Jason never imagined in his life that he would feel fear for someone's high moral level.

It is true that in the eyes of ordinary people, the responsibility between parents and children is about half and half when a child runs away from home without a phone and is kidnapped, and the parents are slightly higher, but they should also refer to their daily performance.

Batman and Jason's performance on weekdays is not good enough, the father is not the father, the son is not the son, there is a small quarrel in three days, and a big quarrel in five days, so if you really want to talk about this matter, both parties are responsible.

And Jason asked himself, he resented more that Batman controlled the whole of Gotham, but he didn't find him for a year.

It's hard not to suspect that Batman didn't actually go to him at all.

Jason thinks the same way, you have installed surveillance on every street and corner of Gotham, and there is no time when you can't grasp the whereabouts of criminals clearly, but you didn't find them this time, how could it be such a coincidence?

What's even more infuriating is that it doesn't matter if it is not found, it doesn't take long for a new Robin to come out, which confirms that Batman actually didn't look for him at all?

People will always drill the tip of the horns when they drill the horns, and the pain will make the mind run wildly in the direction of paranoia, and if a problem is thought about too many times, there will not be too many geographical solutions to it, so the Arkham Knight will be born.

But after that long night, and even more with Schiller, Jason's sanity has regained and he can naturally find more solutions to this problem.

For example, it was not another criminal who kidnapped him, but the Joker, and Robin all admit that the person who knows Batman in the world is the Joker, and since he knows best, there are many ways to make Batman never find something.

And if you think about it optimistically, maybe it was Batman who was looking for him and fighting crime at the same time, so he was too busy to find a new assistant.

Maybe you can also think that the guy named Tim Drake is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and even if he hadn't been kidnapped, he would have squeezed in.

Before that, Jason didn't know if he was comforting himself with this thought, but after seeing the extremely deep and long wound on Batman's arm, which was obviously cut by himself, Jason didn't believe it.

At least this shows that Batman must have tried to find him, and even for not finding this matter, Batman is even more unbelievable than himself, and even worse, this matter may have nothing to do with Jason, Batman, who is always prepared and planned, has begun to doubt his ability.

So Jason began to feel shaken, but people's emotional transitions need a buffer period, and it is impossible for him to forgive Batman as soon as he learned about Batman's self-harm, and the fact that they have no disagreement on this matter does not mean that their long-standing conflict does not exist.

Well, now Jason knows that he has to say it if he doesn't say it, because looking at this posture, he can't let Clark go if he doesn't say it, and based on what he knows about Clark's power just now, Jason feels that escaping is also a dead end.

"Help." He mentally said to the symbiote, "Don't let him read my brain waves and heart rate, you can help me control it, right?" ”

"Really? Are you really going to do that? ”

Jason was stunned for a moment by the symbiote's question, but he quickly understood what the symbiote meant.

If this mysterious alien creature is indeed bent on the host, then he may indeed object, because Jason's grudge against Batman is not fake.

To some extent, the situation is really as Clark said, compared to Batman, Jason is a vulnerable group, Jason can't do anything to Batman, even if he wears the armor of Arkham Knight, doesn't he also fail to do him any harm?

If so, telling a powerful being who is impartial and objective may be able to get the justice he wants, which is in line with Jason's long-standing demands.

But obviously, Jason was reluctant to do so.

Then he began to think about why he didn't want to, and the person in front of him wouldn't kill Batman, wouldn't it be good to give him a little bit of power?

Jason thought about it, and there was only one sentence left in the originally smart and bright little brain - I am not happy.

But his hesitant and silent gesture made Clark's face heavier and heavier, and in the end his fists clenched, as if he had been injured more seriously than Jason.

"I'll ask you one more question." Clark took a deep breath and said, "You just have to answer yes or no, Jason Todd, you know you have to answer." ”

"Just ask." Jason absentmindedly said that as long as he didn't talk to the lie detector about him and Batman.

"Have you ever received hug threats about your relationship with Batman or something similar?"

This time Jason was smart, and he said to the symbiote in his heart in advance: "Hurry up, adjust my heart rate and brain waves, what else should be adjusted, hurry up and adjust it!"

The symbiote agreed, and then did so, and Jason cleared his throat and said, "Of course not. ”

Clark was about to breathe a sigh of relief, and then as if he felt something, he stared at Jason in disbelief.

As the look of surprise on his face grew thicker and thicker, Clark's expression gradually turned to disbelief, he stood up suddenly, stared at Jason's face and said, "He won't install any anti-polygraph device in your body?!! ”

Jason was a little dazed.

Clarke, however, still stood in disbelief as if he was repeatedly confirming something.

But Jason had no idea what he was confirming or how he was doing it, so he couldn't instruct the symbiote on what to do to counter it.

Clark's face grew colder, he took a deep breath, sat down and looked at Jason again, and said, "I know that humans can't notice changes in their own brain waves and heart rate, but it's through this change that I confirm if they're telling the truth." ”

"In fact, I can even see directly how your heart and brain work, and the slightest change in them can't escape my eyes."

"But you know what? Jason, when I asked this question and you answered in the negative, your heart rate and brain waves never changed at all, as if they were some kind of rigorous machine, but the human body doesn't work that way. ”

Oh no, Jason immediately realized that he was clever but was mistaken by cleverness, in fact, he was afraid that he could have said a negative answer uncontrollably, and still made Clark believe it.

After all, although Batman expressed his reluctance to let outsiders know about the affairs of the Bat family, he really did not emphasize to any Robin that they could not talk about their relationship with Batman.

So if Jason denies it, he is actually telling the truth, if this lie detector has a way to judge, this level will be passed.

But he didn't, his previous crankiness interfered with his rational judgment, or maybe he also inherited some of Batman's suspicious personality, and he didn't like others to test his polygraph very much, so he recklessly let the symbiote adjust his physiological state without understanding the principle of Clarke's polygraph.

I'm afraid it's really unnatural, Jason thought, unlike before, in the basement of the desert island cabin, Jason has personally touched the beating heart alive, and the human heart rate is not an average beat counter, more or less there will be some irregularities, it would be strange to change it to a full one without being detected.

Jason didn't grasp the true meaning of "you don't have to explain" when something develops, don't try to explain it anymore, and once it reaches the stage of "we all understand", don't say anything more, playing dead is the best choice.

It's a pity that he doesn't often experience such things, and mistakenly thinks that the reporter opposite is quite understanding, so he said: "This thing is not what you think, there was indeed an accident before, but that ......"

"Do you know what is called the party recusal system?" Clark interrupted him and asked.

Jason shook his head blankly, he is a native of Gotham, and his relationship with the law is like the most familiar stranger, familiar means that he hovers on the bottom line of the law every day, and strange means that he doesn't understand the law at all.

Clark gestured with his hands and said, "In many kidnapping cases, the judge and the jury do not accept the testimony of the abductee, because the victim may have been in the process of long-term mental abuse or brainwashing, and has no clear understanding of the criminal behavior inflicted on them by the perpetrator, and subjectively lowered the description of harmfulness." ”

"Of course, I know that if you keep talking, you might say, you're just arguing."

Jason opened his mouth for a moment, he wanted to say that it was exactly the case, but it was a pity that even if he spoke for a short time in the bat family, he still did not have any ability to steal others, let alone reporters, and he was still a reporter in the Metropolis.

"Yes, you may have just had a fight, so what's the matter with the injury to your eye? Do you still have to say, 'It's normal to fight, who hasn't been in a fight?' ’？ ”

Clark was simply distressed, saying, "This is a manifestation of subjectivity to reduce the description of harmfulness, to rationalize and normalize certain acts of bullying and even abuse." ”

"It's true that everyone has had conflicts with others to a greater or lesser extent in the process of growing up, and some of them have evolved into physical conflicts, but most of them happen to people of the same age or power level."

"I'll give you an example, if you have a fight with your classmates and it ends up in a fight, then I don't think it needs to be tried by law, because your physical and mental development, your actual age and social status are relatively equal."

"The consequences of the beating are almost the same for the two of you, you may get hurt, you may be scolded by the teacher, you may drop out of school."

"But if none of the above conditions are equal, and the consequences of the fight are different – he will not be physically and psychologically harmed, he will be cared for better than you after the injury, his reputation in front of others will not be affected in any way, and you will only suffer the harm unilaterally, then this is abuse."

Jason opened his mouth for a moment, and he found himself unable to refute.

If you think about it carefully, he did suffer more consequences than Batman in the matter of quarreling with Batman, of course, the most recently he was kidnapped by the Joker.

It is true that he kidnapped because he ran away from home, but the place where they quarreled was the Batcave, and you knew by listening to it that it was Batman's territory, so would he still be able to die if he didn't leave?

Jason felt a little depressed, but he couldn't tell where this frustration came from, maybe it was because his mental state had recovered a little, and some emotions were revealed.

Just then, a hand pressed on his shoulder, and Jason looked up to find Clark looking at him intently.

"Don't be sad, Jason, I'm not trying to criticize you, it's someone else who is wrong, I just want you to realize that maybe something you've been believing to be true for a long time is unreasonable and abnormal."

"Or after I remind you, you can at least be diligent in thinking about what is not going to be right, instead of numbly letting it happen, and then you passively accept it...... That would hurt you very much. ”

Jason turned his head away from Clark's blue eyes, and he was definitely saying the word "help" in his heart.

Damn, the sun was out before dawn, that was Jason's last thought before he was knocked unconscious.

Sunburned
