Liao Ke asked: "You are sad for Bai Liu's sadness. You were not sad at first, right?"
The stethoscope hummed.
Liao Ke lowered his head and wrote, "You and Bai Liu are in sympathy."
The stethoscope asked: "What is empathy?"
"Compassion is because you two have similar experiences, or the other has a very different special meaning to you, which leads to the emotions of the other you can experience empathy." Liao Ke wrote on the notepad, "Spades, you know yourself Why are you sad because of Bai Liu's sadness?"
The stethoscope answered honestly: "I don't know."
"You actually lack the basis of empathy. Your experience is too blank, which makes you completely unable to imagine the feelings of another person in the scene from what you have experienced."
Liao Ke explained: “Most empathy is based on mutual understanding, but this is not true for you and Bai Liu. You don’t understand Bai Liu either. I don’t understand the mechanism of human emotions."
"So it is a strange thing to have empathy in you." Liao Ke raised his eyes, "Because of what I know about you, I think the only explanation is—"
"You instinctively feel Bai Liu's emotions."
"But correspondingly, although you feel it, you can't handle such complicated feelings." Liao Ke smiled. "For example, if Bailiu's feelings are some kind of special data, and you are a TV station. Computer, when you don’t have the ability to process this special data, the influx of this kind of data will make you have a very strange reaction."
The stethoscope asked: "What's the reaction?"
"In order to deal with this kind of special data, you will also constantly produce special data to respond to the other party." Liao Ke smiled gently, "Sometimes people fall in love with people who love themselves and hate people who hate them. This is A kind of human emotion feedback, you can feel the emotions of the other party, and correspondingly, you will also generate emotions to deal with the emotions of the other party."
"Bai Liu is sorry for you, so you will also be sad for Bai Liu."
Liao Ke continued: "But we need to look for the root of this empathy together, that is, among so many people around you, why did your instinct, or subconsciousness, choose Bai Liu instead of others to feel each other? Emotions?"
The stethoscope seemed to be thinking, drooping slightly: "Bai Liu... is different from others."
"What's the difference from others?" Liao Ke's voice was soft, "This question may be more difficult for Spades to answer. Let's exemplify the progressive relationship between Spades and you to explore why Bailiu is different."
"For example, strangers in the game pool, what is the difference between them and Bai Liu, why don't you choose to empathize with them?"
The stethoscope was silent for a long time: "These people fear me."
Liao Ke nodded his head as if understanding, "Because these people fear you, there is a natural barrier of empathy between you, and they hold you maliciously, so you will shield each other accordingly."
"In fact, normally speaking, if spades are humans who grew up in a normal environment, the first reaction to being feared by a large crowd should also be infection, subconsciously fearing and disgusting themselves, so as to be consistent with the concepts of other humans and seek one. This kind of spiritual identity avoids being isolated by the group."
"Humans are group animals and instinctively avoid loneliness, but spades are not like this."
Liao Ke looked at the rebellious god aside: "Spades should always exist in a highly excluded environment. He is used to this state. So when he is feared on a large scale, he will only feel normal and ignore the other party instead of Seek a sense of identity in this group of people who are afraid of him."
"I want to ask you rebellious, do you know the environment in which the spades were born?"
He clasped his hands silently against the tip of his nose, and paused for a while before he said: "This guy... is from the single-player game in Siren Town."
"Tavel, the former Cthulhu, became a close friend with a human being. After being forced to fall asleep, he drifted to the map of Siren Town in reality."
"From that time on, in order to punish Tavel, the new Cthulhu allowed it to drift between games in a sleepy state. It was treated as a god-level wandering NPC, beaten by players, and cut into various evils. To create a copy of the design game."
"In order to be able to go back to the human being, Tavel returned to the town of Siren where he drifted into the game copy at the beginning, and while the new Cthulhu diverted his attention to find the heir, he cut his own spirit and flesh there. "
"Tavel let his soul be trapped in the game and suffer forever, while the flesh/body turned into a human form, mixed in when a group of new people logged in, and finally logged in to the game from a small TV of a dead player."
Liao Ke realized: "Before, there was one more small TV that said that the single-player game copy of the newcomer, and it was blocked and I couldn't see the content. Is it just spades?"
Nishen snorted: "Spades were born from the mermaid body of Tavel, and when he was born, although the player and the main npc were already dead, the game was actually almost cleared."
"In other words, the residents of Siren Town have basically returned to their normal consciousness and are normal humans. They know that their tragedy was caused by the mermaid that was caught in the beginning, that is, Tavel. The spades born in Vale's body were terrified and repellent."
"... This group of townspeople tried many ways to kill spades, burn them, and cut them with knives, but because the resistance of the guy spades is too high, these things can't hurt him at all, and he doesn't feel any pain."
Nishen took a deep breath: "The spades didn't resist from start to finish, or that he didn't understand what happened, but calmly let the townspeople deal with him."
"But because the townspeople have never been able to kill the spades, their extreme fear drives these townspeople crazy."
"They lined up in front of the spades, yelling at you, a monster with twisted expressions, and then collectively cut their throats and committed suicide."
"Later, Spades searched for the bodies of these people and found the dead player's body inside. After taking his system coins, he logged into the game with blood."
Liao Ke nodded his head with understanding, then turned to look at the spades: "Spades, why don't you choose your teammate as the object of empathy? Teammates don't fear you."
The stethoscope lowered his head, as if thinking hard, and then replied: "They have no special data for me."
Liao Ke reacted and laughed: "Are you using my previous analogy, right? Your feelings for you are data, but the feelings of your teammates for you are not strong enough for you to generate special data to give back."
"This is quite normal." Liao Ke thoughtfully, "Like a stranger in normal human society, there will be a sense of distance, but your teammates' feelings for spades should be stronger than strangers. Well, you should be able to feel a little bit, and the time spent with you is so much longer than Bai Liu, why can't you give back to your teammates, but can give back to Bai Liu instead?"
The stethoscope was still for a while this time: "Because... The first time I saw Bai Liu, he smiled at me."
"I feel he wants me to hug him."
"I feel he doesn't want me to go, he wants to stay with me forever."
"Other people won't be like this. They don't fear me, but they don't want to hug me and stay with me forever."
"Only Bai Liu will produce this kind of special data for me."
Both Liao Ke and Nishen were quiet, and then Liao Ke continued to ask: "The special data Bai Liu gave you is different from the feelings given to you by other people, such as teammates, right?"
"Yeah." The stethoscope answered quickly.
Liao Ke continued to ask: "Can you compare the feelings that this special data produced by Bailiu brings to you?"
The stethoscope paused: "The first time Bai Liu saw me, he held my wrist."
"It's warm."
Liao Ke lowered his head and continued to write on the notepad, then raised his head to look at the god against God: "I'm finished asking, I believe I don't need to say, you also know where the psychological problem of spades is?"
He held his forehead against God, and sighed helplessly: "Although I guessed it in the game, when I really confirmed it, it was still a bit..."
Liao Ke smiled. He stood up and loosened the tie that helped the spades, then turned and patted the shoulder of the gods: "It's complicated, right? The first time my little daughter told me that she had a crush on someone, I That’s the mood too."
"On the one hand, I am thankful that she has grown up and has someone she likes." Liao Ke turned to look at the spades, with a smile in his eyes, "On the other hand, I was worried that this fool would like bad people."
"But fortunately, it's easy for you to get to know each other." Liao Ke suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed the antagonistic forearm, and yanked it out. "I think I will not only give spades psychological counseling, but also give you Do psychological counseling."
Nishen was caught off guard and hissed, and the hands that Liao Ke pulled out were full of bloody whip marks.
Liao Ke raised his eyes to look at Nishen: "You can lie to Bai Yi if you are not injured, but you can't lie to me as a professional. What's the matter with these lashes? Why did you bring the injuries out?"
After a rebellious pause, he withdrew his hand, and smiled slightly complaining: "What can happen? The bastard of spades suddenly went crazy when he was about to log out of the game. He took my whip and beat me suddenly. I couldn't make it so I took the injuries out of the game without reacting."
Liao Ke fixedly looked at the god of rebellion: "The injuries on your body and the injuries on the spades are a kind of whip marks, both with hooks. The whip of spades doesn't grow like this."
Nishen sat on the back of the sofa, bowed his head silently, and remained silent for a long, long time.
The blood oozing from the welts on his body hit the floor drop by drop.
