At first, Liu Cuirong thought that Song Yangyu was Shao Jingque's partner.

But after the meal, she found out that Song Yangyu and Shao Jingque were just ordinary friends, which made her want to be a matchmaker again.

Although it is still unknown what specific job Comrade Xiao Song does, based on what Liu Cuirong sees now, she knows that Comrade Xiao Song's qualifications must be good!

He was 1.8 meters tall, sunny, handsome, and loved to laugh. He wore a straight military uniform, spoke politely, and was generous when treating people to dinner. The more she looked at Comrade Xiao Song, the more satisfied she became. She had already started to think about which of her nieces was worthy of him.

If any of her nieces were to marry in Beijing through her matchmaking, and marry such an outstanding officer, I'm afraid her whole family would be grateful to her for the rest of their lives!

Shao Jingque originally thought that Song Yangyu's work was confidential and was about to speak up to help him out, but unexpectedly, Song Yangyu answered Liu Cuirong's questions generously.

"Sister Liu, I work in a department under the Political Department of the Central Military Region, mainly responsible for security..."

Song Yangyu answered seriously, but unfortunately Liu Cuirong didn't quite understand what he said.

After listening to it, I just felt that Song Yangyu's work seemed to be very important. He remembered the Central Military Region from a long list of words, and didn't even remember which department it was. However, he was already extremely satisfied.

If a unit begins with the word "Central", it must be a first-class unit. What else is there to choose from?

Liang Jinchun was greatly surprised. He didn't expect that the young man in front of him was actually a young cadre of the Central Military Region. He was truly young and promising!

The other two young actors also looked at Song Yangyu with admiration, and couldn't help asking him for more information that they rarely get to know:

"Comrade Xiao Song, are there still any hostile saboteurs like the ones you just mentioned in our country?"

It was not only because Song Yangyu was Shao Jingque's friend, but also because he was completely humble in front of them and always chatted with them frankly with a warm smile, so they dared to ask this slightly sensitive question.

Song Yangyu's expression became much more serious, and he nodded:

"Yes, our country is vast and has a large population base, so it's relatively easy for these hostile saboteurs to hide. Therefore, we must be more rigorous in our work, and we need the full support of the masses. Please provide us with more clues so that we can catch the bad apples hiding among the people."

In fact, what Song Yangyu told them were all the information that could be disclosed at the daily meetings of various units in Beijing, so it did not involve any leaks.

On the contrary, popularizing relevant knowledge and encouraging people to report suspicious persons to them is also an important part of Song Yangyu's work, so he is happy to answer their questions.

The male dancer asked curiously:

"Comrade Song, what was the most cunning and difficult enemy you've ever encountered?"

Song Yangyu thought for a moment and replied:

"The most cunning and difficult to deal with...are professionally trained spies. They master various counter-reconnaissance techniques and are skilled in disguise. Some are highly educated intellectuals with knowledge of psychology and hypnosis. Even if you capture such a person, it's very difficult to extract the truth from them. It takes considerable effort to break through their psychological defenses."

This topic also aroused Shao Jingque's interest.

She had only seen hypnosis on TV entertainment shows, but had never encountered it in real life. She always thought it was pseudoscience.

I didn't expect to hear this word from Song Yangyu's mouth today. Is there real hypnosis in this world?

Someone at the table was the first to ask this question:

"Does hypnosis really exist in this world? Is it the kind of magic that can make people invulnerable?"

The female dancer in the art troupe asked this question because when she was a child she heard from her family that there was a Taoist priest in the Taoist temple in her hometown who could chant spells to make people fall asleep instantly, and their bodies would become as hard as a steel plate, and they would not be hurt even if they were hit with a knife.

So everyone thought that the Taoist priest knew some magical skills, and people from all over the place rushed to burn incense and pay homage to him, so the Taoist temple became particularly popular.

Later, a movement to break superstition arose in the team, and the Taoist priest was arrested for study and reform. A criticism meeting was held, saying that he used hypnosis, engaged in feudal superstition, and made money and deceived women. Finally, he was arrested and imprisoned.

It was from this story that she heard the word hypnosis, and because it was so impressive, she kept it in her mind.

Song Yangyu smiled and said:

"Hypnosis does exist in this world, but it's not the kind of magic that can make people fly into the sky and into the earth, or become invulnerable to weapons, as people say. Instead, it's a psychological technique."

"Those invulnerabilities are just fake tricks. Real hypnosis is a technique that uses psychological suggestion and guidance to bring people into a highly focused and relaxed hypnotic state."

"When hypnotized, a person's consciousness is focused on a specific thought, feeling, or memory, reducing their perception of external interference and making them more responsive to the hypnotist's guidance or suggestions."

"Generally speaking, the weaker the will, the easier it is to be hypnotized. Those who have been recruited are, to some extent, cognitively 'hypnotized' by hostile elements, their minds being manipulated and influenced by others, allowing them to be exploited."

Several people listened with great interest, but Liu Cuirong didn't understand as usual. She just felt that Xiao Song was really outstanding and what he said was knowledge that they had never heard of before.

She couldn't help but ask:

"Xiao Song, you know so much, but do you know how to hypnotize?"

Unexpectedly, Song Yangyu nodded:

"I've studied psychology and practiced some hypnosis techniques, which might be useful during interrogations of hostile elements. That's why military academies offer relevant courses, and officers above the company level are required to master this skill."

Liu Cuirong exclaimed:

"Oh, you're amazing! Can you show us? I've never seen real hypnosis in my life!"

Song Yangyu looked into Liu Cuirong's eyes, seemed to think for a while, then pointed at the water cup in front of her and said:

"I usually don't demonstrate hypnosis in front of others easily, but if Sister Liu can finish this cup of gaiwan tea in one breath, I can make an exception and demonstrate it to you."

Liu Cuirong looked down at the cup of water in front of her, and carefully lifted the lid to take a look - it was just an ordinary cup of tea, what was so difficult about it?

She agreed without hesitation:

"Okay, Xiao Song, this is what you said, you can't go back on your word!"

Liu Cuirong picked up the cup and was about to drink it all, but Song Yangyu stopped her with a smile.

She looked puzzled and said:

"Why, you're going back on your word right after you said you're not allowed to regret it?"

Song Yangyu stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers in front of her, looking at her with a smile:

"Sister Liu, take another look. Is that tea in your hand?"
