Chapter 209

Oliver felt his hair stand on end in an instant. It was creepy to think about how there were people he knew nothing about scheming and trying to make him fall into a trap. Of course, this was not necessarily the case. Now, it was only a hazy hunch for Oliver.

“Sienna! Sienna…” Oliver stared at Sienna again and whispered, but the latter remained expressionless and indifferent and continued to ask him for cost estimates. This felt as if she had been brainwashed. At the thought of the word “brainwashed,” Oliver’s heart clenched. Sienna was this way, and so was Yancy, but Yancy’s situation was far more severe compared to Sienna’s. It was like Sienna’s mind was being controlled while Yancy’s was changed to a different one. “Brainwashed? Mind exchange?” Oliver seemed to have a vague idea, but it seemed that there was another layer of fog in his mind that made him uncertain of his guesses. “I saw a movie once. It was this film by that one director called… ‘Hypnosis Master’!” Oliver instantly remembered the term for someone who did things like this—the person was a hypnotist. When Oliver watched the movie, he felt horrible and scared but thought it was a nonsensical fictional story. Now that he recalled this, it felt like lightning flashed in his mind and lit it up with ideas. As for Sienna’s current condition, it seemed one could consider her to be “hypnotized.”

According to the explanation in the movie, hypnosis would usually require an object of focus, such as a swinging pendulum. The hypnotized person could be loaded with new memories or have a portion of their memories erased.

Suddenly, Oliver thought, “Yancy… Could her memories have been erased and then replaced with others’ memories?” Oliver instantly felt his face turn warm, and his heartbeat quickened. The more he thought about it, the more it felt like it was possible. Yet, “Hypnosis Master” was a movie, and he had never seen such a person in real life. Besides, Yancy’s situation only suggests that if she were truly hypnotized by someone, she was hypnotized by someone even more skilled than the lead hypnotist in the movie.

After her bout of confusion, Sienna seemed to become very tired and fell asleep on the bed shortly after.

Oliver inspected her again. The Book of Immortality’s aura was coursing through her body, but it found nothing peculiar, much like in the situation with Yancy. Oliver was sitting by the bedside and thinking silently, “This man is so horrible. If he set such a far-reaching malicious plan, targeting Yancy previously and now Sienna, does his plan include my parents and Joanna in the future?”

Oliver immediately broke into a cold sweat. He took out his phone and called Fabian, asking the latter to arrange for personnel to protect his family. He also told Fabian not to arrange for personnel to act alone. It did not matter to Oliver if he earned less money for the time being.

Fabian had never seen Oliver tell him something in such a grim and serious way, so he quickly agreed.

Putting down the phone, Oliver still felt uneasy. He did not know how Wayne’s and Simon’s search for Howard was going. Hence, he wanted to give them a call, but he was also worried that calling them suddenly would disturb them.

Although Oliver had never done scouting or spy work, he knew that there were often such episodes in movies. In the midst of danger, the hidden secret agent would unexpectedly get exposed due to the ringing of his mobile phone.

Although such a low-level mistake was unlikely to occur with a real agent, he did not dare deny that there was no possibility of such, so he dared not call or send a
