Chapter 51 - Dart (1/2)
Although he said that he saw him, it was just Su Min’s intuition.
Because he had become very familiar with Chen Su, he can now detect Chen Su by just detecting his presence.
Chen Su reached out and tapped his lips. He asked: “Do I look good?”
Su Min: “…………”
Haven’t yet seen his face so how would he know whether or not he looks good? Though inside he had always felt that Chen Su would be good looking.
Su Min wouldn’t admit to this nor would he tell Chen Su.
He turned his head and looked over at the clown magician shake his hand. He then stepped back and no longer looked at him.
With this trick being unsuccessful, would he try another one?
The audience were in panic. They still had not yet recovered from the shock from Zhou Qing Qing’s death. They all trembled in silence.
The four people in the front row were on a different level.
Li Chi Yu was still wondering, “Why hasn’t he pulled anything out yet? This magician is too unprofessional. I’m starting to doubt his skills.”
Le Ling: “Did you come here to watch a magic show?”
Hearing that, Li Chi Yu wilted, “Of course not! I just want to find a flaw in his magic!”
Le Ling said coldly: “Then you must be skilled.”
Li Chi Yu thought to himself: Even if he isn’t skilled, he would pretend to be skilled. How else would he be able to pursue his goddess?
Jiang Taozhi suddenly spoke up: “Look, he’s doing that action again. Is he going to choose the next person to die?”
The clown on stage turned the hat over and he redid his demonstration earlier. This time however he had his eyes fixed at the audience.
Su Min suspected that he was going to attempt it again.
Li Chi Yu acutely sensed that the clowns gaze was on him. He was afraid. “Will he pull me?”
Su Min finally couldn’t help but comment: “……….Stop using the word pull. It sounds strange.”
Li Chi Yu felt wronged: “But he is pulling something out.”
This magic involved the magician pulling animals from their hats.
The principle behind it was very simple. There are even several types. The simplest one involved putting the hat on the table and there would be a hole in the table that would allow the rabbit to come out from.
Others would hide the rabbit in the hat, and some would hide it under the table. By the time the hat is covered, it would give them an illusion of the rabbit being pulled out of the hat.
But this time, he felt that he was definitely not pulling a rabbit out. It was a dead person in the previous trick so it would likely be the same this time.
They had tried to call the police in the bus but there was no signal. They couldn’t even get online.
With Chen Su’s arrival, Su Min no longer paid attention to the magic show.
He felt an inexplicable sense of security. Although he no longer spoke to him, he could feel Chen Su sitting beside him.
Chen Su said: “That magician is too ugly.”
Su Min agreed but he said: “He can perform magic. Can you?”
Chen Su was a little angry. He didn’t know how to perform magic, but he would make others do it, “You want to watch?”
Su Min shook his head, “Not watching.”
After this incident, magic would probably leave a psychological shadow in him. Even if magic in reality is normal, he would associate it with this. This was the woe of having good memory.
The clown had already begun to put his hand into the hat. The atmosphere turned tense.
The audience started to whisper quietly. Most of them were praying in fear. Quotes from the Bible and the Book of Morality all appeared.
Su Min heard this and instead calmed down.
Li Chi Yu was very nervous: “It’s here, it’s here. He’s pulling something out.”
The moment his said this, the clowns hand came out from the hat. His movements were slow. There was something in his hand.
Su Min stared fixatedly at it. It looked like a sack.
The sack was long, and it looked very dirty. The clown wriggled it from side to side and it took more than a minute for the whole thing to come out.
At first, the audience didn’t understand.
Even Li Chi Yu was confused. He wondered: “What is this? It’s not harming people?
Although that was a good thing, it’s too abnormal.
Su Min even started to suspect it: “It’s that simple?”
His hand that was resting on his leg was touched. Chen Su wasn’t acting like a rogue like usual and said solemnly: “Look carefully.”
Su Min wanted to move that hand but was unsuccessful.
He could only direct his attention back to the stage. He watched the sack pulled out by the clown hang to the ground. It looked pretty heavy.
The clown raised his hand and the lights on the stage brightened a little.
Su Min could now finally see the thing in the clowns hand clearly. He could clearly see internal organs and facial features. What was held in the clowns hand was their hair.
It was a human.
Su Min almost retched. He carefully assessed the situation to figure out the tricks used by the clown.
A human was indeed pulled out of the hat.
But the human wasn’t complete. Its whole body was dried up and even the bones had shattered to the point that it merged with the skin. It looked like a piece of skin.
The clown magician excitedly showed it to the audience, but he didn’t hear the screams that he was anticipating.
Soon, he got angry.
He put on his hat and spread the skin apart with both hands. He then triumphantly displayed the result of his magic to everyone.
Li Chi Yu suddenly grabbed his arm and cried out: “This clown is so fucking perverted!”
There was mass chaos amongst the audience. There was non-stop screaming.
The audience that was selected by the clown was drained of blood, had their bones crushed and internal organs twisted to eventually become a piece of dried skin.
Su Min exhaled. He felt that the magic was only getting more and more dangerous.
Chen Su next to him however would whisper in his ears saying that he would hire a professional magician to specially perform for him.
