1966 U: Beyond the Great Event (55)

"Human consciousness is an extremely sophisticated system, and a small problem in any one place can cause a chain reaction, and if one chooses to abandon one's past self and reshape one's personality in such a radical way, it is impossible not to pay a price."

Bruce sighed and said, "Every time you complete the transformation of your personality is like peeling off a layer of skin, but it is actually much more painful and lengthy than that, sometimes it can even take years, and every one of us has such a time in our lives, that is, the rebellious period of our youth." ”

"Some people have perfectly broken out of their cocoon into a butterfly, faded away from their youth, and gained maturity, but there are also people who always have fragments of cocoons on their bodies, and these fragments will stay with them for the rest of their lives until they integrate into their personality and become a part of them."

"The success of the transformation is influenced by many factors, such as the family environment, interpersonal relationships, and one's own personality, and the vast majority of people only experience such a major transformation in their lifetime."

"But if someone transforms many times in this way, then there will always be a few times when the process of transformation will leave traces on him, and more and more fragments accumulate on his body, and he will want to get rid of these burdens more and more."

"Then he has to carry out a complete transformation, a complete transformation to wash away the burden of the past, and completely reshape the transformation of his personality."

"yes, that's the easiest way to do it." The look on Arthur's face became a little inexplicable, and he said, "When you are no longer you, you have given yourself a new identity, you can no longer care about the things you cared about in the past, and they don't care about you anyway." ”

"Then you will come to a new world, have a bigger stage, and the prospect of such a future will make you feel extremely fulfilled, and you will almost be full of joy to break yourself and paste it back into the face of your dreams."

"But is that really a good thing?" Bruce looked at Arthur and said meaningfully, "Is the thing you repasted really human?" ”

"Are humans that important?"

"For people who are already desperate, it doesn't matter if they have their own kind in this world." Bruce pursed his lips, and the others could see a sadness in his expression, but it was hard to say where it came from, after all, it didn't seem like he was a desperate person.

"But if someone has not despaired, then it is wrong for him to take this path, because in order to get rid of the traces of the past, he completely shatters and pastes himself, and the things he has shaped are no longer human."

"Maybe he has the appearance of a human being, can communicate with humans, and looks like a human in every way, but he is not, he is not a no, he can't fake, and he has no chance of regretting."

Bruce turned his head to look at the screen again, and at this time the scene stopped on Bei Bat's face, and he said, "This Batman wants to go down this path because the fragments of the past have affected his spirit, and he is afraid that he will become a madman." ”

"It is conceivable that his psychological examination is becoming less and less optimistic, his mental pressure is getting bigger and bigger, and occasionally he will have some abnormal behaviors in life, and he is very worried that he will go crazy."

This pressure forced him to make this choice, to completely shatter his old self and create a new identity for himself, so that he had a new goal and something to do, and the traces of growth would no longer hinder him.

"So he became Batman." Lord Superman's tone deepened: "I never knew he had such a past, and he never told me about it, I thought he had always been like this. ”

"When the pain you face is too much for your now known self, you can only break it and reunite it in another, stronger way."

Arthur's tone was subdued, and the state he described reminded Bruce of Schiller, of the great tower.

"So most of the Batmen did, so they became Batman, not Bruce Wayne." Lord Superman frowned deeply as he said, "Is the pain he is experiencing the death of his parents?" But why is it that whenever I mention that there may be a chance to be resurrected, he ......"

"Of course it's not that simple." Bruce shook his head and said, "His real pain comes from the surging desire for revenge and the conflict between justice and law in his heart. ”

"If you kill a criminal, you will become a criminal, private feelings and justice are like two ends of the scale, and Batman has completely become a vigilante who enforces justice and law in the process of friction and swaying."

"And this Batman also wants to embark on such a path, abandon Bruce Wayne, who has become unstable due to his mental state, and become a real dark knight."

"And the sign is that he chose not to pour out his anger and hatred on those criminals." Bruce guessed, "Because those emotions are only for Bruce Wayne, Batman is for justice." ”

"If you have to use an analogy, if Bruce Wayne is an ordinary person who is flesh and blood, has a lot of feelings, and will vent his emotions naturally, then Batman is a saint who can completely control his emotions and can not show half of his emotions as long as he doesn't do anything."

Spider-Man shuddered and said, "That's terrible, how can people control their emotions?" If he doesn't get angry when he's angry and doesn't cry when he's sad, what's the difference between him and the walking dead? ”

Lord Superman sighed deeply, and his exhaled breath was mixed with white mist, almost close to freezing breath.

"I'm not complaining, it's just that I often feel like I'm facing a corpse when I'm facing Batman." Lord Superman sat down, crossed his arms and tilted his head to the side, and said, "None of my words have been answered by him, and the muscles on his face are like wood, and I can't see the slightest change in my eyes." ”

"I used to calculate the rate of his breathing, and then I found that for at least a week, the interval between each of his inhales and exhales was the same, and I didn't even dare to look at him with clairvoyant eyes, I was afraid that I would see a whole bunch of parts and wires."

Lord Superman propped his elbows on the armrest, covered his eyes with his hand and said, "Sometimes I really don't know who Superman is. ”

Bruce smiled, put his fingers together and propped his fingertips on the side of his temples and said, "The various performances we see of this Batman on the screen, and all the stress reactions he has had, actually indicate that he is starting to dislike Bruce Wayne as a person." ”

"Because he is emotional, violent, unstable, and even begins to be delirious, the psychiatrist may simply tell him that he has certain emotional problems that need to be adjusted and cultivated, and he feels that he may lose control at any time."

So he started to tune in to Batman, but Bruce Wayne still wanted to make one last effort to prove that he wasn't crazy.

Spider-Man had a flash of inspiration, and he said, "So this is Bruce Wayne calling for help?" ”

Bruce looked at Spider-Man in some surprise, stared at him for a moment, then withdrew his gaze and said, "Yes, many of the crazy actions you see in your life that go against common sense may be the last call for help from a madman in trouble." ”

"He's very conflicted." Arthur began, "Because if he were to undergo a psychological examination, he could face two outcomes, either the doctor would say that he was really crazy and completely deny the meaning of his existence, or someone could see the crux of his problem, but he himself had little hope for it." ”

"So which one is Schiller?"

The crowd looked at the screen again.

On the screen, Schiller is speculating about the structure of this dream world in his hospital room, but Batman speculates on the principle through external phenomena such as the structure of the hospital building, while Schiller deconstructs the dream through psychological theories.

In the current academic circles of psychology, psychoanalytic theory has been almost regarded as a pseudoscience, but if dreams are to be studied, it is almost impossible to bypass Freud.

Although there are behavioral explanations that dream is a continuation of conscious mental activity, if we want to mention how the content of dreams is related to reality and memory, we must mention the reflection of the subconscious content mentioned in Freud's dream analysis.

Schiller wrote Freud's name on a piece of paper, intermittently listed some key points of the theory of subconscious content reflection, and then thought of the possibility of manipulating the body through the subconscious, and then the content of the dream projected the subconscious, and then came to the conclusion that the dream manipulated the body's movements.

After coming to this point, the rest of the part is easy to guess, controlling the physical actions of the contestants through dreams, it is nothing more than wanting them to commit suicide, if the murderer has the ability to get a blade in front, he doesn't have to make so much effort, it is estimated that he still borrows the props that are already on the scene.

It is easy to imagine that they are either in a very high place and can fall down after taking a few steps forward, or they are on a high-speed moving vehicle, which, combined with the fact that they are asleep on the bus, must be the latter.

Everyone in the audience watched in amazement as Schiller wrote and drew on a piece of paper, and then came up with a conclusion out of thin air, and the whole process was like divine help, which can be called mysterious.

But that's not all, after Schiller wrote his speculation, he wrote a word killer next to it, apparently guessing what kind of state the killer would be in now.

Although it can pull everyone into a dream, it is obviously impossible for the murderer to directly affect the bus, otherwise he will just use the seat to smash the employee to death, and it is very likely that he will have to come to the car in person to move the things on the bus, just like the contestants.

Schiller remembers that the doors and windows of the bus were closed before he fell asleep, and that in order for the contestants to jump out of the bus on their own, the killer would have to get on the bus and open the windows or doors.

So if the killer is in the car, he will inevitably pay attention to the situation of the contestants, after all, this is the most important part of his plan, if someone has an abnormality, he can't ignore it.

Schiller finally drew a circle on the word "anomalous" and tapped it lightly with the tip of his pen, apparently thinking of something.

Soon the evening came, and Schiller, Batman, and Bei Bat met in the consultation room.

At this time, Spider-Man in the audience sat down again, leaned back in his chair, yawned and said, "I almost fell asleep when I watched this paragraph, I really don't understand what they are talking about." ”

"I'm more curious about why the psychiatrist asked him when he felt lost?" Konstantin asked aloud.

"Because it's the easiest way to identify whether a person has emotional problems at all."
