On Saturday morning, Liu Dan grabbed a vegetable bag and a meat bag and came to the physical and mental health clinic to report.

"I don't have to work in the internal medicine department on Saturdays, and I will be on duty in the physical and mental department in the future, and I can go back to school until May next year." Liu Dan said to Mu Chun while eating steamed buns.

"Oh, robbing the patient."

Mu Chun replied, his face still covered with the book "The Sea of Stars of the Good Doctor", looking bored.

"Did the teacher figure out about the murder in the Red Room?" Liu asked lightly.

"No, there is a question that has yet to be confirmed, and when it is confirmed, it will be almost the same. The key to this matter is not in the red room, seven people, to hypnotize seven people at the same time, I have not seen anyone in the world who can do it, but if he has made some preparations in the early stage, the whole hypnosis process may last for days, weeks, or even months, then what happened in the red room is just the end of hypnosis.

Do you know about the Sylgard experiment? In this simple but thought-provoking experiment, Sylgard, as a doctor, put the subject into a hypnotic state, and after confirming that the subject was hypnotized, Sylgard told the subject: 'You won't feel any pain in your left hand.' When the participant accepted the suggestion, Sylgard placed the subject's left hand into the icy water.

In general, a subject's hand will cause an unbearable stinging sensation after a few seconds of being in the icy water.

If the participant is asked to verbally answer if he feels a tingling in his left hand, his answer is 'no pain'.

But if you put his right hand on the button and tell him that if he feels a tingling in his left hand, then press the button with his right hand. It was found that although the subject reported no tingling sensation verbally, his right hand pressed the button. From this, Sylgard concluded that in the hypnotic state, the painlessness of verbal answers is produced by hypnotic suggestion, and the conscious experience is distorted and distorted. The act of pressing the button with the right hand expresses the participant's own feelings and is real. This experiment illustrates that in the hypnotic state, consciousness is indeed divided into two.

The first level of consciousness is the hypnotist's suggestion to the hypnotized person, this experience may be distorted and unreal, such as "ice water does not hurt", "wrist cutting does not hurt", etc., and at the same time, this implied level of consciousness can still communicate with the outside world. The second level of consciousness is the hypnotized person's own true feelings, but they are hidden under the first level of consciousness guided by the hypnotist. Sylgard also gave this second level of consciousness a very interesting name, called the Hidden Observer.

This separation of consciousness into two has actually been experienced by many people. For example, after driving a long distance, people suddenly can't remember how they safely got back from the highway to the normal road, and what the exchange of cars, lane changes, and traffic lights looked like? Can't recall it at all. In this example, the consciousness is clearly separated, one part is used to drive and the other part is used to think about other things. This ordinary experience seems to be called "highway hypnosis".

If it is a hint that is given, then it is true that these girls can wait quietly in the red room to die, but how can you make all seven girls accept this hint at the same time? This is question 1, and I probably found the answer.

There is also question 2, why did you and Fang Ming go to Zhinan to see those girls, but the girls said that they were just playing a game of smashing glasses? ”

Liu lightly swallowed the last mouthful of vegetable buns, poured two more sips of mineral water, and hurriedly said: "That's not simple, these two things are all hinted at by the seven girls in the hypnosis." ”

That's what I've been thinking about all day. Because it's so difficult. After Mu Chun finished speaking, he closed the book, turned his head aggrievedly, and his head drooped on the table.

"What's the difficulty? Is it because there are too many people? Liu Dan decided to eat the meat bun together, in case a patient came at eight o'clock, he would not have time to eat it.

Of course this is impossible! The business of the physical and mental department is bleak!

"Let's assume for a moment that [hypnosis] or even [collective hypnosis] happened in the red room that is true, then there is a wall erected in front of us - not everyone can be hypnotized, hypnotism is not effective for everyone, and the degree of effectiveness is different, how do you know what kind of method to use to hypnotize these seven people at the same time must be effective?"

Liu Dan looked at Mu Chun stupidly, and packed the meat back into the paper bag, Liu Dan lost his appetite, just like in a high school class, the math teacher suddenly took out a competition problem, stood on the podium and said, "This problem, I guess only two people in the class can solve it." ”

Liu Dan quickly finished the question, and found that he was the one who couldn't answer, and instantly felt that there was nothing worth loving in this world.

"It should be said that it is impossible for ordinary people to do it under ordinary circumstances."

When Mu Chun said this, Liu Dan breathed a sigh of relief, "But didn't he do it?" Two died, and five others said they had nothing to do with him. ”

"Although it is impossible to hypnotize seven girls at the same time in the red room, ~~~ this thing can happen more early and be more prepared."

Liu lightly's shoulders trembled, and he snorted, "How does it sound like - the deceased was already dead before this." ”

"That's the feeling, these seven people didn't think to meet this slim man when they saw it in the group, these seven people were carefully selected."

"Pick? How to choose? ”

"Although Tingyu may not know that the susceptibility to hypnosis can be measured with relevant tools, such as the [Stanford Hypnotic Susceptibility Scale] or the [Harvard Group Hypnotic Susceptibility Scale], he may have used some method to screen the right seven people, and there is a possibility that this screening is mutual. The seven women not only believed in some beliefs themselves, but they also reinforced them with each other, forming a long-term suggestive and reinforcing effect, and even a kind of camaraderie from them.

This phenomenon is very common in groups. So, I'm waiting, waiting for a piece of evidence that will explain the whole thing. ”

Jiang Feng quickly handed over the evidence that Mu Chun was waiting for to Liu Yiming, a full day earlier than the time he promised to complete the task, and this day was a day of life and death for many people.

Liu Yiming arrived at Chen's house first, picked up Chu Sisi, and rushed to the fifth floor of Huayuanqiao Hospital at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday.
