Chapter 2256: Cat Getan Music Festival (4)

~10 min read 1,942 words

In the cool evening of Cat Getan, accompanied by a cheer from the Mayor of Cat Getan, the Cat Getan Music Festival opened its curtains.

As the prelude to the theme song of the Cat Getan Music Festival, "Dream of Fool's Village," sounded, the crowd around the square erupted in huge cheers. A figure in a gorgeous purple dress walked onto the stage, gently lifted the hem of her skirt, and while revealing a bright smile, waved toward the audience.

Bruce looked up at Selina, who was radiant on the stage. He had never imagined that this girl from the slums now looked like a full-fledged Hollywood star.

Although Selina, who had appeared in several supporting roles in movies, couldn't be called an overnight sensation, her overflowing vitality, wild charm, and mysteriousness like a cat still left a deep impression on global audiences, accumulating quite a lot of fans. Many tourists present were here for her.

In order to promote the music festival, the government naturally funded the creation of the theme song for this music festival. Although rap is good, it is not a very popular music type, so the theme song is still jazz music full of vitality and dynamics.

This type of music is very suitable for Selina's singing style. Perhaps because of her black ancestry, or perhaps because she lived at the bottom for a long time, her pronunciation method has the characteristics of low-pitched thickness peculiar to brown people, and the chest and brain cavity resonance is extremely stable. In short, it has a diva flavor.

This music style is most suitable for setting the whole scene on fire. As soon as Selina opened her voice, the audience erupted in cheers that were higher than one wave after another. Everyone was twisting their bodies following the exciting music, and Bruce saw Selina wink at him.

After a song ended, the atmosphere was directly brought to a climax. The host spoke the opening remarks in a high-pitched tone, and the audience burst into laughter one after another because of his black humor jokes.

The next one to appear was a stand-up comedian, who was also a local of Cat Getan. He used to be a middle-level member of a gang, so the gang stories he told were real and interesting. The bold teasing made many rap singers from gangs feel sweaty.

Next were two rap songs from Puff Daddy's label, both newcomers, obviously reaching a cooperation with the organizer.

And then it was the performance of the Cat Getan University cheerleading troupe, which brought the atmosphere to a climax again. Later, two other dance troupes used dancing to insert a soft advertisement for the Imperial City Casino, but because the atmosphere was enthusiastic enough, the effect was very significant.

"I think everyone is a bit tired after watching the dance for so long. What? You are not tired?" The host made an exaggeratedly shocked expression and said, "I have to ask the male compatriots present to restrain themselves. Look at the expressions of your female companions. What? What did this lady say? No, no, we can't perform the Magic Mike show here, but you know, see you on the top floor of Wei En Tower at 8 o'clock tonight."

"Alright, alright, friends, let the blood return to your brains. Next, we must invite a comedy master. Perhaps you don't hear his name often, but his wonderful comedy performance will definitely make you dumbfounded."

When the host said this, Batman below had a bad premonition. Almost all Batmen were a bit allergic to the word "comedy master," but they didn't think the Batman of this universe would really be crazy enough to invite the Joker up.

The Joker really came up.

But it wasn't the Joker Jack of this universe. He wasn't a comedian, but a truck driver. He should be delivering the second-to-last load to Wei En Hotel now and hadn't finished work yet. The one who came was the Phoenix Joker Arthur whom Bruce met in Battleworld before.

He wore his classic red suit, his hair was dyed bright green again, and the white paint on his face had been applied. When he walked onto the stage, he walked with rhythmic steps like a dancer, one hand in his pocket, and the other holding a microphone.

The rest of the Batmen under the stage covered their eyes. Who knew that the first sentence Joker Arthur said was, "I went to see a psychologist yesterday..."

Very good, now the Joker is not the biggest problem. Which psychologist can he go to see?

"You must have had such an experience. One day people say you are crazy, but the only way they solve your madness is to recommend a crappy doctor who only works two weeks a year. He can't even prescribe medicine. All he does is look at you with impatient eyes every day."

"Then you smile at him." Arthur gave a dry laugh, suddenly revealing a slightly tentative, timid expression, as if he were really sitting opposite some fierce psychologist, "Just like this, feeling like he is a teacher and you are a student who got a zero on the test. This is all my understanding of psychology in the first half of my life."

"Very unfortunately, a good friend of mine, you might be more familiar with him than I am, Bruce Wei En, the famous world's richest man, refreshed my understanding of these crappy doctors—because they can at least graduate from the psychology major, and our richest man almost got held back."

The audience burst into a violent burst of laughter. Obviously, Bruce didn't avoid talking about his poor grades in college, and he got along well with his classmates in college, so many people were teasing reporters about how many disasters Bruce experienced when he graduated from undergraduate, and how close he was to the shameful delay of graduation.

Who wouldn't like to tease the world's richest man? This joke has been repeatedly used by hosts of various radio media, and stand-up comedians often take it as a joke. As a result, everyone now mentions Bruce Wei En, besides knowing he is rich and handsome, it is talking about his unlucky thing of almost not being able to graduate from college.

Bruce, standing under the stage, immediately let out a shout and pointed his finger at Arthur on the stage. Arthur also smiled and pointed his finger at Bruce, then stretched out his finger to point at everyone under the stage and said, "Don't rush to laugh. Do you think he needs to pay back student loans like you? Come on, reading for an extra year is his profit!"

The audience immediately erupted in violent shouts, and the audience made sighs very cooperatively. Arthur immediately lowered his head and snorted, paced slowly on the stage and said, "Look, this group of billionaires is like this. They never worry about money. This is their confidence."

"I know that although you look surprised, you must be thinking in your heart, oh, this is another liar full of lies, doing whatever it takes for the show effect of the talk show."

"But just a few months ago, I was punched in the bridge of the nose by Thomas Wei En." Arthur hooked his fist and punched his nose, then fell back violently as if he had really been hit hard.

The audience exclaimed, but Arthur stood up straight and laughed and said, "Alright, it wasn't that heavy, but of course you would wonder what I did. Was it that I beat his son hard?"

"On the contrary, I think I am his son."

Arthur's shocking revelation made the whole audience boil instantly. The topic of illegitimate children in Europe and the United States has always been very hot, and there are even many programs specifically helping illegitimate children find their parents to seek justice, and the topic heat has always been high.

This made even those who didn't listen to the talk show at all couldn't help but move their attention away from their phones and stare tightly at Arthur's face, as if they wanted to find a trace of similarity with the members of the Wei En family from his face.

Bruce, however, smiled helplessly. He knew what was going on.

Before, when they were watching the movie, Bruce promised Arthur to invite him to the music festival for a talk show performance. Arthur didn't take it seriously at the time, but as a result, Bruce really went to find him.

In fact, when Arthur entered Battleworld, he was already the Joker, which means that the tragedies that happened to the comedian Arthur had reached their final destination.

The plot of the movie "Joker" is very simple, with no grievances between superheroes, and no major events involving the destruction of the world and the universe. From beginning to end, it is about how a failed comedian turns from a madman into a criminal.

There is no doubt that Arthur was a mental patient when he appeared, and he had a disease that would uncontrollably laugh, which also caused him various accidents.

However, the decisive factor was his mother. His mother had been nagging Arthur that she was waiting for Thomas Wei En's reply, and that he would not abandon their mother and son, which made Arthur firmly believe that he was an illegitimate child of the Wei En family.

He went to find Thomas, but Thomas said his mother was a mental patient who had been pestering him. Arthur didn't believe it and kept wanting to get close to Thomas, but ended up being punched by Thomas.

Later, the frustrated Arthur went to Arkham Asylum to investigate his mother's medical records, only to find that his mother was indeed a mental patient, and Arthur was not her biological child at all, but adopted by her, and she had abused him since childhood. The mental illness of uncontrollably laughing was also caused by this.

Unfortunately, the government department closed the psychological treatment clinic in the community, and the Joker, who was stimulated and no longer accepted treatment, became more crazy, finally killed him on Franklin's talk show, and was sentenced to prison.

Arthur entered Battleworld on the way to being detained. At that time, he was already a complete Joker, not a mental patient with mental illness.

And on the last day of the bail period, Bruce came and used a large sum of money to bail Arthur out.

Arthur knew he was not from this universe and really wanted to know where Bruce's money came from. As a result, Bruce told him lightly that he had carried out some systematic lending in macroeconomics.

Later, when he saw Bruce playing on the computer, Arthur knew that this crazy teenager had hacked into the Federal Reserve system, directly modified the numbers in his bank account, and didn't do any cover-up.

The result was obvious. The FBI came to the door, and the two fled together.

What's more annoying is that Bruce still thought it was very interesting and kept laughing on the way to escape. He didn't stop at all, as if he were the crazy person who couldn't control his laughter.

And Arthur felt that Thomas really should practice his boxing well. ===== CHAPTER 2257 =====

What was even more infuriating was that Bruce actually thought it was quite interesting. He kept laughing the entire way while on the run; he never stopped, as if he were the madman who couldn't control his laughter.

And Arthur felt that Thomas really ought to practice his boxing techniques properly.
