In fact, several times, Kirton secretly pinched his arm, reminding himself that it was not a dream with the pain that followed. But the scene in front of me is too unreal. Walking up the winding mountain path in the mysterious dark forest is like walking in a fairytale kingdom. The three of them walked sleepwalking in the mountains and forests for only ten seconds, and suddenly saw a big house in the forest.

The three of them walked up to the wooden house, as if they all felt a little familiar with this scene. They hesitated for a moment, then knocked lightly on the door at the front. A woman's voice came from inside: "The door is not locked, come in." Kirton glanced back at his two friends—who all thought were so weird—that they had found a wooden house in the psychedelic forest, and that there were people living in it.

Fortunately, it sounded like it came from a gentle and graceful girl, not a rough and vicious villain. This relieved them a little. Sean raised his head and motioned for Cotton's door to push the door in. Kirton let out a sigh of relief, and pushed the door open—and the girl in the cabin turned to look at them—and the three of them froze at the sight of the girl.

This is a very beautiful and touching girl. Her skin was as white as snow. It was as red as blood, his eyes were like a pair of jewels, and his hair was as black and shiny as ebony. She wore a snow-white dress, like a European princess in the Middle Ages. What's even more incredible is that after she saw the three of Kirton, she didn't show any surprise, but greeted them with a smile like an acquaintance: "I'm ready for dinner." You should be tired from working all day, so sit down and rest for a while. ”

Sean and Lu Hua were completely confused, this inexplicable situation made them not know how to deal with it, or even how to understand it. They looked at Kirton, but there was a complicated look on Kirton's face that they couldn't understand. Just when they were at a loss, Kirton walked up to the girl and asked, "Who are you—do you know us—" and the beautiful girl was stunned for a moment. I seem to be puzzled by this question. Then she said something that shocked them even more: "What's the matter, dear dwarfs, don't you know me—I'm Snow White." ”

"Snow White-!" Sean and Lu Hua exclaimed together, their eyes almost falling off. At the same time, it was ridiculous, "You called us...... Dwarf-" "yes, how...... Don't you all know me-" Snow White asked, puzzled. At this time, Kirton stared at the "Snow White" in front of him with a grim expression, and his eyes became sharp. He bowed his head lightly and shouted, "I understand, I understand everything!"

"Snow White" took two steps back and said with a shocked expression, "You ...... It's not the dwarfs who live here, who are you-" Kirton stepped forward, grabbed Snow White's shoulders with both hands, and shouted, "Wake up, Lancy, these are not real, they are illusions!" You see, I'm not a dwarf, I'm Kirton!"

"Snow White" stared at Kirton with a confused expression, and the blood on her snow-white face faded in an instant. Suddenly, she clutches her head, screams in pain, and then faints, and Kirton rushes to hold her - at the same time, Sean and Lu Hua are shocked to find that the scene around them changes as quickly as a movie stunt. The wooden house and the forest are all gone—they are now in the living room of a most ordinary room, and when they turn their heads, they see that the "Snow White" in Kirton's arms is none other than Lancey! Kirton carried the fainted Lancy to the couch and said to Sean, "You go to the water cooler and get a glass of water." ”

Sean turned around, found the water dispenser in the living room, and brought a cup of cold water from a paper cup. Kirton helped Lancey up and sat down, brought the glass to her lips, and fed some cold water into it. After a while, Lan Xi slowly opened her eyes, and she saw Kirton holding her and Sean and Lu Hua in front of her, and exclaimed in surprise: "Ah! Why are you in my house-" Lu Hua smiled bitterly, "I was about to ask this question too, how did we end up in your house-" "All this, what the hell is going on-" Sean looked at Kirton, "I can say it now-" Kirton got up from the couch. A long sigh: "After what happened just now, don't you understand what is going on-"

"Just now...... What's going on—" Lancey asked, confused. Cotton made a gesture to Lancey to stop talking, he stared at the three friends and said, "Actually, I already had some guesses and ideas at home at first, but I wasn't sure about it yet, so I wanted to talk to you and warn you to pay attention - and what happened just now is tantamount to confirming my thoughts, and more importantly, I now fully understand the evil purpose of that massage center to do these things!"

The three friends didn't interrupt and waited for Kirton to continue. Kirton took a breath and said word for word, "I'm pretty sure now that the massage center hypnotized us!" The three of them were amazed. Sean asked, "You're saying that we were actually being hypnotized during the massage, so we didn't see all the visions until later—" "I'm afraid it's not that simple." "What we receive may not be ordinary hypnosis, but an advanced hypnotism that brings out our inner potential — I mean, a hypnotism that awakens a special ability in our subconscious." This ability allows us to not only hallucinate, but also to create hallucinations!"

Lancy shook her head blankly. "I still don't get it - can you make it clearer, Kirton-" Kirton looked at her, "Let's take what happened just now, Lancey - before we showed up, were you alone at home and reminiscing about the story you heard this afternoon—and you, you feel like you've become the main character of the story, 'Snow White', right-" Lancey looked at Kirton dumbfounded, and her look of shock showed that Kirton's guess was completely correct. "You may think you're just wandering in a fantasy land, but the truth is, without your own knowledge, the scenes and content you imagine produce a kind of confusing illusion!

Just now, when the three of us arrived at your house, we entered the illusion you created - a world exactly like the fairy tale 'Snow White'. Here, you've become 'Snow White', and we're 'dwarfs' in your eyes – if I hadn't woken you up in time to dispel your illusions, we'd still be playing fairy tale characters in the fantasy world!"

Lan Xi covered her mouth in horror: "You say...... I had the potential to create deceptive hallucinations that I didn't even know I had—so to speak...... The forest we strayed into this afternoon was also made by me—"Yes, the same thing. Kirton nodded. Sean shook his head in disbelief and said, "Kirton...... This interpretation you are talking about...... It's too mysterious. If that's what you said, then all four of us got a massage, why is this the only thing that happens to Lancey-"

"Is it really only Lancy who has this kind of situation-" Cotton said, "Lu Hua and I encountered a similar plot in real life on the first day after listening to the story, which is actually just a hallucination we generated, but it was the first day, and the degree was not strong enough, not to the point of generating a huge hallucinatory field, just seeing some fleeting visions." Later, as the number of massages increased, our subconscious hypnotization and suggestion deepened – and by now, we have an amazing ability. It's like the huge hallucinatory field that Lancey had just created. This ability has developed to the point where it can influence others!"

Sean glanced at Lu Hua in amazement, and found that he was also dumbfounded. After a while, Sean said, "However, I still don't understand, if Lan Xi can create an illusion field, it can't be only the three of us who can see it-" "I guess that the 'hallucinatory field' created by the mind is like a magnetic field, and everyone who steps into this 'field' will be affected by their will and hallucinate." And the terrifying thing about this hallucinatory field is that it can make the imaginary thing feel like it is materializing - as if I just pushed open the wooden door, and there really is a feeling of 'hand touching a wooden door'. ”

Kirton paused for a moment and said, "Fortunately, Lanxi's ability is not too strong now, and the 'hallucination field' she generated is only near herself, plus we lifted it quickly just now, probably no one else has noticed it yet." "So, the winding mountain road we just crawled on is just a staircase to Lanxi's house—" Lu Hua said with a smirk. Kirton shrugged his shoulders noncommittally.

Lancy curled up and said, "In that case, why didn't the three of you create hallucinations related to your story—why did you all enter the hallucinatory fields I created—" Kirton looked down and thought for a moment. "To create a hallucinatory field, it is probably necessary to have a relatively quiet environment where the consciousness can be concentrated. Think about it, when we were walking together this afternoon, there was a part of the road where you happened to be alone and thinking about the story you heard today, so after that, there was that forest illusion around us; And tonight, Sean and Lu Hua are all with their families, and their minds are disturbed, so they don't have the conditions to create hallucinations—and you, Lancy, happen to be thinking about this story at home again—now you understand—"

Several people looked at each other, but Sean was still in disbelief. "That leisure club did something to us during the massage-but I still can't believe that the power aroused by our subconscious is really so powerful-" Lu Hua, who had been in a daze beside him, took a deep breath and said, "There is no doubt about this." I've read it in popular science books before - the human subconscious has a huge amount of energy, which is more than 30,000 times the power of the conscious mind. In other words, more than 95% of our subconscious abilities are unexplored. I think that massage center was massaging our brains. Consciously stimulating acupuncture points that may awaken some of our subconscious abilities, combined with the hypnosis and suggestion of language, make us feel as if we have acquired some special ability - ah, I remember, the book said that people are especially easy to be stimulated in a hypnotic state!

"If that's the case, then I don't understand it anymore." Sean said blankly, "What is the purpose of that leisure center - why are they using this way to bring out our potential - " Kirton clenched his fists and said angrily, "This is the insidious thing about that massage center!" If you don't know about it, you might be amused by the strange phenomena happening around you in the first three days. As everyone knows, after a so-called 'treatment', what awaits you will be a very terrible result!"

The three friends were taken aback, and Lu Hua asked, "What do you say-" Kirton looked at him: "Now I have a complete understanding of the strange thing that happened in my house last night - who killed the dog and who stole the four-colored fish in the fish tank." The three men looked at Kirton eagerly, waiting for him to continue. Kirton glanced at Lan Xi, then looked at Lu Hua, and said something amazing: "The dog was killed by Lan Xi. And the four-colored fish was taken away by you, Lu Hua!"
