Chapter 64: All the Reasons
This is a bit like a satire. Everyone is wearing clown makeup, but no one knows who the clown is.
However, Paco knows.
He had experienced that clown and had various superheroes. At the same time, he also knew what a terrible guy this person named god was.
So Parker never mentioned anything about the "Joker". After all, if everyone knows that the totem painted on his face is actually a heinous, crazy and terrifying existence, then the last remaining people in this world will probably collapse directly.
But Harley Quinn didn't care about that. When she heard that there was a man who looked like a 'clown' walking on the surface, she was excited.
"Oh my god, it's him, it must be him!" she shouted: "I knew after I came to this world that my little pudding must be alive."
Quinn jumped and jumped, and fell into a self-entertainment pattern again.
However, Ziliang frowned again.
Because there are many things Parker said that are different from what he knows.
"I know you will be back. In fact, I'm already unable to hold on. We are almost exhausted. The oldest group of survivors have long been dead. The children born in my heart have gradually adapted to this era. They have no way to receive systematic education and are malnourished. They even feel that they should live in this small space. They are beginning to fear the outside world. If I continue like this, the world will be over after I die." Parker said sadly: "But it's okay, you are here, you are here to save this world, right?"
No one knows what Parker has carried over the years, but it is obvious that he has grown into a person who dares to bear the pressure beyond his ability to bear.
Falcone said that he had a very accurate look at people and seemed to be not bragging.
"Wait a minute." Ziliang raised his hand and interrupted Parker's words: "There are still many things that I don't understand, for example, when I left this world 30 years ago, I clearly remember that all the villains in Gotham City had been frozen, but when I came to this world again, I met many people. These people should have died, but they almost killed us."
Indeed, if this world is the Gotham that Ziliang came to last time, then people like Talia and the Crazy Hats should have died. They were all buried in the basement of Arkham Asylum. Ziliang had seen those frozen 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 can be sure that they were all created by Bruce Wayne. In the first few years, I had ventured into the ruins of the Arkham Asylum, but all the freezers were emptied and all the bodies of everyone disappeared."
"Disappeared?" Ziliang frowned: "Did Batman in this plane master 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 did not wear his red and blue battle robe, but was wearing an office worker's suit.
Moreover, he also denied that he was ‘Superman’, and instead emphasized that he was ‘Clark Kent’.
"Yeah, it's interesting." Ziliang pinched his chin and pondered: "Okay, let's put this question first, so the next question, what's going on in the church? And why did you not get discovered by the satellite positioning system after you took the photo and walked out of the surface? Do you know? Along the way, I was the only one who was chased and beaten, and my ribs were broken at least forty times!"
Ziliang shouted in dissatisfaction.
When Parker heard the word "forty times", he couldn't help swallowing.
"These are all done by Lucius Fox. You know, he was a technical consultant to the Wayne Group back then. In fact, almost all the equipment in Batman's hands was his hands. When Bruce Wayne broke out from the personality of "Chief Gordon" and put on the battle suit 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's only me, because at that time, almost all the underground forces in Gotham had been ruled by me."
"Huo, you kid is really not simple." Ziliang said.
Parker shook his head and continued his explanation: "At that time, Mr. Lucius Fox found me. In fact, he originally hated a dark side character like me, because his parents died in a battle between different forces. However, he told me that the world was in danger and he did not have the ability to save the world. Of course, I did not, but I had the ability to gather people together, so I could pass on the spark of hope."
"At that time, he said to me, 'I hate you, but I beg you to let the world survive for a while.' After that, he handed me some of the strange equipment that was originally intended to be handed over to Batman, such as the space transfer device, or this kind of small lamp that can block satellite detection signals."
As he said that, Parker took out a small thing from his arms like a ‘pen’, which kept flashing.
"Can this thing prevent satellites from monitoring you?"
Parker nodded: "Yes, because those extraterrestrial satellites were made by Mr. Lucius Fox, he naturally had the ability to block it. It was because of this that church, this castle, and the soldiers I usually sent out to find survivors to survive."
Ziliang nodded: "Okay, I know that guy. If he gave him some iron sheets, he could usurp an aircraft carrier for you. If the sins in his body were not up to standard, I wouldn't have been so much effort to find the old man [Jigsaw]."
"What did you say?" Parker asked without understanding.
"Oh, nothing, complain." Ziliang said: "Then, the question is. Since he can make so many powerful equipment, why don't he build a factory himself to deal with Batman? He should have this kind of strength."
"He does, but he's dead."
"Dead?"
"Yes, after handing all these things to me, Mr. Lucius Fox committed suicide."
"Ah?" Ziliang couldn't help but ask.
"He said that although his existence can improve the quality of life of survivors, it also increases the danger of the world being completely eliminated. Because as long as he is alive, Bruce Wayne will have a chance to find himself, and if he gets himself, then he will definitely have a hundred ways to become his 'technical consultant' again. At that time, there will be no hope in the world."
"While he obviously chose the latter between a better life and the possibility of avoiding greater damage to the world, he obviously chose the latter. If he dies, Batman's technological rule will stagnate. This is the last and best contribution he can make to the world. Then he dies. I handed the gun into his hand, and then watched him pull the trigger, and the last thing he said to me was thank you."
Ziliang was silent for a while. In the end of the world, some people tear Shanmei's faces apart, while others, on the contrary, he has seen many such things, but every time he feels a little sigh.
"Well, Mr. Lucius Fox is an interesting person. If I have the chance in the future, I will say 'You're welcome' to you,'" Ziliang said.
"Then let's have another question, what's going on with the legendary "Clown" walking under satellite surveillance? You and I know that the clown is dead, and it was dead before I last came to this world!"
Parker suddenly became silent.
Ziliang looked at his expression and actually guessed it.
"Tell me, if you really want the world to change a little, then you can't hide it."
Parker took a deep breath
"Okay, that legend is just a lie."
Ziliang was not surprised at all, because he knew that the clown must have died, otherwise, a piece of S-level twin sin fragment would be able to sense it in the first second he landed on this plane.
"So, who is that 'claw'?" Ziliang asked staring at Parker.
"That person is me," Parker said with his head down, "I have to create a totem so that people can gather together, and I have to have the means to attract survivors."
"It is understandable that this false hope is particularly useful every time the doomsday comes." Ziliang waved his hand in disgust and said, "But why do you design the totem into the image of 'joker'?"
Parker shook his head helplessly: "Otherwise, what do I want to design it? Everything in this world is caused by Batman. After you left, he was already crazy and completely. He even killed his former comrades. If there is any image that makes him hesitate, then, who else can there be except the clown?"
Ziliang continued to stare at Parker. This reason was indeed true. After all, if Joker stood in front of Batman, then Batman's heart would definitely have huge ups and downs. However, it is unknown whether this ups and downs are towards the good or the bad.
But is that all?
It shouldn't be. If Parker was still just an ordinary gangster like before, then Ziliang might believe it, but now Parker is no longer the little person he used to be.
Ziliang smiled.
"Ha, your growth is really beyond my expectations." He said, "You are lying to me."
"Why am I lying to you?" Parker spread his hands: "I have been waiting for so many years to make the world come back to life. Now that I have waited for you, I have no reason to lie to you again."
Ziliang didn't say anything, and a little scarlet appeared deep in his eyes. He was still looking at Parker quietly, and Parker also looked at him.
At this moment, time seemed to stop. Ziliang did not respond and Parker no longer explained.
After a long time.
"Haha, okay, you're so awesome." Parker suddenly smiled faintly. At this moment, his excited and nervous expression, who finally saw hope, disappeared suddenly.
He hunched his back, and the wrinkles on his face began to deepen. In an instant, he seemed to have changed from that little gangster to a harmless elderly man nestled on the sofa.
"How do you see that I'm lying to you."
Parker said lightly, his aura and tone had completely turned into another appearance.
"Because you didn't avoid my eyes from the beginning," Ziliang explained.
"Oh?" Parker was stunned: "Isn't it a sincere expression that has not avoided your eyes?"
"It's like this most of the time, but there are exceptions like me," Ziliang said. "I have seen too many things, the macroscopic and microscopic of the universe, the convergence of stars, the collapse of the world, the raindrops in the sky turn into lava, but few people can look at me safely for so long, 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 gangster Parker' when I left. But you are no longer, no, you can't pretend."
"Hahaha" Parker shook his head: "Well, maybe he's older and his acting skills are getting worse and worse."
Ziliang timidly said to his shoulders: "Since that's the case, can you tell me why you use the clown as the survivor's mark?"
Parker sighed.
"Hey, maybe that old guy Lucius Fox is right. Since I can't save the world, let it go completely and hand him over to someone else's hands." He said, and then stood up with difficulty: "Let's go, I'll take you to see the answer."
As he said that, he dragged his leg that had been completely amputated, signaled to follow him, and walked out of the room.
It was a long road, and Ziliang followed quietly, while Quinn, she was immersed in her own fantasy from the beginning, and she didn't even listen to the conversation between the two of them just now.
Finally, Parker brought Ziliang and Quinn to the corner of an ancient castle.
In front of him was a wooden door.
Parker took out a key from his pocket, inserted it in, and turned it.
"Click" the door lock opened, Parker pushed the door open.
"The answer is inside." He said, then reached out and signaled that Ziliang and the others could go in and take a look.
Ziliang walked to the door in confusion and looked inside.
And it's such a simple look.
"hiss"
