Chapter 543 The Reason for Everything

This is a bit like a satire. Everyone is wearing clown makeup, but no one knows who the clown is.

But Paco knew.

He has experienced the era of clowns and various superheroes, and at the same time, he also knows what a terrible guy this man who was named a god really is.

Therefore, Parker has never mentioned anything about the 'Joker' to others. After all, if everyone knew that the totem painted on his face turned out to be a heinous, crazy and terrifying existence, then the last remaining person in the world would be These people will probably collapse immediately.

But Harley Quinn didn't care about this. When she heard that a person who looked like a 'Joker' was walking on the surface, she became excited.

"Oh, God, it's him, it must be him!" she shouted: "I knew when I came into this world that my little pudding must still be alive."

Quinn was jumping up and down and fell into a self-pleasure mode again.

But Ziliang frowned again.

Because what Parker said was very different from what he knew.

"I know you will come back. In fact, I have already been unable to hold on any longer. We are almost running out of food and space. The oldest group of survivors have long since died. The children in my heart have begun to Gradually they adapted to this era. They had no way to receive systematic education and were malnourished. In fact, they felt that they should live in this small space. They began to fear that the outside world would continue like this. After I die, this world will It's all over." Parker said sadly: "But fortunately, you are here, you are here to save the world, right."

No one knows what Parker has been carrying over the years, but it is obvious that he has grown into a character who dares to shoulder pressure beyond his ability.

Falcone said that he has a good eye for people, and it seems that he is not bragging.

"Wait a minute." Ziliang raised his hand and interrupted Parker: "There are still many things that I don't understand. For example, when I left this world 30 years ago, I clearly remembered that Gotham City All the villains in the film have been frozen, but when I came to this world again, I met many people. These people should be dead, but they were so alive that they almost killed us."

Indeed, if this world is the Gotham that Ziliang came to last time, then people like Thalia and the Mad Hatter should be dead. They are all buried in Arkham Asylum. In the basement, Ziliang had seen the freezing warehouses with his own eyes and confirmed them with a compass.

Parker shook his head.

"I don't know what's going on with this problem, but I'm sure that they were all caused by Bruce Wayne. In the first few years, I took risks and sneaked into the ruins of Arkham Asylum, but those All the freezers have been emptied, and all the bodies have disappeared.”

"Disappeared?" Ziliang frowned: "Did Batman in this plane have the means to resurrect others?"

Suddenly, he seemed to remember something. Just a few days ago, Superman knocked on the door of his small hospital.

But at that time, he was not wearing his red and blue jersey, but an office suit.

Moreover, he also denied that he was 'Superman' and instead emphasized that he was 'Clark Kent'.

"Yeah, it's interesting." Ziliang held his chin and said thoughtfully: "Okay, let's put this question aside for now, then the next question is, what is going on with the space movement in the church, and why did you make people walk out when you photographed them? After the surface, I was not discovered by the satellite positioning system? Did you know? I was the only one who was chased and beaten along the way, and my ribs were broken at least forty times!"

Ziliang shouted in displeasure.

When Parker heard the word 'more than forty times', he couldn't help but swallowed.

"These were all done by Lucius Fox. You know, he was the technical advisor to the Wayne Group. In fact, almost all the equipment in Batman's hands came from him. In Bruce Wayne's transformation from Gordon When he separated from the director's personality and put on the shirt for the second time, Lucius Fox had already foreseen what kind of path the world would take, so he found me at that time!"

"you?"

"Yes, it was just me, because at that time, almost all the underground forces in Gotham were already ruled by me."

"Huo, you are really not a simple boy." Ziliang said.

Parker shook his head and continued his explanation: "At that time, Mr. Lucius Fox came to me. In fact, he originally hated a dark side character like me because his parents died in a fight between different forces. However, he told me that the world is in danger and he does not have the ability to save the world. Of course, I do not have the ability to save the world, but I have the ability to bring people together, so I can pass on the fire of hope. Go down."

"At that time, he said to me - 'I hate you, but I beg you to let this world survive for a while longer.' After that, he gave me some strange equipment that was originally intended for Batman, For example, the space transfer device, or this small light that can block satellite detection signals."

As he spoke, Parker took out a small pen-like thing from his arms, which kept flashing.

"Can this thing prevent satellites from monitoring you?"

Parker nodded: "Yes, because those extraterrestrial satellites were made by Mr. Lucius Fox, so he naturally has the ability to block them. It is precisely because of this that the church, this castle, and Only the soldiers I usually send out to find survivors can survive.”

Ziliang nodded: "Okay, I know that guy. If you give him some iron sheets, he can usurp an aircraft carrier for you. If the sins in his body weren't up to par, I wouldn't have wasted so much effort. Looking for Mr. Jigsaw."

"What did you say?" Parker asked without quite understanding.

"Oh, it's nothing, just complaining." Ziliang said: "Then the question is, since he can make so many powerful devices, why doesn't he build a factory by himself to deal with Batman? It should have this kind of strength.”

"He did, but he died."

"died?"

"Yes, after giving all these things to me, Mr. Lucius Fox committed suicide."

"Huh?" Ziliang couldn't help but wonder.

"He said that although his existence can improve the quality of life of the survivors, it also increases the risk of the world being completely wiped out. Because as long as he lives, Bruce Wayne has a chance to find himself, and if he gets If he loses himself, then he must have a hundred ways to make himself his 'technical advisor' again. By then, there will be no hope in this world."

"Between a better life and the possibility of avoiding greater damage to the world, he obviously chose the latter. After he dies, Batman's technological dominance will stagnate. This is his The last and best contribution I could make to this world. After that, he died. I put the gun into his hands with my own hands, and then watched him pull the trigger. The last words he said to me were --Thanks."

Ziliang was silent for a while. At the end of the world, some people ripped Shanmei's face apart, while some people were just the opposite. He had seen this kind of thing many times, but every time he felt a little bit sad.

"Well, Mr. Lucius Fox is an interesting person. If I have the opportunity to see him in other worlds in the future, I will say 'you're welcome' for you." Ziliang said.

"Then the next question is, what is going on with the legendary 'Joker' who walks under satellite surveillance? You and I both know that the Joker is dead. He died before I came to this world last time. That’s right!”

Parker suddenly fell silent.

Ziliang looked at his expression and actually had a guess.

"Speak, if you really want to make a difference in this world, then you can't hide it."

Parker took a deep breath

"Well, that legend is just a lie."

Ziliang was not surprised at all, because he knew that the clown must be dead, otherwise, the compass would have sensed an S-level twin sin fragment the first second he landed on this plane.

"So, who is that 'clown'?" Ziliang asked, staring at Parker.

"That person is me." Parker lowered his head and said, "I have to create a totem so that people can gather together. I have to have a way to attract survivors."

"It is understandable that this kind of false hope is very useful every time the doomsday approaches." Ziliang waved his hand in disgust and said: "But why do you design the totem to look like a 'joker' ?”

Parker shook his head helplessly: "Otherwise, how would I design it? Everything in this world is caused by Batman. After you left, he went completely crazy. He even lost his former comrades. He has killed them all. If there is any image that can make him hesitate, then besides the clown, is there anyone else?"

Ziliang continued to stare at Parker. This reason was indeed valid. After all, if Joker stood in front of Batman, then Batman would definitely have huge ups and downs in his heart, but this ups and downs were for the better. , or it is bad, that is unknown.

But is it just that?

Probably not. If Parker was still just an ordinary gangster like before, Ziliang might still believe it, but now, Parker is no longer the little person he was back then.

Ziliang smiled.

"Oh, your growth is really beyond my expectation." He said, "You are lying to me."

"Why should I lie to you?" Parker spread his hands: "I have been waiting for so many years just to make this world come alive again. Now that I have waited for you, I have no reason to lie to you again."

Ziliang didn't speak. A little scarlet appeared in the depths of his eyes. He still looked at Parker quietly, and Parker looked at him.

At this moment, time seemed to have stopped, Ziliang did not respond, and Parker stopped explaining.

After a while.

"Haha, okay, you are really awesome." Parker suddenly smiled lightly. At this moment, his excited, nervous, and hopeful expression suddenly disappeared.

He stooped, and the wrinkles on his face began to deepen. In an instant, he seemed to have changed from that little gangster to a harmless old man sitting on the sofa.

"How could you tell that I was lying to you?"

Parker said calmly, his whole aura and tone had completely changed into something else.

"Because you never avoided my eyes from the beginning." Ziliang explained.

"Oh?" Parker was stunned: "I didn't avoid your eyes. Shouldn't it be a sign of sincerity?"

"Most of the time it is like this, but there are exceptions. For example, me." Ziliang said: "I have seen too many things, the macroscopic and microscopic aspects of the universe, the gathering and collapse of stars, the world being torn apart, the sky The raindrops turned into lava. Very few people can look at me for so long without any harm, especially in the form of a street gangster, because people will be afraid. I know that you want my impression of you to stay at The 'little punk Parker' I was when I left. But you're not that anymore, and if you're not, you can't pretend to be."

"Hahaha -" Parker shook his head: "Well, maybe it's because I'm getting older and my acting skills are getting worse."

Zi Liang hesitated: "In that case, can you tell me why you use the clown as the survivor's logo?"

Parker sighed.

"Hey, maybe the old guy Lucius Fox is right. Since I can't save the world, then let me completely let go and hand him over to other people." He said, and then stood up with difficulty: "Let's go, I'll take you to see the answer."

As he spoke, he dragged his completely amputated leg, motioning to follow him, and walked out of the room.

It was a long road with twists and turns. Zi Liang followed quietly, while Quinn, who had been immersed in her own lust from the beginning, didn't even listen to the conversation between the two.

Finally, Parker took Ziliang and Quinn to the corner of an old castle.

In front of him was a wooden door.

Parker took a key from his pocket, inserted it, and turned it.

"Click-" The door lock opened, and Parker pushed the door open.

"The answer is inside." He said, then stretched out his hand to indicate to Ziliang and the others that they could go in and take a look.

Ziliang walked to the door in confusion and looked inside.

It was just such a simple glance.

"hiss--"

He gasped.
