Chapter 373: Jerome Got an Insight into the Truth, and then Started a Powerful Mouth Cannon
"It was Jeromer who gave me a miserable life, he was the one who made me like this, and my life would have been better without him."
"So you hate being a clown?" Zhou Ran raised his eyebrows and teased with a smile.
「NO!」 Jerome shook his head and smiled, "Without Jeromer I would be a clown, it's a fate, an unchangeable fate."
"Sir, you know what? I was born to be a clown...... If I hadn't been chosen by the god of fate to be a clown, I might have been a speck of dust in this world."
"Maybe one day you'll starve to death on a park bench, or die in a war that breaks out out of nowhere."
Jerome sighed lightly and said with emotion.
After hearing this, Zhou Ran nodded and said, "That's true, but this is not what I want to hear, tell me about your origin......
"Don't deceive me with those lies, for example, Jeromer was born a bad person, and you killed your mother with your own hands......
"A lie? It's not a lie, it's just a means, a means to get to the root of human nature, and in fact, I can't tell if it's true or not......" Jerome whispered.
"I don't believe that all your memories are chaotic, there will always be a truth that keeps repeating, tell me about your metamorphosis, the process of becoming a clown from an ordinary person." Zhou Ran said calmly, this is what he is curious about, he wants to find the law of the clown personality to choose agents.
Jerome rubbed his head and sighed, "Actually, it's not that complicated, I just made a deal with the clown and sold my soul and body."
"There's always been a legend about the Joker in Hell's Kitchen, and people say he's a demon who likes to cause chaos, he loves to kill, and every time he appears, he brings blood."
"One night, I met the clown, and he politely said, I want to do an experiment, but there is no guarantee that the experiment will be successful, if you are lucky enough, you will harvest a new life."
"Apparently, I was lucky that the experiment was successful and I became the new Joker."
Jerome's expression changed as he recounted his origins lightly.
His eyes widened, he scratched at his hair and muttered, "Damn! Why am I talking about these things all of a sudden? Isn't it ......?"
Jerome seemed to understand something, he glanced at Zhou Ran thoughtfully, and said with a smile: "Interesting, really interesting, I didn't expect there to be such interesting things in the world......
"The Light of New York and the Darkness of New York are the same person...... No wonder Arthur, who has become a clown, has mastered part of the Dionysian factor, will die, he has blasphemed you, the real "god" of chaos!"

The first time the clown appeared, it had already been changed, and anyone who wanted to be a clown would become a clown, and he was not stingy at all, even extraordinarily generous, he was like a god in the heavens, looking down on his devotees with a smile on his face......
"Really? That's the biggest takeaway of the trip, according to you, the Joker will always be there, and even if you are killed, there will still be the next Clown." Zhou Ran asked.
Jerome snapped his fingers and said, "That's right, that's it, it's like those hydras that stick to the lake, cut off one head and grow two more heads to replace it."
"In the same way, if you kill a clown, a new one will appear in your place."
Zhou Ran blinked and said in a deep voice, "So, this city will always be chaotic, and it will never be able to achieve true peace?"
"Huh?"
After hearing this, Jerome couldn't help laughing, he looked at Zhou Ran with a pair of mocking eyes, and teased, "Oh, sir, I heard you right! Someone like you cares about a tiny New York?"
"Besides, you are not pure justice and kindness, so why should you come to save the world?"
"The chaos never hurts you, and it will even circle around you like a pug, just to seek your insignificant praise."
After Zhou Ran heard this, he suddenly fell silent.
"Smack!"
Jerome clapped his hands, a crazy smile on his face, and he increased the output of his mouth cannon, "Oh, sir, you don't really want to be a superhero, do you?"
"Is this really valuable to you? Even if a good person does countless good deeds, people will think that he deserves it, but as long as he does one bad thing and not bad, he will receive countless vicious insults!"
"With great power comes great responsibility...... You don't believe this kind of chicken soup that tricks children, do you? Or after a long time, you really think you're the good guy in the mouth of the people!"
"Oh, sir, sober up! That's just your disguise! You've never been like that, and if you're a flawless person, how could a Joker be born in your heart?"
"Sir, you are Joker, you are the Emperor of the Underworld, you are the evil god of chaos, you are the Joker who plays with all beings in applause!"
"You are free, you were not born to be bound by the rules of the world! Morality is like a chain that binds around someone's head and commands them to do what they should do."
"Yes, this chain can bind people, but it never binds God. You can decide what is good and what is evil!"
Zhou Ran sighed lightly and said, "Jerome, your words have touched me a little, but unfortunately they haven't been completely impressed."
