Chapter 3042 Mercury (Twenty-eight)

Schiller turned his eyes away from the handouts and looked at the student who asked the question. He shook his head and said, "In-depth analysis means in-depth feelings, but it is almost impossible to have in-depth feelings with photos. It is better to get in touch with the scene."

If it were the students from Gotham University, they would have been fooled by him, but everyone present was a genius and immediately discovered the rejection in Schiller's words.

Finally, someone asked the key question.

"Professor, I heard that you are very good at psychoanalysis. I guess you must have a strong ability to empathize. Can you show us a real in-depth analysis?"

Schiller sighed helplessly, looked at him and said, "I have said that feeling from photos is far from in-depth analysis, but there is no crime scene here..."

Just when he said this, the door of the classroom was banged.

The student closest to the door walked over and opened it. A student rushed in anxiously and said, "Professor, Professor Diana and the others found a body in the empty classroom on the lower floor. Professor Wayne asked me to call you over!"

For some reason, Schiller felt that this scene looked familiar. He thought to himself, are you sure that the people in the underground classroom are not trolls?

In fact, Schiller was not unwilling to show the magic of psychoanalysis to the students, because he knew that many students present had certain talents in this area. Although they were not as strong as Jenna, they were also outstanding among ordinary people.

If he could successfully arouse the interest of this group of people and let them appreciate the charm of psychoanalysis, then maybe he would have a few more excellent graduate students in the future, so Schiller was very happy to show them.

But unfortunately, his current state was not very good.

In order to lure the witch into the trap, Schiller now even stopped drinking snowdrop tea, letting the curse continue to erode this body. Maintaining the human form was his last bottom line. If Cersei didn't come again, he would be ready to turn into a snake again.

There is a price to pay for maintaining the habits of snakes in human form. Let's put it this way. The reason why snakes have such habits is that they have evolved a body that lives with such habits. Conversely, it is precisely because they have such a body that they can live with such habits.

Humans did not evolve in the direction of snakes. The habit of relying on sunlight to maintain body temperature alone cannot carry such a large body. Moreover, human skin is different from that of cold-blooded animals, and the ability to perceive and absorb temperature is too different.

Schiller is now like a supercomputer with a Windows XP system installed. The power of any hardware cannot be fully utilized, and the running speed is worrying.

So is he unable to empathize in this situation?

In fact, it is just the opposite. The worse his condition is, the stronger his empathy is. This is the case in pathological conditions and in normal conditions.

The ability to empathize with others and conduct psychoanalysis belongs to the underlying logic of Schiller's spirit. It does not mean that he loses this ability because of the separation or not being in the tower. In fact, every personality trait has it.

And the empathy ability possessed by each personality trait is actually the same, and it will become stronger and stronger as the mental state deteriorates.

This is a basic law of the human spirit, just like the worse your mental state is, the more you like to fantasize, and the most important support for empathy is association.

What's more, when the mental state is bad to a certain extent, hallucinations will begin to appear, and the hallucinations seen by empaths are often composed of the information received by their empathy organs.

The picture is of course more specific and accurate than the hazy feeling, so once the mental condition deteriorates to the point of hallucination, the empathy and psychoanalysis ability will become very strong, which can be called the peak state of the empath.

Schiller previously commented that Jenna's peak state can be compared with his morbidity. In fact, if Jenna's mental condition deteriorates to the point of hallucination one day, it is basically the same as the morbid level.

But now Jenna's mental condition is a bit too healthy, which leads to her empathy ability not being able to fully play out. Let alone seeing specific pictures, she can only barely feel the emotional atmosphere. Although it is enough for her at this stage, it is still unknown what will happen in the future.

Excessive empathy can lead to a problem. If the mental state is not good, and you have to empathize with those strange murderers, it is easy to make the mental state more disordered, and even often you will be addicted to it and unable to extricate yourself, and the behavior of the empathized object tends to be consistent.

This is why natural empaths are easy to become serial killers, because they cannot control their empathy ability and are tortured to exhaustion. Their mental state is disordered. In areas with poor security, they are easily influenced by other criminals. It is a small probability event not to commit crimes.

So Schiller is not worried about the inaccuracy of his empathy now, but he thinks that if he conducts psychoanalysis now, it is very likely to further deteriorate his mental state.

He was already in a bad mood due to the curse. If it deteriorates further, he may not even sleep.

Schiller originally thought that these students would spend at least more than a year here, and then they would have to return to Earth for internship. It would not be too late to show them after the witch incident was resolved and the curse was lifted.

As a result, the crime scene was delivered to the door.

Some things just don't work if you don't believe in them. Schiller once questioned Murphy's Law, but it turns out that there is indeed a certain reason for this law to be spread so widely.

What he originally thought was that if the witch dared to come over, it would be Superman, Wonder Woman, and The Flash. These people would be enough to hold Circe down and beat her up, without him needing to take action at all.

But it turns out that this cunning witch has not completely lost her mind. She will not show up in person so easily, but can hide in the dark and cause trouble.

Although the Mercury base has quite complete security measures, it was brought from another universe after all. The scientific differences between the two universes are not big, or basically non-existent, but magic is inherently inconsistent. It's not the same thing, so there are indeed loopholes that can be exploited.

As for solving the case, Clark and Diana really couldn't help much, and Oliver and Arthur were almost useless. The only ones who could really come in handy were Bruce, Barry, and Schiller.

However, the Barry of Schiller's universe is still very young, and he has not studied physical evidence science, so he cannot help much in criminal investigation.

Originally, he could have traveled back in time to see the answer directly, but by chance, there was another person present called Golden Pioneer, that is, the young superhero from the future.

Don't look at the way this guy behaves. He hangs out with the Blue Beetle every day and chases chickens and dogs. Those are all disguises. The true identity of the Golden Pioneer is the Guardian of the Timeline, and his job is to protect the Timeline. He is stable and works for the Time Administration. He will not let The Flash cross the timeline so easily.

Moreover, DC’s timeline is a little more complicated than Marvel’s. It’s complicated because it’s full of The Flash and various enemies of The Flash running around. If it collides with it, it’s as if it’s a collision with an ordinary person. There is no difference.

Neither Schiller nor Bruce agree with Barry going deep into the timeline now. Even if he has integrated dark forces before, it is very dangerous.

So the only ones who can work now are Schiller, the wretched master and apprentice.

And if Bruce is given full power, Schiller is really worried. A total of more than a hundred people in four classes can be brought up to achieve this kind of virtue. Do you think you can trust him to do something?

Schiller sighed, knowing that he had to go.

Before he could say anything, the students below started cheering first, and then halfway through cheering, they realized something was wrong and stopped awkwardly.

"Okay." Schiller knocked on the table and said, "If such a big thing happens, everyone must be there. You should be quiet. After arriving at the crime scene, don't make any noise, and don't rush in. If you encounter any unexpected situation, don’t panic, the professors will protect you..."

Theoretically speaking, hearing that someone died in their base should cause panic, but Schiller had whetted their appetites before, so these students didn't feel panic at all, and they all suppressed it. Wanting to see how Schiller would solve the case, he ran out the door happily.

Looking at their energetic backs, Schiller thought that no matter what method the mastermind behind the scenes wanted to use to cause panic among the students, they would probably not succeed. Asking is the charm of education.

Schiller was not in a hurry to go out. He packed up the lesson plans on the table first, and then glanced at Jenna, who was also packing things. The little girl immediately understood and fell to the end of the crowd, walking forward side by side with Schiller.

"How do you feel?" Schiller asked. He actually just wanted to ask Jenna if she was tired, because when she first developed her empathy talent, it would be too energy-consuming, and she didn't feel it when she was immersed in empathy. He would feel very tired once he got out, and his original intention was to let Jenna go back to rest.

Unexpectedly, Jenna said very excitedly: "There are many ideas lingering in my mind. I want to write them down, but I have no clue. I have tried to observe Professor Wayne before, but at that time my own thoughts It's very confusing and I can't find the right path. Now I think I can try again..."

Schiller also had to admit that young people are energetic. After thinking for a while, he said: "I don't object to you doing this, miss, but I think Professor Wayne's question can be put back to the future. Let's focus on the present first. of this case.”

Sure enough, Jenna's attention was caught. She seemed to think about it seriously and said, "Professor, what race do you think the victim will belong to?"

“Do you think race matters?”

"Of course, to be precise, it is one of the key pieces of information." Jenna nodded and said, "The difficulty of killing an ordinary human being is different from that of killing me. The choice of race must be an important clue to determine the murderer."

"You can discuss this with Professor Wayne."

"So what are we discussing with you?" Jenna looked at him and asked, "How does psychoanalysis work without knowing any information?"

Schiller shook his head and said: "Psychoanalysis is not just about analyzing the murderer. When a murder occurs, all the atmosphere related to it may be important clues."
