Chapter 1154 Professor (XVII)
"No." Schiller said without looking up: "You don't have a recommendation letter."
With a "pop", a document was handed to Schiller. Schiller said without even looking at it: "No way, no one's recommendation letter is useful. Your grades are really too bad. Your graduation thesis can let you graduate, which is already good."
Another piece of paper was handed over. Schiller glanced at it and found that it was a transfer application to Gotham University that had been stamped several times. Schiller raised his head and leaned back in his chair very relaxedly. He looked at Bruce, showed a smug smile, and then said: "You will never think that I submitted my resignation application earlier than you."
But Bruce was not panicked at all. He He took out another document and handed it to Schiller, which was the approval notice for interns at Arkham Psychiatric Hospital. Schiller snorted and said, "Anyway, I won't pass it, and I won't accept graduate students. Can you still..."
Just when he said this, the phone rang again. Schiller stood up from behind the desk, glanced at Bruce as he passed by, and then walked over to answer the phone. Gordon's loud voice came from the other side:
"Schiller, please be kind! Let Bruce find something to do!! Let him go to your place to study! If he pesters Selina every day, we will lose another excellent nurse!"
"Isn't it okay for him to study at Victor's place?" Schiller asked.
"But he is so happy studying in the Department of Physics! He only needs to spend two hours a day to complete his study tasks, and then spend 10 hours dating Selina! Please! Selina has two children. If she still has to spend time dating, who will do the nurse's job?"
Schiller rolled his eyes and said, "You mean, if he comes to the Department of Psychology and we torture each other, he can..."
When Schiller just said this, there was a knock on the door. Schiller said to the other end of the phone, "I'll hang up first," and walked over to open the door. Mrs. Miller appeared outside the door.
After she came in, she was stunned to see Bruce standing here. Then, she smiled and nodded to Bruce, and then said, "Look at this kind-hearted rich man. He just provided our hospital with a new electronic system for recording insurance information, so that nurses no longer have to write by hand!"
"He is so young, smart, and energetic. He is even willing to come to an old psychiatric hospital for internship. Jesus, I haven't seen such a great guy in many years!"
"But he..."
"Oh my God, put down your old pedantic thinking! Professor Schiller, we are almost too busy. It is a great thing to have someone to help. You won't You don't want to refuse other people's kindness, right? "
Schiller opened his mouth, turned around, and looked Bruce up and down. Bruce gave him a fake smile. After Mrs. Miller left, Schiller looked at Bruce and asked, "... What do you want to do?"
Bruce shook his head and said, "No kidding, last night, I followed the clues and found that the murderer of the hospital murder case was in a temporary base near the hospital. He seemed to want to make you the next target."
"I learned from him that many serial killers have set their sights on you." Bruce stared at Schiller's face, as if he wanted to find a flaw in his expression, and found that Schiller's expression After seeing no change, he had to ask directly: "Why do you think this is happening?"
"Maybe because... I'm a psychologist?" Schiller walked back to his desk, sat on a chair, leaned his head on the backrest, looked up and said: "You know what? This group of perverted murderers disdains to associate with ordinary people, but likes to hide among ordinary people and look at things from their perspective."
"They think that ordinary people are stupid and dull, but they are curious about their inner thoughts. They hate mainstream views and don't want to integrate into society, but they want to know what the public psychology and social direction are."
"In their view, psychology is a It is a very magical subject. You can understand them without joining the society or communicating with ordinary people. They regard this as a shortcut. "
Bruce frowned and asked, "In this case, shouldn't they study psychology as a student?"
Schiller shook his head and said, "Don't use normal people's thinking to speculate about them. When they know that there is a shortcut in the world, their first reaction is not to take this shortcut themselves, but to kill the person who takes this shortcut."
"As long as they can kill me, they can prove that they are stronger than me." Schiller lowered his eyes and then looked out the window.
Bruce shook his head. He felt that this reason was too far-fetched and had many flaws.
For example, since Schiller's reputation has long been world-renowned, why did these serial killers take action now? Moreover, they agreed that if they didn't come, they would not come at all, and if they came, they would come together?
Thinking of this, Bruce felt a flash of inspiration in his mind. Are these serial killers too organized?
How did the murderer of the hospital murder case know the movements of other serial murderers? Is there any communication between them? How did they communicate? What is the meaning of communication?
Several questions flashed through Bruce's mind. He had no idea about the other questions for the time being, but he could answer the last question immediately. What is the meaning of communication between these crazy killers? Isn't it just to show off how they killed people?
Thinking of this, a feeling of anger rose from Bruce's heart.
After experiencing so much, Batman knows that some people commit crimes out of necessity, and some people commit crimes on impulse. No matter what the reason for the crime is, they should be punished, but someone should also explore the causes of the crime and the stories behind it.
He also understands that if the complex causes of crime are superficially interpreted as personal choices, the problem of crime cannot be solved from the root. To solve crime, you must first "understand" the criminals.
The "understanding" here does not mean empathizing with the criminals, but seeing the motivations behind the criminals' crimes and the social problems they may represent, finding similarities between cases, and analyzing the causes of similar cases more from a social perspective.
But no matter what, killing for fun must be the worst kind of criminal behavior. There are almost no social problems worth discussing behind it. It is just some born lunatics who use their inherent evil and cruelty to hurt others.
Bruce, standing in place, felt that his mood became heavy again. Originally, he chose to transfer back to the psychology department just to watch the fun and ensure that the group of murderers who came to Schiller would not accidentally hurt ordinary people.
But now, he is somewhat glad that he made this decision.
After Batman returned from hell, he thought deeply. He never forgot his fundamental purpose, which was to eliminate criminals.
The key to Batman's change of mind is that he realized that eliminating an individual criminal would not achieve this goal.
Because crime itself is a social problem. Even if some people kill people in passion, in essence, it is the family and social education that fail to enable them to have good self-control.
Although some people often say that we should not blame society for everything, in fact, the personality shaping of each individual living in society is the responsibility of society. All the mistakes he makes must be borne by himself, but this does not mean that problems cannot be found from the social level.
After learning various doctrines and going through various ideological struggles and tempering, Batman found a way of his own.
Since crime is not a personal choice but a social phenomenon, he will try to solve the problems that may exist in this society and eliminate crime from the root.
After returning to Gotham, Batman has put this into practice.
For example, in terms of people's livelihood, actively carry out building renovation to deal with the chaos caused by the poor living conditions in the slums, build a city-wide water purification system, and reduce the impact of rainwater that may contain unknown substances on Gotham citizens.
In terms of education, we strongly support technical schools. At the same time, we also start with the children's help, carry out compulsory education in the direction of basic technology, and then gather small classrooms into large schools for systematic education.
In terms of employment, we relax the age threshold of Wayne Group's technical workers, and no longer worry about procedural justice. Children can at least learn some skills when they go to work in the factory. There is no benefit in following the gangs except learning all the five poisons.
At the same time, we also cooperate with Mayor Roy to implement his self-help plan for cities on the East Coast, introduce casinos from Imperial City, learn from the beach and tourism development of Blüdhaven, and cooperate with Chicago to establish a police training school.
So far, these plans have been carried out smoothly, so Bruce can have the leisure to come and see Schiller's excitement.
But now, he suddenly realized a problem. If all his plans are carried out according to the ideal state, the final result is perfect, the whole world becomes the ideal, and everyone lives the life they want, can crime be completely eliminated?
Before today, Bruce thought it should be possible.
Although crimes such as petty theft and property embezzlement may not be completely eliminated, at least, vicious crimes such as murder can be eliminated, and what Batman hates most is precisely murderers.
But at this moment, he realized that the answer might be no.
Because, in this world, there is a kind of people who are "born killers".
They are born different from ordinary people. Their brains can receive a signal that ordinary people cannot receive. They will feel happy by killing their own kind, feel addicted to it, and get deeper and deeper and can't extricate themselves.
From a probabilistic point of view, there are very, very few such people. Standing on the earth, with such a large population base, even if there are fewer, there are probably tens of thousands of people distributed all over the world.
Can Batman stop them?
Perhaps, when the Wayne Group really controls the world, Batman can indeed rely on strict monitoring equipment to find them one by one, but the question is, can he prevent such people from being born?
The so-called brain disease is just a metaphor. This group of people actually have no pathological characteristics, and there is no problem with their genes. It is foreseeable that, whether now or in the future, it is unlikely that there will be technology to tell whether a person is cold-blooded after birth.
Even if Batman's black technology allows him to judge who is born cold and cruel, he can't stop a baby from being born for this reason. If so, do people with bad tempers not need to be born? Do people with melancholy personalities not need to be born?
And for such a person, from birth to growth to the ability to kill, no one can judge whether he is such a person, and there is no way to take early prevention.
No one knows whether an ordinary child around him is planning to chop off his neighbor's head.
After thinking about it, Batman feels that he still has to rely on psychology.
Since there is no way to prevent this group of people from appearing, and to be prepared to fight them for a lifetime, it is better to take the weapon into his own hands.
"So, what are you doing here?" Schiller asked Bruce.
Bruce seemed a little absent-minded, but soon he regained his focus, looked at Schiller, and said very seriously.
"I'm going to take a shortcut."
"... Speak human language."
"I'm going back to write my paper."
