Chapter 811: Red Hood (5)

I have to admit that Evans is indeed a very hard-working student, and he knows Schiller very well, and the advice he gave to Schiller makes him feel that there is some truth in it.

Schiller's decision to give Bruce a decent grade and graduate him wasn't motivated by guilt or sympathy.

In the course of human life, the overall emotional and psychological changes have a certain pattern, and many times ordinary people will feel that time is the best medicine to heal pain, but the premise is that it is only pain, not disease.

Psychological problems and mental illnesses do not diminish over time, on the contrary, because many people do not know their own psychological state, they will put themselves in a potentially stressful environment for a long time, or repeatedly use trauma to recreate to stimulate the spirit, if not treated, the overall trend is in a state of decline.

It is almost impossible for a mentally ill person with extremely severe psychological trauma to get rid of the disease on his own, which is like asking a person to step on his right foot and step on his left foot to go to the sky, which cannot be solved by "thinking about something".

But Batman really wanted to open it.

Regardless of how he tried to explain himself, whether he used the expertise he had learned in school or not, he did work a miracle that not only did he cure himself, but he even took a big step forward on the road of mental stability and logical self-consistency.

Such a grade is actually enough for him to graduate, but the problem is that he has too many credits to go through the process, and Schiller still needs to find a legitimate reason to let him graduate.

It has not been uncommon for the undergraduate to publish a few top journals, and then due to some special reasons, there are too many missed classes, resulting in insufficient credits, and the rules cannot graduate, but the exceptional award of degree certificates, Schiller alone has seen two or three cases.

But the exception is not broken casually, you always have to show some achievements, this experience in the slums, can only be said to have cured himself, there is no way to use it as practical experience, used for graduation, and his experience is a bit too miserable, even if Schiller wants to say it, Bruce will not agree.

In that case, Bruce had to take another test to meet the criteria for graduation, and since his performance in theory was far inferior to that in practice, it was better to add another practical test.

Originally, Schiller planned to let Bruce go back to the slums and repeat it according to the previous method, but this time he had a strategy in hand, and he was able to score a very beautiful result in a very short time, which was just right for graduation.

But then he thought about it, the other students at Gotham University, many of whom came from the slums, were not convincing enough, and it only made them feel that they were not just mixing in the slums. Me or my relatives can do it.

Therefore, Schiller had to increase the difficulty a little, he felt that Bruce's first time in the slum dungeon did not perform well, not because he was not capable enough, but mainly because he didn't want to open it.

The moral bottom line is higher than all the people here, and you have to accept the reality that the standard of living is lower than the vast majority of people here, after all, if Gotham is a normal city and everyone abides by the law, then there is no problem with such behavior, but Gotham is completely reversed, and the law-abiding are rare breeds here, and there is no way to compete with these people if they follow the rules.

In this case, it is better to raise the class level a little higher, to an orderly but not so orderly place, give full play to the theoretical knowledge learned, understand the rules, and quickly integrate into the group.

And this new dungeon, naturally, is the Gotham Gang.

Even the Gotham gangsters at the bottom have a lot of rules, which have a sense of order more than the chaos at the bottom, the difficulty is not too difficult, and it can also let other students see Bruce's level, so there should be no problem for him to graduate out of the ordinary.

After deciding on it, Schiller came to the ward where Bruce was hospitalized, and because he had been injected with lizard serum, the more serious wounds on his body had now been completely healed, and only the scar on the epidermis had not yet grown perfectly.

Now, all that was left of Bruce's injuries was trauma, and when he heard the news while lying in his hospital bed, he felt that he might have had some mental trauma, leading to hallucinations.

Schiller would have let him graduate??!!!

Bruce closed the book in his hand, looked at Schiller, and said, "Professor, if you're really sorry for letting me fall into the chemistry pool, you don't have to do it this way."

"There are a couple of mistakes in your statement." Schiller looked at the notebook in his hand and said calmly, "First of all, it wasn't me who made you fall into the chemistry pool, but the clown, and secondly, even if it was me, I wouldn't be sorry for this, and finally, this is not a discussion but a notice, if you don't plan to participate, don't graduate."

With that, Schiller tossed Bruce the notebook full of words written on it, which contained some well-known exam requirements.

First of all, Bruce can't use the technology equipment that is already available, such as batsuits, batmobiles, etc., but he is not limited to inventions, and secondly, he can't reveal his identity, after all, there are still many people in the gangster copy who know Bruce.

Finally, and most importantly, the passing standard, Bruce felt insulted by the line that read, "Successfully join the gang and don't get fired for a month."

Bruce suspects Schiller of favoritism and unfettered use of his genius to make money by asking for a gang to be a cheater, and he has proof.

Bruce wasn't going to do just that, and even if Schiller didn't arrange the exam, he wanted to go around the gang.

As an integral part of Gotham, the gangster culture is the foundation and lifeblood of the place, and Bruce is curious about it, so sooner or later he has to go, and not only to join the gang, but also to make a name for himself.

And now, it's the best time, because his appearance has not fully recovered, and more importantly, his voice has changed somewhat.

After falling into chemistry, he actually choked on water, and his throat and vocal cords were corroded to a certain extent, which made his voice different from that of both Bruce and Batman.

His two months of miserable experience in the slums have also changed his body shape relatively much, and even the chin that is often exposed has become sharper, even those who are more familiar with him are unrecognizable.

And this also means that he can use another hidden identity to reach out to acquaintances he has been in contact with before without being discovered.

After experiencing the painful lesson of the slums, Bruce finally understood that a good man and three gangs are not just a proverb, without acquaintances, it is difficult to mix anywhere, so this gangster trip, he plans to find acquaintances to take him.

However, Bruce, who was lying on the hospital bed, crossed his fingers and counted the people he knew, either he had nothing to do with the circle and could not provide much help, or he ...... Either that, or too Schiller.

Thinking about it, Bruce took aim at one person, and that was Jason Todd.

The last time he dismissed Bruce Bu, Bruce understood that Jason was actually a good boy with a good nature, but because he was in a special environment, he had a different upbringing experience from a normal child.

But this upbringing did not make him vulnerable, but showed his talent even more, and Bruce, who had lived in the slums, knew that even a native of Gotham would find it very difficult to become the leader of a child gang here.

Once you become a gang leader, it means that in addition to worrying about your own food, clothing, housing and transportation, you also have to worry about everyone in the gang, even if you are familiar with it, it is an extremely difficult job.

Or rather, it's not a question of IQ, it's a question of emotional intelligence, you have to get out of this society before you can lead others, which is very difficult for adults, let alone a child.

Bruce Township, if he accepted such a gang at the age of eleven, it is estimated that he would have a headache for a long time, he can make inventions, but how to sell the inventions he makes? How do you divide the money you get from selling? How do you keep the money you share? How do you explain the assignment to the children? It's all trouble.

But Jason can do a good job, according to Bruce's understanding, the Capuch Tail Gang is also one of the best kids on that street, if you can get his help, the start of the gangster copy will definitely be quite smooth.

So, he concealed his identity and found Jason, wanting to learn from the bottom of the gang, find out the context of the gang along the way, and lay a good foundation for what he wants to do next.

And the reason why Bruce chose a red hood is to distinguish it from the previous image of Batman, if you make it black again, who knows that this is another vest of Batman, it is better to use some bright colors.

And he also has a perfect reason to explain why he wears this mask, after all, his injuries are not healed now, and the scars on his body are very similar to the scars left after severe burns, as long as he says that he only wore a hood because of his disfigurement due to burns, then no one will be surprised, after all, this is Gotham.

And Jason really didn't disappoint him, whether it was reasoning, making plans or executing plans, his level far exceeded his peers, and even far exceeded the vast majority of adults.

If it was before, no matter how well Jason's plan was formulated, Batman would definitely make his own plan and let Jason do what he said, preferably by doing it himself, not missing every detail, and he would definitely scoff at what Jason said.

But now, he honestly stayed in the phone booth, waiting for Jason's call, and after a while, the phone rang, and Jason's voice came from there: "I got his house number, ready to answer me."

Bruce could hear that Jason's voice was a little weak, he hung up the phone very quickly, and began to think about where to find the props to stop the bleeding quickly, Jason was most likely injured.

But this is also normal, an eleven-year-old child, alone on a infiltration mission, even if there are no gangs in that hotel, it does not mean that the security guards or staff there are not weapons.

After a while, a truck stopped steadily in front of the alley door, Jason sat in the driver's seat, lying on the steering wheel, his hand pressed to his abdomen, Bruce hurriedly got into the passenger seat, pulled his arm away, and looked at the wound.

There was a very large cut three centimeters under the last rib on his left side, and he was not sure if he had hurt his internal organs, Jason gritted his teeth and said intermittently: "I was not skilled in this job for the first time, and when I stepped on the carpet, I left footprints and ran into a hard stubble, but fortunately he didn't have a gun, and when I dodged, I was injured a little......

Bruce didn't say anything, he took off his coat, tied it around Jason's waist, told him to press on the wound, and then tried to get out of the car to find a first aid kit.

"No, don't leave me ......here," Jason gasped, "lift me ...... Carry me back to the cellar and let me go home...... Someone there can save me and let me go home......

Bruce's hand clenched the door handle instantly, and he hesitated, but turned around and picked Jason out.

Holding Jason, covered in blood, Bruce slowly walked into the dark night of Gotham, followed by a storm sweeping along the waves.
