"You're a mutant?" Ultimate Iron Man asked.

"I am, but not only." Schiller shook his head lightly and explained, "My mutant abilities have nothing to do with my prophetic abilities, and the leaders of the mutants have no clue about this. ”

"You told them?"

"I have the same abilities as Professor X and Magneto, I can sense the future and manipulate molecules."

Ultimate Iron Man's eyes became hotter and hotter, and he said, "So you are equivalent to a combination of Professor X and Magneto?" ”

"But they are not as strong as the two of them." Schiller sighed and said, "I think it may be that one ability interferes with the other, causing both of my abilities to grow to the extreme. ”

"I heard you tell the alien prince that you came to the universe to find your brother?" Ultimate Iron Man asked.

Schiller put his hands on the armrests of his chair, nodded, and continued: "He has the same mutant abilities as me, but he doesn't predict, so he's more powerful at manipulating molecules. ”

'I think he'll help the situation now.' Schiller frowned slightly, and said with a solemn expression: "Breaking down objects into molecules or reconstructing them with molecules can do many amazing things. ”

Needless to say, Schiller, as a scientist, the ultimate Iron Man understands better than him what the ability to manipulate at the molecular level means, but at the same time, he also deduces that there may be many limitations in his ability in this regard, otherwise he would not need to come to himself as a cosmic propulsion engine.

Sure enough, he heard Schiller say, "I can also partially manipulate molecules, but only by reorganizing and repairing, I can't directly disassemble objects, and I can't create things out of thin air." ”

Ultimate Iron Man nodded, if that's the case, then it's just a good healing technique, but if you can completely disassemble and reconstruct objects, it's unimaginably powerful, but Schiller's prophetic ability is more metaphysical but more powerful to some extent.

The best option, then, is to obtain Schiller's brother's perfect molecular manipulation ability and Schiller's prophetic powers.

Ultimate Iron Man made up his mind, so he changed the subject without a trace, he said, "Why did your brother run away from Earth?" ”

Schiller shook his head and said, "He was kidnapped by aliens, and I've been looking for him for so many years. ”

"Obviously, your superhero friends don't approve of you doing this."

Schiller pursed his lips and said, "I can understand them, there are enough uncontrolled mutants on Earth. ”

"And that includes you." Ultimate Iron Man looked at Schiller seriously and said, "Their original intention was to think that you are also uncontrollable, at least at least this risk." ”

"I said, it's not for nothing."

"Have you ever lost control?"

"Not yet, but a lot of mutants ......"

"Then this is the sin of desire." Ultimate Iron Man said very seriously: "I know the arguments of the mutant exclusionist group, they call mutants bombs, but they don't want to think about why they are so weak and stupid. ”

Schiller frowned deeply, he looked at the ultimate Iron Man with a little shock and said, "Do you agree with allowing uncontrollable mutants to harm ordinary people?" ”

"So why are they hurt?"

"Because of the mutant ......, of course"

"It's because they're too weak and defenseless, and they deserve it."

Schiller was dumbfounded, and the ultimate Iron Man showed a cold look, he said: "Yes, I am a supporter of jungleism, I deserve to be eliminated if I am weak, and there is no need to live in this world, including me." ”

"I get all that I deserve from them, only because I am strong, and the morals that bind them cannot bind me, but also because I am strong."

"Then if there is a ...... stronger than you"

"If he doesn't kill me the first time, I'll always become stronger than him and go and kill him."

Schiller leaned back in a gesture of retreat, then shook his head and said: "No, neither human beings nor human civilization are endless transcendence, and there is no end to the pursuit of strength, and in the end it will inevitably die from entropy increase." ”

"Then it's more powerful than the universe." The eyes of the ultimate Iron Man flashed with indescribable ambition, and he said: "To become the ultimate existence standing on the universe, to become an existence that cannot be defined by any existence, I don't care at all how many weak people's lives are paid for it, because they are not in the same class as me." ”

Schiller looked at him in silence, as if he was deeply shocked, but the ultimate Iron Man knew that he could not say in his heart at this time that he was not attracted, and any kind of extreme argument in this world would always seem more convincing, because human beings are like this, they are moved by the fiery passion behind the extreme.

"Do you want to be a god?"

"God can't define me."

"You're crazy."

"Can you say you don't?" Ultimate Iron Man leaned forward again, looked directly into Schiller's eyes, and said almost word for word: "You could not have put yourself in the desolate situation you are in, and you would not have pulled yourself so painfully." ”

"Have you ever thought that if you weren't a mutant and didn't have such great abilities, you would be able to get along well with everyone?"

Schiller didn't answer, but the ultimate Iron Man saw the affirmative answer in his face, so he said: "Give up this stupid and childish idea, if you are weak, they will abandon you, if you are strong, they will fear you, you will never get the understanding of those bugs, you must find your kind." ”

"But don't you say that to me, or to express that you can understand me, just to take advantage of me?"

"But I at least know that you have a value to use, and for the sake of that value, I will be kind to you, not that you are a crazy person or a dangerous time bomb."

Schiller took a deep breath, turned his head away, and rolled his Adam's apple up and down twice, but in the end he didn't say anything, the ultimate Iron Man leaned back, put his arms relaxed on the armrests and said: "People who lack emotional home always want to get emotional feedback from others at the first time, but you don't really need these emotions at all, if emotional support can change the situation, you won't be here." ”

"Do you think I should give up on emotions like you did?"

"It's not giving up, it's evolving." Ultimate Iron Man tilted his head and said, "Break free from the web they weaved, break through the shell of social domestication for many years, learn not to seek love and approval from any ant at your feet, and then you will find that a new world has arrived." ”

"You remind me of someone." Schiller looked back at Ultimate Iron Man and said, "Magneto and I have said pretty much the same thing. ”

"This is the consensus of the strong." Ultimate Iron Man stood up with both hands on the armrest of his armchair, walked to the other side of the viewing window, looked at the nebula outside and said, "If you think I'm lying to you or taking advantage of you, then think about who made you fall into such a field today, and who made things turn around." ”

When Iron Man walked out of the room, he found Schiller sitting in front of the viewing window and staring at the Nebula outside the window in silence, and he turned his back to a smile on his face sunk in the shadows.

And after the Ultimate Iron Man left, Schiller also showed a smile on his face, but it was shallower and less imperceptible.

In the case of psychopaths, influencing others by their words and actions, manipulating others on a spiritual level, and making others see and understand who they really are, is the highest recognition of one's own charm and ability, and this act will provide an amazing dopamine stimulus and make them fall into a psychedelic euphoria, even faster than drugs.

As we all know, in the vast majority of cases, human emotions and reason are in conflict, and when emotions are more intense, reason is suppressed, and in order to maintain extreme reason, it is necessary to suppress emotions.

Happiness and excitement are two completely different things, the former belongs to the category of reason, for example, if you encounter a good thing that makes you feel happy, in fact, reason makes you judge that this thing is good for you, although it will also produce a certain amount of excitement, but it is far from reaching the level of excitement.

However, the excitement brought about by direct mental stimulation is hyperactivity, and rational judgment does not participate in this process at all, nothing good happens, but simply stimulates the brain to obtain dopamine, and the excitement produced is hyperactivity, such as drug use, or hallucinations of mental patients.

When psychopaths make progress in the process of manipulating others, although reason tells them that they have also benefited, the direct mental exhilaration that arises from the great satisfaction of that instinct cannot be avoided.

In short, once you receive the stimulus and enter the state of hyperactivity more often, the excitement brought by the stimulus will become weaker and weaker, and the pleasure will become smaller and smaller.

That's why addicts keep increasing their doses, and why marijuana is still the most dangerous drug, if not as strong as a hallucinogenic drug—it raises the threshold for mental stimulation, making people less sensitive to the euphoria of life's ordinary pleasures, and instead relying on drugs, and when they are no longer sensitive to ordinary drugs, they will only sink deeper and deeper.

The euphoria that psychopaths get from manipulating others is no different from drugs, so while they think they are still intelligent and cautious, their body's pleasure-seeking instinct will make them more and more adventurous, even if they can no longer maintain their usual focused and charismatic appearance, and will only become more irritable and aggressive.

Their brains are constantly telling them that they need stronger stimulation, so they will seek more from the person they are controlling, if the other person cannot provide it, they will resort to extreme measures, and if they still can't get it, or if they are punished for revealing flaws and forced to quit, they will feel the same great pain as addicts who can't get their hands on drugs.

In fact, this is the best way to deal with psychopaths, but the vast majority of people do not have strong enough emotional self-control to deal with this group of cunning and indifferent perverts by nature, but as long as you can hold on longer than him, in the end he will be the prey of hunger and thirst driven to lose his mind and step on the trap.

Schiller knew that the wavering attitude he had shown today had given Iron Man a taste of the thrill of mental manipulation.

It is divided into two steps, first, when Ultimate Iron Man first observes Schiller's various reactions and words, he is actually screening the victims, and when he sees pain, struggle, and hesitation, he takes Schiller as the perfect prey in his heart.

But at this time, he still can't be sure, because he can't judge whether the decision he made is the right one.

So, secondly, until he showed his charm and instilled his ideas in Schiller, and Schiller began to really waver, there was another thrill, and that was that he had really relied on his intelligent brain to make a good decision, and self-affirmation would cause euphoria.

Another distinguishing feature of hyperactivity is that it comes and goes quickly, and once you move away from the stimulus, the pleasure will quickly subside, and a deeper emptiness will follow.

But narcissistic psychopaths often feel that they don't need to endure such emptiness, and that they can take advantage of the victory and continue to sing all the way until they achieve the results they want, so they have no time to reflect or think, they will only chase and fight, and flaws will follow.

Sure enough, Schiller received a call from Iron Man in the evening, and he said on the phone: "I have made a friend in the banquet hall just now, and he is willing to provide me with the identity of a guest and provide me with a place to stay, and I will now live in the room on the far right of your upstairs." ”

"He's the head of an interstellar logistics company, and he knows a lot about the portal people in various regions, and I'll invite him to the breakfast room tomorrow morning, I think you can talk to him about your brother, what do you think?"

After giving an affirmative answer, Schiller put down the phone, showed a big smile, and came the second step after the indoctrination of ideas, showing himself fully - fully demonstrating the material value he can provide, it is coming.
