“I’m indeed telling you the truth, but that doesn’t really matter. Anyway, there is something I want to ask you. Is a hypnotist capable of causing chest pain to their target?” Toby asked, staring at Kurtis.

Kurtis responded with a low hum. “Would you mind telling me more about it, President Fuller?”

“Sure.” Toby nodded. “I believe you can still remember how I described my fiancée to you, as well as the promises I made that I would protect and love her, right?”

“Of course!” Kurtis nodded.

 

Toby’s face darkened. “Here is what happened. In the past two days, I realized I felt intense chest pain when I didn’t do as I promised.”

“I see. Well, that was indeed a hypnotist’s doing, but I want you to know that the pain you felt wasn’t real. In fact, it was more like a psychological pain,” Kurtis looked at him and replied.

“A psychological pain…” Toby looked down in a preoccupied manner. “So, you’re saying the pain that I felt was caused by my mind and subconsciousness?”

“Exactly. Hypnotists may be good with what they do, but they are no gods, which makes it impossible for them to control anyone’s pain reception. In fact, this is one of the ways to hypnotize a person, and it’s called the ideomotor phenomenon, which only works on your mental consciousness. In your case, whoever did this to you just wants you to love your fiancée. If you don’t do as instructed, you will suffer from intense chest pain.”
