Chapter 257 Hugo's Adventures in Wonderland (Part 2)
First frightened by Cobot and then frozen by Victor, Hugo still didn't want to give up. He felt that this might also be a coincidence with extremely low probability. Two geniuses with unique consciousness spaces came together and became
Master and disciple, although this possibility is very small, it is not impossible to happen.
Apart from these two people, the most recent person with a record of treatment is Evans Falcone.
When he saw this surname, Hugo hesitated, but decided to invite him over. Hugo felt that if he didn't use any radical means and just took a look, he would probably not offend the famous godfather.
Evans' situation was similar to Copot's. He was not aware of Schiller's resignation and was relatively cooperative with the request for follow-up consultation. When he came to Hugo's clinic, just like the previous times, Hugo asked him to lie down.
Get on the chair, start the machine, and stick the patch on your head.
After entering Evans' consciousness space, Hugo was stunned again, because there was a large theater in Evans' consciousness space.
This is nothing, it's just the same situation as Copot, but the problem is that next to this theater, there is an old manor that is half built.
It doesn't matter if there are two buildings, but the building next to it is still under construction. When Hugo came in, a figure walked out of the building under construction, looked at Hugo up and down and said: "You are
Who? How did you get in here?"
Suddenly, his expression changed and he said, "Are you a killer?"
Hugo saw that the person opposite him moved his hands, but then calmed down again. The person opposite said: "No, if he wants to kill me, he will definitely do it himself..."
At this time, Hugo also saw that the person existing in Evans's consciousness seemed to be different from himself. He asked: "...dual personality?"
"Yes, you are not a psychiatrist, are you?"
Hugo sensed some dangerous qualities from this man, so he said as calmly as possible: "Yes, I am giving you hypnotherapy. What is your name?"
The man looked Hugo over and said: "My name is Alberto. Hypnotherapy? I have never heard of this item in Evans' treatment plan..." "I am a new psychiatrist. My treatment method."
That's it, you don't need to feel nervous, I'm just making sure that your current mental state is normal..."
"Okay, then don't delay my work. My house is just half-finished. You can go visit the building opposite."
Hugo took a closer look at the half-built house, and he found that it was still astonishingly detailed. Even the bricks that were not stacked and the cement that was mixed into a ball were clearly visible.
"What are you building?"
"Build a house, or else?"
“Why build a house?”
Alberto looked at Hugo like he was an idiot and said, "If I don't build a house, where will I live?"
This question really stumped Hugo. This logic made perfect sense in reality, but he didn't know how to explain it to the people in front of him. In fact, there is no need to build a house in the conscious world of normal people.
.
Alberto waved his hand at him impatiently and said: "The person you want to examine and treat is in the house next to him. You go find him and don't bother me."
Hugo felt that the dangerous aura around him was getting stronger and stronger, and he did not dare to stay for a long time for fear of causing further trouble, so he walked out of the building under construction and walked to the theater opposite.
As soon as he entered the theater, he was stunned again, because there were more than a dozen Evans rehearsing the script on the stage, and what was outrageous was that there were many spectators in the auditorium.
What's even more outrageous is that there is Schiller in the audience.
Hugo hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether to go in because he felt a great danger in the backs of these spectators.
He swallowed, stopped his progress, and retreated silently.
He didn't even dare to press the button and ended the trip to Evans' consciousness space. Evans got up from the chair and yawned, then stretched, feeling that he had had a strange dream.
But he couldn't remember what he was dreaming about, so he said: "Thank you, doctor, is the treatment over?"
"It's over..." Hugo replied somewhat distractedly.
After Evans left, he was still frozen in place, because what happened recently was indeed beyond his expectation.
He encountered a huge challenge in the first step of his career in Gotham, because his worldview was subverted. No matter from any aspect, the possibility of three rare geniuses appearing in a row should be zero.
Hugo couldn't figure out what the problem was. All his previous theories were based on the fact that the consciousness space of ordinary people was chaotic and lacking. Therefore, he felt that he could manifest in the consciousness space.
The complete image of himself is inherently higher than ordinary humans, so he can also control them.
But what happened to him recently was that he happily moved into a new home, and then got three big fights every step of the way.
Hugo is worthy of being a professional psychology expert. He has a strong self-regulation ability. He quickly came out of this shadow and thought about a key point, that is, what appeared in the consciousness spaces of these three people at the same time.
Schiller Rodriguez.
Hugo now suspected that Schiller might have used a therapy unknown to him to transform the consciousness spaces of these three people into this way. This was not impossible.
Hugo had read all of Schiller's papers and research reports overnight in the past few days. He had to admit that Schiller's theory of the palace of thought was unlikely to be made up out of thin air, because it is impossible to make it so detailed and true out of thin air.
Because of his pride, Hugo did not read these papers carefully, but only took a general look. After reading carefully, he discovered that Schiller might have really mastered some unknown psychological skills, and perhaps he was using
This technique transformed his patients.
Hugo suddenly felt resentful. He was also conducting illegal human experiments. He was discovered, hunted down, and then fired. He could only run to Gotham to avoid trouble, but Schiller was still a world-renowned top psychologist.
Learning from the master, this is not fair at all.
Schiller obviously did the same thing as him, which was to use his professional knowledge to transform patients, but he did it more covertly and less easily discovered. Therefore, not only did he not pay the price for it, but he became famous, which made him famous just now.
Hugo, who was fired and expelled, was very unbalanced.
For this reason, Hugo came up with the idea of finding a way to expose Schiller.
Then, a more dangerous idea appeared in Hugo's mind. If he could control Schiller, then all his skills, knowledge, reputation, and status would be used for him.
But Hugo also knew very well that both of them were insiders. Hugo knew something about Schiller’s research direction, and Schiller probably knew the same about Hugo. It would be wrong to deceive Schiller like he deceived these patients.
It was very possible. Even if he was deceived, Hugo would not be sure to hypnotize such a colleague.
Therefore, Hugo felt that he needed a careful plan and a partner.
Finally, his eyes stopped on the medical record at the bottom, where a name "Jack" without a surname was written on it.
All the weather forecasts in Gotham did not predict that in such an early autumn, it would actually snow in Gotham. Although it was very fine light snow and it was not too cold, it was still a strange news.
Small, crystal-clear snowflakes slowly fell from the sky and landed on the roof of Arkham Psychiatric Hospital. After the mottled tiles on the roof of the somewhat old hospital were covered, it looked brand new.
Because this hospital was built a long time ago, its architectural structure is not that of a modern psychiatric hospital. On the contrary, it retains some of the special structures of mental hospitals from the previous era, such as the basement for dealing with some troublesome illnesses.
The fierce light flickered, and a white halo spread in front of his eyes. Schiller opened his eyes, and there were two figures in front of him.
"you're awake……"
Hugo was playing with a machine on the table opposite Schiller, and Jack was leaning on the railing next to him, picking his fingers out of boredom.
Hugo looked at Schiller who was tied to the chair opposite. At this time, the professor was fixed on a somewhat old interrogation chair, with his hands clasped by iron rings and his feet fixed. He looked completely
Can't move.
Schiller lowered his eyes and looked at the two sharp circular saws fixed beside his neck. He said: "So you asked me to come to the office to hand over the work just to kidnap me?"
Hugo smiled and pressed a button on the wall. The small circular saws on both sides of Schiller's neck began to rotate rapidly, and then slowly moved closer to the middle until they were close to Schiller's neck, but Schiller did not
Any reaction, just look at Hugo and ask him: "What on earth are you going to do?"
"Nothing, I just hope you will cooperate with me in a hypnosis experiment."
"Oh? This is really interesting..."
"I know that in a normal situation, you would not talk to me, let alone cooperate with me, but with this chair..."
Hugo pressed the button again, and the circular saw started to rotate again. He said: "...I'm afraid, you have to cooperate even if you don't want to."
Hugo picked up a book from the table next to him, raised it, and said to Schiller: "In a paper you published here, you elaborated on the theory of the Hall of Thought. You described it as a space in the space of human consciousness. A layered building used to store different memories..."
"I don't know if you have really done this, but next, we can verify it..."
"How do you verify it?"
"You must have asked this question to many people, right? Because you are sure that no one can verify this fact, and no one can enter your mind..."
Hugo showed a cruel smile and said: "...but I can."
"Next, let us wait and see, are you the biggest liar of this century, or..."
As he spoke, he put one patch after another on his head. Jack beside him was very quiet, but if Hugo looked up at him before closing his eyes, he could see the sarcastic smile on his lips.
At the moment when the brain waves merged, the long dark fall began. Hugo never thought that the process of connecting to consciousness could be so long. He didn't know how long he had been falling, but he never came to the end.
He felt like Alice falling into the rabbit hole. Endless bizarre images flashed before his eyes, followed by darkness and darker darkness.
In this endless fall, Hugo was almost driven crazy by the feeling of loneliness and weightlessness. Just a few seconds before he considered giving up, he finally landed on the ground.
When Hugo woke up, he looked down and saw that there was a black floor under his feet.
