Seeing the clear wine being poured into the glass, Schiller was somewhat flattered.
It’s not that no one has invited him to drink, but this is Batman. Let’s not say whether this Batman is authentic or not, but he is Batman! How many people have been invited to drink by Batman?!
This is a life achievement of the same difficulty as seeing Iron Man cry and hearing Spider-Man curse! Arrogance doesn’t even have these two achievements!
Schiller coughed twice, calmed down his excitement a little, picked up his wine glass and clinked it with Batman. Batman winked at him and said, "Then in your opinion, how can this situation be resolved?"
"The ears are almost standing up higher than a Doberman Pinscher, and you are so elegant." Schiller laughed in his heart and said: "Actually, it is not that difficult. Compared with the extreme cases I have seen,
But it’s a piece of cake.”
"Tell me something." Batman sat up straighter and straighter.
"But before that, you have to tell me what you are hiding from me." Schiller waved his hand and said, "This is not a deal, but I have to know whether my previous guesses about some people's family of origin are accurate.
This will help me judge the condition and propose solutions, isn’t it too much?”
Batman's movements were obviously paused, and the hand shaking the wine glass stopped. He turned his head to one side, as if he was recalling something, but then he quickly shook his head and said, "Of course it's not too much, but I don't think you will."
Believe it or not, no one believes it.”
"Since you all know that we are visitors from other universes, you should be able to imagine that there are countless strange things happening in thousands of universes. How can you be sure that what you are talking about will be so strange that we cannot believe it?
?”
Batman opened his mouth, but seemed unable to formulate any better words to refute, so he said: "Then I have to tell you this big secret."
Batman's tone was not one of complacency or guilt, but more of a self-mockery, as if he had told everyone this secret countless times, but no one believed him.
"It's not without cost that we can assemble our limbs infinitely." Batman said: "The parts will wear out, but there is a mysterious power that repairs our wear and tear, but this mysterious power is also limited."
Batman's expressive face rarely showed a trace of seriousness and darkness like other Batman's. He said: "Every part of our limbs contains this mysterious power. The limbs that have never been damaged have the most strength, and those that have been repaired have the most power."
The more you have, the less power you have left, until there is absolutely no power left.”
“How many times does it take to assemble it before it runs out?”
"No one knows." Batman shook his head and said, "No one has ever done such a cruel experiment, but there are indeed some unlucky guys who are often damaged and find that they can't replace part of their limbs. That proves the mysterious power in his body.
It’s almost running out.”
"so what?"
"There is a group of people who are trying to find ways to replenish this mysterious power." Batman put his hands together to support his chin, and then said: "They have found a way to return the mysterious power to its origin, so that the consumption of power can be delayed.
"
"Is this what your parents did?"
Batman's hand suddenly tightened, he nodded, and he said without hesitation: "Yes, they are fighting for this cause."
"I mean, have they allowed the power in their bodies to return to its origin?"
Batman finally couldn't stand it anymore. He picked up the wine glass and poured the wine into his mouth. He choked for some reason and coughed several times.
"They have to do this. This is what they told me before they left. I can probably understand what is going on. If they came up with this plan, then if they can't lead by example, no one will follow.
superior."
"Who are those other people?"
"The superheroes of the previous generation." Batman said: "They seemed to have lived in a place called New York before, but they all disappeared one after another the year my parents disappeared."
"Sounds like a sad story."
"But their sacrifices are meaningful." Batman said: "The lack of the original mysterious power is a very fatal problem, and it does not only appear in recent years. Because of the sacrifices of the previous generation of superheroes, this problem has been postponed for several years.
Ten years, but there is no way to delay it forever."
"So Barbara and Gordon are also executing this plan, by recruiting volunteers?"
"It's not that ideal." Batman said: "Most people think we are being alarmist, even other people in the Justice League, they think we can live like this forever."
"So I feel very disappointed that I can't unite them. Obviously my parents have done it, but now they not only don't believe in me, but they don't need me at all. I don't know how I will convince them if the crisis comes... I
I don’t want to do this…”
"I completely understand you." Schiller said: "It seems that my conjecture is correct. Your parents have been immersed in this state all year round. They want to save the world, but they are reluctant to leave those old friends, showing something like
Schizophrenic duality.”
Batman deeply agrees. He said: "The two words I heard most often when I was a child were 'must' and 'don't want'. They broke out countless quarrels about this. After a while, they told me that there were some things they had to do."
, and then said that there were some things they didn’t want to do, and I couldn’t understand what they meant.”
"They are also worried that one day you will fall into the same entanglement as them, so they do their best to delay the time." Schiller explained the matter from another angle. He said: "At least their sacrifice is
It makes sense, because you are now a capable adult. If the crisis came when you were a child, there would be nothing you can do about it."
Batman nodded, acquiescing to this statement, and poured himself some more wine. Of course, this thing called wine is actually grape juice. Schiller tasted it just now. As a family episode, this is not the case in this universe.
There might be real alcohol, so if Batman wants to drink more, he won't stop him.
"You said there is a way to solve my current interpersonal problems. If you can really do it, you can ask for the consultation fee."
"It's a pity that I can't use the money in your universe. I can just get some and keep it. If there are too many, forget about it." Schiller tapped his finger on the wine glass, and then said: "But you are Batman, you
A promise is worth a thousand pieces of gold, if you promise to do me a favor in the future."
"Then we have to have a future first." Batman agreed happily. He said: "If you can really solve this problem, even if it is delayed again, before I am completely worn out and cannot be assembled, I can help
Do you a favor."
Schiller nodded, and then said: "It is probably too late to directly correct personality through psychotherapy. That requires a quiet environment, medication, and long-term persistence in treatment."
"Then let's correct your behavior first. I believe your willpower should be able to persist. In the later stage, your behavior will also be able to correct your spirit."
"First of all, although my principle is that if you don't feel uncomfortable, you don't need treatment. However, considering that the vast majority of patients with loneliness are unwilling to describe themselves in this way, they often avoid medical treatment and insist that they are fine, so I will treat you as if you are uncomfortable because of loneliness."
Batman instinctively moved his mouth to refute, but Schiller blocked his words well, and Schiller continued.
"First of all, change the subject of two of the three sentences you say to others, not yourself. Don't emphasize how you are now, but ask how others are."
"For example." Schiller stretched out his hand and said: "After you say 'hello', take the initiative to ask how others are doing. When others talk about how they are, you must hold back and don't change the subject.
Lead it to yourself."
"An example of a mistake is that if others say that I am not doing well recently, don't say that I am not doing well either and then start talking about how I am. Instead, insist on asking others why they are not doing well and what difficulties they have encountered."
"When he starts to describe his difficulty, don't talk about your solution, or how you solved it when you encountered this difficulty. Unless he seriously asks for your opinion, just listen.
alright."
Batman covered his mouth with a wine glass. Schiller's behavioral improvement method really hit the mark, because that's who he is. When he recalled his past communications with everyone in the Justice League, he basically couldn't say more than three sentences on a certain topic.
Turn it on yourself.
For example, when Superman talks about the recent improvements to the facilities in the Fortress of Solitude, Batman will immediately talk about how he recently changed the layout of the Batcave. When Wonder Woman talks about the mess in Mount Olympus, Batman will talk about himself.
The feeling when watching the myth.
Therefore, the topics that everyone communicated with me never went into depth. Basically, they only talked about this incident, but did not say what happened, because everything they wanted to say was blocked.
Next, it’s time for Batman to talk.
"I just want to give them advice..." Batman muttered quietly.
"Human beings don't need opinions and suggestions, because humans never accept them with humility." Schiller said: "Even if they accept it, they will feel that they are humbly accepting advice and have clear thinking, not how smart you are and how much you care about them.
Helpful.”
Batman couldn't argue with that.
"Second, when you talk about yourself, don't attribute everything to your own thoughts." Schiller frowned and said, "If you can't participate in something, just say that someone else is holding you back.
Don't say that you don't want to go."
Just when Batman was about to speak, Schiller said: "I know this is a lie, but what humans need most is lies. They only listen to what they want to hear. They can't listen to your true thoughts. I heard you."
You can’t understand it, and you can’t accept it even if you understand it.”
Batman pursed his lips and stopped talking again. Obviously, he felt deeply about not being understood.
Schiller mentioned that he had also encountered the situation. Superman invited him to a party, and he said he didn't want to go. There was only silence on the other side, as if the other party couldn't find any excuse to explain for him. It seemed like the same thing.
There is no obligation to explain for him.
"You may not care about the society behind you, but they still care." Schiller said: "You need to give them a reason to prevaricate the people behind them. If you find a good reason yourself, you don't have to worry about others finding reasons for you.
They can bother once or twice, but people will get tired."
Batman seemed to listen and nodded.
Schiller sighed and continued: "Third, when others mention you, don't try to change the image of you in their words to anyone who hears it, and don't explain it."
"Why?" Batman said, "Are you going to let them discredit me?"
"Human beings will only believe what they want to believe. If they don't believe you are a certain kind of person, it doesn't matter how many times others tell you. If they believe you are a certain kind of person, it doesn't matter how much you explain."
"I know you are confused." Schiller took a sip of grape juice, and then said: "But smart people understand that the so-called explanations and clarifications only exist at the axiomatic level, and for a specific person, removing stereotypes
It’s as difficult as climbing to heaven.”
"There is nothing wrong with being obsessed with revealing the truth, but in social circles, the desire you show will become a knife in others' hands to stab you. Once others know how to stimulate you, then what awaits you next
There will be mountains of swords and seas of fire.”
"If you want to achieve social suppression, you have to show that you don't care about anything, so that you can be invincible and win every battle."
