4 Chapter IV
Of course, no one believed that Theodore was actually buying. Spring.
But in the middle of the night, his classmates were in an uninhabited alley, holding cans and threatening others...... No matter how this sounds, it sounds like a criminal reserve.
Plus the classic quote "it's just a joke......
Tim: It's moving, it's moving, it's moving, it's moving.
"Sounds like a bit of a green-haired shadow, doesn't it?"
Robin Bird pouted.
Yes, he discovered from the first day of school that Theodore's handsome silhouette may have something in common with Superman.
But whenever Theodore Green lowered his head, a gloomy expression appeared on his face, and when viewed from a fixed angle, his demeanor would be very shakyβ
Joseph Cole.
The name sounds unfamiliar.
But after falling into the chemical process of the chemical factory, he becomes a green-haired, blood-red lip weirdo who is known to everyone in Gotham and is known for his neurosis.
- Joker.
"I told you, B, I thought Theodore was being bullied at school."
So I went to some of the more famous school bullies in the school and talked to them. And guess what? β
As soon as the school bullies heard his name, their expressions changed drastically, and several of them rushed into the toilet and vomited frantically. In the end, only one person was willing to describe to me what happened to him and Theodore. β
He said his head was constantly being pushed into the dry ice bucket, and Theodore kept comforting him the whole time: 'Hey, why not take it easy?' We're just ......'"
Batman turned his head sharply.
βββ¦β¦ Make a game. βword for word, that's what the guy told me. β
Greeting the elder's gaze, Tim spread his hands.
"The high concentration of carbon dioxide after sublimation of dry ice in the laboratory and a sealed plastic bucket brings about a suffocating sensation similar to waterboarding, but it does less damage to the lungs than waterboarding. If judged by the standards of interrogation, this is really just a 'game'. β
Batman calmly pointed out the problem: "The group of people you are talking about, what were they originally going to do to Theodore?" β
"Sounds like they had a plan for how to get Theodore's head down the toilet."
"So Theodore is still measured in comparisonβI really want to say that to you."
Tim shrugged his shoulders: "If that night, he didn't use the ghost card drawing method to pick the next person to play the 'mini-game', again and again. β
"......" Batman's jaw tensed.
Teenagers who bully their classmates on campus are, of course, a bunch of natural scum.
But being able to press the head of the school bully into the dry ice bucket over and over again, and increase the psychological pressure of the other party by drawing ghost cards, is undoubtedly a sober and polite cruelty.
Tim sighed and hit enter on the bat computer.
In the next second, a half-length photo of Theodore when he entered school was presented on the computer screen.
"Who do you think he looks like just like that?"
Tim took two steps back, pinched his chin and looked at it for a moment, then suddenly his voice rose first, and he let out a suspicious exclamation: "Riddler? β
In the photo, Sven's cold energy is actually a bit similar to the riddler when he was young.
What the hell.
Batman stops Robin from continuing to associate with it.
If this continues, Theodore's face will be a projection of the whole of Arkham.
Batman takes over the computer, pulls up tonight's surveillance, focuses on the face of the lady who is being held up by the can, and zooms in.
"Lina Witt." Tim leaned over and read out the information on his computer.
"There is no criminal record of her in the database, and judging from the trajectory of her life, she is completely an ordinary person. She has a mother who is suffering from a blood disorder and is being treated...... Oh, she's usually in contact with the Big Bad Wolves. β
Tim raised his head: "I remember this big bad wolf gang, a small gang on the eighteenth line, the destructive power is not high, and the main business is ......"
"Anonymous delivery."
"Yes." Tim thought for a moment, "BAT, what do you think is the chance that Theodore wants to send an anonymous letter tonight?" β
***
If he could travel back in time, Tim would have to go back to the night before, hold his shoulder, and tell himself:
One hundred percent!
Theodore wants to send an anonymous letter, 100% likely!
But now, all he can do is have a wooden face, a small blanket draped over his body, a steaming cup of coffee in front of him, and a kind-looking psychiatrist on the other side of the coffee.
"Is there anything you'd like to say, kid?"
"I have." Tim asked, "So, someone sent an anonymous letter to report Bruce for abusing me, right?" β
"Honey, you've asked this question three times."
The psychiatrist looked at him with pity: "Did you know that repeated compulsive questioning is also one of the manifestations of post-traumatic stress. β
Tim: "......"
Tim closed his eyes, not wanting to open them.
- Family, who would have thought.
The anonymous letter went around and around and eventually sent to the Gotham Child Protection Society, where Theodore backhanded Bruce's nest.
The poor little child who was abused turned out to be Tim himself!
Linked to Theodore's slight resemblance to the Joker...... The level of black humor of the whole thing is almost overflowing.
The whole thing is full of slots.
And just sort out the whole process: about how rugged Theodore was, all kinds of gray methods of stepping on the line, and finally making this anonymous report, Tim is eager to pry his head open.
What a reasonable and respectful way of doing things with justice!
It's like the Joker saying to Batman one day, "Hey, little bat, I have a plan to destroy you completely."
Just as Batman was raising his vigilance, the next morning, he received a shocking news -
The clown united with 1,000 netizens to report with their real names and accuse Wayne Group of tax evasion!
It can be said that the two are about the same in terms of feeling!!
In the steaming aroma of instant coffee, Tim felt a slight trance.
After a few days, he finally realized what it meant to talk about "patience" and "gain an inch" in front of the sink that day.
It wasn't Theodore sending a subtle distress signal to himself.
Theodore thought he was sending him a subtle distress signal!
Tim: "......"
I don't want to go back to that bathroom full of black history.
Otherwise, the Wayne Group will donate money to rebuild a new school building for the school.
However, Robin Bird's extraordinary courage lies in the fact that he does not escape reality.
Opening his eyes, Tim smiled softly and spoke firmly.
"Whatever the anonymous report says, I don't think you should adopt it."
"Bruce never hurt me. I love martial arts, and I get hurt occasionally while practicing, but that's not about Bruce. β
Although the whole thing is full of all kinds of elements that have nothing to say.
But I have to say that Tim was actually secretly relieved.
It's better for your classmates to report your condition to the Child Protection Society anonymously than to learn that he was wearing clown makeup in the mirror in the middle of the night.
In comparison, even his means of fighting back against the school bully seem so measured and healthy.
At the moment, on the other side of the city, Bruce must be going through a troublesome investigative process.
What can't be ignored is that as a powerless Gotham orphan, Theodore would rather report the CEO of Wayne Group for a classmate who usually doesn't have much intersection.
The courage and courage contained in this are enough to move people.
It is a gray, rainy city that carries countless sins every night.
But there are always countless moments like this that make Tim feel that it is still full of hope.
β¦β¦
When Tim was called out of the classroom, Theodore knew that the letter he had delivered had done its job.
This time, even if Tim himself was afraid to admit it, the people of the association would follow the process and give him a comprehensive physical examination.
He's done everything he can.
Leave the rest to luck, fate, and Bruce's business rivals.
As long as Wayne still has the slightest scruples, Tim won't be in the same situation as before. What's more, unlike Theodore's original situation, Tim's family is well-off and not alone.
Theodore thought as he flipped through the textbook in front of him.
It wasn't until near the end of school that Tim returned to the classroom.
Probably due to some subtle emotional resonance, Theodore felt that he looked in his direction several times.
But Theodore didn't lift his head the whole time.
- It's none of my business, it has nothing to do with me, I don't know why you were called out, the anonymous letter was not written by me.
This aura emanates from him all the time.
Tim: "......"
If it weren't for the coincidence of discovering the clues, who would have seen this!
***
Theodore had thought that this was the end of the matter.
However, to his surprise: on the first day, Wayne's old butler drove to pick up Tim.
The next day, the old housekeeper of the Wayne family drove Tim away.
On the third day, it was still ......
Probably because he was standing relatively close on this day, the personable old man opened the car door and asked Tim to get in the car, seemingly glancing in his direction, intentionally or unconsciously.
ββ¦β¦β
A sense of crisis that arose out of nowhere gradually spread over Theodore's heart.
Judging from the performance, his anonymous delivery letter does seem to have a certain impact.
But correspondingly, the Waynes tightened their grip on Timothy.
To complicate his feelings, Bruce Wayne didn't seem to be affected by the incident.
Every day when Theodore passed by the newsstand on his way to school, he could be seen smiling brightly as he hugged his female companion, which once again occupied the front page of today's newspaper.
A few days later, the Gotham Child Protection Society issued an announcement.
The announcement said that they had received an anonymous complaint letter from a person claiming to be a student from Gotham High School who reported that the classmates in the next class had been abused...... Yunyun.
Theodore: "!! β
is worthy of being the richest man in Gotham, and he can really cover the sky with one hand, right?
What about Bruce Wayne's business rivals? You haven't heard any wind, have you? Give me some strength!
However, it was as if he was not surprised enough about his current state.
At noon on Saturday, Theodore, who had finished his part-time job, returned to the orphanage and put down his school bag.
Just then, Anne next door pushed open the door and poked a head in.
"Hey, Theodore, the dean told us all to go down and meet in the front yard."
Theodore's packing up stopped.
"What for?"
"I heard that a big guy came to visit the courtyard and is going to donate a large sum of money to us?"
At this moment, the sense of foreboding in Theodore's heart finally climbed to its peak.
"That big guy, what's his last name?"
"It seems to be...... Let's take the last name Wayne. β
Theodore: "!! β
Isn't this being approached!!
