Chapter 231 Chapter 231 [VIP]
Everyone else here also came to congratulate Megan, except Solomon. Of course, they wanted to know who was the key to the establishment of this company.
clown.
This madman who looms over Gotham, tirelessly but aimlessly creating chaos, bloodshed and death, with few people able to match the severity, scope and frequency of his crimes, is an undoubted criminal genius, bringing a shadow not only to the people of Gotham, but also to everyone in Arkham.
No one can tell exactly when the clown appeared. Perhaps one day, an ordinary comedian walked off the stage, leaving behind the noisy and booing audience. Then, a madman named "Clown" appeared in the world. He walked onto another more popular and eye-catching stage, and everyone passively became his audience.
The world burst into louder and more lively cheers at his command. More and more criminals were attracted by him and stepped out from the dark onto the stage, just like the "criminal stars" in Gotham's Arkham Asylum. The Joker existed since their debut.
He is the most obvious benchmark in the eyes of criminals, and his existence also tells others:
Look, the cost of crime is so low, the will of the people is irrelevant, and what is the deeper secret? Crime can also become a business, right?
From then on, crime became a tool for certain people to gain benefits, and the conspiracy was manipulated. Even if there were beneficiaries and instigators on the surface, the group of people who truly benefited and did not bear the stigma hid in the night like owls and were never discovered.
The Joker and other criminals seem to be covering for these people, but aren't their actions behind the scenes actually feeding the criminals? Because as long as the business continues, the crime will never stop. And if the criminals are severely punished, then it will affect their business.
Even if the other people in Arkham didn't know these secrets, they could see the Joker's recklessness. As long as he wasn't dead, the other criminals wouldn't deliberately restrain themselves. What they did was to set up the Joker as a shield and target for the front-
What 'source of evil'? Is he the sole culprit? Was there no crime in Gotham before he showed up? That's the most impossible scenario.
But even though this company was established with his permission, why could he do that? Was it just for the sake of his child, who he kidnapped from somewhere? Because she was kind and honest, and didn't look like she would go down the same path of crime as the Joker, so the Joker arranged a company for her?
In the eyes of everyone in Arkham, the Joker is a crazy but absolutely rational guy. His methods of committing crimes are cruel and bloody, and as his fellow inmates, everyone present is familiar with his usual style.
But why would he compromise for a kid like Megan? Was it because of their ridiculous father-daughter relationship? Or was it because the Joker had ulterior motives?
Scarecrow had always found this father and daughter pair very interesting. He had tried to study the Joker, but like many psychiatrists throughout Arkham, he felt inexplicably uncomfortable during the research process...
The more you analyze his thoughts and psychology, the more terrifying, confusing, and disgusting it becomes, but it has an extremely strange attraction. If you are not determined enough, you will easily be brainwashed by the clown and become his fan, completely controlled by him. The Scarecrow could not stand the disgusting feeling and quit the research.
However, he also understood the Joker better than anyone else, knowing what kind of devil was hidden under his skin. Yet, he raised an autistic child? And raised her to adulthood?
Originally, he'd been curious only about Megan's illness and how the Joker had cured her. But now that he'd discovered the Joker had even set up a company for Megan, he felt the family drama between them would continue for a long time to come. But what had led to this? What were their respective psychological journeys? It truly intrigued him, but he'd learned to hold it in.
The scarecrow's face was still gloomy, and he only lowered his eyes slightly to look at Megan with interest, "I gave you some pocket money, but you didn't say anything?" Isn't it bad to be so stingy?
Meghan's response was a dry, "Oh, thank you, Jonathan."
She said this halfheartedly, clearly trying to appease Scarecrow. He still wanted to pursue her, hoping to talk to Megan more, perhaps to find some clues or signs. But who didn't know what he was thinking? He had made Megan cry before, and had suffered revenge from the Joker several times, but he still refused to give up.
Such persistence is so touching, but who here would allow him to do this?
Poison Ivy didn't react much, she knew there were a lot of thugs here. When Scarecrow wanted to say something, Killer Croc's oppressive and cold vertical pupils moved to his head again, and he could not be ignored at all.
Noticing the unfriendly gaze of the crocodile monster next to him, the scarecrow was the first to react this time. He thought rationally, very good, he was probably the only one who still retained his rationality, and the others were all loyal fans of this little succubus. Thinking of this, he felt calm and composed, and even had a subtle sense of pride.
"Okay, my turn is over. Who's next?" He spoke as if it were a turn-based game, or perhaps because there was only one king, so they needed to take turns to meet him.
The Scarecrow stopped focusing on his own problems and turned to look at the interaction between them.
Killer Croc gave Megan a key, which was good, either a safe house or a treasure trove. This crocodile monster was not stingy, and although he lived in the sewers, he actually had a gang, and it was well run, and he was also quite wealthy.
Bane, the big guy, gave Megan a white teddy bear, which made sense because he had childhood trauma and might have empathized with Megan in some way. In Scarecrow's eyes, he was just a boy who hadn't grown up. Even though he had grown physically, he was still immersed in his childhood fantasies, wanting to conquer Gotham, just like "I want to be president";
However, according to the Scarecrow's guess, Bane would definitely give more than just a doll. You know, they are good friends, and Bane is a very arrogant guy, so he would definitely not give a perfunctory gift.
Solomon gave him wild flowers he had picked in the swamp, which made Poison Ivy unhappy. She saw that the roots of the plants were still attached, so she brushed her hands over them, and the lifeless branches, leaves and petals all stretched out and stood up.
Then it was Mr. Freeze's turn. He handed the gun directly to Megan, watched her fiddle with it, and didn't say anything to stop her.
Megan pointed the gun at the scarecrow, but he knew that this thing must not be a threat, otherwise Mr. Freeze would not have given it to Megan. After all, if he wanted to give a gift to this child, he had to consider whether she would accidentally hurt him. So he crossed his arms calmly and said, "Come on, shoot me--"
A false smile appeared on his face, and then the bubbles sprayed from the muzzle washed his face. Only then did Mr. Freeze slowly add: "There is fluorescent agent in the bubble liquid."
This is really great.
But there is also Poison Ivy. Scarecrow suppressed his anger and while tidying himself up, he heard her say: "My gift for you is in Arkham, Megan. You will see it when you go back next time."
"And the gift that Penguin asked me to deliver."
Scarecrow: "Why doesn't Mr. Cobert come himself?" Once there is a comparison, it seems that these people are rushing to do something, especially since they are not targeting the clown, but the dwarf in front of him.
He always couldn't help saying some disgusting and uncomfortable words. He knew it himself, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He had to bear the consequences of his weird words himself, so what was the problem?
Jonathan smiled and said to Megan, "He must think your little trick..."
"My God, it's just like playing house. Only some bored people who like to coax children come to watch and give you some support so that no child will cry in the middle of the night. But you don't really think your little workshop can be opened?"
Megan didn't respond to his words, but Jason was unhappy. He looked angry and held a grudge in his heart.
Poison Ivy watched the farce in front of her. Scarecrow, an adult, was picking on a child. She said, "Penguin said he didn't want to socialize with some unpresentable people."
So, may I ask, how many unpresentable guys are there here?
Maybe he just shot everyone, of course, except Megan and her children. People like them could not appear in public openly. Once their true faces were exposed, it would only cause panic, and then Megan's long-awaited opening ribbon-cutting ceremony would be ruined.
So these people either came secretly in the middle of the night or disguised themselves, but even so, they knew the differences between Megan and the Joker's ideas, and knew that this company must have come from Megan's idea, so they came to congratulate her.
Poison Ivy smiled and squatted down. She held Megan's cheeks and kissed her forehead gently. Megan was already used to being close to her and snuggled in her arms.
"Only incompetent people bark. Megan, you are a great kid and we are all proud of you."
How much she loves this child. Even though so much time has passed, she still remembers what she looked like before. She walked out of the desolate and dead world and transformed into the lively, lively and playful child she is now. She is always delicate and even when she was sick and not well, you can tell that someone must have carefully raised her, and Megan is now being raised even better.
Love flowed from the red-haired woman's eyes. Emotions could not be measured, but Poison Ivy must love her more than the other Arkham people around her. She stroked Megan's hair and asked, "Do you want to know what gift the Penguin gave you?"
Megan raised her head and said excitedly, "Yes!" She likes gifts, and she likes her friends even more. Gifts from her friends make her very curious.
"He gave you a bank card and asked me to bring it to you, along with some toy blueprints, but he chose not to give them to you personally. They should have been in your mailbox by now."
Scarecrow: "What's wrong with him?"
Poison Ivy ignored him and continued, "And there's the Riddler. He guessed something and said if you want to learn how to manage a company, you can ask him. He can also teach you other professional skills."
Why is the Riddler placed last? Because Megan and he are not good friends yet, but the Riddler undoubtedly has a smart brain. Moreover, the last time he escaped from prison, he found that the construction team he usually used was hired by someone else. It was easy for him to follow the clues and find them.
