Putting down the phone, Gu Jun rubbed his throbbing head and sighed with laughter.
Thankfully, Dirty-minded Yu's brain worked differently than normal but she was not stupid. She should have guessed what he meant.
Without the communication, the sense of connection disappeared. It was like he had lost his path. If he continued to teleport like this, it would not work.
This kind of super long distance teleportation was mentally exhausting. If not for the fact that his controllable light mental power was running low and the risk of attracting unwanted attention, he would have chatted with Dirty-minded Yu for a while longer. Only when he heard the voices of his acquaintances did he feel a sense of authenticity in his return.
Even though it had not been that long for him, it felt like an eternity.
It was so long that he sometimes wondered whether he was still alive or not.
'Looks like nothing has happened at Eastern State and the rest of the country. '
There was a sense of relief in Gu Jun's mind. Dirty-minded Yu's comment about him being too comfortable recently was a clear indication of the situation or else she would not have been so free.
It was just that no one knew what kind of undercurrents were surging beneath this tranquility …
'Now that Dirty-minded Yu is temporarily safe, I need to figure out a way to establish a stable and useful secret communication channel with her. I need to make use of this time to get a clearer picture of the situation before deciding how to deal with it. Peacock/Kathlyn, the 3 holy relics, the Pnakotic Manuscripts and the sweet dreams, 'using sweet dreams to alter the Phecda Chaos'. '
Gu Jun thought about it. Currently there were 3 sweet dreams that were about to shatter in his mind but other than using his consciousness to escape, he could not find anything else to do.
'Brain stem tumour … 'He pressed on his slightly heavy head. The system showed that his condition was stable but he had not taken any medication for quite some time. Hopefully it would not worsen. After all, he had too many things to deal with.
After resting for a while, Gu Jun stood up to leave the room.
The deserted hotel was quiet. He walked down the corridor and came to a large suite not far away. By then Peacock, Malachite and the rest had taken a shower and changed into a new set of clothes. Obviously they had discussed the current situation with Kathlyn because their faces were filled with confusion.
"Mr. Nightmare Man." Malachite asked, "You said that this is the homeworld of the Golden Age. Does that mean we can't go back?"
Talking about this, Peacock felt depressed. Of the five of them, only she had seen the emptiness of the City of Kindle.
"I don't know." Gu Jun said seriously, "But I think you have another mission: to stop the Age of Catastrophe from coming, to stop the world from heading towards destruction." This was also his current mission.
They all frowned in silence. Shui Yu murmured, "But our City of Kindle is still waiting for us to return …"
"No, that's the future that hasn't happened yet." Gu Jun encouraged them. "As long as we change the present, the future won't be like that."
The five of them looked at each other. They were still somewhat tempted, but they had long since passed the stage of being hot-headed. Stop the great change? They couldn't even stop the Ossarans.
Gu Jun saw that they had calmed down so he had Gold and the rest stay behind. Peacock and Malachite followed him to the small room. Peacock translated while Malachite accepted the hypnosis.
There was a risk of losing control of Malachite's other personas like one of them insisted on calling the police. Therefore, he had to do it one by one. Gu Jun's plan was to have the Rover persona take control of the situation regardless of whether the original persona was trustworthy or not.
There could be internal communication between the two personas but the control could not be lost.
This was unfair to the original persona but that was the only way to go.
Compared to Peacock, Malachite was more resistant to the hypnosis. He refused to cooperate with Gu Jun to establish a 'harmonious and low psychological defense' doctor-patient relationship even though Gu Jun said this was to teach him the Pnakotic Manuscripts. Malachite was suspicious of this as well. "Mr. Nightmare Man, when we left with you earlier, you said you wanted to pass the manuscripts."
Another reason for resistance was Peacock's presence to translate. This made it harder for Malachite to open up to Gu Jun. Even though they were close, neither of them was willing to expose their weakness.
But these people from the future who had lost their civilization knew nothing about the power of modern psychology.
Gu Jun stopped talking about Malachite's hobbies and hobbies. Since he had a clear understanding of Malachite's goal, he used the 'Socratic Method' to induce Malachite to form a psychological acceptance pattern. He connected the strong emotions that came from Malachite's goal with the suggestion.
He kept hinting, "The Pnakotic Manuscripts are meant for those with a mission, I'm sure you have one now."
"Have you noticed that there's another spiritual consciousness in you, Tom? Tom is your guide in this world, he will help you complete your mission. "
"Malachite, stop the great change in this dimension and become someone like the Phecda Hero, that is your mission."
Combining expectation with suggestion and repeating the suggestion during the conversation, the patient's psychological defense would crumble. This was the law of dominance.
Because the patient was willing to believe these words, willing to accept these hints … My wish will come true. This was a common tactic used in multi-level marketing.
Gradually, Malachite's expression became more agitated and he became more talkative. He even asked, "Can I really do it? Just like the Phecda Hero? "
This was putting himself in the position of a recipient. Gu Jun nodded and maintained his confident and authoritative tone, "You will be a hero as well."
Both Kathlyn and Peacock were shocked by Malachite's reaction. Kathlyn thought to herself, 'This nightmare man is a psychiatrist, I'm sure of it.' Peacock was surprised. The land's travellers had great respect for doctors and the Phecda Hero was a doctor. 'A psychiatrist can be considered a doctor.' She thought.
After hypnotizing Malachite, Gu Jun thought it would be easy to summon Tom Chen but it took him quite some effort.
Furthermore, when Tom Chen came out, he appeared to be quite dispirited. His reaction was slow like his mind was blank and he only recovered after being hypnotized. But when he removed the wall between the two personalities, both Malachite and Tom Chen came out at the same time.
Peacock and Kathlyn appeared to be the exception.
Perhaps this speculation was correct. After Gu Jun hypnotized Gold, Aquamarine and Ambergris, their reaction was similar to Malachite's, if not worse. Their original personas had no memory of what had happened. Like Kathlyn and Tom, they had been like this ever since they left the house.
But before this, their minds were normal and there were no hallucinations. They did not know each other and they lived in different cities. The distance between them was the whole of Australia.
Then … Gu Jun studied Kathlyn and the peacock 'duo'. If this was the black shadow's arrangement, then there was such a big difference. Something was not right.
"All five of us have cultivated the Seven Cryptical Books of Hsan to the fifth chapter." Peacock was confused. "Our mental power is about the same."
"I …" Kathlyn said, "I used to live not far from here when I was young, that's why I thought of this."
