Chapter 26

This is the second time Jiang Li has encountered hypnosis.

The first time was with the "Illusion Fox," which almost cost him his life.

If it weren't for the "milky white stone," that incident would have ended in tragedy. Fortunately, he turned the disaster into a blessing, and the "Illusion Fox's" mental power unlocked the secrets within, allowing him to learn the "Mental Emperor Seal."

This time, he encountered hypnosis again.

He is no longer the naive youth he once was. When he encountered hypnosis, his instinctive awareness was startled, his thoughts flickered, his brain cells expanded, his blood surged, and his head buzzed. His eyes suddenly sparkled with a sharp light.

"Hypnotize me?"

Jiang Li immediately became clear-headed, his eyes sharp and alert.

"Such strong mental cultivation." The middle-aged executive's eyes flickered with surprise. "It seems you have also practiced hypnosis? Few people can resist my hypnosis."

This person is definitely a beginner hypnotist, and his life force might be around 0.9.

"Turns out it was a test." Although Jiang Li was very annoyed, he knew that this was the other party's territory, and losing his temper would be of no benefit.

He knew that if he couldn't resist the hypnosis, he would reveal all his secrets.

"What is the purpose of testing me, sir?" Jiang Li's tone was very cold.

"Don't misunderstand." The middle-aged executive quickly smiled. "With such strong mental cultivation, do you have any interest in making money? Our security group is recruiting hypnotists."

"Recruiting hypnotists?"

Jiang Li came to this black market for two reasons: to buy super protein to enhance his strength, and to look for opportunities to make money.

"How much per month? What kind of work?" He asked about the benefits first.

"The benefits depend on your own strength," the middle-aged executive said. "My name is Gao Ren. How should I address you, sir?"

"Jiang Huo." Jiang Li naturally didn't use his real name.

However, "Li" means "fire."

He fabricated this name.

"If you don't mind, Mr. Jiang, can you show your strength?" Gao Ren snapped his fingers, and Jiang Li's attention was immediately drawn to the snap. The other party was using hypnosis again.

Any casual movement, any casual word, any sound, was part of the hypnosis. If Jiang Li weren't proficient in hypnosis, he would have been deceived again.

"I don't have much strength, no need to show it." Jiang Li waved his hand to refuse.

However, when he waved his hand, it moved gently, creating afterimages that immediately caught people's attention.

Thud!

The pretty waitress fell to the ground, limp and sleeping.

Gao Ren felt his vision blur, and his face changed abruptly. He suddenly roared, "Stop!"

The roar shook some of the crystal glass cabinets.

Jiang Li stopped!

He was very cunning. He had said he wouldn't demonstrate hypnosis, but he was actually deceiving. While speaking, he concentrated all his mental energy, coordinating his brain and hand movements to create a strong influence.

A hypnotist must seize every opportunity to catch the subject off guard.

Otherwise, if you tell the subject you are about to hypnotize them, they will resist, making it difficult to succeed.

Jiang Li learned hypnosis online, reading countless video tutorials. One of the most classic videos showed a hypnotist trying to hypnotize a person who was resistant, but failing.

In the end, the hypnotist said he was tired and wanted to drink water.

The person believed it and watched the hypnotist pour water.

As a result, the steady stream of water, forming a line and hitting the cup, captivated the person, who was then hypnotized.

First, deceive the subject, making them unprepared and lowering their guard, which is the most important technique for a hypnotist.

"Amazing!"

Gao Ren looked at the sleeping waitress on the ground, who didn't wake up even after his roar. In fact, his roar was a "lion's roar," which could awaken a person's consciousness and immediately clear their mind.

"Too kind." Jiang Li smiled. "What do you think of my hypnosis skills?"

"Your level is already that of a beginner hypnotist." Gao Ren seemed to have discovered a new continent. "Brother, I think you can sign a contract with our security group and become a contracted hypnotist."

"I'll contact you if I'm interested." Jiang Li didn't want to tangle with Gao Ren any longer. He wanted to return and inject the super protein as soon as possible to enhance his strength.

"Alright, brother. Here's my card. Contact me if you have any issues in the future." Gao Ren handed him a card.

Jiang Li took it, put it away, and left.

After he left, Gao Ren took out a silver needle and deeply inserted it into the waitress's brain, stimulating her with acupuncture. The waitress then woke up.

"Mr. Gao, this person's hypnosis skills are amazing." The waitress was still shaken after waking up.

"Indeed, I almost fell for it. Our group needs such talent. I hope this person will contact me in the future." Gao Ren said.

"Should we investigate this person?" The waitress asked quickly.

"No need. Our rule is not to inquire about clients, no matter who they are." Gao Ren shook his head. "Breaking this rule will lose us many big clients, and if the higher-ups investigate, we'll be in trouble."

"Yes!" The waitress was startled.

"I think this person will come to me... He seems to be very short of money." Gao Ren said.

As he walked out of the "Security Building," Jiang Li felt many eyes staring at him, as if he were a sheep surrounded by wolves. He knew that some gang members were stationed at the entrance of the "Security Building," watching who came out to plan robberies.

There were already such posts online.

Company members who came to the black market to purchase banned drugs were often robbed as soon as they left the building.

However, Jiang Li was prepared. He suddenly darted into a small alley, where he saw several large men surrounding him. He quickly took them down with a few punches and kicks, ran a few steps, and shook off the pursuers, quickly weaving through the streets to reach an abandoned building, where he finally calmed down.

He had studied the escape routes online.

Xuhua City had many abandoned buildings, uninhabited and left over from a century ago, making them perfect for hiding.

He planned to inject the super protein here.

Because super protein is a banned drug, taking it home would be illegal, and if discovered, he would face imprisonment. Of course, some drug dealers had channels to transport it to other cities, but Jiang Li didn't have such channels and couldn't even board a train.

The train from Xuhua City to Xinghua City had strict inspections.

Once off the train, it was a different world.

So, his only option was to inject the super protein in Xuhua City.

"Check if this drug is real. Don't buy fake drugs, or it will be a loss. I've seen that the Security Group is large and reputable, so they wouldn't use fake drugs to deceive others. The black market has a good reputation." Jiang Li was still cautious, taking out the greenish jade-colored drug and examining it carefully.

He carefully squeezed out a little, took a photo with his computer, and used a network microscope for a preliminary analysis.

With the development of technology, a single optical brain chip can replace many tasks. The photo taken by the optical brain can be uploaded to the internet for scientific analysis. There are specialized websites that charge a small fee, though they cannot be used for scientific research, but they can distinguish between real and fake.

Soon, the molecular structure and authenticity verification appeared online, confirming that the super protein was real.

"Hope this can be absorbed perfectly." After thinking for a while and thoroughly understanding the function of the super protein, he calmed his mind and began the injection.

Squish!

The needle went in!

Watching the liquid slowly enter his vein, Jiang Li almost immediately felt as if he had jumped into a volcano. His heart rate increased tenfold! Thump, thump, thump, like a drum, his blood vessels dilated, his body seemed to swell, his vision blurred, and he felt a burning heat inside him.

He wanted to tear apart anything in front of him.

"Calm down, calm down..." He immediately realized how powerful the drug was. No wonder ordinary people couldn't use it. He tried to stay calm, keep his mind peaceful, and slow his blood flow, but it was useless; his body moved uncontrollably.

The super protein was too violent!

He couldn't calm down, more powerful than any stimulant by dozens of times!

After injection, his blood vessels dilated, and Jiang Li felt his heart was about to explode, his blood vessels about to burst, and his head felt like something was exploding inside, buzzing loudly.

He immediately fell into a deep sleep.

Indeed, each cell seemed to be rejoicing, finally getting a full meal.

The injection of the super protein caused a complete transformation in Jiang Li.

First, his physique began to shape perfectly, his body like a skin bag, expanding and contracting with each breath. Each breath brought a large amount of air, making him feel like a super jet car.

Anyone would think he looked like a superhero.

There were legends from two hundred years ago, during the national era, that super martial arts experts could blow back the waves at the seaside while practicing. Jiang Li had always thought it was a legend, but seeing his current state, he believed it was possible.

Thus, the powerful effects of the super protein dissolved into his cells, optimizing and transforming his life potential.

The movement of the cells began to change Jiang Li's entire body function.

His cells, like insatiable beasts, consumed the super protein, each cell rejoicing and becoming stronger, especially his brain cells, which rapidly processed information, making his forehead feel like a diamond bead was forming.

After a few hours, he woke up, feeling full of energy, all the damage caused by his previous breath control fully repaired.

This was an intuition, as Jiang Li "internally examined" his body and found that none of his organs felt weak.

In the past, although he knew he was strong, the feeling of being weak inside never left him. This was clearly due to damaged life potential, meaning he wouldn't live long.

Now, he was finally recovering.

However, Jiang Li didn't dare to try breath control again. The level of that technique was definitely beyond his current ability to handle.
