He picked up Zhou Tianhao's body and threw it on the sofa. Lin Chi began to look for clues related to hypnosis in this house comparable to a garbage dump.

It is undoubtedly very difficult to rely on the level of hypnosis in the basement to make people feel lifelike.

In Lin Chi's opinion, Zhou Tianhao and his sister had definitely accepted some hint before, so they saw the same illusion.

So, the point now is - where exactly do they receive "hints"?

Lin Chi walked into a bedroom next to him, sat on the creaking wooden chair, and turned on the laptop on the table.

He originally planned to let Frankenstein come and crack the password, but found that the computer had no password at all. The default desktop of the blue sky and white clouds was filled with various documents and charts.

It seems that perhaps because of the heavy work, Zhou Tianhao even omitted the steps to input the password by turning on the computer. No wonder his sister could see the information from the Game Administration Bureau and find the basement at No. 33, Tongshan South Road.

"Let's take a look."

Lin Chi opened the document on this computer and checked the contents. Then he soon found that the contents in the document were basically what he had seen.

——These documents are basically the same as the documents stolen from the Game Administration last time commissioned by a hacker. After reading for a while, Lin Chi lost interest.

He was about to check if there were any hidden files, but the screen in front of him suddenly flashed.

"Um?"

Lin Chi blinked.

It wouldn't be strange if the screen flashed ten years ago, but laptops in the past shouldn't have flashed screens.

——What's going on?

Lin Chi stared at the desktop with blue sky and white clouds on the screen, and soon the screen flashed again.

The flashing disappears this time is much faster than last time. If Lin Chi hadn't been very focused, he might have regarded it as an illusion.

However, the exhausted office worker who is working on this computer is likely to not notice the abnormality of the screen.

But if Zhou Tianhao didn't pay attention, the next flash would start to "incorporate private goods":

Lin Chi stared at the desktop and waited for about five minutes. The next flash finally appeared:

This time, in the flash of pictures, Lin Chi saw a light green two-story wooden house and a yard wall made of red brick.

Although the picture disappeared very quickly, so fast that even Lin Chi could not see the details clearly, the picture soon appeared with the next flash and stayed on the retina for a brief moment.

"So that's the routine..."

Noting the fleeting inexplicable scene, Lin Chi already understood the reason why Zhou Tianhao was hypnotized.

In fact, this routine of adding hints to the screen has been tested by TV stations a long time ago.

——A TV station once conducted an experiment, adding a very short-term interruption screen to the program, and wrote several meaningless digital sequences.

The interrupted image appeared so short that people watching TV could not notice that the program was being tampered with. But even if their brains seemed to "not knowing" the existence of the image, their eyes still faithfully recorded the image information and then passed the numbers into their minds.

Afterwards, when the staff conducted an interview, they found that many viewers who watched the show had an impression of the numbers and could even say the numbers in full, even if they hadn't realized where they learned the information.

——This kind of picture that appears in a very short time can "implant" information in the audience's brain without any feeling.

If it only took one or two times, it would be of no effect. But at that time, Zhou Tianhao, who was busy at the time, stared at the computer screen every day, accepted the hints more than single digits.

It is not surprising that Zhou Tianhao will have hallucinations after accepting this hint at the screen for a long time.

However, why does this kind of thing appear in his computer?

"Can this guy gets infected with the virus on an adult website?" Lin Chi said thoughtfully.

Staring at the screen that was still flashing from time to time, Lin Chi leaned against the somewhat unstable chair, and the voice of Frankenstein came from his headphones:

"I found a chat record, which I think is a bit strange."

"Let me see." Lin Chi said.

As soon as he finished speaking, a large number of chat records had appeared on the virtual screen projected above his phone:

A: "This world is false."

Valkyrie: "Is this a word game? I prefer intrabrain imaging games."

A: "If you look closely, you will find something weird."

Valkyrie: "Don't lie to me, I'm not a child."

——From the nickname, this "Valkyrie" should be Zhou Tianhao's sister, and the mysterious "A" must be the guy who tricked her into boarding the pirate ship.

Lin Chi has seen this common brainwashing rhetoric in the propaganda of some cults. Generally speaking, not many people will be fooled. But this time, that guy seems to have succeeded:

A: "Looking around you, it's strange that the man sitting in the bedroom typing on the keyboard."

Valkyrie: "Are you monitoring me?"

A: "I've been watching everything you see."

Valkyrie: "I'm going to call the police."

A: "That means nothing, they can't find me."

Valkyrie: "Why?"

A: "They are just 'order masters' that you fantasize about and want to prevent you from awakening."

Valkyrie: "What the hell?"

A: "I am your attending doctor. The real you are lying on the hospital bed and are unconscious due to the trauma of your brain. Only by leaving this illusory world can you truly wake up."

After reading this, Lin Chi sighed: "Is there anyone using such an old routine?"

"Humans are always repeating past mistakes." Frankenstein's words sound quite philosophical.

"I was thinking, if I also accepted these hints, maybe I could enter that 'illusion world'?" Lin Chi said thoughtfully.

——Since Zhou Tianhao saw that illusion, if he accepted the same hint, he might be able to enter the virtual world where "Sophia" is located.

However, even if you have learned about the other party's tricks, it is difficult to be hypnotized. Moreover, after this intrusion operation, the other party's vigilance may become heavier.

"So, if you don't enter that world, can you wake her up?"

Lin Chi looked down at the computer screen that was still flashing from time to time, and began to think about the key to the problem.

At this time, Zhou Tianhao's voice came from the living room:

“Where am I…”
