#37Chapter Thirty-Three: The Joker and the Joker Unite
Tick-tock!
The sewers were dark and damp, with water dripping from the pipes. The clown, carrying a semi-automatic rifle, headed in the direction he sensed.
Whoosh!
A stream of water rushed through the ditch, as if an invisible pair of eyes were watching the clown.
This made the clown even more excited, this captivating and intoxicating feeling.
"Ha ha ha ha..."
Peng!
Another red balloon was popped, revealing a strange eye on it, and the clown mercilessly shot it out.
A painful scream came from deep within the sewers; it was a sharp voice, even somewhat similar to that of a clown.
"Hahaha... My kindred spirit, I've come to find you!"
The clown laughed even harder upon hearing the voice, his mouth practically splitting open.
He came to an open area in the sewers. It was empty, seemingly devoid of anything, yet he knew his kind were all here, for example…
Bang!
A bullet was fired in one direction, where a huge black shadow flashed by, seemingly some kind of ferocious monster with six long, phantom-like limbs, but it only flashed by in an instant.
It missed; the bullet struck the wall.
It disappeared again, but the clown didn't panic at all. Instead, he straightened his tie, as if to show his elegance.
"Oh... my friend, are you going to keep hiding? Or should we have a heart-to-heart talk face to face?"
The clown's smile was incredibly cruel as he suddenly fired his gun at the monster that was lunging at him from behind.
The bullet hit, but only struck the monster's shoulder. Pale yellow liquid sprayed out, and six sharp, blade-like feet pierced the clown's abdomen, lifting him up and sending him flying against the wall.
"Oh... damn it... my friend, you really went too far... hahaha!"
Even though the clown had suffered a severe abdominal injury and was bleeding profusely, he still had a smile on his lips.
He looked at his own kind, the being that had always given him a sense of connection, which turned out to be a giant grasshopper monster, and the grasshopper's upper body was actually a humanoid object.
"...This is indeed very interesting...So why aren't you afraid..."
The monster spoke in human language, and its body began to change, slowly shrinking until it transformed into a completely different form.
A hideous face, with yellow pupils and thick paint that sent chills down your spine, took a balloon out of its pocket and blew it up. Soon a red balloon appeared in its hand, and the whole thing transformed into the image of a comical clown in a costume holding a balloon.
"Who are you!!"
Its shrill voice asked the clown!
This question made the Joker burst out laughing: "Oh... my friend, I am the Joker, and you..."
"And I am the Joker!!"
It answered the clown's unfinished question!
It's a clown, yes, the dancing clown, Pennywise, a source of fear for children, and it's incredibly powerful when there's fear in it.
It originally lived a good life in Derry Town, making the children of Derry Town live in fear. They would eat one or two when they were hungry and lived a very carefree life. But for some unknown reason, it came to this strange world.
This is completely different from the previous town of Derry; the city above the sewers belongs to another place.
Peneve was very agitated, and in addition to this agitation, it felt its power constantly draining away, and it was genuinely weak. It wanted to replenish its power as soon as possible before considering anything else.
However, this requires fear, and there are no terrifying legends about it in the city above, so there is no source of fear power, and it cannot replenish what is inside.
"So... Joker... You're the Joker... and I'm the Joker too... what brings you here to me...?"
Pennywise's yellow pupils gleamed with an intrigued look, as if he had seen through the Joker's true nature—a monster just like him, one of his own kind!
The term "same kind" is indeed true; they are all the same kind of beings!
The clown struggled to his feet, laughing maniacally, and said, "You must be very weak, another clown. I sense your weakness. You need a source of power, a replenishment of power, you need fear..."
"I felt all of that, and Gotham City doesn't have the fear you need, because their fear is all with me… Hahahaha!"
The clown could no longer contain his laughter and burst into wild hysteria, even putting his hands into his mouth to stretch it even wider.
Pennywise's face, covered in white paint, showed no expression, but he was clearly very unhappy.
No one has ever been able to get hold of the Dancing Clown; he is Pennywise, a child's nightmare, a child's nemesis.
But facing this fellow human, it must be said that he was right; the city above had no fear of it at all, which was a very troublesome thing.
"So, my kind... what are you trying to say... what do you want..."
A strange look flashed in Pennywise's yellow eyes as he spoke in a low voice.
The Joker laughed and said, "I want to cooperate... a Joker-Joker partnership... to plunge Gotham City into even greater darkness, the darkness we desire... and I don't need fear, that part of fear is yours to obtain!"
Pennywise smiled; it had to be said that it was already tempted. The source of its fear was already there, and all it took was cooperating with the Joker.
It seems there's no reason for it to refuse!
"Then I… Pennywise, the Dancing Clown, can work with you… I want the fear of Gotham City you speak of…"
"But I don't want your offerings… True fear must come from within… and the fear-dancing clown is what I want…"
Pennywise's yellow eyes gleamed eerily as he said, "And I need a way, a way to proclaim the Dancing Joker's fear to Gotham City..."
"I think my collaborator, the Laughing Clown, will help me, right..."
"That's natural... hahahaha..."
The Joker spread his arms wide, his smile growing increasingly manic: "One Joker has already driven Gotham City mad, so what about two Jokers in Gotham City... wouldn't they descend into an even higher level of madness!"
The Joker can no longer imagine that scene, but anyway...
Gotham City, welcome the Joker!
This time, it's different; it's a collaboration between two Jokers!
...
[One harvests children's fear, eats children! Another harvests adults' fear, plunging the adult world into madness as a way to fight against the world's darkness... The clown is righteous, love can redeem him... Hahaha!]
