Chapter 1941 U Beyond Event (Fifty-eight)

"I've seen it in horror movies before, where a psychiatrist lets patients lie on a bed and talk to them, and then hypnotizes them and makes them do all kinds of horrible things, even murder. Is this true?"

Spider-Man looked at Bruce and asked, because he remembered that when the movie played this part, Bruce once said that this personality trait called manipulation is best at hypnosis.

"Yes and no." Bruce gave a neutral answer, and then explained: "Hypnosis cannot directly control people to do something. In most cases, it is an in-depth psychological therapy, but it is more used to let patients reveal their inner secrets and relieve their mental stress."

"When people are awake, they will find it difficult to talk about many things. It doesn't mean that they intend to conceal what they have done, but the description is often inaccurate and biased."

Bruce said it very tactfully, and Lord Superman said directly: "Everyone in this world will beautify their own behavior. Some people can portray intentional murder as unintentional harm, and some people say that drug use is a treatment for diseases, but where are there so many coincidences and forced things in this world?"

"Not entirely." Bruce retorted again, he said: "Maybe when this happens, people will feel pain, regret and sadness, but the human body's self-healing mechanism is very powerful. In order to avoid pain, their self-consciousness will give them painkillers."

"There are two types of painkillers, either diluting this memory, which is commonly known as forgetting, and the other is to distort this memory, such as someone killing a person who does not resist Afterwards, he was too scared and painful, and his brain would add a period of memory to let him have a picture that the other party rushed to him first. "" In a period of time, he would know that this picture was fictional, but over time, other real memories would become blurred as this picture, so they would fuse, making people feel that this is the same It is true. "Bruce said," This situation often appears when people are young, and many children will say to their parents after returning home. Lying, but many times these things are their imagination, but they just imagine the facts that make them unable to distinguish them. " Stephen said sharply. The others all hushed, but Arthur seemed to be defending Bruce, saying, "It's very dangerous to go deep into someone else's mind. No matter who you are, flipping through someone else's memory is not as simple as flipping through a children's picture book."

"That's right." Bruce nodded, squinting his eyes slightly, thinking and hesitating for a moment, and then said, "I think it takes a very special talent to be able to do it with ease, which is the psychoanalytic talent I just mentioned."

"Checking other people's memories is not like solving a case in reality. All the information and clues you get are virtual, and you just need to find the unreasonable places in this virtual memory based on clues and distinguish between false and real. This is not only difficult, but can be called fantasy."

"It really sounds incredible." Spider-Man shook his head slightly and said, "But it's also scary that a psychologist can make patients reveal their secrets, isn't it?"

"But there is a problem. Hypnosis requires the cooperation of the other party." Bruce pointed a finger and said a relatively counterintuitive conclusion. He said, "As long as you hold the idea of ​​'I won't be hypnotized' to hypnosis, you will never be hypnotized. No matter how talented a psychologist is, it is impossible to hypnotize you when you are full of resistance."

Spider-Man seemed to be relieved and said, "That's good. If he looks into my eyes and knows what bad things I said about others in my heart, it would be terrible."

"But there is another way." Bruce changed the subject and said, "This is the only way to force hypnosis."

Several people looked at him.

"The subject of hypnosis cannot know that he is being hypnotized. You can't let him lie on the bed, close his eyes, and wait for you to speak. In this way, even a fool will know that you want to hypnotize him."

Bruce glanced at the screen again, and then said: "But there will be a problem. Hypnosis requires a stable and relaxing environment. The more depressing the environment and the more nervous the patient is, the lower the probability of success of hypnosis, and the higher the level of the psychologist required."

"So, this personality trait called manipulation is a very powerful psychologist?" Constantine asked.

Bruce immediately noticed Constantine's shift in interest. He raised one corner of his mouth slightly, but quickly restrained his expression and said, "But there is also a loophole, that is the light I mentioned before."

"But the light in this bathroom can't create a stable atmosphere, right?" Lord Superman stared at the scene on the screen carefully. He said, "Isn't it still pitch black? Will anyone really relax in such an environment?"

"No, the light is not for people to relax, but to shape cognition, or to be more precise, to shape self-cognition."

Bruce turned his head to look at Arthur and said, "People who have stage work experience or participated in filming should understand how much influence different lights have on the shaping of people's image."

Arthur tutted his lips lightly, slowly put down one leg that was resting on the other leg, stood up, moved his shoulders, raised his head, snapped his fingers at Owen, and said, "Give me a light."

Owen didn't know what to do, he could only simulate a stage spotlight and hung it on Arthur's head.

Arthur pointed a finger at the top of his head, and Owen adjusted the light to that side. Then Arthur hooked his finger upwards, and Owen adjusted the angle of the spotlight higher.

In this way, almost all of Arthur's face was bathed in light, and because the light was strong and the distance was very close, many details of his face were blurred, and even his eyes, which had been shrouded in the shadow of his brow arch, were highlighted.

Spider-Man ran to the front of the stage, took a look, exclaimed and said, "My God, you used to look about the same age as my uncle, but now you are at least 20 years younger, or in fact you are not that old."

Lord Superman also walked out of his seat, Bruce directly turned over the table in front, and Constantine stood up slowly when he saw this, so that the remaining few people walked to the opposite side of Arthur.

Now Arthur's face bathed in light not only did not look old, thin and tired as before, but looked fuller, and there was a kind of sharp handsomeness, which made him look much younger.

Then Arthur raised his finger again, Owen turned up the spotlight again, and Arthur waved his hand to the side, and the spotlight came to the top of him.

This feeling is a bit scary. There are shadows under the towering brow bone, and the eyes are completely invisible. The shadow of the nose is dragged very long below, like a sharp knife, cutting the thin lips.

This makes people look very serious and solemn, with a sense of dark solemnity, which reminds Lord Superman of Batman.

Then the spotlight slid across a small half circle and came to the side of the cheek. Now half of the face was illuminated, and the other half was in the dark. On the side covered with shadows, the lines of the cheekbones, nasolabial folds, orbicularis oris and jaw are very prominent, which strengthens the bone feeling and makes people look old.

When the spotlight came to the side and below, all the shadows of the facial features became very short, the shadows of the nose and the shadows under the brow almost disappeared, and the eyes were also seen very clearly.

But because the shadows are all turned upside down, it's like having natural eye shadow and lipstick, giving people a sense of absurdity and humor, and because it goes against common sense, there is also a kind of horror similar to the uncanny valley effect.

"When I was on the stage before, I would think about what the audience saw me like." Arthur said in a very frivolous tone: "I would check my costumes, styling and stage lighting over and over again."

"I hope so sincerely that they can feel everything I have prepared for them. I hope that every second they see me is funny, because this is the job of a clown."

"But I can't always make everyone laugh." Arthur shook his head gently, put a finger on his lips, and pressed down his lower lip hard until his gums were exposed. He kept this posture and said.

"Later I realized that they didn't laugh not because I wasn't funny enough, but because they didn't look at me at all. They didn't pay attention to me, and they didn't pay attention to anyone except themselves."

"Later I found that it's much easier to scare people than to make them happy."

This time the spotlight came to the bottom of Arthur's face, which made the shadow of his facial muscles coincide with the big smile painted on his face with oil paint. When he slightly raised his muscles and smiled, the shadow under his cheekbones spread upwards, like two sharp blades.

"Just like this, I can completely become a scary clown, and I was surprised to find that those who didn't laugh because they didn't pay attention to me before, all cast their horrified and fearful eyes on me, and they finally saw me."

Arthur raised his head slightly, and the smile grew bigger and bigger with his movements, which reminded the others present of Schiller they saw in the hallucination.

It was that weird sense of disharmony again. The clown was obviously laughing, but the smile didn't have any smile at all, and it only made people feel cold fear.

Screams, cries, and screams. Arthur opened his arms and raised his head completely, as if he was standing in the center of the stage to say goodbye to everyone. He was thoroughly enjoying this moment.

"People always look down at themselves, but they dare not look directly at their dirty souls. All they see is emptiness."

"And I just let them look up at me, turning their meaningless attention into praise due to fear, becoming part of my performance, becoming greater because it is farther away from themselves."

Suddenly the lights went out, Arthur retracted his arms, tightened his suit jacket, and tilted his head as if he had done nothing, and the tip of his leather shoes gently tapped the ground.

"Great artists have one thing in common, they will use their works to manipulate the emotions of the audience. Art, music and dance are more superficial, while some are more in-depth, such as performance."

Arthur looked past the few people and looked at the screen in the front again, looking at Bei Bat's expression and said.

"When you are in the environment chosen by the performer, enveloped by the lights he designed, hear his voice, and look at his expression, you become part of the performance and can only be manipulated by him."
