Chapter 381 Red Hood (Part )
Chapter 381 Red Hood (Part )
As we all know, I am a good writer, so let's switch the perspective back to Gotham and see what Chen Yan is doing now...
-------------------------------------
As an industrial city, Gotham's weather has never been very good, comparable to a foggy London that doesn't want to be named.
However, London may be simply due to the local climate, while Gotham...the smog in this place is simply smog, because there are too many heavy industries.
Fortunately, today is a rare sunny day.
Below the Gotham Clock Tower, several heavy-duty trucks are parked in an orderly manner, and many workers are unloading. They are wearing neat work clothes. Both the uniforms and the trucks have a blue background with a light gold " W" mark, but the mark seems to have been deliberately designed to look like the head of a trident.
This is the LOGO of Wayne Group.
On the side, two young men were chatting with a young man with a curvy butt, and were helping the workers unload the goods. This made the workers a little scared because they were the adopted sons of their boss.
Oh, what three friendly little birds.
"I withdraw my praise for Mr. Brad. The reward he wants is much more troublesome than Slade." Our handsome Mr. Nightwing's face was full of annoyance, "Slade only needs to transfer money, but Brad actually wants us Help him unload!”
"First of all, this is not asking you to help me unload the goods, but it is part of the training." At the gate of the bell tower, Chen Yan leisurely walked out with a cigarette in his mouth, with an indifferent smile on his face, "You have learned There are many martial arts, but I don’t have much to teach you in terms of techniques, I can only help you improve your physical fitness.”
"I always feel that Bruce is wasting his money..." Jason unloaded a box half as tall as him from the car with an expressionless face, and complained seriously, "Although I am very grateful for your medicine, Bruce Mr. Ladd, but are you sure you want us to waste our time on such a pointless thing?”
"It's meaningless... Mr. Todd, I think your words are a bit hurtful." The smile on Chen Yan's face gradually disappeared, "The workers of Wayne Group are doing what you call 'meaningless' every day. things, and it is these 'meaningless' things that support the huge business machine of Wayne Group."
"That's not what I meant. You know what I'm talking about." Jason glared at Chen Yan without showing any signs of weakness. "I can't wait until the end to tell Bruce that I've been moving goods here at the clock tower for a month, right?"
"The other little guys haven't arrived in Gotham yet, why are you in a hurry?" Old God Chen Yan puffed out a puff of smoke like a dragon, "It looks like you little birds still need to hone your character... Being so impatient is far worse than your dad."
"Mr. Todd, come with me. Mr. Grayson, please take Mr. Drake with you to continue supervising the work."
"Huh?" Dick was stunned. After all, Chen Yan suddenly used such a formal address, which made him a little uncomfortable, but he still asked the question he wanted to ask immediately, "Where are you taking Jason?"
"Where else can we go? Inside the clock tower." Chen Yan blinked, "There's no way I can kidnap Bruce's precious son away."
"..."
Dick looked at Chen Yan silently, turned around and pulled Tim away.
Let's move the goods... In the coming month, this kind of "extracurricular activities" may not happen once a week...
Chen Yan led Jason into the bell tower. Along the way, the two did not communicate. Jason hesitated several times, but seeing that Chen Yan didn't pay attention to him at all, he had to keep his words in his heart.
However, Chen Yan did not take Jason to the stronghold of the Bell Tower, but took Jason all the way to the top of the Bell Tower.
It is already winter, and there are gusts of cold wind blowing from the top of the bell tower from time to time.
This is not the first time Jason has watched the city from a high place like this, but every time he looks at the city, Jason always feels inexplicably irritable.
Perhaps it was because there were so many sins buried in this city, and he was powerless to change them all.
"Let's talk?" Chen Yan glanced at Jason, who was expressionless and aloof next to him, and said softly, "Don't imitate Batboy's dead face. You should smile more at your age."
"The last person who told me that was Joker." Jason said coldly. After experiencing Mr. Zhou Keer's fatal joke, he now has PTSD from the word smile. "Bruce asked you and Deathstroke to train. We, I have no complaints, but I hope you won’t act like an old woman and nag about things I don’t want to do.”
I can only say that he is worthy of being born in the alleys of Gotham City, a city with simple folk customs. This is the first time I have seen Chen Yan get frustrated in chatting.
"Before the formal training, I think it is necessary to have a chat with you. There is an old saying in the Yan Kingdom, 'Teach students in accordance with their aptitude.'" Chen Yan sighed softly, sat down by himself, and looked into the distance, "You guys from the Bat Family These little birds are not very economical, let alone the batch that will come later... You know what the stinky bat is thinking, just let Slade train you, even I will be dragged into trouble."
"You're a special guy, Jason Todd, in every sense of the word."
"I heard Dick say that our stories in your world are all comic plots... I really want to know what kind of person I am in the comics." Jason walked up to Chen Yan at this time and said seriously Said, "What you said about me before...I think it suits me very well."
"You want to find your own path, I know." Chen Yan nodded noncommittally, "Bruce's path is indeed not suitable for you. After all, your attitude towards criminals seems to me to be more like a normal person."
"I always feel that you are mocking other people..." Jason was not happy because of Chen Yan's praise. He sat next to Chen Yan and rolled his eyes, "Bruce said that if we cross that line, we There is no difference between him and a criminal."
"Perhaps you should ask him to ask the GCPD police officers. Maybe just picking someone out to patrol the streets could empty the magazine for a dark-skinned guy..."
Chen Yan talked trash in a serious manner, but Jason didn't refute...because what he said was the truth.
"Bruce doesn't want you to be the person in the comics, Jason, because in the comics you have already discarded the principles of the Bat Family." Chen Yan said pointedly, "Nightwing, Red Robin, Batgirl... …These people who have become or are about to become members of the Bat Family are all determined to follow Bruce’s teachings. They may handle some details differently, but most of them reach the same goal through different paths...Only you.”
"You are different from them."
"So...I killed someone?" Jason said in shock.
"It's almost the same, mainly because of the big difference in behavior patterns." Chen Yan looked at Jason's chest, "The blood-red bat logo... If you inherit that damn cloak, I believe Gotham's security will be improved very quickly. Get better."
"After all, whether in comics or other works, your name can make the criminals in Gotham tremble."
"Name? Robin?" Jason asked blankly, "I thought only the name Batman would make criminals afraid..."
"Although stinky bats are scary, they never kill people..." Chen Yan smiled slightly, "But if the bat on the guy's chest is red, then those criminals will probably have to run like crazy for their lives, because there is nothing funny about that guy. 'No killing principle'..."
"And that guy's code name is Red Hood."
