Chapter 3566
"How did you know someone was sowing discord?"
Such a message appeared on Wei En's mobile phone. Wei En knew it was sent by Brainiac.
"Inferred based on existing facts. At the same time, I saw that he was hiding something."
"You obviously know more."
"Yes, but he is a child. His psychological endurance is not that strong. There is no need to tell him some things."
"Then you can tell me."
"Tell you what?"
"What have you seen?"
"You mean, you want me to tell you: Old Shazam is worried about the recent situation of Mount Olympus, and at the same time discovered that his successor has begun to gradually get out of his control. The two anxieties that broke out at the same time made him gradually lose his mind, urgently wanting to use Shazam to do something to prove that he still has power, and to prove that his previous choice was not wrong."
"Do you also want me to tell you: the current situation of the human world he learned through Billy also makes him feel dissatisfied. Because overly strict order is not conducive to the survival of rats like him hiding behind the scenes. So he wants to repeat the old tricks, and after promoting the break between Billy and his new family, use his short but intense negative emotions to make a big fuss, to let people see the disadvantages of this order."
"And let me tell you: his target is likely the construction base of the Brainiac Center. The time for action is tomorrow night. He will use superpowers to push down the remains of the Devor Building that has been half-demolished, kill more than 10 workers who are working overtime at night, and while your control over the peripheral network is not strong enough, contact their families and form a resistance army against Brainiac?"
Brainiac was silent for a long time and replied with a string of ellipses.
"I think I can finally confirm that psychoanalysis is not magic," Brainiac replied, "Because according to my research on magic, magic is not that strong."
"I'm just speculating," Wei En said.
"Just after you told me this speculation, I conducted an investigation and analysis and found that the possibility of what you said happening is as high as 90%. Congratulations, Professor, your calculation speed exceeds 100% of the world's super artificial intelligence."
"This is not calculation," Wei En looked up at the heated discussion at the consultation site at this time. However, most of the discussion was about professional knowledge in orthopedics, and he, the psychologist, couldn't get a word in.
Idle is idle. Wei En began to analyze for Brainiac, he said: "From the fact that his successor chose a child who knows nothing, it can be seen that Old Shazam is a bully."
"Many people think that in the law of survival of the jungle, such people have a greater chance of surviving, so he is right to do so. But in fact, it is just the opposite."
"Bullying makes people lazy. Developing to the end, compared to making themselves stronger, they will be more inclined to make the weak they control weaker."
"For example, when many parents see their children grow up and achieve new achievements, they don't feel completely happy. Even compared to happiness, they are more likely to be angry, and even at all costs, they will stop the child's growth and firmly not let them become stronger."
"It is because they don't want to work hard to grow themselves, so if they want to continue to control the child, they can only make the child weaker. For them, obedience is more important than strength."
"But this has a significant disadvantage. The child becomes weaker, the parents succeed, and they will be more slack. Not only will they not progress and develop, but they will also regress. The parents become weaker, so if they want to control the child, they have to make the child weaker. The two sides cycle infinitely, and finally, they all make the family and life a mess."
"Old Shazam is like this. Something happened to Mount Olympus, his own ability became weaker, so he had to find a way to make Billy weaker, otherwise he wouldn't be able to control him."
"And the way to make Billy weaker is to not let him have a stable growth environment, let him feel that no foster home is good, and try every means to escape."
"Every day he puts his energy into fighting with his family and his own negative emotions, naturally he has no energy to improve his vision and ability. Growing only in height but not in knowledge, naturally he becomes weaker and weaker."
"Moreover, it is impossible for Old Shazam not to know that this power will affect Billy's growth and development. Not only does he not intervene, but he also desperately numbs Billy, telling him that it's nothing, letting him use it boldly. This is harming Billy's health, which will make Billy weaker."
"And, he constantly provokes Billy's emotions, making him feel that this is not good, that is not good, and finally making his heart full of negative emotions. It's as if the whole world is against him. In the critical period of personality shaping, this will make his personality unstable. Unstable personality will bring unstable spirit, which is also one of the means to weaken Billy."
"He does this consciously, the purpose is to make Billy weaker and easier to control. Some parents do this unconsciously, and the purpose is naturally to control their children."
"Don't they know that this will lead to the worst result?" Brainiac asked, "Children are their hope for the future. If they let their children make their lives a mess, will they get any benefits?"
"You have already ruled humanity, haven't you discovered it yet? Human society is a huge mental illness. If everyone could arrange their lives with the goal of obtaining benefits, then could humans still be a backward race, and would it be your turn to rule?"
"I am thinking about this problem recently," Brainiac said, "When I comprehensively contacted your race, I discovered. You are completely different from what I imagined. You are chaotic, random, and unreasonable."
"I am just an artificial intelligence, although I have wisdom, I don't have emotions. But if I had them, I think I would feel incomparably painful for ruling you."
"Because I found that everything you have developed since your birth seems to exist for the destruction of your own civilization. Including your flesh, spirit, logical thinking, and emotions, all lead to destruction."
"Rather than saying I am ruling humanity, it is better to say I am saving humanity. I don't expect you to thank me, but you don't even thank yourselves for being saved, just constantly repeating the same mistakes. It's as if I didn't let you self-destruct, it was harming you."
"Welcome to human society," Wei En said with a smile.
The consultation lasted more than four hours. Under the joint diagnosis of doctors and magicians, there was finally some result.
First, the power Billy uses is indeed some kind of radiation that will affect his growth and development. However, this is only because he is a child and failed to control this power better.
That is to say, if the person who obtained this power was an adult, there would be no negative effects. Or if the person controlling this power was smart enough, there would be no problem.
Currently, the impact of radiation has been produced, but it can be dispelled. First is to solve the impact of magic, and then cooperate with growth hormones and drugs to let Billy's growth curve return to normal.
And if this power is to be used in the future, either wait until adulthood, or it must be controlled better and more deeply.
Looking at Billy's expression, Wei En knew he should have understood. Sure enough, on the way out of the hospital, Billy wanted to take the same car as Wei En.
Wei En did not refuse, he opened the car door for Billy, let him sit in the passenger seat, and he sat in the driver's seat.
"I don't understand," Billy said, "They said it was my use of power that went wrong. I don't understand where the problem is."
"Do you really know what the problem is?"
Billy looked at him suspiciously. Wei En sighed and said: "How did your teacher tell you? You only need to reach out to the sky and shout 'Shazam!', and you can use this power?"
"Yes," Billy said, "He only told me this one way of using it."
"Then the last time your power failed, how did he explain it?"
"He said the gods don't always respond to calls. If they are busy or have something else to do, I can't use the power."
"And then you accepted it?"
Billy was a little confused, stuttering and saying: "Then... can I not accept it?"
"Assuming you are at a life-and-death crisis, and the gods suddenly don't respond to your call, what do you plan to do?"
"Then, then I can run, right?"
"What do you use to run? Use your two legs?"
"I don't know..."
"Didn't you take this question to ask your teacher?"
"He said the gods will bless me. Then I think they won't let this situation happen, right?"
"Wasn't it dangerous last time?"
Billy didn't know what to say.
"So the real problem is, you don't understand this power. Everything you know about it comes from your teacher, but your teacher also has problems he can't solve."
"Then what should I do?"
"Of course, find a way to understand it yourself. Aren't you curious about who gave you the power, why they gave you the power, and how you can better use this power?"
"I... I'm not always curious... because no one will say it even if I ask," Billy rubbed his nose and said, "And no one will accompany me to research, they will only think I am a troublemaker."
Wei En sighed, he thought in his heart: maybe this is the reason Old Shazam chose you.
At that time, because Sivana was curious, he touched the Seven Deadly Sins, and was scolded by Old Shazam and thrown out, calling him not a suitable successor. Then what else could be the standard for suitability?
Isn't it just cowardly, ignorant, and not curious?
Sivana's family was much better than Shazam's. Although his father had strict requirements for him, before the accident, he did teach him carefully and provided him with the best conditions.
This gave him knowledge and ability beyond that age group, and also gave him full curiosity and a thirst for knowledge about the world.
Even after such a big change later, he was still able to get into a prestigious school with his own ability, and even climb up where he fell. He wouldn't let him touch the Seven Deadly Sins, but he insisted on collecting the Seven Deadly Sins. He even almost succeeded.
It is not difficult to imagine that if he inherited Old Shazam's power, he would definitely play alone without Old Shazam, and it is not impossible to even go directly to the gods of Mount Olympus.
Old Shazam looking for a successor is not really wanting to retire. If he found a successor like Sivana, he would definitely be kicked away. That's why he kicked Sivana out.
And because of Billy's family situation and his own personality, he is not that smart, nor that independent, easier to manipulate than Sivana, and naturally became Old Shazam's first choice.
