Devin nodded slightly, putting his hands behind his back. "Let's talk as we walk."

He was anxious inside, but dared not show it on his face.

Lu Yunshen is as cunning as a fox, and Professor Yu is even more so.

Devin dared not be careless and tried his best to appear natural, as if he were chatting casually.

A faint floral fragrance lingered all around, and the lake surface was caressed by a gentle breeze. Under the sunlight, the shimmering waves sparkled like shattered diamonds.

Professor Yu remained calm. "He should be arriving soon."

"Divin, it's been ten years since we last saw each other, hasn't it?"

“You don’t look any different, but the hair at my temples has all turned white.”

Upon hearing this, Devin's eyes flashed with smugness and mockery. He thought to himself, "How can I be compared to you?"

I am a nobleman, and you are just a commoner.

Professor Yu looked at the lake and didn't glance at Devon again.

This person has ulterior motives. It wasn't obvious when he was in school, but he couldn't hide it anymore later, and he was still unaware of it.

Diwen followed his gaze and saw on the other side of the lake, several people walking on the campus path, one of whom was Lu Yunshen.

"Old Yu, how about bringing your students to my house for dinner tomorrow night? My wife's been feeling much better lately, let's all get together." Diwen's lips slowly curved into a smile.

I'll have another chance to hypnotize Lu Yun Shen tomorrow; this time I don't need to worry too much.

He thought this to himself, a vicious glint in his eyes.

Professor Yu's heart skipped a beat when he saw this, but he quickly regained his composure. "Alright, he might bring his wife along."

“It’ll be lively with lots of people, Anna will definitely enjoy it. I won’t bother you any longer.” Devin nodded to the group of people in the pavilion and turned to leave.

He walked with ease and seemed to be in a good mood.

Professor Yu glanced at it only once, then slowly suppressed the smile in his eyes.

Tomorrow is a trap...

On the other side

Besides accompanying his teacher to tonight's exchange meeting, Lu Yunshen also made an appointment with a hypnosis expert in Teng City.

The group parted ways at university.

Lin Ziyan and Lu Yunshen walked towards the medical building of Tengshi University.

Fujishi University's most famous medical school excels in every specialty, overshadowing Kyoto University's medical school.

And no one expected that the top professor of surgery at Fujishi University was also a hypnosis expert.

This professor has connections with the Jiang family; otherwise, Lu Yunshen wouldn't have been able to get an appointment with him.

They ran into Jiang Dong before they even reached the medical school building.

The medical school building faces the lake, separated by a large green lawn and a main road.

Willow branches droop down on both sides, swaying in the wind, their fragrance lingering in the air.

“Aunt He called me. If I don’t come over, my mother will definitely beat me when I get home.” Jiang Dong put one hand in his pocket and raised an eyebrow.

Lu Yunshen's lips curled slightly as he took Lin Ziyan's hand and strode towards the building.

Jiang Dong paused for a few seconds, then followed.

Professor Ouyang has an eccentric temperament; otherwise, he wouldn't have made a special trip.

Professor Ouyang's wife had a relationship with his grandmother; otherwise, the Jiang family wouldn't have known about his hypnotism skills.

Nobody in China believes in hypnosis now; it's all considered evil magic, so Professor Ouyang naturally keeps it a closely guarded secret.

In those turbulent times, he was lucky to have hidden himself; otherwise, the Jiang family would have had a hard time protecting him and his wife.

How many university professors were sent to the countryside and suppressed at that time? Professor Ouyang and his wife were able to escape this fate because they knew how to conceal their talents and because of the support and assistance from the Jiang family.

The three of them stopped at the entrance of the laboratory.

Jiang Dong knocked on the door and greeted Professor Ouyang through the glass window.

Before long, the three of them were invited to Professor Ouyang's office by his assistant.

It's more of a studio than an office.

There's also a lounge, a kitchen, and more like an apartment, with all the necessities of life provided.

"Please have a seat." Professor Ouyang said calmly, taking off his glasses and taking out a document from his drawer.

Lin Ziyan gripped Lu Yunshen's hand tightly, suddenly feeling a little nervous.

Powerful hypnosis can erase memories, or it can drive a person insane.

She suddenly wanted to stop the hypnosis session.

Lu Yunshen gently stroked her palm with his fingertips, offering silent comfort.

He wouldn't doubt the people the Jiang family trusted.

Jiang Dong sat solemnly to the side, not daring to say anything more, for fear of disturbing Professor Ouyang's thoughts.

The assistant put down the teapot, nodded to them, turned and left, closing the door behind him.

Professor Ouyang looked up at Lu Yunshen, slightly raising his chin, "Mr. Lu, please sit over there, we can begin immediately."

Jiang Dong and Lu Yunshen exchanged a glance, their eyes understanding each other.

Lin Ziyan: "Won't we bother you by standing here?"

Professor Ouyang smiled faintly, "No, you just need to keep quiet."

His gentle smile stunned Lin Ziyan for a few seconds.

The tense atmosphere seemed to ease considerably.

Jiang Dong looked at Professor Ouyang's smile with a complicated expression.

Why does he feel like Professor Ouyang knows his sister-in-law?

Lu Yunshen's eyes darkened as he looked at them thoughtfully.

Professor Ouyang, holding the documents, sat down in the rattan chair next to Lu Yunshen.

He asked a few simple questions, his expression turning slightly somber.

Lu Yunshen: "Am I no longer suited for hypnosis?"

He was mentally prepared, and remained calm, showing no disappointment.

Now that he knows it was Devin who erased his memories, he just needs to wait for the other party to make his move.

He approached this hypnosis session with a "let's give it a try" attitude.

“No, that’s not it,” Professor Ouyang said after a moment of thought, looking up at the two people beside him.

"The hypnosis technique used by the other party is too damaging to the brain. If you are hypnotized again, you may have headaches for about a week, and whether you can recover your memory depends on yourself."

"If I hypnotize you and awaken your memories, you may never be hypnotized again."

Lin Ziyan and Jiang Dong were completely confused. Wasn't this a good thing?

Isn't it a good thing to not be hypnotized by others?

As if struck by a thought, Lu Yunshen's pupils contracted slightly, and his hands clenched into fists.

Professor Ouyang noticed their confusion and continued, "Simply put, he can be hypnotized, and the parts of his memory that are erased are ones he doesn't want to remember. The brain's forgetting function is also a protective mechanism."

The brain instinctively forgets some things, mainly because it doesn't want to get hurt.

Lu Yun Shen closed his eyes, his hands trembling slightly.

What does he want to forget? Does he want to subconsciously cooperate with someone else's hypnosis?

Now that his memories are about to return, he feels both anticipation and fear.

This feeling is complicated...

How well does the other party need to know him to find such a starting point and then erase part of his memory?

"Do you really want to remember that part of your memory?" Professor Ouyang paused for a moment before continuing to ask.

Some injuries are deliberately downplayed by the brain, mainly to protect itself.

Professor Ouyang looked solemn, waiting for him to make a decision.

"Please begin," Lu Yunshen said with a determined look in his eyes.

It's better to live a clear-headed life than to live aimlessly.

For those two years, he had nightmares every day, and everything in his dreams was very blurry.

Professor Ouyang nodded, and after he lay down, he began to chat with him casually, as if he were checking the data.

Unbeknownst to him, Lu Yunshen had already fallen into a deep hypnotic state.

Lin Ziyan and Jiang Dong exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with shock.
