Screenwriter Mystery

The pervasive coverage of modern media.

The "Clown Shooting" incident became front-page coverage of major news media in almost half an hour.

"Arthur Fleck."

In the driver's seat, the detective drove to the neighborhood of the shooting scene on Zhou Zhou, and told Amanda in the passenger seat of the information 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 serious history of mental illness and has been taking various drugs for a long time. In terms of financial reports, he has not updated the financial report for a long time, from the most recent credit card records. Look, he's already in debt..."

"A poor and marginal person from the bottom of society."

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

"However, that's not enough to explain what he did in the bar."

Poor guys like Arthur are everywhere in America.

But no one is as 'dangerous' as him.

"More than 100 people have fallen into a state of 'laughing' because of the clown's relationship. We must do something to stop this situation from worsening."

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

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

On the contrary, this happiness is enough to kill the person involved.

Once the man who laughs died, it was definitely the worst death in America since 9/11.

……

"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 his mouth raised under the clown mask uncontrollably, and his heart was full of joy.

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

The laughter in his mouth became hoarse and sharp, but Arthur seemed to be completely unaware that he continued his happy dance steps. He waved his hands and directed everyone around him to laugh wildly.

He looked up, looked at the camera on the helicopter, and bent slightly to make a funny tribute.

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, and the corners of the cameraman's face bent upward uncontrollably, and a burst of uncontrollable laughter came from him. His mouth sounded, and along with violent laughter, the camera lens in the cameraman's hand began to shake.

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

"Quick, cut off the signal!"

Sensing 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, Doctor, how laughing gas affects the cameraman 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 drifted along the air to the helicopter, and the cameraman who filmed 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 television media.

The pervasive coverage of the news media is not only on events, but also on peers.

……

"Gas mask."

Drive a car to the scene of a shooting in downtown New York.

Detective Zhou looked at Amanda who got out of the car, and immediately gave a reminder.

"You don't really think that what makes people laugh crazy is the laughing gas that the media claims?"

Hearing Detective Zhou's reminder, Amanda raised her eyebrows.

"I do not think so."

In the face of Amanda's words, the detective put on the gas mask in his hand silently on Monday, and replied in a muffled voice, "However, the federal government needs everyone to think so."

He subconsciously raised his hand to take the gas mask thrown by Detective Zhou. The expression on Amanda's face hesitated for a while, but she put the gas mask on her face.

Enter the siege center through the NYC police alert.

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

"Arthur, we need to talk."

Subconsciously clenching the handle of the gun in her hand, Amanda looked at the people around her who were laughing wildly. She saw that many of them had expressions of pain on 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 figure on the roof with laughter and joy pause for a while. He turned his body to look at Amanda who entered the scene, and the corners of his mouth twitched under the clown mask.

"Do you want to hear a joke?"

Under the field of vision blocked by the gas mask, Amanda's blurred vision and the clown mask on Arthur's face looked at each other, and an uncontrollable urge to laugh immediately emerged from her heart~www.novelmt.com~Can't and Masks look at each other! "

Gritting his teeth desperately, he suppressed the urge to laugh wildly in his heart. A series of enlightenment flashed through 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 contagious through the mask."

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

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

Lowering her vision and placing it only on Arthur's feet on the roof of the car, Amanda continued, "Arthur, what is the purpose of 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 pained expressions on their faces."

"Everything you've done has nothing but more pain."

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

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

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

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

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

"mother?"

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.

Aware of this, Amanda's hand that moved the muzzle also stopped.
