"It’s the main ingredient in hair removal cream," Jiang Shu said with a serious face, and then he slowly repeated, "Hair—Remo—val—Cream."
Wolf: "..."
"Hypnotism Magic and hypnotism are actually not the same," Jiang Shu maintained his seriousness, earnestly speaking, "Hypnotism, that’s real; whereas Hypnotism Magic is actually achieving a magic effect similar to hypnotism by other means, it’s not actually hypnotism."
Like the fox’s technique, that was hypnotism; while his performance of ’Three No Hypnosis’ had nothing to do with the principles of hypnotism, this was Hypnotism Magic.
Of course, that was his personal opinion.
"Eh? Is that so?" Wolf’s expression was one of surprise that read ’I’m not well-read, don’t trick me.’
"Right," Jiang Shu nodded slowly, "I just happen to know a little bit about hypnotism, I don’t have much practical experience. If you really ask me those profound questions... I can only say, I’m a magician, not a hypnotist."
There has always been controversy between hypnotism and magic, but Jiang Shu’s understanding was as he said, hypnotism and Hypnotism Magic should be clearly differentiated.
Magic is fake, Technique is real, this is the most straightforward way to distinguish them.
Of course, if real hypnotism is used in magic, such as the use of Strong Selection, then that would require specific analysis of the specific situation.
And the main problem with performing magic using principles of hypnotism is, does the performer on stage want to do magic or hypnotism?
Hypnosis shows often feature powerful acts, like the human bridge, but these only reach the third level of hypnotism. And to use hypnotism to produce stronger magical effects, one would generally have to reach the fourth level...
And the effects of that level could be more easily achieved with magic tricks. The effort and return of using hypnotism don’t correlate, and it’s prone to failure and losing the audience...
So most of the time, Jiang Shu would not choose to use real hypnotism as the main part of his magic. It’s laborious, the effect is not necessarily good, and the controllability of hypnotism is far less than that of magic, which is not practical.
"Is that so..." Wolf didn’t understand either and didn’t ask further.
"Anyway, you don’t need to worry too much. Under normal circumstances, when a hypnotist is controlling you, the more excessive the command, the more your subconscious will resist and the easier it will be to break free," Jiang Shu reassured him.
"Then let’s go," Wolf led him out of the temporary detention cell’s main door.
The prison guards at the door saw them coming out and respectfully said, "Good day, Police Chief, you are..."
"Going to collect evidence at the scene, don’t worry," Wolf said firmly, "I’ll keep an eye on him."
"Okay." Seeing this, the prison guards said nothing more. That authority the Police Chief certainly had, and if anything went wrong, Wolf would be responsible, what did it have to do with him just watching the door?
But Jiang Shu, familiarizing himself with the prison guard, said, "Bro, help me ask something. Ask the toxicology expert in prison about that plant extract he’s researching if any of it has leaked into the outside world."
The prison guard frowned, looked toward Wolf, and Wolf simply nodded, "That was also my intention."
"Okay, I’ll ask for you." The prison guard nodded, preparing to call his colleagues, it was just a small matter.
Then, Wolf led Jiang Shu away, followed by four Tablet Spirits.
Exiting the hallway was a side hall of the courtroom, where visitors could sit and rest, while the hallway and deeper areas were off-limits to irrelevant persons.
"Shen Xuwan?" Jiang Shu saw the familiar face sitting on a sofa in the side hall; she was talking to a man dressed very seriously in front of her.
"Jiang Shu!" Shen Xuwan saw him and rushed over, looking him up and down, "Are you... okay?"
"It’s nothing," Jiang Shu smiled, "Plenty of talents in prison, conversations are pleasant."
"You..." Shen Xuwan seemed hesitant to speak.
"If all goes well, I should be able to get out today," Jiang Shu said.
"Sorry for interrupting, this gentleman... you’re the defendant Jiang Shu, Mr. Jiang, right?" The man looked at Jiang Shu and extended his hand to shake Jiang Shu’s other hand, "I’ve been commissioned by Miss Shen to come here, my name is Luo Xiang, you can call me Lawyer Luo. If you agree, I will be your lawyer for this afternoon’s second judicial hearing."
"I..." Jiang Shu looked at Shen Xuwan.
"He’s that lawyer friend of mine I was talking about. Don’t worry, he’s very capable, leaving it to him won’t be a problem," Shen Xuwan introduced Jiang Shu.
"I have no objections," Jiang Shu looked at Luo Xiang. His name somewhat threw him off, but judging by the lawyer’s attire and the intelligent glint behind those wire-rimmed glasses...
He looked very professional!
"What are you guys..." Lawyer Luo looked at Jiang Shu and Wolf, not understanding what they were doing.
Can the suspect of a second judicial hearing wander around at this time?
"Looking for evidence."
"Grabbing a bite."
Jiang Shu looked at Wolf; "Grabbing a bite" was what this guy had said.
"No problem, since that’s the case, let’s have a quick meal together and get you acquainted with the case," Wolf waved his hand and led the way outside.
"That’s fine. Based on what we currently know, the situation is unfavorable to Mr. Jiang, but not without the possibility of a turnaround," Lawyer Luo nodded and stepped forward to follow.
"Don’t worry, we’ve obtained a lot of new evidence; in fact, the situation is in our favor," Wolf said casually.
