Chapter 340: The Cage
Watching Chi Xiao Cheng fall asleep instantly, Dongfang Wen stroked his balding head, then turned to look at the feedback from the instruments connected to her pulse and heart.
He couldn't understand it at all.
He waved his hand, and Su Tao and the other two who were hiding in the cubicle tiptoed out immediately.
They moved carefully, afraid of waking the sleeping Chi Xiao Cheng.
But Dongfang Wen waved his hand dismissively, his voice normal, "Don't worry, once she's in a hypnotic state, she won't wake up until she recovers all her memories, unless we stimulate her nerves and make her feel the external interference."
Dongfang Yang asked in a low voice, "Really?"
"I've been in this field for twenty years, why would I lie to you about this?"
Dongfang Wen scratched his head again, "But even after twenty years in the field, this is the first time I've seen a situation like this."
Si Chen walked up to Dongfang Wen and looked at the various indicators on the machine, "According to the data, Chi Xiao Cheng is indeed asleep, and in a deep sleep. It's been less than a minute since she fell asleep, right?"
"Professor Dongfang, your hypnotism is too powerful!"
He said it out loud, but in reality, he was marveling at Chi Xiao Cheng's acting skills, or perhaps she was using some kind of high technology. In any case, she could even deceive the machine. Amazing, Sister!
Dongfang Wen himself was also very conflicted, "It's not that I'm too powerful. I know my own level, but it's just... very strange!"
Su Tao said calmly, "Then Professor Dongfang, does this prove that your hypnosis was successful? Xiao Cheng is in her dream searching for her own memories."
As she spoke, Su Tao took off her down jacket, went to Chi Xiao Cheng, and placed the jacket, which was already warm and carried her faint fragrance, over her.
Looking at her sleeping face, a smile finally appeared.
Dongfang Wen nodded helplessly, "She is indeed asleep, and she did enter her dream from her subconscious, but it just makes me feel strange. I've used this method of hypnosis to treat many patients with memory loss."
"Generally, they fall asleep in 30 seconds to 5 minutes. The more severe the memory loss, the sooner they fall asleep."
"But the average person's sleep time is 3 minutes."
"Because during hypnosis, I also need to guide them. People will follow the swaying of the pocket watch, from initially concentrating to gradually becoming distracted."
"This process takes about three minutes. Even those patients with memory loss lasting 30 years need about two minutes to fall asleep quickly."
"The most severe patient I treated had lost 50 years of memory, and that person fell asleep in 1 minute and 28 seconds."
"But she..." Dongfang Wen was checking the time, but he hadn't reacted to press pause, so he had to bite the bullet and say, "She fell asleep in about 10 seconds, but I hadn't even started the foreplay of hypnosis at that time."
The old professor took a deep breath, then sighed deeply.
He bowed deeply to Su Tao, "Before this, I suspected countless times that she was faking her memory loss. It was my misdiagnosis. I'm very sorry, Miss Su Tao!"
He was a leading figure in all fields of medicine, and this bow startled Su Tao.
She quickly helped the old man up and comforted him a few times, then asked, "Then Xiao Cheng fell asleep so quickly because she lost a lot of memories?"
Dongfang Wen nodded responsibly, "Although it's very surprising, I don't think my theory is wrong. The more severe the memory loss, the faster they fall asleep. The memories hidden in the subconscious are slightly stirred, and then they rush out like a tide."
"The brain can't handle it and makes a protective mechanism that makes people fall into a coma, so that in the long sleep time, the mind falls into the memory of the subconscious and accepts it little by little."
Dongfang Wen's eyes darkened, "What she lost is probably not just the memory of the short few months from when you quarreled to now."
...
The others were discussing around Chi Xiao Cheng, while Chi Xiao Cheng, as the person involved, was secretly upgrading her intermediate acting skills to ultimate acting skills, and was planning to pretend to be asleep when she completely lost her memory.
When she opened her eyes again, she was here.
A pure white space, she knelt on the ground, surrounded by countless screens that were constantly flickering. She reached out to these screens, but found that each of these screens was like a television with no signal, all white noise.
"Why did I come here..."
"Did I transmigrate again?"
"No, was I hypnotized?"
Chi Xiao Cheng pointed her index finger at her chin, unable to calmly think about the current situation for a moment.
Just as she was thinking, she heard the sound of high heels on the floor, "You were indeed hypnotized. That old thing, he's really got something."
Chi Xiao Cheng looked up, "Xiao Hei?"
Xiao Hei reached out to Chi Xiao Cheng, easily pulled her up from the ground, and explained to her, "This is your subconscious sea of consciousness. After you were hypnotized, your main consciousness came here."
"My subconscious, doesn't that mean..."
Chi Xiao Cheng was stunned, and then found that the white space in front of her suddenly began to collapse.
It changed, and then reorganized.
She stood in a prison cell, in front of her was a tall iron cage, a girl with long gray-black hair was locked in the iron cage, shackles imprisoned her hands and feet, she knelt by the cage, as if without vitality, closed her eyes and said nothing.
Seeing this scene, Chi Xiao Cheng reacted directly, her eyes suddenly turned blood red, "Tao Tao!"
She shouted, wanting to rush into the iron cage, but found that she directly passed through the iron bars weaving the cage, and even couldn't stop her footsteps, passing through Su Tao's body.
The space rippled, indicating that the Su Tao locked in the iron cage was actually an illusion.
A trace of heartache flashed in Xiao Hei's eyes, and she said slowly, "This is your subconscious. Except for me, everything is fake. The Su Tao in the cage is the true appearance of Su Tao in your cognition, or maybe..."
"Situation."
Xiao Hei looked at the cage, "She is locked in this cage, unable to resist, unable to struggle, maybe she doesn't even know that she is in a cage."
Xiao Hei reached out and pulled Chi Xiao Cheng aside, "Take a closer look, besides Su Tao, what else is in this cage?"
Chi Xiao Cheng noticed that in addition to the imprisoned Su Tao, there were also puppets of various sizes.
A black puppet wearing glasses.
A red-haired puppet with a sun pattern engraved on it.
A puppet with two broken ears and a lot of fluff popping out.
A bad puppet with broken limbs all over the ground.
And a turtle puppet hidden in the shadows, secretly staring at everything outside.
The scene inside the cage was slowly changing, as if forming a warm bedroom.
But in the blink of an eye, the warmth of the bedroom turned into a cold prison.
After taking a few glances, Chi Xiao Cheng's pupils shrank for a moment. She saw a wooden, dull-looking scarecrow puppet wearing orange clothes beside Su Tao's legs.
Looking down, Chi Xiao Cheng realized that everyone she knew was locked in this cage.
Only she was outside the cage.
