[Comprehensive British and American] The vest system of the son of hell

"Fight darkness with darkness."

Matthew told the two very calmly: "Since our enemies are monsters from the other world bred by darkness, fear, and fantasy, why don't we defeat them with deeper darkness?!"

"With all due respect, I don't understand what you're saying."

Barbara was candid about her attitude.

Damian: "Your suggestion is very exciting, but what do you need to do to defeat the darkness with darkness? Use magic to let us also enter the illusion state to create monsters in the other world against the monsters in the other world?"

"In theory it is, of course it is not in practice."

Matthew smiled faintly, raised his hand, and released the primordial darkness that had merged into his body.

Barbara and Damian were quickly swallowed by the darkness. Can Luo tilted his body and thought for a while before jumping into the darkness.

Then, the darkness began to change.

One after another distorted creatures came out of the darkness, there were nurses whose mouths turned into meatballs, Batman from another world with steel thorn goggles on his face, Robin with acid dripping all over his body and his face corroded, and some with bodies The surface is full of various uneven squid-shaped creatures...

These monsters from the deep subconscious of Barbara, Damian and Can Luo slowly walked out of the darkness, out of the Dionysian enchantment that Matthew used to resist the invasion of monsters in the other world, and in the inner world under the domination of the clown. World monsters scuffle and fight!

For a moment, there were flying flesh and blood everywhere, as well as screams of super high decibels that human ears could not bear.

Matthew stood in the enchantment of God's Domain, watching all this calmly.

until--

The battle is coming to an end, and the monsters created by our side will win.

The sky filled with dark clouds suddenly became as bright as day.

Immediately afterwards, the clown appeared in front of Matthew with exaggerated dance steps.

"I have to say, your methods shocked me—"

"So you had to show up to us?"

"Yes."

The clown winked and said, "Matthew, do you think the me standing in front of you is real or illusory?"

"Whether you are real or unreal is no objection to me."

Matthew looked at the clown quietly: "There is only one thing I have to do now, break the inner world and take them away."

"It's two things, not one thing."

The clown corrected Matthew's statement with a serious face: "It's one thing to break the inner world, but it's another thing to take them away."

"Why do you say that?"

"because--"

The clown deliberately elongated his tone, his body twisted and folded like noodles.

It turned out that the clown that appeared in this space was an illusion created by the other world.

"Since you're not a real clown, I can deal with you the same way I deal with not a real clown."

Smiling, Matthew spread out his blood-red wings behind him, and each feather that made up the wings was a gleaming sharp knife.

"you--"

"This is the other world. You don't need to exist in reality, and I can also continue to exist completely out of reality."

While speaking, Matthew flapped his wings and flew into the sky, fighting with the clown created by the inner world who also flew into the sky.

The clown created in the other world is hardly bound by the laws of physics, but his opponent is Matthew who completely ignores the laws of physics.

The battle was doomed from the start.

No matter how much the clown created in the other world changes and struggles, he can't escape the overwhelming bondage caused by Matthew's power!

Seeing that death was about to come, the clown roared, "Matthew—you crazy!"

"It's a great honor to be rated as a lunatic by a lunatic!"

After finishing speaking, Matthew suddenly grabbed the clown's neck: "Tell me, how can I leave this place full of fiction!"

"You...don't even think about it...don't think about it..."

The clown tries to die.

Spikes emerged from Matthew's fingers and dug into the clown's skin.

The clown smiled grimly: "Do you think torture can make you surrender? I am a clown, a lunatic, a real lunatic who tastes all the pain in the world as happiness!"

"But what I extract is not your pain, but your blood."

Matthew lowered his head and looked at the clown in the other world who was pressed by him on the cliff: "Your blood is flowing out of your body, flowing through my body, and I have learned information. I will analyze your blood to determine your identity." True identity, and the real flaws in the other world!"

"you--"

The clown's face was distorted again, the exaggerated paint on his face was crazy and messy, and finally turned into a colorful question mark: "Even if you can extract my past and my future from my blood, it is still not your ability to create my power." A thorough understanding of the essence of the soul!

I am with madness, and I will always live in the depths of your soul until you forget me or I forget you... Of course, the greater possibility is that you are caught by madness like me!Dive into never-ending madness!crazy--"

The last "crazy" shouted, and the clown in the other world who was strangled by Matthew turned into a blank sheet of paper.

The inner world supported by him then collapsed.

The world disintegrated as quickly as the data flow of a science fiction movie, revealing its original desolation and desolation.

At this time, Matthew couldn't care less about appreciating the reality of the world.

He flapped his wings and returned to Barbara, Damian, and Can Luo who were surrounded by the original darkness, covered them with his own power, and ensured that they were physically and mentally safe from the control of darkness.

However, despite being so cautious, Barbara and Damian still showed slight signs of pollution when they woke up, and Guan Luo was safe and sound, except that there were some dark substances on the surface of the body, and the spirit was also highly excited.

"Matthew, you are amazing! Why can you be so awesome!"

"Because I'm Matthew."

Matthew reached out and caressed Jura's body.

Can Luo made a cozy purring sound like a kitten.

This scene was seen by Damian, and his beautiful eyes flashed with obvious displeasure: "You spoiled!"

"Being coquettish can win father's love—"

Can Luo replied without hesitation.

Damian: "Real men don't need to act like a baby!"

"So you deserve to be hated by Daddy—"

Kanro attacks Damian mercilessly.

Damian: "..."

He grabbed the jar, ready to let this cosmic starfish know how powerful he is.

At this time, Barbara pointed to the Arkham Mental Hospital not far away and asked Matthew: "Have we really left the other world?"

"Well, this is the real Arkham Asylum."

"Then we-"

Barbara looked at the time: "We only stayed in the other world for 10 minutes? I thought we stayed at least five hours!"

"In most cases, the time flow rate in the inner world is different from the time flow rate in the real world."

Matthew prevaricated gently.

He didn't want to waste time explaining the flow of time between the two worlds.

Barbara saw that Matthew was perfunctory, but because this question did not involve principles, she did not continue to ask, said "Okay", and got into the car with Damian and Canro, and entered the real Arkham mental hospital.

……

Because it is the real Arkham, the first page of the clown's medical file obtained by Matthew marked the clown's life.

Arthur...

A low-level white male with a poor life and a messed up career before becoming a clown.

Like most psycho killers, he had an unhappy childhood, abused by his mother, beaten by his mother's boyfriend, and denied by almost everyone he knew in life.

He has also worked hard, pulling out a smile and forcing himself to actively face the misfortunes of life.

However, life has played a huge joke on him.

When he needed money the most, he was fired by his boss.

He decided to take the risk and rob the bank. As a result, on the night when he and his accomplices planned the robbery plan, his beloved wife died alone at home due to dystocia and hemorrhage...

he broke down...

He was wounded bloody by the present world and embraced madness, becoming Gotham's biggest nightmare——

clown……

"An origin story of pain and despair, isn't it?"

"Head of Arkham" turned around with a clown's crazy grin on his face.

Seeing this, Barbara was shocked: "You actually—"

"Yes, I became the headmaster of Arkham."

The clown looked at the shocked Barbara happily: "Do you like this gift?"

"Who would like—"

"You are really cute when you are in a wheelchair."

The clown grinned grimly and said to Barbara: "I still have a whole set of photos of you after I broke your spine. It is a real work of art, a perfect work of art of pain and despair. Barbara, take a picture of you When I was there, I once doubted that I would fall in love with you."

"Thank you for reminding me, it reminds me of those painful pasts!"

Barbara looked at the clown word by word: "I hate you! I will always hate you!"

"Even if your wound has healed and you get up from the wheelchair, you still hate me?"

The clown bit his nails on purpose, and stared at Barbara's face with crazy eyes: "Without me, you would not be what you are now. It is I who made you reborn from the cocoon, from an ordinary person to a work of art."

"madman!"

Barbara emphasized again: "I will never accept the love of a madman!"

"However, I don't need you to accept my love, I just need you to remember that the clown turned you into a work of art, from a frivolous and ordinary girl to a tough and beautiful work of art, you are—"

"Shut up you!"

Damian's voice suddenly sounded.

Immediately afterwards, the floor-to-ceiling windows behind the dean shattered, and Damian broke into the office with a sharp knife against the neck of the clown disguised as the dean: "I admit that I don't like Barbara, but hearing you humiliate Barbara so much , I will still be angry!"

"Matthew is not angry, why are you angry?"

The clown winked exaggeratedly, looked at Matthew who was still calmly looking at his medical files, and said provocatively: "Hey, dear, why don't you look up and say nothing? Are you not angry? Or say , you, like me, don't care about their lives at all?"

"What do you say?"

Matthew closed the file, looked up, and looked at the crazy clown.

"You finally noticed me, Matthew, I'm so happy, very, very happy."

The Joker is as exaggerated as ever.

Matthew shook his head and said, "I'm not happy at all to see you."

"you--"

"Normal people won't be happy to see you! Clown!"

Barbara emphasized angrily.

The appearance of the clown made her spine ache again.

Damian added: "I hate this freak with paint on his face, he looks like he's crazy."

"I was originally crazy, Master Damian."

The clown looked at Damian ferociously: "I made up the stories in the file. In reality, I was born a lunatic and anti-human. I can't understand all the love and hate of human beings! I hate all things that are considered beautiful! "

"Really? Are you really born crazy?"

Matthew looked at the clown: "You are not a lunatic without a past, not only do you have a past, but your past is full of pain and despair, it belongs to the cruelest past that you dare not admit and dare not answer even if you are completely mad!

So you deny that you, too, have a past, repeating that you are a born lunatic!Because once your enemies know that you too have a past, they will use your past to torture you over and over again! "

"You are right, if my past is known, my enemies will use it to torture me? But I have forgotten my past, the past is a beautiful joke to me. I like beautiful things , preferring to destroy beautiful things."

The clown looked at Matthew madly: "You know? In my eyes, you are the most beautiful and most destructive combination of contradictions. Your beauty is like the sky itself, and your destructiveness makes me go crazy. I like you because you are crazy, beautiful and full of unrealistic fantasy."

"I don't want to understand what the madman said." Matthew said bluntly.

He clearly knew that the clown's insane talk at the moment was part of an evil trick. Once he accepted the clown's logic, he would be caught by the clown, and eventually fell into the clown's sophistry trap.

To deal with the clown, the only and most effective way is to ignore all his words and deeds, and only concentrate on following your own ideas!

Kill the clown!

"I know what you're thinking! You want to kill me! But you can't! You can't!"

The clown shouted coldly: "Matthew, you are a monster that shouldn't have been born like me, we should have been killed as early as the moment we were born, but unfortunately the evil that should have come to this world will come eventually, even if it is you , even if it's me!"

"Matthew, don't listen to him! He deceives you with sophistry!"

Barbara, who was worried that Matthew would be held back by the clown's sophistry, shouted: "He used this method to drive my dad almost crazy!"

"I know, I won't be fooled."

Matthew nodded his thanks, and then asked the clown with a smile: "Since when did you become a favored person of 'Crazy'?"

"I have always been the favored of 'crazy', all creatures in the world are the blessed of 'madness', I am controlled by madness, Batman is also controlled by madness, we are different manifestations of the favored by madness, he likes to keep rational The madness of order, and I prefer the madness of chaos."

The clown frantically answered Matthew's question.

As Harley said, he knows exactly what he is doing and what the other party wants, so he deliberately answers the question but gives wrong guidance on the key content, so that more people will make it without knowing it. wrong judgment.

If his opponent is not Matthew, his series of calculations will easily win.

however--

Matthew doesn't take this set.

He saw through the clown's calculations, and told the clown calmly: "Crazy is the original emotion of all things, and it is also the opposite of rationality. In the depths of Batman's heart, it has never been madness that dominates, but rationality. His rationality allows him to always be Suppress the original impulse in your heart, so as to act against instinct."

"An act against instinct is—"

"Kill you……"

Matthew told the clown quietly: "He is the person who wants to kill you the most in Gotham, but he can always resist the urge to kill you, because killing you won't make Gotham better, even Could make Gotham even worse."

"So his world will always be Gotham and nothing else...he is just a ridiculous guy...a doomed tragedy..."

The clown looked at Matthew with rare calm eyes: "Batman has only two paths in the future. The first one is to kill me and end his non-killing principle. The other one is to be killed by me and end being a bat. The life of a hero!"

"You take yourself too seriously."

"But I do matter, I make Batman Batman."

The clown smirked subtly.

As Harley said, the Joker hates Batman, but the Joker is also the person who knows and loves Batman the most in the entire world.

They are two sides of the same coin, although they behave completely differently.

The best ending the Joker can have is dying at the hands of Batman.

And Batman's ultimate fate must be killed by the Joker—either physically or mentally.

"I love him, but I also hate him. We are monsters forced together by fate. Whether it is love or hate, there is always no beginning and no result."

Speaking of this, the clown suddenly tore off his collar, exposing his neck and heart: "Come on! Kill me! Damian, move your knife down one centimeter and kill me completely!"

"Then I'll be killed by my dad, right?"

Damian let go of the clown who was restrained by him in a good and angry voice: "I'm not a fool, I won't be your tool."

After finishing speaking, Damian rolled in the air and came to Matthew and Barbara: "Did I come in time?"

"Your arrival was not only timely, it almost ruined the overall situation—"

Kan Luo, standing on top of Damian's head, complained sharply.

Damian: "Che—"

Guan Luo: "Didn't you really want to kill the clown just now?"

"I just made a few gestures with the knife, I don't have the urge to kill!"

Damian complained to Matthew: "Ever since I became a father's son, I have been changing, from an assassin who takes murder as a living, to a competent Robin who guards Gotham.

I love being Dad's son, it's reassuring me that I'm not here just to satisfy my grandpa and my mom's need for an heir.Besides being Damian of the League of Assassins, I'm also Dad's son and Robin of Gotham. "

"I know that Damian is no longer the Damian who just arrived in Gotham..." Matthew said, "You have courage and wisdom, and you are the Robin who makes Batman proud."

"It would be perfect if those words came from Dad."

Damian smiled mischievously, and asked the clown: "Why did you create the other world? Want to kill Batman in the other world?"

"I never wanted to kill Batman, the only thing I wanted was Batman's submission, submission to me forever."

The clown grinned ferociously, and his smile merged with the shards of glass behind him in an eerie harmony: "Many people think that I am a lunatic, living in the world crazily, but I know that I have never been insane, and I am better than anyone else in the world." I’m more conscious and more aware of why I’m alive. I want Batman and the wonderful world that can only be accessed through the medium of Batman.”

"You really thought your world was—"

"Yes, he is my everything, my soul, my love, my life, and the whole meaning of my existence and the world."

Speaking of this, a strange smile suddenly appeared on the clown's face, and his body twisted accordingly: "Matthew, do you want to know why you were born?"

"I want to know, but I don't want to know from you."

Matthew looked at the clown sternly: "I just want to talk to madness through you, and I don't want to listen to your crazy words."

"In your eyes, I have actually become the endorsement of crazy words? Matthew, thanks to the fact that I praised you as the most beautiful creature I have ever seen when I first met you, now you actually deny the meaning of my existence?"

The clown showed an exaggerated sad expression: "I was very uncomfortable at the scene, very uncomfortable, very uncomfortable, but I couldn't help feeling excited, as if your pain was a beautiful transformation of my happiness, and as if I had passed through your pain. Sad to see some other good things that belong to me. Matthew, you will never get the crazy secret out of my mouth, because I choose to die!"

After the words fell, the clown turned over and jumped off!

"Hey!"

Shocked, Damian ran after him and tried to hold the Joker back.

However, the clown chose death, an absolute death that could not be stopped even with Damian's perfect skill.

"No one can stop the clown from making choices. He will always only do what he thinks is right."

Accompanied by these words, the "Joker" who fell to the ground until his brain was blown out stood up, with a distorted and broken face hanging from most of the eyeballs that fell outside.

"He" said to Damian who was chasing after him: "Are you feeling very uncomfortable now? Didn't expect that I'm still alive, in such a tattered form?"

"Who are you! You are not a clown!"

Damian looked at the "clown" vigilantly, and the tank standing above his head also entered a rare state of full alert: "Damian, this guy is very scary! He is the most perfect and most terrifying thing I have ever seen! "

"I know, I won't mess around, I'll—"

"You are not my opponent, and I didn't show up to meet you."

The "clown" smiled crazily, and Damian suddenly felt as if he had fallen into an endless kaleidoscope, his vision was chaotic and hideous, and his body was completely out of control.

"I……"

"You're in a crazy dream."

With that said, "Joker" flew up into the air and landed firmly in front of Matthew: "Long time no see—"
