The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan.

Seeing the words written by Tang Ze, Miyano Akemi frowned and instinctively wanted to refute: "Mirror image? Who? Kiharakawa and my uncle?"

Her lips moved, and descriptions like "overestimating one's own abilities" and "wild imagination" almost came out of her mouth. It was only after she looked at Tang Ze's expression that she managed to hold back.

Not to mention the Tangze couple before they were placed under house arrest by the organization, even after they were forced to work for the organization with full vigilance, Tangze Ikawa was undoubtedly outstanding as a team leader.

Tang Ze is a charismatic and well-loved man. His status in the Phantom Thieves is similar to that of his former uncle in his own laboratory.

Kiharakawa, what is he dreaming about?

"Of course, what we need to discuss now is the true state of Kiharakawa's heart. Look at Kiharakawa, he really wants to be the mirror image of my father." Tang Ze drew a circle around the word with the tip of his pen, "I'm not just talking about the similarities between him and my father. You should know that there is a concept of 'psychological mirror image' in psychology."

This theory extends from the concept of social psychology and refers to the behavior of people who are influenced by others and unconsciously imitate others during interpersonal communication.

It is both a phenomenon of human social activities and interpersonal communication, and a process of finding reflections in others and thus establishing psychological dependence.

"Let's put aside the question of how to evaluate Kiharakawa. He is a man of real talent and knowledge, no matter what subject. This should be the first target we come into contact with who has the ability equivalent to that of a mask user. We have to consider his academic ability in cognitive science, which will affect the situation of his palace."

This is a target with brainwashing ability. In reality, you can use some means to create a hypnotic debuff. It is not certain whether his temple is difficult or not, but the number of times or duration of the strategy is likely to be limited. If you try to use the shadow that affects him to affect him personally, he may even notice it.

Tang Ze needed to briefly explain his superficial understanding to the group members, so he organized his language and explained his thinking process as briefly as possible.

"I think this is the key word, or it's because he has been imitating my father. As you know, my parents studied psychology for me, and I have received some social cognitive training. Many children with autism lack the ability to communicate with the world around them, and cannot understand the behavior of others normally and give reasonable feedback, so if they want to integrate into social life, this kind of training is essential.

"At the beginning of their training, they treated me as an emotionally deficient patient, assuming that I could not understand other people's behavior and emotions. The theory my father had been studying during that time was the 'mirror self'."

People can recognize themselves and observe themselves, but the concept of self ultimately needs to be formed by objective and social factors.

Understand yourself from the perspective of others, imagine how your words and deeds are observed and evaluated by others, and then form concepts of social life such as right and wrong, morality, etc.

This level of self-cognition is called the "mirror self", that is, the cognition formed after viewing others as mirrors and looking back at oneself is also called the "social self".

Based on this communication and socialization theory, combined with psychological perspectives, Karasawa Ikawa developed an initial training plan.

Of course, the patient being treated, Tang Ze himself, did not know this part of the content. At that time, he had not yet recovered and his perception of the outside world was very vague. This information came from Haibara Ai, who inherited all the research content.

Tang Ze turned his gaze to the little girl who was sitting across the table holding Noah's doll, with a stern face and no words.

It can be seen that Kiharakawa's actions of imitating his father and trying to hypnotize and use Karasawa greatly angered her. She has been involved in the meeting for such a long time, but she just stared at Kiharakawa's photo without saying a word.

When she heard Tang Ze start talking about psychological concepts, she finally raised her head, glanced at everyone at the table, and suddenly spoke.

"I agree with Tang Ze's opinion. If we want to anchor Kiharakawa's inner world, 'mirror' is a very appropriate concept. As an emerging discipline, cognitive psychology is a mixture of many different directions and majors. Just like our previous discussion around the term totem, symbolic meaning is crucial to cognition. His imitation is similar enough and close enough to the core. In the long run, he will be able to approach the object of his imitation from a cognitive level."

Unable to control her strength any longer, she wrinkled the photo on the table, her blue eyes ablaze with anger.

"Then, he will be able to gain cognitive abilities similar to those of the person being imitated. So your previous doubts were correct. Yes, he wants to completely replace Tang Ze Yichuan."

"So, his hypnotic ability actually comes from Mr. Tang Ze Ikawa." Zhu Fu Jingguang held his chin and thought, "It's just like the organization is trying to create a totem. He relies on an extreme imitation to make others mistake him for Tang Ze Ikawa. The more people think so, the closer he will be to his original self. Is that what you mean?"

Tangze tapped the paper in front of him, Miyano Akemi lowered her head, and Huibara Ai held the photo and said nothing.

They all looked as if they had agreed.

The others exchanged glances, and although they took the emotions of the three people into consideration and did not say anything, the meaning in their expressions was already obvious.

Oh my god, what on earth would this person's temple look like? Maybe Shadow is a complete knockoff of Karasawa Ichikawa...

Matsuda Jinpei, who was confused for a while, touched his chin, but his point was different from others: "So, what you just said was that in order to make Tang Ze understand the normal way of communication when he was a child, his father made him constantly imitate and observe other people's feedback, and constantly adjust his external performance so that he could integrate into society, right?"

I don't know why he suddenly emphasized this, but Miyano Akemi nodded and agreed with his summary.

Jinpei Matsuda thought for a while, and a shocked expression slowly appeared on his face.

He glanced at the only half-Muggle Huibara Ai in the audience, then turned to look at the other teammates, and pointed at Tang Ze with a shocked look as if he had finally figured it out: "So, this is the real reason? No, why are you all so calm. Although I have basically never studied psychology, but, personality mask, personality mask!"

Personality mask, persona, is not only an ability to understand the world, but also a concept in psychoanalysis.

Rather than saying that this alien world was born out of Jungian psychology, it is better to say that it is precisely because of the existence of Jungian psychology, which was born out of psychoanalysis, that the cognitive world is materialized in such a form.

The original meaning of personality mask refers to the behavioral pattern corresponding to one's identity formed in the process of social interaction. It is a product of adapting to society and gradually becoming socialized. It is a code of conduct that meets expectations in order for people to adapt to different social roles.

Following this logic, what Tang Ze Ichikawa really taught Tang Ze through this training was actually...

"Wild, this ability is called wild." Facing the other people's confused or surprised gazes, Tang Ze answered.

----

Ordinary personality mask users, at least in the worldview that Tang Ze lives and comes into contact with, only have one mask. Even if their abilities improve or their mentality changes, it is only their mask that will change into another form after awakening again, and there is still only one.

But the protagonists of the New Testament are different. They can arrest other familiars in the cognitive world and use them as their masks. This special ability is called wild, which means unruly.

As for why it was Tang Ze in this world, Tang Ze actually discussed this question with Leon.

"Rather than saying that I was chosen by this world, it would be better to say that I was chosen by my parents." Tang Ze, holding a wine glass, reached out and patted the menu that Leon placed in the corner of the bar.

He didn't know how other people got their wild attributes, but his wild attribute was probably related to the training of the Tangze couple.

"Their original intention was not to give you any special powers. On the contrary, they wanted you to become less special." Leon also patted the thick book of personality. "I think even without the understanding of the game and comics plot as a prerequisite, without the panel and those super game parts, you would still be a wild one."

Worried that their child might never be able to live an ordinary life due to autism, the Tangze couple racked their brains, trying to train Tangze, who was still very young at the time, to find corresponding feedback methods for every scenario he would encounter in the future even though he lacked normal comprehension abilities.

What kind of expression is joy, what kind of expression is anger, what kind of behavior should give what kind of response, how to consider and put oneself in the other person's relationship with oneself, etc. They want to write a guide for the little children so that they will never have a situation that they don't know how to face.

"So, this is why I like to use honorifics so much?" Tang Ze tilted his head and thought for a while, "Indeed, I will use honorifics in a bunch of sentences when I meet strangers. It feels like it's instinct. I didn't have this kind of personality in my previous life."

Unlike this life where the young master suffered mentally but had abundant material conditions, Tang Ze in his previous life was forced to live under someone else's roof because his parents died. He even experienced several years of wandering and being pushed around. He was a shrewd person who was used to the fickleness of human nature.

This kind of family background and environment will not produce any well-behaved children. A child who is too well-behaved will easily be eaten up in such an environment, and everything in his hands will be easily taken away.

“Yes, this is how you spent your childhood, and this mark is also difficult to erase. Their love has made you what you are today.” Leon pushed the book in his hand, letting the warm yellow ceiling light of the bar cover its leather cover. “This is the life description they left for you, which contains a variety of options, so it is a menu.”

Tang Ze slowly stroked the convex and concave gold-plated letters on the cover with his fingertips and closed his eyes.

This was the thing he wanted to cherish the most, but fate seemed to be playing tricks on him and he had lost it more than once.

He will not let them go, and he will take back all the executioners who took away this precious feeling.

"You think Kiharakawa is a researcher in the organization, but his position is not very high. Tell me your judgment."

The evening rush hour traffic had dispersed, and sitting in a cafe with only a few people around, Amuro Toru listened to Tang Ze's description and temporarily wrote down this conclusion.

Contacting Kiharakawa and testing his abilities and intentions was a plan they had come up with. Even the illness was planned together, with the goal of reaching the current conclusion.

This could very well be an opportunity to get in touch with the organization's research lines, and they don't want to miss it.

"He knows my father. We can even say that they had a very good relationship. If my father had not been discovered and taken away by the organization, he might have always been at the core of my father's team. But just based on this kind of relationship, it doesn't explain how he could know so much about what my father did after joining the organization."

If it weren't for the organization's intervention, Tang Ze Ikawa would probably have been the only psychological patient, and he had never practiced medicine as a psychologist.

Kiharakawa is not only imitating Karasawa Ikawa himself, he is also imitating the later Karasawa Ikawa, the one who has a deep understanding of cognitive psychology and possesses the temperament of an academic giant.

Without any information channels from the organization, if I want to understand these details, I can only rely on my deceased father to talk to me in my dreams.

"But if you want to say that he really understands the organization, he doesn't even have the slightest idea that 'Tang Ze Zhao has been killed'. He doesn't even have the slightest idea that the organization is watching me." Tang Ze said with a very strange expression, "He really rushed over like he had discovered some great treasure."

Even if they are members of the organization with insufficient authority, they have no idea of ​​Kumail's identity, so it is normal for them to go to Tangze.

But since everyone knows the importance of Karasawa himself to cognitive research, hasn't Kiharakawa, who is involved with the organization, carefully considered a question? Karasawa Ichikawa is dead, so why can Karasawa still be a free elf outside? It can't be that Gin threw a sock at him, right?

Tang Ze shook the strange image out of his mind and gave his own judgment: "The only possible explanation is that he is a pure research line member. Maybe he knows that the organization is a criminal group and has made a lot of efforts in this regard. He may also use his ability to make side jobs and accumulate some minions for himself. He has high authority in terms of drugs and equipment, but he has no idea about the organization's specific plans or even the concept of code members."

There are quite a few code-named members in the winery, and Tang Ze himself has come into contact with quite a few of them. Because of the intersection of business lines, he has also more or less come into contact with some members who were not mentioned in the original work.

But after counting on his fingers, Tang Ze discovered that the only researcher with a code name he had seen in this group was Shirley.

Oh, there are many people who have been experimented on.

Even his parents didn't have code names in the past. Although this may be the reason why the Karazawa couple were unwilling to cooperate, it is also a fact that the Miyano couple, the Karazawa couple and other researchers who were in charge of the research project did not even realize the nature of the organization in the early stages.

If there is any difference between Kiharakawa and them, that difference probably comes from his degree of cooperation with the organization.

"Do you have any other guesses?" Sensing the unfinished meaning in Tang Ze's words, Amuro Toru raised his eyebrows and asked directly, "It doesn't matter if you are not sure enough. The guess itself needs further verification."

"Well, I was wondering, is there a possibility that he doesn't know the organization's real code name at all?" Tang Ze narrowed his eyes, "So, the code name he gave himself is, 'Psychologist'."
