Chapter 2418

Little Bruce's mouth opened, but he didn't say anything. Before coming here, his focus had always been on playing wits with that insurance investigator. And when he met Martha and Thomas before, Martha and Thomas's focus was also on Bruce and the Batman of the main universe, so there was nothing for him to do.

Batman's lack of skill in fighting encounters is also reflected in the fact that he is not very good at making up nonsense on the spot. This is not to say that his brain turns slowly, but that the pre-swing before speaking is relatively long, and making up nonsense on the spot always makes him suspect that he has loopholes, and he has to go through it hundreds of times in his mind. This leads to a longer window period.

As everyone knows, only fluent, unthinking, and spontaneous speech will make people feel it is a fact. And after asking a question, the other party ponders for a long time and then is silent for a long time, no matter how you look at it, it is being made up on the spot.

After Little Bruce was silent for 20 seconds, Martha frowned slightly.

"Perhaps I will go to Cat Getan University." Little Bruce didn't say it too firmly because he felt that Thomas and Martha might have other arrangements. But regardless, he wouldn't go to this university properly because that insurance investigator named Jerome was also a college student. How awkward it would be if they met at school.

"How are your grades?" Thomas asked, "Which high school are you attending?"

"Haven't attended yet." Little Bruce recalled and said, "If there are no accidents, after going back, I will directly read the second semester of the first year of high school."

"That is to say, you skipped half a year of courses."

Little Bruce nodded. He wanted to say that he skipped more than half a year of courses. He didn't study well in the whole junior high school. Most of the time was spent investigating his mother's affairs, and a small part of the time was spent hiding and interfering with Jerome's actions.

Although the junior high and high school courses are really nothing for Batman to learn, he obviously can't say that in front of his parents, especially when they very much hope you go to study.

"We don't expect you to learn any really useful knowledge in school." Thomas said, "But you must participate in the campus and engage in some activities suitable for your age group with your peers, instead of facing problems far beyond your age group every day. This is unreasonable."

"But I have the ability to deal with these problems." Little Bruce shook his head and said, "And I think the activities of my age group are very boring."

"Yes, you have the ability to deal with problems that are one level harder, and then you will find that there is a problem that is two levels harder. At this time, your ability is temporarily insufficient, so you start to think of various ways to improve your ability. After successfully solving this level-two difficulty problem, you soon find a level-three difficulty problem placed in front of you..."

"In the end, when everyone else is still playing level 1, you have already reached level 100. You are in the same age group as them, but you have long since not been people of the same world. And when they pass level 100, you are no longer a person."

Thomas's tone revealed helplessness. His eyes occasionally glanced toward the door, although there was nothing there, but the Batmen all knew who he was looking at.

"For you, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. The greater the responsibility, the greater the ability required. The greater the ability becomes, the greater the responsibility you have to bear, until finally you become omnipotent."

Thomas nodded while saying, "Except for losing the joys, sorrows, and pleasures that humans should have, everything is quite good, right?"

"But I am already facing many problems now." Little Bruce could understand what they said, but he still insisted, "I must solve them, otherwise everything will become worse."

"Yes, it was like that before." Martha pulled him over and touched his shoulder, saying, "The Robins are also like this. They go to bear these responsibilities only because no one else can, and if they don't, everything will become worse."

"But now it's different. We have reliance, we have support. You can go to work, but you can also have leisure, because someone will take over your work to ensure that everything runs as usual."

"Humans developed like this." Thomas continued, "We push this car forward. When we are tired, we let others come, let our relatives, friends, and everyone willing to give us support come."

Little Bruce was silent. He could understand what Thomas said from a rational point of view, but Batman's common problem is that he always wants to push the car a little further, a little further, preferably pushing it to the finish line by himself, because he is always worried that if he lets go, anyone who takes over for him will not only make the car go backward but will also be crushed by the car.

"Those excessive worries are abnormal." Martha hugged Little Bruce and said, "Others might have seen it, but some people don't know how to manage it, some people don't have the ability to manage it, and perhaps in the final analysis, they don't need to manage it."

"But your mother and I can't. We are not only your biological parents but also your legal guardians. If parents know that their son has abnormalities in his mental state but ignore it, or don't take strong measures to make him accept treatment and make him recover, besides being irresponsible to him, it is also irresponsible to this society."

Thomas raised his eyes and looked around at the Robins, then said, "This kind of mentality of Batman will not only harm himself. If this kind of mental illness that significantly affects others is not curbed, then there is no need for mental hospitals in the world to exist."

Except for Little Bruce, the other Batmen were also speechless. With their IQ, they could naturally feel that their mental state was quite different from the vast majority of people in this world. Although they subtly didn't want to admit that this had reached the category of illness, from the results, this group of Batmen, one by one, had already had a significant impact on their world.

"So, at least during the time you stay here, you must stop your terrible evolution." Thomas said, "There is no one here for you to bet the safety of the universe to save, and the terrible situation in your original universe will naturally be handled by someone."

"So what is this now? A vacation?" Batwoman said, "I thought we were just staying in the manor for a few days and then going back to our own homes."

"Of course not." Martha said with some dissatisfaction, "Your universe is very far from here, and it is very difficult to come here. How can you leave after staying for a few days?"

"And we are going on an outing." Red Robin proposed, "Too few people is boring. Why don't we compare who catches more fish."

"Oh, my God." Red Hood was obviously a bit broken, saying, "Can you stop mentioning fishing? Do you have to make me repeat the fact that you and Thomas fished for 10 hours until midnight and didn't catch a single one? And you still have to go the next day."

Nightwing's mouth also twitched. Obviously, they had some bad memories about fishing.

"That's because Thomas got the formula for the bait wrong before. Arthur clearly said that flaxseed must be added, but he insisted on using olive oil instead."

"But you only caught two fish in total the next day!"

"That's because the place we chose wasn't good." Thomas defended, "Tim dawdled and didn't go out that day, so we went half an hour late, which led to the good fishing spots being occupied."

Red Hood sighed deeply and said, "You just lectured Batman for staying up too late for experiments a few days ago, and the next day you met in the living room at 3 a. m. Batman was already asleep, and you were still making bait in the kitchen."

"Alright." Martha stopped them from tearing each other down and said, "If we are going to Blüdhaven for an outing, then we must go sea fishing. Perhaps we can also sail to the side of Mercy Harbor to look around, but you must promise me to go to bed early and get up early..."

Alfred soon brought the sliced bread, brushed with a little garlic olive oil, and put it on the stove to roast until the outer skin was crispy. They began to use knives to pick up butter and spread it on the bread, then cut the fried eggs, and used forks to fork up vegetables and put them into their mouths.

Then there was the very traditional family English breakfast sausage-sharing segment. The sausages Alfred had prepared before were brought up. Martha cut them separately, and each plate was divided into four different sausages, which were Thuringian black pepper sausage, Frankfurt sausage, lamb spicy sausage, and Lincolnshire sausage.

After dividing the sausages, Thomas handed each person's plate to them. Martha was cutting the sausage on her plate while saying, "I don't know who among you doesn't eat spicy food. If you are not used to it, give the sausage to the person next to you."

"Oh, by the way." Martha turned her head to look at the Bat-Monster Car parked on the side and said, "Alfred, do you think we need to get some gasoline or diesel? What flavor do you prefer to drink?"

"Ordinary gasoline is fine. If there is some crude oil, I would like it even more. Mom, I can eat spicy food very well."

Alfred immediately went to find gasoline for the Bat-Monster Car, while Martha was still muttering about the subsequent arrangements, "We won't go camping immediately. The weather is not very suitable now, and there is always thick fog at sea, so it is not suitable for fishing either."

"So those who are still in school need to go back to take a week of classes first. Little Bruce, the Dick from another universe was also preparing for high school before. I think we can hire the tutor he hired before for you, and then we will invite him and your future high school teacher to dinner this Saturday. You have to make some preparations."

Martha looked at Batwoman again and said, "I'm sorry, but there is already a Batman who works until 3 a. m. every day, so I'm afraid you don't have time to use the Batcave's equipment, and I don't think wandering around the manor is what you like."

"Cat Getan is waiting to be rebuilt, but if you really say there is anything that Batman must help with, it's not necessarily the case. I think it's better if we call Diana and let her find you a job at the Metropolis Art Museum. It's quiet and comfortable there, and you can occasionally paint and study opera."

Batwoman opened her mouth to say that she was not interested in these at all, but she remembered that Silvius had said before that his dream was to be an opera singer, but because of his background, he never realized it.

Batwoman sighed in her heart and nodded. Appreciating opera was fine, but letting her sing was forget it.

"Then you." Martha looked at Lightning Batman again and said, "If as you said, Barry's soul is still in your body, you have to find a way to separate him and then create a new body for him."

"However, as I said, there is already a Batman in the Batcave, and I'm afraid it can't bear two Batmen working there with high efficiency at the same time, so I think you should make some theoretical preparations. Thomas will make an appointment for you with a professor of mechanical engineering at Metropolis University. Perhaps you can also use the laboratory there..."

Before Lightning Batman could answer, Barry started howling in his mind. Lightning Batman just wanted to say 'Barry, shut up', but remembered that Martha and Thomas were still watching on the side, so he could only hold it back.

"And you." Martha looked at the Mechanical Batman on the side and said, "I think you have your own understanding of this mechanical body, and since it can still be used for the time being, there is no need to move it."

"However, it is very hard work for so many people to go on vacation together. Alfred is old, so you have to be considerate of your old butler and use this powerful body to help him carry some things."
