Why are there only loser heroines around me?

The unique four-stringed bow, the short hair with a lemon hair accessory...that was the only lemon who was still optimistic among everyone.

"Everyone~"

"I've brought here all the DC comics I read as a kid! It's easy to find other people's comic book commentaries online, but it's hard to find the original books. These are all my childhood treasures, so please don't hesitate to share them~"

This is true. It is difficult to find old versions of DC comics on the Internet. Even some "online pirated comic dealers" who specialize in dealing in antique PDF files do not have a complete collection of DC comics. The box that Lemon brought is definitely not all of them, but everyone might be able to find some information related to "heart" in it.

Ukyo knew Lemon had a lot of One Piece comics at home, but he hadn't expected her to have such a wide range of interests as a child, even liking darker genres. But when people were younger, they bought comics just to read Batman, and probably no one would buy a comic specifically for the Joker. Back then, the Joker wasn't as well-rounded and charismatic as it is now; most of the time, he was just a disgusting sociopath.

Everyone has something to watch again.

They actually just wanted to do something to help Ukyo. They couldn't stand by Ukyo like Yanami did and help him slay demons, but at least they hoped to help in terms of "backup".

Youjing did not attend classes as usual this morning. He did sit in the classroom, but what he learned was not the knowledge written on the blackboard by the teacher.

He spent the whole morning reading the DC comics he could find on the Internet. He had connections in the antique circle, and one of those young men like him happened to have collected DC comics. So Ukyo started reading from the first story in Batman #1940, during the "golden age" of 1, when the Joker first appeared, trying to find clues related to the "heart".

He posted his morning's efforts on the Night Watch channel—

There are many colleagues in the group, and Tamaki only brought in a few psychic detectives for him. However, after experiencing the "human-to-human transmission phenomenon" for a whole morning, there are now more than 30 psychic detectives from all over Japan in the Night Watch Channel.

Volume 78: Chapter Dear Mr. Ukyo, may I ask which car you are driving today?

They simultaneously looked at the long string of text edited by Ukyo—

Although the Joker has many negative images, the classic villain does not have a hobby of digging out people's hearts.

But I found a good news. Although the Joker is known for his crazy behavior and unpredictable criminal plans, he is actually very philosophical. The Joker believes that when people are pushed to their limits, everyone will show their selfish and evil side, and he is tirelessly testing this theory through his actions.

If you think about this "game", it seems that his purpose is to push us to our limits and use us as examples to show society his philosophy.

Hakuba (IP address, Tokyo): [Learning the Joker's purpose doesn't seem like good news for us, detective from Toyohashi]

Arthur (IP address, UK): [Thanks to Mr. Ukyo for the information. To avoid confusion, I carefully checked the room where I found the body last night. The heart wasn't there, at least not the one I was looking for. But I'm not sure if the situation is the same for everyone else, so I suggest everyone look carefully.]

Iwanaga Kotoko (IP address hidden): [Here's some information you might find useful: I searched the entire Japanese internet for all works related to the Joker, and found 197 in total. With the paranormal resurgence now underway, I'm sure everyone has some understanding of this catastrophe. The more specific people's imaginations of the paranormal become, the greater the power of that paranormality...

Everyone, the number I just mentioned is only the number of secondary works of this image created by Japanese authors. If we expand our perspective to the whole world, the number will become difficult to estimate. It is a collection of many weird "concrete imaginations". The power it possesses is no longer something that us mortals can match.

I've eliminated "fictional monsters" born from public opinion by guiding public opinion before, but this time, the same method may not work on the Joker. No matter how many secondary creators we find to whitewash the Joker, his classic image has been deeply rooted in people's minds and cannot be overturned.

My favorite food is vegetarian noodles (IP address, Toyohashi): [Since the Joker is a fictional villain, can we also create a fictional "Batman"? Let him save us. Superheroes always successfully save victims in their stories, so there's a good chance that everyone will be saved at the last second of the seventh day.]

Bai Ma: [Why the last second? ]

My favorite is vegetarian noodles: [Because superheroes love to be on time~]

White Horse: [.......]

Kotoko Iwanaga: [......]

I love some noodles the most. Yanami is the virtual ID in the night watch group chat. She left the detectives speechless.

Not to mention how many arrogant "detectives" are willing to pin their hopes on a fictional character. They only have five days left, so how can they invent a Batman who can fight against the Joker?

It took DC 70 years to ingrain the Joker's image, and they only had five days, which is impossible.

Secondly, the objects of supernatural resurrection seem to be limited to "monsters." They have only seen monsters from fictional myths appear in reality, but have never seen the heroes in the story appear with the monsters.

If a superhero like Batman could appear, the Joker would have been dealt with long ago, and so many people wouldn't have died in three games.

........

Today's Night Watchman Channel did not come to any effective conclusion, but Youjing did have to avoid the situation of "darkness under the lamp", so he went to the old lady's villa again when he returned home from school.

He knocked on every floorboard to make sure there were no traps or secret doors underneath.

He originally wanted to walk home, but a strange force drove him to change his route halfway and come to the bachelor apartment where he had renewed his rent.

The sunset was as red as blood today. Youjing went to the supermarket downstairs to buy cooking utensils and some fresh vegetables and meat. He cut the meat from the supermarket safe into shreds and put it into the pot to stir-fry. When it was almost cooked, he added the shredded carrots and wood ear mushrooms chopped by Muramasa. He didn't feel like eating spicy food today, so he only added two slices of green pepper.

Yanaijian sent a message asking where he was, she reached home but couldn't find him.

From the content of the message, you can tell that when Yanami said going home, she meant going to his home, so he didn't want to be the little witch in Yanami's heart, and he didn't want to give others unnecessary hope.

Eating alone is the most efficient. Even if he finds a new hit drama of the season to watch, the food on the plate will disappear quickly. There is nothing in this room that can distract him. He is trying to put himself into the perspective of the Joker and think with the logic of a madman. Many of his colleagues think that the Joker's actions are illogical, so his behavior is unpredictable, but Ukyo doesn't think so. The Joker is a very standard antisocial personality. He used to have many friends with antisocial personalities and he has fought against many antisocial enemies.

He pondered for 10 minutes until the whole plate of shredded pork with fish flavor was finished.

He found that he couldn't put himself in his shoes because his life was too logical, from the time he got up to the time he went to bed... every step ran like a precise gear. The clown definitely wouldn't go to bed early and get up early. Ukyo didn't know how a madman lived his normal life.

There was a constant stream of news in the Night Watch channel, with more detectives joining in to share intelligence. You Jing scanned the channels one by one, but these talented people gathered from all over the world didn't find any clues. The main reason was that they had cleared the crime scene "themselves".

Many people think that the Joker just wants to watch them collapse, and that he has not hidden their hearts at all. He may have eaten them long ago, or chopped them up and fed them to dogs. As long as some of them become crazy because of the fear of death within these five days, the Joker's plan will succeed.

Will people really collapse after knowing that their lives are entering the countdown?

Maybe, but most "good people" will still quietly wait for the end of their life countdown. Only some self-important lunatics will collapse when their lives inexplicably enter the countdown. Coincidentally, the smarter people are, the more likely they are to feel that they are destined to be extraordinary. They believe that they must be living in this world for a reason.

Youjing advised everyone in the Night Watch channel not to act rashly. If they received a message prefixed with the Joker ID, they must ignore it. Also, remind the people around them not to believe any messages or phone calls.

The Joker is very good at teasing people. In "The Dark Knight", he once planned a bank robbery. He took advantage of the robbers' greed to make them kill each other. In the end, he killed all the robbers and monopolized the money stolen from the bank.

The game "Heart" is very much like a test of human nature, but for the Joker, this game is too ordinary. According to his secondary character design in all works, his personality should be more "crazy", so Ukyo reminds them not to believe what the Joker says anymore, because he is likely to speed up the game.

At the moment Ukyo sent this message, Yanami, who was at Ukyo's house, received a call from an unfamiliar number.

"I hid the clue to the heart in the Central Library. There are five paranormal detectives in Toyohashi City, so I killed five of them. But what's the use of having so many detectives? So I destroyed four hearts and only kept one. Do you want to save your sweetheart? Then go to the Central Library."

Yanami does not agree with the term "sweetheart", and the clown who claims to be able to see through people's hearts does not seem to be that powerful.

This must be a trap. Yanami will definitely meet other psychic detectives who want to steal the heart in the Central Library.

But why didn't the Joker tell Ukyo about this? Wasn't it the hypocrisy of these "righteous people" that he wanted to expose to society?

"It's probably because of her ability." said the "mom" who was in the living room with Yanami.

Yanai suddenly realized that it was ability!

Because with Ukyo's ability, he can easily subdue his colleagues without fighting to the death. As for the clue of the "last" heart, the five people in the Central Library don't have to fight at all, and the clue will be monopolized by Ukyo. So if the Joker wants to create chaos, he must find five people whose strength matches his.

Ukyo was kicked out by the clown.

That madman used the ELO mechanism to pull another person into the game from his side. If he died in the library today because of snatching clues, Ukyo would also lose his mind, and the Joker would still be able to complete his plan.

But Yanaijian couldn't help but question herself: if she really died, would Youjing really avenge her? She didn't think she was that important to him. Instead of looking for her, she might as well look for the guy in the peaked cap in the photo.

Yanami didn't know that Ukyo no longer had anyone close to him. The clown didn't want to choose her, but she was the only one he could choose.

“——Hu~” Yanami let out a long sigh.

She decided to go to the library.

.......

.....

Youjing suddenly found that the Night Watch channel had fallen into a strange silence, and everyone suddenly stopped sending messages.

He waited for two minutes, but still no one responded.

The last message in the group chat was not a cold remark, and there was no problem with his network.

Ukyo realized something was wrong.

What do you mean?

It was as if a thick barrier had suddenly formed between him and everyone. The Joker must have said something to his colleagues, causing their "great silence," but why hadn't he received anything? His LINE private messages were silent, and there were no missed calls in his contact list.

Just when suspicion was building in my heart, a message came from an ID named Iwanaga Kotoko -

"What happened? Why is everyone suddenly silent?"

Yes, he wanted to know too.

"I don't know." Ukyo replied.

The two people on the screen made eye contact with each other and opened each other's private messages at the same speed. Since they were the only two excluded from the huge group chat, it proved that they must have something in common.

There was no unnecessary small talk between the two of them; they got straight to the point.

"What's special about you?"*2

Iwanaga Kotoko: "I'm missing a leg and an eye, what about you?"

Ukyo was stunned. Could someone without a leg or an eye still be a paranormal detective? People in their line of work had to fight almost all the time.

Ukyo: "I have all my limbs intact, no different from an average person. If I had to say what differentiates me from an average person, it's probably that I'm very handsome, a good student, and a good fighter."

This is not his boasting, but just normal intelligence sharing.

Soon, the other party gave a similar reply: "I think I am no different from ordinary people. If you insist on saying what distinguishes me from ordinary people, it's probably that I am beautiful, a good student, and cannot be beaten at all."

The two detectives, who were separated by two different places, understood at the same time why they were excluded.

One of them was excluded because his "ability" was too strong, and the other was excluded because his "ability" was too weak.

The ability here does not refer to the "reasoning" that a detective must possess, but another "fighting" ability.

Iwanaga Kotoko: "Sakuragawa actually dared to take this risk without consulting me. I won't let him off the hook! The person on the other side of the screen, I advise you to contact your girlfriend as soon as possible. My boyfriend might have already gotten into a fight with someone else."

"I don't have a girlfriend."

The other person replied, "I don't have a boyfriend either, but that doesn't stop me from calling first."

Ukyo got on his Kawasaki H2r. Iwanaga Kotoko didn't have a boyfriend but she called someone else her boyfriend, which seemed like a hooligan, but he didn't have the time to worry about other people's affairs at the moment.

A gentle call awakened the huge computer group sleeping in the basement.

"Kurozawa, help me navigate the fastest route to the Central Library."

"Dear Mr. Ukyo, may I ask which car you are driving today?"

"Kawasaki H2r!"

"...We have planned the fastest route for you. Estimated time: 15 minutes."

........

.....

Toyohashi Central Library.

The explosion was deafening.

The two detectives who arrived first engaged in a shootout inside. Yana, who was still observing the situation from the outside, was stunned. Did this clown's matching program come from scratch? He let her fight armed thugs alone? Could it be easy for Ukyo to take on four of these guys alone?

Yanai saw a masked man hiding behind a bookshelf, with two pistols on his waist and a submachine gun in his hand. He was shooting at a lady behind the collapsed bookshelf. She roughly knew the model of the pistols. In the detective assessment, the model of the gun is a required question. The gun in the masked man's hand is an Uzi, and the other gun on his waist should be an old Type 54, while the gun in the masked woman's hand should be a TTI Sand Viper from Taran Tactics.

This pistol has a built-in tactical sight and the shell ejection is extremely smooth and silky. It is the most expensive pistol in the entire Taran tactical series, worth $8500. It has low recoil and an incredibly stable trajectory. It is a krypton gold gun that only krypton gold players in real life can use.

The two men downstairs were shooting passionately, and the two men on the handrail on the second floor were competing in physical skills. The speed of their swords was so fast that Yanaijian could not see clearly. One of them should be using Beichen Ittoryu, and the moment of sword drawing, "the mind, energy and strength were instantly unified." The other one was using Shixianliu, and his sword moves were strange and unusual, and the angle of the sword was very tricky.

Damn it! Yanai couldn't help but clench his upper and lower back teeth, and the question in his mind popped up again... Could Ukyo really beat the four of them alone?

"Forget it, there's no point in thinking about it."

Yanami discovered that the four people had one thing in common: they all wore masks that could conceal their faces.

Yes, they are all detectives and they will have to stay in the circle in the future. It is impossible for them to reveal their appearance when committing a crime.

Yanaijian slapped her head and realized how stupid she was. Not only was she not wearing a mask, she was even wearing her school uniform. Was there really such a stupid detective in the world? Yanaijian glanced at the black school socks on her calves and thought, why not take them off and put them on her head? This thing must be very effective in "covering the face" and it's also breathable.

She came to save Ukyo. As the only person in her life who dared to mock her for being a loser during her heartbreak, Yanami cherished Ukyo. He was the one who changed her life. He had promised her that he would never let her end up eating alone in the bathroom with her lunchbox. He crashed his 8000 million yen Ferrari just so she could show off in front of her old friends and say goodbye to her past.

It's reasonable to risk your life for a friend like that, right? After all, no one can see her face with the stockings pulled over her head. As long as she can find her only heart and save Ukyo, what does her personal image, which is so precious to a girl, matter?

Volume 79: Chapter He can really beat four people alone

The car stopped 50 meters away from the Central Library. Ukyo had no idea what was happening here. Under the crescent moon, this exquisite modern building was bombed like the ancient Roman Colosseum. A corner of the reinforced concrete in the upper left corner was missing, leaving only the flames protruding from the inside, which was extremely bleak.

Crows were perched on the trees along the roadside, cawing hoarsely, and exploded book pages were flying everywhere. Ukyo rushed into the library with a knife in hand, hoping that he could resolve the matter before the special police set up a cordon.

........

.....

"The two people downstairs are fighting fiercely. We might as well take the opportunity to take the heart. The clown told me that he hid the heart in the third compartment from the left on the second row of bookshelves in the world history area!" said the swordsman who used Beichen Ittoryu.

"There is only one heart, but there are five of us! What good will it do if you and I get the heart? In the end, there will still be a winner?" The Shixianliu Swordsman blocked Beichen Yidao Swordsman's Tangzhu (which was chopped straight on the head) with his sword, and slashed with the reverse cassock with his backhand, cutting off half of his sleeve, and then stretched out the flying claw hidden in his left arm. The powerful inertia made the hook claw embed into the ceiling of the library. Beichen Swordsman thought that the opponent was going to take this opportunity to swing his body to the historical area and take away the heart first, but he didn't expect that the opponent would use the inertia of the flying claw to fly into the sky and actually changed to holding the knife with both hands, and used a "Tangzhu" with huge inertia to chop at his head!

Beichen Swordsman was startled, stepping back in panic. He didn't understand the point of such a thankless trick. He only needed to step back half a step to make the seemingly powerful blow, enough to split a person in two, miss! After the Manifestation Swordsman's sword slashed to the ground, his feet cracked the floor. His physical fitness was not ordinary, but Beichen Swordsman didn't care about that at the moment. He questioned where the other party learned the Manifestation Style.

But the opponent suddenly sneered expressionlessly, "What do you mean by 'Shixianliu'? I don't understand. I'm using 'Judengliu'. You actually managed to dodge my previous move, Beichen Swordsman, I'm really pleased with you. But Judengliu isn't my forte. Now I'm going to use all my strength to deal with you. Yingweiliu and Shuangyueliu are the pinnacle of my lifelong training!"
