The Asylum of All Worlds

Chapter 23 The City of Sin
Gotham eight years ago
No one can really describe what kind of city it is.

If the current Gotham is a contradiction between prosperity and decline, then Gotham once was a dying city.It is like an old man suffering from cancer, who was abandoned by God but unwilling to die at the same time, just struggling on the threshold of hell, letting the cancer cells multiply, pervade, and devour each other.

The city's cancer is called sin.

But it’s not just evil, you will never experience it if you haven’t been in Gotham, the despair that permeates the air, the lifelessness, depravity, filth, evil, and corruption that can be seen everywhere on the way to work, here is The epitome of all the disgusting things in the world, they are hard-kneaded together out of place, and brilliantly fascinating.

It is precisely because of this that countless "weirds" have been bred here, and it is difficult to describe them one by one. In short, each of them is like the darkest and cruelest collection created by God, and there is no place to throw them away, so They had to be thrown together in one place.

That junkyard is Gotham—the darkest and most evil place among countless planes. If you roughly divide the world into categories, then it is heaven, hell, the world, and Gotham. All."

The "sin" here cannot be imprisoned, killed, or avoided, because the sin is the city itself and has infected all the people in the city.This even led to the fact that the citizens of Gotham can only live in Gotham. If they take a breath of fresh and sweet air under the sun, they may poison themselves to death.

Of course, if you are a new traveler, then you have to pay attention
1. You must understand that this is a dangerous city, please use your first salary to buy an insurance and a better quality urn.

2. Do not go out at night, especially when the sky is lit with bat lights.

3. If you go out at night, please take the main road and avoid places where the lights cannot reach.

4. Do not go to the following places, chemical plants, mental hospitals, docks at night, banks during the day, and near GCPD.

5. Do not look out of the window when you hear the following sounds: gunshots, hahaha, screams, cats, owls, pigs.

6. Don't trample on the lawn, remember to water your plants.

7. Don't guess riddles casually. If you have to guess, remember to answer correctly.

8. Move out quickly. If you don’t want to move out, then please learn to steal, hurt, betray, kill, etc. as soon as possible, otherwise you will never survive the second rent period.

This is the norm in Gotham City.

But all this changed one day 8 years ago.Because someone died that night
This is normal, people are dying every night in Gotham, if you don’t see any news about last night’s murder or explosion in the next morning’s newspaper, then there is only one possibility, that is, the reporter sent by the newspaper office last night was also killed up.

However, the person who died that night was a bit special. The person who died was a "weird", and it was a woman. Most importantly, that woman's name was - Harley Quinn!

Harley Quinn is a very beautiful girl who likes to wear circus costumes, likes to dye her hair into two distinct colors, likes weird stage outfits and gorgeous double ponytails, likes to kill, fire, explode, Laughing weirdly, smashing people flat with a hammer in her hand. But she is a good girl.

Uh. At least she used to be a good girl. You may not believe it, but Harley Quinn was originally a top student who graduated from a famous university, and she was also a well-known authority on criminal psychology in Gotham City.She was once specially hired by Arkham Asylum as a psychological counselor for the inmates.
But the Arkham Asylum at that time was not the "kindergarten level" place it is now.Let's put it this way, as long as you dare to put the prisoners in any prison district at that time in any place except Gotham City, after that week, that place should basically be included in the government's nuclear explosion list.

And Harley Quinn is indeed worthy of her title of authority on criminal psychology. During her tenure, she dealt with all kinds of weirdos, and she was always successful until one day, she met a patient she had always wanted to study. Suffering - joker.

A joker is a person. In fact, it is not necessarily true, because a person needs at least two kinds of support, the body and the spirit, but the spiritual world of the joker does not seem to belong to the category of human beings, because no one can understand what he wants to do, so it is also No one knew what kind of existence he was. In short, no one in Gotham City wanted to face this guy.Not even the super criminals.

Yes, I know he's just a regular guy who likes to wear heavy makeup, but believe me, even if you surround him with a company of soldiers, you will never have a "I can do this" at this time Bastards" because you're terrified that the next second, the company will be wiped out. You know it's ridiculous, but you're just terrified.

Everyone is afraid of joker, there is no need for any reason, and in order to alleviate his horror taste a little, people even gave him a nickname with a bit of a funny atmosphere - the clown.

But unfortunately, he seems to like this nickname very much, because it fits his image better, so soon, the word "clown" was also tainted with frightening attributes.

As for Harley Quinn, I don't know if all psychiatrists are a little mentally ill. Anyway, she became the first person to have a strong interest in the clown's spiritual world.

In fact, the Gotham government had already banned it at that time. Any attempt to study the clown's mental state and psychological world was illegal. It is best not to even talk to him.But this good girl just thinks that the clown's extremely crazy thinking logic is a treasure of psychology. She wants to understand the clown's mental structure and the secrets hidden in it.

So pretty soon... she felt like she had a crush on the Joker.

Yes, this thing sounds stupid, but it is a fact, and even later Harley Quinn took the risk to help the clown escape from prison.After that, she was arrested and imprisoned, her doctor's license was revoked and she was considered a mentally ill patient, and she soon had another name - Harley Quinn.

For almost all the time after that, there was a charming figure beside the clown. They murdered and set fire together, committing all kinds of crimes. Some people even thought that Harley Quinn was like the clown's girlfriend.

However, the clown's attitude towards this girl is more like a tool that can be used with ease.

Of course, all this is speculation, after all, no one will try to understand the relationship between the pair of lunatics, but one thing can be clearly shown, the clown's feelings for Harley Quinn are somewhat different from those for other people .Because she's the only one who stays with the Joker a lot, but hasn't died yet.

And that night, Harley Quinn died
This is a terrible thing.

What's more frightening is that it wasn't the clown who killed her.
But
Batman!
