[British and American Drama] Mental Correction

Chapter 53

Claire packed her luggage and was about to head to Gotham.

While waiting to board the plane in the waiting room, she squeezed the bag strap in her hand countless times.She didn't know how many times she wiped her sweat with a paper towel!

This feeling is extremely wonderful, she can feel her heart beating rapidly, which makes her feel dizzy.

Claire blinked.She took a deep breath and repeatedly told herself to calm down quickly... Then time seemed to be fast forwarded by someone, and when she really calmed down, she had already arrived in Gotham.

To be honest, the real Gotham is very different from what she imagined.

In Claire's imagination, this place known as the City of Sin is still the gray sky that has remained unchanged for decades, the huge dark clouds that are always suppressing the top of the head, and the dry air that cannot be illuminated by the sun.Here, the difference between rich and poor will always be stark.

There are countless robberies on the streets.When people walk on the road, their ears will be cut off by heavy locomotives coming from nowhere, and then they will take away the earrings stained with countless blood, and go away shouting as trophies.

Or a young, starving child standing in a crowd crying waiting for you to care about him and ask him why he is crying...and once you do, you will just fall into a coma and fall into a deep sleep .Then never wake up again.Your body, eyes, and organs will be transported to different underground stores, and you will be "rented out" temporarily at a nice price.

It is very likely that after a few days, they will appear in the store below in a similar or completely different form.

Claire shook her head, shaking off more bad impressions of this place in her mind.She hoped that it was enough for her to just remember the experiences of Sophie and Hill.

She looked out the window.

There was a clear blue sky to look at, without haze, almost deceivingly beautiful.The city seems to have regained its peace and quiet after many years.

Who is to blame for this?Is it the legendary Mr. Batman?Claire shook her head helplessly.So Hill... what role does he play in this city?

Claire decides to return to her old home.Unwilling to admit the almost absurd expectations in her heart, she went to the slum where they lived, but when she did arrive at the destination, she was overwhelmed with disappointment... This place has been abandoned.

This extremely remote corner compared to the city center has become an abandoned dead city with no one inhabited, and the old house they once lived in, the dilapidated house that trembled in memory as if it was about to collapse at any time, Finally, the foundation collapsed in the years of suffering.In 2003, 1989 years had passed since she met Hill in 14... and for Claire, only one year had passed since the last time they met, and for Hill, It was an extremely long 9 years.

At this moment, Claire finally faces up to the biggest gap between her and Hill, which is the uncoordinated time.

She was finally able to face up to the fact that the biggest obstacle between them was not her personal social barrier, or Hill's "evil" defined by the system itself.

What she was really afraid of was that Hill was no longer the one she loved, and even she couldn't see any shadow of him in him.And she herself...is she still the Sophie whom Hill loves?

If someone stood on the top of this building, they would wonder why in such a dead, lifeless place, there would be a young lady slowly squatting down facing an old building beyond recognition.She hugged herself so hard, as if doing so would give herself more courage.

When Claire sorted out her emotions, the sky still gradually turned dark.That means the dawn of Gotham has only just arrived.

She silently pulled out the dagger from her backpack, and loaded the bullets for her gun.Of course, Claire didn't forget to take off her mask.

Her face covered with scars will dispel the attention of some people because she is a woman, and of course avoid the possibility of being trafficked as a sex/woman... But this does not mean that Claire can relax his vigilance.In fact, as the sun gradually sets, she must get out of here as soon as possible!

When Claire returned to the hotel she had booked, the night had already enveloped the entire night.Fortunately, Claire, who has always been lucky, did not encounter any malicious gangsters who had plans for her on the first day of her trip to Gotham.

She lay quietly on the bed, the light quilt was soft and warm, and she relaxed her body and mind.

The thing that Claire thought about the most before falling asleep was where to find Hill tomorrow... Then, she decided that it might be better to go to the police station.

Claire got up early.She was wearing the lightest shorts and sneakers.The short hair is messy on the top of the head, the mental state is relaxed and casual, and the scars on the face are not hidden, but there are really too many weird people in Gotham... Maybe some people will regard her as a dangerous person and stay away from her, But it didn't put more pressure on Claire...

Probably because at least here, no one will hide behind her, and while looking at her, spread all kinds of unbelievable rumors about her.

The place where Claire lives is around the Century Building, which is located in the city center and can be said to be located in the most prosperous area in Gotham. As far as the police station is concerned, there are three within ten kilometers!Therefore, it can be said to be the safest place in Gotham.

Claire waits for her breakfast at the fast food restaurant.In fact, American fast food has no nutrition at all. They are full of meat, salad, cheese and various carbohydrates.However, Claire has long been used to this kind of food.With her uninterrupted training since puberty, all the fat has turned into solid muscle, covering up her seemingly thin body, surprising others when needed.

She thanked the clerk, and then the house trembled for a few seconds, and everyone in the fast food restaurant fell to the ground screaming, Claire standing up was particularly eye-catching.

She looked out of the window with confused eyes, and then walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows step by step. After school buses passed by one after another, she finally saw the source of the loud noise and vibration——

A bank dozens of meters away was knocked out of a huge hole by an unknown vehicle, and the perpetrators have disappeared.

Police cars arrive quickly, and [Boom! ], the bank located on the first floor of the Century Building uttered a dull explosion, and all the people who had not yet come and rescued there were declared dead.

Claire took a step back. In front of her were pedestrians and vehicles fleeing on the road, as well as the police who were at a loss and organized a very chaotic rescue.

Behind her, there were screaming customers and shop assistants kneeling and praying... This long-lost, direct confrontation with the evil made Claire's body tense and it was difficult to breathe.She felt helpless and bewildered...

"Who did it...?" Claire murmured.She cannot comprehend the evil of violence against ordinary people.

The lady closest to her showed a look of hatred: "Demons! Only demons can do such a thing! They will all go to hell! Go to hell!"

"Hush! Are you crazy? Do you want them to hear?"

"Yeah! Those guys wearing masks, how do you know if they will live around you after taking off the masks?!"

Claire was extremely confused: "Mask?"

Clerk A walked out of her counter after the situation was barely under control: "It seems that you are not from Gotham." She shook her head helplessly: "It's no wonder you don't know this... There are so many villains in Gotham, But the criminals who have been most active in the public eye in recent years are the group of guys wearing masks."

"There are so many of them, they are extremely vicious, and what they do is extremely vicious!" The clerk said, shaking her body in fear, so she quickly changed the subject: "In short, because of the appearance of these lunatics, those mediocre police officers They are even more incompetent!"

"Can no one catch him?" Claire wondered.

"Who can catch a person with a mask." The clerk shook his head helplessly: "Maybe Batman can, although he is also a criminal."

And when Claire was finally about to leave the room, the clerk suddenly sounded something to remind her: "Remember, girl~ If you meet a group of thugs wearing clown masks, you must try to escape, otherwise you will definitely die! "

"Clown?" Claire had to admit that she was very sensitive to this word!

"Yes, because their leader is said to be a weird and evil clown."

...................................................................................................

Claire ended up not going to the police station.After witnessing the mediocrity and inaction of the police, Claire gave up using the power of the police to find her lover who disappeared in the crowd, but she did not give up because of this.In fact, she thinks she already knows who Hill is...

He is the clown.

Just as the system once judged, Hill became the Joker, and at the same time became the [evil] of this world.It wasn't too unexpected in his heart, even Claire had imagined more horrible and terrible evil deeds about Hill.

Disappointment is inevitable.But thanks to all her experiences on the Titanic, Claire knows that the [evil] mentioned by the system is not absolute evil, and they have the opportunity to be influenced and changed.And without a doubt, Claire is more willing to believe that Hill, no, or the clown, can also be changed.

She wants to see Hill.

No one knows what efforts Clare has made almost without sleep in just two weeks.She collected all the evil deeds of the clown in the newspapers, news, and even files in recent years, observing, analyzing, and judging like masochistic nonstop.Then try to judge by the way he acts.

But no.irregular.

He was not bent on money, nor did he speak publicly or intimidate like other thugs, and he never even revealed his real motives.In fact, it seems to the Joker that he blows up a building just because he wants to do evil, he desires to do it, and maybe he just wants to spice up his boring life on a whim. Building, kill some people.

Such a person... would be Hill....

Claire shook her head. When night came, she took her own dagger, left the hotel, and wandered in all the dark alleys again.Then?

[Boom! ] The young man wailed in pain, and the black-haired woman grabbed her hair and hit the wall fiercely again, nosebleeds gushed out instantly!

"Are you very capable? Huh?" Claire rudely kicked the dagger that the man was holding in his hand a second ago to his feet, and his movements became more forceful because of his impatience.

"Tell me what you were trying to do, chick?" Her voice was surly, impatient with two weeks of futile searching.Claire satirized that the man in his hand was not as good as a woman, and quickly searched the whole body with the other hand, and then successfully took out nearly 20g of white powder and three packs of ecstasy.Well, there are two anesthesia needles.

She sneered.One of the anesthesia injections in his hand was quickly pushed out of the needle tube, and under the young man's terrified expression, he unceremoniously stuck the needle into his body!

The man let out a scream, and Claire quickly pulled out the needle without sympathy, and then stuck it into his back again——

"Let me go! Please let me go!"

"Tell me, where's the clown? Huh?"

"what?"

"Joker." Claire's tone was cold, thinking that this man had followed strange women in dark alleys countless times, kidnapped and sexually assaulted them after they were unconscious, and filmed certain "action movies" to sell money. Even giving them to cannibal demons or auctioning off organs... Claire just wished she couldn't hurt him more, and it's best to leave him with a great sadness that he can't recall for a lifetime!

At the same time, Claire no longer expects this man to provide him with information about the clown.And at this moment, he asked the other party to respond anxiously:

"If I provide information about the clown, you will let me go??"

Claire took a deep breath: "Yes, I assure you."
