Chapter 124 Chapter 124
"I have a question though."
Zhou Qi asked, "How did you manage to get Herman into the sandbox game when he couldn't resist?"
Xia Meng looked at Luo Xunfei and said with a smile, "There's a ready-made example, isn't there?"
Isn’t what Luo Xunfei did to Cui Yang the first excellent example of applying sandplay games to mental images?
Zhou Qi hesitated. "But didn't you say before... Herman was still in London? Now he's halfway around the world away. What are you going to do? Fly over there again?"
It is naturally not realistic to fly there again.
Since they have to race against time, they cannot waste time rushing on the road.
Luo Xunfei pondered and asked, "Where is Liekong?"
When Li Zhou and Xia Meng brought him back from London, he was unconscious and didn't know that they had returned through Likong.
Xia Meng shook her head: "Emile's Sky Break is still in the cooldown period, so he can't open this portal."
Luo Xunfei raised his eyes and waited for her next words.
Based on his understanding of Xia Meng, since she spoke up, it meant that she already had a solution.
But, if she doesn't take a plane and can't use the Sky-Splitting Technique, is there any other way for her to return to London in a short time?
In the world of Vientiane, everything follows the rules of nature and the law of cause and effect.
Even the master of all things is no exception.
Or... as smart and cunning as she is, has she really found a loophole in the powerful rules of Vientiane?
Xia Meng glanced at him and knew without asking that he definitely wanted to do the splits.
"What are you thinking about? Before Li Zhou and I brought you back, we left a tube of guide element injection for Emil."
Luo Xunfei was bewildered: "Guide element injection? What use would that be?"
Li Zhou said, "This isn't just any guide essence. It's a specially made guide essence that Xia Meng had obtained through the connections of Director Bai at the Guide Center."
Originally, this thing was made for him.
He had used a lot of the guide element that Heita had specially customized for him in the past, but in the past two years, its effect had gradually begun to diminish.
Later, Xia Meng took the initiative to suggest making a new batch using her guide element.
This batch made ten injections.
He had never been willing to use any of them before.
This time when they were going to London, she specifically asked him to bring a few with him just in case.
Before they returned through the Sky Rift, Xia Meng gave three to Emil, one to heal his wounds, one to Lance, and one left -
Xia Meng picked up her phone and sent a message.
A few minutes later, the phone dinged.
Luo Xunfei glanced at her phone.
Only a short word appeared on the screen, four letters: Done.
Completed meaning.
Luo Xunfei: "What is this...?"
Xia Meng: "This is a heart anchor."
Heart anchor is a psychological concept that comes from the theory of conditioned reflex.
Simply put, it is when a person's emotion or behavior establishes a connection with something in the outside world, forming a conditioned reflex.
Like an anchor, it keeps emotions and behaviors fixed to something specific.
By establishing, activating, and repeatedly folding heart anchors, the mentally ill patient is brought into a sandbox game tailored for him.
This is the topic that Xia Meng and Wang Xiangyi have been studying.
It is also the main content of Xia Meng's master's thesis.
Previously, her research subjects had always been various extremely vicious antisocial criminals.
If the "anchor-sand tray" intervention method is proven to be effective, it can be foreseen that the crime rate of people with antisocial personality disorder may be greatly reduced in the future.
Ever since she awakened and entered the Black Tower, this research was forced to be put on hold.
For this reason, Wang Xiangyi was dissatisfied for a long time.
He felt that the successor he had carefully cultivated was poached by the Black Tower.
Now it seems that even though she has moved to the sentry world, she has not forgotten to put her knowledge into practice.
Wang Xiangyi smiled with relief.
Zhou Qi had never heard of this and couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
"A custom-made sandbox game? What kind of sandbox did you customize for Hermann?"
Xia Meng lowered her eyes.
What came to mind was the day when Hermann ignited the war. On that rooftop, she looked at him with pity and asked, "Do you have any other wishes?"
At that time, the world was shattered, civilization was severely damaged, and humanity was only able to survive.
All the obsessions that Herman had been pursuing for many years have been fulfilled one by one.
At that moment, all the resentment in his heart poured out, and he felt relieved. Naturally, he could see clearly what was left in his heart.
What did he say at that time?
——If you can really hope for it.
——He hopes that time can go back and smooth out all the rugged shadows.
This is what he desires most, hidden deep in his heart under years of resentment.
What he saw in the sandbox tailor-made for him was everything he desired most.
…
Luo Xunfei asked, "So, how long does it take for the Heart Anchor to take effect?"
The establishment and activation of heart anchors requires a long and repetitive process.
The key to establishing an anchor is when the other person's emotions, or psychological and mental state, are experiencing significant fluctuations. Once the anchor is established, each trigger activates it. Each activation deepens the anchor's imprint. Like a switch, each flip of the switch deepens the memory.
In the world of Vientiane, Xia Meng and Hermann did not have many opportunities to spend time together, and they had only met formally a few times.
But fortunately, in reality, she had already completed all the preliminary preparations.
She and Hermann had been together day and night for so many years.
Certain anchors had long been deeply rooted in his heart without his knowledge or awareness.
How long does it take for the heart anchor to work?
Luo Xunfei is also knowledgeable. In fact, he was in the audience when Xia Meng and Wang Xiangyi attended the meeting.
He guessed: "Three days? Seven days?"
Xia Meng said, "Huh?" "Why does it take so long?"
She has always been efficient.
She said, "The guide agent took effect when it was injected. He won't wake up in a short time."
If her guess was correct, Hermann at this moment was enjoying the pleasure and excitement of destroying everything.
At this point, Xia Meng clapped her hands: "Okay, now that things have come to this, let's hurry up and do what we need to do!"
The plan has already been made.
Everyone is already on the planned track.
An operation to save all mankind has officially begun.
…
Half an hour later, on the top floor of the Black Tower.
"What? Let me do it?" Ou Xu raised his finger and pointed at his nose, confused. "Why me?"
Xia Meng turned her head and curled her lips: "You can be of great help."
At this moment, intensive action is underway downstairs of the Black Tower.
Large numbers of special agents are rushing out.
Ou Xu: "How can I help? I can't carry anything on my shoulders or with my hands."
On this point, Ou Xu is still very self-aware.
He is just a weak counseling doctor. In this situation, at most he can only be a cheerleader to liven up the atmosphere, right?
"That's wrong!" Xia Meng smiled and began to brainwash him, "You have a serious misunderstanding of our guide's ability. Our mental power, at this moment, is the most powerful weapon to save the world!"
Ou Xu was somewhat excited after hearing this: "...Then, how can I save him?"
Xia Meng winked at him: "Use your 'Spring Grass'."
"Spring Grass" is Ou Xu's special ability.
After entering the spiritual picture, his spiritual power can be transformed into vibrant green meadows all over the mountains and fields, which then plays a role in guidance and purification.
Xia Meng: "I need your spring grass to cover the whole world."
Ou Xu: “…Huh?”
Ou Xu was dumbfounded. "Cover... the whole world? Where do I get so much mental energy? I can't even cover this Black Tower building with it, right?"
Xia Meng snapped her fingers: "Don't you still have me?"
His mental strength is not enough, so she uses her mental strength to make up for it!
What's more, the world of Wanxiang is originally a world created by her spiritual power.
"Okay." Ou Xu then bravely agreed, "What do you need me to do?"
If he is required to contribute, he will certainly do his best.
Xia Meng leaned close to his ear and explained everything in detail.
Ou Xu's expression changed from curiosity, to surprise, and finally to admiration.
He nodded: "OK, leave it to me!"
After saying that, he put his hands to his mouth, blew some hot air on them, and began to rub his hands together.
After a while, he sat down cross-legged and slowly placed his palms on the floor beneath him.
Mental power surged out from his palms.
Then, thin and tender grass began to grow on the ground.
Xia Meng leaned on the railing beside her and watched as large patches of emerald green grass began to grow around Ou Xu.
The green grass spread all the way to the bottom of the black tower.
Xia Meng turned her head and watched the green grass growing all the way out from the black tower.
It spreads all the way to the nature reserve behind it and also to the center of Beijing.
Green grass covers the streets and buildings.
Blown by the breeze, they spread like dandelion seeds to farther places.
Xia Meng turned around and put her fingers on the railing.
Where my fingertips touched, the fine and dense green grass was swaying in the breeze.
She lowered her eyes, placed her fingers on the railing, and began to dance as if playing a piano.
Under her fingers, the grass seemed to have really become piano keys.
The sound of the piano flowed from her fingertips.
Ou Xu looked up at the sound and asked curiously, "What song is this?"
Xia Meng didn't even raise her head: "Bach, 'Goldberg Variations'."
This is a form of music therapy.
Music therapy is a relatively new discipline that was initially applied in the field of psychological therapy.
Use the unique physiological and psychological effects of music to eliminate psychological barriers.
In 1890, Austrian doctor Lichtendahl published the concept of "music doctor".
In China, it can be traced back to Chinese medicine classics such as "Huangdi Neijing".
Xia Meng's plan is to use music therapy to quickly achieve her goal.
The spiritual power was transformed into musical notes, floating along the vibrant green grass and filling the world.
…
…
Luo Xunfei opened his eyes in reality.
The first moment he regained consciousness, he took a deep breath.
The cold wind froze him stiff all over.
He didn't know how long he had been freezing in the cold wind.
He looked up and saw Xia Meng, Li Zhou, and Hermann still maintaining the same posture as before he entered Wanxiang.
The snow had piled up thickly on them.
Li Zhou and Xia Meng were in better condition as they were covered by the eaves.
Hermann had almost been piled up like a snowman.
"Huh..." Luo Xunfei exhaled a breath of hot air, which instantly condensed into mist.
He propped himself up and stood up, raising his hand to shake off the snow on his body.
At this moment, footsteps were heard in the corridor behind him.
Luo Xunfei looked back and saw several fully armed soldiers coming towards him. Caught off guard, the two sides collided head-on.
"Whoa!" The leading officer, upon seeing the Black Tower uniform he was wearing, instinctively raised his rifle and shouted, "Who are you? From the Black Tower? A sentry or a guide? The whole city is arranging an evacuation, why haven't you left yet?"
Luo Xunfei sighed lightly, raised his hand and took out a high-level work ID from the Black Tower from the chest pocket of his uniform.
His face was frozen blue, and his tone was extremely serious. "I'm the Deputy Director of the Inspection Department of the Security Center of the Black Tower Beijing Branch. My name is Luo Xunfei. According to the special provisions of the Black Tower Public Security Management Law, in the event of a major security incident caused by a sentry to humans, the Black Tower has the right to take priority command. Please contact the highest commander of the rescue team immediately. I need to speak with him directly."
