Chapter 3031

Schiller moved his gaze away from the lecture notes, looked at the student who asked the question, shook his head gently, and said: "Deep analysis represents deep feeling, and it is almost difficult to achieve deep feeling while holding a photo. It is best to come into contact with the scene."

If it were that group of students at Gotham University, they would of course be fooled by him like this. But which one of those present was not a dragon or phoenix among people? They immediately discovered the meaning of refusal in Schiller's words.

Finally, someone asked that key question.

"Professor, I heard that you are very good at psychoanalysis, and your empathy ability must be very strong. Can you demonstrate a truly deep analysis for us?"

Schiller sighed somewhat helplessly, looked at him, and said: "I already said that feeling while facing a photo is far from being called deep analysis, but there is no crime scene here..."

Just as he said this, the door of the classroom was knocked on with a bang, bang, bang.

The student closest to the door walked over and opened the door. A student rushed in with an anxious expression and said: "Professor, Professor Diana and the others found a corpse in an empty classroom on the lower level. Professor Wei En asked me to call you over!"

For some reason, Schiller just felt that this scene was a bit familiar. He thought to himself, is it certain that what is in the underground classroom is a person and not a troll?

Actually, Schiller was not unwilling to demonstrate the magic of psychoanalysis for the students, because he knew that many students present had a certain talent in this aspect. Although not as strong as Jenna, they could be considered outstanding among ordinary people.

If he could successfully arouse the interest of this group of people and let them appreciate the charm of psychoanalysis, then perhaps he would have a few more excellent graduate students in the future, so Schiller was very willing to demonstrate for them.

But unfortunately, his current state was not very good.

In order to lure the witch into the trap, Schiller now didn't even drink snowdrop tea, letting the curse continuously erode this body. Maintaining a human form was already his last bottom line. If Circe didn't come again, he was prepared to turn back into a snake.

And maintaining snake habits in a human form requires a price. Let's put it this way: the reason why snakes have such habits is because they evolved a body that lives with these habits. Conversely, it is precisely because they have such a body that they can live with such habits.

Humans did not evolve in the direction of snakes. Just relying on sunlight to maintain body temperature is a habit that cannot support such a large body. Moreover, human skin is also different from cold-blooded animals, and the ability to perceive and absorb temperature is too poor.

Schiller is now like a supercomputer with a Windows XP system installed. The power of no hardware can be fully utilized, and the running speed is worrying.

Then, is it impossible for him to conduct empathy under these circumstances?

Actually, it is just the opposite. The worse his state is, the stronger his empathy ability is. It is like this in a pathological state, and it is actually like this in a normal state.

The ability to empathize with others to conduct psychoanalysis belongs to the bottom logic of Schiller's spirit. It does not mean that he does not have such ability because he is separated or not in the high tower. In fact, every personality trait has it.

And the empathy ability possessed by every personality trait is actually the same. It will become stronger and stronger because the mental state becomes worse.

This belongs to a basic law of the human spirit, similar to the fact that the worse your mental state is, the more you love to let your imagination run wild, and the most important support for empathy ability is association.

What's more, when the mental state is bad to a certain extent, hallucinations will begin to appear, and the hallucinations seen by empaths are often composed of information received by their empathy organs manifested into pictures.

Pictures are of course much more concrete and accurate than hazy feelings. Therefore, once the mental situation deteriorates to the point of hallucinations, the empathy and psychoanalysis ability will become very strong, which can be called the peak state of empaths.

Previously, Schiller evaluated that Jenna's peak state could be comparable to his pathological state. In fact, it meant that if one day Jenna's mental state deteriorated to the point of hallucinations, it would basically be about the same level as the pathological state.

But now Jenna's mental state is a bit too healthy, which leads to her empathy ability not being able to be fully exerted. Let alone seeing concrete pictures, she can only barely sense the emotional atmosphere. Although it is enough at her stage, what will happen later is still unknown.

And the excessive empathy state will lead to a problem. The mental state is already not good, and one has to empathize with those strange murderers, which easily leads to a more disordered mental state, and even many times one will indulge in it and be unable to extricate oneself, tending to be consistent with the behavior of the empathy object.

This is why natural empaths easily become serial killers, because they cannot control the empathy ability and are tortured to exhaustion. The mental state is already disordered, and in areas with poor public security, they are easily influenced by other criminals. Not committing crimes is a low-probability event.

Therefore, Schiller is not worried about the inaccuracy of his empathy now, but just thinks that if he conducts psychoanalysis now, it is very likely to further deteriorate his mental state.

He was already not in high spirits because of the curse, and if it deteriorates further, he is afraid he won't even need to sleep.

Schiller originally thought that these students would spend at least more than a year here, and then return to Earth for internships. After solving the witch incident and lifting the curse, it would not be too late to demonstrate for them.

As a result, the crime scene was delivered to his doorstep.

Some things just have to be believed. Schiller had also questioned Murphy's Law, but facts have proven that this law can be spread so widely, and it indeed has a certain reason.

He originally thought that if the witch dared to come over, this is Superman, Wonder Woman, and The Flash. These people are enough to pin Circe down and give her a beating, and he doesn't need to take action at all.

But facts have proven that this cunning witch has not completely lost her mind. She will not easily show up in person, but can hide in the dark and cause trouble.

Although the Mercury base has quite perfect security measures, it was brought over from another universe after all. The difference in science between these two universes is not big, and it can be said that there is basically none. But magic is like a donkey's lips not matching a horse's mouth. In essence, it is not the same thing, so there are indeed loopholes that can be drilled.

And regarding solving the case, Clark and Diana really can't help much, and Oliver and Arthur are also a bit lacking. The only ones who can really come in handy are Bruce and Barry, as well as Schiller.

However, the Barry of this universe of Schiller is still very young, and he has not learned forensic science, so he can't help much in criminal investigation.

Originally, he could travel back to the past to see the answer directly, but it just so happened that there was another person present called Booster Gold, which is that young superhero from the future.

Don't look at this guy acting very unreliable, hanging out with that Blue Beetle every day, chasing chickens and dogs. That is all someone else's disguise. Booster Gold's true identity is the guardian of the timeline. His job is to protect the stability of the timeline. He does the work of the Time Variance Authority. He will not let The Flash travel through the timeline so easily.

Moreover, the DC timeline is actually more complicated than Marvel's. It is complicated because it is full of running Flashes and various enemies of The Flash. If they bump into each other, it is no different from an ordinary person bumping into a fully insured semi-trailer.

Neither Schiller nor Bruce approves of Barry going deep into the timeline now. Even if he had fused with dark power before, it is also very dangerous.

So now the ones who can do the work are still this pair of master and apprentice, Schiller.

And if it were fully handed over to Bruce, Schiller really wouldn't be at ease. Bringing these four classes of about a hundred people can be brought into this state. You say, can you still be at ease with him going to do something?

Schiller sighed, knowing that he had to go.

He hadn't even been able to say anything yet, and the students below cheered first, and then realized something was wrong halfway through the cheering, and all stopped somewhat awkwardly.

"Alright." Schiller knocked on the table and said: "With such a big thing happening, everyone must be present. You be quieter. After arriving at the crime scene, absolutely do not make noise, and do not rush to squeeze in. In case you encounter any unexpected situations, do not panic. The professors will protect you..."

Theoretically speaking, hearing that someone died in the base where they are located should cause panic, but it just so happened that Schiller had whetted their appetites before. This group of students didn't feel panic at all, all holding back and wanting to see how Schiller solves the case, running out of the door happily.

Looking at their energetic backs, Schiller thought, no matter what way the mastermind wants to cause panic among the students, they are afraid they won't succeed. If asked, it is the charm of education.

Schiller didn't rush out, first tidied up the lesson plan on the table, and then gave a look to Jenna, who was also tidying up things. The little girl immediately understood, fell to the end of the crowd, and walked forward side by side with Schiller.

"How do you feel?" Schiller asked. He actually just wanted to ask if Jenna was tired, because when developing one's own empathy talent at the beginning, it would consume too much spirit. When immersed in empathy, one doesn't feel it, but once detached, one will feel very exhausted. His original intention was to let Jenna go back to rest.

Unexpectedly, Jenna said very excitedly: "There are many ideas lingering in my mind. I somewhat want to write them down, but I have no clue. Before, I had tried to observe Professor Wei En, but at that time my own ideas were very messy, and I couldn't find the right path. Now I feel I can try again..."

Schiller also had to admit that young people are energetic. After thinking for a while, he said: "I don't object to you doing this, Miss, but I think Professor Wei En's problem can be put aside for now. Let us first focus on the case before us."

Sure enough, Jenna's attention was attracted. She looked very serious, thought for a while, and said: "Professor, which race do you think the victim belongs to?"

"Do you think race is important?"

"Of course, to be accurate, it is one of the key pieces of information." Jenna nodded and said: "The difficulty of killing an ordinary human and killing me is not the same. The choice of race must be an important clue to determine the murderer."

"You can discuss this point with Professor Wei En."

"Then what should I discuss with you?" Jenna looked at him and asked, "In the situation of not knowing any information, how does psychoanalysis play a role?"

Schiller shook his head and said: "Psychoanalysis is not just analyzing the murderer. When a murder case occurs, all the atmosphere related to it may be an important clue."
