Chapter 2438 The Weird Bat Family (XVIII)
Batman is writing a letter to Schiller. They have been communicating about the research results of this mysterious blood. Somewhat beyond Batman's expectations, Schiller is very interested in the research results. In Batman's impression, the doctor does not seem like someone who would pay attention to such things.
At the same time, he was also writing letters to another person, Dr. Sosip, and the content of the correspondence was mainly about the investigation of Barbatos and the source of that dark energy.
Batman learned from the letter that the United States in the universe where Schiller is now located has experienced almost the most serious economic crisis in history, and the entire society is on the brink of collapse.
So Batman invited Schiller to visit his universe, but not because Batman was worried that the economic crisis would reduce Schiller's quality of life. He was mainly worried that Schiller's presence might reduce the quality of life of other people who were already having a hard time during the economic crisis.
Like those unfortunate students at Gotham University.
Batman knew that before an economic crisis there would often be signs of a crazy stock market boom. At that time, whether or not people were professionals in the financial field, everyone would like to invest money in it, including students who had some spare money.
Students are young and less able to resist stimulation. It is also difficult for them to distinguish right from wrong and understand the market. They only know that money can be gained by throwing it in. They are more likely to gamble and like to form cliques. Often, if one person invests, a group will follow. As a result, they are likely to jump together after the stock market crashes.
If at this time there was a strict teacher pressing their heads and asking them to hand in their homework, they would have no choice but to jump.
So out of consideration for the mental health of Gotham University students, Batman still sent Schiller an invitation letter, and stated that he absolutely did not want to use Schiller's professional skills for free to treat the monsters in his family.
Schiller arrived quickly, but what surprised Batman was that he didn't bring the little Robins, nor did he bring the few children who usually surrounded him, which he would usually bring.
"The economic collapse has also had some impact on Gotham." Schiller took the tea handed over by Alfred and nodded, saying, "But fortunately, the previous music festival saved a lot of income for the city. After all of it was invested in municipal affairs, the living standards of the residents did not drop too much."
"However, local medium and large companies have all run into trouble, especially the Wayne Group. Bruce had to interrupt his journey in the dark universe and come back to find a way to save the market."
"Is there any hope?" Batman asked knowingly. He knew that even the Wayne Group would be helpless in the face of such a large-scale economic collapse, unless someone without a brain fired the first shot and recreated the offshore economic power of World War II, the economy could last a little longer.
"Congress's instructions to the Wayne Group are to find a way to export a batch of arms and look for opportunities in the Middle East, Eastern Europe, and Southeast Asia. The Wayne Group's instructions to Congress are that if this trick worked, they would not have come to this point today."
"But it can last longer." Batman commented objectively.
“But it’s just about holding on a little longer.”
"He wants to solve the fundamental problem?" Batman frowned and asked, then shook his head and said, "There is no way to solve this problem at all."
"So he wants to find a new way to last longer." Schiller said ambiguously, as if Bruce had some secret plan, and Schiller either didn't know the full picture, or knew it but didn't want to say it.
Batman usually doesn't get to the bottom of things through ordinary means, so he didn't continue asking, but instead talked about the next arrangements for the Bat Family.
"We will have a camping trip in a week." Batman said, "In addition to members of the Bat Family, there will also be several special Batmen."
"I know them." Schiller nodded and said, "Are they okay?"
“It’s been a pretty fulfilling life.”
Schiller turned to look at Batman, who gave him a look that said, "You know what I mean." Schiller shook his head helplessly and said, "I guess you took a Bruce-style approach to solving the problem, and this universe really doesn't need any more Bruce."
"Of course," Batman said, "I totally agree with that, that's why I'm doing this, we don't need any more crazy Batmans."
"Then we also need to see whether you have taken effective measures to stop their madness." Schiller nodded and said, "When will I evaluate them?"
"That's too much trouble, Doctor."
"What a coincidence." Schiller looked at Batman and said, "Before you sent me that invitation letter, I just read dozens of poems praising me in my mailbox. The main content of them expressed that my poor students definitely did not want me to give them a break in the exam in this way."
"I'm similar to this?"
"No, you just skipped the eulogy, and I'm deeply sorry about that." Schiller stood up and buttoned his suit.
"I usually evaluate facts." Batman also stood up and began to contact other Batmen on his phone, asking them to come back, and then continued: "I think an accurate description of the facts is better than any unrealistic praise. To be precise, when I need a very professional psychological consultant, I usually think of you."
"Is that right? I thought you'd think of yourself first." The two of them walked upstairs together.
Arriving at the door of the study, Schiller turned around and looked at Batman and said, "I hope you are mentally prepared. They usually have various problems that cannot be solved in a short period of time, but they will still be very important characters."
"Of course, no one knows them better than I do."
The first to arrive was Batman Doom. He was too big and the study was too small, so he looked a little pitiful when he curled up in the corner. However, Schiller completely ignored all this and took some time to give Batman Doom a psychological assessment.
What surprised him was that Batman Doomsday's mental condition was healthier than he expected. He thought he would have to listen to the emotional history of Batman and Superman at least 2000 times before he could ask something deeper.
But in fact, it feels like someone has already brought out most of Batman Doom's grievances, and he has already expressed his unhappiness and vented his emotions. Apart from these grievances, Batman Doom does not have any mental state that can be called unhealthy.
The second person to arrive was Green Lantern Batman. Schiller knew that evaluating him would not be smooth, so he simply performed a psychoanalysis on him. But to his surprise, Green Lantern Batman was very cooperative, and the results of the analysis were even more unexpected.
The problem with Green Lantern Batman is that he has no fear and dares to do anything. The most fundamental reason is that due to his powerful strength, he was not disciplined by rules in his youth. He doesn't know that there is anyone in this world who can punish him, so he is naturally unscrupulous.
But now the Green Lantern Batman seems to have become a different person overnight. He began to become a little timid, and Schiller saw some signs of post-traumatic stress disorder in him.
However, apart from a bandaged hand, Schiller could not see where he was injured. But the pain and damage caused by one hand should obviously not be enough to teach this crazy teenager a lesson.
The next person to come back was the God of War Batman, and his condition also exceeded Schiller's expectations.
Because of the long-term wars in the universe where the God of War Batman lives, the problem with this Batman is mainly that he often needs to make decisive judgments on the battlefield and seize the right moment to attack, which leads to this Batman being too decisive, forming a way of thinking that is to just go when you say go, and do it first and then see the results.
As a result, Schiller discovered that Batman seemed to have reflected on this problem of his own, but in fact, this kind of thinking path dependence formed over the years is not so easy to detect.
As for the mechanical Batman, Schiller knew from his situation that the biggest problem was that the removal of the emotions of pain and fear would not make him happier, but would make him numb and empty.
However, the state displayed by the mechanical Batman is still quite fulfilling, and his emotional wounds are gradually healing, and some new reactions of pain and fear are being generated in his heart.
Schiller did some in-depth research and discovered that this should all come from Alfred. The new pain and fear created by the mechanical Batman came from the fantasy of being separated from Alfred again.
This means that he is healing himself, and it may not be long before he is able to rebuild the missing emotional modules.
Next came little Bruce. As soon as Schiller saw him, he knew that he was going crazy because of studying. His condition was no different from those college students Schiller usually saw in his final classes.
Little Bruce's mental state has always been quite healthy. He is steadily obsessed with killing every investigator, which is quite normal considering the type of job he does.
However, Schiller observed that the energy of the evil god in his body had faded a little, and Naya seemed to have no time to pay attention to him recently. This reduced little Bruce's dependence on energy. Coupled with the fulfillment of real life, he was indeed a little more energetic than his previous depressed state.
Then it was Batwoman who was conducting the call assessment, which made Schiller a little unsure, because Batwoman seemed very, very irritable, so irritable that Schiller spent more than half an hour to calm her down so that she could complete the basic test.
But before, Batwoman had been in a state of despair because of the death of her lover. She thought everything was okay and that was fine. What could make her so upset?
But for Schiller, this is good news, because patients with depressive symptoms fear the most that they will not respond to external stimuli. Once they begin to become closed and catatonic, it means that the emotional system is completely stopping working.
As long as there is still emotional feedback, it doesn’t matter what the emotion is. Continuing emotional communication with the outside world is the first step to healing.
As for the Batmobile and Batman Rex, there is nothing wrong with their mental state. Apart from being a little excited, the other two are in good mental state.
After observing for a while, Schiller found that their excited state was also well balanced and there was no danger of losing control. The only thing that was a little strange was the missing tire of the Batmobile and the big bump on Batman's head.
After leaving the study, Schiller sighed deeply, closed the door, looked at Batman and said, "Sorry, I misunderstood you. Sure enough, the real Batman would not cause trouble for me in this way. So it seems that this is a relaxing camping trip?"
Batman pretended not to hear the fierce quarrel in the Batcave prison coming from the communicator, nodded and said, "It's always like this, Doctor."
