“Come on in.”
Amelia Bright had no time to think about it; White Wen was already calling her from the hospital room.
“Oh, good.” She answered in a low voice and followed through the door, casually closing the suite door behind her.
Jay Mo came out of the bedroom at the sound of Amelia Bright’s voice and gave her a look, and the two of them nodded heartily as a greeting.
“How is the patient?” White Wen asked.
Jay Mo pulled out a forced smile and pushed the door to his bedroom halfway open.
“Look at it, you guys.”
“Candy rabbit, white and white, two ears up …”
On the hospital bed, Halyn Austin, dressed in a pink striped hospital gown, her long black hair draped over her shoulders, her face still rosy, was sitting surrounded by a group of doll figures, currently holding a snow-white rabbit doll in her hands, humming a children’s song with an innocent face.
“The mental age test, shows that now she is only six years old.”
Jay Mo took a deep breath, looking disheveled and unable to hide his frustration, as if he was having trouble accepting the reality that
“Even if it’s a mental blow, why the mental age has degenerated to six, I really don’t know what to do.”
Looking at Jay Mo like this, Amelia Bright’s psyche is also very uncomfortable, asked White Wen that
“Why is she like that?”
“In the last unfinished hypnosis, I saw some problems, it seems that what left a shadow on her psyche is not only this event itself, she must have suffered something she herself could not expect, far beyond her tolerance, which is why it has led to the current mental age degradation, said degradation, but actually closed the memories after the age of six, so that their inner and memory at the same time Closed, but also a kind of patient’s self-protection mechanism.”
“But what really happened then?”
“This one or two attempts of hypnosis can not come out, only slowly.”
Amelia Bright looked at the slim figure on the bed and sighed silently.
“Then let’s get started.”
For different patients, White Wen has different hypnosis aids, and this time he brought Halyn Austin a gray Peter Rabbit in blue polka dot pants.
“Halyn, Dr. Wen has come to see you and brought you a present.”
Jay Mo’s guidance will make the patient relaxed and more receptive to this doctor whom he has only met twice.
But apparently the rabbit was more attractive to Halyn Austin, and she soon smiled and made a hugging gesture towards the Peter Rabbit in White Wen’s hand.
“Bunny, want a hug.”
White Wen slowly walked over to her, maintaining a safe distance between her and a patient, about eighty centimeters, slightly handed over the rabbit in his hand, and said in a warm voice.
“Halyn, count the clothes on the bunny, how many little dots, you count them and the bunny will give them to you.”
Halyn Austin’s attention quickly fell on Peter Rabbit’s pants.
“One, two, three …”
White Wen handed the rabbit into her arms and gestured for Jay Mo to help, applying slight pressure to her shoulders and gradually laying her back on the pillow, her mouth still counting the numbers.
When the count reached ninety-six, White Wen fished out his pocket watch from his chest.
“There was a clear metallic scraping sound as the embrace opened, and at that very moment, Halyn Austin’s count was interrupted and she fell into a state of confusion.
“Halyn, how many did you just count in total?”
Halyn Austin stared blankly at White Wen, her eyes blank, as if pondering the question, but gradually, her eyelids closed and fluttered slightly.
From this moment on, Amelia Bright knew that the hypnosis had been successful.
Halyn Austin hugged Peter Rabbit, closed eyelids are not the trembling a little, with the voice of White Wen in the ear to guide, the body from relaxation gradually become rigid.
Already asked about the day of the crime.
“In the dark alley, you didn’t wait for the Olson machine and the bodyguard, the phone didn’t get through, and there were voices talking from the depths of the alley, did you hear them?”
Halyn Austin’s forehead began to stick out in a cold sweat, and one hand clasped the sheets beneath her, “Don’t come over … don’t come over …”
“How many are there?”
“There are … there are three …”
In the midst of a million fears, she was dominated by her hypnotic will and involuntarily responded to all of White Wen’s questions with the first flashes of answers in her brain.
“They are approaching towards you, they are of different heights, there is a man with deep eyes, thirty years old or younger, very dark skin, and a mole under his left eye …”
The higher the recovery of the scene, the easier it is for the hypnotized person to fall into the scene realistically at that time.
Obviously, after White Wen detailed the appearance of the three men, Halyn Austin’s entire body tensed up, beans of cold sweat slid down her forehead, wetting the hair at the temples, she continued to tremble, as if someone was imprisoning her as helpless struggle.
“Don’t … don’t come over …”
“What else did you see besides these three people?”
“Don’t Don’t …”
The dolls of various colors on the bed were all kicked and beaten to the floor, and White Wen and Jay Mo, one on each side, held Halyn Austin down and tried to continue the questioning.
Halyn Austin, however, has reached the edge of collapse, completely unable to listen to what White Wen said, the whole person into the scene of that day, the thin body curled into a ball, even by two people pressed, still can not stop shaking and twitching, pain.
Seeing this situation, Amelia Bright finally understood what White Wen meant when she said that the patient was in too much pain to continue the hypnosis.
“Halyn, what else did you see?”
Amidst the howling cries, all that could be heard was Halyn Austin’s constant cries for help, “Help me …”
“Forget it …”
Jay Mo’s eyes were red and he said sharply, “End it, don’t continue.”
White Wen frowned, one hand holding Halyn Austin one hand from the pocket of the coat to feel the pocket watch, the same ‘clang’ sound, Halyn Austin gradually stabilized, but no sign of Paisley woke up, the corners of the eyes are still hanging tears, crouching in Jay Mo’s arms whispering sobbing, as if still in a nightmare.
Jay Mo had to calm Halyn Austin when White Wen and Amelia Bright were the first to come out of the bedroom.
Amelia Bright asked.
“Did you get this far last time and were interrupted by Jay Mo?”
“It’s better than last time, last time it was just the introduction of the situation, those three people just appeared, the patient began to chill, and was called off, this time at least can continue, but always like this is not good, next time hypnosis, Doctor Mo better not be present.”
White Wen’s eyebrows were slightly knitted, “Although he was worried about the patient’s mental condition, too much hypnosis is harmful to the patient instead of beneficial.”
“I’ll communicate with him on this matter.”
Amelia Bright volunteered to take on this job, other things she can not help, to guide the Jay Mo may be okay.
As we were talking, there was a knock at the door from outside.
When she heard Farren Austin’s voice, Amelia Bright’s expression tightened and she froze for a moment.
White Wen glanced behind her and said calmly.
“I think it’s better if you don’t see each other at this time, go to the bathroom, I’m here.”
