Chapter 1145: The Professor (8)

Bruce came and went in a hurry.

It turns out that even if Batman has a heart to live a less serious life, all kinds of bad things will keep him busy.

Now, he had to go home and look through all sorts of psychological tomes for the traces of these natural psychopaths.

Ignoring Schiller's confused expression as he left, Bruce hurried back to Wayne Manor and went to the library to start looking for books that might have clues.

Bruce, who is determined to have a certain goal, has a strong ability to move, his figure shuttles back and forth between the bookshelves, sometimes stroking the books with his hands, checking the names of the books, sometimes carrying a ladder, taking down the top books, and occasionally half-kneeling on the ground, sorting out the books he has selected from the shelves.

Between the two rows of tall bookshelves, a stack of books that were about to reach the ceiling staggered by, and if you hadn't seen the two hands under the stack, you would have thought that the library was haunted.

Bruce took so many books in one breath that he had to shake his body from side to side to keep his balance, and just as he slid left to stabilize the collapsed book tower, Bruce stood there and sighed, instinctively shouting "Dick"

And after blurting out the name, Bruce's expression stiffened, he pursed his mouth into a straight line, and didn't bother with the collapsed book tower, looking at the books scattered all over the ground, Bruce sighed softly.

Just when Bruce was squatting on the ground and picking up the book, a series of footsteps came from the stairwell, and Jason, who was holding Aisha, ran up with a "poof", and when he saw the mess of books on the floor, he screamed, hurriedly put Aisha down, and ran over to help Bruce clean up.

"Mr. Wayne, what's going on? Did the bookshelves collapse? Did it hit you? Are you alright?" Jason asked quickly.

Bruce paused as he picked up a book, and he turned his head to look at Jason, who must have been running all the way all the way over, his cheeks red and his hair still steaming.

Jason Todd was always so active and quick, so energetic, he didn't seem to get tired at all, he was literally a collection of all the children of Gotham, moving like a rabbit, intelligent and sharp, with a characteristic wildness.

Thinking of this, Bruce thought of Dick again, Dick is not from Gotham, he is from Bruce Haven, he is more like a small-town youth on the farm, compared to Jason, Dick's personality is quieter, and even a little melancholy.

But Bruce also knows why, a shadow has always hung over the heads of the Grayson family, the death of Dick's grandfather, the Grayson family acrobatic troupe fell from the top position in the world, Dick has always wanted to find out about his grandfather's wrongs, so that the Grayson family can regain its glory.

Of course, Bruce didn't think of using the power of the Wayne Group to help him investigate, but Dick showed unparalleled stubbornness in this regard, he resolutely didn't need Bruce's help, and even hated anyone meddling in this matter, and now, it has developed to the point where he can't even mention it and can't ask it.

Just two days ago, Jason and Dick had a quarrel, Jason heard that the Dick family actually had such an unjust case, and immediately wanted to help him investigate, but Dick found out about his actions and felt very angry, saying that Jason was nosy and didn't trust his abilities.

However, Jason is the king of children on the streets of Gotham, and the most important thing for the children is righteousness, if you have helped me, the next time you encounter any difficulties, I must do my best to help you, otherwise, it is a white-eyed wolf who does not pay attention to righteousness.

Jason felt that Dick's reaction was to look down on him, and the two had a big fight, making their faces red and their necks thick, if it wasn't for the fact that Aisha started crying in the end, which alarmed Alfred, the two might have done it directly.

Remembering this, Bruce didn't continue to pack up the books on the ground, but sat cross-legged on the ground, took a book and started reading, and then, as if casually, asked Jason, "Are you still angry with Dick?"

Jason snorted, waved his hand and said, "I'm too lazy to bother with him, he's not a native of Gotham, and he's like that of outsiders."

Bruce watched Jason's every move and felt a little wonderful, in fact, Jason was the best learner of all the children Bruce knew, or rather, the best liberal arts student.

No matter how difficult and obscure the words are, he can easily memorize them, and he is often philosophical, and his literary imagination is rich

However, his background gave him a wildness that did not match the temperament of a literati, and sometimes even seemed a little barbaric, and his speech and wording had nothing to do with the literary temperament.

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

"He's a little weird to say, but maybe I'm a little weird." Jason also sat down, picked up a book, flipped through it with one hand, propped it on his knee with the other and said:

"Gotham is all weirdos, right? Outsiders come to us and look out of place, and everyone here, even the rich kids, never show weakness to others, and Dick is the gentlest man I've ever met. ”

Speaking of this, Jason seemed to remember something interesting, he laughed, and then said, "When we quarreled, he didn't even swear words, and even, I was very shocked when I scolded him for swearing."

After speaking, he raised his eyes and looked at Bruce and said, "The professor told me to speak tactfully to the elders, and I finished the tactful part, can I tell the truth directly now?"

Bruce touched his head helplessly, Jason scratched his head, and said: "Dick never seems to have been integrated into Gotham, he is always at home and at school, and the people he knows, except for these people in Wayne Manor, are the rich kids in the expensive private schools."

"But I can't just let him go into Gotham like this." Bruce sighed softly and said, "He's different from Xu, he's far from being prepared to face this 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, when 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 the life that normal people should live."

Jason paused, then nodded and said, "You're right, if he's just here to go to school, there's really no need to be exposed to those dark things."

"Gotham itself is abnormal, all the social rules he learned here, after leaving here, they don't apply, and it is possible that it will leave a huge psychological shadow on him, so it's okay not to learn."

Bruce hugged Aisha over to stop her from nibbling on the book, and while stroking Aisha's head, he said, "Dick is lucky to have a complete family, so there is no need to live the same life as the unfortunate people."

"But he doesn't seem to understand it." Jason gently touched the side of his sideburns again and said, "But I can't explain it to him, it seems like he looks like an outsider, but it's clear that I'm an outsider."

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

Jason sighed deeply and said, "He looks like he's envious of me, my God! Doesn't the daily life of finding food in the garbage dump dissuade him from his passion for the city?!"

"I told Dick a lot of stories about how we struggled to survive, but his attention seemed to be only on the exciting, intense shootouts, the battle of wits with criminals, or the crime of stealing tires from other people's cars."

"Those things that were dizzy from hunger, shivering from the cold, bleeding and almost dying, he didn't care at all, or maybe he hadn't experienced it, so he didn't think it was a big deal."

At this point, Bruce had nothing to say, and Dick completely retraced his path.

A rich child who has lived a prosperous life since childhood, even if he is interested in the life at the bottom, is only interested in the parts of violence and excitement that they have not been exposed to, as for the part of starvation and cold, as long as they have not experienced it personally, they don't know how uncomfortable it is.

Although Dick is not as rich as Bruce Wayne, when he was young, the Grayson family was still a famous circus in the United States, with praise and applause everywhere he went, and he was brought up by his grandfather, and the old man and the children were always extra doting, compared with these children in Gotham, Dick can be said to have grown up in a honey pot.

As a result, Bruce encountered a problem that parents all over the world would encounter, and he wanted Dick to recognize the reality, but he was afraid that he would be hurt by the reality.

Thinking of this, Bruce admonished himself that he must be patient, this kind of thing cannot be done in a day or two, but fortunately, Dick is not very old, and there should be a long time before he finishes all the courses, which is enough for him to grow.

But on second thought, Bruce realized that he had another problem, if he was going to fight these natural killers, he needed an assistant, at least for now, he needed someone to help him organize the books and materials.

In the past, Dick did this kind of work, but recently, Dick would rather stay at school than go home, so Bruce set his eyes on Jason, he thought about it, and then said, "I think, the two of us are the same kind of people, we both grew up in Gotham, and now, there is a group of extremely vicious criminals who want to deal with me, I hope to be able to get help, Jason, would you like to help me look up the information?"

Jason opened his mouth for a moment, he leaned out and looked Bruce from head to toe as if he didn't know him, and then, with his mouth wide open, he said in surprise, "Oh my God! Are you really Batman? You're going to be able to talk well!"

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

"I just forgot to say that the most similar thing about us is...... Have the same professor. ”
