"What's wrong?" Bruce still asked in his mind, and then he added, "I just think what he said is quite easy to understand."
"Of course, it's easy for you to understand." Schiller said almost word for word: "Because agents are the best at behavioral analysis among us."
"Well……"
Good, he's perfectly avoiding the field of his teacher's research, Bruce thought, but he's used to it.
Batman in the main universe is obviously a little surprised by the agent's method of deduction.
What's the matter? Mind reading is no longer allowed? How does this sound reasonable?
Main universe Batman and Schiller have known each other for a long time. The two of them often write letters to each other. Occasionally, Batman will mention some recent cases he has encountered in the letters and seek Schiller's advice.
Schiller's reply hit the mark every time, but the problem was that it hit the mark, but it was not clear how.
Several times, Batman asked Schiller how he could come to such an accurate conclusion based on just a few words in the letter, even though he had never met the people involved in the case or inspected the crime scene.
At first, Schiller would say some specious things, which made Batman confused and even suspected that he was a fake Riddler.
But later, Schiller seemed to be impatient. He directly said that this is mind reading. But the problem is that Batman in the main universe does not know people who can read minds, but the conclusions they gave are different from Schiller's.
Not so directly to the point.
For Batman, this has always been a mystery.
Later, Batman also met some people with strong empathy ability, and he probably touched the threshold of this ability, and roughly understood how Schiller came to such a conclusion.
But unfortunately, this is not an ability that can be learned. It's not that Batman doesn't have the ability to empathize. On the contrary, if he didn't empathize with the people of Gotham, he wouldn't be a superhero.
But for most people, this is a passive ability, an ability that is uncontrollable and can even get in the way at critical moments.
For example, when you see others crying, you want to cry too. You always overly empathize with strangers, which leads to you being too soft-hearted and getting into trouble.
Although Batman is not at this level, he is far from being able to turn this ability into his own weapon. The process from starting to empathize to reaching the conclusion is too long and abstract. It took Batman several attempts.
Then I gave up.
In fact, if he tried hard in this direction, it would not be impossible, but it was not necessary. He had already caught the murderer with this effort, so he didn't care much about it afterwards.
The discussions between him and Schiller on psychology were often inconsistent.
That's why when he wanted to send the Robins to Schiller, he gave him a copy of "The Birds". The main reason was that he felt that Schiller's specious words were closer to poetry and should be
I will have more common topics with Tagore.
Batman also learned that Schiller did not understand behavioral science, but for him, psychoanalysis was simpler and did not require any factual basis. It was just a matter of words. He was more accustomed to using this method.
And it's not just arrogance, almost all other Schillers are like this. What they say in their mouths all sound like sleep talk, but they are all surprisingly accurate.
But what happened to Schiller today? Why is there still a Batman personality in the tower? How come these words seem to come from his own mouth?
Batman's scalp feels numb when he thinks of using the words "reasonable" to describe Schiller.
Batman feels that he is somewhat ashamed of his ancestors in behavioral science.
"Batman? Batman?! What's wrong with you??"
Schiller's voice pulled Batman back to the real world. Batman was stunned for a moment and then nodded and said, "Yes, what you said...makes sense."
Batman touched his conscience and felt a little pain. The pain was even worse than the first time he tricked Dick into going to the dentist.
When faced with Schiller's conclusions, he usually just says "you are right", which means that although the result is correct, the process cannot be dwelled on.
Schiller seemed to be encouraged. He continued: "In order to achieve the purpose of annihilating your hopes, he must want to reveal the ugly side of human nature in front of you, so his background story must also be based on this. Do you think
For a hero like you, what kind of truth would break you?"
"Wait a minute." Batman held out a hand.
"What's wrong? Why do I think you are weird?"
"You...don't you think your question is a bit too specific?"
"What?"
"That is, shouldn't you ask, 'What is the thing that most closely resembles the last rays of sunset on the horizon?'
"I'm not in the habit of flirting in the interrogation room."
"Cough cough cough!" Batman swore that he was actually not that easily choked, but it really didn't work this time.
Schiller spread his hands and said: "Anyone who is involved in criminal investigation should not ask this, what the hell is the sunset on the horizon? Is it a coffee brand?"
Batman waved his hand and said, "If we look at the story in the game, then I think it might be...a weird truth?"
Schiller nodded and said: "Yes, when the clown was making up a background story for himself, he didn't know that you would come, but he definitely knew that there would be some righteous people, and he would definitely set up a heroic background for himself."
"And what makes heroes despair the most is that the world they paid the price to save actually doesn't need them to save it at all. What they seem to be saving is actually destroying the world."
"Do you think he edited the truth of the story?"
"Joker and Greed use the function of editing stories to an equal extent. If Greed is targeting the monster itself, then Joker must be targeting the story itself."
"What do you think he will do?"
"I'm more inclined to think he would set this up as a scam."
"scam?"
"That's right." Schiller leaned forward and put his elbows on his knees and said: "If weirdness really attacks everyone indiscriminately, and there is a possibility of being attacked anywhere in the world, then from a probability perspective,
Is it really possible for that kind of system to exist in the real world?”
"You mean the state system?"
"Yes, even though it is a small village that is suffering now, it is not impossible to attack the presidential palace, right? Important military bases, nuclear bomb silos, densely populated city centers, any of them may cause huge disasters."
"Not to mention that monsters are still intelligent. Their goal is extreme destruction. Even if they possess one and kill another, sooner or later they will be able to jump onto the person responsible for launching the nuclear bomb, right?"
Schiller didn't care about Batman's reaction, but said: "But even judging from some things in the computer, the outside world is relatively peaceful. There are still posters of the band on the first floor of the lighthouse. The event was held
The time does not exceed one year, which proves that there is no danger of annihilation in the last few years at least."
"You mean this disaster can actually be controlled by humans."
"That's right." Schiller nodded and said, "Weirdness will happen wherever some people want it to happen."
"There are several obvious advantages to doing this." Schiller stretched out a finger and said: "First of all, Madeleine's backstory mentioned that her family bought weird-related insurance."
"Although her family is in good condition, they are not very wealthy. This proves that this type of insurance business has spread to the common people. Faced with such natural disasters that may come at any time, how many people will choose to buy themselves an insurance policy?"
?I think the number of people will definitely not be small, this is a huge income."
"Then there are the military and security departments. Dealing with weird incidents is not the same as dealing with humans. If we want to quickly curb the development of the incident, we must use a large number of troops and weapons, and military expenditures must not be reduced."
"Furthermore, when various types of fraudsters are not so seriously ill, many people will be defrauded of money by seeking medical treatment indiscriminately because of their illness. If the weirdness is real, and if it happens, it may kill someone, then
There will definitely be people who place their hopes on feudal superstition."
"The fact that the church can develop to its current scale is also related to the existence of weirdness. If the church that Hef said will eliminate all survivors within the scope of weird existence, then this is not an ordinary control, but a force that has biological power in various countries.
Killing power, how many people can such a transcendent organization stand on the top of the pyramid?"
"And if a hero who desperately wants to eliminate all these anomalies finally discovers that the real enemy is not a monster at all, but his compatriots, how will he feel?"
"He even risked his life and fortune to turn the tide, and after going through all kinds of difficulties and dangers to pull people out of hell, what he got was not blankets and food, but the black muzzle of a gun. What would happen to him?
How do you feel?"
Batman listened to all this quietly, and then he said: "This is indeed the despair that the Joker wants, but he really underestimates me."
Schiller looked at him.
"Does he think I haven't experienced all this?" Batman said lightly: "In fact, on the way to saving Gotham, I was backstabbed an average of 8 times a day by people of the same class as me, with my teammates.
I argued 7 times, was reviled 357 times by the people I protected, and was rumored 63 times by people who benefited from my actions.”
"If I were afraid of this, I would have quit doing it a long time ago."
Batman thought for a while and said: "Although I don't think I will exhaust myself trying to save this village, but assuming that I have indeed exhausted all preparations and have no backup plan, I am sure that I can be convinced to get a gun."
The guy who faced me even tried to get a chance to talk to his boss."
"Many people call this a desperate comeback, but to me, this is far from being called a desperate situation. At least the people behind me and in front of me can understand human speech."
"Even if I have to die, I will make my last words have the greatest effect. When that happens, who can be sure that death will not be my last strategy?"
Batman finished everything calmly. He glanced at Schiller's expression subconsciously, and then choked himself again.
Why did he seem to see admiration in Schiller's eyes?
You are Schiller, not Clark! Are you serious???
Batman couldn't help but turn around. He now had an urgent urge to let the Prowler take him away.
