Bruce was lost in thought.

It was not the first time he had received from Schiller an idea he had never heard before, from a rather peculiar angle, but which seemed to make perfect sense, but this time the angle was particularly peculiar.

In a normal human being, laziness is wrong, but Schiller is now telling him that a person can become more terrible if he is not lazy.

In fact, Bruce knew in his heart that he had all the symptoms Schiller mentioned, and although he was getting better now, he still showed some symptoms.

The most typical thing is that since he was a child, Bruce has felt several times that when he has achieved some achievements, a voice in his heart is telling him that there is nothing to be happy about, just a trivial achievement.

But at the same time, another voice was telling him that you are a peerless genius who is different from everyone else, that you have achieved something that surpasses everyone else, and that you are a great person who has never been greater.

At a very young age, Bruce wondered if he was a little divided.

Why is there always one force that is suppressing his excitement, and at the same time, there is another force that is making him over-affirm himself?

Until he became an adult, Bruce didn't find a clear answer.

Today, he is hardly happy about what he has achieved, and at the same time, he already thinks from the bottom of his heart that he is a peerless genius.

Although, this is true, but think about it, where did the process that led to these two outcomes, these two mysterious forces, come from?

Bruce put his hands on the table, leaned forward, looked at Schiller and said, "You mean it's because I'm not lazy?" ”

"The inertia of the human brain is stronger than you think." Schiller stared into Bruce's eyes without blinking and said, "I think you must have read a theory that humans can be domesticated. ”

"It's the same with the brain, when you keep exercising a part of your mind, it becomes stronger, reacts faster, and executes stronger."

Bruce nodded, it wasn't a difficult and obscure piece of knowledge, even people who hadn't studied psychology had heard of it.

For example, the development and exercise of the left brain and the right brain, the vast majority of human body organs, within a reasonable range of exercise, are stronger and stronger, even if the vitreous deformation caused by excessive eye use, that is, myopia, is actually the result of exercising to become stronger.

"If you just keep doing things and have successful experiences, then your brain will only process similar emotions, which can lead to two outcomes, one is the chronic depression and depression, irritability and violence, and excessive arrogance and narcissism."

"Another situation is that in the face of sudden failure, your brain is unable to process negative emotions, resulting in these emotions, which cannot be balanced, leading to excessive pessimism, which leads to mental illness."

"That's why, in the eyes of many people, some people with depression, who were originally smooth sailing, suddenly became depressed when they encountered a little thing."

"In other words, the probability of successful people suffering from mental illness is higher than that of ordinary people, because their brains are not good at dealing with negative emotions when they fail, resulting in too deep and heavy emotions, unable to balance, and becoming ill over time."

Bruce looked down for a few minutes, then looked up at Schiller and said, "Then how did you get the trait of laziness?" ”

"It took me about a couple of years to piece together all sorts of negative personality traits to come up with a name called laziness, but in reality, a four-like stitch monster."

Schiller touched the corner of his forehead, and while recalling, he said: "At that time, my attitude towards psychotherapy was not much better than yours, and most of the time, it was mainly teasing. ”，

"At that time, my attitude towards the psychiatrist's homework was similar to your attitude towards my paper, the night before I handed in my homework, I started to live and die, and I could hand in something tomorrow." ，

Bruce looked at Schiller's face, and he now knew why Schiller could tell every time that whose paper in the class had been rushed the night before.

Because I used to be in the rain, I tore all the students' umbrellas, right?

"But then I realized, and the doctor was right, that some parts of my brain were completely rusty because I wasn't exercising regularly, and I had to find a way to get them moving."

"So, I started to build the personality trait of laziness very carefully, but in fact, it was very difficult." Schiller shook his head and said, "It's completely counterintuitive, I didn't feel any inexplicable resistance, it's too hard to have to imagine that there is such resistance, and to make things fail because of it." ”

"Until I came to Gotham, this personality was still a four-like."

"However, because the city is really dangerous, I did mess up some things, and I experienced failures much more often than before, so it helped me build this personality trait." ，

After saying that, Schiller began to count on his fingers: "Catwoman stole the diamond bottle containing the symbiote, Green Lantern made a havoc in the psychiatric hospital and caused me to lose an office, Hal destroyed the central turntable and caused me to get stuck in traffic, the Owl Court broke my car on the way to annual leave, went out to spend annual vacation and got seasick and ended up on a desert island, your helicopter engine blew up my tower, Batcat and Pikachu blew up my house, ......"

Bruce covered his forehead, he felt that the trace of sympathy that had just appeared in his heart must be his hallucination, he didn't notice that Schiller's life in the past four years was as wonderful as his.

"In short, under my deliberate indulgence, although the people who caused these things had a little accident, the failures have all become real failures, and I have no intention of reversing them."

"At this stage, the trait of laziness has gradually changed from a stitching monster to an independent trait, with the ability to move independently, and the next turning point has happened recently."

"The arrogance, which was originally divided into two halves, is gradually becoming one, and the most powerful greed has also gained more power, but in fact, this process is the biggest failure for both of them, and they have suffered a great blow."

Hearing Schiller's words, Bruce gradually frowned, he thought about it carefully, the original Schiller was also a natural murderer, therefore, there are also characteristics that other natural murderers have.

The best thing to break their defenses is not to debate with them and convince them, but to completely ignore and ignore them.

What arrogant did and arranged was actually completely uncared about by his friends, which was indeed a big blow to him.

"Their failures, the negative emotions generated, can reverse the personality traits of laziness, but at the same time, they gain more powerful power and can increase the strength of the personality fragments, and in this way, real laziness is born."

"And the reason why I say that I am mediocre and ordinary is precisely because from then on, I have all the traits that ordinary people should have." Schiller also leaned forward, stared into Bruce's eyes and said:

"For me now, thinking and emotions are like a mystery, and I can no longer control that sophisticated machine, shield what I want to shield, and leave what I want to keep."

"When I do something, I also feel inexplicable resistance that makes me want to give up, and after giving up, because I didn't achieve results, I will think about how good it would have been if I hadn't given up at that time."

At the same time, I have also lost most of the foresight that can be brought by precise calculations and rational judgments, simply put, I have lost the ability to make hundreds of bends around one thing, like ordinary people, take one step at a time."

"What's in it anyway?" Bruce asked puzzledly, "You went to great lengths to turn yourself into a weakling?" ”

Schiller shook his head helplessly and said, "Did you listen carefully to what I said before?" Do you think that ordinary people are more miserable than you, so they are all weak? Is it possible that ordinary people are actually much happier than you? ”

Schiller was like facing a piece of rotten wood, he had to take a deep breath, stand up, put his hands on the table, looked at Bruce and said, "I ask you, what are you getting stronger for?" ”

"To save the world?" Bruce replied, somewhat uncertain.

"And what do you get to save the world?"

"I don't want anything." Bruce was a little more determined.

"No, you want to be happy." Schiller looked him in the eye condescendingly and said, "So, why can't I give up my ability to save the world and just trade it for happiness?" ”

Bruce pursed his lips, looking very disapproving, and he asked the question: "If you turned into a normal person, how would you deal with those serial killers that followed?" ”

"I said don't think of ordinary people as fools, as long as there is no special mental illness and the ability does not exceed a certain limit, they are all ordinary people, is there no detective among ordinary people?"

"Are you sure the detective can take out two serial killers in three nights? Perhaps, there are more than two. Bruce said, looking Schiller up and down.

"If only you could write your essay with the same imagination as you do now." Schiller rolled his eyes.

With that, he stood up, walked over to the phone on the cabinet, picked up the receiver, and dialed, Schiller said over there.

"Sheriff Gordon, yes, I recently learned that a serial killer has targeted me, and I want to be protected by the police...... Oh, yes? Okay, I'll go to the Gotham Police Station later. ”

When Schiller put down the phone, the early morning light was just shining into the room, and the newsboy ran through the door of the room with a puff of smoke and threw a brand new newspaper into the newspaper delivery slot on the top of the cabinet.

Schiller picked up the newspaper he had just delivered, unfolded the newspaper as he went, and walked back to Bruce, who pointed to his left hand and said, "You've got ink on your hands, aren't you really going to wear finger covers?" ”

Schiller snapped the newspaper shut, tilted his head sideways, and looked at Bruce from above his glasses.

"If your hands get dirty, you can wash them."
