Chapter 82 Hypnosis (7)
=====
Although he did not admit it himself, since the hypnotist did something that was almost equivalent to murder to silence the witness, Yi Han could be sure that his guess in the third dream was basically true.
It seems that Jian Lin's European power is still working secretly, otherwise the "mystery of the chef's strange resignation" would not have been solved so smoothly. They just touched it casually and actually ran into the murderer himself.
The only thing that was more difficult was that this was another difficult case with no evidence and therefore no conviction, similar to the previous Qin Yi case. In Qin Yi's case, at least the system had suspicions first, and Yi Han was sent to investigate, but this time the hypnotist was different. He had higher qualifications than Yi Han and was deeply trusted by the company. If Yi Han reported him without any evidence, no one would believe him.
"…The mass suicide incident back then is probably still an unsolved case. Many of the victims at that time may have entered the escape game - hundreds of people. In addition to the original owner of the recipe, there must be others who have met him in the game. But after so long, he has not been exposed and has even become a senior executive of the company. If it weren't for his strong brainwashing skills, even the victims themselves would not have noticed the abnormality. If it weren't for the fact that all the insiders had been dealt with by him without anyone noticing. If you think about it this way, it is also doubtful whether the two people who 'suddenly said they didn't want to stay here and wanted to be reincarnated' have really been reincarnated."
Yi Han recalled the situation in the checkpoint and combined with the hypnotist's attitude afterwards, he was very sure that the other party had already included him in the list of threatening persons and had already started to deal with him.
"In that case, let's just get started." Currently, I am in the open and the enemy is also in the open. Yi Han is not afraid at all. He is even eager to make a move and even a little itchy.
It’s a pity that the hypnotist refused to tell him where he lived. He couldn’t ask a27 about this either. After all, a27 might not know his address… Even if he knew, seeing how stupid he looked, Yi Han couldn’t bear to drag him into this.
"I hope you don't make me wait too long. It would be best if you can attack me in the next copy." Yi Han helplessly sent a message to the hypnotist, "Hurry up!", and then after receiving a question mark, he found that he could only wait passively.
…
Not long after coming out of the dream level, Jian Lin, who had previously suffered brain damage from drugs and had never fully recovered, was subjected to a mental attack by the hypnotist. It seemed that his symptoms had recurred and his complexion looked a little bad again.
Anyway, there was nothing important right now, and the time was just right, so Yi Han took him to the hearse checkpoint again to see the old Chinese doctor for a follow-up consultation.
By coincidence, today seemed to be the birthday of a certain NPC employee. When Yi Han brought Jian Lin and Xiao Hei in, a dozen NPCs in the level were gathering at the entrance of the small hospital to cut a cake.
"You are here, come and eat cake with us!" Everyone was already familiar with Yi Han, and they waved and greeted him when they saw him from afar.
Yi Han nodded with everyone else and first told the old Chinese doctor about Jian Lin's condition. The old Chinese doctor immediately put down his chopsticks and pulled Jian Lin into the house.
"I'm sorry to have delayed your meal. Actually, I feel much better now. How about you..." Jian Lin still felt a little embarrassed.
"No, I don't like sweets anyway. Come on, I'll take a look at you first." The old Chinese doctor waved his hand, not being polite at all. The two of them pulled each other and quickly entered the ward.
Yi Han did not follow in. When he turned around, he found Xiaojiu, who was squeezed on a small bench with the NPCs, holding a cake in his hand and a small birthday crown on his head, staring at him.
"Is it your birthday?" Yi Han asked in surprise.
"What? You won't let me?" Xiaojiu said angrily.
"...Happy birthday." Yi Han found it a little funny, but didn't care about his attitude. After thinking about it, he took out two auxiliary props that were of no use to him from the inventory and handed them to him as a birthday gift.
Xiao Jiu took it in confusion, and then saw Yi Han find a chair to sit down. The person next to him handed him a plate and a piece of cake. He took it and said "thank you".
...Wait, is there something wrong?
Why does it feel like this annoying person has become part of my friend circle...? My friends actually like him a lot? He even came to my birthday party and ate my birthday cake... When did things become like this???
Xiaojiu, who had forgotten that she was the one who introduced Yi Han as "my friend", looked confused.jpg
"Young man, I heard that you are also an employee of the company. Will you stay here in the future and not leave?" Time passed by, the old Chinese doctor had not come out yet, Yi Han was chatting with everyone, and a teenage girl who was crazy about Yi Han's ice cream suddenly asked this question.
The NPCs in the hearse level all knew that Yi Han was the "y" who opened a gourmet food store, because they were often fed delicious food, and this little girl was the one who always ordered ice cream... As an ice cream addict, she certainly hoped that Yi Han would stay in the infinite world to sell ice cream forever. But Yi Han had never thought about this problem.
When he was first pulled into the game, Yi Han had only one thought in mind: to accumulate 100 million points and return to the real world. To achieve this goal, he frantically accumulated exploration points at each level, striving to get all the points.
But as he got to know this world better, he met all kinds of interesting NPCs and players. For the first time, he had a pet like Xiao Hei, a female friend like the witch girl (so miserable.jpg), and a companion like Jian Lin who he could risk his life for, and he also had his own career and home. Every aspect of this world was better and more comfortable than the real world.
However, he still couldn't make up his mind to completely give up the imperfect real world and stay in this safe haven. Fortunately, the game company didn't sign a contract with him, so he always had the freedom to leave.
Before he could figure out how to answer the little girl, Yi Han heard the old Chinese doctor calling him from inside the room.
So the topic was skipped. Yi Han left the table and walked into the ward. He saw Jian Lin already asleep on the bed. He didn't know if he had received treatment again, but he looked very weak.
"It's nothing serious, I just got hurt in the brain, so I have no resistance to attacks like mind control. If you encounter similar dungeons in the future, just take precautions. There are not many dungeons of this type, so you won't be unlucky enough to encounter them twice in a row, so don't worry." The old Chinese doctor said casually while holding a water cup, "There's nothing else to say. Do you have any illness that needs treatment? If not, I'll leave. You stay here and watch over me while I go to eat."
"No need...thank you." Yi Han was stunned for a moment, then thanked him with a helpless smile.
Jian Lin's situation was similar to what he thought, but the old Chinese doctor said...
There aren't many dungeons that have mental attacks, but Yi Han's enemy this time is a master of mental control, a psychiatrist who originally knew how to hypnotize, and now has become a high-level NPC in the game, so his abilities must have been enhanced many times. And with Jian Lin's aggressive luck, maybe he'll meet him again in the next dungeon...
It seems that more preparations need to be made.
So after leaving the hearse checkpoint, Yi Han returned home and started shopping online again.
Yi Han himself has a buff that can resist mind control, so he is not afraid of the next battle with the hypnotist, but Jian Lin and Xiao Hei do not have it. One of them has an old injury, and the other is an animal, so they have no resistance to this kind of enemy. Yi Han thinks that they are both his pets, and they are restricted by the contract and must always follow him into danger, so he should protect them.
I rummaged around in the mall, wanting to find something like Magneto's helmet to give one to each of them, but after searching for a long time, I couldn't find it.
In the end, Yi Han had to settle for the second best and bought a small box.
【Doll Box】
【Quality: Grade A】
【Condition: Brand new】
[Instructions: Use it on living things to temporarily turn them into Q-version dolls, put them in the box, and carry them with you. When the box is closed, it can block all attacks. Note: The isolation is two-way. If the person in the box wants to attack the person outside the box, the skill will be invalid.]
This thing has a defensive effect against all types of attacks. Since there are too few props designed only for mental attacks, Yi Han thinks it is a suitable choice.
After getting it, I tried it and found that it is indeed very useful. However, the box can only be used to protect others, not yourself. Therefore, strictly speaking, it is not a regular defense item and its level is only A.
…
After that, Yi Han only took a short rest for one day.
During the day, he was impatient to wait passively, so he picked up his phone several times and tried to talk to the hypnotist again. However, the hypnotist refused to listen and spoke like a customer service representative. He could not get his home address or even his phone number.
Yi Han felt like he was a wretched man harassing decent women. If he continued like this, he would probably receive a harassment warning from the system first...
By the second night, he couldn't stay any longer, so he put Jianlin Xiaohei in the box and started matching directly.
"Looking forward to meeting him." He touched the pot.
I don't know if it's because his desire to fight is too strong.
[System prompt: It is detected that you have been planted with a designated level signpost. This time, a map will be randomly drawn from the series of levels "Hide and Seek" to start the game. ]
[Map extraction in progress...]
【Draw completed! 】
[Level Name: Hide and Seek Doll Factory (Three Stars Special)]
[Number of players: 10]
[Level Description: Complete the hide-and-seek game with the evil spirits in the map. ]
[Clearance Reward: 400 points (basic points)]
[Failure penalty: Stay in this map forever, with evil spirits as your companion.]
The scene in front of him changed, Yi Han opened his eyes, but without having time to look around, he asked the system first.
"What are road signs? Similar to admission tickets?"
System: "Yes. The difference is that the admission tickets usually come from the system lottery, while the road signs come from NPCs or players."
Yi Han: "Then I got this in the dream level?"
System: "No background data detected. But theoretically, yes."
Yi Han raised his eyebrows and suddenly felt that this enemy was quite good, sensible and proactive.
I couldn't find his home address, so I thought I could only rely on my luck. I was also afraid that if the match was wrong, I wouldn't be able to find him this time. I didn't expect this guy to be so dishonest. He had clearly left a signpost to invite him to come, but he didn't tell me.
Although it seems that this is not his own level, it is probably one of his younger brothers, but Yi Han has never been picky, after all, it doesn't matter who you smash. After smashing the younger brother's house, can the eldest brother's house be far behind?
