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

West has been thinking about what the mission given by the haunted house means.

It does not refer to the method of accomplishing the task, but the task itself.

Why is there such a big difference in rewards for copying and killing?Even a fool would know that he had to choose to kill him, right?

But it was just like this, West found it strange.

First, if you choose to kill, West will slaughter the entire Arkham.

The whole Arkham, how could he kill Arkham?

Batman too... oh, Batman can, but Batman won't do it.

So can Superman.

Second, he felt as if it was tempting him to kill everyone in Arkham.

West hadn't killed anyone—of course he hadn't, and the people in Resurrection Town were basically not considered people.

The system has never mentioned the task of letting him kill, so why do you think he can kill?Not only in ability, but also in psychology.

No one is born a killer, West is just a regular guy who hasn't even touched a gun, let alone killed, while going to Resurrection Town.

Third, why Arkham.

West couldn't figure it out, Arkham was Batman's territory, Batman wouldn't kill people, and he didn't allow others to kill people on his territory.

Even Tony and Clark would not agree to West's killing—even if the target was Arkham.

If West insists on killing, then he will definitely break with his superhero employees-unless he uses coercive orders.

Fourth, what does replication mean?

Who can tell West how to copy a living person!

West was even more confused.

The two task methods given by the system seem to be options, but they are actually asking or forcing him to kill everyone in Arkham.

So he came to see the clown, and he wanted the clown to know something—or to make him make up his mind.

The clown is different, even in a place like Gotham where there are so many villains, the clown is different.

Batman once said that he studied the human eye, and the constriction and dilation of the pupils would reveal the human psychology.

The pupils of even the toughest criminals change with emotion.

But only the clown is different, his pupils are always constant, just - looking at you.

West looked at the clown seriously for the first time. After the lunatic finished saying "Are you going to kill me?", he tried to look into the clown's eyes like Bruce did—the dark green couldn't see any emotion. Eye.

"Want to dance with me, V?" The clown sat there with his legs crossed, looking sideways at Vester and said.

Heyman says he's a model prisoner—a statement that would drive an Arkham police officer crazy, but he's been quiet ever since the Joker entered the painted prison.

Heyman wouldn't talk to him, and the clown didn't plan to talk to him either, he just stared at a certain corner quietly, very knowledgeable about current affairs.

Until West came, otherwise he was like a breathing statue.

"I don't think I'll dance with you." After West finished speaking, the clown showed a hint of amusement on his face.

"Have you stayed with the bat for too long, Wei? It's become so boring, we just separated... half an hour? An hour, it doesn't matter." The clown tilted his head to look at him, "It's still you and those weirdos Strange...the superhero stays around for too long?"

He's especially yin and yang when he says the word superhero, which isn't too surprising considering that's how the Joker talks.

But the meaning revealed in his words made West have to think: "You know..."

"Shhhhhhhh, V," said the clown, "don't get to the bottom of it, it's boring."

He suddenly realized something - the clown wanted to be here, this is what he expected.

"Why don't you just kill me, Vi?" Joker said, "Isn't that what you wanted to do?"

West looks at him for ten seconds, no, maybe 30 seconds, his senses are not so sharp in the painting, and then he asks, "Why do you think I would want to kill you?"

"Everyone wants to kill the clown, dear, clowns are so attractive." The clown said indifferently.

He's lying, that's West's first reaction, and then he realizes it's not a lie to the Joker either.

"Where's the bat, dear?" The clown looked behind West, as if he wasn't the one who complained about him staying with the bat for too long, "Oh, oh, I forgot, the cutie must have lied to the little one." Bat came in alone to find me."

West doesn't want to talk nonsense with the clown, the clown is a lunatic, and he doesn't need to listen to what the lunatic says.

He suddenly felt a little stupid, why would he want to come in and look for the clown?What kind of answer can the clown give them?

The Joker is just... crazy, just crazy.

"So, what do you want to say to Uncle Clown, my lovely little doctor?" The Clown continued.

West took a deep breath, thinking it was all coming, he could at least ask the clown if he knew Cain—since it was the vampire who got him out.

In the end, who knew that after he asked this question, the clown burst out laughing—of course the clown likes to laugh, but his smile at this time was completely sincere, and he really felt it was very funny.

"Why do you think I'm connected to some blood-sucking cuties?" The clown spread his hands, "Then why don't I look for little bats? Oh, I forgot that little bats don't suck blood, so those little guys don't help I."

West has learned to get the main point from the clown's confusing words, but there seems to be some difference between this word and what Batman investigated?

Of course, West believes in Batman more than the Joker.

"Of course, they just made some changes for me." The clown added when West was thinking, "Some small changes in Arkham."

"What change?"

"Then I can't tell you, cutie." The clown continued, "That's the romance between me and the little bat."

West sighed, and then the Joker continued, "So what's bothering you?"

He had to turn his head to look at the clown, and the clown kept that very annoying smile: "Honey, you can't lie to me, your face is full of troubles, uncle clown can listen to your troubles, and give a good solution Method."

Even West himself couldn't say why he was bothered, he just had a fight with Tony about how to deal with the Joker, and his brain was basically offline during the whole fight.

Then he ran here under an unknown impulse, to find the clown... to solve his worries?

What kind of magical logic is this.

"Come on, come on, come and complain to uncle clown, let clown help you, uncle clown likes to help others the most, hahahaha." The clown laughed.

"I want to kill you, Jack." The clown's laughter made West's mind swell, he was not afraid of clowns, he was not afraid of clowns before, and he will not be now, so he asked impulsively, "Are you afraid?" ?”

"Why should I be scared? Shhhhh honey, don't ever say you make me feel scared," said the clown. "Do you think I'm afraid? Do you think I'm going to die, honey? No no No, Uncle Clown will not die, not at any time."

But this sentence is wrong, death is fair, no one will not die.

Even death itself.

The clown noticed the disbelief on his face, so he lowered his voice and said in a seductive tone: "Come here, dear, come here."

West hesitated, but finally walked up to the clown.

"You want to kill me, don't you?" The clown leaned closer to his ear: "But why are you hesitating, Wei? Don't you have a decision in your heart?"

Decide?Kill the clown?

He thought, but he hesitated.

He wants to complete the mission, he wants the place of resurrection, the real body of his employees, and even a real haunted house.

He admitted that his purpose was not so clean, he was angry that the clown had killed so many people, but killing the clown was not out of revenge - he didn't need to make excuses for himself, he just wanted to kill the clown.

But the clown deserves to die. How many people died because of his family's ruin, and how many people did he kill?

Whatever the purpose, he's doing the right thing.

His hesitation was not because he was afraid... Just like Heyman and the others said, if the clown made him unhappy, it would be fine to kill him.

He hesitated only because of...the way Tony looked at him.

He couldn't stop thinking about it, not feeling that he had betrayed some kind of trust between them, even though they had just had a fight and Tony had been the first to betray him.

He never really thought about manipulating these superheroes, even though the haunted house gave him absolute control.

But killing the clown will definitely use this right... Tony won't agree, and neither will Clark.

He had to use strong means to keep them.

"You have been manipulated all your life, right? Oh, my poor little one, you have been manipulated since you were a child, and even now, your friends and people you care about are still controlling you." The clown finished speaking Go back to your seat, fold your hands, and say seriously, "Is there anything you want to do? Open a haunted house? No, no, no, Wei, you have never thought about why you open a haunted house, have you? Wei, my West, I have reminded you countless times, why do you suppress yourself? When you are with me, don’t you behave very well? Listen to me and find a way to deal with me, don’t you Need anyone's guidance, don't need anyone's order, you have been doing well. So why can't you think this time? Aren't you brave when you cheat the little bat? What makes you Are you hesitant? Emotion? Responsibility? Wei, you know that the last thing this world needs is these boring things, don’t you?”

Killing him, West jerked his head up, the urge to kill the Joker.

The clown has a clever mouth, which he learned when he was caught by the clown.

But at that time, he never cared, or even heard the clown speak.

Some of the clown's words seem to have that kind of... angry magic power in the haunted house.

He is not afraid of clowns, why should he be afraid of clowns?The Joker just made him angry.

He was right, the clown might not be able to give him an answer, but he could help him make a certain decision.

The kind of decision that killed him.

But the clown seems to want him to make up his mind, why?

"Yessssss, West. Just like this, you have always had potential in you." The clown licked his lower lip, "Unleash your own potential."

"Why...you seem to want me to kill you?" West squinted at him, "What is affecting you? What is affecting me?"

"Nothing's affecting you, Vi." The clown grinned, "It's just you, just you, otherwise why would you come to see me? You just want an excuse."

Hyman and Hall were still waiting outside when West left the painting.

Finding that West wanted to leave, the resentful painter immediately opened the passage and let West leave.

"Do you need me to kill him immediately for you?" Heyman said.

"No, we don't kill the clown, at least not now." West said calmly.

"Why?" Hall exclaimed immediately, "Just a clown."

"Just now." West lowered his head and gently scratched the black cat's chin, "Tony and Clark won't be willing, I don't want to lose them."

Even though Hall itself is not a cat, it still retains certain characteristics of a cat.

It likes to be touched like this, even if he deliberately doesn't show it.

But even if West touched him comfortably, it didn't mean he would be satisfied with West's actions.

"It's just two people, West." Heyman said equally dissatisfied, "What did you talk to the clown? Didn't you say that the clown will help you make up your mind?"

Before West entered the painting, he did not allow Heyman and the others to watch, so neither the artist nor "it" knew what they were talking about.

I don't know what he was talking to.

Is he chatting with the clown?He is talking to the haunted house.

Just now from the clown, West discovered a secret.

Everyone who enters the haunted house is being affected, including the clown.

The Joker doesn't want to die at his hands, he only wants to die at the bat's hands, and the others?Ha, who has the right to kill a clown.

The haunted house will want the clown to die at the hands of West.

But so what?

West shook his head, he would not tell Heyman his decision, perhaps because he himself was contradictory.

He just said very calmly: "You just need to obey me, Hyman."

He looked at Hyman with a calm expression, and just gave an order.

Heyman couldn't contradict him, and neither could Hall, it was the haunted house owner's decision.

"Honey, can you call Clark up for me?" West said to Hall with a smile.

Hall nodded, and jumped out in two or three steps.

At this time, West asked Heyman to leave the painting in his room, and told him not to enter the painting in his room casually in the future unless necessary.

This painting was originally hung by West for the convenience of Heyman, but he doesn't want to use it now.

Heyman agreed, as he said, there was no way for them to refuse any order from the haunted house owner.

At this time, Clark had already come up.

After the quarrel between West and Tony, Clark also wanted to find a chance to talk to West.

He didn't think West had turned bad—there were countless people in the world who would want to kill him when confronted by the Joker, including him and Bruce.

The clown is already very tempting to kill him.

So he understands West, but his understanding does not mean that he will let West do it.

Clark also agrees with what Tony said - once some roads are stepped out, there is no turning back.

West wasn't an executioner, he wasn't even a fighter, so he shouldn't kill, and he shouldn't want to.

Him, Tony, Bruce... what are all the superheroes trying to do all this time?It is to keep ordinary people like West clean forever.

They have been working hard.

So Clark wants to talk to West. He originally planned to wait for both parties to calm down, maybe tomorrow.Who knew that the owner of the haunted house seemed to have figured it out, and now he ran over to look for him suddenly.

This is a good sign, indicating that the owner of the haunted house is willing to talk.

As long as they are willing to talk, the two sides will not suffocate themselves.

In many cases, conflicts are caused by not speaking.

Clark would have a serious talk with him.

"I'm sorry, Clark." Who knows that Clark's words of persuasion have not yet been uttered, and this is the first sentence West said when he saw Clark, "I think I pissed Tony off."

There was a hint of joy on Clark's face: "Rao, you have figured it out."

West nodded obediently: "I don't know why I was at that time, I'm sorry."

He looked very apologetic.

"It's okay, West." Clark reached out and grabbed his hand, "Tony will understand, he knows what you think."

West nodded: "Clark, will you feel disappointed? I killed a whole town before, but now I want to kill the clown..."

The moment West lowered his head in frustration, Clark felt uncomfortable.

West has always been attractive, and that's how Clark feels the first time he sees him.

His eyes—with the temperature of the sun.

Not only Clark, Tony, Stephen... Even Fury and Bruce can feel the magical attraction from him.

It seems that people who are close to him will have affection and subconscious trust in him, even villains like Riddler are no exception.

And Clark—how much he loves the sun, he can feel the warmth that West brings to him.

He died, but the haunted house owner gave him a new start.

Clark likes the haunted house owner.

He held the hand of the owner of the haunted house. When West was caught by the clown, West held him and kissed the back of his hand as a reminder.

So he lowered his head again and kissed the back of West's hand.

"Of course not, of course not." Clark said seriously, "And you didn't kill those people, we all know they died a long time ago."

West didn't evade this time, he looked at Clark, the corner of his mouth curled down: "I'm very happy for Clark, really happy."

Then he said: "Clark, I'm scared, I don't want Bruce to know about this, you know he treats me very well, he trusts me, I don't want...he thinks I have a problem, because you know me and the clown Having been together, he might think that... clowns have polluted me."

"He won't," Clark said immediately.

"Really?" West looked at Clark pitifully.

Clark felt some kind of dizziness, and a thought came to his mind.

won't you?Bruce has always been the most suspicious one, and as companions they can bear it, but West... West is just an ordinary haunted house owner, and Batman's suspicion is a burden to him.

"So can you keep it a secret from Bruce for the time being? I swear I will find a chance to tell Bruce that we caught the clown." West took a deep breath, "I don't dare now, but I will definitely do it at a suitable place." I told him in time, I assure you."

Clark sighed: "You still have to tell Tony that he is very angry with you, you know, he cares about you."

West nodded immediately: "I know, Clark, I promise, immediately! I will go to ask Tony for forgiveness, and I will tell him that I was just being stupid for a while, and I will not kill the clown again."

Clark nodded in relief, but at this moment, he felt something in his head—something invisible got into it.
