I am the only one who practices magic: I practice magic in the city

Chapter 430: Hypnosis (4000)

Mother Liu held a goose yellow rubber hairband in her mouth and gently helped Liu Feifei tie her hair into a bun again.

"Okay, Cici, the time is almost up, you go in by yourself, mom won't go."

Mother Liu carefully tidied up the few strands of hair on her daughter's forehead.

Liu Feifei nodded obediently.

Mother Liu hesitated to speak, but finally said, "You didn't lie to me just now, did you? In addition to what you said, Mr. Xiao Fang agreed to help you manage resources without making any other requests?"

"What kind of AI training is this? You don't understand it. I always feel it's unreliable..."

Liu's mother kept on talking, and suddenly frowned, as if she had thought of something, staring at Liu Feifei: "You didn't agree to give him your personal image so that he can produce that robot? I tell you, anything is fine, but this is absolutely not possible..."

Mother Liu felt uneasy when she thought that such a beautiful girl was actually a robot.

His daughter is so popular. If he really makes a robot using his daughter's image, he can imagine what he will use it for after selling it.

If they really want to sell their personal image, they can't just sell it for this little benefit. They have to at least give them some protection.

"What are you talking about, Mom?" Liu Feifei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "It's really just cooperating to do some AI work. They said that everyone's thinking logic is different and more data is needed. I didn't understand much of it, but it shouldn't be fake."

"You see, we're all here, he can do whatever he wants, there's no need to lie to us, right? Mom, if you're worried, why don't you come with me?"

Liu Feifei is an actress after all, her eyes widened and she looked at her mother seriously.

Thinking of the embarrassment just now, Liu's mother looked a little unnatural: "Forget it, forget it, you should go by yourself. Be careful. Although Mr. Xiao Fang is young, he is in that circle after all."

"I know, Mom. The time is almost up. I won't say any more. I'll go over first. If you can't stay in the car, take a nap first. It should be over in five or six hours at most."

Liu Feifei got out of the RV, walked to the door of the townhouse and knocked.
-
"Miss Liu, this is the black tea you asked for." No. 12, who had returned to normal, placed a cup of steaming black tea in front of Liu Feifei.

"Ah, thank you, are you... really a robot?" Liu Feifei bowed, holding the teacup in both hands, secretly looking at Android No. 12 with long straight black hair.

With Fang Yu not around and the matter resolved, Liu Feifei relaxed immediately and quickly became curious about No. 12 again.

The more Liu Feifei looked at it, the more curious she became. This robot was really too realistic.

Not to mention other things, just the skin, you can even see the sweat hairs on the face, how is it made?

Moreover, this time, the expression on No. 12's face seemed much more lively and more human-like.

No. 12 smiled with Tifa's signature smile: "Yes, according to the common human point of view, I am indeed a robot."

"However, it may not be what you think. To be more precise, I am a biological humanoid machine driven by artificial intelligence. In other words, when my creator made me, in addition to electronic machinery, he also applied some biotechnology."

"Amazing!"

Liu Feifei looked like she didn't understand what I was saying but was shocked: "Then can you shoot lasers out of your eyes like in the movies?"

No. 12 tilted his head and made a thoughtful expression: "I don't have a weapon system installed. This kind of laser effect can only be seen in movies! Besides, laser weapons can't be made this small yet."

There are also modal particles!
Even though it was the second time she saw it, Liu Feifei was still curious.

Liu Feifei stared at No. 12's face that looked like Tifa, hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help asking: "Can I touch your face?"

No. 12 paused for a second or two and then showed an apologetic expression: "Sorry, the sensor on the head is still being debugged. Except for the developers, no one else can touch it for the time being. So, I'm very sorry, Miss Liu."

"No, no, no, I was too presumptuous." Liu Feifei waved her hands quickly.

Immediately, Liu Feifei suddenly felt something strange. The other party was obviously a program-driven robot. Why was she more polite to it than to humans?

"I just think that your skin is so much like a real person's. Whether it's the texture or the texture, I really can't feel any difference from ours."

Liu Feifei held the black tea in both hands, took a sip, and calmed herself down.

No. 12 smiled faintly on her Tifa-like face: "Thank you very much for your compliment. This is a great compliment to me."

After chatting with No. 12 for a few more sentences, Liu Feifei gradually discovered that the robot in front of her could almost completely understand what she said and give corresponding feedback, and its logic was no worse than that of humans.

No, in fact, her logic is stronger than that of most humans. It’s just that sometimes she can’t seem to fully understand the concise expressions I use to save words, and occasionally I need to repeat myself to clarify.

Even so, it's still a bit too strong.

If this robot is really on the market, will many people stop looking for boyfriends or girlfriends?
It should sell for a lot of money, right?

Oh, the time has come, and I don’t know how long I have to wait...

Anyone who has worked as the second party knows that setting a time with the first party does not mean that the first party will really meet with you at that time. It is common to schedule a meeting at 2 p.m. but end up asking you to wait until 4 p.m.

Except for a handful of people in this world, everyone can find the Party A that they have to wait for.

"...In fact, the varieties of black tea used in Angkor were all introduced from Bharat and Sri Lanka. I heard that the earliest ones were brought over from the Great Zhou..."

Liu Feifei was listening attentively to the knowledge about black tea that No. 12 was sharing with her, when she saw No. 12 pause, as if thinking about something.

Broken again?
Liu Feifei just stretched out her hand and waved it in front of No. 12's eyes, and then she heard No. 12 speaking again.

"Excuse me, Miss Liu, the master just told me that he has finished his work, you can go over now."

When Liu Feifei heard this, she couldn't help but let out a cry.

I didn’t expect that Mr. Xiao Fang was so punctual.

Liu Feifei felt a little nervous again. She stood up and followed No. 12 back to Fang Yu's studio.

There is now a single stretcher in the studio.

Liu Feifei was nervous. Was she supposed to lie on it? There didn't seem to be any equipment to detect brain waves nearby.
"Sorry, Miss Ning Yu, I've kept you waiting." Fang Yu pointed to a chair in the studio, "Sit anywhere."

Liu Feifei pursed her lips and said, "You don't have to be so polite. You can call me Liu Feifei, Ning Yu, Xiaoyu, or Feifei."

Light rain?

Isn't it raining heavily?
Liu Feifei found a round stool and sat down. Fang Yu also picked up a round stool and sat opposite Liu Feifei. "Well, Ning Yu, today is the first experiment. I hypnotized Liu Feifei that day, but today I want to hypnotize you. Is that okay?"

When Liu Feifei heard Fang Yu say this, an expression of nervousness and struggle appeared on her face.

In Fang Yu's eyes, Liu Feifei's two spirits seemed to be communicating something intensely.

After a while, Liu Feifei's expression gradually became firm: "It's okay, Mr. Xiao Fang."

Fang Yu nodded: "Then let me tell you about today's experimental plan. At this stage, Liu Feifei will not be able to sense your presence, and you will not be able to sense her and the outside world. Later, I will hypnotize you all again. Through these means, I will detect the changes in your brain waves and the reactions of the neural network in your brain. Do you understand?"

Liu Feifei nodded silently.

Fang Yu put a few wireless electrode patches on Liu Feifei's head and smiled: "Don't be nervous, there is no danger. You can think of it as meditation or taking a nap."

This EEG brain wave detection system was obtained from Musk's brain-computer interface company. Musk's team made some modifications to it, making the electrode patch wireless, so that the tester can walk around with the patch on without being restricted by wires.

In fact, this thing is of no use to Fang Yu, it is just a cover-up.

EEG detection can record the brain's electrical activity, but its resolution is not enough to detect detailed neural network activity. Changes in neural networks need to be observed through technologies such as functional magnetic resonance imaging or near-infrared spectroscopy, and these devices are usually large and complex and are simply impossible to place in a private studio.

Fang Yu pulled the stool and held out his hand: "Just like last time, I'll pull her out first."

Liu Feifei cried out and waved her hands: "No, no, Mr. Xiao Fang, she can come out by herself."

After saying that, Liu Feifei lowered her head, and when she raised her head again, some changes had occurred.

The change was not abrupt, but spread silently like water waves. Her eyes were no longer serious and "pure", but became hazy, soft and distant, like a lake covered by a layer of mist, which seemed clear but elusive.

Her sitting posture did not change actively, and was even more reserved than before, with her knees gently together and her hands naturally placed on her knees. She seemed calm but revealed a hint of instinctive defensiveness. But this defensiveness did not alienate people, but rather, it was like the vulnerability of a prey that was unintentionally displayed, which attracted people to approach unconsciously.

The slightly upturned nose tip and the lips that seem to be hesitant to speak further magnify this "restrained charm".

Ambiguity is the catalyst of love.

The ambiguity of love and the ambiguity of emotion are actually not exactly the same. The ambiguity of emotion comes from the "seemingly true uncertainty", while the ambiguity of love comes from "hidden restraint".

It's that kind of restrained feeling of "I obviously made a profit or won, but I'm afraid you'll know that I made a profit or won."

This restraint will further amplify the other person's desire.

After her personality transformation, Liu Feifei successfully created this ambiguous atmosphere simply by relying on facial expressions and body language.

In other words, she always appears "innocent" when acting, otherwise she would have been paired with so many other people.

If Liu Feifei's fans saw this scene, they would definitely cry.

The wireless transmission electrode patch transmits Liu Feifei's brain wave data to Fang Yu's private server, and after processing it appears on the laptop screen.

Huh? When the personality switches, the brain wave frequency does change.

I didn't expect that this thing could actually detect changes in dual personality.

Moreover, this time Fang Yu noticed that when Liu Feifei's personality switched, her heart rate and body temperature even underwent subtle changes.

Are there even physiological differences between the two personalities?
"Mr. Xiao Fang, I didn't want to appear in front of you again..." Liu Feifei hesitated to speak, her eyes moving around, and her hands pinching her skirt and rubbing it continuously.

"Relax, don't be nervous. Are you ready? Get ready and we'll start now." Fang Yu didn't respond to her and pointed his right index finger at Liu Feifei's forehead.

This time, since neither of Liu Feifei's two personalities resisted, she was not as painful as last time. Liu Feifei just frowned slightly, feeling as if she had suddenly lost something, and then she returned to normal.

Fang Yu took a look at the brain wave data on the notebook. When Ning Yu's personality was sealed by his mental power, Liu Feifei's brain waves did not change much.

"What do I need to do next?" Liu Feifei asked timidly with a trembling voice.

He looked scared, but twisted his body twice towards Fang Yu.

Fang Yu suddenly found this "charming" Liu Feifei quite interesting.

You said she was afraid of herself, right? Judging from all her reactions, she was indeed afraid, and she was afraid to the point of trembling.

It seems that locking up her spirit last time has left a deep psychological trauma on her.

When ordinary creatures are afraid, they have three reactions: escape, anger, and stiffness.

These three reactions are often in a progressive relationship. First, you escape. When you realize you can't escape, you become extremely scared and then get angry. After you get angry, you realize you didn't solve the problem, so you become stiff and can't move at all, as if you were dead.

Many creatures will even enter a state of stiffness in one step.

But Liu Feifei is none of these. The more afraid she is, the more she wants to get closer to the things that scare her.

The "pleasing mode" is one of the common response patterns in PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) or trauma contexts. It refers to actively obeying or even getting close to the source of threat in order to avoid more serious consequences.

But Liu Feifei’s situation is not quite the same as the “pleasing mode”.

This seems to be a subtle tendency towards self-destruction.

Fang Yu remained calm. Anyway, his mental strength would need to protect Ning Yu's spirituality for a while, so it didn't matter if he had a chat about it now.

"Nothing, the sensor will record your brainwave data, we can just chat casually."

Liu Feifei carefully looked at the black tea on the table: "Can I have a sip of water first?"

Fang Yu smiled and said, "Please go ahead. I told you before, don't be nervous. I shouldn't be that scary, right?"

Liu Feifei picked up the teacup and took a sip of water. She lowered her head and whispered, "Because I feel like you hate me."

Fang Yu thought for a moment and said, "Hate? Probably not, right? Why do you think so?"

Liu Feifei's cheeks flushed with pink, and she hesitated to speak: "Last time I...you didn't..."

Then, Liu Feifei raised her head and said, "Do you think I'm a bad person?"
