Do not disturb the evil spirits [Unlimited]

The thick darkness hit like overwhelming, making Si Qingxuan lose his mind for a moment.

He seemed to be wrapped in heavy mud, his limbs were very heavy, and an indescribable stench lingered from the tip of his nose.

Si Qingxuan raised his head impatiently, and activated his judgment talent.

The surrounding darkness stretched infinitely in front of him like a resilient curtain.Judgment talent has torn the "curtain" in front of him countless times, but the "curtain" can always repair those damages silently.

Si Qingxuan is now sure that the darkness in front of him is indeed something tangible; but this darkness cannot be cut off with a sharp weapon.

Darkness cannot be torn apart with a sharp weapon... so can light dispel it?

That thought just flashed by, and the system coordinated and summoned the Illusory Library.The moon phase pocket watch he had seen last time fell into his arms with a star-like gleam.

[You can use Yuanyue's light to dispel these darkness.Yuanyue is hidden in your dream temple—the place where you met the disciples last time. 】

[Go to the Temple of Dreams and bring out a ray of light.The exact process is the same as what you experienced last time.But let me remind you once again: pay attention to the remaining time on the moon phase watch. 】

Si Qingxuan's eyelashes trembled slightly.

He unscrewed the cover of the moon phase watch.

A mysterious white mist rose around him again...even the thick darkness couldn't block the mist.

Holding the pocket watch in his hand, Si Qingxuan walked towards the end of the white mist.

He knew that there would be a temple with moonlight waiting for him.

……

the other end.

The darkness brought Lin Chu a brief sense of weightlessness.

When he stabilized his figure and opened his eyes again - he found that he had actually passed through the locked door and came to the passageway of the cinema!

Hell, didn't he get swallowed by those black things?

Lin Chu looked behind him dumbfounded: It was still the white door, but it was open, and it didn't look like it was locked with heavy chains before.

His eyebrows twitched slightly.

Suddenly, he seemed to smell something.It was the smell of popcorn that is often found in movie theaters.A sweet smell filled his nostrils.

Then, the surrounding silence was suddenly cancelled, and loud voices filled his ears—a lot of people appeared around him at some point.

The waiters standing behind the ticket counter, the ticket inspectors standing straight in front of the theater, and the crowd who came to watch the movie in groups of three or two or even with their families.

A little girl in a floral dress skipped past Lin Chu, holding a red balloon in one hand and her mother in the other. She had a childlike voice and a toothless smile.

In the mini-singing room in the leisure area not far away, there was even a couple of young couples playing and romping, immersed in the world of two people, but they sang a simple little love song and howled ghosts and wolves, which attracted many people to laugh at them. gaze.

"No way." Lin Chu muttered to himself, then pinched the back of his hand hard, "Hiss... am I dreaming?"

Lin Chu wanted to take out his mobile phone from his pocket to check the date and time, but found that there was nothing in his pocket except a piece of paper.

He took out the paper and found it was a movie ticket.The viewing time and theater number were written on the ticket, but the name of the film was not displayed.

Lin Chu looked up and glanced at the big screen in the theater, and found that the viewing time was almost up.

It's time to go to the movies...

Such a thought vaguely flashed through Lin Chu's mind, so he held the movie ticket and walked towards the theater.

The ticket inspector was wearing overalls but a black peaked cap. Lin Chu could only see half of his face clearly.

"Your movie is about to start." The ticket inspector tore off a part of the movie ticket, and returned the ticket stub to Lin Chu, "Please enter and wait for a while."

Lin Chu reached out to take the ticket stub.

I don't know if it was his illusion, but the side face of the ticket inspector looked very pale under the weak light.The slightly blue lips were pursed, and two creases appeared at the corners of the skin that looked like a smile but not a smile.

Lin Chu felt a chill down his spine, pretending to lower his head and put the ticket stub back into his pocket.

This time, the name of the movie actually appeared on the ticket stub:

"Master of Hypnotism".

Lin Chu was startled, and felt that something in the back of his mind was about to explode.But for some reason, he still walked into the theater in a daze, and sat down in a seat near the center of the back row.

The movie was almost sold out.

Lin Chu stared blankly at the dimming of the lights in the cinema hall, and the big screen began to play some sponsor advertisements.

Coincidentally, Lin Chu happened to know all these things in the ad: his favorite drink, his favorite car, and the bank he frequented most.

These familiar things made him slowly relax his nerves, and some began to look forward to this unheard-of movie.

The movie starts soon.

At the beginning, the shots of the film were displayed on a wide stage.An old man in his sixties in a tuxedo stood beside a chair on the stage and said something with a smile on his face.

There seems to be something wrong with the audio in the movie theater... The old man's voice sometimes disappears, mixed with heavy noise.And the picture on the big screen trembled from time to time, with a few mottled snowflakes drifting past.

Lin Chu: "..."

The movie theater won't misplace the source of the film, right?

Even if this is a movie with a retro and nostalgic theme, shouldn't the picture be blurred like this?

This thought flashed by, and the picture on the screen suddenly became much clearer.At least I can clearly see the expression on the old man's face and the furnishings around him.

The old man stood in an empty theater and introduced to everyone that he is 67 years old this year, has studied hypnosis for more than [-] years, and consulted various masters in the world about the secrets of hypnosis, which is why he has achieved what he is today.

Now, he can use hypnosis to easily open a person's heart, read or even change a person's memory, and give people different psychological hints.

The old man's explanation was old-fashioned and boring... Lin Chu felt drowsy after seeing it.

"Next, I invite today's experiencers to cooperate with me and show everyone the subtleties of hypnosis."

The old man suddenly bowed in the direction of the screen.

In the film, a young man steps out from behind a heavy stage curtain.Wearing a suit, he greeted the old man calmly, and then sat on the chair beside the old man.

"Good evening, Master," said the young man.

He smiled, fully revealing his face, which was half buried in the shadows.

That face—is actually the same as Lin Chu's face!

No, it should be said that the young man sitting on the chair waiting to be hypnotized...is exactly Lin Chu himself!

Lin Chu sat on the spot stiffly, his pupils trembling slightly.However, the people around him were all watching with great interest what was playing on the big screen, completely oblivious to the fact that the participants in this film were sitting next to them!

Lin Chu looked at the big screen in horror.

The old man said, "Lin, how do you feel today?"

The young man replied: "It feels good."

Old man: "It seems that the positive hint I gave you last time has worked...Are you still having insomnia at night?"

Young man: "Not at all, sir. I slept well."

"Very good. But we should not take it lightly - long-term insomnia is an incurable disease, often related to mental stress and some negative psychological factors." The master said, "In order to fully heal you, I need you to open up to me Heart door. I will find the crux of the problem for you, and then slowly give you positive guidance..."

hula.

Lin Chu's entire perspective seemed to be turned upside down.

After a period of trance, he found himself sitting on that chair, completely becoming the person in the movie.

A bright red curtain was hung high above his head, and the dim light was sprinkled on the somewhat old wooden floor.He was sitting on the stage, but the bottom of the stage was not as empty as shown in the previous film——

A bunch of crooked people sat under the stage.

Not that it was, a pile of crooked corpses.

Some of them still have some incomplete flesh tissue left, and some have become clean bones. The only thing in common is that they are all dressed in decent clothes. The women wear gauze skirts, and the men wear black suits. They all tilted their heads, their black eyes staring straight at Lin Chu's direction.

"Now, bring your head back...and relax. Relax every muscle, every cell of your body. Allow each gentle breath to bring you into a deeper state of relaxation..." The old man suddenly moved closer to him, and the old man There was a chilling chill in his body, "I will slowly raise your hand, and then slowly release it. When I completely release your arm, you will feel a lot, a lot easier..."

Lin Chu: "..."

Not to mention relaxing, he just wants to run away now!

But he suddenly discovered that his hands and feet were tightly bound with restraint belts, and he couldn't move at all!

The old man suddenly pressed his face to Lin Chu's eyes.

Lin Chu could even see the wrinkles and pale age spots on his face clearly.

The old man grinned grimly, held two thick sewing needles in his hands, and slowly pointed the tip of the needles at Lin Chu's eyes, and said, "Tell me, what did you see? Tell me, are you asleep or awake— —”

The tense nerves in Lin Chu's brain snapped off.He smelled the smell coming from the old man, it was a strong corpse smell, it was a stench that he would never forget after smelling it once.

The old man would not be a living demon.

Because, he was already dead.

... Lin Chu remembered everything.

When he was graduating from university, he traveled across the ocean for vacation, and by chance, he visited a famous hypnotist.He was already interested in this aspect of knowledge and intended to ask the master for advice, so the master became his teacher for a short time——

But later Lin Chu discovered that this so-called "Master of Hypnotism" was simply a person who deceived the world and stole his name.

True hypnosis may have a unique effect.But what this master usually performs is not real hypnosis at all, but some deceitful ostentation. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to call him "Illusionist".

His tricks are not popular, but he just made up a hypnotic name, which makes his deception all the way.

After Lin Chu discovered the truth, he intentionally bid farewell to this "master".But this "master" seemed to have noticed something, and acted preemptively. After drugging Lin Chu into a coma, he locked him in an abandoned theater.

The master said that what he studied was the supreme hypnotic method.He must go through constant practice in order to maintain this magical ability.

He tied Lin Chu to a chair on the stage, used several corpses as audiences, and then set up a video recorder in front of the stage to record all the scenes in the theater.

At this point, Lin Chu discovered that the master was still a complete lunatic: all those who exposed him, or those who might expose him, were killed by him, and their bones were hidden in this theater.

Every time a new victim is captured, the master will tie him/her to the chair on stage, set up the video recorder in advance, and start performing hypnotic hypnosis—if the person on the chair doesn't cooperate with his " Show", he will be killed immediately.

Lin Chu couldn't remember how long he had been in that dark theater.But he knew that he was the one who persisted the longest.No matter how the master tossed him, he didn't go crazy.On the contrary, he pretended to be more and more in a trance, more and more obedient, so obedient that the master thought that he had really practiced the so-called supreme hypnosis——

Then, the master was fascinated for a while, and untied the rope that bound Lin Chu.

Lin Chu resisted violently and almost strangled the master to death with a rope.

Halfway through the stretch, Lin Chu, who was exhausted for days, suddenly seemed to be inspired by some mysterious force, and tied the dying master to the blood-stained chair.

In this theater, the master hypnotized him many times.The process and method were almost memorized by Lin Chu.

"Come on, listen to my instructions, inhale slowly, relax..."

Following Lin Chu's instructions, the master actually calmed down, his face full of chaos and confusion.

Lin Chu took a deep breath and began to give instructions to the master.I don't know why, but he has a kind of absolute self-confidence in the dark, he knows that the master will faithfully carry out his every order.

He put his ear next to the master's ear and said a few words.

……

A day later, the famous hypnotist suddenly confessed in a grand public performance that all his performances were fake, either by collusion in advance or by some illusionary means.

The master blew himself up on the truck, ruining his reputation for a while.

Another three days later, the crazy master claimed that he had committed multiple murder cases, and wrote a long letter of the crime process to the police station.Shocked, the police station sent people to the old theater to search for the body, and at the same time sent people to arrest the master.

However, at five o'clock in the morning that day, the master jumped from the balcony of his fifth floor.

……

After Lin Chu acquired the strange ability, it took a few days to erase all traces of his contact with the master.

The last thing he did was to use this magical ability on himself——

He let himself forget everything that had happened these days.

He only needs to remember that when he came to this foreign city, he had a discussion about hypnosis with a crappy hypnotist during his travels.

As for other memories, as well as this magical ability itself - Lin Chu felt that he didn't need it.

He will give up.

Until...he recalled all this today.
