Chapter 1156 Professor (XIX)

After a while, Jason helped Bruce pick up all the books on the floor. Bruce was reading behind the table, and Jason helped him find the relevant books, and then marked the chapters that might have clues in the catalog.

Jason was concentrating on reading the catalog, and suddenly, he found a black shadow cast on the table. He turned around and saw Dick.

"Oh my God, why are you walking without making any sound? Oh, I forgot, you are an acrobat." Jason was startled by him. He just wanted to make a joke to ease the atmosphere, but he found that Dick's face was not good.

"Yeah, I'm an acrobat. I can't do anything except performing acrobatics, especially I can't help Bruce organize the information!" After saying that, Dick turned around and left. Jason immediately jumped off the chair and grabbed him and said, "What's wrong with you? Why are you so weird? What's there to be angry about? If you want to do this job, we can do it together."

Dick shook Jason's hand away and looked at him angrily, saying, "You can do all the work by yourself, why do you need me? If Bruce thought I was useful, he wouldn't have asked you to come!"

Jason sighed. He was about to explain when Dick walked towards the stairs. Jason quickly rushed to him, stopped him, and said to him, "Bruce asked me to come because he was afraid that you would get into danger when you went out for a night trip."

"Then how do you live? In Gotham, you have never gone out at night? "Dick got even angrier, his face flushed, and he raised his voice and said, "You are younger than me, and you have never encountered any danger. Why can't I go out alone? !"

"It's not like that, Dick, you just don't know the terrain of Gotham yet, and it's easy to get lost, so we..."

"Then I will never go out, won't I never be familiar with the terrain!"

"Then you can go out during the day."

"But I have to go to class during the day!"

Jason looked at Dick helplessly. Dick now obviously wanted everything, academic performance, fighting skills, and familiarity with Gotham. He wanted to prove his independence and wanted Bruce's recognition. It can be said that this is a very typical performance of a child in the emotionally sensitive period.

At this time, Bruce, who heard the noise, came over and found that the two had quarreled again. He also felt a headache.

Bruce wanted to ask about the cause and effect of the matter, but he didn't know who to ask first. Looking at the current situation, no matter who he asked first, it might stimulate the other person.

Fortunately, Alfred came over at this time. Dick glared at Jason and ran away in a hurry. Before leaving, he threw down a sentence: "I'm back to school. I won't be back this week."

Bruce looked at his back and shook his head helplessly. Now, the most difficult thing to deal with is that Dick doesn't seem to want to communicate with him at all.

The emotional changes of adolescent children are always difficult to understand. There is no node that can be remembered when they burst out. Bruce doesn't know when Dick started to get upset.

Although care and communication are the best solutions, the difficulty lies in that children at this stage are not willing to communicate. They think that listening to their parents means they have no opinions at all, and even talking to their parents means they lose.

Now, the three children living in Wayne Manor are at different ages. After the initial chaotic period, Aisha has made a lot of progress and has become a cute human cub in the public's cognition. Although a little clingy, she can still make people feel the joy of being a parent.

Jason was in his most active period, full of energy, and liked to play wildly. He had basically no time to think. The only thing that made him feel a little tired was that he was too energetic. In less than two hours, he had almost drowned Bruce after checking and marking the books.

Moreover, Jason stared at Bruce with a shining look full of expectation, hoping that his work results would get feedback. Moreover, for a child who is good at reading, it is useless to just praise him. Bruce felt that Jason might hope that he would finish reading all the books tonight.

Dick, on the other hand, became very sensitive emotionally. Jason's appearance gave him a great sense of crisis. The more he felt a sense of crisis, the more he wanted to step into Gotham, but the more specific his actions were, the more worried Bruce was, and the more he would try to stop him, which would make Dick even more unhappy.

After Batman finally learned some communication skills, Dick began to refuse to communicate. Bruce knew that he had to go on night patrol tonight, not to fight criminals, but to stop Dick from wandering around.

After night fell, Batman appeared on the roof of Wayne Building again. He stood at the highest point of Gotham and looked down. Soon, he found a black shadow jumping on the roof of Gotham building.

Batman swooped down and saw Dick running on the roof. Dick had seen Batman flying over with a hang glider, but he had no intention of stopping. Instead, he accelerated and continued to run forward, even jumping high and crossing the gap between the two buildings.

This is a very dangerous action, because if the jump distance is not enough, it will definitely be smashed to pieces.

In an instant, Batman gathered his cape and stopped in front of Dick. Under the streetlights reflected by the glass curtain wall of the building, he looked at Dick and said, "Go back, Dick."

Dick stared at Batman with his lips pursed, not wanting to give in at all. His face was full of stubbornness. Soon, his eyes showed a trace of sadness. He looked at Batman and said, "I don't just want to learn some fighting skills from you. I also want to help you and help you complete your great cause. Why do you always reject me?!"

"I didn't." Batman looked at Dick and said, "It's just that you should know how dangerous this city is."

"I'm not afraid!"

"But I'm afraid."

The sadness in Dick's eyes turned into shock. He didn't expect Batman to say that, so the psychological defense line he had built for himself for the whole afternoon, like a city wall, collapsed in an instant. He looked at Batman very aggrievedly, with a In a crying voice, he said:

"You are optimistic about Jason because he is more like you, and he can be adopted by you. He will be a good helper for you. Why don't you consider me? I am not old enough and haven't finished my studies. Isn't Jason the same?!"

"Dick..." Batman called his name softly, but he didn't look at him. Instead, he glanced at the ground in front of him and said, "Everyone who is involved in the dark vortex can't get out of it, and this city really doesn't need another orphan."

Dick clenched his fist tightly and shouted loudly, "I am not a burden to you, I don't need your protection, I will prove it to you!"

After shouting, he turned and ran. Batman took a step and wanted to continue chasing him, but Dick's emotions were obviously broken. If Batman chased him like a prey, it would definitely put more pressure on him.

If Batman has learned anything from the mutual torture with Schiller in the past few years, it is how to learn to give people the greatest pressure like this professor, and how to do the opposite to avoid giving people pressure.

But soon, Batman had to chase Dick in the direction of his escape again, because there was a scream on the street about two or three buildings away from here.

After hearing the scream, Dick turned around and ran over without thinking, and Batman behind him arrived at the scene almost at the same time as him. As soon as he landed, he saw a black shadow raising a dagger at the man in the alley.

With two "swoosh" sounds, two bat darts cut through the air and hit the black shadow at a very fast speed, but the scene of blood splashing as imagined did not appear.

The moment the light on the bat belt shone on the black shadow, Dick let out a terrified scream, took two steps back and fell to the ground.

Even Batman's eyes fixed, because the appearance of the black shadow was too scary.

It didn't look like a person, but a life-size doll, and it was a simulated movable joint doll.

But what is even more terrifying is that the limbs of the puppet that were separated and then connected by ball joints are not made of plastic or metal, but human limbs.

And it can be seen that the limbs of this scary puppet are not from one person.

The two legs should be from a woman, white and slender, wearing high heels, the left arm is bulging with muscles and tattoos, and it is obvious that it is from a gang member, and the right arm is much shorter than the other limbs, it should be from a child.

The head of this puppet is a young man, wearing glasses, but his face is painted with scary doll makeup and a crooked wig.

His lips were completely cut off and replaced with plastic lip plumping like Barbie dolls, the upper and lower lips were sewn with wire, one eyeball was replaced with a doll's fake eye, and the other eyeball showed deep fear and pleading.

The moment Batman appeared, the puppet fell to the ground as if it had lost control, but Batman did not check on him immediately. Instead, he helped Dick to the wall, patted Dick's back as he kept retching, and sprayed him with some tranquilizer spray.

Dick's face was pale, because the impact of the scene just now was too great. He saw the details of the monster without any preparation.

It was a living person made into a puppet, with coagulated blood, broken skin and terrified look, all clearly visible.

Perhaps, many people who have seen the scene of the accident know that the most impactful is not the picture, but the picture with a strong smell, and some people can even hear the subtle sound of blood spurting.

The scene surrounded by various senses will make people involuntarily think of how terrible it would be if the tragedy happened to them.

This association will directly break through people's psychological defenses, making people feel extremely afraid and disgusted. Dick is in this state now.

Dick was in a state of panic and even the tranquilizer spray was of no use. After the panic, he became angry and then violent, trying to break free from Batman. Batman could only stretch out his arms and hug him.

He kept patting Dick's back and said to him: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid... I'm here."

After a while, Dick finally calmed down. He began to tremble and cry again. Batman almost instinctively grasped his current state of mind, so he patted his back and said: "I know, this is scary. I just broke out in a cold sweat and my shirt was soaked."

Dick's crying subsided a little. Batman continued: "Anyone who sees such a cruel scene for the first time will feel scared. You are not weak."

After crying for a long time, Dick finally calmed down. He sniffed, wiped his tears, looked at Batman and said: "... You go and have a look, he seems to want to kill someone."

After making sure Dick was okay, Batman let him go and walked towards the terrifying puppet, but before he could walk over, a small black shadow rushed out from behind the trash can at the end of the alley and shouted to Batman: "You are Batman, right? You must be the great hero Batman!"

Batman was stunned. The great hero Batman? He had never heard anyone call him that. For a long time, Batman had a bad reputation. People only thought that he was a pervert in a tights. Even if he had changed a little now, he would never be a great hero.

When the light on the bat belt shone over, the figure covered his eyes with his hands, as if he was stimulated by the light.

But soon, he rushed to the side of the puppet, helped up the other man who fell to the ground, and said, "Oh my God, Uncle Virati, you were almost attacked by a scary puppet!"

After the man who fell to the ground stood up, Batman found that it was a fat middle-aged man who looked kind. The fabric of the clothes he wore was very ordinary, but he was holding the key of a luxury car in his hand. He looked like the driver.

The fat Virati covered his chest, and it seemed that he had not reacted yet. After seeing the scary puppet on the ground, he let out a piercing scream, rolled his eyes, and began to fall to the ground.

"Batman! Help Uncle Verati! He is my father's driver, and he is here to pick me up from school!"

It was only then that Batman saw the appearance of the small black shadow. It was a little boy with short black hair and blue-green eyes. There was no expression of fear on his face. On the contrary, he seemed a little excited.

He rushed directly in front of Batman, and then stretched out his hand to pull his cape. Although Batman dodged it, he still spoke quickly:

"Oh my God! I really didn't expect! I would meet my idol Batman here! You must sign an autograph for me, I have admired you for a long time! I know that you are a great hero, and you really saved me this time, I know that I didn't make a mistake!"

He said this with an expectant look at Batman, but then he clenched his fists and looked at the ground, stamping his feet and saying: "I knew that I would definitely meet Batman! I knew that he was as handsome as I imagined!!"

Batman just opened his mouth to say something, and the little boy ran a little further away, looked at Batman and said: "Oh, yes, you can take me home, so that I can treat you to a midnight snack."

"Look at me, I forgot to introduce myself! My father is the famous right-hand rudder Drake, I am Little Drake, you can also call me Tim Drake!"
