Chapter 3191: Detective is about to die (Part )
"What's wrong?" Bruce asked in his mind, and then he added, "I just think what he said is very easy to understand."
"Of course, it's easy for you to understand." Schiller said almost word by word, "Because the detective is the best among us at behavioral analysis."
"Uh……"
Very good, he had perfectly avoided his teacher's research area, Bruce thought, but he was used to it.
The main universe Batman was obviously also a little surprised by the agent's way of reasoning.
What's going on? Mind reading is banned? How does this sound reasonable?
Batman and Schiller in the main universe have known each other for quite some time. They often write letters to each other. Occasionally, Batman will mention some of the cases he has encountered recently in the letters and seek Schiller's advice.
Schiller's replies always hit the mark, but the problem is that, although he did hit the mark, it was not clear how he did it.
Batman had questioned Schiller several times how he could come to such an accurate conclusion based on just a few words in the letter, considering that he had never met the people involved in the case or examined the crime scene.
At the beginning, Schiller said some ambiguous words, which made Batman confused and even suspected that he was an impersonator.
But later, Schiller seemed to be impatient and he directly said that this was mind reading. But the problem is that Batman in the main universe also knows people who can read minds, but the conclusions they give are different from Schiller's and are not so direct at all.
This has always been a mystery to Batman.
Later, Batman met some people with strong empathy, and he roughly touched the threshold of this ability and understood how Schiller came to such a conclusion.
But unfortunately this is not a skill that can be learned. It's not that Batman lacks empathy, quite the opposite. 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 uncontrollable ability that may even get in the way at critical moments.
For example, when you see others crying, you also want to cry. You always empathize too much with strangers, which makes you too soft-hearted and causes trouble.
Although Batman has not reached this level, he is also far from being able to turn this ability into his weapon. The process from initial empathy to conclusion is too long and abstract. Batman gave up after trying a few times.
In fact, if he had tried harder in this direction, it would not have been completely impossible, but there was no need. He would have caught the murderer in that time, so he didn't care much about it later.
His discussions with Schiller on psychology were often irrelevant.
That's why when he wanted to send the Robins to Schiller, he also gave him a copy of Stray Birds. The main reason was that he felt that Schiller's specious words were closer to poetry and should have more common topics with Tagore.
Batman also realized that Schiller was not ignorant of behavioral science, but for him, psychoanalysis was simpler and did not require any factual basis. He just spoke without thinking, and he was more accustomed to using this method.
And it's not just arrogance, almost all other Schillers are like this, what they mutter sound like dreams, but they are all surprisingly accurate.
But what's wrong with this Schiller today? How come there is still a Batman personality in the tower? Why do these words sound like they came from my mouth?
Batman felt his scalp tingling at the thought of using the word "reasonable and well-founded" to describe Schiller.
Batman feels 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, then nodded and said, "Yes, what you said... makes sense."
Batman touched his conscience and felt a little pain, even more painful than the first time he tricked Dick into going to the dentist.
When faced with Schiller's conclusions, he would usually just say "you are right", meaning that although the result is correct, the process cannot be thought about in detail.
Schiller seemed to be encouraged. He continued, "In order to destroy your hope, he must want to reveal the ugly side of human nature to you, so his background story must be set up for this purpose. What kind of facts do you think will make you collapse for a hero like you?"
"Wait a minute." Batman held out a hand.
"What's wrong? Why do I think you're weird?"
"Don't you think your question is a little too specific?"
"what?"
"Like, shouldn't you be asking something like 'what's the closest thing to 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 not that easily choked, but this time it really didn't work.
Schiller spread his hands and said, "Anyone who has any knowledge of criminal investigation shouldn't ask this question. What the hell is a sunset on the horizon? A brand of coffee?"
Batman waved his hand and said, "If we look at this story in the game, then I think it might be... a weird truth?"
Schiller nodded and said, "That's right. When the Joker was making up his background story, he didn't know you would come, but he definitely knew there would be some righteous people, and he would definitely set up a heroic background for himself."
"And what can make heroes despair the most is that the world they paid a price to save doesn't actually need them to save it. Their seemingly saving behavior is actually destroying the world."
"You think he edited the truth of the story?"
"The Joker and Greed make equal use of the story editing function. If Greed targets the monster itself, then the Joker must target the story itself."
"What do you think he will do?"
"I'm more inclined to think he's setting this up as a hoax."
"scam?"
"That's right." Schiller leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees and said, "If the weird really attacks everyone indiscriminately, and there is a possibility of being attacked anywhere in the world, then from a probabilistic point of view, is it really possible for the system in the real world to exist?"
"You mean the state system?"
"That's right. Even though it's a small village that's suffering now, it's not impossible for the monster to attack the presidential palace, right? Important military bases, nuclear silos, densely populated city centers, any of which could cause a huge disaster."
"Not to mention that monsters are intelligent. Their goal is to cause extreme destruction. Even if they possess one and kill one, sooner or later they will jump onto the person responsible for launching the nuclear missile, right?"
Schiller didn't care about Batman's reaction, but said, "But even from some of the things in the computer, the outside world is still relatively peaceful. There is a band poster on the first floor of the lighthouse. The band has been held for no more than a year, which proves that there is no danger of world destruction in the past few years at least."
"You mean this disaster can actually be controlled by humans."
"That's right." Schiller nodded and said, "Some people can make weird things happen wherever they want."
"There are several obvious advantages to doing this." Schiller raised a finger and said, "First, Madeline's background story mentioned that her family bought insurance related to the weird."
"Although her family is well-off, they are not wealthy. This proves that this type of insurance business has been popularized among the common people. Faced with natural disasters that may come at any time, how many people will choose to buy themselves a policy? I think the number will definitely not be small. This is a huge income."
"Then there are the military and security departments. Dealing with strange events is not as difficult as dealing with humans. If we want to quickly curb the development of the event, we must mobilize a large number of troops and weapons, and we must not reduce the military budget."
"In addition, there are all kinds of scammers. Even when the illness is not that serious, many people will be defrauded of their money by seeking medical treatment for their illness. If the supernatural really exists and can kill people as soon as it appears, then there will definitely be people who put their hopes on feudal superstition."
"The church's growth to its current size is also related to the existence of strange things. If the church, as Hef said, will eliminate all survivors within the range of strange things, then this is not just ordinary control, but the power of life and death in all countries. How many people can such a transcendent organization allow to stand on the top of the pyramid?"
"And if the hero who desperately wants to eliminate all these anomalies finally finds out that the real enemy is not a monster at all, but his compatriots, how will he feel?"
"Even after he risked his life and property to save the people from hell and went through countless hardships, what he got was not blankets and food, but the black muzzle of a gun. How would he feel?"
Batman listened to all this quietly, and then he said: "This is indeed the despair that the Joker wants, but he really underestimated me."
Schiller looked at him.
"Does he think I haven't been through all this?" Batman said lightly, "In fact, on the way to saving Gotham, I was backstabbed 2.8 times by people of the same class as me, argued with my teammates 1.7 times, was abused 357 times by the people I protected, and was slandered 63 times by people who benefited from my actions."
"If I was afraid of this, I would have quit long ago."
Batman thought for a moment and said, "Although I don't think I will exhaust myself trying to save this village, if I do use up all my preparations and have no more backup plans, I am confident that I can convince the man pointing the gun at me, and even get a chance to talk to his boss."
"Many people call this a Jedi comeback, but to me, it's far from being a Jedi. At least the people behind me and in front of me can understand what I'm saying."
"Even if I must die, I will make my last words play the greatest role. When the time comes, who can be sure that death is not my last resort?"
Batman said everything very calmly. He subconsciously glanced at Schiller's expression, 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.
Greed: Batman, you have come to this day too!
