Chapter 40
Under the magnificent music.
It seemed to symbolize change!
Su Chen walked with an incredibly confident pace, step by step out of the apartment.
In the astonished eyes of all the viewers.
He knocked on the door of the female neighbor Su Fei, directly held her face, and kissed her straight away!
Unexpectedly to everyone!
After a moment of stunned silence, the latter responded even more enthusiastically.
She closed the apartment door behind her.
Clearly, the result was self-evident!
While all the viewers felt incredible, they were also suddenly happy!
Didn't expect Su Chen's impulsive behavior!
Actually brought him love unexpectedly?!
This definitely counts as an unexpected joy!
Sure enough, a confident man is the most charming!
And after this night, which symbolized Arthur's transformation!
The scene changed.
Su Chen came to the social worker's hospital again to get a prescription.
The medicine at home for his mental illness was running low.
If he didn't continue taking the medicine, the other personality hidden in his heart would completely lose control.
And now, Su Chen's sanity still had the upper hand.
"I heard this song on the radio the other day."
"That guy was singing, saying his name is Carnival. It's crazy, because this is my clown nickname at work!"
"Until recently, it seemed like no one noticed me, and even I wasn't sure if I really existed."
Su Chen held a cigarette in his right hand, confiding his inner thoughts to the social worker.
His tone was calm and thoughtful.
But after just saying a few sentences.
He was interrupted by the social worker opposite.
Su Chen was stunned, smiled with some anger and some relief, looked straight into the other person's eyes and said.
"You weren't listening at all, right?"
"I feel like you've never really listened to me, you just repeat the same questions every week."
"Is work going well? Do you have any negative thoughts?"
"My head is full of negative thoughts, but you wouldn't listen anyway!"
"I said! My whole life! I wasn't sure if I really existed!"
"But now I'm sure! People are starting to notice me!"
Speaking of this.
Su Chen's tone carried a trace of excitement.
Because the news of him killing three people was being broadcast on TV, and the whole city seemed to be starting to notice him!
This was the first time he had received so much attention and focus from the outside world!
As Arthur's personality, he seemed to have fallen in love with this feeling.
But at the same time.
The social worker opposite also told Su Chen bad news.
The upper levels of Gotham City had cut the budget.
Psychological clinics of a social welfare nature would no longer exist.
The only place where Su Chen could confide his inner thoughts would also cease to exist!
"Then how will I get my medicine in the future? Who should I go to?"
"I'm sorry, Arthur."
The reply to Su Chen was only the word sorry.
And this sentence.
Meant that Su Chen's source of medicine from now on would no longer be stable!
Countless viewers couldn't help but worry.
But Su Chen just cursed under his breath and didn't delve further.
It was as if his heart was also secretly looking forward to releasing the clown's personality.
With this mindset, Su Chen's subsequent life didn't seem to be affected.
When he tried to perform on stage for the first time!
Su Chen even specially invited Su Fei to watch.
The relationship between the two seemed to have been officially confirmed at this time!
Although there were some accidents during the first performance.
But under Su Fei's encouraging gaze.
Su Chen still confidently and elegantly completed the performance smoothly!
He harvested the cheers and applause of all the viewers present!
This was his first stage performance! But he conquered all the viewers at the scene!
He seemed... successful?!
Successfully became someone who could bring joy to others!
Everything was surprisingly smooth! Just like his romance with Su Fei!
Returning home at night.
Looking at the letter on the coffee table.
Su Chen could no longer suppress the curiosity in his heart and opened the envelope.
And instantly.
The content of the letter left Su Chen, including the viewers in front of the screen, frozen in place!
The entire text contained the mother's request to Wayne, hoping to give her son some help.
The mother and the former boss she spoke of, Thomas Wayne...
Were not just a simple superior-subordinate relationship! They once had a romance!
And Arthur.... was actually Thomas Wayne's illegitimate son?!
Everyone couldn't believe it.
This sudden truth was a bit too shocking!
Until Su Chen confirmed it again from his mother's mouth....
Only then did he learn...
It turned out that he had other relatives in this world! And that relative was actually Thomas Wayne, who was about to take office as mayor and was high and mighty!
But in reality, wealth and status were not important to Su Chen.
What he truly longed for was just the warmth and love from his relatives!
When all the viewers were still digesting this news.
The scene changed.
Su Chen had already arrived outside the Wayne family estate the next day!
But... except for seeing his half-brother through the heavy iron gate, Su Chen gained nothing!
The request to see Thomas Wayne was directly rejected by the butler.
He was even slandered by the butler that his mother had delusions!
With anger.
Su Chen left this huge estate that belonged exclusively to the rich.
And it seemed his good luck had come to an end.
Misfortune came one after another.
When Su Chen returned home.
He only saw his mother, who had been sent to the hospital due to a stroke, and the official personnel who came to investigate the subway clown case.
Su Chen... began to be suspected! The news naturally leaked from the clown company.
He brushed off the investigators with a few words.
Su Chen returned to the ward, his expression a bit tired; he was too tired.
He had just lost his job, was entangled in a murder case, and his mother had fallen ill.
There were few important people in the world for him.
People who supported Su Chen's spiritual world!
Only his mother, Su Fei, and Murray, the stand-up comedy idol Su Chen worshipped, were left!
However, at this moment, his mother was lying on the hospital bed next to him, and the situation was not optimistic.
Fortunately, Su Fei was there to comfort him!
On TV, Su Chen and his mother's favorite TV show was also playing.
The Murray Show!
Murray's voice gave Su Chen some solace; Su Chen reached out and held his mother's hand while watching TV.
It seemed he wanted to get strength and warmth from his mother and Murray.
Su Chen.... was too lacking in warmth.
His spiritual world needed the support of pillars...
Fortunately, watching Murray's show, he could laugh easily.
[Woo woo, why do bad things happen one after another...]
[Poor Arthur... lost his job, his mother fell ill, and he started to be suspected!]
[What that butler said... is it true or not?? Does Arthur's mother really have delusions?]
[Watching the Arthur brothers looking at each other across the gate, my heart tightened, separated by an iron gate.. but like two worlds!]
[Fortunately... Arthur still has Su Fei's company! And also has his idol Murray as a spiritual sustenance!]
[Su Chen will definitely firmly accompany Arthur to the end, right!]
[And his mother only had a stroke, the probability of recovery is still very high!]
Watching Arthur take the stand-up comedy show as his spiritual sustenance.
All the viewers' hearts couldn't help but ache.
There were too few people in this world who were good to Arthur and willing to give Arthur warmth.
After his colleague revealed his sinister true colors, only his mother and Su Fei were truly accompanying Arthur.
But just when all the viewers were secretly praying.
On TV.
"Someone filmed this video at the local Pogo Comedy Club in Gotham City."
"Someone thinks that as long as he keeps laughing, he has a sense of humor!"
"Let's take a look at this ridiculous clown."
Murray's malicious and sarcastic voice came from the TV.
Then.
Su Chen's figure suddenly appeared on the TV!
What appeared on the TV....
Was the footage of Su Chen's first performance at the club!
Instantly!
Su Chen stood up suddenly!
He... actually appeared on TV?!
Su Chen couldn't believe it; while surprised and happy, he watched the joke he told on TV and laughed until he was bent over.
But as the show progressed.
Murray expressed unpleasant opinions and comments again and again.
The expression on Su Chen's face gradually solidified.
At this moment, he realized! His idol on TV not only used his video as material for ridicule! Fooling him at will!
Even in his words, he didn't hide his belittlement and insult towards Su Chen at all.
At this moment.
Su Chen looked up at the TV quietly.
The coldness and anger in his eyes were clearly visible.
But countless viewers felt even more sorry for Su Chen at this moment.
