Chapter 37

On the dim subway.

Su Chen sat in a downcast state, the lights flickering on and off.

It was late at night, and only a few people were scattered on the subway.

And in the carriage adjacent to Su Chen.

Three drunken men in suits and leather shoes began to hit on the girl opposite them, emboldened by the alcohol.

"Hello? Do you want to... eat some fries?"

"No, thank you."

The girl frowned, refusing politely.

But what followed was the other party's even bolder teasing.

"Are you sure? They're delicious!"

The drunken man said, pulling out a fry and aiming it at the girl.

Watching her panic.

The two companions both laughed lecherously.

Instantly, countless viewers in front of the screen clenched their fists in anger.

They, who already had a belly full of anger and grievance, were also on the verge of exploding, wishing they could personally teach these three scumbags a lesson.

But what made the viewers feel even more powerless was.

This whole world seemed to be filled with rotten people, and there was no hope to be seen at all!

[Why are there such scumbags everywhere in Gotham City?!]

[Is there really not a single good person?! Dressed like humans in suits and leather shoes, but they are just a few pieces of trash!]

[Although I really want Arthur to help... but it's better not to stick his neck out right now....]

[Can Arthur handle it?]

[There are three of them, not to mention Arthur's body.... I'm afraid the outcome of helping...]

[It's this kind of powerlessness where nothing can be changed.. this society is too oppressive!]

But the scene that countless viewers least wanted to see still happened.

Facing the teasing of the few, because there was no one else in the carriage.

The girl could only turn her head and look at Su Chen from afar, her eyes full of pleas for help.

Subconsciously.

Su Chen, who had been watching them, turned his head to avoid the girl's gaze.

The expression on his face was full of conflict and tension.

The outcomes of countless encounters forced Su Chen to consider the consequences of everything.

But the next second.

In his hesitation.

Because of the tension of his emotions, Su Chen once again lost control and laughed loudly without warning!

"Hahahahahahahaha!!"

"Hahahahahahahahaha!!"

The laughter was incredibly harsh in the subway.

Instantly, all the viewers' hearts sank.

And the loud laughter naturally attracted the attention of the few.

Looking at this clown laughing wildly.

At this moment!

The girl also quickly took this opportunity to walk past the laughing Su Chen and escaped from this carriage.

"Bitch!!"

The three drunken men cursed angrily, their expressions full of unwillingness and fury.

Then they set their sights on Su Chen, who was laughing non-stop and had ruined their fun.

"Hahahahahahahahaha!!"

"Hahahahahahaha!"

The wild laughter continued.

And regardless of whether Su Chen intended to provoke them, they were not prepared to let him go now.

One of the men in suits walked slowly towards Su Chen with interest, the lights flickering.

Even because of Su Chen's image, he began to sing impromptu.

"I finally stepped onto the ground~ but you are still in mid-air~"

"Let the clowns come out~"

"Isn't this ridiculous? One wandering around, one unable to move, where is the clown?"

"Clowns, it's time to come out!"

Clearly a song closely related to the clown.

Accompanied by the unpleasant singing, the three had already surrounded Su Chen.

"Is there something funny? Huh?"

The drunken man asked in a threatening tone.

Even another one snatched Su Chen's mask and began to play with it.

Even though Su Chen tried to hold back his laughter, shaking his head and pleading for an explanation.

"I... I have a condition..."

But the next second!

Su Chen's explanation was directly and rudely interrupted!

The drunken man lifted him up, locking Su Chen's hands from behind.

Another man in a suit laughed happily, and like hitting a punching bag, he slammed a heavy punch into Su Chen's face!

No surprise!

Su Chen's frail body couldn't withstand this punch at all.

With a dull thud, he fell straight to the ground.

"Stay on the ground! Freak!"

Accompanied by curses and mocking laughter, amidst the flickering lights.

The punches and kicks of the three fell on Su Chen like a violent storm!

Just like the scene of being bullied by thugs that day! Like a nightmare repeating itself!

But this time.

Su Chen did not protect his vital parts.

The expression on his face was full of struggle and ferocity! Blood dripped from his nostrils.

And watching Su Chen incur the beating of the three without even a chance to explain!

All the viewers clenched their fists in anger.

Those dull thuds of fists and feet hitting flesh! It was chilling!

At this moment, countless viewers were angry to the extreme, almost unable to suppress it!

Countless viewers gritted their teeth, only hoping to punish these three scumbags!

Countless viewers felt deep powerlessness, deep oppression!

A ball of fire was burning fiercely in everyone's heart!

And on the ground.

Su Chen, enduring the punches and kicks of the three, did not curl up, did not dodge.

And even less did he plead.

Because he knew that was meaningless.

On Su Chen's face, there was only struggle.

Under the flickering lights.

The heavy and unsettling background music seemed to reach a climax!

Amidst that most urgent and mournful trombone sound!

Darkness descended!

Finally.

There was no more struggle in Su Chen's eyes.

It seemed he had finally decided the fate of the three; they were clearly beyond saving.

A ball full of air had been squeezed to the limit!

What followed was not destruction!

But rebirth!!

And at this moment.

Was this critical point!

Bang!!

A crisp gunshot!!

Resounded through the night sky!!

As the lights flickered, alternating between light and dark!!

Blood bloomed like a flower on the wall! Extremely beautiful!
