Chapter 52 The first day I can't hold on
Time passed quickly, and it was July again in a blink of an eye. Since global warming, summer has been getting hotter every year, and this year there are several high temperature days above 40°C.Such extreme weather made Nemo's clinic very busy.
He finally endured the stickiness all over his body, and looked at the last patient with a calm expression, and Dick came in from the door.
Nemo was not polite to him either, and asked him to help pack up his things, and then he went into the bedroom to take a shower first.
When he got out of the shower, Dick was still scratching his head at the messy documents on the table.
Nemo: ...you know you can't count on the young master from a rich family to do housework.
With some headaches, he pulled him away to tidy up, and after making sure no strangers would come in, he cast a cooling spell.
Dick looked amazed and couldn't help asking him curiously: "Excuse me, do you know that there is something called an air conditioner in this world?"
Nemo glared at him: "I have clothes in my bedroom!"
Dick didn't understand very much. He touched the "vertical air conditioner" that was working hard in the corner of the consulting room - the shaking head electric fan, and said: "You actually spend most of your day in the outside clinic, why don't you install one here too?" , Do you have no money? I can sponsor you an air conditioner."
"You can tell by looking at it that you don't understand the lives of the poor." Nemo enigmatically said.
Dick looked curious.
"There are very few people in the eastern district who can afford to install air-conditioning. If I install air-conditioning here, many people who are not seriously ill or who are not sick at all will line up to see a doctor, you know?"
The boy was lost in thought.
Nemo patted him on the shoulder, indicating that he was still young.
"Why did you come to see me today?" Nemo asked.
Dick thought about his business and said, "I booked a ticket for the day after tomorrow, so I'm here to say goodbye to you today."
Nemo came to a sudden: "Do you have to leave so early? Isn't school only starting in September?"
"There are still some preparations to be done, and Alfred will accompany me."
"Where's Bruce?" Nemo asked.
Dick was silent for a while before answering: "He has more important things to do. And I'm so old, I don't need him to accompany everything."
After speaking, he added: "What's more, Ah Fu is much more useful than him."
This is a matter between their father and son. Nemo felt that it was not appropriate for him to add insult to injury or help Bruce speak at this time, so he had to say: "Drink more hot water."
Dick looked at him helplessly, and finally laughed out loud.
Nemo thought for a while, and then said: "Some time ago, Bruce disclosed to the media his second adopted child, um, it was Jason. I haven't asked you how you feel, can you tell me?"
Dick smiled and showed tolerance: "He adopted Jason to make it easier for him to enroll in school. I also think this kid should go to school. I won't be unhappy about this kind of thing. But you, and Jay Sen has been with you for so long, and it turned out that he would rather be adopted by Bruce than return to you, are you sad?"
Nemo was really caught by him.
To be honest, there must be some sadness, but it's not as strong as being rejected by Jason when he first met.
So he said as objectively as possible: "This is a good thing for Jason. I know he likes to study very much, but he has never had the opportunity. Besides, I have never studied in school myself, let alone send him to school. And even if I think about it Well, with my ability, there is no way to send him to a school that is at least average. But Bruce is different. He provided Jason with quality learning opportunities, and, with his identity as a background, I believe that Jason's life will be easier in the future."
"You've said so much about Jason, so what about yourself?" Dick asked.
"Me?" Nemo smiled indifferently: "I'm not important, there's nothing to say."
This simple farewell meeting soon ended, and Nemo's life was still orderly and orderly.He felt that it was not bad as it was now, everything was unusual, and it would eventually return to peace.
Regarding Jason, Nemo was actually really happy for him.
Regarding Bruce's adoption of him, Batman mentioned it to him. He was quite surprised at first, but then he thought about it, this might be the best way Batman could think of to "look after" Jason.
He saved Dick's life, and Batman promised Jason a bright life.
It's a bargain.
But this idea stopped abruptly after seeing Batman followed by a Robin again a few months later.
At a large drug transaction site, someone photographed Batman and Robin.
When Batman no longer had Robin by his side, many people speculated that Robin might have been sacrificed. After all, the two-faced man kidnapped Robin and Batgirl in front of the entire Gotham audience.Afterwards, Batgirl still appeared occasionally, but Robin completely disappeared.
Some people with mysterious channels swore that Robin was dead, and the source of this news was Arkham.
But now, Robin appeared again.
This Robin is clearly younger than the previous one.There is reason to believe that Batman trained the new Robin.
Nemo looked at the blurry photo on the phone blankly.If he still can't recognize who Robin is in the photo, then he really has a heart and eyes for nothing.
He no longer cared about face and reserve, and directly dialed Bruce Wayne's cell phone number.
After the bell rang for a long time, the phone was finally picked up.
"Ok?"
There was a hoarse nasal voice mixed with sleepiness on the other end of the phone.
"Why?" Nemo asked coldly.
There was a chatter on the other end of the phone, and he asked, "Nemo?"
Nemo didn't want to talk nonsense with him, he asked directly: "Why did Jason become Robin? Why do you want every one of your children to be Batman's assistants? If you want to be a hero so much, you can do it yourself, you guys Why do you let a child bear these indifferently? Isn’t Dick giving you enough lessons? Or, because Jason wasn’t raised by you, it’s easier to endure his injury and death?!”
His voice grew louder until he was almost hysterical.
"Nemo... I'm sorry, I... persuaded him, but..."
Bruce didn't say who this 'he' was, and Nemo wasn't in the mood to listen, he said directly: "I don't want to tell you, Mr. Wayne, I don't want to listen to anything you say now, because I can't judge True or false. I want to see Batman, let him meet me tonight."
Before Bruce could answer, he hung up the phone directly.
After finishing the call, Nemo sat in his original position for a while.
Don't be angry, don't be angry.He kept persuading himself in his heart.
But he couldn't help it, and kicked the coffee table hard.
"damn thing!"
He gritted his teeth and cursed.
The night seemed to be coming very slowly, Batman did not appear for a long time, and Nemo stood by the window and looked out the window indifferently.
I don't know how long it took, but the black shadow finally came.
The window was always open, and the cold November wind had already blown through the entire bedroom.
"You should wear more." A rough and dull voice came from the voice changer.
Nemo looked at him coldly and didn't speak.
"You want to meet me."
"Why did you lie to me?" Nemo finally said.
He didn't answer Nemo, just said: "You add another dress, we go to talk elsewhere."
Nemo watched him for a while, then turned around and put on a coat.
On the Batmobile, the two had nothing to say all the way, and the two came to the Wayne Building at a fast speed.
"Are you afraid of heights?" Batman asked him, standing under the Wayn Tower.
Nemo was impatient and he couldn't get to the point: "I'm afraid of shit, can you find the main point?"
As soon as the words fell, Batman wrapped his arms around his waist, stretched out his right hand and climbed up the Wayn Tower.
"You... Mom..."
Before the curse was over, they were already standing on the gargoyle on the upper level of Riven Tower.
"What do you have to say here?" Nemo's tone was very unfriendly. Before the other party answered, he deliberately mocked: "Or are you going to push me down if you disagree?"
Batman ignored his meanness, and just said: "The gargoyle you stepped on is Jason's favorite one. Dick has been Robin for so many years, and he has stood on these gargoyles countless times, but he never I haven’t paid attention to these dozens of almost identical stones.”
Nemo really annoyed him, he raised his voice and said, "I don't want to talk to you about anything, I just want to ask you, why, lie to me?"
"I'm very sorry."
"What's the use of apologizing? Did you and Bruce plan to send Dick away, and then find a less important child to become Robin? You two can do it, and turn me around!"
Batman's voice was still very calm: "I didn't lie to you, Bruce adopted him, and I taught him, all this is to keep him from going on an irreversible path."
Nemo snorted: "What are you farting?"
"I went to take care of him at your request, and saw him getting more and more violent, and finally almost drowned another child in the water." Batman narrated in a low voice.
"I don't believe it." Nemo said coldly.
"This is Gotham, anything can happen, anyone can change, I have witnessed too much, and I have been disappointed too many times." He once again cast his sights on the Gothic buildings in the distance under the dense fog .
"That's not why you dragged him to be Robin!" Nemo asked angrily.
"I rejected him, but Jason is a very special child. I rejected Dick. Maybe Dick will be sad and disappointed, but Dick will not be stubborn. He will go on the road again and find life like this, but Jason, His emotions are too rich. He is paranoid and delicate, hard and soft. If I reject him, his obsession will only deepen. Maybe he will leave like you and him now, and then use his own way to realize his Ideal." Batman remained calm.
"How do you know he will insist?" Nemo asked indifferently
Batman continued: "Because that's who I am. I give up my name, I give up my identity, just to achieve an ideal."
"So have you realized it?" Nemo also followed his gaze, looking at this depressing and mysterious city together.
"No, I have given everything I have, but there is nothing I can do."
"So how dare you let another child go deep into this quagmire?" Nemo asked.
"Nothing is immortal, and so are ideals. Maybe he has seen enough and despaired enough, and he will give up."
"Then are you desperate?"
"I'm always in despair."
"Have you given up?"
This time Batman didn't answer, and after a while he asked inexplicably: "What do you think is here?"
"What?" Nemo asked.
"Gotham."
Nemo had never thought about that question, and he couldn't answer it.
"Gotham is the grave of all ideals, and I am her gravekeeper. I can't give up, and I will be buried here."
Batman told this Gotham passerby in a very flat tone the pale fate he chose.
