Capítulo 793: Chapter 667: True mories (2)

Li Lingling followed suit.

Her thumb and index finger gently pinched, as if a force from a suspended island full of birdsong and fragrance injected into the little roof in the storm.

The tension in Li Lingling’s body visibly eased.

After two breaths, Li Lingling’s voice carried a sob: “I see it… it’s my family’s roof—small and narrow.”

…

“Good, you can see ‘very’ clearly now.” Nan Zhubin deliberately emphasized the encouragent.

“Feel the surroundings. Besides the rain and wind, what other sounds are there? What slls?” This is to guide the sensory details to supplent the traumatic mory more completely and realistically.

Avoid emotional stuttering caused by fragnted mories.

Being able to describe clearly also indicates having escaped the danger at the ti, further strengthening Li Lingling’s cognition of “safety in the present.”

“Sll… it’s fishy, earthy; and… the dampness of the rain, very cold.” Li Lingling’s voice carried a hint of tremble.

“The wind is very strong, howling wildly…”

“Around is water, muddy water. It carries branches, silt, and so things I can’t identify.”

“The water… has reached the edge of the roof.” Li Lingling’s sob grew heavier.

There were more details now, making it seem like a stable, real world.

Nan Zhubin officially began the attack with Li Lingling.

Nan Zhubin asked, “Where are you now? What position on the roof? Can you see yourself?”

“I’m squatting in the corner of the roof, holding the chimney. The chimney is cold, made of stone, bruising my arm, but I’m afraid to let go.”

Li Lingling’s hand unconsciously tightened, as if truly holding the cold chimney, her knuckles turned white from exertion.

“I’m very small… my limbs are short and weak. My clothes are completely soaked…”

“I’m also very cold, cold enough to make my teeth chatter, trembling incessantly.”

While speaking, only Li Lingling’s voice trembled in truth, apart from her tightly clenched hand, her body was relaxed.

But through Li Lingling’s body, Nan Zhubin seed to truly see a little girl trembling in the rain-soaked night.

“I… my view is blocked by sothing.” Li Lingling said, “… It’s my hair, wet from the rain, sticking to my face.”

“But I’m afraid to brush it away, scared I’ll fall if I let go… scared Mom won’t be able to find when she cos back.”

It’s too detailed.

Nan Zhubin softly asked, intentionally probing the core issue: “Look around you, do you see anyone else?”

Surely there is.

Li Lingling’s body suddenly stiffened, her breath held.

After a while, she started with a sob, her voice hoarse and broken: “I see… Dad, Mom, and little brother, there are no shadows on them… it’s them!”

The genuine mory seems like an old film from the past, slipping through ti.

…

“Dad was always grasping Mom’s arm tightly. He was holding little brother in his arms, little brother was crying terribly, trembling all over. Dad urged Mom to leave, very firmly, not letting Mom get close to .”

Li Lingling’s hand unconsciously clenched again, this ti not grabbing the blanket, but reaching into the air.

“Mom struggled hard, her arm reddened from being pulled, still extending her hand towards …”

Tears rapidly accumulated in Li Lingling’s eyes, then fell.

“She wanted to co over, I also wanted to crawl over, but the roof was too slippery, the flood had reached my feet, one movent and I almost fell, could only hold the chimney tightly, fear stopping from letting go.”

“Dad saw I couldn’t make it over, grew more anxious, he pulled Mom hard, causing her to move farther from .”

“Dad dragged Mom away, Mom looked back at , Mom cried… she told to wait, not to let go, said… she’d call soone to get .”

“I wanted to respond to her, but my throat couldn’t make a sound, the rain was too heavy…”

“I could only nod vigorously.”

“Mom was dragged away by Dad, at first she’d look back at frequently, later… she didn’t, followed Dad and little brother into disappearance…”

Li Lingling’s voice also gradually lowered.

“What happened after that?” Nan Zhubin’s voice remained gentle, tily probing.

Li Lingling remained silent.

After a while, she uttered one word: “…Wait.”

“I… kept waiting.”

“I waited for a long ti, the rain never stopped, the wind didn’t calm.”

Li Lingling’s shoulders shrank in the blanket: “The surroundings grew colder, clothes soaked stuck to my skin, cold enough to make my teeth chatter, trembling incessantly. The roof tiles beca more slippery, the flood continued rising, already over my ankles, ice-cold.”

“I kept holding the chimney, afraid to let go, fearing I’d fall into the flood if I let go.”

“It’s very dark around, but there was thunder, lightning, occasionally lighting up the surroundings. So I could see the flood rise higher, so things occasionally washed up, bumping into .”

“I was terrified, closed my eyes not daring to look, but couldn’t help occasionally opening them, hoping to see Mom…”

Here Li Lingling paused.

“Later, I saw from afar a huge wave coming, very tall, heading towards the direction where Mom and Dad disappeared, with a loud noise.”

“After the wave, the surrounding water flow sped up, the roof began shaking. I held the chimney tightly in terror, trembling more fiercely, thinking I was about to get washed away too.”

“After the wave passed, the surroundings returned to the previous state, only the water flow intensified, the flood rose faster.”

“I was still alone, Mom and Dad didn’t co back. I continued waiting until night fell completely, so dark I couldn’t see hands in front of , only the storm kept going.”

“Later I couldn’t hold on, leaned against the chimney for a nap, awoke from the cold. I still held the chimney, waiting for Mom to pick up.”

Here, Li Lingling gradually cald down.

No more sobbing, no more bodily reactions.

“I don’t know how long I waited, until daylight, the rain lessened, distant voices could be heard.”

“I wanted to shout, but my throat couldn’t make loud sounds, only softly called ‘Mom,’ no one responded. Later soone found , picked up from the roof.”

…

The story ends here.

[Hypnosis] also almost concludes here.

But the digestion of the gains from [hypnosis] begins now.

Nan Zhubin took a deep breath: “Now, I will count from 1 to 5, with each number letting you awaken from the hypnotic state, when I count to 5 you’ll be fully awake, feeling refreshed, calm, returning to reality with the calm and strength from before.”

Nan Zhubin began the awakening process, with his middle finger placed against his thumb, ready.

“1—Gradually regain consciousness, feel the presence of the body, feel the support of the sofa;”

“2—You’re becoming more alert, able to hear surrounding sounds, sense the air’s temperature;”

“3—Move your fingers and toes, feel the strength of the body, feel muscle relaxation;”

“4—You’re about to awake, prepare, bring calm and strength;”

“5—Open your eyes, fully awake.”

With the final sentence, Nan Zhubin’s middle finger struck the palm, producing a crisp sound.

—Pa!

Li Lingling slowly opened her eyes, her gaze transitioning from dazed to clear.

“How do you feel?” Nan Zhubin handed over a cup of warm water, his tone gentle.

Li Lingling took the cup, drank a large gulp.

She first breathed deeply several tis, like a sleeper awakening, adapting to the real world.

After a while, Li Lingling nodded gently, her voice still a little hoarse, yet carrying an unprecedented peace.
