Chapter 3025: Mercury Notes (22)

Bruce still thought everything was too simple.

He thought that the two students most skilled in psychoanalysis had chosen to compromise and would no longer cause trouble in class, so the atmosphere in the classroom would quiet down, and he would be able to regain the initiative.

But in fact, collective contradictions are not so easy to solve, especially when the contradiction has already arisen and has deteriorated to the point of personal attacks. Now that he finally thought of solving the root problem, the subsequent problems that arose also became new root problems, which could not be easily solved.

Controlling emotions is a quite advanced skill, not everyone can possess it, and it is even rarer among young people. This world is ultimately about arrogance and prejudice.

Some people were originally just disgusted with Jenna's statement. They were admirers of behavioral analysis and had quite a talent in this area, and could completely see that Jenna was talking nonsense.

But later, the disgust for the theory rose to disgust for the individual.

When he went to class the next day, Bruce felt that the atmosphere in the classroom was a bit strange. Before class started, some people were whispering below. After class started, Bruce discovered that there was no one sitting next to Jenna.

These top students were all scrambling to sit in the front. Jenna's seat was in the second row. Logically speaking, it should be full. It had been like this for these days. As a result, Jenna was sitting on the left side of the second row today, and there was no second person on the left side of the entire second row.

Bruce frowned deeply. At this time, he realized that what he thought was still a bit simple, and the degree of deterioration of the situation exceeded his imagination.

Fortunately, he followed Batman's habit and installed a wiretap between the seats. The wiretap had a recording function. Taking advantage of the dozens of seconds before the course officially started, Bruce heard what they were saying.

Someone was questioning Jenna for cheating.

What's even more terrible is that Bruce really has to take a lot of responsibility for this matter.

Before, Bruce was optimistic about Jenna's talent, so he called her to the office, and later called her twice.

If only this one thing happened, it would be fine. The key is that Bruce also did one thing before, which was only leaving homework for two classes and ignoring the remaining two classes.

Looking at these two things together, isn't this Bruce opening a small stove for Jenna?

The relationship between the two of them is so close, then maybe Jenna entered Bruce's office, saw Bruce's lesson plan, and learned the answer in advance, and for the sake of vanity, she held the answer and deduced the process in class, showing how excellent she is.

To be honest, this inference has a certain truth. There are never few such people in this world. Coupled with the fact that Bruce really didn't do it right, the students already had some opinions about him, and combined with Jenna's bizarre performance, it's hard not to make people think in this direction.

In essence, it is because some people really can't imagine how magical psychoanalysis can be. Bruce can't blame them, because he was like this before. He suffered so much loss but just didn't believe in evil.

Now it's good. If Bruce announces now that he wants Jenna to be his assistant, it will undoubtedly further intensify the contradiction.

He completely believes that this group of teenagers dares to confront him in class and ask him to say one, two, three, four. By that time, things will be even harder to handle.

Because he really can't say why he wants Jenna to be his assistant, because this is actually a transaction, in order not to let Jenna use her set of wrong reverse-deduction theories to brainwash others again.

Then why can't Bruce crack this theory?

Because Jenna is really talented, her results are always correct, so the statement is particularly convincing.

Then why are her results always correct?

At this step, Bruce couldn't say anything, because Jenna has the talent for psychoanalysis, which is a skill she was born with, worth countless years of hard study by countless people.

Bruce originally thought that getting Jenna done would be enough to stop the matter, but in fact, he had already missed the only time point to solve the problem.

Bruce knew that when he first reported, Schiller targeted him so much, there must be a reason, but he didn't expect that this key time point was really the only one, and it wouldn't wait if missed.

Once this time point is missed, everything slides toward the unavoidable abyss.

Bruce should have attracted all her attention to himself the first time he saw Jenna, so that he could form emotional control, strip the relationship between the two of them from the simple teacher-student relationship, and let the sharp blade named behavioral analysis in Bruce's hand not cause harm to those ordinary students.

Bruce finally understands why Schiller did that at the beginning, not only for him, but also for other students at Cat Getan University, otherwise things would sooner or later evolve into the situation today.

Because his talent in behavioral analysis is better than Jenna's talent in psychoanalysis, and his reputation is even bigger than this little girl, which can trigger bigger waves. If Schiller couldn't find a way to control him, then the situation in the classroom at Cat Getan University would probably be worse than today.

However, this time point is fleeting, too difficult to grasp, like a wave disappearing for a moment, a fleeting streamer.

Until now, Bruce doesn't know how Schiller grabbed this butterfly that was about to fly away within a few seconds of seeing him for the first time.

This is also his deepest understanding of the power of psychoanalysis.

But missing it is missing it. Batman is not the kind of person who will dwell on the past. He now needs to find a way to solve this difficult problem in front of him.

But things have developed to this situation, explanation is basically useless. People's inner prejudice is like a mountain, and even Batman's steel body will be crushed by this mountain.

Precisely because Bruce is smart enough, he knows that he has no position to ask this group of students to maintain objectivity and calmness like gods. This is anti-human and impossible to achieve.

Then, to move this mountain, you can't come hard. Authority is not a fist, but a nuclear weapon. Once thrown out, the deterrent power is greatly reduced. Throwing it around without evidence that can convince the public will not only fail to save Jenna, but may also implicate himself and become a clown.

It must be well-founded, with ironclad evidence.

At this time, Jenna also realized the situation around her.

Normally, she is a very calm girl. In the vampire group, facing such terrible pressure, she could accurately execute her plan and force Green Lantern to reveal flaws. If it weren't for Flash's ability being too heaven-defying, she would have won.

But she can also be called defeating gods with a mortal body.

But it may be because Jenna in this universe is younger, and when she realized what situation she was in, she still had a moment of panic, and instinctively looked at Bruce.

And what made Bruce feel even sadder is that Jenna also realized that Bruce cannot announce that she will become his assistant at this time. She knows that doing so is the most rational approach.

But when people are fragile and helpless, what they need is not rational analysis, but emotional support. Sometimes they know that some things are wrong and useless, but they still hope that someone can stand up bravely to speak for them in this situation. Only such physical comfort can make them suddenly trapped in the quagmire feel safe.

Humans will pay everything for the sense of security at such a moment.

But Jenna gave Bruce a "it's okay" look.

Bruce felt his neck being pinched, and a breath was stuck in his throat and couldn't come up.

After a while, he slowly exhaled a breath, lowered his eyelids, as if he had made a major decision.

Outside the window, the mysterious patterns of the sun were constantly blooming. The soft light filtered through the glass window shone on half of Bruce's face. With the same calm and peaceful expression, one side looked like praying devoutly, and the other side looked like mourning painfully.

As soon as the class bell rang, Bruce picked up the lesson plan he had written and said, "Students, I have already said in the group yesterday that the content of today's class is criminal psychology, and there are three fresh cases waiting for us to explore..."

Only his voice echoed in the classroom, and there was silence under the stage, as if everyone was waiting for the fuse of the bomb to burn to the end.

"But unfortunately..." Bruce changed the subject and said, "I don't have the good physique of your other professors. The teaching task is too heavy recently. I feel very tired, my immunity has dropped significantly, and the school doctor said I need to rest."

The whispering under the stage finally broke out, but when Bruce spoke again, they returned to calm again.

"Please study by yourself first. In about ten minutes, a new substitute teacher will come to give you a lecture."

Until Bruce walked out of the classroom, the enthusiastic discussion broke out, and Jenna was also at a loss.

Because of her excellent psychoanalytic talent, she knew that Bruce was not a person who would make such a decision. In the dictionary of people like Batman, there is no word for avoidance. Temporary concession is just to do better later.

In her view, not mentioning the previous transaction at all, teaching the class well first, and then thinking of ways to do it slowly after class is the decision Bruce would make.

Then what is he doing now?

Ten minutes later, a figure appeared at the door on time. The tall and thin figure walked onto the podium, and someone called out his name—"Professor Rodriguez."

Why is it him?

Jenna used her talent for the first time—the next second, Schiller looked over, and the golden vertical pupils stared straight at her.

Jenna's heart beat violently.

She started panting like crazy, like an asthma patient who was about to faint.

In her psychological picture, the image depicted in a few strokes was not a person, but more like a... monster.

A terrifying monster.
