[Comprehensive British and American] I open a haunted house in the superhero world

"Past." Clark read the word carefully, he closed his eyes, and said again, "Past."

There are countless ways to give a hint, hidden or obvious, why West chose such a word.

But that doesn't mean Clark will give up, he still thinks seriously.

When the clown gave the hint, it was live on full video. At that time, they could see West sitting on a chair with his face covered in the corner—maybe this was the clown’s intention to show them people who wanted to demonstrate , and tell them—

Look, you're just so helpless.

The clown just likes this kind of thing. He likes to give people hope and despair.

In the screen, West has kept a sitting posture with his hands folded, no Morse code typed out by fingers, and no eye cues—all his movements are under the surveillance of the clown, but they all know that Wes Te will definitely try to give them some sort of message.

This information is hidden in his movements, but they have not yet determined what this movement means.

hands folded...

Clark suddenly remembered something.

"Tony!" Clark interrupted Tony, who was watching Bruce's torture and interrogation of Jinbin. When others went to save people, Bruce decided to take the bottom line and deal directly with the clown's hirelings.

"I think I know who West's reminder is for." Clark said eagerly, "He was for me. I kissed the hand he was pressing. This is his reminder to me!"

Tony: "..."

Tony didn't turn off the headset, so Bruce and Dick on the other side heard Clark's words clearly.

Dick was silent for a while: "Although it's not the time, I really want to say wow."

Clark blushed, and suddenly realized that there seemed to be some ambiguity in what he said.

On the other side, West, who was caught by the clown, was still chatting with the clown.

Suddenly being pulled closer to the game by the clown, West felt more at ease. He thought he had thought of all the ways to remind his employees—of course he had to explain that he was not a riddle man, so he was really not good at making riddles. The clown asked him to give He thought for a long time when he gave a reminder.

"Hurry up, dear, this is your own fate after all, so I will give you a chance." The clown looked at West with a smile, and said sweet words in a hoarse voice.

West thought for a long time, and really hated himself for not having a riddle brain, otherwise he could have come up with thousands of suitable hints at once.

The clown doesn't have that much patience, so West has to come up with a suitable prompt that satisfies the clown - it's impossible to give the place name directly, the clown doesn't think it's fun that way.

So at that time, he had a flash of inspiration and thought of Clark.

Clark had something embarrassing about him in the past—although Clark probably didn't quite remember it himself—if that was the case, he would have made a mistake.

But West's memory is still very deep, so that he immediately thought of Clark.

To be honest, West also thought it was a coincidence that the place where the clown took him was opposite the coffee shop where he and Clark met for the first time, so he had to think of Clark.

He prayed silently in his heart, Clark must remember, must remember, if he remembers Navester, he will be saved, if he doesn't remember...

Hehe, then Clark Kent is waiting to go to the polar sea with him to find death.

So he said his prompt carefully, and the Joker's first reaction was: "Huh?"

He looks a little annoyed, perhaps agonizing over why Batman has such an ambiguous connection to so many people.

Thinking that he couldn't explain it anyway, West simply said to the clown: "I have a good relationship with Batman."

To be honest, it's quite interesting to see the angry grievance on the face of the clown.

In this regard, West can only say that you can think whatever you like, anyway, the rest is left to fate.

Afterwards, he relaxed, and even started to talk to the clown leisurely.

The clown is also very interested in his changes, or in other words, he has an inexplicable sense of excitement that he is not afraid of himself, so the two of them get along in a strange harmony—even West also feels the strange harmony of harmony.

He knew that the clown was a lunatic, most of what this lunatic said could not be heard, and he also had a set of messy logic, that logic was chaotic and evil, and he couldn't listen at all.

But the clown spoke very vigorously, and West listened very carefully.

It's just that what West thought in his mind when he heard it was probably different from what the clown expected.

What West thought was "hmm, this logic is really amazing", "Only a madman can understand a madman's speech", "I really can't understand a madman's words, this is very good, it shows that I am mentally normal."

But his expressions are all serious, serious and earnest, and he picked out the understandable words from the clown and gave the other party an appropriate reply - especially the part where the clown talked about bats.

He is still very polite.

"You are so cute, doctor." The clown said with a smile, "If I hadn't agreed on an hour, I wouldn't want you to die."

He persistently called West a doctor and insisted that he was a psychiatrist, which made West wonder if he was regarded as Harley Quinn, and whether the clown expected to change him like a clown.

But this is impossible, of course impossible.

West is different from Harley Quinn, West...

I can't understand what the clown is saying.

West watched the Dark Knight movie seriously before. He liked Heath Ledger as the Joker very much, and it was also because of the Batman movie. He knew the most about Batman out of all the super-miles. Turned into Iron Man, yes, he is pure movie buff.

No one knows the background story of the clown, including Batman. He is like a collection of Gotham's evil thoughts that appeared out of thin air. Such an extreme shaping method also put the clown in the position of a classic villain.

He doesn't need the past, he doesn't need any tragic whitewashing, he just makes trouble and likes to make trouble.

This also gives the clown a different kind of charm and the urge to kill him.

It would be better to kill this kind of person in real life. This was West's original idea, but he later found out that he couldn't beat him.

In the entire haunted house, his strength is even better than Nygma... Oh, no, he can beat Nygma.

So now he can only maintain politeness and listen carefully to the clown babbling about his distorted logic.

"I don't think I will die." West said seriously, and he thought to himself, wondering if he died, would he successfully return to the haunted house like Clark and the others.

Wow, looking at it this way, if he dies, he will really become the owner of the "ghost" house.

The clown tilted his head: "Are you so sure?"

"Not really." West replied, "I just don't think I'll die."

"Oh oh oh, you are sure that you will not die, why?" The clown licked his lips, "Is it because you feel that your life is meaningless?"

Well, here we go again.

These are the completely illogical things that the clown always says, and West doesn't think that what he said can be understood by normal people at all.

He always tries to use a bewitching tone to emphasize that West's life is meaningless, or that most people in this world are meaningless to live, people can't understand the true meaning of the world, and are bound under some boring rules, This is worthless.

To be honest, West feels that his life is still very meaningful. His daily life is quite fulfilling, and opening a haunted house is his greatest pursuit.

He felt that the biggest generational gap between him and the clown was that he was a cashier, while the clown was a jobless bum who knew what—criminals weren't considered a profession.

It's good to be busy with work now, and I don't have so much energy to think about things I don't have in my daily life.

But West never refuted him, he found out that the more you refute him, the more excited he is, so all he said to the clown was "You are right", "You are the opinion leader of the world", The boast of "you are the most sober person in the world" actually didn't take it to heart at all.

So why hasn't Clark come yet?

West sighed and kept listening politely on the surface, but in fact his spirit had already flown away.

As time goes by, Daredevil should have played a role in saving people.

The clown kept receiving news that his bomb had been dismantled, but he was not angry, and the smile on his face deepened instead: "It's only been 5 minutes, and he didn't come to see you, little doctor."

"It's not the last moment yet." West said calmly, he didn't look like the man whose neck would be blown off in five minutes.

"Doctor, doctor, why do you just refuse to admit it." The clown lowered his voice, "You were abandoned."

Before West could speak, the clown suddenly managed to burst out laughing: "It's so funny, the little bat can never choose the one that is important to him."

In the last game with Batman, the Joker used the wrong address to mislead Batman into losing someone important to him.

Although he didn't think he was an important person, he didn't like what the clown said.

"I repeat, it's not the last moment yet." West said again.

While the two of them were talking, the clown stopped suddenly.

The expression on his face began to change, and then an expression of excitement appeared.

And at this moment, an arrow flew past West's neck.

The whole body of the arrow was golden, and the arrow body was flowing with golden light, just hitting the timed bomb on West's neck.

The time bomb was installed by the clown himself, as long as he can't sense West's pulse, he will explode immediately.

But that arrow was too fast, beyond what the naked eye could detect, not even the sensor on the bomb.

In the blink of an eye, the arrow smashed through the wall with the unresponsive bomb and flew into the air.

"Bang—" The bomb that was enough to shatter West's head exploded in mid-air, and no one was injured.

This archer—I'm afraid it's stronger than Hawkeye and Green Arrow.

West has never actually seen Hawkeye and Green Arrow use bows and arrows, but that is within the scope of human understanding, and the speed and power of this arrow have completely surpassed the limits of human beings.

West looked out the window and saw a man holding an ancient golden longbow upstairs facing him.

The power of the gods flowed from the golden longbow.

It's Abel.

The ancient nomadic ancestor with a cat on his shoulder appeared outside the window sill at a speed beyond human comprehension shortly after West looked over.

"Am I late?" Abel glanced at West and smiled at him.

Then West saw Clark, Tony, and Abel and Hall floating in the window, half of his staff came.

At this moment, West still felt very moved.

"You actually figured it out!" West yelled at Clark. He suddenly had a sore nose, and the grievances of being kidnapped by the clown and forced to listen to the other party's babble came out, "You just figured it out!"

He looked at his employees, as if he had found the backbone.

He had never been so wronged before.

"Where's my dear little bat?" Although the bomb on West's neck was resolved, the clown didn't seem to be disappointed. He even looked at everyone with excitement and anticipation. After two seconds, His expression collapsed again, "It's not a little bat."

He didn't know Abel and didn't care.

So he just tilted his head, and said indifferently, "Did you take care of Harry?"

Harley Quinn was guarding the opposite building. Now that several people have arrived here, it means that Harley has been dealt with.

No one answered his question.

The clown, who felt bored, pressed a button, and a burst of purple mist was suddenly sprayed from the window—this was the laughing gas he had arranged long ago.

The poisonous mist immediately entered Abel's respiratory tract.

But Abel didn't seem to feel it, and immediately jumped off the window sill.

He is very similar to Hall, although he has a human form, but to some extent he is just a collection of beliefs.

So the clown's laughing gas is of no use to him.

The clown connected and pressed a few more trap buttons—the clown is really a super criminal, and he is almost full of traps in this small room.

It might be useful for ordinary human heroes, but it is useless for Hall and Abel.

Abel would dodge if he could dodge it, and he would not dodge if he couldn't dodge it.

Anyway, according to God's curse, Abel will only die at the hands of Cain.

Others cannot kill the first human ancestor.

Hall jumped off Abel's shoulder angrily, and said to the clown, "Humans, you pissed me off."

When talking to the cat, the clown wasn't surprised at all, just a little funny.

The clown raised his gun, and at this moment, an invisible bullet hit the clown's chest from the outside.

The pain that goes deep into the soul is far more painful than the physical injury, even a person like the clown who has been paralyzed by pain can feel it.

He was a little surprised, but looked at the location where the pain came from without fear—in the soul world he couldn't see, the man in the red-gold battle armor pointed his palm cannon at the clown.

"Come on!" Tony yelled at Hall!

Hall received Tony's urging, and it was really irritated by the clown. In just a few steps, it burned half of the hair on its body because of the clown's trap-this did not have any real effect on "it". Hurt, but after all, it is particularly embarrassing.

"It" is not a creature with a physical existence, the so-called entity is just a disguise.

It straightened up suddenly, staring at the clown without blinking.

Mental intimidation.

In the next second, before the clown could break free, Abel took out a painting from behind and slammed it over the clown's head.

It's amazing that the clown seems to have melted, and as the painting is pressed down, the person also disappears into the painting.

All this happened in the blink of an eye, and West himself didn't realize it, as if they had planned it many times.

"Okay?" Hall jumped on West's shoulder, and Abel next to him was holding the pirated map of hell—the one that Captain America went to, and Hyman slipped through the painting from time to time.

West glanced at everyone, and then said: "You have come here until now, and you don't know how much mental pollution the clown has caused me!"

Everyone froze for a second, then laughed.

Tony floated down from mid-air, still wearing soul armor—West remembered the way Tony attacked the clown just now, so he asked, "Don't tell me you found a way to attack the soul?"

The soul of the haunted house can only attack the soul, and indeed cannot harm the living.

"It's been modified a little bit." Tony said, as if it was a matter of course for him to modify his armor to be able to attack the souls of living people, but West clearly remembered that Tony's armor could not attack living people before he was kidnapped by the clown Soul, so how many experiments did he do in such a short few days, "If they don't work, I plan to blast the clown to pieces."

West glanced at the map of hell with the clown trapped in Abel's hand, then at Tony, and finally said with emotion: "That clown is really lucky."

His words are sincere.

He looked at everyone, and finally his eyes fell on Clark.

"I didn't expect you to be able to solve it." West said very sincerely.

Clark was going to blush at first, but who knew that West continued in the next sentence: "I thought that if you couldn't solve it, I would drag you to the polar sea together. I can't live, so you don't have to stay in New York gone."

Clark froze.

This "I planned to have a hard time, so you don't have to have a hard time" logic... When did he mess with West?

In fact, he didn’t really offend West, but West didn’t pay attention to the speed of life and death at the time, but now looking back—why did he give such an ambiguous reminder?

And then all of a sudden he's... pissed off.

The moment I saw Clark, I wanted to yell at him inexplicably to cover up my embarrassment.

Clark was able to solve the prompt, and everyone must have known it.

West said with ups and downs in his heart, which means that everyone knows that Clark kissed his hand, including Batman——

Although West insisted that it was just a polite hand kiss, but thinking about it carefully, it was so embarrassing.

He decided to forget about it altogether, changed the subject and said, "Has everyone been saved?"

Tony looked at West with a half-smile - West always felt that he guessed something, but seeing that the unlucky haunted house owner managed to survive, he still replied: "Everyone is fine, and the bat got it." Some interesting news."

The next process becomes much simpler.

Thanks to the fact that the clown didn't directly expose his face when he brought him on TV, so except for those directly involved in the rescue, no one else knew that the owner of the haunted house was also the unlucky ghost.

This avoids a lot of unnecessary onlookers.

By the time West returned to the haunted house, the news that all the hostages had been rescued had already started broadcasting on TV.

Tony patted him on the shoulder: "It's your fault."

Yeah?Perhaps it was because he had just walked on the edge of life and death once, and West didn't feel that deeply. He just did what he should do at that time—and he also won a chance for himself.

After resting for a long time, he calmed down his mood—in fact, West felt that there was nothing to calm down. He was always calm, except when he saw Clark awkwardly.

Half a day later, it is said that the bat who received the good news has also returned, and with him are Nick Fury, Daredevil, and the Avengers who participated in the rescue and completed the follow-up work.

A group of people almost filled the hall of the haunted house, and even the ghosts had no place to stand.

So a few ghosts simply abandoned their bodies and floated in the air with full concentration-but in this way, it was impossible for everyone who had no contract with the haunted house to see them, including Batman.

There's still blood on Bruce's chest—someone else's, of course.

He lowered his head and flipped through the documents in his hand, while others were muttering beside him.

West had been repairing in his room, but he came down after being notified that the city would come.

Seeing West coming, Fury raised his head: "Are you okay?"

As soon as West was rescued, everyone knew that West was fine.

West nodded, indicating that he was in good condition.

Fury stretched his brows: "You are very brave."

West scratched his head, not knowing how to answer.

Bruce had already sorted out the information at this time, looked West up and down, and after confirming that he was fine, he asked, "Where are they?"

He was talking about Tony and the others.

West looked up at the ghosts floating in the sky, and the ghosts shook their heads towards West, expressing that the ground was too crowded and could not do so.

So West lowered his head again: "They think it's too crowded."

Of all the people, only Stephen and Peter have signed a haunted house contract and can see ghosts.

Several other people looked at each other, obviously dissatisfied with this state.

So West had no choice but to let them put on flesh clothes and come down to meet the guests-in fact, only Tony and Clark, the other Hall and Abel had entities, and few of the haunted house employees had no idea about this small meeting. interest.

"Where's the clown?" Bruce asked.

The clown is trapped in the painting, West was going to reply.

But in the blink of an eye, a strong thought suddenly flashed in his head.

So he replied, "The clown is gone and out of our hands."

For a moment, Tony and Clark, who heard his answer, couldn't help but want to look at him, but before they did, a strong sense of restraint forced them to keep quiet and listen to West continue.

"I'm very sorry, everyone." West said, "But the clown ran too fast at that time, and my employees didn't have time to catch him in order to save me."

At that time, all the employees who signed the death contract were present, and the second employee rule must obey all orders of the owner of the haunted house.

This is the first time West has used this right.

He suddenly felt a strong desire to get the clown's soul.

Gotta get it.
