"It sounds stupid," Schiller said. "He chose the worst possible approach, but it was the inevitable choice."
The three of them stayed in the lobby of the Arkham Sanatorium office. Only a small light was on, and the lighting was a little dim. After drinking a cup of hot coffee, Schiller felt much more awake, he analyzed.
"People with anxiety disorders have a unique malice towards the world. They will intermittently think that if everything in the world is destroyed, there will be nothing worth worrying about."
"Then they will feel fear again. If the world really ends, then the things that make them anxious, that is, the things that make them care, will disappear without a trace, like their only driftwood in the ocean."
"They often fall into this cycle, sometimes thinking that the world should be destroyed, sometimes thinking that they should be destroyed, an endless struggle and self-struggle."
"Aux has obviously fallen into this vicious cycle. It cannot be denied that his act of destroying the photovoltaic integrated device was motivated by a vengeful mentality."
"But the revenge is not 'I broke it, so you bastards who made things difficult for me, go to hell', it's 'I'm such a loser, this is what you get for giving me such an important job'."
"Many people think this way when they are under pressure and feel anxious in the workplace. They will think, 'I told you I can't do this, but you insisted on giving me this job. If I mess up, it's all your fault. You will definitely be retaliated against.' This is more than just resentment, and there is also a layer of thought of destroying both sides together."
"Why is that?" Coulson asked curiously, "If I encounter someone who makes things difficult for me at work, I won't think it's my fault. I will just curse him to fall flat on his face when he goes out."
"Because the core of your personality is stable." Schiller said, "You can distinguish between good and bad, so you know that you are innocent, but some people are not like this. They are not inferior, but they don't understand why others treat them in a certain way, or they have a confused cognition about it."
“For example, if someone treats him well, he will not always feel that he is unworthy like people with low self-esteem, but will think about what qualities he has that deserve others to treat him well. However, the result of this kind of thinking is not necessarily correct.”
Coulson seemed to understand a little bit. He said: "His self-awareness comes from the attitude of others towards him. If others treat him well, he will think about the good things about himself, and if others treat him badly, he will focus too much on the bad things about himself."
"Yes, that's right. If you think in the wrong direction, it's easy to get the wrong answer and give yourself the wrong hint. For example, someone may be nice to him because he is enthusiastic and cheerful and always takes extra care of others, but he thinks it's because he is outspoken and can always accurately point out other people's problems and mistakes."
"Once he gets this wrong perception, he will have the wrong psychological suggestion, which will make him strengthen his own characteristics in this aspect, and he may go to extremes and make others distance themselves from him."
"On the other hand, if others treat him badly, it may be because he speaks bluntly and has a bad temper, but he himself thinks it is because his professional skills are not up to standard and others regard him as a relative."
"Once he has this kind of psychological suggestion, he will be particularly anxious about this aspect. When taking each step, he will think whether this step is unprofessional, whether the next step is professional enough, and what he should do to prove his professionalism."
“This may lead to forced errors.” Natasha said: “Human concentration is a magical thing. Sometimes the more you focus in a certain direction, the worse you will do.”
"This is one of the sources of anxiety, commonly known as tension," Schiller said. "When the mind is overly tense to a certain critical point and there is no way to stabilize the mind, it will prompt people to go to the other extreme, which is to practice the worst result."
"It's like, 'You said I'm unprofessional, so I'll show you how unprofessional I am. As long as you've seen my worst side, there's nothing to be afraid of.' It's essentially a mental defense mechanism."
"The reason why many patients with anxiety disorders become more and more serious is that this kind of thinking will make them fall into a vicious cycle. The more they feel that others belittle them, the more nervous they become. The more nervous they are, the easier it is for them to reach this critical point, and then they will give up on themselves and make a mess of things. Then others will belittle them even more. This is why anxiety disorders are always called mental illnesses."
Natasha nodded and said, "So how do you think we can get out of this vicious cycle? Take Oaks for example. In that situation, can he really save himself?"
"Generally speaking, self-help is not an option for people with anxiety disorders, just like a person who is already stuck in a quagmire cannot step on his left foot and get back to the sky. For most mental illnesses, self-help is not an option."
"That's why Nick came to me." Schiller made himself another cup of coffee and took a sip before saying, "Because as long as someone gives them a hand, there is still a way to solve the problem."
"For example?" Coulson took out a piece of paper and a pen to take notes. Schiller looked at him with a coffee cup in hand and said, "So Nick means that we must get Oaks out?"
"Yes, although this accident was not arranged by Nick, if Oaks accidentally facilitated this incident, then he can also be considered as one of our own. Nick does not have the habit of abandoning his own people." Coulson explained.
"Okay, that's what I meant." Schiller said, "Nick should have investigated it. One of my students and I need to take some responsibility for Oaks' current situation."
"First, we need to cure his physical illness, if he has one." Schiller began to narrate, "Of course, if Oaks is also trapped in the space station now, it might be a bit difficult to pull him out in a big way, and it would draw too much attention to him."
"Then let's find a way to comfort him. First, contact him. Does he have a private phone number or something?"
Coulson shook his head and said, "Although the communication system of the space station is already very complete, it is still impossible to equip every employee with a satellite phone. The cost is a bit high. However, they all have them in the dormitory, so everyone still has a sufficient balance for public calls."
"Okay, then let Nick's people take Oaks back to the dormitory. He must be in a bad situation right now."
Natasha nodded and said, "It's entirely conceivable. After all, the chaos in the space station right now can basically be said to be caused by him."
"But I'm also a little curious. Even if an electrician destroyed the photovoltaic integrated system, how could he cause a power outage in most of the space station? Isn't there some reserve power?"
At this point, the two agents sighed in unison, and Coulson said, "All of the power for the space station is provided by China. The photovoltaic integrated system is too efficient, and has never had any problems in tens of millions of experiments. We also want to know how Oaks was able to achieve this effect."
Schiller frowned slightly. He could understand the first half of Coulson's sentence. China is quite advanced in this regard and can be said to have core competitiveness. Others may not even understand the power system they have developed, let alone patch it. Other countries may just use this system with confidence.
But according to his understanding, China should be accustomed to leaving some redundancy to leave room for possible human operational errors, so why didn't it do so this time?
As Schiller was thinking about this, Nick called and said, "I'm in Switzerland now. Something is wrong. The Chinese spokesperson emphasized that it is impossible for an ordinary electrician to cause such serious damage to the photovoltaic integrated system and its supporting power storage system. They completely denied the possibility of this happening."
"Although everyone is reluctant to admit their advancement on the surface, they all know in their hearts that China is the authority in this regard. If they say it's impossible, then it's really impossible."
"And now that China has produced complete design drawings, technicians from various countries also believe that a single destruction would not cause such serious consequences. The safety of this thing is such that even if the space station is bombed, it can ensure smooth operation for at least 12 hours. Even if the space station falls, there will still be power one second before it touches the ground."
"Although I don't know much about this, after taking a look at the blueprint, I feel that the security system is well done, even better than my secret base. If Oaks had the ability to completely destroy them, he wouldn't be just a senior electrician. Ben Parker doesn't have this ability."
"Are you sure this wasn't arranged by you?" Schiller asked.
"I didn't plan to attack the entire space station," Nick said. "I just wanted to cut off the connection between two areas and the main station. That way, even if something goes wrong, there won't be a large-scale loss. It's not like now that more than half of the areas are in oxygen crisis, which might cost us most of our technical manpower."
Schiller also believed what Nick said. He knew that for the stingy Nick, technicians were more valuable than gold. Even if he wanted to take risks, he would not risk so many people at once. If he really wanted to do so, he would not leave only a few young superheroes to cover the back. Everyone would definitely watch.
Schiller thought for a moment and said, "The key lies with Oaks. He is the only person involved and his condition is not good. Send your people to get him out first, or at least get him back to the dormitory so that I can talk to him."
"What are you going to do?" Nick asked.
"We still have to use his wife as a breakthrough point." Schiller sighed softly and said, "It's all Charles' fault, but he is young after all, it's normal for him to make mistakes, and it's not irreparable..."
"Okay, I know you favor him, so go ahead and do it. Call me when you need to contact Oaks."
Schiller stood up and walked towards the clothes rack. Natasha put away her phone and said, "The boss told us to fully cooperate with you."
"Are you staring at me from all angles?"
Natasha laughed and smoothed her hair. "If we keep an eye on you, it won't just be the two of us. He might also be worried that he might get out of control. If something goes beyond his control, you'll have to take action."
Schiller also laughed. He put on his coat and said, "He probably didn't expect those turkeys to be so aggressive. When they heard there was a fight, they all ran to Centaurus."
"Where are we going now?" Coulson took out his cell phone, apparently preparing to arrange transportation.
"Go to Texas and find Oaks' wife, but before that, I have to contact Charles first. He has to bear the consequences of his actions."
Just then, Natasha received another call. At that moment, her face darkened. After hanging up the phone, she stared at Schiller with her eyes wide open and said.
"The bridge between the east and west halves of the space station has broken. Something has gone wrong with the power system of the west half, causing it to lose balance with the Earth's gravity and is now falling towards the Earth at a rapid speed!"
