Chapter 118 Pie in the Sky
"Do you think this is impossible?" Riya shook her head, "This is magic, the real extraordinary means have not yet officially met you.♦♦ ♦♦"
As a magician, reaction speed and props are indispensable. These cards are also props prepared in advance. As long as you look at the tutorial more, you can learn it easily.
When others focus on the cards, no one pays attention to their pockets.
Riya took back the card and shuffled it several times, and let the audience guess a few rounds. When it was spread out again, there was still no blank card in the poker.
This was a huge temptation for the people of Zoramu Street who rarely saw the performance. They cheered more enthusiastically, and the investigators hidden in the group had to admit that the performance of the disordered was an art.
"It would be better if they were not sick." The investigator on the left said regretfully.
"Who would desperately perform memes if they were not sick?" Johnny refuted his words. He reminded his companions not to forget their mission, which was to interrupt the performance at a critical moment and capture the white mask cultists.
But there is also a problem.
That is, they don't know what the node of the performance of the disordered on the stage is.
The disordered attract the attention of the extraordinary through performance. When they accumulate to a certain extent and learn new abilities, the extraordinary will give them new memes. This node must be grasped accurately, otherwise it is easy to alarm the other party, or directly face the disordered after the upgrade.
Johnny's expression became more and more serious, and he almost suppressed the three investigators around him.
Riya on the stage was still performing, but soon he changed to another way of playing.
At this time, a wooden board perpendicular to the ground appeared on the stage. The wooden board was full of sharp metal spikes. A long nail was about one meter long, and Riya introduced to the audience that this was a very interesting game.
"Crack!"
He leaned back against the spikes and suddenly leaned back. The spikes instantly pierced him and hung him in front of the board.
In an instant, everyone burst into screams of fear. They all thought that the magician suddenly killed himself without caring about his life. In addition to them, there were also some people wrapped in cloth who watched this phenomenon with relish.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"
People were still shouting, in confusion, panic, and fear, and the sound could almost lift the top of the tent.
"Don't panic, I'm still alive, these are all magic effects."
Riya waved to the crowd while being pierced by the spikes.
It would have been fine if he didn't move, but when he moved, people shouted even more fiercely.
Riya was a little helpless. He took a deep breath and calmed the crowd for a long time before he calmed down the emotions. Then, he told everyone that true and false, real and fake, seeking death in life, and seeking life in death, this is the charm of magic itself.
"I wonder if any audience members will come up to perform. There will be money as a reward for those who dare to come on stage."
Riya sincerely invited everyone. He looked around the audience seats for a week, and finally, he set his sights on the person wrapped in cloth, and his eyes behind the lenses narrowed.
"I see you seem to want to try it."
The man stiffened for a moment, then slapped his thigh and laughed wildly: "Great! I haven't experienced the feeling of being pierced by nails yet."
"If you are willing to cooperate, I promise you will never forget it."
Riya watched the other party leave the audience and walk towards the stage under the gaze of everyone.
"Dong, Dong."
He approached the wooden board in the middle with spikes step by step, confirmed the hardness of the long spikes with his fingers, and found that it was actually real metal.
Suddenly, the man turned his head to look at Riya. He knew that the people around him had secretly made a move and replaced the fake props with real ones.
This is indeed amazing, but as believers of the White Mask Church, their purpose is not to be stupid enough to die.
In an instant, he almost didn't think about it, grabbed Riya's arm and pressed him hard on the pile of long nails.
"Puchi!!!"
The sound of flesh and blood being pierced came as expected, but this was not the sound of Riya's body. The moment Riya was caught, he directly grabbed the other party with his backhand and pierced the man through the nail wall.
The believer was right in one thing, that is, Riya did use real metal nails. He had rehearsed such magic in advance, and the nails were also a kind of retractable nail section.
When the switch was pressed, the metal of the second section would wrap the spikes of the first section. Of course, he could choose not to press it.
These things were also enough to penetrate any fragile skin texture and bones.
"Woo! Woo woo woo..."
The poor believer struggled on the nail wall for a few times, and then lowered his head to one side. What Riya didn't expect was that after this person died, many human-faced moth larvae actually crawled out of the gaps in the cloth, and quickly cocooned in front of him to prepare for molting.
Some larvae unfortunately fell to the ground, and were directly squeezed out of their backs by half a meter of semi-solid yellow pulp.
The scene should have been terribly quiet, but at this time it inexplicably became a carnival for all the white-masked believers.
They laughed loudly, laughing one after another with all kinds of weird sounds, as if they were really pleased by the death of their companions.
The believers' brain hormones were secreted crazily, making them so happy that they couldn't help but twitch.
"Something's wrong—"
The investigators became nervous and looked at Johnny for help. Johnny's aura made it hard for them to breathe. His chest rose and fell violently, as if he was on the verge of extreme anger.
"The believers here are more inhumane than I thought, and the disordered person on the stage is also very dangerous. We can't delay any longer, it's now."
--It's now!
As he said that, he took out a flare and ignited it directly, letting the flare explode into the sky, which attracted everyone's attention. People didn't know what he was doing, but the man in the white mask and Leah knew it very well.
Everyone's heart was almost raised to their throats, but Leah still explained calmly that it was all stage effects on the stage. Then, he took out a few pigeons from his hat as if he didn't think the scene was chaotic enough. Those pigeons "fluttered" to the top of the audience's heads and "banged".
They turned into coins falling from the air. While the crowd exclaimed at the miracle, they hurried to pick up the coins, and even compared who could pick up the most money.
The admission fee only required one swar, and some people would give more, but Leah chose to keep it temporarily. He would return all the money to everyone to make everyone's high spirits reach a peak.
When the coins were illuminated by the suddenly turned-on electric light, they shone brightly, which was surprisingly similar to gold falling from the sky.
People took them subconsciously, and even some members of the White Mask Church reached out to take them.
