Chapter 315

Liao Ke asked: "You are feeling sad for Bai Liu's sadness. You are not actually sad, are you?"

The diagnoser hummed.

Liao Ke bowed his head and wrote: "You have empathized with Bai Liu."

The diagnoser asks: "What is empathy?"

"Empathy is because the experiences of the two of you are similar, or the other party has a very different special meaning to you, which causes you to experience the other party's emotions with empathy." Liao Ke wrote in his notepad, "Spades, do you know why you feel sad because of Bai Liu's sadness?"

The diagnoser answered honestly: "I know."

"You actually lack the basis of empathy, and your experience is too blank, which makes it impossible for you to start from your own experience to imagine the feelings of another person in that scene."

Liao Ke explained: "Most empathy is based on mutual understanding, but this is also true between you and Bai Liu. Understand, you don’t even understand the mechanism of human emotion.”

"So it's a strange thing to have empathy on you." Liao Ke raised his eyes, "From what I know about you, I think the only explanation is-"

"You are actually feeling Bai Liu's emotions."

"But correspondingly, although you feel it, you still have a way to deal with such complicated feelings." Liao Ke smiled, "For example, Bai Liu's feelings are some kind of special data, And you are a computer, and as long as you still have the ability to process this special data, this influx of data will make you have very strange reactions.”

The diagnoser asked, "What's the reaction?"

"In order to process this kind of special data, you will also stop producing special data to respond to the other party." Liao Ke smiled gently, "Sometimes people will fall in love with those who love themselves, and hate those who hate themselves. It is a kind of human emotional feedback, you feel the other person’s emotions, and correspondingly, you will also generate emotions to deal with the other person’s emotions.”

"Bai Liu is sad for you, so you will be sad for Bai Liu."

Liao Ke continued: "But the root of this kind of empathy needs us to find together, that is, among so many people around you in spades, why did your instinct or subconsciousness choose the white willow instead of others? people to feel each other's emotions?"

The diagnoser seems to be thinking, drooping slightly: "Bai Liu...is the same as everyone else."

"What's the same with others?" Liao Ke's voice was very soft, "This question may be difficult for Spade to answer, let's use the progressive relationship around you to find out why Bai Liu is here. Same."

"For example, the strangers in the game pool, what do they have to you like Bai Liu, why do you choose to empathize with them?"

The diagnoser was silent for a long time: "These people fear me."

Liao Ke nodded with a sense of understanding, expressing his understanding: "Because these people fear you, there is a natural barrier of empathy between you. They have malice towards you, so you will shield each other accordingly."

"In fact, normally speaking, ‌‌ spades are humans who grew up in a normal environment. The first reaction to being feared by large-scale crowds should be to be infected. Subconsciously fear and loathe themselves, so as to be consistent with other human beings. Seek a sense of spiritual identity and avoid being isolated by the group.”

"People are group animals, and they will avoid loneliness by nature, but this is the case with spades."

Liao Ke looked at Nishen at the side: "Spades should always exist in a highly repelled environment. He is used to this state, so when he is frightened on a large scale, he will only feel normal and ignore the other party, while  It is to seek a sense of identity from this group of people who are afraid of him."

"I want to ask you against God, do you know the birth environment of Spade?"

Nishen silently clasped his hands to the tip of his nose, paused for a while, and then said, "This spade guy...logged into the system from the single-player game in Siren Town."

"Tavier, the former evil god, became close friends with a human being. After being forced to sleep and fell, he drifted to the real map of Siren Town."

"From that time on, in order to punish Tavel, the new evil god let it drift in a state of sleep between various games, was treated as a god-level wandering NPC, was beaten by players, and was cut into various Such an evil source to make copies of design games."

"In order to go back to find that human again, Tavel returned to the town of Sirens where he drifted into the game copy at the beginning, and while the new evil god diverted his attention to find the heir, he cut his soul there. Meat."

"Tavier let his soul be trapped in the game to suffer forever, and his body/body turned into a human appearance, mixed in when a group of newcomers logged in, and finally logged into the game from a dead player's ‌ TV. "

Liao Ke realized: "I said before that there is an extra TV in the copy of the newcomer's single-player game, and I have been blocked to see the content in it. Is it spades?"

Ni Shen hummed: "Spades was born from Tavel's mermaid body, and when he was born, although the player and all the npcs were dead, the game was almost cleared."

"That is to say, the residents of Siren ‌ Town have basically recovered their normal consciousness, and they are normal humans. They know that their tragedy was caused by the mermaid that was caught at the beginning, that is, Tavel. Spades born in Tavel's body are very fearful and repulsive."

"...These townspeople tried to kill Spades in many ways, burning them with fire and cutting them with knives, but because Spade's resistance is too high, these things hurt him at all, and he also felt pain .”

Ni Shen took a deep breath: "Spades didn't resist from the beginning to the end. In other words, he didn't understand what happened at all, and just calmly let the townspeople deal with him."

"But because the townspeople have always had a way of killing Spades, extreme fear drove the townspeople crazy."

"They lined up in front of Spades, yelled you monster with distorted expressions, and then collectively cut their throats and committed suicide."

"Afterwards, Spade searched for the bodies of these people and found the body of the dead player inside. After taking his system coins, he logged into the game covered in blood."

Liao Ke nodded in understanding, and turned his head to look at Spades: "Spades, why do you choose teammates as the object of empathy? Teammates are not afraid of you."

The diagnostic device lowered its head, as if thinking seriously, and then replied: "They have special data for me."

Liao Ke reacted and laughed: "Are you using the metaphor I used earlier, right? The feelings for you are data, but the feelings of your teammates are not strong enough for you to generate special data. Give back."

"This is quite normal." Liao Ke was thoughtful, "It's like a normal human being who meets strangers with a sense of distance, but your teammates should have more affection for you than strangers. Be stronger, 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?"

The diagnostic device was silent for a while this time: "Because... the first time I saw Bai Liu, he smiled at me."

"I feel like he wants me to hug him."

"I feel like he wants me to go and stay with me forever."

"Other people will be like this, they will be afraid of me, but they will also want to hug me and be with me forever."

"Only Bailiu can produce this special data for me."

Liao Ke and Nishen were silent for a while, and then Liao Ke continued to ask: "The special data that Bai Liu gave you is different from other people, such as your teammates, isn't it? "

"Hmm." The diagnostic device answered quickly.

Liao Ke continued to ask: "Do you use anything to compare the feeling that this special data generated by Bai Liu brings to you?"

The diagnoser paused: "When Bai Liu met me for the first time, 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 Nishen: "I'm done asking, believe me, let me tell you, you also know where Spade's psychological problem lies, right?"

Nishen raised his forehead, and sighed helplessly: "Although I guessed it in the game, but when I really confirmed it, it's still a bit..."

Liao Ke smiled. He stood up and loosened the restraint belt that helped Spade, then turned around and patted Nishen on the shoulder: "It's complicated, right? It's the first time my daughter told me that she had a crush on That’s how I feel when I’m dating.”

"On the one hand, I'm glad that she has grown up and has someone she likes." Liao Ke turned to look at Spade, with a smile in his eyes, "On the other hand, I'm worried that this fool will fall in love with someone. "

"But now it's easy for you to get to know each other." Liao Ke suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed Ni Shen's arm, and yanked it out, "I think I just want to do psychological work for Spades." Counseling, and psychological counseling for you."

Ni Shen suddenly hissed when he was pulled, and the hand pulled out by Liao Ke was covered with bloody welts.

Liao Ke raised his eyes and looked at Nishen: "You said that you were injured and you can deceive Bai Yi, but you can deceive me as a professional. What's the matter with these welts? Why did you bring out the injury?"

Nishen paused, then withdrew his hand, and smiled slightly complaining: "What's the matter? That bastard Spade suddenly went crazy when he was about to log out of the game, he took out his whip and whipped me, and beat me to death. I was caught off guard, and when I reacted, I took the injury out of the game together."

Liao Ke looked at Nishen firmly: "The wound on your chest and the wound on the spade's chest are a kind of whip marks, both with hooks, and the spade's whip can look like this."

Ni Shen sat on the back of the sofa, lowered his head without saying a word, and remained silent for a long, long time.

Blood seeping from the welts on his chest splashed drop by drop on the floor.
