Chapter 25 No.20 Act Five. Use Hypnosis to Defeat Hypnosis

It was cold, dark, and damp.

In the attic of Aimei Plastic Surgery Hospital, He Ling, whose head was simply bandaged, was tied up with nylon straps on her hands and feet, unable to move.

She felt dizzy in her brain, and her consciousness was vague.

Even, due to being restrained for too long, a stream of crystal saliva flowed from the corner of her mouth.

"Wait, this painting style is not right, are we such a cruel organization?"

Looking at He Ling's appearance, Bai Ge asked aloud.

Isn't this style of painting supposed to appear when some evil dark organization tortures a righteous female knight?

"So a temporary worker is a temporary worker. This is to prevent accidents. Do we have to give her food and drink?"

Old Tao, Tao Xuanran adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and said with a sneer, he came to the wooden table beside him, and on the table, in the open tool box, there were some things that made one's heart hurt just by looking at them.

A vise, chisel, drill, tweezers, screwdriver, and even a crowbar.

It's a pity that there are no friends and strange imprints.

"Do you still want to use such an exaggerated thing?"

Bai Ge was stunned.

"This is a tool that Huo forgot to put away. It is used to adjust my body."

Ai Lian explained, put away the toolbox as if nothing had happened, and put it in the corner of the room.

"So you still... adjust?"

Why does this word feel so strange.

Bai Ge glanced at the body of the alchemy puppet on the other side of the attic.

When I encountered the secret room before, the wreckage of Ai Lian that was destroyed by the explosion was piled up in the corner.In addition, there are combat bodies that were used when going to the abandoned factory, and other parts such as separate arms, heads, and legs.

It looks like a doll workshop.

If I saw it without knowing it, I'm afraid I would be quite frightened.

"Old Tao, let's start."

Ai Lian packed her things and called Tao Xuanran.

"Ah."

In the attic, there were only Baige, Ai Lian and Tao Xuanran, Tian Hong stayed in the shopping mall to distribute leaflets, and Lao Huo was downstairs chatting with customers, uh, the customer whose arms were thicker than Bai Ge's thighs in a skirt.

Bai Ge asked a special question, only to find out that the brother was not from the Department of Abyssal Relics Affairs.

too frightening.

Withdrawing his thoughts from downstairs, Bai Ge saw Tao Xuanran adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, pulled up a chair, and sat in front of He Ling.

In his hand, there is an emerald green crystal.

"It's artificially imitated, it's worthless, alas, it's old, and I still have to rely on these things to do things."

Noticing Bai Ge's gaze, Tao Xuanran explained.

"Are we supposed to keep her from, uh, from hypnotizing us?"

Bai Ge thought of the scene in the shopping mall. This kind of spiritual supernatural ability always makes people's hair stand on end.

"Don't worry, this little girl is 30 years too early in this regard."

Tao Xuanran smiled easily, and then, the crystal shook slightly in front of He Ling.

Accompanied by the shaking, He Ling's gaze, which was originally dull, gradually focused.

She stared at the crystal and fell into a dazed state.

"Is this hypnosis?"

Bai Ge asked about love in a low voice.

What Tao Xuanran is doing now is very similar to the hypnosis described in the movie novel.

Is it necessary to use hypnosis to defeat hypnosis?

"No, this is [Dialogue]."

"?"

Bai Ge didn't quite understand, but Tao Xuanran had already spoken.

"Are you an ascender?"

he asked.

He Ling's eyes were blurred, but she quickly moved. She shook her head and replied.

"I'm not an upgrader."

"But you have the extraordinary ability of an ascender, why is that?"

Tao Xuanran's tone was calm, if he didn't listen to the content, it would be like a dedicated psychiatrist communicating with a patient.

"It's a miracle, it's the potion of a miracle. After drinking that, I have extraordinary power."

Hearing the term in He Ling's mouth, Tao Xuanran and Ai Lian frowned slightly, they looked at each other, and Tao Xuanran continued to ask.

"Who gave you the potion?"

"Yes... Brother Long and the others gave it to me. I, I owed them money from gambling. They asked me to pay it back. I couldn't pay it back at all. Brother Long gave me this bottle of potion and asked me to steal the counter. something for them..."

Brother Long?

Who is this?

"Brother Long should be referring to Guo Long, he is a small leader of an illegal organization in Jingjiang."

Ai Lian whispered next to Bai Ge's ear.

Another illegal organization.

The current methods of debt collection by illegal organizations are too high-end.

"Tell me the time and place of the transaction you have previously set."

The green crystal in Tao Xuanran's hand shook a little more.

Just as He Ling was about to speak, suddenly, her whole body twitched violently, almost shaking her chair.

Tao Xuanran hurriedly supported the chair, only to see He Ling was foaming at the mouth, her eyes were rolling white, the ends of her body were stretched as far as she could, and then curled up quickly, as if she was suffering from a disease.

In the end, He Ling's legs stretched out, she kicked suddenly, and passed out.

Bright red blood flowed from her eyes, nostrils, ears, and mouth.

Tao Xuanran opened He Ling's eyelids to look at the slack pupils, and silently shook his head.

"Life is not a problem, people are useless."

After wiping his hands with a handkerchief, Tao Xuanran put away the crystal, sat on the chair, and sighed, his dark green eyes seemed to have dimmed a bit.

He finally took out a pack of crumpled cigarettes from the inner pocket of his jacket, took out one, lit it with a lighter, and took a deep breath.

Bai Ge, who has always disliked the smell of cigarettes, was also silent.

After a brief silence, Tao Xuanran spoke.

"That kind of medicine, although it can temporarily obtain supernatural powers, is all an illusion after all. This kind of superhuman powers puts a high burden on the body of ordinary people. It will take at most a week before the effect of the medicine will completely destroy the body. Even if it is a first-level ascendant, the effect of the medicine can only last for less than half a month, alas, she is not much better than a vegetable now, heh, how can miracles be free."

"Send her to our hospital later. It is estimated that she can only maintain her life, and there is nothing else to do."

Ai Lian glanced at He Ling, but didn't show much emotion, probably because she had seen it a lot.

Bai Ge was stunned, what happened just now was beyond his common sense, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Hehe, you saw it just now, it's one of my extraordinary abilities."

It was rare for Tao Xuanran to take the initiative to talk about his own affairs, maybe he was also affected by the atmosphere of a person's life being ruined in front of him.

"I'm an upgrader of the Creator Archetype's second rank, and the name of my rank is [Satireist]."

【Sarcasm】?

It sounds a bit like a stick.

Bai Ge secretly thought that Tao Xuanran's usual words were indeed quite mean.

"The basic transcendent abilities of this class include language provocation, speech skills, and speech. In short, most of them are related to language communication, which can make the ascended person's control over language different from ordinary people."

After adjusting his gold-rimmed glasses, Tao Xuanran continued.

"As for my name, it is Lucian. He is an essayist who lived in the Mediterranean in the old days. He created the literary genre of satirical dialogue novels. My two main supernatural abilities come from this. You just saw The ability obtained is called [Dialogue of the Dead], and information can be obtained from others through dialogue."

Bai Ge didn't study much history, and more knowledge was learned from playing mobile games, so he didn't have the slightest impression of the person Tao Xuanran mentioned.

"It's a pity that my reputation has only been half of it for so many years. Alas, Chaofan is so easy to control. Let alone, I will take this woman to the hospital."

Tao Xuanran cut the nylon cable tie, and together with Lao Huo, carried He Ling into his small broken car.

Seeing the vehicle leaving from the window on the second floor, Bai Ge felt a little emotional, and planned to go back tonight to find out who this Lucian was.

"Old Tao seems to like you quite a bit."

Ai Lian came to Bai Ge's side at some point, and said to herself.

"Like it? Didn't you see it?"

Bai Ge was a little puzzled.

"Haven't you noticed that the name of the ascended person is very important information, and no one will tell others about his name."

Love frowned and said.

"This......"

Bai Ge was speechless, thinking about it, it was true.

Even in mobile games, the names of most of the Ascended Characters are just guesswork and rarely confirmed. It is indeed rare for Tao Xuanran to tell Baige as frankly as he does.

So, even though Tao Xuanran still called him a temporary worker, he actually regarded Bai Ge as a teammate?

Thinking about it this way, I was a little moved.

"Okay, don't be in a daze, it's rare to get a clue, let's continue to investigate."

Ai Lian patted Bai Ge's shoulder, pulling him back to reality from the inexplicable emotion.
