Chapter 38: Robbery (2)
Looking at the fake clown on his knees, the dead Mike, Duke Stars took a deep breath for five seconds. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
This is the biggest gaffe Jack has seen since they met.
Then, to Jack's creep, the beautiful and graceful duchess shook off the bloodstained knife in her hand and turned around with a gentle and elegant smile, her curved eyebrows and rolling eyes swept over Jack's body.
"I find it hard to believe that this is not a coincidence, dear Earl. ”
"But it really isn't. Jack responded calmly, because it really didn't matter to him, so he didn't hesitate to shake the pot.
After a brief pause, Luna spoke again, "I believe you, no, more accurately, I believe that I look into people's eyes, and your expression is not fake. However, I thought, since you are going to follow me, should you submit a letter of submission?"
"You want me to go after this ......," Jack asked hesitantly, looking at the smiling face with clown makeup.
"Joker. Luna smiled and picked up Jack's words, "No, though I'm only a bad duke, I do know that Mr. Earl is a wise man, a man who lives by his brain, so I wouldn't make such an impudent request to you, my dear follower, because that clown is a more dangerous criminal than the nightmare you fear most." ”
"Then what do you mean ......"
"I just need you to do it, that clown will be hunted down by my Knights of the Dawn, and you, you only need to let him die once, this is your vote. ”
"Die once?" Jack noticed the strange wording.
"You should have noticed, I just slashed Mike's chest with a knife and judged his true identity from that. I should have said that the Joker was our most successful test subject, and his body was modified by us to have strong self-healing powers, to the point that he would not die if his skull was broken. Luna was still smiling, but her narrowed eyes and raised eyebrows showed her secret anger, "So, I want you to gouge out his heart and make him grow another one in the midst of his pain, as a punishment for his escape, hum, for fleeing." ”
"Of course I can do that, so is there anything I can do to hunt down this vicious criminal?" Not only Luna, but Jack himself wanted to catch the criminal.
"You've got a good brain, so do your best!" Luna's smile narrowed, "Actually, I'd love to have that troublesome madman die right now, but it's a precious test piece, so, for your sake and my eternal life, my count, I hope you catch him alive." Of course, the sooner the better!"
"Yes, I'll do my best. I need intelligence, more, information about this clown, though. Lowering his eyes, Jack struggled to restrain the excitement and thirst in his heart, a madness inherited from Rorschach.
Chasing evil and carrying out justice is the iron and blood of the Night's Watch.
――――
Night.
Close to the commercial district of the airship dock, there is the liveliest night market in Star City, with the most crowded crowds and colorful, trance-like lights. What's more, in the dimly lit alleyways of this business district, the headquarters of the Sandknife Gang is hidden.
At this time, the courtyard where Jack had been during the day welcomed an uninvited guest.
A green-haired clown in a brown-green costume with a white face and red lips pushed open the courtyard gate.
The people of the Sand Knife Gang, who were drinking and gambling, wrestling their wrists and arguing with each other, did not pay attention to the sudden guest, which made the clown laugh happily.
He shook the door.
The door creaked, and the discordant sound finally attracted a group of big men who were drinking.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem!" Restraining the smile on his face, he coughed twice with some seriousness, and the clown said loudly, "I think my appearance may be too bland, so you can barely see me......"
"Poofha
The clown pointed at the guy, paused for a moment, and said, "So, I think I need a little bit of brilliant stage effects, like some lighting, or some little magic." ”
The clown stroked his green hair with his left hand, and unlike his calm face, his voice was sharp and quick, "I hope this will satisfy you!"
"Be careful!"
The person next to the drunk man had already noticed it, and even not only reminded him, but also grabbed the drunken man's shoulder with one hand.
However, just as he was about to pull the drunk away, the drunkard's legs stretched out from the couch were already separated by the gushing blood.
"Ahh!!h
"Filip!"
"Stop the bleeding!"
"Catch that guy!"
"Can't stop it! Get the healing scroll!"
Just when the scene was in chaos, a tall and strong old man walked up to everyone, he waved his hand, and said, "Stand down, shut up, take care of Fili, and I'll solve it here." ”
With Old Bard's words, all the chaos immediately subsided, and his subordinates retreated to the back, the man in the blue shirt and cowboy hat stood calmly in front of everyone, like a mountain, and the clown who was facing him, thin as a chicken.
However, the clown was obviously not overwhelmed by Bard's aura, he licked his crimson lips and withdrew his hand, contrary to that nervous expression, he said in a flat tone: "It seems that my performance is not good enough, and there are no people who applaud, oh, I'm a little sad, but you may be even sadder, well, after all, it's not me who bleeds......"
"That's enough!" Old Bard interrupted the Joker, "you're not dead yet, but I've heard that you were captured by that woman......"
"I'm running away now, thanks to everyone's help. The Joker frowned, acting out a false sadness, "Oh, poor old Mike, of course......" All the sorrow turned into a smirk in an instant, "and poor you!"
"What do you want to say, what is the purpose of your coming here today?"
"Are you in a hurry? No, I'm not in a hurry. Maybe I've been away for so long, and the city has forgotten what fear is, but remember, old Bard, aren't you? You're still willing to applaud me, my loyal audience. ”
"I, and of course my Sandknives, just want to be a spectator, clown, and I don't want to get involved in your madness. ”
"Oh, it's up to you, she's going to have to clean up your unstable bunch before Luna Stars completes her plans, and besides, I'm here, so there's a new reason to clean you up, and I don't think she'll forget how much trouble the criminals in Starry City have caused her!" the clown grinned wickedly, her fingers trembling unconsciously, and her deep eyes filled with sane madness.
"Of course, you're not doing well right now, are you? I know what your problem is, and I know who made you tie your hands and I can help you kill the Duke of the Stars. ”
"Four years ago, you didn't succeed, you became that woman's prisoner. ”
"No, no, no, no, I did it on purpose, it was on purpose, trust me, I can help you get out of that trouble. Of course, I need a small payment. ”
"What do you want?"
"I heard you got a hundred magic rifles today?"
