The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman

Chapter 2984: The green trees are thick and the summer is long (XVIII)

What makes this gang more difficult to deal with than serial killers is that serial killers are criminals. Even if the rules cannot restrain them, they can still be punished by law. They can stand firm morally. The only difference is the force.

This is why the Gotham Police Department can almost walk sideways in Gotham after upgrading its equipment. No matter how powerful the gangs are, they are still a group of criminals. I don’t need to find any other reasons to attack you. It’s my natural duty. Justice is the best excuse.

But when it comes to the struggle for interests, it is very complicated. There is no justice in it. The two companies fight each other for interests. The police can naturally arrest whoever breaks the law, but what if neither party breaks the law? But what if both parties do not break the law and endanger other people?

In this case, who should the police stop? Stopping one party is equivalent to favoring the other party. Once justice is lost, the good days of the police will end.

The same is true for Schiller. His bottom line is actually not to disturb his life. If you have to add one more thing, it is not to harm Gotham University, and it is best not to harm Gotham.

His original intention to investigate this matter was to learn from Edward that someone was killing students. He was worried that this might affect the source of students at Gotham University. Although local students lack discipline, they are indeed gifted. What if the murderer killed a future genius in psychology?

But after investigating this step, Schiller and Pamela both found that the murderer was unlikely to be a serial killer driven by interest. Of course, interest may be involved, but it is not the fundamental purpose. Someone wants to gain something through this series of cases.

Once the motive is no longer pure, there are more things involved. If there are huge interests behind it, they will definitely eliminate the variables in the plan at all costs.

The means they take will not just send killers, but more likely to destroy property, interfere with work, smear public opinion, monitor harassment, or even more despicable means. In order to protect their vested interests, they are unscrupulous.

Since Schiller's bottom line is not to let others disturb his life, he should stop at this step. Otherwise, even if these endless means cannot really kill him, they can at least make him very annoyed. Pamela is reminding him of this.

Pamela is a genuine superpower, but she still grits her teeth when she mentions the environmentalists who pester her, which shows that she has suffered a lot at their hands.

In the final analysis, two fists cannot beat four hands. One person cannot fight against interest groups. This has been the case since ancient times. Even the strongest carbon-based organisms in history have compromised.

Back in the office, Constantine was nowhere to be found. Brand was obviously still staying up late to correct papers. From his expression, it can be seen that the interns under his command are acting as lawless lunatics again.

Seeing Schiller sitting on the sofa cutting a cigar, Brand frowned and said, "If you want to smoke, go out and smoke."

Schiller didn't say anything. He cleaned up the things on the table and wanted to leave. Brand stopped him, put down the things in his hands and sat down and said, "What's wrong with you?"

Then he muttered to himself, "Are you a psychiatrist or am I a psychiatrist? Why do I always coax you?"

"You call this behavior 'coaxing'? Is this why you didn't choose psychology and became a pathologist?" Schiller choked back mercilessly.

But there is obviously no better psychologist than Naya in the world. He doesn't even need to ask the patient to figure out the cause and effect of the matter.

Brand paused for a moment and then said, "You are a person who doesn't like to cause trouble, unless trouble comes to you. This time, in order to vent your emotions, you took the initiative to cause some trouble, but you didn't expect that this trouble was more troublesome than you thought."

Schiller cut the cigar in his hand silently, and after a while he said, "These things have nothing to do with me. Even if I stay out of it now, no one can say anything."

"Your entanglement is that you know you don't have the good and evil views of ordinary people. Your interference in everything is just out of interest. The two of us are the same."

"But the difference between you and me is that you want to be an ordinary person, and the ordinary people you love most follow very simple values."

"But I'm not a hero."

"Yes, that's why you sit here and entangle yourself, instead of fighting crime non-stop. You don't want to be disturbed, but you want to be An ordinary person with normal ideas. "

"What do you think?"

"I think you can try it. After all, your tolerance for error is much higher than that of ordinary people."

"Gray Mist is not with me now."

"That's not what I mean." Brand took a sip of water and said, "You never realized that some people are around you not because of how much you pay them, but because you are charming. They are willing to pay a price to protect and help you."

"Is this right?"

"There is no right or wrong, because the society of ordinary people also works like this. Following charismatic leaders to complete their own careers and realize their self-worth, in this process, they are both praised and praised by others, and are both loved by others and love others. Do you think ordinary people are not charming? "

"Of course not, even if compared among their peers, some are also exceptionally outstanding and worth following. "

"In that case, you can just go ahead and do it, because if things don't go smoothly, you won't be the only one bearing the cost."

"I don't want other people to bear the cost for me."

"But they are very happy, even honored, and look forward to the fact that after they help you, one day you will do the same for them."

"Even if they don't help me, I will..."

"That will make them feel guilty and fearful, because they always think that you are a person, not a natural phenomenon. The difference between the two is that people's time and energy are limited, and helping others always involves a certain amount of effort. God will delay himself, but God will not. God is omniscient and omnipotent, and no matter how much he helps people, he will not endanger himself.”

"So, if one day they accept it with peace of mind, get used to it, and no longer even want to change, it proves that they regard you as a god. If they are always worried and want to give back because of worry, it is precisely because They treat you like a normal person."

"I take back what I said before, are you really not considering turning to psychology halfway?"

"And then, like you, you were pissed off by the students?"

"Aren't you half mad at the students now?"

"My students are good at cooking, but they don't speak harshly, and they are not so persistent." Brand snorted and said.

"But they still have to postpone it," Schiller said.

Brand's face turned even more ugly. Apparently some passages from the thesis that had not been contaminated by knowledge appeared in his mind. It was always only the gods who polluted mankind with knowledge, but this time it was good. Humanity began to pollute it with nonsense papers. You are an alien god, is there any natural reason for this?

However, Schiller's mood obviously improved a lot. He put the cigar he had just cut back into the box. He obviously didn't intend to smoke it anymore. After thinking about it, he said, "I think I can give Edward a hypnotherapy session." , I admit that I want to learn more through this treatment, but I guarantee that this treatment will have a positive impact on him.”

"You want to make up your mind." Brand immediately saw through his thoughts and said: "You want to know how bad that incident was back then and whether it was worth your trouble."

"I'm not a street hero." Schiller shook his head and said, "If it's just school bullying, it's not my turn to take care of it. I have enough problems."

"Okay, I can help you make arrangements, but I think it's best for you to see a psychiatrist to make sure you're in a good mental state."

"Do you need to evaluate the results?"

"No need this time, but if something happens, I will kick you out and file a complaint against you at Gotham University."

Schiller raised his hands slightly to express surrender. He stood up and said: "Is Cobot in his mother's ward now? I need him to contact Edward to make preliminary preparations for hypnotherapy. In addition, I need a assistant."

"He is always in the ward. You can go to him directly, but the assistant you brought..."

"Of course it's not a medical major, otherwise I wouldn't have to tell you specifically. It's just a little girl to ensure my own safety."

Brand frowned slightly and said, "Do you think the situation has become so serious?"

"You are really just a pathologist. I must emphasize to you that deep hypnosis is an extremely dangerous behavior. This means that I will go deep into the mental world of a mental patient, where there may be all the weird and weird things in the world. Even if he recovers soon, the level of danger there is higher than that of the most insane normal human being.”

Brand did not retort much, he said: "How many days do you need to prepare?"

"Tonight is enough, and tomorrow is day and night. The main thing is that I need someone Edward trusts to comfort him so that he can receive a new treatment calmly."

"Okay, at 7 o'clock tomorrow night, you will have three hours of alone time. That should be enough, right?"

"No problem, but I also want to ask you for a favor." Schiller stood up and said: "Help me keep an eye on Williams by the lake."

Brand shook his head and said, "It's too far away from me."

"But is there water there, or am I going to find a giant octopus?"

"You can't find it." Brand said: "Before the return of the old days, even if you drain the sea water from the entire earth, you won't be able to let the giant octopus warm your stomach."

Schiller smiled, and the two of them walked towards the door, but they bumped into Cobot who was about to walk in.

"Ah, Professor, and Dr. Brand." Copot greeted him. Seeing the lack of nervousness on his face, Schiller knew that there was probably something wrong with his mother.

"I was just looking for you, Professor." Sure enough, Cobot said, Brand left the office alone, leaving the two of them talking alone.

Cobot hesitated for a moment before speaking: "That's right, have your relatives stayed at your house recently? There was a raccoon among them, two purple-skinned girls, a big guy..."

Schiller knew he was talking about the Guardians of the Galaxy, so he nodded and said, "Yeah, they're living in my house now. What's wrong?"

"They're at the Gotham Police Department now."

Schiller raised his eyebrows and said, "Then why didn't Gordon call me?"

"He should call soon. I came to you, mainly because someone contacted me and hoped that I could mediate. You know."

Schiller understood that Williams must have found Cobblepot through his connections, but what did the gang of thugs from the Guardians of the Galaxy do to get him to the police station, and let Williams find Cobblepot to mediate?
