Chapter 996: Battle for the Tower (30)

Batman thought of the question he had asked at the beginning, was he sick?

Batman woke up from his trance and looked at Schiller and asked, "... Am I sick?"

Schiller, who was eating, froze there. He slowly turned his head to look at Batman. The fork was hanging in the air. He couldn't lift it up or put it down. He just froze there.

Batman's question really didn't work for Schiller, so he continued to eat like a parent whose child was bullied by classmates. Then he asked, "Did anyone tell you anything?"

Schiller's reaction made Batman narrow his eyes. Schiller cut the meat on the plate repeatedly and gave a universal answer, "You are fine. We are very similar."

"It seems that I am indeed sick." Batman said very straightforwardly. Schiller paused and said, "If it was any other student, I would ask him to describe his symptoms, but if it was you, I would not count on it."

After that, he put down the tableware in his hand, wiped his mouth with a napkin, looked at Batman and said, "Although I have a license as a psychologist, I have not given you a formal diagnosis, because I am really worried that after I give you the diagnosis, you will ask me about the root of the word. ”

Batman certainly heard the sarcasm in Schiller’s tone. He was about to speak when Schiller stretched out a hand to interrupt him. Then he stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyebrows and said, “Wait a minute, this won’t work. I’m a doctor. I have to be patient with patients…”

“Okay, I’m a licensed psychologist. You can trust my professional level. If you are free now, you can listen to my advice…”

What Schiller didn’t expect was that Batman actually straightened his back, leaned back on the chair, and listened. Schiller shook his head and said, “You have to relax a little. It just so happens that new barbecue has arrived. We can eat and chat…”

After that, he instructed the devil to put some barbecue on Batman’s plate. Batman picked up the cutlery, but he didn’t mean to eat it at all. He kept looking at Schiller’s eyes, as nervous as a student waiting for papers to be distributed in the classroom.

"Don't be nervous. I'm a psychiatrist. I won't give you a critical illness notice. In fact, I'm glad that I'm diagnosing you now. If it were four years ago, I would have cramped my wrists just by doing the pathological analysis."

Schiller's tone was much more relaxed than usual, showing a kind of indifference and leisure from the inside out. He said: "If you didn't show any abnormalities in your childhood and you haven't been diagnosed, then you may not be a spectrum patient, which means that you are different from me and you don't have autism."

"Congenital health, acquired trauma, and traumatic stress disorder are topics that cannot be avoided. Your performance is actually very obvious, especially the re-experiencing symptoms. Over the years, you have never "I can get rid of the shadow of the scene in the alley."

"The second is delusional disorder. I think you should have learned the definition related to it, but it is actually inseparable from the mental stimulation you received and the subsequent symptoms."

Schiller tapped the plate with his fork and said, "After you were mentally stimulated, you were in a lonely state for a long time. In this state, you had too many urgent things to solve, that is, your revenge plan."

"But at that time, because you were too young, you didn't have many actions to put into practice, and you had too few people to communicate with. Long-term indulgence in virtual fantasy will lead to a certain inertia of thinking, which will trigger subsequent delusions. "

"In delusional disorder, I think you are somewhere between persecutory delusional disorder and grandiose delusional disorder."

"First, you overestimate the malice of others and are filled with inexplicable worries about extremely vicious events that are not yet possible in reality."

"Second, you overestimate your own abilities and think that you are energetic, sharp-minded, and omnipotent."

"Of course, to some extent, your worries and your confidence are reasonable, but if you exceed a certain limit and continue to develop, it may lead to brain and nerve lesions, which is something you don't want to see."

"Of course, there are also many people who are like me. Generalized anxiety disorder. "When Schiller said this, Batman raised his eyebrows. Schiller seemed to know what he was going to say and spoke in advance:

"You think anxiety disorder is tachycardia, nervousness, and cold sweats, but in fact, the most obvious symptom you show is increased alertness, which is manifested as sensitivity to external stimuli and easy startle reaction."

"Of course, because you are born with a high IQ, the module of logical thinking suppresses emotions, resulting in unclear emotional expression, so the externalized manifestations are not many, but there are still some."

"This part of the performance may also be caused by personality-reality disintegration disorder, that is, the symptoms of excessive attention to the surrounding environment."

"In short, because of delusional disorder, you often feel that some malicious events that are not possible under the right conditions may happen at any time, which will trigger your anxiety disorder and increase your alertness. At the same time, the symptoms of excessive attention to the surrounding environment caused by personality-derealization disorder will make you aware of every movement around you and question the authenticity of the environment, and then have persecution delusions, forming a cycle..."

"At the same time, the symptoms of exaggerated delusions will make you feel that you have enough ability to deal with extremely malicious events in your imagination, so you will think deeply about how to solve similar events."

"Long-term wandering in these thoughts will lead to inertia of thinking and brain power deviation, making the symptoms worse."

After listening, Batman was silent for a while, and then said: "My willpower has been tested by the green lantern ring. Of course, I am not saying that is the only benchmark, but I think my willpower should be beyond ordinary people..."

"This goes back to the cognitive theory that you are most interested in." Schiller answered very patiently: "If your cognition has always been wrong, then the stronger the willpower, the faster the symptoms will worsen.

"I feel that I can't feel some emotions." Batman described his symptoms as accurately as possible: "My mind tells me that I should be happy or sad, but I don't have similar feelings, just like a car without an engine..."

Schiller paused, as if thinking, and said: "Then I take back my previous conclusion. You may indeed have some spectrum characteristics, but perhaps it is because of your super high IQ that makes up for the impact of similar symptoms, so it has not been discovered in time.

"In short, your mind can use theoretical analysis to figure out what emotions the other person should be in, and what emotions you should be in, so you can express this emotion through acting, right?

Batman recalled, and then said: "When I was a child, my parents asked me to play with other children. I thought I should be their leader, so I was very excited in the chase and very happy after the victory, but in fact, I didn't feel anything."

"It seems that it is true. "Schiller nodded and said, "I am the same, but the difference is that I am weak in my own emotions, but I can be very sensitive to other people's emotions, which is why I can be a psychologist."

"In fact, if you are already able to act skillfully, there is no need to treat autism, because the process of autism treatment is to teach you how to act like a normal person. If you can do this and do it well, then this is not a problem that needs to be solved urgently."

"I suggest that you first solve the delusional disorder that makes you nervous and abnormal for a long time, otherwise, it may also interfere with your expression of emotions. "Schiller looked at Batman and said, "It is not a big deal to focus on illusions and ignore reality when you have nothing to worry about, but do you really have nothing to worry about?"

"Let's not talk about the various practical problems that must be faced in saving Gotham. The education of Aisha and Dick is a difficult hurdle that cannot be overcome."

"You can't always think that one day in the future, someone will harm them, or they will encounter some big trouble in the future, and then deduce what you want to teach them based on the results of the delusion. ”

“Real education should focus on the present, what do they need at the moment? What are they expressing? What kind of emotions are they conveying? Then give feedback on these emotions and behaviors, which can help them build a stable personality. ”

“If you only look at their future and don’t give them any feedback on the emotions they are giving, it is easy to cause personality defects. Then no matter how many tricks and techniques you teach them to deal with danger, they will eventually be ruined by personality defects and irrational decisions. ”

After hearing this, Batman was silent for a long time. He thought of his parents, especially his mother.

Thomas occasionally talked to him about the future, encouraging him to study hard, master various survival skills, and be an excellent person. However, Martha almost never talked to him about these, but only responded to his every tiny action.

Batman didn’t know whether he missed these two people or the response and understanding he could get from every look, expression, and action before the two gunshots.

After that, there was no more.

To some extent, Batman was not understood, but this did not mean that his stubborn actions were not good enough. In fact, it is these choices that cannot be understood by ordinary people that are understood by his friends.

Gordon understands his justice, Harvey understands his philosophy, and Alfred understands his hatred. However, the understanding that humans need is not only in these grand aspects. Those subtle emotional feedbacks are the most important source of security.

Batman did not respond to these diagnoses, as if he had acquiesced, but Schiller felt that this was a good start, because the biggest manifestation of delusional disorder is unawareness. If he did not refute, it just meant that he began to recover.

But at this time, Schiller said: "Batman, do you know? You make me very unhappy."

Batman looked at Schiller, not knowing why he said that, and Schiller put down the tableware, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and said: "I invited you to dinner, but you didn't eat anything. Don't you think it's very impolite?"

Batman subconsciously looked at the food on his plate, and then looked at General Rot Heart hanging on the hook. Reason told him that it was a demon, no different from the cattle and sheep he usually ate.

However, General Rot Heart was a very typical humanoid demon, so Batman felt a physical disgust for the very obvious joint structure on the plate.

Seeing Schiller's threatening eyes, Batman was not moved at all. Tolerating Schiller's behavior was already his bottom line.

The next second, Batman was strangled by the neck. The strange demon strangled Batman's neck with his elbow. Batman struggled hard, and then he was thrown heavily to the ground next to him with the chair.

With a "bang", Batman felt that his head was hit hard, and before his vision gradually darkened, he saw the reflection of the leather shoes under his suit pants.

The last thing he saw was Schiller squatting down, the fork approaching, and the meat being put into his mouth.

And the last thing he heard was Schiller's smiling voice:

"You've eaten enough of the workers' meat. Now, come and taste the taste of the bourgeoisie like you."
