Chapter 1145 Professor (VIII)

Bruce comes and goes in a hurry.

Facts have proved that even if Batman wants to be less serious, all kinds of bad things will keep him busy running for his life.

Now, he had to go home and look up traces of these natural perverts in various psychological tomes.

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 contain clues.

Bruce, who has set a certain goal, has a very strong ability to move. His figure shuttles back and forth between the bookshelves. One moment he touches the names of the books with his hands, and the other moment he moves the ladder and takes down the top book. Occasionally, He would also kneel half on the ground, sorting out the books he selected from the bookshelf.

Between two rows of tall bookshelves, a stack of books almost reaching the ceiling floated precariously over. If I hadn't seen the two hands under the stack of books, I would have thought the library was haunted.

Bruce took so many books at once that he had to shake his body from side to side to maintain balance. Just when he slid to the left and stabilized the tower of books that was about to collapse, Bruce stood there and sighed, Instinctively shouting, "Dick!"

Currently used, it is the most complete and best-used app for listening to books. It integrates 4 major speech synthesis engines and over 100 sounds. It is also a source-changing tool that supports offline reading, huanyuanapp. Source-changing App

After the name blurted out, Bruce's expression stiffened. He pursed his lips into a straight line and ignored the collapsed tower of books. Looking at the books scattered on the floor, Bruce sighed softly.

Just as Bruce was squatting on the ground and picking up the book, a series of footsteps came from the stairwell. Jason, who was holding Aisha, ran up with a thump and saw the books scattered on the floor. , he screamed in surprise, 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 as he picked up a book. He turned his head and looked at Jason. Jason must have been running over again, his cheeks were red, and his hair was still steaming.

Jason Todd is always so active and fast, full of energy, and never seems to get tired at all. He is simply a collection of all the kids in Gotham, as active 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 young man from a small town on a farm. Compared to Jason, Dick's personality was quieter and even seemed... A bit melancholy.

But Bruce also knows why. A shadow has always hung over the Grayson family. The death of Dick's grandfather caused the Grayson family acrobatic troupe to fall from the top position in the world. Dick has always wanted to find out his grandfather's injustice. Let the Grayson family regain its glory.

Of course, Bruce has never thought of using the power of the Wayne Group to help him investigate, but Dick has shown unparalleled stubbornness in this regard. He is determined not to use Bruce's help, and is even very disgusted with anyone intervening in this matter. But now, it has developed to the point where you can't even mention it or ask about it.

Just two days ago, Jason and Dick had a quarrel. Jason heard that the Dick family had such an injustice and immediately wanted to help him investigate. But after Dick found out about his actions, he felt very angry and said Jason is nosy and doesn't trust his abilities.

However, Jason was born as the king of kids on the streets of Gotham. The most important thing about the Kid Gang is loyalty. If you have helped me, next time you encounter any difficulties, I must try my best to help you. Otherwise, it will be disrespectful. White-eyed wolf.

Jason felt that Dick's reaction was that he looked down on him. The two of them had a big fight, which made their faces red and thick. If Elsa hadn't started crying in the end, which alarmed Alfred, the two of them might have taken action directly.

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

Jason sneered, waved his hand and said, "I'm too lazy to argue with him. He's not a native of Gotham. He's always like this from other places."

Bruce watched Jason's every move and felt something strange. In fact, Jason was the best among all the children Bruce knew, or in other words, the best in liberal arts.

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

However, his background gave him a kind of wildness that was inconsistent with the temperament of a literary man. Sometimes he even seemed a little barbaric, and his speech and diction had nothing to do with the literary temperament.

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

"If you ask me, he is really a little weird, but maybe I am a little weird." Jason also sat down, picked up a book, put one hand on his knee and said:

"Gotham is full of weirdos, right? Outsiders will seem out of place when they come to our place. Everyone here, even the rich kids, never show weakness to others. Dick is really the gentlest person I have ever seen."

Having said this, Jason seemed to have remembered something interesting. He laughed, and then said: "When we quarreled, he wouldn't even curse. He was even very shocked when I cursed him." ”

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

Bruce touched his head helplessly, and Jason scratched his head and said, "Dick never seems to have integrated into Gotham. He is always on the line between home and school. The people he knows, except for those in Wayne Manor, Outside of people, there are kids from rich families in expensive private schools.”

"But I can't just 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 speaking, 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. After he has learned all the skills, he will eventually Leave here, go back to his hometown, return to that beautiful and peaceful town, and live a life that normal people should live.”

Jason paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "You're right. If he just comes here to go to school, there is really no need to be exposed to those dark things."

"Gotham itself is abnormal. All the social rules he learned here will not be applicable after he leaves here. It may also leave a huge psychological shadow on him, so it doesn't matter if he doesn't learn."

Bruce hugged Elsa over and stopped her from chewing books. While stroking Elsa's head, he said, "Dick has a complete family. This is his luck. Therefore, there is no need to fight with misfortune." people, living the same life.”

"But he doesn't seem to understand this matter." Jason gently touched the side of his temples again and said, "But I can't explain this matter to him. It would make him look like an outsider, but it's obvious I’m the outsider.”

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

Jason sighed deeply and said, "He seems to be envious of me. Oh my God! The life of looking for food in the garbage dump every day can't dissuade him from his enthusiasm for this city." ?”

"I told Dick many stories about our difficult survival, but his attention seemed to be only on various exciting and fierce gun battles, battles of wits with criminals, or stealing tires from other people's cars. Such criminal events superior."

"He didn't care at all about being dizzy from hunger, shivering from cold, bleeding, injured, and almost dying. Or maybe, he had never experienced it, so he thought it was nothing."

At this point, Bruce had nothing to say, and Dick completely walked his way over again.

Even if a kid from a rich family who has lived a good life since childhood is interested in the life at the bottom, he is only interested in the violent and exciting parts that they have not been exposed to. As for the parts of starvation and freezing, as long as they have not experienced it personally, they are not interested at all. I don’t know how uncomfortable it is.

Although Dick is not as rich as Bruce Wayne, when he was a child, the Grayson family was still a famous circus all over the United States. They were praised and applauded wherever they went. He was raised by his grandfather, and the old man always raised his children. He is extremely doting. Compared with these children in Gotham, Dick can be said to have grown up in a honeypot.

As a result, Bruce encountered a problem faced by parents all over the world. He wanted Dick to recognize the reality, but 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 completed in a day or two. Fortunately, Dick is not very old. It should be a long time before he completes all the courses, which is enough for him to grow. Get up.

But when he thought about it, Bruce found that he had encountered another problem. If he wanted to fight these natural-born killers, then he needed an assistant. At least now, he needed someone to help him organize books and information.

In the past, Dick would do this kind of work, but recently, Dick would rather stay at school than go home, so Bruce set his sights on Jason. He thought about it and then said, "I think the two of us can do it." We are all the same kind of people. We are all children who 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 check the information? "

Jason opened his mouth. He leaned away and looked at Bruce from head to toe, as if he didn't know him. Then, he opened his mouth wide and said in surprise: "Oh my God! You really Is it Batman? You can actually speak well!"

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

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