Chapter 2203: Battle of Two Cities! (Part 45)
Chapter 2177 Battle of Two Cities! (Forty-five)
The Penguin, who had been recognized by Spider-Man, was in a mixed mood.
The Penguin's eyes flashed, and he turned and walked towards the dilapidated house in the back and said, "Come in."
Peter could clearly feel the change in his attitude. From the initial precautions and vigilance, he suddenly relaxed. He didn't understand why.
But now he couldn't tell Bruce on the other end of the headset a lot of his questions, because there were not many opportunities to gain the trust of such people, and the opportunity was fleeting. He had to grasp it. By the time Bruce answered his questions, the Penguin had already driven him out.
But Peter had no experience in this kind of thing. He didn't know how he should behave next to further impress the Penguin. Even if Peter knew that the Penguin could not become a good person, so he didn't make preparations to persuade people to be good, it would not be so easy to gain his trust.
Just when Peter was uneasy, he suddenly remembered that he had another trump card, the great black sun would definitely be able to help him.
Peter sighed, and the gray fog spread as he concentrated, and he stood in front of the huge black sun again.
Peter didn't know how to pray, so he could only briefly express his confusion and emphasized.
"In fact, I don't know what kind of person he is, so I don't know how to get along with him. I don't know what he thinks now, so I don't know what to say next. Do you have any suggestions?"
Peter received the life story of the Penguin. He read it carefully and scratched his head in confusion.
He could see some problems from the Penguin's origin, but these problems were obviously irreversible. Peter had no confidence in healing Oswald Cobblepot's childhood trauma in such a short time. He was never good at this.
Peter got some more information.
These materials made him more confused, because the cover of the information clearly said - "Psychoanalysis".
"God." Peter screamed, "You don't want me to learn a psychological treatment method from scratch here? This is impossible!"
Then Peter found that he couldn't get out.
He could only sigh sadly and resigned himself to the fate of looking down at the stack of information. The information was not thick at all, and was not even as long as Cobblepot's life story.
Peter swore that he had read the information with the most serious attitude in his life, but he still felt that the whole article could be summed up in one word - "blind guessing".
But Peter Parker was not Batman. He immediately put his fists in front of him with piety and looked at the black sun in front of him with the most sincere eyes.
"I will definitely study hard in the future, but please give me the answer this time, please, I can't understand these things without examples!"
Peter tried hard to recall the words used by his Catholic classmate when praying, and mixed in some scientific terms that he was very good at, and made up a long prayer in the hope of impressing this mysterious god and getting the answer.
Isn't this how God works? Peter thought, if he still has to learn knowledge to get the answer, why doesn't he do scientific research?
Other popes can receive divine revelation directly, and I am also a son of God. Why do I have to study for 20 years to ask God for a solution?
Peter heard the sigh of the black sun, but he finally got the answer.
From this answer, Peter learned that the first step of psychoanalysis is to understand the attributes of the object of analysis, mainly to analyze the most significant characteristics of his personality from his past experiences, and to find the attributes related to the current situation they are facing.
Undoubtedly, the most important attribute now is that Penguin has always been indifferent to good and evil and only cares about interests, so it is not important to him who recognizes him, superheroes or super criminals.
After analyzing this point, a significant contradiction arises. Since it is not important to him who recognizes him, how can Penguin's attitude change after Spider-Man recognizes him?
From this, it is derived that what is special about Spider-Man.
There is no doubt that Spider-Man is a good person, but there are many good people in this world, why is Spider-Man special?
When Spider-Man was observing Gotham, the people of Gotham were also observing him, and then they found that this guy was a good man who should not exist, extremely outrageous, and absolutely impeccable.
He was not the kind of good man who had a lot of qualifications, the attributive was longer than the real name, and could only be identified in different occasions and time periods.
He was the kind of good man who could not be found fault with the lunatics in Gotham in the universal values, and he did not even have the attribute of power.
The most special thing about Spider-Man is that he always calls himself a hero of ordinary people, and he did so during his stay in Gotham.
He did not go to Arkham Asylum to beat up those lunatics, although he had the ability to do so, and he did not go to the buildings that Batman often went to to stake out and stop the gang fights when he saw them.
What he does most often is living in the slums, helping this person fix electrical appliances today, helping that person fix water pipes tomorrow, checking one street after another, not letting go of any evil forces that bully and oppress others, distinguishing right from wrong, being righteous, and adhering to a very simple view of good and evil from beginning to end.
His view of good and evil is not the kind that has been baptized by society, knows how to compromise and tolerate, or has become less pure, but is precisely the most simple human pursuit of beauty.
And no one can accuse him of being empty, because he practices what he preaches, and he believes that he can change a little bit and help a person. No matter whether this place can be saved, even if I make one person's life a little better, my efforts are meaningful.
He is even willing to spend 10 times the energy to make 01 changes. As long as he thinks it can make a difference, he will do his best to do it. He is an impeccable doer.
In the crazy and chaotic little brains of the Gotham people he helped, in the philosophical speculations full of inspiration and sharp thinking, there is no word that can add color to the souls of such people.
This is not crazy enough, the crazy thing is that the Joker couldn't do it.
If Superman lifts up the two threatened ships to save everyone, it is because he is both just and powerful, and he doesn't care what the people in the ship think, as long as they are saved.
In a way, he is like a sheepdog on the periphery of the flock, and he is so powerful that the wolf's teeth can't hurt him at all, so he can protect the flock very well.
If it is Spider-Man, he really can't lift two ships at the same time, but he will definitely rush to the exploded ship before the last second of the explosion, just to save more people after the disaster.
He is the kindest and most determined leader of the flock, never leaving the flock, and always ready to sacrifice.
Such a person can most impress Oswald Cobblepot, because he was once the weakest sheep in the flock.
In his life, he never met any sheepdog that could stop the disaster, and the sheep that left the sheepfold to look for hope never came back. The awakened people with great ambitions in the flock never cared about him.
No one ever stood with Penguin.
Being in the vulnerable group of life caused great trauma to Penguin, but Spider-Man was a hero who resolutely protected the vulnerable group, and really did so and succeeded.
These are the special attributes of the two people that can be used in the current incident, so the next step is to analyze the unique personality attributes of Penguin.
To do personality attribute analysis, you only need to ask one question, why is Penguin Penguin?
In Penguin's childhood, when people mocked him, they said he looked like a short and fat penguin, and his ugly and sinister hooked nose was like a penguin's mouth.
But even if Penguin was a lunatic, he would not be willing to put the words that ignorant idiots came up with on his head.
Penguin likes penguins very much, just like Batman likes bats very much. There is a subtle connection between their code names, because penguins and bats are both social animals.
It is not accidental that they chose this kind of animal. Although Batman believes that bats are animals that bring fear to people, it cannot be denied that he saw the beauty and greatness of the social attributes of bats in groups.
The society of social creatures is like a signal amplifier, which exaggerates their good and evil to a dramatic beauty, and those who can appreciate this beauty are often those who are not accepted by their existing social society.
Oswald Cobblepot is such a person, and so is Bruce Wayne.
So they imagine themselves in another social society, where they occupy a far more important position than the current one, gain the care and love of another kind of companions, and enjoy the warmth of a real social society.
Batman is different from the Penguin. Batman sees the evil side of social creatures that is magnified. Bats in groups often bring greater fear to people than single bats. Therefore, when he chose to spread fear, he gave himself a code name of bat.
But humans are always more willing to analyze the social groups and family relationships of penguins, especially family relationships. In the common sense of the public, penguins have relatively stable family relationships in the animal kingdom.
And most importantly, their group relationship is not more reflected in the clear class and strict superior-subordinate relationship of other social animals, but in the beautiful attribute of mutual help, especially helping the weak in the group.
Many people have seen natural documentaries. In order to keep warm, penguins will form a circle and surround the cubs in the center. The penguin parents will take turns to incubate the eggs, and sometimes even give the eggs to others to incubate.
The little penguins will go to the nursery. The adult penguins who manage the nursery may not have a blood relationship with them. They are simply entrusted by the group to take care of the cubs.
Even if the penguin society is not all of this beautiful attribute, the information that people can accept at a certain stage of life is limited. In the common sense of most people, penguins are such animals, and Oswald Cobblepot is no exception.
The Penguin chose the penguin not because he accepted the contemptuous nicknames given to him by those who mocked him, nor because he was in pain, sadness, and extreme helplessness.
He saw the kind side of social creatures magnified by the social society of penguins. He longed for this warmth and kindness, imagining that in a certain penguin group, he was cared for by all the tribesmen and surrounded by the cub in the center of the circle.
The more you can't get, the more you want it, and the more you lack, the more you need to fill the gap with fantasy.
Batman received too much family love from his parents, so he longed for the harsher and crueler side of the social society.
The Penguin never received any love from his family, so he longed for the more tender and kind side of the social society.
And this tender side is reflected in the protection of vulnerable groups.
There is no doubt that ordinary people who are threatened by criminals are vulnerable groups in this society. Spider-Man chose to stand firmly on their side. His behavior made the Penguin see the way the perfect society in his fantasy works.
So he did not accept Spider-Man, but only accepted the hero in his childhood imagination.
But Penguin also has a twisted side. The trauma brought to him by the disadvantaged group makes him want to climb up desperately. As long as he becomes a strong person, he will not be bullied.
But the road to pursuing transcendence is endless. New status and new environment will bring new dangers. Every time he climbs up a ladder again, he will find that what he has is still not enough for the disadvantaged group in this level.
Years of climbing have stimulated this upward trend to lose a sense of security by the new environment. In order to gain a sense of security, he can only cycle upward again, which has become an instinct that is difficult to change.
So although he has a perfect social society in his mind, he will never stop to build this society, because he feels that he has no room and will never be safe.
All the behaviors of Penguin come from the need to get rid of the identity of the disadvantaged group and gain a sense of security from ascending to the next strong class. This is the main personality attribute of Penguin that is difficult to change and the underlying behavioral logic.
Peter even began to think that this thing is not a blind guess.
Peter continued to look down in fascination, and then he found that there was nothing behind him.
Peter opened his eyes wide in shock, but no matter how he prayed, the black sun stopped moving.
Peter was anxious.
At this time, he found that he could finally leave, so he hurriedly returned to the real world, pressed the headset and said to Bruce on the other end:
"Penguin has no sense of security, what can I do to give him a sense of security?"
"...Ah?"
This is really theology
