Chapter 2402: Bats Fight (V)
Chapter 2395 Battle among bats (5)
All three fell silent.
This is not a happy truth. A group of children encountered danger in a certain summer camp. Here, they can be said to be incompetent, not to mention three children, and 30 more. It is impossible to pose any threat to the strong instructor.
Children's fear comes too easily. If the other party is a habitual criminal and understands this, he will have 10,000 ways to prevent the children from telling anyone what happened here. Most of them will not be caught in the first place. Child sexual predators use such means to escape legal punishment.
It may sound ridiculous, but they even only need to make up a childish lie like if you tell what happened today, a demon will get under your bed and eat you. They are shocked by common sense and are in the right position. Children in an excited state will believe it to be true and then dare not say anything.
This is not because they are stupid, but because children’s brains are not fully developed. According to surveys, 90% of children have the experience of blurring fantasy and reality when growing up. This is a necessary process for brain growth.
Once stimulated, fantasy and reality are more likely to be confused. Some habitual criminals will take advantage of this to distort children's common sense and make them think that maybe it is no big deal, or to scare them with some non-existent illusions. Repeatedly emphasize it to make them believe it, thereby achieving the purpose of threatening them and making them afraid to speak.
"Fortunately, David is here." Charles said: "If he is an ordinary person, then no matter how much he fantasizes, he may not be able to escape the murderous hands."
Batwoman turned to look at the poisonous plant trapped in the bubble. His appearance was even more ridiculous up close. He didn't even have legs at all, his lower body was made of coiled plants, his arms were very long, and he was wearing a clown hat. Askew.
He didn't have very specific eyes or nose, but he had a big mouth that was opening and closing at the moment, as if he wanted to say something.
"Let me go!!" he shouted.
"Do you know anything?" Batman asked: "I think you should be able to tell that we are here to help David."
"No, I do not know."
Batwoman narrowed her eyes.
The poisonous plant is obviously deliberately hiding something, but perhaps because he appeared in David's childhood, his behavior is also a bit childish, and he will unconsciously turn his eyes away when he lies. Of course, this cannot be hidden from the two elders. detective.
"You have to tell us." Batman said: "David's situation is very dangerous now. If we don't stop him, he will definitely do something he will regret."
Batman did not choose to say anything about harming the world, but started from David himself. This sentence seemed to deeply touch the poisonous plant. He said intermittently: "I am not the first."
Batwoman and Batman looked at each other, good, they now got a more important information, David awakened his mutant abilities before he was 7 years old.
"No one can understand him." said the poisonous plant. "No one has ever understood him."
"Did someone misunderstand him?" Charles said, "Or did someone exclude him? Someone discriminated against him? Because he is a mutant?"
"We often say that if you have a position, don't be a detective." Batman said: "Any character who appears in the testimony should not have a preset position, especially when comparing friends and foes with your position. Being biased shows nothing but poor judgment.”
Charles' eyes widened. He had never heard such a disparaging comment from anyone.
"Have you ever been discriminated against?" Batwoman pointedly pointed out, "If you have been, then you are presupposing other people's position to do the same thing as those who discriminated against you. To say the least, you are letting it go. You become as stupid as them."
Charles was very angry, but he couldn't find a reason to refute for a while. He felt that he was too tired. If he was in good condition, he would have the energy to tell the two Batman what happened to the mutants.
"I think this may have two meanings." Batman analyzed: "No one has ever really known David. Maybe from the beginning, the chance of David's original personality appearing was not high. People mistook other personalities for him. , which makes him unable to feel his presence.”
"Or David has always been there, but he has always been misunderstood in various ways because of his abilities, which makes him feel that he is not understood, makes him feel marginalized by society, and makes him feel alone."
"Does he want people to understand him?" Batwoman murmured. "Is this the answer?"
"We have too few clues. Usually people who want others to pay attention and understand will do some shocking things. Maybe we can also figure out what kind of person David is by inferring the origin of other personalities like this."
"What kind of person do you think David is? Ma'am," Schiller asked.
"He is a very silent child, a little dissociated. We suspect that he may have Asperger's syndrome, but because he was too old when he came here, we did not perform any pathological treatment on him to prevent irritation. Test." Maura replied.
"In general, he is not naughty. Except when his super powers are out of control, he is very quiet. He will show some panic when people pay too much attention and has certain social barriers."
"So it seems that he is not a performing personality."
Mora shook his head and said, "No, he has no special habit of people's gaze. He is not very afraid to avoid it, nor will he exhaust all means to seek attention. In this respect, he behaves relatively normal."
"What about the ability to establish long-term relationships? How is your relationship with him, Doctor?" Schiller asked.
Mora sighed softly and said, "I'm sorry, I'm a geneticist. I only got a degree in sociology and psychology as a graduate student. I don't have a license and I'm not a professional."
"I provided him with a certain amount of companionship and perhaps educated him, but I didn't establish any long-term relationship with him. I was more like the one he was most familiar with among a bunch of strangers."
Schiller shook his head softly and said, "Psychological intervention came too late. What about his parents? What do you think of his relationship with his parents?"
"I rarely hear David mention them." Mora said, "But once, when I was doing an experiment, I received an alarm. I came to the reception hall of the research center and found out that a family member of a child we received here had just come to make trouble."
"The other party's reaction was very intense. He thought his child had fully recovered and should leave. As a result, his child showed mutant abilities in front of him, so he frantically accused us, saying that we did not fulfill our promise and did not turn his child into a normal person."
"The security guard told me that just now David was also there. He acted normal at first, but after the lady started to go crazy, he acted a little strange. "
"What's strange?"
Mora shook her head and said, "We can't check the surveillance at will, but when I went to find David later, he looked a little scared and kept muttering something... I don't know, it's not what he should say at all."
"What is that?"
"World War II, the Holocaust, something that happened in Germany." Mora pursed her lips and said, "I guess his mother might have told him."
"What happened to his mother?"
"David's mother is a German Jew. David's grandfather died in the Holocaust during World War II. He was still young at that time, but he witnessed the whole process. I guess he may have some psychological trauma."
"And she told David all this?"
"Maybe she didn't reveal it on purpose. I don't think a mother who loves her children would describe these things to her children, but after such a serious stimulation, I'm afraid some things are out of her control."
Schiller shook the pen and fell into thought.
The background story of the group did mention that when Professor X met the mother of the group, it was Professor X who helped the mother of the group to get rid of the shadow of the past, and the two fell in love.
Schiller guessed that it might be a mistake made by Professor X when he was young. The mistake did not refer to falling in love with the mother of the group, but to helping the mother of the group get rid of the shadow.
It can be seen from this young Charles that Professor X's method of solving such problems when he was young was very rough. Anyway, he deleted the memory, compiled new memory, and repaired the wall where there was a leak.
This may be no problem for a while, but as the saying goes, human memory is not a building block. Anyone who treats a tightly constructed mind as a joke will pay a heavy price. Schiller has experienced it deeply.
If Charles can stay with David's mother and keep patching, he may really be able to dispel the haze of the past after decades, but the problem is that the two of them only talked for a few months and then parted ways. It would be strange if there were no problems.
What's worse is that if Charles hadn't intervened at the time, the lady might have chosen to see a doctor when the problem got worse and worse, but Charles deleted her memory. She felt pain but couldn't find the reason, so she couldn't see a doctor, and the doctor couldn't solve the problem, which might cause the problem to get worse and worse.
This may be one of the roots of David's problem. Schiller speculated that what is more terrible than bad character and bad temper is mentally unstable parents, which will stimulate the child's self-protection mechanism too early and too much. Once the self-protection mechanism is over-stimulated, it may lead to mental or personality splitting for self-protection.
In the sky above Paris in the spiritual world, Gwen Spider-Man is running for her life.
She stretched out her hand and shot out a spider silk. The fiber shone in the sun, broke through the ripples of the air, and stuck steadily to the glass curtain wall of the building.
But the next second, the pool of white firmly attached to the glass curtain wall began to shrink and gradually turned into a point. The fiber also began to shrink, as if it was swallowed by something, and the spider silk returned to the starting point.
Gwen Spider-Man's expression also gradually retreated from shock to panic before.
When she reappeared, she found that her feet were still on the ground, and the silent black-haired man appeared in front of her again.
"What's going on?!" Gwen Spider-Man raised her voice and looked at the person opposite with some horror and said: "What is going on? How could he..."
"He can control time." A deep voice came from behind Gwen Spider-Man.
Gwen Spider-Man turned around and saw a red figure with pointed ears.
