Chapter 995: Battle for the High Tower (30)

Batman thought of his initial question, did he have a disease?

Batman woke up from that trance of thinking, and then looked at Shiler and asked: "... Do I have a disease?"

Shiler, who was dining, was stunned there. He slowly turned his head to look at Batman. The fork suspended in mid-air was neither raised nor put down, and just stayed there.

This question of Batman really made Shiler unable to handle it, so he continued to eat as if nothing had happened like a parent who was not confident because his child was bullied at school, and then asked: "Did someone tell you something?"

Shiler's reaction made Batman narrow his eyes. Shiler kept cutting the meat on the plate repeatedly, and gave a universal answer: "You have no problem, we are very similar."

"It seems I really have a disease." Batman said very straightforwardly. Shiler's movement stopped again and said: "If it were other students, I would let him perform a self-report of the illness, but if it were you, I wouldn't count on it."

After speaking, he put down the tableware in his hand, wiped his mouth with a napkin, looked at Batman and said: "Although I have a psychology doctor's license, I really haven't made a formal diagnosis for you, because I am really worried that after I give you the diagnosis, you will ask me the meaning of the root of the word."

Batman of course heard the sarcasm in Shiler's tone. He just wanted to open his mouth, and Shiler stretched out a hand to interrupt him, and then rubbed his eyebrows himself and opened his mouth to say: "Wait a minute, this won't work. I am a doctor, I have to have patience with the patient..."

"Well, I am a licensed psychologist, you can believe in my professional level. If you have time now, you can listen to my suggestions..."

What made Shiler somewhat unexpected was that Batman really straightened his back, leaned on the back of the chair, and was in a state of listening. Shiler shook his head and said: "You have to relax a bit. It just so happens that new roasted meat is here. We can chat while eating..."

After speaking, he directed the demons to put some roasted meat on Batman's plate. Batman picked up the tableware, but had no intention of eating at all. He kept looking at Shiler's eyes, nervous as if he were a student waiting for the test paper in the classroom.

"Don't be nervous, I am a psychologist, I won't give you a critical illness notice. In fact, I am very glad that I am making a diagnosis for you now. If it were four years ago, just the pathological analysis would have been enough to make my wrist cramp."

Shiler's tone was much more relaxed than usual, showing a kind of indifference and leisure from the inside out. He opened his mouth and said: "If you didn't show any abnormalities in your childhood, and didn't have any diagnosis, then you might not be a spectrum patient, which means you are different from me, you don't suffer from autism."

"Congenitally sound, acquired trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder is a topic that cannot be escaped. Your performance is actually already very obvious, especially the re-experience symptoms. For so many years, you have failed to get rid of the shadow of the scene in the alley."

"Secondly, it is delusional disorder. I think you should have learned the definition related to it, but this is actually inseparable from the mental stimulation you received at the beginning and the subsequent symptom manifestations."

Shiler tapped the dinner plate lightly with a fork and said: "After you received mental stimulation, you were in a lonely state for a long time. In this state, you have too many urgent things to solve, that is, your revenge plan."

"But at that time, because you were too young, there were not many actions you could put into practice, and there were too few objects to communicate with. Long-term indulgence in virtual fantasies will lead to a certain thinking inertia, thereby triggering subsequent delusional disorder."

"In delusional disorder, I think you are between persecutory delusional disorder and grandiose delusional disorder."

"First, you overestimated the malice of others and are full of inexplicable worries about extreme evil events that have not yet met the conditions to occur in reality."

"Second, you overestimated your own ability, thinking that you are energetic, sharp-minded, and omnipotent."

"Of course, to a certain extent, your worries and your confidence are reasonable, but if you exceed a certain boundary and continue to develop, it may lead to lesions in the brain and nerves, which should be what you don't want to see."

"Of course, there is also generalized anxiety disorder that is the same as mine." When Shiler said this, Batman raised an eyebrow. Shiler was like knowing what he was going to say, and opened his mouth in advance:

"You think anxiety is tachycardia, nervous tension, cold sweat, but in fact, the symptom you express most obviously is increased alertness, manifested as sensitivity to external stimuli, and prone to startle reactions."

"Of course, because your innate IQ is relatively high, the logic module suppresses emotions, so the externalization manifestation is not enough, but there are still some."

"This part of the manifestation may also be caused by personality-reality disintegration disorder, that is, the symptom of over-focusing on the surrounding environment."

"Simply put, because of delusional disorder, you often feel that some extreme evil events that do not meet the conditions may happen at any time, which will trigger your anxiety disorder, increase your alertness, and at the same time, the symptom of over-focusing on the surrounding environment caused by personality-reality disintegration disorder will make you notice every wind and grass around you, and question the reality of the environment, and then have persecutory delusions, forming a cycle..."

"And at the same time, the symptom of grandiose delusion will make you feel that you have enough ability to deal with extreme evil events in fantasy, so you will think deeply about methods to solve similar events."

"Long-term wandering in these thoughts will lead to thinking inertia and mental deviation, making the symptoms worse."

Batman was silent for a while after listening, and then said: "My willpower has been tested by the Green Lantern ring. Of course, I am not saying that is the only benchmark, but I think my willpower should be beyond ordinary people..."

"This circles back to the cognitive theory you are most interested in." Shiler answered very patiently: "If your cognition has always been wrong, then the stronger your willpower, the faster your symptoms will worsen."

"I feel that I can't experience some emotions." Batman described his symptoms as accurately as possible: "My reason is telling me that I should be happy or sad, but I don't have similar feelings, just like the car has no engine..."

Shiler paused, as if thinking, and said: "Then I take back the previous conclusion. You may indeed have some spectrum characteristics, but perhaps because of your super high IQ, you made up for the impact brought by similar symptoms, so it was not discovered in time."

"Simply put, your reason can analyze through theory and conclude what emotions the other party should be in, and what emotions you should be in, so you can express this emotion through acting, right?"

Batman recalled and said: "When I was a child, my parents let me play with other children. I thought I should become their leader, so I performed very excitedly in the chase, and performed very happily after victory, but in fact, I had no feeling at all."

"It seems that it is indeed the case." Shiler nodded and said: "Me too, but the difference is that my own emotions are weak, but I can very sensitively perceive other people's emotions. This is also why I can be a psychologist."

"Actually, if you have been able to act skillfully, then there is no need to treat autism, because the process of autism treatment is to teach you how to act like a normal person. You have been able to do this, and you have done it very well, so this is not a problem that needs to be solved urgently."

"I suggest you solve the delusional disorder that makes you nervous and abnormal for a long time first, otherwise, this may also interfere with your expression of emotions." Shiler looked at Batman and said: "Valuing the unreal and neglecting reality, it is not a problem when you have no worries, but are you really without worries?"

"Not to mention the various realistic problems that must be faced to save Gotham, the education of Aisha and Dick is a hurdle that cannot be crossed."

"You cannot always think that one day in the future, someone will harm them, or they will encounter big trouble in the future, and then deduce what you want to teach them from the results of the delusion."

"True education should focus on the present. What do they need now? What are they expressing? What kind of emotions are they passing on? Then give feedback based on these emotions and behaviors, which can help them establish a stable personality."

"If you only look at their future and do not give any feedback to the emotions they are paying, it is easy to lead to personality defects. Then no matter how many moves and techniques you teach them to deal with danger, they will eventually be destroyed by the irrational decisions brought by personality defects."

After listening to these words, Batman was silent for a long time. He thought of his parents, especially his mother.

Thomas would occasionally talk about the future with him, encouraging him to study hard, master various survival skills, and be an excellent person. However, Martha almost never discussed these with him, just responding to every tiny action of his.

【Recognize the book friends of ten years, recommend the book chasing app, huanyuanapp! It's really easy to use, driving, before going to bed, all rely on this to listen to books to pass the time, download it here.】

Batman did not know whether what he missed was these two people, or before those two gunshots, every look, expression, and action of his could get a response and understanding.

After this, there was never any again.

To a certain extent, Batman is not understood, but this is not to say that those choices he made on his own were actually understood by his friends.

Gordon understands his justice, Harvey understands his philosophy, Alfred understands his hatred, but the understanding that humans need is not only in these grand aspects. Those subtle emotional feedbacks are the most important source of security.

Batman did not make any response to these diagnoses, as if he defaulted, but Shiler felt that this was a good start, because the biggest manifestation of delusional disorder is not knowing it. If he did not refute, it just shows that he began to recover.

But at this time, Shiler opened his mouth and said: "Batman, do you know? You make me very unhappy."

Batman looked at Shiler, not knowing why he said this, and Shiler put down the tableware, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and said: "I invited you to dinner, but you didn't eat anything. Don't you think this is very impolite?"

Batman subconsciously looked at the food in his plate, and looked at General Fuxin hanging on the hook. Reason told him that it was a demon, no different from the cattle and sheep he usually ate.

However, General Fuxin was a very typical humanoid demon, so Batman felt a physiological disgust for the very obvious joint structure in the plate.

Seeing Shiler's coercive eyes, Batman was unmoved at all. Tolerating Shiler's actions was already his bottom line.

The next second, Batman was strangled by the neck. The strange demon strangled Batman's neck with his elbow. Batman struggled hard, and then was thrown heavily to the ground beside him along with the chair.

With a "bang", Batman felt that his head suffered a heavy blow, and before his vision gradually darkened, he saw the reflection of the leather shoes under the suit pants.

The last thing that appeared in his vision was Shiler who squatted down, the fork that was gradually approaching, and the meat sent into his mouth.

And the last thing he heard was Shiler's voice with a smile:

"You have eaten enough of the workers' meat. Now, come and taste the taste of the bourgeoisie that is the same as you." ===== CHAPTER 996 =====
