"I've always hated that name. You know you've always told me that my uncontrollable laughter is a disease? That I'm crazy?"
"Absolutely not, this is the real me."
"Xiao Le..."
Penny weakly called out the nickname she had given Arthur.
"Xiao Le."
Arthur repeated sarcastically, his original intention being to question Penny: why the deception, why the concealment, why the indifference?!
But now, anger and hatred are almost consuming his reason!
Forget it, he doesn't want to know anything anymore.
[This Penny also received treatment at that hospital, and she became mentally impaired and dull-witted. It's pointless to question someone like that.]
Just as no one ever cared about him, he wouldn't care about anyone else anymore.
"I have never been happy for a single moment in my entire life."
Arthur said coldly, then slowly stood up and walked to Penny's bedside.
"Do you know what's funny? Do you know what really makes me laugh?"
As they spoke, Arthur pulled the pillow away from under Penny's head.
"I used to think my life was a tragedy, but now I realize it's a comedy."
Arthur pressed the pillow firmly against Penny's head with both hands!
【"Hmm~ Uh~ Hmm~"
[“Beep! Beep beep! Beep beep beep!”]
[Listening to Penny's painful groans, listening to the constant beeping of alarms from the medical equipment!]
Penny struggled relentlessly, her weakened body mustering a final burst of strength in her fight. She kicked Arthur, tried to remove the pillow from her head, and desperately wanted to cry for help!
But under Arthur's cold gaze, she could do nothing, only feel her strength waning and her struggles growing weaker...
【"drop--"】
Finally, Penny stopped struggling, and the medical equipment fell silent after a long whistle.
She died, suffocated to death by Arthur with a pillow! She died a painful death, suffocating!
Arthur moved the pillow aside and took one last look at his foster mother's face.
Numb, aged, and constantly dreaming.
[To die a painful death, for you, is perhaps a form of atonement and liberation...]
Arthur turned and opened the window, breathing in the fresh air, feeling his tense heart gradually relax.
The sun shone brightly outside the window, its rays bathing Arthur.
Looking at the world outside, Arthur felt a sudden sense of clarity and understanding.
It seems like everything here is scenery I've never noticed before!
From now on...
【he!】
[Officially given a new lease on life!]
Chapter 127 Arthur's Suicide Rehearsal
"At this point, the clown should have taken the lead. His eccentric, violent, and vengeful nature is truly chilling." - Liao Duoduo, The Heart Hunter World.
"Here comes Arthur's summary of the movie... At first, I thought it was a story about an ordinary person changing their fate through their own efforts, but I didn't expect it to be so tragic." Zero World, Zhe.
"I guess I'm not really suited for this kind of stimulating plot. My sister would probably be more interested." Zero World, Zhe.
"Alas, from a certain perspective, it is indeed a story of an ordinary person changing their fate through their own efforts." — Tang Long, The Legend of the Little Soldier.
"The final light, in movies and TV shows, such brilliant sunlight is called angelic light, and it is usually shone on heroes." Genshin Impact, Frynn.
"And this light is now shining on Arthur, who has just killed his adoptive mother." Under One Person World, Feng Xingtong.
"The light of angels shines brilliantly upon the devil!" DC Universe, Constantine.
"This is so cruel! After all, Penny was Arthur's foster mother who took care of him for decades! How could she not even acknowledge the debt of gratitude she owed him!" Cheng Xin, Three-Body World.
"Still from a single-parent family, how much effort must Penny have put in to raise Arthur? Sure enough, Arthur is a pure violent idiot! An ingrate! He's just making excuses to vent his anger!" Cheng Xin, Three-Body World.
"...Although I don't think Arthur was right to kill, seeing how he got to where he is today, I feel I can understand him." Xia Ling, from the world of Zhenhun Street.
"You actually understand a murderer? My God, what kind of people are these! It's because of people like them that he's so reckless." - Cheng Xin, Three-Body World.
"Shut up, you idiot. If you don't have a brain, don't try to show off your intelligence." Welcome to the world of Classroom of the Elite, Kiyotaka Ayanokoji.
"Did I hit a nerve? You're getting anxious now. Looks like you're the same kind of person as Arthur!" Cheng Xin, Three-Body World.
"Tsk." Welcome to the world of Classroom of the Elite. Kiyotaka Ayanokouji raised an eyebrow. It's a real shame that the other person isn't from the same world as him.
[The scene shifts, and Arthur is now back home.]
He changed into a flamboyant yet sophisticated red suit and changed the television program.
At this moment, Arthur is rehearsing extensively for his upcoming performance on the city's biggest comedy stage.
As Murray delivered his welcoming address during the program, Arthur automatically replaced his own name with his own and stepped out with light, cheerful steps.
Unlike the Arthur of the past, this time he was confident and composed, as if elegance was etched into his very bones!
[He smiled and greeted all the audience members, then feigned surprise and gave a slight bow towards the empty space.]
Amidst enthusiastic applause and welcome, he casually smoothed his hair and calmly took his seat.
"Hey Murray, thank you so much for the invitation..."
"Hey Murray, thank you so much for inviting me to the show, it's been my lifelong dream."
Imagine Murray is right across from you, and consider how you would greet him.
Listening to the actors Murray had once invited chatting and laughing with him on TV, Arthur felt that his own words lacked something.
What is it?
After a moment's thought, Arthur's expression turned serious, and he spoke in a deep voice.
"Hey Murray, I've always..."
As he spoke, Arthur began to shake his legs uncomfortably, seemingly dissatisfied with his posture.
Arthur continued to fantasize about his conversation with Murray, searching for the effect he wanted.
"I'm a comedian too, want to hear a joke?"
The next moment, Arthur actually heard the cheers of the audience!
The sound from the television has now disappeared.
Hearing the cheers and applause from the audience, Arthur finally smiled with satisfaction.
"Really? You all want to hear it?"
【"All right."】
Unable to resist the audience's enthusiastic cheers, Arthur readily agreed. He glanced at his joke book and began his performance.
"Is anyone there?...Is anyone there?"
【Sudden!】
Arthur pulled out his pistol and pointed it at his chin!
However, it seemed that because he wasn't very skilled at the movements, he was a beat too slow.
Arthur awkwardly covered his face, and a chorus of shushing sounds rang out beside him.
Arthur put the pistol back into his pants, gave a funny laugh, and drew another round of laughter from the audience.
"Is anyone there?"
After saying this, Arthur pulled the pistol back from his crotch, pressed it against his chin, and fired without hesitation!
【"Click!"】
Although the gun was empty, Arthur still pretended his head had been blown off and fell backward.
[And the cheers around us reached their climax!]
[Cheers! Cheers! Thunderous applause!]
Arthur was completely absorbed in it all, a bright smile spreading across his face.
Chapter 128 Thank you, Randall, thank you so much!
"That's so cool, buddy! Did you see that? Arthur can now control his own illusions!" In the world of Super God Academy, Ge Xiaolun.
"Is that the main point? Arthur's actions seem like he's planning to commit suicide on Murray's show!" (The last part is a nonsensical string of characters and doesn't translate directly.)
"'I hope my death is more valuable than my life,' so Arthur plans to livestream his death to create an even bigger sensation?" Seven Worlds of Me, Shen Yizhen.
"No! Arthur's current behavior is being driven by the Joker. Given the Joker's personality—violent, capricious, and unscrupulous—this is from the world of Detective Conan, by Conan Edogawa."
"He finally gained control of his body, how could he possibly intend to commit suicide like this?" - Conan Edogawa, Detective Conan World.
"Yes, yes, in many previous scenes, the Joker has implicitly attempted suicide. In the elevator, in the joke with the female neighbor, it was his left hand, on the subway, and after the Joker came out, he also pointed a gun at himself." Qin Feng, Detective Chinatown World.
"Ugh, he's such a pervert! Can't he just be looking for thrills?" Detective Chinatown, Tang Ren.
"I always feel like something's missing, something that can connect everything..." Qi Letian, the detective from the Magic Corner Detective World.
These past few days, Arthur has been preparing for his performance on stage.
He dyed his hair green and excitedly danced in the warm sunshine!
[Despite his still frail body, he appeared to possess immense power!]
He danced freely, stretching his body out.
He used a brush to paint his face the same color as the clown mask.
Suddenly, Arthur found a photograph on the table.
[That was a photo of my mother when she was young. She had a delicate, pretty face, and wore a pure white floral dress; she was innocent and lovely.]
She was truly beautiful, a stark contrast to her current aged and frail appearance.
There is also a line of text on the back of the photo.
[Love Your Smile - Thomas Wayne]
The handwriting is strong and vigorous, noticeably different from Penny's delicate and petite handwriting.
[Could it really have been written by Thomas Wayne?]
Arthur's face remained expressionless as he casually crumpled the photo into a ball and tossed it on the ground.
He doesn't need to know which truth is true, nor does he need anyone else's approval or proof of his identity.
All he needs to know is that the harm and malice he suffered are real!
His hatred is real!
His existence is real!
That's enough!
As for the rest? Let it be~
"Hiss~ What a twist! Is Arthur really Thomas Wayne's son?!" Your Majesty, have mercy on me, Lu Xiaoyu.
"Um, I feel like this question will never have an answer." - Zhang Chulan, Under One Person World.
"Aaaaah! You pit-digging dog deserves a terrible death!" Your Majesty, spare my life, Lu Xiaoyu.
"Ho ho ho! Every possibility has a traceable clue, giving people endless imagination. What an interesting technique!" Sherlock Holmes in the world of Sherlock Holmes.
"Technique? Very well, you're breaking through your own dimension, huh?" —Anonymous, from the world of 100,000 Cold Jokes.
