Chapter 184 Hypnotist

Brother Mao woke up.

And he didn't continue to explore those memories.

Because Luo Xi used a [Lie] on Brother Mao.

Make him believe that the memories he thought of were just an interesting little story made up by Luo Xi.

However, the effectiveness of [Lies] can only last until 12:00 noon on a single cycle day.

It is now pouring rain outside and the time is ten thirty in the morning.

There is only one and a half hours left until twelve o'clock.

"You all know the situation. Is there any way to make Brother Mao forget those memories temporarily, or cover them up?" Luo Xi needs to solve this problem before [Lies] loses its effect, otherwise Brother Mao will be in danger.

Some things can't be ignored just by saying don't think about them.

Especially when it comes to consciousness and thinking, sometimes the more you are on guard, the more passive you will be. It's like an extremely slippery slope. When you are sliding down, no matter what you do, it will only increase the speed of sliding.

External assistance is necessary.

Guo Zening shook his head and Wu Rui said nothing.

Neither the ability nor the experience of the two of them was enough to solve this problem, so Luo Xi mainly looked at Lin Qiqi, Fatty Qian and Ke Lan.

Among these three, Lin Qiqi is the most senior and has the strongest ability.

Fatty Qian is well-informed, knows a lot of messy things and people, and has a wide network of connections. Ke Lan is smart and may be able to propose a solution from another angle.

"I have no choice!" Lin Qiqi was the first to express his opinion.

What she meant was very simple. If you want to control a person's behavior, there are many ways to do it. The most direct way is to tie the person up. Then he can't go anywhere and can't do anything.

But it is very difficult to control a person's thoughts.

"Unless." Lin Qiqi made a gesture of wiping his neck.

That means, at the beginning of each cycle day, Brother Mao will be killed.

In this way, I am busy with this and have no time to think about other things or explore my memories.

Of course, Lin Qiqi herself knew that her suggestion was purely for fun to make everyone relax a little. She didn't take it seriously, and no one else would take it seriously either.

"This is almost impossible." Ke Lan also gave his answer.

The reason is the same as Lin Qiqi's. It is easy to control a person's behavior, but it is difficult to control what the other person thinks or does not think, unless you kill him or make him stupid.

The only one left is Fatty Qian.

This guy obviously ate too much during the challenge. He kept burping and holding his stomach with both hands, just like a woman about to give birth.

"It's actually not that difficult." Fatty Qian never stopped talking about shocking things. His words directly attracted the attention of several other people.

"Hypnosis, hypnotize Brother Mao, then the problem will be solved, right?"

Luo Xi had also thought of this method.

He even knows hypnosis and is even an expert at it, but his hypnosis is temporary. Moreover, because it is not a rule-based ability, it is difficult to succeed. Even if it succeeds, it will be more easily broken. With just a little hint, Brother Mao can break through ordinary hypnosis.

Unless, it is the ability of the card.

The card abilities are more powerful and more like a 'rule'.

"Do you know that the occupation card is the Memory Collector of Hypnosis?" Luo Xi asked.

"I know." Fatty Qian answered confidently: "Brother Qiu, that Liang Qu, the one who attacked the First Hospital with us last time, remember?"

Luo Xi naturally remembered the strong man.

During the days when Fatty Qian called him the imprisoned, he was the strongest fighter among the Shiyi people.

However, Luo Xi knew that there were many people who were more powerful than Liang Qu.

All I can say is that for some people who don’t understand or have little experience, Liang Qu is indeed the ceiling of martial arts.

But obviously, Liang Qu is just a character similar to a berserker and has nothing to do with a hypnotist.

"Liang Qu told me that there are many special professions in the Awakener Association, and one of them is the Memory Collector whose profession card is a hypnotist." Fatty Qian's meaning was very clear. He wanted to use Liang Qu's relationship to find the hypnotist over there for help.

This method actually works.

At least it's highly feasible.

"Contact him and ask the hypnotist there if he can help." Luo Xi did not hesitate. Brother Mao's situation was urgent.

After noon, [lies] become ineffective and the situation becomes difficult to control.

By then, Brother Mao will become a device that can self-destruct at any time, and no one knows when it will suddenly explode.

Fatty Qian made a phone call immediately.

The contact numbers of some important relationships are memorized by the memory, because the phone book on the mobile phone will be reset on the cycle date.

After a while, the fat man came back.

The expression is not very good.

"Did the other party refuse?" Luo Xi asked. Based on his observation of Liang Qu, he was not the kind of person who would haggle over trivial matters. On the contrary, there was a high possibility that he would help.

"No, Liang Qu said that he could have handled this matter, but there was a small problem. The hypnotist of their Awakener Association was trapped in a level scene that was being revised. And not just one person was trapped. Now the Awakener Association is in chaos, so."

What Fatty Qian meant was that Liang Qu was willing to help, but he, the hypnotist, was in trouble at the moment.

"What does the level scene that is being revised mean?" Guo Zening asked.

"This is easy to understand. After you enter a level scene, the administrator of the scene announces that his level scene will be upgraded in this round. The rules, plot and gameplay will all change. This is what it means to be revised." Lin Qiqi gave a correct answer.

Guo Zening understood, and he muttered, "This is just cheating. We were supposed to play badminton, but after we got in, we were told we had to play football. This is cheating."

This metaphor is very apt.

That's why there is trouble in the Awakener Association.

"Where are they?" Luo Xi thought for a moment and asked.

In less than twenty minutes, in the pouring rain, Luo Xi and his companions got out of the taxi, holding umbrellas, and hurriedly walked into a building that looked abandoned.

This is an old tube-shaped building. Looking at its structure, it is a huge "concave" shape.

At the entrance on the first floor, the door opposite was wide open, with five large characters "Scene Management Room" hung on it.

It was printed on A4 paper, with one word per page, and then pasted crookedly on the paper.

very obvious.

"What a strange level scene." Wu Rui looked at it and said.

There were already a lot of people there, including a bald old man wearing a ragged vest, shorts and plastic flip-flops, who was sitting on a recliner, fanning himself and listening to the opera.

On the small table next to it was a radio with an upright antenna. The sound effect was average, half opera and half electrical noise. Next to it was a can with half of the sticker torn off, leaving only the white adhesive layer, and tea was brewing inside.

Strong tea.

"Who are you?" Before they could get close, Luo Xi and his companions were blocked by several Shiyi people standing on the periphery.

But soon, Fatty Qian greeted the tall and strong man inside, so after a while, several people were let in.

"This place has always been reserved by the Awakener Association." Liang Qu explained.

In the past, things like booking a whole theater seemed to have only appeared in certain pay-to-win online games.

If the number of monsters spawned in a certain area is stable and large, and they are easy to kill with a good drop rate, it will be targeted by a powerful guild, which will control this area and make it the guild's exclusive location for leveling and brushing equipment.

So when Luo Xi suddenly heard this word, he was actually in a trance for a moment.

Obviously, not every level scene in the day of confinement is so dangerous. There are some that seem dangerous, but as long as you understand the patterns and rules, you can avoid risks and then get the benefits after clearing the scene.

There are quite a few people who are collecting memories here, and they all seem to be from the Awakener Association.

"Fatty briefly told me about your situation. Given our friendship, it's not a big deal for me to ask the hypnotist to help. But he entered here early in the morning and ended up being trapped inside. Now he doesn't know whether he is dead or alive. There is no cell phone signal inside. Later, I asked the administrator here and he said that the scene had been revised."

Liang Qu also gave a brief introduction to the situation here.

Originally, he was going to lead the team to rescue people and take a look at the changes in the revised scene. However, Fatty Qian called in time, so Liang Qu did not go in and waited for them to come.

"The situation inside is not good. Two groups of people have gone in before, but this building is like a monster that eats people without leaving any bones. Once you go in, you can't get out. So, no one outside knows what's going on inside." Liang Qu sighed.

"Wait a minute, as far as I know, you are not the main manager in the Awakener's Union, right? What about the others? Is there no one organizing the rescue?" Luo Xi asked at this time.

"Hey, don't mention it!" Liang Qu lowered his voice at this time: "Mr. Lin hasn't been back for a long time. Only Miss An knows his whereabouts, but she just went in, and Sister Qin followed, as well as Miss Yu."

Luo Xi had seen these people before, and had even worked with them briefly when he was conquering Tuntun Bookstore.

At that time, the girl named An Zhiyan was also planning to recruit Luo Xi to join the group.

But Luo Xi didn't agree.

"The situation is not good now. The Awakener Association was already in turmoil due to the sudden disappearance of Mr. Lin. It was all supported by little An. Now this has happened again. Although it doesn't matter if they die, they can be resurrected on the next cycle day. But if the Awakener Association fails in this level, I'm afraid that people will lose their morale. At that time, it will fall apart. Of course, I didn't say this, and I can't think of it. It was little An who said it before she went in."

Liang Qu had a worried look on his face.

I guess they don't want the Awakener Association, a huge entity, to collapse like this.

But he obviously only had force and had no experience in managing an organization, so he was completely helpless.

"In addition, the association is also unstable internally, and some people want to seize power. Although the guy named Lin is not very capable, he can at least stabilize the situation. If other people come up and mess around, it will probably collapse faster." Liang Qu's last sentence was obviously a complaint.

Luo Xi just listened without commenting.

Later, Wu Rui pulled Mao Ge aside and said some things that it would be better if Mao Ge did not hear them for the time being, for example, this time she came to find a hypnotist to hypnotize him.

"Well, if you are not in a hurry, just wait until the next cycle day. I guess the hypnotist won't be able to come out." Liang Qu said.

Luo Xi shook his head.

He doesn't have the time.

Brother Mao’s situation must be resolved as soon as possible.

"How long has the hypnotist been in there?" Luo Xi asked at this time.

"For more than an hour, no news came out."

"How much do you know about the new rules of this scene?"

"I only know that the scene is called "Haunted Building."

"The others?"

"did not ask."

Luo Xi didn't waste any words. He walked up to the bald old man who was sitting on a recliner listening to opera and drinking tea. He took a look at him first, then asked, "Are you the administrator?"

"Of course he is, what you're asking is pure nonsense!" someone nearby said in an unfriendly tone.

But the bald old man said nothing and continued drinking tea.

"I'll ask him, no one else should interrupt." Luo Xi said with a frown at this time. The person who spoke earlier immediately became unhappy and cursed, saying that I was giving you a kind reminder, but you don't even appreciate it. Where the hell did you come from, you little bastard?

"Fuck you, I told you to shut up, don't you understand?" Fatty Qian started cursing.

This guy has a hot temper and doesn't tolerate others at all, especially when someone scolds Luo Xi, which is equivalent to insulting his idol.

The other party was also annoyed. As soon as they called out, a lot of people gathered around and were about to fight, but were stopped by Liang Qu.

The scene was a bit chaotic, but it was still under control.

"Everyone else, keep quiet and let Luo Xi ask." Liang Qu shouted.

Someone was dissatisfied: "Who is this person? Is he from the association? Or is he from outside? If he is from outside, he cannot come here according to the rules, and he cannot insult the brothers in the association. Liang Qu, don't be so mean."

"Fuck you, my words are no longer enough? Zhao Sen, don't try to cause trouble on purpose. If you want to fight, find another time. I'm always here to accompany you." Liang Qu also has a bad temper. He would resort to violence and would never listen to reason.

"Don't change the time. If you have the guts, fight right now. Am I afraid of you? You are a monkey king in a mountain without a tiger. You are a barbarian. Why do you think you can boss me around?" The other party acted like a fool.

But as expected, the other party was deliberately trying to muddy the waters and create chaos.

Luo Xi had no grudge against the other party, and he didn't even know Zhao Sen, but the other party was obviously deliberately making trouble.

Moreover, it was aimed at Liang Qu's side.

Fighting for power?

Infighting?

These seem to have nothing to do with me, but the other party is doing this now, obviously treating me as a pawn.

"Liang Qu, don't say anything first." Luo Xi said at this time. It may be because they had worked together in the First Hospital, Liang Qu was quite obedient. He nodded, but looked fiercely at the troublemaker opposite him.

Then, Luo Xi looked over and said, "Zhao Sen, right? Let me ask you a question. Is it okay to kill someone here?"

From beginning to end, Luo Xi spoke in a calm tone, as if he was not disturbed by other people's emotions or atmosphere at all.

The strangest thing was that as he spoke, the others seemed to be affected and the noise suddenly quieted down.

"What the hell do you mean?" Zhao Sen cursed.

"Just curious, can you kill someone here?" Luo Xi still didn't care about the other party's tone.

Zhao Sen obviously didn't want to answer, but someone from Liang Qu's side shouted, "You can't kill people here, but you should be able to enter the scene."

Luo Xi nodded: "Thank you!"

Then he said, "How about this, I see that there is no unity within your Awakener Association, and you are deliberately looking for trouble. Liang Qu doesn't tolerate you either. You don't like him, and he doesn't like you either. But there is no point in you quarreling here. Talking without doing is what women do. So, I think you should just go into the scene and have a duel between men. Remember to fight to the death and make sure someone dies. Only in this way can the problem be solved."

"What the hell are you talking about?" Zhao Sen asked with a gloomy face.

"I've made it very clear, don't just talk, cursing is low. Of course, if you're not targeting Liang Qu, but me, you have to go in, because I admit that I can't curse you, and I'm going to enter the scene anyway. If you want to kill me, you have to come in and kill me, okay?"

Now, Zhao Sen was speechless.

The other party obviously didn't play by the rules.

Although Luo Xi spoke slowly and calmly, he found it difficult to cope with it.

Continue to curse?

Indeed, he would appear weak, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he was deliberately causing trouble.

Enter the scene and fight desperately with Liang Qu?
Forget it. Although he was harsh in words, he also knew that fighting Liang Qu alone would be a suicide act.

His original intention was to stir up emotions, and then point the finger at An Zhiyan by using Liang Qu's act of letting outsiders in.

Because the big boss behind him has already planned to get rid of this woman and take advantage of Lin Yixuan's disappearance to control the entire Awakener Association.

As a result, Luo Xi's "sincere challenge to a fight" made him not know how to respond.

"Not talking? Are you hesitating? Why don't you think about it again? We have something to do, so go in first. You have to go early, I'm afraid you won't make it." After saying that, Luo Xi continued to look at the bald old man who was watching all this with a smile.

Continue to ask: "Are you the administrator here?"

The bald old man could no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb.

It is the administrator's responsibility to answer questions.

"I used to be." The bald old man answered helplessly.

When the Shiyi people ask about the level scenes, the administrator cannot lie. This is also the rule. Most scenes have this rule.

"You didn't answer directly, but it was also an answer. If you were one in the past, that means you are not one now. So what is your current identity?" Luo Xi was quite curious about this.

The other party made a big fuss about listening to opera and drinking tea at the door of the house, which seemed like he was trying to cover up his mistake. He obviously wanted to confuse others and make them still think that he was the administrator. However, if others asked about the rules of the scene, he could choose not to answer.

Because he is not the administrator here, he really doesn't know.

But this gave other people who were recalling their memories a preconceived misleading impression that the rules of this scene were implicit and could not be stated.

But the reality is not like this at all.

"I'm an employee, a gatekeeper." The bald old man said helplessly.

He couldn't lie about this question.

"So the real administrator is still in there?" Luo Xi shouted at the house behind the old man above his head: "If you don't come out, I'll go in!"
