Chapter 3173

Regarding the fact that he was kicked by Pride, the Beyonder was not sad; he even wanted to laugh a little.

Of course, he wasn't like this from the beginning.

When he was first found by Pride, he was still panicked for a moment, but he wasn't stupid either. He immediately realized that the key wasn't copying the talent, but who he gave this talent's form of expression to.

He could fully understand Pride's worry, but he explained to Pride that his worry was purely redundant, because the Beyonder just copied a skin. Those messy lines actually had no meaning; they were just imitating Pride's perspective. The real answer was what the Beyonder recited to Bruce.

He found that Pride was obviously relieved after learning this, but he also found that Pride seemed to have some other ideas.

The Beyonder also knew that Bruce had a special status in Schiller's heart. He showed Pride the data of the whole game. Bruce was indeed luckier and drew the identity of a psychologist. He didn't move his hands and feet in it.

The Beyonder very sensibly indicated that it was just a game, and the rules could be adjusted at any time. At worst, he wouldn't engage in these fancy forms of performance, and would just give the answer directly to Bruce.

But perhaps it was also because Pride had the attributes of the Joker, fearing that his brother would suffer, but also fearing that his brother would open a Land Rover, fearing that his student would suffer, but also feeling that this rebellious disciple of his hadn't suffered enough.

Pride expressed disagreement.

The Beyonder understood his idea, so he tentatively proposed that he could connect the spiritual worlds of the two through the Battleworld system—that is, let Bruce truly obtain Schiller's talent.

The form was a bit similar to the spiritual synchronization between Schiller and the main universe Batman before, but more stable. This could allow Bruce to truly see the world from the perspective of Schiller when he was conducting psychoanalysis.

As everyone knows, the weaker Schiller is, the stronger Schiller is. His psychoanalysis talent would become stronger when his spirit was not good, and the Beyonder could let Bruce experience the perspective of Schiller when his mental state fell to the bottom, without having to bear the pain of mental weakness.

How could Bruce not agree?

Although he had already accepted the fact that to have such a bizarre psychoanalysis talent, one must inevitably be in a morbid state, which was not a good thing.

But then again, he had been troubled by this for so long, how could he not want to experience it?

And facts proved that empathy talent that was not morbid enough was not a talent at all. Having a perspective but not the bizarre associative ability and hallucinations brought by morbidity could not be called a psychoanalysis talent.

And what made the Beyonder feel happy was that Bruce didn't want to admit this fact, and Pride didn't want to either.

So Pride cut eight cigars here.

The Beyonder found it difficult to clearly distinguish the difference between such teaching and being in prison, but anyway, it wasn't himself who was in prison. Since there was fun to watch, why not?

So he took advantage of the time when Pride was busy pushing the wheelchair up the stairs and announced this news. If there was fun, everyone should watch it together.

So the warm scene of the founders of Battleworld gathering together appeared.

Those who could approve of the proposal of Battleworld were all fun-seekers. The spirit of fun-seekers was that they were not afraid of contributing fun themselves, nor were they afraid of watching anyone's fun. Regardless of whether they would settle scores later, they would watch the fun first.

This fun was much more interesting than they had imagined.

"I think Bruce is right," Walt took the lead and said: "If you feel that a person is in the ice and snow, then your first thought should be to find him clothes, rather than thinking about what shadows he has in his childhood. This is a normal person's train of thought, isn't it?"

"Haven't you figured it out yet?" Lucifer said: "Psychoanalysis is not something normal people can play at all. Looking at the humans who have engaged in this throughout history, which one is not a madman?"

"I think to deeply analyze a person's spirit, one needs a delicate heart," the God of Stories, Loki, said: "Analyzing others' spirits should start with empathy, not analyzing behavior."

"So just let people freeze like that?" Walt said.

"This is different," the God of Stories shook his head and said slowly: "When we meet a person who is about to freeze to death in the ice and snow, what is your reason for wanting to provide help to him?"

"Of course, it's to save him."

"Why save him?"

"Because he is our kind."

"Yes, exactly. We have sympathy for our kind. This is an emotional resonance, not a rational judgment based on logic. Otherwise, we should consider how much of our own supplies are left, and whether saving him will make us fall into a predicament."

Loki continued: "This is what I said. The psychology of helping others starts with emotional resonance, so analyzing the psychology of a person trapped in a snowfield is not a meaningless thing."

"Emotional resonance exists naturally, just like the physical rules that exist naturally in this world. It also needs physicists or mathematicians to discover and express them, so that people can better understand themselves."

Pride reached out and pinched his brow, finally pulling his attention away from Bruce, and then said: "You are right, Mr. Loki, but the feeling of cold is just an example. Greed is not some trapped person in a snowfield."

"Then what is it?" Loki picked up the coffee cup and asked with some curiosity. His voice was slow, always giving people a feeling of being sleepy, like that kind of old grandfather telling stories to his granddaughter at the beginning of a cartoon.

"This is the counter-intuitive part of psychoanalysis," Pride said: "First, you empathize that someone's mood is turning cold. His mood is turning from positive to negative, from active to passive. Your intuition is that he is encountering some bad things; he is trapped."

"And the facts are indeed so, aren't they?" the Beyonder said: "Greed did use his opening advantage to threaten the vast majority of players, but Batman and the Joker both exceeded his control, which is inevitably making people feel frustrated, right?"

Pride shook his head and said: "Yes, because feeling sad and frustrated because things don't succeed is a natural emotion, just like the formula in mathematics, which is something that originally exists in this world."

"But psychoanalysis is not to repeat this formula. Inferring his frustration from this change in mood is equivalent to writing down the formula first during the calculation process."

"Then what next?" Loki asked again.

"Of course, it's to start calculating. The first step of the conclusion I just mentioned—exposure, loneliness, and being abandoned—is equivalent to the first step of the calculation."

"Then how is this step of the conclusion derived through the formula?"

"This is exactly the difficult point. You have to be in it, carefully feel the difference in this emotion, and taste the difference between it and other categories of frustration and sadness."

"Some kind of flash of inspiration?"

"Far from it. This doesn't need any inspiration. Whispering to feel that kind of coldness is at the same difficulty level. They are all in the early empathy, just as blue lines have different depths."

"Then why can't Bruce see it?"

Pride rolled his eyes and looked at the fireplace: "I also want to know."

"Could it be because he has this visual for the first time?" Lucifer proposed a possibility.

"No, empathy ability usually doesn't need any experience. What needs to rely on accumulating experience to make judgments is behavioral analysis," Pride thought for a while and said: "I can only infer that it is because he only mastered my perspective, rather than truly possessing the organ of empathy, so in fact, he still mastered a form, rather than the core."

"What about the second step?" Walt also leaned his body forward with some curiosity. After all, in the era he lived in, psychology started not long ago, and the theories were not perfect. He had no involvement in this and had never heard of this argument.

"Obviously, the results displayed by the first step of inference are still just some negative emotions, but they have become more specific. The next step is the key point. You can choose depth or breadth."

Without waiting for others to ask, Pride continued: "You can empathize with his other emotions, such as obviously, he has some happy emotions."

"Because his first-stage plan succeeded?" Lucifer looked at Pride and asked.

Pride's profile was illuminated by the fire of the fireplace, adding a bit of mystery, just like the theories he often spoke of that ordinary people couldn't understand, but when spoken by him, it was like the most ordinary thing.

Who knew Pride shook his head again, and he said: "There is indeed some excitement that the plan succeeded, but it occupies a very small part. That is a sense of gain where the desire for control is satisfied, which is completely different from simple joy."

"That is because of what?" Bruce asked.

"I said, this kind of joy is purer. This relatively pure happiness comes from the affirmation of a simple personality, rather than satisfying any material desire. It appears particularly prominent among a series of positive emotions."

Walt seemed to have some feelings about this. He said: "Yes, although making money for the company makes me very happy, those children showing smiles because of my animation is the most fundamental motivation for me to persist in creation. I like this feeling that my happiness also brings happiness to others, which is indeed very different from the happiness I feel when I buy a new house and a new car."

"Perhaps you can talk about it specifically, sir," Pride said, and at the same time he glanced at the fireplace, then said: "This can greatly shorten the speaking time of a certain Mr. Wayne, which is of great benefit to my heart."

Walt smiled, and then said: "If I have to talk about the difference, the happiness brought by the satisfaction of material desires is very short-lived. The moment I moved into a new house, I felt happy because I could bring a better life to my relatives, and I felt happy because I had a more superior creative environment."

"But when I received sincere praise from the children, I thought they were not praising my success in the sociological sense. I mostly received this kind of praise. They flattered me, touted me, because my animation won an award, I became famous, I achieved financial freedom, and they took my legendary experience as an example."

"But the children's praise was because they were very happy after watching the animation. They recognized the content I created. They believed from the bottom of their hearts that the person who invented such an animation was very interesting. This is a continuous happiness. I feel that someone understands me, understands me as a person, not the stock of my company."

"Yes, this is a significant difference," Pride said: "When we empathize with a person's happy mood, as long as we are a little serious, we can feel the curve of the other party's happy mood."

"Some curves rise suddenly, but fall very quickly. Some curves grow slowly, but can last for a long time. This is the main basis for identifying the reason for the other party's happy mood."
