Chapter 774: Deadly Joke (I)

After hanging up the phone, Batman was stunned, not knowing what Schiller was talking about.

He glanced at the flute player who was thrown into prison by him, thought about it, and decided to finish the paper first.

In the past few days, Schiller's step-by-step pressure has made him develop good study habits, at least he can do today's work, today's work, and today's paper to be submitted, and revise it today.

Bruce returned to school and spent another afternoon in the library. He corrected all the mistakes in the previous paper, and at the same time reorganized the logical chain and deleted all the parts that were not related to the topic. This time, he was sure to pass it in one go.

So, just at seven o'clock in the afternoon, Bruce came to the office building again. He was about to knock on the door when the office door was opened.

Schiller was walking out with a stack of information. When he saw Bruce, he showed an unexpected expression, looked him up and down, and then set his eyes on the content paper in his hand.

Bruce was about to speak when Schiller said, "Put it on my desk. I'll look at it tomorrow morning."

He was about to leave when Bruce stopped him and said, "Professor, are you busy now? I have a few questions..."

"Go read a book if you have any questions." Schiller said without looking back, "Have you finished reading the Jungian theory I asked you to read before? If not, go read it quickly. You haven't even understood the basic theory, so how can you have so many questions?"

He left quickly, leaving Bruce alone. The windows at both ends of the corridor were open. When the cold wind blew, Bruce felt what it meant to be chilled to the bone.

Humans are very strange creatures. When another person pays a lot of attention to you, you will feel very stressed and annoyed, but if he suddenly stops paying attention to you, you will wonder what happened to him.

But in fact, this sudden attention is unnecessary. It's just that in the process of being paid attention to, people will tame themselves and adapt to this rhythm, and when this unnecessary attention disappears, they will feel a sense of loss.

It was difficult for Bruce to describe his current mood. He should have been happy that he was finally freed from the terrible academic pressure, but now, he was holding this paper, not knowing what to do.

Bruce didn't know if he had ever felt proud of Schiller's special treatment. After all, he knew that Schiller put so much pressure on him because Schiller knew that he had the ability to achieve good results. The professor was affirming his talent and thought he was different from other students.

When a person is affirmed by the top people in a certain professional field, he will have an illusion that he must have a unique talent in this professional field, so he is treated differently.

But in fact, from a macro perspective, the other party may just have no better choice.

Schiller will not focus on training Batman because he is the protagonist of the comics. It's just that because of the source of students in Gotham, he really has no better candidate.

Regardless of whether Bruce has the talent to study psychology, at least his IQ and comprehension ability are here. The upper limit is unknown, but the lower limit must be very high. No matter which major he is in, he has great training value.

However, it is a different time. A person cannot always be seventeen years old, but there will always be someone who is seventeen years old. Bruce is twenty years old this year, but Jason is only eleven years old this year.

At present, Jason's mental state is much healthier than Bruce's. Although neither of them has parents, Jason does not have so many extreme emotions.

Perhaps it is because when having enough food becomes a problem, philosophical thinking about sin, life, revenge, and law has to be put aside.

Only when people are very idle will they think about life and have so many extra emotions that are not beneficial to survival. Jason, who struggles at the bottom of Gotham, is busy with survival every day, but this makes him have a more stable mental state and a more self-consistent logic.

If a person's own mental state is unstable, then he cannot treat others, because if he cannot actively accept other people's emotions, there is no way to get the key to enlighten others from the behavior of listening to the patient's psychology. You must be calmer than the patient to calm the patient down.

The reason why Schiller kept asking Bruce to improve his academic level was that, judging from Batman's mental state, even if he could study psychology, he could only specialize in theory, and he could not really face patients because he was also a patient.

Moreover, Batman also had disadvantages in language output. His personality meant that he would not explain too much to others and was not used to expressing his received emotions to others, which made it impossible for him to accumulate experience in practice.

However, Jason was extra talented in this regard.

He could quickly perceive other people's emotions, and then output what he felt through language. At the same time, he would not be too involved in the process, leading to a mental breakdown.

And just now, Schiller discovered that Jason also has a strong memory ability. Before, Jason said that he didn't like reading, and Schiller thought he was not an input-type personality, but now it seems that he may just not find something that interests him. He prefers liberal arts to science.

Moreover, he is younger, just the age to absorb knowledge and understand the world, and his personality is more plastic and easier to talk about.

Schiller prefers to get along with people who express themselves more directly. It is already troublesome enough to test patients in a roundabout way on weekdays. In daily interactions, the Riddler should get out of Gotham.

After drawing the Jason card, Schiller decisively threw Batman to be a warehouse manager. Originally, university teachers don't have to chase after a student to make him study, so let Batman return to a free life that depends entirely on self-consciousness.

In this way, Schiller disappeared in Bruce's world at a speed that caught him off guard, and his resolute attitude made him confused.

Schiller told him that he only needed to submit a readable paper before graduation, and he could make up other assignments or retake them as he pleased.

This freedom came so suddenly that Bruce didn't know what to do for a moment.

Standing at the gate of Gotham University campus, blowing the cold wind for three minutes, Bruce realized that he should go home now to see Alfred, whom he hadn't seen for a few days.

But when he returned to Wayne Manor, he didn't see Alfred. The huge Wayne Manor was empty, without Alfred, Dick, or Elsa.

Bruce had to admit that his heart skipped a beat when he saw this scene.

But less than two minutes later, Alfred came back. Seeing Bruce, Alfred smiled and said, "Master, are you back?"

"Yes, Alfred, where have you been?" Bruce asked.

Alfred took off his gloves, hung his scarf on the hanger, and then turned around and said, "Did you forget? I called you before to discuss Aisha's kindergarten, but you were very busy at that time..."

"There are very few places in the two kindergartens in the South District. If you want to catch up with the start of school this year, you must go to the adaptation class in advance. I am afraid that Aisha will not be able to register this year, so I sent her to the kindergarten adaptation class in advance. Today is the fourth day of school."

Bruce said in a daze: "Oh, she went to kindergarten, so how is she adapting? Will she make a fuss to come back?"

Alfred smiled happily and said, "Ms. Aisha's social skills are stronger than I thought. Although she can't speak much, she has a lot of fun playing with the children, and she likes to dance with the teacher..."

"Doesn't she need someone to tell her stories?" Bruce asked.

"Dick told me stories the first two days, but then, Miss Aisha was very tired from playing in kindergarten, so she fell asleep as soon as she got home, and slept all night. She was more focused on eating than usual. Master, Aisha has really improved a lot."

Bruce was silent for a while, then asked: "What about Dick?"

"Dick joined the choir again in the new school. The choir teacher recommended him to the dance club because he is very flexible. Now they are rehearsing a ballet, and Dick plays the male lead..."

"Oh, by the way, Alfred, how is your health? "Bruce looked at Alfred with some worry. Alfred shook his head and said, "It's just a common cold. It's already healed. Don't worry."

Bruce nodded and said, "Everything is fine, right?"

Although his tone was affirmative, there was always an inexplicable emotion. Suddenly, he seemed to remember something and said, "Where is Selina? Has she been here recently?"

Alfred shook his head and said, "Miss Selina hasn't been here for a week, but she called twice."

"What did she say?" Bruce asked.

"She asked you to go to her if you are free, but you haven't been free for the past week..."

As soon as Alfred finished speaking, Bruce turned and went out. He walked quickly to the car and drove to Selina's home.

Selina has been living in a relatively good apartment in the East District. Although it is a bit shabby, it is much better than other places. When Bruce walked into the corridor, he saw that the door of Selina's room was open and there was light inside.

Bruce frowned and walked over. Just as he was about to get close to the door, a bottle was thrown out with a "bang" and hit the opposite wall.

Bruce hesitated for a moment, took a step forward, and with another "bang", several magazines were thrown out.

Bruce walked to the door and looked inside. Selina was cleaning the house. A lot of messy garbage was thrown out. Looking closely, she didn't seem to be cleaning, but packing luggage.

Hearing the sound, Selina looked back at Bruce and said, "You're here?"

Bruce nodded, looked her up and down, and said, "Are you looking for me?"

"No, not now." Selina quickly stuffed a pile of clothes into the suitcase, and then said, "You don't have time anyway."

"I was quite busy some time ago, but now I have time. Where are you going?" Bruce asked.

Selina opened her mouth, took a deep breath, then stood up with her knees, looked down at her suitcase and said:

"I'm going to Hollywood."
