The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman.

Chapter 1093 Father and Son (Twenty)

"You may feel that I am flattering you. In your life, you may have met many people who flatter you against your will."

"But you can think about it, what is the difference between me and them? I spend so much time praising you, what can I get?"

Before Schiller's question was finished, Magneto's expression showed that he was lost in thought.

After Schiller finished that sentence, his first reaction was indeed disbelief, because it sounded too much like flattery.

Moreover, it is more like flattery and flattery that misses the point, with an ironic style.

After Magneto became famous, it wasn't that there were people who asked for him, greeted him with a smile and flattered him.

However, the main aspect of this group of people's praise is Magneto's powerful power, and this kind of praise is the least error-prone.

This group of people had done a lot of homework before coming into contact with Magneto, and they knew that if they praised Magneto's temper and character, it would sound too much like sarcasm.

The whole world knows that Magneto has a bad temper and is a terrorist, but you still have to go to his ears and say, I really appreciate your character, isn't this courting death?
Therefore, this was almost the first time Magneto heard that someone appreciated his charisma, so at that moment, his first reaction was to not believe it.

If this is just Schiller's instinct, then he is really noble and terrible. If this is the special courtesy of Magneto, then what can he do?
Could it be that Schiller really has a different view of Magneto from ordinary people?Really don't think Magneto is an annoying, unapproachable person?
Could it be that Schiller truly believes that an act of kindness that goes the extra mile will be rewarded?
Magneto let out a long sigh. Before this, no one had ever heard Magneto sigh. He was always indifferent, serious, and astonishingly powerful.

"Eric, the tea is getting cold, drink it quickly."

And the more confident you are in yourself, the more you can use the mutant ability like your arms and fingers, and the more you can use it superbly, and the powerful king of magnetism is obviously the latter.

In fact, Magneto had the ability to control the teacup to splash water, pouring tea on Schiller's face.

Magneto looked at Schiller's eyes, narrowed his eyes slowly, and then said in a slightly weird tone, "It seems that this is not the first time you have done this, doctor."

What puzzled Magneto was that Schiller did this on purpose. He deliberately handed Magneto a step to change the subject, instead of forcing Magneto to take a new step with his carefully arranged language trap. .

Magneto has never been a person with low self-esteem, or in other words, he has been so arrogant that he thinks he can control everything in the universe.

And if he wants to go against the public opinion, he has to feel that he is worthy of liking and praise, then his point of view will be consistent with Schiller's point of view, that is to say, he must accept Schiller's praise and admit that he is worthy of praise. Your goodwill is not out of interest, but from the heart.

At this time, Schiller said again: "Perhaps, the answer is simpler than you imagined. This has nothing to do with your own personality, emotions, or IQ. Is it possible that it is just because of the 'herd mentality'?"

At this time, Magneto hadn't understood the key, but Schiller explained in a timely manner:

Before, Schiller described him as a defeated dog kicked out of the earth, so he controlled the teacup and pressed it against Schiller's forehead.

As soon as he thought of this, Magneto discovered that Schiller had dug a trap for him with so many steps in the foreshadowing.

It is not necessary for a person of sufficient ability to gain a social advantage.

Mutants' control over their abilities is sometimes idealistic, that is to say, the more they feel that their abilities will get out of control, the easier it is for them to get out of control.

After realizing that the influence of personality and rational judgment were not enough to cause him to resist, Magneto also began to think about why he felt it.Isn't Schiller really praising him?

Before Schiller's question was asked, Magneto's analysis method began to change from intuition to rational thinking. He was originally a more rational person, and he preferred to use logical judgments for any reaction from anyone.

Magneto didn't pay any attention to the water glass, his eyes were fixed on Schiller, because Schiller's reaction was beyond his expectation.

Or let the teacup stay still, even if Schiller touches it with his hands or pulls it hard, it will not move half a minute.

"When the people around you say 'no', the individual will be more inclined to 'no'. When the people around you have a bad opinion of something, even if you haven't practiced it yourself, there is a greater probability that you will Make a negative comment on the matter."

Every question Schiller asked was in his heart, and he himself felt puzzled, so he didn't realize that he was following Schiller's thinking.

"People don't like to act different from everyone else, it's not that they don't have personality, it's just that their instinct is that where the vast majority of people go, it's less dangerous."

But Schiller did nothing, just waited quietly until the calm water surface gave him a signal, and then took the next step with an extremely cautious attitude.

"So. After your reason has come to this conclusion, you are still resisting to believe that I sincerely praise you. What is the reason?"

Schiller asked one question after another, so that Magneto didn't even have time to care about whether he had lost control of the topic.

Magneto's expression froze instantly. It was the first time he heard someone say that he was standing with the public, and then he sneered and said, "...this joke is not funny at all."

At this time, Magneto thought again, why didn't Schiller move when he put the teacup on Schiller's forehead?
Magneto does not feel that Schiller is incapable of resolving this crisis with a more elegant posture.

"Do you think that you are an unconventional person who is not in the same class as ordinary people?" Schiller asked again.

"It's not because you have low self-esteem, nor is it because you are suspicious, it's just because you accept the views of the majority and stand with the public."

Of course, Schiller may want to use the powerful power of Magneto again, but Magneto knows that if Schiller uses the previous transaction method, that is, to give overall benefits to the Mutant Brotherhood and Mutants, to hire Magneto Gang Not only is it easier for him to do things, but he doesn't need to let go of his dignity.

If you will not rely on your strength to disrespect Me, I will naturally not persecute you because of my victory with words.

"However, your rationality is telling you that if I want to benefit from you, I don't have to come and speak nicely to you. I have a faster and less labor-intensive method."

Why should Schiller be so polite to a terrorist?

A person who tends to be rational and logical has been pursuing the exact answer in the logical link all his life, and the same is true for Magneto. If there is a joint that has not been figured out, he will think repeatedly and ignore the others.

"I know. You don't believe it. I praise you sincerely, but have you ever thought about why you don't believe other people's praise? Is this the nature that human beings should have?"

He just picked up the water glass in front of him, took a sip and said:

Magneto began to circle a question in his mind. There was no need for Schiller to do this, so why did he do this?

Whichever path Magneto chooses, he will have to take a step he has never taken before.

Schiller obviously belongs to this kind of person. He can use his own plan to make everyone follow his arrangement, so there is no need to greet anyone with a smile, but he just praised Magneto.

It doesn't do any psychological harm to Magneto, it just makes him look like an idiot who failed to detect the language trap and fell inadvertently.

It wouldn't do Schiller any harm, it would just embarrass Schiller, but he chose not to.

Magneto also thought that since Schiller entered the room, he had never put the things he was carrying on any surface other than the ground. This kind of action was obviously only possible by restraining ordinary social instincts.

But to Magneto's surprise, Schiller didn't stare at him silently like before, forcing him to give an answer.

"The mentality of the crowd..." Magneto read these terms lightly, but they are actually just literal meanings, and there is nothing to understand deeply.

"Of course, there will be some people who have no confidence in themselves, feel that other people's praise is false, and feel that they are not that good, but I don't think you are such a person, you have absolute confidence in your ability, Otherwise, such a strong control will never be achieved."

If Magneto is really a person who is good at integrating into the society of ordinary people, he will not stay alone in the Andromeda galaxy now.

Although Magneto is still more inclined to disbelief, he has already been shaken, and at this time, Schiller went on to say:

If he said that he is an unlikable person who is not worthy of being sincerely praised by others, it means that his views are consistent with the public, and the most hated by Magneto in his life is the group of ordinary people, he would rather I don't want to be with this group of people even if I die.

Although Magneto was silent and did not answer, his eyes already said everything.

This made Magneto even more confused about Schiller's goal. It was clearly a good time to break through his psychological defense just now, and the tip of the knife was already on his forehead, so why did he retract it?

From a logical point of view, however, the matter is even stranger.

This sentence is not only a step, but also a ringtone when the correct answer is announced.

But for a person who is so confident and even arrogant, when faced with compliments from others, his first reaction is still disbelief, which obviously has some problems.

"Of course, you may also suspect that I am plotting something wrong. This kind of reaction may also come from your suspicion."

Magneto has never sincerely accepted the praise of others in his life, nor has he acknowledged the kindness of others.

And when Schiller controlled a sharp knife forged with language and pressed it against Magneto's head, he could obviously keep asking for an answer and force Magneto to make a choice.

What Schiller said is actually equivalent to eradicating the trap himself. Magneto can use this to change the topic instead of having to make the dilemma just now.

At this point, Magneto discovered that, from the moment he entered the door, Schiller did not make any actions or words that were superfluous, including what he said just now, "The tea is cold, drink it quickly."

Suddenly, Magneto froze for a moment, he turned his attention to the teacup, and thought of the action he had just done.

"This is actually not a weakness of human nature, but a by-product of the process of human beings' continuous self-domestication and collective consciousness since the establishment of the social society."

Schiller has no need to praise him, and Schiller will not get any extra benefits from flattery.

Magneto tapped the wall of the cup with his fingertips, and slowly stopped, even though he didn't answer, he knew it.What Schiller said was true.

Magneto just fell into thinking, and before he came up with an answer, Schiller asked himself and answered: "Of course not, human beings are happy with other people's praise, this is human nature."

"And it fell on you, in fact, except for me, very few people have praised you sincerely. My point of view is contrary to the public's point of view, and you have already accepted the public's point of view, so when I When this objection is raised, your first reaction is to not accept it."

But when Schiller picked up the teacup and took a sip of the tea, the tea was no longer as bitter as it was before when it was slightly cold. On the contrary, it was heated to a temperature just suitable for drinking.

When the white mist rose, the fragrance of tea wafted into the room, and Schiller gently raised the teacup at Magneto.

He seemed to have prepared something to say a long time ago, but when he opened his mouth, he lowered his head and said rather reservedly:

"Just because you like old wine doesn't mean you don't like new tea, does it?"
