The first thing Huo Jixiu said after he finished washing up and came out of the bathroom was to answer her question, "I don't come back often, so I don't hire anyone. Occasionally, a cleaning lady comes to clean."
"I see..." Mu Tiantian chuckled dryly, thinking to herself, "These ears are too sharp."
Huo Jixiu sat in a dry and simple wheelchair wearing a bathrobe, unlike the electric wheelchair he usually used for getting around.
Mu Tiantian asked, "What kind of help do you want me to do?"
"You can hypnotize, right?" Huo Jixiu said. "I want to know what happened to my soul outside during the two years I was in a coma."
Two years ago, after he regained consciousness, he felt extremely angry for some reason, to the point of being unable to control himself.
His ward seemed to be affected by him and began to tremble. The windows, tables, chairs, and chandeliers shattered instantly, scaring the nurse who brought him food half to death.
That day, Mu Yu happened to be in the same hospital as him. Noticing his abnormality, she sold him a string of Buddhist beads and told him about his condition, "During the two years you were in a coma, your soul must have left your body. Your spirit wandered outside and attracted some evil ghosts and vengeful spirits, which is why you have such great resentment. Do you remember what you were like when you were a spirit?"
Huo Jixiu, who had just regained consciousness, tried to recall, but his mind remained blank. "I don't remember."
Mu Yu instructed, "It's okay if you don't remember, but you must not take off this string of prayer beads, otherwise your resentment will not only easily hurt others, but also easily hurt yourself. Moreover, not a single one of the ten prayer beads can be missing, otherwise you won't be able to suppress it."
Huo Jixiu thanked him in a cold voice.
Mu Yu smiled, "No need for thanks. I just hope Mr. Huo will patronize my business in the future. But it's strange, logically speaking, if a living being harbors resentment, its body will reject it, and it should never be able to regain its senses. I've never seen anything like this before. It's too strange..."
...
Huo Jixiu briefly recounted what happened after he regained consciousness years ago to Mu Tiantian, and then said calmly, "Mu Yu's abilities are limited and she can't make me remember what happened in those two years. She suggested that I find a hypnotist."
After hearing what he said, Mu Tiantian started to get nervous. Sure enough, this favor wasn't so easy to do.
"There must be quite a few authoritative professional hypnotherapists in City A, so why did you choose me?" she asked curiously.
“I looked for them, but none of them could do it, and…” Huo Jixiu paused, not continuing.
Mu Tiantian asked anxiously, "And what?"
"It's nothing, let's begin." Huo Jixiu didn't answer.
It's nothing more than that some hypnotists were so frightened by his resentment during hypnosis that they had heart attacks, and after that got out, no hypnotist dared to take his case anymore.
However, these things should have little impact on her as an exorcist.
Moreover, he was certain that she knew something, and since she was unwilling to say, he would find a way to remember it.
Mu Tiantian felt a little uneasy and hesitated, not taking any action.
Huo Jixiu generously replied, "You decide on the payment."
"This is not about money."
"What's the problem?"
Mu Tiantian opened her mouth, but didn't say anything.
Thinking it over carefully, it might be worth a try. If things turn out well, we won't be completely clueless about his physical condition like we are now, unable to clear his resentment and cure his legs.
Mu Tiantian had him find a pocket watch and began to hypnotize him.
During the hypnosis, Huo Jixiu frowned, looked serious, and was sweating profusely, appearing very uncomfortable.
Mu Tiantian could clearly feel his resentment growing stronger, and the crystal chandelier in the bedroom shattered into pieces with a loud bang, like an explosion.
Bookshelves, wine racks, appliances, and everything else were damaged.
Upon seeing this, Mu Tiantian quickly put away the pocket watch and stopped the hypnosis.
However, Huo Jixiu was unable to regain consciousness; his hands were clenched into fists, and his face was contorted in pain.
Mu Tiantian stepped forward worriedly, gently patted his face, and called out loudly, "Huo Jixiu, wake up, Huo Jixiu?"
Suddenly, Huo Jixiu relaxed completely, lowered his head, and covered his face with his clenched fist.
Mu Tiantian squatted down and looked up at him, gently prying his hands apart, only to be met with a pair of resentful eyes.
Her azure eyes were filled with sorrow.
His eyes looked at her as if he wanted to kill her.
Mu Tiantian crouched down and slowly moved backward, while Huo Jixiu stared straight at her.
She swallowed nervously, realizing something was wrong; it seemed he had remembered.
She glanced at the door behind him; it was open.
Mu Tiantian slowly stood up, gave a dry laugh, and casually made up an excuse, "I see... your mouth is quite dry, let me get you a glass of water."
As soon as she finished speaking, she hurriedly walked towards the bedroom door, even jogging at one point.
And just as she reached the door...
Thud—
The door was slammed shut.
On either side of her were two strong arms, which held her tightly in place.
Mu Tiantian could see the bulging veins on the back of her hand when she looked up, showing how much force she had used to close the door.
She noticed that the arm seemed to be at the wrong height.
Mu Tiantian slowly turned around.
What comes into view is a scene of spring sunshine.
His chest rose and fell with his breathing, further highlighting his strong and powerful pectoral muscles.
Mu Tiantian looked down at her feet, which were standing straight on the ground. Through the gaps in her bathrobe, she could vaguely see her long, straight legs.
"Tian Tian." A clear, low voice came from above her head.
The next sentence sent chills down her spine: "You said you're going to marry someone else? Do you even remember what you promised me?"
"I'm not..." Before Mu Tiantian could finish speaking, Huo Jixiu's large hand instantly gripped her slender neck, and with a slight exertion, she felt difficulty breathing.
Seeing the pain on her face, Huo Jixiu felt heartbroken and relaxed his grip, gently caressing her smooth, creamy skin.
