Selena still left, Bruce couldn't stop her, his blocking action was only replaced by three blood marks on his face, and when the blood dripped down, the strong smell of blood made him feel a little dizzy.

Back in the Batcave, donning the batsuit, and standing over Gotham again, he finds that he doesn't seem to be needed anywhere.

Schiller no longer pressed him to turn in his papers, no longer called him every few hours to inquire about progress, repeatedly called him into the office to discuss the details of the papers, and Schiller lowered his requirements to give him time to return to Batman's identity.

Alfred took care of Aisha's schooling without him having to do it himself, and Dick found his place in the new school, resumed his social activities, and no longer had to worry about his mental state.

Aisha is very happy in the kindergarten, there is no expected attack or want to escape, not only can she spend the daytime perfectly, but even when she sleeps, she does not need someone to accompany her to tell stories.

Selena is gone, and Batman no longer has to spend time on dates or waste time fighting criminals to go around the city with her.

Now, Batman has plenty of time to do what he wants, such as patrolling Gotham every night to fight criminals, develop more and better gear, set up more cameras, monitor more places, and keep everything under control.

But now, he just stood on the roof of the Wayne Building, thinking nothing in his head, not doing anything in action.

Bruce Wayne's identity is completely empty, he has finally reached the state he dreamed of, no one needs Bruce Wayne anymore, everyone just needs Batman.

But for some reason, Batman's movements began to lag, he was no longer so decisive and resolute, and now, he was thinking about why it was all happening.

He has abandoned all his weak qualities and is no longer bound by mundane trivialities, but his posture is not so chic, and his mentality is not so free.

He was more like being kicked out by the vast world under the clouds, and the reason why these weak ordinary people kicked him out was that he was useless.

Is it because God is really superior to man, or is it because man feels that he is useless in society?

Is God just social garbage in another sense?

So what is the difference between him and those criminals who have been excluded from society?

Batman found that he had a desire to prove that Bruce was not useless, but at the same time, he felt ridiculous about this idea, because it was Batman who looked down on Bruce the most.

Contradictory emotions stirred in his chest, and once again the inability to be self-consistent logic, made him return to the confusion of the time when he had just become Batman, so he wanted to go to Schiller.

Schiller would ask him difficult questions, but at least they would give him a direction in his thinking, and if there was a direction, there might be answers.

Batman arrives on the campus of Gotham University, he knows that Schiller and Jason should still be in the empty classroom, and without thinking about it, he jumps from the top of the building and falls onto the balcony of the classroom.

However, there was no Schiller in the classroom, only Jason, who was so engrossed in reading that he didn't notice a shadow on his head.

When he finally wanted to take a break, he realized that Batman had been staring at him for dozens of minutes.

Jason was startled and almost fell off his stool when he heard Batman ask, "Where's Professor Schiller?"

"He...... He's not here." Jason swallowed and said, "He's going to help Professor Victor debug the freezer's instruments......

"What are you looking at?" Batman asked again.

Jason glanced down at the book he was reading, and he said, "Famous psychologists and their theories."

"Can you read it?" Batman asked.

"I guess I can understand something." Jason took the book, tilted his head and said, "I just finished reading the theory of the psychologist named Freud, and now I'm reading Jung's, and I heard that the two of them are friends......

Batman stood silent, Jason looked at him, and after a while, he put the book down, looked at Batman and said, "You seem to be a little unhappy, why?"

Batman didn't speak, just said, "When will Professor Schiller return?"

"Not necessarily, maybe not coming back tonight." Jason replied.

"And what are you doing here?"

"Read!" Jason shook the book in his hand and said, "Didn't I tell you everything? I'm looking at theories from famous psychologists all over the world."

Glancing at Batman again, Jason said, "You seem to be feeling sad, are you having any difficulties?"

Batman was stunned for a moment, he was the first time he was pointed out that he was sad by someone, and even Schiller didn't say so.

Jason put his hands on his head and said, "I remember, the last time I saw you, you weren't very happy, but today is especially sad, why?"

"Why do you think I'm bad?" Batman asked.

"Instinct it." Jason shrugged his shoulders and said, "My instincts have always been accurate, and that's what the Capuch-tails rely on. to be able to stand firm."

Without waiting for Batman to say anything, Jason slapped the book in his hand on the table, and the spine of the book collided with the wooden tabletop with a crisp sound.

He pointed to the above sentence and said, "Look, this is the most interesting point in Jungian's theory, which is called the "personality mask", do you know what a personality mask is?"

"Oh, you're also a student of Professor Schiller, so you should also know that, in short, Jung said, people have to put a personal mask on themselves in order to adapt to all kinds of social rules."

"We will consciously behave in response to the subtle requirements of various professions, and once the behavior is contrary to the rules of society, people will be regarded as fools."

"I think it's really interesting because sometimes, I can feel it."

"For example, in Gotham survival, you can't show weakness, everyone knows this rule, and they all know that the other side is bluffing, but we don't break it."

"I rely on my strong personality to lead the Capuchin Gang to survive, but in fact, the same is true of the bosses of the other gangs that I scared, we all know that each other wears masks, and whoever can gain the advantage depends on whose mask sticks tighter."

"Do you have a mask?" Jason asked, looking at Batman.

Batman looked into Jason's eyes, and he even suspected that the kid in front of him was Schiller's change, because, he asked another question that Batman couldn't answer.

Does Batman have a mask?

Of course he has, his mask is Bruce Wayne, Batman is a real personality, and Bruce Wayne is the mask.

If according to Jung's theory, Bruce Wayne is the personality mask produced by Batman that meets social expectations, a rich, uneducated, and flowery rich second generation.

The function of the personality mask is to allow people to live a normal life in society, so that people can be a member of society and not be abandoned by society, and if you break through the mask, you will face such risks.

Just like the existence of Batman, a superhero with no mask at all, completely violates Gotham's social norms, and as a result, he is abandoned by Gotham's society and is unable to participate in normal social life.

Pointing to one of them, Jason said: "Jung felt that it was dangerous for a person's actual personality to be completely subservient to the mask of personality, and that if a person made social acceptance his greatest goal, he was likely to submit to whatever society expected of him."

"In this case, he will have no character of his own at all, and the purpose of his life will become what the group expects most, and in order to meet the expectations, they may do all kinds of wrong things."

And Jason pointed to a sentence annotated next to the text and said:

"It seems to have been commented by Professor Schiller, who said that the personality mask needs to have a push and a pull, and if you focus too much on social expectations, you should guide him to focus on his own needs, and if he is too focused on his own needs, he should be guided to pay attention to social expectations."

"The stability of the personality mask can only be maintained when one's own needs and social expectations are balanced, otherwise one will fall into the fear of disappointment on both sides."

Batman's fingertips moved and he asked, "Did he tell me how to balance?"

Jason shook his head and said, "Professor Schiller didn't write it, maybe he can't write it here."

Then he thought about it for a while, and then said seriously, "I don't think it's that complicated, sometimes, if you meet other people's expectations, you will be unhappy, but if you are happy, you will disappoint others."

"But, at the end of the day, the people who really love you want you to be happy, and they will definitely want you to do what you like."

"If a person tells you that you do what you like and make me unhappy, then he definitely doesn't really love you, or he thinks he loves you, but he just wants to control you."

"And if I'm willing to sacrifice a certain amount of time to someone who really loves me, not to do what I like, but to do what will make them happy, isn't that what love is? I want you to be happy, and you want me to be happy......

"How can you tell if someone really loves you?" Batman asked.

"Didn't I say it all?" Again, Jason emphasized: "If a person wants you to do what he loves, and at the same time is willing to spend energy to do what makes you happy, then he must love you."

At that moment, Batman thought of many people's names, and he was shocked by the number of names, so he froze in place.

There are really a lot of people who want him to be Batman, and who are willing to spend energy to make it easier for him to be Batman, in a broad sense.

Alfred knew that Batman's career was dangerous, but he never said anything to stop him, and at the same time took care of his life carefully, so that he had no worries.

Catwoman really likes the identity of Batman, she sincerely thinks Batman is cool, and at the same time, she is even willing to restrain herself and steal less to please him.

Dick has always admired Batman and wants to learn from him, and at the same time, when Batman is out of control, try to avoid it and not stimulate him.

And Gordon, Harvey, and...... Schiller?

Thinking of Schiller, Batman is a little confused, why is Schiller's name on the list?

Just then, a voice came from outside the door: "Jason, I'm back, where do you see it?" …… Batman, why are you here???

Batman was just about to speak, Schiller who walked in, pointed an umbrella at Batman, and in the teaching building on a rainy night, Schiller's roar came:

"Batman!! You don't learn on your own!! I still want to bring bad people?!!!

Two minutes later, Batman, who was running for his life on a rainy night, thought, Schiller? He is an "ordinary person" living in the human world, and Batman is a god who has been kicked out of the world.

Between man and God, love has no commonality, but hatred goes both ways, and it is very long.
