218: Consciousness implantation, mind control
Soon, the distance between them closed to twenty meters, and Lisa's face showed a hint of despair.
She could clearly feel her ability being suppressed, and her physical quality instantly regressed from a powerful Ability User to an ordinary person.
Ah!
Lisa stumbled and fell into the snow.
Tian Ming looked at Lisa's disheveled state, a cold smile appearing on his lips.
He walked forward and directly restrained her.
"Run, why aren't you running now?
You escaped four restraint bracelets; you're quite capable, aren't you?" Tian Ming said sharply.
Lisa fell into the snow, struggling to stand up.
With her ability suppressed, she had no room to resist in front of Tian Ming.
"Bastard, I admit you're very powerful, but our Lawrence Family will never let you go."
Tian Ming frowned.
He was tired of hearing "Lawrence, Lawrence" all day.
"The people from Life Origins who came to negotiate for your rescue have also been captured by me.
No matter how powerful your Lawrence Family is, in front of me, you still can't make waves."
Lisa's eyes widened, looking at Tian Ming with anger.
Her usual pride and dignity were completely shattered at this moment, and her current appearance was somewhat miserable, yet also somewhat comical.
"You... you!" She opened her mouth, but ultimately swallowed the words she wanted to say.
At this moment, Xin Xin appeared, looking at the beauty before her, raising an eyebrow, and shaking her head with a playful expression.
"Tsk tsk tsk, this foreign girl, according to your human aesthetics, is a top-tier beauty.
You, ah, truly don't know how to cherish beauty; I even feel it's a pity."
"What do you know?
No matter how beautiful, it's just a skin.
If you like her, I'll give her to you," Tian Ming said irritably.
Xin Xin was a consciousness entity, and if she didn't actively let Lisa see her, Lisa couldn't see her.
However, Tian Ming talking to himself made Lisa's scalp tingle.
"Who are you talking to?"
Tian Ming glanced at Lisa, but ignored her, instead saying to Xin Xin, "Think of a way to prevent her from escaping again.
Aren't you able to control living beings?
This shouldn't be difficult for you, right?"
Xin Xin heard this and looked at Tian Ming with amusement.
"You're quite good at utilizing resources, but I'll have to think about this carefully."
After speaking, she turned and circled Lisa, a strange light flickering in her eyes.
Although Lisa couldn't see Xin Xin, she could feel an inexplicable force lingering around her, and she involuntarily took two steps back.
Tian Ming said indifferently, "Can you do it or not?
If not, then forget it.
You're living in my ear, and I haven't even charged you rent."
Xin Xin smiled and said, "Rent?
Do you think your ear is that clean?
Since you want her not to run away, I do have a way."
A mischievous smile appeared on Xin Xin's face, and her eyes suddenly emitted a strange light.
Lisa only felt her body become uncontrollable, unable to even walk normally.
She was terrified, thinking Tian Ming had used some terrifying ability to control her.
But soon, she found that even her thoughts were controlled; she couldn't even think.
A moment later, her body regained freedom.
Xin Xin glanced at Tian Ming and said, "It's done.
From now on, she'll follow you.
As long as you are more than twenty meters away from her, she will be in excruciating pain."
"What kind of joke is this?
I want her not to escape, not to be my shadow!" Tian Ming was speechless.
What on earth was Xin Xin doing?
"I can't control that.
What I did is a high-level thought implantation; in your words, it's hypnosis.
It's not easy to change, you know.
Just be secretly happy that such a beautiful foreign girl is following you.
I'm leaving; you enjoy yourself."
"My goodness! ..."
Before Tian Ming could finish speaking, Xin Xin transformed into a beam of light and drilled into his ear, no longer responding, no matter how much Tian Ming cursed.
She remained silent.
He didn't know when it started, but the more frustrated Tian Ming became, the more excited Xin Xin got.
Such a bizarre habit left Tian Ming helpless.
Looking at the terrified Lisa, Tian Ming said, "You have moments of fear too?"
"Just now, I felt a pair of eyes staring at me, scrutinizing me.
There must be a demon living inside you; that demon cursed me, didn't he?"
Tian Ming heard this and couldn't help but laugh.
"Demon?
Just a consciousness entity.
You can't see her."
"Consciousness entity?" Lisa looked confused.
Tian Ming looked at Lisa with a strange gaze.
Being stared at like that, Lisa's face showed a hint of wariness.
If Tian Ming really wanted to do something to her, she couldn't resist at all.
Tian Ming ignored Lisa's wariness.
He said indifferently, "Let's do an experiment.
I'll let you run for one minute.
Beyond 20 meters, my suppression won't affect you.
You'll regain your ability.
If you can disappear from my sight within one minute, I'll let you go."
"Do you keep your word?" A glimmer of hope flashed in Lisa's heart.
With her ability restored, she could completely disappear from Tian Ming's sight within a minute.
"Of course, I keep my word," Tian Ming said seriously.
Lisa hesitated for a moment, looking at the man in front of her.
She knew she had no better choice.
So, she took a deep breath and nodded, "Okay, you say 'start'."
Tian Ming smiled slightly, raised his hand, and the ropes binding Lisa instantly broke.
"Are you ready?
Start!" At Tian Ming's command, Lisa took off running.
After running out of Tian Ming's control range, Lisa felt her heart suddenly tighten, followed by an inexplicable panic and fear that surged like a tide.
Lisa couldn't help but want to cry, but she couldn't let Tian Ming see her weakness.
She ran while trying to calm herself down.
"One minute, only one minute."
She silently told herself that as long as she held on for one minute, she would be free.
Time passed second by second, and Lisa felt her steps becoming heavier and heavier, as if an invisible shackles bound her.
Her speed became slower and slower.
She felt so uncomfortable inside, feeling as if her life had been drained.
She couldn't control herself, wanting to go back, back to Tian Ming's side.
Finally, Lisa could not bear the pain.
She staggered to a halt, covering her head with her hands and kneeling on the ground.
The mental torture made her almost unable to breathe.
She felt as if she had been abandoned by the whole world, her heart filled with loneliness and helplessness.
Tian Ming smiled and walked forward.
As the distance closed, the light returned to Lisa's originally dim eyes, and the mental torment gradually disappeared as the distance shortened, until she returned within Tian Ming's control range, and Lisa's mental pain completely vanished.
