Chapter 774: Deadly Joke (I)

After hanging up the phone, Batman stood there in a daze, 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, finish today, and revise the paper that needs to be submitted 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 7 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..."

"If you have questions, go read a book." 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 understood the basic theory yet, 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 and could 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 a talent for studying 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 act 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 was destined 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 this process, leading to mental breakdown.

And just now, Schiller discovered that Jason also had a strong memory ability. Before, Jason said that he did not like reading books, and Schiller thought he was not an input-type personality, but now it seems that he may just not have found something he is interested in. He prefers liberal arts to science.

Moreover, he is younger, and it is the age to absorb knowledge and understand the world. His personality is more plastic and easier to explain.

Schiller prefers to get along with people who express themselves more directly. Testing patients in roundabout ways is already tiring enough. In daily interactions, the Riddler should get out of Gotham.

After drawing the Jason card, Schiller decisively threw Batman away as a warehouse manager. Originally, university teachers did not necessarily have to chase after a certain student to make him study. It was all up to his conscious decision to let Batman return. Go live your life freely.

Just like that, Schiller disappeared into Bruce's world at an unparalleled speed. His speed caught him off guard, and his firm attitude left him confused.

Schiller told him that as long as he handed in a paper that he could read before graduation, he could make up for other assignments or retake them as much as he liked.

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

Standing at the gate of Gotham University campus, with the cold wind blowing for three minutes, Bruce realized that he should go home now to see Alfred, whom he had not seen for several days.

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

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

But within two minutes, 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 the scarf on the hanger, then turned around and said, "Did you forget? I called you before to discuss Elsa going to kindergarten, but you were very busy at that time... "

"The two kindergartens in the southern district have very few places. If you want to catch up with the start of school this year, you have to go to the adaptation class in advance. I was afraid that Aisha wouldn't be able to register this year, so I sent her to the kindergarten in advance. It’s time to get used to the class. 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 about coming back?"

Alfred smiled happily and said: "Miss Aisha's social skills are stronger than I thought. Although she doesn't know how to speak yet, she has fun playing with the children, and she also likes to dance with the teacher... …”

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

"Dick told stories for the first two days, but then Miss Aisha was very tired from playing in the kindergarten. She fell asleep when she came home and stayed up all night. She was more focused on eating than usual. Master, Aisha has really made progress. A lot.”

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

"Dick re-joined the choir of the new school. The choir teacher recommended him to join the dance club because his flexibility is very good. Now they are rehearsing a ballet, with Dick playing the leading role..."

"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 has been cured long ago." , don’t worry.”

Bruce nodded and said, "Everything's fine, right?"

Although his tone was affirmative, there was always an inexplicable emotion. Suddenly, he said as if he remembered something: "Where is Selena? Has she been here recently?"

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

"What did she say?" Bruce asked.

"She asked you to go to her place if you are free, but you have not been free in the past week..."

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

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. , there is still light coming from inside.

Bruce frowned and walked over. Just when he was about to approach the door, there was a "bang" and a bottle was thrown out 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 peeked in. Selina was cleaning up the house. A lot of messy garbage was thrown out. Looking closely, she seemed to be packing instead of cleaning.

When Selina heard the sound, she looked back at Bruce and said, "Are you here?"

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

"No, I'm not looking for it now." Selena quickly stuffed a pile of clothes into the suitcase, and then said, "You're not free anyway."

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

Selena opened her mouth, took a deep breath on the spot, then stood up with her knees in hand, looked down at her suitcase and said:

"I'm going to Hollywood."
