After a while, Jason helped Bruce put away all the books on the floor, Bruce read the books behind the desk, and Jason helped him find the relevant books, and then, marked the chapters in the table of contents that might have clues.

Jason was intently looking at the catalog, when suddenly, he noticed a black shadow cast on the table, and when he turned around, he saw Dick.

"Oh my God, why are you walking silently? Oh, I forgot, you're an acrobat. Jason was taken aback by him, and just as he wanted to make a joke and lighten the mood, he noticed that Dick's face was very bad.

"yes, I'm an acrobat and I don't know anything but performing acrobatics, especially not helping Bruce sort things out!" After saying that, Dick turned and walked away, and Jason immediately jumped out of his chair, grabbed him and said, "What the hell is wrong with you?" How is it weird? What exactly is there to be angry about? If you want to do this, we can do it together. ”

Dick shook off Jason's hand, looked at him angrily and said, "You can do all the work alone, what else do you want me to do?" If Bruce had thought I was useful, he wouldn't have come to you!"

Jason sighed, and as soon as he wanted to explain, Dick walked up the stairs, and Jason rushed to him, stopped him, and said to him, "Bruce came to me because he was afraid that he would be in danger when he went out for a night trip."

"So you live in Gotham and never go out at night?" Dick was even angrier, his face flushed, and he raised his voice and said, "You are younger than me, you have never been in danger, why, I can't go out alone?!"

"That's not the case, Dick, you just, you don't know the terrain of Gotham, it's easy to get lost, that's why we're here"

"Then I'll never go out, I'll never be familiar with the terrain!"

"Then you can go out and walk around during the day."

"But I still have classes during the day!"

Jason looked at Dick with some helplessness, the current Dick, obviously wants everything, wants cultural achievements, wants martial arts skills, and wants to be familiar with Gotham, he wants to prove his independence, and he wants Bruce's recognition, which can be said to be a very typical performance of a child in an emotionally sensitive period.

At this time, Bruce, who heard the movement, came over and found that the two were arguing again, and he also felt a little headache.

Bruce wanted to ask about the cause and effect of the matter, but he didn't know who to ask first, and looking at the current situation, no matter who he asked first, it might provoke another person.

Fortunately, at this time, Alfred walked over, Dick glared at Jason, and hurried away, and before leaving, he threw down a sentence: "I'm back at school, and I'm not coming back this week."

Bruce looked at his back and shook his head helplessly, and now, the most difficult thing to deal with was that Dick didn't seem to want to communicate with him at all.

Adolescent children, the emotional changes are always inscrutable, their emotional outbursts, there is no node that can be remembered, Bruce doesn't know when, Dick began to make trouble.

Although caring and communication is the best solution, the difficulty is that children at this stage are not willing to communicate, they feel that listening to their parents is completely unassertive, and even, talking to their parents, they are losing.

Now, the three children living in Wayne Manor, at different ages, have gone through the initial chaotic period, and Aisha has improved a lot and become a cute human cub in the public perception, although a little clingy, but still can make people feel the joy of being a parent.

Jason was at his most actionable, energetic, like to play crazy, and had little time to think about it, the only thing that made people feel a little tired was that his energy was too much, and in less than two hours, he was almost drowning Bruce after he had checked and marked the book.

Moreover, Jason also stared at Bruce with a sparkling look of expectation, hoping that the fruits of his labor would be rewarded, and besides, it was useless for a child who was good at reading to praise him for a few words, and Bruce felt that Jason might be hopeful,) that he would finish all the books tonight.

Dick, on the other hand, has become very emotionally sensitive, Jason's appearance has given him a great sense of crisis, the more he has a sense of crisis, the more he wants to step into Gotham, but the more specific his actions are, the more worried Bruce is, and the more he will find a way to stop him, which will cause Dick to be more unhappy.

After Batman finally learns some communication skills, Dick begins to refuse to communicate, and Bruce knows that he still has to go on the night watch tonight, not to fight criminals, but to stop Dick from continuing to wander around.

After nightfall, Batman reappeared on the roof of Wayne Tower, he stood on the top of Gotham and looked down, and soon, he found a dark shadow jumping on the roof of Gotham building.

Batman swooped down, and sure enough, he saw Dick running on the roof of the building, Dick had already seen Batman flying over with a glider, but he didn't mean to stop at all, but accelerated and continued to run, even jumping high, over the gap between the two buildings.

This is a very dangerous move, because if you don't jump far enough, you will definitely fall to pieces.

In an instant, Batman gathered his cloak and stopped in front of Dick, under the light of the streetlights reflected from the glass curtain wall of the building, he looked at Dick and said, "Go back, Dick."

Dick pursed his lips and stared at Batman, not wanting to back down at all, his face was stubborn, and soon, his eyes showed a trace of sadness, he looked at Batman and said: "I don't just want to learn some fighting skills from you, I also want to help you and help you accomplish your great career, why do you always reject me?!"

"I didn't." Batman looked at Dick and said, "It's just that you should know how dangerous this city is."

"I'm not afraid!"

"But I'm afraid."

The sadness in Dick's eyes turned to shock, he didn't expect Batman to say this, so the psychological defense line he had built for himself all afternoon, like a city wall, collapsed in an instant, he looked at Batman very aggrieved, and said in a crying voice:

"You are optimistic about Jason, just because, he is more like you, and besides, he can be adopted by you, and he will be your good helper, so why don't you consider me? I'm not old enough to finish my studies, isn't Jason?!"

"Dick ......" Batman called his name softly, but instead of looking at him, he tilted to the ground in front of him and said: "Everyone who is involved in the dark vortex cannot escape with their whole body, and this city really doesn't need an orphan anymore."

Dick clenched his fists tightly, and he shouted, "I'm not a drag from you, I don't need your protection, I'll prove it to you!"

After shouting, he turned around and ran, Batman took a step, trying to continue to catch up, but Dick's mood had obviously collapsed, if Batman chased him like a prey again, it would definitely put more pressure on him.

If there is anything that Batman has learned from the mutual torture with Schiller in the past few years, it is how to learn to put the most pressure on people like this professor, and how to operate in reverse to avoid pressure on people.

Soon, however, Batman had to chase in the direction of Dick's escape again, because there was a scream in the street about two or three buildings away.

Dick didn't think about it after hearing the scream, he turned and ran, and Batman behind him, almost at the same time as him, arrived at the scene of the incident, and as soon as he landed, he saw a dark figure raising a dagger at the man in the alley.

With two "whoosh" sounds, two batarang pierced the air and hit the black shadow's body at an extremely fast speed, but the scene of blood splashing as imagined did not appear.

The moment the light on the bat's belt shone on the black shadow, Dick let out a frightened scream, took two steps back, and fell to the ground.

Even Batman stared, because the appearance of that black shadow was really terrifying.

It didn't look like a person, but a life-size doll, and it was one of those simulated movable joint dolls.

But what is even more terrifying is that the limbs of the puppets that are separated and then joined together by ball joints are not plastic or metal, but human limbs.

And it can be seen that the limbs on this horror doll are not from a person.

The two legs are supposed to be from a woman, fair and slender, wearing high heels, the left arm is muscular, and there are tattoos, which look like they are from a gangster, and the right arm, which is much shorter than the other limbs, is supposed to be from a child.

The head of this doll is a young man, and he still wears glasses, but his face is painted with horrible doll makeup, and he also wears a wig that has been crooked.

His lips were completely shaved off and replaced with a Barbie-like plastic augmentation, the upper and lower lips were sewn together with wire, one eyeball was replaced with a doll's prosthetic eye, and the other eyeball, revealing deep horror and pleading.

The moment Batman appeared, the doll seemed to lose control and fell to the ground, but Batman didn't check on him for the first time, but helped Dick to the wall, patted Dick's back who was retching, and sprayed him with some tranquilizer spray.

Dick's face turned pale, because the impact of the scene just now was too great, and he saw the details of this monster without any preparation at all.

It was a living person who had been made into a puppet, and the congealed blood, the broken skin, and the frightened look were all clear.

Perhaps, many people who have seen the scene of the accident know that the most impactful thing is not the picture, but the picture with the strong smell, and even, some people can hear the subtle sound of blood erupting.

The scene, surrounded by all kinds of senses, will involuntarily remind people of how terrifying it would be if tragedy happened to them.

This kind of association will directly penetrate people's psychological defenses, making people feel extremely afraid and disgusting, and Dick is now

Dick was in a state of panic all the time, not even using the tranquilizer spray, and after the panic, he began to get angry again, and then became violent, trying to break free of Batman, Batman could only stretch out his arms and hug him.

He kept patting Dick on the back and said to him, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here."

After a while, Dick finally quieted down, he began to tremble and cry again, and Batman almost instinctively grasped his current state of mind, so he patted him on the back and said, "I know, it's scary, I just broke out in a cold sweat, and my shirt is soaked."

Dick's crying subsided slightly, and Batman continued, "Anyone who sees such a brutal scene for the first time will feel scared, you are not weak."

After crying for a while, Dick finally calmed down, he sniffed, wiped his tears, looked at Batman and said, "Go over and see, he seems to be going to kill someone." in haste

After making sure Dick was okay, Batman let go of him and walked towards the terrifying puppet, but before he could walk over, a small black shadow came out from behind the trash can at the end of the alley, and shouted at Batman, "You're Batman, right?" You must be the big hero Batman!"

Batman was stunned for a moment, the big hero Batman? He had never heard anyone call him that, and for a long time, Batman had a bad reputation, and people only felt that he was a pervert in tights, and even if he turned it around a little now, he would definitely not be a big hero.

When the light on the bat's belt shone through, the figure blocked his eyes with his hand, as if stimulated by the light.

But soon he rushed to the doll's side, helped the other man who had fallen to the ground, and said, "Oh my God, Uncle Verati, you almost got attacked by a horror doll!"

After the man who fell to the ground stood up, Batman realized that it was a chubby middle-aged man, who looked good-looking, and the clothes he was wearing were of very ordinary fabric, but he was holding the keys to a luxury car in his hand, and he looked like he should be the driver.

The chubby Verati clutched his chest, as if he hadn't reacted a little, and after seeing the terrifying doll on the ground, he let out a piercing scream, rolled his eyes, and began to fall to the ground.

"Batman! Help Uncle Verati! He's my dad's driver and he's coming to pick me up from school!"

It was only then that Batman could see the appearance of this little black shadow, a little boy with short black hair and blue-green eyes, and there was no frightened expression on his face, on the contrary, he looked a little excited.

He rushed directly to Batman, and then, reaching out to pull his cloak, although Batman dodged it, he still said quickly:

"OMG! I really didn't expect that! I'm going to meet my idol Batman here! You must sign me, I've adored you for a long time! I know, you're a big hero, and you really saved me this time, and I know that I'm not wrong!"

This passage was said by looking at Batman with expectant eyes, but then, he clenched his fists and looked at the ground, and said while stomping his feet: "I knew that I would definitely meet Batman!" I knew he was as handsome as I thought he was!!"

As soon as Batman opened his mouth to say something, the little boy ran a little farther away, looked at Batman and said, "Oh, yes, you can take me home so that I can treat you to supper."

"Look at me, I forgot to introduce myself! My dad is that famous right-hand drive Drake, I'm little Drake, you can call me Tim Drake!"
