Chapter 26 Section 1

"Take medicine." A palm is spread out in front of the eyes, and there are two white pills in the palm. Si Miao stared at the pill for a long time with a puzzled expression, then stretched out her fingers to twist it, put it in her mouth, and took it with the water in the enamel cup. Aixinjueluo Ning on the side suddenly said: "Doctor Sha, do you think it is possible to reduce the dosage of Si Miao's medicine appropriately, for example, only take one tablet each time?" Sha Li stared at her with icy eyes, "It's your turn to heal." After hitting a soft nail, Ning was a little embarrassed, and quickly adjusted her breathing to calm down—before starting hypnotherapy, the hypnotist must not fluctuate in emotion.

Ning folded the pillow and the quilt together, let Si Miao lean against her comfortably, and then said very gently: "Sister Si Miao, last time you told me that you only remembered to walk in the gate when you heard about what happened in the lakeside building. And then it's dark, isn't it?" "Yes." Si Miao said softly, "There is another word that keeps floating in my mind..." "Lake water?" Ning asked tentatively. Si Miao nodded. Ning asked: "Do you think it's just the word 'lake' that comes to mind, or do some vague images remind you of this word?"

Si Miao bit her lip and frowned, looking very troubled. "If you can't think of it, don't think about it." Ning closed the curtains, and the room suddenly turned into a warm light yellow, and then she sat beside Si Miao and said, "Relax, you relax first, lie down, evenly Breathing...well, good. Now, you imagine the situation as I described...the blue sky, the vastness, a breeze blowing your temples, you are tired, weary, lying on the lawn, looking up There is a pure white cloud, the cloud is flowing gently, like a wave on the sea, rippling..." At this time, Ning put her snow-white left hand about ten centimeters away from Si Miao's eyelid, and kept her thumb upright. The remaining four slender fingers stretched, curled up, stretched again, and curled up again. Soon, there was a very slight rustling sound, and it gradually slowed down, slowing down, like the rolling of waves, and the blinking of long eyelashes.Si Miao's eyelids drooped little by little, and finally half closed, obviously sinking into a trance state.

"Si Miao, is the grass soft?" Ning asked softly. "Soft..." Si Miao's red lips parted slightly, and she responded as if whispering. This indicates that the introduction stage is completed, and Ning breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, you are lying on the soft grass, and you feel very comfortable all over your body. I will take care of you by your side and pave the way for a sweet dream for you. When you count down from 10 to 0, you will fall asleep... 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0... everything outside is gone, it doesn't exist, Only me and my voice are left to accompany you. Next, you will listen to my instructions unconditionally like a lover, and act according to my instructions."

Si Miao's body trembled slightly, and then completely relaxed. "This... is this hypnotized?" Sha Li asked in surprise, suddenly realized that her voice had broken the quiet atmosphere in the room, and quickly covered her mouth. "It's okay, she can't hear you even if you play rock music now." Ning smiled, "She has already entered a deep hypnosis, and any other nerve noises won't help. Next, I will try to slowly wake up her memory... Please. Do you want to make a record?" Sha Li reluctantly picked up the pen and paper. Ning bent slightly, her face was closer to Si Miao, her voice was very low, but she said very clearly: "Si Miao, I am you, and you are me—repeat."

"I am you, you are me..." Si Miao said dreamily. Ning continued: "I walked into the gate of the lakeside building. Except for me and the six people from Jianyi's company, the whole hotel is empty and there is no one else." "No one else..." Si Miao repeated. "Let's get ready for dinner first..." Ning just said this, and found that Si Miao's brows frowned, and immediately knew that her guess was wrong, and Si Miao's subconscious mind was producing resistance, so she immediately changed her hint, "But we are not hungry, I was assigned to a room and stayed, and my feeling at this moment was—" Ning stopped abruptly.

Si Miao went on to say: "It's cold, I have a fever, I've got a cold..." Ning immediately continued, "I was lying on the bed. After a while, someone came to ask me to eat—" the voice stopped abruptly again. Si Miao then said: "It's Tong Dali, she came to ask me to eat. But I'm very sad, I won't go downstairs to eat, you guys eat first, I want to sleep for a while... It's cold..." Ning went on to say: "So, I covered the quilt and fell asleep, and woke up feeling a little more comfortable..." Si Miao frowned again, resisting the reaction.

Ning quickly switched hints, "I want to sleep, but I can't, so I watched it for a while—" She was hesitating whether to read a book or watch TV, when she noticed that Si Miao's eyelids were trembling, and her antagonistic reaction intensified! Oops!This proved to be wrong again!Ning changed her hint again, "I still tried to lie down and sleep, and when I woke up I still felt cold—" This time, not only the eyelids, Si Miao's whole body twitched violently like an electric shock, especially the five fingers, stretched apart, as if they were about to break! "What's going on?" Sha Li also knew a little about hypnotism, "What happened next? Why did she look so painful?!"

Concentrating on thinking, she stared at Si Miao's face, like a magnifying glass focusing the sunlight on a single point... It is necessary to give an accurate hint as soon as possible, otherwise Si Miao may wake up suddenly at any time - this is the key to hypnotism. It is a big taboo, which will cause severe physical and psychological discomfort to the subject, just like being picked up from the bed by someone holding their hair in their sleep, which will inevitably cause great distrust of the hypnotist and affect the subsequent treatment. Woman, woman, what causes a woman like Si Miao to suffer such great pain and resistance?

Could it be... Ning made up her mind to take a gamble this time. She stared at Si Miao and said word by word: "When I was asleep, a man broke into my room..." Sha Li couldn't help but gasped! right? Si Miao's body is still twitching, but her eyelids are no longer trembling, her face is as pale as a layer of snow, slightly tilted to one side, as if unwilling to face anything. Counterpoint!It means that Ning's hint guessed correctly. "Who is that person?" Ning's voice was a little hurried, "Who is that person?" Si Miao's face tilted to the other side again, still avoiding in pain.

"Scented tea, fragrant tea..." Si Miao called softly. "Lin Xiangming?" Sha Li was taken aback, "How is this possible?" Ning observed carefully, shook her head and said: "She didn't say that the person who broke into the room was Xiangming, but she was asking for help from the person she loves the most - I can't force her anymore, let me wake her up first." Si Miao said slowly: "I am you, you are me, I must firmly remember the following words, no matter what happens, I cannot escape, otherwise the pain will never end, I must try hard to remember, the crime can be solved .” Ning said the words "can be cracked" very seriously. "Repeat." Ning said while grabbing Si Miao's hand. Si Miao still repeated like a dream: "No matter what happens, I can't escape, otherwise the pain will never end, I have to work hard to remember, and the crime can be solved." "Very well, now, I have been asleep for a long time, I will count from 0 to 10, and then slowly open my eyes, a butterfly with white wings is flying in front of my eyes, I will slowly wake up with it... ..." Ning began to count: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and at the exit of "10", the four fingers of her left hand were thinking like magic flowers. Curling up, stretching, curling up, stretching in front of Miao's eyelids... Si Miao finally woke up. The first thing she did after waking up was to hug herself tightly with both arms, trembling. "Sister Si Miao, what's wrong with you?" Ning was a little puzzled. "Cold." Liu Simiao said. "The incomplete reaction of peeling off." Ning said, "The memory fragments from the hypnosis still have some remnants in her mind. It doesn't matter, is there a warm water bottle? Give her one." "Hot water, I want hot water." "I can give her a thermos." Sha Li laughed sarcastically. Back in the infirmary, Sha Li said to Ning: "It seems that after Liu Simiao arrived at the lakeside building, she was not feeling well, so she lay down to sleep, and then a man entered her room and insulted her... " Ning frowned, "Doctor Sha, Si Miao didn't say that the man insulted her, such a guess is very irresponsible. In my opinion, let's make a record of our diagnosis and treatment today." "It's not your turn to teach me how to do it!" Sha Li glared at her. Ning ignored her, and looked at the phone that was muted just now during the treatment. There were eight missed calls, seven of which were from Chu Tianying, and one was from Guo Xiaofen.She hurriedly called Chu Tianying first, and Chu Tianying kept apologizing and said it was nothing serious, she just wanted to ask about Si Miao's situation.Since the treatment is still in progress, Ning did not disclose too much news.Then she called Guo Xiaofen again, Guo Xiaofen said that she was downstairs in the hospital and came to visit Si Miao. "What are you visiting? This is not a zoo. What's there to see!" Sha Li said angrily when she heard that Guo Xiaofen was here. Ning had no choice but to go downstairs alone to find Guo Xiaofen. Guo Xiaofen was pacing at the entrance of the building thinking about something, when she saw that she had calmed down, her eyes could not help but light up: this girl has only applied a light amount of makeup, a pair of almond eyes under the single eyelid, the black pupils emit a faint light.She was wearing an academic-style green woolen jacket, a long black vest, and a pair of black high-waisted trousers on her lower body to hide her slender figure, making her look dignified and elegant. This place is located in the suburbs, not to mention coffee shops and teahouses, not even a decent restaurant nearby.Looking at his watch, it was almost noon, so he dragged Guo Xiaofen to the cafeteria of the Mental Health Appraisal Center for dinner. "It's nice to be young." After the two sat facing each other, Guo Xiaofen praised Ning jealously, "Look at you, you still can't hide your beauty with such a formal dress." "It's purely for hypnosis, and you can't dress too fancy." Ning smiled lightly, "Sister Guo, you are the most beautiful woman in the capital's reporter circle, don't you want me to praise you?" "Where is it, I stay up late every day, you see my eye circles are always dark." Guo Xiaofen laughed. "Biotherm has launched a new radiant purifying eye cream, which is particularly effective in removing dark circles, and the price is also cheap. You can try it. Helena's Ultimate Beauty Essence Eye Cream is also good. It has more functions, but it is suitable for People who are older can use it." Ning is like a few treasures. "I don't know, but I thought you were selling cosmetics." Guo Xiaofen chuckled, then put on a solemn expression, "How is Si Miao's situation?" "Still recovering." Then, Ning described the treatment in the morning in detail. Guo Xiaofen was very surprised after hearing this, "Could it be that, as Sha Li guessed, someone took advantage of Si Miao's illness and insulted her..." Ning remained silent for a long time before she raised her head and asked, "Sister Guo, based on your understanding of Si Miao, what will happen to Si Miao if that kind of thing really happens?" "Si Miao will kill people!" Guo Xiaofen blurted out. The sound was so loud that people in the cafeteria all looked sideways.Guo Xiaofen felt her heart beating wildly in her chest, so she had to turn her head to look out the window to calm down.There is a white cement pool in the middle of the cold courtyard, and there are countless pieces of withered yellow leaves floating on the water, just like a reflection of a broken wall, "Si Miao has a very strong temper, how can she bear it, how can she bear it... " Ning comforted: "Sister Guo, Si Miao only recalls that a man broke into her room. We don't know what happened next, so don't worry, I have to find a way to wake up as soon as possible." The memory of Si Miao's next stage." These words reassured Guo Xiaofen a lot, however, in an instant, she saw a heavy and hesitant flash in Ning's expression. "What's wrong?" Guo Xiaofen asked. "Huh?" Ning was taken aback, "It's nothing..." "Don't lie to me, let alone underestimate my eyesight, don't forget that I'm a reporter." Guo Xiaofen stared at her, "Is there something wrong with Si Miao's treatment?" "Maybe it's not a problem at all." Ning blushed a little, looking unconvinced, "I have already suggested to Dr. Sha Li several times that we should appropriately reduce the dose of propranolol for Si Miao—that is, beta receptor blockers. The drug was discontinued, but she didn't listen at all." "It's the little white pill that Sha Li forced Si Miao to take?" Guo Xiaofen immediately recalled, "Is there any problem with that medicine?" "No problem, it's just not symptomatic at all." Ning said, "Generally speaking, if the level of norepinephrine increases, it will trigger intrusive memories. According to this principle, if the level of norepinephrine is reduced by some kind of drug , it can make people immersed in fearful memories and unable to extricate themselves, restore stable emotions - propranolol is such a drug." Guo Xiaofen didn't understand, "Then, what is the specific function of this medicine?" "Let's put it this way, this drug is mainly used in two situations in Western developed countries: one is to take propranolol before the disaster relief personnel are about to enter the accident site, which can prevent them from having a long-term memory of the horror scene; The second type is people who have suffered great trauma, such as veterans returning from the battlefield, survivors rescued from the scene of a fire, giving them propranolol can prevent them from being entangled in painful memories..." "Wait a minute." Guo Xiaofen understood this time, "You mean, the drug Propranolol will not help restore memory, on the contrary, it will make Si Miao forget the tragedy that happened in the lakeside building?" Ning nodded, "You can look up the relevant information of Propranol on the Internet later, and you will know that what I said is true or false." Guo Xiaofen's eyes froze for a moment, "Why did she do this? Why did she do this?" Ning was silent, it was useless to talk too much at this time.After a long time, Guo Xiaofen bit her lip hard, stood up and said, "Ning, I have something to do this afternoon, so I'll be leaving first... Si Miao will leave it to you, and I'll find out the rest."
