"The Mayor's Speech: A Great Triumph for Arkham Asylum? A Year Without Clowns in Gotham"

For the past few years, the people of Gotham City have been living in the shadow of the Joker, a psychopathic green-haired maniac who seems to have demonic powers,? Playing with everyone in the city with ease? People trembled amid the laughter in the middle of the night, GCPD was completely powerless to face this madman,? We can only hope that the vigilante hiding in the dark will save us.However, even after his heinous crimes, his twisted brain still saved him, every time he slipped away from the law's knife with ease, and was sent to Acre over and over again Mu Lunatic Asylum for treatment,? Then ghostly back to Gotham, causing great physical and psychological trauma to people.

However,? He is not some kind of legend,? Not an invincible demon, nor a curse that has haunted the dark places of Gotham since its birth, he is just a particularly deranged criminal.Since Arkham Asylum renovated its security equipment last July with huge funding from the Wayne Group, this buffoon who once brought great terror to the people of Gotham has never managed to escape,? Nearly a year has passed, Gotham City There is no more laughter, the crime rate and the number of gas victims plummeted, and the famous crime capital is welcoming the dawn of order.The mayor of Gotham City solemnly promised that the clown will be imprisoned in the deepest part of the Arkham Asylum for life to atone for the crimes he committed, and that he will never be able to breathe fresh and free air.

Jack put down the "Gotham Daily Morning News" in his hand.

Time flies,? From June last year to November this year, it has been a year and a half since I became a clown in the blink of an eye.In addition to eating and sleeping during this year, he just learned some skills from books. Therefore, after studying at Arkham University for 35 months, except for some skills that cannot be upgraded and are useless, most of the others are useful. For example, skills such as escape, surveillance, poisoning, assassination, lockpicking, hypnosis, sniping, hand-to-hand combat, spy skills, etc. have all reached level 48 and above, and mathematics, chemistry, biology, engineering and other subjects have passed level [-].

Speaking of the surprise box - Jack really wants to complain, it would be good if one useful thing can be opened out of ten boxes of this thing, most of the others are "useful, but not completely useful" garbage, for example, from this morning "How to Shampoo Your Hair Upside Down and Wear Underwear," "Recipe for Making Cookies Taste Like Mint Toothpaste and Mustard," "Two-Faced Man's Silk Pajamas"—who the hell would want that? hell!

But occasionally there will be golden legends, such as the gadget he pulled out half a month ago:

Special add-on: Cain's Cross (Legendary · Awakened):

Effect of using this item:

1. Speed? 38, Intelligence? 55

2. Passive characteristics: absolute rationality.Abandoning the influence of all emotions, you will cross the limits of human reason and think about the world in the way of gods or demons.The positive emotions brought to you by others (such as touch, warmth, love) will be reduced by 80%, and the negative emotions brought to you by others (such as pain, ridicule, anger) will be reduced by 95%. When you carry this item, your Sanity Will be fixed and will never drop again, this effect ignores sanity cap, the effect disappears when the item is removed

Item introduction: My punishment is too heavy, more than I can bear.Behold, today you drive me out of this land, so that I will hide from your presence; I will be a wanderer on the earth, and everyone who finds me will kill me. *

Instructions for use: Carry it, use it as a bracelet, brooch, necklace, glasses chain, whatever, put it on and never take it off.

This thing can ignore the reduction of sanity limit.

For example, Jack's current sanity limit is 385. He equips this cross and puts on the deadly joke suit. The deadly joke suit reduces his sanity limit. Suppose it is reduced to 280. The cross can ignore this reduction and make him Its san value is always set at 385, which is higher than the upper limit. When you wear it, it will always be fixed at the same level as your sanity.But its negative effect is that the feeling others give him will be greatly reduced. However, after the effect disappears, the sanity value will be reduced to 280. It is impossible to be higher than this, so it cannot be taken off after wearing it. Once off, the fixation effect is lost until Jack puts it back on.

Nothing so dangerous, Jack thought.

But you still have to bring it with you. How can you just throw away the sans artifact and use it for ashes? It’s a big deal to smoke something later to eliminate the negative effects.

Jack dropped a stack of the Gotham Daily Morning Post on the table, put down a pile of letters with different names, and picked up a colorful flyer that came with the mail from the post office.He couldn't see these things before, but for more than a year, he kept his own law and order, and Arkham Asylum's supervision on him was gradually relaxed. Sometimes, after approval, he could get some things that he couldn't get before, such as old-fashioned camera.Arkham threw these toys to him in the same manner as throwing a ball of yarn to a cat, and the purpose is probably the same as that of a cat owner: to hope that the cat can concentrate on the toys and be quiet for at least a while.

But they will never give the clown his freedom.The clown is the most terrifying criminal in the history of Gotham. Even if the mental illness has been effectively controlled, it is impossible to release the clown to the society. He will be imprisoned in the Arkham Asylum for life.

However, Jack held the flyer that said "A new amusement park is about to open", and a thought flashed through his mind:

I really want to go out and play.

Jack lit a cigarette and began to think about the possibility of breaking out from Arkham.He thought it was normal for him to have this idea. In fact, it took him eighteen months to have this idea, which surprised himself.It turned out that he could endure loneliness more than he imagined, but no one wants to be locked in a narrow cage for a year and a half or even longer.I didn't have this idea before because Gotham City is too dangerous, it can be called a copy of hell in the superhero world. Of course, he, a rookie who just came out of Novice Village, can't play well. It's quite high, he can make psychotropic drugs himself, as long as he keeps a low profile, he should be fine to live.

However, the most difficult thing to deal with when escaping from Arkham Asylum is not the security system consisting of shackles, landmines, high-voltage electricity, moats, watchdogs, special forces, and infrared scanners, but the bat hidden underground in Wayne Manor .

Jack didn't have the confidence not to leave any evidence for the other party and hide it from the world's greatest detective.As long as there are some traces, Batman can come after him like a ghost, end his short life of freedom, and throw him back to Arkham.Jack never doubted his unselfishness. Although he developed a little friendship with Batman in the past year and a half, it didn't mean that Batman would bend the law for his own benefit.

So from the very beginning, give Batman a fallacy.Batman will definitely catch up to him, but thinking in the wrong direction can at least buy a little time for Jack's free life.

a month.Go out for a month and come back.

The palm-sized contact lens case slipped out of Jack's sleeve, he opened it, and there were two green contact lenses floating in the clear care solution.

Fourteen hours later.At two o'clock in the morning the next day, the underground of Wayne Manor, the Bat Cave.

"Master Bruce, if you can lie down and rest now, your average sleep time this month will rise to 4.5 hours." Alfred said his cold joke while holding a silver plate as always.

A year ago, Bane broke into Wayne Manor and broke his tailbone. He was dying, and Bruce had to take him to the best doctor in the metropolis for an operation.He survived the surgery, but his tailbone became brittle and he has never been able to sit for long periods of time.

Alfred is Batman's most important assistant. After this incident, it is difficult for him to sit in front of the Batcomputer all night to help Bruce as before.At the beginning, Batman was in a hurry because of this. Barbara offered to interrupt her studies and come back to help him, but he refused.Jason, as Robin, Batman's assistant, spent less time acting with him, and instead sat in front of the bat computer, operating the computer unfamiliarly under Alfred's guidance.To be honest, Jason has no talent in logistical work, and he once complained that if he didn't go out on night patrol, he would get rusty.

Batman needs a new assistant, he thought as he replied, "What about tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow at 08:30, the Wayne Group has a board meeting, and I need to wash it for you—"

At this moment, the bat computer screen lit up, showing a huge bat logo. After the logo flashed a dazzling red light for a few times, the screen went off automatically, and a picture with a clown hat popped up. Man smiling.Batman hadn't seen this card for more than a year, so when it reappeared, he felt a rare strangeness, and was dazed for a few seconds.But soon, the warning sound from the bat computer and the unwavering mechanical sound woke him up: "Special warning, there is a riot in the Arkham Asylum."

"...clown?" Alfred was also a little unbelievable.

The information report submitted by the Arkham Asylum was quickly displayed on the electronic display screen. It was a very blurry surveillance video. The man in the video slowly walked out of the dark place, stood at the corner of the corridor, stared at the camera with his head raised, his face Batman wore that familiar, diabolically secretive, malevolent grin.On that face that was as pale as death, two green eyeballs, like seaweed floating on the water, swirled in deep swirls.

Batman saw him put a finger up on his lips, and said silently with his lips: "Mr. Good is asleep, and Mr. Bad is now."
