"You may think that I am complimenting you, and in your life, you may have met many people who have complimented you against their will."

"But you can think about it, what is the difference between me and them? What do I get by spending so much time complimenting you? ”

Before Schiller could finish his question, Magneto's expression indicated that he was lost in thought.

After Schiller said that, his first reaction was indeed disbelief, because it sounded too much like flattery.

Moreover, it is more like sycophancy that does not shoot the idea, and there is an ironic style.

After Magneto became famous, it was not without people who asked for him, smiling and flattering him.

However, the main aspect of this group of people's praise is Magneto's powerful power, and this kind of praise is the least likely to make mistakes.

This group of people had done a lot of homework before they came into contact with Magneto, and they knew that if they praised Magneto's temper and character, it would sound too much like mockery.

The whole world knows that Magneto has a bad temper and is still a terrorist, so I have to go to his ear and say, I really appreciate your character, isn't this looking for death?

So, this was almost the first time Magneto had heard that someone appreciated his charisma, so, at that moment, his first reaction was disbelief.

Before Schiller's question was asked, Magneto's method of analysis began to change from intuition to rational thinking, and he was originally a more rational person, preferring to use logical judgment for any reaction of anyone.

However, from a logical point of view, this matter is even more bizarre.

Schiller had no need to praise him, and he would not receive any additional benefit from flattery.

Of course, Schiller may want to use Magneto's powerful power again, but Magneto knows that if Schiller uses the same trading method as before, that is, to give the mutant brotherhood and mutants overall benefits, to hire Magneto to help him, not only will it be more troublesome, but he also does not need to let go of his dignity.

It is not necessary for a person who is capable enough to gain an advantage in social matters.

Schiller obviously belongs to this kind of person, he can use his own plan to make everyone follow his arrangement, so there is no need to smile at anyone, but he just praised Magneto.

Although Magneto's heart was still more inclined to disbelief, he had already wavered a little, and at this time, Schiller then spoke:

"I know. You don't believe it, I really praise you, but have you ever wondered why you don't believe other people's praise? Is this the nature of human beings? ”

Magneto had just fallen into thought, and before he could come up with an answer, Schiller asked himself: "Of course not, human beings just rejoice in other people's compliments, it's human nature." ”

"Of course, there will be some people who don't have much confidence in themselves, who feel that other people's praise is false, and feel that they are not so good, but I don't think you are such a person, you have absolute confidence in your own ability, otherwise you will never be able to achieve such a strong control."

Magneto tapped the wall of the cup with his fingertips, and slowly stopped, even though he didn't answer, he knew it. Schiller is telling the truth.

Mutants' control over their abilities is sometimes idealistic, that is, the more they feel that their abilities will get out of control, the easier it is for them to lose control.

And the more confident you are in yourself, the more you can make the mutant ability like a finger, and the more you can use it, and the powerful Magneto King is obviously the latter.

Magneto has never been a man with low self-esteem, or rather, he has become arrogant enough to think that he can control everything in the universe.

But a person who is so confident and even arrogant, when facing the praise of others, his first reaction is still not to believe it, and there is obviously something wrong with this.

"Of course, you may also suspect that I am planning to do wrong, and this reaction may also come from your suspicions."

"But your reason is telling you that if I want to benefit from you, I don't have to say nice things to you, and I have a quicker and less labor-conscious way."

"So. After your intellect has come to this conclusion, why are you still resisting believing that I am genuinely praising you? ”

Schiller's questions came after another, so that Magneto didn't even have time to care if he had lost control of the topic.

Schiller's every question was asked in his heart, and he himself felt doubts, so he didn't realize that he was following Schiller's train of thought.

After perceiving that neither personality nor rational judgment was enough to cause him to resist, Magneto also began to wonder why he felt it. Didn't Schiller really praise him?

A person who is inclined towards reason and logic spends his life in pursuit of the exact answer in the logical link, and the same is true of Magneto, if there is one joint that he does not figure out, he will think about it repeatedly and ignore the others.

At this time, Schiller spoke again: "Perhaps, the answer is simpler than you think, it has nothing to do with your own personality, emotions, and IQ, is it possible, just because of the 'herd mentality'?" ”

"Herd mentality......" Magneto gently recited these few terms, but it was actually only literal, and there was nothing to understand in depth.

At this time, Magneto had not yet understood the trick, and Schiller duly explained:

"When people around you say 'no', individuals will be more inclined to 'no', and when people around you have a bad evaluation of something, even if you haven't practiced it yourself, there is a greater probability that you will make a negative evaluation of it."

"This is not actually a weakness of human nature, but a by-product of the continuous self-domestication and establishment of collective consciousness by human beings since the establishment of social society."

"People don't like to behave differently from other people, it's not that they don't have personality, it's just that their instinct is that where the vast majority of people go, the danger will be lower."

"And what has happened to you is, in fact, apart from me, very few people have sincerely praised you, my opinion is contrary to the public's opinion, and you have already accepted the public's opinion, so when I objected to this, your first reaction was not to accept it."

"It's not because you have low self-esteem, it's not because you're suspicious, it's just because you've accepted the views of the majority and stood with the masses."

Magneto's expression instantly stiffened, and for the first time he heard someone say that he was standing with the public, and then, he showed a sneer and said, "...... The joke is not funny at all. ”

"Do you think that you are an unconventional person who does not go along with ordinary people?" Schiller asked again.

Magneto was silent and didn't answer, but his eyes said it all.

If Magneto was really a person who was good at integrating into the society of ordinary people, he would not be alone in the Andromeda Galaxy now.

As soon as he thought of this, Magneto found that Schiller had used so many steps to lay a trap for him.

If he says that he is an unlikable person who does not deserve to be praised by others, it means that his views are consistent with the public, and what Magneto hates most in his life is that group of ordinary people, and he would rather die than go along with this group of people.

And if, if he wants to contradict the popular opinion, then he must feel that he is worthy of liking and praise, then his opinion will be in line with Schiller's view, that is, he must accept Schiller's praise and admit that his good intentions are not motivated by profit, but from the bottom of his heart.

Magneto has never truly accepted the praise of others in his life, nor has he acknowledged the kindness of others.

Whichever path Magneto chooses, he must take a step that he has never taken.

Magneto looked into Schiller's eyes, narrowed his eyes slowly, and then, in a slightly strange tone, said, "Looks like this isn't the first time you've done this, doctor." ”

But to Magneto's surprise, Schiller didn't stare at him silently as before, forcing him to give an answer.

He just picked up the glass of water in front of him, took a sip, and said:

"Eric, the tea is a little cold, drink it."

Magneto didn't pay any attention to the water glass, his eyes were fixed on Schiller, because Schiller's reaction was beyond his expectations.

Schiller's words are actually equivalent to eradicating the trap himself, and Magneto can use this to change the topic, instead of having to make the dilemma just now.

What puzzled Magneto was that Schiller did it on purpose, he deliberately handed Magneto a step and asked him to change the subject, instead of using his carefully arranged language trap to force Magneto to take a new step.

This made Magneto even more confused about Schiller's goal, just now it was a good time to break his psychological defense, the tip of the knife was already against his forehead, why did he take it back again?

Suddenly, Magneto was stunned for a moment, he turned his attention to the teacup, thinking of the action he had just done.

Previously, Schiller described him as a defeated dog who had been kicked off the earth, so he took control of the teacup and pressed it against Schiller's forehead.

In fact, Magneto had the ability to control the teacup and pour water on Schiller's face.

Or let the teacup not move at all, even if Schiller touches it with his hand, or pulls it hard, it will not move half a minute.

It wouldn't do Schiller any harm, it would just embarrass him, but he didn't choose to do it.

And when Schiller controlled a sharp knife forged out of words and pressed it against Magneto's head, he could obviously keep asking for an answer and forcing Magneto to make a choice.

This doesn't do any psychological damage to Magneto, it just makes him look like a fool who doesn't notice the language trap and falls inadvertently.

At this point, Magneto realized that from the moment he entered the door, Schiller did not make any action and not a single sentence that was superfluous, including what he said just now, "The tea is cold, drink it quickly".

This sentence is not only a step, but also a bell when the correct answer is announced.

If you don't rely on strength and don't respect me, I won't persecute you because of the victory of words.

At this time, Magneto thought again, why didn't Schiller move when he put the teacup against Schiller's forehead?

Magneto did not feel that Schiller was incapable of resolving this crisis in a more elegant manner.

But Schiller did nothing, just waited quietly, until the slowly calming water gave him a signal, and then proceeded with the next move with great caution.

Magneto also thought that since Schiller entered the room, he had not placed anything he was carrying on any surface other than the ground, and this kind of action was obviously done by restraining ordinary social instincts.

Magneto's mind began to hover over and over again, Schiller didn't need to do this at all, so why did he do this?

Why should Schiller be so polite in the face of a terrorist?

If this is just Schiller's instinct, then he is really noble and terrible, if this is Magneto's special courtesy, then how can he be virtuous?

Could it be that Schiller really thinks differently from ordinary people about Magneto? Don't you really think Magneto is a nuisance, hard to get close to?

Did Schiller really really believe that spending extra effort to express kindness would pay off?

Magneto let out a long sigh, no one had ever heard Magneto sigh before, he was always cold, serious, and imposingly powerful.

But when Schiller picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, the tea was no longer a little bitter because it was slightly cold, but on the contrary, it was heated to just the right temperature for the mouth.

As the white mist rose, the scent of tea wafted through the room, and Schiller gently raised his teacup at Magneto.

He seemed to have something ready to say, but when he opened his mouth, he lowered his head again and said quite implicitly:

"Just because you like old wine doesn't mean you don't like new tea, does it?"
