Chapter 142 Self
Visual hypnosis!

A mirror is a very typical hypnosis prop. Lin Zhiqing once used the Wangshu mirror to hypnotize Lin Jiusi.

One or two mirrors may not have any effect on her, but looking around, the entire second floor is densely packed with mirrors.

And it’s not the kind of small round mirror that can be held in your hand, but a floor-length mirror that is as tall as a person.

She could clearly see in the mirror that countless pairs of eyes were staring at her coldly.

Even the self in some of the mirrors had begun to show its fangs and claws.

"Liu Mang..."

Lin Zhiqing chewed on the name carefully.

She knew she was about to be hypnotized.

And all this is because of Liu Mang's psychological formation!
The hypnotic effect of these mirrors is ten times stronger than those sounds!
Realizing that he would be completely hypnotized, the first thing he thought about was whether Liu Mang had set any psychological preconceptions for this second level.

It took her enough time to walk from the first floor to the third floor, but the distance between the second and third floors was too short. If the process of breaking the hypnosis took too long, she might have already reached the third floor when she woke up.

There are also Jiang Liuyun and Lu Huai, the two of them have not yet escaped from the first level of the dream.

If the two of them went up to the third floor while Lin Zhiqing was under control, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Lin Zhiqing could have woken them up, but the current situation was that as soon as they woke up, they would definitely be hypnotized again by the mirror in front of them.

If there are other psychological assumptions on the second floor, there is a high possibility that they will be more powerful than those on the first floor.

All of this is unknown, so it would be better to let them stay on the first level within the range that Lin Zhiqing can control.

Thinking of this, although her consciousness was becoming increasingly blurred, she still concentrated and whispered:
"Lu Huai, Jiang Liuyun, Lin Zhiqing, listen carefully. After I snap my fingers, stay where you are and don't go anywhere."

She was setting a new psychological assumption for Lu Huai and Jiang Liuyun.

As long as she snapped her fingers, this psychological preconception of staying where she was would offset Liu Mang's previous psychological preconception of going down to the third floor.

In this kind of conflict, the brain will automatically eliminate the old one and leave the new psychological preset.

In this way, they will no longer walk uncontrollably to the third floor.

"Pay attention, I'm going to snap my fingers." After saying that, Lin Zhiqing closed his eyes and snapped his fingers.

As the sound of the snapping fingers faded further and further away in his mind, Lin Zhiqing was about to lose consciousness completely.

But she was not discouraged or desperate at all, instead she felt a faint sense of excitement.

Her last thought slowly echoed in her heart:
"Come on! Liu Mang!"

"Let me see what you can do!"

……

One step, two steps, three steps.

A white dot of light in a pure white space without darkness.

The surroundings were bright, but there was always an even more dazzling white light in front of my eyes.

The light spot didn't know what it was, what it was doing, or what it was.

The white spot seems to exist, yet it seems not to exist.

It seems to be "there", but also seems to be "not there".

Original, primordial, nothingness.

The white dot only knew to instinctively follow the white light.

I don't know how long I walked...

How many seconds?
Tens of thousands of years?
A moment?

Trillions of years?
do not know.

Finally, an object appeared in front of Baidian's eyes, and the white light came from this object.

Baidian couldn't help but move closer to take a look.

That's a weird "thing".

The "thing" is a human face.

A fair, thin face.

There are two holes on the face, two holes with life.

The white light came from the two holes.

At the bottom of the face, there is a slightly curved line that looks bright.

His body was thin, as if he had been underfed and under-dressed for a long time, and he looked very frail.

That jet-black and shiny hair cascades down like a waterfall.

The skin is all white, as white as fat.

and many more.

Baidian was stunned.

What is a waterfall?

What is hair?

What is a face?
What is...human?

What is this again?
Baidian looked at the object floating in the air, very confused, and then fell into even more confusion.

"What is 'unclear'?"

"What's 'what'?"

"I...what am I?"

"What is 'I'?" "Why 'I'?"

……

Baidian fell into a long period of confusion and uncertainty.

These questions flooded out of her mind one by one, and there seemed to be no end.

Time and space seemed to have fallen into stillness and eternity.

Ten thousand years pass in a blink of an eye, trillions of moments.

In just a moment, Baidian looked at the things in front of him again.

"I!"

“This is me!”

"I am you!"

"I am her!"

There was a moment of trance and the white light was blazing.

A voice sounded from the bottom of her heart.

"I'm Lin Zhiqing."

"I am Lin Zhiqing?"

"That's right, I am Lin Zhiqing!"

The original white spot became clearer and took on the appearance of Lin Zhiqing.

She looked forward again, and the thing in front of her was a mirror, which was the Wangshu Mirror left to their daughter by Lin Congrong and his wife.

She looked at herself in the Wangshu Mirror with white light in her eyes, reached out her hand, grabbed the Wangshu Mirror hanging in the air, turned it over, and then turned it back.

As she moved, the white light suddenly disappeared.

Lin Zhiqing's complete face appeared in the mirror.

As the white light disappeared, a series of "click" sounds were heard, and cracks appeared in the space that was as bright as daylight.

The next moment, the original scene appeared in her eyes again.

She stood on the second floor of the study, and the entire second floor was surrounded by mirrors of various sizes and shapes.

These mirrors have different shapes, some are normal mirrors, and some are distorted mirrors similar to funhouse mirrors.

"Self-awareness..."

Lin Zhiqing whispered four words.

In this hypnosis of losing herself, she found her name again, which means she found herself again.

It has to be said that Liu Mang's control over psychology is even better than Lin Zhiqing imagined.

This second hypnosis actually created a space for self-awareness for the trapped person through the mirror.

Under normal circumstances, a hypnotized person does not remember who he is, where he comes from, or why he is there.

Just like the ultimate questions in philosophy: Who am I? Where do I come from? Where am I going?

Even the most brilliant philosophers cannot answer this question.

Once you fall into this kind of philosophical thinking, no one can get out of the world in the mirror.

However, as a master of psychology, how could he allow his mind to be completely lost?

Even on a normal day, she would have various means of protecting her mind, let alone breaking into Liu Mang's mansion.

Before coming to Liu's Mansion, Lin Zhiqing had already strengthened his mind with layers of protective measures.

The image of Wangshu Mirror is used to protect against the trap of self-cognition.

If at some point she was really trapped in Liu Mang's psychological illusion and couldn't find a way out.

Then Wangshu Jian will definitely appear and guide her.

Of course, Lin Zhiqing did not expect that the self-cognition trap on the second floor of Liu Mang's study also used a mirror as a hypnotic medium.

But this is normal.

People are used to looking at themselves in the mirror for a long time, but they rarely think about why they know that the image in the mirror is themselves.

This is self-awareness.

Of the more than 1.5 million animal species in the world, only a dozen or so can realize that the one in the mirror is themselves, such as elephants and dolphins.

This is enough to show that self-cognition is closely related to the brain.

What if the ability to self-awareness is destroyed?

In the mildest case, the person will become an idiot, a fool, or a vegetable. In the worst case, the personality consciousness will be trapped in nothingness forever, and the body will die.

"This Liu Mang is so cruel..."

"I don't know if he has used psychology to do evil over the years."

Lin Zhiqing had to admit that Liu Mang was a master of psychology even in his previous life.

And you have to know that the psychological knowledge revealed in Liu Mang's study was entirely discovered by himself.

Such a person can be called a genius.

pity……

Thinking of this, Lin Zhiqing shook his head.

Unfortunately, no matter how talented Liu Mang is, it’s useless.

Because she stands on the shoulders of giants, and behind her stands a dazzling and long-standing human civilization!
