"Schiller was a mentally ill patient, but he almost cured himself in a special way," Bruce said. "He divided himself into normal and pathological parts, and most of the normal parts looked no different from ordinary people."
Bei Bat thought about it. He had not come into contact with many normal Schillers, but he could indeed feel that sometimes Schiller seemed more energetic, exuding a kind of vitality rather than a sense of oppression that brought fear. This seemed to be the dividing line between his normal state and his pathological state.
"But his condition remains and is difficult to cure because of the nature of the disease."
"Schizophrenia?"
“Autism.”
Bruce went on to explain: "The high-functioning performance brought about by autism gives him an unparalleled talent. He seems to be able to judge and analyze people's psychology with a special vision."
Beibat frowned and said, "It doesn't sound like a regular treatment process."
"Originally it wasn't, it was just a madman's hallucination, but his special talent made his hallucinations reflect his mental state with an accuracy rate of up to 80%."
"Incredible." Beibat commented.
"I think so too." Bruce nodded and continued, "After Schiller regained his normal state, he usually did not become ill, and would not stay for long if he did. He would just come out occasionally to get some fresh air. This is completely within control."
"But there is only one exception, and that is when Schiller is in a very bad condition. To be precise, if he feels severe pain, then the one controlling his body must be a disease."
"why?"
"There is no reason. It's just like most people's minds are very confused when they are in pain. Physical pain will make people lose their minds. No matter how strong the human will is, it has its limits."
"So Schiller lost control because of pain?"
"I told you, he's seasick."
Bei Bat's facial features were all wrinkled together. He really couldn't understand it. Seasickness was indeed very uncomfortable, but this should also be within the range that can be controlled by willpower.
Then he heard Bruce say: "Schiller's seasickness is not what we think it is, because the hull is shaking, causing problems with the body's balance and coordination organs, which will cause dizziness and nausea."
"There is a symbiont in Schiller's body. You can think of it as a parasitic organism that can completely change its physiological properties. It can turn Schiller into a ball of fog. He doesn't even have a balance organ. How can he get seasick?"
"Then what happened to Schiller's seasickness?"
"He was also investigating this issue before, and he found that he was not seasick but seasick. As long as he was close to the ocean, he would experience various uncomfortable symptoms."
"Furthermore, this symptom of discomfort obviously does not occur on his body, but rather directly affects the soul. Otherwise, it is impossible to explain why the symbiote is not immune to this pain."
"In short, pain will make Schiller's mental state worse, and then it will be like a mental illness, the morbidity will take control of the body, and the reason why the morbidity is called morbidity is because they all have a disease."
Bei Bat suddenly remembered something and said, "Pain will make Schiller gradually lose his mind and become ill. Then wasn't the inhalation aerosol filled with Valium? Where is his medicine?"
"If a mentally ill patient would take medicine obediently, why would every mental hospital have to employ nurses?"
Batman was speechless. What Bruce said made sense. Schiller did bring medicine, but he was a madman. If a madman would take medicine on his own initiative, he would not be a madman.
"Then why is he getting stronger?"
"The more painful it is, the more unstable the mental state becomes, and the greater the control the pathological personality has over the body. It can even remove muscle restrictions through mental excitement, and possess extremely strong explosive power and great strength."
Batbe recalled that the first time Schiller's strength increased was after he was shot. After Schiller was shot, his speed increased significantly. This is completely in line with what Bruce said, the stronger the pain, the more morbid it is, and various attributes will also be improved.
Although the enhanced speed and strength are indeed not what a human can possess, he does not show any additional abilities such as magic or superpowers. He is just a human with incredible speed and great strength.
Beibat thought he had dealt with many strong men and top killers with maximum agility and strength, but no one was as difficult to deal with as Schiller. He felt that something was missing.
"Is that all?" Beibat questioned.
"Of course not." Bruce denied and said, "Remember what I said about Schiller having a special vision when he was hallucinating? I guess that might be the key."
Beibat recalled the illusion he had seen before, which showed the first-person perspective of Zhuihuei when hunting, but only the first half of the process. Zhuihuei chased the woman to the bathroom, and then the scene jumped to the ending, and the woman turned into a lively red fish.
What happened in the middle was not shown at all. I originally speculated that it might be a simple sneak attack and subjugation, but if it was really that simple, why didn't they broadcast it all in one go? It can't be that Schiller prefers a fast-paced editing?
The hidden part may be the key. Batman and Bruce agreed on this. They both wanted to know what hunting was like from Schiller's perspective.
Bruce's eyes rolled around and he said, "What do you think I can see now from the dream world to Schiller's spiritual world?"
"You want to get into the mind of a madman. Are you crazy too?"
"I'm mainly studious," Bruce explained. "As long as I tell the professor that I just want to experience the charm of psychoanalysis firsthand, he might let me go over and take a look."
Bat covered his forehead and said, "Sometimes I really doubt whether you are Bruce Wayne. Are we really the same person? Such a risky and crazy idea would never appear in my mind."
boom!Boom!
The sound of a gunshot came from overhead. Several people in the room immediately put down what they were holding and looked up. The experienced Christopher said, "The gun is empty. Judging from the sound, it must have hit something."
Beibat and Bruce looked at each other and said in unison: "Schiller."
"Siller was shot?" Beibat frowned, then he immediately remembered what Bruce said before, and said: "If the worse Schiller's condition is, the stronger he will be, then no matter which part of his body is hit by three bullets, it can be considered a serious injury. To what extent will he be strengthened?"
"Seeing is believing." Bruce took out a small spray bottle from his pocket and dragged Bat out of the room to another enclosed staff dormitory.
"What is this?" asked Beibat.
"The next auxiliary props are used." Bruce pointed to the lower bunk and said, "Lie here, I'll go to the upper bunk, and we'll see what the world looks like in Schiller's eyes."
Bei Bat had no intention of lying down. He planned to sit down and see what Bruce was doing, but Bruce nimbly climbed to the upper bunk and sprayed the air with a spray bottle. Bei Bat instantly smelled the rich aroma of alcohol.
When he woke up again, he found himself standing on a grassland. Bruce waved to him from a distance and said, "This is the dream world. The dream god who originally controlled this place has temporarily left. Now the professor has some authority, so as long as we come here, he should be able to find us."
Sure enough, after waiting for a while, the two saw Schiller walking towards them with an umbrella.
Schiller didn't seem surprised by the two's arrival. He pointed to the other side and said, "Come with me. Don't expect to go up there. Now all the sick people have come to the tower. The whole tower has become a carnival party for them. It's too noisy."
"Are you okay?" asked Bat. He had always found it difficult to understand some of Schiller's descriptions of himself. After all, cutting himself into so many pieces was a bit too abstract, and it was difficult for normal people to understand the relationship between various personality traits.
“Not for the time being.” Schiller’s answer was both radical and conservative. He then added: “But a lot of people are going to die.”
Beibat swallowed his saliva. This didn't sound like a metaphor. If the person who knew him best was himself, it was hard to imagine what would happen next.
As expected, they did not come to the tower, but only saw a screen in an open space in the dream world.
At this time, one quarter of the edge of the screen was blood red, and the other quarter inward was blurry water patterns, while the center half of the screen was surprisingly clear, much larger than the clear area of the hunting process in the illusion that Beibat had seen before.
But the scene was difficult for both Bat and Bruce to understand. The clear part did not present a single-layer vision, but it was like stacking several pieces of paper together, and then one could see through the first piece of paper what was drawn on the paper behind it.
The color blocks and lines on all the papers are very clear. When they are stacked together, they look confusing at first glance, but the layers are clearly divided. As long as you concentrate, you can accurately determine which layer a certain color block and line is on.
But the most incomprehensible thing is the blocks of color and lines. They are so different from the real world. Bei Bat looked for a long time before he found that the front layer had countless concentric circles of blue blocks that were constantly enlarging and shrinking. It was suspected to be a wall in the corridor on the second floor.
This judgment is made because the missing circle in this color block is exactly the same as the observation window on the door of the room on the second floor.
The rectangle in the second layer seems to be a cabinet, but the cabinet should be placed in the lower right corner of the wall. However, this cabinet is an endless purple square bumping around in the rectangular area, and it contains a small coating with a lot of messy lines in it, which looks like clothes.
All the color blocks mentioned above have countless patterns, which are enlarged, reduced, and rippled within the limited range, making people dizzy.
But actually, this is not so bad. The most terrifying thing is that behind the layer of the wardrobe there is a bunch of completely irregular things that look like they were randomly painted with watercolor pens and are constantly pupating. The patterns contained in them are more than ten times more complicated than those on the walls and the wardrobe.
When Schiller's vision moved, all these things moved with it, and when this color was moved to the center of the vision, it began to become brighter and brighter, and the light gradually passed through all the layers in front of it.
Until the light passed through the layer of the front wall and reached the peak of brightness, all the patterns and colors in this ball of color were released and suddenly rushed into the field of vision.
Bei Bat felt dizzy due to the sudden change of large-scale patterns and colors. When he came to his senses and concentrated on looking, the light went out.
Beibat looked bewildered.
Schiller's voice came from his ear.
"She's dead."
Bei Bat fell into an icy cave.
Sorry I overslept
