Chapter 75 De-hypnotized
The two entered the clinic.
As soon as Lori went alone into a consultation room to start her session, Aria stared at Elbert like a beast, spotting fresh meat and making Elbert feel a bit uneasy.
Eventually, he was placed in a private lounge.
According to the schedule, Lori's consultation would take an hour, and Aria would specifically attend it, so during this period, he had nothing to do but wait.
While waiting, Elbert looked around the psychology clinic through the glass. It was a two-story building facing the street. Inside, there were high-end solid wood furniture and interesting, novel decorations.
Underfoot, the entire floor was covered with a soft, thick carpet. Walking on it felt relaxing and comfortable.
'Such an environment indeed makes it easy for people to relax and easier to hypnotize people!' thought Elbert.
He was also very curious and asked Robert, "Why did Lori come to a place like this? Does she have a mental illness?"
Robert answered, "Elbert, I found something on the Wild Doctor's computer."
"The Wild Doctor?"
"Yes, that woman from earlier."
"You think she is wild? Okay, never mind. What did you find?"
"A file about you."
Then, a file appeared in Elbert's view. It contained two photos of Elbert, both seemingly taken recently without his knowledge.
There were also many records of Elbert's behavior: wearing a $20 outfit bought from a street stall, spending a million dollars on a lighter, donating to a charity hospital, being kind to disabled children, threatening Curtis James to close a $2 billion deal, highly skilled in driving and shooting, making the daughter of the Clark family in Beijing bow to him, having close ties with military bigwigs.
After each event, there was a professional behavioral analysis, analyzing Elbert's motives, psychological state, and everything else! At the end of the file, there was a meticulously designed hypnosis plan. The target was Elbert.
Elbert felt a chill down his spine.
'That psychologist is analyzing me. Judging by the tone of these materials, I can tell the provider should be Lori!' thought him.
"Robert, check if there are any records of Lori!" Elbert commanded.
"I've already checked. For the past three years, Lori has come here at least three times a month, but there are only check-in records and no case information as if it's being deliberately kept secret! However, based on the data from her computer, this doctor seems to be a legitimate one!"
"A legitimate doctor," Elbert muttered.
Just then, there was a knock on the door. Aria walked in with a cup of coffee.
Elbert frowned slightly. "Why are you out here? It's been less than 20 minutes."
Aria put down the coffee and pointed to the consultation room across the hall. Through the frosted glass, a figure could be seen lying comfortably on the couch, already asleep.
"Lori has been under a lot of stress lately. I helped her relax her mind and let her rest for a while," Aria said. Her eyes were fixed on Elbert as she slowly approached.
Then, Aria sat directly on the coffee table in front of Elbert. Her long, slender legs in black stockings rested on the armrest next to Elbert. The garter belt and lace trim at the top of her thighs were partially visible, sensual, and alluring.
"Mr. Elbert, you're so handsome," Aria lightly bit her lip and smiled seductively. To be honest, most men couldn't resist.
Aria then added, "Mr. Elbert, being Lori's driver must be tiring. Do you need to relax and rest a bit? Our clinic offers a special service that can induce deep sleep through psychological guidance, achieving complete physical and mental relaxation."
Hearing this, Elbert laughed inwardly.
He had made the plan to disguise hypnosis as a deep sleep service.
"Mr. Elbert, you don't know, this service usually costs $600, but today, for Lori's sake, you can experience it for free. How about that?" Aria said, pressing a remote control on the table.
At the same time, curtains slowly descended over the glass walls of the lounge. Two minutes later, the lounge had become a completely private space!
Dim lighting, enticing red lips, sexy stockings.
Aria bit her lip lightly. "Mr. Elbert, how about it?"
By this point, any normal man would have surrendered and let her do as she pleased. Elbert smiled slightly; his expression unchanged. "Okay."
'All men are the same!' Aria couldn't help but laugh inwardly!
"Alright, Mr. Perry, please lie down in the most comfortable position you can think of." Aria even gave Elbert a flirtatious wink! Then, she took out a metal pocket watch from her bosom.
Elbert casually reclined on the sofa. Aria sat down next to Elbert, a tantalizing fragrance wafting over.
"Mr. Elbert, please focus on this pocket watch." The pocket watch opened. The dial had no hands, just a black-and-white pattern face. With Aria's enchanting smile, the dial began to spin slowly, the pattern becoming bizarre and dizzying—it made one drowsy!
Elbert was fully aware. She had started hypnosis!
'Ancient Greek hypnosis subconscious integration completed...'
'Anti-hypnosis resilience integration completed...'
Robert's consciousness integration was timely!
"Elbert, listen to me, your whole body is relaxing... You feel very comfortable." Aria's voice was dreamy, her eyes fixed on Elbert's face.
"You are now walking barefoot on a warm beach. The distant sunlight is getting brighter. The light is approaching you and suddenly enveloping you. Now, let go of all your defenses. I will count down from three, and you will completely trust me. Tell me all your secrets."
However, as Aria was passionately performing the hypnosis, her speech suddenly faltered. She was surprised to see Elbert's right eye flickering with a mysterious purple light. The frequency was eerie and mesmerizing. Aria shook her slightly dizzy head and continued, "Three."
The right eye continued to flicker.
"Two." Aria's gaze was inexplicably drawn in!
But she persisted and said, "One."
Elbert calmly took out a lighter and lit a cigarette for himself. However, upon hearing the crisp metallic sound, Aria was completely dazed! Her entire body was frozen in place! Unknowingly, she had fallen into Elbert's reverse hypnosis!
Elbert gently blew a puff of smoke into her face. "Aria, tell me, are you a virgin?"
Aria's eyes were hollow, and she finally murmured, "I'm not."
