Chapter 1128

After a while, Jason helped Bruce clean up all the books on the ground. Bruce read books behind the table, Jason helped him find relevant books, and then marked chapters that might have clues in the catalog.

Jason was concentrating on looking at the catalog. Suddenly, he discovered that a black shadow was cast on the table. He turned his head and saw Dick.

"God, why do you walk without sound? Oh, I forgot, you are an acrobat." Jason was startled by him. He just wanted to make a joke to ease the atmosphere, but discovered that Dick's expression was very bad.

"Yes, I am an acrobat. Besides performing acrobatics, I can't do anything, especially not helping Bruce organize materials!" After finishing, Dick turned and left. Jason immediately jumped off the chair, grabbed him, and said: "What's wrong with you? Why are you being sarcastic? What exactly is there to be angry about? If you want to do this work, we two can do it together."

Dick shook off Jason's hand and looked at him angrily, saying: "You alone can finish all the work, what do I need to do? If Bruce felt I was useful, he wouldn't have found you!"

Jason sighed. He just wanted to explain, but Dick walked towards the stairs. Jason rushed in front of him at a fast speed, blocked him, and said to him: "Bruce found me because he was afraid you would encounter danger if you went out for a night tour."

"Then you live in Cat Getan, have you never gone out at night?" Dick was even angrier. He flushed red, raised his tone, and said: "Your age is younger than mine, you haven't encountered danger, why can't I go out alone?!"

"It's not like that, Dick. You just don't understand the terrain of Cat Getan yet, and it's easy to get lost, so we..."

"Then I will never go out, and I will never be familiar with the terrain!"

"Then you can go out for a stroll during the day."

"But I still have classes during the day!"

Jason looked at Dick somewhat helplessly. Now Dick was obviously wanting everything, wanting cultural grades, wanting fighting skills, wanting familiarity with Cat Getan, wanting to prove his independence, and wanting Bruce's approval. It could be said that it was a very typical performance of a child in an emotionally sensitive period.

At this time, Bruce, who heard the movement, walked over and discovered that the two were quarreling again, and he also felt a headache.

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

Fortunately, at this time, Alfred walked over. Dick glared at Jason and ran away in a hurry. Before leaving, he also threw down a sentence: "I'm going back to school, I won't be back this week."

Bruce looked at his back and shook his head somewhat helplessly. Now, the most difficult point to deal with was that Dick seemed not to want to communicate with him at all.

The emotions of children in adolescence are always difficult to figure out. The explosion of their emotions doesn't have any node that can be remembered. Bruce didn't know when Dick started to be awkward.

Although care and communication are the best solutions, the difficulty lies in the fact that children in this period are not willing to communicate. They feel that listening to parents is having no opinion at all, and even that talking to parents is losing.

Now, the three children living in Wei En Manor are in different age stages. After passing the initial chaotic period, Aisha has improved a lot and has become a cute human cub in the public's cognition. Although she is a bit clingy, she can still make people feel the happiness of being a parent.

Jason is in the period with the strongest action ability, full of energy, likes to play wildly, and basically doesn't have time to think much. The only thing that makes people feel a bit tired is that his energy is too abundant. In less than two hours, the books he checked and marked almost drowned Bruce.

Moreover, Jason also stared at Bruce with a shining look full of expectation, hoping that his labor results could get feedback. And, for a child who is good at reading, just praising him twice is useless. Bruce felt that Jason might hope he would finish all the books tonight.

And Dick is very sensitive in emotion. Jason's appearance gave him a huge sense of crisis. The more sense of crisis he has, the more he wants to step into Cat Getan. But the more specific his actions are, the more worried Bruce is, and the more he will find ways to stop him, which will lead to Dick being more unhappy.

After Batman finally learned some communication skills, Dick began to refuse to communicate. Bruce knew he still had to go on a night patrol tonight, not to fight criminals, but to stop Dick from wandering around.

After night fell, Batman appeared on the roof of Wei En Tower again. He stood at the highest point of Cat Getan and overlooked. Soon, he discovered a black shadow jumping on the roof of Cat Getan's buildings.

Batman dived down. Sure enough, he saw Dick running on the roof. Dick had already seen Batman flying over with a glider, but he didn't have any intention of stopping at all, but accelerated to continue running forward, and even jumped high, crossing the gap between two buildings.

This was a very dangerous action, because once the jumping distance wasn't enough, he would definitely fall to pieces.

Instantly, Batman folded his cloak and stopped in front of Dick. Under the street lamp light reflected by 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 retreat at all. His face was full of stubborn expressions. Soon, his eyes revealed 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, help you complete your great cause. Why do you always exclude me?!"

"I didn't." Batman looked at Dick and said: "It's just that you should be clear about how dangerous this city is."

"I'm not afraid!"

"But I am."

The sadness in Dick's eyes turned into shock. He didn't expect Batman to say this. So, he used a whole afternoon to build his psychological defense line, which was like a city wall, and it collapsed instantly. He looked at Batman very aggrievedly, using a voice with a crying tone:

"You look after Jason, nothing more than because he is more like you, and he can be adopted by you. He will become your good helper. Then why don't you consider me? I'm not old enough, haven't finished school, isn't Jason the same?!"

"Dick..." Batman called his name gently, but didn't look at him, but was looking at the ground diagonally in front of him: "Everyone who is involved in the dark vortex cannot retreat completely, and this city really doesn't need another orphan."

Dick squeezed his fist tightly. He shouted loudly: "I am not your burden, I don't need your protection, I will prove it to you!"

After shouting, he turned and ran. Batman moved his footsteps, wanting to continue chasing, but Dick's emotions had obviously collapsed. If Batman chased him like chasing prey, it would definitely give him greater pressure.

If it is said that in the past few years, the mutual torture with Shiler allowed Batman to learn something, that is, how to learn to give people the greatest pressure like this professor, and how to operate in reverse to avoid giving people pressure.

But soon, Batman had to chase in the direction Dick fled again, because on the street about two or three buildings away from here, a scream came.

After Dick heard the scream, he didn't think at all and turned to run over. And Batman behind him arrived at the scene of the incident almost at the same time as him. Just as he landed, he saw a black shadow raising a dagger at the man in the alley.

"Whoosh, whoosh," two batarangs broke through the air and hit the black shadow at an extremely fast speed. But as imagined, the scene of blood splashing didn't appear.

The moment the light on the bat belt shone on the black shadow, Dick let out a terrified scream and took two steps back directly, falling to the ground.

Even Batman's gaze condensed, because the appearance of that black shadow was really too terrifying.

That didn't look like a person, but a life-sized doll, and it was that kind of simulated ball-jointed doll.

But what was even more terrifying was that the limbs of the doll, which were separated and then connected by ball joints, weren't made of plastic or metal, but human limbs.

And it could be seen that the limbs on this terrifying doll didn't come from one person.

The two legs should have come from a woman, fair and slender, and the feet were still wearing high heels. The left arm was muscular and also had tattoos, which was clearly from a gang member. And the right arm was a large section shorter than the other limbs, which should have come from a child.

And the head of this doll was a young male, also wearing glasses, except that a terrifying doll makeup was painted on his face, and he was also wearing a wig that was already crooked.

His lips had been completely shaved off, replaced by plastic plump lips like a Barbie doll, and the upper and lower lips were sewn together with iron wire. One eyeball had been replaced by a fake doll eye, and the other eyeball revealed deep terror and pleading.

The moment Batman appeared, this doll seemed to lose control and fell to the ground. But Batman didn't check him the first time, but helped Dick to the wall, patted the back of Dick, who was constantly retching, and sprayed him with some calming spray.

Dick's face was pale, because the impact of the scene just now was really too great. He didn't have any preparation at all and saw the details of this monster clearly.

That was a living person who had been made into a doll. The congealed blood, broken skin, and terrified expression were all clear.

Perhaps, many people who have seen the accident scene know that the most impactful thing isn't the picture, but the picture combined with the rich smell. Even, some people can hear the subtle sound of blood erupting.

The scene surrounded by various senses will make people involuntarily associate how terrifying it would be if the tragedy happened to themselves.

This association will directly pierce people's psychological defense line, making people feel incomparable fear and disgust. Dick was in this state now.

Dick had been in a state of terror, and even the calming spray didn't work. After the terror, he began to get angry again, and then became violent, wanting to break free from Batman. Batman could only stretch out his arms and hug him.

He kept patting Dick's 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. Batman almost instinctively grasped his current state of mind, so he continued to pat his back and said: "I know, this is very scary. I also broke into a cold sweat just now, my shirt is soaked."

Dick's crying weakened slightly. Batman continued: "Anyone who sees such a cruel scene for the first time will feel afraid. You are not weak."

After crying for a long time, Dick finally calmed down. He sniffed, wiped his tears, looked at Batman, and said: "... You hurry over and take a look, he seems to want to kill."

After confirming that Dick was okay, Batman let go of him and walked towards the terrifying doll. But before he could walk over, a small black shadow darted out from behind the trash can at the end of the alley and shouted at Batman: "You are Batman, right? You must be that great hero Batman!"

Batman froze for a moment. Great hero Batman? He had never heard anyone call him that. For a long time, Batman's reputation was very bad. People only felt that he was a pervert wearing tights. Even if it had turned around slightly now, it definitely wouldn't reach the level of a great hero.

When the light on the bat belt shone over, the shadow blocked his eyes with his hand, seemingly stimulated by the light.

But soon, he rushed to the side of the doll, helped the other man who fell to the ground, and said: "My God! That's Uncle Verati! You were almost attacked by a terrifying doll!"

After this man who fell to the ground stood up, Batman discovered that it was a fat middle-aged man. He looked very kind, the fabric of the clothes he wore was very ordinary, but he held the keys to a luxury car in his hand, which should be a driver.

Fat Verati covered his chest, seemingly still not reacting. And after seeing the terrifying doll on the ground, he let out a shrill scream, rolled his eyes, and began to fall to the ground.

"Batman! Hurry and help Uncle Verati! He is my father's driver, here to pick me up from school!"

Until this time, Batman saw the appearance of this small black shadow clearly. That was a little boy, possessing short black hair and blue-green eyes. There was no terrified expression on his face. On the contrary, he appeared a bit excited.

He rushed directly in front of Batman, then reached out to pull his cloak. Although he was dodged by Batman, he still said with a fast speaking speed:

"My God! I really didn't expect! I would meet my idol Batman here! You must sign for me. I have admired you for a long time! I know, you are a great hero, and you really saved me this time. I knew I didn't misjudge the person!"

He said this while looking at Batman with expectant eyes, but subsequently, he clenched his fists and looked at the ground, stomping his feet while saying: "I knew it, I would definitely be able to meet Batman! I knew it, he is as handsome as I imagined!!"

Batman just opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but this little boy ran further away, looked at Batman, and said: "Oh, right, you send me home. This way, I can invite you to have a late-night snack."

"Look at me, I forgot to introduce myself! My father is the famous Right-Hand Drake, I am little Drake, you can also call me Tim Drake!"

Little Red is here!

(Seems there are several Little Reds?)
