Joker, whatever kind of person this is, his case has completely piqued Roy's interest. He is now desperate to find out what kind of abilities this Joker has that makes him known as "Gotham's Nightmare".

When it comes to the person with the most comprehensive information about the Joker and the most in-depth study of the Joker, there is no doubt that no one else thinks about it except Batman. So it stands to reason that the first thing Roy did when he returned to the apartment was to call Bruce Wayne and ask him for information about the Joker stored in the Batcave.

"Nope." Surprisingly, this was Bruce's crisp answer.

"Why? This madman is at large, and I can help you catch him. ”

"No, you can't." Bruce's answer was maneuvering, "You don't know him, but I do." I'm already working on this case, I'll catch the clown. You don't care about this case. ”

After saying that, he hung up the phone decisively.

Roy was slightly upset. He didn't know how terrible the clown was, but he didn't think the criminal was any more special than the dozen he had caught.

Since Batman can't do it, he had to retreat and transfer the Joker-related files from the Gotham Police Department to take a look.

He didn't notice that Barbara had quietly arrived at his door when he hung up.

"'He' is back, right?" Barbara asked.

"yes."

Although Barbara herself never talks about how she ended up in a wheelchair, Roy already knew. After all, the incident of Director Gordon's daughter was heard by everyone in the entire Gotham, and it was even more of a major event in the Gotham Police Department, and Roy has heard about it more or less since he was a consultant in the police department.

Three years ago, the Joker led a group of people to ring the doorbell of Director Gordon's house. As soon as the defenseless Barbara opened the door, a relentless gunshot rang out, and the bullets took the poor girl's legs from then on.

But the clown's "fun" doesn't stop there. He's going to make a point, and he wants to prove that whoever they are, after a terrible night, is just as crazy as he is. So he took Director Gordon and forced him to see his daughter lying in a pool of blood in a dark space, trying to destroy his spirit.

It was clear that the strong Director Gordon had not been tossed crazy by that night, and the strong Barbara had risen back from the shadows. But the great trauma inflicted on them by the clown that night was like a hidden fuse, which would be rekindled as soon as the madman returned.

"Don't worry." Roy said, "I'll catch him, and the guy I wanted to catch hasn't run away yet." ”

But to his surprise, Barbara bit her lip and hesitated for a moment, but said, "No, I just want to say it's just this once, forget it." Forget about him. ”

Roy turned around unexpectedly, looked at the delicate but extremely tangled face in front of him, and asked, "Why?" Don't you hate him? Shouldn't you want to kill him? ”

Barbara took a deep breath and said, "Of course, of course I do. For the past three years, I've thought almost all the time about this hateful madman and everything he did to me, to my father. I will never, ever forgive him. There have been countless times when I have woken up from such a nightmare - I broke his spine with my own hands so that he could never stand up again, and then I grabbed him by the neck and listened to his crazy laughter until the moment he died."

Roy believes that for a girl like Barbara, this is already a fierce fantasy. He didn't interrupt and let her continue.

"But now that he's back, I," Barbara looked at her legs with hatred, "I hate myself for not being able to get up and track him down myself." But at the same time I was scared and wanted him to stay away and never come back. ”

"Afraid of what?" Roy asked softly.

"You haven't seen him, you don't know." Barbara shook her head, "This madman, every time he comes back, he brings back blood, kills, he always finds a way to hurt the people we care about." Each of his appearances brought scars that would be difficult to repair. You're amazing, I know, and from the bottom of my heart, I think you're going to find him. But there is another part of my heart that may be afraid of this. If if you are also him"

She couldn't say any more at this point, and her head tilted to the side: "I don't know." Bruce must have told you not to meddle, and every time something happened about the Joker, he told us not to interfere, and I think he must have been scared of this madman in his heart, but he didn't want to admit it. So this time, just listen to him, listen to mine, leave him alone, and let Batman do his job. ”

Roy smiled, "I guess, you should know what I'm going to say, right?" ”

Barbara let out a long sigh.

"Of course you will know that if you were in my position, I have no doubt that you would not listen to your own dissuasion." "Because in some ways, we're the same. No matter how mysterious the criminal is the Joker, he is a criminal after all. If Batman can catch him, so can I, and I'd be very happy to have the opportunity to bring such a powerful criminal to justice. As for the danger? You should also know that after I chose to do this, I didn't know how to write these two words. ”

"I know I can't stop you, I just have to warn you." Barbara brushed her hair helplessly and said, "Well, since you have decided so, then I will do my best to help you." There is only one last condition. ”

"Say."

"If you catch that bastard," Barbara's usually kind and clear eyes showed a rare fierce light, "don't show mercy." ”

Roy smiled, "You've got my assurance." ”

"Okay, so where do we start?" Barbara asked.

"The Joker killed one of his old subordinates today." Roy dragged his chin and said, "I think this is probably just the beginning." ”

"You want to say he's cleaning up his old men?"

"For some reason it's quite possible. As all of you tried to tell me, you can't figure him out with ordinary people's logic, can you? ”

"That's true."

Roy said, "So I'm going to check the Gotham Police Department's previous files for clues about the Joker's past accomplices, and I was going to borrow access from Chief Gordon, but I'm glad we can save me the tedious steps of going through the formalities if you're willing to help me." At the same time, I also had to look at the Joker's past record to understand this opponent as much as I could, because as Bruce just emphasized to me, it is very necessary to know such an opponent. ”
