Chapter 3483 Research on Cats and Dogs ()

After Schiller was able to use the skills of other personality traits, his ability to be arrogant was naturally improved. For example, at the dinner party, he could take advantage of Jonathan's inattention and touch the fear venom that he had always kept on his waist.

This is an agent's skill, but it is usually used to steal the guns of law enforcement officers. Law enforcement officers are definitely more vigilant than Jonathan. If they can steal a gun, a small bottle of fear venom is no problem.

After getting the new fear venom, Schiller put it in the safe in the office. On the one hand, this thing cannot be used as soon as the lid is opened, and if used improperly, it may poison oneself; on the other hand, the Batman in the other world must have seen this thing, and once used, it will definitely remind people of the Scarecrow, which is not good.

What Schiller didn't expect was that Batman came to see him not long after he stayed in the office.

Schiller sat down leisurely. Although he didn't know which universe this Batman came from, he judged that the opponent's strength was not low. Although not as good as the Batman of the main universe and the Batman of the Arkham Universe, he should be able to be in the second tier. He is not so easy to fool.

"What's up?" Schiller stood up from his chair and walked to the tea table next to him. Batman sat down on a chair in the reception area and watched Schiller bring the tea set over and put it on the table.

"Thank you, Professor," he said.

Schiller sat down across from him and smiled, then said, "You're welcome. How's the investigation going?"

"No progress." Batman said, "Maybe I have to go to the Gotham Police Department later and watch the video of the dinner."

"You've been up all night, don't you want to take a rest?"

Batman shook his head gently and said, "I went to bed early yesterday, so I'm not sleepy now. Besides, there are still many faculty members receiving treatment in the hospital. I can't sleep anyway."

"Are you coming to me for more information?"

"Yes and no." Batman took a sip of tea from the cup that Schiller placed in front of him, then said, "In my opinion, this is not a vicious case, because judging from the other party's methods, this is not a terrorist attack aimed at mass death, but more likely an act of revenge caused by personal grudges."

"In any case, this case did not cause any serious consequences, but it had a significant impact, so it needs to be resolved as soon as possible. However, if the authorities come forward to explain that it is food poisoning, it is not unreasonable. So my focus is not on this."

"Then what do you want to know?"

"What do you think of the Justice League?"

"Are you talking about the newly formed superhero organization?" Schiller also took a sip of tea and said, "I don't know much about superheroes, but if they are really doing something good for ordinary people, then I support them."

Batman nodded and continued, "If they were in trouble and you could help them, would you do it?"

"I don't think I can help them in any way," Schiller said, rubbing the handle of the teacup with his fingers. "It's not that I belittle myself, but I'm a theoretical psychologist. I don't have a psychiatrist's license, nor do I have the right to prescribe. If they want to see me, I can only push them to my friends, and I can't really help them solve their psychological problems. Otherwise, it would be illegal practice of medicine."

"You don't have a license?"

"Yes. I mainly study the theory of psychoanalysis. If you know anything about it, you might know that it does not belong to the scope of clinical psychology and is of no use for most people's mental illnesses."

"I know very little about this," Batman said, "but can I ask what this theory is generally used for?"

"As the name suggests, psychoanalysis is the analysis of the human mind. You can classify it as philosophy, which is a discipline dedicated to exploring the essence of human beings. However, psychoanalysis does have its application areas, otherwise it would not have helped me gain a decisive position in the industry."

"Can you tell me more specifically?"

"Generally speaking, psychoanalysis can be applied in the field of criminal psychology. By empathizing with the criminal's psychology, one can guess his motives for committing a crime or predict his next move."

Batman leaned forward slightly, clearly very interested, and said, "Is it really possible? Can psychoanalysis predict the actions of criminals?"

But Schiller shook his head and said, "If it is really so amazing, you must have come into contact with it in the professional field a long time ago. The fact is that the mainstream method used in the industry now is behavioral analysis, because it is logical and traceable."

"Psychoanalysis tests the user's empathy too much. Thinking from another person's perspective requires a certain amount of talent. Its stability and accuracy are far inferior to behavioral analysis. Moreover, if empathy is too deep, it can easily lead to mental problems."

"So that's how it is." Batman said, "Since you are an authority in the industry, you must be very talented in this area, right?"

Schiller smiled and said, "There is no such thing. I just study this kind of theory and don't really apply it to the field of criminal investigation. Although I have this idea, obviously, James Gordon will not agree."

"Is this what brought you to Gotham for?"

"That's not the case. Although this place was known for rampant crime a few years ago, there haven't been any famous serial killers. And most crimes of passion don't need to be investigated using psychoanalysis, and they have no research value."

Batman nodded and said, "So what brought you here in the first place? A famous professor like you should probably go to Harvard's psychology department or Metropolitan Medical School, right?"

"To be honest," Schiller said after a pause, "I did live in Metropolis before, but I got into some trouble there, so I had to take refuge in Gotham."

"I see. Do you know anything about the situation in Metropolis?"

"I'm afraid my social circle is much smaller than you think. I rarely leave school, and I don't know any friends in the economics or politics field. Apart from living there, I don't have a deeper understanding of the place."

"So I guess it's been like this since you came to Gotham?"

Schiller nodded, took a sip of tea and said, "The people who can be called my friends here are mostly my colleagues and some students who have graduated. I am not keen on making friends widely, and I am quite satisfied with the current situation."

"Then again, Professor. Bruce Wayne is a member of the Justice League and also the behind-the-scenes funder. I found out that he majored in psychology in college. You must have taught him, right?"

"Yes, he is my student. But as I said before, he doesn't really need grades and academic qualifications. I won't invest too much energy in such a student."

"However, the situation in Gotham has improved significantly, and Wayne Group has played an important role in this. Although he has not made much academic achievements, he is indeed a rare good person."

"You think so?" Batman asked.

Schiller nodded and said, "When he first entered school, I could sense that his mood and state were not very good. I also heard about the case of the Waynes, and I think this may have had a certain impact on him."

"But later, the situation has improved significantly. He seems to have come out of the shadow of the past, focusing more on real life and making the city a better place. With this in mind, I have a natural liking for the Justice League, and I believe many Gotham people feel the same way."

"Do you know what caused this change in him?"

Schiller put down his teacup and said, "Time is the best medicine to heal trauma. People always grow as their life stages change. Although such a big change has taken place in just a few years, there are also some external factors that have influenced it, but more of it comes from his strong inner self."

Batman was silent for a moment.

"It seems that you think highly of Bruce Wayne. But considering that he has accomplished such a great feat, perhaps it is justified."

Batman put down his teacup, stood up and said, "Perhaps you are right. It was not some external force that shaped Bruce Wayne, but he saved himself. Some people or groups may have had an impact at certain times, but the most fundamental thing was his determination to get out of trouble and his perseverance to work hard for it."

"Thank you for your patience and talking to me for so long. It's not your obligation, Professor. In any case, it is very helpful. I have other things to do today, and I look forward to chatting with you in the future."

Then he was gone... gone!Schiller looked at Batman's back, and his mood could not be described as calm, but rather as shock. Why did he just leave? !

I spent so much time laying the groundwork here, trying to get the topic to the external forces that influenced Bruce's change, and you ended up accepting the conclusion that Bruce's change was all due to his own actions, and then just walked away?!What about your suspicion? Your desire for control? Your determination to never give up until you achieve your goal? Your obsession with getting to the bottom of things and your obsession with efficiency?

Are you here just for casual chat today?

Schiller stood there for a long time in silence.

For him, today's conversation was no small talk. He had already planned it out.

First, he had to reveal his identity, that is, a theoretical psychologist who was proficient in psychoanalysis. He definitely couldn't lie about this part because it was public information and could be found anywhere.

Although the term "empathetic criminal" easily reminds people of super criminals, at the same time, his position in the industry shows that he is indeed a leader among them and his judgment of people's emotional states is very accurate.

After elevating his own status, he pretended to casually mention the changes in Gotham and Bruce who brought about all these changes.

Given the fact that Batman in other universes hasn't figured it out, Batman will naturally wonder what made Bruce suddenly break free from the shadow of the past and produce such a big change.

At this time, if someone mentions "external factors", Batman will of course suspect that someone may have played an important role in this, and someone contributed to Bruce's change. The first suspect is, of course, "the professor".

Combined with the previous foreshadowing of Jonathan's identity and Jonathan's mysterious and unpredictable whereabouts, Batman naturally suspects that Jonathan may be the mysterious professor.

Given Batman's character, he will definitely investigate Jonathan in depth next.

Being entangled by Batman means that no matter the future fighting world or the eyes staring at Gotham now, they will all be based on Batman's goals. Jonathan became the perfect scapegoat, and Schiller's plan to divert the trouble was completed.

But what Schiller never expected was that the "prejudice" in Pride and Prejudice 2.0 was not prejudice at all this time.

He really felt that the local Batman relied on his own strength to get rid of the shadow and saved Gotham. His words were full of admiration and appreciation, as well as a little reflection that "I didn't do well enough."

Schiller can't help but ask, Batman, are you awake? Or, even if you are so awake, are you still Batman?Now that you are so awake, why are you playing Batman?
