Chapter 47 Chapter 47 [VIP]
Megan held Killer Croc's sharp claw in one hand and waved a small wrench in the other, walking in the corridor of Arkham, inspecting this place she had not been away for long.
She still couldn't quite recognize time, because she had spent the most time immersed in her own world in the past. In that situation, she didn't think about anything, and time passed by quickly, running away like a white horse passing by, and she couldn't even catch the tail of time. Even after her consciousness was stimulated and she regained consciousness, she still stayed in the same place and didn't move with time.
The short child looked up at the tightly sealed ceiling and looked around in the corridor, as if everything was new to her. She should be very familiar with this place, but in her eyes, everything was still new.
I was waving the small socket wrench, and suddenly it flew out of my hand.
Killer Croc originally wanted to catch it, but thought that Megan might need to observe the changes in the outside world more, so he stopped where he was following Megan's steps, watching her hand grasping the empty wrench. When the wrench fell to the ground with a loud enough sound, she tilted her head.
The heavy long strip flew out and fell to the ground. The sound was different from the sound she made when she tapped it gently. Megan let go of Killer Croc's hand, went to pick it up, and then wanted to throw it away again.
But a large hand suddenly fell from above her head, pushing her head down. Although the action was not polite, it was not very forceful either.
For an adult, he has already restrained himself, but he didn't expect the child to be so timid.
Megan's head dropped for a moment, and after a long while she looked up, seeing a handsome but gloomy face. He noticed her gaze, looked down at her, with an obvious fake smile on his face, and said, "Look who this is?"
"Our most popular little star in Arkham. How come your dear daddy is willing to bring you back?"
Scarecrow sneered, but with a hint of inquiry in his eyes. He was a little skeptical about how easily Batman had captured the Joker. After all, he had worked with the Joker before and knew his methods. The madman wouldn't stop until he caused some major trouble, but he hadn't heard any news yet...
He glanced over and saw Megan ignoring him, holding the wrench in her hand and trying to throw it away, so he took it and put it in his pocket. Before Killer Croc could make a move, he raised his hands and took a few steps back, saying with a smile: "Don't get excited, Crocodile."
"I was just joking with Megan," he said fearlessly under Killer Croc's gloomy gaze.
This rude and reckless big guy was here, very confident in his own martial arts skills. The Scarecrow also believed that he was no match for him. A pinch from his claws would draw blood, so he didn't want to do anything tricky. He just approached Megan again and picked up the dazed child from the ground after his "toy" was taken away.
His posture of holding a child was unfamiliar. After all, he had never been so tender in the past. Oh my God——
Scarecrow once again realized how the little girl that the Joker brought into Arkham had changed them and made these cold-blooded criminals treat her kindly. Look at the people she captured.
The first one to be affected is the clown!
He was puzzled. He held Megan and looked around, then asked in confusion, "I don't believe it... Does this child really not have succubus blood?"
"I mean, she could be a demon, a devil, or some hellish creature. Otherwise, how could she have survived in Arkham for so long under her father's supervision?"
The Joker is the source of evil, so she should at least be a child of evil? Otherwise, any other kid would have died here long ago, their bodies vanishing. How on earth did she get along so well with them?
Of course, Scarecrow would not go so far as to guess that Megan was an angel. This word was a bit hot to the mouth, especially when it was associated with the clown, which was enough to cause serious psychological and mental harm. He was not crazy enough to do that.
Killer Croc's vertical pupils stared at him. Scarecrow didn't use his 'little invention' on the child, and it seemed that he was the one captured by her as he said. Of course, it was more likely that Scarecrow didn't want to confront the Joker, him and Poison Ivy at the same time. This was completely unnecessary and was really courting death.
Those who can stay in Arkham for a long time are all smart people. Scarecrow doesn't like to use his brain, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have one. He just focuses all his attention on his own poison and conspiracy, and doesn't care much about interpersonal relationships in general.
But he knew who he couldn't offend.
Now he's asking a kid like Megan to step on his head! Look at her backers and her connections; not many people can do that. She even managed to survive under the Joker for almost two years, which is an even more remarkable achievement.
This prompted the Scarecrow to look the child up and down, trying to find the attraction in her. What magic made Arkham, a mental hospital full of mentally ill criminals, become so warm?
He turned the child over in his arms, and even though she was dizzy, the Scarecrow didn't notice anything wrong.
But seeing that Megan had fainted, he directly handed her to Killer Croc, then stood aside with his arms crossed. After all, he didn't want to coax a child, and he didn't feel the slightest bit of guilt for his trouble. He asked Killer Croc, "Little Megan just came back, right? Where are you going?"
It's a pity that Killer Croc and the still dizzy Megan ignored him and watched the crocodile monster walk past him. Scarecrow didn't think he was hated, but it was just that they, a monster and an autistic child, were too taciturn, so he followed leisurely.
They followed them to visit Megan's two "old friends", Solomon Grundy and Clayface, two monsters who were imprisoned in special cells and who were generally ignored by both the prison guards and them.
An old zombie and a mud monster, both of them have no brains, and only Megan, a child with the same lack of brains, can play with them.
Scarecrow thought this was normal, but he obviously forgot how these two monsters caused panic among the citizens outside Arkham. There was no child who was not afraid of their terrifying appearance.
Maybe his brain was also affected by the 'succubus' and he had already lost his rationality.
If you choose the more popular one between the two monsters, it must be Solomon Grundy. After all, when Clayface went crazy because of someone provoking him, most people in Arkham have been chased by him.
Once Mud Face goes crazy, he can't distinguish between friend or foe and will smash anything in sight. As for fragile creatures like humans, those who don't run fast enough or have less luck will be smashed into a pool of mud by the "hammer hand" he transforms into.
The meat paste is also mud. This is hell.
As smart people who do not rely on force to win, Scarecrow and many high-IQ criminals do not like these monsters. Compared with Clayface, Solomon Grundy is better. Although he is a monster with physical strength that can compete with Superman and can go crazy when stimulated, his physique will not change as drastically as Clayface, causing greater and more crazy damage.
...Solomon might be easier to coax and can be deceived in times of crisis.
While Scarecrow was complaining, Megan was picked up by Killer Croc, and her small hands fell on Solomon Grundy's cell door, and then she fearlessly stretched one arm through the window.
Looking in through the narrow window, all she could see was darkness, but Megan reached her hand in and waved it. After a while, she leaned against the cell door and took her hand out, surprisingly holding a piece of dry weeds.
The Scarecrow thought that it was torn from Solomon's tattered clothes. He fell into deep thought, wondering whether Megan was very strong, or whether her friend was really so good-tempered that he insisted on giving her a gift even though there was no gift at all.
He stood by and sneered but said nothing. He was aware that his words were not pleasant to the ears, and he did not want to offend the three monsters present by opening his mouth.
By the way, the other monster seemed to have sensed the arrival of his friend, and could no longer contain his eagerness. Mud and sand were surging between his cell door and windows, but because of the special material on the door or some other means designed for him, his clay could not flow out too much.
Megan had already greeted Solomon, put the dry weeds in her pocket, and knocked on the prison door with the wrench that Killer Croc had taken from Scarecrow. A crisp sound was made, and soon a huge and stiff face appeared behind the window. His skin and hair were pale, and his face was expressionless. His dull eyes fell on Megan.
"Mei, Megan..." he called out.
When Megan met his gaze, she opened her mouth and slowly uttered, "Mon."
She should have recognized the name Solomon Grundy on the door and knew how to pronounce it, but she could only pronounce the single sound 'Mon'.
When Solomon heard her voice, he became excited for some reason and started hammering the door with his powerful fists. The door of the cell that was theoretically and practically trapping him was now bulged out by a few punches. Killer Croc and Scarecrow couldn't help but take a few steps back at the terrifying noise.
Only Megan was still leaning over there, but Killer Croc stopped them from making contact. Instead, Scarecrow spoke first. He asked in disbelief, "Can anyone tell me? Did our little friend Megan just make a sound?"
He even asks Killer Croc for advice.
As a former psychology professor, Scarecrow was extremely shocked and confused at this moment. His expression was distorted, and in the end he just laughed out of anger.
But the question he was focused on was, "The clown? The madman? He cured a child of autism?"
Where did this matter become magical, or was it full of magic from the beginning? If the Joker had this ability, he might as well go out and give lectures at Wayne's Special Children's Care Fund. He believed that Wayne would definitely put aside their past grudges and spend a lot of money to hire him, and even if Wayne was unwilling, there would be many wealthy businessmen who would come to hire him.
No one answered his question, so Megan didn't understand his doubt.
As for Killer Croc... In the past, apart from studying, he hardly communicated with Megan, because she was very quiet from the beginning, and later she learned to make a "woo" sound, but only on rare occasions. When he saw Megan more than ten minutes ago, he didn't know that she could already speak.
Poison Ivy, the only one who knew about the situation before, had a bad relationship with all the criminals in Arkham. She didn't like them and only cooperated with others in the past to achieve her goals. Even though she was out more often now because of Megan, when she met Killer Croc, she would not tell him the whole story about the child. Of course, she might just want to watch the show.
The scene now is indeed quite dramatic.
Scarecrow and Killer Croc looked at each other, with Clayface's persistent voice still playing in the background.
The author has something to say:
So happy.
