2478, North American Mythical War (329)

——DC,Darkness——

Universe 0, Gotham.

Bruce Wayne is preparing to visit the Gotham City Zoo.

Along with Mr. Joe Cole.

The former was because he received an invitation from Mr. Waylon Jones, while the latter was an uninvited guest who was waiting at the door of Wayne Manor, dressed as a clown, and insisted on following.

The reason why it is said that he is "dressed as a clown" is because he is not wearing the green hair, purple suit and white face makeup look. Instead, he has exaggerated clothes and an exaggerated smile. At first glance, he looks like a clown giving out balloons at the entrance of an amusement park.

A clown dressed as a clown, eh.

"..."

"..."

Ever since they got in the car, the two of them had been staring at each other in silence like children playing a boring game like who could speak first. Bruce was expressionless, while Joe Cole kept winking and making faces in an attempt to make him laugh.

"You'd better say something, young master, at least to persuade this gentleman to take off his makeup," Alfred, who was driving, broke the silence: "I think you don't want to see the headline tomorrow being "Gotham's richest man and clown visit the zoo"

.”

"...They don't have that much time." Bruce glanced out the window.

Alien invasion, Batman proliferation, robot rebellion, and Batman landing on the moon. After this series of events, Gotham became a little bit. The word Miss Bai Jingjing once said was...oh, yes, a little "cyber."

punk".

Although the construction of housing blocks and other infrastructure has not yet caught up, most pedestrians wear AR glasses. Occasionally, you can see guys with weird-looking robots strutting through the city. If you keep looking up, there is a smaller chance.

I saw a dark shadow moving between the buildings - there was no doubt that it was a certain Batman.

The citizens of Gotham seem to adapt well to all non-subversive changes. If the technology of the "Bat Spaceship" were not too advanced to be copied, there would definitely be more exaggerated situations in the sky.

In this environment, Gotham's "super criminals" have also "evolved" to varying degrees. For example, Scarecrow began to use a large number of robots, and the Riddler instead used various AR and VR devices to set traps and puzzles instead of appearing in person.

, and the Mad Hatter...he built a beautiful robot named "Alice" and became much quieter after matching it with AI, but it seems more worthy of being thrown into a mental hospital.

There are other criminal reserves, such as Hugo starting to study people's mental and thinking changes in the new technological environment, Bane trying to equip himself with more powerful exoskeleton armor, etc.

Only the Joker is still trying to amuse Batman - the absolutely neutral man.

"This Mr. Hitchhiker," after thinking about it, Bruce looked at the "clown" in front of him and asked one word at a time: "Who are you?"

He is using the identity of "Bruce Wayne" on this trip, so he must first determine whether the person opposite is the Joker, a famous criminal in Gotham, or Joe Cole, a consultant to the Wayne Group, before he can decide his attitude towards him.

If you think about it carefully, this is indeed a bit ridiculous. Batman has always treated the two identities of the Joker equally, but Bruce Wayne must treat them differently. Perhaps it is true to what someone said: Bruce is not playing Batman, but Batman is.

Play Bruce.

"[Oh~, what are you talking about? Mr. Wayne,]" "The Clown" said in a funny tone: "[I just work at the zoo you are going to, and I have to ask you to give me a ride because I am going to be late.

Just a poor free-riding employee.]”

The familiar role-playing character is the clown.

But every time he makes an incredible move, there is actually a relatively self-consistent reason, and this time the reason should be...what's wrong with the zoo itself?

As the richest man in Gotham, no one wants to cause trouble to Bruce. Knowing that he belongs to Batman, they will stay away from him. This means that there are things in the zoo that are dangerous to everyone regardless of their identity.

And the Joker's move was to prevent "Bruce Wayne" from being harmed by this danger, and he came here specifically to remind or protect him?

After all, even if he transforms into "Batman", he is just an ordinary person. Apart from a suit of equipment that is so technologically advanced that it is almost magical, he does not have extraordinary powers in the true sense.

Combined with the fact that even the director of the zoo, Waylon Jones, could not handle it and invited himself to solve the problem, the answer is obvious:

The power from [outside the world].

"I don't mind if you hitchhike, Mr. Employee," Bruce folded his hands and leaned forward, making a listening gesture: "But I haven't been to that zoo for a long time. Maybe you can give me a brief introduction on the way.

Let’s take a look, are there any new projects there?”

"[Oh! That's right, that's it!]" The clown said in an exaggerated tone, but because the makeup on his face was too thick, his expression couldn't be seen: "[I'm happy to introduce it to you!]"

Next, Bruce watched the clown fumble around in the pockets of his large clown suit, finding uninflated balloons, packaged candies, small electric fans, headphones, cooling patches, tissues and other unknown items.

Stuff it back in again.

I don't know where this outfit was stolen. Maybe the real employee was running around in a hurry.

"[Oh! It's here!]" Finally, the clown took out a crumpled piece of paper that seemed to have been rolled into a ball and re-unfolded, similar to a leaflet.

"'Gotham City Zoo Employee Code of Conduct'?" Bruce read the top row of words clearly.

"[Oh, yes, yes, you see...]" The clown seemed to be planning to hand over the piece of paper, but quickly withdrew his hand: "[No! This is employee code! You can't read it!]"

"..." Bruce leaned back and leaned against the back of the chair.

"[I mean, I should read it to you~ Ahem!]" The clown blinked and pretended to straighten the piece of paper:

"[Our employees work four days and three days off, and have two months of paid vacation every year, a year-end bonus of twenty to forty months, ten times overtime pay, and purchase five types of insurance and three types of rebate funds for employees.]"

...Killer Croc really doesn't know how to run a business.

"[In order to continue to enjoy such generous benefits, please remember the following regulations and do not violate them easily:]"

"[1. There are many kinds of animals in this park, but there are no crocodiles and penguins.]"

"[2. If you see the above two animals, please bow to the crocodile and beat the penguin.]"

Well...just Jones and Cobot.

"[3. This park has only a 'Pedestrian Area', 'Herbivore Area', 'Carnivorous Beast Area' and 'Avian Amphibian Area', and there is no 'Marine Animal Area'."

"[4. If you see the road leading to the 'marine animal area' or people with the area's staff badges, ignore them and call and report as soon as possible.]"

Um?

"[5. If you encounter tourists who claim that they went to the 'marine animal area' and got separated, please take them to the rest area and hand them over to black-clad staff to receive them and make a broadcast to trace them.]"

"[6. During the broadcast search period, even if you meet qualified tourists on the road, do not take the initiative to ask and guide them unless they are under age or less than 1.2 meters]"

This is a bit interesting.

"[7. If you enter the "marine animal area" by mistake, please repeat silently "This is an hallucination caused by the scarecrow's gas" and leave as soon as possible. During this period, do not talk to any tourists or staff in the area.]"

"[8. If you are unable to leave the 'Marine Animal Area', or have already spoken to tourists or staff in the area, please look for a performer dressed as a mermaid nearby for help.]"

Well……

"[9. If you return successfully, please go to the rest area immediately to look for the staff in black and follow the instructions, and do not talk to anyone along the way.]"

"[I wish you success in your work and a happy life.]"

"[Note: When walking with 'Batman', you do not need to follow any of the above rules.]"
