"Hmm," the psychologist agreed, thinking of many keywords, "So, this thod just requires reciting the script, and even an amateur hypnotist like could successfully hypnotize soone. However, at the sa ti, the subject’s hypnosis sensitivity needs to be high, and the hypnotic environnt must be good enough, with a long induction ti."
"Right," the hypnotist said, "Therefore, it’s not suitable for performance, only for therapy. Authoritative hypnosis, on the other hand, is often rapid or even instant, with a very short induction ti. Such imperious language can accomplish hypnosis."
Yet, he frowned in puzzlent and said, "But, for this kind of hypnosis faction, the hypnotist needs imnse confidence, and the requirents for the hypnosis sensitivity of the subject are also high. These two, the reciter and the big man, obviously don’t et the criteria."
"Could it be..." the psychologist was also puzzled, "perhaps a collaboration faction?"
"If they could really succeed... it might be possible," the hypnotist said, though his own confusion was no less than the psychologist’s, "The collaboration faction doesn’t demand high hypnosis sensitivity, has no set form, and is extrely flexible. Each collaboration faction hypnotist has their own unique approach—perhaps this is his thod?"
He suddenly complained, annoyed, "But how could that be possible! The collaboration faction requires ongoing conversation and communication, how could it... just like this... induce hypnosis?"
And of course, the people on stage couldn’t hear their conversation.
"Now, you, slowly place your hands on my waist, then close your eyes, and you might try to feel the air, there’s sothing magical in the air..." the reciter continued, "And the audience, you can keep focusing on . I won’t speak or give any signals with my eyes, and the blindfold is just an ordinary one, so this... is just a simple ’Three No Hypnosis,’ that’s all."
The audience below watched Jiang Shu, but nobody could discern anything, including the psychologist and the hypnotist.
After all, standing there motionless, silent, it was impossible to believe that successful hypnosis could happen this way? Was he just a "tool man"?
Then, as instructed, the reciter’s voice sped up, "Three! Two! One! Now, try to lift up!"
The big inmate nodded after hearing this sentence, then followed the reciter’s instructions step by step.
He placed his hands at Jiang Shu’s sides, then closed his eyes to feel sothing—what exactly the audience below couldn’t tell—but at the end of the countdown, he suddenly exerted himself, trying to lift Jiang Shu.
But it was futile.
"Hmm?" In his urgency, the big man felt Jiang Shu suddenly beco very heavy in front of him, an irresistible force, and he realized this the mont he exerted a little force...
It was like...
Trying to lift up the sky.
Completely impossible.
But subconsciously, he didn’t believe it and tried again.
Still the sa.
He let out a breath, then exerted all his strength, but aside from turning his face red, it was of no use.
Jiang Shu still had his blindfold on, his mouth closed, as calm and indifferent as before.
He took a half-step back, raised his palm, signaling the end of the hypnosis to the big inmate, and then bowed to all the spectators.
"Thank you, thank you all for watching the performance," Jiang Shu said with a smile, saluting everyone.
"What? This is..."
"Big guy, put so muscle into it, didn’t you lift him just now?"
The big man just looked puzzled at his hands, furrowing his brows, then suddenly stepped forward and lifted Jiang Shu effortlessly, this ti he succeeded.
"Eh? Weird, how co I couldn’t lift him just now?" The big man muttered in wondernt, deep in thought.
"Big guy, were you acting just now? How co it’s so easy now?" soone from the audience asked.
"Act my ass, I really couldn’t exert any strength just now. Besides, weren’t I chosen by you guys?" the big inmate retorted irritably.
The audience below nodded slightly. This kind of hypnotism...
Unheard of!
"Right, hypnotist, did you understand?" soone rembered there was a bona fide hypnotist present.
"This... could be a combination of authoritative and collaborative hypnosis techniques... but..." the hypnotist subconsciously voiced his assessnt yet shook his head, "such hypnotism... is simply defying the heavens. I can’t figure out how he did it, but I..."
Although only making the big man reach the Second or Third Level of hypnosis, that made no sense scientifically.
The hypnotist sighed and continued, "I’m at a loss."
This statent left the audience once again astounded; if even the hypnotist said so, then wasn’t Jiang Shu...
Exceptionally skilled?
"Just a little trick," Jiang Shu chuckled, stepping down from the table, "Trade secret, no questions asked."
"Understood,"
"We know, we know, we were just a bit curious," others chid in. Here, no one disrespected knowledge, and since Jiang Shu didn’t want to talk, they wouldn’t ask, but they were still savoring the subtlety of the hypnotism they’d just witnessed.
Such hypnosis...
It was too terrifying!
Everyone thought so.
Only Clo frowned, recalling Jiang Shu’s recent actions.
He understood very well that magic is deception, but he searched his mory and couldn’t find any chance for Jiang Shu to have manipulated anything.
Prior hypnosis? Didn’t seem likely.
What was it?
Clo was lost in confusion, doubting his own mory, but he had no evidence.
