[Chapter 246] Hint: For the perpetrator, he will naturally start to find various excuses to justify his crime, and finally convince himself to let go of the burden of conscience and tell himself
"He deserves to be killed." If you consider these things, it is understandable why the bad guy suddenly becomes chatty when he is always in control of the situation and can win a big victory with just a move of his fingers.
In fact, he is trying to eliminate the cognitive dissonance caused by the inconsistency between internalized morality and external behavior when he commits evil.
By constantly talking to yourself and others, you can achieve the so-called
“Cognitive dissonance resolution.” But for this man who made countless innocent people’s lives become bloody, and
"Divine Seal" sacrificed to achieve its goal
In the heart of the "Nutrient" inspector elder, killing does not feel any guilt for him, just like a person who is used to eating meat products will repent every time before eating?
The seemingly villain is actually playing a big game. There are three stages of human death: physical death, funeral, and the last time when the living person forgets himself.
Why does the villain describe his plan to the protagonist in detail? It's simple: consciously or unconsciously, he needs the protagonist to remember him. If the villain is stronger than the protagonist, then it doesn't matter if he talks more. The protagonist can't fight back anyway.
However, if the protagonist is likely to fight back, the villain must be prepared to sacrifice - he will take out the core of his soul, spirit, and thoughts and tell the truth to the protagonist.
In order to stop the villain's plan, the naive and righteous protagonist also listened very carefully and often wrote it down verbatim.
As a result, the villain's creation was completed. Even if the villain's body was destroyed, his thoughts would still remain forever in a corner of the protagonist's heart, making him immortal in another way.
If one day the protagonist encounters the same predicament as the villain, or discovers that the villain's methods are quite effective, how can we guarantee that he will not be inspired to embark on the same path as the original villain?
The battle-hardened anti-drug JC degenerates into a drug dealer, and the retired JR becomes a serial shooter, which is more terrifying than ordinary drug dealers and antisocial perverts.
No matter who is the last person who walks out of the room alive, the villain's thoughts will live on. This is the effect the villain wants to achieve.
And these ecumenisms
The "high-ups" have taken the trampling and wanton abuse of life into a matter of course. Naturally, there is no so-called pity and guilt. What is left is only the extreme pursuit of interests and selfish desires.
But if you think about it carefully, there is a flaw in the above theory. If the bad guys want to achieve
"Cognitive dissonance resolution", wouldn't it be better to adjust and resolve it silently in your mind? Why do you have to say it out loud?
This involves another mechanism in psychology: improving self-evaluation by obtaining external feedback.
In principle, there are two ways to improve self-evaluation: self-efficacy and social identity.
Both avenues force the bad guys to keep talking. To put it simply, it emphasizes
"I have what I can". For example, there is a pile of bricks in front of you, and you want to move it, but how do you know that you can move it?
According to the theory of self-efficacy, you have successfully moved bricks before, you have seen people with similar physical strength to you successfully move bricks, someone else or yourself came to the scene to analyze the top ten reasons why you can move bricks, open a Mobilization meetings for moving bricks and moving bricks in an environment you are familiar with. These factors can make you feel that you are one step closer to being an excellent brick mover.
This increase in self-efficacy can make people feel incredibly good. Bad people are also human beings, and they also have their own strengths and weaknesses, and they must follow the psychological laws common to human beings.
Trampling the majestic incarnation of justice in the eyes of everyone, the villains made their own speeches as they pleased: while looking back at themselves
"Glorious" history, while describing oneself
A "genius" strategy; bragging about his extraordinary strength while affirming the certainty of his victory - his sense of self-efficacy is almost over the top.
However, this is not enough. A one-man show is not exciting enough. There must be a supporting role or even a group of audiences to allow individuals to obtain the greatest psychological satisfaction.
The sense of social identity mentioned here actually means that people realize that they belong to a specific group and gain value and emotional meaning through their membership in the group.
At this point, for the boss in the film and television drama, when the ambition he pursues throughout his life is about to be realized, why not reveal all this series of conspiracies so that the world can know that he is the real number one villain?
This is tantamount to walking at night in brocade clothes, which is really disappointing. And this kind of self-proclaiming as the number one villain is itself a manifestation of the extreme sense of social identity.
In the eyes of this elder inspector, what he represents
"Divine Seal" is the master level
"God", even if Du Jin has the ability to make
The "Corrector" is in dire straits, but in this
In the eyes of the "God's Favored One", he is just a stronger insect, but killing an insect that is far smaller than himself
The "inferior" ants would not bring any reason for self-pleasure to the elder inspector. If it weren't for the fact that there might be something special in Du Jin's body, he would not even look at Du Jin more, but would quickly kill him. Kill and then leave. In the heart of this elder inspector, there are countless things that are more important than Du Jin.
As for the last reason, it is limited cognition: giving the bad guy a knowing blow, and the several psychological motivations described before, causing the bad guy to always fall into the chatterbox syndrome and be unable to extricate himself.
And a very important psychological concept is still quietly lurking in the grass, ready to jump out at any time and give him a fatal blow.
This is the best helper that allows the protagonist to make a comeback and counterattack every time: human beings' limited cognitive resources.
Because human cognitive resources are very limited, when we focus on doing something, information that is not within the scope of our attention may not be able to effectively enter our cognitive processing, resulting in a situation of turning a blind eye or hearing nothing. .
When the bad guy focuses on confiding in the hero who has been knocked to the ground and cannot move in order to gain self-satisfaction, he cannot notice the details of the latter's behavior, posture and emotional changes.
The clues for a counterattack were ignored. The villain died like this because of his endless chatter. It can be seen from this that the ancient rules of talking too much lead to mistakes and silence is golden, at least in movies, it plays a very important role.
But in reality, the actual controller of the central sect has no time or interest in giving Du Jin a warning and education. He has made all preparations, including through
"Cheating" to allow people to enter the simulated space they built
The "corrector" entered a certain state of stagnant consciousness, allowing Du Jin in his memory to be affected by it as well.
