Chapter 427: Uncle be gentle 04_1

“I would like to ask you some questions.”

Baili Xia walked over, closed the door, and strode to Nangong Xu’s side.

Nangong Xu didn’t speak, just waiting for her explanation.

After a moment of thought, Baili Xia asked, “Mr.

Nangong, is it possible to undo hypnotism?”

“That depends on the type of hypnotism.”

Nangong Xu’s gaze returned to his notebook, still engrossed in the report.

Distracted, he answered her, “There are many kinds of hypnotism in the world.

You must at least tell me the symptoms first.

Is it used to control the person’s behavior, to make them obey the hypnotizer’s commands for a period of time?”

“No.” Baili Xia shook her head.

She considered Dongfang Jin’s condition that day, remembering the words Lu Xuening had told her.

After a while, she looked at Nangong Xu and asked, “If a person is hypnotized to forget an event that occurred, or even convinced that a different event took place, is there a way to undo such hypnotism?”

“If it’s just hypnotism, you just have to recreate the event in front of them.

Most of the time, this will break the hypnotism.”

Nangong Xu finally glanced at her, then returned his gaze to his work.

His appealing lips moved slightly, sounding like the deep, magnetic note of a cello string, and began to answer again.

“Most hypnotism will wear off with time.

There’s no need to panic.”

“What if it doesn’t wear off for a whole year?” Baili Xia asked anxiously.

Nangong Xu’s long fingers on the keyboard hesitated briefly, finally frowning and looking at her.

“That would depend on the willpower of the person being hypnotized.”

He studied the expression on Baili Xia’s face, a questioning look in his eyes.

“Are you planning on using hypnotism to harm someone, or has someone already been harmed?”

“I…” Baili Xia hesitated, unsure of whether she should tell him what happened.

Nangong Xu didn’t press her, deciding not to push if she was unwilling to speak.

“I have a friend who was hypnotized to forget many things.

I hope I can help him recover his memory.”

“Then you can go to him, and explain to him what happened that day.”

“He doesn’t believe me.

If he did, none of this would have happened.” She sounded somewhat disheartened.

Nangong Xu again said indifferently, “Even if he doesn’t believe, he should have some doubts, unless your friend’s willpower is really so weak that he can’t even entertain a slight possibility…”

“He… he is the eldest son of the Dongfang Family.” Baili Xia whispered.

This time, Nangong Xu was genuinely surprised.

Again he looked at Baili Xia, a slight frown on his face, seemingly reluctant to believe her words.

“If you really know Dongfang Jin, you should know that he is not the kind of person who is easily bewitched.”

“What if he was drugged before being hypnotized?”

Lu Xuening had suggested this, but Xia was unsure of the specifics.

Nangong Xu deliberated: “Then perhaps the drug is mostly to blame.

I remember coming across a similar drug before.”

“Upon injection, the drug induces hallucinations.

Hypnosis given at this state…

“In such a case, perhaps during the hypnosis, those memories would be deeply etched into the person’s subconscious, leading them to take them as the truth, to believe that only the memories during hypnosis are real.”

Baili Xia clenched her small fist.

What Nangong Xu described were so similar to Jin’s symptoms!
