Lin Fan agreed to hypnosis, and John Woo was the happiest. He was certain that something must have happened at that time, in that lost memory.
Jin Sichen asked Lin Fan to find the most comfortable position, lie on the sofa, close his eyes and relax.
The light in the room was dimmed, with only a small lamp next to Lin Fan's head, emitting a soft, warm yellow light.
Jin Sichen also sat closer and slowly guided her in a low voice.
"You feel very relaxed... very comfortable, just lying here in a relaxed manner... exhale slowly, inhale, exhale... you feel that each breath is natural and relaxing... you lie here in a relaxed manner, feeling very natural and comfortable... those uncomfortable feelings gradually fade away... the pain slowly leaves your body, and you only feel comfortable and relaxed... you don't have to think about anything, and your brain begins to relax... inhale... inhale... inhale..."
"You will feel your whole body relax... Feeling very comfortable... Very safe... You don't have to do anything, your mind is empty, you just need to relax... Relax... Now, your consciousness will follow my voice... We are going back to that noon when it was not too hot... Breathe... Breathe... That noon left you with a special memory. You need to go deep into your memory and review it again... Breathe... Breathe... Breathe..."
"Every breath you take brings you one step closer to memory... Now you are standing before the gate of memory. Push it open and slowly enter... You are already immersed in the long river of memory. There are so many memories, beautiful, happy, sad, painful, joyful, and pleasant... Continue to go in, slowly search for the memory of that not-so-hot noon..."
"Ah... I found it... It wasn't too hot at noon that day, so you went downstairs to feed the cats... Relax, relax again, you felt very relaxed, just following my instructions and continued walking... After feeding the cats, you watched them eat, then after a while went to the entrance of the grove to pour cat food and water, and then prepared to leave... Breathe... Breathe... You felt very happy, very relaxed... At this moment, the cats meowed, and you looked back to see that they had all run away."
"You walk back and use a branch to remove the grass, but don't see any snakes... Then, you hear a rumbling sound, getting louder and louder from afar... Breathe... Breathe... You are now standing in the woods, and you feel the sky obscure and suddenly darken... You look up and see a plane flying over the woods, trailing a long trail of black smoke... What do you see next?"
Jin Sichen's voice became different from before, low and magnetic. He slowly guided Lin Fan into his memories. Even John Woo, who was sitting next to him, had the illusion that he was being led into that situation.
However, after waiting for a long time, Lin Fan did not give any answer.
"Lin Fan, what did you see?" Jin Sichen asked again.
"...darkness." Lin Fan was silent for a long time before replying.
"Push aside the darkness with your hands and look behind it. What else is there?"
Lin Fan raised his hands and made a pulling motion.
Jin Sichen frowned slightly. Although he gave Lin Fan the instruction to take action, it was just a psychological hint. Normally, the hand would not be really raised.
Could it be...
Then Lin Fan said, "It can't be opened."
really!
"Lin Fan, can you open your eyes now?" Jin Sichen asked.
John Woo was startled.
This was not the first time he had hypnotized someone. He always started slowly, continued slowly, and ended slowly, emphasizing the word "slow" from beginning to end. He had never seen anyone open their eyes in the middle of the process.
Is this a problem?
Looking at Lin Fan's eyes that quickly opened, Jin Sichen said with certainty, "You weren't hypnotized by me."
ah?!
John Woo looked at Lin Fan.
How could it be possible? Jin Sichen was incredibly skilled at hypnosis; even those who listened in felt the same way. How could Lin Fan, a psychologically fragile person, not be hypnotized?
But that's the fact.
Lin Fan sat up and asked, "Was that hypnosis just now? I didn't feel anything."
"I don't feel anything?" Jin Sichen frowned. He had never encountered a situation where hypnosis failed.
"No, I just spoke with my eyes closed. There was nothing special about it," said Lin Fan.
There was a silence.
Lin Fan didn't know what to do, John Woo was at a loss, and Jin Sichen started laughing.
"Well," he said, "there are always exceptions."
As he spoke, he walked closer to Lin Fan, bent down, lowered his sunglasses, looked directly into her eyes and said, "Look into my eyes!"
Lin Fan didn't have time to step back as Jin Sichen approached her before she was stunned by his expression beneath his sunglasses. She had assumed Jin Sichen's white hair was dyed for fashion, but she hadn't expected his eyebrows to be white too.
Unlike Mr. Qian's white hair and eyebrows, Jin Sichen's eyelashes are also white, and what is even more rare is his eyes.
The average Asian person's eye color is dark brown. Caucasians' eye color is mostly blue, yellow, purple, or even green. With the advent of cosmetic contact lenses, eye colors of all kinds are no longer uncommon.
But Jin Sichen's eyes were a light pink, a very light pink, like frozen cherry blossom petals, or thin pink crystals. Her pupils were smaller than those of an average person, and not black, but lavender.
Lin Fan was stunned for only a moment before he felt himself being sucked into those eyes.
Pink spread out in front of her eyes, engulfing her like a tide. Her light purple pupils grew larger and darker, spreading out strands that extended into the light pink area, stirring it and turning it into purple.
Lin Fan was bewildered by the deep and light purple, and her whole body became confused. The grove, the cat, and the airplane quickly flashed through her mind.
"What did you see?"
A deep male voice exploded in her ears, and Lin Fan suddenly broke free from the purple vortex. She blinked and woke up instantly.
Light pink looks pretty good, she thought, looking into Jin Sichen's eyes.
Jin Sichen had clearly already controlled Lin Fan's mind, but he hadn't expected that his words would actually sober him up. If the previous failure had only surprised him, then now he could truly be considered frustrated.
Why did Jin Sichen join the Special Affairs Office?
His strong business skills were indeed one reason, but the more important reason was that Jin Sichen also had special abilities.
He was born with albinism, abandoned by his family and taken in by an orphanage. Because of his albinism, he suffered from exclusion and bullying since childhood.
At first, he didn't know how to resist. Later, at some point, he discovered that simply glaring at others would make them do what he wanted. The naive child's wish was simple yet terrifying. After causing some commotion, the special police discovered this special child and brought him back.
They confirmed that Jin Sichen's eyes had an almost invincible hypnotic power - he could instantly hypnotize someone just by looking at them. To reduce trouble, they put sunglasses on him.
Fortunately, when Jin Sichen was brought back to the special agency, he hadn't yet developed a distorted personality, and after a little teaching, he was still a good child. At the same time, they also discovered that his IQ was extremely high, far exceeding the average level, so they carefully cultivated him.
It can be said that Jin Sichen is a child raised in a special agency.
When he grew up a little and realized the specialness of his eyes, he became very interested in hypnosis.
In order to understand and research relevant knowledge, he specifically applied for the psychology major, studied psychology all the way, achieved considerable success, became a psychology expert, and returned to work at the Special Affairs Office. This is something everyone likes to see.
Jin Sichen was a gifted and intelligent person. He left the Special Affairs Office at a young age to study abroad, and stayed there for many years, so not many people in the Special Affairs Office knew about this.
After completing his studies and returning to China, perhaps influenced by foreign fashion trends, he became a fashion-conscious young man, obsessed with beauty. This was evident in his attire. He also switched from solid black sunglasses to gradient brown ones. They were dark at the top, fading to lighter towards the bottom, barely visible. So even when people saw his gray hair, Baimei assumed he had dyed it for the sake of beauty. Of course, his eyes were invisible to the average person.
I've previously mentioned how several people were hypnotized by him. He exploited the transparent bottom of his gradient glasses, deliberately tilting his head away from them. While they couldn't clearly see his eyes, they could see the outline, which worked. Because they weren't directly eye-confronted, these were just pranks, not life-threatening.
Normally, hypnosis would be done using common psychological techniques, but I didn't expect to suffer a Waterloo today with Lin Fan. Even his invincible talent was defeated one after another.
This is more than just a frustration. It makes me question my life!
Wu Yusen was sitting next to her, and because of the angle, he couldn't see Jin Sichen's eyes. But they knew that Jin Sichen's eyes had a hypnotic talent. Others didn't know why she had the nickname "Medusa", but they thought it was very appropriate.
He had fully expected that once Jin Sichen took off his glasses and looked Lin Fan in the eye, the events that followed would become clear. Unexpectedly, there was no movement for a long time, and finally, Jin Sichen sat back down, motionless.
What's going on?
John Woo looked at Lin Fan and decided to ask Jin Sichen.
"She can't be hypnotized by me."
"How could it be?" John Woo asked in surprise, and this time he really couldn't laugh anymore.
"Yes, I can." Jin Sichen pressed his forehead. He was also depressed about this situation.
"...Could it be that the earrings that Mr. Qian gave me worked?" John Woo suddenly thought of the gift that Mr. Qian gave him in the morning.
Jin Sichen saw the earrings but didn't pay much attention to them. After hearing that they were a gift from Mr. Qian, she hurriedly asked, "What's their function?"
"It seemed like it was about suppressing negative emotions and preventing her from going crazy," John Woo recalled.
"That shouldn't be the case. It has nothing to do with mine." Jin Sichen said, "Besides, Mr. Qian himself is almost no match for my talent, so there's no reason why the little things he made would be good. I don't think so."
"Is there something wrong with the way it was opened? Do you want to try again?"
Jin Sichen thought about it and, unwilling to give up, tried again. This time, Lin Fan wasn't confused at all. He half-closed his eyes and looked him in the eye.
Even more uncomfortable...
It’s unclear who feels worse between John Woo and Jin Sichen.
