Returning to the room, Ye Shiyu's laptop was on, displaying the search page for the Inari search engine.
Brightly lit in the search bar was:
"hypnosis"
Ye Shiyu sat in front of the computer desk with a hot milk, gently hitting the enter key, and an explanation of the term popped up.
"Hypnosis: A special state of consciousness, similar to sleep but not sleep, induced by human manipulation..."
Since successfully hypnotizing Yan Huan yesterday, Ye Shiyu has become intensely curious about the effects of this on her phone.
She didn't really understand the concept of hypnotism before, only catching glimpses of its applications through the description in the app "Absolute obedience to oneself."
But upon further research, Ye Shiyu found that the hypnotism mentioned here and the hypnotism on her app seem vastly different.
Or perhaps, there is no technology in this world that can achieve this at all?
Ye Shiyu looked at her phone, opened that mysterious app, and the purple swirl rotated to display fantastical information,
[Remaining uses for this week: 1]
"..."
So, what exactly are you here for?
While thinking this, Ye Shiyu gently scrolled the mouse wheel, pulling the page down to browse the information.
"Hypnosis debunked: About the alienated hypnotism education"
"Psychological appointments for hypnotism"
"Hypnotism, a term mythologized"
The rest were all sorts of strange and slightly indecent resources, their titles immediately uninteresting to Ye Shiyu.
As she continued scrolling down, one page, two pages, suddenly a certain title caught Ye Shiyu's attention...
"Women's section: After hypnosis, the annoying stepbrother became my exclusive..."
The keyword "hypnosis" was highlighted in red.
Ye Shiyu's scrolling paused slightly, she blinked, leaned closer to the computer screen, a large curiosity shining in her black eyes.
She dragged the mouse toward that title, and due to the low sensitivity, the cursor appeared exceptionally clumsy on the screen.
Ye Shiyu was no computer expert, but at this moment, she moved the mouse with extra force.
"Click."
Clicking the title, the page went white, then immediately, dense, colorful ads assaulted her.
"Bookmark this site URL: www.XXX.com"
"Royal Casino, quality assurance, log in to get 888 chips..."
"Live female dealer..."
Ye Shiyu opened her mouth slightly, furrowed her brows, and struggled to close all these scam ads with the mouse.
A player began to buffer, apparently loading resources, displaying "Line 1" below.
Just as she waited, suddenly, a red browser warning popped up,
"Sensitive page detected, continuing to browse may lead to information leakage, Trojan viruses, and other risks."
"To protect your information security, please close the page immediately!"
Below were two options,
"Close Immediately"
"Ignore the risks, continue browsing"
Virus?!
Ye Shiyu was startled, just about to click "Close Immediately," but the player behind had already started playing after a brief loading.
First came a monologue, a low female voice began,
"My mother remarried, and her marriage partner brought a younger stepbrother."
"That guy and I, a gloomy otaku, couldn't be more different; he's a good student, super handsome, and well-mannered."
"As soon as I got home, I could feel it, all my mother and stepfather's attention had been stolen by him."
"Hey, learn from your brother... You are the elder sister, don't show attitude toward your brother... If you won't go out, I will take your brother out..."
"Ah, I understand, it's normal for such a child to be liked by adults..."
"But... why do I dislike him so much?"
"With that in mind, I used that on him... on that annoying brother..."
"I want to make him..."
Ye Shiyu's action to click close paused slightly, her eyes flickering, involuntarily recalling the scene at the shopping center earlier.
When she came down the stairs, she saw Ye Lan, tired from accompanying her to look for things, being made to laugh in just two sentences by Yan Huan...
Mother patting his head, despite her words containing chiding, couldn't stop smiling.
Compared to that, her own personality must seem quite odd, right?
Although mom often says it's fine to be who I am, won't she inevitably think the same when she sees the normal Yan Huan?
Then, shifting all her attention to him...
It's like...
He's stealing my mother from me.
Ye Shiyu's breathing grew a bit rapid, her hand holding the mouse drifted slightly to the right, eventually moving to the other option.
"Ignore the risks, continue browsing!"
The warning was dismissed, the page reentered, but there were still small ads hanging around like flags, moving with the page.
And the screen seemed to lag due to a slow internet connection, continually buffering.
Could it be that loading these ads has slowed down the internet?
Ye Shiyu, the computer novice, thought so.
She quickly dragged the heavy cursor toward the small ads.
There were two "X" on those ads, one was real for closing, the other was a "trap" that lures you to click into another link.
Fortunately, Ye Shiyu wasn't foolish, she got very close to the screen and through precise mouse control, managed to click the tiny close button.
One... two... three... four...
Repeatedly, tirelessly, after closing all the small ads located at the four corners of the page, she excitedly turned her attention back to the player.
But it was still loading.
"Playback stuttering? Try switching to another server."
Server?
Ye Shiyu stared blankly at the options below: Server 1, Server 2.
She clicked on Server 2.
Then, the page seemed to refresh.
And those four annoying little ads were also refreshed.
Watching the ads she had spent minutes closing pop back up on the computer screen, Ye Shiyu's lips uncontrollably pouted slightly.
"My mother remarried, her spouse brought along a younger stepbrother..."
Fortunately, after switching the server, the video in the player finally played smoothly.
She switched to full-screen mode, Ye Shiyu's eyes widened, watching the unfolding story.
As the narrative in the screen fluently moved along, the setup of the story and the intense scenes alternated, captivating Ye Shiyu's eyes,
as if, a door to a new world was opening up to her.
As the screen entered a passionate mode, her facial expression turned slightly pink.
She quickly glanced at the firmly closed room door behind her, then grabbed the headphone cable beside her and plugged it into the computer.
As the story progressed, Ye Shiyu found herself immersed without even realizing.
Until an unknown amount of time had passed, the screen gradually turned dark, and the female narrator's voice once again came through the headphones,
"Eventually, I used hypnosis to turn him into someone who could only call out 'sister', the lovely him is now mine."
"Though it might just be an excuse, I deceive myself over and over again with it in my heart."
"Hypnotism was invented just to fulfill my filthy desires, wasn't it?"
"I know this is despicable and revolting, but, I am very happy now."
"That's enough."
"The End"
Ye Shiyu's eyes widened, unable to recover for a long time.
This is... too despicable and indecent.
All I wanted was to drive him away, that's it.
And yet the sister in this movie... what she did to her brother?!
Although indeed, watching her sunny, handsome brother turn into that and emit those pathetic sounds...
No, no, that's just a fictitious story in the movie.
Ye Shiyu, you just need to drive him away...
You just need to drive him away.
Ye Shiyu gently leaned back in her chair, breathing lightly, her pale face showing an abnormal blush...
She felt a bit thirsty.
She stood up, turned around, and prepared to go downstairs to get some water.
During the duration of a movie, the lights in the house were all turned off, presumably everyone had gone to sleep.
Ye Shiyu filled several glasses of water from the purifier on the first floor, which significantly cooled her internal heat.
She sighed with relief, turned around, and filled another cup to take upstairs.
Walking up to the second floor, her gaze unavoidably fell towards Yan Huan's room.
The phone in her hand lit up again, casting a sinister purple glow...
Unknowingly, ever since she started using that app, she had become inseparable from her phone.
"..."
She hesitated for a moment, in the staircase, she eventually gently moved her steps towards Yan Huan's room.
Looking at the tightly closed room door, she gently raised her hand, preparing to knock.
But then she thought, he's probably asleep by now.
Thus, her hand landed back on the door handle.
Strange thoughts drove her to do strange things...
Regardless of where she was going, she had always knocked on doors first; it was a habit she had developed.
But now, she actually wanted to enter without knocking.
"Click..."
The door handle turned fully.
Inside, Yan Huan was deeply asleep, and Miao, held in his arms, suddenly opened its eyes, its green eyes starkly bright in the dimness.
"Meow~"
It meowed softly, while Yan Huan beside it remained motionless.
However, since Yan Huan had locked the door, pushing down the handle as much as she did on the outside yielded no response.
"..."
Holding the water glass, Ye Shiyu's body stiffened slightly, realizing she had gotten too excited.
She had actually...
Done such a thing?
She pursed her lips, finished the cool water in her glass in one gulp, took a deep breath, and let go of the door handle.
Then, she slowly turned around and went back to her own room.
"Meow?"
Miao blinked, watching the door handle return to its place, slowly laid back in Yan Huan's arms.
Without closing its eyes, it kept watching towards the direction of the door.
