"It was Jerome who made me have a miserable life. It was he who caused me to be like this. Without him, my life would definitely be better."
"So you hate being a clown?" Zhou Ran raised his eyebrows and teased with a smile.
"NO!" Jerome shook his head and smiled: "Without Jerome, I would have become a clown. This is a fate, an unchangeable fate."
"Sir, do you know? I was born to be a clown... If I hadn't been chosen by the God of Destiny to become a clown, I might just be a wisp of dust in this world."
"Maybe one day I will starve to death on a park bench, or die in a sudden war."
Jerome sighed softly and said with emotion.
After hearing this, Zhou Ran nodded and said, "That's true, but that's not what I want to hear. Tell me about your origins..."
"Don't deceive me with those lies. For example, Jerome is a born bad person and you killed your mother with your own hands..."
"A lie? That's not a lie. It's just a means, a means of exploring the origin of human nature. In fact, I can't tell whether it is true or false..." Jerome whispered.
"I don't believe that all your memories are chaotic. There will always be truths that keep repeating. Tell me about your transformation, from an ordinary person to a clown." Zhou Ran said calmly. This was what he was curious about. I want to find the rules for choosing agents for clown personalities.
Jerome rubbed his head and sighed: "Actually, it's not that complicated. I just made a deal with the clown and sold my soul and body."
"There have always been legends about the clown in Hell's Kitchen. People say he is a demon. He likes to cause chaos and kill. Every time he appears, he brings blood."
"One night, I met the clown. He said politely, I want to do an experiment, but the success of the experiment cannot be guaranteed. If you are lucky enough, you will gain a new life."
"Obviously, I was lucky. The experiment was successful and I became the new clown."
After Jerome finished describing his origins in a casual way, his expression suddenly changed.
His eyes widened, he scratched his hair fiercely, and murmured in a low voice: "Damn it! Why did I suddenly say these things? Could it be..."
Jerome seemed to understand something. He glanced at Zhou Ran thoughtfully and smiled: "Interesting, really interesting. I didn't expect there to be such interesting things in the world..."
"The light of New York and the darkness of New York are actually the same person... No wonder Arthur, who has become a clown and has mastered part of the Dionysian factor, will die. He has blasphemed you and the real "god" of chaos! "

When the clown first appeared, it had been changed. Anyone who wanted to be a clown would become a clown. He was not stingy at all, and was even extraordinarily generous. He was like a god living in the sky, full of Looking down at his followers with a smile on his face..."
"Really? This is the biggest gain of this trip. According to you, the clown will always be there. Even if you are killed, the next clown will still be born." Zhou Ran asked.
Jerome snapped his fingers and said: "That's right, that's it. It's like those hydras in the lake, cutting off one head and growing two more heads to replace it."
"Similarly, if you kill a clown, a new clown will appear to take its place."
Zhou Ran blinked and said in a deep voice: "So, this city will always be in chaos and will never be able to achieve true peace?"
"ha?"
After hearing this, Jerome couldn't help but laugh. He looked at Zhou Ran with a pair of mocking eyes and said teasingly: "Oh, sir, I heard you right! How can a person like you care about a small building?" New York?"
"Besides, you are not purely righteous and kind, so why would you want to save the world?"
"This chaos will never hurt you, and will even circle around you like a lap dog, just looking for your meager praise."
Zhou Ran fell into silence after hearing this.
"Snapped!"
Jerome clapped, with a crazy smile on his face, and he increased his rhetoric: "Oh, sir, you don't really want to be a superhero, do you?"
"Is this really valuable to you? Even if a good person does countless good things, people will think he deserves it, but as long as he does one bad thing, he will receive countless vicious abuses !」
"The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility... You wouldn't believe this kind of chicken soup that deceives children, right? Or maybe after you have been cheating for a long time, you really think you are the good person in the public's mouth!"
"Oh, sir, wake up! Those are just your disguise! You have never been that kind of person. If you are a perfect person, how could Joker be born in your heart?"
"Sir, you are the Joker, you are the emperor of the underground world, you are the evil god of chaos, you are the Joker who plays tricks on all living beings with applause!"
"You are free. You are not born to be bound by the rules of the world! Morality is like a chain, tied to someone's head, commanding a person what to do?"
"Yes, this chain can bind people, but it can never bind God. You can decide what is good or what is evil!"
Zhou Ran sighed lightly and said, "Jerome, your words moved me a little bit, but it's a pity that I wasn't completely moved."
