Chapter 1158 Tonight Is a Trap

As he was talking, the loudspeaker on the boat announced the start of the magic show.

Shi Lei, who already knew the truth, no longer had any interest in this so-called "magic". He leaned on the side of the boat and looked at the distant shore. On the high Covado Mountain, the more than 30-meter-high Christ statue was covered by a hanging red cloth.

It was a cylindrical cloth that completely covered the four sides of the Christ statue. The Christ statue, which could be seen in almost every corner of Rio de Janeiro, could no longer be seen in the entire city.

Shi Lei curled his lips in boredom. This so-called magic must have been operated without the knowledge of the people of Rio de Janeiro. In other words, at this time, except for the people on this yacht, no one would know why the Christ statue was covered by a red cloth.

Shi Lei believed that at this moment, in this city, there must be many people who were inexplicably surprised. Everyone must be looking up, wanting to know what happened.

The noise was so loud that Shi Lei felt it was unreasonable. Until now, Shi Lei still didn't understand why Dark Night Eye was determined to take away the Christ statue. This thing was right there. If you want to study it, just go in and study it. Why do you have to take it away so ostentatiously? The risk is undoubtedly too great.

At this moment, all Shi Lei could hear was the noise of people on the boat. Everyone was talking loudly, wondering whether this magic trick would succeed.

And he also believed that there were hundreds of thousands of residents in this city who were talking about this matter.

After all, although it was late at night, for a metropolis like Rio de Janeiro, at least more than 10% of the residents and tourists were not asleep. The Christ statue was something that could be seen in any corner of the city. Those residents who saw this scene could not pretend that nothing had happened.

Even Shi Lei estimated that the local police had gone crazy at this moment. They must have rushed to the scene to find out who covered the eyes of the Christ statue and the sky with a red cloth.

The "magician" on the boat was counting down, and then, as his voice reached the last count, the red cloth was suddenly unveiled, and then everyone saw with their own eyes that the statue of Christ that originally stood on Mount Covado had indeed disappeared...

There was a sound of exclamation on the boat, and Shi Lei believed that the city of Rio was about to fall into madness at this moment. Not only would those who witnessed the disappearance of the statue of Christ go crazy, they would also use the phone to notify everyone they knew...

Phone?

No, everyone on the boat had their phones taken away, but it was impossible for everyone in this city to have their phones taken away. If the process of this "magic" could be recorded by the video footage, then what the Dark Night Eyes needed was to find a way to make all the recording equipment in this city ineffective.

This was simply impossible. No matter how powerful the Dark Night Eyes were, they would never be able to do this.

So, taking away Shi Lei's phone was obviously to cut off his connection with the outside world...

No, this was a conspiracy!

Shi Lei silently pulled his arm out of Alba's hand and took a step back without being noticed.

At this moment, he couldn't believe Alba at all, because he didn't know whether Alba was part of the conspiracy. Or to be more precise, he didn't know whether Alba was the promoter of the conspiracy or was also included in the conspiracy.

If it was the latter, although it was useless, it was a comfort to Shi Lei. And if it was the former, Shi Lei could only say that he was too careless!

Alba was unaware of this. She was just constantly observing the control room. She was thinking about how to enter the control room while Shi Lei and Ronaldo continued to gamble, so as to contact the organization.

The red cloth once again covered the position where the statue of Christ existed. The magician was still playing tricks. About two minutes later, the magician began to announce that he would change the statue of Christ back.

Then, like a conductor, he waved his arms, the red cloth fell to the ground, and the statue of Christ really appeared in everyone's eyes again.

The magic trick was not over yet. The magician said, "Now, I will rush to the statue of Christ and kneel down to it, because I am a devout Christian. Letting Christ disappear from this world for a minute is the greatest disrespect to Christ. I must go and repent!"

Everyone laughed naturally. Then, the magician jumped into the sea, scaring the people on the boat. They shouted one after another, but soon, their screams stopped.

Because, in the dark night sky, a beam of light hit, the black night was like a curtain, and a not very clear but basically recognizable projection appeared in front of everyone.

Everyone clearly saw that the magician just now had appeared on the top of the statue of Christ, and in the field of vision, there was also a small black shadow on the top of the real statue of Christ in the distance, like a nail stuck in Christ's head.

In the projection, the magician waved his hand, and everyone could see that the person on the top of the statue of Christ also waved his hand.

In the projection, the magician began to learn Michael Jackson's dance, and the man on top of the Christ statue, although not very clear, could be vaguely seen, and his movements were completely synchronized with the projection.

The magician waved his hands vigorously at the camera, spread his arms, jumped, and jumped from the top of the Christ statue.

In the distance, the small black shadow on the top of the Christ statue also jumped down.

Although this cannot completely prove that the projection is a live broadcast, it is already a magic with a high degree of completion.

Anyway, everyone actually understands that magic is fake. As long as the visual effect is shocking enough, who cares about the little part that can be regarded as a bug?

Among these people, only Shi Lei knows that this magic is not fake. The Christ statue has really been replaced. This magic is a real magic. The Dark Eye took advantage of this and stole the Christ statue that stood on the beach in Rio de Janeiro for nearly 90 years under everyone's noses.

Ronaldo turned around at this moment, walked towards Shi Lei and Alba with a smile, and said loudly: "This is really a shocking magic that is unparalleled in the world, isn't it?"

Shi Lei shrugged and said: "I'm afraid that explaining it to other people in this city will be a more shocking process. Especially the government and the police, and the sensation caused among the people."

Ronaldo laughed and said: "It's just a magic trick. I think those corrupt officials should understand this soon."

"I really want to know, Mr. Ronaldo manipulated such a world-shaking magic and prevented the people on the boat from taking pictures and recording, but how to prevent the residents of Rio from recording?"

Ronaldo raised his eyebrows and said: "Only places far enough away can find the flaws of the magic, and being in that city, there is no need to worry about this at all. Their filming will only prove to the world that all this is just a magic trick." After that, he walked straight to the stairs and waved to Shi Lei, indicating that Shi Lei should continue the gamble.

Shi Lei looked at Alba quietly beside him and said, "So, tonight was just a trap, a trap that made me lose contact with the world. Ronaldo already knew my identity."
