Chapter 802: How Schiller Was Split in the First Place (Part 2)

If we use slightly funny language to explain all this, we can only say that shoddy construction is harmful to people. Laying bricks without plastering will have serious consequences.

Victor frowned hard, touched his forehead and said: "Broken...what does it mean?"

"It means literally." Schiller's fingers have been tapping the guardrail of the bed. He said: "The tower I built is not strong enough, and the person is standing too high, so the overall personality is broken into many pieces. For a long time afterwards, I have been trying to glue it back together."

"This..." Victor wanted to say that this was too absurd, but he thought that it might be because this metaphor was a bit too down-to-earth.

In the original explanation, there should be many professional terms that he didn't understand, so Schiller deliberately expressed it more directly.

Otherwise, this is too childish. Can personality be broken? What's more outrageous is that it can be glued back after being broken? ? ?

"During this period, I was not in a normal social environment, but I knew that I had to go back because I still had things to do." Schiller continued.

"I have to find a way to make me look like an ordinary person, for example, to put the fragments together, and then find something to stick them together, or add some beauty seams in the middle, pretending to be a postmodern artwork or something..." Schiller sighed and said, "The reason why I chose psychology is that the psychiatrist who treated me was really too professional." "Of course, it may also be that my method of sticking the vase was wrong at the time, and he would see through it every time, so I had too many unnecessary expectations for this major, so now, I can't even find a suitable student..." Schiller shook his head helplessly, but Victor did not find Schiller's joking explanation funny, because he heard more heavy truths behind him. "Because there is no way to glue the vase together, I have to find another way out. I think, instead of displaying a crooked vase, it is better to take out a piece of broken porcelain and say it is a fragment of ancient porcelain."

"But it is not easy to achieve this. After thinking about it, I decided to build another house. As long as the house can leave enough space for each fragment to live in, and then let them play their respective roles at different times and in different situations, it may be easier."

"So you built a tower again?" Victor asked.

"Yes, things went smoothly. My plan was correct. I stuffed the broken personality into the new house and called it up in parts, which made me seem a lot more normal."

"But soon, problems arose. If these fragments are to be used in a planned way, someone must manage them."

"Even if it is a newly built house, someone must maintain it. There must be a front desk receptionist, repairman, security guard, cleaner, transporter, lobby manager, etc. I must come up with a complete system in my mind to ensure that it will not be so easy to get confused and collapse."

"It sounds like a fantasy." Victor sighed.

"Yes, I soon found that there were not enough fragments." Schiller sighed and said, "An apartment building can't be full of property staff, there must be some owners, right?"

"So, in addition to the functional personality fragments, I broke the memory part into more fragments, and turned each personality trait generated in the memory into a separate fragment. They became the main residents of the tower, and those functional personalities became property staff."

Victor shook his head and thought it was all too crazy, but Schiller paused and continued, "I will explain this because you must first understand where these things come from before you can know what happened on the day I met Bruce."

"Normally, each personality fragment in my thinking tower represents 0.000, and these numbers add up to a complete 'one', because all the fragments are broken from a complete personality."

"If you cut a pizza into eight pieces, no matter how you divide the eight pizzas, Open or closed, they should eventually be able to piece together a complete pizza. "Schiller gave a very simple and easy-to-understand analogy: "If you take out a slice alone, it is one eighth, and eight eighths added together are 'one'. Before that day, the situation in my Mind Palace was like this."

"When I came to Gotham, I realized that I needed a more vicious employee to deal with all kinds of dangerous situations here." Schiller touched his eyes and said, "But the Mind Palace cannot create employees out of thin air. All personality traits are actually fragments after the whole personality is broken."

"If you want to have one more employee, you must find an existing fragment and break it in half. In this way, he can still maintain his job and take charge of another new job."

"Out of necessity, the property manager of the Mind Palace split a fragment working in the emotional department into two, and used one half to re-mold an employee and let him go to work."

Victor's mind told him that he understood the process Schiller was talking about, but his common sense told him that this was too crazy.

Actually, it's very simple. The volume of personality traits is constant. It's just that after infinite subdivision, you can have infinite employees.

Schiller, who had just arrived in Gotham, needed a new employee to handle the various situations here because his existing personality could not adapt to the situation here.

But the total number of all employees and property staff added together cannot exceed one, so you can only break one ten-thousandth of it into two ten-thousandths of 0.5, and then there will be one more employee out of thin air.

"Then what?" Victor asked.

"The personality fragment that was broken into two halves belongs to a very special department. Generally speaking, it can be regarded as a branch department under the emotional department. The trait represented by this personality is called 'arrogance'."

"On a very ordinary day, that morning, it was neither sunny nor warm. Anna told me that the person at the freshman registration office had asked for leave and asked me to replace him for a day, so I went and met Bruce Wayne at the registration office."

"It is precisely because this personality trait represents arrogance that he has some judgments about Bruce Wayne that are based on reality, and based on these judgments, he has made some actions that have caused Bruce Wayne to have an extra interest in an ordinary university psychology professor."

"It all happened so suddenly, All the owners and property managers in the tower didn't realize what happened, but that personality heard a series of chuckles. "

"After that, he made a series of actions, but he thought it was completely normal, and the other owners and property managers in the tower didn't realize the seriousness of the problem. "

"They should have stopped the employee who heard the laughter when he made this crazy move to enter the streets of Gotham at night, but because they had never experienced such a thing before, the emergency response department did not give any warning, causing everyone to react one step later. "

"Then what?" Victor listened very carefully. He thought it was a very interesting story, and it was very likely part of Schiller's black history.

"One night when I was out, I met Batman who was investigating a case at the time..." Schiller's fingers stroked the guardrail of the hospital bed. He paused for a while before saying:

"You should know that a professor who is quite knowledgeable in psychology, a personality trait that originally represents arrogance, met a paranoid mental patient who deceived himself..."

"We had some slightly heated discussions on certain issues in law, criminology and behavior." Schiller put the hand on the side of his neck again. Victor looked at him and said, "So, this wound was left by the bat dart?"

Schiller nodded and said, "When my nerves transmitted the pain to the brain, the thinking tower began to alarm."

"The personality trait of the logic department finally realized that something was wrong. They found that what the personality trait did was neither in line with my own style of doing things nor in line with the needs of interests and safety..."

"What happened to the personality trait that was working?" Victor asked.

"He's contaminated." Schiller glanced down at Bruce again and said, "For some very mysterious reasons, the moment Batman focused his attention on me, this personality was contaminated by some virus."

"The goal orientation of that personality trait has completely changed and no longer meets the needs of normal work. So, the me you see now has become the me you know." Schiller looked at Victor and said, "And the me now is the other half of the personality fragment that was broken apart before, representing arrogance, and it also represents arrogance."

"Are you arrogant?" Victor recalled with some doubts and said, "I don't think so?"

Schiller shook his head and said, "The personality trait is arrogance, but it doesn't mean that the character I show is arrogant, nor does it mean that I will be arrogant to anyone or anything..."

"So, what does this have to do with Bruce's current situation?" Victor asked.

"That's the problem. We were originally a fragment of one personality, but we were split into two. Although he was polluted, he was transformed from my fragment of personality after all, and he still retains the arrogant personality traits."

Schiller looked at Bruce and said, "And the object that polluted him has a special obsession with Batman. These two motivations combined will lead to some very serious consequences. For example, this personality firmly believes that Batman will make the choice he wants."

Schiller sighed and said, "Arrogance is a very special emotion, which includes traits such as generalization, paranoia, and stubbornness. When the driving force is very strong, it may produce various dangerous consequences."

Victor also looked at Bruce and said, "So, this is the consequence?"

"Yes, the polluted personality believes that Batman is always a god, a high god."

"He would occasionally fall to the mortal world, just because he wanted to see how miserable these lambs he pitied were, so as to provide material for his dream of saving the world."

"This personality trait is very stubborn and believes that after using some methods to completely exhaust Batman's physical strength and energy, making Batman extremely weak and painful, and then let him realize that if he wants to live well at the bottom, he must abandon his bottom line and go along with the crowd, proving to him that these people who seem pathetic to him are actually the criminals he hates the most will cause him physical and mental trauma and mental breakdown."

"In this way, Batman will definitely hide in his nest to lick his wounds, just like he did for several nights."

"So. Batman came to the hospital to heal?" Victor asked.

Schiller shook his head and said in a very complicated tone: "But he never expected that Batman decided to become one of these people."

Schiller paused, as if his mind was still churning, and he said: "This means that he admits that he is no different from these criminals."

Victor understood Schiller's implication, but he still asked: "...Did he really let it go?"

Schiller closed his eyes and said: "I don't know, but if a person doesn't really let go of hatred, then I'm afraid he won't laugh from the bottom of his heart, right?"
