Chapter 2146
The Joker roams in the new city.
He has a goal that all lunatics in Arkham don't know, he wants to investigate a thing that has always made him feel confused.
The Joker feels that he has lost some things.
This Joker can be called the darkest and craziest Joker, because he has no origin story.
When the New 52 Joker debuted, he was Red Hood No. 1, and this Red Hood was not Jason, but the leader of the Red Hood Gang, the leader of a gangster organization.
The Red Hood Gang targeted Bruce Wei En and forced him into a dangerous situation several times until Batman appeared.
Batman defeated Red Hood No. 1, he fell into the chemical pool, and then became the Joker. This is the whole background story of the New 52 Joker.
Without the worst day, the childhood of the New 52 Joker was full of misfortune, but it can also be said that he is a born bad seed, he shaped his own evil, and chose the path he wanted to take.
After the Joker appeared, he became Batman's number one dead enemy, creating countless big cases in Cat Getan. Originally, all this was very normal, until one day it became abnormal.
Recently, the Joker has been having a dream. He dreams that he is broken into tens of thousands of pieces, floating in the galaxy, and then reorganized.
He dreams that the current himself is not himself, and the previous himself is not himself. He has a more past past, but now all that has disappeared.
Without a trace, imperceptible, no one around realized this, but the Joker's genius and sensitivity at the same level as his madness made him realize that he must have lost something.
The next thing is very simple. He needs to find the differences between these two universes, the differences between the Batmen of the two universes, and the differences between the Jokers of the two universes. He chose to investigate the Joker in this new city first.
The Joker doesn't know exactly what stage the Joker of this universe has developed to. Perhaps he hasn't appeared yet, perhaps he is already Batman's dead enemy.
To find the first clue for investigation, the best way is to watch the news, because if the Joker appears, it is impossible not to have the big cases he created in the news.
The Joker wandered to the newspaper kiosk on the street, knocked on the window to buy a newspaper. He didn't have the mood to threaten anyone for the time being, so he found a corner of a small alley and squatted down, and began to flip through the newspaper.
The cover of the newspaper shocked him. The Brooklyn Bridge collapsed. Although the Joker didn't know the Brooklyn Bridge, he also knew that this must be a major event. Was it an explosion case created by himself in this universe?
The Joker patiently flipped through the newspaper, read the dense text carefully, and then he found that he might be illiterate.
He knew what every word on this meant, but it was a bit unreadable when connected together.
What is called "S. H. I. E. L. D. witnessed Green Goblin kidnapping Hulk in the process of chasing Green Goblin who angered Hulk, causing the middle section of the Brooklyn Bridge to tear and fly to the 79th floor of the Stark building with the mages, killers, Captain America, and S. H. I. E. L. D. agents on the bridge, causing a mysterious superhero to return the Stark building to Cat Getan Pier"?
Although it is not very possible to infer the specific situation of this case, the Joker knows that this should not be an explosion case created by himself. He continued to flip down, and saw the large-scale power outage accident on Gell Street.
After reading it carefully, he found that it had nothing to do with him, and saw the case of a large amount of sand and soil piled up at the port and the sugar factory being attacked. This didn't look like the Joker's work either.
Flipping down again, more bizarre cases appeared in front of the Joker. Parking lot explosion, tunnel explosion, TV station roof explosion, ice cream truck explosion, a total of more than 50 explosion cases were counted, but none of them had the shadow of the Joker.
Very good, it seems that the Joker hasn't become the Joker yet. This is the Joker's first reaction, but soon he felt that this speculation was not accurate, because the competitive intensity of this city was a bit too big.
The Joker is a human. Theoretically, he also has to buy vegetables and cook, fill his stomach, sleep and rest, and watch TV in the gaps of manufacturing explosion cases.
This is also why Spider-Man caused such big trouble for the Joker before. Spider-Man only cared about the Joker's amateur life, and amateur life is also an important part of the Joker's life.
But if more than 50 large-scale explosion cases occur in a city in one day, the Joker calculates that he can only produce three decent cases if he manufactures explosion cases 24 hours a day without sleep, and he will probably be completely drowned in the ocean of explosion case news, and reporters may not have time to report him.
The Joker looked at all the murderers of the explosion cases introduced in this newspaper in detail. There was no interest appeal, no suffering plot, half of them were mutant ability out of control, half were super-powered criminals brushing their presence, and a very small part was the struggle of superhero teams.
The Joker really couldn't watch this kind of boring newspaper, and couldn't find clues in the news, so he could only go to several places where the Joker often appeared to squat.
When it comes to the Joker, many people may think of chemical plants, but in fact, the Joker doesn't live in chemical plants, nor does he often go to chemical plants. That is just a moment in his life.
The Joker substituted into his own conditions and felt that the Joker of this universe should only be able to afford a house in the slums, so he walked toward the place where the population was visually the most dense.
However, judging from the style of nearby buildings and the cars parked on the side of the road, this should be a wealthy area, still a distance from the slums.
Just after turning a corner, the Joker saw a police car with a familiar police badge. It obviously came from the Cat Getan Police Department, and there was another car parked next to it, the form of which he was not familiar with, but it could be inferred that it probably belonged to some intelligence organization.
Staring at the shield-shaped logo, the Joker narrowed his eyes. Judging from the state of the agents standing by the car, this would not be a very easy organization to deal with, because this group of agents was more like hungry wolves with green eyes than justice makers.
The Joker stood in the shadow of the small alley, only sticking out half of his face to look at the situation on the street. He heard a voice in the noisy siren and noise.
"I didn't expect that there were their killers hidden here. If it weren't for that guy called... mutant? Suddenly going crazy, we really wouldn't necessarily be able to pull them out."
The Joker saw a strong man in a suit standing behind the car, his hair combed meticulously. He heard the police officer next to him call him Detective Bullock.
And another man wearing more casual clothes stood leaning against the guardrail. He had very short hair and a strong figure. He said to Bullock: "Mr. Bullock, I must correct a view you have about mutants. They are indeed a bit unstable, but if it weren't for that fighter plane with a bat pattern suddenly falling down, he wouldn't have gone crazy because of stimulation."
"But our people saw armor around, coming from... Iron Man? Is that the name? Perhaps they had a little friction in the air, Mr. Coulson. Perhaps S. H. I. E. L. D. should promulgate new air safety regulations."
"We will." Coulson walked to the S. H. I. E. L. D. car and looked back at Bullock and said: "And that toy murder case that happened in this block is probably not the work of mutants."
The S. H. I. E. L. D. car drove away. Bullock's face sank. It was not that he had to compete with S. H. I. E. L. D. in terms of urban security, but if the troubles encountered by the two sides were entangled together, one side must take main responsibility.
Bullock waved his hand at his subordinates. The killer hit by the anesthetic dart was lifted onto the escort car behind. The killer had a claw pattern on his arm, obviously from the mysterious organization Court of Owls that had just been discovered and investigated.
After the car escorting the killer left the street, Bullock called another subordinate and said: "What about that criminal called Toyman? He's really unlucky. He encountered such a thing on the way to escort. How long has he been here?"
"His prisoner transport vehicle has been waiting here for half an hour, Detective." The security officer of the area looked at his watch and said: "The road ahead was blocked by that organization called S. H. I. E. L. D., and no car can drive over. He can only wait there."
"What did he commit?"
"He can make toys that can move. He used these toys to sneak into his neighbor's house and killed their newborn baby and the dog they raised. But when we went to arrest him, he didn't resist."
"He sat in place and talked nonsense, saying that he was the best toy designer in the world, but the neighbor's child threw the toy he designed to the dog to play with, so he deserved to die."
Bullock covered his forehead with a headache, stopped the detective from continuing, and said: "Okay, you know this, I know this, don't let S. H. I. E. L. D. know. You know, although this city called New York is confusing enough to make people drop their jaws, when it comes to mental perverts, Cat Getan is even better."
After speaking, he waved his hand and let the detective hurry to sort out the traffic situation ahead, so that the prisoner transport vehicle carrying Toyman could drive over. Because of the crashed Batwing and the mutants stimulated by the Batwing, and the battle between the Claws who exposed their identities to fight the mutants, it had been delayed here for half an hour.
It's time to queue up to transport criminals these days. Bullock sighed in his heart, but didn't take it seriously, and turned to walk to the other side of the street.
"No!!!!!!"
The detective's scream came. Bullock ran over hurriedly, and what he saw was only the open prisoner transport vehicle door, the empty interior of the prisoner transport vehicle, the escort police officer lying on the side covered in blood, and a pitchfork also stained with blood.
Bang!
An explosion sounded from the other side of the street. Bullock, who was already like a bird of prey, looked at the crime scene here, but still decided to rush to the explosion site first. The crowd there had not been evacuated. Once an explosion occurred, more people would be endangered.
The police chief and the surviving police officers also took out their pistols and ran over. After a while, the Joker's figure appeared in front of the prisoner transport vehicle door. He bent down and picked up a hair from the back of the police officer's corpse.
He turned his fingers lightly, and the hair flashed under the light of the street lamp. Through the faint reflection, the Joker saw that it was a long green hair.
The Joker showed a playful smile. It seems that another self has become the Joker, and then he lowered his head and looked at the half footprint on the edge of the bloodstain on the police officer's chest.
Just on the soft mud beside the fatal wound of the corpse, the footsteps were steady and powerful, and the footprints were clearly visible, as if he wanted to write his shoe size, dressing style, and center of gravity when walking on the ground.
The Joker just wanted to get closer to observe whether the other party deliberately left it, and heard some movement on the roof of the house.
The Joker subconsciously shrank his neck, bent down and got into the prisoner transport vehicle, used his hand to pull the door on one side, shrank in the corner of the door crack and looked out.
A familiar figure landed on the ground. The Joker found that it was Bruce Wei En.
He knew that Batman couldn't let go of the Joker, right? He must have been chasing the Joker without sleep, and found the evidence of the Joker's crime here again.
Found the evidence of the Joker's crime.
Found the evidence of the Joker's crime...
Found...
Found...
Found...
Batman didn't find it.
Batman turned and left.
The Joker was stunned.
