[Zhongyingmei] The clown is actually me

Jack suddenly stood up from his chair, and said in shock, "How do you know about the Wall of Origin?"

The Wall of Origin is a place fictionalized by DC, and it is also known as the Wall of Soul.It is the boundary of the known universe, the most mysterious and powerful existence in the DC universe, guarding all incredible secrets and powers.The wall of origin is located in the Prometheus galaxy at the end of the universe. It is used to separate the multiverse universe from the omnipotent universe. It can be said that all the famous characters in the DC universe have a great relationship with the wall of origin. All the new gods and The old gods all use the wall of origin as the origin of their power, and it is also the destination they will reach after death, which is equivalent to the grave of the universe.

The wall of origin has another feature, that is, as long as everything in the universe touches the wall of origin, it will be firmly fixed on the wall, and will lose all memory and consciousness, and will never be able to move like a vegetable, not to mention Leaving, but the only benefit is that all characters pinned to the wall will no longer be affected by the universe reboot.This is the well-known stalk of DC fans: "pull to paste the wall",? This "wall" is the wall of origin.

In fact, for DC editors, the function of the Wall of Origin is more similar to that of a clothes hanger,? Which character is too strong? Adding him to the work will affect the balance of combat power and the progress of the comics,? The editor can’t control—— Here we specifically name the Supreme Superboy*—just hang him on the wall for balance, and then find a way to take it off when you need it.

(Supreme Superman: The main character of DC Comics "Crisis on Infinite Earths", with bug-level combat power,? Leading the big event Crisis on Infinite Earths,? Restarting the DC universe,? During this process, many events were affected by Superboy Supreme Deviation,? The most famous is that in the comics, Jason was killed by the clown and then resurrected and climbed out of the grave by himself,? However, this resurrection was later modified to be resurrected in the pool of Lazarus)

What shocked Jack was not that the clown knew about the wall of origin, but that the clown actually knew about the wall of origin at this time. You must know that he had just finished the plot of The Fall of the Knight not long ago, and Jason was still in the Batcave. The clown crowbar waits.The Justice League was just established not long ago, and it is in the initial stage of recruiting people everywhere. It is just a very loose civil alliance.Superheroes have not yet reached the point where their combat power expanded and they went to the universe to fight aliens and gods at every turn. They still stayed on the earth to guard their cities, falling in love with the destined villains.

Logically speaking, although the clown's popularity is the TOP1 villain in the American comics, it does not mean that his combat power is also the TOP1. Most of his activities are limited to Gotham City. Once the battle location of the Justice League and others rises to the entire universe Inside, his fighting power is not enough.This is why Luthor is played more often with the Justice League than the Joker. Luthor can at least open a mecha and kill the Quartet. Does the Joker want to use laughing gas bombs on aliens?

Now, even Batman doesn't know about the Wall of Origins, why would the Joker?

The clown lit a cigarette, took a puff slowly, and spit it out again. In the smoke curling upwards, he grinned, showing a strange smile, and continued to drop a thunderbolt: "Because I have crossed the path of origin." wall."

Jack felt that he was stunned for a full minute before slowly laughing: "How is it possible? You?"

How many new gods and old gods in the DC universe have not been able to cross the wall of origin. The Supreme Superman and the father of Darkseid have only hung on the wall. The only one who broke through the wall of origin is the god of origin. However, this later It was hung back, even the creator of the multiverse was imprisoned by the wall of origin, it feels like the hero of the full-level god costume lv. My slime jumped out of nowhere and said that you defeated him... so many buffoon characters can't do anything to the wall of origin, why do you, an ordinary human, say that you have crossed the wall of origin?

However, he couldn't laugh when he smiled and laughed, because he actually had an extremely weird feeling that the clown wasn't lying.He really did what none of the Gods New and Old Gods could do: He crossed the Wall of Origin.

Of course Jack knew what was behind the Wall of Origins: the Source.It is the original power that makes everything in the DC universe come into being, and it is also the answer to everything in this world.

Those who are not familiar with Meiman don’t need to know the detailed settings. In short, if you know just two words, you will be done.

Damn, this isn't funny at all.

If the clown really crosses the wall of origin, it proves that he is at least at the same level as the creator god.Just read the comic "Emperor Clown*" to see how the superpower clown will change the world.The clown in the comics has gained the power of a high-dimensional creature troublemaker, and uses the most twisted and perverted methods to transform the world.He is a hundred times more vicious than the black mud inside the Holy Grail, and his cruel methods will make readers feel physically uncomfortable.Change and enslave heroes as you please.He once turned Superman into a dog, and made the stars in the sky change into Harley. The most malicious thing is that he kept playing the game of killing and resurrecting Batman, driving the most powerful person in DC crazy, even Superman couldn't bear to look directly at this past, so he could only erase Batman's memory.

(*The author himself does not recommend this manga. It really makes people feel uncomfortable. It gives people the feeling that the editor is using the hands of the characters to spread malice, playing with heroes, pouring black mud and doing all kinds of torture operations, and finally playing big It’s not a very good circle after being hastily rounded. I can’t see the love and respect for the character)

Jack smiled unnaturally: "The wall of origin that even gods cannot cross, why can you cross it?"

"Because the wall of origin is not special, it is not something mysterious such as the origin of the universe. It is just a puzzle."

"Puzzle?"

"Yes, the puzzle is 'What is the world'?"

"If you're telling the truth, and you've solved the puzzle and crossed the wall of origin, what do you see behind the wall?" Jack casually stirred the soup in the bowl.

The clown didn't smile, his sour green eyes were like two floating bright spots: "The truth of this world."

"Well, I believe what you said is true. You have seen the truth beyond the wall of origin. Then you must be no different from the Creator God?"

The clown looks like an audience watching a comedian tell a bad joke, and a teacher patiently answering a child's whimsical question: "No, I don't have the power of the Creator God, I told you—Origin The wall is a riddle, before the riddle, strength, identity, and race are irrelevant, all that matters is the answer to the riddle."

Jack frowned: "You mean, as long as you know the answer, even humans can cross the wall of origin?"

"Yes, the wall of origin is not holy, it's just a lion with a human face. Knowing the answer, you can easily cross it, just like Oedipus, who guessed the right riddle and defeated the Sphinx , yet those gods new and old only thought of killing it by brute force."

"I believe your nonsense for now, so what is the answer?" Jack spread his hands, "You said you answered the riddle correctly and crossed the wall of origin, so what is the answer you gave?"

"This world is a joke, a piece of paper." The clown said slowly, Jack couldn't tell whether he had just made up his mind to say it, or if he had repeated it silently thousands of times, "A piece of paper with its front and back glued together The Möbius loop. We are Sisyphus, pushing the stone for eternity on this piece of paper. The stone will always roll down the hill, as if no matter where we go, we will eventually return to the same place. Heroes of this world There's no point in being with the villains, with everything they do."

Jack's heart suddenly burst - yes, this world is indeed a piece of paper, and the DC universe is just a comic in their world.Manga is printed on paper.

"You're using mysterious metaphors to evade the problem again." Jack turned his head, he didn't know who was evading the problem in his heart, "Don't you think your words are contradictory? Since everything is meaningless, why did you go back to your brother?" Tan, playing games with Batman non-stop?"

The clown was silent for a long, long time, and finally he fished out words from his throat, like a centenarian opening a drift bottle thrown into the sea at the age of 15: "I already know the truth of the world, but I still have a problem Unanswered, which is, 'Who am I'?"

"I'm a man, I'm a lunatic, I'm a concept, I'm a demon itself. I've considered every possibility, but all the options seem wrong. I live for Batman, I live for him I keep playing this old game with him, arguing with him day and night with guns and gasoline and bombs that I could give up everything to prove what I believe in, but I don't want to win, I don't want to lose, actually It doesn't matter who wins or loses. It's like Batman knows I can go back and forth and destroy Gotham ten, a hundred times, but I don't, maybe..." The clown is no longer smiling, that face that is exactly the same as Jack Presenting a strange rationality, Jack thought for a moment that he was facing himself in the mirror, "Maybe I just want someone to stop me."

Jack froze.

Worse than the clown's lies, he discovered, was that he was telling the truth.

"You..." Jack took a long time to sort out his words, "Are you not crazy at all?"

He once talked to Batman about the Joker, and he thought the Joker was crazy, but not to the extent that he acted crazy, he just pretended to want people to think he was completely crazy.But it was worse than he thought - the Joker might not be crazy after all.

The scariest lunatic in the DC Universe is a normal guy in his right mind, and damn it, what a joke with the Joker's eerie dark humor.

"That's the point of the joke, dear. The extreme of insanity is that you're not crazy at all." The clown smiled slyly, "It doesn't matter if I'm crazy or not, now I'm a split personality, and what's more important Yes, our good gentleman who is determined not to kill must stain his heart, help me hide this, because once it is known that the 'clown is not crazy', the immunity of the mental patient will no longer be valid, and he will be arrested with me put to death."

Jack said coldly, "You tied me with you and created the most extreme situation. That's why you kept me. I'm your hostage."

The clown smiled slightly: "Yes, dear. I just want to play a game. If the heroes choose to keep you, it means that they must ignore the blood and tears of those who died because of me. If they To kill us together is to shoot terrorists and hostages together in order to eliminate evil, no matter how the heroes choose, I will stain their hearts."

"You mean bastard."

"You love my meanness, don't you, or you wouldn't be here."

This sentence is really murderous, he almost pointed to the reason why Jack traveled through time, because he liked clowns, he shared his body with clowns through time travel, and because he liked clowns, he deserved to be tortured by clowns.Jack finally understands why so many people are swayed by the clown's talk, because he is too good at grasping the darkness deep in people's hearts and amplifying those selfish, despicable, secret, and malicious thoughts.When people's shame and self-esteem are slowly shattered by his words, they will involuntarily turn from guilt to approval, and finally those people will be coerced by clowns.

Jack said to himself deep down, don't believe him, don't feel guilty, don't feel "I deserve this".Because it's not wrong to like a virtual character that doesn't exist in that world.

"I thought I could save you."

"By 'rescue' you mean 'replace you with my own existence'."

"No, it's salvation."

"Impossible, honey, I'm a devil in a bottle."

Jack nodded, that's right - the clown is a devil in a bottle.In the first century of wandering at sea, he was determined to bring endless glory and wealth to those who saved him, but no one came to save him; Digging up all the treasures in the world, but no one came to rescue him; in the third century of wandering at sea, he thought that if someone came to rescue him, he would grant three wishes for that person, but still no one opened the bottle .Until the end, he swore to kill whoever opened the bottle.Because it's too late.

It's too late.

"When I picked up this bottle, I should smash it as soon as possible."

"You can smash it now too, I'll give everyone a chance." The clown smiled, and pulled out the revolver/gun that Jack brought back from the world of Conan as if by magic, he handed the/pistol to Jack, grabbed She held his hand, held the stock of the gun, and then pressed the muzzle between his eyebrows, between the two faint green pupils, "Now, as long as you pull the trigger, I will disappear, and this body belongs entirely to you. You. Nobody restricts your freedom anymore, you don’t have to take a lot of pills, wake up from nightmares, turn day and night, sleep-deprived, and fear me.”

The clown licked his lips and showed a plausible smile: "Now, shoot, dear."
