Schizophrenia

The nights in Gotham are a bit darker than other cities, and the dark world contrasts with the bright lights of the metropolis across the river.As usual, there are bat lights hanging in the sky of the old town, and the flashing black shadows from time to time add a little uneasiness to the hearts of the people who are in a hurry.

The criminals in Gotham have not been having a good time in recent days, and the temper of the Gotham Dark Knight is a bit grumpy.In just a few days, not to mention famous people like Penguin Riddler who were beaten to death and entered Arkham, even small gangsters who were just petty theft were sent to the hospital.

For the time being, the only active one left is the clown who accidentally lost his little follower Harley.

"Ah, Mr. Magician, you are finally here. I'm almost bored to death..." When Jacob entered the secret room with the mask on, he heard the cheerful voice of little Robin, "Can you get me something fun? Come out? Although the TV is very interesting, it's still too boring." He knocked on the metal cage.

Jacob glanced at Robin who was locked in a tightly sealed cage in the middle of the hollow.It's been three days since he snatched Robin out of the fire that day and stripped him of all his toys and locked them in his place.But I didn't see this guy who was deeply trapped in the enemy's camp lose his vigor: "Wait until I am satisfied."

"No way, then I'm going to be imprisoned for the rest of my life!" Robin said in a frustrated voice, "Don't make such a fuss that my public identity is canceled, I'm still studying, in case my homework is delayed What to do, oh my god, I suddenly remembered that I have a class test next week ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..."

【He sees that you have no ill intentions towards him. 】If you can laugh, Sis chooses to laugh for 3 minutes.

Jacob was not surprised that Robin could see his goal. Who made him think of something he shouldn't have thought that day, not only took Robin out of the sea of ​​fire, but also treated his wound in friendship.In the past few days, because I couldn't stand the other party's thoughts, the friendship provided various TV programs and companionship when I was free.

【You're just envious," Sis pointed out Jacob's heart directly, 【You want to find someone to accompany you. 】

"Do you know why I'm holding you back?" Jacob turned the seat back to the row of computers behind him, slid forward and looked at Robin on the edge of the pothole, "Because I haven't seen it yet and I want to see it." s things."

"But I don't want to show expressions like 'despair', 'anger of being abandoned', 'cynical hatred'." Robin sat cross-legged in the middle of the cage with bandages on his body and looked up at Jacob, "You Look, Batman fights crime to avenge me, and you don't want to kill me from the beginning to the end, you just want me to be like you, my life is not in danger at all, and I'm actually having a good time recently!" Said, Pointing to the various takeaway boxes stacked not far away.

[Hahaha,] Sis laughed dryly, [I just said you shouldn't be responsive to him. 】

"And I'm serious," Robin looked at Jacob, "Thank you so much for saving your life."

"It shouldn't be like this, you should hate me." Jacob essentially didn't know how to deal with something beyond his expectations.He used to have a smooth life, and later, both Hugo and the League of Assassins used him more behind the scenes. He was able to make accurate predictions about the darkness of human nature, but he never thought that there were other kinds.

"I hated you at first, but I thought you were very pitiful!" Robin nodded, "Look, it's been three days, and you only disappeared by my side for four hours, 27 minutes and six seconds in total. ’” Pointing to the watch on the wall Jacob was trying to make Robin even more out of control by knowing the time.

"Look, I'm poor, but Batman is avenging me, Batgirl is looking for me, and even Commissioner Gordon asked me where I was. But in these 72 hours, you haven't answered a single personal phone call, He didn't reply to a single message, and he responded to my needs from the beginning to the end." Robin secretly thanked the pervert in front of him for monitoring Batman's entire process, he didn't expect the magician to be so proficient in electronic facilities.

"You are rich, maybe very powerful. You are very capable, and I even admire you for playing him in the applause. But there is one thing you are very pitiful, and this is why you envy me." Robin Looking at the magician in the little suit, "Look, no one cares about you, do they?"

Robin is not Batman, not a master of psychology, but it is easy for Robin to discover this thing carefully: "Batman said that the Joker is his dark side. And I think the reason why you keep me is because you want to Let me be you, and be by your side with you."

[Very clever boy, he guessed half of your thoughts correctly. ] Sis directly pierced the last layer of paper in Jacob's heart.From the moment Jacob appeared in the warehouse, Sis was sensitive to notice that Jacob thought of himself who was once in Hugo's hands, and who had become deformed since then.

"But, I don't want to be you." Robin scratched his hair, "And I don't quite understand what you're struggling with."

"Well, it's just an adult's dirty idea." Jacob stood up and jumped off the high platform, slowly walked to the cage and sat down, "I always thought that children admired and wanted to become adults one day. But no Knowing that adults envy them and want to go back to childhood. What a strange thing..."

Robin watched the magician sit cross-legged: "So what happened to you? Because your Batman didn't give up on me from the beginning to the end like my Batman?" Xia fought against the group of people who arrested him day and night, and only asked one question, 'Where is Robin! '.

I was moved, but I noticed the magician's silence more.

"No," Jacob said slowly, "my faith has been talking to me."

This sentence blocked Robin, who was planning to save himself, he didn't know what to say. He spent three days observing the magician trying to save himself, but he got stuck here.This is also what he doesn't understand. According to the knowledge Batman taught him, he is right to find the magician's weakness, but why can the other party talk to him so rationally?

Isn't the fear of being alone and forgotten his weakness?

That's not right, then he has no reason to keep himself and watch Batman together.

Robin quickly changed his strategy: "Well, my faith hasn't spoken to me for three days. I really don't know why you lunatics are so obsessed with Batman. You are simply a fan club, chasing yourself anytime, anywhere My idol commits nympho everywhere. I don’t understand why he attracts people.”

"It's the same as why you like him," the computer screen flashed, and Jacob looked back at Batman who had spent three days finally meeting the clown again, and continued to chat with Robin, "Because of his principles, because of his Persistence. I am Gotham tomorrow, and he is Gotham today."

"Oh, then tomorrow you just sit here and do nothing, let today continue to work hard?" Robin couldn't help complaining, "Seriously, you are tomorrow and today, so what are clowns? Yesterday? ?”

The magician raised his hand, and then began to slide his hand from left to right.Robin stared wide-eyed and watched the mask on the magician's face gradually dissolve like a liquid with life, and then as if guided by the stream, the stream re-condensed on the magician's wrist to form a pair of delicate silver bracelets. The Joker's voice: "You think I planned all of this? Oh my god Batman, you didn't even know he existed!"

"This game, from beginning to end, is the magician's prologue!"

"Gotham, there is no yesterday." Jacob looked up, looking at Robin's shocked face, "They are the other side of the coin."
