4359 The Other Side 328
“Can you be sure?” Romanka questioned, “Although 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!”
Alice winced fiercely and became even more nervous. “So what do we do now?”
Gong Fan suggested, “Why don’t you hypnotize me and I’ll go to that world too?”
“No way.” Romanka said, “You were already in that world. Even without hypnosis, you’d find yourself in that world. However, if you undergo hypnosis frequently, your mental strength will decline greatly.”
Gong Fan insisted, “If I can’t undergo hypnosis repeatedly, then I’ll try to fall asleep myself. Will that work?”
Romanka encouraged the boy, “Why don’t you try!”
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 couldn’t 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. “Don’t push yourself too hard if you just can’t sleep.”
Gong Fan opened his eyes, which were now bloodshot. “I’m worried … I’m worried about him.”
Alice asked, “Do you remember where you were before you woke up?”
“I think… it’s on an island.”
“An island?”
Alice was puzzled. “What’s on the island, do you remember?”
“Let me think.” Gong Fan pursed his lips and thought hard, trying to recall the scene before he woke up.
“It seems… There’s a very beautiful manor.”
“A manor?”
“Uh huh. But, outside the manor, there were other things, but I usually just stay in the estate and don’t venture out.”
“Just you alone?” Romanka became alert. “Do you see anyone else?”
“No others. Just me. The island sits in the sea, it has a harbor, and I don’t know what else is outside the manor estate, and I’ve never walked out of it.”
“Well…”
“Oh, I remember. There is a car.” Gong Fan frowned. “I remember trying to open the door to drive out, but the car seemed to be locked. I couldn’t find the key, so I didn’t bother after that.”
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 Shishi’s favorite flowers, and they seemed to have projected themselves into the dreamscape as well.
Alice was at her wits’ end, when Romanka suddenly asked, “Are you hungry?”
Gong Fan was stunned. “Yes, I’m a little hungry…”
“Let’s have something to eat!”
“But…” Gong Fan was puzzled by the man’s calmness. “What about Youyou?”
“At the moment, there’s no good solution. We can only wait for you to fall asleep and proceed from there! Waiting here might not change anything!”
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, “If you’re always in the manor, you might as well find a way to locate your car keys and go out. You might make some progress.”
