CHAPTER 266: 266: HYPNOSIS

The time ticked away second by second, and no one knew how long they had been talking. The heavy sound of the door opening resonated, as Chuan Er finally opened the warehouse door.

His probing gaze fell on Gu Tong, and he asked evenly, "How did the questioning go?"

During that period, he had already talked on the phone with Master Wu. It was inconvenient for Master Wu to speak, so they exchanged only a few words. However, despite the brief conversation, Master Wu had verified Gu Tong’s identity!

This undoubtedly gave Chuan Er a reassurance, and Master Wu entrusted him to complete the remaining tasks in collaboration with Gu Tong!

Master Wu was Chuan Er’s partner, and over such a long period, they had developed some degree of mutual trust. The person sent by Master Wu could be excluded from all suspicions of danger or suspicion, and Chuan Er could fully trust her!

"I got it out!"

Gu Tong sat in the chair with her legs crossed and pointed her finger at Li Yan opposite her. She said evenly, "He’s still under the influence, so why don’t you ask him again yourself? Unless you think I’m pulling your leg!"

Earlier, Gu Tong and Chuan Er had been in a state of confrontation. If Gu Tong suddenly changed her attitude, Chuan Er might become suspicious. So she maintained her demeanor, pretending she didn’t know Chuan Er had spoken with Master Wu.

Chuan Er glanced at her but also found her reaction normal because there was no frankness between them, let alone any trust!

However, for him, these were trivial matters. What he cared more about was the information provided by the Devil King!

He couldn’t believe that this woman had the power to pry open the Devil King’s mouth.

Chuan Er took two steps that felt like three, moving closer, his eyes scanning up and down the appearance of the Devil King, Li Yan.

He was now close! Yet Li Yan did not move an inch, not even his eyes shifted a bit!

Upon a closer look, Li Yan’s eyes were hollow, his mouth slightly ajar, and his tongue somewhat stiff. He was like a wooden puppet, entirely out of control, almost like a dummy.

"What did you do to him..."

Chuan Er was dumbfounded. If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that the once vibrant Devil King could be reduced to this state in such a short time...

What on earth did this woman do, could she give a reasonable explanation...

Gu Tong leaned back in the chair, lazily lowering her eyelids, and said casually, "Have you heard of hypnosis?"

"Hypnosis..." What is that...

Isn’t that a plot from a Western movie...

"Hypnotism is a secret technique that uses suggestive methods to induce the subject into a state of sleep. Its characteristics include the subject’s diminished or lost capacity for independent judgment, volition, and action. During hypnosis, the subject will fully obey the hypnotist’s commands, just like what you see in front of you!"

Gu Tong cleverly utilized the concept of hypnotism from psychological medicine to start spinning a yarn, making outrageous claims.

After all, she had already turned Li Yan into this state. Even if Chuan Er didn’t believe it, he had to grudgingly accept reality.

"So you really can do this..."

Chuan Er was completely floored, his mouth agape in shock, exclaiming, "No wonder you didn’t want anyone to watch... Such a secret technique surely wouldn’t be shared easily..."

Once trust is established, people will unquestioningly find reasons for the other party. This is a characteristic of human nature.

"If I ask him any question now, will he answer me? Will he give me false information?"
