Chapter 61 Chapter 61 [VIP]

Get rid of the Scarecrow. No matter how unwilling he is, it cannot change the fact that he will be controlled by the clown.

The Joker prepared to issue orders to this tool he had brought to his doorstep, but to maximize Scarecrow's usefulness, he could only perform his duties outside of Arkham Asylum. Under the influence of the poison, he would complete his mission well. As for how long the poison could circulate in the blood before its concentration was diluted and its control was lifted...

That's the benefit of a unique formula! The Joker's poison was developed and used long ago, but to this day, are there any serums or antidotes that can counter it?

--No!

He has tested this poison hundreds and thousands of times, with countless kind and unfortunate test subjects providing him with accurate data, and the Joker is still playing a game with Batman, constantly optimizing and upgrading it. It has long been his powerful weapon that has been made public but has no solution. It can be used on anyone and there is no antibody to it.

The Joker was working on his plans at his desk. By the time he finished all these things, it was already past eleven o'clock. He still had a lot of things to do. After all, the Scarecrow was still lying on the floor of his cell. He had to get him out of Arkham, and the rest of the arrangements had to begin.

But before he dealt with the scarecrow, he went into the darkroom to take a look at Megan. This spoiled child must be scared, right?

He pushed open the darkroom door with very light force, making only a slight sound. However, Megan was bathed in the light of the night lamp by the bed and raised her head immediately. It was obvious that she was a little sleepy between her young eyebrows, but she couldn't sleep.

Knowing it was late, Meghan whispered, "Dad,"

As she sat up, the clown saw that the stuffed bear was still in her arms. She attached too much importance to this new toy, and anyone could see the problem, but the clown knew about her past and didn't care about these little things.

The Joker's brows were thick with thought. Scarecrow had already dared to challenge him during the day, so what about the others in Arkham? Perhaps they also saw Megan as a breakthrough point, believing that she was his biggest flaw and weakness. If they could restrain Megan, or even control her, they could indirectly influence the Joker!

So when is it...

Did he become a good father who was worried and concerned about his daughter?

As one of the protagonists, the Joker is incredibly clear about this issue, but does he care about the consequences? The Joker is unscrupulous and has complete control over this child, but Megan isn't ready to be consumed by him yet, and he has the patience to wait. However, some people can't hold back, but it doesn't matter; he will demand a price from them.

The clown is the best debt collector. The smile on his face became deeper. He slowly approached Megan and put his hand on her fluffy head, just like kneading some insignificant little thing, and Megan raised her head and rubbed his palm.

He asked, "Is there something on your mind, Megan?"

The man, still wearing leather gloves, gently touched her cheek. Megan felt a chill and her eyes widened a little. She was thinking about the problem and saw the yellow and red injured area on her knee. Her emotions came quickly.

She was only ten years old, and her development was slower than that of other children of the same age. From the initial numb, hollow, and skinny state, she has now become full of life, with flesh on her cheeks, and looks healthier. She can even speak and express herself. This took him nearly two years, and all his efforts were reflected in her.

When the emotions surged up, her eyebrows drooped suddenly. The feelings of shock, fear and grievance were unfamiliar. Megan subconsciously touched her cheeks. No water had flowed down yet, but her eyes were hot, making her voice muffled.

"Jonathan, bad." She hugged the bear tighter.

However, the clown looked at her with a rather strange look. Before she regained consciousness, hadn't she seen chaos, bloodshed, and death? Of course she had, and quite a lot!

But ever since she was pushed off the bungee jumping tower, her daily life has been mostly ordinary, with almost no twists and turns, and she has never seen his cruel and bloody side.

The Joker gave her a peaceful life, but also raised her to be abnormally weak. Lifting Megan's chin, he saw her aggrieved look on her face. She used to be a waste with a poor brain and poor physical fitness, and it's almost the same now. He wanted to train her to be a killer, or let her do something. This is the craziest fantasy!

Well, he just couldn't do anything about this weak loser. A cold look flashed across his face as the clown casually offered comfort and responded with a smile, "Yeah, that's a really bad guy who is unforgivable. Dad will help you teach him a lesson."

She just likes to hear this kind of words. The clown who knows Megan's psychology well can soothe her wounded heart and calm her emotions with just a few words.

The child, who could be easily coaxed, held his hand and slowly responded, "Hmm..."

Before the clown left, Megan remembered another thing, "Dad,"

He was used to it. "You say." He didn't even show any extra expression. Anyway, she never changed her ways.

"Bane said, Jonathan, Scarecrow? Fear Crow and Batman..." Before she could finish her words, the Joker pinched her cheek. She didn't understand why, and the Joker suddenly laughed.

The crazy nature in him was aroused, and he burst into a sharp and weird laugh, so much so that Megan could feel the vibration transmitted by him, but what was so funny about it?

The Joker leaned in to examine Megan's face. The question was, what kind of magic did she have that had transformed so many people in Arkham, even Bane...

His pale face revealed an extremely obvious curiosity. He asked, "What else? What else did he say to you?"

Megan: "There's also Penguin, Black Mask, Two-Face, Killer Croc, Poison Ivy, Riddler, Mad Hatter, Zsasz..."

Bane told her the weaknesses of the criminals in Arkham's high-risk zone, hoping that she would remember them. Perhaps she could use this knowledge at some point, or when she was familiar with their dangers and weaknesses, she would be able to live a better life here. This was enough to show his sincerity towards Megan. This was his most precious gift besides the teddy bear.

Megan still didn't understand what they meant, but the Joker? He could easily see the truth and had a better understanding of Megan's popularity, but he was still laughing and continued to ask, "What about me?"

He was genuinely curious about what Bain would say to Megan about him. What were his weaknesses? Would he tell her to be careful of him? Would he make her wary of him or try to please him?

But the child shook her head and looked up at the clown. Maybe she was smiling. Even though her expression was subtle, her eyes expressed dependence and happiness without reservation. "Daddy, love."

…

Scarecrow disappeared in Arkham, and many mentally ill criminals knew about the commotion that day.

They knew the Joker's temperament well. This super criminal who emerged not long after Batman appeared was crazy, cruel, keen on creating chaos, bringing bloodshed and death to the world, and committing countless horrific crimes. But unfortunately, he was crazy -

The madman is exempted in the sinful city of Gotham, repeating the process of being imprisoned, escaping, committing crimes, being caught, escaping again and committing crimes. It is like a Möbius strip, and the chase between him and Batman will never end. Of course, many mentally ill criminals are like this, but only the Joker, only his deterrent power is increasing day by day.

The Joker has always prided himself on being the hero of laughter. He's appeared on the big screen, spoken to the people of Gotham on the radio, and even directed a movie! He's carved his hideous face into the minds of many people, and even in Arkham, he's the one who can't be offended.

And as for the child he picked up and raised in Arkham? As Scarecrow said, they all knew she was the Joker's joke, but was the Joker so generous as to let them have some fun?

He is a stingy guy. Sometimes when he catches Batman, he won't share him with them. Even if Megan is kept in Arkham by him, only a fool would target her.

Since the Scarecrow has this courage, he must bear the corresponding consequences.

The criminals in Arkham have been waiting for news from the outside since they learned that he disappeared. After all, it is impossible for Scarecrow to get out of Arkham by himself. He can only be the Joker's backup. He has been entrenched in this prison for several years and must know a lot of secrets and secret passages, but how he will deal with Scarecrow is what they want to know.

...a lesson learned from the past.

The Joker was not interested in their ideas at all. He himself did not leave Arkham and still looked the same, staying in his cell every day and rarely communicating with other criminals. Perhaps he had detailed arrangements for the outside world and did not need to go there in person.

These undercurrents had nothing to do with Megan. It was just that she had lost a teacher and was a little bored. The Joker didn't want to be bothered by her every day, so he threw her out of the cell. He was not worried that anyone else would treat her as rudely as the Scarecrow.

Megan thinks Scarecrow is bad, but Bain is good, so she goes to see him every day.

Bain, whose meditation and reading time were interrupted, was not impatient. Instead, he took Megan to exercise and said to her, "You need to exercise. It will strengthen your body, make you less likely to get sick, and make you more flexible and run faster."

Young children don't know the importance of exercise, so he taught them, "If your body is flexible, you won't fall. If you run fast enough, you can reduce the possibility of injury. If you have strength and skills, you can even fight back against bad guys."

He understood the psychology of a child, and his last words to her were: "Less injuries, and your father will worry less."

Megan understood what he meant very well, but Bain couldn't give her high-intensity training. In fact, her physical foundation was very poor. Because she was young, her bones had not yet grown. At most, he could let her do some basic aerobic exercises and teach her how to run, stretch and relieve stress.

There is also meditation.

They sat cross-legged side by side, and Bain asked her to close her eyes. "The mind and spirit are extensions of the soul. When you close your eyes, you also spread a net in your soul."

"You will reel in your catch and look back at what you have caught. There is a trace of you in them."

Megan fell ill, and her soul was silent for a long time. But meditation is different from silence. She has walked out of the dry and dead silence and into the outside world. Meditation at this time allows her to settle down and stabilize her mind until she gains the power of the soul itself.

Bain also took her to read books. Books are the embodiment of knowledge, wisdom and thoughts. The nutrients in them can help her grow better. Fortunately, Megan was able to sit still and started with simple fables. She didn't change books quickly because Bain still had to explain them to her.

Killer Croc also learned about Megan being chased by Scarecrow and falling, so after finishing their lessons and homework, they also jogged on the lawn.

Megan followed Killer Croc, chasing his slowly swinging tail.

That afternoon, around four or five o'clock, Megan was going back to the Joker's cell. Before leaving, she saw Killer Croc standing next to a low building next to the lawn. Someone was standing upstairs pouring water on him, as if there was water in his cell. He preferred a humid environment, and even the place he usually stayed outside Arkham was the sewer.

It was just that because he had to teach Megan a lesson, he stepped out of the cell and sometimes needed to replenish his water.

I’m typing very fast today!

I'm about to start speeding up time and try to add another update tonight. By the end of the year (in the article), little Jason will finally make his debut.
