Chapter 142: Chapter 142 Pharmacological Hypnosis

“The drug effect has been almost completely absorbed,”

“He won’t be causing any more trouble. Fit his jaw back in place. His drooling looks disgusting,”

the non-mainstream young man said with a look of disgust on his face.

Obviously, Fatty, with his fierce and ferocious expression, also knew the skills of traditional Chinese orthopedics.

Upon hearing this, Fatty pursed his lips and walked over.

He crouched down beside the middle-aged man, stretched out his plump hand, grabbed the middle-aged man’s dislocated jaw, and with a gentle force, there was a light “click”; the middle-aged man’s jaw was back in place.

“All done!”

Fatty clapped his hands, wiping the saliva-stained hand on his body randomly, then walked over to the fridge, grabbed some unfinished cooked food, and started gnawing on it again.

The non-mainstream young man glanced at Fatty and shook his head in distaste.

He flipped up the eyelids of the middle-aged man, checked his pupils, and after making sure the man was alright, he sat back on the couch, picked up a cigarette from the coffee table, and lit one for himself.

The non-mainstream young man took a deep drag.

Blowing out a series of smoke rings, he muttered, “It’s no wonder these cigarettes cost dozens of yuan a pack, they really are much better than those that cost around ten yuan.”

“Really?”

“Give me one too!”

Upon hearing this, Fatty, who was munching on the cooked food, became interested and ran over with a laugh, extending his greasy plump hand in front of the non-mainstream young man.

“Here you go!”

The non-mainstream young man casually tossed the cigarette pack in his hand to Fatty.

Fatty caught the cigarettes with a grin, took one out of the pack, and lit it for himself.

Taking a puff of the cigarette and biting into the cooked food, he nodded in satisfaction.

“Not bad, not bad, delicious indeed~”

Fatty said with a smile.

The non-mainstream young man rolled his eyes at Fatty but didn’t speak.

After an unknown amount of time had passed, the middle-aged man, who had been lying on the ground like a corpse, started to stir.

“Cough cough…”

The middle-aged man slowly came to and coughed a few times.

Hearing the noise, the non-mainstream young man and Fatty, who were seated on the sofa puffing away, both turned their attention to the middle-aged man.

“Wow, this guy woke up pretty fast.”

“It seems his physical condition is really good,”

Fatty said with a cheerful smile.

“He’s got well-developed muscles,”

the non-mainstream young man added.

“Now that you’re awake, get up,”

the non-mainstream young man said loudly.

“Cough cough…”

The middle-aged man coughed twice more, then climbed up from the ground. His gaze around the room was somewhat vacant, like that of a…

moron!

“Look at my memory,”

Seeing this, the non-mainstream young man slapped his forehead and let out a wry smile.

Upon hearing this, Fatty looked at the non-mainstream young man with confusion.

This was the first time Fatty had seen someone use this drug, and aside from knowing its effects, he knew nothing else.

“After taking this drug, a person becomes like an idiot, or rather, it’s like they are under deep hypnosis, needing a special command to awaken their understanding and to tell them to be loyal to the family, loyal to us,”

Seeing Fatty’s confusion, the non-mainstream young man explained, then got up and slowly crouched beside the middle-aged man with the vacant gaze.

The non-mainstream young man took out his phone from his bosom, fiddled with it for a moment, and a sorrowful tune with a dark melody started playing from the phone’s music player.

It was a rendition of “The Seventh Chapter of the Night.”

The mournful female voice was full of sorrow.

It was like the lament of a ghost in the middle of the night.

The nearby Fatty, curious, couldn’t help but shiver.

“Fuck, who the hell is singing this? It could scare someone to death in the middle of the night,”

Fatty couldn’t help but curse.

“Hehe…”

“The woman singing, you know her,”

the non-mainstream young man said with an enigmatic smile.

“I know her?”

Fatty was taken aback at this.

“Who is it?”

Fatty asked, looking bewildered.

“Secret, can’t tell you!”

The non-mainstream youth said mysteriously.

“This is the code for the medication.”

“The reason it was adapted this way is also for fear that someone might accidentally stumble upon it, triggering the code and awakening the person who took the drug.”

After saying so, the non-mainstream youth squatted on the ground, watching the middle-aged man’s reaction.

Indeed, as the music continued to play from the mobile phone player, the middle-aged man, who had initially been staring blankly, began to react.

The blank stare in his eyes also gained a hint of sparkle.

“Welcome home!”

Seeing this scene, the non-mainstream youth laughed.

“Home?”

“I’m home…”

The middle-aged man muttered to himself.

“Yes, you’re home.”

“We are your family.”

The non-mainstream youth spoke to the middle-aged man with a gentle and persuasive tone.

“Family!”

The middle-aged man nodded fervently.

“Get up, be yourself again.”

The non-mainstream youth reached out his hand to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man obediently took the non-mainstream youth’s hand and, with the latter’s assistance, stood up from the ground.

“Your phone has rung many times, give them a call back.”

The non-mainstream youth handed the middle-aged man’s mobile phone to him.

The middle-aged man took the phone and unlocked the screen.

“On these two photos, are your wife and child. No matter what anyone says, you have to protect them.”

The non-mainstream youth took out two photographs, depicting Axi and Han Xue, before and after their change of appearance.

“My wife and child…”

“I understand!”

The middle-aged man nodded compliantly.

“Beep beep…”

The call was dialed back, the mobile phone rang twice and was quickly answered.

“Hello, good day!”

“Is this Mr. Li?”

A voice came from the phone’s earpiece.

“Hello, yes, it’s me!”

“Who’s speaking?”

Mr. Li pondered for a moment before responding.

“Hello Mr. Li, this is Shi Guang from the Tang City Police Department, Major Case Unit.”

Shi Guang’s introduction came from the earpiece.

“Oh?”

“So it’s Officer Shi Guang!”

“Hello, hello.”

Mr. Li, the middle-aged man, said with a laugh.

His relaxed and jovial demeanour showed no trace of the previous blank stare.

“May I ask, Officer, what do you need?”

Mr. Li asked with a smile.

“It’s like this, concerning your wife and son, there are some matters we need to verify with you.”

Shi Guang’s voice came through the earpiece.

Upon hearing about his wife and son, a fierce look flashed in Mr. Li’s eyes, and his expression darkened.

Protecting his wife and son was the instruction the non-mainstream youth had given to Mr. Li.

Shi Guang’s words triggered this instruction, and Mr. Li immediately entered a state of readiness to protect his wife and son at all costs.

“What’s happened to my wife and son?”

Mr. Li asked in a deep voice.

“Nothing much, just need to verify a few details.”

Sensing the change in Mr. Li’s tone, Shi Guang’s voice became slightly frantic.

A misstep could lead to a complaint.
