Chapter 811 Red Hood (V)

It has to be admitted that Yin Wens is indeed a very hard-working student, and he knows Schiller very well. The advice he gave to Schiller made him feel that there was some truth in it.

Schiller decided to give Bruce a fairly good grade and let him graduate, not out of guilt or sympathy.

The overall emotional and psychological changes of human beings in their lives have certain rules. Many times ordinary people will feel that time is the best medicine to heal pain, but the premise is that it is only pain, not disease.

Psychological problems and mental illnesses will not weaken over time. On the contrary, because many people do not understand their own mental state, they will put themselves in a stressful environment for a long time, or repeatedly stimulate the mind with trauma. If they are not treated, the overall trend is a downward trend.

It is almost impossible for a mentally ill person with extremely serious psychological trauma to get rid of the troubles of the disease by himself. This is like asking a person to step on the right foot and the left foot to go to the sky. It is not something that can be solved by "thinking open-mindedly".

But Batman really thought open-mindedly.

Regardless of how he relieved himself, and regardless of whether he used the professional knowledge he learned in school, he did create a miracle. Not only did he cure himself, but he also took a big step forward on the road to mental stability and logical self-consistency.

Such results are actually enough for him to graduate, but the problem is that he lacks too many credits, so the process cannot be followed, and Schiller needs to find a legitimate reason to let him graduate.

It has happened before. Undergraduate students have published several top journals, but they missed too many classes due to some special reasons, resulting in insufficient credits. They cannot graduate according to the rules, but they are granted degree certificates by exception. Schiller has seen two or three cases.

But exceptions are not made casually. You have to show some achievements. This experience in the slums can only be said to have cured himself. It cannot be used as practical experience for graduation. Moreover, his experience is a bit too miserable. Even if Schiller wants to tell others, Bruce will not agree.

In this case, Bruce will have to take another additional test to meet the standard for exceptional graduation. Since his theoretical performance is far inferior to that of practical performance, it is better to take another practical test.

Originally, Schiller planned to let Bruce go back to the slums and repeat the previous method, but this time he had a strategy in hand, so he could get a very good score in a very short time, which was just right for graduation.

But he thought about it again. Many other students at Gotham University came from the slums. This experience was not convincing enough, and it would only make them think, isn't it just making a name for yourself in the slums? I or my relatives can do it.

Therefore, Schiller had to increase the difficulty a little. He felt that Bruce's poor performance in the first slum dungeon was not because he was not capable enough, but mainly because he didn't think it through.

If you have a higher moral bottom line than everyone here, you have to accept the reality that your living standard is lower than that of most people here. After all, if Gotham is a normal city and everyone abides by the law, then there is nothing wrong with such behavior, but Gotham is completely the opposite. People who abide by the law are rare here, and you can't compete with these people by following the rules.

In this case, it is better to raise the class level a little bit, go to an orderly but not so orderly place, give full play to the theoretical knowledge learned, understand the rules, and quickly integrate into the group.

And this new copy is naturally the Gotham gang.

Even the Gotham gang at the bottom has a lot of rules, which is more orderly than the chaos at the bottom. The difficulty will not be too difficult, and it can also let other students see Bruce's level, so there should be no problem for him to graduate by exception.

After making the decision, Schiller came to the ward where Bruce was hospitalized. Because he had been injected with lizard serum before, his more serious wounds have now completely healed, leaving only the scars on the epidermis that have not yet grown perfectly.

Now, Bruce's injuries were only external, and when he heard the news while lying on the hospital bed, he felt that he might have some mental trauma, which led to hallucinations.

Schiller actually let him graduate? ? !

Bruce closed the book in his hand, looked at Schiller and said, "Professor, if you are really sorry for letting me fall into the chemical pool, you don't have to use this method."

"There are several mistakes in your sentence." Schiller looked at the notebook in his hand and said calmly, "First, it was not me who made you fall into the chemical pool, but the Joker. Second, even if it was me, I would not feel sorry for this. Finally, this is not a discussion but a notice. If you don't plan to participate, don't graduate."

After that, Schiller threw the notebook full of words in his hand to Bruce, which contained some well-known exam requirements.

First, Bruce cannot use existing technological equipment, such as Batsuits, Batmobiles, etc., but it does not limit himself from inventing. Second, he cannot reveal his identity. After all, there are still many people in the gangster copy who know Bruce.

The last and most important point is the passing standard. Looking at the line of words above, Bruce felt insulted, because that line of words clearly read "Successfully join the gang and don't be expelled within one month."

With the freedom to invent at will, the unrestricted use of his genius to make money, and the requirement to join the gang without being expelled, Bruce suspected that Schiller was engaging in malpractice, and he had evidence.

Bruce doesn't intend to do just these things. Even if Schiller doesn't arrange this exam, he still wants to join the gang.

As an integral part of Gotham, gangster culture is the foundation and lifeblood of this place. Bruce is curious about this, so sooner or later he has to go, and not only must he join the gang, he must also make a name for himself.

And now is the best time, because his appearance has not completely recovered, and more importantly, his voice has also changed somewhat.

After falling into the chemical, he actually choked on the water, and his throat and vocal cords were corroded to a certain extent, which made his voice different from Bruce and Batman.

His painful two months in the slums had caused a major change in his body shape. Even his chin, which was often exposed, had become pointed. Even people who were familiar with him would not recognize him.

And this also means that he can use another hidden identity to contact acquaintances he has contacted before without being discovered.

After experiencing the painful lessons of the slums, Bruce finally understood that a three-man gang is more than just a proverb. Without acquaintances, it is difficult to hang out anywhere, so on this gang trip, he plans to find an acquaintance to guide him.

However, lying on the hospital bed, Bruce counted the people he knew on his fingers. Either they were completely unrelated to this circle and could not provide much help, or... or they were too Schiller.

After much deliberation, Bruce targeted one person, and that was Jason Todd.

The last time he solved Bruce's problem, Bruce understood that Jason was actually a good boy with a kind nature, but because he was in a special environment, he had a different growth experience from normal children.

But this growth experience did not make him vulnerable, but instead revealed his talents. Bruce, who had experienced life in the slums, knew that even a native Gotham resident who wanted to be the leader of a kid gang would have to do it. Very difficult.

Once you become the leader of a gang, it means that in addition to worrying about your own food, clothing, housing and transportation, you also have to worry about everyone in the gang. Even if you are familiar with the gang, it is an extremely difficult job.

In other words, this is not a question of IQ, but of emotional intelligence. You must first get ahead in this society before you can lead others. This is difficult for adults, let alone a child.

In Bruce Township, if he had accepted such a gang when he was eleven years old, he would probably have had a headache for a long time. He could make inventions, but how could he sell the inventions he made? How to divide the money from the sale? How to keep the money that has been divided? How do you explain assignments to children? It's all trouble.

But Jason can do a good job. According to Bruce's understanding, the Capuchin Gang is also one of the best kid's gangs on the street. If he can get his help, the gang copy will start smoothly.

So, he concealed his identity and approached Jason, hoping to learn from the bottom of the gang and figure out the gang's context along the way, laying a solid foundation for what he wanted to do next.

The reason why Bruce chose a red hood is to distinguish it from the previous image of Batman. If he were to wear black again, no one would know that it was another Batman vest, so it would be better to use some bright colors.

And he has a perfect reason to explain why he wears this mask. After all, his injury is not healed yet, and the scars exposed on his body are very much like the scars left after severe burns. As long as he wears it because of the burns and disfigurement Hood, then no one will be surprised, after all, this is Gotham.

And Jason did not disappoint him. Whether it was reasoning, making plans or executing plans, his level was far higher than that of his peers, even far higher than most adults.

If it were in the past, no matter how good Jason's plan was, Batman would definitely make his own plan and let Jason do what he said. It would be best if he could do it himself and not miss every detail. He would definitely treat Jason He scoffed at the idea of ​​taking a gamble.

But now, he stayed in the phone booth, waiting for Jason's call. After a while, the phone rang, and Jason's voice came from over there: "We got his house number, and we're ready to answer the call." I."

Bruce could tell that Jason's voice was a little weak. He hung up the phone very quickly, and began to think about where to find a tool to quickly stop the bleeding. Jason was probably injured.

But this is normal. An eleven-year-old child is performing an infiltration mission alone. Even if there are no gangs in the hotel, it does not mean that the security guards or staff there do not have weapons.

After a while, a truck stopped steadily in front of the alley. Jason sat in the driver's seat, leaning on the steering wheel, with his hand on his abdomen. Bruce quickly got into the passenger seat and pulled his arm away. , to see the wound.

There was a very large gash three centimeters below the last rib on his left side. It was not sure if the internal organs were injured. Jason gritted his teeth and said intermittently: "It's my first time to do this job and I'm not skilled at it. I stepped on the carpet." I left footprints when I was there, and I ran into a tough guy. Fortunately, he didn’t have a gun. I was slightly injured when I dodged..."

Bruce didn't say anything. He took off his coat, tied it around Jason's waist, asked him to apply pressure on the wound, and then wanted to get out of the car to find a first aid kit.

"No, don't leave me here..." Jason panted, he said: "Carry me...carry me back to the cellar, let me go home...someone there can save me, let me go home..."

Bruce's hand holding the car door handle tightened instantly. He hesitated for a moment, but still turned around and carried Jason out.

Holding Jason covered in blood, Bruce slowly walked into the dark night of Gotham. After them, a storm swept along the waves.
