Chapter 1240: The Farm of Justice (Twenty-Two)

Holding Bruce's report card, Thomas sat on the sofa in Wayne Manor and covered his forehead. His current emotion was no longer angry, but worried. 恵

He found that he had fallen into a thinking error before. Professor Speed's words made him think that his son Bruce still took the path of Batman, and Batman was an omniscient genius who could do everything well.

In fact, even if Bruce was not Batman, with the large inheritance left by Thomas and Martha, the stable Wayne Group, the old housekeeper who took care of his daily life and the handsome appearance from genes, theoretically, as long as his ability level was similar to that of normal people, he would definitely live a happier life than normal people.

But now it seems that Bruce did not have time to be Batman, and did not make his life very good. On the contrary, it can be said to be a mess.

This is not because Thomas's requirements are too high. The main reason is that Thomas himself is an old-fashioned person. Before he became Batman, he was a more traditional Catholic who valued family very much. Even after he became Batman, he did not forget to save Martha, who was the Joker.

Judging from his logic of action, everything he did was to save his family, but he just failed.

Therefore, Bruce had a lively illegitimate daughter right after graduating from college, which was a bit beyond his cognition.

The United States is not as open as many people imagine. At least in Thomas's time, Catholics on the East Coast were still very conservative. If the news of illegitimate children and illegitimate daughters spread, it would simply be a loss of face for the entire family. 恵

But Thomas could still comfort himself. He and Martha died too early, and Bruce would inevitably need other emotional comfort. At that time, he was not experienced in the world, so it was not surprising that he would cause trouble.

Thomas didn't know that Aisha was actually a monster in nature. He felt that what Alfred said was credible. It might be because of the irresponsibility of Bruce and Aisha's mother, who was not easy to mention, that the little girl had various congenital diseases.

What made Thomas even more unhappy was that it seemed that Aisha's various diseases were not well treated. Since the matter had already happened, she should take responsibility instead of leaving it alone, which was contrary to Thomas's values.

If these two points were still tolerable, then Bruce's failure to do scientific research and his terrible university grades made it even more difficult for Thomas to understand.

People's time is limited, even Batman is the same. Thomas knows that he can be Batman wholeheartedly because he has nothing to worry about.

And Bruce, who is still young, must balance his work as a vigilante and writing papers at school, so it is inevitable that one aspect will be neglected.

But how can these two aspects be like this? Hui

Thomas' main activity trajectory these days is still in the West and South Districts. After all, Gotham is a megacity. If you don't take the initiative to go to the East and North Districts, you won't see the construction sites there. Even if you see them, Thomas won't think about what Bruce is doing.

Bruce has gone through a lot of trials and tribulations before he has his own thoughts and the path he wants to take. The twists and turns in this process cannot be understood without experience. Thomas could not understand what he wanted to do at first glance. Even if he knew, this Batman who was hit too hard by life might not have much hope.

Thomas didn't know that because of Schiller's arrival, the Joker in this universe was a sunset king shrimp, so he really didn't understand how Bruce could do nothing when he had such good material conditions, a genius brain and handsome looks.

Pessimistic people always become more pessimistic the more they think. This old bat who has experienced the most painful tragedy in the world, the more worried he is.

And this pessimistic speculation was most strongly confirmed when Thomas found a bunch of messy diagnosis certificates in Bruce's bedroom.

I believe many people still remember that Bruce once asked Schiller very seriously whether he was sick?

Schiller gave a positive answer, but it was not just an answer. He had prescribed some medicine for Bruce. Although Gotham's medical system was chaotic, Schiller still adhered to the principle of a doctor, which was to prescribe according to the process. 恵

Prescribing is not just writing a note. It requires a series of standardized processes, such as diagnosis, prescription, and prescription review, etc., and the necessary link is to write a diagnosis.

According to Schiller's judgment, Bruce may have some pedigree characteristics and high-functioning people characteristics because his high IQ squeezed the emotional module in his brain, but he was not a typical autistic person.

In this case, Schiller could not write randomly, but fortunately, there is also a classification for such people in medicine. Therefore, Bruce's diagnosis result is Pervasive Developmental Disorder Not Otherwise Specified.

I believe that many people have begun to feel dizzy when seeing this long list of nouns, but the diagnosis results in English are like this, not only very long, but also with various strange abbreviations.

Schiller was afraid that Bruce would not understand, so he wrote out the full name. Otherwise, he would only write PDD-NOS, which most laymen would not understand.

But it was precisely because of this very specific diagnosis that Thomas' fingertips began to tremble.

He knew something about medicine, but he was not proficient in psychiatry and psychology. Therefore, in this regard, his thinking was similar to that of ordinary people. As long as he saw words like "to be classified", "widespread", and "development", he would think of incurable diseases. 恵

At that time, Schiller prescribed a lot of drugs for Bruce, some of which were mixed with placebos, so the list of drugs was very long and looked a bit scary. What was even more scary was that at the end of the prescription, the doctor's signature was Schiller Rodriguez.

Thomas was not a native of this universe, so he didn't know Schiller's fame in this world, but he knew that Schiller was a clown.

It is hard to say whether Batman went to see the Joker for medical treatment. If the Joker examined him seriously and found out that he was ill, then Batman must be seriously ill. But if the Joker did not find out that he was ill and Batman still prescribed medicine and paid for it, then he was even more seriously ill.

As the saying goes, if people do not agree to open the window, then you can propose to lift the ceiling, and everyone will definitely agree to open the window.

If Thomas did not agree with his son to be Batman, then he would show him Bruce's terrible report card and a stack of mental illness diagnosis certificates and prescriptions, and then he would definitely agree to Bruce to be Batman.

After all, being Batman is better than being a mental patient. Martha's tragedy has fully explained this to Thomas. Being anything is better than being a madman.

A few minutes later, Thomas, who was sitting on the sofa, had these diagnosis books and receipts in addition to the report card. He simply took off his mask, revealing the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes that were full of traces of vicissitudes. Hui

Jason, who had just finished his homework, ran downstairs to drink water, and saw Thomas there worrying.

Dick had been deceived by Thomas, so he didn't trust him. Tim seemed a little afraid of Thomas, but Jason was the only one who was quite interested in Thomas.

"What's wrong with you?" Jason walked up and asked, "Do you need help?"

Thomas didn't answer, so Jason took another step forward, leaned out and glanced at the pile of papers in his hand, and then showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.

Although Thomas did not answer him immediately, he was also observing his reaction. Seeing Jason's unsurprised expression, he asked in confusion: "Have you seen these things?"

"Of course, I was next to the professor when he wrote the diagnosis, and I asked him for advice on the spelling of words."

Thomas hesitated for a moment, then waved to Jason. Jason took two steps forward in confusion. He could feel that Thomas had no ill intentions. Sure enough, Thomas gently rubbed his head and said, "Don't tell others, okay?"

"Who are you referring to?" Jason asked very bluntly. Before Thomas could speak, he said, "Are you referring to these people in Wayne Manor? They I knew it a long time ago."

"Bruce can't fool Alfred. All his things are kept by the butler. Dick has the closest relationship with him and often goes into his bedroom. I'm afraid he has seen it a long time ago. Tim is very smart and has already gotten the information from Dick."

"As for Elsa... I suggest you put these things back quickly, otherwise they will go into Elsa's stomach tonight. She is the most efficient shredder here."

Thomas stared at Jason with his wrinkled eyes. He saw two completely different temperaments in Jason's eyes. There was the wildness of the chaotic streets of the dark city of Gotham, and there was also the intellectuality from knowledge and philosophical thinking.

"No father wants his son to be sick." Thomas said. Just as he was about to say the next sentence, Jason said before him: "But no son wants his father to be sick. Do you think you are not sick?"

Thomas looked at him blankly. Jason put his hands behind his back, lowered his eyes, and then said: "If you were not sick, you would not break three ribs of your own son, and let him follow his friends to other cities instead of recuperating at home."

Thomas looked down at the diagnosis certificate again. He found that he was really good at forgiving a lunatic. Whether it was Martha the Clown or Bruce, once he learned that they might have mental illness, Thomas's expectation for them was only to let them take care of themselves. 恵

Thomas sighed deeply and stood up. He turned to Alfred and said: "Book me a plane ticket. I'm going to Kansas."

Before Alfred responded, he heard a "boom" and a violent explosion came from the gate of Wayne Manor.

Thomas instinctively pressed Jason under him. When the explosion ended and the smoke cleared, Thomas saw the gate of Wayne Manor collapsed. In the night, a familiar figure stood outside the door.

"Joker..." Thomas narrowed his eyes, and Batman's instincts buzzed, but the person who appeared outside the door was not Schiller, whom he had seen before, but another Joker.

He was wearing a truck driver's uniform, holding a half-eaten chicken leg in one hand and a bomb remote control in the other.

"Hello, my name is Jack. One of my colleagues, oh, a former colleague, called to tell me that my little bat actually found his father. I've been busy with work recently and haven't been able to visit you. It's nice to meet you, Master Batman."

Thomas didn't talk nonsense with him at all. He took out three bat darts from his waist and threw them over. Jack the Clown rolled on the spot, shook his head with a smile and said, "Great Master Batman, don't you plan to listen to the poor clown's plea before you take action?"

While Thomas loaded the pistol, he stared at Jack the Clown, and the expression on his face seemed to say "I want to see what other nonsense you can come up with."

But what Jack the Clown said next made him slowly widen his eyes.

Jack showed an exaggerated smile, limped to Thomas, and took out a crumpled note from his pocket, and slapped the note on the coffee table with confidence.

Thomas only glanced at the note, and then froze. At the same time, Jack's voice rang in his ears.

"You can't hit me, otherwise tomorrow, all of Gotham will know that the bully Wayne father and son owed money and beat up the creditor!"

"That's right, your son owes me $100, and he hasn't paid it back yet! Here, this is the IOU, it's irrefutable, let him come back and pay it back!"

Thomas' eyes went dark. 恵
