Chapter 160: Magician's Sleight of Hand
Su Rui suppressed the pain in his nose and nodded heavily.
Zhang Yang changed the topic to a lighter one and said, "How is your roommate in there? Tell me about it."
His tone was as if he was talking about a new colleague, and he was clearly trying to be casual.
Su Rui also calmed down and said, "It's fine, but my roommates all call me Sister Su, which makes me sound old."
Of course she wouldn't say that ever since she dealt a heavy hand with Sun Mei, half of the female prisoners in the prison now called her Sister Su.
Even the serious criminals were respectful to her. No one knew her background and no one dared to offend her.
She leaves her cruelty to others, and her gentleness and innocence only to the man in front of her.
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "I definitely won't call you Sister Su like them. In my heart, you will always be the little girl who loves playing with sand."
Su Rui's heart felt warm. This was the feeling. Only in front of you could I find the purest self.
The two talked for a while, with Su Rui talking about his life in prison, and thirty minutes soon passed.
The prison guard reminded: "Visiting hours are over."
Zhang Yang grabbed Su Rui's hand again, blew a breath on her palm, and put her hands together again: "I have to go, let my warmth accompany you for a little while longer."
Su Rui only felt the warmth in her palms, and she clasped her hands together, as if she was afraid that the warmth in her palms would slip away too quickly.
She smiled sweetly and said, "Wasn't that breaking the prison rules? You're still with me after thirty minutes?"
The prison guard in charge of monitoring on the side had goose bumps due to the high sugar content in the air. He knocked on the door and reminded again: "Visiting time is over, it's time to go back."
Su Rui rolled her eyes at him unhappily, and blew a breath into Zhang Yang's palm: "Then let my warmth stay with you for a while."
The prison guard was completely silent.
……
After getting out of prison, it still takes an hour to take the subway back to City S.
Zhang Yang didn't waste any time and started checking the chat history of Xia Xueqi's fan club on his mobile phone to see what they were going to do on the set of "I'm the Best at Love" next week.
The action group now has 500 members. Deputy group leader Wang Hao has already initiated a round of recruitment to join the event, and there are actually over a hundred people who have signed up.
Wang Hao seemed to have said that they had nine groups. Adding up so many groups, the action team that would go there would have at least nine hundred people.
These people should all be Xia Xueqi's die-hard fans. Many of them are still lamenting that she has a boyfriend. There seems to be a strong sense of loser in these comments:
"I've been feeling really sad these past few days, but today I drank a cup of the milk tea she endorsed, and it seemed like the milky flavor wasn't as strong anymore."
"Qibao is now a married woman, so there's nothing to wish her well. Just buy a few more pairs of stockings that she endorses. She can at least earn some endorsement fees."
"I've been eating instant noodles for a month. On the day of the show, I'm going to give her live studio a sports car. I hope she won't have to ride that man's bicycle anymore."
Zhang Yang took screenshots of all these messy remarks. He planned to send them to Xia Xueqi later so that she could learn about her fans.
Of course, his main focus is on how they will act on that day, and many people still have disputes about this:
"I think it's better to forget it and not show that man. He's wearing a mask and I can still imagine it as myself."
"I am that man, thank you for coming upstairs.
"Come on, whose urine smell is that? Wake him up."
"Let's get back to the point. Qibao is our white moonlight. Now she has a boyfriend. What if this guy lets her down in the future?"
"What the above person said is right. The happier you are now, the sadder you will be when you break up. Just look at that guy playing ping-pong and Da Tiantian."
"Yes! We must help Qibao to guard this place! This man is hiding so deeply, he must be no good!"
"You kidnapped our Qibao, you are nothing in the first place!"
"I think we should send a group of people near the starting point, with a dozen cell phones filming. We won't be able to capture where the man came from."
"Catching people at the starting point? Will it ruin the show?"
"We are just filming, not arresting him. We will deploy dozens of people and catch him at the finish line after the show is over."
Zhang Yang fell into deep thought after watching these speeches. It seemed that there would be a lot of fans going to the scene, and there would be at least a thousand die-hard fans along the way.
Chen Ying had already sent him the schedule of the day's competition.
The competition starts at the S City Citizen Center. There are five game sessions along the way. After completing each game, you will receive important props to pass the next session. Finally, the show will end at the top of a nearby park mountain.
The end point is on the mountain, which means that he cannot get on the bus and leave directly at the end point. He can only walk out of the park and then take the bus.
The entire program is broadcast live outdoors, and there is no guarantee that if there is any security problem at any stage, he will be caught and have his mask removed and exposed to the public on the spot.
Even if he finished recording the show safely, he might be caught before getting into the car when he left.
So how can one enter the venue safely, record the show, and then leave safely in front of everyone?
I really can't think of a solution, but I can't miss the show.
Feeling bored, he randomly scrolled through short videos on his phone, but he swiped away most of the videos without finishing them. When he saw a magic short video, he suddenly stopped.
The video was quite long, but he was somewhat interested in magic, so he watched it all. It was a video that revealed how magicians perform teleportation.
At the beginning of the video, the magician talked to the audience in a babble, just to create an atmosphere, and then pulled over a big box.
In full view of everyone, he walked into the box, walked out, and walked into the box again. The door of the box was closed. He stretched out his hand from inside and waved goodbye to the audience, and then the lights dimmed.
In just a moment, when the lights came back on, the magician suddenly appeared behind the audience and the box on the stage became empty.
This magic trick looks very mysterious. Zhang Yang has seen it before, but he just doesn’t know how others do it.
Now he wanted to see how the magician did it.
It turned out that when the magician walked into the box for the second time, it was actually his stand-in who walked in, and the real magician had already left the stage using a sleight of hand.
The subsequent performances such as waving goodbye in the box are actually to buy time for the magician to walk to the back of the audience.
So that's how it is. The magic trick is meaningless once the secret is revealed.
He found the video boring and swiped away.
But his pupils shrank, and he soon thought of something. He swiped back to watch the video again and watched it carefully again.
Got it! Magic!
After searching for a needle in a haystack, it finally comes to you without any effort. Isn’t this the solution?
