Bruce put the lettuce in his mouth for the first time, but he only chewed it mechanically and said in the same mechanical tone:

"The next trap is even more obvious, you have created an artificial weakness for me, and that is Hallie as a child, you know, I am compassionate to children, whether she is a good child or not."

"When Hallie said that something was going on with you, I should have suspected it, it is very likely that you said something to Mrs. Miller, for example, to come to your place at the appointed time to get your medical records, and Hallie will come here at that time, this is not a coincidence at all, it is another trap."

"And then, it's another conversation between you and Valentine." As Bruce said this, Schiller tapped the plate again with the tip of his knife, and Bruce fell silent, and Schiller spoke:

"What you didn't notice was that he was deliberately polite and patient, and you think he was letting your guard down? No, he's telling him in another way that he's different from me, adding to your strangeness and putting you under psychological pressure. ”

"People have both professional and life-oriented sides, when people bring the professional side into life, it will put pressure on relatives and friends, but if people bring some habits of life into the profession, it will also make people feel strange and confused."

"What were you doing in the second class of your junior year, when you were doing the debate topic of 'the excitement of novelty and the pressure of strangeness'?"

Schiller stared into Bruce's eyes and said, "You've got all the easy questions wrong and you've overlooked all the difficult points." ”

"The multiple-choice questions are all wrong, and you don't write a word on the big questions, Bruce, answer me, what do I have to do to get you out of this sea of learning suffering???"

Bruce took a bean into his mouth, Schiller took a few deep breaths, calmed down, tapped the plate and said, "Go on." ”

"Next, you dissected Valentine, and the process was very exciting...... Unfortunately, I listened again. ”

Bruce sniffled, as if he didn't have the strength to describe too much, and he continued, "Next, the scariest part, your analysis of yourself. ”

"But I insist that this part is not my fault." Bruce gritted his teeth, then said, "Your logic is too self-consistent. ”

"Is it too self-consistent, or are you too interested?" Schiller leaned forward again, stared at Bruce and said, "Bruce, tell me how many times I have stressed that you should not be interested in the inner world of any mentally ill person!" ”

Schiller said it almost word for a moment, and Bruce could only watch him in silence.

Because Schiller has almost turned this sentence into a mantra in his four years of teaching, even the most unlearned students in the class must have remembered this sentence.

But Bruce knew that he was still interested.

"You can't actually eat poison just because it's tempting enough, so what's the difference between you and a rat stupid enough to be poisoned?" Schiller asked, raising his voice.

"I'm a bat, not a mouse." Bruce replied in a low voice.

Schiller suddenly laughed, he looked at Bruce and said, "Do you remember that you were Batman?" In the final act, why the hell are you going to deal with those serial killers instead of just me? ”

"I can't ......," Bruce began, but he hesitated, looked Schiller in the eye and said, "I can't go with a serial killer against you, can I?" Isn't that on the side of criminals? ”

"But when you go with me to deal with a serial killer, aren't you standing with the criminals?!"

Bruce was silent.

"And one last point." Schiller looked at Bruce with frowning eyes and said, "In the second half semester of your freshman year, have you remembered even one sentence of the cause of the Stockholm complex?" ”

Bruce closed his eyes, lowered his head and said, "People who are imprisoned in a closed environment will constantly abandon their principles, lower their standards, and even develop attachment because of the murderer. ”

"Do you think that as long as it is not a violent kidnapping, and there is no beating or injury, it is not considered captivity?"

Schiller stared into Bruce's eyes and said, "Do you still think that it was your own choice to stay in that space, so it was your fault?" What is it? Answer me, Bruce? ”

"Emotional control and abuse." Bruce covered his eyes and said, "It's common in groups, creating an environment where there are no other options, and then having the victim take the initiative to make the choices the killer wants, and after causing serious consequences, make the victim think that it was a mistake of their own choice." ”

Schiller put down the cutlery in his hand, swiped his hand forward, and said: "The point of the Stockholm complex is that the control of the victim's means of subsistence will bring the murderer a higher position than the victim. ”

"Contrary to popular belief, murderers are not very cruel, nor do they treat victims in a violent and abusive way, they are often very charismatic, and their attitudes are also very patient and gentle, and they even express their compulsion to the victims, showing their vulnerability."

"Being in a high position, but lowering your posture, you can get the sympathy of the victim, and then the victim will feel that the murderer actually loves him."

"Patients with the Stockholm complex are not masochists as the public knows, they only think that the murderer is doing this to them for love, it is a last resort, and they are insincere."

"They want to reciprocate their imaginary love in order to show attachment to the murderer."

"So, Roman's shot ......," Bruce said as he looked at Schiller, who continued with his words: "To show you, I am a victim of a serial murderer, and I have a vulnerable side, and I can be hurt, and I have to do it, and I can't help it." ”

"Batman, don't you think it's crazy to sacrifice yourself like a criminal?" Schiller stared into Batman's eyes and said, "Do you remember who you are?!" ”

Bruce lowered his head, not wanting Schiller to see his eyes and, more importantly, not wanting Schiller to see that look of panic.

He didn't expect that after such a long period of study, he still stepped into the trap step by step, without any ability to resist at all.

Even in the end, after he had mutilated himself by this series of traps and made himself extremely weak, he was even moved by the fact that he would choose Schiller without hesitation.

Bruce closed his eyes and leaned his head back in his chair, not understanding what kind of discipline psychology was that could make him like this.

Schiller lowered his head, put a piece of vegetable into his mouth and chewed, he looked at Bruce helplessly, and said, "You ruined my graduation exam." ”

"Bruce, Bruce." Schiller looked at Bruce and kept calling him, until Bruce looked up at him, and then Schiller said, "In my teaching career, I have never passed so many questions to any student. ”

"I concocted a lot of serial killers in my dreams to train you in your ability to deal with them, and when I was eating, I made it clear that I don't eat internal organs, and I let the sick man come out once, to let you know that he doesn't like to use special abilities, and to let you know that he can't beat you......"

"Do you hope that I will take all your psychology textbooks, and then draw the key points word by word, and tell you that one day you may meet a special me to conduct a special test on you to verify my teaching results?"

"I'm sorry." Bruce said as he looked at Schiller.

Schiller's hands holding the cutlery were on the table, and he stared straight at Bruce and said, "Have you ever thought that I dare not show my face for fear of your concern?" ”

Bruce looked at Schiller's eyes, although those gray eyes were no longer so barren, but what made him feel the tightness in his chest was that Schiller's eyes were full of disappointment.

"When you expressed concern for me, I wondered if it was true, but now I understand that this is only a verbal thing, and there is no difference between this and the kindness you spread to people when you disguised yourself as Bruce."

"You don't even remember what I have taught you, what I have told you, what I have said, what I have done, even if we are just ordinary general acquaintances, at least you should remember some of the theoretical knowledge that I have repeatedly emphasized...... But you don't. ”

Schiller shook his head slightly, he leaned back in his chair, and when he put the knife and fork down, Bruce noticed that the food on his plate had barely moved, and he had breakfast with the professor, but neither of them had eaten breakfast.

"Pathology is telling the truth, he is a fixed existence relative to normality, and it is he who rebuilds normalcy, rebuilds us, and the person you see is Schiller, who was in childhood and adolescence, without any treatment, but still grows up, is the original me."

"In the fantasy of normality, the pathological play of the figure of a father that I did not have, he shaped us and we shaped him, he is the product of the condensation of Schiller's inner illusion of fatherly love, and therefore, he can test us."

"Perhaps, it is because there are so many of the qualities of a father that I understand in him, patience, gentleness and authority, curiosity and fear, that remind you of your father, that you can't do it and blame yourself."

"That's exactly what he wants, he's a true master of mind control who will domesticate his prey into a tame lamb who is not aggressive, who only constantly reflects, constantly admits mistakes, and constantly hurts himself."

So I said, I don't know what you're laughing at, Schiller stared into Bruce's eyes and said, "And in the end, that one I didn't hurt your flesh because you showed me your loyalty." ”

"After a series of mental abuse I inflicted on you, you ignored this kind of hurt, ignored your hatred for criminals, and even ignored the fact that I almost killed you, and still chose to reconcile with me, do you really think it's normal?"

Bruce closed his eyes in pain as Schiller stared at him, and Schiller continued:

"You don't have to use your concerns as a weapon."

"Because, if you really understand me, what you have learned, will find a way out of your fears and self-reproaches, and the pain you are suffering now."

"Any teacher in this world, what they hope for, the understanding that students have for them, is not to show concern for them when things are going well, but to be able to use what they have learned as a weapon when students are in trouble and in pain, to fight against trouble, to fight against themselves."

"Even if you can't do these two things, those ideas that you have learned from knowledge must make you learn to accept failure, understand where your pain comes from, accept that these things are what make you who you are, and reconcile with him, so that you will not spend the rest of your life begging for answers."

Schiller was halfway through his words when Bruce's gaze couldn't take his eyes off him.

These sincere, meticulous, and earnest teachings made Bruce fully understand what it is, guilt, is a good knife.
