Chapter 1155 Professor (XVIII)

Bruce came and went in a hurry.

It turned out that even if Batman wanted to be less serious, all kinds of trivial things would keep him busy.

Now, he had to go home and look for traces of these natural perverts in various psychology books.

Ignoring Schiller's confused expression when he left, Bruce rushed back to Wayne Manor without stopping, and came to the library to start looking for books that might have clues.

Bruce, who was determined to achieve a certain goal, had a strong ability to act. His figure shuttled back and forth between the bookshelves, sometimes stroking the books with his hands and checking the names of the books, sometimes moving a ladder to take down the books on the top shelf, and occasionally half-kneeling on the ground to sort out the books he had selected from the bookshelf.

Between the two rows of tall bookshelves, a pile of books that were almost stacked to the ceiling floated over shakily. If it weren't for the two hands under the pile of books, I would have thought the library was haunted.

Bruce took too many books at once, so he had to sway his body left and right to keep his balance. Just as he slid to the left and stabilized the book tower that was about to collapse, Bruce stood there and sighed, and instinctively shouted loudly: "Dick!"

After blurting out this name, Bruce's expression stiffened for a moment, he pursed his lips into a straight line, and no longer cared about the collapsed book tower. Looking at the books scattered on the ground, Bruce sighed softly.

Just as Bruce squatted on the ground and picked up the books, a series of footsteps came from the stairwell. Jason, who was holding Aisha, ran up "thump thump thump". Seeing the messy books on the ground, he screamed, quickly put Aisha down, and ran over to help Bruce clean up.

"Mr. Wayne, what happened? Did the bookshelf collapse? Did it hit you? Are you okay?" Jason asked quickly.

Bruce paused for a moment after picking up a book. He tilted his head to look at Jason, who must have run all the way here again. His cheeks were red and his hair was still steaming.

Jason Todd was always so active and fast, full of energy, as if he would never get tired. He was simply a collection of all the children in Gotham, as fast as a rabbit, smart and sharp, and with a unique wildness.

Thinking of this, Bruce thought of Dick again. Dick was not from Gotham. He came from Blüdhaven and was more like a small town youth on a farm. Compared with Jason, Dick's personality was quieter and even a little melancholy.

But Bruce also knew why this was the case. A shadow always hung over the Grayson family. The death of Dick's grandfather caused the Grayson family circus to fall from the top position in the world. Dick had always wanted to find out the injustice of his grandfather and let the Grayson family regain its glory.

Of course, Bruce had thought about using the power of the Wayne Group to help him investigate, but Dick showed unparalleled stubbornness in this regard. He was determined not to ask Bruce for help, and even disliked anyone intervening in the matter. Now, it has developed to the point where it cannot be mentioned or asked.

Just two days ago, Jason and Dick had a quarrel. When Jason heard that Dick's family had such an unjust case, he immediately wanted to help him investigate, but Dick was very angry after discovering his actions, saying that Jason was nosy and did not believe in his ability.

However, Jason was born as the king of Gotham street kids. The most important thing for the kids is loyalty. If you have helped me, the next time you encounter any difficulties, I must do my best to help you, otherwise, I am an ungrateful ungrateful person.

Jason felt that Dick's reaction was that he looked down on him. The two had a big quarrel, and their faces were red and their necks were thick. If Elsa had not started crying in the end and alarmed Alfred, the two might have directly started fighting.

Recalling this, Bruce did not continue to collect the books on the ground, but sat cross-legged on the ground, picked up a book and started reading, then asked Jason casually: "Are you still angry with Dick?"

Jason sneered, waved his hand and said: "I don't bother to argue with him, he is not a native of Gotham, outsiders are like this."

Bruce looked at Jason's every move and felt a little strange. In fact, Jason was the best student among all the children Bruce knew, or the best student of liberal arts.

No matter how difficult and obscure the text is, he can easily memorize it, and he often has philosophical thoughts and rich literary imagination.

But his background makes him have a wildness that is inconsistent with the temperament of literati, and sometimes he even seems a little barbaric, and his speech and wording are not related to the literary temperament.

This strong contrast makes Jason full of personal charm at a young age, which will attract others to look at him unconsciously and explore the secrets behind this contradictory temperament.

"If you ask me, he's really a little weird, but it could also be that I'm a little weird." Jason also sat down, picked up a book, flipped through it with one hand, and rested his other hand on his knees and said:

"Gotham is full of weirdos, right? Outsiders who come here will seem out of place. Everyone here, even the rich kids, never show weakness to others. Dick is really the gentlest person I've ever met."

At this point, Jason seemed to remember something interesting. He laughed and said, "When we quarreled, he didn't even swear. In fact, he was shocked by the swear words I swore at him."

After that, he looked up at Bruce and said, "The professor told me that I should be more tactful when talking to elders. I've finished the tactful part. Can I tell you the truth now?"

Bruce touched his head helplessly. Jason scratched his head and said, "Dick seems to have never integrated into Gotham. He always goes back and forth between home and school. The people he knows, except for those in Wayne Manor, are the rich kids in the expensive private schools."

"But I can't let him walk into Gotham like this." Bruce sighed softly and said, "He is different from you. He is far from ready to face these darkness."

After that, he also looked into Jason's eyes and said, "For people like us who are already in hell, there is no need to drag an innocent person in. When he has learned all the skills, he will eventually He has to leave here, go back to his hometown, go back to that beautiful and peaceful town, and live the life that a normal person should live. "

Jason paused, and finally nodded and said: "You are right. If he just comes here to study, there is really no need to get in touch with those dark things."

"Gotham itself is abnormal. All the social rules he learned here will not apply after leaving here. It is also possible that it will leave him with a huge psychological shadow, so it's okay not to learn."

Bruce hugged Aisha and stopped her from chewing books. While stroking Aisha's head, he said: "Dick has a complete family. This is his luck. Therefore, there is no need to live the same life as unfortunate people."

"But he doesn't seem to understand this." Jason gently touched the side of his temples and said: "But I can't explain this to him. It seems that he seems like an outsider, but I am obviously an outsider."

"Didn't you tell him about your life?" Bruce asked.

Jason sighed deeply and said, "He seems to envy me. My God! Can't the life of looking for food in the garbage dump every day discourage his enthusiasm for this city?!"

"I told Dick many stories about our difficult survival, but his attention seems to be only on various exciting and fierce gun battles, fighting wits and courage with criminals, or stealing other people's tires. Such criminal incidents."

"He doesn't care about those things that make people dizzy and swollen from hunger, shiver all over from cold, bleed and almost die. Or it is possible that he has not experienced it, so he thinks it's nothing."

Now, Bruce has nothing to say. Dick has completely walked his path again.

A rich kid who has lived a comfortable life since childhood, even if he is interested in the life of the lower class, is only interested in the violent and exciting parts that they have not been exposed to. As for the part of starvation and freezing, as long as they have not experienced it personally, they don't know how uncomfortable it is.

Although Dick is not as rich as Bruce Wayne, when he was young, the Grayson family was a famous circus in the United States. Wherever they went, they were praised and applauded. He was raised by his grandfather, who always doted on his children. Compared with the children in Gotham, Dick could be said to have grown up in a honey pot.

So, Bruce encountered a problem that all parents in the world would encounter. He wanted Dick to face the reality, but he was afraid that he would be hurt by the reality.

Thinking of this, Bruce warned himself that he must be patient. This kind of thing cannot be accomplished in a day or two. Fortunately, Dick is not old, and it should be a long time before he finishes all the courses. This is enough for him to grow up.

But on second thought, Bruce found that he had encountered another problem. If he wanted to fight these natural killers, he needed an assistant. At least now, he needed someone to help him organize books and materials.

In the past, Dick did this kind of work, but recently, Dick would rather stay in school than go home, so Bruce set his sights on Jason. He thought about it and said, "I think we are the same kind of people. We both grew up in Gotham. Now, there is a group of extremely vicious criminals who want to deal with me. I hope to get help. Jason, are you willing to help me find information?"

Jason opened his mouth, leaned outward, and looked at Bruce from head to toe, as if he didn't know him. Then, he opened his mouth and said in surprise, "Oh my God! Are you really Batman? You can actually speak properly!"

Bruce set his eyes on the book, his expression became a little complicated, and after a while, he looked into Jason's eyes and said.

"I just forgot to say that the most similar thing about us is... we have the same professor."
