The concept and internal logic of "hypnosis" are too big and complicated, and if you really want to listen carefully to what Mr. Lu said, it is estimated that it will take a few years, so I will narrow down the scope to two points.

The first is the possibility of using hypnosis to instill in the human mind some memories that simply do not exist. Something doesn't happen, some people don't exist, and it seems to others to be extremely absurd and impossible, but the hypnotized person is deeply rooted in the belief that those things are real, and even their feelings and behaviors are extremely affected.

I gave him an analogy and said, "We were strangers and had never met, but someone hypnotized me and made me believe that you killed my family, and I saw you hating you and going crazy to kill you. ”

The answer is yes, yes.

He told me two real-world examples.

One happened in New York, USA, in 2009, an insurance salesman was talking to a painter about the insurance business and found that there was a portrait of a man in his studio that was very familiar, he didn't know the person in the painting, but he dreamed several times, and the painter painted the appearance in the dream because he had dreamed several times, in fact, he didn't know this person. They thought it was amazing, so they posted a post on the Internet to find the man in the painting, but instead of finding out who the man was in the painting, they found more than 20 people who had dreamed of the man in the same situation as them. Some of them asked for police assistance, and after investigation, it was found that these people had seen the same psychiatrist for more than a decade. The man in their dreams was actually the grandfather of the psychiatrist who had passed away for many years, and she was just using his picture to do hypnotic experiments on her own patients to see if they could believe that such a person existed in their memories. Ethics and medical ethics aside, from an academic point of view, although this experiment did not achieve the success expected by the doctor, it also has very important practical significance, anyway, she did make those patients unconsciously remember a face that should be unfamiliar and dream about it again and again.

Another example occurred in China, much more powerful, a psychiatrist named Liao Rong in Zhejiang accepted money and bribes to hate a young woman who hated her employer and hypnotized her, instilling some consciousness and instructions into her mind, as long as the hypnosis mechanism is triggered, she will become another person, make all kinds of strange actions, wear heavy makeup late at night, wear strange clothes, dress up and walk around the house in a weird way, it is like being possessed by a ghost, until the trigger mechanism is lifted, After recovering, she herself does not remember what happened during the hypnotic state. (For this story, see Weizi's other article "In the Name of Love")

I listened and nodded, and I was sure in my heart that whether it was the legendary Jin Jue King's personal credit hypnotism to control those guards and those who studied immortality to be loyal to the Jin Jue King for generations, waiting for the right opportunity to resurrect him and retake the country, or the deep hatred and hatred of the "parasitic people" in the minds of the "parasites" in the underground tombs of Chenjiawu about the Lei Xia and the Black Bone People, they could all be artificially created, as long as the person who performed the hypnosis was powerful enough.

Judging from Yao Kechen's series of magical criminal experiences, he can do it completely.

So now I'm going to take care of my own business.

In the case of hypnotism in Zhejiang just now, Lu Bingliang mentioned two words that I care about very much: hypnosis mechanism and triggering.

I remembered the special secret body odor of Li Xu and other "black bone people", which was a trigger mechanism for "parasites".

There is also the bell of Peng Liang's house, if I have really been hypnotized, that ringtone should be the trigger mechanism of my memory.

I've read in books that sound and smell are the two most reminiscent mediums.

Hypnotists, both ancient and modern, have skillfully used these two mediums.

I asked Lu Bingliang if he could tell me more about the Zhejiang case. He was a little embarrassed, saying that this kind of thing is a shame in the psychology world, and it is just a matter of hiding or concealing it, where is there anything to talk about. I said I understood, and said that it would be easier to tell me about the "hypnotic mechanism" and the "trigger point". He pondered for a moment and nodded.

He said: "Let me first state to you, I believe in hypnosis, I believe in all kinds of magic, almost omnipotent, but, I don't use hypnosis myself, first of all, it's a matter of attitude, even if I will, I don't need to, people who study psychology know that hypnosis is very dangerous, even if it is purely only used to treat mental illness, it may cause different degrees of harm, many experts who disagree with it." Drink to quench thirst', so the average psychiatrist will not easily touch it, and secondly, although I know a lot about hypnosis, I don't really know how to actually operate it. ”

When Mr. Lu said this, his expression was very serious.

Although I don't know if Lu Bingliang is chatting with me when he says such a big serious thing, or if it is some kind of disclaimer in the default environment, I still nodded in accordance with his words, after all, what kind of attitude he has towards hypnosis really has nothing to do with me, I am just here to consult.

Then he finally told me about the hypnosis mechanism of the case in Zhejiang, and he explained it in simple terms, which was really very simple.

He used the sound and rhythm of tapping the coffee table as an example of the "trigger point" of hypnosis, removed the jerky expertise and vocabulary, and explained the hypnosis to me in detail.

He said: "The first step is to put you into a deep sleep, the brain is completely empty, and each hypnotist has their specific methods and props to do this, pocket watches and spirals are the most common, I won't say much about this; The second step is to tap the coffee table, and the whole mechanism is activated, which is to tell you some events that he wants to implant in your head when you are in a deep sleep, and may need auxiliary tools such as recording background sounds, so that the hypnotized person has an immersive feeling, deepening and consolidating the impression. The deep sleep here is not what we usually call sleep, but the brain is in a certain state of deep consciousness or unconsciousness, but the senses such as smell, vision, and hearing all work normally, so at this time, the photos shown to the hypnotized person, the sounds played, the stories told, etc., will remain in their minds and make them believe the truth; In the third step, the coffee table is struck at a different rhythm than before, the mechanism is turned off, and the hypnosis is completed; The fourth step is to wake the other person up. ”

Then, as long as you tap the coffee table in the ear of the hypnotized person twice as you have just set, the content instilled in his consciousness during the hypnosis will come to life, maybe he will become completely different from himself, or maybe he will look the same, depending on the content instilled. It's as simple as tapping the coffee table to the rhythm set in step 3, and two different taps are called the "trigger point", triggering the hypnosis mechanism to start and trigger it to close.

This is just the simplest example of what you can do, but you can add a lot of complex content to achieve any kind of purpose. To put it bluntly, people's consciousness is also plasticine, as long as they have the ability, they can be molded into any shape.

Lu Bingliang said that the "trigger point" is very important, it is the key of the key, and it can be different from the micro angle but definitely not in the big category. For example, our hypnosis this time is to knock on this coffee table as a trigger point, then the future trigger and turn off the hypnosis mechanism must also be to knock on this coffee table, or another coffee table produced in the same batch, the same material size can be, the rhythm and the number of strokes must also be set, otherwise it will not work.

It dawned on me that this was the case, no wonder I bought more than 300 bells at home and tried them to no avail, it turned out that I had to use the bells that were set as the trigger point when I was hypnotized, at least they had to be produced in the same batch.

It's really strict enough.

Lu Bingliang said that the psychiatrist named Liao Rong in Zhejiang used the knocking sound of an Italian brand of high heels as the trigger point of the hypnotic mechanism, and then she died, the shoes were destroyed, and the young girl who was hypnotized is still immersed in a hypnotic state and can't wake up.

I was anxious for the girl who was hurt by hypnosis, but it was not within the scope of my help, so I immediately took my mind back to the present, cut to the most important topic, and asked Lu Bingliang if he could use the same method to seal the real memory.

This is a real problem that I have to figure out today.

He replied: "Yes, and it has been really applied to psychotherapy, especially some special mandatory interventions. Many people will have a series of post-traumatic sequelae after encountering the stimulation of major changes, which will seriously lead to various physical pathologies and even schizophrenia. Psychologists have long proposed hypnotic methods to forcibly block patients' memories of frustration, but it has been so controversial that only three countries have implemented it in recent years, and so far what I know so far shows that the cases are in good condition, that they have indeed forgotten the events that caused them to almost collapse, and that there are no adverse phenomena predicted by psychologists who disagree. This incident greatly enhanced the reputation of hypnosis. ”

I nodded, and it dawned on me that it was the 1937 massacre that had caused me so severe mental trauma that I was close to collapse, so Yao Kechen used hypnosis to treat me, forcibly suppressing and sealing that part of the memory.

It is a treatment, not a harm, that is to say, what Yao Kechen did to me should be out of kindness, not malice.

But what about Chen Jin Ziyu?
