Chapter 2395: Bats Fight (V)
All three of them fell silent.
This is not a happy truth. A group of children encountered danger in a summer camp. Here they could be said to be helpless. Not to mention three children, even 30 of them could not pose any threat to the strong instructor.
Children's fear comes too easily. If the other party is a repeat offender and understands this, he will have ten thousand ways to make the children afraid to tell others what happened here. The vast majority of child molesters who are not caught in the first time escape legal sanctions through such means.
It may sound ridiculous, but they only need to make up a childish lie like if you tell anyone what happened today, a devil will crawl under your bed and eat you. Children who are under stress and shocked by their common sense will believe it and dare not say anything.
It's not that they are stupid, but that children's brains are not fully developed. According to surveys, 90% of children have the experience of not being able to distinguish between fantasy and reality during their growth. This is a necessary process for brain growth.
Once stimulated, fantasy and reality are more easily confused, and some repeat offenders will take advantage of this to distort children's common sense, making them think that perhaps this is no big deal, or they will use some non-existent illusions to scare them, and through repeated emphasis, make them believe it, thereby achieving the purpose of threatening them and making them dare not speak.
"Luckily David is here." Charles said, "If it was an ordinary person, no matter how much he fantasized, he would probably not be able to escape the clutches of the murderer."
Batwoman turned her head to look at the poisonous plant trapped in the bubble. He looked even funnier from a close distance. He didn't even have any legs. His lower body was made of coiled plants. His arms were very long and big, and his clown hat was worn crookedly.
He didn't have very concrete eyes and nose, but he had a big mouth that was opening and closing, as if he wanted to say something.
"Let me go!!" he shouted.
"Do you know anything?" Batman asked, "I think you can see that we are here to help David."
"No, I do not know."
Batwoman narrowed her eyes.
The poisonous plant was obviously trying to hide something, but perhaps because he appeared in David's childhood, his behavior was a little childish, and he would unconsciously turn his eyes away when he lied, which of course could not be hidden from the two great detectives.
"You have to tell us." Batman said, "David is in very dangerous condition now. If we don't stop him, he will definitely do something he will regret."
Batman did not choose to say anything about the dangers to the world, but started from David himself. This sentence seemed to deeply touch the poisonous plant, and he said in a staccato voice: "I'm not the first."
Batwoman and Batman looked at each other. Good, they now got more important information. David awakened his mutant abilities before he was 7 years old.
"No one can understand him." The poisonous plant said, "No one has ever understood him."
"Has he been misunderstood?" Charles asked. "Or has he been excluded? Has he been discriminated against? Because he's a mutant?"
"We often say that if you have a stance, don't be a detective." Batman said, "Any character who appears in the testimony should not have a preconceived stance, especially using your stance to compare enemies and friends. This is biased and can only show your poor judgment. Nothing else can be said."
Charles' eyes widened, he had never heard such a derogatory comment from anyone's ears.
"Have you ever been discriminated against?" Batwoman pointed out sharply, "If you have, then your assumptions about other people's positions are the same as those who discriminate against you. To put it another way, you are allowing yourself to become as stupid as they are."
Charles was very angry, but he couldn't find a reason to refute for a while. He felt too tired. If he was in a good condition, he would have the energy to tell the two Batmen what the mutants had experienced.
"I think this could have two meanings." Batman analyzed, "No one has ever really known David. Maybe from the beginning, the chances of David's original personality appearing were low. People mistook other personalities for him, which made him unable to feel his own existence."
"Or maybe David has always been there, but he has always been misunderstood because of his abilities, which makes him feel misunderstood, marginalized by society, and lonely."
"Does he want others to understand him?" Batwoman murmured to herself, "Is this the answer?"
"We have too few clues. Usually people who want others to pay attention to and understand them will do some shocking things. Perhaps we can also figure out what kind of person David is by inferring the origins of other personalities in this way."
"What do you think of David, ma'am?" Schiller asked.
"He was a very quiet child and a little dissociative. We suspected he might have Asperger's syndrome, but because he was too old when he came here, we didn't do any pathological testing on him in order to avoid irritating him," Mora replied.
"In general, he is not naughty. Except when his superpowers are out of control, he is very quiet. He will show some panic when people pay too much attention to him, and he has certain social barriers."
"So it seems that he is not a histrionic personality."
Mora shook his head and said, "No, he doesn't have any special fetish for people's gazes. He doesn't avoid them in fear, nor does he try every means to seek attention. In this respect, he behaves relatively normally."
"What about the ability to build a long-term relationship? How is your relationship with him, Doctor?" Schiller asked.
Maura sighed softly and said, "I'm sorry, I'm a geneticist. I just got a degree in sociology and psychology in graduate school. 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 did not 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 slightly and said, "Psychological intervention came too late. What about his parents? What do you think of his relationship with his parents?"
"I rarely heard David mention them." Mora said, "But once, when I was doing an experiment, I received an alarm. When I arrived at the reception hall of the research center, I found out that a family member of a child we had admitted had come to cause trouble."
"The other party's reaction was very intense. He thought his child had fully recovered and should leave. However, 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 David was there just now. He acted normal at first, but after the lady started to go crazy, he started to act strange."
"What's weird?"
Maura shook her head and said, "We can't just 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 didn't sound like what he should say at all."
"what is that?"
"World War II, the Holocaust, and some things 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 was a German Jew. David's grandfather died in the Holocaust during World War II. He was still young at the time, but he witnessed the whole thing. I guess he may have some psychological trauma."
"And she told David all this?"
"Perhaps she didn't reveal it on purpose. I don't think a mother who loves her child would describe these things to her child. But after experiencing such a serious shock, I'm afraid some things are beyond her control."
Schiller shook his pen and fell into thought.
The background story of the horde does mention that when Professor X and the horde's mother met, it was Professor X who helped the horde's mother get rid of the shadow of the past, and the two fell in love.
Schiller speculated that it might be a mistake that Professor X made when he was young. The mistake was not falling in love with Daqun's mother, but helping Daqun's mother get rid of the shadow.
From this young Charles, we can see that when Professor X was young, his method of solving this kind of problem was very crude. He would just delete memories, compile new memories, and patch up wherever there was a leak.
This support may be fine for a while, but as I said, human memory is not like building blocks. Anyone who treats tightly structured thinking as a joke will pay a heavy price, as Schiller once experienced.
If Charles could have stayed by David's mother's side and continued to patch things up, perhaps the shadow of the past could have been dispelled after decades, but the problem was that the two only dated for a few months and then parted ways. It would have been strange if there weren't problems.
What's worse is that if Charles had not intervened at the time, the woman might have chosen to see a doctor when the problem became more and more serious. However, Charles had deleted her memory. She felt pain but could not find the reason, so she naturally could not see a doctor, and the doctor could not solve the problem, which might have caused the problem to become more and more serious.
This may be one of the roots of David's problems. Schiller speculates that what is more terrible than a bad character and a bad temper is a mentally unstable parent, which will stimulate the child's self-protection mechanism prematurely and excessively. Once the self-protection mechanism is over-stimulated, it may lead to mental or personality splitting for self-protection.
In the spiritual world above Paris, Gwen Spider-Man is on the run.
She stretched out her hand and shot out a spider silk. The fibers sparkled in the sunlight, breaking through the ripples in the air and sticking firmly to the glass curtain wall of the building.
But the next second, the white pool that was firmly stuck to the glass curtain wall began to shrink and gradually turned into a dot. The fibers also began to shrink, as if being swallowed by something, and the spider silk returned to the starting point.
Gwen Spider-Man's expression gradually changed from shock to panic.
When she reappeared, she found her feet still on the ground, and the silent black-haired man appeared in front of her again.
"What the hell?!" Gwen Spider-Man raised her voice, looked at the person opposite her in horror and said, "What the hell is going on? How could he..."
"He can control time." A deep voice came from behind Gwen Spider-Man.
Gwen Spider-Man turned her head and saw a red figure with pointy ears.
