Chapter 360: The truth behind losing memory (Part 1)
When Claire left the headquarters campus of EX Dexun Technology Group, she found drizzle in the sky.
She quickly ran to her car, opened the door and got in.
The silent cell phone in her pocket vibrated briefly at this moment. Claire took it out and took a look, raising her eyebrows in surprise.
Half an hour later, Claire drove to the downstairs of Qin Yuqing's clinic.
Two field department specialists who were waiting here saluted Claire as she got out of the car. They were ordered to follow and protect Qin Yuqing's personal safety.
"Doctor Qin is waiting for you upstairs."
"I know." Claire nodded in response.
One of the two commissioners stayed downstairs, and the other took Claire up to Qin Yuqing's clinic.
Qin Yuqing was the only one in the clinic, and normal operations had not yet resumed. There was a layer of dust on the floor that had not been cleaned for a long time.
Qin Yuqing sat in front of the computer and looked up at Claire who came in. She was about to get up but was stopped by Claire with a gesture.
"Sit down and tell me what you found?" Claire walked around to the back of the computer desk and bent down beside Qin Yuqing to get close to the screen.
"I suspect there is something wrong with my memory..." Qin Yuqing clicked on a hidden folder, which contained videos numbered by date.
"Is this a surveillance video?"
Claire looked around. She had noticed when she came in that there was no surveillance installed in Qin Yuqing's clinic.
Qin Yuqing picked up a small cartoon dog ornament on the table: "Actually, this is a hidden camera."
"It's quite cute." Claire smiled, but immediately asked seriously: "You said you suspected that there was something wrong with your memory? What do you mean?"
"I don't remember ever being knocked unconscious and kidnapped, but look at this..." Qin Yuqing said and clicked on a surveillance video.
Because the cartoon ornament was monitored from a very low angle, no one in the video had a face, but Qin Yuqing recognized through her clothes that the woman being dragged away in the video was herself.
"The date is the day when the Adventist sect launched a massive attack on Qidao City. More than two months have passed." Claire's face changed slightly, "But I remember you told us that you were coerced by Fengmang Entertainment Group a month ago." "Yes, but now I can't remember what happened at all." She held her forehead in pain, "I just called my former assistant, and she also confirmed that it started from the day Qidao City was attacked.
I can’t be contacted.”
Claire said: "Then can you still recall the ins and outs of when you were coerced by people from the Edge Entertainment Group to work for them?"
"Yes." Qin Yuqing replied affirmatively.
Before Claire could speak, she added: "But the memory was so clear that I could remember every detail. This actually made me suspect that my memory had been manipulated."
"Do you think it is possible to tamper with and forge memories?"
"I'm sure it can be done." Qin Yuqing was very sure.
Claire was silent for two seconds, took out her mobile phone and said, "I know someone who is an expert in this field. Please wait a moment."
She dialed Yu Qingxue's phone number and asked in a somewhat apologetic tone: "Miss Yu, the Security Bureau may want to trouble you for help again. It's like this..."
After Yu Qingxue listened to Claire's request on the other end of the phone, she said that she would be able to get out after an hour and a half.
She asked Claire for the address of the clinic, and then rejected Claire’s offer to send someone to pick her up, promising to arrive on time in an hour and a half.
"I'll be here in an hour and a half. During this period, you can slowly think about it." Claire put away her phone and said to Qin Yuqing.
"Who is coming here? Is he an expert in psychology?" Qin Yuqing was a little curious.
"He's a city hall civil servant with telepathic abilities." Claire smiled, "I just changed careers recently. I used to be an agent of the Supernatural Investigation Section who was good at digging up other people's secrets."
Qin Yuqing opened her mouth in surprise, as if she was doubtful of such an existence.
Claire comforted: "Don't worry, as far as I know, Miss Yu's professional ethics is a model for her peers. She will not do unnecessary information digging and will try to avoid invading your personal privacy."
"Will she help me regain my memory?"
"I think the success rate is very high. If your memory has been tampered with by someone with the same superpower, Miss Yu should be able to find the clues easily. She is a master."
Qin Yuqing showed admiration, and then said as if she suddenly remembered something: "Then before she comes, I will try to use the knowledge I have to solve this problem. I hope the equipment here can still be used."<
/p>
Claire watched Qin Yuqing walk into the dark room used for hypnotherapy for patients who came for consultation, and followed her to the door with some curiosity.
"I heard that you have achieved remarkable results in the field of psychological hypnotherapy." Claire folded her arms and leaned against the door frame. "You even successfully hypnotized the two thugs sent to guard you. I kind of want to know this.
How does it work?"
"That's nothing." Qin Yuqing turned on the power of the machine and equipment, checked it up and down carefully, then turned to Claire and pointed to a switch under the flip-up glass cover next to the door: "Can you press that for me?
?For safety reasons, the main power supply to the treatment room is independent."
"Of course, it's easy." Claire opened the glass cover and helped Qin Yuqing turn on the main power supply of the darkroom.
The equipment was finally running normally. Qin Yuqing sat in the usual position of the patient, turned the movable arm of the stand, and placed the hemispherical metal cover above her head.
She lay down half on the instrument, smiled at Claire and said: "I may be the first person who dares to do hypnotherapy on myself."
"Are there risks?"
"It's not a big problem. I've succeeded many times." Qin Yuqing replied confidently, "But if I have... uh... convulsions later, please turn off the power for me."
Claire sounded a little uneasy. She wanted to dissuade Qin Yuqing from giving up, so she might as well just wait for Qingxue's arrival, but seeing Qin Yuqing's confident look, she was worried that it would hurt her self-esteem.
Qin Yuqing was still explaining to her: "Even convulsions are not a big deal. Have you ever heard of hysteria? Due to psychological effects such as autosuggestion, patients imagine that they are sick, thus allowing their consciousness to mislead the body to show the corresponding pathology.
Symptoms. In fact, their bodies are very healthy and they are not sick at all.”
"I don't know much about it, but I've heard of a similar joke." Claire shrugged and recalled while describing: "It's about a patient who stubbornly believes that there is a cat in his belly and must be operated on by the doctor.
Take it out. In the end, the doctor had no choice but to anesthetize him and perform a laparotomy. He also found a white cat and waited until the patient woke up to tell him that the operation was very successful and that the cat had been taken out."
Qin Yuqing answered: "But the patient said that the thing in his stomach was a black cat, right? I've heard of this."
Claire smiled and nodded.
"This joke actually has practical significance. For patients with hysteria, psychological treatment is the main treatment, and drug treatment is supplemented." Qin Yuqing said while adjusting the parameters of the equipment on the operation panel while continuing to chat with Claire, "I still
I remember an incident from my student days, which makes me laugh every time I think about it."
Claire smiled politely and listened. Although she was not very interested in this topic, talking to Qin Yuqing made her feel a little more relaxed.
"At that time, it was the season change between autumn and winter. I was on my period and the pain was severe. My boyfriend gave me a cup of coffee-colored hot drink during class. He said it was motherwort granules. I really felt better after drinking it, as if
The pain is also gone."
Claire asked: "Why do boys bring motherwort granules? Is your boyfriend a very careful person?"
"No, he is a liar. It took a long time for him to confess that the cup of stuff was actually isatis root." Qin Yuqing couldn't help laughing when she said this, "That was probably the first time I deeply experienced the 'psychological effect'
The power of spirituality. We obviously live in a material world, but the power of idealism in ourselves is so powerful."
"Indeed." Claire nodded in agreement.
Qin Yuqing started the equipment and started self-hypnosis, and the whole darkroom suddenly became quiet.
Claire noticed the flashing light and shadow screen directly opposite Qin Yuqing's position. There was a galloping white horse in the kaleidoscope-like pattern.
She quickly looked away, glanced down at the time on the electronic bracelet, and planned to wait ten minutes to see what happened and turn off the power for Qin Yuqing.
"I understand."
Qin Yuqing, who was lying on the treatment equipment, closed her eyes tightly, but said clearly "I understand" in her mouth.
The next second, she slowly raised her body while holding on to the handrails on both sides, and murmured to Claire: "I see... My memories are not lost, they are all still intact."
"Did you remember anything?" Claire took a step forward.
She only took one step, and she felt something was wrong. Her sense of balance seemed to disappear instantly, and the entire darkroom began to rotate in her eyes like the changing kaleidoscope pattern.
Claire held her head with one hand and groped behind her with the other. She placed her back against the wall and found the main power switch of the darkroom.
Suddenly there was a sharp pain in her fingertips. Claire looked at her hand in surprise. The flip cover of the main switch's glass cover turned into an iron clip with eyes, and the clip with sharp teeth bit her tightly.
fingers.
"No! This is an illusion, it's fake!" Claire gritted her teeth and pressed down her painful fingers, and finally successfully turned off the power switch of the darkroom.
The luminous screen playing the kaleidoscope suddenly turned black, and the indicator light of the device under Qin Yuqing also went out.
She got off the device and looked at the pale Claire leaning against the wall by the door with a smile.
"Your will is indeed very strong. Ordinary hypnosis methods may not be effective on you." Qin Yuqing walked up to Claire, leaned forward with one hand on the wall, and looked into her eyes at close range.
"You are... a superpower..." Claire wanted to avoid Qin Yuqing's gaze, but she found that she simply couldn't.
At this moment, Qin Yuqing is a succubus with snake hair in Claire's eyes, and her gaze is making her petrified.
"Yes, I am a superpower." Qin Yuqing replied, "Although it has not been long since I obtained this ability, I am already very skilled in it."
"What... do you want to do? You are... attacking the police..."
"What an amazing will to resist. The two big guys who were guarding me couldn't last more than five seconds together, but you were able to fight with me for more than two minutes." Qin Yuqing put her left hand on Claire's head, "But this
It's all in vain, you will eventually accept what I instill in you."
Claire opened her mouth slightly, wanting to bite the tip of her tongue and use the pain to stimulate her rationality.
But Qin Yuqing was very keen and discovered her thoughts first and stopped her immediately.
Qin Yuqing made Claire fall into a new hypnotic hallucination. Her consciousness firmly believed that she had lost all her teeth, and her voice was distorted into the vague feeling of a person without teeth: "Hold...hands...
”
Claire's hand reaching for the belt was caught by Qin Yuqing. Qin Yuqing's strength should not be as strong as that of the Security Bureau commander who was diligent in training, but at this time, he easily suppressed Claire's movements.
"Strange, is there anything special about these two people to you? Why is it so difficult to change your impression of them?" Qin Yuqing murmured to herself in confusion.
