Chương 457: It's Spider-Man's Turn
"Enough, shut up!" Arthur couldn't stand their discussions and shouted angrily, "Delusions are just that segment, understand?! Bruce Wayne, do you think people like me and those thugs outside can't find jobs, worrying about livelihood all day? Those who watch the Murray Show live, even if they're not hired by the TV station, are people with spare money and time. They're not in the same league as me and those thugs!"
Gordon couldn't help but roll his eyes, thinking that this lunatic sometimes had quite rigorous thoughts.
Bruce Wayne skipped this topic and frowned, "So, do you want to turn Gotham into the chaotic scene from the future video?"
"Who knows," Arthur smirked, "I haven't decided yet. Honestly, I'm not interested in changing Gotham or the world. Right now, I just want to have some fun."
"Mr. Arthur!" Peter spoke up, "If you commit crimes like in the future video, I will definitely stop you."
Arthur turned to look at him, and Peter naturally faced him without fear.
In the end, Arthur averted his gaze. At this moment, he hadn't experienced the tragedies of the future. There was still a soft spot in his heart, and even the future fallen Arthur showed a humane side when facing his ex-colleague Gary.
Since Arthur came to the Eternal Space and started participating in the Quiz game, Peter has been taking care of him. Arthur naturally remembered this favor.
He didn't threaten Peter with harsh words but instead looked up at the vast void, "I just want to win this game."
To be honest, at the beginning, Arthur didn't believe in the quiz game. However, when the Quiz game revealed various futures in incredible forms, Arthur changed his mind.
This stage performance spanning multiple universes excited him uncontrollably. He longed for attention and wanted to prove himself by winning the game. Of course, if he could get a mysterious reward and change the tragic future, that would be even better.
After the Quiz game exposed Arthur's future video, he was naturally stimulated, but at this point, Arthur was not yet the Joker; he wasn't insane enough.
Peter and the others understood this. After learning that Arthur was the Joker, the safest approach would be to control him, and lock him in a mental hospital. But if they could prevent Arthur from becoming the Joker, that would be even better, eliminating the threat from the root.
In any case, after the exposure of Arthur's future video, the atmosphere among the four players was no longer as peaceful and friendly as before.
The Quiz game, however, didn't care about this. As usual, the screen quickly presented a new question:[ Question: Among the following options, who is the first archenemy Boss that Spider-Man faces?]
[A: Doctor Octopus
B: Sandman
C: Green Goblin
D: Venom]
Seeing this question, Peter raised an eyebrow, "Finally, it's my turn. The first archenemy Boss? Well, I'm quite interested. At least, I haven't encountered any troublesome villains in New York yet."
The four players selected by the Quiz game, Bruce Wayne, Commissioner Gordon, and Arthur Fleck, had already had their related questions. Peter, as an old player, was well aware of the Quiz game's process. Therefore, facing a new question related to him, he wasn't surprised.
Commissioner Gordon looked at Peter, "Obviously, the boss mentioned here is not some small fry but criminals on the level of Ra's Al Ghul and Joker."
"I know..." Peter shrugged, "I was exposed by the Quiz game a long time ago. Maybe because of this, most of the time, the criminals I encounter are just robbers or ordinary gangsters."
The impact of the Quiz game was significant. The world where Peter Parker was located seemed quite peaceful during this time. Peter patrolled New York every day, and he hadn't encountered any major troubles.
Bruce Wayne pondered, "All four options are code names. It seems we can only rely on pure guesses."
Peter scratched his head, "Yeah, I don't know any of these four options. I've never even heard of them..."
Arthur spoke up, "Instinct, you can try relying on your instincts."
Peter Parker muttered, "Instincts, my Spider-sense? but It's not very useful when answering questions. Let me think... Well, I think it should be A or C?"
Commissioner Gordon glanced at him and joked, "Is it because their code names are longer?"
"Hehe... When I take exams and encounter some questions I don't know, I choose the option that looks like it has the most words." Peter Parker didn't deny it. In such a situation, he was just making a random guess. He had no clue about this question.
Even if he was smart, facing a question without any clues or intelligence information. He could only rely on luck.
In the end, the countdown to answer started. Peter Parker, Commissioner Gordon, and Bruce Wayne hesitated a bit and didn't press the answer button immediately.
But Arthur was decisive. He successfully pressed the button first, looked around, and said with a surprised expression, "Are you all afraid? Haha, I know, you guys are afraid of losing, right? But I don't care; I want to win, but I can also accept losing!"
Then, he grinned at Peter, "Peter, I trust your instincts. For this question, I choose C!"
Peter was a bit stunned, shook his head, and said, "I'm not sure myself... Well, I'll also choose C."
In fact, he wanted to choose A, but since Arthur had already chosen C in advance and said he believed in himself, if he chose another option, it might seem like intentionally misleading. Peter felt embarrassed. If it were Bruce or Commissioner Gordon, they would definitely not choose like this.
Bruce Wayne ultimately chose A, Commissioner Gordon made the same choice, and he said, "I believe in you."
Bruce Wayne sighed, "I just randomly chose one; don't blame me if it's wrong."
No matter how smart he was, facing a question with no clues and no information, it was all down to luck.
Finally, the answer was revealed. Batman's luck wasn't great this time.
[Congratulations to player Arthur Fleck for answering correctly and gaining 4 points. Player Peter Parker answered correctly and gained 1 point.]
[Player Bruce Wayne, and player Jim Gordon both answered incorrectly, deducting 1 point each]
