one evening village

A certain villa in a wealthy area near South London occupies an ordinary area, but the surrounding lawns spread far away. Behind it is a deep forest, and the sound of gurgling water comes from the depths of the forest.

A black Aston Martin stopped in front of the gate of this villa, and the tall woman got out of the car first, her slightly curved eyes scanned the surroundings, and then looked back at Zhong Ning, who was obviously a little nervous, "Let's go."

The cast-iron gate was not locked, apparently because people were used to letting their guard down when they lived in this kind of place.

The two walked slowly across a stone road and stood in front of the white villa.

"..."

Zhong Ning watched Su Yuan press the doorbell, her nerves tensed up, "..." At this moment, she felt her shoulders being gently put on her shoulders, and Su Yuan comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid, Jacky is a good person .”

The door creaked open.

The person who opened the door was a tall Chinese man in his 50s with a long, well-defined face. Although he was no longer young, he could still recognize his handsome face when he was young. He took a look The two of them whispered, "Come in."

Zhong Ning was surprised that he was not surprised at all, presumably Su Yuan had told him the ins and outs of the matter in advance. "..." She subconsciously glanced at the woman with a soft smile beside her, and speaking of it, if it wasn't for Su Yuan's careful arrangements, she might still be at a loss by now.

"Come upstairs with me to the study, it's quieter there," Jacky's deep voice could not hear any emotion, maybe it was so cold by nature.

"Okay." Zhong Ning collected her thoughts and replied with a smile.

The furnishings of the study are the same as the overall style of the villa, with copper wall lamps, mahogany tables and chairs, vertical clocks, and the most noticeable thing is an oil painting on the wall.

The oil painting almost occupied the entire wall area. In the painting was a dark forest, with only one corner of the dark sky showing, and a gurgling stream passing through the forest.In the lower right corner of the painting, there is a girl in white gauze, who is sitting on a cold stone by the stream, bending over to wash clothes.

Zhong Ning stared at the painting for a long time, until Jacky finally reminded her, "Are you Zhong Ning?"

She turned around as if waking up from a dream, "Ah, um, hello."

Jacky stared at her for a while with deep eyes, and said, "First of all, let me explain to you, I usually don't do this kind of thing, this time not only because of Su Yuan's face, the main reason is--I I'm very interested in your situation."

Zhong Ning felt a little surprised, and subconsciously replied, "You're flattering me."

"I heard Su Yuan talk about you, and I also received Alex's record...your dream?" He paused, frowning and flipped through the materials, "But there is still some information missing, I need to learn more about it Your family situation is not just the form that Su Yuan asked you to fill in for me, is that okay?"

Zhong Ning was startled, then nodded, "Yes, I know."

"I have read this form, are you a single-parent family?" Jacky pushed his glasses, motioned for her to sit down with Su Yuan, and clicked on the information with his hand, "Which side was raised by the father or the mother?" ?”

Zhong Ning looked at him, a little surprised at the other person's insight, she replied anxiously, "Well, it's a single-parent family."

Jacky nodded, "It can be seen from your handwriting that you were raised by your father."

I obviously haven't said anything yet, so can I deduce it from the handwriting?Zhong Ning was even more surprised, "..." But Jacky ignored the strange expression on Zhong Ning's face, and asked again, "Did the family get divorced or did mother have an accident?"

"I..." Mentioning this matter, Zhong Ning's eyes darkened obviously.

"It's okay, I see," Jacky nodded, and wrote down notes again before she spoke, "It was my mother who had an accident."

He stared at Zhong Ning for a while, and said in a deep voice, "It seems that your mother passed away when you were very young, and you were probably... 5 or 6 years old when the accident happened?"

Zhong Ning felt uncomfortable all over.

But the other party insisted on asking, "Last question, your father is a city official, and your mother is... a teacher?" Jacky's deep eyes flickered in Zhong Ning's eyes, as if he wanted to see through her, "Oh , it turned out to be a doctor."

……

He finally stopped and put the folder aside, "I'm sorry, I don't mean anything else. In fact, I don't need to ask you about these things. I know these things, but knowing your family background face-to-face is more conducive to hypnosis."

Zhong Ning suddenly asked, "Professor, do you believe in superpowers?"

Jacky looked at her and narrowed his eyes slightly, "The so-called superpower is actually an ability that one subconsciously wishes to obtain. It is undeniable that there are still many untapped areas of human potential. I don't believe in superpowers. It's not important, but believe me or not...you need to actually test it to be sure."

Having said that, he suddenly turned his head and asked, "Anna, how is your Mandarin listening?"

Su Yuan, who had never interrupted, shook his head lightly, and said with a smile, "I can understand the simple ones, but not the difficult ones."

Jacky nodded clearly, and said in a low voice, "That's a pity, I will probably be able to use Chinese after hypnosis..." He thought for a while, then stood up from the seat, "If you don't understand something, you can ask Me, or ask the little girl herself."

"It's okay." Su Yuan smiled.

"Zhong Ning, sit on the recliner here." Jacky motioned for her to go over, and turned to the table himself, "Beforehand, hypnosis is more energy-consuming, especially in a special situation like yours, so please don't count on it. One hypnosis can see all the information clearly."

Seeing that Zhong Ning nodded sensiblely, he continued, "We have agreed that if you can't stand it, I will wake you up. The timing is - when you see me in your dream, you will wake up at that moment. "

"..."

"Well, I see." Zhong Ning took a deep breath and suddenly felt a little nervous.

"You sit here and take a rest, I have something to say to Anna," Jacky glanced at Su Yuan, Su Yuan stood up in response, before leaving, Su Yuan softly comforted Zhong Ning, "Don't worry, nothing will happen. "

"Yeah." Zhong Ning's uneasy mind finally relaxed a little.

She was alone, and she couldn't hear the voices of the other two people here, only the "tick tick" sound of the old clock in her ears. She kept looking at the huge oil painting, and her eyes gradually became erratic... It seems that there is always an illusion that I can gradually smell the cold fragrance of the forest.

Her thoughts became farther and farther away, her body gradually became extremely light, and finally... she actually fell asleep.

……

Fog spread from around her body, almost covering her eyes.

She walked out of the empty subway station without seeing any signs, and the whole world seemed to be pressed the pause button at a certain point in time.

The whole of London seemed to be more gloomy and colder than usual. She clutched her thin coat, but the effect was not obvious.

The surrounding buildings are so unfamiliar, but Zhong Ning subconsciously knows where to go. She closes her eyes and quickens her pace, thinking that she can get rid of everything as soon as possible.

Suddenly, she bumped into a woman's arms, "...be careful"

With that clear voice, the soft silhouette came into view, this tall woman looked a little strange, but also a little familiar, "Who are you?"

The corner of Su Yuan's lips curled up, but he just looked at her with a slight smile, "You know who I am...you just can't remember."

Zhong Ning frowned slightly, she felt that she should understand, but she couldn't figure it out.

Su Yuan smiled and avoided her question, "Which direction are you coming from?" Her words interrupted Zhong Ning's thoughts, leading Zhong Ning to look at the surrounding white European-style buildings, "I... seem to be coming from There."

The soft voice continued to guide her, "Which street is this?"

"This is..." Zhong Ning felt a sharp pain in the corner of her eyes, she raised her fingertips to her forehead, but unexpectedly found that her vision was a bit blurred, "..."

"Sorry, I don't think I've ever been like this before,"

Zhong Ning didn't know what was wrong with her. She took a deep breath and tried many times, "I seem to... wait a minute, let me carefully...?"

After she uttered this word, her head ached violently.

The familiar comforting voice sounded next to her ears, and the woman seemed to be getting closer, and her warm fingertips touched her forehead, massaging gently, "Zhong Ning, relax your body."

……

"What's wrong with her now?"

Su Yuan stood by the recliner, facing Zhong Ning, who had her eyes closed, leaned down, and slowly massaged her temples, "I feel a little struggling."

Standing next to her, Jacky frowned, "I'm a little bit resistant mentally, and I don't quite understand...you let her relax, you can't just give up all your previous efforts."

In the bewilderment, Zhong Ning seemed to feel better at last.

She regained her senses slightly, and the reassuring voice sounded again, "Can we go?"

Zhong Ning looked at the delicate woman in front of her, and let her gently hold her hand. She didn't want to resist, but felt that no matter what the other person treated her, it seemed natural.

She nodded slowly, "Let's go"

Finally, the two of them crossed the third street, and a classically decorated bar suddenly appeared in front of them. Along the way, only this place was brightly lit. Zhong Ning seemed to be bewitched by something, and subconsciously wanted to open the door.

"Don't worry," Su Yuan held her back.

"..." Zhong Ning turned around and looked at the other party puzzled.

"Can you see that signboard clearly?" Su Yuan asked softly with slightly curved eyes.

"Wait a minute," Zhong Ning was a little puzzled, but still looked up, this time it was still the same as before, no matter how she tried, she was so vague, "I'm sorry, I may have a little astigmatism... I was not like this before." I'm a little impatient.

"Don't worry, take your time." Su Yuan tried his best to slow down his tone, guiding her slowly.

It seems like a long time has passed.

Zhong Ning looked at it with a frown, and finally read it out, "stars"

……

"Anna, did you hear that?"

Jacky wrote down a few words and gestured to Su Yuan with his eyes.

"Wait a minute," Su Yuan was still holding the hand on the back of Zhong Ning's chair, frowning, took out his phone, and quickly located the bar on Google Maps, "That's right, stars, it's at No. 53, and the zip code is wc2a2jb"

Jacky nodded calmly.
