Chapter 59 Dialogue【Please recommend for collection】

Thanks to the pervasive coverage of modern media.

The 'clown shooting' incident hit the front pages of every major news outlet in almost half an hour.

"Arthur Fleck."

In the driver's seat, agent Zhou told Amanda in the passenger seat the information he had obtained through the FBI intelligence system while driving to the neighborhood where the shooting took place.

"According to the description of the bar owner, I investigated his medical records and found that he has a history of serious mental illness and has been taking various drugs for treatment for a long time. In terms of financial reports, he has not updated his financial reports for a long time. From the latest credit card records Look, he's already heavily in debt..."

"A poor and marginalized person at the bottom of society."

Listening to Agent Zhou's description, Amanda easily pictured a poor figure in her mind.

"However, that doesn't explain everything he does in the bar."

There are poor guys like Arthur everywhere in the United States.

But no one is as 'dangerous' as him.

"More than a hundred people have fallen into a state of 'laughing' because of the clown. We must do something to prevent this situation from deteriorating."

Thinking of the death of Harvey Cruise and the white talk show actors in the bar, Amanda couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency in her heart.

The two knew very well that this kind of wild laughter scene was not as 'happy' as it appeared on the surface.

On the contrary, this happiness is enough to kill the client.

Once the laughers die, it will definitely be the worst death in the United States since 911/[-].

……

"Mom, I did it..."

On the streets of downtown New York, Arthur stood on the roof of the car, watching everything around him.

The corners of the mouth under the clown's mask raised uncontrollably, and his heart was filled with joy.

"I finally brought happiness to everyone as you said!"

The laughter in his mouth became hoarse and sharp, but Arthur continued his happy dance steps as if he didn't notice it at all. He waved his hands and directed the people around him to keep laughing wildly.

Look up, look at the camera on the helicopter, and bend slightly to make a comical gift.

The next moment, he raised his head, and the red clown mask clearly landed on the camera's screen.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……"

On the helicopter, the camera and the red clown mask on Arthur's face looked at each other. The corners of the cameraman's mouth curled up uncontrollably, and an uncontrollable laugh came from him. There was a sound in his mouth, and accompanied by violent laughter, the lens in the cameraman's hand began to shake.

And all of this was clearly conveyed to the audience in front of the TV in the live news broadcast.

"Quick, cut off the signal!"

Aware of the abnormality of the live broadcast, the TV station responded quickly.

They cut off the live broadcast signal on the helicopter to prevent the situation from spreading further.

"How do you explain, doc, how laughing gas affected the camera operator on the helicopter?"

"As the name suggests, laughing gas is an extremely dangerous gas. There was obviously a high concentration of laughing gas at the scene of the accident. He floated along the air to the helicopter, and the cameraman who took the picture inadvertently inhaled the gas. , That's why this happens, which further illustrates the danger of laughing gas..."

At the same time, news about the cameraman also appeared on the TV media.

The pervasive reporting of the news media not only covers events, but also treats peers.

……

"Gas mask."

Drive the car and rush to the shooting scene in the center of New York City.

Detective Zhou looked at Amanda who got out of the car, and immediately opened his mouth to remind her.

"You don't really think that what makes people laugh crazily is the laughing gas claimed by the media?"

Hearing Agent Zhou's reminder, Amanda raised her eyebrows and said.

"I do not think so."

Facing Amanda's words, agent Zhou Yi put on the gas mask in his hand with a silent face, and replied in a muffled voice: "But, the federal government needs everyone to think so."

Subconsciously raised her hand to take the gas mask thrown by Detective Zhou, Amanda hesitated for a moment, and put the gas mask on her face smoothly.

Enter the center of the siege through the New York City Police cordon.

Amanda saw the source of all events, the Joker, or Arthur.

"Arthur, we need to talk."

Subconsciously clenched the handle of the gun in her hand, Amanda looked at the crowd laughing wildly around her. She saw that many of them had painful expressions on their faces. Tears mixed with saliva flowed down their faces. There is still no sign of stopping, knowing that there is no time for her to wait any longer.

She took a deep breath, looked at the clown on the roof of the car in the distance, and then shouted.

The name in Amanda's mouth made the laughing and happy figure on the roof of the car pause for a moment. He turned his body to look at Amanda who entered the scene, and the corners of his mouth under the clown mask curled up.

"Would you like to hear a joke?"

Under the vision blocked by the gas mask, Amanda's blurred vision met the clown mask on Arthur's face, and an uncontrollable impulse to laugh burst out of her heart.

"You can't look at the mask!"

Gritting his teeth desperately to suppress the urge to laugh wildly in his heart, a series of realizations flashed in his mind like lightning, and he hurriedly lowered his head to avoid the clown mask on Arthur's face.

"The clown's wild laughter is transmitted through the mask."

Hearing Amanda's words, Detective Zhou quickly closed his eyes.

Avoiding staring at Arthur's face with the clown mask, Amanda's urge to laugh wildly weakened gradually.

Lowering her vision and only placing it on Arthur's feet on the roof, Amanda continued to speak: "Arthur, what is your purpose for doing all this?"

"The purpose, I'm just bringing laughter to the world, that's all."

"You think, it's laughter, look at the people around you, the look of pain on their faces."

"There's nothing you've done to cause more pain than that."

"Pain, I don't think so, don't you hear, everybody's laughter?"

Hearing Arthur's answer, Amanda frowned tightly under the gas mask.

There is no doubt that Arthur in front of him is no longer a person who can communicate through words alone. After a brief communication with him, Amanda noticed that the other party's emotions were obviously different from ordinary people.

Thinking of this, the muzzle of the gun in Amanda's hand began to move upwards, while the conversation in her mouth continued.

"So, what about your mother, have you ever considered your own sick mother?"

"Mother?"

Hearing the word mother from Amanda's mouth.

Under the clown mask, Arthur's wild laughter appeared confused for the first time.

Aware of this, Amanda stopped moving the palm of the muzzle.
