The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman.

Chapter 1147 Professor (Seventeen)
Bruce fell into deep thought.

This is not the first time he has received a point of view from Schiller that he has never heard before, which is quite strange but seems to be very reasonable, but this time the angle is particularly strange.

In the three views of a normal human being, laziness is wrong, but now Schiller tells him that if a person is not lazy, he may become more terrifying.

In fact, Bruce knew in his heart that he had all the symptoms that Schiller mentioned. Although he had improved to a certain extent now, he still showed some symptoms.

The most typical thing is that since childhood, Bruce has felt several times that when he has achieved some achievements, a voice in his heart is telling him that this is nothing to be happy about, it is just a trivial achievement.

But at the same time, another voice told him, you are a peerless genius who is different from everyone else, your achievements have surpassed everyone else, you are an unprecedented great person.

From a very young age, Bruce wondered about this, and he even wondered if he was a little split.

Why is there always a force that suppresses his excitement, and at the same time, another force that makes him over-affirm himself?

Bruce didn't find a clear answer until he was an adult.

But today, he is almost not happy with any of his achievements, and at the same time, he already believes from the bottom of his heart that he is a peerless genius.

Although, this is indeed the case, but think about it, where do the processes leading to these two results, these two mysterious forces come from?

Bruce put his hands on the table, leaned forward, looked at Schiller and said, "You mean, it's because, I can't be lazy?"

"The inertia of the human brain is stronger than you think." Schiller stared at Bruce's eyes without blinking and said, "I think you must have read a theory, that is, humans can be domesticated .”

"It's the same with the brain, when you keep exercising a part of the mind, it becomes stronger, it reacts faster, it executes better."

Bruce nodded, this is not some difficult and obscure knowledge, even people who have never studied psychology have heard of it.

For example, the development and exercise of the left brain and the right brain, most of the human body organs, within a reasonable range of exercise, become stronger with use, even if it is the deformation of the vitreous body caused by excessive use of the eyes, that is, myopia, it is actually exercise stronger result.

"If you only have the experience of constantly executing things in place and achieving success, then your brain will only process similar emotions, which will lead to two results, one is what I said before, chronic depression and depression, Grumpy and violent, and overly arrogant and narcissistic."

"Another situation is that when facing a sudden failure, your brain is unable to process negative emotions, which leads to these emotions, which cannot be balanced, leading to excessive pessimism, resulting in mental illness."

"That's why, in the eyes of many people, some depressed patients, who were originally smooth sailing, suddenly became depressed when they encountered a little thing."

"In other words, when successful people are hit suddenly, the probability of suffering from mental illness is higher than that of ordinary people. It is because their brains are not good at dealing with negative emotions when they fail, resulting in too deep and heavy emotions, which cannot be balanced. Become ill for a long time."

Bruce looked down for a few minutes, then looked up at Schiller and said, "So how did you acquire the trait of laziness?"

"It took me a few years to piece together a variety of negative personality traits before I came up with a name called sloth, but in fact, it's a stitch monster with four different faces."

Schiller touched his forehead, recalled, and said: "At that time, my attitude towards psychotherapy was not much better than yours. In most cases, it was mainly to deceive."

"At that time, my attitude towards the homework left by the psychiatrist was similar to your attitude towards my thesis. The night before handing in the homework, I started to die at the speed of life and death, and I only had to hand in something tomorrow."

Bruce looked at Schiller's face, and now he knew why Schiller could see every time that someone in the class had finished their thesis the night before.

Because I have been in the rain, I tore off the umbrellas of the students, right?

"But then, I realized that the doctor was right, that some parts of my brain were completely rusted from not getting enough exercise, and I had to find a way to move them."

"So, I started to build the personality trait of laziness very carefully, but in fact, it is very difficult." Schiller shook his head and said, "It's completely counter-intuitive. I didn't feel any inexplicable resistance. It’s just too hard to fantasize about having that kind of resistance and make things fail because of it.”

"Until I came to Gotham, this personality was still completely different."

"However, because this city is indeed dangerous, and I did screw up some things, the frequency of failures is much higher than before, so it is beneficial for me to build this personality trait."

After finishing speaking, Schiller began to count on his fingers: "Catwoman stole the diamond bottle containing the symbiote, Green Lantern ransacked the mental hospital and caused me to lose an office, Hal destroyed the central turntable and caused me to be stuck in traffic, Owl The court was on the way to the annual vacation, broke my car, went out on the annual vacation and got seasick and was stranded on a deserted island, your helicopter engine blew up my tower, Batcat and Pikachu blew up my house..."

Bruce covered his forehead. He felt that the sympathy that just appeared in his heart must be his hallucination. He didn't notice that Schiller's life in the past four years was as exciting as his.

"In short, under my deliberate indulgence, although the people who caused these things had a little accident, the failures have become real failures, and I have no intention to redeem them."

"During this stage, the trait of laziness has gradually changed from a stitch monster to an independent trait, possessing the ability to act independently, and the next turning point happened recently."

"The arrogance that was originally divided into two halves is gradually merging into one. The most powerful greed has also gained more powerful power. But in fact, this process is the biggest failure for both of them. It was a big blow."

Hearing Schiller's words, Bruce gradually frowned. He thought about it carefully. The original Schiller was also a natural-born killer, so he also had the characteristics of other natural-born killers.

What can break their defenses the most is not to argue with them and persuade them, but to completely ignore and ignore them.

What Arrogance did and the arrangements he made were actually completely ignored by his friends, and it was indeed a big blow to him.

"Their failures and the negative emotions they generate can reversely shape the personality traits of laziness, but at the same time, they gain more powerful power, which can increase the strength of personality trait fragments. In this way, the real laziness is born gone."

"And the reason why I say that I am mediocre and ordinary is precisely because, from then on, I have all the qualities that ordinary people should have." Schiller also leaned forward, stared into Bruce's eyes and said:
"For me now, thinking and emotion are like a mystery. I can no longer control that sophisticated machine, block what I want to block, and keep what I want to keep."

"When I was doing something, I also felt inexplicable resistance, which made me want to give up. After I gave up, because I didn't achieve results, I would also think in reverse, it would be better if I didn't give up at that time."

"At the same time, I also lost most of the foresight that can be brought about through precise calculation and rational judgment. Simply put, I lost the ability to turn one thing around hundreds of times, just like ordinary people. , take a step and take a look."

"What's the benefit of this?" Bruce asked inexplicably, "You have worked so hard to turn yourself into a weak person?"

Schiller shook his head helplessly and said, "Did you really listen to what I said before? Do you think that ordinary people have a harder life than you, so they are all weak? Is there a possibility that ordinary people are actually worse than you?" Are you happier?"

Schiller seemed to be facing a piece of rotten wood. He had to take a deep breath, stood up, put his hands on the table, looked at Bruce and said, "I ask you, what are you getting stronger for?"

"To save the world?" Bruce replied with some uncertainty.

"So what can you get by saving the world?"

"I don't want anything." Bruce was a little firmer.

"No, you want to be happy." Schiller looked condescendingly into his eyes and said, "Then why can't I give up my ability to save the world in exchange for happiness?"

Bruce pursed his lips and looked very disapproving. He asked a question: "If you become an ordinary person, how are you going to deal with the serial killers that come after you?"

"I've said it all, don't think of ordinary people as fools, as long as they don't have special mental illnesses, and their abilities don't exceed a certain limit value, they are considered ordinary people. Don't ordinary people have detectives?"

"Are you sure the detective can kill two serial killers in three nights? Maybe there are more than two." Bruce said, looking Schiller up and down.

"If only you had as much imagination when you were writing your dissertation as you do now." Schiller rolled his eyes.

After speaking, he stood up, walked to the phone on the cabinet, picked up the receiver, and dialed, Schiller said to that side.

"Sheriff Gordon, it's like this. I recently learned that a serial killer is after me. I hope to be protected by the police... Oh, is that right? Well, I'll go to the Gotham Police Station to find out later talk."

When Schiller put down the phone, the early morning light just entered the room, and the newsboy ran across the door of the room, followed the newspaper delivery slot on the cabinet, and threw a brand new newspaper in.

Schiller picked up the newspaper that had just been delivered, and walked back to Bruce while unfolding the newspaper. Bruce pointed to his left hand and said: "Your hand is stained with ink, you really don't intend to Do you have finger cots?"

Schiller snapped the newspaper shut, tilted his head, looked at Bruce over his glasses and said.

"You can wash your hands when they get dirty... cold knowledge."
