Chapter 3163: The Detective Shall Die (25)

People often hear a truth, that the living can never be compared with the dead. This is actually based on a very simple psychological common sense, which is the completion ability of human consciousness.

Maybe someone has heard that the brain is a supercomputer that no computer can match. The most powerful point is its completion function. You think all the information you receive is what you really see, but in fact, 15% or more of the information is actually completed by the brain itself.

For example, if you are not Voldemort, you should be able to see your own nose. But think carefully about the first-person picture in your memory, how many pictures are blocked by the nose?

Human visual blind spots are not just the nose. Many times, the information received by the eyes is very little, and most of it is completed by the brain itself. This is a concrete completion, and human consciousness can perform abstract completion.

When describing something, mentally normal humans must be logical. For example, causality is the simplest logic.

Because someone wears less clothes, he will feel cold. This is the simplest causal logic. But in fact, when thinking about this logic, consciousness helps you complete things that are not mentioned, such as because wearing less clothes, so cold, is because the weather is cold. If the weather is warmer, then no matter how few clothes you wear, you won't feel cold.

People will subconsciously feel that this logic happens on the basis of cold weather, so when you answer, you will naturally exhort, remember to wear more clothes next time, or take the opportunity to discuss the trend of cooling down recently with him. All answers are produced on the basis of "cold weather."

This is a bottom-level logic written in human thinking, and it is the basis for us to communicate smoothly.

And many mental illness patients, because their consciousness is disordered and they cannot perform this most basic consciousness completion, when people say they feel cold because they wear less clothes, they will not default to cold weather.

Their thinking is runaway, divergent, and inconsistent with this bottom-level logic, which makes it easy to appear communication barriers similar to "No. 42 concrete mixed with pasta."

This is a consciousness completion that many people don't realize, because it is the same as the brain completing visual images for us, it started from birth, because it is too common, it is often not noticed.

And speaking of the difference between life and death, people will use more of this consciousness completion to treat the dead, because like causality, a closed logic that has been finalized has more space for completion, which will make them think they feel understanding, feel clear, feel they are right.

The future of the living is unknown and needs to be guessed, but the future is swaying, and no one dares to say they can guess it. Using this as a comparison, a series of established facts that have already happened will make it easier for them to figure out what is going on through completion, allowing them to have sufficient rights to judge others. This sense of control will bring pleasure, making people more inclined to draw conclusions about the dead.

So the bottom-level logic that the living cannot compare with the dead is actually that the dead are easier to control. In addition to being unable to resurrect in the real world, in abstract fields such as memory, people will also feel that their understanding of a dead person who has been finalized is more and more accurate than the living who produce new connections every day.

In order to strengthen this sense of control, they will inevitably use consciousness to complete more details, to make the logic more smooth, so that they can show that they understand the other party enough and have the right to judge others. This sense of control will bring pleasure.

And the completion for the sake of smoothness always erases many unreasonable places, just as when your line of sight is focused on one place, it is easier to ignore the visual blind spot of the nose below.

This leads to the fact that everything done by people who have died in memory seems to be reasonable, all for a reason, all should be forgiven, and should be praised.

And because the future of the living is unknown, people's impression of the living may be completely overturned by something they do later. In memory, it cannot be dressed up at will, and cannot provide people with the pleasure of understanding and controlling everything, naturally it can never compare with the dead.

When Batman was alive, people thought he was the greatest detective, but he could also not be at any time. Many comics have shown Batman doing wrong things, or accidents, leading to Batman being rejected by people and his reputation falling to the bottom.

But if Batman died, there would be no such accidents. He would have no chance to make any mistakes to affect his reputation, and people would automatically complete the logic of everything he did before and call him the great hero of Gotham.

From another level, all the controversies Batman has received as a comic character are because the comics are still being published and have not been finalized, and once the Batman series is declared completely finished, the status of this comic character in comic history will definitely rise by several levels.

Shiler clearly saw the wavering expression on the Joker's face.

He now has a certain degree of certainty that it was the Joker who tampered with the dice, which led to the main-universe Batman encountering a critical failure at a critical moment, falling into the current situation.

And the appearance of the dice that must throw a critical failure later was very likely because Batman was dying, and the Joker didn't want to play anymore, wanting to pull everyone to die together.

Saving Batman is the most critical link, because to save Batman, the Joker must remove the control of the dice, otherwise one critical failure after another, the main-universe Batman cannot get any treatment.

And the main-universe Batman is alive, the struggle between the Joker and Batman must continue, then the Joker cannot be so anxious to kill everyone, naturally he will not let the must-die dice continue to shake.

But at this step, Shiler didn't continue to persuade. He knew that in the presence of a very typical Batman, he didn't count for anything in the Joker's eyes. Everything depended on whether this Joker was still willing to continue playing with Batman.

So he simply continued the turn, fired a shot to force the monster back, and in the next action, he turned the gun around and used the swing posture of playing baseball to hit the corpse's head.

"Bang!"

The corpse's strength didn't seem to be very great. After being knocked like this, it swayed and fell to the left. The Pale Knight saw the timing and kicked the side of the knee again, and the corpse fell to the ground completely.

Shiler took out the kitchen knife and stabbed the side of the neck. There was no blood in the corpse, and the feeling of stabbing down would be very like stabbing into a sack full of kelp.

After the knife was stabbed in, it wasn't pulled out immediately, but the handle was broken and pressed down, and the head was almost separated from the body.

Before the corpse's hand could grab him, Shiler got up and kicked the knife that hadn't been pulled out. After a very crisp crack, the head rolled to the side.

After the battle, there was no prompt sound effect. The skill list appeared abruptly. After seeing Bruce's situation, Shiler knew that the Level 3 skill should be a qualitative change.

Originally, Bruce's Psychoanalysis should be an active skill, but after reaching Level 3, it directly became a resident passive skill. Although it seemed to copy Shiler's talent, Shiler wasn't actually like this 24 hours a day. The Beyonder was slightly exaggerated.

Shiler thought for a while. He felt that the effect of Level 2 Spirit Vision was already good, so he prepared to add Level 1 First Aid Medical. In this way, as long as the Joker thought it through and got the dice back, he should also be able to treat the main-universe Batman.

The advantage of this game is that whether a character dies is judged according to HP. Even if first aid means cannot treat such wounds in the real world, as long as it can restore HP, the character's situation can be improved.

After adding it, Shiler carefully looked at the skill effect and found that it could indeed restore HP, and after reaching Level 2, it should also be able to terminate the bleeding effect, which should be enough to save the main-universe Batman.

After the battle, Shiler had time to carefully look at the situation in this room. He found that this wasn't just a murder case, the scene was so simple. This room seemed to be a storage room. In addition to shelves for goods, there were several freezers.

Shiler found several footprints in front of the freezer, but unfortunately, analyzing footprints also required rolling dice. He didn't know if the Joker had considered it well now, so Shiler didn't check the footprints carefully.

He opened the freezer door and found that there were two frozen fish left inside, and the appearance of the fish was also very familiar. It was the kind of fish they saw in the dark river of the underground cave, and it was exactly the same as the fish meat splashed out after the woman exploded.

Shiler could completely imagine such a scene: a woman came here in a hurry for some reason, took the fish out of the refrigerator and stuffed it into her mouth, and the man followed, wanting to kill the woman who stole the fish, but was counter-killed by her.

This fish probably really had some magical effect, otherwise why did the woman have to come here to eat fish?

Shiler closed the freezer door and walked to the shelf to look again, finding that what was stored here were also some food.

Shiler left the room, and the others also searched separately on this floor and found nothing special, so it was still Greed leading the way, and everyone came to the fifth floor together.

The situation on the fifth floor was even more tragic.

As soon as he went up, Shiler saw two corpses. One was a woman, looking to be around 40, dressed very simply, with a headscarf on her head. Not far from her lay a little girl, looking like six or seven years old. From the appearance and skeleton, these two people were likely mother and daughter.

Both of them were dead, one with a gunshot wound to the chest and the other with a gunshot wound to the head, clearly man-made.

Walking further inside, there were two more corpses. There were obvious signs of fighting in the corridor. Both were men. One was older, with white beard, looking to be nearly 70 years old, and the other was very young, younger than the male corpse found on the fourth floor with his throat cut.

After Shiler saw all the corpses, he said: "These dead people look like a family."

The Pale Knight also went to flip the older corpse to look at it, then nodded and said: "They have similarities in appearance, and their ages are all right. This old man is likely the oldest grandfather in the family. The woman outside and Jeff are likely a couple. The man who died on the fourth floor and this younger man are likely two sons, the woman who died on the fourth floor is the daughter-in-law, and this little girl is their granddaughter."

However, one person was clearly missing. Shiler thought, because there was another tall, thin middle-aged man in the room with dogs on the first floor. Would he be the real lighthouse guardian? ===== CHAPTER 3164 =====
