By the time the Batmobile drove back to the Batcave, Jason hadn't recovered from the impact of Batman being Bruce.

The big green eyes, with tears that had not been wiped away, explored the entire cave curiously.

"Welcome back, Master Jason"

When the Batmobile stopped at the designated location, Alfred appeared out of nowhere and stood next to the Batmobile, speaking at Jason with clean clothes.

"So some cookies first?"

Seeing Jason looking at himself unresponsively, Alfred made another suggestion.....................

Jason sat in his chair, eating the cookies Alfred had made himself, not knowing what he was thinking.

Bruce stood by and sipped his coffee, carefully reading the information on his computer.

"Hey.. Are you really Batman? ”

Jason's brain seemed to be finally connected at this moment, and he looked at Bruce with a confused look.

“.. You tell me? ”

Bruce didn't answer Jason's question, and in turn threw the question at him.

“.... But, you're Bruce.... That Bruce. Wayne, the president of the Wayne Group, the brainless billionaire....... And Batman is... It's that kind again.... That's the ....... You two ......."

Jason spoke incoherently, and in the end even he couldn't figure out what he was going to say, so he had to stuff a small cookie into his mouth and continue to lower his head and nibble silently.

“... Jason, I don't know why you don't trust me..."

"You don't trust me either"

Jason's whispered retort made Bruce sigh:

"You're right, so I can't accuse you of why you didn't trust me before, but I'm telling you my biggest secret in the hope of gaining your trust"

Jason didn't answer Bruce's words, but forgot to stuff a cookie in his mouth and chewed hard.

"Jason, we agreed to take you to boarding school, and I think judging by your performance afterwards, you should be very happy with this arrangement... Can you tell me why you ran away again? ”

Seeing that Jason's attitude was showing signs of softening, Bruce took the opportunity to ask, but all he answered was the sound of Jason chewing cookies.

“.. Jason, I know you're a very smart kid, but even Batman can't quite guess what you think, and there's no way I can help you if you don't tell me what's going on."

Jason was still trying to eliminate the fourth cookie, seemingly not intending to answer any of Bruce's questions at all.

"Jason!"

"You're good friends with that guy?"

Just as Bruce was about to lose his patience, Jason finally spoke, albeit in a headless rhetorical question.

"Who?"

"The guy named Pisk"

“..... No, what's wrong? ”

“... Liar, you have to give him a gift"

“... Jason, it doesn't mean anything to give gifts in high society, he invited me to the dinner as the host of the banquet, I can't go empty-handed, it's just a matter of politeness"

Bruce's statement seemed to be approved by Jason, who lowered his head and pondered for a long time before raising his head uncertainly and asking:

"Really?"

"Of course it really is"

“.... So what do you want to give him? ”

"What?"

"A gift? What do you want to give that pedophile?!! It can't be me!! ”

Bruce suddenly faced Jason's little face that he was trying to raise, and in those eyes mixed with anger, fear, reluctance and a little help, he suddenly realized that he was probably unconsciously grasping the most crucial clue to the serial rape and murder case.

Both hands subconsciously grasped Jason's thin shoulders:

"Jason! Tell me everything you know! ”

"Master Bruce, I think you scared Master Jason"

Alfred's voice was timely to stop the intimidation that Bruce had almost become accustomed to intimidating the occupational disease.

"Ah, I'm sorry, Jason"

Noticing that the small body under his hand was trembling, Bruce hurriedly changed his tone and said.

Alfred served a glass of hot milk to the frightened child tonight to soothe his emotions.

“.... Why would you think I'd give you to him as a gift? ”

Seeing Jason, who was emotionally stable, Bruce changed the question.

“.... I heard you mention gifts in the room and mention my name...."

Jason was smart, and he could already guess that it was just a misunderstanding of his own, and that the green eyes couldn't hide his little flushed face.

“... Oh my God, I'm going to get myself avenged, I just said, 'I'll send the present when I've got dinner ready for Master Jason.'"

“... Sorry"

"Well, I accept your apology, do you still have a glass of milk?"

"Hmm"

Seeing that Jason had begun to gradually relax, Bruce decided to ask the question:

"Jason, tell me everything you know, why do you call Pisk a pedophile?"

Jason looked at Bruce for a long time before he said slowly:

“..... That day, a man came running to the bastard and said a man named Himmler. The rich man in Pisk wants to adopt me. The bastard happily sold me, I don't know how much, but I did see the man give the bastard. I thought it was just a charity game between the rich, like you adopted an orphan. But I don't care, even if it's a maid or something in the name of adoption, as long as it gets me away from that bastard..... At least that's what I thought at the time. ”

Jason's words made Bruce's eyebrows tightly wrapped, he did have a reason to guess that Jason disappeared half a year ago, but at best he thought that Jason himself had run away to get rid of his scumbag father.

“... And what about later? ”

"Later... I went to a luxury villa in a luxury car."

“... Do you remember the road? ”

"I don't remember, the windows of the car are opaque and I can't see the outside"

“... Go on"

"When I got to the villa, some of the women took off all my clothes and told me to have a medical check-up, take a shower, and then go to Mr. Pisk. I thought he was just a little clean, so I didn't think much about it and got a physical check-up."

“... But the inspection process made you suspicious? ”

"Hmm"

“.... Have a prostate exam? ”

"Hmm"

"Why are you suspicious?"

“... Please, I was born and raised at the bottom of Gotham, and of course I wouldn't be naïve enough to think that this kind of inspection is just a routine check, not that I'm bragging, but my face is very popular, and there are quite a few guys who have beaten me up, but I haven't let them succeed."

Jason proudly raised his little head, I have to say that Jason's confidence in himself is not unfounded, with red brown hair and green eyes, clear facial features, and perfect facial proportions, he must be a handsome guy in the future.

"And after that?"

"After the examination, I took a shower, not only me, but also a few little boys, one of whom may have a little problem intellectually, talking to him in a daze, and then I heard it from the mouth of a grade that is a little bigger, and after taking a shower, I changed my clothes and took a plane to another place to meet that Piske, I felt that if I got on the plane, I would probably never have a chance to come out again, so I took advantage of the fact that no one was in the changing room, I got into the slippery lane, and slipped directly into the laundry room at the bottom, I was lucky, It happened to be the day when the laundry company came to collect the clothes, and then I hid in a pile of dirty clothes and was taken out by the laundry company's car."

After Jason's story was finished, Bruce had to admire Jason's intuition, that instinct that was almost like a beast's intuition did protect him at the most critical time, if Jason really got on that plane, I'm afraid he would have ended up like those children now.

“... By the way, Jason, do you remember the characteristics of those kids? ”

"Features?"

"It's the color of the hair, the color of the eyes, or something."

"I don't remember the hair color, there are two red-haired ones, and I have one more, and his hair is redder than mine, and there is a blonde one, and then the rest is brown hair, and by the way, the one who seems to have a problem with intelligence is the black hair..... Probably so."

“... What about eye color? ”

Although Bruce had already identified that possibility, he still wanted to get evidence from Jason, who lowered his head and thought for a long time before saying:

"It seems to be all green, but mine is the best"

Jason's sure answer made Bruce's steel-blue eyes narrow.
