Chapter 287 Sinestro Danger
Dick was holding Aisha and sitting at the breakfast stand. Jason was stuffing a sandwich into his mouth. Several other older children gathered in front of the food truck to order. Jason looked at Dick and said, "So, that rich man really wants to send you to boarding school? That's not a good place!"
"It's a normal boarding school, the kind that children from rich families go to, not those prisons for kids."
"That's better. If he sends you to those prisons, I think you'd better escape as soon as possible. The children there are miserable." Tire came over with a glass of ice juice and said.
"I heard that they would sell the children sent to boarding schools to the most vicious little leaders, or sell them to other cities to beg after making them disabled." Red Train also came over and said.
Several people came over with their own food, and then sat down around the small table again.
At this moment, Jason sighed and looked a little sad. The others asked him, "What's wrong with you?"
"I don't know what to do with the matter that weirdo in a bat costume told me."
"He said it easily, asking me to check the 'parents' who control the children, but I can't go to the leaders of those children and ask them 'What's wrong with you?'"
Behind the red truck, Cobblepot came over with a tray. He put the tray down, sat on the chair, and straightened his collar. Rocket laughed at him, "You always make yourself look like an old noble. Is it true that you can't eat like this?" Will the food smell better?"
Copperhead ignored her and said to Jason: "You are not that old, you can find another street. Mix with the kids there, and then find a job like this, wouldn't it be possible to meet those bosses legitimately?"
Tire thought for a while and said: "Indeed, we are definitely not good enough, we are too old and too strong, those little bosses won't want us, but you, oh... and you, Dick, you two should be able to mix in with your age and appearance..."
Dick shrugged and said: "In a few days, I may have to go to school."
He turned his head. Seeing Jason staring at him, Dick sighed and said: "Okay, it's not impossible to play with you for the next two days."
After discussing it, Jason and Dick decided to go to Green Street on the edge of the East District and find a job as a cigarette vendor to see if they could get some information from those little bosses.
After dinner, Dick took Aisha back to Wayne Manor. Alfred said to him, "The master just came back and was looking for you."
Dick nodded and took Aisha to Bruce's study on the third floor. After he went in, Bruce said to him, "Pack your things and prepare to go to school next week."
Dick moved his mouth and seemed a little resistant. When Bruce looked at him, he suddenly felt very emotional.
When a person faces the same thing in different identities, he will find that his younger self seems reckless and impulsive. Bruce looked at Dick standing at the door and seemed to see himself standing in the psychological counseling room.
He always felt that the professor had some unspeakable secrets and must have some superpowers. He was eager to learn mind reading from the psychology professor and tried to skip all the theoretical knowledge learning stages and directly master the ultimate mystery of psychology.
What did the professor do at the time? Bruce found that his memory was a little vague. At that time, he didn't understand why Schiller was unwilling to teach him? He felt that he was very talented in psychology and should be the kind of student who understood everything at once that all teachers liked.
But later, Bruce discovered that psychology includes more than just the topic of "what the other person is thinking now", or in other words, this topic is actually a relatively shallow and superficial one in psychology.
The essence of this subject is the exploration of the inner world of people, personality formation and the fundamental causes of human behavior, and these essences can only be learned from those profound and cumbersome volumes, and they need years of application and analysis to master.
Obviously, Dick now also wants to skip the process of going to school, practicing, and practicing, and directly learn Bruce's superpowers. Now, Bruce, who is trying to dissuade him as an elder, deeply feels Schiller's helplessness at the time.
Does Bruce have superpowers? From the perspective of ordinary people, he does have them. Not only is he super rich, he is born with a very high IQ, learns everything quickly, and has excellent athletic ability, coordination ability and flexibility. In a sense, this is already a superpower.
But Bruce is very clear that his current level is not just based on talent, and those learning and practice processes cannot be skipped.
"Listen, Dick, I can certainly let you not go to school and run around the streets every day, just like other kids in Gotham, or you can continue to practice the acrobatics you like and not learn foreign languages, math and dance that you don't like..."
"But it is precisely because I think you have talent that you should not be limited to the profession of acrobat, so you need to go through more systematic and extensive learning to find the path you really want to take..."
Perhaps because Bruce had played the role of Dick in front of Schiller, he was more patient with Dick, and even explained to Dick the reason for his arrangement, which was very rare. In the past, Bruce would not explain the reason for his actions to anyone.
"Really? Do you really think... my talent is not bad?" Dick looked at Bruce and asked.
Bruce tried to recall the scene when he was with Schiller, and then he said to Dick: "Yes, it seems so at present, but what kind of achievements you can make depends on your grades in school..."
"Of course, don't forget that although your parents have returned to Blüdhaven, I can still call them to communicate. If your grades are not good, I think I can still invite them to Gotham..."
"I'm going to pack up!" Dick put Aisha down and turned around and ran. Bruce stood there and let out a sigh of relief. He found that it was very uncomfortable when the teacher asked his parents to come, but it was very useful and refreshing to threaten others.
Just this morning, Bruce, who was promoted to an elder for the first time, suddenly understood his university professor Schiller in a subtle way. It was indeed the position that determined the attitude.
After lunch at noon, Dick took Aisha to play on the lawn of the manor. Dick on the horizontal bar swung lightly, stretched out his arms and landed steadily on the horizontal bar, and then grabbed the horizontal bar with both hands. He turned over and landed on the ground in a beautiful posture. Aisha kept laughing and clapping.
Dick walked under the horizontal bar and planned to swing two more circles. At this moment, he suddenly found that there was a small piece of grass on the lawn not far from Aisha, which seemed to be blown down by the wind.
He just wanted to go over to check, and he felt a violent whirlwind blowing around him. He covered his face with his arms and took a few steps back. When he opened his eyes again, he found that Aisha was also blown down on the lawn.
He just wanted to go over and pick up Aisha, and he found a yellow light falling from the sky, and then a man in a yellow tights floated in the yellow light and suspended in the air.
Dick looked at him with wide eyes and said, "Who are you? Why are you here?"
At this time, Sinestro, who was in mid-air, was also very depressed.
The navigation of the lantern furnace only reached the vicinity of the earth's atmosphere. He had to find out which city the parallax monster had landed in by himself, but as soon as he landed near the earth, he was stopped by a Green Lantern named Hal.
When the Green Lantern saw that Sinestro was yellow, he punched him, and the two fought in the sky above the earth.
What Sinestro didn't expect was that Hal, a newly debuted and unknown Green Lantern, was so strong that Sinestro almost used up all the fear energy in his ring before he beat Hal into the sea.
Taking advantage of this gap, Sinestro quickly flew around the earth and finally found that the target that was sensitive to the fear energy was in Gotham on the east coast.
When he landed. I thought I would see the people possessed by the Parallax Monster turning this city into ruins, but I didn't expect that the city was surprisingly quiet. The buildings were not destroyed and the residents did not flee, as if nothing had happened.
In Sinestro's memory, this was almost impossible. The Parallax Monster was a chaotic creature and should not understand how the orderly world works at all. Therefore, it was unscrupulous in its destruction. When the Parallax Monster possessed him before, it had destroyed cities on several planets, and the Earth should not be spared.
What puzzled him even more was that after searching for a long time, he found that the breath of the Parallax Monster was coming from a human house, and when he came here, he found that in front of him was not the huge monster with fangs and a hideous face, but a...human little girl?
Sinestro looked down at the yellow lantern ring on his hand, then looked up at the little girl, and then looked down at the yellow lantern ring on his hand. After repeating it several times, he was sure that this was really the lantern beast of their Yellow Lantern Corps, the Parallax Monster.
Sinestro landed on the ground and said to the little girl, "How did you become like this? What are you doing here? Come back with me."
Elsa stared at her with her big eyes, showing resistance. Dick next to her saw Sinestro walking towards Elsa, and he ran over without thinking, stopped Sinestro, and said, "What are you doing? This is Wayne Manor!"
Sinestro didn't want to talk nonsense with humans at all. He waved his hand and Dick was hit by a yellow light and flew out. Elsa looked at his flying figure, widened her eyes, and then turned back to look at Sinestro.
Elsa opened her mouth and showed a mouthful of sharp teeth. Sinestro then confirmed that the parallax monster was disguised as a human.
Sinestro was about to reach out his hand, but in the next second, he saw the little girl take two steps back, take a deep breath, open her mouth, and look up...
Instantly, an incomparable scream pierced the sky above Gotham
"Daddy!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
