"I thought you went to find Professor X." Bucky kissed Lucy gently on the cheek, but Lucy didn't know how to explain the story for a while, Bruce Wayne looked at the two gloatingly, and suddenly he thought of A good idea drove them both away.

"Oh, Lucy, you said you broke up with Captain America!" Bruce screamed in a low voice, Lucy's eyes widened in horror, she understood Bruce's intentions, but she couldn't explain it, Bruce even fanned the flames, he Said in a somewhat regretful tone, "It's okay, I don't mind waiting."

"Bucky, I can explain." Lucy said hastily. She kicked Bruce, but he grabbed her ankle and hooked her little finger on it. This is too much!

Bucky grabs Bruce's wrist under the table, forcing him to let go of Lucy, his metal hand nearly bruises Wayne's wrist, and Lucy can hear the slight mechanical movement of the metal joints that link the arms. There was a loud sound, and Bucky still smiled calmly on the table: "Sometimes waiting is just a futile and ineffective activity, Mr. Wayne, you are a businessman, and you should focus on more rewarding projects." To his surprise, This Brother Gotham, who looked like an embroidered pillow, turned his wrist and pulled it out under his grasp, with astonishing strength.

"Ah, I'm different from you, I don't regard love as an investment." Bruce alluded to Bucky's neglect of his feelings.

"That's enough, Bruce." Lucy began to grind her teeth. She was thinking about how she could fight back, stay here, get her boyfriend away, and continue the investigation. She turned to Bucky, "I'm going to see Professor X , Mr. Wayne happened to be entertaining the professor, so..."

"I've been calling you all day." Bucky said flatly, without a tone of blame at all, as if stating the facts.

Lucy's stuck, because she's put the phone thing aside since she started using the chip power, and that looks more like a cover-up to Bucky.

"Bucky, I'm actually working."

Oh great, they're not married yet, and now they're starting to prevaricate each other with work like old couples going through a midlife crisis.

Lucy felt that this excuse was a bit too common, so she gently took Bucky's hand and made him trust herself: "Mr. Wayne is not pursuing me either." Then she turned her head and glared at Bruce, telling him Nodding, while Wayne smiled as the waiter came towards them and set down on their table a beautifully decorated, boat-shaped plate with crushed ice that could freeze a kidney, six perfectly shaped The live oysters are placed on it, and the flesh is still moving.

This kind of ambiguous hint can hardly be understood.

"I just ordered it with my mobile phone. I think you will like it. The sweet oysters on the west coast are delicious this season. Do you want to try it?" Bruce said. He squeezed lemon juice on the oysters, picked up one, and put it on the On the edge of the mouth, the tongue was inserted into the gap, gently sucking the sweet tender meat of the oyster.

Lucy felt Bucky's face turn blue.

"Why not?" Bucky said, imitating Bruce, picked up the oyster, as if playing a game, looked at Bruce with provocative eyes, and began to suck.

Lucy: "..."

Don't you two guys think it's kind of weird to leave me alone and watch each other suck oysters?

"This—it's really ridiculous!" Lucy pushed the chair angrily, stood up and walked out, Bruce wanted her to leave, so she would leave, she didn't need Bruce's permission to investigate the clown, Bucky was The original position did not move.

"Aren't you chasing your girlfriend, or as I thought, you don't love her that much?" Wayne put down the oyster shell and flicked the water balls without grace.

"Listen." Bucky also put down his shell, and he narrowed the distance between himself and Wayne, making the threatening language more deterrent, "I don't know what's wrong with you Gotham people, or how It is rumored that you are all lunatics here, you don't mean that to Lucy, you just have hostility to me, although I don't know where this hostility comes from, if you want to fight with me, just make it clear Come on, don't put her in the middle."

Bucky coldly pushed his chair away and followed Lucy.People in the Marshall Club cast probing glances at him intentionally or unconsciously, Bruce didn't mind, he met Barbara's gaze, Barbara leaned over and sat in Lucy's position just now.

"Two difficult New Yorkers, aren't they?" Barbara said jokingly.

"Two difficult saviors of New York." Bruce sneered coldly. After Lucy and Bucky left, he had no interest in oysters, so he generously gave up the $75 oysters to Barb La, "New situation, the clown has undergone mutant drug transformation and is now a mutant."

Barbara shook her hand, and the healthy oyster fell to the ground. Barbara felt very distressed.

"He can use laughter to spread fear, so we made this thing in one afternoon. We intercepted all the clown's laughter from previous videos, and summed up the waveform law, which can help us filter out laughter while listening other noises." Bruce threw the earplugs on the table, asked Barbara to put them away, and took them himself, "He's in the sewer under our feet, there's a sewer entrance behind the kitchen, I need to go in and look, find a Reason to evacuate the crowd here."

Before he got up, he saw a boy in a leather jacket—or a man, rushing in from the door. Jason Todd, his second son, would always be a boy in his eyes.

Jason sat down in Bucky's position just now, and looked at Bruce contemptuously: "Old man, I heard that you found the clown, I want you to stay away from him, so that you can avoid hurting myself When it comes to revenge, you still come to interfere with me."

Bruce blinked, poured an earplug out of his ear, and pretended he didn't hear anything: "What did you just say?!"

"Old man, you fucking actually made earplugs!!" Jason growled.

Jason and Bruce entered the sewer together. They put on their uniforms and sneaked carefully in the sewer. Tim reported the suspected location of the clown in their earphones. When they arrived, they only saw a steel container. The silver-green liquid inside exudes a faint light.

"Jason, run," Batman said.

Bucky catches up to Lucy, Lucy throws him off like an awkward kid, then Bucky pulls her again, Lucy finally can't take it anymore, she stops, and turns around twice: "Listen, Bucky, I don't care if you believe it or not..."

"I believe."

"I have absolutely no such relationship with Mr. Wayne. We are ordinary collaborators, but for some reason, I need to keep it a secret from you. Each of us has room to keep it secret... what?"

Lucy was still babbling on, and she froze.

Bucky smiled and hugged Lucy, who had an idiot expression on his face, and they began to stroll down the Gotham road as the night gradually fell. Bucky chattered in the tone of a Brooklyn bad boy: "Be mature, Lucy. The two of us Among them, I'm the master of love, you and Bruce Wayne have no chemistry at all, I have eyes. But I don't know why he still provokes me, but Gotham people seem to be a bit xenophobic."

Lucy thought, rolling her eyes, because you met the same person twice.

"I noticed that the jammer you used so often is gone." Bucky rummaged through Lucy's hair for the old silver hair accessory.

Lucy nodded, but at the same time she said worriedly: "I have mastered my ability, I'm just worried that it might be a little too powerful, it scares me..."

"You are afraid that because you have the ability, you will become another person." Bucky seemed to hear the voice in Lucy's heart, he bowed his head and kissed the top of Lucy's hair, "I will guarantee that will not happen Yes." He joked a bit wickedly, "If we really got that far, you should know that we still have handcuffs and ropes."

Lucy nudged Bucky shyly. She was about to respond to something when there was a sudden vibration under her feet, and Bucky obviously felt something. They saw the walls of the surrounding buildings start to shake sand.

"Run." Bucky looked at the winding cracks on the ground, and then gave Lucy a hard push, "Run, run!"

The potential of the super fighters was immediately brought into play. The two ran forward at the maximum speed of the human body, and red flames appeared under the broken asphalt road under their feet.

Can't run away.

The whole road was blown up by a heat wave, Bucky and Lucy were thrown into the air, Bucky grabbed Lucy's hand, threw her into a private house, hung himself on the fire frame, Lucy hit Broken glass, rolled around on the ground, and the house was collapsing, she grabbed the girl who was screaming at the sudden explosion in the house, grabbed her with both hands without hesitation, and jumped out from another window, Landed firmly on the ground: "Run south, don't stay here."

She told the frightened girl that the girl ran out in a panic before she even had time to cover her clothes.

Cracks start to appear in the building, and Lucy is horrified to see Bucky hanging from the fire grill as he falls and the whole building falls on top of him.

Lucy couldn't help covering her mouth.

She heard the frightening, crazy laughter that seemed to come from the deepest hell.

"Ha-ha-ha-"

The image of the clown appeared on every outdoor screen, in the TV display cabinet in the window, and even on the electronic billboard of the bus on the side of the road.

"Citizens of Gotham, hello, welcome to Scary Clown Paradise!"

Lucy's world was spinning, and she covered her ears to stop the laughter from pouring into her ears, but it didn't help, she felt herself sinking, and when she opened her eyes, she saw another world.

The Aegis aircraft carrier in the distance is floating in the air. She stands on a high place in the city. Looking from a distance, the whole city is dead silent.

"Lucy." Someone called her. Lucy turned her head, and the stairs spread into the distance before her eyes. Clark was wearing a uniform that was strange to her, a blend of black and white color blocks, and a white cape fell over his seat. On, Clark closed his eyes, as if listening to some small voice, "Did you see anything?"

"I……"

Without waiting for Lucy to answer, Lucy heard the same voice as her own, and she saw the back of Clark in the distance, on another chair that looked like a throne, the woman sitting was herself, and that "Lucy" stared at him. To the void, with an illusory smile on her face, she said, "The Rebels have nowhere to go, because I see everything."

Lucy backed away tremblingly, she came across a cold object, it was a glass cover, she looked up, weeping in horror: "No, it's not true, absolutely...it can't be true."

She patted the glass cover, the glass was frozen because of the low temperature, Bucky Barnes was lying inside like a specimen, not breathing, Lucy wanted to escape, she turned around, but saw her own face .

That Lucy gently raised her hand and stroked her cheek: "Don't be afraid, this is our future."

"No." Lucy shook her head, "I refuse."

"You shouldn't be here." A man strangled her from behind, nearly suffocating her. He pushed her from the tower, and when she was pushed out, she saw Steve. Rogers' face, the other's face was expressionless, frosty, and his blond hair was flying wildly in the wind, leaving her with an indifferent glance, and disappeared from the tower.

She was falling, and the ground was getting closer.

"Mind deception. This is the favorite trick of the mutants in the mind control department, and I like it too." Professor X's voice suddenly sounded, waking Lucy up like a basin of cold water, "People like us are best at One of the things I do is to build an imaginary world, firmly grasp your emotions, twist your will, let you immerse yourself in joy, pain, vanity, fear and forget who you are, and then— —”

Professor X snapped his fingers: "You are trapped forever."

"Lucy, you have to remember who you are, and you have to build your own world to fight against it!"

Lucy closed her eyes, fully mobilized all her senses, and began to build a new world in this world that frightened her.

Yes, I don't want that world.

Lucy stopped in the air, she was floating in the air, the Aegis aircraft carrier was in the distance, and the tall watchtower was behind her.

"The world shouldn't end like this."

Lucy said that her voice vibrated between the sky and the earth, the Aegis aircraft carrier began to tilt and fall, and black smoke rose from the watchtower.

"Humanity doesn't deserve this ending."

Lucy clenched her fist, and the Aegis aircraft carrier seemed to be pulled by a mysterious force. It folded from the middle and exploded in the air. The watchtower turned red, and Lucy felt her clothes changed. Dancing at her feet.

"Reshuffle!"

Lucy's eyes burst into incandescent light, and the terrifying world shattered into pieces like a mirror.

Lucy opened her eyes in a cloud of dust, and she returned to the real world. People were wailing and looking into the void, as if seeing something that made them despair.

The clown's laughter spread throughout the city, but it didn't bother Lucy anymore.

Lucy walked into the nearest shopping mall, pointed a camera towards her, and it started automatically. She mobilized her body perception to connect it to the Internet, and the real-time images could be transmitted to any screen in Gotham simultaneously.

"Clown, I'm Lucy Lang, just an ordinary citizen. Yes, I'm not influenced by you."

Lucy raised her chin, and she saw herself showing contempt in the camera.

"You want to use fear to drive away our yearning for a beautiful world, that's useless, my will is stronger than yours."

Under the influence of Lucy's consciousness, the TVs on the street and the outdoor billboards gradually turned into Lucy's face, and some clowns were still laughing wildly on some screens. The two images formed a strange confrontation .

"You are a poor wretch, you see us suffer, so you can enjoy, but our pain is just the most insignificant part of our life, we will never be overwhelmed by it, because we have hope, so we will not Living in fear."

The people on the street slowly calmed down, they wiped away tears, still in the aftermath of fear, but they realized it was fake.

"Our lives are complicated, we have laughter, we also have tears, and we can be overwhelmed by anger, but we can also use reason to correct behavior, and you, you don't have these, you only have pure evil, you can't control yourself. Clown, you're just a cripple."

Lucy frowned, and then seemed to have figured out something, and she even laughed, "You know, when I realized this, for the first time, I thought you were a joke, you are so funny! I Can't imagine that I was afraid of you when I saw the horrors you created, and through all the death and horror, I just suddenly realized that I am much stronger than you because I am whole."

She hugged her belly and laughed, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes.

"No, no, no, no!! You have no right to take away their fear!! Our fear!!" The clown roared, and he saw on the monitor that the screens in the whole city had been gradually occupied by Lucy's image.

"You are humble and pathetic, just like a speck of dust in this world, you can stay in a corner of the world, but you won't be able to stay for long."

Lucy said that she had locked the position of the clown himself. He was in a live broadcast room under Gotham TV's transmission tower. Face.

"You are being watched. (You are being watched)"
