Qin Beiting stood to the side, watching them hypnotize Yu He with unwavering eyes.
"Beep beep~" At this moment, the computer connected to Yu He's brainwaves suddenly emitted an abnormal data alert.
The gazes of the three turned to the data alert on the computer screen. Yu He, who had been leaning in her chair, suddenly opened her eyes and sat up.
Her eyes were bloodshot, and a sinister smile played on her lips, making her look particularly chilling.
Seeing this, the complexions of the three instantly turned extremely grim. Although Qi Nan and Floyd were seeing Yu He like this for the first time, they had previously seen the recording of Yu He's stress response that Lu Yiming had taken, which was similar to this!
Qin Beiting had personally experienced her emergency outburst and was not unfamiliar with it. Before she could fully rise, he swiftly brought his hand down like a blade on the side of her neck, knocking her unconscious.
Floyd: !!!
Qi Nan: Uh oh...
"It's daytime now, why would she have a stress reaction to nyctophobia?" Qin Beiting asked.
Floyd immediately checked the data on the computer. The brainwave fluctuation data that had triggered the alarm had returned to normal after Yu He fainted.
He breathed a sigh of relief and explained, "It's the memories in her subconscious that are triggering her body's stress response. Ms. Yu isn't afraid of the dark; darkness is merely a trigger that awakens her subconscious memories."
"The memory Ms. Yu wants to recall has stimulated her survival crisis in her subconscious, so her body is reacting in self-preservation."
Qi Nan said, "This symptom shares a similar principle with dissociative identity disorder. However, Ms. Yu's primary personality is quite strong, which has prevented the emergence of a second personality."
Qin Beiting frowned. "Is it possible to alter her subconscious memories?"
"Yes, but it's not recommended," Floyd said. "It wouldn't be conducive to her recovery. Furthermore, even if her brain can withstand memory alteration, there's no guarantee that she won't recall the altered memories someday in the future. The risk is too high."
Qin Beiting narrowed his phoenix-like eyes, gazing at Yu He, who had fainted and was oblivious, slumped in the chair.
Thinking of how she had tormented herself in her efforts to recall that memory, his heart ached.
He didn't want her to recall that memory again. If possible, he wished she would never remember it.
"Alter that subconscious memory of hers," Qin Beiting said, his thin lips parting.
Hearing this, Floyd was greatly shocked. Only evil people would implant their own thoughts or alter memories through hypnosis. They, as legitimate psychologists, had their professional ethics and would absolutely not do such a thing!
Besides, wasn't Qin Beiting the boyfriend of the renowned divine doctor?
How could he make such a request!
"No! I cannot do this; it goes against my morals." Floyd refused.
"I told you to do it, so do it. Don't make me say it a third time!" Qin Beiting pulled out a gun from behind him and pointed it at Floyd.
Floyd swallowed hard as he looked at the dark muzzle of the gun pointed at him.
"Teacher, please just listen to him. Brother Ting wouldn't harm Ms. Yu; he's doing this for her own good," Qi Nan persuaded.
"We've discussed Ms. Yu's physical condition before. She is currently being controlled by her subconscious memories. As soon as she's in darkness, the subconscious memories are released, and her body enters a stress response.
"The more frequently this situation occurs, the higher the probability of developing a second personality, which would be even more dangerous. You also said before that these negative subconscious memories of hers should be cleared."
"What I meant by clearing was that she needs to accept and come to terms with that memory herself," Floyd argued.
"She can't accept that memory!" Qin Beiting said coldly.
He didn't want her to recall that memory again either.
Floyd couldn't win against the two of them, and most importantly, Qin Beiting had a gun. He had no choice but to comply.
Evening.
The sunset shone through the window onto Yu He's face. Her eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she slowly woke up.
Qin Beiting had been by her side all along. Seeing her wake up, he softly called out, "Baby?"
"How did I fall asleep?" Yu He asked, her eyes somewhat dazed. As she moved, she found her neck aching. She twisted her head left and right and said to Qi Nan, "Your chair is no good; it's too easy to get a stiff neck."
Qi Nan grumbled internally but said aloud, "I'll have someone replace it with a new one shortly."
"Let me give you a massage," Qin Beiting said, feeling a little guilty. He placed his hand on her shoulder and then tentatively asked, "Did you remember anything?"
Yu He thought for a moment. Apart from scenes of her playing with Qin Beiting when she was little, she couldn't recall anything else.
Was the method of hypnotic recall ineffective?
She shook her head. Qin Beiting breathed a sigh of relief. "Are you hungry? Let's go for dinner."
"Okay," Yu He replied. Seeing that only Qi Nan remained in the clinic and Floyd was nowhere to be seen, she asked Qi Nan, "Where's your mentor?"
Qi Nan: "He had something urgent and left."
Yu He found it a little strange. As she left the clinic, she felt as if she had forgotten something, but she just couldn't recall what it was.
"What are you thinking about?" Qin Beiting helped her put on her seatbelt, looking somewhat uneasy as he saw her lost in thought.
"Nothing," Yu He came back to her senses. "What are we eating? I'm so hungry."
"Bear with it a little longer; we're almost there," Qin Beiting said as he drove.
Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of a popular Ferris wheel amusement park. Two bodyguards stood at the entrance.
It was Valentine's Day, and many couples had come to celebrate, but they were all being blocked from entering.
"What is this? We booked our seats in advance; how can they just cancel them?"
"So unlucky. My first date, and the venue got canceled."
"I heard it was booked out."
"Someone who can book this place must have considerable influence."
"So envious. Which lucky girl gets the entire Ferris wheel park?"
"That girl must be so happy."
...
The people lingering at the entrance chattered amongst themselves.
Ye Xiaoxi stepped out of the car. Hearing the murmurs of passersby, she linked her arm with Qin Xinhui's and smiled shyly, "Brother Hui, you're too good to me."
"You like the Ferris wheel, and you don't like crowded places, so I booked the entire amusement park just to give you everything you like," Qin Xinhui said with a gentlemanly smile.
"You're truly so thoughtful." Ye Xiaoxi affectionately hugged his arm, resting her face on his shoulder. The two looked like a loving couple.
As they walked towards the amusement park entrance, they happened to see Qin Beiting and Yu He being stopped by security.
"I'm sorry, this place has been booked out, and unauthorized personnel are not allowed entry. All previously reserved seats will be compensated at triple the price," the bodyguard said.
Yu He raised an eyebrow and looked at Qin Beiting with curiosity, teasing, "Someone actually dared to cancel Fourth Master Qin's reserved seats!"
"..." Qin Beiting was also encountering this situation for the first time. The reservation was made temporarily by Chen Dong, and the contact information left was Chen Dong's.
He called Chen Dong to handle it.
Seeing this, Qin Xinhui couldn't help but feel a sense of triumph, finally having one-upped Qin Beiting.
"Uncle, what a coincidence, you're here too," he said deliberately as he walked over.
Qin Beiting shot him a cold glance.
"It's not a coincidence. This amusement park has been booked by me. Xiaoxi doesn't like crowds, so it's probably inconvenient to let you in," Qin Xinhui said regretfully. Then, he changed his tone, "However, if you beg me, Xiaoxi and I might consider letting you in."
