Let Me Draw a Card In the Infinite World - Chapter 76
Lin You held Fu Xiangxiang’s arm with a full face of sorrow: “What’s the situation! It’s just a performance, is it necessary to make it so thrilling? If I am guilty, please let the law punish me, and don’t let me suffer here. !”
Fu Xiangxiang is afraid of the back of her hand: “The rhythm of each mission is about different. This mission is in the background of the circus. The key plot is destined to follow the performance!”
Shu Ran shrugged: “Could it be that you thought you were here to watch the show?”
Lin You rolled his eyes at him: “I’m too lazy to care about you, just a little bit!”
Fortunately, everyone was okay. The trio of players made it through the robbery safely. Seeing that the progress bar on the arm screen had risen to (30/100), several people were also relieved.
Tonight’s performance appeared to the actors to have various problems, but there was nothing wrong with the audience’s perspective, so the performance continued smoothly. Soon came the finale-the magic show of the great magician Cheng Wei.
Many of the audience present listened to the famous name of Cheng Wei, so when the host introduced the magician Cheng Wei’s upcoming appearance, the applause was very warm.
Cheng Wei’s performance this time is his special skill-underwater escape.
Cheng Wei’s magic show is very classic. It is because of this show that he became famous and even appeared on TV.
In fact, in the eyes of Fu Xiangxiang, this magic show is not too special. They just shut the magician himself in a big box filled with water and locked his hands and feet with chains. After thirty seconds, the magic show The division will escape from the water tank and appear on the other side of the stage.
But in this era, it is quite exciting to see such a magic show on the spot.
The staff quickly set up the scene, and Cheng Wei, wearing a gorgeous tuxedo and a black top hat, appeared in the eyes of the public.
Cheng Wei first played a few tricks to invigorate the atmosphere, and it didn’t take long before he began to perform the highlight.
The transparent water tank for escape was two meters high and it was already filled with water. Several thick metal chains were welded to the metal frame of the water tank, just waiting for a big bundling show.
Cheng Wei took off his coat and politely, stepped on the wooden steps he had built, and walked to the top of the water tank, jumping in neatly, climbing the upper edge of the water tank with one hand, and waiting for the two assistants to lock his hands and feet firmly with metal chains. .
After getting ready, Cheng Wei’s assistants pushed the big water tank around the stage to let the audience appreciate how real this underwater cage is. Cheng Wei also struggled lightly from time to time, with a face on his face. With exaggerated panic and helplessness, the audience exclaimed again and again.
Rao knows that this kind of magic is just a trick. In the end, the magicians will escape from birth. But at such a close distance, the audience saw the water tank filled with water, the heavy chain, and the hanging on Cheng Wei’s face. The drops of water are clearly visible, and people can’t help but worry about him, and at the same time look forward to the next performance.
After completing the circle, the assistant placed the big water tank in the center of the stage and tightly covered the lid on the top of the water tank. With this lid, Cheng Wei’s head could not be exposed at all, and the whole person could only be submerged in the water.
The assistants quickly took a thick flannel and spread it on the water tank, and covered the big water tank tightly. The last scene the audience saw was Cheng Wei, who was completely immersed in the water, pretending to be slapped on the side of the water tank in horror. Transparent panel.
After the water tank was completely covered, in order to make the waiting time less boring, the host began to enthusiastically introduce Cheng Wei’s great achievements, what awards the show won, and it was very popular during overseas tours. The appetite of the audience.
Soon, the two-minute waiting time passed quickly, and then it was the moment to witness the miracle.
The spotlight above the stage walked downstream, and finally locked on the aisle beside the auditorium with the sound of dense drum beats. There was a side door leading to the backstage. After rehearsing countless times before, Cheng Wei would appear after escaping from the water tank. Here, give the audience a big surprise.
Unexpectedly, the situation this time was unexpected. The bright beam stayed on the side of the aisle for a long time, but the expected great magician never appeared.
The assistants in the center of the stage finally realized that something was wrong, and quickly raised their hands to uncover the flannel covering the water tank. At first glance, they screamed back and forth again and again.
The magician in the big water tank obviously failed to escape. The whole person was immersed in the water, his hands and feet were still locked tightly by chains, and his body went up and down as the water fluctuated slightly.
Just like the scene that the audience saw before covering the flannel, Cheng Wei faced the transparent panel on one side, spreading his hands and ten fingers, and staying in front of the panel in a flapping manner.
The difference is that this time, Cheng Wei did not pretend to be frightened, but was frozen in a grim and painful expression. His originally handsome facial features were distorted, his eyes were wide open, and his slightly enlarged pupils were completely out of focus. , His lips opened wide, as if trying to call for help, as if trying to breathe.
he died.
The audience who witnessed the whole process also yelled in horror, screaming one after another. Many audiences just wanted to escape from this horrible scene as soon as possible, and began to rush out of the door regardless, while the other part of the audience was so scared that their legs were soft. , Sat in a panic and couldn’t move.
Even the host who was accustomed to seeing big scenes was completely frightened, and the whole person fell to the ground, the microphone dropped to his hand, making a harsh noise.
The whole performance big tent was in a mess.
The three of Fu Xiangxiang standing on the sidelines were also shocked to see such a scene. They looked at the (40/100) progress bar on the screen of their arms and thought about the continuous accidents during the whole performance tonight. There is another kind of ” I can’t hide the feeling of powerlessness.
After the police arrived, the chaotic scene finally stopped.
The police investigated the scene efficiently and brought everyone in for questioning. They finally determined that this was an accidental death caused by a performance accident.
After the death of people, Chunguang Circus’ performance in Ningcheng was naturally unable to continue. The police ordered the circus to rectify and ban performances within a month, and they were not allowed to leave Ningcheng.
The Chunguang Circus has suffered a heavy loss. Not only did it lose such a living sign as Cheng Wei, but this kind of negative news must also seriously affect the circus’s reputation. Tickets that have been sold have to be returned one by one, but the rent of the venue and the salary of the staff have been reduced. You have to pay as usual. There was news from the hospital that the actor Liu Dong who fell from a high altitude had a fractured shoulder, a misaligned spine, and a broken knee. He needed to pay a large amount of medical expenses.
Lv Dongliang was about to lose his head almost overnight, and the whole circus was in low air pressure.
Fu Xiangxiang and the others secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The stage was too evil and the circus rectified and reformed. They can slowly investigate the truth. It is better to stay in the Maxim Hotel than to perform a dangerous performance on the stage.
It was three o’clock in the morning when I returned to the small room of the Maxim Hotel.
After Fu Xiangxiang and Lin You returned to the room, they lay their bodies on the bed.
After a long while, Lin You weakly shouted, “Xiangxiang, are you asleep?”
Fu Xiangxiang was not angry: “Where can I fall asleep so quickly?”
Lin You: “Hey, me too. In my heart, I’ve been struggling…”
Fu Xiangxiang originally thought that she was scared because of what happened at night, or was thinking about the plot like herself. Who knew that she had been entangled all the time, and couldn’t help being curious: “What are you entangled with?”
Lin You: “I’m wondering whether to remove my makeup. Let’s remove it. This room doesn’t even have a washbasin. We have to go to the public bathroom downstairs. I really don’t bother to run in the middle of the night; don’t remove it, face. The makeup on stage was too strong. I looked at it and found that although the cosmetics in the group are not three-free products, the unit price is not more than 100 yuan. If you don’t remove your makeup today, I’m afraid you will have acne tomorrow.
“Although we are in the mission world, the real me is not affected, but if I don’t wash it, I always feel uncomfortable!”
“Hey, I’m so worried!”
Fu Xiangxiang’s lips couldn’t help but twitched: “Ah, this, it’s really… entangled with you!”
Fu Xiangxiang didn’t think there was anything at all. When she said that, she also felt uncomfortable wearing a heavy makeup, so she sat up and said, “Go! Remove the makeup!”
Lin You’s entanglement attacked again: “Ah? Really go!”
Fu Xiangxiang lifted his chin and pointed to the third bed that was still empty in the room: “Feng Hui hasn’t come back yet, let’s find her by the way.”
“Yeah!” Lin You noticed that there was indeed no one in the room: “I remember Feng Hui went back to the hotel with the army, why didn’t he come back?”
The two instantly recalled how Feng Hui was hiding behind a clothes rack in the background, and looked at each other: This is indeed something wrong.
The hot water at Maxim’s Hotel is available for a limited time. There will be no hot water after ten o’clock in the evening. So they couldn’t take a bath right now, they only took a towel and facial cleanser and walked downstairs to the public bathroom.
Because they still had the desire to find Feng Hui in their hearts, the two of them walked all the way and looked around, and even went around in the public restroom at the end of the corridor. They didn’t see Feng Hui’s shadow at all.
They couldn’t find anyone, so they had to give up. The two of them swayed to the public bathroom downstairs, carefully removed their makeup and washed their faces. Only then did they feel a lot more comfortable on their skin, and then swayed to the room upstairs together.
When passing through a narrow and dark corridor and passing a certain room, Fu Xiangxiang suddenly stopped.
Lin You was so sleepy that he was fighting with eyelids, and looked back at her: “Why don’t you leave?”
Fu Xiangxiang gestured at her with a “hush” gesture, pointing to the door next to her.
Lin You immediately understood, and tiptoed to her side, the two pricked up their ears together and leaned close to the door to listen to the movement inside.
It was already late at night and everything was silent. The door panels of cheap hotels were obviously not good materials, and the sound insulation effect was worrying. They could vaguely hear the voices in the room when they leaned over.
Upon hearing this, Lin You immediately understood why Fu Xiangxiang would notice this room.
There was obviously a woman’s cry in the room. The sound was not loud, but there was obvious panic in the cry.
The woman was crying, and occasionally raised the volume and said a few words. Across the door panel, the details are not clear, only the intermittent words, such as “Three years ago…I knew…they revenge…” and so on.
Fu Xiangxiang raised his eyebrows in surprise.
