Arthur tried to say something, attempting to alleviate his discomfort.
The diary was filled with information, not only recording Arthur's daily life but also including various newspaper clippings; the densely packed handwriting revealed the individual's strong desire to share.
The doctor tried to calm Arthur down with her conversation, but suddenly, a page in the diary caught her attention.
One day, I went to the pharmacy to buy medicine and saw an ambulance parked on the side of the road, with a group of medical staff standing next to a homeless man.
I walked over out of curiosity and heard them say, "What kind of death is this, ending up hanging on the road?"
What? Can you imagine dying on the street like that, with people trampling over you?
Maybe he'd be happier if he died, but I don't want that. I don't want people to step over my body; I want people to see me.
I only hope that my death will be more meaningful than my life.
Imagine your entire life ending on the roadside. I'm curious how old he was when he died, and how long he endured this neglect...
"I only hope that my death will be more meaningful than my life."
The doctor slowly read aloud Arthur's most important hope from the beginning of the day.
Gazing at the negative emotions in the diary, the doctor frowned slightly. But when she turned her gaze to Arthur, he simply smiled, as if to say that he didn't think much of it.
His resentment towards his terrible life has even gradually developed into something...
[A stubborn obsession with 'a grand death!']
"How does it feel to have to come here? Is it helpful to chat with someone?"
"I think I felt better when I was locked up in the hospital."
Arthur looked calmly at the doctor and, in a composed tone, uttered words that demanded serious attention.
[Locked in the hospital for a whole day! Imprisonment? Abuse? Surveillance?]
"Have you ever wondered why you were locked up in the first place?"
Arthur frantically searched for fragments of information in his head, but he could only vaguely recall repeatedly banging his head against the observation room door!
【"Bang! Bang!"】
He shouted again and again until his voice was hoarse, but no one paid him any attention. He didn't even know if anyone was there. In the end, how did he get out...?
But when his thoughts returned to reality, Arthur felt as if he had been dreaming; he couldn't remember anything. Had it really happened?
“Who knows?”
Negativity, decline, Zhou Sen exudes a deathly aura that keeps the living at bay...
Many people experience these symptoms before committing suicide. The doctor stared intently at Arthur, taking notes on his condition.
Arthur wanted to ask the doctor to prescribe even stronger medication, but the doctor, looking at Arthur's medical records, was suddenly shocked!
"Arthur, you're taking seven different medicines right now."
Arthur's eyes were filled with sorrow as he murmured something, as if speaking to the doctor, yet also as if speaking to himself.
"I just never want to feel this bad again."
"Ha~ha~ Seeing Arthur, I feel like he's been submerged by an endless sea, suffocating, unable to find a way out, desperately waiting for death." Xia Ling, from the world of Soul Street.
"Arthur has serious psychological problems, and that doctor is clearly not capable of solving Arthur's condition." —Bai Shu, Genshin Impact.
"If this continues, a mental breakdown could happen in an instant." Genshin Impact, Elhesen.
"Under the rule of angels, I would never allow such a thing to happen." — Angel Yan, Super God Academy World.
"Another person who has lost hope in the world?" - Uchiha Obito, Naruto world.
"Damn, Purehearted Bro is here! But this guy is different from you. It seems like unless he has some kind of extraordinary encounter, he'll hardly have any power to change anything." —Anonymous, from the world of 100,000 Cold Jokes.
"Is this the tragedy of the weak?" In the world of God of Slaughter, Shi Yan stared at the earth dragon in front of him. Wasn't he also a weakling? He had just arrived and had already become someone else's drug slave, without any power to resist. He stared blankly at the scene in the sky.
“Show a cruel smile to those despicable people.”
In the Marvel universe, Tony Stark, somewhat annoyed, opened a bottle of liquor with an astronomical price tag and took a big gulp before throwing the bottle to the ground and shattering it.
"It's really infuriating to watch!" But Tony also knew that with his own abilities, even if he used all of Stark Industries' funds, he couldn't change the whole society.
Under the oppression of capital, ordinary people can only gain the right to survive by begging for a tail.
Arthur got into the car to go home.
As usual, it chose a corner spot by the window, away from the people around it. Being ill, not wanting to be a burden to others was the best choice it could make.
Looking at the crowds flowing through the streets, Arthur's eyes grew increasingly lost.
Just then, Arthur noticed a little boy in the row in front of him staring at him blankly, his face showing curiosity, as if he didn't understand why Arthur wasn't as happy as he was.
Looking at this vibrant little life, Arthur suddenly felt that life wasn't so bad after all.
He can be sorrowful, he can be hurt, he can curse this shitty world as garbage!
But this child is different from him; an innocent face should be adorned with a smile to look its best!
Thinking of this, Arthur's comedic spirit began to stir.
He's a professional clown! Making people laugh and be happy is his job!
Arthur covered his face with his hands, and under the child's curious gaze, suddenly made a funny face.
【"Hehe~ Hehe~"】
[He randomly and spontaneously made all sorts of funny gestures, making the children giggle.]
The joyful laughter flowed into Arthur's heart like a clear spring, sweeping away the accumulated dust and gloom.
"The genuine smiles of children are the true hope!" - Daigo, Ultraman Tiga.
Chapter 102 The Only One Who Can Laugh
"Arthur is so kind. Even though he suffers from illness every day, he is still willing to extend his kindness to strangers." Xia Ling, from the world of Soul Street.
"It's a pity, if only I could diagnose him." (From the Black Jack world, Black Jack)
"Wow! Conan, look! That person who also has a name with 'world' in his name seems to have amazing medical skills. Conan might become a world-class detective like Shinichi's dad in the future!" Ran from the Detective Conan world.
As Ran spoke, she tried to hug Conan. Conan initially tried to struggle, but suddenly, he noticed the sadness in Ran's eyes.
Is it... loneliness? After I disappeared, Ran always seems to be alone... Is she trying to constantly check if I've returned?
Saying such things now is probably to distract the child and try not to let her own sadness affect her.
I'm such a bastard!
"Hehe! Sister Xiaolan, I'm not as amazing as you say~"
Conan chuckled as he spoke, silently apologizing to Ran in his heart, "Ran, I'm sorry..."
Just as Arthur was immersed in the children's joyful laughter, an untimely voice interrupted him.
"Please stop harassing my child, okay?"
The child's mother, sitting beside him, turned to look at Arthur upon hearing his voice. Her eyes were filled with wariness and suspicion as she sharply reprimanded him.
Arthur was about to explain that he meant no harm, but was abruptly interrupted and warned in a harsh tone.
"Shut up!"
[This matter should have ended there, but no one expected that Arthur would suddenly burst into maniacal laughter!]
"Hahahaha!"
The child's mother turned around in disgust and saw Arthur covering his mouth, as if trying to hide the fact that he had just laughed wildly. She immediately frowned and questioned him.
"What are you doing? Do you think this is funny?"
"Hahahaha!"
But faced with the child's mother's questioning, Arthur once again couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Arthur's expression was pained, his eyes pleading, as if begging his body to stop laughing.
He desperately covered his mouth with his hand, but it was all in vain.
Suppressed, painful laughter continued to emanate from Arthur's pocket as he quickly pulled out a card and handed it to the child's mother.
"I'm sorry, I have..."
However, before Arthur could finish speaking, he was once again interrupted by uncontrollable laughter.
The child's mother quickly grabbed the card and scanned its contents; she wanted to see what this person harassing her child was up to!
Forgive me for not being able to stop laughing; I'm sick.
This brain injury or neurological disorder often makes me laugh out loud. I don't mean to offend you, thank you!
Please return this card after reading.
The card was sealed in plastic, crumpled, as if it had been seen by many people.
【"sorry"】
The child's mother looked Arthur up and down, seemingly trying to confirm whether the story was true or false.
However, seeing the other person laughing so wildly, even if it was fake, it still felt like watching a great performance.
After offering a perfunctory apology, the child's mother pulled the child close to her, eliminating any possibility of him continuing to interact with someone like Arthur.
That card was never returned to Arthur...
Arthur desperately covered his mouth with his hand.
Please! Stop! Or even just reduce the noise! I don't want to bother anyone anymore!
All efforts were in vain; his maniacal laughter still echoed throughout the bus.
Everyone on the bus gave him disgusted looks, and Arthur had run out of cards to explain himself.
Sometimes, when his mother was relaxed, the child would secretly turn around and steal a glance at Arthur.
That funny clown uncle, he was clearly making a laughing sound.
But why...are my eyes crying?
The world of One Piece, Wano Country, Ebisu Town.
"Hahaha, look at Arthur, he's just like us!" said resident A.
"Hahaha, he's so pitiful! Hahaha!" said resident B.
"Hahaha, finally someone can understand this feeling! Hahahaha." - Resident C.
"Hahahaha...being bullied...haha, covered in bruises...still laughing! Ahahaha!" said resident Ding.
"Hahaha, stop laughing! Hahahaha, stop laughing! Ahahaha! You bastard!! Ahahaha!" said resident Ding.
Laughter will never cease in Ebisu, just as pain will never disappear from the world.
Due to the failure of the [SMILE] artificial Devil Fruit, the villagers of Ebisu Town can only keep laughing forever!
Even when loved ones pass away, they can only laugh out loud; no matter how heartbroken they are inside, nothing can change that…
However, the more he laughed, the more desolate and sorrowful he felt...
People in other worlds were also speechless at this moment.
Although they didn't know the specifics, they could roughly understand that the other party's situation was not easy by the strange barrage of comments in the sky.
"Throughout the myriad realms... I hope that enough forces of justice can join forces to govern them, so that all worlds can enter into true peace." —Keisha, Super God Academy World
"May the winds cleanse you and take away your pain." - Venti, Genshin Impact.
"Poor Arthur, he bursts into uncontrollable laughter at the slightest external stimulus." Xia Ling, from the world of Soul Street.
"They must be in so much pain... Alas! I only regret that I, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, cannot sweep away the evil spirits in their hearts!" First Sequence World, Chen Wudi.
"The Great Sage Equal to Heaven?" In the world of Journey to the West, the bewildered monkey looked completely confused.
"What's going on? Why is everyone talking about the Monkey King everywhere?" (From the world of A Chinese Odyssey Part Two: Cinderella, Supreme Treasure)
Finally, Arthur arrived at his destination.
The passengers' disgusted stares pierced his heart like sharp knives!
But after being provoked, he laughed even more intensely, and could only silently wipe away his tears and cover his mouth.
