"He will help us."

Hearing his mother say this, Arthur said with a hint of helplessness.

"But how many years ago did you work for him? 30 years ago? Why would he help us?"

Arthur's mother stared blankly at Arthur, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly spoke.

"Because Thomas Wayne is a good man."

"If he knew our living conditions, if he saw this place, he would feel uncomfortable."

As she spoke, Arthur's mother's voice choked with emotion. She knew the hope was slim, but could she give up? No! This was her last hope!

"I don't have a better way to explain this to you."

Arthur felt a pang of sadness. Could it be that his mother felt life was too hard now and was trying to use their past friendship to persuade her former master to help her? That was absurd.

Arthur didn't know how to shatter his mother's illusions; the letters sent out might never even reach Thomas Wayne, and would simply be filtered out.

[And even if it did arrive, so what? Why would such a powerful figure care about these lowly rats struggling at the bottom of society?]

Arthur looked with a pang of longing in his mother's eyes, unable to bear it.

"I don't want you to worry about money, Mom."

"I don't want you to worry about me. Everyone tells me that my stand-up comedy has reached a level where I can perform in large clubs."

Hearing Arthur's words, Arthur's mother was somewhat disappointed, and she refuted Arthur's words in an incredulous tone.

"But Xiao Le, why do you think you can do it?"

"Shouldn't one be witty and humorous to be a comedian?"

Arthur was taken aback. Did his mother see him as a rigid and boring person?

"Hey~? Why is this mother talking to her child like that?" Liu Mei, from the TV show "Home with Kids".

"Mom, you often say the same thing to me, so why are you criticizing others..." Liu Xing from the TV series "Home with Kids".

"Hey! You little rascal!" Liu Mei from the TV series "Home with Kids".

"Mom...I miss you so much..." Lolo's Adventures World, Lolo.

"A mother who doesn't trust her own child, if it were an ordinary person, it would just be a family conflict, but in Arthur's case, it feels like the last harbor that supported Arthur has collapsed..." Xia Ling in the Soul Street world.

"As a mother, I am my child's strong support~" - Red Wolf from the world of Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf.

"That's right, that's right. As a mother, you should wholeheartedly believe in and love your child!" - Kushina Uzumaki, Naruto world.

"Hehe~" In the Naruto world, in the cheerful version of Uzumaki Naruto, after Minato and Kushina were resurrected, the family of three was finally truly reunited. Later, the couple who learned everything frowned.

Kushina chased Hiruzen Sarutobi for a whole day and night, and finally, under Tobirama Senju's watchful eye, she gave him a good beating with the Adamantine Chains. Minato was also unhappy, even though it was to protect Naruto's safety, he couldn't help but feel resentful.

Fortunately, Sarutobi had been thoroughly scolded by Tobirama Senju these days, and upon seeing Minato's resurrection, he returned the Hokage position to Minato without hesitation and went to enjoy his old age in peace.

Late at night, after finishing everything, Arthur watched television alone.

He usually goes to bed early, but for some reason, he's unusually excited today.

[He kept fiddling with the pistol in his hand; the fear and emptiness in his heart seemed to be completely filled by the strong sense of security it brought.]

Arthur aimed his pistol left and right, knowing he could use it to defend himself if anyone bullied him again.

[I'll never be robbed by thugs again~ My life will get better and better~]

Thinking this, Arthur couldn't help but stretch and sway his body to the music playing on the television program.

[He danced with rapt attention, his thin, bony body relaxing more than ever before.]

"Hey, what's your name?"

"Arthur."

"Hey Arthur, you dance really well."

【"I know."】

"Do you know who danced badly? It was him!"

【"bump!!"】

[Gunshot!]

Chapter 107 Arthur's Spring

【"bump!!"】

The sudden noise terrified Arthur to the point of losing his mind!

He was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground. After a moment of stunned silence, he quickly recovered and turned the television volume up to maximum.

"Xiao Le, what's wrong? Are you alright?"

[The mother's questioning voice came.]

"Mom, what?!"

Arthur struggled to control the trembling in his voice! He pretended not to hear, trying to control his wildly beating heart!

"Did you hear that sound?"

"I'm watching an old war movie."

"Turn the volume down!"

"I'm sorry, Mom."

Only then did Arthur come to his senses that he had just fired a shot?

【why? 】

I didn't mean to shoot!

Why is this happening?! Why?!

The loud gunshot shattered the enchanting atmosphere and destroyed all the hazy, dreamlike illusions.

Arthur was breathing heavily, his face showing confusion and fear.

Yes, it was just an accident, wasn't it?

I won't touch it again!

"Arthur seemed normal, without any signs of confusion, but his tone at the end was completely different, so it shouldn't have been a conscious decision for him to fire the gun." — Yu Wenzhou, The King's Avatar World.

"Furthermore, his panicked reactions after firing the gun also prove that Arthur was terrified because he didn't understand his own actions." — Yu Wenzhou, The King's Avatar World.

"If it's a case of dissociative identity disorder, then the multiple consciousnesses have already begun to vie for control of the body, and the condition is probably already very serious." — Zhou Xiaofeng, Asking the World.

"But where will Arthur get the money for treatment? He can barely support himself; he's so thin he's practically skin and bones." —Zhang Changlin, *I Am Not a Medicine God*

"What's worse is that Arthur seems completely unaware of his current situation. Judging from his actions just now, the personality within Arthur is extremely violent, and he may not be able to suppress it." Seven Worlds of Me, Shen Yizhen.

"The Joker! So this is when the Joker appeared!" In the DC universe, Bruce Wayne, although he didn't have any useful information right now, if this viewing experience was like watching a person's entire life as before, then he could seize the initiative and find the Joker's weakness.

Thinking of this, Wayne stood up abruptly.

"I need to have someone investigate Arthur's mother."

The next morning, Arthur, wearing a hood, secretly followed the woman he had met the day before.

He followed her from a distance, watching her take her daughter to school, then following her in her car, traveling through various places until they finally stopped at her workplace. He couldn't go in, but he already knew she worked there.

Arthur didn't know why he did it. Perhaps the shooting last night had left him shaken, and he desperately wanted to find that woman who shared his dark humor, seeking the stability of coexistence with someone of his kind.

But Arthur's sorrow over his physical condition made him weak; he dared not approach the woman to greet her, afraid he would suddenly burst out laughing.

Just looking at it like this... is enough, isn't it...?

Arthur left reluctantly.

After that, Arthur, unusually, went to see a stand-up comedy show.

At this moment, a comedian in a suit and tie is on stage telling jokes about his and his wife's role-playing antics.

Arthur knew that to become a great comedian, he needed to learn from various sources and integrate them. For Arthur, who couldn't afford tuition, attending a stand-up comedy show was a valuable learning opportunity.

So he listened attentively while taking notes of what he learned.

Maintain eye contact.

[It would be even funnier if it involved dirty jokes.]

However, he didn't laugh when others laughed, and he didn't laugh when others laughed; he was out of place among those around him.

It looked unusually strange.

[At night, Arthur was alone at home, working on a joke, racking his brains and combining it with what he had learned during the day.]

Suddenly, Arthur's eyes lit up, he grinned crookedly, and confidently began to write.

Why did the old man pass away? Because he wanted to sleep with his wife.

Why are the poor allowed freedom? Because they can't earn a single penny.

The worst thing about having a mental illness is that everyone expects you to pretend you're okay.

【Perfect! 】

He himself was amused.

"Uh~" Xia Ling in the world of Zhenhun Street.

"Arthur's joke..." Under One Person World, Zhang Chulan.

"Um... Waaaaah..." From the world of 100,000 Cold Jokes, an anonymous author.

"Oh no! The young man is spitting out words again!" (From the world of 100,000 Cold Jokes, Time Chicken)

"You son of a bitch!" Little King Kong from the world of 100,000 Cold Jokes.

"It seems that Arthur's sense of humor is very different from that of ordinary people. Is it because of his living environment?" Minglong Boy World, Sang Xia.

"And Arthur's stalking of that lady was terrifying! Why didn't he just go for it!" (From the world of Cupid's Chocolates, Metata.)

"What the hell are you saying now?!" Jiang Haoyi, Cupid's Chocolate World.

"Haha, I think it's quite fun. Arthur has a real talent for this~" Li Huowang said in the strange immortal world.

"It seems that this gentleman above gets along better with Mr. Arthur. The two might become very good friends." Genshin Impact, Ayato Kamisato.

【"Sizzle~"】

Just as Arthur was engrossed in his joke, the doorbell rang.

He got up and opened the door; standing outside was his female neighbor, whom he had just met yesterday.

【Hi~】

After exchanging greetings, the female neighbor went straight to the point and asked...

"Have you been following me all day?"

Arthur paused for a moment, then finally admitted that unlike when his boss falsely accused him of stealing the billboard, this time, he was indeed in the wrong.

Arthur was prepared for his female neighbor to berate him for his lewd behavior.

However, no words like "You're such a pervert" or "You despicable stalker" came out; the female neighbor simply smiled gently, as if to say, "I knew it was you."

"I knew it was you. I was hoping you'd come in and rob us."

(Today, my female neighbor was harassed by her boss at the bank.)

"I have a gun, I can go tomorrow."

Arthur laughed, a surge of happiness from finding kindred spirits washing over him. His casual remark revealed his humor, far superior to simply mimicking others' jokes. Even the female neighbor was amused.

"You're so funny, Arthur."

"You know what? I do stand-up comedy. Maybe you could come see one of my performances sometime."

【"sure."】

Arthur then took the opportunity to mention that he could tell stand-up comedy and invited his female neighbor to come and watch sometime, to which she readily agreed.

While talking to his female neighbor, Arthur felt a confidence and composure he had never known before! He communicated as if he were a normal person.
