“I was just fretting about no one to play chess with, Edward Wheeler ‘Bright Clarity’, come and play a couple of games.”
Kiara sat on the sofa in silence, and Professor Liu couldn’t help but express his concern.
“Have you run into some trouble?”
They must have had a reason for visiting so late.
“Teacher, I have a question for you. Is there really a type of hypnosis that can completely change a person’s subconscious?”
Hearing Kiara ask this, Professor Liu was taken aback.
“Why would you suddenly ask that?”
“I’m just curious… In the clinical medical records I’ve come across, although many involve using hypnosis to access the subconscious, the formation of a voice akin to schizophrenia, that argues with the consciousness within a short period of time–is that theoretically possible?”
Kiara had carefully asked about Yuki Stone’s reactions after being hypnotized and was horrified to discover that they were completely different from what she had encountered in her past life, overturning her existing knowledge system.
“When you say short, how short do you mean?” Professor Liu asked.
“Once, within half an hour.”
“The relationship between the psychologist and the patient?”
“Strangers.”
“Is the patient’s mental state normal?”
“Normal, slightly smarter than the average person, possessing a constitution that is easily hypnotized.”
“Does the patient remember the hypnosis process after being hypnotized?”
“Not at all, but there was a period of consciousness struggle afterward, and they always recalled the words that were suggested to them.”
Professor Liu furrowed his brow, stood up, and walked around the house, seemingly pondering the question.
“Theoretically, it’s impossible. Although each person has a different sensitivity level and can accept different degrees of hypnosis, the conditions you describe and the results achieved are too exaggerated. I personally believe it’s not possible.”
Kiara nodded, as she too was utterly baffled.
“According to the humanistic approach, hypnosis is about guiding patients to face their own subconscious. After all, it’s the patient themselves who acts as the agent. The psychologist merely helps create a suitable environment. Even in our past treatments, when reshaping the subconscious world for patients with mood disorders, it was about guiding them based on what was in their subconscious. First, they must have that element; then we help bring it out. But what you’re talking about involves implanting an entirely new consciousness that doesn’t belong to the patient.”
Just like when Kiara helped girls who had been hurt by men rebuild their state of mind–if a patient liked the Rogue Rabbit Clan, Kiara would help her nurture it to combat the bad things, with the premise being that the person already had a small rabbit in their heart.
Professor Liu had also teased Yuki Stone before, asking her things under hypnosis, but those were Yuki Stone’s true thoughts. Professor Liu simply guided her and did not implant anything.
Yuki Stone’s case didn’t fill her with those messy thoughts–thoughts of money, friendship, jealousy, and the like. All of these went against Yuki Stone’s original character. In other words, those things hadn’t existed in Tiara Stone’s heart; they had been forcefully implanted.
That’s why Tiara Stone was able to rely on her own consciousness to fight against these implanted notions, eventually succeeding in collaborating with Mrs. Kiara on a counterattack plan.
Professor Liu Taylor nodded; Kiara’s words resonated with her own thoughts.
“I once tried to implant entirely new concepts and even worked with relevant departments to conduct experiments on some serious offenders in prison. Unfortunately, I failed; the subconsciously implanted ideas had no effect,” she said.
Professor Liu Taylor had investigated this area before, even attempting to implant healthy and positive subconscious cues to inmates during their time of rehabilitation in prison to see if it would reduce the likelihood of reoffending.
Although there were successful cases, the final data did not meet our expectations and ended in disappointment. For most people, once an idea takes root, it is very difficult to change, regardless of how hard we try later on, especially when environment and mood complement each other. Even those who feel they have changed will revert to their bad ways when they return to a harmful environment, much like drug users who are prone to relapse when they reconnect with old friends.
“Did you conduct many experiments back then?” Kiara asked.
Professor Liu Taylor nodded. “We formed a special group with approval from above to conduct experiments. Each prisoner underwent treatment multiple times, with minimal success. So when you say it only takes half an hour to achieve those kind of results, it seems far-fetched–Steel Cannon, where did you come across such a case?”
“I… read about it in a book,” Kiara lied, feeling that if her teacher found out, she would certainly obsess over it and study it to death.
“Things written in books are often exaggerated. Ours is a science that explores through practice; don’t believe in such illusory matters. However, I did hear that recently, there are some hypnotists abroad claiming they can do what you’ve described. I’d really like to make contact with them to research how they manage it.”
“Abroad?” Kiara latched onto the keyword.
“Yes, it’s a very secretive organization, which, in a different way, shares a certain knack with your ruthless price hiking. But they are even more unscrupulous–apparently, they’ll do anything for money. If only I could make contact with them, I’d love to see what kind of tricks they pull,” explained Professor Liu Taylor.
Kiara rolled her eyes. “Teacher, can you not drag me into it when you talk about others? When have I heartlessly hiked prices to death?”
“Isn’t it you who charges several thousand per hour? Steel Cannon, I’ll tell you this: I don’t care how much you charge, but if you do any outrageous act for money, like those without any scruples, don’t come to see me again.”
Professor Liu Taylor insisted that psychologists should have ethical boundaries. This was a matter of principle.
Kiara fell silent, and after a long while, she nodded.
“I promise you, teacher. Can’t we find these people?” she asked.
“I’d love to, but it’s not possible. It’s difficult to entice them here; not only does it require money but also a referral, and fulfillment of certain criteria… Overall, it’s complicated,” he remarked.
Professor Liu Taylor was ambivalent about such matters. On one hand, she felt that the domestic level could be further broken through; on the other hand, it challenged everything she had learned up to that point. With a skeptical mindset, she wanted to find those people and see how they operated.
If it turned out to be real, she would learn from it, but she still felt it was not theoretically feasible.
“It’s all your fault! Look at you, if you had just followed Mr. Joel, you might have connected with more people through him. But you had to be so stubborn and not follow him!”
Not only was Professor Joel an authority in the field, his extensive international connections likely meant he was privy to more information. Unfortunately, Kiara had turned down such a resource, and Professor Liu Taylor was still heartbroken by it.
“Without him, I still have my ways, teacher. Let me make you a cup of coffee, and we can discuss my homework for this week?”
