Chapter 125 False Love
"Arthur still has the love of a lover; love can warm his cold heart." Super Beast Armed World, Snow Queen.
"That's right, I, Grey Wolf, will do anything for my dear wife!" Grey Wolf from the world of Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf.
"Oh? Then go catch me a sheep." —Red Wolf from the world of Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf.
"You can rest easy at home, honey. The greatest inventor, Grey Wolf, has invented a time machine!" (From the world of Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf, Grey Wolf)
"If we could go back to the past, before the Sheep Village was even established, we could catch as many sheep as we wanted!" —Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf world, Big Big Wolf.
"A time machine? Friend, you must be joking!" - Tony Stark, Marvel Universe.
“Tony, oh man, we should talk. You have no idea how many forces are united against us right now.” —Obadiah Stanislav, Marvel Universe.
"Hopefully, the female neighbor can soothe Arthur's wounds and help him recover." Metata, Eros Chocolate World.
"Right? Arthur looks so repressed and desperate now..." Xia Ling, from the world of Zhen Hun Jie.
"It's time to go to bed."
As Arthur was carefully stroking the items on the coffee table, the gentle voice of his female neighbor suddenly came from inside the house.
【"OMG!"】
As Arthur walked out of the house, the female neighbor was startled, a sense of dread rising within her as she watched his retreating figure!
Anyone would scream in fright if they saw a soaking wet person inexplicably sitting on their sofa in the middle of the night.
【"what are you doing here?"】
Looking at the silent Arthur, and remembering her sleeping daughter inside, the female neighbor mustered her courage and spoke to Arthur.
"You've entered the wrong apartment."
Damn it, I should have locked the door first thing when I got home!
Seeing Arthur's obvious emotional state, the female neighbor finally remembered that he seemed to be her neighbor across the street.
"Your name is Arthur, right? You live at the other end of the corridor."
Arthur remained silent, expecting his female neighbor to come over, hug him, and softly ask what had happened.
But no! He could even detect fear and unease, wariness and dread, in his female neighbor's voice!
Why?! Aren't you my girlfriend?
Why are you doing this to me?!
Why don't you ask me what happened?
"I really need you to leave."
You even... asked me to leave...
"My daughter is sleeping in another room, please!"
Hearing his female neighbor's almost pleading tone, Arthur finally responded.
His deep, hoarse voice sounded like the grating crack of dried-up wood.
"I'm very unhappy today."
Arthur had already guessed a fact, but he didn't want to accept it!
The female neighbor only said those things to me because her daughter was asleep at home!
That must be it!
"Should I call someone? Is your mother home?"
However, the other person's next words shattered all of Arthur's illusions!
[His mother? Oh, Penny, didn't you go to the hospital with him last time? Why are you asking this question?]
Arthur slowly looked at his female neighbor, with a last glimmer of hope.
But what did he see?
All he saw was his female neighbor's terrified expression, her horrified eyes, and her retreating as if she were afraid of him and wanted to get away from him!
So, this one is fake too?
Slowly raising his right hand as if to make a gun, Arthur looked at his female neighbor, a final trace of lingering affection flashing in his eyes.
But all he saw was his female neighbor covering her mouth in fear, staring at him as if he were a madman!
It was as if he was afraid that making even the slightest sound would provoke him to rush forward and hurt her.
Oh, I see~
[With his hand pressed against his forehead, Arthur's mind raced through images of himself and his female neighbor.]
[A dark joke inside the elevator; this city is so desperate it makes you want to commit suicide.]
[After being discovered following someone, he invites them to his next stand-up comedy performance.]
[Encouragement during performances, smiles, and companionship and heart-to-heart talks after performances.]
[The first person to acknowledge that they have eliminated social scum.]
The only person who accompanied me to the hospital to visit my mother...
So... it was all a lie...
Arthur gazed longingly at his female neighbor, his hand pressed tightly against his forehead as if it were a real gun, ready to blow his head off at any moment!
"It's over, even the last hope has been shattered." The Scum Villain's Self-Saving System, Shen Qingqiu.
"This is Arthur's last pillar of support. When a person has nothing left to care about, he either destroys himself or goes completely insane." - Super God Academy World, Dukao.
"Self-destruction or world destruction? Neither sounds too good." Feng Xingtong, Under One Person World.
"No, I think I've probably sorted out all the clues." Narcida, Genshin Impact.
"As expected of Lord Little Lucky Grass!" In the Genshin Impact world, Nyuru.
"So fast? Does that mean my reasoning skills have deteriorated?" Noda Hao, from the Detective Chinatown world.
"Oh? Then could this little auspicious grass king please answer our questions?" Fu Hua, Honkai Impact 3rd world.
“Of course, no problem. Just call me Narcida. First of all, we already know that Arthur has two personalities. The one we usually see is Arthur, and the other should be called the Joker.” Narcida in the Genshin Impact world.
"The most obvious difference between these two personalities, besides the difference between their left and right hands, is their color." — Narcida, Genshin Impact.
"Arthur is represented by yellow, symbolizing cowardice, kindness, and weakness, while the clown is represented by red, symbolizing eccentricity and violence." — Narcida, Genshin Impact.
"Initially, after Arthur laughed maniacally at the clinic, his personality must have switched for a moment, which is why he told the doctor about things that didn't actually happen." - Genshin Impact, Narcida.
"This also means that Arthur and the Joker's memories are independent." — Narcida, Genshin Impact world.
"After Arthur finished laughing, he fell into a long silence. At that time, his left and right hands struggled against each other, each trying to suppress the other." Genshin Impact, Narcida.
"So, I guess the laughter is probably due to a swap between two personalities, or rather, Arthur's mental breakdown caused by negative emotions, which the Joker tries to regain control of." - Narcida, Genshin Impact.
"The two personalities should have interacted three times so far." —Narcissus, Genshin Impact.
"The first time was when Arthur got the pistol and was dancing at home. His left hand, representing the clown, suddenly fired the gun without warning. He has a volatile and violent personality, and his first attempt at communication failed." - Genshin Impact, Narcida.
"The second time was when Arthur was beaten by three young men on the train. His Joker persona came out and killed the three men. Afterwards, the two of them escaped and danced together." Genshin Impact, Narcida.
"This was the second and most successful exchange between the two personalities. Arthur no longer rejected and suppressed the Joker, but understood that the Joker wanted to protect him." Genshin Impact world, Narcida.
"In the end, the two danced together for the final curtain call, and the clown finally understood Arthur's hardships and dreams." Genshin Impact, Narcida.
"The two reached a consensus and understood each other, which led to Arthur's personality changing drastically later on. He retained his own personality while also possessing the sharp edge of a clown." - Genshin Impact, Narcida.
"This is also reflected in the subsequent performances. Arthur often uses two tones, representing that Arthur and the Joker are actually brothers performing on the same stage." Genshin Impact world, Narcida.
"There was a third time. Everything that happened to Arthur at his female neighbor's house must have been Arthur's hallucination!" In the Genshin Impact world, Narcida.
"Huh? Really?" Xia Ling in the Soul Town Street world.
"Is there still a chance for things to turn around?" Metata, the world of Cupid's Chocolates.
Chapter 126 New Life!
“Yes, everything Arthur just experienced must have been a carefully orchestrated illusion by the clown.” Genshin Impact, Narcida.
"Besides Arthur and the Joker's yellow and red, there is actually a third color: blue." — Narcida, Genshin Impact.
"This color has only appeared once, so it's easy to overlook." — Narcida, Genshin Impact.
"When Arthur fantasizes about appearing on Murray's talk show, he's wearing blue clothes." Genshin Impact, Narcida.
“And just now, Arthur didn’t change his clothes on the way from the hospital to his female neighbor’s house.” Genshin Impact, Narcida.
"In the hospital, he was wearing a yellow coat and a red shirt; it was Arthur and the Joker together." —Narcissus, Genshin Impact world.
"But when I was at my female neighbor's house, my top turned blue, which means it was all an illusion." — Narcida, Genshin Impact.
"The yellow jacket and blue shirt represent Arthur's hallucinations, while the missing red shirt signifies the Joker controlling the hallucinations, serving as a key element behind the scenes." - Narcida, Genshin Impact.
"Wow~ You're so observant! I didn't even notice that Arthur's shirt color changed." —Zhang Chulan, Under One Person World.
"I, I, I've discovered it, but I haven't pieced together all of it yet." Qin Feng, Detective Chinatown World.
"The logic is all correct, and the details match perfectly. Damn, there are so many amazing guys out there. I still have to keep working hard!" - Heiji Hattori from the Detective Conan world.
"Then why did the clown arrange such an illusion for Arthur? What was his purpose?" (Ling Cage World, Bai Yuekui)
"It should be to completely destroy all of Arthur's hopes, so that Arthur can erase his own personality control in the mental world." Genshin Impact, Narcida.
"The evidence is that when Arthur recalls his mother's reaction to his abuse, his eyes are filled with hatred. Therefore, the Joker may be the primary personality of Arthur's body!" - Yusaku Kudo, Detective Conan World.
"That's why Arthur forgot things from his childhood and laughs no matter what kind of harm he suffers. Because he was originally created by the Joker to be a flawed personality to bear pain!" - Conan Edogawa, Detective Conan world.
"And now, the Joker wants to regain his body, so he wants to make Arthur lose all hope and support, and with a huge mental shock, guide Arthur to kill his own existence in the mental world in despair!" Qi Letian, Detective World of Magic Corner.
"Or, or rather, it's about erasing the status of one's own primary personality and standing behind the Joker personality from then on." Qin Feng, Detective Chinatown World.
"Thus, the whole truth has been revealed." —Sherlock Holmes, the world of Sherlock Holmes.
Of course, this is just the opinion of a group of people on the Sky Screen. Others believe that the Sky Screen will separate fantasy from reality, and this is what actually happened.
Both sides expressed their own opinions.
As for the truth, it's a matter of opinion.
Arthur left, without any regrets, leaving behind the home of his former dream lover.
Walking down the corridor, Arthur's steps were incredibly firm, each one resounding and powerful.
Back home, Arthur laughed maniacally, realizing it was all just his imagination; he had lost all hope in the world.
He no longer suppressed his maniacal laughter, but instead allowed it to run rampant, releasing his emotions!
【"Shut up!"】
[Someone was trying to tell Arthur to shut up, but at this moment, Arthur didn't care about such a trivial matter.]
He just wanted to vent!
Even if it's in the way he hates most—a maniacal laugh!
He has nothing left to lose.
No one in this world can hurt him now!
And what Arthur needs to do next is take revenge!
[To those who have hurt you and never knew how to respect others, give them a powerful counterattack!]
【the next day.】
Arthur went to his mother's hospital room again.
This time, he left his coat completely open, revealing a bright red shirt, as if thick blood had stained the entire lapel.
He sat in the chair, constantly smoking, filling the entire ward with smoke.
Arthur remained unconcerned as Penny lay on the bed staring blankly at him.
"Penny Fleck."
Arthur softly called out his adoptive mother's name, momentarily at a loss for words; the anger of being deceived for years had finally ignited!
