The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman

Chapter 3187 The Detective is about to die (Thirty-eight)

The only explanation Schiller could think of was that Greed deliberately used Madeline to confuse their sight. After all, Madeline's words and the subsequent series of operations were very misleading, turning their attention to the Prowler. In terms of characteristics, this may be the desired effect of greed.

But that state of madness looks artificial. Although Schiller is now an agent, he also understands the basic principles of psychology, and Madeleine looks very much like she was hypnotized.

Greed can do this in reality, but certainly not in the game. So who was hypnotized Madeleine?

A thought crossed Schiller's mind. He suddenly raised his eyes and looked back at the depths of the cave.

There happens to be a psychiatrist in the team, that is Bruce Wayne. Although he is not very good at psychoanalysis, with the support of drugs, he is more than enough to perform hypnosis.

Could it be that Bruce and Greed are a team, right? Schiller thought that there was no conclusion as to when Bruce came. If he and Greed were on the same side and the two reached some kind of agreement, it would not be impossible for Bruce to help Greed hypnotize Madeleine and use it to disrupt her vision.

Other Batmans wouldn't do such evil things, but it's hard to say that Bruce is not a real person in the game, so his moral bottom line can be lowered even lower.

The time for thinking always passes quickly. Schiller has arrived at the lake where the reeds are, but he is now on this side of the river, and the hole at the entrance of the lighthouse is on the other side.

Just then, he saw a dark figure jump down from the hole and drag a pile of metal down.

The reed seemed to have finally calmed down and was no longer as crazy as before, but some leaves tentatively stretched out towards the figure, and it was obviously well prepared, pouring gasoline and lighting it to burn itself out. Isolation zone.

The bridge was quickly completed and stretched out, and Schiller saw Batman on the opposite side waving to him.

He had indeed expected that he would come.

But he actually knew that the bridge underneath was gone, so he might also know that the clown had left the team, or maybe the two of them had just agreed.

Schiller didn't think Batman would harm him, so he walked onto the bridge and quickly came to the other side. Batman didn't say anything and went up the hole, with Schiller following behind him.

Returning to the lighthouse, they did not stop on the first floor, but went straight up the stairs.

As they walked up, they saw the bodies of the Huff family on the upper floors. Schiller asked, "Do you know what happened to them?"

"That's a story that belongs to me." Batman said.

Schiller heard that he was implying that the Hef family was actually part of the backstory he made up. No wonder this family appeared in the diary in the first place.

If he remembered correctly, the family's story seemed to begin with a lost goat.

It was they who first saw the story about goats in the diary, and then they discovered the Prowler's goat footprints at Greed's prompt. This further confirmed that the footprints were fake. Greed should have wanted to frame all of this on Batman. .

Because as soon as they find out that the diary belongs to him, everyone will think that this must be a background story he made up, and that the Prowler is also related to him, so it will be very difficult to identify himself.

"Huff was a sailor when he was young. He married his wife and gave birth to two sons and a daughter." Batman's voice echoed in the lighthouse. He said: "But later due to a shipwreck, he suffered from a strange disease. From then on, no one wanted to hire him, and the family’s income came from raising goats and grouse.”

"Not long ago, one of their goats was lost. It was said that it ran away when they took the goat out to graze. The younger daughter saw the direction in which the goat was lost, but they went there to look for it but could not find it."

"Not long after, they found the body of the goat there again. Because the family was not wealthy, they didn't want to let the goat go to waste, so they dragged it home and ate it."

"Since then, the Hef family has started to become strange. The eldest son, who was originally very gentle, began to have violent tendencies. The younger son, who is also a sailor, refused to go out anymore. The little girl, who was only six years old, kept having a fever and talking nonsense. Nonsense.”

"Then strange things began to happen in the village, and they blamed it all on the Hef family. They said that the lost goat was a devil, and the Hef family ate the devil's flesh, so they became crazy."

"They couldn't stay in the village anymore, so Hef found me and asked me to send them away."

"Can you do it?" Schiller asked.

"Yes, I can. I'm not a complete local. I have some friends outside. I considered sending them out of the village, but the weather forecast said there will be heavy snow recently, so it's obviously not a good time."

Schiller suspected that the heavy snow might have been set by Batman, but the story still did not reveal what Batman wanted to do with this background story.

"I got to know the lighthouse keeper when I first came to the village. He and I have a good relationship, and the lighthouse is big enough to accommodate a lot of people. Villagers rarely come here."

"Because the heavy snow may make the journey away from the village difficult, I persuaded Hef to come to the lighthouse to stay for a few days to avoid the wind, and it would not be too late to set off after he has recovered."

"So they're here?" Schiller asked.

He followed the timeline in his mind and felt that if the Hef family actually lived in the lighthouse for a period of time before killing each other, then the state of the bodies would be correct.

Batman, who was walking in front, nodded and said, "Yes, they settled in the lighthouse, and Hef's little daughter's condition has also improved."

Schiller asked with a thought: "How could it get better? It's not because of eating the devil goat..."

"I firmly believe that is just a superstitious statement." Batman emphasized the word "superstitious" and then said: "Other members of the family are in poor condition, maybe because their finances are too tight, Huff's The eldest son has just gotten married, which makes their family’s financial situation even worse.”

"And the younger daughter just had a common cold, but because she didn't have money to treat it, she kept putting it off, and naturally it became more and more serious."

Schiller thought about the authenticity of what Batman said. Although he didn't think Batman was the kind of person who deliberately made up a story about the death of a family for his own benefit, Schiller felt that it was not that simple.

"So what happened next? How could they..."

Batman shook his head and said, "I don't know either. I found their bodies after you. I don't know why they killed each other."

Schiller felt that Batman should not be telling lies about this part. The Huff family played an important role to him, and there was no need for him to go to great lengths to make up such a story and kill everyone in one night.

But this cannibalistic style reminded Schiller of a person.

As we all know, the only thing that is completely credible so far is what appears in the intro, and the intro just mentions that the village is called a "snow-covered lighthouse."

In other words, everyone can understand from the opening introduction that there should be a lighthouse in this village, so will anyone use this lighthouse to make a fuss about it when making up the story?

This is actually very simple. The lighthouse is on the pier. You only need to say that you came by boat. Then you will most likely appear directly at the pier after landing, and you can get to the lighthouse as quickly as possible.

As for the modus operandi, Schiller thought of a very famous case, which is also a very typical case in psychology.

A murderer breaks into a family's house and quickly takes control of everyone in the house.

At this time the murderer announced that he would punish the person who had done the most bad things in the family, and the punishment would be to receive electric shocks.

He asked everyone in the family to report to each other and tell the bad things that others had done. In the past round, the person who was reported the most often, who had done the most bad things, and who was the worst, would be reduced to the lowest level and receive electric shocks.

In order to prevent themselves from being shocked, everyone is desperately reporting on others and listing other people's shortcomings so that they can avoid punishment.

In the end, when the murderer let everyone go, they completely forgot that the murderer was the culprit of everything. Instead, they resented why their family reported them and allowed themselves to receive electric shocks, so they started killing each other.

This can be said to be the most evil and perverted case of family crime in human history. This case is actually not bloody, and it did not even cause much physical harm during the crime. It is more violent and bloody than some home invasion murders and rape cases. Much smaller.

However, its damage and destruction to the human spirit is second to none, and it is still a famous case in the fields of criminal investigation and criminal psychology.

There is a lot of psychological knowledge used by the murderer, but in fact there is only one most decisive one, and that is that electric shock is different from other punishment methods.

Many people may have heard of electroconvulsive therapy (meCT). It must be emphasized here that electroshock therapy used in the treatment of mental illness is scientific and is not abuse or torture. A sufficient physical examination must be carried out before electroshock, and Anesthesia does not cause substantial harm to the body and is almost painless.

The effect of this kind of therapy is also quite significant, and it is basically popular in the more famous psychiatric departments.

In contrast, there is another type of therapy called electroshock aversion therapy.

This type of therapy is used in the field of correcting bad behavior. That is, when the other person feels euphoria due to the bad behavior, electric current is used to make the patient feel disgust and discomfort to offset the euphoria. This can artificially create a conditioned reflex. , has been used in the fields of correction of sexual perversion, drug and alcohol addiction, obesity, anxiety and other fields.

In theory, this approach is inhumane, but there is sufficient human experimental data to prove that it is quite effective.

It can even be said that it is the most efficient method of detoxification so far. Of course, this therapy is only responsible for detoxification. Any subsequent psychological problems are not covered by the after-sales service.

And if this method is used in normal life, that is, aversion therapy is performed without euphoria, it can make humans disgusted with almost anything.

And this murderer used this method to make the family hate each other, so as to achieve the purpose of making them kill each other.

And this style of torturing Batman by testing human nature and playing with people's hearts is too much like the Joker.
