Chapter 1905: The Clinking of Tin Cans (V)

Chapter 1879 Tin Cans Clinking (V)

There is a phrase often used to describe people with short-sightedness, called "forgetting righteousness when seeing small profits", and the term "small profits" also has a very obvious derogatory meaning.

But the fact is that most human beings are very easy to be bought by small profits, and the essence is that when most things in an environment make people feel happy, they will instinctively relax, and all behaviors that please others are essentially creating such an environment, or at least creating such an illusion.

Letting people know that they are safe is the first step to open their hearts, making people feel cared for is the second step, and making people feel understood is the third step, which is also a common method used by psychopaths to create a safe environment.

People always wonder why there are so many people who can't see through the nature of scumbags and even think that they are stupid people who are doing good for themselves, but in fact, the deceived are not stupid, it is because most people can't resist a person who is deliberately and humble to please you.

Even if it doesn't work once or ten times, they can try a hundred times or a thousand times, and there will always be one time when you will be moved, and as long as this safe environment is created well, even if there is a big harm afterwards, it will always make the victim recall this safe, warm and comfortable environment that he has never seen before, and even take the initiative to find reasons for the other party's change of temperament.

In fact, there is no big change of temperament at all. The initial gentleness and kindness are to create a safe environment. No one can say that they will never be fooled by such people.

When Schiller entered the breakfast room, he knew that the Ultimate Iron Man not only wanted to take this step, but also wanted to dance a tango in this area.

Sure enough, the excitement made him have no time to reflect on whether there were any flaws in his words yesterday, but he planned to do more to lay a solid foundation.

Schiller walked up and shook hands with an alien who looked not much different from humans. He recognized that it was the logistics manager of the Shi'ar Empire Royal Chamber of Commerce responsible for regional trade in the ring star area. This is definitely a big shot.

Ultimate Iron Man immediately came over with a smile, patted Schiller's arm and said, "I met Ms. Nachi at the ball yesterday. I wanted to introduce you to her, but she had heard of you from a royal family."

Schiller said a few humble words, and then the three of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, introduced each other's origins, and then walked to the table next to them to talk about business while having breakfast.

Mainly, Schiller was chatting with Mrs. Nachi about the current situation of the Ring Star Region. Seeing that the time was almost up, Ultimate Iron Man spoke up and said, "To be honest, Madam, Dr. Schiller has been here for so long this time and has encountered some troubles..."

Ultimate Iron Man briefly introduced Schiller's situation. Mrs. Nachi did not smile and perfunctorily pass it over like other aliens, but asked seriously, "Are you sure he was taken away by a disc-shaped flying saucer?"

This is just a background story made up by Schiller, citing the most famous alien flying saucer theory of mankind, but looking at Mrs. Nachi's expression, it seems that this is really the case.

Mrs. Nach shook her head and said, "This is actually a bit troublesome. I seem to have heard of this kind of flying saucer, but I'm not sure. I can only tell you that there is a tavern called Red Feather Flower on the spiral main star over Centaurus. The news there may be more informed."

Schiller immediately showed a grateful expression. The three of them exchanged pleasantries for a while. Looking at the look on the face of the Ultimate Iron Man, Schiller knew that the time was almost right.

After Mrs. Nach left, Schiller hurried to the room. The Ultimate Iron Man didn't catch up with him at all. Looking at Schiller's back as he left, the Ultimate Iron Man's face darkened.

Not long after, the Ultimate Iron Man came to Schiller's room and found Schiller packing his luggage. Schiller saw him coming and said while packing his things, "Thank you very much. This is the most useful clue I have obtained in recent times."

"People often say that opportunities are fleeting, so I have to hurry over. I will not forget your kindness, but I will tell you in detail after I come back." Schiller said very gratefully.

But the Ultimate Iron Man doesn't want gratitude.

He knew that this step was a good one, but it did not achieve the effect he wanted. Schiller's focus was not on his help and friendship. He only wanted to find his brother.

This was not good news. The Ultimate Iron Man knew very well that if Schiller and his brother had a closer emotional bond and they met again after a long separation, then he would not be able to get between them no matter how hard he tried.

In the same period of time, a person's emotional support can only be one other person, and there can be no more. If he wants to get the powerful abilities of the brothers, he must find a way to become their only emotional support, instead of letting them rely on each other.

So the Ultimate Iron Man said, "Congratulations, Dr. Schiller, but are you really going to Centaurus now?"

Schiller looked up at him in confusion, and the Ultimate Iron Man cleared his throat and said, "It's good to have clues, but from Mrs. Nach's vague tone, you should be able to guess that the person who kidnapped your brother is probably a very powerful enemy. Are you sure you can rescue him?"

Schiller showed a hesitant look.

"And so many years have passed. If your brother is still alive, he may have started a family on another planet. Your sudden appearance may disrupt his existing rhythm of life, and he may not want to return to Earth."

"You should also consider that your superhero friends may not want such a powerful mutant to return to Earth, and perhaps even the mutants themselves. If there are people who don't welcome him, do you still want to start a war?"

Schiller showed a sad and unbelievable expression.

But he actually said in his heart: "Here it comes, a necessary step after showing care, pouring cold water, it comes."

Many people think that the so-called PUA is actually to constantly suppress and deny the value of the victim's existence, but this is not the essence. As I said, the essence of manipulation is love.

You must first let the other party feel your love, so that suppression and denial can take advantage of the opportunity without alerting people's self-protection mechanism.

After creating a safe and warm environment for the other party, people will instinctively relax their protection mechanism and open their hearts.

There is experimental evidence that people are more willing to think positively when they are living a good life, but when they encounter difficulties, they will inevitably look at things with pessimism and suspicion.

So in a safe and comfortable environment, some suppression and denial will sound like sincere advice. Of course, denial alone is not enough. After "pouring cold water", it will be followed by "I am also doing this for your own good", and the real Yan State map "I am gentle, calm and smart, but you are clumsy, reckless and stupid".

"Schiller, I think we are of the same kind, so I really hope I can help. I advise you not to go to Centaurus first, not because I want to separate you from your family, but simply because of your situation."

"Your brother has been separated from you for so many years. Even if there is still some affection, it is definitely not as good as the friends and relatives you spend every day with. You rashly find him now and tell him that the universe is going to be destroyed, so I come to you for help. Doesn't this sound like exploitation?"

"Your brother may not think that you have gone through so much trouble to finally find him. He will only think that you didn't find him when you didn't need him, but you remembered him when the disaster came. Your longing for him and affection for him should not be misunderstood like this."

"Even if you bring him back to Earth, your superhero friends will think that we have been with you for so long, but you didn't listen to our opinions and insisted on bringing a dangerous person back to our home. Doesn't this also destroy the friendship between you?"

"I understand that mutants are not united by nature. Heart, no matter which faction you belong to, all factions must consider the impact that your brothers' cooperation may have on the current situation. If they have a grudge in the future, your situation will be very embarrassing. "

Ultimate Iron Man walked into the room and sat side by side with Schiller on the edge of his bed. He put a hand on Schiller's shoulder and said, "Of course I understand. You have been separated for so long and can't wait to see each other, but there is a long way to go, and you have to make plans for the future, right?"

Schiller seemed to calm down suddenly. He took a deep breath and sighed, turned his head and looked at the Ultimate Iron Man and said, "You are right. I was a little impulsive. Thank you very much, Tony. You not only helped me find clues about Owen, but also helped me avoid many troubles in the future."

Ultimate Iron Man's eyes immediately flashed with ecstasy. Schiller called him Tony for the first time, and he probably called his friend Hero Iron Man like this before. It was also the first time he revealed his brother's name, which indicated that he was showing trust.

The Ultimate Iron Man sighed as if he was relieved and said, "You scared me a little. When I just met you, I thought you were a gentle doctor. I didn't expect that you were more active than an agent. Have you never encountered any big troubles because of your impulsiveness in these years?"

Schiller lowered his head and smiled embarrassedly, saying, "There are some troubles, but other people tolerate me."

"Then you must have a very good circle of friends. If you ask me, Dr. Schiller, you can't be so impulsive in this situation. All alien races are watching."

"Don't say anything else. Your farewell to Mrs. Qi just now was a little impolite. You were a little too anxious."

Here it comes again, Schiller thought in his heart, and finally entered the stage of suppressing and disintegrating self-confidence.

So, he opened his eyes in cooperation, as if he didn't understand why the Ultimate Iron Man said that. The Ultimate Iron Man smiled and said, "This makes me a little embarrassed. After all, I invited Mrs. Nach here. I'm afraid she won't invite me to the dance in the future."

"Oh my God, I'm really sorry." Schiller deliberately raised his voice a little, weighing the degree of emotional expression in his mind, and then said, "I don't know, I may... I may be a little too anxious."

"It doesn't matter." The Ultimate Iron Man hurriedly comforted, "She is a very generous lady. I was just joking just now, but don't do this again. It would be bad if someone catches you."

Schiller nodded, making an expression that he took the words of the Ultimate Iron Man as advice and took them to heart.

Seeing that the Ultimate Iron Man showed that kind of satisfied expression that was hidden but not bad, Schiller smiled in his heart.

The next morning, when the Ultimate Iron Man saw Schiller in the breakfast room, he found that he was pale and tired, and looked like he had not slept all night.

Schiller came over, gave the Ultimate Iron Man a wry smile and said, "Sorry, I look a little bad. I didn't sleep all night last night and kept thinking about what you said."

"I must thank you again and apologize to you. I was too anxious before and didn't consider your feelings."

The Ultimate Iron Man suddenly felt an extreme happiness exploding in his mind. The wailing of the prey caught by the trap seemed like the most beautiful fairy music. The strong smell of blood caused more intense hunger. The Ultimate Iron Man could hardly suppress the clamor of thirst for blood in his heart. He knew that it was time to close the net.

There were only a few ripples in Schiller's heart. His threshold had been raised too high a long time ago, and this kind of scene could no longer give him any effective stimulation. But looking at the almost uncontrollable excitement of the Ultimate Iron Man, he also knew that it was time to close the net.
