4213 The Other Side 182

As the name suggested, a superficial fever takes into account only the surface temperature of the forehead or armpit. Measured this way, her temperature was definitely above normal. However, the temperature of the tongue was within the normal range.

Therefore, a fever on the surface of the body was definitely an abnormal occurrence. This temperature was not normal at all. Which meant there was absolutely nothing wrong with her physiological temperature.

A superficial fever is mainly caused by a lack of vital energy and blood. The lack of vital energy and blood causes the metabolism in the blood to slow down. The low temperature caused the blood vessels to contract, and the ability of blood to flow back gradually weakens. At the same time, it could also be because of sub-optimal blood circulation in the brain. They also suspected that it was due to excessive fatigue or excessive toxins in the body. In other words, poor quality of sleep was the main reason.

"Was she not sleeping well?"

The actor said, "I lied to her about losing the crystal ball. I could tell she was depressed. She usually sleeps with it in her arms, so I suspect there's something definitely wrong with it."

Because he suspected there was something wrong with the crystal ball, Hua Jin wanted to hand it over to Alice to examine.

Alice took the crystal ball, studied it, and came to a conclusion. "My guess is that this crystal ball may be the main cause of her fever."

"Why do you say that?"

"It's just a theory of mine. But, I suppose, if there are no other reasons, it's plausible enough."

"What do you mean?"

"According to you, she usually sleeps holding the crystal ball. But these few days, you've hidden the object away from her, right?"

The actor nodded.

"In that case, my guess is that the other personality created a psychological cue for the primary personality. This cue would have been guided by the use of the crystal ball as a prop. The crystal ball is an important prop for hypnosis. Given this, perhaps Natalia's primary personality must have been under the control of the secondary personality, who used the crystal ball to control her."

Hua Jin sucked his breath in sharply at that, horrified at the thought. He suddenly recalled that he'd had a memory gap some time ago. Initially, he did not notice anything unusual. He thought that he must have been too tired. Perhaps his memory was worsening as he aged. However, he thought through it again carefully. He'd always had a good memory, especially when it came to memorizing scripts. He'd always memorized them quickly and easily.

It wasn't until he discovered the crystal ball in Natalia's room that he began to wonder if he'd been hypnotized by it. For some reason, he could vaguely see another Natalia in her. Sometimes, he would find the girl both strange and familiar. He felt that he had seen her somewhere before, but he just could not think where. It was as though he had amnesia.

Alice suddenly came to a conclusion. "My guess is that Natalia's alter ego had made an appearance before this. That alter ego might have known hypnosis and had hypnotized you, so that some of your memories have been erased."

"Hypnosis?!" Yun Shishi was immediately tensed when she heard this. "What are the symptoms after hypnosis?"

"Some people pass out. Others feel exhausted and want to sleep, and sleep so deeply that they have trouble waking up."
