A crystal ball? Was it a lamp?

Curiously, he held up the crystal ball. He vaguely remembered seeing it in her room earlier in the day, but he hadn’t expected it to glow. Was it a lamp?

The actor examined the object but found no switch for the light source.

Well then… How did this crystal ball glow?

Studying this magical crystal ball, he suddenly noticed that there was a swirl of lingering mist within the ball. He gently placed his hand on the surface of the ball. The mist nimbly gathered itself at his palm. Through the thin crystal ball, it turned, condensed, and scattered as he moved his hand around the surface…

What was this!?He had never seen anything like this magical crystal ball. The mist inside seemed to have a soul.

Puzzled, he turned to look at Natalia who was lying in the bed. She was sleeping quietly beneath the covers, so quietly she seemed lifeless.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

His gaze shifted back to the crystal ball. He couldn’t help feeling suspicious.

…

“Crystal ball?”

“Uh huh.” The actor told Alice about the crystal ball.

For some reason, Alice was silent for a long time. “You said the crystal ball was purple with mist in it.”

The actor described the crystal ball again.

Alice’s breath caught in her throat. “How is that possible?” She seemed to be muttering to herself.

“What’s the matter?”

“Impossible.” Alice said grimly, “Such a crystal ball doesn’t exist.”

“But I saw it with my own eyes.”

“Impossible.” Alice frowned, her tone grave. “Such crystal balls are usually used for hypnotherapy. It’s something that only experienced hypnotists would have. How… how could she own something like that!?”

For some reason, the actor winced. He scratched his brow and stared at the bare wall for a moment.

“Is there really such a thing as hypnosis?” The actor didn’t seem convinced. As far as he knew, such crystal balls only existed in the world of magic, an object used in divination. In reality, it was actually used for hypnosis? “There is really such a thing as hypnosis?”

Alice said coolly, “Do you want me to perform it so that you can experience it?”

The actor was even more surprised. “You know hypnosis!?”

Alice fell silent. It seemed Gong Jie had not given the actor a proper introduction to her background. Hua Jin was actually unaware that she was an experienced hypnotist.

“If you don’t mind, I can show you what hypnosis feels like.”

“That’s fake, right?” The actor was unimpressed. “If I have a strong will, how would you be able to hypnotize me?”

Alice rolled her eyes. “How else do you think I erased Youyou’s memory?”

“But you didn’t succeed either.”

Alice fell silent.

“So, you don’t seem to be a very successful hypnotist!”

The woman ground her teeth in fury! Was this guy asking for a beating?! “Okay, I’ve taken note of this. Just be more careful, whatever you do.”

“Well then…” The actor asked curiously, “What should we do with that crystal ball?”

“Just pretend you don’t know about it.” After a pause, Alice said with genuine concern, “You’re so stupid, I’m really worried that with your IQ, Natalia will run you over.”

“Enough. I won’t allow you to doubt my intelligence.”

“You doubt my ability in hypnosis. I doubt your intelligence. Alright then, we’re even.”
