Chapter 156 The Siren's Song
The director glanced into the room.
Xin Man was surrounded by two female staff members, drinking hot water in the room.
——Originally, the program team arranged a bonfire dinner in the evening, but an unexpected heavy rain extinguished the activity.
So tonight's dinner was changed to a box lunch.
But Xin Man shook her head and refused to eat.
He was about to go in to persuade her, and saw Cheng Ling standing in the yard.
"Hey, Teacher Cheng Ling, why didn't you go back? I thought you lived nearby, so I didn't arrange for someone to send you. We have sent your box lunch, so go back and eat and rest."
Cheng Ling showed an apologetic smile on her face: "Director, I'm sorry I scared Sister Xin Man."
"The two employees are tired all day. If they stay up late with Sister Xin Man again, they probably won't be able to hold on... The shooting task tomorrow is so heavy."
"Do you think this will work? The person who tied the bell must untie it. I'll go and talk to Sister Xin Man alone, and I promise she can calm down."
The director looked at Cheng Ling suspiciously, "Do you promise?"
"Promise." Cheng Ling said seriously.
The director was also in a dilemma.
Xin Man's condition greatly affected the progress of the program and the filming effect of the program.
There was no loss in letting Cheng Ling try.
At most, it would be ineffective.
He nodded and agreed, and walked into the house with Cheng Ling.
Xin Man shrank involuntarily when she saw Cheng Ling coming in.
The director waved to the two female employees: "You two, come out with me first, I will arrange the work."
The two walked to the director.
The director said again: "Teacher Xin Man, Teacher Cheng Ling has something to say to you, don't be afraid, we are outside the house."
Xin Man showed a horrified look when she heard this, but before she could say no, the director took the two female employees away and closed the door.
Cheng Ling walked slowly to the square table and picked a chair opposite Xin Man and sat down.
The two looked at each other across the table.
Xin Man's lips turned white and his throat was dry: "Cheng Ling, you, are you a human or a ghost?"
Cheng Ling smiled: "Of course I am a human."
If I were a ghost, would you still be alive today?
Cheng Ling said again: "Sister Xin Man, don't be nervous, I'm here to help you."
Xin Man said in a shrill voice: "What do you want to do?"
Cheng Ling raised her clenched fist and stopped it in front of Xin Man's nose.
Xin Man subconsciously leaned back.
Cheng Ling loosened her fingers.
A thin fishing line tied a white stone and hung down.
The other end of the fishing line was tied to the middle finger.
The stone swayed like a pendulum.
An ordinary stone, a famous monotonous pendulum, but Xin Man only took a look and couldn't look away.
Her eyes followed the stone.
She kept tensing her muscles, and miraculously relaxed slowly.
A strange sound came out of Cheng Ling's mouth-they H Rangers called this sound: the song of the siren.
It is a sound that tempts people to lose their minds.
Cheng Ling is using the swinging movement of the stone and the song of the siren to operate hypnosis on Xin Man.
To hypnotize a person, the hypnotist needs to lay the groundwork in advance.
This groundwork was laid by Cheng Ling when Xin Man fainted.
At that time, she supported Xin Man, attached herself to Xin Man's ear, and gently sang the "Siren's Song"-when a person faints, he still retains his hearing, and the brain will record this sound.
After repeated stimulation for an afternoon and a night, Xin Man's mental strength is very weak at this moment.
As long as the "Siren's Song" is sung again, accompanied by swinging stones, she can be quickly pulled into hypnosis.
Xin Man completely relaxed.
Her eyes no longer evaded, her expression was no longer terrified, and her body no longer trembled.
Her eyes were still following the stone.
Hypnosis was successful.
As long as Cheng Ling did not give specific actions, or there was no strong stimulation from the outside world, Xin Man would obey Cheng Ling's control until she fell asleep next time.
Cheng Ling swung the stone and asked in a trance: "Who are you?"
"I am Xin Man."
"Who am I?"
Xin Man then moved his eyes away from the stone, stared at Cheng Ling's face, frowned, and spoke in confusion after a while.
"...I don't know...but I think I can trust you."
Cheng Ling smiled.
She put away the small stone and hid it in her palm again.
"Now, go tell them that no one is needed to accompany you tonight."
Xin Man's face showed a look of fear.
Cheng Ling said softly: "Don't be afraid, I will come to accompany you. Before that, you can't sleep."
Xin Man nodded obediently: "I'll wait for you. I will never sleep."
