Chapter 248: One Hundred Groups
The black-edged screen is held in place suspended by pitch-black ropes, making it visible to all spectators.
Countless magicians' names are slowly circling in the screen scattered with daylight like a bottomless whirlpool, stretching the names longer or shorter.
Ten seconds passed.
The name on the screen slowly fixes.
Ten lines of huge font are decorated with floating flowers, and the mysterious blue is extremely technological, like the blue liquid of flowing water flowing around each name, as if it came to life.
In front of each line of font, there are large and large characters trimmed from the same ten groups of words.
The list of each group is announced.
Chen Mu, Lin Yifeng, Zhang Shaowu and others looked up, waiting for their own rankings.
Not only them, but the other magic teams are also looking up, either expectantly, nervously, or waiting.
The long-awaited competition is officially here.
The first group of magician players is determined.
Allson, Forcles....... , ten magicians.
The second group of magician players was immediately decided.
Freyer, Garth, ...... , the ten magicians determined again.
Immediately after that, the third group, the fourth group,...... up to the tenth group.
However, Lin Yifeng didn't move, his gaze fixed on a name in the third line.
Chen Mu noticed the strangeness, raised his head, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
In the third group of magicians, there is a conspicuous name: Mars.
Lin Yifeng emphasized the people he wanted to leave to him.
Although I don't know what grievances there are between this Mars and Lin Yifeng, as the captain, Chen Mu will inevitably favor Lin Yifeng.
"Don't forget, this person, leave it to me!"
After a while, Lin Yifeng lowered his head slightly, and said in a hoarse voice.
"I won't rob you, don't worry. ”
Chen Mu grinned, made a big decision, and said.
The conversation between Chen Mu and Lin Yifeng did not attract the attention of others, and many magicians were staring at the names on it.
The first ten groups flipped through and opened, and there were no names of Chen Mu and others on them, all of them were magnesium countries, the United Kingdom, the cold country, and an unknown small country.
The screen opened again, and in the ranking of the twelfth group, Chen Mu's name was impressively listed.
Seeing this, Han Xinyue, who was in the front row of the audience, quietly turned on the computer, flipped through the recorded information, and searched for Chen Mu's opponent on the screen.
After a while, Han Xinyue's face still made people feel warm and turned off the computer, silently, and looked at it with a light smile.
Around, the foreign media and audiences who wanted to take this opportunity to spy on Chen Mu's strength were all frowning and clueless.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Shaowu, Lin Yifeng and others of the Huaxia team were all on the list.
Zhang Shaowu, twenty-first group.
Lin Yifeng, Group 33.
Han Jiajia, Group 56.
Hu Gu, Group 76.
Zhang Lingyu, Group 68.
1,000 people, 10 people in each group, and 100 groups were quickly distributed.
In order to ensure the speed of the competition, it is guaranteed to be carried out.
All five performance stages in the venue can be played at the same time.
Each group of matches is ranked, according to the ranking.
The 9th and 10th places in the group play the first match, and the rankings are random, but the competition system is based on similar rankings.
Instead, every fifth group of the competition is played at random.
When the ranking came to an end, the male host rolled up his sleeves, revealing his golden watch, walked out from behind the curtain, and said happily: "I found it!"
"As for your goddess Elizabeth Johnsally, don't think about it, just now I helped me find my watch, I ate a lot of dust, and went back to touch up my makeup. The male host waved his hand, showing the perfect excuse for himself to go on stage alone.
Elizabeth Johnselly, who was in the audience, smiled slightly, and immediately showed off her hand threateningly to the host on the stage, clenching it into a fist.
The male host still looked sunny as if he hadn't seen it, and he was happy that he didn't lose his watch.
"Now, we have invited our World Magic Competition, the profound judges and teachers, to play. ”
The male host waved his arm and sent an impassioned voice from his heart.
The five-seat performance stage, facing the position, in front of the audience, each has four seats emitted with blue light, cool and serious.
Twenty elderly men and women in full spirit, well-groomed and well-groomed in formal suits, Ying, Ename, Magnesium and other countries walked out of the entrance with gentle faces, separated from each other, walked to the position in front of their respective magic performance stage, and sat down.
Speaking of which, these judges are the predecessors of the magic industry, and the older judges among them have even witnessed the establishment of the World Magic Competition, from the beginning to the present, they have been accompanied, maintaining a fair attitude, not only strict, but also self-disciplined, and now let us welcome our respectable judges and teachers. ”
The corners of the male host's eyes were red, and he was even more excited as if he wanted to worship, and said with a loud voice.
"Wow~" in the audience, the audience in the front row suddenly got up, and there was a powerful sound, and with the beginning of the front row, the whole audience room came out with a fierce sound, which was exciting.
The twenty old judges who had just sat down got up again, turned back and saluted, smiling slightly, revealing a peaceful and gentle manner.
After introducing the judges and teachers on the stage, the male host raised his head sideways, pointed to the screen full of science and technology above his head, smiled mysteriously, and said slowly and fascinatingly: "Then, next, it's our exciting moment." ”
"Who will be lucky enough to win the 2017 World Magic Contest and be the first magician to perform?"
"Let's, wait and see, yes~!"
At the end of the speech, the male host shouted enthusiastically with passionate emotions.
"Woohoo!"
Wild shouts rang out from the audience.
"Bang!"
The light suddenly dimmed, and the inside and outside of the venue fell into darkness, but there was no panic in the audience.
On the screen, the blue ultra-dazzling lines on the edge of the venue swim non-stop like flexible fish, shuttling through the venue, outlining a picture of blue dazzling technology.
"Cool!"
Under the blue light, the audience with faint colors reflected in the sound of excitement is endless.
On the screen, a black and white picture flashed.
1992, United Kingdom.
A group of men and women dressed in formal suits, holding magic sticks and with pious faces walked down the street in black and white, with unstable ripples passing by from time to time.
They traveled long distances, nibbled on hard-to-swallow dry food, passed through the battlefields of war, and finally met with the government leaders who were rarely seen by ordinary people, but because of the deceptive nature of magic, it was rejected by the international community, and the group fell into a moment of confusion.
In the end, it was a tall and mighty fat businessman who was impressed by their attitude and tried his best to make a hundred times more effort for the formation of the World Magic Championship.
They succeeded, and in 1993 they crossed the coast and crossed the countries to form the World Magic Championship.
It was also from that year that the first Demon Emperor in the history of the World Magic Contest appeared.
The screen was changed again in 1994.
A tall figure hidden by a black cloak appeared, and at that time, no technology could spy on his face, and it was extremely mysterious.
From beginning to end, he behaved elegantly, like a scholar who was powerless.
However, his strength is extremely strong, and any magic game is just a matter of minutes in his eyes, he does not set up suspense, nor speaks, but uses the simplest way to create a magic trick that will never be solved.
He pressed step by step, easily defeated the First Demon Emperor who had just won the honor for a year, obtained the name of the Demon Emperor, and then disappeared.
In the next five years, he continued to appear, defeating many honorary magicians before the establishment of the World Magic Competition, and even defeated several unsigned Demon Emperors who were the most powerful at the time, suppressing an era.
At this time, the magician who never showed up received an eye-popping honor, a true magician.
In 2000, this magician who had never met did not appear, and was awarded the honor of Demon Emperor by a magician who was lucky.
In 2001, countless magicians who had once been famous gathered at the World Magic Competition to compete for honor.
In the following time, under the suppression of the mysterious magician, the defeated magician emerged continuously, and several unproven demon emperors who had been defeated by the mysterious magician were officially corrected in the time after his disappearance, however, there has always been a flaw in their heads, the demon emperor after being defeated by the mysterious demon emperor.
On the screen, the final battle of the World Magic Contest every year and the appearance and information of each demon emperor are flashing in a short flash, which is exciting.
Finally, on the screen, a line of English appears.
So, who is this year's Demon Emperor?
Suddenly, a small sound came from the thousand magicians in the audience.
It was a surging nervousness, and impulsiveness.
Chen Mu pouted his lips in the audience, he didn't feel anything about it, he was just curious about the magician who had won the championship for six consecutive years, what was he going to do if such a powerful magician didn't seek fame or profit?
Moreover, it seems that this figure is a little familiar, as if I have seen it somewhere.
Chen Mu dragged his chin with his hand, thinking secretly.
The screen suspended in mid-air rotated, and a hundred groups formed garbled characters, tumbling on the screen, and finally, slowly froze.
Five groups of magicians from the five current games appear on the screen.
Group 18, Group 22, Group 25, Group 56, Group 98.
Five groups of magicians appear.
Chen Mu sighed regretfully, just for a moment, his group paused for nearly 0.3 seconds, and he thought that his preliminary competition would end today!
It's a pity!
Chen Mu was helpless, compared like this, no wonder the previous games took so long.
"Sister Jiajia, the group of the competition has your group!" Zhang Lingyu's little hand held Han Jiajia's jade hand, her little face was red with excitement, looking at the name of the group on the screen, she shouted happily.
Zhang Shaowu and Lin Yifeng grinned, both of them were a little envious, the beginning of the group line is not difficult for them, so it is better to finish things as soon as possible, and now, both of them were defeated, among the six people, only Han Jiajia participated in the competition.
"Han Jiajia, or that, let's change our names, I'll go to the competition, you can rest!" Chen Mu walked up to Han Jiajia's side, blinked his eyes harmlessly, and said.
"Brother Chen Mu. Zhang Lingyu let go of Han Jiajia's arm, raised her cute big eyes, and Chen Mu's eyes widened, and she pouted and said.
"Xiao Lingyu, what's wrong, you have something to say. Chen Mu turned his head sideways, smiled slightly, and said.
Zhang Lingyu is the youngest, and they can't help but want to protect her and treat her as a pampered little sister.
Zhang Lingyu suddenly made a grimace, drooped his little face, and said, "It's shameful to be cute." ”
"Bang...."
In an instant, Chen Mu seemed to have been injured by the five thunderbolts.
Shameful for selling cute?
Chen Mu wanted to cry without tears, gritted his teeth fiercely at a naughty little girl who ran away behind Han Jiajia, and said, "You girl, who taught you?
Zhang Lingyu hid behind Han Jiajia, shook her head, and said: "Those who enter the red are red, and those who are close to the ink are black, of course I learned from you." ”
Chen Mu grinned, rolled up his sleeves, beckoned, smiled harmlessly, and said softly: "Come, Lingyu, go up to my brother here, come!"
Zhang Lingyu pursed her lips disdainfully, cautiously showed her head behind Han Jiajia, and said, "Brother Chen Mu, are you treating me as a fool?"
Chen Mumai took a step forward and said, "If you don't come, I'll pass!"
"Okay, what an adult, and playing with children. Han Jiajia looked at Chen Mu who was approaching, frowned, and said coldly.
Chen Mu's movements froze, and he was in his heart: "xhch...."
The conscience of heaven and earth, it is obvious that he has been bullied.
"As for the name change, as long as you don't think you're a fool, don't mention it!"
Han Jiajia took Zhang Lingyu's little hand and said lightly.
Chen Mu spread his hands helplessly, he just wanted Han Jiajia to relax, but he didn't expect that people's mentality was like an iceberg, and he didn't move, but he almost didn't freeze to death.
"Da Da Da!"
The sound of gentle footsteps came from afar, and gradually walked in.
Who?
Puzzled, the Huaxia team followed the prestige and saw an Asian man in a black suit and cowboy hat, dressed as a black and white vagrant, his leather boots on his feet sounding soft, but enough to attract the attention of others.
Who is this man?
Chen Mu blinked, looked up and down at the other party's outfit, and pulled the corners of his mouth, this is a magic competition, brother, it's not a suit cowboy competition, what are you going to do!
"You are Han Jiajia?"
The gaze of the visitor swept over Chen Mu, ignored others, and fell on Han Jiajia's body, a light of surprise flashed in his eyes, as if he didn't expect Han Jiajia to be so beautiful, and then asked.
Han Jiajia's cold eyes looked at him lightly, nodded, and said, "I am!"
"You look pretty good, I advise you to abstain, don't go up and be embarrassed!"
There was a slight disdain in the eyes of the people who came, and he turned his head sideways and said: "And you, just abstain from voting, how many people are there who come to Huaxia Kingdom every year to be embarrassed?"
Which pen is this?
Everyone looked at him in a daze, their faces gradually became ugly, and they were too deceitful!
"If you want me to abstain, then show your strength, otherwise, you will be the one who will be eliminated. ”
Han Jiajia's face did not change, everything was not in her heart, and she retorted lightly.
The visitor nodded and said, "I remember your words, my name is An Jiayi." ”
"I don't like remembering strangers' names. Han Jiajia looked away and said coldly.
An Jiayi's face froze, as if he didn't expect the other party to reject him like this, his face couldn't help but be gloomy, he snorted lightly, and then looked away and fell on Chen Mu.
"Your name is Chen Mu?" An Jiayi looked up at Chen Mu slightly and said coldly.
"Something?" asked with a grin on Chen Mu's face.
"You're crazy, this is not the place for you. An Jiayi said coldly.
Chen Mu was slightly surprised, turned his head sideways and said angrily: "I used your land for talking, what does it have to do with you?"
"I'm just here to warn you that it's best to give up the game now, otherwise don't look for your mother if you are bullied!" An Jiayi's face was gloomy, faintly darkened, and said with a sullen breath.
"Rest assured, rest assured. ”
Chen Mu said comfortingly: "Even you, a strange magician in a suit and a cowboy, can be here, and I can naturally do it." ”
An Jiayi's face turned completely black, glared at Chen Mu fiercely, and said in unskilled Huaxia language: "Bad pen." ”
"This is the character you have, I thought it was very noble!" Chen Mu pursed his lips and said with a slurp.
"Your end will be miserable. ”
After An Jiayi said a cruel word, she turned black and turned away.
"Hey, you're from the Cold Country!"
Chen Mu said loudly behind him.
"That's right, I'm from the Great Cold Nation. ”
An Jiayi turned around and said proudly.
"Oh!"
Chen Mu nodded suddenly, then grinned, and said honestly: "There is a Korean in my group, it seems that if you know him, let him prepare a return ticket as soon as possible, after all, time is running out!"
