"Tell me, what are the characteristics of your sweetheart?" Simon picked up his notebook and began to record.
"He's very handsome and mature, with a very gentle yet slightly stern smile. Oh, and he was wearing a white shirt and black hair that day, and he looked a little panicked in the storm... Hey, Doctor, why do I feel like... you look a bit like my sweetheart?"
Mr. Hai stared at Simon, his eyes fixed on him for a moment.
Simon smiled slightly and said in a gentle voice: "Now, look into my eyes and do what I say carefully!"
Mr. Hai nodded blankly, then looked Simon in the eyes.
Those eyes were very deep and gentle, like a vast ocean, hiding countless treasures.
"Now lie down," said Simon.
Then Mr. Hai obediently lay down on the examination chair.
Simon stretched out his hand and pressed it on Mr. Hai's forehead. His voice carried a hint of mystery and temptation from the depths of the sea.
"Recall the moment you fell in love with him..." Simon continued speaking his words, his expression gradually becoming more focused, "Go back to that moment... as if you were in the ocean..."
At the same time, in the street garden outside, Ming Huan was stunned.
Yesterday, I just swiped my pet's bank card to buy some small things, and it made him bankrupt?!
Not only did he go bankrupt, but he also had to start seeing patients early in the morning.
Ming Huan felt a little guilty.
"Yeah! You're just such an ancient cat demon, don't you know how important money is to humans?" Light Blue continued chattering, "I wanted to help Simon make more money this time, so I specially picked this wealthy mermaid for him. Hey, do you know anything about mermaids? I heard they're all very infatuated..."
Ming Huan turned and left without paying any attention to Qian Lan. He walked to the door of the clinic, jumped up, and jumped onto the windowsill of the clinic.
The window of the examination room was not closed. Ming Huan gently stretched out his claws to lift the curtain and saw the mermaid lying on the examination chair with her eyes closed and her lips trembling slightly.
Next to the mermaid, a young and handsome doctor was stretching out a hand, pressing the mermaid's forehead, muttering something.
Qianlan also followed. He flashed in the air and turned into a rice-sized earphone, which he put next to Minghuan's ear to show off his Xuefu 500T.
"Look! The master is hypnotizing! Hypnosis! I've read so many books on hypnosis, and finally I've seen real live hypnosis! It's the oldest kind, the one where they press their hands on the patient's forehead to hypnotize them!"
In the clinic, Simon was concentrating on providing emergency treatment to Mr. Hai and didn't notice his cat squatting on the windowsill.
Simon's voice was deeper, steadier.
"What were you thinking at that moment? The moment you saw that person on the cruise ship."
Mr. Hai's breathing on the recliner became a little erratic, and he was completely immersed in the events of that night.
The young man on the cruise ship looked a little gloomy and depressed.
The man stood on the deck, leaning on the handrail of the cruise ship, looking at the sea.
Mr. Hai was looking up at the man under the water.
That person inexplicably made Mr. Hai feel familiar, as if... something was vibrating deep in his heart.
This is probably the legendary love at first sight.
"I fell in love with him at first sight!"
But Simon doesn't believe in love at first sight at all.
There is no love without reason in the world. Psychologists have studied love thoroughly.
To put it bluntly, most love is nothing more than transference.
It's just the reappearance of an unfulfilled wish.
Finding out Mr. Hai's wish is equivalent to mastering his love. Satisfying his wish is equivalent to... changing his love.
This operation is difficult for ordinary people, even for ordinary psychologists.
But Simon is not an ordinary psychiatrist. He is a psychiatrist who has entered the soul land of the snake spirit, subdued the computer monster, has a reserve bonus of 500 T, and his bank card has just been maxed out, and he is in urgent need of making money.
"Tell me what you were thinking!"
"I was thinking... I wasn't thinking anything at the time... I just hoped... I had this inexplicable hope, hope..."
Simon knew he had grasped the point. He asked, "Hope for what?"
The psychiatrist's voice, magnetic and magical, penetrated into Mr. Hai's ears.
This made Mr. Hai's already deep memories enter a deeper realm.
At this moment, a thought that had never occurred to him before emerged from the hypnotized Mr. Hai's heart.
Mr. Hai's throat was trembling slightly, and he said words that even he himself could not believe.
"I just hope, I just hope that person will apologize to me. When I...when I first saw him...when I woke up from my sleep...he apologized to me! That cold and serious face, apologize to me!"
Mr. Hai suddenly opened his eyes, and Simon's face appeared in front of him.
Mr. Hai looked at Simon blankly.
Simon's expression looked serious and indifferent at this moment.
Simon said softly, "I'm sorry."
It was these three words that penetrated into Mr. Hai's cochlea through the air and went straight into his heart.
Mr. Hai didn't move, just staring at Simon blankly.
A tear rolled down Mr. Hai's eye and he asked, "Why do you want to say sorry?"
Simon flashed his watch. "Because the time is up, today's treatment ends here, but I don't know if I can save you. If you are still alive tomorrow morning, remember to come find me!"
Mr. Hai stumbled out of the clinic. He didn't have much confidence that he would be able to survive until tomorrow morning, but... for some reason, when he thought about the fact that his sweetheart was getting married today, he didn't feel that sad at all.
On the windowsill, Qianlan, who witnessed this scene with Minghuan, ran out of the cat ears excitedly, jumped in front of Simon, and clapped loudly.
"Master, you're a genius!" Light Blue said, "You hypnotized that mermaid back to the moment they fell in love at first sight, and then replaced his beloved with yourself. Since you won't be getting married anytime soon, the mermaid's life is saved! That mermaid is so ugly, yet you're willing to sacrifice yourself for him. If I don't go to hell, who will?"
Simon wiped the sweat from his forehead and fell weakly into the armchair.
Hypnosis, especially hypnotizing a monster, had really taken a lot of mental energy. If the mermaid wasn't going to die tomorrow morning, and if the sea witch's curse wasn't so harsh, Simon wouldn't have wanted to get into this kind of trouble.
After all...this kind of operation of deliberately inducing transference in patients is against the professional ethics of psychiatrists...
I hope... Mr. Hai can survive until tomorrow morning, escape the sea witch's curse, and come back alive.
