Watching the movie! It brought a small shock to the heavens!

The moment Arthur stepped off the bus, he felt a sense of relief; he was finally free from the malice of the passengers.

Even though it was my fault...

[His body hunched over, Arthur was utterly exhausted and desperate as he staggered to buy new medicine.]

[He continued his journey home.]

The world around him was shrouded in gray, devoid of any light, just like Arthur's heart, which felt out of place in this world.

[Walking down the long corridor, each step heavy with his own gait.]

Finally, he's almost home.

After checking his mail as usual and finding no messages, he finally returned home.

Once home, Arthur finally felt a sense of relief, no longer having to be on guard all the time outside, and was given a chance to catch his breath.

Putting down the medicine and taking off my clothes, my gloomy mood seemed to improve a bit.

"Xiao Le, did you check your email before you came up?"

Chapter 103 Murray's Talk Show

“Arthur seems much more relaxed after returning home~” Minglong Boy World, Sang Xia.

“If he feels comfortable in ‘home,’ he would probably be even more eager to come.” - Qin Ming, forensic pathologist.

"Didn't we just hear a woman's voice? That must have been Arthur's mother. Maybe Arthur was healed by family love." - Forensic doctor Qin Ming, Li Dabao.

"Tch, it's really annoying to see patients unable to accept treatment." Lin Yi, in the world of inquiries.

"I feel the same way, but I'd rather study Arthur's illness in case similar symptoms appear in my world later." Genshin Impact world, Bai Shu.

"Hmm? Human research?" Natasha, in the Honkai Impact 3rd Starry Sky Railway world.

"I've checked, Mom, there's nothing there."

Arthur responded to his mother's words while preparing food for her.

At this moment, Arthur's emotions were no longer filled with sadness and fear, but rather an unusual peace.

His mother, however, had a somewhat dazed look in her eyes and lay limply on the bed, motionless.

"He definitely didn't receive my letter."

"Yes, that's Thomas Wayne, Mom. He's a very busy man."

"? That Joker guy, was he plotting to harm my father so early on?" In the DC universe, Bruce Wayne.

“No, sir, I never intended to hurt anyone, I promise!” DC universe, Arthur.

"Please, I've worked for that family for years, he should at least reply."

From their conversation, it seemed Arthur's mother had worked for a long time for the wealthiest family in the city.

"Here, don't be so angry, eat it."

Arthur had prepared the food and placed it in front of his mother, his voice full of tenderness.

"You need to eat."

"You need to eat too. Look how skinny you are."

Listening to his mother's words, Arthur sat quietly to one side, enjoying the rare moment of peace.

“See, see! I told you! If home isn’t the factor that can bring stability, then it’s the people in the home.” - Forensic doctor Qin Mingshijie, Li Dabao.

“Something’s not right. If the relationship between the patient and his family is so harmonious, why was Arthur completely in pain before, without any signs of emotional attachment?” Zhou Xiaofeng asked.

"Indeed, judging from Arthur's symptoms, he should need a very strong emotional support. Could it be someone else?" Black Jack World, Black Jack.

The mother and son chatted and laughed along as the news anchor talked about Thomas Wayne.

"He's definitely a very competent mayor, everyone says so,"

"Really? Everyone? Who have you talked to?"

"Everyone in the news."

The two chatted and laughed together, then Arthur's mother spoke seriously.

"He's the only one capable of saving this city."

"This is what he owes us."

Just as Arthur and his mother were having a pleasant conversation, they suddenly both turned their attention to the television.

[“Gotham City NCB Studios presents: Murray Franklin’s Live Room!”]

Arthur quickly ran to the side of the bed and sat down, turning off the lights to make the picture clearer, and watched the program intently with his mother.

A rare expression of excitement appeared on Arthur's face.

If there is anything in this world worth pursuing, anything that sustains his will...

[Then! Murray's talk show is definitely one of them!]

The Murray Show is a comedy talk show open to the general public.

[The host, Murray, is Arthur's idol!]

He also hopes that one day he can stand on the stage of Murray's talk show and perform a grand show with his most admired idol!

As Arthur watched, he felt, in a daze, as if he were actually at Murray's talk show!

He sat in the audience, laughing heartily at Murray's jokes! But this time, no one gave him a cold shoulder.

Everyone present was laughing hysterically, and Arthur was just an ordinary member of the crowd.

"Thank you, the audience today is wonderful."

Murray greeted everyone with a smile, eliciting thunderous applause from the audience.

Next, Murray, in his usual stage presence, explained to everyone that the mayor had found a solution to the super rat problem.

"But seriously, these rats..."

"I love you, Murray!"

Suddenly, someone in the audience shouted "I love Murray!" interrupting Murray.

【"I love you too!"】

Murray's impromptu reaction once again drew laughter from the audience.

"Hey Bobby, can I turn on the light?"

"Who was speaking just now?"

A spotlight shone on Arthur, and instantly, he became the center of attention!

"Is that you? Please stand up, okay?"

"Please stand up for me, stand up!"

[Arthur, now impeccably dressed, was a far cry from his previous dejected and listless state. He was full of energy, confidently rising to his feet and surveying the scene with a smile.]

The entire audience erupted in applause for him.

"What's your name?" Murray asked.

"Hi! Murray, my name is Arthur."

Arthur glanced around at the hundreds of audience members, showing no signs of stage fright, and confidently introduced himself.

"Arthur? You have something special about you, Arthur. I can see it."

"Where do you live?"

"I live in Gotham City with my mom."

Those present laughed when they heard Arthur's words. In America, children are expected to move out after they reach adulthood; those who continue to live with their families are often looked down upon.

Hearing the laughter from the audience, Arthur felt a little embarrassed.

[“Okay, wait a minute, this isn’t funny at all. Before I became famous, I lived with my mom too; it was just the two of us.”]

"My dad went out to buy a pack of cigarettes and never came back."

Murray timely came to Arthur's rescue, and instead of using a harsh approach, he cracked a joke, which not only livened up the atmosphere but also captivated the audience with a simple wave of his hand.

Chapter 104 Fantasy and Reality: Dreams Must End!

"Is this Arthur's fantasy, or did Arthur actually visit the scene at some point in the past, and this is just his memory?" - Heiji Hattori from the Detective Conan world.

"The possibilities are greater in fantasy: decent clothes, a confident demeanor, and a body no different from an ordinary person—this should be Arthur's ideal self." —Forensic Doctor Qin Ming, Qin Ming.

"...Even if...it's just an ordinary daily life, is it only something that can happen in Arthur's imagination?" Minglong Boy World, Sang Xia.

"Phew~ Milon is absolutely right. This world is more ruthless to the weak than anything else." - Zhang Chulan, Under One Person World.

"This is the tragedy of the lower class, walking cautiously with every step, afraid that if they accidentally stumble and fall, they will never be able to get up again..." I am not a medicine god world, Zhang Changlin.

"There is only one disease in this world, and that is poverty." —Zhang Changlin, *I Am Not a Medicine God*

Seeing his idol speak so frankly about his past experiences, Arthur was no longer timid and faced everyone with unwavering resolve.

"I know that feeling, Murray. As far back as I can remember, I've always been the pillar of my family; I've taken very good care of my mother."

[After a moment of silence, Arthur's words were met with applause from everyone present!]

"She must love you very much to have made such a great sacrifice."

"Yes, she always told me to smile and to show that I was happy."

She said I was born to spread joy and laughter.

A gasp swept through the audience, followed by even louder applause! A tribute to Arthur!

[The live stream footage showed Arthur beaming with confidence, and Murray was deeply moved by Arthur's words.]

"I like this sentence, I really like it, please come down."

"Come on, you have to get down because of what you just said!"

[At first, Arthur stood there shyly, unmoving in response to Murray's words, but the audience applauded and encouraged him!]

The spotlight shone on Arthur, and cheerful music began to fill the air.

Like a star, he slowly walked onto the stage of his dreams amidst applause and encouragement from the crowd.

[The Murray Show! A world-class theatrical stage!]

Arthur and Murray gave each other a bear hug, their hands clasped together like longtime partners. Arthur, standing next to Murray, showed no nervousness whatsoever; on the contrary, he appeared quite relaxed and naturally raised his hand to wave to the audience.

[It's as if he's a comedy superstar right now!]

[Morry announced the halftime break, then turned to Arthur and whispered something.]

"That was great, Arthur. I loved what you said just now; it made me very happy."

"I would give up everything you see—the lights, the show, all of it—without hesitation, in exchange for a child like you."

These words are undoubtedly the greatest recognition and encouragement for Arthur! His idol has personally acknowledged him!

He excitedly hugged Murray, greedily savoring this moment.

However, ideals are often grand, but reality is harsh. In the dimly lit room, a sudden gust of cold wind brought Arthur back to reality. He watched Murray's performance on television, numb yet filled with longing.

In the end, only a trace of sorrowful self-mockery appeared.

How could I possibly get on Murray's stage? I'm just a lunatic...

"The dream is about to end, and Arthur begins to reveal his true nature again." (From the world of Inception, cobb)

"What a wonderful dream it is! Arthur has the stage he's always dreamed of, an audience to encourage him, his own spotlight and applause. But what is the real world filled with? Garbage everywhere, indifferent crowds, and thugs who vent their violence without restraint." Sunday in the Collapsed Starry Sky Railway World.

“Yes…this is certainly one option.” Otto, Honkai Impact 3rd.

"However, the care we cannot receive in reality, and the attempt to fill the void in our hearts with fantasy, only provides temporary satisfaction. Ultimately, we must return to the real world and face the difficulties of life." - Zhou Xiaofeng, "Questioning the World."

"Even in the most illusory dreams, in the end, we will all return to the world of wakefulness." The Collapsed Starry Sky Railway World, Underworld.

[The next day, in the clown's dressing room.]
