Chapter 1870 Rumors And Hypnosis
His words surprised Lucas.
“Are you threatening me?”
“You can try.”
Lucas was dealt a heavy blow at Steven’s blank expression. He began to reestimate his own abilities.
Steven doesn’t stand much of a chance if I fight him now. He was only acting tough, urging me to take him on. Instead, he was merely using it as an excuse to escape with his men.
The corners of Steven’s lip curled into a smile after he got the news. “It’s good that he left. I’ll let him leave for now. He must have gone looking for the owner of Girin Blood. When he found it, the owner of Girin Blood will drop into our hands like the key.”
“As expected of Mr. Maupay!”
“You sure plan ahead, Steven!”
Then, Steven led his men in retreat from Daemonic Mount.
Elias, Gale, and Frida released a breath of relief at that sight.
Elias said, “Joy is safe now.”
Gale agreed. “Yeah. Even I couldn’t find a flaw to the human skin mask with Joy’s face on it that you put on that kid’s face. Furthermore, the child couldn’t scream from being gagged. No one would’ve guessed that the Joy earlier was a fake.”
Still worried, Frida voiced, “Do you guys think they will find out? If we missed any flaws, they would be suspicious then. After all, someone had spread the news about the Seets being the owner of Girin Blood. That means someone knows the truth.”
Elias contemplated. “If that’s the case, we should relay some fake clues to them. We can make something up like the owner of Girin Blood is related to the principal families or some other family names, places, or organizations. With enough fake clues, they would be busy for a while and wouldn’t suspect Joy temporarily.”
“That’s right. We can mislead them with false clues. They will start doubting every rumor once they find out the clues are not credible. Moreover, they had seen for themselves that Joy’s blood was useless. So, they will probably wave off the information related to the Seets as a rumor. They might even give up after investigating for a few years.”
“Let’s hope that is the case.”
With the departure of those greedy for the treasure, the matter had come to a close momentarily.
Nicole brought Evan to town in search of a hypnotist to treat him.
The hypnotist couldn’t discern if artificial thoughts were planted in Evan’s mind under deep hypnosis. But he would try having Nicole narrate the memories Evan had forgotten while the latter was under deep hypnosis.
Evan agreed after contemplating briefly. His memories with Nicole were extremely precious to him, and he didn’t want to lose them.
Nicole held his hand. “I believe in you. I know you will get your memories back. It’s fine if you can’t. Don’t pressure yourself.”
“Okay.” Evan nodded.
There were a few steps to hypnosis. It began with a briefing on the entire process. The hypnotist would then guide the patient into a hypnotic state. Finally, waking the patient up after offering some guided suggestions.
To ensure a smooth process, the hypnotist led them to a quiet area. He requested Evan to settle on the chair comfortably. After a few deep breaths, he began to guide Evan into a relaxed state.
Once the hypnosis started, the hypnotist brought out a crystal ball and had Evan stare into it with an empty mind. He then guided Evan slowly with verbal cues.
“There is a ray of light shining on your head. You feel very comfortable and relaxed under this glow. This light slowly moves to shine down on your shoulder, leaving your shoulders relaxed.
It continues down to your chest, where your heart is. Your heart is beating in a steady rhythm. Your blood is flowing through your veins readily and comfortably. Maintain this relaxed state as the ray of light continues its descent.”
