Chapter 523: Schiller Is Probably Crazy (Part 2)

Schiller, who was already accustomed to this kind of nested plan, didn't feel that his strategy had any problems, but the only problem was that from the perspective of a bystander, it was unlikely that anyone could fully understand his series of twists and turns.

Now, looking at this plan again from the perspective of a bystander, it looks very much like Schiller, for some reason, after learning the secret that the Egyptian pantheon can resurrect believers, actively snatched the identity of Moon God Khonshu's high priest from Mark, and after reaching a deal with Khonshu, used Ammit's attack to commit suicide, personally experimenting with whether the secret of believer resurrection is true.

And after discovering it was true, he directly interrupted the process with violence, snatched the ship, killed his way into heaven, and forced the Underworld God to tell the truth about this secret.

After getting the truth, he started trying various methods to resurrect someone, and after the progress was not smooth, or rather, the wish eventually failed, he fell into madness.

It must be said that Schiller's behavior of constantly pressing the balance and shouting at the air was too much like a mentally ill patient who had been stimulated and went crazy.

Bringing in the perspective of a bystander, isn't this obviously a performance of emotional collapse and falling into some hallucinations because a wish placed with all one's heart failed to be realized, leading to the loss of spiritual support?

Plus, Stark and Steve had just gone through Schiller's Mind Palace, seeing his childhood memories. In this way, the logic chain of everything formed a closed loop.

Schiller was because of the tragedy of his childhood, so he had been trying to find a way to resurrect his parents. After learning the secret of the Egyptian pantheon resurrecting believers, he didn't hesitate to commit suicide to gamble, and after the wish failed, he finally collapsed.

To be honest, after figuring all this out, Steve and Stark even felt that Schiller's death was acceptable.

At the moment of confirming Schiller's physical death, both felt a kind of absurdity, because it came too easily, and it didn't look like Schiller's performance at all.

And when they confirmed that Schiller didn't actually die and his soul didn't dissipate, they had a feeling of "as I expected."

But when they deduced what Schiller had experienced, they felt that their worst plan actually became a better choice for Schiller.

Death and the collapse of spiritual support, which one to choose?

On this question, Steve and Stark's opinions were surprisingly consistent. They would rather die than experience this kind of disappointment and despair.

From Schiller's act of committing suicide to test the secret, they knew how determined Schiller was to realize all this, but after he paid such a high price, no miracle appeared, and everything was just a strange and absurd dream.

It's like a person who pulls bones to build a stage, uses blood as a curtain, and gouges out his heart to make a corner, not hesitating to pay the price of his life to perform a play, but in the end, it's just a madman's self-deception before completely giving up hope.

It must be said that compared to Schiller's extremely outrageous nested plan, this angle is more reasonable.

It can even be said that if you go to a normal mental hospital and analyze the illness and cause of all patients, you will find that the underlying principle of many patients with acquired mental illness is actually despair after placing too much hope.

Schiller's attitude toward his set of plans is "you don't need to understand, just eat the ready-made ones." Stark and Steve's attitude toward their own view is "I understand, I understand everything." Neither side is willing to explain, which creates a very subtle misunderstanding.

That is, Schiller was originally for profit, but everyone thought he was for emotion.

Schiller didn't explain all his plans to Charles, so he was preempted by Stark and Steve. After an exchange outside the door, Charles also felt that Stark and Steve's statement was very reasonable.

Charles is also a psychology expert and understands the principle of human mental collapse better. Schiller's condition is very typical, especially his current performance: irritable, excited, out of control, and chasing meaningless hallucinations. Isn't this typical paranoid schizophrenia?

Actually, it would be fine if it were just schizophrenia, but the problem is, Schiller also has multiple personality disorder. It would be fine if he just had multiple personalities, but he split out a tower of personalities, and at the same time, he also seems to suffer from anxiety triggered by eating broccoli, bipolar disorder triggered by too many phone calls, and bipolar disorder caused by insomnia...

No one knows what kind of chemical reaction will be produced after so many diseases are piled together.

In the room, Schiller was still struggling with Death using the balance, while outside the room, Steve held Charles's hand and said sincerely:

"Professor Charles, we can really only count on you."

Stark also sighed and said: "Not only because he is our friend, but he is also very important to human civilization. In terms of exporting civilization to the universe, no one can compare to him."

He took a deep breath and said: "More often, he is providing inspiration for us, opening up a brand-new line of thought, but the premise is that he must remain rational and think calmly..."

Saying that, he looked into the room. Schiller was still looking up and talking to an invisible existence. Stark said:

"Even if he only acts as a guide and no longer has new plans, I don't want collapse and madness to be the ending of such an unsung hero."

Charles and Steve both nodded. Their definition of Schiller was indeed an unsung hero.

Regardless of the means he used to achieve his goals, let's just say whether those goals were achieved. Since they were all achieved and were good for human civilization, he can be called a hero. Moreover, Schiller can no longer be said to be indifferent to fame and fortune; he even pays money to throw away his achievements.

But Charles still said: "First of all, I have no way to use my psychic ability to treat Schiller. You should have seen the situation in his consciousness space. It can no longer be described as complex. I have no way to use mandatory means, neither want to, nor can."

"I understand this, but I heard that you are also a world-class psychology and psychiatry expert, so can you achieve the goal from normal psychiatry?" Stark asked.

"Actually, my suggestion is that normal inpatient treatment might be better." Charles said hesitantly: "I am not a regular psychiatrist and have no work experience. I have almost no clinical experience. Such a complex case, I'm afraid..."

Stark and Steve looked at each other, and then Stark opened his mouth: "Before, it's not that I didn't try to invite world-class psychology and psychiatry experts to give Schiller a consultation, and then, this consultation developed into their alumni meeting and patient meeting..."

And just then, Steve suddenly turned to look at Stark and said: "Aren't you self-studying psychology? Can't you try to be a doctor?"

"I remember someone told me that there is nothing he can't do, so, it shouldn't be difficult to become a world-class psychiatry expert by self-studying in three days, right?" Steve asked.

Steve was just mocking Stark, but unexpectedly, Stark said quite seriously: "Of course I considered this method, but I'm afraid this won't work at all."

"The reason it won't work is not that I can't become a talent through self-study, but because many of the papers and books I use for self-study were written by Schiller."

Steve slapped his forehead.

The fact is, wanting to treat the psychological problems of a psychology expert is a bit absurd in itself.

Because, judging from their own theoretical level, it is impossible for them not to know that they are sick, and they know they are sick but have no way to cure themselves, then the difficulty of this condition is afraid to exceed anyone's imagination.

"If it were a mental problem caused by other things, perhaps we would have a way to solve the problem from the root. The combination of us almost has no problems that cannot be solved." Charles shook his head and said: "But if, as you said, he wants to resurrect someone, that happens to be our knowledge and ability blind spot."

Just as their discussion reached a deadlock, Schiller's confrontation with Death also reached a stalemate.

Schiller looked at the balance helplessly and said: "Okay, even if you don't let me into your house, shouldn't you give me a reason?"

"If you think I can provide you with more death outside, then I swear, from today on, I won't even kill a mosquito until you appear and are willing to talk to me. I'm going to turn over a new leaf! Do you hear me! Death!"

"I really don't understand..." Schiller picked up the bottom of the balance and complained to it: "Osiris is such a weak god, you are willing to make a deal with him, why can't I? Where on earth am I worse?"

"I said, if you think the contract method is too primitive, we can sign a contract! Didn't you make a deal with Mephisto? I can ask him to be the middleman. He has recently learned the human contract law."

"If you don't like that goat, finding Odin is also fine. I am also very familiar with him. With so many acquaintances to guarantee, what on earth is your concern about this business?"

"If you think the sharing system doesn't work, then the membership system is also fine. We can even not go through the Sanctum Sanctorum's membership channel. If we conduct single-person cooperation, you handle business here with me, I can fully give you an internal discount price..."

"I sincerely hope you don't treat me as a liar. I have been doing business for so many years, and my integrity is obvious to all."

"You should know Cthulhu and Chthon, right? Cthulhu is my old customer. The business package I introduced to him is not even comparable to the discount I gave you..."

Schiller holding that balance didn't look like he was doing any mysterious ritual, but rather like he was holding a sales call.

He simply found a chair and sat down, propped his elbows on the table, supported his chin with his hands, and kept muttering to the balance, his mouth full of words like flexible package handling, adding quantity without adding price, exclusive discounts, and so on.

Actually, if Death didn't respond at all, Schiller wouldn't be shameless enough to engage in sales harassment here. However, when he pressed one end of the balance with a heart, there was someone wrestling with him on the other side, which meant that Death was actually always by his side and didn't leave at all.

Schiller also discovered that Death just didn't want him to enter the Death Kingdom, but at the same time, she couldn't bear the deal with the Egyptian pantheon, so she had to follow the principle of balance judgment.

In this way, Schiller came up with a way.

When he pressed the end of the balance with the heart, if this end was successfully pressed by him, he would die because he didn't pass the judgment. If Death didn't want him to die, she had to appear and then press the end of the balance with the feather, which meant that Death had to pay attention to this place.

Thus, this balance was no longer a token for judgment, but a telephone.

Schiller pressed this side to engage in sales harassment, and Death had to press the other side, accepting this sales harassment.

After developing this new function, Schiller fully exerted the essence of a pyramid scheme leader, swearing not to stop until he dragged Death into the water.
