[Comprehensive Anglo-American] New York People's Suffering History

The host read from the paper: "What is the purpose of you two participating in this program?" His hyphenation was a little strange. The bloody scenes of the two lunatics who witnessed the atrocities with his own eyes still flashed back and forth in his mind. Moriarty fought his way in until no one dared to resist.The security personnel even hid in a corner and took off their uniforms, removed their weapons and pretended to be ordinary staff.

The clown clasped his hands together, fingers interlocked, and put his elbows on the arm of the sofa.He licked his lips and said in that unique hoarse voice: "You know what? I'm actually your friend. After a while, you will find that it's safest to be with me."

The host didn't dare to answer casually, the question the clown gave him didn't contain any probing sentences, so he could only wait silently for the clown to speak again.

"You can ask what you want." The clown smiled and looked at the fat middle-aged host. "Throw away that piece of paper!"

"You said you were our friend, why did you threaten to blow up New York?" The host crumpled the paper. He is now facing billions of viewers around the world. The dignity of a celebrity does not allow him to be too humble due to timidity look like.

"This is just so you can focus on listening to me. And, that's not a threat!" The clown crossed his legs, and then looked at the camera: "I'm here to play a game with everyone. This friend beside me— —" The clown pointed to Moriarty and introduced: "I believe everyone already knows him, Mr. Moriarty, the bombing is his masterpiece."

Moriarty straightened his unruly hair, got up and greeted the audience with a smile.

"What game?" The host straightened his back even more, and he had a hunch that this would be his last episode.Death was something that was decided early on, sooner or later, but now it was earlier than he imagined.

The clown smiled and looked at Moriarty: "Come on!"

Moriarty has also recently developed a lip licking problem. He moistened his dry lips with his tongue, and then pointed to the live audience, which was compulsorily formed by the TV crew: "That gentleman, please come on stage and cooperate."

Moriarty picked a man in a gray suit.

The man's legs were trembling, and under the threatening eyes of Moriarty, he walked from the auditorium to the center of the stage.

The clown clapped his hands, and a pretty young girl in a dress pushed up a board with a map of New York on it.Moriarty took a dart and handed it to the man in the suit: "Come on, please throw it whatever you want. The rules of the game are, whichever place you hit, I will blow it up, and you can leave the building safely. If you miss the target, you Will die here immediately. There is a third option, if you abstain, you can exchange your life for a place to become a safe area."

The man takes the red dart.

The people standing in front of the TV held their breath. They had no time to escape and could only pray that their position would not be selected.I even hope that this man can abstain.

The man was crying, and suddenly turned his head to look at the camera: "Sarah, if you are watching the live broadcast, I just want to tell you that I love you. And our unborn child, if it is a boy, it will be Patrick, and if it is a girl, it will be Patrick." My name is Lilian. I love you. Love you forever." The man blew a kiss into the mirror, then walked to the map board, picked up a marker and circled the area where his home was located.

Moriarty drew his gun and shot the man down.Then he spread his hands in disappointment: "Okay, who's next."

There was no sound at the scene.Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to meet Moriarty's eyes.They are destined to be losers in this game. Either they will become accomplices and detonate the bomb, or they will die on stage.

Moriarty walked back and forth and shouted, "My God! I gave you the chance to save New York and become a hero. Can't everyone be more excited? Come on." He forcibly pulled a crying girl with her face covered. on stage.

The girl was too scared to stand up: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

"Why do you have to apologize? Darling, stand up." Moriarty helped the girl up and handed him a green dart: "Make your choice!"

The girl's hands were shaking so badly that the dart slipped out from between her fingers as soon as it touched her hand.

There was a "ding~" sound when the metal hit the ground.

"Miss the target! It seems that you have made your choice." The clown who had been sitting and watching the play also joined the game.Gunshots rang out, and the stage was covered in blood.

The people who watched the live broadcast secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although this kind of thinking is somewhat unfair, everyone hopes that the people on the scene can become heroes and exchange the safety of the majority with a few casualties.Except, of course, the family of the deceased.Their families would rather die themselves.

"I'll come!" An old lady wearing a cleaner's sleeve stood up tremblingly and walked slowly to the stage.She took the initiative to ask Moriarty for darts. She wanted to protect the people she wanted to protect with her life before they became unfortunate victims.She is almost seventy, and has no more hope for life.

"I understand what you're thinking, old man." Moriarty didn't give her a chance to participate in the game: "You can play if you want, but there is no option to abstain. It's not discrimination against the elderly, but your purpose is too obvious." Mo Riati pointed to the auditorium: "You should go back and sit down!"

The old man wiped his tears and went back to the first row of the auditorium. A boy with glasses got up and helped the old man to sit down.

"You may not understand the essence of this game." The clown asked Moriarty for a black dart, then stood on the throwing line pasted with tape, squinting and aiming at the map board.With a light throw, the dart stuck deeply on the board.

"Beautiful!" Moriarty and the clown gave a high five, and then stepped forward to confirm the area.

Spectators in the selected area of ​​"Lucky" began to flee in a hurry, and the northwest corner of the Bronx, New York, was in chaos.

Moriarty tossed the remote to the host. "Press it."

The host didn't refuse or press. He could imagine that people would try to move to another safe place, so he kept silent and tried to buy them time.

Suddenly there was a faint and distant explosion.Moriarty shook the real remote control in his hand, smiled and said to the host: "Sorry, just a little joke. Come on, let's continue."

***

"Crazy." Captain America couldn't stand it any longer. "Shill, you go back to the bureau and arrange for someone to conduct an explosives investigation across the city."

"Captain, what about you?" Hill asked.

"I'm going to the show. We can't delay for a moment. If this goes on, the casualties will only increase."

"There are surveillance cameras around the building, and they will detonate again as soon as you appear."

"It's impossible for them to control the satellite surveillance, right? I'm going down from the roof." Captain America called Iron Man while walking, but the phone rang for a long time but no one answered.

At this time, Iron Man was being tied up in the dark basement, and behind him was a man with a welder repairing things.

The US team had to broadcast the call of Batman who had just saved.

Batman is standing on the roof of the TV station building: "I'll pick you up right away."

"We have to stop them." Soapy watched the live broadcast of the killing angrily.

"We can't." Klaus said indifferently. "It's okay to save a person, but this kind of thing that exposes the entire ethnic group to the eyes of all mankind is untouchable."

"Honey, you should learn to hold back your sympathy." Gunn and Klaus agreed.

Klaus comforted Soapy: "If you have someone you care about, we can help you take them here for refuge. Freya's spell can protect this place. Be obedient, you are really not the same as them."

With no one's support, Soapy could only watch the development of the situation while worrying about his heart.

***

Someone raised their hand.

A man covered his face with a scarf and asked cautiously, "Can I leave here if I hit the target?"

Moriarty smiled and said, "Of course. The rules of the game are meant to be followed! I assure the audience all over the world." Moriarty understands that someone is captured by the fear of death and would rather sacrifice many innocent people In exchange for a chance of survival.This is also good.

The man covered his face, took the dart, and froze on the spot, making the final psychological struggle.He could only see it as a simple game, like the one he played with his friends over drinks, and he didn't dare to think about the consequences.That was a consequence he couldn't bear, but he was more afraid of death.

He aimed hard and threw it.

The dart needles flew to the map board, and the people of New York felt that they were going through the doomsday.Lives are hanging by a thread all the time, and their lives are decided by this silly little game.

The dart suddenly fell halfway, without even touching the edge of the map board.

The man's knee and the dart hit the ground at the same time. "Please, let me try again, I can definitely hit it. Give me another chance."

Moriarty tilted his head: "No!" and fired.

The glasses boy next to the old woman stood up.

"It seems that you have finally realized the fun of this game." Moriarty handed over the darts.

The glasses boy held the dart tightly, stood in front of the throwing line, and then said to the camera: "Mom and Dad, I'm sorry, I can't protect you."

The Clown and Moriarty smiled in satisfaction.The clown put his arms around Moriarty's shoulders, and said loudly, as if proclaiming to the whole world: "As I said, there is a crime hidden in everyone's bones, but there is no chance to release it. Look at your colleagues, friends and family members, yes Don't you think their looks are strange? You will get used to them, they are like this, and so are you."

The glasses boy looked at the map board, but when the clown was talking, he suddenly held the dart and stabbed it hard at his neck.The clown flashed, and the dart landed in his shoulder.The people sitting in the auditorium were inspired by the brave behavior of the glasses boy, and they also wanted to rush to the stage to die with these two lunatics.

But after a gunshot, the situation was brought under control.

The gun in Moriarty's hand was still smoking, and the glasses boy fell to the ground with his eyes wide open, with a big hole in his head.

The clown's right shoulder was bleeding, and half of the shoulder of the white hospital gown was stained bright red.He pulled out the dart blankly and threw it away, and then, as if nothing happened, he smiled and said to the people present: "Let's continue. You must know that there is no end to this game like yours. There are more and more people dying in the studio. There are only two ways to end the game, blow up everywhere, or turn everything into a safe zone."

"These people." The clown pointed to a pile of corpses on the ground. "Sacrifice worthless, except the first gentleman. If not brave enough, at least wicked enough."

A little girl less than ten years old stood up.He didn't cry or tremble, just stood on the stage calmly. "I participate and abstain."

Those few short words surprised Chou Mo and the others.

"Son, are you sure you understand the rules of this game?" The clown squatted down, looking straight into the eyes of the little girl: "What's your name?"

"Olivia." The girl looked at the clown very calmly: "I understand this game. It's just a choice between me and many other people, isn't it? It's not difficult to choose."

"Olivia. Are you trying to protect your family?" The clown was a little bit reluctant to kill the child.

"My mother is the receptionist of the TV station, she has been killed by you, and she has no other relatives. But at least I can let other friends have a good life." Olivia walked around the clown to the map board, took Pick up a marker pen and circle the area with the largest area.

Moriarty pointed the gun at the little girl's little head.Olivia clenched her fists and closed her eyes, telling herself that it was like an injection, and the pain would pass after a while.She trembled and trembled.

"God! Come on!" Moriarty threw the gun to the clown: "I've never killed a child with my own hands."

The clown took the gun, looked at Moriarty with disgust, and then aimed at the little girl and pulled the trigger.

Bah!

The gun hits the map board.

A black shadow suddenly jumped out to protect the little girl in his arms, and the clown's gun was also knocked down by the shield that flew over suddenly.

"It's time for the game to end!" The American team wearing a battle suit stood heroically in the middle of the live broadcast screen. He is still the hero who will appear when you are in danger, and the Captain America who stood up to save the whole situation every time in crisis.

The audience who were originally grateful to the little girl and couldn't bear to watch the picture applauded excitedly with wet tears.

it's over.The days shrouded in fear ended with Captain America's words.

The Joker raised his hands in surrender as if in resignation, and Moriarty also raised his hands with a smile. "We throw in the towel."

The moment the US team stepped forward to hold the clown, the clown suddenly took out a knife from his calf and stabbed the US team.Captain America dodges easily and knocks the clown to the ground with one punch.Moriarty watched happily from the sidelines.One game is over and another is just beginning.

The clown wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, stood up and rushed towards Captain America again.This was a battle of disparity in strength. The clown spat out the knocked out teeth mockingly, and stood up unsteadily.

"You just won't give up, right?" Captain America didn't even need a shield to fight the clown, he threw the shield behind him, intending to capture the clown to end the farce.

"I can spend the whole day with you." The clown smiled and rushed to Captain America again.

Captain America grabs the Joker and pins him to the ground.As long as he takes the shield from behind and smashes it down, the clown will lose his head and die. "Kill me!" the clown said defiantly.Even Captain America would succumb to evil if he could prove it to the world on air.Human beings are a collection of sins. His eyes were full of expectation, and he said with a smile, "Kill me. Kill-kill-me."

The US team picked up the clown and escorted them to the elevator with Batman.

Batman reached out and pressed the button for going downstairs. After a few loud noises, the whole building suddenly shook, and the elevator door slowly opened.The Joker pushes away Captain America and jumps into the elevator with Moriarty in his arms, and the elevator descends rapidly.

The clown jumped up and tore off the detonator that had been taped to the elevator wall in advance.

The two arrived at the underground parking lot and used their hands to break open the elevator that could no longer open the door normally.The clown pressed the detonator, and immediately there was an explosion that could deafen people's ears.

Subi was in front of the TV, and heard the sudden explosion sound from the empty live broadcast screen, and felt the pain that the US team was going through more clearly.

She stood up immediately: "I have to go there right away."

"All kinds of surveillance and aerial cameras will take pictures of you. How will you explain it then?" Klaus's dislike for Captain America deepened by two points.

"If I'm fast enough, I won't be photographed." Soapy was so anxious that he didn't bother to persuade Klaus, so he pushed him away who was blocking the door and ran out.

Klaus followed immediately angrily, an uneasy girl.

***

The US team and Batman struggled to get out of the rubble, but fortunately, most of the people in the building had already escaped when the US team scuffled with the clown.Batman broke through the glass wall with Captain America in his arms and flew out of the building.The two were injured, unable to maintain their balance, and fell heavily to the ground.

Cap gasped and braced for the impossibly comfortable landing.

In the end, it fell into Soapy's arms.Soapy caught Captain America in a princess hug, and a black bat figure not far away fell heavily on the ground, stirring up dust.

Cap looked at Batman sympathetically.

"We have to chase after him quickly." Captain America said solemnly as he left Soapy's arms.

"Where are you chasing?" Soapy said unhurriedly, "The clown is still here."

The three found the clown sitting alone in the car in the parking lot under the ruins of the TV station building. The clown swaggered open the door and got out of the car: "So what if you caught me? I didn't want to run away. Anyway, you can't kill me." I, at worst, go to prison or a mental hospital to rest."

Batman knew this was meant for him, because he didn't kill people, so he let the clown stay silent for several years and then came out to commit crimes, and caused immeasurable casualties.

He soared into the air, flew over and grabbed the clown by the neck, and said in a low voice, "I won't let you go this time."

The blushing face of the clown couldn't be seen under the pale and bright smile makeup. He said with a smile, "That's because you and I are the same people."

Batman snapped a piece of steel from the rubble, and aimed it at the Joker's throat.

But it hasn't started yet.If he did it, what was he insisting on all these years?Batman understands that the Joker wants to prove him right with his own death.

Soapy couldn't wait impatiently, she flew over and "clicked" to break the clown's neck, and under Batman's shocked gaze, she inertially pulled out the clown's heart (it's a habit of killing witches, otherwise I always feel that I will be resurrected).It would be terrible if someone like the clown came out to make trouble again.

"Let's go, kill Moriarty." Soapy threw away the clown's heart, then went to Captain America and took his arm.

Captain America turned his head from time to time, as if he wanted to say something.

"I know you want to say that we don't have the right to take a person's life, blablabla...but he is really bad. He is really the worst and worst person I have ever seen." Suby still felt puzzled, she I can't wait to tear the clown to pieces.

"No. I mean, you're doing well."

Batman stood beside the Joker's body in silence for a long time, then turned and left.

Moriarty, who drove around half a circle alone, returned to the TV station. He understood the clown's obstinacy in wanting to tear apart the hypocrisy of the world.Originally thought that the clown would be arrested, but what he saw was his friend in a white hospital gown lying among the rubble, covered in blood.

Regardless of whether he died at the hands of Captain America or Batman, he would have fulfilled his wish!

Moriarty carried the clown's body into the car, and then moved a large amount of explosives from the trunk of the car.He drove the car into the busy city, behind him was the gorgeous flames like fireworks.The clown's body was tied to the co-pilot by the seat belt, and Moriarty looked at the clown with a sense of loss.

He remembered the conversation he had had with the Joker about weaknesses.

On the same day, a user named "Joker" on the video website released a video of the president's murder, with a comment at the end of the video. "New York, I'll be back!" After the text, the picture freezes on a poker joker.
