In front of Lloyd's house-

There was a few gentle but regular knocks on the door.

At this time, Lloyd was by the door, and Lloyd also knocked on the door from the inside rhythmically with his hand.

There was silence outside the door again, and after a while......

A note was tucked under the crack in the door, and the sound of footsteps faded away.

Lloyd picked up the small note and saw that a knife had been drawn on it, the blade of which was cut in a line.

"The pursuer is about to be chased? Meaning our lives are hanging by a thread? It seems that Nicole and Townsend have to hurry here, otherwise the road behind them will be lost and it will be difficult to meet again! Lloyd took a lighter, burned the little note, threw it in the toilet, pressed the flush button, and the little note disappeared forever.

Lloyd paced slowly to the window of his room, opened the curtains, and looked out into the street.

Although the center ring is nearby, the silence of midnight is completely different from the hustle and bustle of the day.

There are few pedestrians on the street, the dim but flickering street lamps diffuse a little terrifying atmosphere, the sound of cats and dogs fighting can be faintly heard in the distance, and the sound of an animal touching the jar and making it roll can be heard nearby.

Lloyd moved the shoulder of his left hand, feeling how long it would be before his left hand recovered. Because the final of the Ten Martial Arts Cities is almost a month later, it should be possible to recover from such an injury, as long as you don't suffer a second injury during this time.

Lloyd looked down the slope from the window, and at the bottom of the slope, there were two figures scuffling together, and suddenly there was a flash of cold light, and one of the figures seemed to have been stabbed by a knife and fell. The other figure quickly vanished.

Seeing this, Lloyd thought something was wrong, so he rushed out of the room and ran straight downstairs.

The waitress in the front room had locked the main entrance to the hotel and dozed off at the computer.

The dozing waitress was awakened by the sound of Lloyd banging on the counter in a hurry, and asked sleepily, "What's wrong?" ”

"Someone is killing people out there! Call the police and find an ambulance to save people! Open the door and I'll take a look! Lloyd said anxiously.

"What police, what people to save? It will not be opened after midnight, otherwise the safety of tourists here will not be guaranteed. The person who is still causing trouble on the street in the middle of the night is certainly not a good person! Just let them fight for their own amusement, and you don't care about that idle business. The waitress who was woken up said angrily.

Seeing this, Lloyd had no choice but to return to the window of the room, leaning out half of his body to look at the place where the incident had just happened.

But the man who had just fallen to the ground was gone!

Lloyd rubbed his eyes with his right hand, thinking to himself that he had been through too much of the recent past and was starting to hallucinate? Or did it really happen just now?!

Or...... When I don't know it......

Lloyd thought of the note he had just had, and his life hung by a thread.

Maybe the enemy is not a pursuer, but has been in this town for a long time, so maybe at some point, the enemy's female hypnotist appeared? Already hypnotized?

Lloyd rushed into the bathroom and washed his face with handfuls of water, and then Lloyd gasped and looked at himself in the mirror with a frown.

Lloyd knew that although he was proficient in hypnosis, he was not a master in this field after all, and when the murdered curator was dehypnotizing the doctor, he had to put himself into a fantasy to fight, but the price of this was that he was also dragged in.

Lloyd wiped the water from his face and smashed his fist into the glass mirror, which shattered and scratched Lloyd's skin, but Lloyd didn't feel the pain that strongly.

"Oops! I was hypnotized! Fortunately, it is not deep, otherwise it will be infinitely dragged into the illusion, and it is impossible to distinguish between reality and illusion! Lloyd left the bathroom and found a small medicine kit from the bedside, which was a cosy hotel, and even had it.

After briefly treating the wound, Lloyd applied a band-aid to the wound.

Then Lloyd slumped back on the bed and exhaled.

Lloyd looked at the ceiling, the dim light outside the window faintly penetrated, and then the dark room had a faint light, Lloyd closed his eyes and began to hypnotize himself, hoping to get rid of this demon.

Six o'clock in the morning the next day.

Lloyd had already gotten up and arrived early in the front room, where the waitress was cleaning.

"Hey, you're up early." The waitress greeted Lloyd.

"Hey ......" Lloyd's eyes were bloodshot, but he was still bright.

"I remember you, you're the one who called the police last night, right? Are you going out now? The waitress said, then walked to the counter, found the key and went to open the front door.

"Hmm...... Go out for a walk in the morning. Lloyd replied.

Lloyd left the hotel and walked quickly to the location where he had seen the murder last night.

Lloyd stopped at this position and looked closely, but found no clues, and there were no blood stains on the ground.

The streets are full of life in the early morning, completely different from the oppressive midnight.

Lloyd took a deep breath and woke up.

"I didn't expect that...... The opponent turned out to be one of the five major hypnotists in the world! Lloyd smiled, feeling that the battle was getting more and more interesting, and even such heavyweights were involved, which showed how huge the conspiracy web was.

Fortunately, Lloyd himself knows about hypnosis and finds it in advance, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable...... But after last night's self-hypnosis, it was just to suppress the demons. If you want to completely remove the heart anchor and clear the demons, even Lloyd can't do it, let alone other hypnotists.

Unless one of these five hypnotists personally helps Lloyd to relieve it, sooner or later it will still devour Lloyd's consciousness. It's just that Lloyd's ability can make this erosion go very slowly, but like Lloyd, he is also a person who pursues perfection and pays attention to details, so he can't allow such a demon to hide in his heart and erode all the time!

"Of the five grandmaster-level hypnotists, three are missing, one is in Japan, and one has passed away. And the caster is still one of the missing. Is it up to you to get rid of this hypnotic illusion? Lloyd looked wistfully into the ring at the top of the street, thinking that life is full of ring matches, sometimes against enemies in the open, and sometimes against the devil in the shadows.

Just as Lloyd was about to move back to the hotel, he felt two figures looking at him not far behind him. Or real people!?
