The Shuojin Garden next to the meeting hall of Sun Chasing Palace is a well-known small royal garden of the royal family. The royal family will hold an afternoon tea here every week after the sacrifice, hosted by different members of the royal family. Be proud of it.

The garden is named Shuojin because as soon as you step into the garden, you can see groups of beautiful golden ibis flying in the air, and the golden wings are shining in the flight, as if carrying the light of God. , sacred and gorgeous, and there are large golden irises planted in the garden, which complement the extremely rare golden ibis. As soon as Shao Jun saw it, he couldn't take his eyes off the beautiful golden wings, and he liked it very much.

Today's afternoon tea is still full of guests and friends. Under the open-air white parasols, there are already many luxuriously dressed guests sitting in groups of sofas on the grass.

Singing sounds like the sounds of nature sounded from far away. The children of the church choir stood by the flower bed, singing the legendary story of God saving the world to the music of the harp and other instruments playing like gurgling water.

A blond boy with a voice as clear as a nightingale is serving as the lead singer. This is the only eunuch singer in the empire. In order to prolong the time of retaining this heaven-given singing voice, the church choir lures the families of these teenagers with amazing voices and coaxes the children Before the voice-changing period comes, voluntarily be "pure" forever, in exchange for the voice that is said to be closest to God, and serve the Holy See and the royal family for life in exchange for generous rewards for the family.

Ke Xia led Shao Jun straight into the tea room where the emperor was resting in the inner hall. Ke Hua was wearing a loose gold-rimmed robe and blond hair. He was leaning on an armchair and chatting with a priest of the church. Seeing him come in, he smiled. Said: "Here you come? Is this your favorite cutie recently?" He looked at Shao Jun, Shao Jun met him with ignorant and dark eyes, and Ke Hua smiled slightly: "It's a rare hair color and eye color. There is a sense of timelessness and coldness, and Ke Xia's taste is still very different."

Ke Xia said: "Have you seen it? If you have seen it, I will take him out for a walk and come to see you later."

Ke Hua liked his intimate intimacy, and said with a smile, "Go, people outside don't know I'm here, today is hosted by the fourth princess, I didn't let her stay here with me, she also hugged you when she was a child, You go and see her first."

Ke Xia said: "Okay." Then he got up and took Shao Jun out again, and led him to a very beautiful glass aviary, where there were many young golden ibis birds with pure white The body and the wings that have not yet fully grown are covered with light golden fluff, and the chick is even a small group of light golden fluffy birds, singing softly with bright yellow soft beaks.

Shao Jun was really fascinated by it. He stared at the extremely soft and cute little birds for a moment, with dark mung bean-like eyes, light golden fluff balls, tender little paws, and slightly opened mouth. He couldn't believe it. There are such cute creatures in this world.

Ke Xia whispered: "Is it fun? You play here."

Shao Jun nodded his head, his eyes were still fascinated by the little fluffy golden ibis chicks crowded together inside, Ke Xia's eyes flashed a hint of amusement, he nodded, left Shao Jun there quietly, and walked along Follow the golden kite and walk forward.

Walking to a gazebo, he saw an old man with silvery beard and hair like frost sitting there squinting his eyes and painting beside the golden irises. He walked over curiously and saw that the old man turned out to be an ordinary bee in the heart of the flower.

The old man looked up and saw him, and smiled kindly: "It's Prince Ke Xia."

Ke Xia was surprised: "The old gentleman recognizes me?"

The old man said: "I am also a member of the alliance, so I naturally recognize you, the former marshal of the alliance."

Ke Xia was startled: "Are you from the Alliance?"

The old man smiled: "That's right, the Imperial Royal Academy hired me as an honorary doctor and provided me with very favorable experimental conditions, so I have lived in the Empire for a long time."

Ke Xia asked modestly: "Dare to ask the old gentleman's name?"

The old man said: "My humble Siri."

Ke Xia has already reacted quickly: "Ah, you are Dr. Desiree, the master student of Rodin, the father of Skynet, I'm sorry and disrespectful."

Desiree smiled kindly: "I know what you're thinking, it's not that Dr. Desiree seems to be about [-] years old, why is he old now."

Ke Xia said: "I'm ashamed, I've heard so before."

Dr. Xi Rui said: "In the past two years, I have consumed too much mind and energy, and I have a premonition that my lifespan is approaching, and human lifespan is still limited. I originally came to the Empire because of His Majesty Ke Ji invited him to study how to prolong his lifespan and sort out his violent mental power, but unfortunately, he failed. Now His Majesty Ke Hua believes in theology, believes in the destiny, and is not very keen on science, and he is also very young, probably It’s almost time for me to return to the league.”

Ke Xia said: "There are indeed better research conditions in the alliance, and it's good to go back."

Dr. Xi Rui shook his head: "There are too many rules in the alliance, there are many factions, and conflicts of interests are fierce. Of course, I will not break through ethics, but according to the current situation of the alliance, I can neither concentrate on researching a certain topic nor try some. Compared with new experimental methods, my time is limited. If the alliance wastes a lot of time on experimental project demonstrations, dealing with different interest groups, seeking sponsorship and other impure chores, I will not be able to focus on research. "

"In the past ten years in the empire, I can concentrate on researching related topics without worrying about funding issues, and I don't need to apply for applications, solicit sponsorship, and demonstrate the legitimacy of my project over and over again. My project has made great progress. Breakthrough——Unfortunately, His Majesty Ke Ji's mental power has collapsed and become too mutilated..."

Ke Xia was noncommittal, just smiled, and Dr. Desiree looked at him and said sincerely: "I'm sorry, I know a little about His Royal Highness, the regret I said is just a regret in scientific research projects, and has no other meaning."

Ke Xia nodded: "The old man concentrates on scientific research and has a straightforward personality. If there is any need for me to help in the future, just ask."

Dr. Desiree calmly said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness, but I should be going back soon."

But Ke Xia asked very humbly: "Actually, there is something I want to ask the doctor about."

Dr. Desiree said, "Your Highness, please tell me."

Ke Xia asked: "Dr. Desiree is a senior student of Rodin, the father of Skynet. He must have done some research on spiritual suggestion and hypnosis, right?"

Dr. Xi Rui was stunned: "It's a dabble. When we try to sort out and relieve the violent mental power, we will consider hypnosis and suggestion to appease the patients whose mental power tends to collapse, and restore them to calm."

Ke Xia said: "So, is it possible that some people, for ulterior purposes, hinted at and drove certain people to achieve illegal purposes, such as hypnotizing certain people to give away property and the like."

Dr. Xi Rui said with a smile: "The mental power is much higher than the other party's, can form a suppressive situation, and if you master the mental power hypnosis method, it is possible to instruct the other party to do the specified things in a short period of time. However, this needs to be very familiar with the hypnotized person. It needs to be unexpected and the effect is very short. In addition, if the hypnotized person has relatives, friends, elders, etc., such hypnosis and hints will be broken. The alliance law is sound, and if the other party does not cooperate, it is very difficult to do. , it can only be said that the actual operation is very difficult.”

Ke Xia continued to ask: "So, how do you know if you have been hypnotized?"

Xi Rui thought deeply: "It is difficult for the hypnotized person to find out by himself, but if there are inexplicable memory recalls, flashbacks, inexplicable fading, forgetting, and cognitive contradictions of certain memories, then confirm with the people involved in the incident. , can be found."

Ke Xia said: "Do you think a person who is proficient in hypnosis can force someone to forget a very close relative? The kind of relative who used to get along day and night and accompany him all the year round."

Siri laughed dumbfounded: "Impossible, impossible, according to your prince, the key to this kind of hypnosis is selectivity, appointing a person to forget, and everything related to this person, forcibly implying forgetting, this is too difficult , even almost tampering with memory, which is extremely difficult and easy to detect for hypnosis. All recalled because of a certain opportunity.”

"Although it is difficult for a hypnotist to do it, the human brain is an extremely sophisticated and magical organ. In medicine, there is such a medical history of the brain. After a brain impact, someone forgets a certain person and everything related to him. It is called selective amnesia in medicine, but in fact these memories still exist, and we can awaken these hidden subconscious memories through mental therapy."

Ke Xia fell into deep thought, and Siri asked curiously, "Does Your Highness suspect that he has been hypnotized? Or has he seen such a hypnosis?"

Ke Xia raised his eyes: "The doctor means, you can try to treat this kind of selective amnesia?"

Xi Rui said: "I have had many treatments in this area with the teacher in the past. If Your Highness is interested, we can make an appointment to try it out."

Ke Xia didn't speak, but the communicator on Xi Rui's wrist suddenly rang. Dr. Xi Rui said with a smile: "My student is looking for me, and it's time to take the medicine, so I'll take my leave first. If your Highness is free, you can talk to me." connect."

Ke Xia nodded, helped Dr. Desiree politely, and sent him to the exit. He watched his students come forward and hug him away before looking at his back thoughtfully.

Then he heard the soft and excited cheers of the children, he turned his head and saw the scene on the grass on the side of the garden, his face darkened immediately.

On the soft green lawn beside the golden irises, countless colorful soap bubbles are floating in the air, several girls in lace organza skirts, noble ladies and several beautiful children surround a black-haired boy, the children All eyes were staring at the bubble ring in the boy's hand.

The black-haired boy took a deep breath and then blew out a long breath into the bubble circle, blowing out a colorful and huge bubble. This bubble was even heart-shaped, as big as a heart-shaped colorful balloon full of air, trembling slowly. Breaking away from the bubble circle, it fluttered and flew into the air.

All the children cheered again. The girls covered their lips with lace fans, pursed their lips reservedly and watched the black-haired boy laugh, and the children shouted loudly: "One more! One more!"

The black-haired boy seems to be very good at this, like a natural master of coaxing children, he held up the bubble ring and blew again, the bubble ring in his hand quickly swayed in accordance with the wind, and this time he blew out a large cluster of densely packed The little bubbles that were squeezed and scrambled rushed straight into the sky.

The children cheered deafeningly, and one after another, noble ladies with children were attracted and approached.

Among the colorful bubbles in the sky, the black-haired boy turned his head and saw Ke Xia. His eyes lit up and he blew out a long series of bubbles in a very ostentatious way. This time all the bubbles were heart-shaped, many crystal clear hearts Small bubbles rise up in strings and float in the air, like a dream.

The young man stretched his hand through the crystal glass hearts blown by the wind, and turned his head to look at Ke Xia eagerly as if to show his merit, smiling sweetly and proudly.
