Alexander said, “If we can show her the experiment is doomed to fail, she might change her mind.” Austin shook his head. “Well,
you may be right, but how are we going to do that? We can’t take over the experiment, can we? Unless she sees it, a suspicious
person like her will never believe it.”
Dominic nodded repeatedly. Based on his conversation with Yasmin, he could tell how stubborn she was, even though she might
waver sometimes. That was why it was difficult to persuade her.
“That’s what we have to do—conduct the experiment!” Alexander said, “Let’s show her how it’ll fail.”
Austin was bewildered, but Mike had an inkling of what Alexander meant.
If they could perform hypnosis on Yasmin the way Rhea did to Ross and stage the experiment, they might be able to mislead her
into thinking it had failed.
“No, no, no! That won’t work.” Austin shook his head. “What about Mike and Prince Ross? Since the hypnosis failed on them, it
shows it doesn’t work.
Besides, we won’t even have a chance to meet Queen Yasmin. How are we going to hypnotize her?” He did not think the
method would work at all.
Dominic said, “I think it’s worth a shot.”
“Uncle Dom?” Austin looked at him, puzzled.
Dominic sat forward and cleared his throat. “There were successful cases before, so hypnosis is feasible. Of course, controlling
a person’s mind using hypnosis has never been done before.”
He glanced meaningfully at Mike, the man Rhea had failed to control.
After a pause, the old man continued, “However, it’s possible to manipulate Her Majesty’s consciousness into believing what she
sees is real by entering her dream.”
Austin had heard of this before, but having not done related academic research before, he did not know much about it. He
blinked, somewhat skeptical. “Are you sure? What if she wakes up halfway and pretends to be hypnotized like Mike did?”
Dominic patiently explained, “As I said, we’re to manipulate her senses but not her mind. As long as you don’t try to control it, the
chances of her waking up aren’t high.” Rhea’s experiment failed because she placed too much hope on the drug, thinking it
could control a person’s mind with the help of hypnosis. However, Rhea failed to manipulate Mike because he was obsessed
with saving his son.
Therefore, the man managed to catch what she was doing and guarded against her. Dominic’s idea differed. His suggestion was
to perform the R10 experiment inside the queen’s dream through ordinary hypnosis.
