Chapter 560 Hypnosis(1/2)
Dong Biao took advantage of the situation and continued to get angry: "I was so angry by you just now? Your uncle, everyone shot so accurately. I only killed five people in total, and you all ate all the flesh. Damn, there is only one left and you won't leave it for me?"
One of the brothers suddenly pointed to the side and said, "Brother Biao, there is still a piece of meat over there!"
Looking in the direction of the brother's finger, Dong Biao smirked and said, "I have lost my arms and legs, I have no strength! Okay, you guys should work, remember, if there is anyone who can stand up, keep it with our Master Luo!"
Dong Biao's voice was loud enough that Luo Lie could hear clearly even twenty meters away. When Dong Biao carried the gun and returned to Luo Lie and the fake Mr. Sun, Luo Lie protested again: "Brother Biao, why do you call me Master Luo?"
Dong Biao lit another cigarette and said with a smile: "When Brother Bin accepts you as his godson, aren't you Mr. Luo?"
Luo Lie was stunned, then smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Biao, what are you kidding?"
Dong Biao snorted and said, "Do I seem to be joking with you? I have mentioned this three times to Brother Bin."
Luo Lie suddenly laughed: "It seems that Brother Bin is not interested in your proposal."
Dong Biao squirted a sip of cigarette, looked at Luo Lie with a slanted eye, and said, "How did you guess it?"
Luo Lie said: "Does it still need to guess? If Brother Bin is interested, he still needs to say it three times?"
Dong Biao carried the rifle on his shoulder, freed up a hand, and put it on Luo Lie's shoulder: "To be honest, Brother Bin is not uninterested, but unwilling to force you to do so. As long as Brother Biao insists, you must change your words sooner or later call me Uncle Biao."
Luo Lie smiled and said, "If you want me to change my words and call you Uncle Biao, then you can say it clearly, why are you going around the bush? Yes, Uncle Biao?"
Dong Biao was stunned for a few seconds, snorted coldly, turned around and left. After walking a few steps, he shouted: "Don't be stupid, we should go back to Los Angeles to meet Brother Bin!"
When driving, although the mountain road was bumpy, it was quite hard for people to sit in the car, and the car was not necessarily much faster than using two legs. Therefore, if Dong Biao called, Luo Lie and the fake Mr. Sun ignored it.
The brothers of Anliangtang worked very quickly. After a short while, they threw all eighty bodies off the cliff. As for the potholes blown out by chain thunders and the shells scattered on the ground, the brothers were too lazy to deal with.
When everyone walked on the road, Dong Biao was already waiting at the intersection with a cigarette.
"What, do you want to walk back to Los Angeles City?"
The fake Mr. Sun and Luo Lie did not say a word and got into the car directly.
Dong Biao couldn't help but mutter: "I'm so thick-skinned!"
A brother came forward and reported: "Brother Biao, there are 80 in total, which is a bit different from the number we estimate."
Dong Biao took a sip of cigarettes and said, "It's not a bad thing to miss the internet. Someone has to go back to report the death, right? Where are you hiding your car? Should you take Brother Biao's car first and drive it over?"
The brother shook his head and said, "No, Brother Biao, the car is carried to a hidden point. There are fewer people going to go out and I can't get it out. You go back first, don't let Brother Bin wait in a hurry."
After getting on the way, Mr. Sun, a fake, patted Dong Biao on the shoulder from behind and said, "Brother Biao, I won't say much if you want to say politely, brother. If you have the opportunity to return to China, you must think about contacting me."
Universal Circus' performance in San Diego was another success.
Zhao Daxin was hit by the left arm, but he was very injured. Therefore, the Peng Family Ban's "Dull" program, which was originally determined to be the finale, was replaced by aerial performers performed by foreigners, while the Peng Family Ban only performed a juggling with the second, fourth, fifth, and sixth brothers.
In the entire circus, except for the parties involved Zhao Daxin and Luo Lie, no one knew what happened after the train heading to San Diego that day was inexplicably stopped halfway. Everyone performed when they should perform, and when they should rest, and their life and work did not change at all.
Zhao Daxin is still as usual. As a senior brother, he naturally has to take care of everything about his junior brothers and sisters. Luo Lie is still naughty. Not only can he tease Alice, but he also teases his senior brothers and sisters sooner or later.
Alice was still cheerful. As long as Father Simon was not mentioned, Alice's silver bell-like laughter could be heard at any time. However, Father Simon was a name that Alice could never bypass.
Father Simon fulfilled his promise, gave up his lofty status in St. John's Cathedral, and followed the Universal Circus to San Diego without doing anything. Anderson Jr. had to take care of all kinds of trivial affairs of the Universal Circus, so he naturally could not take time out every day to talk and chat with Father Simon. Fortunately, there was Luo Lie. After Alice returned to her room to sleep, he would always knock on Father Simon's door and chat with Father Simon for a half hour and forty minutes.
After San Diego, Universal Circus returned to the East Coast, and after touring three cities in Atlanta, Washington and Philadelphia, it finally returned to New York. At this time, spring has passed and midsummer has arrived.
Gan He is approaching his due date, and Zhao Daxin sent Gan He to Lanoschu Hospital early. Although the cost of nearly two dollars a day is really distressing, Zhao Daxin, who has broken the spiritual shackles and returned to his normal life, feels it is worth it. The hope of his life lies with the child in Gan He's belly. Therefore, even if it costs a greater price, Zhao Daxin must ensure the safety of the mother and son.
Simon spent ten years in the position of the priest, and naturally had some savings, but there was no need to be much money. After leaving St. John's Cathedral, he naturally had no source of income. He had no choice but to follow the circus all the way, so he could only live in a hotel. But after arriving in New York, Father Simon rented a private house next to the circus's residence as a place to live.
The second senior brother Wang Tao and the fourth senior sister Gan Lian took on the job of buying vegetables and cooking, while Luo Lie and Alice contracted the task of delivering food to the senior brother and sister-in-law. Luo Lie is kind-hearted and always prepares one more when preparing food, either on the way to the hospital or when he comes back, he turns a corner and delivers it to Father Simon. Alice has no intention of stopping it, but she never follows Luo Lie into Father Simon's room. Father Simon is also very tactful. Whenever Luo Lie delivers food to him, he just walks to the balcony silently and glances at his beloved daughter from a distance.
The contract between Peng Jiaban and the Global Circus was only three months away. Mr. Anderson Jr. showed his kindness again, and at the same time, in order to allow New York audiences to adapt, he no longer asked Peng Jiaban to perform on stage, but his salary was paid a lot to Peng Jiaban's account. Zhao Daxin was dissatisfied and asked Anderson Jr. to ask Anderson Jr. to halve his salary, but he was rejected by Anderson Jr. Anderson Jr.'s reason was very simple. At the beginning, the horse farm was poisoned by Naduo Hu Yiqing, and more than half of the horses died. The circus was in turmoil, but Peng Jiaban strongly supported it. Now, the Global Circus is at its peak, and it is time to repay Peng Jiaban.
The days without performances are a bit monotonous but also a little comfortable. Zhao Daxin has plenty of time to accompany Gan He in the hospital, and the second senior brother Wang Tao and the fourth senior sister Gan Lian can work together all day on the excuse of buying vegetables and cooking. The fifth and sixth senior brothers have long been disgusted with the stage, and they just took this opportunity to learn English well. Only Luo Lie and Alice always felt energetic and had no place to use it.
Alice was addicted to acting and could not follow Peng Jiaban on stage, so she got involved in other circus programs. Alice was beautiful and had good dancing postures, and each program team was rushing to ask for her. As a result, when performing every night, Alice became the busiest actor in the circus.
At the beginning, Luo Lie would perform and watch Alice's performance, but after watching it for a few days, he felt bored. On this day, while Alice was busy among various program groups, Luo Lie sneaked out and ran to Father Simon to chat with Father Simon.
"Simon, what do you think I'm doing? Learning guns is really boring. Brother Biao gave me a revolver, but there were not many bullets and I had used up a long time ago. If I went to buy bullets again, it would be too expensive and would not cost-effective." After getting along for a long time, Luo Lie and Father Simon have become friends of age, so Luo Lie's name for Father Simon has become simpler and has become a name for himself.
Father Simon said: "Nuoli, since you are asking for my opinion, I solemnly recommend a sport, boxing. I think you are very suitable for practicing boxing. If you can work hard, you may not be able to get a lightweight gold belt after a period of time!" Father Simon said, and even made a boxing posture and made two jabs.
Luo Lie smiled and said, "Western boxing? Can Western boxing be as powerful as Chinese martial arts? You can't use your feet and elbows, you can only use two fists, and you don't have these skills of throwing the lock and turning it over. You're bored and don't want to learn it."
Father Simon made another combination of punches and smiled and said, "Different, Nuoli, I didn't say that Chinese martial arts are inferior to boxing. These are two sports, each with its own charm..."
Luo Lie interrupted Father Simon and said, "If you don't want to learn, you don't want to learn. Simon, no matter how nice you say, I still don't want to learn. You should change your suggestions."
Father Simon thought seriously for a moment, and suddenly shone with his eyes, and said in surprise: "Why did I forget Kevin? Noli, I thought of a suggestion, you will definitely be interested."
Luo Lie said anxiously: "Then just say it!"
Father Simon laughed twice before saying, "I met a friend in St. John's Cathedral, Kevin Gordon, who is a very good psychologist, proficient in hypnosis and mind reading. How about it? Noli, are you already full of expectations?"
Luo Lie said in surprise: "Hypnosis? Mind reading? Simon, the person you are talking about is not a liar, right? I think the so-called hypnosis and mind reading are just legends."
Father Simon laughed and said, "No, Nori, it really exists, and it is not witchcraft, it is real science."
Luo Lie shrugged his shoulders, curled his lips, shook his head and said, "No, no, I still can't believe it."
Father Simon said: "If you don't believe me, put it aside, Noli, tell me, if Kevin is not a liar, his hypnosis and mind reading are real and effective, would you be interested?"
Luo Lie said: "If what you said is true, I think it is no longer a question of not being interested in me, but I don't know if I can control my excitement."
Father Simon said: "Kevin opened a private clinic in Manhattan to provide psychotherapy services for patients. I know his address, Noli, you don't have to deliver me food tomorrow. I want to go to Manhattan and find this old friend of mine."
Luo Lie said happily: "Simon, it's so great. Tell me, how do you want me to thank you?"
Father Simon waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Oh, no, Nuoli, you have always been helping me. It is my honor to be able to repay you today."
Luo Lie said: "Simon, my help to you is just a small task, but you have provided me with resources that are hard to come by, so I must thank you. Well, I will tell you a secret about Alice."
As soon as he heard Alice's name, Father Simon suddenly felt energetic and quickly leaned towards Luo Lie.
Luo Lie said mysteriously: "Alice loves to eat braised pork with my master's sister-in-law the most, but the master's sister is going to have a baby these days and is admitted to the hospital. The braised pork with my second and fourth brothers is very unpalatable. Let me tell you, I have learned the secret of braised pork with my master's sister-in-law. When you come back from Manhattan, I will teach you how to cook braised pork. Alice will definitely be very happy after eating it."
The braised pork made by Gan He is much worse than that in domestic restaurants, but Alice has never been to China, and has never eaten authentic Chinese cuisine. Therefore, being able to eat braised pork with Gan He is already a delicious food for Alice. Braised braised pork is actually not difficult, the key is to grasp the temperature, and it also takes more time. However, the second senior brother Wang Tao and fourth senior sister Gan Lian are not thinking about cooking at all, so the braised pork made is fat and greasy, which is really difficult to swallow.
Smart people often learn everything easily and quickly. Luo Lie only saw his master's wife making braised pork once and remembered all the steps. Therefore, saying that he had learned secretly was not just bragging.
Father Simon was very excited when he heard Luo Lie's words, but for only a moment, his mood fell down. "Nuoli, I don't have any kitchen utensils here, how can I cook for Alice?"
Luo Lie waved to Father Simon and signaled him to lean his ear over. When Father Simon understood and turned his ear over, Luo Lie attached himself to Father Simon's ear and whispered a few words.
Father Simon asked, "Can this work?"
Luo Lie replied confidently: "I said yes, it will definitely do it!"
Kevin Gordon's clinic is located on Madison Avenue in Manhattan. It is the most prosperous place in New York and the most concentrated place for dignitaries. The psychological pressure of wealthy and powerful people is far greater than that of ordinary people, so the chance of psychological problems is much higher than that of ordinary people. Kevin Gordon opened the clinic on Madison Avenue. The cost of renting a house alone is nearly twice as high as that of other areas. However, there are many patients here, and business is naturally booming. Therefore, spending more rent is definitely a good deal for Kevin Gordon.
When Father Simon found Kevin Gordon's clinic, it was almost noon, and Kevin Gordon was still providing hypnotic and stress-relieving services to a patient. Father Simon waited for a long time and only met Kevin Gordon at twelve o'clock.
When old friends met, they were naturally happy and excited. Kevin Gordon gave Father Simon a super hug.
"Simon, my priest, why are you back to New York?" Kevin Gordon invited Father Simon into his office. Before he could sit down, he asked anxiously.
Father Simon responded happily: "Kevin, my friend, I can't wait to share my joy with you, I've found my daughter!"
Kevin Gordon was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "Simon, this is not a good news. While I congratulate you, I am also deeply worried about you. My friend, are you in trouble?"
Father Simon smiled and said, "Thank you, Kevin, only real friends are worried about me. Kevin, I just left St. John's Cathedral and did not leave the church, so I have no trouble yet. Oh, no, my only trouble now is that my daughter refuses to recognize me."
Kevin Gordon got up and poured two glasses of whiskey, brought it over, and said, "When you left her, she was only three years old. It has been fifteen years in a blink of an eye. Simon, she won't remember you, so it's normal not to recognize you."
Father Simon took the wine glass, took a sip, and said, "I don't blame her, it's me that I hurt her."
Kevin Gordon sighed and said, "You can't blame you all, Simon, in the circumstances at that time, entering the church was your only choice."
Father Simon said: "There is a cause and there will be a result. I don't want to put the blame on Celena, Kevin, you are my best friend, you should understand me, right?"
Kevin Gordon raised his glass and smiled, "The past is unbearable to look back on. Simon, let's not say that those old things are going to pass by in old ways. Let's talk about the present, what can I do to help you?"
Father Simon said: "I really have something to ask for you. Alice's boyfriend, a great Chinese guy, is very interested in your hypnosis and mind reading. I want to introduce him to be your student."
Kevin Gordon couldn't help but frown and said, "Chinese? Simon, you know I don't have a good impression of Chinese people. They are good at making profits. If they learn hypnosis and mind reading, they are afraid they will use it to do bad things."
Father Simon said: "No, Kevin, Noli is a very kind and honest young man. Please believe him and I can guarantee him!"
Kevin Gordon nodded and said, "Not many people can get the priest's guarantee, even white people. Well, I can change my attitude towards that Chinese guy, but I must explain in advance that not everyone is qualified to learn hypnosis and mind reading, especially hypnosis, which requires the talent of the learner. So, you have to bring him to me, and I want to verify whether he has this talent to make the final decision."
This was something Father Simon could not have thought in advance. He thought to himself that if Noli had not passed Kevin's verification, he would have lost a chance to please Alice. This was a huge loss for him and it was simply unbearable. "Kevin, listen to me, Kevin, not everyone has extremely high talent like you. I owe Noli. All I can do for him is to introduce him to you and learn hypnosis and mind reading from you. I have already made a promise to him with my chest, Kevin, my friend, you won't let me break my promise in front of a young man, right? You know, he is Alice's boyfriend, and Alice trusts the most, even surpassing Celena."
Kevin Gordon shook his head helplessly and said, "It seems that I must break my principles for you. Well, my friend, I am most happy to be able to help you. I am willing to break the principles for you and bring that Chinese guy."
Father Simon happily put down the wine glass in his hand, stepped forward and hugged Kevin Gordon, and said, "Thank you, my friend, it's time for lunch. Why don't we find a restaurant and chat while eating, how about it?"
That night, Father Simon told Luo Lie the good news.
When he was young, Luo Lie heard his grandfather talk about the Gu Heart Technique or the Heart-Surfaced and Ecstasy in the world. As long as the caster and the caster meet the eyes, the caster will immediately feel dizzy and lose his mind and let the caster manipulate. What's more, even the eyes don't need to be right. He just needs to write the name and birth date of the caster on a doll, and then activate the spell to control the mind of the caster. This is just a legend in the world. Although the legendary person said that it has a nose and eyes and looks like a real thing, very few people have experienced it personally. Grandpa also told Luo Lie that anyone who practices this kind of witchcraft has their eyes all blue.
Later, Luo Lie went to study at the Chinese and Western School and came into contact with foreigners. He found that the eyes of all foreigners were blue. Luo Lie thought that these foreigners had changed their eyes because of practicing the art of mind-calculating and ecstasy. When they grew up, they understood more principles. Luo Lie gradually changed his mind and thought that the so-called art of mind or art of mind-calculating and ecstasy were just some tricks of cheating in the world and should not have existed.
But after coming to the United States of America, Luo Lie discovered that he was wrong. The hypnosis of foreigners really exists, and there are a lot of them, of course the level is high and low. This hypnosis is very similar to the Chinese mind-calculating and ecstasy technique, but the caster's techniques are different.
With such a psychological process, Luo Lie inevitably developed a strong sense of curiosity about hypnosis.
So when Father Simon informed Kevin Gordon had agreed to teach him hypnosis and mind reading, Luo Lie seemed very excited. "It's great, Simon, when will I see Kevin?"
"Well..." Father Simon smiled and stammered: "It may be tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow."
