He Shaochen can be saved.
"Eh …"
The middle-aged man who had been talking excitedly just now suddenly fell silent. After a while, he shook his head and sighed. "The situation is not good. Her Highness Lilith's will has been resisting my hints. I have tried many methods, but I still can't break through her psychological defense."
Zachesis's expression became even more gloomy.
"Then what did you say just now? Was it all nonsense?"
"This …"
The other party blushed with shame.
Zachesis did not look at her anymore and walked into the secret room once again. His gaze was like a knife, slicing at the dying Qiao Qiao as if he wanted to see through her soul.
The current situation was not good for them. They did not know who leaked the news of them taking Lilith away to the media. Freya had just died, and the mood of the people was still unstable. With such a thing happening, their reputation would be very bad.
Zachesis's gaze darkened, and he walked in front of Qiao Qiao. He pinched her chin and carefully looked into her eyes. Her eyes were empty and lifeless, like a broken doll.
"Hmph."
He let go of Qiao Qiao and asked, "Didn't we use our new medicine?"
The hypnotist hurriedly stepped forward and said, "We have already used it. The hallucinogenic effect is very strong. We have already used the maximum amount we can. If we continue to increase the intensity, it will destroy Lilith's central nervous system. If that happens, she will become a complete idiot."
Zachesis's face instantly changed, and he immediately said, "No! What we need is a puppet that can act, not a fool who doesn't know anything. The people won't expect a fool to become their king. "
"But we've already tried a lot of methods," the hypnotist said awkwardly.
They had already tried all the methods they could, but the other party was very hostile towards them, so their psychological hints had little effect.
"This is your job!"
"This …"
"It won't work … I won't … I won't become your puppet even if I die …"
Qiao Qiao's voice could be heard intermittently. Zachesis jerked his head back to look at her. He saw that some life had returned to Qiao Qiao's eyes. She glared at Zachesis and said word by word, "Your conspiracy will not succeed!"
Bang!
Zachesis was so angry that he slammed the door and left.
Qiao Qiao sneered at the closed door. She was mentally exhausted. The strong light kept shining on her, making it impossible for her to fall asleep. The middle-aged man's voice kept ringing in her ears. It was like he was trying to brainwash her over and over again.
His body was on the verge of dehydration, the corners of his lips were about to crack, and his throat was extremely hoarse. When he spoke, the pain in his throat was unbearable, as if it was being burned by a raging fire.
The weakness of the body caused the spirit to become even weaker.
She clenched her fists and forced herself to focus. She could not be confused by the outside world.
However, in her current situation, she really did not know how long she could hold on. Her will could collapse at any time. When that time came, would she still be able to maintain her sense of self? Or would she really become a walking corpse?
Actually, thinking about it, that was not bad.
At least, she would not have to recall the pain of losing her lover and family.
However, she still could not let them do whatever they wanted.
The middle-aged man began to mumble again, constantly feeding her non-existent memories. She closed her eyes hard and continued to resist the other party.

Because of Ravel's secret manipulation, Zachesis was also in a stalemate.
"Hmph! You really can't be careless. "Zachesis snorted coldly and slammed the red wine glass on the table.
But now, he was more worried about Qiao Qiao. If they were unable to successfully brainwash her, then they would really be in a predicament. They had thought that victory was in their hands once they captured her, but who would have thought that Qiao Qiao's spiritual power would be so strong that even the top hypnotist in J Country would be so difficult to deal with.
Now, he had to think about what they would do if they could not successfully hypnotize Qiao Qiao before the royal council.
"You look very distressed, Your Excellency." A low and hoarse male voice sounded.
Zachesis's eyes suddenly widened and he turned his head. "Adam?"
He saw a travel-worn youth standing at the door. His long golden hair casually fell to his shoulders. His eyes were not the same as ordinary people's. They were dark red with a tinge of black. These were not the contact lenses that young people loved to wear, but they were born with them. He leaned against the door. There was no trace of elegance about him, but there was also a hint of imperceptible danger.
"Why are you back?"
Zachesis looked at him suspiciously. "I remember you said that you were going to study in C Country."
"Such a big thing has happened in J Country. Shouldn't I be back?" The other party did not care about Zachesis at all. It was as if he did not revere this chief of the Elders at all. He casually sat down opposite him. "I know what you are distressed about now. Leave the rest to me."
Zachesis looked at the youth. He did not doubt the credibility of the other party's words at all.
"Where did you hear the news?"
"I have spies all over the Elders. Do you think you can hide anything from me?" Adam did not hesitate to reveal his background. A person who would do such a thing was either a fool or completely confident that the other party would not be able to find out his background.
From Zachesis's expression, it could be seen that Adam belonged to the latter.
"Leave Lilith's matter to me," Lin Li said.
Adam did not mince his words.
Zachesis narrowed his eyes. He looked at the other party and said coldly, "Adam, do you think that you can change anything just by going there? Even the best hypnotist in J Country said that her willpower is very strong. She is not affected by the outside world at all. If you use force, you will only drive her crazy. "
Adam raised his eyebrows disapprovingly. "Then it can only mean that you are too incompetent."
The veins on Zachesis's forehead bulged.
The wrinkles on his face were all twisted together. He was a little angry out of humiliation, but there was nothing he could do. He then sighed deeply and said, "Fine. I would like to see how you can change Lilith's mind!"

In the secret room.
Qiao Qiao was once again subjected to a round of mental bombardment.
The lack of water caused the body to be extremely weak. The inability to sleep caused the mind to be very fragile. This was completely torture for enemy spies. Now, it was being applied to a country's princess.
If this matter was known by the outside media, the Elders would suffer a devastating blow.
Adam looked at Qiao Qiao, who was on the verge of a mental breakdown under the strong light. He ordered the people beside him, "Turn off the strong light."
"But …"
The hypnotist looked at Zachesis, who was behind Adam.
The latter acquiesced.
"You can all leave now."
Adam said again.
"Adam, what do you want to do?" Zachesis suppressed the anger in his heart and looked coldly at the young man.
"I need to talk to Her Highness Lilith alone. You all are in the way here."
"Adam, you better not play any tricks!"
When Adam heard this, he turned around and glanced at Zachesis. His face, which could almost be called beautiful, had a cold aura. "The person who put the Elders in such a predicament shouldn't be me, right?"
Zachesis was silent.
He finally snorted coldly and turned around. "I look forward to seeing satisfactory results from you!"
Then, he led his people out of the secret room.
When the door of the secret room closed, Adam retracted his gaze. He sat opposite Qiao Qiao and said with a gentle and friendly smile, "Although the occasion is not right, please allow me to introduce myself. It's an honor to meet you, Her Highness Lilith. I am Adam Dexter Walker, the Deputy Speaker of the Elders."
Qiao Qiao looked up and glanced at him. Her slender eyelashes trembled weakly and there were no ripples in her eyes.
It was like a pool of stagnant water.
Adam knew that Qiao Qiao still maintained a clear mind. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to resist the continuous mental bombardment.
He didn't care about Qiao Qiao's cold attitude at all. His dark red eyes were filled with seriousness as he said the words that could stimulate Qiao Qiao the most. "I have a way to save the former leader of his Clan. In order to show my sincerity, I am willing to give it to you."
