“Even if he’s genuinely helping, his assistance comes with ill intentions and unknown motives.”

Blue-haired Jiang Ran sighed helplessly: “Do you think you’re the only one who noticed? We’re not fools either, we obviously saw it too, but letting him try isn’t necessarily a bad thing.”

Smoky Makeup Jiang Ran maintained his eerie smile:

“Fools.”

“Even we who were forced into prolonged slumber, along with several others, understand this better than you.”

“If we were still on Earth, we might have had hope to seize control of the body and gain absolute dominance.”

“But now? Although I’ve just awakened, I’ve absorbed all memories since crossing to Blue Star.”

“Haven’t you noticed that this System is fundamentally designed to assist the main personality?”

“This System will never let us achieve our desires.”

“And most importantly.”

“Previously, the main personality could never enter here to eliminate any of us.”

“But since last time, when the System awakened the main personality’s evil memories, he can now enter to destroy one of us before being forced to leave.”

“What does this signify? It means that every time the System awakens all of the main personality’s evil memories, forming a complete entity, he can enter the inner landscape world once.”

“So instead of dreaming about controlling the body, we should focus on simply staying alive!”

After hearing this, Blue-haired Jiang Ran continuously ruffled his smooth blue hair.

“This really doesn’t sound like something you’d say! After all, back in the day, you were one of the most aggressive in fighting for body control!” Check latest chapters at NoveI~Fire.net

“By the way, since you’ve awakened, have any of the others awakened too?”

Smoky Makeup Jiang Ran shook his head: “No.”

Blue-haired Jiang Ran: “So what do you plan to do now?”

Smoky Makeup Jiang Ran: “What can I do? I don’t know.”

“Right now, I just want to go out and stretch my limbs.”

…

Inside Hypnosis Room 99.

The hypnosis session originally planned to last at least one hour.

Ended in less than half that time.

Beside Jiang Ran, Lucas, who had been sitting with eyes tightly closed, had now opened them.

Without the cover of eyelids, one could clearly see that the whites around Lucas’s sapphire-blue eyes were completely covered with dense, terrifying red veins, like creeping ivy.

That wasn’t all – Lucas’s forehead and entire face were drenched in sweat.

He looked utterly tormented, supporting himself with both hands on the floor while gasping for breath.

The expensive specialized pocket watch in his right hand had been tossed aside.

Like worthless garbage.

Bai Xiaoliang, who had been standing by the wall witnessing this scene.

Immediately rushed over from the wall, picked up the golden pocket watch.

Then helped Lucas to his feet.

Bai Xiaoliang removed the earplugs from both ears and asked Lucas what happened, what went wrong?

Why was he sweating so profusely?

Lucas didn’t look at Bai Xiaoliang, just kept his head down and said he needed to use the restroom.

Then Lucas rushed out of Hypnosis Room 99.

Running all the way to this floor’s bathroom.

Once in the bathroom, he continuously cupped water from the faucet in his hands, splashing it on his face to wash himself.

Only after five or six minutes of stimulation from the cold water did he finally face the bathroom mirror.

Staring at his own reflection.

The reflection showed a complexion somewhat improved from before.

But the red veins in his eyes still hadn’t receded.

Moreover, a throbbing pain continued to pulse through his head.

Suddenly, he let out a loud “Hahaha” laugh.

Then, he roared inwardly: “Damn it all! Those damned alternate personalities actually dared to attack me!”

Lucas raged madly within his mind.

He wondered why that suddenly appearing Smoky Makeup Jiang Ran had tried to kill him?

Was it because his lies had been exposed?

The lie about being an alternate personality?

Yes, that was indeed a lie.

Lucas never had dissociative identity disorder at all. The story about being an alternate personality who killed the main personality was completely fabricated, just to build rapport with Jiang Ran’s alternate personalities!

As for later offers of help, those were lies too.

Only he himself knew what his true objectives were.

…

Back in Hypnosis Room 99.

The white-coated doctors had all gathered around.

One young doctor asked Bai Xiaoliang: “Dr. Bai, what happened to Dr. Lucas? He seemed to be in extreme agony?”

Bai Xiaoliang thought for a moment, then said seriously: “When you reach Lucas’s level of expertise, you’ll understand roughly what happened.”

The white-coated doctors exchanged puzzled glances.

The young doctor spoke up: “If I could achieve even half of Dr. Lucas’s skill in this lifetime, it would be my ancestors showing divine favor.”

“Setting aside other aspects, just consider Dr. Lucas’s techniques.”

“We simply can’t comprehend them.”

“Ordinary hypnotists, including ourselves.”

“Typically use hypnotic tools to induce trance states in patients.”

“Then employ soft voices and various verbal techniques to achieve relaxation and other hypnotic purposes.”

“But Dr. Lucas’s methods…”

“He lit some incense sticks, then swayed that pocket watch.”

“And did nothing else whatsoever.”

“Although we wore earplugs, from my position I could see Dr. Lucas’s mouth clearly. His lips never moved. I observed very carefully.”

Bai Xiaoliang turned to look at this young doctor.

This young doctor was only five or six years younger than Bai Xiaoliang.

But the gap in their skill levels was like heaven and earth.

However, in this hospital, Bai Xiaoliang valued this young doctor the most.

He said: “What you perceived as him doing nothing was actually him accomplishing a great deal.”

While they were conversing, Lucas had already returned.

The returning Lucas still had water droplets on his face and the golden hair around his forehead.

Seeing Lucas return, Bai Xiaoliang asked: “Lucas, should we continue with the hypnosis session?”

Lucas shook his head at Bai Xiaoliang.

Then, he walked over to Jiang Ran, who remained in hypnotic trance.

He asked Bai Xiaoliang to return the golden pocket watch.

After swaying the golden pocket watch a few times, he snapped his right fingers.

Miraculously, Jiang Ran awakened from the hypnotic state.

Upon awakening, Jiang Ran opened his eyes.

Seeing the doctors gathered around him.

He shook his head, then while supporting himself with both hands on the floor, asked: “Is the hypnosis over?”

Bai Xiaoliang said: “It’s over. Jiang Ran, did you experience any unusual sensations?”

Jiang Ran collected his thoughts for a moment, then said: “Nothing particularly unusual, just feeling very relaxed after waking up.”

Bai Xiaoliang nodded: “Alright, this hypnosis session is concluded. For the next hypnotherapy session, I’ll contact you again.”

“You may leave the hospital and return home.”

Subsequently, Jiang Ran rose from the bedding, put on his shoes, and left Hypnosis Room 99 along with the red-contact-lens nurse Xiao Tong and the other doctors.

Now, only Bai Xiaoliang and Lucas remained in the room.
