Chapter 1891: Tin Cans Clinking (Part 4)
"Are you a mutant?" Ultimate Iron Man asked.
"I am, but not just." Schiller shook his head slightly and explained: "My mutant ability has nothing to do with my prophetic ability. Regarding this, the leaders of the mutants have no idea."
"You told them?"
"I have the same abilities as Professor X and Magneto. I can both sense the future and manipulate molecules."
Ultimate Iron Man's eyes became more and more intense as he said, "So you are equivalent to a combination of Professor X and Magneto?"
"But they are not as powerful as the two of them." Schiller sighed and said: "I think it may be that one ability interferes with the other, causing both of my abilities to not grow to the extreme."
"I heard you and that alien prince say that you came to the universe this time to find your brother?" Ultimate Iron Man asked.
Schiller put his hands on the armrests of the chair and nodded. He continued: "He and I have the same mutant ability, but he cannot predict and is therefore more powerful in manipulating molecules."
"I think he will be helpful to the current situation." Schiller frowned slightly and said solemnly: "You can do many amazing things by breaking down objects into molecules or reconstructing them with molecules."
Needless to say, Schiller, as a scientist, the Ultimate Iron Man understands better than him what the ability to manipulate molecules means, but at the same time, he also infers that Schiller's ability in this area may have many limitations, otherwise there would be no need to come to him to control the universe. Push the engine.
Sure enough, he heard Schiller say: "I can also partially manipulate molecules, but it is limited to reorganization and repair. I cannot directly decompose objects, nor can I create things out of thin air."
The Ultimate Iron Man nodded. If this is the case, then this is just a useful healing technique. But if it can completely decompose and reconstruct objects, it will be an unimaginably powerful force. But Schiller's prophecy ability Although more metaphysical, it is in a way more powerful.
Then the best choice is to obtain Schiller's brother's perfect molecular manipulation ability and Schiller's prophecy ability.
Ultimate Iron Man made up his mind, so he changed the topic without leaving a trace. He said, "Why did your brother run away from the earth?"
Schiller shook his head and said: "He was abducted by aliens, and I have been looking for him for all these years."
"Obviously, your superhero friends don't approve of this."
Schiller pursed his lips and said, "I can understand them. There are enough uncontrolled mutants on the earth."
"Including you." Ultimate Iron Man looked at Schiller seriously and said: "Their original intention is that you are also uncontrollable, at least there is this risk."
"I said, it's not unreasonable."
"Have you ever lost control?"
"Not yet, but many mutants..."
"Then this is a crime to be punished." Ultimate Iron Man said very seriously: "I know the arguments of those who are against mutants. They call mutants bombs, but they don't want to think about why they are so weak and stupid. ”
Schiller frowned deeply. He looked at Ultimate Iron Man in shock and said, "Do you agree with letting uncontrollable mutants harm ordinary people?"
"Then why are they hurt?"
"Of course it's because of the mutants..."
"It's because they are too weak and have no sense of defense. They deserve it."
Schiller was stunned, while the Ultimate Iron Man showed a cold expression. He said: "Yes, I am a supporter of jungleism. Those who are weak deserve to be eliminated. There is no need to live in this world at all. This includes I."
"I get everything I deserve from them, just because of my strength. The morality that binds them cannot bind me, and it is also because of my strength."
"Then if there is someone stronger than you..."
"If he didn't kill me the first time, I would always become stronger than him and kill him."
Schiller leaned his body back in a retreating posture, then shook his head and said: "No, neither human beings nor human civilization can achieve endless transcendence. There is no end to the pursuit of strength, and they will eventually die from entropy."
"Then it will be more powerful than the universe." Ultra Iron Man's eyes flashed with unspeakable ambition. He said: "Become the ultimate existence standing above the universe, and become an existence that cannot be defined by any existence. For this I don’t care how many lives of the weak are sacrificed, because they are not in the same category as me.”
Schiller looked at him silently, seemingly deeply shocked, but the Ultimate Iron Man knew that he could never say in his heart that he was not attracted. Any extreme argument in this world would always appear more convincing. Because that's how humans are, they're moved by the fiery emotions behind extremes.
"Do you want to be a god?"
"God cannot define me."
"You're crazy."
"Can you say you didn't?" The Ultimate Iron Man leaned forward again, looked directly into Schiller's eyes, and said almost word for word: "You could have not put yourself in the miserable situation you are in now, no It’s so painful to stretch myself.”
"Have you ever thought that if you were not a mutant and had such powerful abilities, you would be able to get along well with everyone?"
Schiller did not answer, but the Ultimate Iron Man saw a positive answer from his face, so he said: "Give up this stupid and naive idea. If you are weak, they will abandon you. If you are strong, they will fear you. You will never be understood by those bugs. You must find your own kind."
"But you said this to me or want to express that you can understand me later, isn't it just to use me?"
"But at least I know that you are valuable. For this value, I will treat you well, instead of saying that you are a crazy person who worries about nothing, or a dangerous time bomb."
Schiller took a deep breath, turned his head, and his Adam's apple rolled up and down twice, but in the end he said nothing. The Ultimate Iron Man leaned back, his arms relaxed on the armrests and said: "People who lack emotional support always hope to get emotional feedback from others first, but you don't need these emotions at all. If emotional support can change the situation, you won't Here it is. "
"Do you think I should give up my emotions like you?"
"This is not giving up, but an evolution." The Ultimate Iron Man tilted his head and said, "Break free from the web they have woven, break the shell of social domestication for many years, learn not to seek love and recognition from any ants at your feet, and then you will find that a new world has arrived."
"You remind me of someone." Schiller looked back at the Ultimate Iron Man and said, "Magneto and I said almost the same thing."
"This is the consensus of the strong." The Ultimate Iron Man stood up with his hands on the armrests of the armchair, walked to the other side of the viewing window, looked at the nebula outside and said, "If you think I am lying to you or using you, then think about who put you in this situation today, and who made things turn around."
When the Ultimate Iron Man walked out of the room, he found Schiller sitting in front of the viewing window, staring at the nebula outside the window in silence. He turned his back and smiled on his face in the shadows.
After the Ultimate Iron Man left, Schiller also smiled, but it was shallower and less noticeable.
For psychopaths, influencing others with their own words and deeds, manipulating others to change from a spiritual level, and making others see and understand the real them is the highest recognition of their own charm and ability. This behavior will provide amazing dopamine stimulation, making them fall into a psychedelic excitement, even faster than drugs.
As we all know, in most cases, human emotions and reason are in conflict. When emotions are more intense, reason will be suppressed, and in order to maintain extreme reason, emotions must be suppressed.
Happiness and mental excitement are two completely different things. The former belongs to the category of reason. For example, if you encounter a good thing and make you feel happy, it is actually reason that makes you judge that this thing is good for you. Although it will also produce a certain degree of excitement, it is far from the level of excitement.
However, the excitement brought about by direct mental stimulation is excitement. Reasonable judgment does not participate in this process at all. Nothing good happens. It just simply stimulates the brain to obtain dopamine, and the excitement produced is excitement, just like taking drugs or hallucinations in mental patients.
When psychopaths make progress in manipulating others, although reason tells them that they have also gained benefits, the direct mental excitement caused by the great satisfaction of their instincts is inevitable.
As we all know, people have a threshold for responding to mental stimulation. In short, once they receive stimulation and enter an excited state more times, the excitement brought by the stimulation will become weaker and weaker, and the pleasure will become less and less.
This is why addicts will continue to increase the dosage of drugs, and why marijuana is still the most dangerous drug even if it does not have such a strong hallucinogenic effect - it raises the threshold of mental stimulation, making people no longer sensitive to the excitement brought by ordinary happiness in life, and can only rely on drugs, and when they are no longer sensitive to ordinary drugs, they will only get deeper and deeper.
The excitement that psychopaths get from manipulating others is no different from drugs, so although they think they are still wise and cautious, the instinct of the body to seek pleasure will make them more and more adventurous, and even completely unable to maintain the previous focused and charming appearance, and will only become more and more irritable and aggressive.
Their brains are constantly telling them that they need stronger stimulation, so they will seek more from the controlled object. If the other party cannot provide it, they will take extreme measures. If they still cannot get it, or are punished for being forced to quit because of their flaws, they will feel great pain like addicts who cannot get drugs.
In fact, this is the best way to deal with psychopaths. It’s just that most people don’t have strong enough emotional self-control to deal with this group of cunning and indifferent perverts by nature. But as long as you can persist longer than him, he will eventually be the prey driven by hunger and thirst to lose his mind and step into the trap.
Schiller knew that the wavering attitude he showed today had made the Ultimate Iron Man taste the pleasure of mental excitement brought by mental manipulation.
It is divided into two steps. First, when the Ultimate Iron Man first observed Schiller’s various reactions and words, he was actually screening victims. When he saw pain, struggle and hesitation, he regarded Schiller as the perfect prey in his mind.
But at this time he was still unsure, because he could not judge whether the decision he made was correct.
So secondly, until he showed his charm and instilled his ideas into Schiller, causing Schiller to begin to waver, there was another pleasure stimulation, that is, he really relied on his wise brain to make a correct decision, and self-affirmation would also cause excitement.
Another significant feature of mental excitement is that it comes and goes quickly. Once away from the source of stimulation, the pleasure will quickly subside, followed by a deeper emptiness.
But narcissistic psychopaths often feel that they don’t need to endure such emptiness, and they can completely take advantage of the victory and continue to advance all the way until they get the results they want, so they have no time to reflect or think, they will only pursue relentlessly, and flaws will follow.
As expected, Schiller received a call from the Ultimate Iron Man in the evening. He said on the phone: "I made a friend in the banquet hall just now. He is willing to provide me with a guest status and accommodation. I am now living in the room on the far right of your floor."
"He is the manager of an interstellar logistics company. He knows the people coming and going through the portals in various regions. I will invite him to the breakfast room tomorrow morning. I think you can talk to him about your brother. What do you think?"
After giving a positive answer, Schiller put down the phone and smiled widely. Here comes the second step of showing oneself after the indoctrination of concepts - fully showing the material value that one can provide.
