Chapter 246: Change of Mind
Listening to Tang Juyi say this judgment in such a calm tone, Chichimana even felt a little untrue:
"You? Are you talking about yourself? β
Tang Juyi looked a little impatient:
"Or else? Is there a second person named Ota Kuran? As a psychiatrist who has undergone hypnotherapy on Ma Sang Anshi, and has deeply explored his spiritual world, then after Ma Sang Anshi's death, I am the one who is most likely to encounter dream invasion, right? β
"Because the dream invasion incident had gradually deteriorated at that time, and it was no longer as secretive as what happened to Ma Sang Anshi at the beginning, Ota was stunned...... Well, that is, I have also become a gateway to the 'untouchable shore'. β
Chibanaki gradually revealed a creepy expression:
"And then, starting with you, the prisoners around you were invaded in their dreams, and then they were dominated by those things and became their puppets?"
Tang Juyi doesn't seem to agree with the term "puppet":
"Strictly speaking, I'm more inclined to the term [beacon]. The prisoners were used as beacons, leaving a lot of information in our world, the purpose of which is unknown for the time being, but it is unlikely that it will be the type of friendly communication. β
Rubbing his temples with some distress, Tang Juyi sighed:
"Unfortunately, I don't know what happened to me after I was imprisoned in that prison, and I don't know how I, the first beacon in the prison, escaped unharmed...... I don't know why I went back to that prison for the second time. After that, there was a fault in my memory, and by the time I woke up again, I was already locked up in that car by you. β
Speaking of this, Tang Juyi was also curious:
"What do you know? Tell me about it? What happened after the prison disaster was discovered? What happened to me? β
Qiantangi Mu was still frowning and pondering, trying to digest what Tang Juyi said before, and when he heard the question, he was also briefly stunned:
"Huh? You? Oh...... Taifang Prison is tightly sealed, so it was five days after the disaster when we learned that all the people involved had died, but your body had not been found. It wasn't until half a month later that you inexplicably returned to Taifang Prison and were discovered by our surveillance, which brought you back to prison. β
Tang Juyi crossed his fingers, leaned forward slightly, and his gaze was even more oppressive:
"And after that? During the period of re-incarceration of me, did you ask anything? β
Chikanagi shook his head very decisively:
"Nothing. At that time, you were like you had been brainwashed, you were in a trance, your thinking logic was chaotic and fragile, and you couldn't carry out normal thinking activities at all. We tried to treat you with a recovery treatment, but the results were minimal. You can't communicate, you can't answer questions, you don't react to anything like the pictures we give us about Taifang Prison, it's likeβ"
"Nervous breakdown."
Tang Juyi said these four words calmly.
Chizuki was stunned for a moment:
"Yes, a nervous breakdown. Your sanity is gone, and you are immersed in vague muttering every day. It took a lot of effort for us to observe you for 24 hours, and it was only then that we were able to get quite a little information from your unconscious self-talk. β
Tang Juyi thought about it for a while:
"Rather scarce information? You mean the wooden box that appeared in the thief story before you, right? That rosewood box with three locks? β
I didn't expect Tang Juyi to guess the truth so easily, and the shock in Qiantangu's eyes was even stronger:
"You know that? Are you really amnesia? β
Tang Juyi yawned:
"It's just a simple logical reasoning. The stories you told me before, in addition to making me trust you, were nothing more than trying to evoke relevant memories in my subconscious. Let me guess...... During the period of my nervous breakdown, I must have mentioned the rosewood box in my self-talk, and also mentioned words like 'theft', which is why you chose such a story framework to awaken my memory. β
Chichibana was stunned, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
"But I'm curious, since I've been having a nervous breakdown, why do you think this way of acting would be useful? Did I already have signs of coming to my senses before you made such a decision? β
Tang Juyi suddenly changed his words and asked such a key question.
was accurately deduced by Tang Juyi, and Chizuki could only bite the bullet and tell the truth:
"You guessed it right...... Five hours before we set up these scenarios, your stress response has stabilized, and your observation and language skills are slowly approaching normal levels, and you can answer the simple questions we ask, but you still have no relevant memory. β
After learning this, Tang Juyi finally understood what the whole incident was:
"I see, before I fully woke up, my mental state had reached a stable and normal level...... That's why you conceived and laid out such a scene, and wanted to take this opportunity to try to get the information in my mind. β
Qiantangmu just looked at Tang Juyi for analysis, and then suddenly asked:
"You're not Ota Chestnut, are you?"
Tang Juyi raised his eyes and glanced at Qiantangu, but did not admit or deny it:
"Why do you think so?"
As if confirming his guess, Chitakari actually laughed at this time:
"I've seen it with my own eyes. This temperament that emanates from you, as well as this terrifying instinct for observation and speed of thought, is not a level that that psychiatrist can achieve. I've been in this position for so many years, who hasn't seen it? People like you are often the number one dangerous person on the record. β
As soon as these words came out, they also aroused Tang Juyi's interest:
"What is your profession? Mr. Chizumaki? Operatives in a large consortium or corporation? Or are you an agent of the ZF division? β
After determining that Tang Juyi was not "Datian Liran", Chichimanmu was no longer on guard, but said unabashedly:
"I belong to the consortium behind Taifang Prison, and I can say that I am a member of a special department, who specializes in dealing with certain troublesome people or things for the consortium. This bar is a gray place in the middle of the South Exit Street, and the identity of the customers is not simple, and the reason why you are brought here is just to avoid the eyes and ears of others. β
As he spoke, Chizuki gestured to Yanako in the direction of the bar with his eyes:
"This woman's power is terrifying, even the consortium behind me doesn't dare to provoke easily. I had an intersection with her because of a special mission, and it can be said that she owes her a favor, so I dare to bring you here. β
At this time, Tang Juyi finally realized that something was wrong, and couldn't help but be full of interest:
"Listen to you, coming to this bar is not your original plot arrangement, is it?"
Chizuki also does not mean to shy away:
"Yes. I was supposed to take you to a hotel, but then I wouldn't have the chance to be alone with you and mingle, because everything we do will be under the watchful eye of the forces behind me. β
Tang Juyi found it even more interesting:
"Then why did you do that? What do you think about me is worth the risk? β
Qiantangmu stared at Tang Juyi:
"From the first thing you said to me in the car, that tone and style of action made me realize that you are like the chattering psychiatrist before. It was then that I suddenly wanted to know the truthβthe real truth. β
