Chapter 454 I'm Showing My Cards. I'm the Joker.
On the stage of the Murray Show, Arthur unexpectedly directly revealed that he was the murderer of the subway murder that night. At first, the audience present and the host Murray thought he was joking.
But Arthur looked serious and solemn and said, "No, I'm not joking."
The audience immediately booed, and Murray perked up: "Are you serious? Are you saying that you killed the three young men on the subway?"
The subway murder case has become a hot topic in Gotham City, and tonight's demonstrations in Gotham City are precisely because of this. The program needs ratings and attention. As the host, Murray will certainly not let such a hot topic go. Opportunity.
He asked Arthur: "How can we trust you?"
Arthur snorted and shrugged: "I have nothing now, nothing can hurt me..."
After he finished speaking, he smiled, as if he didn't answer the question, but he also showed that he was willing to take risks. Naturally, there was no need to lie about this matter. After all, he took the initiative to admit that he was a murderer, and he did so in front of so many viewers and the camera of the program. No matter what, Arthur will definitely not be able to escape the police's pursuit in the end.
Arthur grinned and smiled at the audience: "My life is a comedy."
This naturally made the audience boo, and Murray asked him with a straight face: "Do you think it's funny to kill those young people?"
"That's right." Arthur admitted without hesitation. His brain circuits and thoughts were completely different from those of normal people. He tilted his head and looked at Arthur: "And I'm tired of pretending not to be funny."
Seeing this, Bruce Wayne said solemnly: "What he was talking about was not a joke, but his own mental illness."
Peter Parker and Gordon both reacted when they heard this. Arthur once wrote in his notebook, 'People always want you to pretend you're not sick. ’
So now Arthur has completely shown off his cards, I don’t pretend anymore, I just have a mental illness, I am the joker!
He stared at Murray and said: "Comedy is very subjective, Murray, doesn't everyone say that? All of you, your system, your system knows everything, you decide what is right and wrong. Likewise, you also decide What is funny and what is not funny.”
Obviously, Arthur is not an ordinary mentally disturbed patient. In some aspects, he has this clear and keen perception. He knows that he is abandoned by the entire society and system, an alternative and a freak that goes against the mainstream.
When most people face this situation, they will think that the problem lies with them, but Arthur obviously doesn't think so - why does it have to be me?
Could it be that there is something wrong with this society, our constitution, or even the whole world?
There is no doubt that Arthur's crazy remarks were naturally resisted by the audience, and there were people in the audience clamoring to drive Arthur out.
But Murray ignored it. The controversy caused by Arthur was a good thing for him and his show. It would arouse public opinion and increase the ratings. This is a hot topic!
So Murray continued the conversation with the murderer: "I probably understand what you mean. Is this to launch a movement and become a symbol?"
"Come on, Murray, do I look like the kind of clown who could start a movement? I kill people because they deserve to die, they are scum, and everyone is scum these days, and the world is bad enough to drive anyone crazy. ”
"So you are a madman, and this is the reason why you killed those three young men?"
Arthur grinned and said, "No, because they can't even sing a song well."
His cold-blooded speech made the audience clamor again, and Arthur said loudly: "Why do you feel sorry for them? If I died on the roadside, you wouldn't even look at it! I learn from you every day No one paid attention to me when I passed by, but they, Thomas Wayne cried a few words on TV, and you cared? "
When Murray heard this, he immediately grasped the key point: "Do you also have a problem with Thomas Wayne?"
"Yes!"
Arthur admitted this without hesitation and asked him: "Have you ever seen the outside world? Murray, have you really left the studio?
Everyone outside is yelling at each other, no one is polite, no one is considerate of others!
Do you think someone like Thomas Wayne would consider the feelings of someone like me? Thinking about anyone but himself? No, they won't!
They think that we should be like obedient children, swallowing our anger and enduring everything silently, without going crazy. "
Arthur seemed very excited, and these words were also his inner feelings. This time, with the help of the stage of the Murray Show, he could completely express them to everyone.
It is obvious that Arthur has a very expressive personality and craves attention and recognition from others.
The audience in the video was silent, but outside the light curtain video, the audience began to talk and even quarrel. Some of them thought that what Arthur said was the truth.
And the current situation Arthur mentioned is not limited to Gotham, but also New York and other cities. They also have similar problems. The excessive gap between rich and poor has always troubled people no matter where they are and in every era.
Gotham City is particularly serious. What Arthur said on stage resonated with many low-level citizens of Gotham: "He is right. When did those rich people care about us?"
"No matter who we elect to power, the rich will benefit in the end. We have always been losers. What difference does it make if Thomas Wayne becomes mayor?"
"Haha, I think the craziest thing is that everything the madman says is right. What does this mean? Is our world also crazy?"
"Arthur didn't want to become a symbol, but he gave people the idea of resisting the system. We work hard not to allow rich people to fly on private jets and yachts all day long and spend their time... We should put Thomas aside ·Wayne’s circles are all hung on street lamps!”
Of course, not all viewers hold this idea. There are also many people who have always believed that Joker is a terrorist and a crazy mental patient. Of course, what he said is also crazy and cannot be believed at all.
In the video, Murray spoke excitedly to Arthur, feeling that his show was becoming more and more interesting. Of course, he was on the side of mainstream public opinion, and he immediately scolded: "You are too blaming, Arthur." , sounds like an excuse to kill those innocent young people! I can tell you, not everyone is a scumbag."
In the camera, Arthur stared at him with extremely sharp eyes: "But you are a scumbag, Murray."
