There is a saying that is often used to describe the evaluation of short-sighted people, called "forgetting righteousness when seeing small profits", and the word "small profits" also has a very obvious derogatory connotation.

But the truth is that the vast majority of human beings are very easily bought by small profits, and the essence of this is that they instinctively relax when most of the things in an environment are pleasant, and all the act of pleasing others is essentially creating such an environment, or at least creating an illusion of it.

Letting people know that they are safe is the first step to opening the heart, making people feel taken care of is the second step, and making people feel understood is the third step, which is also a common method used by psychopaths to create a safe environment.

People will always wonder why there are so many scumbags who can't see through the essence of scumbags and scumbags, and even think that they are stupid people for their own good, but in fact, the deceived are not stupid, this is the vast majority of people can't resist a person who is scheming, low and small to please you.

Even if it doesn't work once, ten times it doesn't work, they can try a hundred times a thousand times, and there will always be a time when you will be impressed, and as long as this safe environment is created well, even if it is a big injury later, it will always make the victim recall this safe, warm and pleasant environment that he has never seen before, and even take the initiative to find reasons for the other party's temperament to change greatly.

In fact, there is no great change in temperament at all, and the initial gentleness is to create a safe environment, and no one can say that they will never fall for such people.

Schiller knew as soon as he entered the breakfast room that the ultimate Iron Man wasn't just going to take this step, he wanted to do a tango in the area.

Sure enough, his high spirits made him have no time to reflect on whether there were any flaws in his words yesterday, but planned to do more to lay a solid foundation.

Schiller stepped forward and shook hands with an alien who was not much different from a human in appearance, and he recognized that it was the logistics director of the Royal Chamber of Commerce of the Xia Empire in charge of regional trade in the Circumstar Zone, an absolute big man.

Ultimate Iron Man immediately walked over with a smile, patted Schiller's arm and said, "I met Ms. Natchey at yesterday's ball, and I was going to introduce you to him, but I didn't expect her to hear about you in a certain royal family." ”

Schiller said a few modest words, and then the three of them politely exchanged words in the same place for a while, explained each other's origins, and then walked to the table next to them, and talked about things over breakfast.

The main thing is that Schiller is talking to Mrs. Natchey about the current situation in the Ringstar District, and seeing that the time is almost up, Ultimate Iron Man opened his mouth and said: "I won't tell you, madam, Dr. Schiller has also encountered some trouble when he stays here for so long this time......"

Ultimate Iron Man gave a brief introduction to Schiller's situation, and Mrs. Natchey didn't smile perfunctorily like the other aliens, but asked with some seriousness: "Are you sure he was taken away by a disc-shaped flying saucer?" ”

This is just a backstory made up by Schiller, quoting the most famous alien flying saucer of mankind, but judging by Mrs. Natche's expression, it seems that there is such a thing.

Mrs. Natchey shook her head and said, "This is actually a bit troublesome, I seem to have heard of this flying saucer, but I can't be sure, I can only tell you that there is a tavern called Red Feather on the main planet of the Spiral over there in Centauri, and the news over there may be better." ”

Schiller immediately showed a grateful expression, and the three of them exchanged polite greetings for a while, looking at the look on the face of the ultimate Iron Man, Schiller knew that the fire was almost over.

After Mrs. Natchey left, Schiller hurried to the room, the ultimate Iron Man didn't catch up with him at all, looking at the back of Schiller leaving, the ultimate Iron Man's face became gloomy.

After a while, Ultimate Iron Man arrived at Schiller's room and found Schiller packing his belongings, and when Schiller saw him coming, he said while packing his things, "Thank you very much, this is the most useful clue I've gotten in recent times." ”

"It is often said that the time is fleeting, so I must hurry up, I will not forget your kindness, but I will tell you more when I get back." Schiller said gratefully.

But in the end, Iron Man doesn't want gratitude.

He knew that this was a good step, but it did not achieve the effect he wanted, and Schiller's focus was not on his help and friendship at all, he was full of only hope to find his brother.

This is not good news, the ultimate Iron Man knows very well that if Schiller and his brother have a closer emotional bond, and the two of them reunite after a long absence, then it is impossible to insert themselves between them with all their might.

At the same time, one person's emotional dependence can only be on the other, and there can be no more, and if he wants to get the powerful abilities of the two brothers, he must find a way to become their only emotional support, instead of making them rely on each other.

So Ultimate Iron Man spoke, "Congratulations, Dr. Schiller, but are you really going to Centauri now?" ”

Schiller looked up at him suspiciously, and Ultimate Iron Man cleared his throat and said, "It's good to have clues, but listening to Mrs. Natche's ominous tone, you should also be able to guess that your brother's kidnapper is probably a very powerful enemy, are you sure you can rescue him?" ”

Schiller looked hesitant.

"And after so many years, if your brother is still alive, he may have started a family on another planet, and your rash appearance like this is likely to disrupt his existing rhythm of life, and he may not want to return to Earth."

"You also have to consider that your superhero friends probably don't want such a powerful mutant to return to Earth, maybe even the mutants themselves, if there is someone who doesn't welcome him, do you still want to start a war?"

Schiller looked sad and incredulous.

But he actually said in his heart: "It's coming, it's coming, it's a necessary step after showing care, pouring cold water, it's coming." ”

Many people will think that the so-called PUA is actually constantly suppressing and denying the value of the victim's existence, but this is not the essence, or the essence of manipulation is love.

You must first let the other person feel your love, suppression and denial before you can take advantage of the void without arousing the vigilance of the person's self-protection mechanism.

After creating a safe and warm environment for the other person, it will make people instinctively relax the protection mechanism and open their hearts.

There is experimental evidence that people are more willing to think about things in a better direction when they are living a good life, and when they encounter difficulties, they will inevitably look at things with pessimism and skepticism.

Therefore, in a safe and comfortable environment, some repressive and negative words will sound very much like sincere suggestions, of course, only denial is not enough, "pouring cold water" is followed by "I am also for your good", and the real map of Yan "I am gentle, calm and smart, but you are clumsy, reckless and stupid".

"Schiller, I think we are of the same kind, so I would love to hope that I can help, and I advise you not to go to Centauri yet, not to separate you from each other, but simply for the sake of your situation."

"Your brother and you have been separated for so many years, even if there is still some family affection, it is definitely not as good as your friends and relatives who get along day and night, and now you rashly find him and tell him that the universe is going to be destroyed, so I came to you for help, doesn't this sound like a use?"

"Your brother may not think that you have worked hard to finally find him, but you will only think that you don't look for him when you don't need him, but when disaster comes, you think of him, and your thoughts and affection for him should not be misunderstood like this."

"Even if you bring him back to Earth, your superhero friends will think, isn't it also ruining your friendship that we have been with you for so long, and you don't listen to us and have to bring a dangerous person back to our home?"

"I understand that mutants themselves are not united, no matter what faction you are, all factions must consider the impact that your brothers may have on the current situation, and if they have a grudge against each other in the future, you will be in a very awkward position."

Ultimate Iron Man walked into the room, sat side by side with Schiller on the edge of his bed, he put a hand on Schiller's shoulder and said, "Of course I understand, you have been separated for so long, and you can't wait to see each other, but the future is long, and you have to plan for the future, don't you?" ”

Schiller seemed to have calmed down suddenly, he took a deep breath and sighed, turned his head to look at the ultimate Iron Man and said, "You're right, I'm a little impulsive, thank you very much, Tony, you not only helped me find Owen's clues, but also helped me avoid a lot of trouble in the future." ”

A flash of ecstasy immediately flashed in Iron Man's eyes, Schiller called him Tony for the first time, and I'm afraid he used to call his friend Hero Iron Man like that, and he also revealed his brother's name for the first time, which was a sign that he was showing trust.

Ultimate Iron Man sighed as if relieved and said: "You scared me a little, when I first met you, I thought you were a polite doctor, but I didn't expect that your mobility is stronger than that of agents, haven't you encountered any big trouble because of your impulsiveness over the years?" ”

Schiller lowered his head and smiled embarrassedly and said, "There is also some trouble, but everyone else tolerates me." ”

"Then you must have a pretty good circle of friends, and if you want me to say, Dr. Schiller, you can't be so impulsive in this situation, and all the alien races are watching."

"If nothing else, your goodbye to Mrs. Naqi just now was a little rude, and you were a little too anxious."

Coming and coming, Schiller thought in his heart that he was finally going to enter the link of suppressing and disintegrating self-confidence.

So, his eyes widened quite cooperatively, as if he didn't understand why Ultimate Iron Man said this, Ultimate Iron Man smiled and said: "This also makes me a little embarrassed, after all, I invited Mrs. Natchey over, I'm afraid she won't invite me to the ball in the future." ”

"Oh my God, I'm really sorry." Schiller deliberately raised his voice a little, mentally weighing the degree of emotional performance, and said, "I don't know, I might ...... I'm probably a little too anxious. ”

"It's okay." Ultimate Iron Man hurriedly comforted: "She's a pretty generous lady, I was just joking, but don't do it again, it's not good if someone catches the handle." ”

Schiller nodded, and made an expression that took Ultimate Iron Man's words as advice.

Seeing that the Ultimate Iron Man showed that hidden and not bad satisfied expression again, Schiller smiled in his heart.

The next morning, when Ultimate Iron Man saw Schiller in the breakfast room, he found that he was pale and tired, and looked like he hadn't slept all night.

Schiller walked over, smiled wryly at Ultimate Iron Man and said, "Sorry, I look a little bad, I didn't sleep all night last night and kept thinking about what you said." ”

"I have to thank you again, and I have to apologize to you, I was really in too much of a hurry to consider your feelings."

The ultimate Iron Man suddenly felt an extreme happiness explode in his brain, the wail of the prey being caught in the ankle by the trap was like the most wonderful fairy music, and the thick smell of blood caused more intense hunger, the ultimate Iron Man almost couldn't suppress the thirst for blood in his heart, he knew that the time to close the net was up.

And Schiller's heart was only a small wave, his threshold had already been raised too high, this kind of scene could no longer give him any effective stimulation, but looking at the almost irrepressible excitement of the ultimate Iron Man, he also knew that the time to close the net was up.
