[Zhongyingmei] The clown is actually me

Jack didn't think of his mother very often.

He still remembered that when he pushed open the door of his mother's room when he was a teenager, his mother was wearing an emerald green velvet dress, and her long crimson hair like a sunburst fell down the contours of her neck and shoulders like a waterfall.The robe was blown up by the evening wind, and a slender figure could be vaguely seen under the nightgown.She lowered her head and remained silent for a long time. She stretched out a hand as white as suet. Those hands were slender and clean, and she was holding a red rope with several golden bells tied on it.The golden bell keeps ringing in the evening wind, ethereal and unpredictable, like the evening wind from another generation.

Sensing her son's arrival, the woman turned her head, stood up slowly, and opened her arms to her son. She was flying and bright like a butterfly in a waterfall of bright light.Jack caught her eyes, a pair of pale gold pupils as bright as stars.

As if going back many years ago, Jack turned back into a child again, standing outside the ward, looking at his mother through a glass.The beautiful woman sang an ancient song, shaking her body unconsciously as she sang, and the delicate skirt unfolded during her movements, like a beautiful flower slowly blooming.Jack didn't say a word, a pair of adult men's hands rested on his shoulders, pressing him down heavily, like a colorful dream being dragged to the ground by the gravitational force of reality, he heard a voice from behind, called Father's man's voice.

"Keep away from your mother," said the father, stating calmly, "She's crazy."

total darkness.

Jack was in a dream, and he knew he was dreaming.

What appeared in the dream was a dark corridor without any decoration, dilapidated as if it had been abandoned for a hundred years.From the end came a hollow laugh, cold and high-pitched, like the brimming brimstone of hell.

He stood there for a while, in a daze, and walked forward, like a walking dead.

The silver-like moonlight poured down on his head, and there was silence everywhere, only the heels of his leather shoes knocked on the ground, and there was a clear and crisp sound.After walking for an unknown amount of time, he finally came to the end of the long corridor. It was a tightly closed iron door covered with a huge mechanical lock. On the wall was a half-rusted brass doorplate, which read a string of Number: 801.

This door is covered with creepers and moss, and there are small green shrubs growing at the corners, and unknown wildflowers swaying slowly.The iron latch hanging on the door was rotten, and it wobbled in front of the door. Jack held the doorknob, but at the moment when the door was about to open, the cold and hard metal stabbed him, and he suddenly fell out of the dream. After waking up, he moved his palm away like an electric shock, took a few steps back trembling, and fell to the ground.

There was a light in the room, and the yellow light came in from the gap at the bottom, shining brightly on his eyes.The light inside was blocked by something, a pair of well-polished leather shoes.The person outside the door was standing close to the door. This discovery made Jack's hair stand on end. If he had opened the door just now, he would have had a face-to-face with the person outside the door immediately, and his breath would be entangled.

Jack's legs were trembling, and he sat against the wall of the corridor, hugging himself in fear, shivering.He didn't know why he was so scared, let alone who was inside the door, but he had an intuition that through the gap in the door, he smelled the breath of hell gushing out, it was sulfur, blood and a touch of cedar The smell of perfume, accompanied by a cold, vicious laugh.The sealed man stared at him coldly with those horrible acid green eyes through a door.It wasn't anyone he knew, not even a "person."He is a guy more terrifying than the devil. Once this door is opened by himself, he will face the devil and the whole hell.

At this moment, there was a soft sneer from inside the door, and the man's voice was strange, and it entered Jack's ears like a ghost: "My dear, have you ever danced with the devil under the pale moonlight?" (Darling ,?have?you?ever?danced?with?the?Devil?in?the?pale?moonlight)”

(Note: "have? you? ever? danced? with? the? Devil? in? the? pale? moonlight", directed by Tim Burton, the movie "Batman" released in the United States on June 1989, 6 ", the classic lines of the Joker played by Jack Nicholson, known as the "King of Oscars". In the movie, the young Joker is the murderer who shot and killed Batman's parents. The companion robs and kills Bruce's parents, and ends up saying to the young Batman "Did you ever dance with demons in the pale moonlight, kid")

Then, the door was opened and Jack saw his face.

It would be a lie to say that it wasn't scary, Jack woke up completely in a flash.

He wanted to vent his screams, but before he could yell out, a series of cold reminders filled his brain, forcing him to swallow back the screams that rose to his throat.

Hearing this series of somewhat familiar system prompts, Jack burst into tears inexplicably.

The legendary Goldfinger finally arrived. Immediately, he will be able to eat, drink, lie down and become stronger, punching Metropolis and kicking Gotham City's Long Aotian Road. Thinking about it, I am still a little excited.

He looked around, this is a circular cell, the cell walls have been modified, only the thick cushioning cotton is bulged to prevent prisoners from committing suicide.There are monitors at all four corners, and there is a small door leading to the toilet in the corner. There are two doors at the door, one is tempered glass as thick as a Xinhua dictionary, and the glass door has only a few rows of air holes the size of a bowl. Outside is an extremely heavy iron door. In front of the door are several of the thickest and heaviest old-fashioned mechanical locks. Each of the criss-crossing bolts is as thick as a man's arm. There is no window on the door, and the outside can be faintly seen from the bottom of the room. Stands in two soldier's boots.

There are classical and heavy black cherry wood tables and chairs in the room. On the table are scattered books, drawings, and some old and damaged toys, desk calendars, combs, lipsticks, messy plastic parts, clockwork teeth, and broken music boxes. Open medicine bottles and scattered pills of various colors, paper toy firecrackers with smiling faces, and Batman's small rubber keychain.There is a fish tank in the corner of the wooden table, in which small red fish swim, and next to it is an oriental-style white porcelain soft plastic vase, with some rosemary, sage and lavender randomly inserted.

The black shelf next to the table is full of books of various colors, German, French, English, Latin, Spanish... There are so many beautiful things in sight but they are neatly placed and well preserved, and there are very few books with curled edges. , it is obvious that the owner has a hobby of collecting books.

...Wait, where am I?

Jack squinted to see a string of characters under the iron gate: 801.

His eyes darkened.

No need for any map interface, the system prompts, he is now in Arkham Asylum!
