Chapter 2364: Battle Between Bats (V)
Chapter 2395 Bats Fight (V)
The three of them fell silent.
This is not a happy truth. A group of children encountered danger in a summer camp. Here, they can be said to be helpless. Not to mention three children, even 30 of them cannot pose any threat to the strong instructor.
The children's fear comes too easily. If the other party is a habitual offender and understands this, he has ten thousand ways to make the children afraid to tell what happened here. Most of the child molesters who were not caught in the first time escaped legal sanctions through such means.
It may sound ridiculous, but they only need to make up a childish lie like if you tell what happened today, a demon will crawl under your bed and eat you. The children who are in a state of stress will believe it and dare not say anything.
This is not because they are stupid, but because children's brains are not fully developed. According to surveys, 90% of children have the experience of not being able to distinguish between fantasy and reality during their growth. This is a necessary process for brain growth.
Once stimulated, fantasy and reality will be more easily confused. Some habitual criminals will use this to distort children's common sense, making them think that maybe this is not a big deal, or use some non-existent illusions to scare them, and through repeated emphasis, make them believe it, so as to achieve the purpose of threatening them and making them dare not speak.
"Fortunately David is here." Charles said: "If it is an ordinary person, then no matter how much he fantasizes, he will probably not escape the poison."
Batwoman turned her head to look at the poisonous plant trapped in the bubble. Looking at him up close, his appearance is even more funny. He doesn't even have legs at all. His lower body is a coiled plant. His arms are very long and big, and his clown hat is worn crookedly.
He doesn't have very concrete eyes and nose, but he has a big mouth that is opening and closing at this time, as if he wants to say something.
"Let me go!!" he shouted.
"Do you know something?" Batman asked: "I think you should be able to see that we are here to help David."
"No, I don't know."
Batwoman narrowed her eyes.
The poisonous plant was obviously hiding something on purpose, but perhaps because he appeared in David's childhood, his behavior was also a little childish, and he would unconsciously turn his eyes away when he lied, which of course could not be hidden from the two great detectives.
"You have to tell us." Batman said: "David's situation is very dangerous now. If we don't stop him, he will definitely do something that he will regret."
Batman did not choose to say anything about harming the world, but started from David himself. This sentence seemed to deeply touch the poisonous plant. He said in a staccato voice: "I'm not the first one."
Batwoman and Batman looked at each other. Very good, they now have a more important information. David awakened his mutant ability before he was 7 years old.
"No one can understand him." The poisonous plant said, "No one has ever understood him."
"Did someone misunderstand him?" Charles said, "Or did someone exclude him? Did someone discriminate against him? Because he is a mutant?"
"We often say that if you have a position, don't be a detective." Batman said, "Any person who appears in the testimony should not be pre-set, especially using your position to compare enemies and friends. This is biased and can only show your poor judgment. Nothing else."
Charles' eyes widened. He had never heard such a derogatory evaluation from anyone.
"Have you been discriminated against?" Batwoman pointed out sharply, "If you are, then you are doing the same thing as those who discriminate against you by pre-setting others' positions. To put it another way, you are allowing yourself to become as stupid as them."
Charles was very angry, but he couldn't find a reason to refute for a while. He felt too tired. If he was in a good state, he would have the energy to tell the two Batmen what the mutants had experienced.
"I think this may have two meanings." Batman analyzed: "No one has ever really known David. Maybe from the beginning, the probability of David's original personality appearing was not high. People mistook other personalities for him, which made him feel that he did not exist."
"Or David has always been there, but he has always been misunderstood because of his abilities, which makes him feel that he is not understood, marginalized by society, and lonely."
"Does he want others to understand him?" Batwoman murmured to herself: "Will this be the answer?"
"We have too few clues. Usually, people who want others to pay attention to and understand them will have some shocking actions. Perhaps we can also figure out what kind of person David is by inferring the origins of other personalities like this."
"What kind of person do you think David is, ma'am?" Schiller asked.
"He is a very silent child, a little detached. We suspect he may have Asperger's syndrome, but because he was too old when he came here, we did not conduct pathological tests on him to prevent him from being stimulated." Mora replied.
"In general, he is not naughty. Except when his superpowers are out of control, he is very quiet. He will show some panic when people pay too much attention to him, and he has certain social barriers."
"So it seems that he is not a histrionic personality."
Mora shook his head and said, "No, he has no special fetish for people's eyes. He is neither very afraid to avoid nor does he try every means to seek attention. In this respect, he behaves relatively normally."
"What about the ability to establish long-term relationships? How is your relationship with him, Doctor?" Schiller asked.
Mora sighed softly and said, "I'm sorry, I'm a geneticist. I only got a degree in sociology and psychology as a graduate student. I don't have a license and I'm not a professional."
"I provided him with a certain amount of companionship and perhaps educated him, but I didn't establish any long-term relationship with him. I was more like the one he was most familiar with among a bunch of strangers."
Schiller shook his head softly and said, "Psychological intervention came too late. What about his parents? What do you think of his relationship with his parents?"
"I rarely hear David mention them." Mora said, "But once, when I was doing an experiment, I received an alarm and came to the reception hall of the research center to find out that a family member of a child we received had just come here to make trouble."
"The other party's reaction was very intense. He thought his child had fully recovered and should leave. As a result, his child showed mutant abilities in front of him, so he frantically accused us, saying that we did not fulfill our promise and did not turn his child into a normal person."
"The security guard told me that David just Also nearby, he acted normal at first, but after the lady started to go crazy, he acted a little strange.
"What's strange?"
Mora shook her head and said, "We can't check the surveillance at will, but when I went to find David later, he looked a little scared and kept muttering something... I don't know, it's not what he should say at all."
"What is that?"
"World War II, the Holocaust, something that happened in Germany." Mora pursed her lips and said, "I guess his mother might have told him."
"What happened to his mother?"
"David's mother is a German Jew. David's grandfather died in the Holocaust during World War II. He was still young at that time, but he witnessed the whole process. I guess he may have some psychological trauma."
"And she told David all this?"
"Maybe she didn't reveal it on purpose. I don't think a mother who loves her children would describe these things to her children, but after such a serious stimulation, I'm afraid some things are out of her control."
Schiller shook his pen and fell into thought.
The background story of the group did mention that when Professor X met the mother of the group, it was Professor X who helped the mother of the group to get rid of the shadow of the past, and the two fell in love.
Schiller guessed that it might be a mistake made by Professor X when he was young. The mistake did not refer to falling in love with the mother of the group, but to helping the mother of the group get rid of the shadow.
It can be seen from this young Charles that Professor X's method of solving such problems when he was young was very rough. Anyway, he deleted the memory, compiled new memory, and repaired the wall where there was a leak.
This may be no problem for a while, but as the saying goes, human memory is not a building block. Anyone who treats a tightly constructed mind as a joke will pay a heavy price. Schiller has experienced this deeply.
If Charles can stay with David's mother and keep patching, he may really be able to dispel the haze of the past after decades, but the problem is that the two of them only talked for a few months and then parted ways. It would be strange if there were no problems.
What's worse is that if Charles hadn't intervened at the time, the lady might have chosen to see a doctor when the problem got worse and worse, but Charles deleted her memory. She felt pain but couldn't find the reason, so she couldn't see a doctor, and the doctor couldn't solve the problem, which might cause the problem to get worse and worse.
This may be one of the roots of David's problem. Schiller speculated that what is more terrible than bad character and bad temper is mentally unstable parents, which will stimulate the child's self-protection mechanism too early and too much. Once the self-protection mechanism is over-stimulated, it may lead to mental or personality splitting for self-protection.
In the sky above Paris in the spiritual world, Gwen Spider-Man is running for her life.
She stretched out her hand and shot out a spider silk. The fiber shone in the sun, broke through the ripples of the air, and stuck steadily to the glass curtain wall of the building.
But the next second, the pool of white firmly attached to the glass curtain wall began to shrink and gradually turned into a point. The fiber also began to shrink, as if it was swallowed by something, and the spider silk returned to the original point.
Gwen Spider-Man's expression also gradually retreated from shock to panic before.
When she reappeared, she found that her feet were still on the ground, and the taciturn black-haired man appeared in front of her again.
"What's going on?!" Gwen Spider-Man raised her voice and looked at the person opposite with some horror and said: "What is going on? How could he..."
"He can control time." A deep voice came from behind Gwen Spider-Man.
Gwen Spider-Man turned her head and saw a red figure with pointed ears.
