Murder the Dream Guy-Chapter 623 - Hypnosis (One)
Chapter 623: Hypnosis (One)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
There was a place in everyone’s heart that one would not open up to anyone else.
It was a place that even their dearest loved one would not know. Nonetheless, a hypnotist could see one’s darkest secrets as quickly as unlocking a room.
For that alone, the mention of hypnosis was enough to frighten An Ying or just anyone,
Although most people only heard of it but had never experienced how real hypnosis was like…
An Ying’s expression was tense and frightened. His gaze was full of resistance.
“What you’re doing is against the law!”
Another second later, he shouted again.
“You’re violating the law knowingly!”
He started to shout at the top of his lungs.
“All of you are violating the law knowingly. I want to complain! I want to sue all of you!”
To cover up his feelings of uneasiness, he bawled loudly and was so nervous that the bluish-colored tendons on his forehead could be seen. Like a man whose feet were on the edge of an abyss, looking at a pair of hands behind him in horror since he feared that he would be pushed into a black hole…
He didn’t want to fall into the black hole. He tried his best to avoid such a situation so much that he seemed abnormal for having such an outburst of emotion…
Xiang Wan and Bai Muchuan exchanged glances, and they understood what each other were thinking.
They ignored An Ying’s shouts and protests like he was transparent.
“Ya~” Xiang Wan shrugged her shoulders casually. “He said he wanted to file a complaint against you.”
“If he wants to, just let him be!” Bai Muchuan did not even look at An Ying. They made it seem like the man who was sitting on that metal chair with handcuffs and legcuffs were non-existent. Bai Muchuan only focused on talking to Xiang Wan. “He made a complaint against me the last time. Did you see any difference?”
“Mm.” Xiang Wan agreed. “He’s the one who changed and is not as arrogant as before.”
“Cough, cough… Cough…” Bai Muchuan couldn’t stand the itchiness of his throat and took a piece of paper napkin to wipe his mouth. “It is a crime to be polite to a criminal who could pose a huge threat to society.”
“In that case,” Xiang Wan smiled. “I need not feel guilty at all.”
Bai Muchuan rolled his wrist to look at his wristwatch. “Ask her to see when she’ll arrive.”
Xiang Wan replied, “Okay, I’ll contact her again.”
She took her mobile phone and walked out of the interrogation room.
An Ying could hear some faint noises of people talking coming from outside.
Through a slightly open door, An Ying could not make out clearly what they were saying. Occasionally, he could hear a few words or two distinctively…
“Alright, we’ll await your arrival in an hour.”
“Sure! No problem, there’s no hurry! It’s raining. Please be careful while you’re on the road…”
Xiang Wan’s tone was that of a friendly and joyful one. The world outside the door and the world within the room felt like two different worlds.
Screech! The door opened.
She came in and sat back down.
“We need to wait for an hour.”
“Mm.” Bai Muchuan’s gaze indicated that he was not really pleased to hear that.
“So what should we do during this hour? Interrogate him?”
“There’s no need to interrogate him! We’ve already given him enough chances. We can save a lot of effort once the hypnotist arrives; everything will come to light by that time.”
“… I’m looking forward to it already.”
An Ying could hear all of their conversations.
Both of them had referred to An Ying as ‘him’ in their conversation.
They didn’t look at him. They ignored him, thoroughly treating him like air while they talked amongst themselves.
An Ying’s facial expression was getting gloomier and gloomier…
This was a perilous psychological trap. In the same enclosed space, if other people were chatting happily amongst themselves and deliberately alienate the third person, it was a torture to the third person. An Ying found it extremely difficult to pass the time. Subconsciously, he also wanted to mix a few parts of the conversation by hearing what they were talking about.
It was no exception, although they were the police and he was a criminal.
“The rain’s getting heavier!”
“Yeah.”
“How much longer…”
Xiang Wan looked at the time. “Twenty minutes to go.”
“Then we’ll wait for a while longer.”
“…”
Waiting…
They continued to chitchat.
An Ying sat by himself alone.
“How much more time to go?”
“Fifteen minutes…”
“Alright…”
Waiting…
They continued to chitchat.
An Ying sat by himself alone.
The scene didn’t change.
Yet, in actual fact, it was changing without a trace.
The lights in the room started to get dim.
“The rain… it got heavier, isn’t it?”
“Yeah, the rain today… seemed as if it’s raining inside my heart.”
“Look at the time again, how much longer should we wait?”
“Ten minutes more…”
“I’ll get Ding Yifan to receive her five minutes before she arrives…”
“I’m so looking forward to her arrival. By the way, is hypnosis really so powerful and amazing?”
“You’ll know it when you witness it for yourself later.”
“I heard that this hypnotist once solved an unsolved case just based on hypnosis alone since the police couldn’t obtain any evidence at all. She hypnotized the kidnapper to reveal the whereabouts of the little girl who was kidnapped…” Xiang Wan glanced towards An Ying from the corner of her eyes.
His face had turned ashen.
Under the dim lights, he was so pale like a sheet of paper.
She looked at Bai Muchuan.
He nodded, and they stopped chitchatting.
The interrogation room suddenly turned quiet.
Xiang Wan spoke softly slowly with a mysterious tone, “This is such heavy rain. Did you hear it?”
“Mm!” Bai Muchuan concurred. “I heard it. This should the heaviest rain ever since the new year.”
Xiang Wan replied, “Splish splash! Splish splash! Splish splash! I feel so worried…”
“What are you worried about?”
“I’m scared.”
“What are you scared of?”
“I’m scared of hypnosis.”
“Are you not the one who would be hypnotized.”
“I know, but I’m afraid at the same time. In my heart, hypnosis is just as mysterious as the divination arts. It’s so unbelievable, yet it existed. It’s only natural to feel a little fearful of it… ” At this point, she paused for a moment, and her voice sounded a little colder.
“The rain’s so heavy and loud that I felt like it’s just beside my eardrums…”
Bai Muchuan looked at her.
He could sense the feeling of ethereal bewilderment in her eyes.
It’s such a pity that she’s not an actress, he thought to himself.
He nodded, nodded, and nodded again. “The rain’s in our hearts.”
Xiang Wan looked at the time. “She’s almost here now, I think?”
“Ding Yifan, go receive her…”
“Yes, Boss!”
An Ying was listening. He had been listening to their conversation. Their voices, the sound of rain… The world seemed lively, but he was the only one who was under the light; the sweat at his back seemed to be drenching his clothes like he had been under the rain. His heart was beating furiously and out of control.
“It’s raining. What a heavy rain…”
He suddenly opened his mouth and mumbled. He looked as if he was possessed.
Xiang Wan stared at him. “Did you see the rain too?”
An Ying lifted an arm to wipe the sweat on his face. Since he finally obtained some attention, he was unguarded against her and replied. “… I can’t see it, but I heard the sounds of rain.”
Xiang Wan nodded. “Today’s rain is indeed a little unusual.”
“Boss!” Ding Yifan came back within three minutes. Zhan Se entered the interrogation room, and An Ying didn’t seem to realize that there was a problem with the time.
He looked at the unfamiliar woman who came into the interrogation room with an alarmed look.
Zhan Se nodded at Bai Muchuan and Xiang Wan. She didn’t exchange any greeting with them and sat down directly.
The tension in the interrogation room continued.
Zhan Se looked at An Ying seriously. Her eyes were like knives, and she didn’t say a word.
In the silence…
… There was only indifference.
There was also a suffocating feeling.
An Ying was in a highly tense state of mind. He felt like his heart was about to pop out of his throat.
However, he didn’t move. Both of his handcuffed hands were lying restlessly on his legs.
Zhan Se suddenly nodded, and as if she was providing an evaluation of something, she looked sincere. “He has a strong mind. However, it’s not because his psychological resistance is strong, but the person that he is protecting is very important to him.”
