Chapter 3407 Midnight Son (Sixth)
"Breathe! Take a deep breath! Tony!"
Seeing Stark's body shaking, Schiller rushed up and turned around and shouted in the air: "Jarvis! Oxygen mask!"
Stark shook his head, held the glass curtain wall with one hand, turned around, and said, "I'm fine. I might just..."
"Just what?"
Stark took a deep breath and said, "A man with the same face as you killed me. You can't ask me to accept this so quickly."
Then he turned around for a while, spread his hands and said, "You must laugh at me again, like Steve. He has no feelings about this."
"I killed him the other one?"
"That's not. He jumped down by himself in order to save me."
"Okay, Tony. I don't know. Watching someone who looks exactly like a friend kill himself, and then another friend dies to save him. This is indeed a bit too much. I can not laugh at you this time."
Stark smiled, but seemed a little reluctant.
"Your sense of substitution is too strong," Schiller said. "Of course, it may also be because the game is too real, making you feel like you have lived another life. But that's not a bad thing. You will play better than most people."
Stark walked to the chair and sat down, his fingertips still trembled a little. He said, "Tell me what you do. This will divert some attention."
"Actually, there's nothing serious about it." Schiller walked across from him and sat down, and said, "I thought you weren't back yet, so I went to the Avengers base first and wanted to leave a note for you. But I didn't expect to see Steve and he said you were in a bad state. I came here."
"He said I was in a bad state?" Stark sneered, and then said, "He said I want to settle the score with you, right?"
"You really made a good payment with me." Schiller said after thinking about it, "I reminded me of your opinion today."
"What?"
"We are not as divided as we show," Schiller said. "Our memories are common, and what we learn is common. It's just that for some reason, we divide ourselves into various schools."
"What does it mean?" Stark asked with his body leaning forward, his forearm on the table, staring at Schiller.
"I'm a psychiatrist, right? I can treat people, but not all Schiller can do it. Don't you think this is strange?"
Stark was stunned and said, "How did you learn to cure diseases? Did you study in college?"
"Professional theoretical knowledge is of course. But it is actually mainly based on imitation of my attending doctor." Schiller said.
"Your memory is common, and there must be theoretical knowledge. Can't others imitate it? Or can't they imitate you?"
“Yes, but they don’t usually do that.”
"Why?"
"Emphasizing your own uniqueness helps keep your divisions." Schiller also placed his arm on the table and said, "Since you know that personality traits can be integrated, you will know that we will become so individual to prevent passive integration."
"Passive fusion?"
"Humans only have one brain and one processing center. The physical form of existence destined that the human spirit is aggregated. The spiritual world and personality should be complete and unified, not divided."
"The human spirit is self-healing. The mental trauma it suffers will fade over time. Even patients with separatist identity disorder tend to be personality fusion after they are out of the original stressful environment."
"So you have a tendency to integrate, too?"
"Yes at the beginning. When I first decided to exist in this way, the work was not that easy. I had to choose carefully, arrange carefully, and prevent all kinds of messes."
"The biggest mess is not that we are too broken, but that some traits cannot be separated. The way we choose is to separate only those necessary traits, emphasize the personality that traits have, and try to make it impossible to overlap with abilities and personality. This will not be easy to integrate."
"Isn't this very messy?" Stark's facial features were wrinkled together.
"Usually, there is only one personality trait to control the body, so it is not very messy. You feel messy because we are separated in the fighting world. You can see two me at the same time, so you think it's outrageous."
"But in fact, when I control my body, many personalities are taking vacations. The so-called vacation is dormant. Their characteristics will completely disappear to avoid interference with the control of the body. This is very important and can also avoid passive fusion."
Stark had a confused expression throughout the whole process. Obviously Schiller was a subject that he could not understand.
"You said I reminded you, what is that?" Stark decided to bring the topic back on track. He is not curious about the principle now, just want to know what will happen in reality.
"In fact, there is no need to keep such isolation now," Schiller said, "because we have our own bodies in the fighting world."
"Why is this?"
"Usually, most personality traits cannot control the body because they are not healthy enough."
"What's the meaning?"
"For example, the me you meet is part of the pathological part, and the pathological part is usually unable to control the body. Because they ignore the state of the body in order to obtain pleasure or achieve their goals as quickly as possible."
Stark seemed to understand a little, and he said, "That you are really crazy. He got four darts from Batman, but he didn't react."
"That's it. In the past, the body was very valuable to us. If they were given complete control, it could have catastrophic consequences. So basically, only when their characteristics were used will they be allowed to come out for a short time."
Stark suddenly realized, and said, "It's not the case now. You have that magical symbiosis, and you have their own bodies in the fighting world. And the injuries that are caused in the game will recover soon after they exit."
Schiller nodded and said, "So even if you break your body, it's nothing."
"But there is no need for integration, right? Can you make sure that the rational side dominates? If not, it would be troublesome even if you can change your body, right?"
"I didn't say that we should integrate, nor could we do it. It's just that we don't need to deliberately avoid using certain skills in order to emphasize our characteristics."
Stark was confused again.
Schiller spread his hands on the table and said, "I am a psychologist, not a university professor. To emphasize my characteristics, I usually don't use teaching skills. Although a arrogant teaching level may not be very good, out of my usual habits, I will not be a special teacher."
"Similarly, arrogance hardly performs normal psychological treatment. Even if you conduct psychological counseling, you use another set of methods. This is of course his loss."
"But if there is no need to worry about the damage to the body that fusion may bring, then there is no need to avoid the other party's skills."
"I still didn't understand," Stark said. "You said you won't fuse, but you said, don't worry about fuse damage to the body. Is it fuse or not?"
Schiller shook his head and said, "Using these skills that represent characteristics will bring about a certain fusion and at least affect each other. I'll give you a more distinctive example."
"You should be very clear about my fighting level. Overall, there is no level. What do you think is this because of it?"
"Why? Because you are too lazy to learn?"
"No, because I lack the trait of violence."
"What's the meaning?"
"You've seen him, the Moonlight Knight."
Stark suddenly realized, and he said, "That's your violent trait. Because you want to avoid using the same skills as him, you won't fight."
"To be precise, it's because there are no violent traits, so it's hard to learn to fight." Schiller said after thinking about it. "We usually say that some powerful boxers have violent factors flowing in their blood. This may not be completely scientific, but it also makes sense."
"Some people are born with a lack of violent traits. They can't do it even if they are not only disgusted with violence, but they can't do it themselves. If we use a more scientific method, it is impossible to mobilize their adrenaline in both violence and imagine the impending violence. This will not make them excited, and it will naturally be difficult to complete the violence."
"On the contrary, some people will be very excited as long as they imagine some violent behaviors. This proves that his violent traits are more obvious."
Stark nodded, and now he finally understood. He said, "You deliberately avoid violence to isolate the violent traits and prevent him from integrating with you."
"There won't be a complete fusion, but it may affect me. Because we are one person after all, and there is no real isolation."
"Once the violent traits affect me, if I do not discover it in time, as a person who controls my body, I endanger the body with certain illegal violent behaviors, it will be a big trouble."
"I understand," Stark said. "Now you have gray fog, which can be repaired even if it harms your body. So even if the violent traits affect you, it doesn't matter."
"But..." Stark said worriedly, "If you all have the freedom to use the special skills of other personality traits, will it really not be integrated?"
"I'm afraid it's difficult." Schiller said the truth, "If it could be integrated so simply, it wouldn't have been separated at the beginning. But perhaps it might have been affected by some other personality traits."
Stark became nervous again obviously. He turned his palm towards him, clenched his fists slightly, and pursed his lips.
"Tony, over the years, have you felt like you have changed?"
"Maybe," said Stark.
"Then do you think I have changed?"
Stark tilted his head and looked at Shiller, not understanding what he wanted to say.
"I haven't changed," Schiller said. "Change is a very difficult thing for me. Because it's not just the thing you know me. If you have to imagine me as a society, then social progress is always more difficult than personal progress."
"I don't like change either. Every major change in my life is not a good thing, at most it's not bad. I don't expect anything from change."
"Although you think I have compromised a lot for my friends, this still doesn't mean any change. And if I decide one day to change, will you stop me? Or support me?"
"I don't know." Stark's fist was clenched tightly, and the edges of his palm began to turn white. "I know too little about you. I don't know if the change will be in a good direction or a bad direction, or...I will lose a friend's direction forever."
"You have changed a lot, Tony. But every time you change, I don't think you will leave me."
"But we are different. You... are much more complicated than me. There may be many unexpected situations, which may be much worse than expected."
"Everyone is the same. When you make a choice, you must plan the worst. I also have times when I am unwilling but have to force myself to accept the worst possible outcome."
"But I..."
"There was about you, Tony. The only time like that. When you become the Iron Demon God, I am also ready to upgrade you and integrate the Iron Man of the universe into one, and my friends are ready to drown it."
"Really?" The water in Stark's eyes almost overflowed. When he looked over, he seemed to be looking at two shining star clusters. He said, "Are you really ready?"
"...Okay, I don't. But fortunately, you gave me a good result." Schiller said with a smile, "so I promise you that it will be a good result."
Some people question how Schiller can strengthen it
