Hearing Xiao Zizi's agreement, Hannibal was immediately very happy, with a big smile on his face.
He reached out and patted Xiao Zizai's shoulder and said, "Xiao, I wish our cooperation goes smoothly. I will definitely keep you in a happy mood this time!"
After hearing this, Xiao Zizai clasped his hands together, recited the Buddha's name, and said with a smile: "Namo Amitabha, poor monk, thank you donor!"
Hannibal smiled, twisted his neck, pointed at the cross behind him that had been wrapped in black light, and asked Xiao Zizai: "Xiao, when do you think our brother will be born?"
"He was born on the day the clown played "White Doves from Hell". Do you think there was anything different about that day?"
Xiao Zizai's eyes flashed, he pushed up his glasses, and said in a low voice: "Is there anything different that day? Hannibal, you know, Zhou Ran was sleeping that night, and no one went out to take action. What really happened that day in New York? We have no way of knowing!”
"But I have a hunch that soon, soon, this brother will be born soon. He just needs a little stimulation, for example, something like that night will happen again!"
"This brother, he only has one opportunity left now."
Hannibal frowned, nodded thoughtfully, and smiled: "I wonder what kind of existence this brother is? Judging from the cross, he should be a believer in God and Christ Jesus."
"Xiao, what kind of sparks will arise when Buddhists and Christians collide? Tsk, tsk, tsk, this is really a fun thing."
…
Zhou Ran was in tremendous pain, his eyes were scarlet red, and his tears were like broken beads, and they kept crackling.
The whole person looked very cowardly, not at all as deep and calm as before.
He looked extremely miserable.
At this moment, Zhou Ran didn't know how to face himself, he didn't know how to face the strange self in his memory.
It can be said that he did this, or it can be said that it was not done by him, but the clown did it.
But no matter what, it can't be separated from him.
The clown lives in his body, the clown is his personality, and the clown has the same face as him.
So, the Joker is part of him, an integral part.
Facing this dark part, Zhou Ran felt mixed feelings in his heart.
Self-blame, sadness, anger, despair...these emotions were mixed together, making him very confused at the moment.
This is a question that tests human nature very much.
Zhou Ran frowned and tried hard to find a way.
Do we really want to kill the Joker? But even if you kill the Joker, you can't clean up what the Joker did with his body.
Should we just let the clown go? Letting the clown go means forgiving yourself for the things you have done.
Kill yourself? Just kidding, this is simply impossible!
Even when he saw the clown killing people and doing all kinds of bad things at will, Zhou Ran never had the thought of suicide or self-destruction.
He is not a purely righteous person, a purely kind person.
Of course, he is not a person of pure darkness or pure evil.
In other words, as a time traveler, Zhou Ran’s thinking is higher than this world.
In particular, Zhou Ran has a high sense of crisis and feels like a victim of paranoia.
He has never had a deep bond with people in this world, and he only developed some feelings with Tony Stark.
Of course, Zhou Ran worked hard to cultivate these feelings for his own safety. His feelings for Tony Stark are definitely not as deep as Tony Stark's feelings for him.
His feelings for Tony Stark were gained through hard work, just like chasing a girl and playing with the girl's cat who only had a small mood every day.
After ten years of playing like this, feelings developed naturally.
This is also an unavoidable choice. If Zhou Ran had not chosen Tony Stark, would he have any better choice?
Going to Karma Taj?
Even if we know that Kama Taj is in the Himalayas, does anyone know where exactly Kama Taj is in the Himalayas?
It is still unknown whether he has mage talent or not.
Even if he really gets to Karma Taj, he has the talent of a mage and becomes a mage. Then he needs to protect the invasion from the mysterious side. The dimensional demons are not so easy to deal with, and they are very likely to be sacrificed.
Will the Ancient One protect all mages?
No one can be sure, the only thing that is certain is that Ancient One will protect the future Supreme Mage!
Can Zhou Ran become the next Supreme Mage? Obviously it is unlikely, this probability is infinitely close to 0.
Therefore, if he wanted to gain a foothold in Kama Taj, he still needed to manage his relationship with Ancient One.
In comparison, which one is easier, the relationship between Operations and Ancient One or the relationship between Operations and Tony Stark?
Without a doubt, Tony Stark of course!
This is Zhou Ran's best choice.
In addition to having feelings for Tony Stark, Zhou Ran also developed some feelings for Tony Stark's friends, such as Pepper Potts, bodyguard Happy, and future war machine Lieutenant Colonel Rhodes...
The only people who can be considered as his friends are Dr. Cornell, Lao Mo, Xiao Lu, and Lao Rick.
Now, add a family of Peter Parker and his future girlfriend Gwen Stacy to the mix.
Zhou Ran's circle has always been so small, and the rest of the people are emotionless to him.
The rest of the people are just like passersby, NPCs like villagers in the game.
If you have feelings for these ordinary NPCs, do these ordinary NPCs have any use?
Zhou Ran was indeed saddened by the emotionless NPCs killed by the Joker.
But his sadness was not because these poor NPCs were killed by clowns. What he was sad about was that his hands were stained with the blood of innocent people.
This was something he couldn't accept, something that seriously impacted his worldview.
Although he is not full of bright goodness, he definitely does not want to become a pure evil.
Zhou Ran stretched out his hands, rubbed his temples, sighed, threw away the gun in his hand, smiled bitterly, and said: "Clown, I won't kill you, because killing you is meaningless. Those people are already dead. No, even if I kill you, they won’t be able to survive.”
"I am the owner of this body. Everything you do has this body involved, so this is equivalent to killing us together. Even if I kill you, I can't wash away the sins on my body, nor can I wash them away. The blood of innocents on my hands.”
Zhou Ran reached out and pushed up his glasses, his eyes were indifferent, and his tone was very cold: "Besides, I have no feelings for those people. They are like weeds in my eyes."
"I will sympathize with what they are going through, and I will feel a little guilty, but it will never be because they choose to self-destruct."
"Nothing in this world is more important than my own life!"
"No need to talk? You really don't kill me! You will really regret not killing me!" The clown shrugged, smiled bitterly, and curled his lips helplessly.
Zhou Ran frowned, stared into the clown's eyes, and said: "Clown, I can feel your loyalty to me, and I can feel your desire to die. Although your behavior is very dark, you are very important to me." He is a harmless personality.”
"But I also want to confirm a question, a very important question, and I hope you can answer it!"
"Oh? What's the problem?" The clown blinked and asked in confusion.
Zhou Ran took a deep breath and said, "Will you take my body? Will you make me lose my consciousness?"
After hearing this, the clown laughed loudly and said: "Jake, of course not. You are my great god. How could I take your body? This matter will not be established at all. The owner of this body is only You alone will eventually become the greatest one in the world!"
Zhou Ran nodded and said with a smile: "Yes! A personality who has always been loyal to me, a personality who is willing to give his life to me, a harmless personality."
"Joker, although you used my body to do many bad things and stained me with the blood of innocent people, but other than that, what reason do I have to abandon you?"
"Joker, compared to those ordinary NPCs, you are more important to me! After all, you are a part of me, and they are nothing!"
After listening to Zhou Ran's words.
The clown sighed, with a crazy laughing expression on his face, and said: "Hahaha, Jake, I'm so happy to hear you say that!"
"These are your innermost thoughts. Since you did not choose to kill me, you must prepare for the next road. From now on, your future will be an extremely chaotic and difficult road."
"In that future that I can only feel, you will have huge regrets and regrets in your heart. I can clearly feel that this regret stems from your choices today!"
"Let me survive, which is the beginning of evolving into that future!"
Zhou Ran frowned when he heard this and asked, "Clown, what kind of future is that?"
The clown shook his head and said: "I don't know, how can we know what the specific future will look like now?"
"However, I can vaguely feel that it is not a good future. Maybe this is a signal sent to me by the future me. Although I am a lunatic who is not very popular, my guesses about the future are never wrong. !”
"In Gotham, I told that bat that his methods could not save it. Gotham is Gotham, and that is the law by which Gotham operates. In Gotham, you must abide by Gotham's law."
"What Bat does has no impact on Gotham. He doesn't understand Gotham at all!"
"Well, actually, it's not that the bat doesn't understand Gotham, it's just that he's too naive. He hopes to plant a flower of good in a place full of evil. But it's impossible for a flower of good to grow in the soil of evil. , The soil of evil can only breed the flowers of evil!"
Zhou Ran nodded and said: "That may be the case, but it is undeniable that Gotham has become a little different because of the existence of bats, and there is one more choice in the future, isn't it?"
"At least Gotham has one more chance to change because of bats. Although this chance is slim, it is undeniable that there is still a slight probability."
"So, clown, our future may not be what you think it is? There are too many uncertain factors in the future. No one can guarantee that the future will be that future, no one can!"
After listening to Zhou Ran's words.
"Hohoho!" The clown grinned strangely, stared into Zhou Ran's eyes, and asked: "Jake, you are right, our future is hard to say, there are countless possibilities!"
"Jake, what do you think of this world? Do you like it here?"
Zhou Ran frowned, nodded and shook his head, saying: "I don't know. Sometimes I like it but sometimes I hate it. I can clearly feel that my sense of belonging to this world is not strong."
"I haven't integrated into this world yet. This world is too cruel to ordinary people. All kinds of enemies and crises emerge in endlessly."
"Even though I know most of the future development trajectory of this world and some major events in the future, he still makes me feel a little scared. Now this fear is even deeper because two people who should not exist have appeared here!"
"This means that I have lost my future direction. There is no basis for anything. I have not yet participated in those major events. The world has changed. I don't know why."
"Butterfly effect? It's really getting harder and harder for me to understand now."
Little Scandal said, smiled, and said: "Two people who shouldn't exist? Are you talking about Kratos and Kesha?"
Zhou Ran nodded, smiled bitterly, and said: "Yes, it's the two of them. Kratos doesn't belong here, and Kesha doesn't belong here either. If there is a reasonable explanation for their existence, it is because I am here Here we are!”
"I have brought changes here, different changes, some unpredictable changes. These non-existent people who suddenly appear may be the place we regret in the future!"
"And, clown, I don't know why I fell in love with Kesha? It's still a very passionate love, that kind of real love. It seems that I have known her a long time ago. This is really strange!"
After listening to Zhou Ran's words.
The clown smiled and said: "It's not just the two of them who don't belong here, there are also me, Clark, and... forget it, those few will naturally meet you when they want to see you."
"Jake, I want to know, are you most worried about your own safety? Is it your life?"
Zhou Ran nodded and said: "That's right, as long as I can protect my life, I don't think those things are important!"
The clown smiled and said: "Then you can protect yourself now, you can use my power and Clark's power now!"
"When you wake up tomorrow, you will have the Dionysian factor, and nothing can hurt you from now on!"
…
The end of past time and the beginning of future time.
The final place where the devil destroys everything.
This place is called Colorless Sky, and it is also where the Space-Time Management Bureau is stationed, and it is also the headquarters of the Demon King's Council.
