Chapter 291 The Death of the Clown

Just when Damian thought he was about to be killed by the "Crazy Laughter" in front of him, Roy said in a normal voice:

"You and Bruce have been living together for a while. Why are you still so reckless? You haven't learned to plan before you act."

After hearing Roy's words, Damian was stunned for a moment.

Laughter is Roy?

Although he recognized Roy's voice, Damian still couldn't accept this fact.

How to say?

In his opinion, Roy's behavior tonight was not something Roy would do at all.

Although Roy had been quite free-spirited before, his wild laughter tonight made Damian feel like a complete lunatic.

"Are you really Roy?"

"Why are you doing this?"

Damian asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"This is not something you should inquire about. The restraint effect on you will disappear in about half an hour."

"I have sent the coordinates to Bruce in advance. He will come to pick you up in a moment."

After saying that, Roy ignored Damian and decisively used Flash.

After solving the little episode brought by Damian, Roy did not return to Kyle Manor immediately, but continued his actions tonight.

After using his Haki and telepathy to kill the criminals who had not yet stopped, he unhurriedly used Flash to return to Kyle Manor.

Kyle Manor.

Underground laboratory.

Roy first removed the "Crazy Laughter" suit he was wearing and turned the suit back into a bracelet.

Then, I started to remove makeup and clean half of the clown costume from my face.

After doing this, he said to Hancock:

"Invade major websites and TV stations, and then edit and play the footage just recorded by the suit."

"I want everyone in Gotham to know what will happen to those who don't follow the rules."

"Okay, sir!"

Hancock replied immediately.

After taking off the suit bracelet on his right hand and placing it on the table in front of him, Roy used Flash and left the laboratory.

…

the next day.

noon.

Dining room.

While enjoying the lunch carefully prepared by the chef, Roy looked at today's news headlines.

As he expected, his performance of "Laughing Maniacally" undoubtedly dominated today's headlines.

As for the reports related to the Joker and Batman, they have been moved to the back.

Laughing wildly can make today's headlines. On the one hand, it is laughing wildly in the live broadcast room and crushing the guest's head in front of the audience. On the other hand, it is the video edited by Hancock last night.

Although Hancock did not play all the footage of Roy's actions last night, the edited clips are enough to illustrate the problem.

Unlike the Gotham police, all the criminals targeted by Laughter last night were dead without exception.

After the hilarious action scenes were broadcast, one thing became clear to everyone, whether they were good law-abiding citizens or criminal gang members and hoodlums.

That means laughing wildly is not a joke!

After reading the major media reports on the laughter, Roy said to Hancock:

"Send a message to all gangs and underground organizations in the name of laughter, saying I want to see the clown."

"If they can't find the clown before midnight tonight, tomorrow will be their last day."

It's not easy to find a clown hiding somewhere.

However, this does not mean that there is no solution at all.

Whether it's the Gotham police or Bruce, their methods of finding the Joker are a bit too merciful in Roy's opinion.

As the saying goes, there must be brave men under heavy "rewards"!

The best way to find the Joker is to ask all the gangs and underground forces in Gotham to help find him.

The gangs and forces in Gotham's underground world are not very powerful, but it is not very difficult to mobilize them all to find one person.

"Sir, maybe there is no need to notify the gangs and forces in the underground world."

Hancock said quickly.

"Why?"

Roy asked rhetorically.

"The clown is in front of the manor gate now."

Hancock continued.

What?

After hearing Hancock's answer, Roy was stunned for a moment.

"Project the surveillance camera in front of the gate."

"Okay, sir!"

The vibranium bracelet quickly projected a holographic screen, displaying the surveillance in front of the manor's gate.

Looking at the surveillance screen on the holographic screen, Roy frowned slightly.

Is it me?

Green messy long hair, casual clown makeup, and purple suit.

From the appearance, the clown in front of the gate is indeed similar to a certain clown image in Roy's memory.

But now he has no way to confirm whether the clown in front of the gate is the clown himself.

"Open the door and bring him to the living room."

Roy said to Hancock.

"Okay, sir!"

A few minutes later.

The reception room on the first floor.

Roy looked carefully at the clown sitting opposite him.

"Are you the clown?"

Roy said.

"No, I was laughing wildly."

The clown replied seriously.

Forehead……

"Just think that you are really good, what do you want from me?"

Roy continued to ask.

"You wanted to see me, so I came."

The clown said immediately.

This guy?

Although there was no way to tell whether the guy in front of him was the clown from the breath of life, Roy's intuition told him that the guy in front of him was most likely the clown.

"How do you know I just laugh like crazy?"

Although people who are familiar with him will suspect that Laughter is him, the clown is not familiar with him.

"Is that hard to guess?"

"Besides you, there is no other guy who dares to kill people on such a grand scale in Gotham."

The clown said quickly.

"Stop wasting everyone's time. Just tell me, what do you want to do?"

"If your answer is not very satisfactory, you should know how you will end up."

Roy was too lazy to guess what the clown was planning and asked directly.

"You taught Bruce the answer he gave last night, right?"

The clown didn't answer Roy's question, but asked instead.

"So what?"

Roy replied.

"It won't happen."

"I just want to say that the advice you gave him last night was quite boring."

The clown said seriously.

"Boring? I don't think so."

I don't know why, but after chatting with the clown for a few words, Roy found that he no longer had the idea of killing the clown immediately, but began to look forward to continuing the conversation with him.

"It's not just boring, it's downright boring."

"You let him choose nothing. You just want him to take back the initiative, or in other words, disrupt my game so that I can't get satisfaction from it."

"But it's a pity that you, like him, have wrongly guessed my plan."

"I don't care at all what he chooses, and I have no intention of torturing him. I just want to play such a game."

"Whether you win or lose, I don't care."

The clown said calmly.

"If you really don't care, then why did you release the phone recording later?"

Although there is some truth in what the clown said, Roy would not believe what he said so easily.

"Of course it's because it's fun."

"It seems that you, like him, think that I am very interested in him and want to defeat or torture him."

"This idea of yours is too vulgar."

The clown shook his head and said with regret.

"Bad?"

"Then can you tell me a high-level idea?"

Roy asked with a smile.

"If you want to know the answer, you can't ask others. You need to find it yourself."

"Forget it, since your performance last night was quite in line with my taste, I will prove it to you tonight."

The clown said quickly.

"tonight?"

"What are you going to do tonight?"

Roy frowned immediately.

"Don't be so impatient, you will know by tonight."

After saying that, the clown stood up and planned to leave the living room.

Seeing the clown getting up and walking towards the door, Roy thought for a moment, did nothing, and watched the clown leave the living room.

"Sir, do you need me to monitor his next whereabouts?"

Hancock's voice rang out.

"Need not."

"Since he said he would prove it to me tonight, he will take action tonight. There is no need to waste energy monitoring his whereabouts."

Roy said slowly.

"Okay, sir."

Hancock replied immediately.

Want to remind Bruce?

Roy silently thought about this problem.

After thinking for a few minutes, he decided to do nothing.

Although he didn't know what the clown was going to do tonight, he was sure of one thing, that is, he was indeed intrigued by the clown and aroused his curiosity.

…

Time flies.

8pm.

Roy and Selina were enjoying dinner tonight in the restaurant.

At this moment, all major TV stations in Gotham broadcast the same emergency news.

The clown is dead!

And he was killed by Batman in full view of everyone!

When hearing Hancock's report, Roy's first reaction was whether Hancock had a bug.

How is this possible?

The clown just told him at noon today that he wanted to prove to him what advanced ideas are.

As a result, at night, the Joker was killed by Batman.

Putting aside whether the Joker is dead or not, the fact that Batman killed the Joker in full view of the public is very abnormal.

No killing vow!

How could Batman, who had vowed not to kill, kill the Joker in public?

This is not scientific!

Very unscientific!

"What's going on?"

Roy asked quickly.

Hancock did not answer, but projected the emergency news that was being broadcast.

Looking at the urgent news displayed on Hancock's projection, Roy's expression became a little complicated.

The content of the news is very simple, that is, Batman and the Joker had a fight in Wayne Tower.

Then, the Joker was thrown off the Wayne Tower by Batman and died on the spot.

Something's wrong!

Something is very wrong!

Roy's intuition told him that the Joker would never die so easily in the hands of Batman.

However, before he could tell Hancock to contact Bruce, the system's voice sounded in his mind.

"Main mission: fateful showdown!"

"Task content: Remain neutral in the fight between the Joker and Batman, and watch the fateful showdown between the Joker and Batman from the perspective of the audience."

"Mission reward: super vision and heat ray!"

"Task progress: Completed!"

"Task reward has been sent!"

…

this……

Completing the mission is indeed a happy thing, but Roy is not happy at all now.

This was not because he had lost interest in the rewarded super vision and heat rays, but in his judgment, the mission was not completed at all.

Not to mention his role as Laughter last night, he officially started to intervene in the fateful showdown between the Joker and Batman.

He could not complete the task requirement of "spectating" alone.

He wasn't watching at all!

If Hancock hadn't informed him, he wouldn't have known that Batman had killed the Joker.

What happened?

Did I overlook something?

Roy's brain was running wildly.

But no matter what he thought, he couldn't figure out what was going on.

The system will not lie!

Since the system determines that the task has been completed, it means that the guy killed by Batman was indeed the Joker.

Although this is not in line with Batman's long-standing oath not to kill, and from the perspective of mission requirements, he did not complete it well, the system still determined that the mission was completed.

This means that whether he helped evacuate the patients at West Mercy Hospital last night or acted like a maniac and went on a killing spree in Gotham, in the system's judgment, he does not count as intervening in the fateful showdown between the Joker and Batman.

Extrapolating from this result, there is only one reasonable explanation.

That is, his actions last night were all part of the Joker's plan.

In other words, it was all something that the clown expected and did not disrupt any of his plans at all.

Otherwise, there is no reason why the system will determine that the task is completed.

etc!

Roy suddenly thought of a very important question.

It is absolutely impossible for the Joker to know about the existence of the system, which means that the Joker considered that he would intervene in this situation from the beginning.

In other words, the Joker is always in control.

Is this what you want to prove?

Everything is within your plan!

After seeing Roy's expression become a little ugly, Selina immediately asked:

"What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

"It's okay, it's just that the news is a bit beyond my expectations."

Roy replied.

Then, he said to Hancock:

"Contact Bruce for me and tell him that I have something to talk to him about."

"Okay, sir."

Hancock said quickly.

Not long after, Hancock's voice sounded again.
