Chapter 528: Mental Power Control (Part 2)
Demon Hawk definitely didn't have the courage to force Old Hawk, even with Jiang Chunian's help, it would be impossible.
However, if Demonhawk did not threaten Old Hawk, why did Old Hawk suddenly change his attitude and agree to let him announce the heir to the public?
It can't be because old Hawke has a fatherly love for his third son, right?
Ruan Qi was puzzled, and at this moment, Demonhawk's voice sounded in the headphones again.
"Father, now that the heir has been decided, what do you want to do with my dear eldest brother? I remember you once gave him many rights, and the future owner of these rights should be me."
Old Hawke: "Well, it should be you."
"It seems Father agrees with me." Demonhawke's tone was filled with a hint of smugness. "In that case, you should take back those rights from Big Brother. Big Brother isn't the heir, so it's not good for him to get too much, don't you think?"
Old Hawke hummed again, "Well, take it back."
After hearing this, Ruan Qi felt that there was something strange about Old Hawke.
Is this patriarch of the Hawke family a repeater?
Demonhawk said something and he repeated it?
As a father, do you listen to your son so much?
The more Ruan Qi thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. She stood up, grabbed the railing of the air conditioner outdoor unit, and leaned out again.
It was late at night, and the little girl in black was like a ghost, quietly putting her face to the window.
She looked inside cautiously.
In the study, Jiang Chunian sat leisurely on the sofa by the wall, holding a glass of red wine in his hand, and did not say a word from beginning to end.
Old Hawke was still sitting in the big executive chair, still with his back to the window, motionless.
And Demonhawk... Ruan Qi couldn't help but frown when he saw his posture.
Demon Hawke was actually half-sitting on Old Hawke's desk, looking arrogant, rude and undisciplined.
Seeing this scene, Ruan Qi felt more and more strange.
Given Old Hawke's authority in the family, how could Demon Hawke dare to be so presumptuous in front of him?
Is Demonhawk crazy?
"Seventh girl," Bai Li suddenly said, "pay attention to Old Hawke's hands."
hand?
Ruan Qi was stunned for a moment, and immediately looked at Old Hawk's hand on the armrest of the executive chair.
Seeing this, her brows furrowed even more tightly.
When a normal person puts their hands on a chair, their fingers will naturally curl or hang down. However, if the person is angry or excited, they may subconsciously grab the armrests of the chair or clench their hands into fists.
But that wasn't the case with Old Hawke's hands.
He was like a primary school student attending an open class, with his five fingers neatly put together and placed very neatly and properly on the armrest of the class chair.
This kind of sitting posture would be perfectly normal for an elementary school student, but when an elderly person in a high position of power does this, there's something strange about it.
Ruan Qi even had the illusion that Old Hawk was not a living person.
But he was definitely alive. The color of his skin and the hardness of his limbs all proved that he was still alive.
Why are his hands positioned like this?
Ruan Qi was thinking when there was a knock on the door in the earphones.
Someone knocked on the study door.
Demonhawk, who was half-sitting on the desk, immediately stood up. He walked over and opened the study door. A strange female voice also sounded in Ruan Qi's headphones.
"Third brother? Why are you here?"
"I'm discussing something with my father. Eva, what are you doing in the study?"
"I heard from the housekeeper that Daddy wasn't asleep yet, so I wanted to come and talk to him. Where's Daddy?" The woman called Eva must have glanced into the study, and when she saw Old Hawke sitting at the table, she said helplessly, "Dad, it's too late, you should go to bed. Have you forgotten what Doctor Joseph said?"
Old Hawke, who was sitting at the table, did not move.
Seeing her father ignoring her, Eva couldn't help but frowned in confusion, "Dad, why are you ignoring me?"
As the youngest daughter of old Hawke, Eva has always been very popular in the family. Old Hawke loves her very much and almost always grants her requests, wishing to hold her in the palm of his hand.
There had never been a situation like today where she spoke and Old Hawk didn't respond.
Eva couldn't help but wonder, "Dad?"
Old Hawk still didn't move.
But at this moment, Jiang Chunian, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly said, "Old Duke Hawke, your daughter is urging you to go to bed early. You should go back to bed."
This time, Old Hawke moved.
He stood up from the big chair and nodded slowly: "Okay, I should go back to bed."
Seeing her father being so obedient, Eva smiled on her pretty face.
"Then Dad, go to bed quickly. I'll go back to my room. Third brother, Mr. Jiang, good night."
The carefree young woman left the study in a happy mood, completely unaware of her father's abnormality.
But Ruan Qi outside the window could see it clearly.
Old Hawke seemed to have no reaction to anyone other than Damon and Jiang Chunian.
He was like... an intelligent machine programmed by Damon and Jiang Chunian, who only knew to obey the orders and arrangements of the programmer and would only repeat the instructions given by the programmer.
"Seventh girl," Bai Li stared at Old Hawke for a long time and suddenly said, "Does the old man look like he's been hypnotized?"
Ruan Qi frowned and shook his head hesitantly.
"Hypnosis can indeed control a person's behavior, but that's only for a short time. Once the hypnotist stops, the person will regain consciousness and have self-awareness. But Old Hawke has no self-awareness at all. His condition doesn't seem like hypnosis, but more like..."
Bai Li: "Like what?"
Ruan Qi pursed her lips and whispered, "It's like mental control."
Many people believe that hypnosis can control a person's behavior. In fact, this is all deified by movies and TV shows.
True hypnosis is actually a subconscious suggestion. The hypnotist uses words or actions to suggest to the hypnotized person, who then accepts the suggestion and obeys the hypnotist's instructions.
This sounds amazing, but it is extremely difficult to implement.
Because, for hypnosis to be successful, the environment, time, and the psychological state of the hypnotized person must all meet the hypnotic conditions. In particular, the hypnotist's psychological state must be such that he or she is willing to accept hypnosis and has no resistance to it, so that the hypnosis can proceed smoothly.
Otherwise, if anything goes wrong in any link, the hypnotized person's mental state will be affected and he may even go crazy.
Old Hawke was obviously not someone who would voluntarily accept hypnosis.
Moreover, given the environment he was in, the possibility of Jiang Chunian and Demonhawk completely hypnotizing him was basically zero.
Therefore, Old Hawke's situation should not be hypnosis.
The way he looks now is more like... mental control.
Ancient warriors or other people with special abilities use their powerful mental power to invade the other party's consciousness, thereby achieving the goal of completely controlling the other party.
If we say that hypnosis is a subconscious and mental suggestion.
Then mental manipulation is naked usurpation. This kind of usurpation does not require the consent or acceptance of the other party. As long as the mental power is strong enough, the person being manipulated can be completely turned into a slave!
