This "out-of-bound" bar is quirky and doesn't look like a good place, but there's no doubt that the bartender is just a human being, not some devil or anything like that Cyber imagined

The indestructible Edelman bullet pierced his head, splashing the disgusting stuff everywhere and staining the entire bar with a bright red sheen.

"Well, so, I hate shooting at such close range..."

Selena sat on the side of Selena who seemed to be frightened, and it wasn't until Cyber reached out to help her wipe the blood off her face that she jumped up, took Cyber's hand, pointed it in the air, and opened her mouth, but she couldn't speak.

"What?"

Cyber looked up, then froze in place, "Waterfack..."

In the air, an illusory shadow floated there, clearly the dead bartender, and his distorted face could be seen, and he viciously drew a middle finger at Cyberbie, as if he was still cursing him, and then he was swallowed directly from the air by an invisible force.

Cyber lowered his head, the bartender's body was still lying on the bar, this surreal scene made him feel an unspeakable malice, he took a deep breath, grabbed Selena's arm, and walked towards the door of the bar,

"Let's go... This place... Hell!"

By the time they turned around, the wooden door of the bar had been pushed open, and a man in a black trench coat, a gentleman's hat, and a cane in his hand walked slowly into the bar, he looked up and glanced at Seber and Selena,

"Oh no, don't confuse me with those ghosts, they're better than me... Far from it. ”

"Boom"

A pale ray of thunder swept across the sky, shining the figure of the man who had walked into the bar on the ground, and Cyber could see clearly, the shadow of the man... It was twisted, hideous, ineffable shadows, long horns, triangular tails, and wings folded behind their backs.

Even if the shadow was only fleeting, Cyber had already figured something out.

Professor Charles and Victor the Saber-toothed Tiger had always told him that the world was more real than he could have imagined, and now he finally saw a deeper layer of truth beneath the world... That creepy layer.

"Why don't you come and sit down?"

The man sat at the table in the bar, reached out and took off his gentleman's hat, which matched the old voice, with an old man's face, pale hair, full of wrinkles, and slightly cloudy eyes, ordinary like those old men that could be seen everywhere on the street.

Faced with this invitation, Cyber hesitated for a few seconds, stepped over, his arm was tightly pulled by Selena, he turned his head and saw the worried look on Selena's face, he nodded to her, and then walked over and sat down opposite the old man.

His gaze fell on the cane that the old man had put aside, it was a crystal cane with a whole body of crystal, the top of which was carved into the shape of a skull, lifelike, no... Cyber felt like it was a real skull, and he could even hear the screams coming from the skull.

"Nice walking stick. ”

Cyber retracted his gaze and looked at the old man in front of him, he took a deep breath, reached out and took the humidor from his pocket and placed it on the table,

"Do you want one?"

The old man glanced at the cigar and a look of disdain appeared in his eyes, "Stupid indulgence, you are used to using it to relieve stress? Did I make you feel stressed? Seber Hawke, don't worry, in this world, I don't hurt anyone easily..."

His eyes fell on Cyber, and he quickly showed an interested look, then took out a delicate pocket watch and looked at the time,

"I can see that you have a lot of questions, ask, Cyber Hawke, a soul can keep me for a long time, and we have enough time to talk. ”

Cyber lit his cigar, he desperately needed something to distract himself now, and after a few seconds of silence, he raised his head, looked at the old man in front of him, and asked,

"These eyes?"

"What I gave you, no doubt. ”

The old man spread his hands, "This is a... Well, how about an investment that allows you to harvest some first, and then we can cooperate at a deeper level? Are you satisfied with these eyes that can see through the boundaries between life and death?"

"Life and death..."

Cyber touched the corner of his eye, "I see, then the next question, who are you? Why me?"

The question did not seem to go beyond the guesses of the mysterious visitor, and he reached out and tapped on the table, as if to signal it, and he looked at Cyber,

Let an old friend answer this question. ”

"Dangchang"

The door of the bar was pushed open again, and a familiar figure walked into the bar with strange steps, he looked left and right, and saw Cyber sitting there, he reached out and scratched his messy hair with satisfaction, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, the white oil paint on his face and the strange blush, along with the terrible scar at the corner of his mouth, became vivid, and his eyes covered with dark black oil paint flashed a satisfied smile.

"Look who this is... Dear little Cyber, it's been a long time, do you still miss me?"

"Since losing the last game, I've been... But I miss you so much, I miss you so much!"

Cyber's body stiffened suddenly, and Selena, who was sitting at the bar, let out an exclamation,

"Little... Joker! Are you still alive?"

"No, beautiful lady, I'm dead, I've been blown up... Shattered and died. ”

The clown had a helpless expression on his face, he pouted, dragged a chair from the side, pulled a foul crash on the ground, walked to Cyber's table, he reached out and shook it in front of Cyber's eyes, and then snapped his fingers,

"But I was delighted to find that death was just the beginning of another journey, and I was honored to have found a new collaborator... And so I came back, ah, the world is changing incredibly slowly, how about it? Aren't you happy to see an old friend?"

Cyber stared at the face in front of him that he would never forget, but unexpectedly, he didn't seem to feel fear, as if the clown was still alive, something that didn't come as a surprise.

"Where are you from?"

This question gave a dull look to the clown's face, and he scratched his head, then showed a malicious smile,

"Where else?"

He spread his hands and fell into the chair in a limp position, playing with his fingers,

"Please, do you think a guy like me can go to heaven? Hell, of course!"

He pursed his lips and reached out to pat Cyber on the shoulder,

"I have to say, hell is actually very lively, little Gambol and they are all desperately hoping that you will go down soon, so that they can give you a big "welcome party", yes, I am not kidding, they really plan to do so. ”

"Oh, so I can kill them again?"

Cyber turned his head to look at the charred black handprint on his shoulder, he glanced at the interested old man, and then at the clown who was playing with his fingers,

"So, you "recommended" me, huh?"

The clown looked up and showed a warm smile, "Yes, no thanks!"

"I'm so honored..."

Cyber pulled out a stiff smile, looked at the old man, and turned back to the clown, "So, is this your new employer?

The old man raised his finger at this moment, stopping the eager clown from explaining further, and his finger shook in the air,

"The Joker is my new Warden, I have to say, his talent in this area is incredible, he is very good at helping me out of some troubles, in 4 years I have made 5 times more than before, he is a good employee, he recommended you to me when I needed some bounty hunters to help me with my troubles..."

He looked at Cyber with a smile on his face,

"I've been watching you, Cyber, at the dam base, on Three Mile Island, in New York, in Las Vegas... You're a near-perfect candidate, the only problem is that it doesn't seem like there's anyone else else looking at you besides me, which isn't good. ”

"There's something wrong with your body, right? Modern stupid medicine can't solve your problem, but I can, easily... But as we said before, this is an investment, and if you want me to put more investment on you, you have to show me your value. ”

When the old man had finished speaking, the clown answered,

"My boss needs one thing, don't worry, we're not asking you to do something bad, that thing belonged to him and was just stolen by his not-so-honest ex-employee, we need you to get it back, in exchange, the boss will help you solve the trouble you're facing now... All the trouble!"

Cyber nodded, didn't agree, didn't veto, he just looked at the clown playfully,

"Why are you doing this? It stands to reason that you should hate me to death, and you should have watched me die instead of suggesting that your boss saved me and gave me a special pair of eyes. ”

"Come on, buddy!"

The clown laughed, "What's the grudge between us? I have no interest in you in the first place, you are very involved in my game with the big bat, you see, now I am "alive" in this way, which is actually good, because I have time to continue playing with him... This time, I'm not going to allow you to meddle... You'd better not meddle either!"

Cyber rolled his eyes,

"I really don't know you people very well, why are you holding on to Batman?"

"Because he made me whole!"

The clown's face suddenly became hideous, he reached out and grabbed Cyber's collar, and the special power that did not belong to the human escaped around him, and the temperature dropped rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye,

"You don't know any of that, you bastard who only knows how to kill and destroy! You ruined the game last time, but this time it won't!

"I'm going to play with him like this for eternity, until the last dogma in his heart is completely shattered, and he'll fall into the abyss completely, and I... I'm going to harvest a sinful soul that is beyond measure... That would be my first and last perfect soul... Perfect collectible!"

"Oh my God, his insistence on justice makes me want to vomit, do you think his insistence is meaningful? Look at you, like him, you have to pretend that your life is reasonable, pretend that everything in this experience is meaningful, but it's just that you don't admit it, after that nightmare past, just like everyone else who has been through it, you've been driven crazy, admit it..."

The Joker grabbed Cyber by the collar like a real madman and shook it wildly, "Admit it, you've been driven crazy!

"Alright, my warden, you're too noisy, go about your business..."

The old man waved his hand, and the clown's figure slowly faded away in place, as if he had turned and walked into a place completely surrounded by fire and ashes, and before disappearing completely, he turned to look at Cyber, stretched out his finger, and slashed his neck with malice.

The combination of those wailing souls and creepy scenes made Cyber a little speechless until the illusions were all gone, and the old man smiled,

"He's a great guy, really... Except for some stubborn little hobbies, but that's nothing compared to what he brought... Forget about him, Cyber, and let's talk about the two of us. ”
