Chapter 8 08 at the hypnotism show

The hall was brightly lit and crowded with people.The central figure here is the hypnotist.Although he is short in stature and ugly in appearance, he is smiling, his face is flushed, and he is in high spirits.People kept smiling at him, applauding, and marveling at how inferior they were in front of him. He did wonders.He put one man to sleep, another man stiffened, a third with the back of his head on the edge of a chair and his heels on another chair. He twisted a tall, thin journalist into a Spiral.In a word, the devil knows how he did it. His influence on the ladies was especially strong.When they met his eyes, they were all out of their wits, like beaten flies.Ah, woman's nerves!How dull life in this world would be without them!

The hypnotist came up to me after having cast his spell on some people. I think your temperament is very susceptible to external influences. He said to me, you are so nervous and expressive. Would you like me to lull you to sleep? What's wrong with sleeping?All right, honey, try it.I sat down on a chair in the middle of the hall, and the hypnotist sat down on the chair directly opposite me, took my two hands, and stared at my poor eyes with his scary snake eyes. The audience surrounded us. Hush gentlemen!Shush! Quiet everyone we sat looking each other in the eye for a minute and two minutes I had goosebumps on my back and my heart was pounding but I just didn't want to sleep

We sat for another five minutes seven minutes He is not affected!Someone said, good!This man is amazing! We sat, our eyes met. I was not sleepy, not even dozing off. If I had been shown a copy of the minutes of the City Council or the Zemstvo, I would have fallen asleep.The audience began to whisper to each other, hehe sneered at the hypnotist who panicked, and began to blink, poor man!Who can be happy after a terrible defeat?Save him, gods, send Morpheus [Note: The Oneiroi in Greek mythology. 】Come and close my eyelids! He is not affected!The man said again, enough!Stop it!As I said long ago, this is all a trick of deception!

I listened to this friend's call and was just about to stand up. At this moment, I suddenly felt a foreign object in the palm of my hand. I activated my sense of touch and knew that the foreign object was a banknote.My own father is a doctor, and any doctor can tell the face value of banknotes just by touch.According to Darwin's theory, I inherited this lovely ability along with my father's various talents.I fumbled for a five-ruble note.After taking it out, I immediately fell asleep. That's right, hypnotist! Several doctors present all walked towards me, turned around around me, sniffed and sniffed, and said:

um, yes he fell asleep The hypnotist, elated with his success, waved his hands over my head again, and I, the sleeping man, began to walk about the hall. Let his arms freeze!someone suggested. Are you okay?Make his arms stiff! The hypnotist (not for the faint of heart!) then straightened my right arm and began to cast spells on it: rubbing, blowing, and slapping.My arm didn't listen.It dangles like a rag and just doesn't want to stiffen. Can't be straight!Wake him up, or you'll kill him See how thin and nervous he is At this time, my left hand felt another five-ruble note in the palm. The stimulus was transmitted from the left arm to the right arm through conditioned reflex, and that arm immediately became stiff.

Really good!You see, how straight and cold!Like the dead! Complete loss of pain sensation, body temperature drops, pulse weakens.The hypnotist reported. The doctors began to feel my pulse. Yes, the pulse is very thin.one of them said. Limbs are completely paralyzed, body temperature drops greatly However, how to explain this matter?asked a lady. A doctor shrugged meaningfully, sighed and said: We only have facts!Explain it, but unfortunately there is not yet. You have facts, but I have two five-rouble notes.Or mine is cheaper. For that I would like to thank the hypnotist.Explain, I can't use it.

Poor hypnotist!Why do you hang on to my cobra? Note: Hey, isn't this unreasonable?Isn't this too outrageous? I just figured out that the two five-ruble notes were not put into my hands by a hypnotist, but by my boss, Peter Fedoritch. I did this, he said, to test your character Cough, what the hell! Shame, bro, that's not good. I didn't expect that. But my family has sons and daughters, adults, wives and old mothers, besides, the current prices are so expensive It's not good that you still want to start your own newspaper. It's shameful that you always have tears in your eyes when you give generous speeches at luncheons. I thought you were an upright person.

I had no choice but to return the two five-rouble notes to him.what else can we do?Fame is more valuable than money. I'm not mad at you!The boss said, forget it, your nature is hard to change, but what about her!And she!really weird!She was as soft and pure as an almond cheese!so what?Even she can't resist the temptation of money!Why she fell asleep too! When my boss said she, he meant his wife Matriona.Nikolaevna
