Chapter 11 Chapter 11
Years ago, under the operation of Ms. Carter, Bruce Wayne's personal funding for the Damon family was deposited into the card. Few people in the foundation knew about this in order to prevent someone from using means for money and putting the Damon family in danger.
That was a considerable sum of money, enough to change his life and buy a new place to live. The Joker didn't care much about the money, but assigned a loyal subordinate to spend it for him, at least to make sure the bills were done and there were no obvious mistakes. By the way, they moved back to the two-story building, but on the surface procedures and bank statements, it was "renting a house."
The Joker always pays attention to these details, because they allow his game to continue, and he also likes this kind of trickery, fooling everyone, and they always make him laugh -
Who are the actors on stage and who are the audience watching the show?
Everyone thinks that the clown is the ugly one, as you can tell from the fact that he is always laughing. He wants to make everyone laugh, but unfortunately, they are not as sensitive to jokes as he is, and cannot be as humorous as him. They are also timid, disobedient, like to run around, and refuse to cooperate...which makes the clown very dissatisfied.
But it doesn't matter, he has his own unique perspective, sitting alone in the audience watching everyone perform for him. Unfortunately, the show is too long, and the characters in it can easily leave and never appear again. But fortunately, there are regular guests, such as Bat, who is the most dedicated.
The clown is a good audience member. He knows that he cannot demand that the stage only have climaxes and only the protagonist's scenes, as that will bring aesthetic fatigue. In everyone's eyes, he is also a good actor who takes breaks from time to time. Even if the show is not popular, he will definitely wait until he has recovered after a show before performing again.
…
During the New Year holiday, as Arthur, he had made his presence felt enough and there was nothing fun to do, so the Joker took Megan back to Arkham Asylum.
When this young, weak and powerless little girl first appeared in the serious criminal area of the mental hospital, all the mentally ill criminals were excited. The Joker acted like a father to them, and they were completely terrified and disgusted, and at the same time they realized that this was the Joker's property.
She was the Joker's amusement, and no one was allowed to touch her. If anyone touched her, it would be a provocation to the Joker, and would lead to the targeting and revenge of this madman. He made it so clear.
And it just so happened that none of them were stupid and knew what they could do and what they absolutely could not do, so they accepted her existence in silence and watched the clown command his puppet that needed to be wound up around in circles.
The mentally ill criminals here have committed horrific crimes and are extremely dangerous. For the personal safety of other criminals and patients, they are uniformly divided into this highly guarded dangerous area for detention. Logically, the distribution of prison guards and the supervision system should be the most stringent. However, the fact is that most of the time there are only high-risk criminals here, and the supervision system is sometimes effective and sometimes not.
The reason there were no prison guards was that they had been bribed and instigated by criminals to become traitors more than once, either helping criminals escape from prison or destroying the supervision system and causing riots in the prison. They had also attacked the control room more than once, causing even greater unrest. At the same time, countless prison guards were killed in high-risk areas.
Because so many people died, whenever prison guards and staff were recruited, even drug addicts, homeless people, and gamblers who were being chased by loan sharks who were eager for work were afraid of Arkham. Later, the asylum secretly relaxed its supervision of high-risk areas, allowing them a certain degree of freedom of movement.
The Joker's cell was a mess, filled with Batman's gadgets, but they were all his trophies. He enjoyed doing this, just like a collector, but he didn't cherish those things much and just stepped on them casually.
He was leaning over the table, fiddling with his cane, making some modifications and small designs for it, and casually said to the person behind him, "My new toolbox has arrived. Go get it for me."
There is also a hidden secret room in his cell, which was never opened in the past. The Joker only put some of his precious collections and contraband in the prison in it. But now there is a child living in it. She will die if she is locked up in there for a long time. The Joker doesn't want to waste her like this, so the secret door is often opened.
Hearing the order, Megan, wearing thick clothes made from prison uniforms, emerged from the corner. A bat poster was stuck on her head. The Joker turned his head and stared at her for a few seconds, ignoring how ridiculous her image was. He said with a smile, "You know, Megan, the entrance to Channel B4."
You have to know that even though there are members of the Joker Gang among the Arkham guards, sometimes they may not be assigned to patrol here, nor may they be willing to set foot here, so they usually trade things brought in from outside at the entrance of the passage.
The clown smiled at her, his smile appearing terrifying because the corners of his mouth were stretched to a degree that ordinary people could not achieve. "I have taken you there before. You can find the way."
He originally thought so, but then...
He knew Megan well enough, and he might have some impression of the roads she had been to. After all, Megan's condition had improved slightly around him, and he saw it all. But the clown suddenly realized that Megan never paid attention to the outside world, so -
She didn't know which road 'B4 Passage' corresponded to. She had clearly been in Arkham Asylum for a few days. The Joker took her to the cafeteria and communicated with the inmates, and he also asked her to follow him. However, without any instructions, she never looked up at all!
And when will the clown considerately point out to people what is this and what is that? He has a little toy for fun, not a real daughter.
Besides, such a sick child may not be able to read.
The clown's face fell, and he stared at her gloomily for a long time, and finally said, "Follow me."
Megan followed after hearing the command. She was small and walked slowly, and she had no concept of chasing. Once the clown walked faster and lost his sight, she would slowly stop and stay where she was, 'waiting'.
This is the disadvantage of a clockwork wooden doll, but she doesn't make any noise or cry, and has no self-awareness or thinking. On the contrary, she gets some preferential treatment from the clown. After all, he doesn't want children. He just wants such an obedient and interesting thing to protect her before his interest fades.
The clown in prison uniform walked in front, and always stopped to wait for her at the corner, which seemed to reveal his consideration. However, the criminals in the cells passing by all showed meaningful expressions, and their eyes swept past the old acquaintance clown and stayed deeply on Megan.
When passing by Two-Face's cell, he stood in front of the door and watched. He and the other criminals knew exactly what kind of madman the Joker was, and he only paid attention to this 'outsider' who shouldn't be here, but she belonged to the Joker and was brought in by the Joker.
The man, whose half face was young and handsome, and whose other half was disfigured by sulfuric acid and turned scarlet and ugly, smiled unexpectedly. He looked gentle and kind on the intact half, but his tone was not polite at all. "Clown, you broke the rules here."
He was rubbing a coin in his hand behind an iron door weighing dozens of kilograms that could not be opened even by explosion. He was not interested in the clown's purpose and sudden change, but there were some minor conflicts between them, which made him want to toss a coin for the child and see what her ending would be.
The clown turned around in surprise. He loved to put on an act, his ridiculously exaggerated drama that was easy to spot. "Oh! My dear Harvey, do you love my Megan too?"
Harvey Dent, the two-faced man, and other criminally insane people who were his neighbors—
They all saw her.
That's the problem.
If only a crying and frightened child was brought in, she would not attract their attention. After all, everyone knew that as a clown's entertainment, she would not survive for long. But Megan the clown was so different.
Yes, she has problems, which is very easy to see. It is as if she has no self at all. She is indifferent to the outside world and only responds to the clown. She only sees him.
To be honest, this kind of little thing is very rare, and many criminals envy it, but they don't have the ability of a clown, and they can't find another child like this. They all know what other children look like -
He is disobedient, has bad tempers, and has all kinds of bad habits. He is not as worry-free as her, nor does he have a pretty face like her.
Two-Face looked at the Joker's face with an obviously exaggerated fake smile. He was unhappy that his property was being coveted, but what he had done since bringing her in was to make all the serious mentally ill criminals recognize her. He should have realized this earlier.
If toys aren't shared, that leaves only one reason.
He said, "Your daughter is fine."
Megan had been keeping her head down, her eyes empty and lifeless, but when the Joker laughed and said, "Look up, Megan, and smile at your Uncle Harvey," she finally looked up, but her eyes were unfocused and she didn't 'smile'.
Two-Face and the Joker waited patiently for her response for a long time. After a long time, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her gaze first fell on the door, then slowly moved upwards and saw Two-Face's face through the small window.
He didn't choose to scare her at this time. In fact, showing a terrifying expression to a child and frightening her was not something to be praised. Instead, he showed a gentle smile on the half of his face that was intact, which could be called a friendly greeting: "Hello, Megan."
Megan's vision was vague, without any strength or meaning. She was slowly trying to understand the Joker's words. The man in front of her was called 'Harvey', but 'laughing'... She couldn't understand and fell into a deep confusion.
The clown leaned over and covered his chest, looking at his poor sick daughter, he sighed loudly, "She is a good child, you have to be more patient with her." These words were said to the Two-Face Man. She was such a boring person. You could get in touch with her, but remember not to damage her, because that would make him sad.
To be honest, he didn't come here specifically to make Two-Face and Megan know each other. He waved his hand and ignored him, calling Megan, "Don't waste any more time, follow me."
