In The DC World With Marvel Chat Group Chapter 744: The Elegy of the Night Rain (Part 2)
"The Days of Being a Spiritual Mentor in Meiman"
Schiller was sure that he did smell the wine, which could not be done by substituting **** juice for beer. He frowned and looked at Bruce, who was just lying quietly on the sofa, breathing evenly, looking Is asleep.
If the opposite is really just a rich second generation, Schiller will not be surprised at all.
The empty manor, the drunk young master, the extinguished and neglected fireplace, all tell the story of a lonely heir.
However, Bruce Wayne is not just a rich man, he is also Batman, the most self-disciplined person in the world.
Schiller once saw him use **** juice instead of beer. The spicy feeling can make his performance more natural, and Batman is very good at reacting to drunkenness. Can be absolutely sure whether he is drunk or not.
So, he stepped forward and poked Bruce with the tip of his umbrella. The moment he raised his hand, Bruce didn't move. Schiller was sure that he was really asleep.
It's not normal for Batman to drink.
Schiller sighed, turned around and walked to the fireplace, and found that the shelf next to it was full of firewood, but it hadn't been added to the fireplace. Judging from the humidity of the firewood, it should have been added just now, Al Fred prepared everything for Bruce before walking away.
Schiller picked up a few pieces of relatively dry firewood and added them to the fireplace. Soon, the flames became vigorous, and all the scenes in the hall were displayed before his eyes.
[In other words, reading aloud and listening to books is currently the best, wild fruit reading, yeguoyuedu. Install the latest version. 】
Obviously, something has just happened here. In a space where someone once stayed, every trace represents a story.
Schiller took a deep breath and began his reasoning.
The most conspicuous trace in the entire hall is the footprints that spread all the way from the gate. Of course, this string of footprints was not left by Schiller, because Schiller would habitually wipe his shoes on the door carpet.
Moreover, this series of small footprints is very small, and it looks like it was left by a little girl about seven or eight years old. Schiller walked towards the gate, and he saw that this series of footprints should be left by two people. One of the shoes The child with a smaller shoe size runs in front, and the other child with a larger shoe size runs behind.
The two of you should have chased me in, and they were stopped not far from the gate.
Schiller squatted down and looked at the place where the footprints ended. There were some water stains, which seemed to be dripping from something. Schiller guessed that it should be the rain on the hair, combined with the shape of the footprints From the looks of it, these should be two little girls.
Schiller looked at the gate, and the dark night sky outside the gate began to brighten. The moon set and the sun rose. Just today, Gotham ushered in the heaviest rain in three months. In an instant, it poured heavily outside the gate.
Two small figures rushed in from the door, both of them were soaked through, and their shoes were covered with muddy water. Just as they rushed in, Alfred, who was standing by the fireplace adding firewood, He hurried up and stopped them.
Standing behind Alfred, Schiller took a step to the left. He saw that the little girl who ran in first had a blurred face and could not be identified, but the little girl behind was Aisha .
Aisha's hair has grown very long. After being poured by the rain, strands of hair stick to her face. The hair dripped water as it was wiped, and it landed just near the ground where the footprints ended.
The light dimmed again, and Schiller stepped over the string of footprints to a place near the sofa. Through the firelight of the fireplace, Schiller saw that Bruce was sitting there reading the newspaper. When rushing in one after the other, he stood up and walked towards the door.
In an instant, time stood still, the water droplets stopped in the air, and the walking Bruce paused.
Schiller stepped forward and picked up the newspaper that had been suppressed from the armrest of the sofa. He saw that the news that the Metropolitan Angelica Troupe had arrived in Gotham was written on the newspaper, and at the same time , also published their simple repertoire.
Schiller turned the newspaper over and looked at the folds of the newspaper repeatedly. Then, Bruce, who had already got up and walked to the door, stepped back and changed his posture.
He stood up with the newspaper in his hand, and when he saw two little girls rushing in, he didn't even have time to refold the newspaper, so he threw the newspaper beside the handrail, and walked quickly rushed over.
The posture of the newspaper shows that Bruce is anxious, but why is Bruce anxious? He clearly knew that Aisha was different from ordinary people, not to mention being exposed to rain, even if she was exposed to boiling water, it was impossible for her to get sick.
Then the problem may be with that strange little girl.
Schiller walked back to the footprints, looked at the size of the shoe prints, and then thought of the children he saw in the basement at that time. Their faces and figures played back in Schiller's mind, and then, the thinnest one The face of the little girl appeared in his mind.
In front of him, the little girl stood at the front, Aisha stood behind him, trying to reach out to grab her, Alfred stood on the left, and Bruce, who had just walked over, stood on the right.
Judging from the accumulation of water stains, they should have stayed here for a while, and then the little girl stayed where she was, but Aisha ran out, and at the same time, Alfred chased her out.
The clues near the gate stop here. Schiller speculates that Bruce should have brought the little girl home, but for some unknown reason, the little girl ran out with Aisha on a rainy day, and Aisha chased after her again. Then she ran back.
At this moment, Bruce may feel very angry. He reprimanded Aisha, so Aisha ran out angrily, and Alfred chased him out.
Schiller went back to where Bruce was lying near the sofa, and saw a letter on the coffee table with Dick's handwriting on it.
Because he has been teaching Dick all the time, Schiller knows that his handwriting has changed. What is written in this letter is that Dick said that he is busy with his studies, so he will stay at school for a few days and will not reply these days home.
Holding the letter, Schiller frowned, busy with studies? What can be busy in middle school? What's more, Dick doesn't like studying at all. He wished he could go to school every day and never stay overnight, so that he wouldn't be stared at by the teacher for his homework.
Schiller glanced at Bruce who was frowning tightly in his sleep. He knew that Bruce might have had some conflicts with Dick, which made Dick unwilling to go home.
Schiller actually expected this day long ago. Bruce's character is really indescribable. He always had a day when he failed to communicate with Dick, but he never thought that this day would come so soon.
Why did they disagree, Schiller also had some speculations. After all, he had seen Bruce's attitude towards those children before, and Schiller knew better what the crux of those children was.
For an abused child, frequent changes of environment are extremely detrimental to them, which may lead to more severe stress reactions.
Before, Coppert rescued them and put them in the basement of a bar. Bruce sent them to the hospital, and then brought the little girl home. The environment may greatly stimulate these children.
Luxury restaurants and manors are easier for them to accept, because although the things here have become more refined, they all know the prototype.
For example, the pattern on the chair is very beautiful, but the chair is still a chair. They have the concept of this thing in their minds, knowing that the chair is for sitting, the table is for putting things, and the bed is for sleeping.
But the hospital is different, there are too many things they have not touched before, for example, is the pole used to hang the infusion bottle some new weapon? What is the nurse doing with the needle in her hand? Why is everyone staring at them? Why change clothes? And why are you lying on the bed?
These unknown things will greatly stimulate them, and this little girl is even more pitiful. Just after getting out of that environment, she has entered another strange environment, and by this point, she may not be sober. sanity.
Schiller found some traces in the corner of the room. It seemed that the little girl had once hid here, but it was not difficult to see that Bruce followed her after she hid here.
Obviously, almost everything Bruce has done with the little girl is wrong, he's paying too much attention, pushing, and it's going to cause a lot of pressure.
For children who have been mentally stimulated and abused, their understanding of the world is distorted, and many behaviors that are normal to normal people are terrible to them.
For example, if an adult walks towards them, it means that they may be beaten, and if a person pins them on the bed, it means that something more terrible may happen.
One person talking to them all the time might mean they're getting thrown out, someone holding their hand and talking to another person might mean they're getting sold.
This concept has been formed in their brains, so these behaviors will further stimulate them.
Schiller outlined Bruce's behavior trajectory in his mind. Obviously, under the stimulation step by step, the little girl completely lost her sanity, and she could only rely on instinct to protect herself.
Based on her physical condition, Schiller believes that she should not be able to move for more than three hours, and then she will pass out, and after the coma, she should be sent back to the room to sleep.
But what was even more frightening was that when she woke up and found herself in a strange environment again, the stimulation would be even more intense.
They don't understand what it means to "sleep in the bedroom" and "eat in the restaurant". They just feel that they have fallen into a terrible whirlpool and cannot extricate themselves.
And the only thing they can do at this time is to run away.
Schiller doesn't know what method the little girl used to escape from Wayne Manor, but there is no doubt that she should have successfully escaped, but Aisha also chased her out.
Aisha drove the little girl back to Wayne Manor, but at this time, Bruce made another wrong decision.
He thought he had made progress on this little girl, but in the blink of an eye, she was caught in the rain again, developed a high fever again, and almost ran away, which is equivalent to the previous progress completely disappearing , not only returned to the origin, but even worse.
He didn't think about the reasons for this failure on a deeper level, but simply expressed his dissatisfaction.
Maybe, he was asking Alfred why the little girl ran out, or maybe he was asking Aisha what was going on.
However, Aisha is not an ordinary child after all. She is a wild and unruly chaotic creature. After feeling Bruce's emotions, she ran out of Wayne Manor directly.
At that time, it was raining heavily outside, and Alfred would definitely choose to chase Aisha, but at this time, only Bruce was left alone with the little girl.
Schiller turned around in the hall and upstairs, but found no sign of the little girl. He thought for a while, and then walked across the hall towards the garden behind.
There were also no children's footprints in the garden, but Schiller did find some Bruce's footprints.
Normally speaking, Batman would not reveal such flaws. It seems that he was in a very abnormal mood when he was walking this road.
Schiller had anticipated the outcome, but he still sighed when he opened the warehouse door.
A crate in the corner of the warehouse was stuffed with blankets and quilts. Schiller walked over and opened a corner of these plants. As expected, he saw a small foot.
Throwing away all the blankets and quilts, there is a little girl inside, but she is not breathing at all.
Judging from the body, the death should not exceed three hours. The cause of death was excessive malnutrition, coupled with heart and lung failure caused by hypothermia.
Schiller checked her chest, wrist, and the side of her neck. Bruce should have taken some first aid measures, but the chances of a child of this age surviving such torture are very small, and when She was probably on the verge of coma when she ran back to meet Bruce.
It only takes 10 to 15 minutes for an adult to suffer from heart and lung failure in a state of severe continuous hypothermia, but the poor physical condition of this little girl shortens this process extremely, and the entire death process may not exceed 30 seconds, even with Batman's technological strength, he couldn't save her life.
Schiller sighed, and covered the blanket and quilt again. He had just stood up when he heard a movement behind him. He turned his head and saw a darker figure appearing in the dark warehouse door. figure.
Bruce stood outside the door, holding a pistol in his hand, but he didn't raise it. His expression was a little dazed, as if he didn't realize that he was standing in the rain.
As soon as Schiller took a step forward, Bruce turned around and walked back. When Schiller walked outside the door, he only saw Bruce turning a corner and disappearing to the side of the manor with a pistol in hand.
Suddenly, there was a "bang", and the sound of something falling to the ground echoed in the empty manor, making it particularly intrusive.
Schiller opened the umbrella and walked back to the hall. He saw that there was no Bruce there, but the wine cabinet on the side was upside down, and the expensive red wine was scattered all over the floor.
Glancing over there, Schiller knew that in addition to the two bottles of wine that were missing when he came, there were two missing bottles, which should have been taken by Bruce.
Schiller turned his head and looked out the window. The roar of the Batmobile sounded, and a black shadow flew towards the sky against the light of lightning.
Batman drove his own car on the road in Gotham. The night here was very quiet. There was only one car on the wide and straight road. There was no obstacle in front of him, so he drove faster and faster.
The surrounding scenery became more and more like a lake in his vision, and he began to be unable to clearly feel the existence of speed.
The peak damping system of the Batmobile made him feel no tremor when it touched the ground. He seemed to be flying in the middle of a rainy night, just like those bats passing by at low altitude.
Batman thought he was going to the Batcave, but in fact, the direction of the car has completely deviated from the intended destination. where.
Suddenly, he felt that this road was somewhat familiar. He gradually slowed down and looked at the buildings that had been swaying in his field of vision. Among the layers of buildings, he keenly caught a familiar outline.
That is the White Community High School where Dick is now attending.
The pitch-black car stopped slowly, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the light shining through the middle school dormitory was like a lamp in a dark room, attracting many moths looking up there.
But soon, the roar of the Batmobile sounded again, lightning flashed at the end of the sky, and the puddles on the road were turned into bright white, reflecting the shadow of the Batmobile speeding past.
Only Batman knows what's wrong when the little girl first passes out.
He has always looked at these issues from his perspective, including not only this little girl, but also Dick.
He thought the little girl should go to the hospital, so he sent her to the hospital, and he thought Dick should go to school, so he sent him to the mission high school, and because of the accident at the mission high school, he transferred him to the community high school, And because the previous community middle school was too far away, he was transferred to a closer community middle school, and because of an accident in the boarding school, he was changed to day school.
When Batman realized that the little girl might have suffered a nervous breakdown because of changing the environment too many times, Batman realized what he was doing to Dick.
When he recalled all this, he found that Dick had expressed it to him more than once, but he didn't care at all,
Dick said that he is not interested in studying, but Batman only thinks that he is too young and ignorant. Dick said that he misses his classmates in the chorus class, but Batman only thinks that this is a parting that must be experienced in life~IndoMTL. com~Dick said that he didn't know which club to choose in the new school, but Batman thought he should have the ability to distinguish.
He never thought about the consequences of such an education method, just like before he sent the little girl back to the room to sleep, he never realized what he did wrong, but he suddenly realized, By the time it was time to change, things had become irreparable.
When he was holding the little girl's body on the way to the warehouse, he felt that the body in his hands became heavier. Suddenly, he saw a familiar face. He saw, That's Dick, and see, that's Elsa.
As a result, he had no choice but to return to the hall of the manor in a panic, but the fireplace there could not give him any warmth. Old red wine.
Three faces kept circling in Batman's mind, the little girl, Dick and Elsa.
On the road leading to the outside of the city, the roar is getting louder and the speed of the car is getting faster and faster.
Suddenly, there was a piercing sound of brakes, and the Batmobile's protective device was activated, but it didn't work at all. The whole car rolled over, the engine exploded, and flames rose.
The flames are burning more and more vigorously in the night rain, such absurd scenes will only appear in Gotham.
Batman crawled out of the Batmobile, his face was covered with blood, his eyes lit up in the hazy and blurred field of vision.
Gentle light enveloped him, but he knew that all of this was just an illusion, he tried hard to close his eyes, and when he opened them again, he saw something rolling in front of his eyes.
It is a circle of light that looks extremely bright in the rainy night.
