Chapter 246 Prey

All the chaos will eventually calm down, just like the farce that spread across the city a few days ago, and it will become normal after a few days.

And beneath all the calm, there will always be chaos hidden.

It's like Gotham today.

On the instant noodles, it is still feasting and feasting, trying its best to show its luxury.

Just like always.

However, there seems to be something different.

This can be reflected in the daily newspapers.

What dominates the headlines are no longer sterile headlines such as "Mayor's Search" and "So-and-So Building Completed".

But gradually, it was replaced by some interesting events.

Robberies in alleys, bodies found in the early morning, explosions in the suburbs at midnight.

These things come and go and seem to have become an embellishment of this city full of Gothic style.

Well, these are all understandable, and there are some that are not so easy to understand.

It was as if a person was found completely frozen into ice on the street, or a poor guy was suffocated by a few vines that came out of the soil. The traffic lights on the road changed inexplicably. It became a green question mark, and someone saw a cat-like figure crawling between the buildings.

All kinds of strange phenomena appeared in Gotham, as if something was flowing out from under the gorgeous coat, exuding a weird smell that was getting stronger and stronger.

As early as possible, a new headline seemed to appear in Gotham Daily.

a person died

Laughed to death.

Although this sounds ridiculous, the photo of the deceased at the bottom of the newspaper makes people believe it.

The man was indeed smiling. His facial muscles were spasming, pulling the corners of his mouth upward at an incredible angle. His ferocious eyes were bloodshot. He was staring straight at him like he would never close his eyes. Everyone who sees this photo.

This naturally included Harley Quinn, who was reading the newspaper.

She held the newspaper tightly in her hand, and with her other hand, she gently touched the dead face that was distorted by a smile in the photo. Her eyes, which had never had any real emotions, turned out to be because of this terrifying photo. , showing a trace of emotion.

"finally found you."

Gotham City's North Side.

Like all old urban areas, it still retains the glorious buildings of half a century ago, the popular business district, and the spacious roads. Well, these comments are all from residents over fifty. Well, now there are only a large number of old buildings left here. It would be a pity to bulldoze them, but there is no use if they just stand like this. They are just like the elderly residents who are unwilling to leave, clinging to the scenery of their youth. Don't let go, but other than giving you courtesy and respect, others actually don't take you seriously at all.

And right in this area, there was the largest amusement park in Gotham at that time.

Listen clearly, I'm talking about that year

Now it is a "junk dump" that only a few people visit all year round.

There are weeds everywhere and rusty playground equipment. The roller coaster is in disrepair and the carousel consumes too much power. The last time it was powered on was three months ago.

These things are piled on the ground like they are lingering. Speaking of it, it seems that this place is worse than a garbage dump. At least the garbage dump does not charge rent.

But today.

This amusement park is unexpectedly brightly lit. The director has turned on all the movable facilities and lights here. Taking a casual look, one might even think that the amusement park has returned to its former glory.

Of course, all this is just an illusion.

This illusion is for a person who has something wrong with his brain. This person is a lunatic and a fool. In short, he is definitely not a normal person.

After all, how could a normal person come up with the idea of ​​buying such a dump.

Under the Ferris wheel, the dense lights make people's eyes hurt.

Two people stood side by side under the light.

Among these two people, one is the director of this amusement park and the other is the madman.

He was wearing a purple top hat and a wrinkled purple dress. He was carrying a gentleman's crutch that looked high-end but looked dirty. With two mismatched socks exposed, this person can feel the weirdness coming from just one glance at the outline.

Moreover, this is without looking at the face.

The director didn't want to look at this person's face, because at first, the director tentatively glanced at the sharp chin under the brim of the other person's hat. Then, the obviously sickly pale complexion made him feel psychologically. An inexplicable feeling of panic.

To be honest, if this person was not the only fool who wanted to buy the entire amusement park in the past five years, the director would definitely kick him out in the first second.

"What do you think?" the principal said expectantly.

"Hey hey hey." The man let out a sharp laugh, as if his throat had been burned out by something: "Why do you always take me around this area? Don't tell me... Is the place even more dilapidated than this one?"

"How... how is it possible?" the principal immediately retorted, but his guilty conscience was beyond words.

"Ah ha ha ha -" the man seemed to be smiling even more happily: "I like people like you. You are a fool who knows his lies can be exposed easily, but still has no self-awareness at all."

The director swallowed unnaturally. He was wondering whether he should beat this guy up if he didn't buy this place in the end.

"Ah, ah, ah, you must be thinking, if I don't buy this place in the end, you will definitely have to beat me up."

"No. I don't have such thoughts."

"Oh, that's good." The man still said in a weird accent: "Actually, this place is so bad that I can't possibly buy it."

"What!" The principal frowned: "Did you come all the way here just to make fun of me?"

"Ah hahahaha——Look, I have already said that you are not suitable for lying. Now I have added another one, that is, you are really easy to lie."

He suddenly burst out laughing for no apparent reason, seemingly to the point where his stomach hurt and he had to bend down.

The director looked at the other person with a puzzled expression. He didn't even know why the other person was smiling.

"Haha-ha-well, it's nice here."

The man finally regained his breath and said, then stretched out a hand to shake hands.

"So, let's make a deal."
