Chapter 1149: Another Ji Minghui
Editor: Henyee Translations
Mutant…
The term was unfamiliar to her, yet related knowledge surfaced in Gu Yang’s mind.
She seemed to have some familiarity with these concepts.
“Aren’t you a mutant?” In Gu Yang’s experience, ordinary people rarely knew about the existence of mutants.
Ji Minghui smiled and replied, “I’m not, but my son is. Unfortunately, he isn’t a mental-type mutant. Otherwise, he would definitely excel academically.”
...He then began to share stories about his son, who specialized in two fields of medicine. While there was a hint of disdain in his tone, he couldn’t hide the pride he felt as a father.
Suddenly, he pulled out a card for Gu Yang to see.
It featured a golden illusion of a Fraser spiral.
The circular arc of the Fraser spiral appeared to rotate, creating the illusion of movement, but it was actually made up of concentric circles.
Though Gu Yang had relaxed her mind, she still found it difficult to enter a hypnotic state. To overcome this, Ji Minghui decided to catch her off guard.
As it turned out, this approach proved effective.
After numerous hypnosis sessions, Ji Minghui had noticed that Gu Yang found it easier to enter hypnosis with static visual aids than with dynamic ones.

This scene was too familiar to Gu Yang.
She recalled the red packet that “Ji Minghui” had given her, adorned with numerous golden illusions of Fraser’s spiral.
After emerging from hypnosis, Ji Minghui asked, “Did you remember anything?”
Gu Yang nodded but looked at him with a complicated expression.
In her fragmented memories, “Ji Minghui” and the Ji Minghui before her seemed to blur the lines of reality. The only distinction was that “Ji Minghui” possessed an exceptionally strong mental strength, likely at the SSS-rank level.
If it were merely a resemblance, it could be dismissed as coincidence.
However, if their appearances and identities aligned so closely, it suggested a more sinister possibility: that person had replaced the real Ji Minghui.
“Do you remember the person who looks like me? What’s his name?” Ji Minghui inquired.
“Ji Minghui,” Gu Yang replied.
Ji Minghui appeared taken aback.
“He’s the second master of the Ji family in the capital, the director of the capital’s mental hospital, and a member of both the Psychology Society and the Society of Mental Disorders.”
With each word Gu Yang spoke, Ji Minghui’s expression grew increasingly serious.
Regardless of whether this doppelgänger had actually appeared, the fact that he had usurped his identity indicated malicious intent.
Gu Yang reminded him, “His mental strength is very strong; he might be at the SSS level.”
“Impossible,” Ji Minghui replied. “There are no SSS-class hypnotists.”
“That’s just the official statistics. I’m an SSS-grade hypnotist,” Gu Yang stated firmly.
Ji Minghui looked surprised. “No wonder. Is this a memory you uncovered?”
He had never heard Gu Yang mention being a Mutant before.
Gu Yang nodded. “I suggest you strengthen your security, ideally with a Mutant. If that person wants to replace you, he may try to harm you.”
Ji Minghui smiled bitterly. “Even ordinary Mutants might not be able to defend against an SSS-level hypnotist.”
Gu Yang fell silent.
It was true: once she was hypnotized, all her strength would be stripped away.
“If you find that person, you can contact me. I can help,” she offered.
As an SSS hypnotist herself, Gu Yang knew the reasons she had been vulnerable before. Firstly, she hadn’t fully developed her abilities, and secondly, she had trusted him too much.
She had always been discerning in her choices of people, viewing him as both a teacher and a friend. In their interactions, she had never suspected any ill intentions. The betrayal had taken her by surprise.
It could only be said that while her skills were solid, that person’s acting was exceptional.
Ji Minghui gave a bitter smile. “If there’s a chance.”
The enemy lurked in the shadows while she was in the light. The other party’s mental strength was so formidable that it left no room for caution.
Even if Gu Yang could confront that individual, Ji Minghui might not have time to seek help when they crossed paths. Furthermore, Gu Yang couldn’t always be there to protect him.
