Topped with the pervasive coverage of modern media.The 'clown shooting' incident made the front page of the major news media almost half an hour."
Arthur Fleck."
In the driver's seat, Agent Zhou drove to the block where the shooting was located, and at the same time told Amanda in the passenger seat what he had obtained through the FBI intelligence system."
According to the description of the bar owner, I investigated his medical records and found that he himself has a history of severe mental illness, 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, and judging by his most recent credit card records, he has been in debt......"
"A poor and marginal person at the bottom of society."
Listening to Agent Zhou's description, Amanda easily sketched a poor figure in her mind."
However, that doesn't explain what he's doing in the bar."
Poor guys like Arthur are everywhere in the United States.But no one is as 'dangerous' as he is."
More than 100 people have fallen into a state of 'laughter' because of the clown, and we have to do something to stop this situation from getting worse."
Thinking of the deaths of Harvey Cruise and the white stand-up comedian in the bar, Amanda couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency.The two know very well that this kind of wild laughter is not as 'happy' as it seems on the surface.On the contrary, this happiness is enough to kill the person concerned.Eventually, the Laugher died, it was definitely the worst death in the United States since 911.......
"Mom, I did it......" streets in downtown New York, Arthur stood on the roof of his car, watching everything around him.The corners of the clown's mouth under the clown mask were uncontrollably raised, and his heart was full of joy."
I'm finally bringing happiness to everyone, as you said!"
The laughter in his mouth became hoarse and high-pitched, but Arthur continued his joyful dance as if he were completely unaware, waving his hands and directing the crowd around him to burst into laughter.Looking up, looking at the camera in the helicopter, bending slightly to make a funny salute.The next moment, he raised his head, and the red clown mask clearly landed on the camera's frame."
Ha, haha, hahahaha......"
On the helicopter, through the camera frame and the red clown mask on Arthur's face, the corners of the mouth on the cameraman's face curled up uncontrollably, and an irrepressible wild laugh sounded from his mouth, accompanied by violent wild laughter, the camera in the cameraman's hand began to shake.And all of this was clearly transmitted to the audience in front of the TV in the live news."
Quick, cut off the signal!"
Sensing the anomaly of the live broadcast, the TV station reacted quickly.They cut off the live signal from the helicopter to prevent the situation from spreading further."
How do you explain, doctor, how laughing gas affects the videographer on the helicopter?""
As the name suggests, laughing gas is an extremely dangerous gas, and it is obvious that there is a high concentration of laughing gas at the scene of the accident, which drifted into the helicopter along the air, and the cameraman who took the film inadvertently inhaled the gas, so this situation will occur, which further illustrates the ......danger of laughing gas" At the same time, news about the cameraman also appeared on the television media.The pervasive coverage of the news media is not only about events, but also about the industry.......
"gas mask." ”Drive a car to the scene of a shooting in the heart of New York.Detective Zhou looked at Amanda who got off the car, and immediately opened his mouth to make a reminder."
You don't really think that what makes people laugh like crazy is what the media claims to be laughing gas, do you?"
Hearing Agent Zhou's reminder, Amanda raised her eyebrows."
I don't think so."
In the face of Amanda's words, the detective put on the gas mask in his hand with a silent face, and replied in a muffled voice: "However, the federal government needs everyone to think so." ”Subconsciously raised his hand to take the gas mask thrown by Agent Zhou, the expression on Amanda's face hesitated, but he still put the gas mask on his face.Enter the center of the siege through the alert of the New York City police.Amanda sees the source of everything that triggers everything, Joker, or Arthur."
Arthur, we need to talk."
Subconsciously clenching the handle of the gun in her hand, Amanda looked at the crowd around her who were constantly laughing, she saw that many of them had painful expressions on their faces, tears mixed with saliva flowing down their faces, but the wild laughter in her mouth still showed no signs of stopping, knowing that there was 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 shouted.Amanda's name paused the happy figure on the roof of the car with a wild smile, and he turned his body to look at Amanda who entered the scene, the corners of his mouth curled under the clown mask."
Do you want to hear a joke?"
Amanda's blurred vision met the clown mask on Arthur's face, and an irrepressible urge of laughter surged from her heart."
You can't make eye contact with the mask!"
Desperately gritting his teeth to suppress the urge to laugh in his heart, a series of realizations flashed through his mind, and he hurriedly lowered his head to avoid the clown mask on Arthur's face."
The clown's wild laughter is contagious through the mask."
Hearing Amanda's words, Detective Zhou also hurriedly suppressed his eyes.Dodging the look at the clown mask on Arthur's face, Amanda's inner urge to laugh gradually waned.Lowering her vision and keeping it only on Arthur's feet on the roof of the car, Amanda continued to speak: "Arthur, what exactly are you doing all this for?"
”"Purpose, I'm just bringing laughter to the world, that's all.""
You think, it's laughter, look at the people around you, the pained expressions on their faces.""
Everything you do, nothing else but brings more pain.""
Pain, I don't think, don't you hear everyone's laughter?"
Hearing Arthur's answer, Amanda's brow furrowed tightly under the gas mask.There is no doubt that Arthur in front of him is no longer able to communicate through words alone, and through a brief exchange with him, Amanda noticed that the other party's emotions are 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 sick mother?""
Mom?"
Hear the word mother coming out of Amanda's mouth.Under the clown mask, the wild laughter in Arthur's mouth appeared confused for the first time.Sensing this, Amanda's palm moving the muzzle of the gun also stopped.
