7 Chapter VII
Bruce followed the sound and turned around, only to see that the boy named Jason was so frightened that he sat on the butt on the spot, and even the ball in his hand fell to the ground, and after bouncing a few times, he stopped moving.
Jason glanced at Theodore resentfully, and then looked at Bruce Wayne expectantly, as if expecting a rich man to administer justice.
But after two seconds of pause, realizing that Bruce wasn't going to speak, and that Theodore was threateningly baring his canine teeth at him, Jason picked up the ball, turned and ran.
Until Bruce turned his head, Theodore's face still had a fierce threat on his face.
"This boy seems to be afraid of you." Bruce looked at Theodore inquiringly.
"Oh, maybe a little, I've taught him a few lessons." Theodore deliberately pretended to be arrogant, "The little furry boy who is not used to Gotham is like this. ”
Through Bruce's own listening equipment, in the Batcave, Tim couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Hey, aren't you comfortable with Gotham?
Don't talk like you're a local. For the record, you've only been in Gotham for less than two months!
Wayne's nose twitched slightly, and he leaned closer to Theodore with interest.
"How many lessons did you teach him? Can you elaborate on this part? ”
Theodore stared at the man in front of him, looking at his beautiful and handsome face, and his heart once again swelled with a deep disgust like nausea.
As long as you are a Gotham with common sense, you can understand the meaning of Theodore's words.
Even an empty-minded Gotham baby is no exception.
So Wayne didn't understand what Theodore was referring to, he just wanted to hear the details.
The details of the cannibalism, the excesses, the cruelty, the blood and screams. Theodore had no doubt that Wayne enjoyed the taming of every innocent soul, no less than once an intracranial height*.
After identification, this is a purebred pervert.
But it doesn't matter, the question is exactly what Theodore wants.
There was no need to even deliberately disguise, and in front of the broad guy's face that had not suffered hardship, Theodore naturally showed a cruel smile containing malice.
"Of course, Mr. Wayne, I'd love to tell you about it."
"Let's talk about my hobby first, as you just heard, I like to do it in the middle of the night. After all, when everything was silent, everyone was asleep, and even Miss Anna, who was on duty, was not very attentive. I slipped into anyone's door and shut him in the mouth...... Hey, no one cares if I have a few holes in him with a nail or a kitchen knife. ”
So you get what I mean, you perverted rich man?
Theodore thought viciously: If you dare to attack me, if you dare to sleep next to me in the middle of the night...... I'll tear open your whole human skin, cut open your belly, and pull your intestines out like rubber candy!
On the other end of the monitor, Tim held the headphones with a subtle expression.
At the same time, there was a brisk footstep behind him.
A smooth, athletic arm plucks a headset from Tim's left ear and happily shares the Bathouse's special channel.
"Hey, Red." Nightwing greeted his brother familiarly, "I heard from Alfred that Bruce had a visit to the orphanage today. What are you listening to? ”
As soon as the words fell, the aftermath of Theodore's last words rang out in the headphones.
Nightwing: "......"
Dick took off his headphones and shook them twice with some hesitation, as if he suspected that the headphones had entered the water.
"Are all the current late-night horror story shows broadcast during the day?"
Tim didn't want to speak, and pointed to the computer shield, indicating that the Batman channel was opposite.
Nightwing tucked the headphones back into her ears and listened with a frown.
In the orphanage, after listening to Theodore's description, Wayne's expression seemed to be more serious, and his sparkling pupils narrowed.
It's just that before Theodore could breathe a sigh of relief, Bruce threw out the next question.
"Fun imagination, kid. You say you don't like to study, but you should really try to write some essays, and you'll be good at it. ”
What a clumsy agitation.
Hide the question you want to ask the most under the topic and wait for the person who gets the trick to uncover it for yourself.
Theodore deliberately pretended to be a teenager's pride and pressed the table in front of him in annoyance.
"Oh? You don't believe in my abilities. ”
Wayne said with a smile, "I just believe that kids lock their doors when they sleep." ”
"Huh? Do you think I'll be able to take a little lock? ”
Theodore's eyes widened, looking defiantly at Bruce Wayne.
"Give me a pin, a hairpin, a meal card...... Anything goes, and there's no lock in the world that can stump me - what is this most ordinary door lock? I can even open the combination lock of Arkham Mental Hospital! ”
Whether he can do it or not, in short, let the cruel words out first.
In other words, as long as the big guy gets him to his own turf, Theodore will be able to open your lock sooner or later.
Bruce hasn't reacted yet, but in the Batcave, Nightwing has been shaken.
"If I heard it right, this kid is selling himself to Bruce that he can open Arkham's lock."
"He's bragging." Tim said serenely, "I've tried, our school's meal card, and I can't pick Arkham's combination lock. ”
If Theodore really had what he said he was capable of, he would have at least three offers from Arkham villains by now.
Nightwing: "...... Is this the point? ”
Nightwing was deeply moved by Theodore's courage to blow himself up as a werewolf and speak loudly about Batman, and continued to listen intently.
Wayne's body leaned back slightly, as if stunned by the details revealed in Theodore's words.
The momentum was good, and Theodore hurriedly took advantage of the victory to pursue.
"Of course, I don't just do it in the middle of the night. Some of the disobedient guys happen to be at the same school as me, and after school, I invite them to try the dry ice in the lab......"
"It's true."
Tim gestured and explained to Dick on the sidelines: "Sealed rubber bucket + dry ice, Theodore did use this technique against the school bully." ”
Nightwing leaned on his headphones and pitifully patted Tim on the top of his head.
"Oh, Xiaohong, I didn't know that your school was so bad."
"Go away!" Tim smiled and dodged Dick's hand.
Dick: "Let me make sure, Bruce is in the orphanage, right?" ”
"He's in an orphanage."
"And the one he's visiting now...... Boy. Dick pondered his words, "Is this boy's name Tom Riddle?" You've finally found Voldemort's juvenile form? Warner won't send us a lawyer's letter, will it? ”
Tim glanced at his brother speechlessly.
In front of Theodore, Bruce already frowned slightly.
Even if it's just a fictional story, he doesn't really like this kind of over-the-top jokes.
Batman has witnessed too many tragedies in the past, and many times, the joke is just one step away from reality.
Feeling Wayne's disgust, Theodore couldn't help but feel happy.
It's good, he's making great progress.
Next, as long as you add oil and vinegar to describe some things, you can't get rid of this big guy if you don't believe it...... Well?
The next second, a young human girl, like a cannonball that came out of her disembowel, slammed into Theodore's calf.
The human cub grabbed Theodore's calf on all fours.
"Theodore, he snatched my toy !!"
Oh, it's annoying.
Theodore stiffened half of his body and gently removed the girl from his lap, preventing her from wiping tears and snot on his pants.
Stretching out his arms to put the cub a little farther away, Theodore looked at the little boy not far away, his eyes fierce.
"You try one more run, John Green."
Being uttered by an acquaintance has always been a powerful deterrent.
When the name is blurted out against the tip of your teeth, it means that you have been skinned in a cyber sense.
The little boy cowered and stopped.
"Come here, give her back the toys." Theodore licked his canine teeth impatiently, "Don't make me say it a second time. ”
The boy approached with grinding steps, the soles of his shoes scraping against the ground, making an unpleasant noise with each step.
As a senior, Theodore coldly observed the little boy's reaction, as if he was looking in a mirror for his past self.
- Reluctantly, and out of fear forced to submit. That's the reaction those perverts want to see from Theodore.
Fortunately, the little boy in front of him had red hair, green eyes, a huge birthmark on his face, and a long tube of snot dragged under his nose.
There were only a few last steps left, and Theodore didn't have the patience to wait for him to rub off a little, so he directly lifted the man's collar and put the child in front of the little girl.
The little boy reluctantly handed over the bubble gun in his arms.
"Give it back to you."
"Apologize to her." Theodore reminded him coldly.
"I'm sorry." The boy grimaced.
In the next second, the back of his neck was pressed against the palm of a hand.
"Not that kind of apology, John. In so many children, she was willing to play with you and chose to play with you, but you bullied her. If you want to use her bubble gun, swap your teddy bear, get it? ”
The boy shuddered, held his hand to the girl, and whispered an apology: "I'm sorry. I should trade my teddy bear for your bubble gun. ”
"Okay, okay." The little girl choked up and said, "But I don't accept it, you bad fellow." ”
She walked away with a bubble gun wiping away from her tears, and Theodore threw away the boy's collar and rubbed his fingers with his teeth.
"Okay, she won't accept it, you go and play with someone else - take off your shirt tonight and give it to Miss Anna, you guy, you haven't changed your shirt for at least a month, have you?"
Theodore turned his head and noticed that Bruce had disappeared at some point.
This big guy finally retreated?
A lifted heart finally let go, and Theodore stretched his legs and leaned back in his chair in a long sigh of relief.
He said, how could such a life-sparing broad-minded guy risk having his intestines pulled out and enjoy a night of romance?
Now, this is finally over.
Theodore stood up in a good mood, with a pleasant smile on his lips.
However, his ease only lasted until the evening of the same day.
Little did Theodore know that in four hours, he would be confronted with earth-shattering news, no, bad news.
