When you think something is not normal, but everyone says it is normal, do you think you are crazy?

Batman is in this state now, not long after his debut, Batman's opponents are just some gangster gangsters, or robbers, and the most powerful is just a talented thief like Catwoman, or a powerful gangster like Maroney.

The current Gotham has not yet reached the level of the later Gotham stage, so the current Batman is still a vigilante with a fairly normal mind.

But one day, that is, this night, he suddenly found that he seemed to be surrounded by crazy people.

A madman shot and killed a host on a TV station and then went crazy and said that he was going to put on a show at the Gotham Grand Theater, and everyone around him thought it was normal, and they even bought tickets according to the process, including his ordinary psychology professor, His Excellency Gotham's Godfather, Father Gordon, ......

No one seemed to question this ridiculous thing, which made Batman wonder, could it be that he was crazy?

Humans are all herd mentality, and when they are contrary to everyone's attitude towards you, very few people can choose to insist on themselves, although Batman is still unshaken, but the weird feeling in his heart is gradually weakening.

Actually, if you think about it, it's not ridiculous, because this is Gotham, and Gotham has been crazy for a long time, and now it's just a little crazier.

After checking the tickets and receiving the popcorn, the three of them officially went to the performance hall, there was only one main performance hall at the Gotham Grand Theater, and when Schiller walked in, the rest of the people had already taken their seats, except for those few Schiller acquaintances, there were still a lot of onlookers.

Offstage was a group of television cameramen, and Schiller lit a cigarette and went to make small talk to their boss.

"What? Why am I here? Of course, it was because someone hired me, but even if he didn't give me money, I was happy to come and help, because he killed the most annoying host. ”

The head of the group of cameramen, a bearded man, took the cigarette from Schiller and said, "You don't know how annoying he is, he has so much to do every day that we can't leave work on time." ”

"That green-haired guy is crazy, but he doesn't seem to be very interested in money, and many people who want to buy tickets put the money in the mailbox of the TV station, which is hundreds of dollars, enough for us to go on a foreign trip."

Schiller thought, it seems that this clown is not completely irrational, or rather, he knows the human heart best.

The photographer pointed backstage and said, "It's not just us, he got a whole troupe of support staff out of nowhere, I heard that it seems to be the people from this old theater, he told them that the Gotham Grand Theater is about to be revived, and there will be countless people watching here tonight, so they helped him prepare for the show, look over there, there's an orchestra there......"

Schiller looked in the direction of his finger and saw that someone was actually rehearsing.

Schiller didn't feel much surprised, because he knew something about the Joker, but Batman was different, and he was now really starting to suspect that maybe he was crazy.

Why is it that in such an absurd situation, everyone behaves step by step, which is very normal, and no one raises objections?

Schiller returned to his seat and found Batman meditating, he said, "I told you a long time ago that Gotham is a book that you can't finish reading, every day there are new discoveries, Gotham, every day is different. ”

"Recently, natural and man-made disasters have continued, the road surface has cracked, buildings have collapsed, many people have nothing to do, before the logistics reconstruction, almost everyone earned a sum of money, not to squander, what else can be used for?"

"I think it's a good idea to put on a show, it's better than a striptease bar gala, right? Evans? ”

Evans stiffened in his seat and said, "Professor! Why didn't you tell me that my father would come too? If I had known he was coming, I wouldn't have come! If he sees me holding a popcorn bucket, I'm dead! ”

"Don't worry, your father should forgive you for this little mistake, after all, you're still alive, it's good enough."

With that said, when Falcone turned his head back to catch a glimpse of his son, Evans scrambled to stuff the popcorn bucket in his arms to Batman.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise on the stage, and a man in a purple tuxedo limped onto the stage, carrying a megaphone in his hand, and shouted, "Ladies! Gentlemen! Look at me! Look at my new suit! ”

He moved his shoulders vigorously as if he had lice on his body, twisted his waist from side to side, and said, "Damn, this neckline is a little tight, I shouldn't have listened to that clerk, I should have bought a bigger one......"

"Well, it doesn't matter, I'm just a host, you can call me MR. Jack!"

"Let me see...... Oh, my God! There are so many of them! I'm so touched that you've all come to cheer me on, wait! Who's that? It's Batman!! It's Gotham's big star Batman!! Let's cheer for him!! ”

As he waved his arms vigorously, the orchestra made a noise, and the people below were cheered, and Batman still sat in the audience without saying a word.

"You should stand up, bow from side to side, and nod your head in acknowledgment." Schiller told him: "This is a necessary part of the interaction between the host and the special audience. ”

Batman turned his head from side to side and found that everyone seemed to be looking at him expectantly, but just as he hesitated, the clown on the stage shouted, "Okay, who else?" Oh, my God! His Excellency The Godfather of Gotham is here, too! ”

The godfather didn't stand up, but he held out a hand and waved it from side to side.

"and ......"

As if choked suddenly, the clown said, "How do you pronounce that word?" Wait, uh......"

He rummaged through his pockets, took out a small note, looked at it, and said, "Rod...... Professor Riggs! ”

Schiller stood up and nodded to the left and right, then waved his hand again.

"I hate the name, it's tongue-in-cheek." The Joker muttered under his breath.

Then he regained his interest and said, "Welcome to the opening show of the great comedian Jack!" ”

"What did I say before? What do I mean by name? ......'Owl bad luck'? No, no, no! I changed my mind, the name is too vulgar to deserve me! ”

"Now I'm going to call it - Death of the Owl!"

Gu Jiao

With his high-pitched tone, the orchestra played an opening song, and in an instant, the curtain behind him "popped" open, and several lights focused on the center of the stage.

There were several hemp ropes hanging from the ceiling, and at the end fell men and women, old and young, all wearing white bird-shaped masks.

The clown brought a strip of cloth and tied the megaphone to himself, which made his suit look a little funny with folds, but he didn't care at all.

He happily rushed to the band, took a triangle, struck it vigorously, and then shouted, "Will will will!" The cast is here! Our protagonist is here!!

"Hey, the camera over there, did you get it right? Make sure the whole Gotham audience can see it clearly! ”

The bearded man made an OK gesture.

The clown spun around and faced the group of victims, who were tied up and hung in the air with hemp ropes, and said, "I guess you must be wondering how I found you?" ”

"Remember a charity dinner you had a few days ago on Elizabeth Street? The ingredients for that day were delivered by my car......"

"What other day? Oh...... It must have been ten days ago, I don't remember, which restaurant came? That's me, I'm a diligent driver, and I often go to the places you frequent! ”

"Do you think you're well hidden?" The clown laughed and said, "The owl without feathers is full of ugliness, you can't hide it, hahahahaha, your feathers are all plucked, ugly like a newborn duck, hahahahaha ”

One of the tied men, who had no duct tape on his mouth, exclaimed: "Impossible, we are clearly ...... in disguise"

"Your hearts are aching!" The clown interrupted him and said, "You put on an attitude of indifference, thinking that you are no different from usual, but your heart is dripping blood, and I smell the smell of blood." ”

"What have you lost? What is it that makes you feel so distraught and heartbroken? Could it be ......" The clown snickered and said, "It can't be money, hahahahaha!! ”

"Hahaha, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have laughed, but I really can't help it, you guys actually ...... You guys !! Hahahahaha, actually for money!! ”

The clown laughed out of breath, and he bent over to cover his stomach, as if he was about to choke himself from laughing in the next second.

There was also laughter from the audience, Batman looked at Schiller, Schiller covered his mouth as if he had reacted suddenly, and said, "Oh, it's okay, I just can't hold back because it's really funny, especially ......"

Schiller looked left and right and whispered to Batman, "...... Especially when I think that all that money is in my pocket right now. ”

The clown gradually recovered from his laughter, and he found that the owl members who were tied up by him were silent, and his smile had not disappeared, and he asked, "Why are you so serious?" ”

"Isn't this funny enough?"

After saying that, he asked the audience, "An organization that calls itself the master of Gotham!" Actually ...... because of the loss of money Hahaha! Could it be that a secret society that claims to be a great dark being has been exposed because of money...... Hahahahaha!!! ”

Many people in the audience also laughed, and then gradually evolved into laughter.

The only ones who were silent were Batman and the Owl Court members on stage.

Now the members of the Owl Court feel the same way as Batman, are they crazy, or is the world crazy?

"Why can't we...... You poor hillbillies! Do you know how much that is? It's a trap, we're being blackmailed, we're ......"

"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! The clown rushed up and hit the member on the head with the little iron rod that had struck the triangle, saying, "The joke explainer is the failure of the perfect joke!" Shut up! ”

After a while, the clown panted and walked to the stage again and said, "Okay, the opening ceremony has passed, and we are going to officially start the show!" ”

With that, he walked among the people who were hanging, tore the tape off their mouths, and said to them: "You should see, you are hanging at different heights......"

"And now......" said the clown, stomping on his feet, "there's a big surprise under the floor, like the one I gave you before." ”

"From now on, the rope that binds you will slowly fall, and if one person touches the ground, it will ...... Boom！ Hahaha! ”

"Of course, you can also save yourself, and when a person dies, his rope will no longer fall."

"You should have felt it, you are tied to your back with a button that will kill a random one of you when you press it."

"And my audience!" The clown turned around, he raised his hands and said, "Take out your tickets, there's a clue on them!" ”

He also said to those who were tied: "Each of you can choose an audience member to ask a question to guess who the button in your hand corresponds to, or whose button corresponds to you. ”

"And then!" The clown raised his voice and said, "Consider whether you want to press that button in your hand......"

He turned and bowed, and stood in the center of the stage, the spotlight casting a dark shadow on the broken hair, the smile on his face becoming a little terrifying, and his voice echoing through the empty theater, becoming muffled and frustrated:

"When I heard that there was a savior named Batman in Gotham, I almost thought I was crazy"

"But I'm not crazy, so of course he's not a savior."

"But this damn madman disguised as a bat, he rejected me, ignored me, and even humiliated me as a killer produced by others......"

"Now, I've proven that I'm not, then, it's your turn...... Batman. ”
