Chapter 27 Gu Sheng did not answer Jiang Lin's question...
Gu Sheng didn't answer Jiang Lin's question, but instead asked directly, "Can you tell me where you hid those heads?"
Gu Sheng carefully observed Jiang Lin's every reaction after hearing the question. He saw Jiang Lin tilt his head slightly, then lower his head, stare at Gu Sheng with his eyes raised, and say in an exaggerated tone, "Ah, another lost sheep. Tell me, what wind blew you here?"
His words were incoherent and nonsensical; he was indeed a madman. Gu Sheng frowned; this kind of person was the most troublesome.
Even if you hypnotize such a person, you still can't tell whether what they say is true or just what they believe to be the truth.
Although Gu Sheng himself agreed to give Li Qingyue a try, he now regrets it a bit, as he can't get any information out of her.
However, Gu Sheng glanced at the surveillance camera in the corner of his eye.
Since he's here, he can't just do nothing. At least he should buy some time so that the people monitoring him think he's done his best. Anyway, this case has been going on for two years, and they must have exhausted all methods. Calling Gu Shenglai is just a last resort. It's normal if he fails.
Visiting the adjacent room.
A man dressed as a prison guard looked at Gu Sheng and Jiang Lin on the monitor and said to Li Qingyue beside him, "Gu Sheng? He looks very young. Is he really okay?"
Li Qingyue said with certainty, "Warden, you can trust Gu Sheng. He will definitely be able to find out something. You've seen the announcement from J City. I've talked to my colleagues in J City and learned more details. Gu Sheng has done more than what they reported."
The warden sighed and said, "It's not that I don't trust him, it's just that we've consulted several hypnosis experts before, but none of them worked. One expert even ended up in the hospital for treatment after meeting with Jiang Lin."
“Gu Sheng is different; he always succeeds.” In Li Qingyue’s view, anyone who knows Gu Sheng would have confidence in him.
Gu Sheng had no idea what Li Qingyue was thinking. If he did, he would definitely deny Sanlian, saying, "I didn't, I didn't, don't talk nonsense."
For Gu Sheng, the question now is: what can you talk about with a madman?
Gu Sheng thought for a moment and felt that this wasn't a very important issue. He was a madman, so he could just chat with him casually. He said, "Do you know that you're actually insane?"
Jiang Lin's eyes darted around unnaturally. He muttered to himself, "Mad? What an interesting word. Psychologically speaking, madness is just how most people define a minority, but..."
He suddenly sprang up, leaning forward as if trying to get closer to Gu Sheng, but was stopped by the chains binding him. He continued, "Truth often lies in the hands of a minority."
Gu Sheng was used to Jiang Lin's sudden mood swings, and he didn't care about Jiang Lin's answer. He just wanted to find something to talk about anyway.
Gu Sheng said, "So in your opinion, you're the normal person, and everyone else is crazy?"
Jiang Lin chuckled twice, then muttered softly, "What's normal, what's crazy? There's no difference at all. It's pointless to distinguish between them."
Gu Sheng asked curiously, "Then tell me, what has meaning?"
Jiang Lin raised his head, staring blankly ahead. He said, "Meaning, immortality is meaning. I'm going to be immortal! I'm about to be immortal! Haha, hahaha, hahaha..."
Immortality? He's pursuing immortality? Are all these things he's doing for the sake of immortality?
Gu Sheng asked, "You killed those people for immortality?"
Jiang Lin did not answer Gu Sheng's question; he was simply lost in his own world, muttering something softly.
Gu Sheng looked at Jiang Lin but didn't say anything more.
Speaking of immortality, Gu Sheng thought of the Holy Lord and the Blue Moon Council, recalling that Li Qingyue seemed to have said that some people in the common people believed in the Holy Lord because of the desire for immortality.
Could Jiang be a follower of the Holy Lord?
"Have you ever heard of the Holy Lord?" Gu Sheng asked Jiang Lin, who was muttering to himself.
Jiang Lin fell silent instantly. He looked up at Gu Sheng and gave him a strange smile: "Holy Lord?" He then burst into laughter, a mocking laugh. As he laughed, he said, "Just a loser, trash, a liar, a filthy person."
Judging from this, he doesn't believe in the Holy Lord and even dislikes Him.
Could it be that someone close to him has experienced something bad because of their faith in the Holy Lord?
Gu Sheng asked, "You really dislike the Holy Lord?"
Jiang Lin suddenly fell silent, then put his finger to his lips and shushed him. He looked at Gu Sheng and whispered, "Hate him? No, I don't hate him. He's just a clown."
A clown? If that's the case, then in Jiang Lin's mind, He must have done something that could be called a clown.
Gu Sheng asked, "What did this clown do?"
Jiang Lin shut his mouth, silently lowered his head, and completely ignored Gu Sheng.
Gu Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Jiang Lin who was not saying a word. He had not originally planned to hypnotize him, but Jiang Lin's lack of cooperation during a simple chat was making Gu Sheng feel very irritated.
He looked at the surveillance camera in the corner and mouthed to the person watching: I want to go to the toilet.
The door was quickly opened, and Gu Sheng walked out of the visiting room, while Li Qingyue stood outside.
"How is it?" Li Qingyue asked.
Gu Sheng shook his head: "The illness is too severe; communication is almost impossible."
Li Qingyue thought Gu Sheng was frustrated, so he said, "Don't be discouraged. Being able to communicate with him is already very impressive."
The guard led Gu Sheng to the restroom. Gu Sheng was actually looking for a tool that could be used for hypnosis, but he hadn't seen one along the way.
If not, that's fine; it's not a problem for Gu Sheng.
Gu Sheng washed his face and then went back into the visiting room.
He glanced at the time; it was 10:40.
Gu Sheng's face was very serious, but what he was thinking was to do something casually to drag the time out until 11:30, which would be just in time for lunch.
I haven't had a hamburger in ages. I'll find a hamburger place for lunch when I get back.
Thinking this, Gu Sheng tapped on the table, trying to attract Jiang Lin's attention, but Jiang Lin completely ignored Gu Sheng.
Gu Sheng sighed, then got up and walked to Jiang Lin's side, tapping on the table in front of him.
Visiting the adjacent room.
The warden watched Gu Sheng on the screen nervously: "It's too dangerous." There was a reason why Jiang was chained up with so many chains: he was too prone to suddenly attacking people.
Li Qingyue wasn't worried at all. He said, "Don't worry, Gu Sheng is very skilled."
The warden glanced at Li Qingyue and said, "You trust your friend a lot."
“He deserves to be trusted,” Li Qingyue said.
During the visit, Gu Sheng, whom Li Qingyue described as trustworthy, successfully caught Jiang Lin's attention.
Jiang Lin looked at Gu Sheng with a puzzled expression.
Gu Sheng's hand was very close to Jiang Lin's eyes, and he waved his hand in front of Jiang Lin's eyes as if it were unintentional.
Jiang Lin's eyes involuntarily followed Gu Sheng's hand movement.
His eyes instantly turned irritated, his body tensed slightly, and he wanted to get up to vent his frustration.
However, the moment he showed signs of agitation, Gu Sheng suddenly reached out and grabbed his hair, pulling it in the opposite direction.
This caused Jiang Lin, who was about to get up, to be pressed back into the chair.
Jiang Lin blinked, his emotions interrupted. He wasn't angry, but his eyes showed a hint of confusion, as if he didn't realize what had happened.
However, that slight doubt only lasted for a moment before he became even more agitated and reached out to strike Gu Sheng.
Gu Sheng stretched out his index finger and waved it in front of Jiang Lin's eyes a few times.
Jiang Lin's gaze was drawn by Gu Sheng's fingers, moving around before finally settling on Gu Sheng's lips.
Gu Sheng put his finger to his lips and made a "shh" gesture.
Jiang Lin didn't know why, but his previous agitation suddenly disappeared, and his hand froze in the air, motionless.
Gu Sheng whispered, "Relax, I don't intend to hurt you." Although he was still holding Jiang Lin's hair.
Jiang Lin was calmed down by Gu Sheng's words. He lowered his hand and sat down obediently.
Gu Sheng smiled: "Good boy." He released his hand from Jiang Lin's hair.
The moment he let go, Jiang Lin's eyes turned fierce, and he grabbed the chain, ready to smash it down on Gu Sheng's head.
Gu Sheng calmly took a step back, and then snapped his fingers in front of Jiang Lin's face just as Jiang Lin's hand was about to strike.
Jiang Lin stopped moving instantly.
As Gu Sheng backed away, he beckoned to Jiang Lin with his finger.
Jiang Lin's body suddenly began to lean forward following Gu Sheng's movements, and he fell to the ground as if he were drunk.
Gu Sheng circled around Jiang Lin, and finally stood opposite Jiang Lin.
Gu Sheng said, "Stand up."
Jiang Lin felt that his body was no longer under his control, and he even stood up at Gu Sheng's command.
Gu Sheng then said, "Sit down."
Jiang Lin immediately obediently did so.
Gu Sheng half-squatted down, looked into Jiang Lin's eyes, and said softly, "You have to listen to me, okay?"
For the first time, fear appeared in Jiang Lin's eyes. He nodded uncontrollably, shouting, "What have you done? Let me go, let me go, you heretic!"
Visiting the adjacent room.
The warden's eyes widened as he looked at Gu Sheng on the screen and said, "Is this hypnosis?" This was quite different from the hypnosis he had seen before. Shouldn't they at least use a pocket watch or some other prop to guide the hypnotized person to relax, and then ask questions while they were relaxed?
But what Gu Sheng did seemed to be just casually waving his finger, and then controlling Jiang Lin's body while Jiang Lin was still conscious?
The warden could understand Jiang Lin's fear at that moment; even he would be afraid in his place.
Jiang Lin is insane, but he's not stupid. He'll even feign madness when he's not actually having an episode in order to achieve his goals.
The prison warden has suffered countless losses in the past two years. If it weren't for S City's ban on vigilante justice, Jiang Lin would be missing an arm or a leg by now.
Seeing Jiang Lin get his comeuppance, the warden felt a sense of satisfaction.
This was also the first time Li Qingyue had witnessed Gu Sheng's hypnosis. Although he knew that Gu Sheng's hypnosis would be somewhat different, what he was seeing now was beyond his comprehension.
Can hypnosis achieve this level of effectiveness?
During the visit, Jiang Lin sat obediently in his seat. If you ignored his frightened eyes, he looked like he was listening attentively to Gu Sheng.
Gu Sheng said, "I'll ask, and you answer, okay?"
Jiang Lin kept his lips tightly closed and did not speak.
