Laughing American comics, I am becoming more and more like a clown

……

"Just like the fight for the Joker or Batman in -22... maybe I can become the Flash?"

"Do I need to yell 'I'm the Flash'?" The Flash jumped up.

"...No need." Lucian shook his head: "There is no Flash here. Even if there is, he is still alive. We can't compete for his status."

"I was just joking, don't think too much about it."

……

"Oh."

……

Normally, superheroes and super villains have extraordinary schedules, but this is not the case with Lucian.

Going to bed around ten o'clock in the evening and getting up at six o'clock in the morning... This is a habit he has maintained for ten years.

"……Good morning."

But when Lucien opened his eyes, he saw Reuben lying on the side of his bed with dark circles under his eyes. Reuben's eyes were full of red bloodshot, as if he had been crying, and his eyelids were red and swollen. It seemed that he had not slept all night.

Seeing Lucien wake up, he forced a smile and greeted him, then said: "...You're right, I should go back."

……

Reuben packed all his luggage into a brown suitcase, put on his leather jacket, and after saying this to Lucien, he stood up and walked out.

Lucian: “?”

"You leaving now?"

"...I've been thinking about it all night, and you're right." Reuben's voice was hoarse. "I'm going back now. Thank you, Lucien."

Lucian pursed his lips, put on his clothes, and got up with them: "Let me see you off."

……

Looking for the Fountain of Youth in the desert, especially in a territory controlled by the Assassin's League, seems strange no matter how you look at it.

Lucien really didn't expect that what he said would be true.

There was a jeep driven by a local parked outside. When he saw Reuben coming out, he honked the horn twice, urging him to come.

"I'm leaving first..." After a final bow to Lucien, Reuben opened the car door and got in.

Lucien hesitantly raised his hand and waved goodbye, looking at the dust raised by the jeep's departure.

"...Is there really no conspiracy?"

After waiting for a moment, Lucien had to confirm this fact.

"Why do I feel a pang of conscience..."

But when he looked back, he realized that his conscience had pangs too early.

Chapter 79 Lei Xiaogu =

"Good morning, Mr. Lucien."

A middle-aged man appeared quietly.

Lucian narrowed his eyes slightly: "You are..."

"Leshao Ogu," he said.

……

Assassin's League!

Lei Xiaogu was the leader who was killed by the clown in -22.

……

"So Reuben..." Lucien gestured to the road where the jeep was passing.

"It's just an exchange of interests." Lei Xiaogu said slowly: "I gave him the medicine to save my mother, and asked him to lure you out. It's that simple."

"Alright." Lucian smiled and looked him straight in the face. "That makes sense. After all, you're a filial son willing to brave the wilderness for your mother... So why did you seek me out?"

"Is it Bruce Wayne? Or...the Fountain of Youth?"

The Dionysus factor in Lucien is not the one in the Joker's spine, but the product of the Joker's purification after stealing the Pool of Lazarus.

This also means that if the Assassin's League had the means to detect it, they would be able to confirm with certainty that half of Lazarus was hidden in his spine.

"I am very curious about what happened to you and how you came back to life... I come to you with great sincerity to ask for cooperation." Lei Xiaogu was extremely polite.

It seems that the Assassin's League has no means of detection, but it is understandable. Who can suspect that others have stolen the water when there is not a drop missing from their own pool?

……

Lucien took out a cigarette made by the locals from his pocket, struck a flame with a match and lit it.

"You were there when I rescued Bruce, right?"

How do we know Lucian is immortal? He has too many flaws in the desert.

Think about it, a person who can survive without eating or drinking.

"Not only that, Wayne's serious injury was also our fault." Lei Xiaogu smiled.

"...Well, I should really thank you."

Lucian glanced at him and said, "You didn't come back to me after severely injuring me... I think you are sincere."

……

Lucian understood that his vacation time was over and he would have to battle with countless old foxes.

……

He exhaled the smoke from his mouth.

"Very smart." Lei Xiaogu looked at her with admiration.

"Oh, smart! I really hate that word." Lucian smiled. "Actually, no matter how stupid a person is, if he spends a long time with a highly intelligent psychopath and is constantly tricked by them...then he will become smart."

He looked at Lei Xiaogu and said, "Yes, this is the price of my immortality... Letting a madman's consciousness reside in my head... He will constantly deceive and instigate me. Although he bears the side effects of the drugs on my behalf, his initiative is also increasing."

"Another person with the same variables as me has been replaced by that madman's personality."

"And I was lucky enough to survive..."

……

truth.

Lucian has been constantly betrayed by the Joker during his long relationship with him, while the other Batman, who has been infected with the Joker virus, has gone crazy and is laughing maniacally.

……

They found a table in the tavern and sat opposite each other. In front of Lucian were two slightly burnt fried eggs and a bottle of milk, while in front of Lei Xiaogu there was nothing.

"Did you come here after eating?" Lucien asked.

"Yes, perhaps you would also like to experience the Assassin's League's breakfast?" Lei Xiaogu said, "You can eat food from all over the world."

He is inviting.

Ten years ago, it would be hard for Lucien to say whether he would be interested in this.

But now, he bit the burnt edge of his fried egg and said, "I'm sorry, I've had breakfast in 189 countries, but for me, fried eggs and milk are the best combination."

He refused.

"My success cannot be replicated... Of course, if you insist on studying me, I can't do anything about it."

Although the Lazarus Pool of the Assassin's League can give people the ability to achieve immortality, it can also significantly change the recipient's personality and cause them to become dependent.

Lucian remembered that in the limited number of collaborations between the League of Assassins and the Court of Owls, the mutual conditions, apart from the crisis at the time, were the exchange of their respective technologies regarding immortality.

"Are you going to capture me and study me?" He looked up and met Lei Xiaogu's gaze, their two pairs of eyes of almost the same color reflecting light.

Lei Xiaogu shook his head slightly, displaying the ambition of a leader of a major power. "I don't want to force you. What I want is voluntary cooperation from both sides."

"What if I don't want to?"

"That's my problem."

Lucian looked at him and smiled: "If you can really impress me."

He was trapped in both worlds once, escaping the first time with the help of the Joker and the second time with the help of Bruce.

Although he was imprisoned for the first time because of the Joker, he was imprisoned for the second time because of Bruce.

"Then I am willing to cooperate fully with you."

But Lucien didn't think he was willing to be imprisoned voluntarily.

He looked at Lei Xiaogu and smiled: "I'm looking forward to it."

……

Lei Xiaogu looked at the milk in Lucian's hand and said:

"If I could give Wayne more resources."

"Please feel free to do so."

"I can make Reuben's mother die violently."

"It doesn't matter."

"Your source is Gotham, and I can help you develop it."

"You're so kind then." Lucian remained unmoved. "You should know that I really despise that city."

Lei Xiaogu couldn't see any interest on his face.

Of course, Lucien was not moved. He listened to Lei Xiaogu's temptations from various angles, levels and statements, and only felt that the milk in his hand was particularly delicious.

Just like "The Moon and Sixpence", Lucian may not have his own moon, but he will not be balanced by sixpence.
