Chapter 2455: The Battle for the Cape (20)

Is Robin King a person who doesn't care about fame and fortune?

Of course not. On the contrary, he is an attention-driven personality, which is also a common problem for many patients with antisocial personality disorder. Many antisocial behaviors they make are aimed at attracting extra attention from others. Others' attention is a drug that can be addictive to them. The entire character of the Joker is created based on this logic.

They crave an audience, crave a sense of presence, and crave feedback provided by the entire society and human groups. In addition to positive feedback such as cheers and applause, stimulating feedback such as screams and fear is better.

Robin King actually had the ability to dissect small animals without Thomas and Martha finding out. He had ten thousand ways to destroy all evidence before they came back, but he wouldn't do so.

Because for him, the physiological structure of small animals wasn't attractive enough. What truly fascinated him was the fear and screams of Thomas and Martha the moment they discovered the animal corpses. That would make Robin King obtain a peculiar sense of presence satisfaction.

They are naturally fond of seeing their own kind show stimulating emotions such as fear. Some studies believe that this may be because they still retain some kind of primitive hormone. The warning of the same kind facing dangerous wild beasts, such as the smell of fear and screams, will stimulate their adrenaline, making them feel excited.

In primitive society, this was a necessary condition for dealing with enemies. And when it was retained, it easily became a source of psychological pleasure for these antisocial people.

If in modern society, there are not enough powerful foreign enemies to make people feel fear, so as to obtain the excitement of group fear signals, then they play this powerful enemy themselves to obtain enough pleasure.

So Robin King always breaks the rules in front of Martha and Thomas time and time again, because the screams and fear of his parents are the source of his pleasure.

But in fact, if there is no such stimulation, then positive feedback is also okay, such as someone marveling at him, becoming the focus of everyone's attention, which can also make him obtain short-term satisfaction.

However, in this illusion composed of thick fog, Robin King knew this was an illusion. He just wanted to compete with the mastermind behind the scenes in this way, similar to "I want to see what kind of illusion you can create to defeat me".

Before this, Robin King thought he had no weaknesses, but he soon discovered that this mastermind behind the scenes understood him better than he imagined.

Because in this illusion, everyone is like a greedy machine. They have an unimaginably high preset for the achievements Robin King can achieve, so that no matter how good the results Robin King achieves, they feel it is not enough.

What truly made Robin King feel collapsed was that they had a set of their own logic, rather than reading lines directly.

Because Robin King had tried to argue with Thomas, he pointed out various examples to prove that the things he had learned and the achievements he had made now were far beyond common sense, and the other party should express amazement. If he didn't express amazement, it proved that he was a fake person.

But Thomas took out his own set of logic. First, are you doing better than those around you?

Robin King naturally thought so. He not only had better grades than everyone else but also made the best progress in various hobbies.

Thomas then proposed, then are you doing better than others in terms of morality?

Although Robin King was unwilling to admit it, in order to win over the mastermind behind the scenes, he didn't do anything illegal in this environment, was always a good man, and even performed two acts of bravery, receiving an interview from the mayor.

Then Thomas proposed, then is your family background better than others?

This was an established fact; King Robin could not lie through his teeth. At this period in time, the Wei En Group was not the richest in the world, merely a local prominent family.

So Thomas proposed on this issue, since your family background is worse than others, then you should do better than others, because the clumsy bird flies first.

Okay, now Robin King knew which direction to work toward, so he spent only a few months making the Wei En Group bigger and stronger, becoming the world's number one. Now he was not only the son of the world's richest man but also the world's richest man himself.

As a result, Thomas took out a new set of logic, which was the theory of effort. Do you think you have worked hard enough?

Robin King indicated that I have made our family the world's richest man in a few months, is that not hard enough?

Thomas asked again, then do you think you work harder than everyone else?

Robin King's answer was naturally affirmative.

But Thomas inferred again, your starting point was higher than others in the first place. Others' family backgrounds are far inferior to yours, but they can also achieve the world's second or third. Isn't it that they work harder than you?

Very good, now it has entered a dead loop again. When the family background is not good, Thomas says that the clumsy bird flying first is what it should be. When the family background is good, Thomas says that it is normal to achieve achievements with a high starting point.

Robin King felt that he couldn't hold onto this point for debate anymore, so he indicated that among peers all over the world, he was the first. This was an indisputable fact.

As a result, Thomas said, comparing with peers, that is comparing with the insufficient above and the surplus below. Don't pick the good ones to compare, just pick the bad ones. Why can't you compare with the whole age group?

So Robin King did some scientific research and threw the results in front of Thomas, indicating that all mankind now couldn't compare to him.

Then Thomas said, have you compared with the great men in history? If you were placed in the kind of situation in history, could you do better than the great men? You were all blessed by the good environment.

Robin King was furious and directly launched a war, dragging all mankind into the abyss of war, and then started to build a foundation from scratch, successfully unifying the earth, proving that he did better than everyone in history.

As a result, Thomas said, even if you do well now, how do you know you won't do better in the future? If you are proud and complacent now, you will never have the chance to surpass yourself.

Then how should Robin King compare with his future self? He raised this question. As a result, Thomas took out the trump card: the you who was carefree when you were young is more cute. The current you is too utilitarian and has completely lost your original intention. Your mother and I feel very disappointed.

Robin King had nothing to say.

It's not that he really couldn't do anything about Thomas and Martha. Of course, he could kill them easily, but he regarded this as a competition and confrontation. He had to defeat the other party head-on. Since this was the case, being angry and taking action was equivalent to admitting defeat himself.

He of course knew that this was splitting hairs, but he thought that by virtue of his strength, he could drill a hole even if it was splitting hairs, so why not?

What he was looking forward to was the other party being shocked by the great achievements he had made and unable to speak, unable to pick any faults anymore, or at least starting to enter the field of sophistry, nitpicking and picking faults, so that Robin King could rightfully mock the mastermind behind the scenes, unable to deny his achievements but picking bones in an egg.

But now he discovered that Thomas and Martha possessed a kind of all-around defensive logic. It was not a sophistry logic that the mastermind behind the scenes made up on the spot or forced out to win this duel, but that there really were such people in the world.

They had a set of their own thinking logic independent of the world, and it was interlocking. No matter what, they could turn to negation.

If you stand out in a group, they will say you are lucky. If you stand out in all groups, they will say there must be other groups.

If you do a year-on-year comparison, they will say you don't do it big enough. If you do a year-over-year comparison, they will say you don't work hard enough.

If you really did the best among the living, they will take you to compare with the dead. If you did the best in history, they will start to loan the future to compare.

If you have done the best in all the above, and even refuted them to the point of being speechless with real evidence, they will say you have forgotten your original intention, and the ignorant, backward you who knew nothing is still more pure and likable.

Then if you decide to ignore them and just bury your head and move forward, they will say you don't listen to others' opinions and act arbitrarily, and jump out when you make any small mistake and say "na na na na na, I told you so long ago".

If you decide to listen to them, reflect on yourself and make improvements, put down everything and return to your original intention, they will say you are too irresponsible, clearly have the ability to take responsibility but avoid responsibility, only caring about your own thoughts being smooth, and have no social responsibility, and jump out when you encounter any problems later and say "how was it back then".

In short, no matter how well you do in this process or what choices you make, this kind of person will not be satisfied. It seems that the purpose of their existence is to disgust every arrogant genius, letting them understand that even if they conquer the whole universe, they cannot conquer the mouths of this group of people.

They just stand there quietly, like stones that are smelly and hard in the dung pit. Even if someone transforms the dung pit into heaven, they can still spray dung with their mouths full of shit in their stomachs.

And a super genius like Robin King who thinks the world is under control will always realize a desperate fact at one moment—in some corner of this world that sings praises for his achievements, in some corner of this world that surrenders and trembles for his power, this group of people will never change their ideas.

Let you destroy or create the world, let you change or surpass yourself, they always have their own set of theories and are very happy to deny you. Recognizing and sincerely praising others never existed in their lives.

For a sage who doesn't care about others' eyes, the existence or non-existence of this group of people has no meaning. But is Robin King such a sage? Of course he is not. The core of his personality is craving attention.

But he doesn't want this kind of attention. It makes him feel like he is stained with shit. And young Robin King didn't realize that the moment he realized this was shit, he should stay away, instead of trying to throw a bomb into the latrine head-on.

Robin King, who couldn't bear it anymore, killed Thomas and Martha, just as he had done in his own universe.

Then, he ushered in the most disgusting moment of his life.

"Look, Martha, I said long ago, Bruce is such a person. No matter what achievements he has made, he will not be good to his parents. He was a hypocrite in the first place." Thomas lying in a pool of blood said so.

"Yes, Thomas, you are right. We expected it long ago, didn't we? No matter how much he disguises, he can't hide it from his parents. We are the only people in this world who know his true face. The restrictive measures we took were right. Now he has really done this. He is really a born bad seed."

"It's a pity that the world ignored our foresight, but it doesn't matter. They will soon pay the price for underestimating our opinions. This evil bad seed will soon slaughter the whole world."

"Yes, but this is also the price they should pay for their stupidity. We said long ago..."

Thomas and Martha died.

Robin King really vomited, physically vomited. ===== CHAPTER 2456 =====
