I haven't been a big brother for many years

But he only saw the crowd that had just closed and the bright red top hat that stood out from the crowd.

Then there was a loud bang that definitely didn't belong to the Gotham police. A red, white and blue shield with a star painted on it suddenly flew over, and hit a few believers surrounded by the inner circle with one blow. .

This blow almost knocked Jerome to the ground, but he took a step back and deftly dodged the attack.Ryan knew there was a problem when he backed away.

Sure enough, Bruce saw the red and blue figure not far away, whom most Americans adore—Captain America.

He was saved, but by the time Bruce's gaze returned to the crowd, the red peaked hat had fallen to the floor, trampled around by the panicked crowd, and was quickly becoming worn out.

Perhaps only the person who saved him knows who he is.

Bruce felt a little melancholy, but he really couldn't think of anyone who would even cover up saving him.

Jerome was also feeling very uncomfortable now, he quickly pushed Harley Quinn who was standing beside him as an assistant: "Plan B!".No longer caring about Bruce Wayne, he fled to the maze not far away.

He's not quite ready to face Captain America, not to mention that it's not just Captain America, but another red and blue figure: Superman.

The captain tends to rescue the hostages first, so, unfortunately, the near-invincible Kryptonian is assigned the job of going after Jerome.Da Chao seems to have identified him as his target. No matter how Jerome shuttles back and forth in the maze of distorting mirrors, the figure that is almost a bolt of lightning can always find him, as if the reflections in the mirror do not exist at all.

But for some reason, Superman's figure suddenly stopped.He froze as far as the naked eye could see, looked at the mirrors in front of him full of Jerome's reflection in all directions, sighed, and shot out from the spot like a rocket.

Jerome stuck his head in doubt, he didn't know what happened, but it was a good thing for him.

"Is the airship ready?"

A smiling woman's voice came from the communicator: "Of course, Pudding."

Da Chao suddenly gave up his goal because he suddenly heard a voice: "Help." The voice sounded calm, but what happened was not so peaceful.

On the roof of the building not far away, a man fell from the roof.

When Superman rushed over quickly, he even found that this figure was a little familiar: Isn't this one of the people who jumped from the building that belonged to Stark's house last time?

A rare sense of helplessness rose in Clark Kent's heart, and he firmly caught the white-haired man's falling body at an accelerated rate.

This time his cry for help seemed real, and there were no skateboards with blue lights nearby.

"It's the second time, young man." Superman sent him back to the top of the safe building, and found that there seemed to be no third person here, and the intact railings did not have any traces that would cause accidents.

The conclusion is that the young man jumped off again by himself.

"Thank you, Superman, thank you very much for saving my life." The gentle smile on Ryan's face made Dachao even more helpless.It was as if he didn't care about his own life at all.

Clark nodded as a thank you. Just as he was about to turn around and leave to track down Jerome, the white-haired man suddenly grabbed the cloak.

Superman raised an eyebrow and looked back at him.I don't know what else he wants to say: "I'm sorry to take you a while, but I just want to ask you a question."

The white-haired man's smile remained the same, and he couldn't tell at all that he actually found out that he was delaying for Jerome for a while: "I know this may be a little too impolite. But you are indeed a Kryptonian, aren't you? Why would you want to help?" What about Earthlings? Why do you want to be a superhero?"

This series of questions once made Superman dumbfounded. He was also confused and thought about this question.Why did he choose to be Superman?

Known as the hero who saved the world, he smiled, and in front of him was a child who was still confused: "Because people need me, child. One day they will need you as much as they need me. The world needs everyone .” So stop doing these dangerous moves.

But the young man was obviously dissatisfied with his answer. Ryan nodded, but asked: "How can a person who cannot get love have a sense of responsibility to society? There are always people who are questioning your identity and motivation as a Kryptonian, aren't you?"

This question is a bit too sharp.But the big boy on the farm was not angry. Instead, he smiled and comforted the fluffy white hair of the boy in front of him who looked like a teenager.The mind is not directly proportional to the appearance, and Clark, who is quite emotional, can see through the boy's struggle at a glance.

His too sharp question is not asking himself, but asking him: "I am not unloved, in this world I can always find those who really love me and don't care what my identity is, don't care I have someone who is motivated." He has loving parents who support him from beginning to end, and he has also found a lover who is worthy of his life's love: Louise Lane.

He paused for a moment, because he found that the eyes of the young man in front of him looked more confused than when he first saw him: "A person who has never been treated kindly can recognize love the most, and can cherish this love the most. Isn't it?"

no.

Ryan smiled softly in his heart, but still nodded gently: "Thank you, I understand." A person who has never been treated with love will subconsciously avoid such emotions, and such emotions will to some extent become their burden.They will desperately repay this love in various ways, for fear that one day, the masters of those emotions will see through his true face and abandon him from then on.

Clark also nodded with satisfaction: "One day, you will also find someone who is willing to love you unconditionally, tolerate you unconditionally, and trust you unconditionally."

Reassured that he would probably never commit suicide again, Superman finally turned away with confidence, and now he could finally go find Jerome undisturbed.

Ryan watched his figure disappear quickly in the sky before picking up the phone to call Barbara.

Those crimson eyes sank and turned into a terrifying scarlet. When he heard the woman's voice on the phone, the smile on his lips widened a little: "Falcone has been caught."

Barbara's voice trembled a little, she couldn't believe how easy it was for them to do it.

Falconi looked as if he had won the game and was reaping the benefits.But they actually lost from the very beginning, and she probably only knew about the relationship between Jerome and Ryan.

The eyes of the old diehards who are firmly seated in the top seat of power in Gotham City were completely attracted by Jerome's large-scale show, but did not notice Ryan's actions at all.After all, Maroni, who was cooperating with Jerome, still held what Jerome called Plan B, which was actually a big move of the real plan that the two of them reached an agreement.

Smiling, Falconi and Maroney waited for Jerome's show to attract the attention of the rest of Gotham and Jordan, and then quietly moved the weapon-laden gun that Jerome said was used to attack the Kraken Club. The airship takes off, attacking Lane's sphere of influence from the air.But they didn't know that the target of the airship was the Gotham Police Department from beginning to end, and it didn't contain any weapons at all.

It's just that the airship full of laughing gas was caught off guard by Barbara before it took off.

Both Falconi and Jerome were played by Lane.

But accompanied by ecstasy, a very clear thought flashed through her mind: it can't go on anymore, she must quit Ryan's team.This man was terrifying, and his timing and almost always foolproof plans made her see clearly the man's terrifying ambitions, and he was not just someone who could be satisfied by dominating Gotham.

It was as if that soft and deceitful young man a few years ago never existed at all.He had already completely wrapped himself in armor, and now Ryan was too ruthless.

Jerome once helped Ryan, but he is still being used by him now.Poor guy has almost completely been regarded as the biggest fire target by other criminals in Gotham.Barbara has no doubt that she is also a dispensable pawn, who can be abandoned at any time in exchange for greater benefits.

Quit with Tabby when you get back, they've got enough.

The gun in her hand was pointed at the head of Falconi who was lying on the ground tied up with five flowers, and she looked at the shivering brown-haired youth in the corner, raising her exquisitely drawn eyebrows: "I also found Jerome's genius pharmacist, Maybe you'll be interested in him."

Ryan looked at the moving black dot on the locator in his hand, and smiled casually while following the black dot: "Let's hear it? What's special about him?"

"um, his name is George Lennon..."

Two hours later

The departed Superman never came back.

Under the cover of night, Jerome, who was constantly shuttling through the intricate streets of Gotham City, did not escape his old friend James Gordon after all.

He was stuck on the roof of a certain chemical factory, barely standing on the edge of the roof, with nowhere to go.

A white suit that was extremely conspicuous in the dark had been stained red with blood, and Jerome couldn't help laughing.He had just come to life, and now he was going to die again.What's even more infuriating is that the airship Harley promised was nowhere to be seen at all, and the disturbance he caused in Gotham in the end just caused a city to be blacked out and plunged into darkness.

Not even he could kill Bruce Wayne.

He even had his mind locked on to the one person who might have spoiled all good things: Ryan.

Gritting his teeth, Jerome didn't care about Gordon's gun barrel aimed at his head. He laughed maniacally: "Oh, look who's chasing him, little Jim, ha."

The bad premonition became stronger and stronger, and Gordon clenched the gun in his hand: "Give up resistance, Jerome, this is the end."

"Really?" Jerome took a step back, his smile undiminished: "I'm not going to die, I've become Gotham's virus. Now it's terminally ill. Everyone will be me, the next A Jerome Valeska."

The place behind him was so dark that it was almost an abyss.Accidentally, Jerome stepped on the air and fell from the stairs.

"Wait!" Gordon desperately stretched out his hand, trying to grab him, but it was too late, the white figure had disappeared from everyone's sight, only the laughter was still echoing, Then it disappeared suddenly, and there was a terrifying dead silence in the air.

It was so dark that he couldn't see what was below.

"Go down and search!" Gordon yelled at the detectives who hurriedly felt the scene behind him.

Coincidentally, just below them is the huge reaction product pool of hydrofluoric acid prepared by heating concentrated sulfuric acid and fluorite in the chemical plant.

Standing next to the huge plastic container filled with hydrofluoric acid, Gordon was silent for a long time as he looked at the small pieces of white cloth stained with blood hanging by the pool.

Finally, with a sigh, he announced: "Jerome Valeska is dead."

Now he will never come back to life again, the hydrofluoric acid has dissolved all the scum of this crazy man, maybe he did leave something to Gotham, which is this piece of cloth hanging by the pool.

The author has something to say:

Everyone thought the clown was dead, so the lord was indifferent when he saw the clown card for the first time, because Jerome hadn't used the clown symbol at that time.

The clown in the original setting is Jerome, not Jerome...um, but I think Jerome is more suitable for the clown, so I didn't let him die. (there are three clowns in the comics...) And most of the clown's experience is that he fell into the sulfuric acid pool ummm later, the ugly man will jump into the sulfuric acid pool, here is the hydrofluoric acid pool because it is more corrosive.. .It is easier for everyone to think that he is dead.

In the next chapter, I will strive to complete the prequel (the development history of the scheming Leybow).
