Schiller looked away from the handout, looked at the student who asked the question, shook his head slightly and said: "In-depth analysis represents in-depth feelings, and it is almost difficult to achieve in-depth feelings with photos. It is best to
Get in touch with the scene.”
If it was the students at Gotham University, of course they would have been fooled by him like this, but everyone here who was not the most popular person immediately discovered the rejection in Schiller's words.
Finally someone asked the crucial question.
"Professor, I heard that you are very good at psychoanalysis. You must have strong empathy skills. Can you show us a real in-depth analysis?"
Schiller sighed helplessly, looked at him and said: "I already said that feeling through the photos is far from an in-depth analysis, but there is no crime scene here..."
As soon as I said this, the classroom door was banged.
The student closest to the door walked over and opened the door. A student rushed in anxiously and said: "Professor, Professor Diana and the others found a body in the empty classroom on the lower floor. Professor Wayne asked me to call you over!"
"
For some reason, Schiller felt that this scene looked familiar. He thought to himself, are you sure the person in the underground classroom is a human or not a troll?
In fact, Schiller is not unwilling to show the magic of psychoanalysis to students, because he knows that many students here have certain talents in this area. Although they are not as strong as Jenna, they are still among the best among ordinary people.
.
If he can successfully arouse the interest of this group of people and let them appreciate the charm of psychoanalysis, then he may have a few more outstanding graduate students in the future, so Schiller is happy to show it to them.
However, his current condition is not very good.
In order to lure the witch into taking the bait, Schiller now doesn't even drink the snowdrop tea. He lets the curse continue to erode this body. Maintaining human form is his last bottom line. If Circe doesn't come back, he is ready to turn into a snake again.
.
There is a price to pay for maintaining the habits of snakes in human form. Let's put it this way, the reason why snakes have such habits is because they have evolved bodies to live in this habit. On the other hand, it is precisely because they
With such a body, they can live with such habits.
Humans did not evolve in the direction of snakes. The habit of maintaining body temperature by sunlight alone cannot carry such a large body. Moreover, human skin is different from that of cold-blooded animals, and its ability to sense and absorb temperature is much different.
.
Schiller is now like a Windows XP system installed in a supercomputer. The power of any hardware is not enough, and the running speed is worrying.
So is he unable to empathize in this situation?
In fact, it's just the opposite. The worse his condition, the stronger his ability to empathize. This is true for pathological conditions and also for normal conditions.
The ability to empathize with others and conduct psychoanalysis belongs to the underlying logic of Schiller's spirit. It does not mean that you do not have this ability just because you are separated from the family or not in the tower. In fact, it is present in every personality trait.
The ability to empathize with each personality trait is actually the same, and will become stronger as the mental state worsens.
This is a basic law of the human spirit, just like the worse your mental state is, the more you tend to think wildly, and the most important support for empathy is association.
What's more, when the mental state deteriorates to a certain level, hallucinations will begin to occur, and the hallucinations seen by empaths are often composed of ready-made pictures of the information received by their empathic organs.
Pictures are of course much more specific and accurate than hazy feelings, so once the mental condition deteriorates to the point of hallucinations, the ability to empathize and psychoanalyze will become very strong, which can be said to be the peak state of an empath.
Schiller previously commented that Jenna's peak state was comparable to his morbid state. In fact, if one day Jenna's mental condition deteriorated to the point where he began to have hallucinations, it would be basically on the same level as a morbid state.
But now Jenna's mental condition is a bit too healthy, which means that her ability to empathize cannot be fully utilized, let alone seeing specific pictures, she can only barely feel the emotional atmosphere, although it is enough for her at this stage. , but what will happen next is still unknown.
Excessive empathy will cause a problem. If your mental state is not good in the first place, but you still have to empathize with those strange murderers, it will easily lead to a more disordered mental state. In many cases, you will even become addicted to it and be unable to extricate yourself. Behavior tends to be consistent.
This is why natural empaths can easily become serial killers. Because they are exhausted from being unable to control their ability to empathize, their mental state is inherently disordered, and they are easily influenced by other criminals in areas with poor security. It is better not to commit crimes. A small probability event.
Therefore, Schiller is not worried about the inaccuracy of his empathy, but believes that if he undergoes psychoanalysis now, it is likely to further worsen his mental state.
He was already feeling low due to the curse, and if it worsened, he might not even be able to sleep anymore.
Schiller originally thought that these students would spend at least more than a year here, and then return to Earth for internship. It would not be too late to show them after the incident with the witches was solved and the curse was lifted.
As a result, the crime scene was delivered to my door.
Some things just don't work if you don't believe in them. Schiller once questioned Murphy's Law, but facts have proved that there is a certain truth in the fact that this law can be spread so widely.
What he originally thought was that if the witch dared to come over, it would be Superman, Wonder Woman, and The Flash. These people would be enough to hold Circe down and beat her up, so there was no need for him to take action.
But it turns out that this cunning witch has not completely lost her mind. She will not show up in person so easily, but can hide in the dark and cause trouble.
Although the Mercury base has quite complete security measures, it was brought from another universe after all. The scientific differences between the two universes are not big, or basically non-existent, but magic is inherently inconsistent. It's not the same thing, so there are indeed loopholes that can be exploited.
As for solving the case, Clark and Diana really couldn't help much, and Oliver and Arthur were almost useless. The only ones who could really come in handy were Bruce, Barry, and Schiller.
However, the Barry of Schiller's universe is still very young, and he has not studied physical evidence science, so he cannot help much in criminal investigation.
Originally, he could have traveled back in time to see the answer directly, but by chance, there was another person present called Golden Pioneer, that is, the young superhero from the future.
Don't look at the way this guy behaves. He hangs out with the Blue Beetle every day, chasing chickens and chasing dogs. Those are all disguises. The true identity of the Golden Pioneer is the Guardian of the Timeline, and his job is to protect the Timeline.
He is stable and works for the Time Administration. He will not let The Flash travel through the timeline so easily.
Moreover, DC’s timeline is a little more complicated than Marvel’s. It’s complicated because it’s full of The Flash and various enemies of The Flash running around. If it collides with it, it will be like a normal person bumping into a semi-trailer.
There is no difference.
Neither Schiller nor Bruce agree with Barry going deep into the timeline now. Even if he has integrated dark forces before, it is very dangerous.
So the only ones who can work now are Schiller, the wretched master and apprentice.
And if Bruce is given full power, Schiller is really worried. He has led four classes and more than a hundred people can teach him this kind of virtue. Do you think you can trust him to do something?
Schiller sighed, knowing that he had no choice but to go.
Before he could say anything, the students below started cheering first, and then halfway through cheering, they realized something was wrong, and they all stopped in embarrassment.
"Okay." Schiller knocked on the table and said, "If such a big thing happens, everyone must be there. You should be quiet. After arriving at the crime scene, don't make any noise or rush in.
If you encounter any unexpected situation, don’t panic, the professors will protect you..."
Theoretically speaking, hearing that someone died in the base where they are located should cause panic, but Schiller had whetted their appetites before, so these students didn't feel panic at all, and they all suppressed it.
Wanting to see how Schiller would solve the case, he ran out the door happily.
Looking at their energetic backs, Schiller thought that no matter what method the mastermind behind the scenes wanted to use to cause panic among the students, they would probably not succeed. This is the charm of education.
Schiller was not in a hurry to go out. He packed up the lesson plans on the table first, and then glanced at Jenna, who was also packing things. The little girl immediately understood, dropped to the end of the crowd, and walked forward side by side with Schiller.
"How do you feel?" Schiller asked. He actually just wanted to ask Jenna if she was tired, because when she first developed her empathy talent, it would be too energy-consuming, and she didn't feel it when she was immersed in empathy.
Once you get out, you will feel very tired. His original intention is to let Jenna go back to rest.
Unexpectedly, Jenna said very excitedly: "There are many ideas lingering in my mind. I want to write them down, but I have no clue. I have tried to observe Professor Wayne before, but at that time my own thoughts
It's very confusing and I can't find the right path. Now I think I can try again..."
Schiller also had to admit that young people are energetic. After thinking about it, he said: "I don't object to you doing this, miss, but I think Professor Wayne's question can be put aside for a while. Let's focus on the present first."
this case."
Sure enough, Jenna's attention was caught. She seemed to think about it seriously and then said: "Professor, what race do you think the victim will belong to?"
“Do you think race matters?”
"Of course, to be precise, it is one of the key pieces of information." Jenna nodded and said, "The difficulty of killing an ordinary human being is different from that of killing me. The choice of race must be an important clue to determine the murderer."
"You can discuss this with Professor Wayne."
"So what are we discussing with you?" Jenna looked at him and asked, "How does psychoanalysis work without knowing any information?"
Schiller shook his head and said: "Psychoanalysis is not just about analyzing the murderer. When a murder occurs, all the related atmosphere may be important clues."
