Chapter 2167

~12 min read 2,369 words

Penguin, who got the recognition of Spider-Man, had a complicated mood.

Penguin's eyes flashed, and he turned and walked toward the dilapidated house behind and said: "Come in."

Peter could clearly feel the change in his attitude, from the initial prevention and vigilance, it suddenly loosened. He didn't understand why this was.

But he couldn't say a lot of his questions to Bruce on the other end of the earphone now, because there were not many opportunities to gain the trust of such people, and the timing was fleeting. He had to grasp it. By the time Bruce answered his questions, Penguin would have already driven him out.

But Peter didn't have experience with this kind of thing. He didn't know how he should perform next to further move Penguin. Even if Peter knew that Penguin couldn't become a good person, so he didn't prepare to persuade people to be good, and it was not so easy to gain his trust.

Just when Peter was uneasy, he suddenly remembered that he had another trump card, and the great black sun must be able to provide him with help.

Peter sighed, and the moment he concentrated, the gray fog spread. He stood in front of that huge black sun again.

Peter didn't know how to pray, so he could only briefly state his confusion and emphasized.

"In fact, I don't know what kind of person he is, so I don't know how to get along with him. I also don't know what he is thinking now, so I don't know what to say later. Do you have any suggestions?"

Peter received Penguin's life story. He looked at it carefully, but still scratched his head in confusion.

He could see some problems from Penguin's background, but these problems were obviously irreversible. Peter didn't have the confidence to smooth out the childhood trauma for Oswald Cobblepot in such a short time. He was never good at doing this.

Peter got some more materials.

These materials made him even more confused, because the cover of the materials was clearly written—"Psychoanalysis."

"God." Peter let out a scream, "You don't want me to learn a psychological treatment method from scratch here, do you? This is impossible!"

Then Peter found that he couldn't get out.

He could only sigh miserably, resigned to his fate, and looked at the stack of materials. The materials were not thick at all, not even as long as Cobblepot's life story.

Peter swore that he had read this material with the most serious attitude in his life, but still felt that the whole article could be summarized into one word—"guessing."

But Peter Parker is not Batman. He immediately put his hands together in front of his chest with the most piety, and looked at the black sun in front of him with the most sincere eyes.

"I will definitely study hard later, but give me the answer this time, please! Without examples, I can't understand these things at all!"

Peter tried hard to recall the vocabulary used by his Catholic classmate when praying, and mixed in some scientific terms he was very good at, and made up a big prayer, hoping to move this mysterious god and get the answer.

Isn't that how God works? Peter thought, if you have to study knowledge to get the answer, why doesn't he go to do scientific research?

Other Popes can directly accept divine revelation. He at least occupies the position of a Son, and he has to read for 20 years before asking God for a solution?

Peter had auditory hallucinations of the black sun's sigh, but he finally got the answer.

From this answer, Peter learned that the first step of psychoanalysis is to figure out the attributes of the analysis object, mainly by analyzing the most significant characteristics of his personality from his past experiences, and finding the attributes related to the situation they are facing now.

There is no doubt that the most important attribute now is that Penguin has always been profit-oriented regardless of good or evil, so whether superheroes and super criminals recognize him is not important to him.

After analyzing this point, a significant contradiction arises. Since whether Spider-Man recognizes him is not important to him, how could Penguin's attitude change after Spider-Man recognized him?

This leads to what is special about Spider-Man.

There is no doubt that Spider-Man is a good person, but there are many good people in this world. Why is Spider-Man special?

When Spider-Man was observing Cat Getan, Gothamites were also observing him, and then they found that this guy is an extremely outrageous good person who shouldn't exist and can't pick out any faults at all.

He is not the kind of good person who has added a bunch of restrictive conditions, whose definition is longer than the real name, and who still needs to be identified in different occasions and different time periods.

He is the kind of good person in the universal values who can't pick out any faults even by this group of madmen in Cat Getan, and doesn't even have the attribute of strong power.

And Spider-Man's most special feature is that he always calls himself a hero of ordinary people. During the time he stayed in Cat Getan, he did exactly that.

He didn't go to Arkham Asylum to beat up those madmen, although he had the ability to do so. He didn't go to the few buildings Batman often went to to watch, and go to stop wherever there was a gang fire.

What he did most often was living in the slums, helping this one fix electrical appliances today, helping that one fix water pipes tomorrow, checking street by street, not letting go of any black evil forces that bullied and oppressed others, distinguishing right from wrong, and being righteous, insisting on extremely simple views of good and evil from beginning to end.

His view of good and evil is not the kind that has been baptized by society, knows how to compromise and endure, or becomes less pure, but is the orientation of the most simple human pursuit of beauty.

And no one can accuse him of being empty, because he practices it with his body, and follows the principle of changing a little bit if he can, helping one if he can. No matter if this place is saved or not, even if I make one person's life better, my efforts are meaningful.

He doesn't even spare spending 10 times the energy to make a 0.01 change. As long as he thinks this can produce change, he will do his best to do it. He is an impeccable practitioner.

Those Gothamites who received his help, in their crazy and chaotic little brains, in those philosophical reflections full of inspiration and keen thinking, couldn't find any vocabulary that could mix miscellaneous colors into the soul of such people.

This is not crazy enough. What's crazy is that the Joker couldn't do it either.

If Superman lifts the two ships under threat so that everyone can be saved because he is both righteous and powerful, and doesn't care what the people in the ships think, as long as they are saved.

To some extent, he is like a sheepdog on the periphery of the flock, and he is so powerful that the wolf's teeth cannot hurt him at all, so he can protect the flock very well.

And if it is Spider-Man, he indeed cannot lift two ships at the same time, but he will definitely arrive at the exploding ship before the last second of the explosion, just to save more people after the disaster happens.

He is the kindest and firmest head sheep in the flock, never leaving the flock, forever ready to sacrifice.

Such a person can move Oswald Cobblepot the most, because he was once the thinnest sheep in the flock.

In his life, he never met any sheepdog capable of preventing disasters. The sheep that left the sheepfold to seek hope never returned. The awakeners with great ambitions in the flock never cared about him.

No one has ever stood with Penguin.

The life stage of being in a disadvantaged group caused great trauma to Penguin, but Spider-Man is a hero who firmly protects disadvantaged groups and has really done so and succeeded.

These are the special attributes of the two people that can be used in the current event, and then we must analyze Penguin's unique personality attributes.

To do personality attribute analysis, you only need to ask one question: Why is Penguin Penguin?

In Penguin's childhood, when people mocked him, they said he looked like a fat penguin, and that ugly and sinister hooked nose was like a penguin's mouth.

But even if Penguin is a madman, he wouldn't be willing to put those words that ignorant fools thought of casually on his own head.

Penguin likes penguins very much, just like Batman likes bats very much. Their code names have a subtle connection, because penguins and bats are gregarious animals.

They choose such animals not by accident. Although Batman thinks bats are animals that bring fear to people, it cannot be denied that he saw the beauty and greatness of the gregarious attribute from the swarms of bats.

The society of gregarious creatures is like a signal amplifier, making their good and evil exaggerated to a kind of dramatic beauty, and people who can appreciate this beauty are often people who are not accepted by their existing gregarious society.

Oswald Cobblepot is such a person, and Bruce Wayne is also such a person.

So they imagine themselves in another kind of gregarious society, where they occupy a position far more important than now, obtain the care and love of another kind of companion, and enjoy the warmth of a real gregarious society.

And Batman is different from Penguin. Batman sees the side of the evil magnified by gregarious creatures. Swarms of bats often bring greater fear to people than a single bat, so when choosing to spread fear, he gave himself a bat code name.

But humans are always more willing to analyze the gregarious groups and family relationships of penguins, especially family relationships. In the common sense cognition of the public, penguins have relatively stable family relationships in the animal kingdom.

And most importantly, their group relationships are not reflected in the distinct classes and strict superior-subordinate relationships of other gregarious animals, but in mutual help, especially the beautiful attribute of helping the weak in the group.

Many people have seen in natural documentaries that penguins huddle in a circle to keep warm, will surround the cubs in the center, penguin fathers and mothers will take turns hatching eggs, and sometimes even give eggs to others to hatch.

Little penguins will go to nursery schools, and the adult penguins who manage the nursery schools may not have blood relationships with them, just simply taking care of the cubs entrusted by the group.

Even if the penguin society is not all such beautiful attributes, the information that people can accept at a certain stage of life is limited. In the common sense of most people, penguins are such an animal, and Oswald Cobblepot is no exception.

Penguin chooses penguins, not resignation to the derogatory nicknames given to him by those who mocked him, not pain, sadness, and extreme helplessness self-deprecation.

He saw the side of the kindness of gregarious creatures magnified by the penguin's gregarious society. He longed for this warmth and kindness, imagining that in a certain penguin group, he was a cub surrounded by all the clansmen, cared for by all the clansmen.

The more you can't get, the more you want it. The more you lack, the more you need to fill the blank with imagination.

Batman gained too much family love from his parents, so he longed for the more severe and cruel side of gregarious society.

Penguin never gained any love from his family, so he longed for the more warm and kind side of gregarious society.

And this warm side is reflected in the protection of disadvantaged groups.

There is no doubt that ordinary people who will be threatened by criminals are disadvantaged groups in this society. Spider-Man chose to firmly stand on their side, and his behavior made Penguin see the perfect operation mode of the society in his imagination.

So he didn't accept Spider-Man, just accepted the hero in his childhood-missing imagination.

But Penguin also has a twisted side. The trauma brought to him by disadvantaged groups made him want to climb up desperately. As long as he becomes a strong person, he will not be bullied.

But the road to pursuing transcendence is endless. New status and new environment will bring new dangers. Every time he climbs a ladder again, he will find that he is still a disadvantaged group in this level and still has not enough.

Years of climbing made this cycle of being stimulated by the new environment, losing a sense of security, and having to move upward again to gain a sense of security, become a difficult-to-change instinct.

So although he has a perfect gregarious society in his mind, he will never stop to build this society, because he feels he has no surplus and is never safe.

All of Penguin's behaviors come from the need to get rid of the identity of a disadvantaged group and the need to obtain a sense of security from climbing to the next strong level. This is Penguin's main difficult-to-change personality attribute and underlying behavioral logic.

Peter even began to feel that this thing was not a guess.

Peter continued to look down in fascination, and then he found that there was nothing behind.

Peter opened his eyes in shock, but no matter how he prayed, the black sun had no movement.

Peter was scratching his heart and lungs.

And at this time, he found that he could finally leave, so he hurriedly returned to the real world, pressed the earphone and said to Bruce on the other side:

"Penguin has no sense of security. What should I do to give him a sense of security?"

"……Ah?"
