Chapter 335 The Answer Without Regret (Bonus Chapter For Poor Fierce Hungry Salty)
The Answer Without Regret (Bonus Chapter For Poor Fierce Hungry Salty)
Dongfang Wen smiled confidently, "Of course it's a choice. Don't underestimate hypnotists."
"When it comes to memory, the more I understand what Xiaocheng has lost and what she cares about, the more specific it is, the more I can do during hypnosis."
"I can use suggestive topics to manipulate her subconscious thoughts, thereby achieving the goal of 'making her think according to my instructions' during hypnosis."
You should know that truly advanced hypnosis means absolute obedience.
Some hypnosis scenes in comics and anime may seem exaggerated, but many ideas often come from reality.
Even in fantasy, people can't imagine things beyond their knowledge.
Dongfang Wen's words made Su Tao's breathing quicken, "So, can you make Xiaocheng not recall those painful things and only remember the good things?"
"Yes, I can."
Dongfang Wen nodded slightly.
Others might not be able to do it, but he was confident, "Of course, the prerequisite is that I understand Xiaocheng well enough, and Xiaocheng can't be wary of me at all. Once she is guarded and defensive, her subconscious will resist me."
"I think you understand what I mean. You can choose, but the truth depends on the person being hypnotized."
He would guide Chi Xiaocheng, but not everyone is easily guided.
Having another option can change a person's mindset.
Hoping for good things and forgetting pain is human nature.
Dongfang Wen watched Su Tao stop in the middle of the hallway, struggling with her decision.
But to his surprise, Su Tao rejected his suggestion, "Professor Dongfang, don't consider whether it's good or painful. Please awaken all of Xiaocheng's memories!"
It was a choice she had struggled with countless times.
Now that it was time to hand in the paper, why should she still think about right and wrong?
Only the complete Xiaocheng is the Xiaocheng I love.
The disturbed Xiaocheng is also the Xiaocheng who loves me.
No wonder this girl was taken care of by that kid Dongfang Yang. This quality is truly rare.
You should know that everything he had said along the way contained psychological suggestion.
Dongfang Wen: "Then, Xiaotao, tell me more about Xiaocheng, including her personality traits. The more details, the better."
"No problem." Su Tao nodded seriously. She didn't take Dongfang Wen to Chi Xiaocheng's ward, but to a reception room.
Pouring water and making tea.
At the same time, she said, "Xiaocheng's personality is quite dualistic. Most of the time, she is simple and sensible, a bit clumsy, easily swayed, and doesn't play tricks. 'Naturally innocent and too weak to truss a chicken' is the best way to describe her."
"From childhood to adulthood, she really doesn't have any scheming."
"But her other side is very extreme, even disturbed!"
Worried that Dongfang Wen wouldn't understand, Su Tao thoughtfully explained what *yandere* is.
Then, she told him everything about Chi Xiaocheng in detail.
Including the rooftop, the small dark room, suicide attempts, quarrels, and all kinds of conflicts.
Without any concealment, what she told Dongfang Wen was even more than what she told Si Chen.
She didn't have much room to retreat anymore, and she didn't want to wait any longer. She could feel the real skill of the master in front of her, and this was a desperate gamble she had decided on long ago.
However, after listening, Dongfang Wen's expression was no longer as relaxed as before.
Su Tao asked in confusion, "What's wrong, Professor Dongfang? Is there a problem?"
Dongfang Wen shook his head slightly, "There's nothing wrong with what you said, and I can understand everything, but I personally feel a sense of separation."
"A sense of separation?"
Dongfang Wen nodded with a smile, "This is just the intuition of this old man. Don't worry about it. Let's go see Xiaocheng. Hypnosis can't start immediately. I need some time to make friends with her."
"Okay."
Su Tao nodded, but as she stood up, she turned to ask Dongfang Wen, "Professor Dongfang, do you need to rest first?"
"No, no need." Dongfang Wen laughed, "I've been listening to your story for the past hour. I'm not tired at all. On the contrary, I'm very interested in Xiaocheng. Cases like yours are rare."
"Then please come with me."
But just as they stood up, the door was pushed open heavily, "Old man, you lied to me, didn't you? I searched your hotel room for the hypnosis tools you mentioned, and all I found was a yo-yo!"
It was Dongfang Yang who had returned, his fists clenched, obviously quite angry.
Dongfang Wen waved his hand meaningfully, not minding the rude language in Dongfang Yang's mouth, and said calmly, "You still don't understand, kid. Most objects can become the carrier of hypnosis. Pocket watches and the like are just aids for beginners."
"And you actually question the yo-yo? Haven't you seen *iPartment*?"
Dongfang Yang: "Then can you use a yo-yo to treat her?"
Dongfang Wen, "No, but I'm the king of cool old men, and I like to play with this thing when I'm bored."
Reaching out to take the yo-yo, Dongfang Wen patted his grand-nephew's shoulder, "Okay, you just got back, rest first. I still need to see Xiaocheng."
"Tsk! I'll go with you."
The three took the elevator and quickly arrived on the fifth floor.
As soon as the elevator doors opened, Su Tao was the first to step out and bumped into another small figure.
Their eyes met, and for a moment, there was a hint of gunpowder in the air.
Su Tao was hostile to this potential rival.
And Fang Ning was questioning Su Tao why she had allowed Chi Xiaocheng to be hospitalized again.
Su Tao didn't even notice when Fang Ning had come to visit Chi Xiaocheng, nor did she understand why Fang Ning knew that Chi Xiaocheng had been hospitalized again.
Before she could speak, Fang Ning had already moved aside, allowing the three of them to exit the elevator.
Then she bowed respectfully to Dongfang Yang, "Good morning, Dongfang *gege*~"
Dongfang Yang smiled slightly, "Good morning to you too, Xiao Fang Ning. Are you here to visit Xiaocheng?"
"Yes, I just found out that Xiaocheng *jiejie* was hospitalized again, but seeing that her spirits are still good, I'm relieved." Fang Ning walked into the elevator, not lingering too long, "There are still some things to do at the cat cafe, so I'll go back first, bye~"
With that, she pressed the elevator button. From beginning to end, it seemed like Su Tao didn't exist in her eyes.
The small accident didn't cause the three of them to linger for long.
But Dongfang Wen, looking at Su Tao's back, still put a hand on his white beard and stroked it.
They walked straight, turned a corner, and then arrived at the door of Chi Xiaocheng's ward.
Su Tao asked, "Do you want to go in together?"
Dongfang Wen shook his head slightly, "Too many people can create invisible pressure. If you bring me in together, it will give her a feeling of being interrogated, and the first impression of making friends is very important. You guys wait outside for a while."
He knocked on the door three times, from light to heavy.
Making friends and lowering their guard is not a necessary prerequisite for hypnosis.
In Dongfang Wen's eyes, hypnosis is just one of the treatments.
And the treatment, at the moment he knocked on the door, had already begun.
