[Zhongyingmei] The clown is actually me

He woke up from a drowsy dream, and the blooming roses squeezed into his eyes, like beautiful girls, crowded together lively.

White pea flowers climb along the thorn vines, unknown weeds protrude from the gaps in the fence, covered with crystal dew, gently swaying in the fragrant evening wind, teasing passers-by pace.

The silvery white moonlight rippling like water waves, cut into pieces by the carved flower stand, the dark blue sky contains wet moisture, presenting a velvety texture, birds chirping and chirping, a little sourness remains in the wind The rich fragrance of the sky, the thin Cebu has slowly risen from the grass,? Reminds him of London that only appears in his dreams.

The dim light illuminated the small attic, and the person in front of him was a clown, who was still sitting on a chair, with two steaming cups of black tea in front of him.A head of black-green hair, which hasn't been cut for a long time,? Keeps it very long,? Covers the entire nape of the neck.In just one moment, he closed his eyes and opened his eyes, as if he had changed the world, the clown changed from healthy to weak, his face was pale, his lips were extremely light in color, and there was dense sweat on his forehead.

Jack stood up. The attic was full of owls at some point. Those round-faced birds peeped at him, making "cuckoo" sounds one after another.Immediately afterwards, the sound of the midnight bell shook the entire attic. The grandfather clock in the attic made a loud bang, which completely shattered Jack's brief dream. He looked up and saw that the hour and minute hands on the ground were perfectly stacked together— —It is twelve o'clock at midnight.

"What do you remember?" The clown picked up the black tea and took a sip.

"I fell asleep?" Jack couldn't understand. In just a blink of an eye, the time jumped from afternoon to midnight, as if a video tape of memory had been roughly cut.

"No, you didn't fall asleep, it's just midnight, and Cinderella's magic has expired, so you should wake up too." The clown didn't show any surprise at his sudden weakness.He made a gesture, and the closed door of the attic was opened. Jack felt a huge and incomparable suction force, which was pulling him to the open door, as if what opened was not a door, but a black hole.There was nothing outside the door, just a bright glow.

"What do you know, clown, what do you know?!" Jack yelled in irresistible gravity, "You know what's going on, don't you, tell me! What's wrong with my memory!"

The clown looked at him. Amidst the owl's cooing, he seemed to be smiling or sneering.His facial features were tangled and wrinkled together, showing an expression that was not human at all, like pity and contempt, mixed with various expressions on that face, it looked like a huge colorful whirlpool.Finally his lips curled into an expression Jack could understand, the only familiar expression—sneering.

"I have nothing to tell you. Go ahead and glue your wings with wax; go to the world and see the sun." The clown waved his hand.

The moment before falling out of the gate.Jack called, "Please, clown, tell me."

The clown didn't seem to expect that he would plead, he was taken aback for a moment, his smile faded for a moment, and he answered the wrong question: "Think about it yourself, your system shows 1/2, not 2/3."

"System prompt: You have reached the anchor point of time and space in the original world, and there is no major deflection. Welcome back."

Back in the world of Batman again, Jack opened his eyes.The clown is gone, the attic is gone, everything is like a dream.He's still locked up in Arkham Asylum, and judging by his hunger, he hasn't been gone for very long.

Because it is a novice task, the difficulty is not high, and the rewards are generous. This trip was very pleasant. Not only did I complete the task, but I also teased Conan, and I had a great time.That guy Conan is probably still in trouble now, thinking that his identity was discovered by the black organization, but he didn't expect that Jack was just using the name of the organization to tease him.

Jack previewed the two knives in the system space. The shape of the letter opener was somewhat similar to a table knife, but more slender.Salome's silver makeup knife is blue and white, dark and matte, with a straight blade, a poisonous snake with a mouth coiled around the handle, a pair of triangular eyes vivid, sharp fangs biting the blade shiningly, the classic prismatic pattern is like countless intertwined Snake eyes, strange and strange at the same time with a mysterious beauty.

Jack opened the system interface, and looked at the things in the last two grids: a golden left/wheel/hand/gun, and a seemingly ordinary CD.

He guessed right, things from other worlds can be brought over.Although it is still unclear what the number or physical limitations are, such as bringing magic items back to a world without magic, whether the properties of the items will have some distortion or folding; In a world without this element, will he undergo fission according to the physical rules of the world, and eventually collapse into one of the original elements of the world...

In short, there are still too many things to explore.

As he thought about it, he clicked on the two item bars to preview.

Special add-on · Sherlock Holmes' left/wheel/hand/gun (non-native world item · common)

Item introduction: An ordinary left/wheel/hand/gun, designed by the American Colt in 1835, can only be loaded with six bullets, and the ammunition is manually loaded, which is very powerful.But because it was a product of 100 years ago, the recoil is also extremely amazing.

Instructions for use: not recommended

Special add-on · artificial intelligence "Noah's Ark" (non-native world item · rare)

Item introduction: The artificial intelligence developed by the genius boy "Hiroki" can find someone in the online world to grow independently, and the growth rate is five times that of human beings.

Instructions for use: Not recommended until a countermeasure is found

Well, the description is very general.The two special add-ons brought from the world of Conan are not particularly useful. It would be wonderful if the growth skill of Noah's Ark had no upper limit, but it also means that Noah's Ark may become an infinitely expanding online world. Monsters, if no special means are used to restrict them, about 20 years later we will be able to see the story of the Omnic Crisis and the eradication of human beings by artificial intelligence to take over the world.Now that he has decided to be a good citizen, it is better to use it cautiously after finding countermeasures for such things that may endanger human society.If he accidentally punctures the entire universe, he will be nailed to the pillar of shame for the rest of his life and cannot turn over. How can he complete the task and go home as soon as possible, his wife and children are hot on the bed.

However, the most important thing is not this.

Jack frowned and licked his lips. That's right, what the clown said at the time woke him up. The task released by the system is described as follows: Let anyone trust you, believe that you have changed your mind and stopped doing evil, and the following is 1/2, not 2/3, in the eyes of the system, either he and the clown are the same person, or one of him and the clown doesn't believe that they are independent at all.But what made Jack feel weird was that he was poisoned by fear gas. When he saw the clown, he felt that the clown was not lying.

So……

No, don't think about it, it's just a dream.Speaking of wife, Jenny... How is she doing in her original world?

She doesn't have a job and is pregnant. She has some savings in her bank card, which is enough for her to live comfortably for several years. But as a pregnant woman, will she be embarrassed?Will she be heartbroken by Jack's disappearance and affect her body?If she went back a little late, would she forgive herself for disappearing for so long?

Chaotic questions flooded into Jack's mind. Since childhood, everyone said that he has a calm personality and is calmer than ordinary people, but no matter how calm a man becomes a husband and father, when facing his beloved wife and children, Will be at a loss, and cautious.

Jack's memory of his previous life stays at the moment before time travel.He remembered that he came home from get off work and bought some potatoes and beef, preparing to cook beef brisket with potatoes for his pregnant wife.He still remembered his wife's slightly rough fingers, the ring on her ring finger, his wife's gentle voice, her blond hair that was always coiled behind her head, and her white nape that was exposed.The next thing that came to mind was how they were married.The bride in a pure white wedding dress stood beside him. The bride was wearing snow-white lace gloves. Under the plain white layered veil, he could vaguely see a head of fluffy and curly blonde hair that was almost whitish, and her skin was like fresh snow that fell in early winter. white.

…Have you ever had…domestic violence against your wife?

Do not!I don't!

Jack shouted deep in his heart, and suddenly a thought flashed through his mind: the dream he had in the safe house, couldn't it be... the clown's memory, right?
