Chapter 852: Another person hypnotizes Xiao Qi (Part 3)
Ruan Qi often traveled out of town for work. Without Xi Jiu and Nie Beilou by her side 24/7, there was no way to confirm if anything strange had happened to her while she was out on her own.
Xi Jiu thought for a moment and took out his phone: "I'll call Xi Xi. He's Xiao Qi's personal bodyguard. If anything strange happened, he would definitely know."
Xixi's call was connected quickly.
Xi Jiu briefly explained Ruan Qi's situation. After Xi Xi understood it, he thought about it seriously for a while.
"Strange things... Xiao Qi has been abroad participating in the global competition for the past few days. If there is anything strange, it is the terrifying express delivery that Jiang Chunian sends her from time to time."
Xi Jiu: "Apart from the terrifying delivery? Are there any other anomalies?"
"Other anomalies..." Xixi tried to recall. After a while, he suddenly exclaimed, "Something did happen!"
Xi Jiu: "Hurry up and tell me."
Xixi quickly replied, "Xiaoqi once heard a strange sound of music."
"Music?"
"Yes," Xixi said, "Master, do you remember when Xiaoqi went abroad to film the movie 'The Lord of the Rings'? After that trip, we flew back home. While waiting in the VIP lounge at the airport, Xiaoqi heard a song called 'Lullaby'."
Xi Jiu frowned: "Isn't this the song playing at the airport?"
"No. There was no music at the airport at the time, and Mo Lan and I didn't hear it either. Only Xiao Qi heard it, and her face looked very bad at the time, as if she was upset. She kept saying she had a headache."
It was indeed strange that only Ruan Qi could hear the music.
Xi Jiu looked up at Chu Yujiang.
The call was on speakerphone, and Chu Yujiang heard everything Xi Xi said just now.
He narrowed his eyes thoughtfully and asked Xixi, "Besides that time, has Xiaoqi ever heard the song 'Lullaby' again?"
Xixi: "I think not. Xiaoqi went to the Rongyao League Global Tournament a while ago without me, Mo Lan, or He Ma, so I don't know if she heard the music again during that trip. I think it's better to ask Xiaoqi herself about this."
Of course everyone knows that it is best to ask Ruan Qi himself.
But Ruan Qi's mental state was too bad, and they couldn't bear to let her recall it.
Xixi on the other end of the line seemed to guess what they were worried about and couldn't help but speak up, "Given my status, I shouldn't be saying these things. But Patriarch, Mr. Beilou, Xiaoqi's mental state is already like this, how much worse can it get? Keeping secrets from her will only put Xiaoqi in more danger. She's not a greenhouse flower that needs protection; you should trust her more. Patriarch, Xiaoqi isn't a nine-year-old child; she's grown up."
Yes, Ruan Qi has grown up.
She was stronger than they thought.
Take the incident with the Iceberg Brother, for example. Xi Jiu and Nie Beilou had always worried that Ruan Qi would lose control of her emotions after learning that Xi Jiu was the Iceberg Brother, so they had never dared to tell her. But after learning the truth, Ruan Qi gritted her teeth and stood strong.
She is indeed no longer the fragile child who needed protection ten years ago.
Xi Jiu looked up at Nie Beilou. Nie Beilou hesitated for a while and nodded.
"Let's wait until Xiaoqi wakes up and ask her directly."
…
It was almost evening when Ruan Qi woke up.
She had a quick meal and was then dragged to the hypnotist by Nie Beilou and the other two.
Chu Yujiang asked her about "Lullaby".
Ruan Qi was stunned for a moment, then nodded. "I have indeed heard this song before. The first time was when I was in the VIP lounge on my way back to China after filming The Lord of the Rings. Another time, I heard it on the plane when I was on my way to participate in the Glory Alliance Global Tournament."
Chu Yujiang: "Didn't anyone else hear it?"
"Probably not," Ruan Qi replied. "The song was sung by a woman with a very creepy voice, which would make anyone who heard it feel uncomfortable. But no one around me reacted at the time. I asked my teammates, and they all said there was no music."
Chu Yujiang asked in detail about the lyrics and tune of Ruan Qi's "Lullaby". After confirming the information, his face darkened.
"Uncle Chu, is there something wrong with that song? Am I hallucinating?" Ruan Qi asked him.
Chu Yujiang nodded: "Yes, but also no. Your mental strength is very strong. Unless your sea of consciousness completely collapses, hallucinations will not occur with the strength of your mental strength. But there is one exception."
"What's going on?"
"Hypnosis." Chu Yujiang uttered two words.
Nie Beilou's expression changed. "Are you saying that besides you, there are other people hypnotizing Xiao Qi?"
"Indeed." Chu Yujiang's face was solemn. "This person's hypnotic skills are very strong. He can hypnotize people in daily life through various means such as sound, color, and smell, and the hypnotized person will not feel any discomfort, or even realize that they are being hypnotized. The reason why Xiaoqi heard the music is because that person hypnotized her through sound."
At this moment, the faces of several people in the room turned ugly.
Ruan Qi felt horrified at the thought of being hypnotized silently.
She tensed her back and asked Chu Yujiang, "Uncle Chu, how does this person's hypnosis skills compare to yours?"
Chu Yujiang thought about it and gave an answer.
"Theoretically, there's no comparison. I use orthodox hypnosis methods, while he uses something akin to witchcraft. We have different factions. But if we must compare, his strength is superior to mine."
Chu Yujiang is already a top hypnotist in the world, but there are people in this world who are even better than him.
The first person Ruan Qi thought of was Jiang Chunian.
Before ancient martial arts were abolished, Jiang Chunian was indeed a mental force controller, and his strength was very strong.
But his ancient martial arts and mental strength have been wasted. Without even mental strength, how can he perform such a difficult hypnosis?
Ruan Qi turned to look at Xi Jiu. Xi Jiu was silent for a moment, then said in a cold voice, "Organization X."
The drug developed by Organization X can increase human strength to the extreme in a short period of time.
The last time Xi Jiu fought Jiang Chunian abroad, he felt that his internal strength had recovered. Now that he thought about it, Jiang Chunian had recovered not only his internal strength but also his mental strength.
The person who secretly used "Lullaby" to hypnotize Ruan Qi was most likely him.
Only he could use the evil hypnosis to such a strange and unpredictable degree.
Xi Jiu's face turned cold, and his eyes were filled with cold light.
He took a deep breath and asked Chu Yujiang: "Is there any way to break the hypnosis that person has cast on Xiao Qi?"
"There's no way for now." Chu Yujiang shook his head. "To awaken the hypnotized person, you need an anchor. This anchor might be a sentence, a name, or a piece of music. There's no other way. Forcibly awakening the hypnotized person will cause irreparable damage to their mind."
Say it a thousand times: Jiang Chunian, die!
