Chapter 217 People Can Be Tamed

Humans can be domesticated.

Stockholm Syndrome is the best example.

When a girl is imprisoned by kidnappers, in an isolated environment, she is constantly attacked by danger, abused and raped wantonly... When all these fears exceed the limit that she can bear, then, the survival of human beings Her instinct would make her gradually give up struggling and resisting, and hand over everything about herself to the kidnapper in exchange for maximum safety.

She would identify with, attach to, and adore the kidnapper.

No matter how tyrannical and brutal he is.

Everything in her life is involuntary, every mouthful of water she drinks, every mouthful of food she eats, every piece of clothing she wears, even the light she sees when she opens her eyes every day, every breath... is a gift from the kidnappers.

Her fear will turn into gratitude to him, and she will fall in love with him subconsciously, no matter how he treats her.

The most terrifying thing about this kind of mental illness is that even if she is rescued and escaped from the terrifying cage, she will never forget the kidnapper, and even return to him like a moth to a flame.

Li Lei looked at the line-by-line instructions on the computer screen, recalling what happened in the past two days. Xiaoling was usually fine, but this time she had an emotional breakdown in the dark and closed trap, where it was like a basement where prisoners were imprisoned. And when she broke down emotionally, she cried out with a sobbing voice: Ziheng, don't punish me, Ziheng, don't go...

In other words, she had been hurt by Pei Ziheng a lot, but she still couldn't forget him.

Could this be Stockholm Syndrome?

Li Lei called Jamu.

On the other end of the phone, Jie Miao was half asleep and half awake. After hearing Li Lei's question, he regained his energy immediately: "I think there is something wrong with your Xiaoling. When you say Stockholm Syndrome, it really looks like it. But , This kind of symptom usually occurs after being imprisoned for a long time, threatened with life, or sexually assaulted, your Xiao Ling's resume is too clean, and there are no such messy things."

Li Lei frowned: "Could it be because Pei Ziheng held her hostage last time and made her dumb?"

Jamie said: "Such a short period of time is theoretically impossible. Taking a step back, even if the symptoms occurred in such a short period of time, it is impossible to last that long. If Xiaoling's current symptoms are Stockholm Syndrome , must have experienced longer and more serious captivity and abuse."

"How long and how serious is it?" Li Lei asked softly.

Jamie pondered for a moment: "This varies from person to person, so it's hard to say."

"One year, is it possible?"

"For vulnerable girls, one year is enough time."

After chatting for a few more words, Li Lei hung up the phone.

It would not be surprising if Xiaoling's symptoms were placed on the dead queen Xia Ling. However, the queen Xia Ling is already dead, why does Xiao Ling sing like her and have symptoms like her?

She will never be possessed by Xia Ling's soul.

Li Lei shook his head, shaking off the ridiculous thought in his mind.

Jamieu's last words before hanging up the phone echoed in his ears: "If your little Ling really has Stockholm Syndrome, you should be glad that she is still with you. You must not let her go back to find Pei Ziheng. Once she's gone, she may never come back."

damn it.

He slammed his fist on the table again, blood oozing from the injured phalanx again.

When Xia Ling woke up, it was the morning of the next day.

She stood up from the soft duvet and felt a pain all over her body, like it was falling apart. Some secret part of her body felt like it had been torn apart. The slightest movement made her gasp in pain. Being human in two lives, subconsciously, she realized what was going on, stumbled out of bed, and came to a floor-to-ceiling mirror.

The girl in the mirror was pale, with a few ambiguous red marks on her neck and chest, which was a mess.

There was a "hum" in her head, what's going on, who violated her body? !

She tried desperately to think back, but her memory was blank. She only remembered that she was tricked into a dark trap by Li Xiaoxing yesterday, and she had no memory of anything after that... This was Li Lei's room. How did she get back? Where is Li Lei? Where is he?

There was a noise near the bedroom door.

She turned her head and saw Li Lei standing by the door, looking at her with a pair of dark eyes.

She was naked and was invisible to his gaze. In embarrassment, she pulled the towel next to the floor-length mirror to cover herself and scolded: "Get out!"

Li Lei didn't move.

"Don't stand here barefoot, the ground is cold."

His calm tone made her even more annoyed, she looked at him, her voice trembling with anger: "Li Lei! What did you do to me yesterday?!"

A white bath towel covered her chest, and a red mark on her collarbone was clearly visible.

Li Lei's eyes darkened a bit, and his voice was hoarse: "I will take responsibility for you."

It really was him!

"Responsible?" Xia Ling was sad and angry, and laughed angrily, "Why do you have to be responsible for me? What qualifications do you have?! You...you take advantage of others' danger! What's the difference between you and a beast?!" She thought that he was different, at least he would respect her, watch over her carefully, and prevent her from suffering any harm.

That's why she wants to be with him, he makes her feel safe.

But now, this sense of security is shattered.

It turned out that he was the same as Pei Ziheng, who could abuse her unscrupulously for his own desires.

Li Lei didn't expect that she would say such words. "Xiao Ling," he took a few steps forward, "You don't remember what happened yesterday? You were the one who hugged me yesterday, and you didn't let me go."

"Don't come here!" She stepped back vigilantly, the tearing pain inside her body dragged her, and she was forced to hold on to the floor-to-ceiling mirror to barely stand still, "Li Lei, don't tell these lies, how could I hug you on my own initiative? ?" Even when she was unconscious, she didn't believe that she would do such a thing. No one knew how much she was afraid of the relationship between men and women. Under Pei Ziheng's insane torture in the last year, such a thing... never Can't give her a little joy. happy.

It just makes her feel scared and wants to run away.

"I will definitely not accept you," Xia Ling shook her head and looked at him with hurt eyes, "Li Lei, don't lie to me, even if I forget what happened yesterday, it doesn't mean I don't know what kind of person I am. people!"

Li Lei's expression became uglier than her.

She was right, the person who was accepted was indeed not Li Lei.

From beginning to end, she was calling Pei Ziheng's name.

What man can stand it? ! If his experience like this were told outside, I'm afraid if he killed her, many people would applaud and say it was a good kill! Li Lei's anger boiled in his chest. Ever since he was a child, he has been a proud man of heaven. He has never suffered such injustice and humiliation!
