Xiao Shu had parked his car on the side of the road for a long time. When he saw them appear, he quickly got out of the car and opened the door. He Cheng bent down and crawled into the back seat. Chu Xingyun sat next to him and asked Xiao Shu: "Which hypnotist did you make an appointment?"

Xiao Shu drove the car to the main and said, "Mr. He used to be a psychologist."

Chu Xingyun quickly realized that what he said was Dr. Li, who had been hacked into the computer by Xia Xinghan and stole customer information.

Despite the last accident, Dr. Li was also a well-deserved benchmark in the industry, and her psychological diagnosis and treatment included hypnosis. She had suggested to the confused He Cheng before to distinguish chaotic memories through hypnosis, but He Cheng refused anyone at that time and was evasive and did not accept it.

Now when He Cheng decided to let himself undergo hypnosis, the first thing he thought of was her.

On the way to Dr. Li's studio, Chu Xingyun didn't know how He Cheng was feeling. Anyway, he was getting more and more nervous, even more nervous than He Cheng who would be hypnotized later.

Xiao Shu parked the car in the parking lot. Chu Xingyun opened the car door and got out, but He Cheng did not see him come out.

He bent down and looked into the car. He saw He Cheng sitting in the car, his arms on his knees, holding his hands together against his forehead, burying his head and wondering what he was thinking.

Sure enough, this was still too difficult for him.

Just when Chu Xingyun wanted to take him away, He Cheng suddenly got out of the car, looked at the towering office building with a pale face, and walked towards the entrance without saying a word.

A staff member who recognized He Cheng took them to Dr. Li's office. He was over forty years old and still had a young age. The gentle and elegant woman had been waiting for a long time. When she saw them walking in, she also stood up to greet her.

He Cheng shook hands with her, said a few words, then turned his eyes to Chu Xingyun who was standing aside, and said, "It is mainly to cooperate with the police to investigate the explosion last night, so I hope he will ask me a question later."

Chu Xingyun then realized that He Cheng was not putting his guard against others. He still believed in him and decided to let him hypnotize him.

He suddenly began to feel nervous. This feeling of tension was like walking through the sea of ​​fire with a very easily broken glass bottle and leaping on the tip of the knife. He was careful and trembling, fearing that the bottle would not be taken off and would fall to pieces.

Dr. Li said to Chu Xingyun as if he had expected it, "Then you must be Officer Chu."

When Chu Xingyun learned that he had been entrusted with important tasks by He Cheng, he tried his best to remain calm and shook hands with Dr. Li and listened to her talk about some precautions.

"Then let's start."

As he said that, Dr. Li raised his hand and pointed to a recliner placed beside the floor-to-ceiling window.

He Cheng took off his windbreaker and handed it to Xiao Shu. Xiao Shu hung his clothes on his arm, then handed Chu Xingyun a meaningful look and opened the door and went out.

Dr. Li pulled up the screen windows of the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the room was in a claustrophobic dimness.

Chu Xingyun stood next to He Cheng like a bystander. He saw him sitting on the recliner, unbuttoning the two buttons on the collar of his shirt, then closed his eyes and took a deep breath, saying, "Let's start."

Dr. Li sat on a single sofa, crossing his legs, and a note board was placed on his legs.

"Mr. He, then we're starting."

Dr. Li asked softly.

"good."

He Chengdao.

Dr. Li looked at Chu Xingyun again and nodded slightly to him.

Chu Xingyun squatted on the ground with one knee, grabbed He Cheng's left hand, and noticed the slightly cold sweat on his skin. He looked at his face and said in a tone of coaxing the child: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

He Cheng's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he clenched his fingers silently.

Like an ordinary chat, Dr. Li asked him a few simple and easy-to-answer questions. He Cheng gradually relaxed through her guidance, and as the topic deepened, he slowly accepted it and obeyed her guidance.

Chu Xingyun kept paying attention to He Cheng's condition. Although he knew nothing about psychology, he could see that He Cheng was gradually removing his guard. His slightly frown brows gradually stretched, his face became more and more relaxed, and his tone of answering questions became more and more relaxed, and he became more and more erratic. It was like talking to Dr. Li in a dream.

To his expectations, he did not expect He Cheng to enter a deep hypnosis so quickly.

"What clothes were you wearing last night when you attended the banquet?"

Dr. Li asked.

He Cheng's always low and breathless voice sounded extremely loose and erratic at this moment, like a light breeze coming and going.

“Jenia’s custom suit.”

“Who will join with?”

"Zhou Quliang."

Dr. Li asked Chu Xingyun for the correct answer with his eyes.

Chu Xingyun nodded slightly to her.

Dr. Li started the next step of guidance: "Mr. He, we are going out to attend the banquet now. Do you still remember where the banquet was held?"

He Cheng said: "State Bin Building."

"Yes, State Guest Building, you are standing outside the banquet hall of State Guest Building now. There is a door in front of you. Did you see it?"

"See it."

"When you push the door open, you go back to the banquet hall, it's safe, there are many people, and your partner Zhou Quliang is inside. Now, push the door open and go in and find him."

Dr. Li's voice gradually weakened until he disappeared, and then he handed Chu Xingyun a look and told him that he could ask questions at any time.

Chu Xingyun felt He Cheng holding his hand and gradually withdrew his strength. He Cheng's eyes were constantly turning under his closed eyes, as if he entered another space, a space with a golden and shiny scented scent, and saw everyone who attended the banquet last night...

Chu Xingyun suddenly felt dry mouth, pursed his dry lower lip, looked at He Cheng motionlessly, and asked, "Have you found Zhou Quliang?"

A moment later, he heard He Cheng say, "Finished."

As if he had successfully tried the water, Chu Xingyun breathed a sigh of relief, his tone was no longer so tense. He tried to keep his voice softer and asked again: "Where is he?"

"Stand with me at the first floor bar."

"Did you see the mayor's secretary speak on the stage?"

"Um."

"It's boring, right? Why don't you take a look at the southwest corner of the second floor, next to the crystal display stand."

“……The second floor, no one.”

Chu Xingyun tried hard to stabilize his disordered heartbeat and kept a calm tone: "Has there been no one? Don't look away."

He Cheng frowned slightly and said, "I don't know, I want to go to the bathroom up the second floor."

"Okay, then you leave the first floor now, go to the second floor, and tell me everything you do and everything you see."

He Cheng suddenly fell into a long silence, and the room was quiet only the ticking sound from the pocket watch in Dr. Li's hand.

Just when he thought he had failed and He Cheng was about to escape from the illusion and return to reality, he suddenly heard He Cheng's extremely light voice, as light as a gentle breeze.

"I'm on the second floor now - there's no one on the second floor. I saw a crystal display stand erected in the southwest corner, and there was a very beautiful crystal ball on the display stand."

Chu Xingyun hurriedly said, "Look clearly, is there really no one on the second floor? 'He's probably a waiter."

He Cheng's eyebrows slightly frowned, as if he was repulsive of his problem and felt uncomfortable, and he shook his head gently.

Chu Xingyun asked again: "Then you keep moving forward, have you heard the sound?"

He Cheng fell into silence again, a hint of panic suddenly appeared on his face, his frowning brows trembled constantly, and his breath was unstable: "I turned left by the crystal rack. In the corridor to the bathroom, I heard the sound of a child coming from behind, which was the voice of a boy."

Children? Where did the children come from the banquet?

Chu Xingyun grabbed his hand, and before he knew it, he was already sweating profusely. He stared at his closed eyes and said, "Look back, He Cheng, look back."

He Cheng suddenly gritted his teeth, his jaw tightened, his expression became more anxious, and a sweat suddenly oozed out of his forehead. He clenched his fists as if he wanted to break free, and said in a trembling voice: "That boy, just a back. I saw a woman in a chef's uniform calling him behind him."

"Who is it? His mother?"

He Cheng's breath became more and more broken, like a breath of residual energy hanging in his chest. His white lips pursed for several times before he made a difficult sentence: "Yes, it's his mother."

Chu Xingyun pressed his shoulder: "What else have you seen?"

He Cheng seemed to have forgotten who the person beside him was. Chu Xingyun's touch made him twist and struggle like crazy. "No light, no light! I can't see anything, I only hear-"

Plop.

He Cheng suddenly stopped struggling and suddenly opened his eyes. His face was like white wax and his eyes were like a stagnant wood.

Chu Xingyun thought he had woken up, but he only saw the emptiness and confusion in his eyes, and the darkness and confusion that fell into the bottom of the abyss.

With a thud, the sound of the crystal ball falling to the ground.

He grabbed He Cheng's hand and clearly noticed that his body temperature had faded like a flood discharge. His hands were soaked in cold water, wet and cold. He Cheng's body was stiff, his whole body was lying there coldly, his eyes as if they were frozen without any anger, like... a corpse.

"He Cheng?He Cheng!"

Chu Xingyun touched his face, shook his shoulders, and called his name, but he was indifferent.

Seeing this, Dr. Li hurried over and pushed him away from He Cheng. The woman's insignificant force easily pushed him aside, and even almost pushed him down.

Chu Xingyun knelt on the ground with his knees, looking at He Cheng who seemed to have died, and suddenly felt that his whole body's strength was leaking like a tide, and he could not support the weight of his body at any time and fell down.

"Mr. He, now you leave the banquet hall and return to the door. I will count five times, and you will push the door open again, one, two, three, four, five."

Dr. Li's voice fell lightly, and He Cheng's dark eyes trembled slightly, as if a ray of light was injected into it, filling his empty and dispersed pupils.

He felt like he had a dream, gradually awakening from the dream, and his first sentence he said after regaining consciousness was: "Is it over?"

He turned to look at Chu Xingyun and asked.

Chu Xingyun squatted beside him and held his hand tightly: "Yeah, it's over."

Chu Xingyun's hands were colder than him and were still trembling. He Cheng turned his head and looked at him quietly for a moment: "You seem to be very scared, what did I say just now?"

Chu Xingyun pulled a strand of his hair that was soaked with sweat on his forehead, and laughed short and dull: "You almost scared me to death. Don't you remember what you said just now?"
