Chapter 523: Schiller Is Probably Crazy (Part 2)

Schiller, who was accustomed to this kind of nesting plan, didn't think there was any problem with his strategy, 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 from the perspective of a bystander, it looked very much like Schiller, for some reason, after learning the secret of the Egyptian pantheon's ability to resurrect believers, took the initiative to snatch the identity of Khonshu's high priest from Marc, and after reaching a deal with Khonshu, used Ammit's attack to commit suicide, personally experimenting with whether this secret of believer resurrection was 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 reveal the truth of the secret.

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

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

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

Plus, Stark and Steve had just gone through Schiller's Mind Palace, seeing his childhood memories. In this way, the logic chain 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's resurrection of believers, he didn't hesitate to commit suicide to gamble, and after the wish fell through, 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 confirming that Schiller wasn't actually dead and his soul hadn't dissipated, they had a feeling of "as I expected."

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

Death and the collapse of the spiritual pillar, 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 behavior of committing suicide to test the secret, they knew how firm Schiller's mood was to realize all this, but after he paid such a great price, no miracle appeared, and everything was like a bizarre and absurd dream.

It was like a person who built a stage with bones, used blood as a curtain, and gouged 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 was just self-deception by a madman before completely giving up hope.

It must be said that compared to Schiller's extremely outrageous nesting plan, this angle was more in line with common sense.

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

Schiller's attitude toward his set of plans was "you don't need to understand, just eat what's ready." Stark and Steve's attitude toward their own view was "I understand, I understand everything." Neither side was willing to explain, which created 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 they had an exchange outside the door, Charles also felt that Stark and Steve's statement was very reasonable.

Charles was also a psychology expert and understood the principle of human mental collapse better. Schiller's condition was 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 was that Schiller also had multiple personality disorder. It would be fine if he just split, but he split into a tower of personalities, and at the same time, he seemed to suffer from anxiety triggered by eating broccoli, bipolar disorder triggered by too many phone calls, and bipolar disorder caused by insomnia...

No one knew what kind of chemical reaction would occur after so many diseases were piled together.

Inside the room, Schiller was still struggling with Death using that 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 provides us with inspiration and opens up a brand new line of thinking, but the premise is that he must remain rational and think calmly..."

Saying this, he looked into the room. Schiller was still looking up and talking to an existence that couldn't be seen. Stark said:

"Even if he only acts as a guide and no longer has any new plans from now on, 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 achieved and were good for human civilization, he could be called a hero. Moreover, Schiller couldn't be said to be indifferent to fame and fortune; he would even pay 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 of his consciousness space. It can no longer be described as intricate. I have no way to use mandatory means, neither wanting to nor being able to."

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

"Actually, my suggestion is that normal hospitalization might be better." Charles said with some hesitation: "I am not a regular psychiatrist and have no professional 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, I didn't try to invite experts in psychology and psychiatry from all over the world to have a consultation for Schiller, and then this consultation developed into their alumni meeting and patient meeting..."

And at this time, 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 psychiatrist by self-studying for three days, right?" Steve asked.

Steve was just mocking Stark, but he didn't expect Stark to say quite seriously: "Of course I considered this method, but I'm afraid it won't work at all."

"The reason it won't work is not that I can't be self-taught, but because many of the papers and books I used for self-study were written by Schiller."

Steve slapped his forehead.

The fact was that wanting to treat the psychological problems of a psychology expert was itself a bit absurd.

Because, judging from their own theoretical level, it was impossible for them not to know they were sick, and if they knew they were sick and couldn't be cured, then the difficulty of this condition was probably beyond 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. Adding us together, there is almost no problem we can't solve." Charles shook his head and said: "But if, as you said, he wants to resurrect someone, that is exactly our knowledge and ability blind spot."

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

Schiller looked at the balance with great helplessness 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 deaths 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 exactly 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 as guarantors, what exactly are your concerns about this business?"

"If you think the split system doesn't work, then membership system is also fine. We can even not go through the membership channel of the Sanctum Sanctorum. If we conduct individual cooperation, you handle business here, and I can 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 Cyttorak and Chthon, right? Cyttorak is my old client. The business package I introduced to him can't even compare to the discount I gave you..."

Schiller holding the 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 to sit down, rested his elbows on the table, supported his chin with his hands, and kept muttering to the balance, his mouth full of words like flexible handling of packages, adding quantity without increasing price, and exclusive discounts.

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 one hand, someone was wrestling with him on the other side, which meant that Death had actually always existed by his side and hadn't left at all.

Schiller also discovered that Death just didn't want him to enter the kingdom of death, but at the same time, she couldn't bear to give up 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 press the end 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 one side here 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, not stopping until he dragged Death into the water.
