Chapter 3186: The Detective is about to die (Thirty-seven)
In fact, after Bruce completed his graduate studies, he basically gave up his research on psychoanalysis, admitting that he was not cut out for it and that it would be better to study Schiller directly than psychoanalysis.
But this did not stop him from having a glimmer of hope in his heart, or rather, after his condition improved greatly, he had a fantasy that most people would have, that is, if I had this talent, could I also become a master?
Ordinary people must have thought that if I had the same musical talent as Mozart, maybe I could become a contemporary master composer. If I were an all-round genius like Leonardo da Vinci, my name would also be in the history of art.
It cannot be denied that talent is indeed important, not only in the field of art, but also in mathematics and physics. Especially in such fields, the research results obtained after painstaking research may not be as good as the formulas written by others.
But there are only a few gifted geniuses in this world after all, so when ordinary people without talent encounter difficulties, they will inevitably fantasize about the possibility that they may be extremely talented.
Theoretically, this kind of fantasy will not appear in Batman, not only because Batman is a typical genius, but also because he does not have any utopian qualities. He will not assume a situation that will never happen and then fantasize about using it to solve his own predicament, otherwise he would have died hundreds of times.
But Bruce is different. As his mental condition improves, his abnormal empathy based on his pathology is gradually weakening, which makes him lose his talent for psychoanalysis.
At the same time, he began to become more and more like a normal person. He would escape when faced with difficulties and occasionally like to expand his thinking to relieve mental stress.
He couldn't help wondering, what if I was also a natural empath? What if I had a gift for psychoanalysis?
Arrogance had never struck him in this way.
Because arrogance can also be fantasizing.
Come on, this is Batman, the most comprehensive intellectual hero in the history of human comics.
If he were just a comic character, his ceiling would be determined by the editor's ceiling, but Schiller has come into the world and is facing a real person, an unparalleled genius.
If Batman had such a talent, it would definitely be stronger than anyone else's talent. Wouldn't the psychoanalytic school be able to take a big step forward?
As we all know, psychoanalysis is currently basically not recognized by the industry. If you talk about Freud with a psychology practitioner, they will just smile helplessly.
The reason is that the subject does not have a core that can be recognized by the public, nor does it have a logic that can be understood. It basically relies entirely on feelings. However, a person has a feeling and there is really no way to unify it. This is not a subject that can be studied, and naturally it has no status in the field of modern science that emphasizes reproduction.
If Batman could really study this subject, he might be able to overturn most people's impression of psychoanalysis, or even completely rebuild this subject so that it has the same status as other schools of thought. Pride is certainly looking forward to it.
But unfortunately, not to mention Bruce, even the main universe Batman, whose condition is still serious, has no talent in this area.
Bruce recovered from his illness, but the main universe Batman's illness was not directed in the right direction. He was too particular about logic and evidence. Since he himself was unwilling to believe in those abstract feelings, we naturally could not expect him to do research.
Arrogant sometimes fantasizes that it would be great if Batman had such a talent.
After discovering that the Transcendents could actually replicate the manifestation of his own talent, Arrogance decided to give it one last try.
It turns out that having talent or not does not seem to be the key. It is also possible that Schiller's talent is just Schiller's. This is an extreme case caused by multiple factors. It is unique and cannot be replicated.
Even if Bruce was given these things, he would be completely unable to understand them. There was no corresponding decoding structure in his brain. Even if he memorized the rules, he could not empathize with them. Naturally, he could not be said to have such talent.
Now, Pride is finally ready to give up completely.
Maybe this is a good thing, as the two of them finally don't have to torture each other over this issue.
But Pride gradually discovered that as Bruce's mental state improved, he also became worse.
Of course, Bruce, who possesses both the status of an angel and the identity of an apostle of Barbatos, is actually much stronger than most Batmans, but he no longer has the meticulous thinking of most Batmans.
To put it nicely, it means to plan ahead and make more preparations. To put it bluntly, it is actually a brain disease and obsessive-compulsive disorder that is incurable.
It is impossible for any normal person to make thousands of plans for something that has not happened yet. This is obviously a kind of obsessive thinking, which is pathological and should not be imitated or promoted.
The more typical the Batman, the more severe the compulsive behavior, which means that their condition is more serious.
On the other hand, Bruce, who doesn't even try to be Batman, rarely has such thoughts. Most of the time he thinks like a normal person, and occasionally he will have a flash of inspiration and do something unexpected.
These actions can be good or bad. Sometimes they make things go more smoothly, and sometimes they mess things up, but this is the normal mental state of human beings. No one's thinking and execution abilities are perfect.
Later on, Bruce became a little too whimsical, but it was precisely his thinking that jumped out of the original framework that allowed him to blend in well with both heaven and darkness, and accumulated a lot of capital for him.
But Arrogance sometimes worries that this lack of rigorous thinking will put him at a disadvantage when facing other Batmen.
As the saying goes, knowing yourself and your enemy, you will win every battle. Bruce is no longer Batman, so it is naturally difficult for him to think in the same way as Batman, and it is difficult for him to predict what the real Batman will do next.
Although Batman could not have predicted him, the battle of wits still depends on the basics. Unconventional thinking may be useful once or twice, but if it is used too often, it will not only fail to bring advantages, but may also lead to fatal mistakes.
Therefore, if Bruce could use his talent for psychoanalysis, even if he couldn't gain any advantage, at least he wouldn't suffer a loss in front of the main universe Batman, just like Pride.
Unfortunately, Bruce obviously cannot use this talent, and his level of psychoanalysis has not improved at all.
Arrogant thinks that even though Bruce is enjoying himself in front of the Batman of the main universe now, sooner or later, Bruce will suffer a great loss at the hands of such a typical Batman.
Through the flames of the fireplace, Pride could hear that Greed's discussion was almost coming to an end.
"Okay, I'll go back to the lighthouse to check on Batman, but don't hold your hopes too high." Schiller shook his head and said, "If you fail to control him immediately, his subsequent actions will be unpredictable. Threatening him with hostages won't give you any more advantages."
"How can we know if we don't try?" Greedy said as he sat on the chair. "I just want to know what he will do if he knows what is going on in this laboratory. Can he call for more reinforcements, or does he have any other tricks up his sleeve?"
Schiller sighed, stood up and said, "Give me a gun and plenty of bullets, and preferably a night vision goggles."
"Why don't you just give you the championship?"
"I need to be able to protect myself from Batman." Schiller emphasized: "We haven't explored the upper floors of the lighthouse yet. How do you know Batman hasn't prepared supplies there? If he also gets a gun, I won't have any chance of winning."
Greedy hesitated for a moment, but turned around and took out a pistol from the back drawer. He slid it across the table in front of Schiller and said, "There are only ten bullets. This is my bottom line."
"Aren't you a rich second-generation? Why are you so stingy?"
"Provocation doesn't work on me." Greedy curled his lips and said, "I can also provide you with night vision equipment, but the battery is limited. I'm sure Batman can't find a way to charge it in this situation, so you'd better not use it for other purposes."
Schiller did not bargain with him anymore, but said: "Although Batman has made up his mind to fight against you, I think you should also be wary of the Joker, otherwise he will definitely give you a big surprise."
After saying that, he picked up the pistol and the head-mounted night vision goggles that Greedy had just handed to him, turned around and walked towards the laboratory door.
This time he encountered no obstruction and the door opened a crack to let him leave. Along the way, Schiller was thinking about the information both sides had learned and the next steps.
There is absolutely no way that Batman could know that Greed captured the Prowler. At most, he had some suspicions because he didn't know enough about Greed and didn't know what Greed was like. So he probably wouldn't have thought that he would directly capture the Prowler with the help of the introduction in the opening credits.
But he should have expected that Greed took advantage of the opportunity to set up a background story for himself and got himself resources far beyond those of others, including wealth and laboratories, and perhaps even a large number of weapons.
Greedy probably knows that Batman probably knows something about the Siltec Corporation, but because he doesn't know Batman, he doesn't know to what extent Batman knows.
In this way, Schiller, who knows both of them, can provide them with more information.
Schiller just saw the body of the creature claimed to be the Wanderer soaked in the jar. The liquid in the jar was definitely not just water, but should be some special ingredients that could restrict the Wanderer and, through some means, give the fish that ate the body special properties.
Schiller went over all the clues in his mind.
He felt that the people in the cabin should have all been to this underground cave before, and they might even have come together, but they met Greed here and planned to do something after the game started.
From the traces of reeds on the corpses in the kitchen, it can be seen that they should have also encountered the reed monster, but the reeds were not provoked at that time, and the three ordinary people also escaped by chance.
The traces of wear and tear on the stones above Doggett's head indicate that they may have had a chase in the narrow cave. The radiation range of the reeds is not that large, so they may have encountered greed after encountering the reeds, and were chased by greed and had no way out.
Doggett was killed by Greedy with a wind blade and dragged into the house through the door under the carpet in the cabin. It happened to be snowing heavily outside, which covered up the fact that there were no signs of dragging outside the house.
The body in the kitchen could also have been killed by Greed. He admitted that he killed Doggett, but he did not deny that he killed others.
The only thing that made Schiller feel confused was what happened to Madeline. Greed had killed two people, so there was no reason not to kill her. Wouldn't it be a huge hidden danger to keep her alive?
