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

All of this happened after Murray and the audience joined in mocking him; they only invited him for their own amusement.

He couldn't believe that the other party could invite him so casually after doing all that.

"Murray wants me to be on the Murray Franklin Show?"

"Yes, it's great, isn't it!"

"He wants to talk to you, maybe he'd like you to perform on his show?"

"What do you think?"

Hearing Arthur's shocked tone, the staff assumed he was just overly excited and confirmed Arthur's question once again.

"Great idea, that's a wonderful suggestion."

Arthur took a deep breath and agreed, ultimately setting the show's appearance time for next Thursday.

He wasn't as excited as expected; the fog in his heart remained thick and elusive, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

"It's truly a dramatic turn of events. After Murray mocked everyone, I thought Arthur's comedic journey was over, but unexpectedly, he suddenly ascended to the top stage." Genshin Impact world, Fryna.

"Hiss~ This reminds me of something similar: I break your leg, then give you a crutch, and then ask you to thank me." — Zhang Chulan, Under One Person World.

“That’s absolutely right. Originally, nobody knew Arthur, but Murray showed Arthur’s ugly side to everyone, and that’s how he got the label.” —Wang Lu, from the world of Once Upon a Time in a Spirit Sword Mountain.

“If he goes on the show again, Arthur’s label will be permanently attached to him! He’ll probably no longer be seen as a comedian, but just a comedic tool in other people’s eyes.” —Wang Lu, from the world of Once Upon a Time in Lingjian Mountain.

"Huh~ Now that you mention it, I suddenly feel like Murray is really vicious." (From the world of Zhenhun Street, Xia Ling)

"I'm more curious about why Arthur agreed. Is he planning to kill Murray on the show, with that fate-changing gun?" The villain initializes the world, Ling Chen.

Chapter 122 Arkham Asylum

After receiving the invitation to appear on Murray's talk show, a thought gradually formed in Arthur's mind.

However, before that, he needed to confirm one thing: was what Thomas Wayne said actually true?

If it's not true, then it's just Thomas Wayne's excuse; they simply don't want to admit it, and they can go back to their old lives.

But... if it's true, then I really have no one left to trust.

With this thought in mind, Arthur boarded the bus once again.

[What happened last time was that the bus was covered in graffiti, with various sarcastic and cursing comments.]

Since the last riot, the city's unrest seems to have reached a plateau. They seem to be waiting for someone to bring this comedy to its climax!

[Arkham State Sanatorium]

Arthur arrived at the place Thomas Wayne had mentioned.

Here, he will find all the answers, regain his grasp on the wheel of fate, and decide its course for a new future.

Inside the elevator, Arthur watched as a patient struggled desperately!

The patient's face was contorted in agony, and he was roaring incessantly, as if he were enduring immense pain!

The elevator was shaking violently, as if it might plummet at any moment.

However, the medical staff remained indifferent, seemingly unfazed by such incidents.

They tightly bound the other person to the bed, rendering them immobile, and then pushed the bed away, seemingly heading to some kind of treatment.

At the entrance to the archives, several people in hospital gowns were quietly staring blankly into space; upon closer inspection, their gazes appeared somewhat vacant.

Looking at the patients who seemed like idiots, Arthur paced anxiously outside the records room.

He simply couldn't imagine that his mother had received treatment in a place like this back then.

Could it be that my mother's disorienting and confused state was also the result of some special treatment?

If that's really the case, then... is everything Thomas Wayne said true?!

[Thinking back to the patient in the elevator earlier, he struggled desperately, like a prisoner about to be executed.]

[I... am also a criminal.]

[At least that's probably how it seems to the general public.]

Will my future end up like that person's?

[Struggling to become a mindless fool in despair?]

Thinking of this, Arthur felt a chill run down his spine and shuddered.

"Now, Arthur is about to uncover the truth, and the weight of fate will shift once again." —Wang Ye, Under One Person World.

"The truth...the truth..." Truman Burbank wondered suspiciously.

He's been noticing more and more things lately; is he perhaps uncovering some truth himself?

"Is this the final choice after despair? Not wanting to live in a false delusion anymore isn't too stupid." Honkai Starry Sky Railway World, Doctor Truth.

"But the truth often exceeds expectations, and those who think they are fully prepared often find themselves unprepared in the end." Zero World, Green Robe.

"I have absolutely no idea what Arthur will discover! But my heart is pounding." Xia Ling, in the world of Zhen Hun Jie.

"On one hand, I hope Arthur will discover the truth and change his world, but on the other hand, I'm afraid Arthur won't be able to handle the collapse. *gulp*" Xia Ling, in the world of Zhenhun Street.

"Huh? Who called me?" Star Journey World, gulp.

"He was so nervous about the sky that he was swallowing his saliva, little bunny." - Zhang Chulan from Under One Person World.

“'You're the rabbit!' Hehe~” From the world of 100,000 Cold Jokes, Anonymous (weak version).

"Phew! Buddy, sorry, my friend."

Finally, as Arthur waited anxiously, a staff member came out carrying a box.

[“All records from the last ten years or more are stored in the basement, and what you just mentioned was from 30 years ago, so…”]

The staff member, panting, explained to Arthur that he didn't mean to ignore him; after all, Arthur had a family member with a mental illness, and who knew what kind of person he was?

It's better to avoid trouble.

However, Arthur suddenly spoke up and asked for advice.

"Can I ask you a question?"

Why were these patients brought in?

Staring directly into the other person's eyes, Arthur finally asked the question that terrified him.

"Did they all commit crimes?"

[If I get arrested, will I also be sent here and become one of those abnormal people?]

"Yes, some committed crimes."

The staff member's answer made Arthur's heart sink.

"Some of them are just crazy, and they're dangerous to themselves and others."

[In their eyes, I must be a madman too; even a big shot like Thomas Wayne went on TV to attack me.]

"Some people just have nowhere else to go and don't know what to do, you understand?"

[I probably have nowhere else to go...]

After the staff finished explaining, Arthur felt his heart sink.

Is this a mental hospital or my home?

Arthur seemed confused, and his tone began to sound strange.

"Sometimes, I don't know what to do. Last time, I took my anger out on some people."

"I thought it would make me very uneasy, but it didn't."

The staff member paused, taken aback by Arthur's words.

What is he saying? Is this something he should be saying? Could his whole family really be mentally ill?

"What is it?"

The staff member sized up Arthur; his speech was strange. They needed to double-check the situation.

"I messed up, I did something very serious."

Arthur lowered his voice, as if he were telling the other person a secret.

As he spoke, Arthur suddenly laughed, as if everything that had just happened was merely a performance, a harmless little joke.

The staff member's tense nerves finally relaxed, but before he could even catch his breath, he heard Arthur continue speaking in that strange tone.

"You know what I mean, it's really too hard to always try to be happy."

The staff member, somewhat exasperated, thought, "This is never going to end, is it? It seems the other party does have some issues," and tried to reassure them.

"Listen up, buddy."

"I'm just an administrative assistant, similar to a staff member."

"I'm just doing paperwork."

"I don't know what to say to you, but you should see a professional."

"They have some projects, like municipal services."

The staff comforted Arthur, gently advising him to take care of his mental state.

Although Arthur doesn't seem wealthy, there should be some charitable services that can help him with his problems and concerns.

[Who knew Arthur would raise his hand and, in a mocking voice like a rooster, say...]

"Yes, they chopped them all down."

Arthur couldn't help but laugh. Even when there were public welfare departments, doctors were just reading from the book.

Nobody really cares about them!

The staff member stopped talking, fearing that Arthur's attack might affect him. He was almost finished with the documents he was working on, and he held up Arthur's mother's medical records as if he'd seen a savior!

"Alright, found it, Fleck."

Chapter 123 The Sad Truth: Arthur Was Adopted

"Okay, okay, when you're in a mental hospital, you'll be even more convinced that you're mentally ill too." - Anonymous, from the world of 100,000 Cold Jokes.

"And when you think you're mentally ill, even if you're not actually mentally ill, then you are." - Zhang Chulan, Under One Person World.

"The mystery is about to be revealed! Arthur will finally find out about his origins!" Xia Ling, in the world of Zhenhun Street.

"Sigh~ If we can find Arthur's mother's medical records at the hospital, it's highly likely that what Thomas and the others said is true." - Liao Duoduo, The Heart Hunter World.

"No, it still can't be proven. Because there was no cyclorama playing during the time we were looking for the information, it's possible that the information was switched or altered." —Detective Conan world, Conan Edogawa.

"That possibility cannot be ruled out. Given Thomas Wayne's status, doing something like that would be incredibly easy for him." — Heiji Hattori, Detective Conan World.

"Moreover, Arthur didn't know he might have been adopted, so everything he did was consistent with his belief that they were family." - Chen Jiaming, Magic Corner Detective World.

"I think Arthur must be their biological son. The way they get along is so gentle, considerate, and tolerant of each other..." Your Majesty, have mercy on me, Lu Xiaoyu.

"At least that's true for Arthur. Although Mother doesn't quite believe in Arthur's comedic talent, he's alright in other aspects." (The last part is a separate, unrelated sentence: "Great King, spare my life, Lü Xiaoyu.")

"Hahaha! This proves nothing! Every crew member on my ship is my dear family! We all love each other, and this affection transcends blood ties!" Whitebeard, One Piece world.

"Penny Fleck, let's take a look."

"Diagnosed by Dr. Benjamin Stoner."

The staff member slowly read the contents of the medical record. He just wanted to get rid of Arthur as soon as possible; this strange man always made him feel uneasy.

"The patient suffers from paranoid psychosis and narcissistic personality disorder."

"She was convicted for endangering the safety of her own child..."

At this point, the staff member froze. He involuntarily looked at Arthur, and seeing the other's confused, sad, and even somewhat helpless eyes, he was momentarily speechless.

Arthur stared blankly at the other person, though he had already prepared himself for the fact that his mother did indeed have a mental illness.

[He was even prepared to face the truth that he wasn't actually his mother's biological son!]

But seeing the staff's reaction, Arthur suddenly felt a tightness in his chest. He forced a smile and asked.
