"Here you are."

"Here I am."

"You shouldn't have come."

“…… Didn't you ask me to come? "

In the evening, Bruce, who incarnates Batman, comes to the appointed position and experiences the above dialogue.

"It's nothing, it's just a role play on the spur of the moment," said Zhou Yi, shaking his hand and losing interest. He decided not to play with Bruce in the future.

This man can't catch it. It's boring!

"What happened?" Bruce has long been used to Zhou Yi's habit of talking nonsense. He goes straight to the topic and asks.

"At this moment, the curtain is gradually rising, and our performance has begun," said Zhou Yi, holding his hand and looking into the distance. "My audience has entered Let's start

“……” Bruce's mouth twitched slightly and remained silent for a long time.

Is that ready?

But why do you always feel that Zhou Yi seems a little Isn't it just a little strange?

Otherwise, you'd better give up the plan and run over Bruce thought about it seriously, but he didn't say it in the end.

No matter how sick Zhou Yi is, Bruce still believes in Zhou Yi's ability.

Two days later.

Wayne group, press conference.

"Mr. Wayne, Mr. Wayne!"

A reporter raised his video: "this is what we received Video from the clown! He said it must be shown in public before the press conference! Otherwise Punish director Gordon and judge Dawes (Rachel Dawes)! "

"Check it out." Bruce told the staff.

After the staff took the video and checked it, they found that there was no problem and there was no hidden bomb. They shook their heads to Bruce.

"Then play it." Bruce's face remained the same, and his words sparked another flash of light.

The video is played.

"Batman, make Gotham more orderly, and let beauty return to the world! He is the embodiment of justice, he is the messenger of heaven

At the beginning, it was like a intonation of chanting poetry, but what was carried in the chanting was the trembling that could be heard by individuals, which destroyed the artistic conception.

Chanting finished, fell into silence, only the rustle of noise, is the tension of the atmosphere.

"Ha ha ha Ha ha ha Hey, hey, hey

A series of strange laughter from small to large appeared, hitting the heart, causing the restlessness of those reporters.

The laughter didn't stop until it was about to fork out. Then, in the camera, a face painted with white, red and black appeared. The red crossed the lips and almost extended to the roots of the ears, forming an exaggerated smile.

Clown!

“Whysoserious?”

The clown tilted his head and showed a smile. Under the influence of the makeup, it was particularly exaggerated.

No one can laugh.

"This is a happy day, because the legendary Batman is about to meet you all!"

"So, I went out of my way to find a priest..." The clown turns the camera and points to a priest, who is dressed as a clergyman with a cross on his chest and a Batman's headgear on his head.

What's more weird and absurd is that even the holy image in front of the priest is painted like Batman!

"Week?" Bruce frowned and whispered.

"It's settled."

Receiving Zhou Yi's reply, Bruce feels relieved, but still frowns.

It's all about acting.

"Batman, in Gotham, you are just like an almighty God, bringing warm light to the world Ha ha ha Tut Tut, "the clown pointed his camera at him again. His face occupied the whole screen. After laughing strangely, he licked his lips and gasped," I'm almost out of breath! "

"So, are you Batman? Well The clown pointed the camera at the priest again. When the priest didn't answer, he suddenly roared, "look at me, answer me!"

“…… It's not... " The priest's answer even brought a cry.

"Then why did you put on his headgear, why?"

"Because Because... " The priest wanted to say it was the clown who put it on him, but he didn't dare to say it.

"Let me answer for you Because you think Batman can save you like a God, make Gotham better and eliminate all evils, huh The clown's tone suddenly became very gentle, which made people shiver and get goose bumps.

“…… Yes? " The priest replied, trembling.

"So it is..." The clown suddenly realized, "Batman is God! He can make Gotham beautiful! Eliminate all evils Ha ha ha ha ha

Another bunch of nervous laughter."Batman, you are a God, so you can find me; you are a God, so you can save all people without hurting them, right?" The clown still wore an exaggerated smile on his face and licked his bloody lips from time to time.

"Well, you can also take off your mask at the press conference and let others see your God's face Promise me not to be alone or not to uncover Otherwise, dear director Gordon and judge Dawes, as well as this poor priest, and many more people, will all die? "

"Ha ha ha ha!"

After a series of neurotic laughs, the video is over.

There is no doubt that this is a trick from the clown, a game in which no matter what you choose, the result is not good.

It can even be said that as long as Bruce makes a choice, then the clown wins the game!

If Batman chooses to uncover his mask, his true identity will be made public. Even the credibility and the logo he has built up before will be doubted. Who knows if Bruce is fighting criminals for the benefit of Wayne group?

If Batman doesn't uncover his mask, people will die, and Batman's credibility will also be questioned - there will always be comments like this: "isn't it a face? There's something we don't dare to show", "even if we show our face, we will believe him", "it's selfish not to show our face", and so on. But in fact, if we really show our identity, it's the worst thing to spray They.

How to choose?

There's no choice.

Fortunately, with Zhou Yi's help, Bruce got a plug-in.

Want to play games with crazy people?

That's something that only a brain can do.

The madman himself is illogical, and he also puts the bet on the madman. He believes in the rules of the game he made up. What is it that is not brain damage?

No matter those so-called rules, according to their own way, is the most correct way to deal with!

If you don't decide, lift the table and it's over!

Of course, the premise is that you have to have the ability to lift the table.

Obviously, Zhou Yi has such ability, and that's what he does.

Although he insisted that he was using a famous theater to deal with clowns But it's essentially no different from the past.

But it's cool. What do you do with all that?

"Ladies and gentlemen," Bruce clapped his hands, as if not affected, and indeed not affected, "the press conference will be held immediately."

A group of reporters looked at Bruce expectantly - they never thought it was too big to watch.

There are very few journalists who really know what should be reported and what should not be reported, and who do not distort the facts or hurt others for the sake of interests.

"A few months ago, Gotham was full of thieves, robbers, gangsters."

"No one cares, and even everyone gets used to it. Criminals are rampant, but representatives of justice, the police and judges, turn a blind eye to it."

"That's not right."

"It is extremely urgent to seek change in the predicament and find a real way to eradicate it."

"Batman found me. He found Gordon and Zhou Yi, who were ordinary policemen at that time. He found Rachel There are also some people who are inconvenient to say their names here. "

"Let's work together and make a plan. Let's dispel the evil cloud and let the sun cover Gotham again."

"We decided to create a symbol - Batman. When criminals dare to commit crimes in Gotham, they will be scared when they think of Batman."

"Darkness and the unknown are the root of fear, and once this sign has a real name, it will have a weakness and no longer have the deterrent power of the past."

"Clown, he is a criminal. He has insight into our plan. He uses people's heart and human life to force Batman to play his own game with him."

"He made it..."

"Half."

Bruce looked at the reporters. After hearing this, the reporters kept flashing lights. They all smelled that a big news might be coming That would be a reversal!

"Batman's identity will be made public."

Bruce glanced around. "But not now."

"Batman will announce Gotham's identity after he's completely rescued!"

"And now, since the clown wants Batman to play a game with him, then We won't play this game with him.

We decided to send him back a stage play, a stage play with him as the audience. "

"This press conference is over! Later, we will arrest the criminal clown! "

……

"Oh Stage play... " In the dark room, the clown sat in front of the TV, watching the live pictures on the TV, watching Bruce Wayne, full of disappointment and expectation.He sensed the unknown.

The situation seems to be out of control?

What capital do they have not to play their own games?

"The stage play can be seen later, but those who don't play games are not good children." the clown picked up the remote control on the desktop, laughed nervously and licked his lips, "tut tut If you are not a good child, you should be punished! "

After that, the clown pressed the button of the remote control in his hand!

There was silence.

There was no imagined explosion.

The clown listened for a while and poked at the remote control several times.

However, there is still no movement.

"% @ * ---"

I don't know what to mumble, but the clown dials his own phone.

Of course, he has the means.

However, his reaction was also beyond his expectation.

"Enjoy the theater," said one of the men“ Mr.Joker

after dialing all the calls and getting the same answer, the clown didn't get angry, but showed a happy smile on his face.

"It's really How interesting The clown laughed wildly.

"This is my stage play for you," a voice suddenly said. "Do you like it?"

"Oh..." The clown threw away his remote control, turned around, tilted his head and looked at Zhou Yi, "although I like it, I hate unruly players."

"I'm really sorry," Zhou Yi said, "but I'm not your player."

"It's the same with the troublemakers."

"Maybe I'm happier to call me an artist."

"Artists? I don't see any art. "

"Art is everything." Zhou Yi smile, "all can be understood, can not be understood, all means, are art."

"You are very much like me..." The clown had a happy smile on his face.

"No, there are essential differences between us. After all, I'm not the same as the artist who said that artists are crazy," Zhou Yi shook his head. "I prefer the bottom line, art."

"That's because you have a goal to guard..." The clown approached and looked directly into Zhou Yi's eyes, as if he could see through his heart. "If one day all the things you want to protect disappear?"

"Your question reminds me of a problem," Zhou Yi said. "The tram is about to pass a fork. A group of bad children are tied to one track, and a good child is tied to another track. The tram can't be stopped and the track won't be destroyed. If it was you, what would you do?"

"Good question, good question, ha ha ha ha!" The clown laughed wildly, "how would you choose?"

"A man named Batman said that he would turn the tram track to the good boy and then go to save the good boy." Zhou Yi said.

"He can't do it."

"No, he said he could, because he was Batman." Zhou Yi said, "and I, I will blow up the tram or destroy the track, because I am Zhou Yi."

"Ha ha ha ha!" The clown laughed wildly for a while, "interesting, interesting, I like you more and more!"

Only crazy people, or people who have absolute confidence in themselves, will not play cards according to the routine and break the rules. In a sense, these two kinds of people are really close.

"But the Batman!" The clown looked directly at Zhou Yi, "not this."

"You're right." Zhou Yi nodded, "it's not this."

"It's so interesting, it's so interesting!" The clown went crazy, "I think See more

"We'll see you again, but not now." Zhou Yi waved his hand.

"I'll see it. One day..." The clown laughed nervously again.
