Chapter 1,240 The Farm of Justice (22)

Holding Bruce's transcript, Thomas sat on the sofa in Wayne Manor and covered his forehead. His mood was no longer angry, but was really worried.

He found that he had fallen into a misunderstanding of thinking before. Professor Speed's words made him think that his son Bruce had taken the path of Batman, who was an omniscient and versatile genius who could do everything well.

In fact, even if Bruce is not Batman, he has a large legacy left by Thomas and Martha, runs the stable Wayne Group, the old housekeeper who takes care of his diet and daily life, and the handsome appearance from genes, theoretically speaking, as long as his ability level is similar to that of a normal person, he will definitely be able to live a much happier life than a normal person.

But now it seems that Bruce didn't have time to be Batman, nor did he make his life very well, but on the contrary, it can be said to be a mess.

This is not because Thomas has too high demands. The main reason is that Thomas himself is an old-school person. Before he became Batman, he was a more traditional Catholic and valued his family very much. Even after he became Batman, he did not forget to save Martha, who was a clown.

Judging from his logic of action, everything he did was to save his family, but it was not successful.

So, as soon as Bruce graduated from university, he created a lively illegitimate illegitimate daughter, which was a bit beyond his cognition.

The United States is not as open as many people imagine. At least in Thomas' era, the Catholics on the East Coast were still very conservative. If something like illegitimate children and illegitimate daughters were spread, it would be a shame for the entire family.

But Thomas could still comfort himself. He and Martha died too early, so Bruce would inevitably need other emotional comfort. It was not surprising that he was not very familiar with the world at that time and would cause trouble.

Thomas didn't know that Elsa's essence was actually a monster. He thought that what Alfred said was credible. Perhaps it was because of the irresponsibility of Bruce and Elsa's mother who were not easy to mention that the little girl had various congenital diseases.

What made Thomas even more unhappy was that it seemed that Elsa's various diseases were not well treated. Since things had been done, they should take responsibility instead of letting them go, which was contrary to Thomas' values.

If these two points are still tolerated, then Bruce has not done research well and has a terrible university grades, which makes Thomas even more difficult to understand.

Human time is limited, even Batman is the same. Thomas knows that he can be Batman wholeheartedly because he has no worries.

And this young Bruce, of course, had to take into account both the work of being a charity policeman and writing papers at school, and there was something that could not be taken into account.

But what happened to both aspects?

Thomas' main activity trajectory these days is still in the West and South areas. After all, Gotham is a megacity. If he doesn't take the initiative to go to the East and North areas, he will not be able to see the construction site there. Even if he sees it, Thomas will not think about what Bruce is going to do.

It was only after a lot of training that Bruce had his own thoughts and the path he wanted to take. The twists and turns were not understood by experiences. Thomas could not understand what he wanted to do at first glance. Even if he knew, this Batman, who was hit hard by life, might not have any hope.

Thomas didn't know that because of Schiller's arrival, the clown in this universe was only Sunset Shrimp, so he really didn't understand how he could do anything without Bruce having such good material conditions, a genius brain and handsome appearance.

The pessimistic people always think more and more pessimistic. This elderly bat who has experienced the most painful tragedy in the world, the more he thinks, the more he is worried.

This pessimistic speculation was most powerfully confirmed when Thomas found a bunch of messy diagnostic certificates in Bruce's bedroom.

I believe many people still remember that Bruce once asked Schiller very seriously if he was sick?

Schiller gave a positive answer, but it was not just a reply. He had prescribed some medicines to Bruce. Although Gotham's medical system was chaotic, Schiller still adhered to the principle of a doctor, that is, prescribe according to the process.

Prescriptions are not just a note. They have to go through a series of standardized processes, such as first confirmation, prescription prescription review, etc. The necessary link is to write a diagnosis.

According to Schiller's judgment, Bruce may have squeezed the emotional modules in the brain because of his superb IQ, and has some pedigree characteristics and high-functional population characteristics, but it is not typical autism.

In this case, Schiller could not write randomly, but fortunately, there is also a medical classification for such people. Therefore, Bruce's diagnosis is a widespread developmental disorder to be classified (Pervasive Developmental Disorder Not Otherwise Specified).

I believe many people start to feel dizzy when they see this long list of nouns, but this is the diagnosis in English. Not only is it very long, but there are also various strange abbreviations.

Schiller was still afraid that Bruce would not understand, so he wrote out the full name, otherwise he would only write one PDD-NOS, which most laymen would not understand.

But it is precisely because of this very specific diagnosis that Thomas' fingertips began to tremble a little.

He has some understanding of medicine, but is not proficient in psychiatry and psychology. Therefore, his thinking in this regard is similar to that of ordinary people. As long as he sees words such as "to be classified", "broadness", and "development", he will think of incurable diseases.

At that time, Schiller prescribed a lot of drugs to Bruce, including some placebos, so the list of drugs was very long, which looked a bit scary, and what was even more scary was that at the end of the prescription, the doctor's signature was Schiller Rodriguez.

Thomas is not an indigenous person of this universe, so he doesn't know that Schiller is famous in this world, but he knows that Schiller is a clown.

It is actually hard to say that Batman went to see a Joker for medical treatment. If the Joker had given him seriously and had seen the disease, Batman would have been very sick. But if the Joker didn't see the disease and Batman prescribed and paid the fee, then he would have been even more sick.

As the saying goes, if people don’t agree to open the window, then you ask to lift the ceiling and everyone will definitely agree to open the window.

If Thomas disagrees with his son being Batman, then show him Bruce's bad transcript, a stack of mental illness diagnosis certificates and prescriptions, then he must agree to Bruce being Batman.

After all, being Batman is always better than being a mentally ill, Martha's tragedy has fully explained this to Thomas, and being better than being a madman.

A few minutes later, Thomas, who was sitting on the sofa, had more diagnosis and receipts in addition to the transcripts. He simply took off his mask and exposed the wrinkles in the corners of his eyes that were full of vicissitudes of life.

Jason, who had just finished his homework, ran downstairs to drink water, but he saw Thomas worrying there.

Dick was deceived by Thomas, so he didn't trust him. Tim seemed a little afraid of Thomas, but Jason was the only one who was quite interested in Thomas.

"What's wrong with you?" Jason walked up and asked, "Do you need help?"

Without Thomas answering, Jason took another step forward, poked his body and glanced at the stack of papers on his hand, and then showed a sudden enlightenment.

Although Thomas did not answer him immediately, he was also observing his reaction. Seeing Jason's expression that was not surprising, he asked in confusion: "Have you seen these things?"

"Of course, when the professor was writing the diagnosis, I was right next to him, and I asked him for the spelling of words."

Thomas hesitated for a moment, and then he waved to Jason. Jason took two steps forward a little confusedly. He could feel that Thomas had no malice. Sure enough, Thomas gently rubbed his head and said, "Don't tell others, okay?"

"Who are others referring to?" Jason asked very bluntly. Before Thomas could speak, he said, "Are you referring to these people from Wayne Manor? They already knew it."

"Bruce could not have deceived Alfred. Everything he had was kept by the housekeeper. Dick had the closest relationship with him. He often went into his bedroom. I'm afraid he had seen it. Tim was very smart and had already talked from Dick."

"As for Elsa... I suggest you put these things back quickly, otherwise you will enter Elsa's stomach tonight. She is the most efficient shredder here."

Thomas stared at Jason with his wrinkled eyes. He saw two completely different temperaments in Jason's eyes, including the wildness of the chaotic streets of the dark city of Gotham, and the intellectuality of knowledge and philosophical thinking.

"No father wants his son to be sick," Thomas said. As soon as he was about to say the next sentence, Jason rushed in front of him and said, "But no son wants his father to be sick. Do you think he is not sick?"

Thomas looked at him blankly, Jason put his hands behind him, lowered his eyes, and said, "If you are not sick, you will not break three ribs of your own son, and you will have to follow his friends to other cities without healing your injuries at your own home."

Thomas looked down at the diagnosis certificate again, and found that he was really good at tolerating a lunatic. Whether it was Martha, the clown, or Bruce, once he learned that they might have mental illness, Thomas' expectations for them were left to let them take care of themselves.

Thomas sighed deeply and stood up. He turned to Alfred and said, "Come to me for the flight ticket, I'm going to Kansas."

Before Alfred could respond, he heard a "boom" sound, and a violent explosion came from the gate of Wayne Manor.

Thomas instinctively pressed Jason under him. When the explosion ended, the smoke and dust dissipated. Thomas saw the door of Wayne Manor collapse. In the night, a slightly familiar figure stood outside the door.

"Joker..." Thomas narrowed his eyes, Batman's instinct buzzed, but the one who appeared outside the door was not Schiller he had already seen, but another Joker.

He was wearing a truck driver's uniform, holding a chicken leg that was half gnawed, and a bomb remote control in his other hand.

"Hello, my name is Jack, one of my colleagues, oh, a former colleague, I called me and told me that my little bat actually found his father. I've been busy with work recently and haven't been able to visit me. I'm very happy to see you, Mr. Batman."

Thomas didn't talk nonsense to him at all. He took out three bat darts from his waist and threw them over. Jack clown rolled in place, shook his head with a smile and said, "Great Batman Master, don't you plan to listen to the poor clown Chen Qing's words, and do it again?" Heng Zi

Thomas was loading the pistol while staring at Jack the clown, and the expression on his face seemed to be saying, "I want to see what else you can tell."

But the clown Jack's words made him slowly widen his eyes.

Jack showed an exaggerated smile, limped to Thomas, and took out a wrinkled note from his pocket of his clothes, and slapped the note on the coffee table with confidence.

Thomas glanced at the note and was stunned, and Jack's voice rang in his ears.

"You can't hit me, otherwise, tomorrow, all Gotham will know that the bully Wayne and his son will not pay back the money, and they will beat the creditors!"

"Yes, your son owes me $100, and he hasn't paid it yet! Look, this is an IOU, it's irrefutable, so let him come back and pay it back!"

Thomas' eyes were dark.
