âCan you be sure?â Romanka questioned, âAlthough I also firmly believe that the primary personality will never disappear, there is always a chance. Although this chance is only a chance, once it happens, it will be an irrevocable ending!â
Alice winced fiercely and became even more nervous. âSo what do we do now?â
Gong Fan suggested, âWhy donât you hypnotize me and Iâll go to that world too?â
âNo way.â Romanka said, âYou were already in that world. Even without hypnosis, youâd find yourself in that world. However, if you undergo hypnosis frequently, your mental strength will decline greatly.â
Gong Fan insisted, âIf I canât undergo hypnosis repeatedly, then Iâll try to fall asleep myself. Will that work?â
Romanka encouraged the boy, âWhy donât you try!â
Gong Fan nodded, lay back in his chair and closed his eyes. However, the stronger a purpose one had, the more active the surface layer of the brain was, so it was harder to fall asleep. Gong Fan couldnât will himself into falling asleep and started to feel a little anxious. He tossed and turned, and his consciousness only became clearer.
Romanka sighed, too, seeing that he was pushing it too far. âDonât push yourself too hard if you just canât sleep.â
Gong Fan opened his eyes, which were now bloodshot. âIâm worried ⦠Iâm worried about him.â
Alice asked, âDo you remember where you were before you woke up?â
âI think⦠itâs on an island.â
âAn island?â
Alice was puzzled. âWhatâs on the island, do you remember?â
âLet me think.â Gong Fan pursed his lips and thought hard, trying to recall the scene before he woke up.
âIt seems⦠Thereâs a very beautiful manor.â
âA manor?â
âUh huh. But, outside the manor, there were other things, but I usually just stay in the estate and donât venture out.â
âJust you alone?â Romanka became alert. âDo you see anyone else?â
âNo others. Just me. The island sits in the sea, it has a harbor, and I donât know what else is outside the manor estate, and Iâve never walked out of it.â
âWellâ¦â
âOh, I remember. There is a car.â Gong Fan frowned. âI remember trying to open the door to drive out, but the car seemed to be locked. I couldnât find the key, so I didnât bother after that.â
In his memory, even though there was no butler, servants, or maids in the manor, everything seemed to be in order and well taken care of.
The manor grounds were abloom with Chinese roses.
They were Yun Shishiâs favorite flowers, and they seemed to have projected themselves into the dreamscape as well.
Alice was at her witsâ end, when Romanka suddenly asked, âAre you hungry?â
Gong Fan was stunned. âYes, Iâm a little hungryâ¦â
âLetâs have something to eat!â
âButâ¦â Gong Fan was puzzled by the manâs calmness. âWhat about Youyou?â
âAt the moment, thereâs no good solution. We can only wait for you to fall asleep and proceed from there! Waiting here might not change anything!â
Alice had thought of something else, but after much deliberation, there was really no solution. Perhaps the best thing to do was to have a meal first..
As Romanka stood up, he mentioned, as if by accident, âIf youâre always in the manor, you might as well find a way to locate your car keys and go out. You might make some progress.â
