Chapter 99 Top 3: DC - Arthur the Clown!

[Legendary figures from countless worlds in film]

[Top 3: Joker & Arthur: I used to think my life was a tragedy, but now I realize it's actually a comedy.]

[The World of Cinema: The DC Universe]

[The ranking is in no particular order and is unrelated to ability.]

"It's here." In the DC universe, Bruce Wayne was already prepared to record it for future use, but he never expected that the movie he would be watching this time would be set in his own world!

"The Joker, can that guy be shown the movie too?!" Bruce Wayne frowned deeply. The Joker was already difficult to deal with, and if he also received a reward from Skyfall...

No! I have to find a way to stop him right away!

"The Joker, Arthur? Are they together this time?" (Love Apartment world, Lu Ziqiao)

"Tragedy, comedy? Is it the story of an obscure comedian who rises to the top of the stage through his own efforts?" Xia Ling, from the world of Zhenhun Street.

"Hiss~ Could it be..." From the world of 100,000 Cold Jokes, an anonymous author.

"Hmm?" Little King Kong from the world of 100,000 Cold Jokes.

"Uh, wrong, wrong." In the world of 100,000 Cold Jokes, the nameless man rubbed the large bump on his head that even his吐槽 (tu cao, a form of online humor) energy couldn't get rid of, his little expression full of grievance.

Tch, you dare bully me? Go ahead and turn off the canopy! Seriously, I told you so! I told you so!

As the title slowly fades away, a new story gradually emerges.

The morning sunlight streamed through the windows; while most people were still asleep, some were already preparing for their day's work.

The radio kept broadcasting trivial news: workers' strikes, piles of garbage, and the apparent rise in oil prices...

A middle-aged man sat in front of a mirror, applying clown makeup to himself.

"I see, so the 'clown' actually refers to a profession." - Conan Edogawa, Detective Conan world.

"The world of ordinary people? It's not interesting at all. If we're going to watch, we should watch the strong!" Dragon Ball world, Vegeta.

"His expression seems to convey sadness..." In the world of Genshin Impact, Narcida.

The man tugged at the corners of his mouth with his hand, seemingly trying to make his smile more comical; however, as he pulled his finger down, a sorrowful expression seemed to suit him better.

Despite his best efforts to pull the corners of his mouth upward, he still conveyed a sense of sorrowful tears.

As the man continued to pull forcefully, a tear slid down his cheek, ruining his freshly applied makeup. He lowered his fingers, staring at his disheveled state, speechless for a moment.

However, the man couldn't rest for long; he still had work to do today, working as a clown for the supermarket, going out on the street to attract people's attention and make them look at the billboards he held.

"Ah~ This is the adult world. Whether you like it or not, you have to throw yourself into that S-like work!" Jujutsu Kaisen world, Nanami Kento.

"This beginning is so depressing! The clown who brings joy is secretly shedding tears..." Xia Ling in the world of Zhenhun Street.

[The scene shifts, and just as the comments on the screen predicted, the man is now dressed as a clown, a truly comical figure.]

The streets were bustling with people, littered with carelessly discarded trash, as crowds hurried past.

Nobody wants to stay for a clown, right?

The man paid no attention, using the advertising board in his hand as a tool to attract passersby. He danced joyfully down the street, seemingly without a care in the world.

The sign read "Clearance Sale! Huge Sale!" seemingly an attempt to attract attention with this gimmick.

However, the poor makeup, stiff smile, and clumsy circus performance only made passersby want to avoid her.

"Alas, my friend, that's not how clowns perform." — Star Journey World, Circus Master.

"If you want to learn, I can teach you some magic tricks~ I guarantee they'll help you attract customers." —Linnie, Genshin Impact.

As is often the case with universal truths, things in this world rarely go as planned. The man's comical performance failed to attract his intended customers, but instead drew in a few idle thugs.

They noticed this comical, crippled clown.

[He developed a desire to toy with the other person.]

They walked together towards the man.

"If you want to be the Joker, at least be a good one, you know that, right?"

Taking advantage of the man's inattention, a younger boy slapped the billboard away, quickly picked it up, and ran off.

"Hey, take it! Run!"

【"Hello!"】

The man shouted loudly, turning and desperately chasing after the billboard. However, his frantic shouts only fueled the thugs' mocking mood.

They ran while taunting him.

"Come on, clown, run! The sign is right here!"

"Look at how fast he's running!"

The thugs laughed and mocked, watching the man's weary running movements with amusement.

"Stop them!"

The man tried to ask for help from those around him, but pedestrians avoided him and the thugs, afraid of being bumped into.

No one is willing to help others, and no one is even willing to set their sights on men, those lowly, stinking rats at the bottom of society.

In the cold, mechanical world of the city, the only way to survive is to protect your own interests and avoid meddling in others' affairs.

The pedestrians' actions made it even easier for the thugs to run, and the man chased after them desperately, even risking his life by crossing into oncoming traffic!

The thugs eventually ran into a small alley, and the man, panting heavily, gave chase. Exhausted, he didn't even notice that the men weren't carrying his advertising sign.

[A thug who had been lying in wait suddenly jumped out from behind a pillar and slammed the billboard he had snatched from the man's hand into his face.]

[“Bang!”]

The billboard was shattered into pieces; you can imagine how much force the boy used!

In an instant, the man felt the world spinning, and his body collapsed uncontrollably to the ground.

"Awesome! Well done!"

The other teenagers began to cheer, feeling no pity whatsoever, only a sense of superiority, and even that wasn't enough!

"Come quick, beat him to death!"

The thugs formed a circle around the man, repeatedly punching and kicking him as he lay sprawled on the ground.

"Come quick, this guy's a worm, he can't do anything."

"Hit him harder! Hit him harder! Take his things!"

They grew increasingly excited as they beat the man until he lay motionless on the ground. Only then did they stop, ransacking the man's body before the thugs swaggered away.

[He ran while letting out a wild, unrestrained laugh!]

Look how noble I am! These lowly clowns only deserve to be trampled under my feet!

Chapter 100 Arthur's Maniacal Laughter

"What the hell! It's so annoying to watch! It's just like those three kids that Milon encountered when he was a kid in Star Journey! I really want to teach them a lesson!" Super God Armed World, Huo Linfei.

"This is robbery! It must be robbery! How can they be so brazen? Where are the police? Don't they have police in that world?" Xia Ling, from the world of Soul Town Street.

"Tch, American police. By the time they get out of there, oh well, there's a saying, 'Oh! It'll be too late!'" - Tony Stark, Marvel Universe.

“Of course, if you’re a super-rich person like me, they’re pretty efficient.” — Tony Stark, Marvel Universe.

"A billionaire?" In the DC universe, Bruce Wayne.

"Not for money, not for hatred, but for the purpose of evil, for the pleasure of bullying, what kind of city is this...?" Narcida in the Genshin Impact world.

The man gradually regained his breathing; the numbness of the pain had subsided, and now he could only silently endure the excruciating agony that seemed to tear his entire body apart!

[He convulsed, struggled, and looked at the shattered billboard, his heart filled with unbearable grief.]

[Holding her hand over the painful spot, she felt as if she had inadvertently triggered some kind of mechanism.]

Clear water gradually seeped from the center of the small red flower tied to his chest.

"Those are... his tears..." In the Naruto world, Naruto Uzumaki felt a pang of sadness. He seemed to see his own reflection in the man. The large fox inside him said that the dark, damp place and the puddles on the ground were the tears he had shed over the years. He didn't want to admit it, but... why does my heart ache so much!

"What a sad, oppressive, and chaotic world." —Tanjiro Kamado from the Demon Slayer world.

"This guy is utterly useless! Several weaklings whose fighting power can't even be shown can easily defeat him. What kind of garbage did he watch?!" Dragon Ball world, Frieza.

"Hahahaha!! See?! Even if you do nothing, you'll still be trampled underfoot! That's reality! Hahahaha!" Star Journey World, Ashio.

"Hey! If you don't want to get sent flying by me, you'd better shut your mouth!" —Milon, Star Journey World.

"Hey! If you don't want to get sent flying by me, you'd better shut your mouth!" (Star Journey World, McDonald)

"Hahaha, some nobody's brat, a laughingstock of the entire universe, stop spouting nonsense here!" Star Journey World, Ashio.

On a cosmic scale, finding a person is incredibly difficult. Even with the help of the Interstellar Alliance, the first generation of Milon and Milon are still searching for Milon's sister, let alone the treacherous pirates.

"Tch." In the Star Journey world, McDonald scoffed angrily, his mind racing with ideas on how to knock his opponent away.

Milon, on the other hand, had this condition for a long time.

"I advise you not to forget that I still have one more chance to fulfill my request through the Sky Curtain. If you continue to spout nonsense here, can you afford the consequences?" Mi Long threatened in the Star Journey world.

"You!... Hmph!" In the Star Journey world, Ashio gave a resentful snort and said no more.

"Wow~ Mi Long is so handsome! Even his threatening look is so handsome!" (From the Hundred Demon Records world, Tao Yao)

["Hahahaha~ Hahaha~"]

A burst of maniacal laughter erupted. The man's face contorted in pain as he desperately tried to suppress his laughter, but even with his features contorted and veins bulging, his hysterical laughter continued unabated.

The scene gradually zooms out, revealing the man in a therapy room. He has removed his clown costume and wiped off his makeup.

The maniacal laughter continued, yet his smile betrayed a hint of pleading and despair. He truly didn't want to laugh; he even felt an overwhelming urge to cry, but the man simply couldn't control his actions!

Across from him, the psychiatrist silently observed him; the man's condition was truly dire.

After a while, the man finally stopped laughing. His expression was utterly bewildered; the uncontrollable torment of his body was causing him immense suffering, and this pain only intensified as his physical condition worsened.

The man stared blankly into the empty space before him, his eyes revealing bewilderment, confusion, and numbness as he posed a question.

"Am I overthinking it, or is things really getting crazier outside?"

The therapist readily agreed with the man's words.

"The situation is indeed tense."

The doctor then let out a deep sigh.

"Everyone is worried. They're struggling to find work; these are tough times. What about you?"

The man gave a helpless laugh, seemingly at a loss for words.

Do you keep a diary?

The sudden question caught the man off guard, and he quickly took a drag of his cigarette to compose himself.

"Yes, ma'am."

"Great, you brought your diary?"

Looking at the silent man, the doctor called his name.

"Arthur, when I asked you to bring your diary when we met last time, could I take a look at it?"

As the doctor spoke, Arthur began to tremble uncomfortably. He felt resistant; he didn't want the psychiatrist to read his diary, as it made him feel completely naked in this world.

His body trembled uncontrollably, and he kept rubbing his body with his hands, as if doing so would make him feel a little better.

Chapter 101 The Child's Smile

"I used it as a diary, and also to record jokes, interesting thoughts, or observations."

In the end, Arthur took out his diary and handed it to the doctor. Thank goodness he hadn't brought it with him, otherwise it might have been stolen by now.

Although the doctor's movements as he flipped through the diary felt like a slow, agonizing torture, Arthur forced himself to endure the discomfort. He had had enough!

"I think I told you before that I wanted to do stand-up comedy."
