"Who are they referring to as traitors? Is there a specific name? "Gu Jun asked.
Peacock still had a look of disbelief on her face. She shook her head and said, "Prof Mingyu said it has not been passed down but this' secret talisman 'should be a description of the rebel force. This seems to describe a covert infiltration, not a sudden uprising. "
Gu Jun pondered again, 'What is a secret talisman, some kind of identification code?'
He pressed for more questions but the 'leaders and prof' still could not come up with any useful information.
"During that period of wandering, inheritance was a big problem." Peacock sighed, "These secrets that were passed down by the leaders and prof are even more difficult. Mr. Nightmare Man, please don't be offended. "
'Who can I blame? ' Gu Jun lifted his head to look, the sky was already covered in darkness. But this world was different from place to place. Even here, the light of the night allowed him to see the yellow sand around him clearly, there was no need to light a lamp.
"Sir, what about the Pnakotic Manuscripts?" Peacock could not hide the anticipation in her voice.
Gu Jun did not answer her. He merely took a few steps forward with the scale and hide in his hands. Together with the stone, there were three holy objects …
"Peacock, can you project one of your sweet dreams to me?" He asked. He did not know how to do it like Atal and he did not ask.
If he could see her sweet dream, he would be able to understand more. But Peacock said they did not know.
But Gu Jun suspected that the prof was just Peacock's imagination. Just like the young watcher, he could not think of the details if there was nothing in his mind.
'But she is not a dreamer, she is real … Pretend she is not playing tricks … Is she really not? She is just playing with you … '
'I am a doctor. ' Gu Jun took a deep breath to suppress the agitation of the darkness. He thought to himself, 'Look at it from a doctor's point of view, there is nothing strange about this. Peacock and Malachite both suffer from schizophrenia.'
Schizophrenia was a common mental illness, hallucinations and delusions were one of its main symptoms.
Among the delusions, persecutory delusion was the most common manifestation. Peacock's mind was still clear. Her delusions about the destruction of the human world, the land's travellers, she believed them without a doubt. Even his orientation, memory, and intelligence were affected.
To put it simply, he was crazy.
Generally speaking, if a person who saw a ghost in a horror movie was diagnosed with mental illness, there was a ninety percent chance that the movie was a bad one. But now, he really hoped that Peacock and the others were just a bad movie, or else he would be in big trouble …
"Peacock, do you dream when you sleep?" He asked. From a medical perspective, he thought of another possible way to find out.
"Yes." Peacock did not quite understand.
Gu Jun was silent. Ordinary dreams were produced by the subconscious. What was in her subconscious? A real childhood? He did not think Peacock grew up in the City of Kindle, he did not even think they departed from this place before they went to Dylath-Leen because there were no signs of human habitation here.
"Is there a room with a bed here?" He asked, "It doesn't have to be very big. It just needs to be big enough for you to lie down comfortably. The others shouldn't follow."
"…" Peacock's face shifted slightly. Her face flushed red like she was being insulted. "Sir, what are you trying to say?"
"What are you thinking?" Gu Jun sighed helplessly. "I'm just preparing to pass the Pnakotic Manuscripts to you. This requires a quiet environment and the greatest amount of comfort." Actually, that was not his intention. He wanted to hypnotize Peacock and dig into her subconscious, just like how Sister Liang did to him.
"Ah." Peacock blushed, a different kind of blush. "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you! Please don't blame me. "
"It's fine." Gu Jun waved his hand. If she got nervous, there would be more work to do. "Hurry up, I choose you, before I change my mind."
Peacock led him a few more rounds before they arrived at a private room. The tribe leader and the rest stayed outside. She lay down on the small wooden couch in the room with nervousness, excitement and confusion — she was lying on the yellow sand but it felt like she was really lying on a comfortable wooden couch.
To accommodate the patient's expectation, Gu Jun also sat down on the sand — on a chair next to the couch.
He had received psychological training so he knew how to hypnotize and hypnotize but now he could not even make eye contact with the patient much less smile.
The first step was to have Peacock completely relax and enter a state of hypnosis.
He mimicked Sister Liang's method and started to talk about his hobbies and interests with Peacock. He did not mention anything about this tribe.
"I don't have any hobbies." Peacock smiled sheepishly. "I don't have that kind of free time …"
It was really not an easy thing to make such a person who carried so much open her heart. Gu Jun now understood Sister Liang's difficulties at the beginning.
"You could've told me." He kept hinting and strengthening the hint. "There won't be a problem, we can talk about anything now." It was not that he lacked authority before Peacock but he lacked intimacy. Therefore, by lowering his stance, it was more convincing.
"Hmm …" Peacock gave a long sigh as if a boulder had been lifted from her heart. She started to talk again. "I especially like to sing. I've loved it since I was young. There's no reason why, I can sing all the songs of the tribe … "
"What about the ones outside?" Gu Jun tried his best to lead her away from the City of Kindle. Peacock's identity, whether it was schizophrenic or not, had to leave.
"I've learned quite a lot when I was out there." Peacock said softly. "The ones at Ulthar are especially good, probably because of the peace they live in."
Gu Jun continued to talk about the local songs and hinted again and again, "You're much more relaxed now, aren't you?"
Slowly, he noticed Peacock's face softened and her eyes wandered. She had entered a state of hypnosis. Her consciousness was clear but it was different from normal. He could start the second step. He said, "Peacock, now close your eyes and release all your mental power. Leave it to me. I'll try to connect with your mind. It should work."
"Hmm, okay …" Peacock nodded and closed her eyes.
Gu Jun placed his hand on her head. She did not show any reaction. The hypnosis was stable and she was immersed in the role that he was hinting at.
"Peacock, other than being the land's traveller, you should have another identity." He said slowly. His heart was getting nervous. "This identity is hidden in your memory. I want you to imagine there is a red door in the dark. Do you see the door? Now slowly walk towards it … "
"Oh, I see it. Okay …" Peacock mumbled.
Gu Jun closed his eyes slightly. There was a vague sense of connection that made him see a red door before him. The door opened, and light shone out.
"Go in now. It's behind the red door. Your identity, your name, will be there."
As he said that, he saw Peacock's figure walk into the red door. Suddenly, his mind was hit hard and he felt a great distortion.
