The Asylum of All Worlds

Chapter 246 Prey
All the chaos will eventually calm down, just like the farce that spread across the city a few days ago, it became normal after a few days.

And under all the calm, there will always be chaos hidden.

It's like Gotham today.

On the instant noodles, it is still feasting and feasting, trying all its strength to show its luxury.
Just like it used to be.
However, there seem to be some differences.

This can be reflected in the daily newspapers.

What occupy the headlines are no longer titles such as "Looking for the Mayor" and "Completion of a certain building" and so on.

But gradually, it was replaced by some interesting events.

A robbery in an alley, a body found in the early hours, an explosion in a suburb at midnight.

These things one after another, seem to have become a kind of embellishment of this gothic city.

Well, these are all understandable, and some are not easy to understand.

It's as if on the street, I found a person who was completely frozen into ice, or, a poor guy who was suffocated by a few vines that came out of the mud. The traffic lights on the road changed inexplicably. It became a green question mark, between the buildings, someone saw a figure crawling like a cat

All kinds of strange phenomena appeared in Gotham, as if something flowed out from under the gorgeous coat wrapped in it, exuding a trace of an increasingly strong strange smell.

And as early as possible, there seemed to be a new headline on the Gotham Daily.

a person died
Died of laughing.

Although this sounds absurd, the photos of the deceased at the bottom of the newspaper make people have to believe it.

The man was indeed laughing, his facial muscles were convulsed, the corners of his mouth were pulled upwards at an unbelievable angle, and his ferocious eyes were bloodshot. Everyone who sees this photo.

Among them, Harley Quinn, who was reading the newspaper, was naturally included.

She held the newspaper tightly in her hand, and with the other hand, she gently stroked the dead face distorted by a smile in the photo. Her eyes, which had never had any real emotions, turned out to be because of this horrible photo. , showing a trace of emotion.

"finally found you."

North City of Gotham City.

Just like all the old urban areas, there are still the beautiful buildings from half a century ago, popular commercial areas, and spacious roads. Well, these evaluations are all from residents who are over [-] years old. Mouth, now there are only large areas of old buildings left here, it is a pity to flatten them, but it is useless to stand like this, just like those elderly residents who are unwilling to leave, holding on to the scenery of their youth Don't let go, but other than giving you courtesy and respect, they actually don't take you seriously at all.

And in this area, there was the largest playground in Gotham at that time.

Listen clearly, I'm talking about the time
Now it is already a "garbage dump" that few people come to patronize all year round.

Weeds everywhere, rusty rides.The roller coaster and the merry-go-round, which have been in disrepair for a long time, consume too much power. It was three months ago that the power was turned on last time.

These things were piled up on the ground as if they were dying. Speaking of which, it seemed that this place was not as good as a garbage dump, at least the garbage dump did not charge rent.

Today however.

The amusement park was unexpectedly brightly lit. The director turned on all the facilities and lights that could move here, and took a look at it suddenly. It would even make people think that the amusement park had returned to its previous scenery.

Of course, all of this is just an illusion.

This false image is for a person with a brain disorder. This person is a lunatic, a fool, in short, he is definitely not a normal person.

After all, how could a normal person have the idea of ​​buying such a dump.

Under the Ferris wheel, the dense lights make people's eyes hurt.

The two stood side by side under the light.

Among these two people, one is the director of this amusement park and the other is the lunatic.

He was wearing a purple top hat and a crumpled purple dress, and he was holding a gentleman's walking stick that looked high-end but was dirty. He had a slightly hunched back, and under the trousers, he With two mismatched socks exposed, this person can feel the strangeness rushing to his face just by looking at the silhouette.

Moreover, this is still the case without looking at the face.

The director didn't want to look at this person's face, because at the beginning, the director tentatively glanced at the sharp chin under the brim of the other person's hat, and then, the obviously sick and pale complexion made him feel emotional. An inexplicable sense of panic.

Seriously, if this guy wasn't the only idiot in 5 years who wanted to buy the whole playground, the director would have kicked him out in the first second.

"How do you feel?" The headmaster said expectantly.

"Hey hey." The man let out a sharp laugh, as if his throat had been burned by something: "Why do you always take me around this area, don't tell me Is the place more dilapidated than here?"

"How...how is it possible." The director immediately retorted, but the guilt was beyond words.

"Ahahaha——" that person seemed to be smiling even more happily: "I like people like you, that is, you are an idiot who doesn't have any self-knowledge even though his lies are easily exposed."

The director swallowed unnaturally. He was wondering whether he should beat this guy up if he didn't buy the place in the end.

"Ah, ah, you must be thinking, if I don't buy this place in the end, you must beat me up."

"No. I don't think so."

"Oh, that's good." The man still said in a weird tone: "Actually, this place is too bad, I can't buy this place."

"What!" The director frowned: "Did you come all the way here to make fun of me?"

"Ahahahaha——Look, look, I've said it all, you are not suitable for lying, and now I add another one, that is, you are really easy to lie."

He suddenly burst out laughing inexplicably, as if laughing to the point that his stomach hurts and he had to bend down.

The director looked at the other party inexplicably, he didn't even know why the other party was smiling.

"Ha-ha--well, it's not bad here."

The man finally smoothed his breath, said, and then stretched out a hand for a handshake gesture.

"So, let's make a deal."
