"Failed." Schiller said without raising his head, "You don't have a letter of recommendation."
With a click, a document was handed to Schiller. Schiller said without looking at it: "No way, no one's recommendation letter is useful. Your grades are really bad. Your graduation thesis , it’s already pretty good for you to graduate.”
Another piece of paper was handed over. Schiller glanced at it and found that it was a Gotham University transfer application that had been stamped several times. Schiller then raised his head and leaned back on the chair very relaxedly. He looked at Bruce, showed a proud smile, and then said, "You will never think that my resignation application was submitted earlier than you."
But Bruce didn't panic at all. He took out another document and handed it to Schiller, which was the approval notice for the intern at Arkham Psychiatric Hospital. Schiller snorted, and then said: "No matter what, I don't pass it. If we don’t accept graduate students, how can the price be still good?”
As soon as he said this, the phone rang again. Schiller stood up from behind the desk. When he passed by Bruce, he glanced at him, and then walked over to answer the phone and heard Gordon's loud voice from the other side:
"Schiller, do well! Let Bruce find something serious to do!! Let him study at your place! If he pesters Selina every day, we will lose another excellent nurse!"
"Can't he study at Victor's place?" Schiller asked.
"But his study life in the physics department is so happy! He only needs to spend two hours a day to complete his study tasks, and then spend 10 hours falling in love with Selena! Come on! Selena has two children, If she still has to spend time in a relationship, then who will do the nurse's job?"
Schiller rolled his eyes and said: "You mean, if he comes to the psychology department and the two of us torture each other, he can..."
When Schiller said this, there was a knock on the door. Schiller said "I'll hang up first" to the other end of the phone, and walked over to open the door. Mrs. Miller appeared outside the door.
After she came in, she was stunned when she saw Bruce standing here. Then, she smiled and nodded to Bruce, and then said: "Look at this kind-hearted rich man, he just provided a new hospital for our hospital." An electronic system for recording insurance information means nurses no longer have to write it by hand!”
"He is so young, smart and full of energy that he is even willing to come to an old mental hospital for an internship. Jesus, I haven't seen such a great guy in many years! Dao!
"But he..."
"God, put down your old academic thinking! Professor Schiller, we are almost overwhelmed. It is a great blessing to have someone to help. You won't refuse other people's kindness, right?"
Schiller opened his mouth. He turned around and looked Bruce up and down. Bruce showed him a fake smile that was not smiling at all. After Mrs. Miller left, Schiller looked at Bruce and asked: "... …What on earth do you want to do?”
Bruce shook his head slightly and said, "No kidding. Last night, I followed the clues and found out that the murderer of the hospital murder case was in a temporary base near the hospital. He seemed to want to make you his next target."
"I learned from him that there are many serial murderers targeting you." Bruce stared at Schiller's face, as if trying to find a flaw in his expression, and found that Schiller's expression did not change at all. , he had to ask directly: "Why do you think this is?"
"Probably because... I'm a psychologist?" Schiller walked back to the desk, sat on the chair, leaned his head on the pillow of the chair, looked diagonally upward and said: "You know? These people A perverted murderer who disdains the company of ordinary people, but likes to hide among ordinary people and see things from their perspective."
"They feel that ordinary people are stupid and slow, but they are also curious about the hearts of ordinary people. They hate mainstream views and do not want to integrate into society, but they also want to know what the public psychology and social direction are."
"In their view, psychology is a very magical subject, a subject that allows them to understand ordinary people without joining society or communicating with them. They see this as a shortcut."
Bruce frowned and asked, "In that case, shouldn't they study psychology as students?"
Schiller shook his head slightly and said: "Don't speculate on them with normal people's thinking. When they know that there is this shortcut in the world, their first reaction is not to take this shortcut themselves, but Yes, we must kill those who take this shortcut."
"As long as they can kill me, it will prove that they are stronger than me." Schiller lowered his eyes, and then looked out the window.
Bruce shook his head. He felt that this reason was too far-fetched and had many flaws.
For example, since Schiller's reputation has long been world-renowned, why are these serial murderers taking action now? Moreover, they have agreed that if they don't come, they won't come, and if they want to come, they will come together?
Thinking of this, Bruce felt that a flash of inspiration flashed through his mind. Are these serial murderers too organized?
How did the murderer of the hospital murder case know the movements of the other serial murder murderers? Is it possible that there was communication between them? How did they communicate? What is the meaning of communication?
Several questions flashed through Bruce's mind. He had no idea about the other questions for the time being, but he could answer the last question immediately. What's the point of this group of mad killers communicating? Isn't it just to show off how they kill people? Of?
Thinking of this, a surge of anger arose in Bruce's heart.
After experiencing so much, Batman knows that some people commit crimes out of necessity, and some people commit crimes on impulse. No matter what the reason for the crime, they should accept punishment, but someone should also explore the causes and stories behind the crime. .
He also understands that if the complex causes of crime are superficially interpreted as personal choices, the problem of crime cannot be solved from the root cause. If you want to solve the crime, you must first "understand" the criminal.
"Understanding" here does not mean empathizing with the criminal, but seeing the motivation behind the criminal's criminal behavior and the social problems it may represent, looking for similarities between cases, and looking more at the social level , to analyze the causes of similar cases.
But no matter what, killing people for fun must be the worst kind of criminal behavior. Behind it, there are almost no social issues worth discussing. They are just some born lunatics who use their innate evil and cruelty to hurt people. others.
Standing there, Bruce felt that his heart was heavy again. Originally, he chose to transfer back to the Psychology Department just to watch the excitement and to ensure that the group of murderers who came to Schiller would not accidentally injure ordinary people.
But now, he was somewhat glad that he had made this decision.
After Batman returned from hell, he thought deeply. He never forgot his fundamental purpose, which was to eliminate criminals.
The key to Batman's change in thinking is that he realizes that eliminating an individual criminal cannot achieve this goal.
Because crime itself is a social problem, even if some people kill passionately, the essence is that family and social education have failed to make them have good self-control abilities.
Although some people often say that society should not be blamed for everything, in fact, the personality shaping of each individual living in society is the responsibility of society. All mistakes he makes must bear the consequences himself, but this does not mean , the problem cannot be identified from the social level.
After learning various doctrines and going through various ideological struggles and tempers, Batman found a path of his own.
Since crime is not a personal choice, but a social phenomenon, he should work hard to solve possible problems in society and eliminate crime from the root.
Batman has put this into action since returning to Gotham.
For example, in terms of people's livelihood, we actively carry out building renovations to deal with the chaos caused by the poor living conditions in the slums, and build a city-wide water purification system to reduce the impact of rainwater that may contain unknown substances on Gotham citizens.
In terms of education, we strongly support technical schools. At the same time, starting from the Children's Gang, we carry out compulsory education in the direction of basic technology, and then integrate small classrooms into large schools to carry out systematic education.
In terms of employment, the age threshold for skilled workers in the Wayne Group should be relaxed and no longer obsessed with procedural justice. Children can at least learn some skills by working in factories. If they hang out with gangsters, in addition to learning all the five poisons, Nothing good comes of it.
At the same time, it also cooperated with Mayor Roy to implement his self-rescue plan for cities on the East Coast, introducing casinos from Imperial City, learning from Bludhaven's beach and tourism development, and cooperating with Chicago to establish a police training school.
So far, these plans have been going smoothly, so Bruce can have time to come over and watch Schiller's excitement.
But now, he suddenly realized a problem. If all his plans were carried out according to the ideal state, the final results would be perfect, the whole world would become what he imagined, and everyone would live the life they wanted. Can crime be completely eliminated?
Before today, Bruce felt that it should be possible.
Although crimes such as petty theft and property embezzlement may not be completely eliminated, at least vicious crimes such as murder can be eliminated, and what Batman hates most is murderers.
But at this moment, he realized that the answer might be no.
Because, in this world, there is a type of people who are "natural born killers".
They are born different from ordinary people. Their brains can receive a signal that ordinary people cannot receive. They will feel happy by killing their own kind, and they will feel addicted to it. They will get deeper and deeper into it, unable to extricate themselves.
From a probabilistic perspective, there are very, very few such people. Standing on the earth, with such a large population base, even if there are few, there are probably tens of thousands of people scattered around the world.
Can Batman stop them?
Perhaps, when the Wayne Group really controls the world, Batman can indeed use strict surveillance equipment to find them one by one, but the question is, can he prevent such people from being born?
The so-called brain lesions are just a metaphor. In fact, these people have no pathological characteristics, and there are no problems with their genes. It is foreseeable that, whether now or in the future, it is unlikely that there will be technology that can detect when a person is born. After that, is it cold-blooded?
Even if Batman's black technology allows him to determine which person is born cold and cruel, he cannot prevent a baby from being born for this reason. If this is the case, there is no need to give birth to a person with a bad temper. Now? Do people with melancholy personalities no longer need to be born?
And for such a person, from birth to growth to the more than ten years until he has the ability to kill, no one can judge whether he is such a person, and there is no way to prevent it early.
No one knows whether an ordinary kid next to him is planning to chop off his neighbor's head.
After thinking about it, Batman felt that he still had to rely on psychology.
Since there is no way to prevent this group of people from appearing, and you have to be prepared to fight them for a lifetime, it is best to keep the weapons in your own hands.
"So, what are you doing here?" Schiller asked, looking at Bruce.
Bruce seemed a little dazed, but soon he regained his focus, then looked at Schiller and said very seriously.
"I'm going to take a shortcut."
".speak English."
"I'm going back to writing my thesis."
