Chapter 1572: People Who Chase the Sun (Forty)
In the combat conference room of the main ship belonging to the Nine Kingdoms at the outpost on the edge of the Shi'ar Empire's large portal star area, Charles tapped the armrest lightly with his fingers, while everyone else was staring at him closely.
The only ones present here are human superheroes and mutant leaders. They came here to discuss how the earth should fight for its rightful place in this war.
In the middle of the meeting, Charles suddenly showed a shocked expression, hurriedly left a sentence "Something happened to Schiller's thinking tower", and fell into a state of trance.
How does this not shock and worry others?
In the next few minutes, Stark, Strange, Steve and other human superheroes who are close to Schiller are going crazy, even Magneto and Beast, who don't have much to do with Schiller The mutants also frowned deeply, no one here is not clear about the importance of Schiller.
But fortunately, everyone present trusts Professor X's ability more, and thinks that as long as he is in the mental space, there is nothing that cannot be solved, so they don't explode this kind of anxiety. If the gangster was here, he might have already killed Schiller by now.
As Charles' eyes gradually focused, Stark, who was sitting in the first seat on the right, finally couldn't help asking: "What's the matter? Professor Charles, is Schiller okay?"
"It's just a misunderstanding." Charles replied gently: "Schiller got the soul of a Zerg into his own thinking tower. I thought his spiritual world had been invaded, but everything is under his control, and he can't control it." There was no danger."
Suddenly there was a series of breaths of relief in the room, Stark almost lay down on the table regardless of his appearance, Charles smiled very apologetically, and said: "This is also the first time I know that Schiller has The monster has the habit of picking it up and keeping it as a pet, and he took the Zerg's soul back just to feed it to his pet."
"In my opinion, this is a bit shocking, but it is within the scope of understanding, so I have no position to ask him not to do it... However, there may be something more shocking than this, you should listen to it. "
The human beings in the room did not quickly focus their attention. They were still feeling scared, and there were all kinds of terrible scenes in their minds that Schiller's spiritual world was polluted.
In the end, Stark, who had the worst temper, couldn't help complaining: "Anyway, it's too dangerous for Schiller to deal with that group of bugs, so don't say silly things like 'bugs are always dangerous', bugs There are a thousand and ten thousand chances to be wrong, so much bad luck counts, but if Schiller goes wrong, there is only one chance in the whole universe."
Magneto looked at Stark with some dissatisfaction. Of course, he heard that Stark was accusing Professor X of being too dangerous in his treatment method. Strange coughed twice, trying to resolve the tense atmosphere between the two. , but in fact it is still helping Starkla.
But at this time, Charles, the protagonist of the controversy, said something amazing: "Do you know that Schiller was abused in his childhood?"
When his voice fell, a quiet needle drop could be heard in the entire room, and all the smart people present only looked at Charles but did not speak, because they could hear some subtle condemnation in Charles' tone.
It wasn't a question that required an answer, because Charles obviously knew the answer already, and the usually mild-mannered good man was already resentful enough to express his emotions in public.
"We have speculated." Stark's answer was quite conservative.
He wanted to avoid explaining this matter as if he was shirking responsibility as much as possible, so he can be said to have exhausted all his emotional intelligence and explained it extremely cautiously.
"We've looked at some of his memories showing that he had an accident in his childhood, but for some reason we didn't go into that, did he mention it to you?"
"He told me in detail about his childhood and growing up." Charles took a pen and a notebook from the table next to him, as if he wanted to write down some key information.
But Stark and Strange, who was sitting next to him, looked at each other, they didn't say anything, but Steve, who was sitting opposite them, spoke first.
"We don't ask these things, not because we don't care about him, including other special things about him, the reason why we are completely silent about it is that we don't know how to ask a person about painful experiences, but we don't. Let him be retraumatized in the process of reminiscing, it is an impossible task for us."
"Your attitude towards Schiller is very contradictory." Charles adjusted his emotions, quickly found the key point, and continued.
"On the one hand, you are infinitely overestimating his abilities, and your expectations of his level in all aspects far exceed the reasonable range of your relationship with him. It is not like friends and friends, but more like gods and believers."
"On the other hand, you underestimated his ability to bear, thought that his mental stability was inversely proportional to his genius, and regarded all aspects related to his spirit as too fragile, so you treated him with extra care, so that Please maintain the status quo.”
"Maybe it's because you don't have very professional psychological knowledge, but it's more because your own understanding of emotions is not sound enough. You have experienced mental problems yourself, and you feel that Schiller Nor can it be tolerated."
Charles put down his pen and glanced at several people in the room, and said: "But in fact, Schiller has endured more than you have experienced. He has passed through the broken period of mental instability as early as his youth. He's more stable and sound than any of you."
Then Charles began to tell other people in the room about Schiller's own experience, but his focus was not on the content of the story itself, nor on his professional judgment, but on Schiller's state when he told these things.
At the end of the story, Charles concluded: "For Schiller, this memory has no special meaning. He no longer suffers from it, and he no longer draws strength from it. There is nothing to avoid talking about, and there is nothing to write about. specially written."
"It can be said that if you inadvertently asked Schiller what your past was like, you should have known this story long ago."
Now in the huge conference room, the voice of only Charles is echoing, and everyone else is immersed in their own thoughts, most of them are thinking about the story of Schiller's past told by Charles.
After finally understanding and digesting the information, friends who were closer to Schiller began to be surprised by one thing, but before they actually asked, Charles had already answered their doubts, but he always A good teacher starts from the beginning.
"People always say, 'Suffering makes people stronger', and it's not just their fantasies. There is research evidence that people who have had more difficult life experiences have a more stable personality. External performance, which is the so-called 'maturity'."
"But there are also some people who question whether suffering is really a strong catalyst-is the maturity that suffering brings about? Maybe I prefer to call that calm external expression 'numbness'."
Charles glanced at Magneto sitting on the other side calmly, and continued: "Contrary to the intuition of most ordinary people, mental wounds are more difficult to heal than physical wounds, and time will not heal everything. Only part of the suffering will be forgotten, and what cannot be forgotten will make people get used to it."
"Like all pain, once you get used to it, it will become numb, and the pain still exists, but subjectively speaking, it is no longer as painful as it was at the beginning."
Charles flipped through the paper in his hand, and said calmly: "There are very few parts of those overly severe traumas that can be forgotten, and most of them are continuous pain, which makes people more and more numb."
"The most serious consequence of this kind of numbness is that it makes people present an overly calm external expression, as if they have already seen everything and everything in the world, and those ordinary people who don't know why This is called transparency and indifference after suffering."
"But in fact, this is a permanent scar of mental trauma. Its greatest harm is that it makes people gradually lose the ability to explore outside, showing that they are not curious, do not want, and do not care."
"People always see not fighting or grabbing as kindness and gentleness, and they don't pay attention to why they don't want it. For people who are left with permanent mental trauma, they are neither able to want it, but they are gradually dissatisfied with everything. None are interested."
Stark frowned slowly, he seemed to think of something, and Charles quickly responded to his doubts.
"Yeah, it doesn't sound like Schiller, Schiller is always interested in everything and wants everything, but have you ever thought that it may be to counter this state that his greed will Behaving more and more extreme?"
"The way the human spirit and mind work is destined that they cannot completely undo the scars left by major trauma, so they must find a way to combat this state of loss of vitality. Most patients with good prognosis of trauma disorders force themselves to pay attention. The power is transferred to something that can be invested with unlimited interest, such as faith."
"Because only by infinitely stimulating interest and always maintaining a state of exploring outside can we fight against the numbness and emptiness brought about by trauma."
"That is to say, the greedy trait in Schiller's personality as you know it is not pathological, but on the contrary, it is healthy, even the healthiest of all traits, because it ensures that Schiller always has the ability to explore. Curiosity and energy."
After being silent for a while, Strange said: "Because of the serious mental damage he has suffered, and the enemies he faces are powerful, he will naturally have to forge even more powerful weapons. That's why greed is so extreme, right? ?”
"In a way it is." Charles rubbed the paper with his fingertips, turned his head slightly to look at Magneto, sighed slightly and said, "Schiller is extremely lucky, After the best recovery period, he met a good doctor, a good doctor who is more patient and skilled than me.”
Magneto just lowered his eyelids, his deep, ravine eyes were always indifferent, and only when he looked up and saw Charles' shining blue eyes, did he seem to be indifferent? The reef, illuminated by the twilight through the ripples of the sea, reveals a little brilliance of the old wave-ridden flying boats from the coldness and depth.
"And one more thing." Charles lowered his head again and looked at the paper covered with words, and continued: "Because of autism, some of Schiller's emotions and behaviors are still abnormal, which is not obvious, except for me. No one else could see it, and that's obviously the doctor's fault."
"These surviving anomalies also just show that the doctor is an ordinary person and does not have my mind-reading ability, but it also means that I can help Schiller further and completely eliminate these anomalies."
All the humans present immediately turned their heads to stare at Charles, and Charles still spoke in a flat but quite sure tone.
"Next, I will treat Schiller according to my treatment process for autistic patients, and I have persuaded him to accept my treatment. As Schiller's friends and now his family members, what you have to do It is to cooperate with the treatment as much as possible, so as to achieve the best effect.”
"Well, okay, professor, I understand." Stark nodded, clenched his hands on the table, and looked a little nervous. He looked into Charles' eyes and said, "So where do we start?"
