Chapter 184 - A Hymn to Humanity 19
"Master Dior, I still don't understand what you're doing this. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info "Jacqueline tossed the remaining leaflets into the shredder.
"Do you mean magic shows?" Dior changed into the white suit on the flyer, preferring a tie, "because it's the most natural, and I have a hand in magic or something." Also, it doesn't really matter how you choose the method, so I just need to choose the one that I find interesting. ā
"No, I'm talking about Liao Xueqing. ā
Dior's tie froze, she frowned slightly, and turned her head to look at Jacqueline, looking slightly unhappy.
"Make it clear. ā
"You don't need her at all, you don't get anything out of doing this, it's not in line with your previous code of conduct, that's why I'm puzzled about this," Jacqueline checked the computer and opened the web page that Dior asked her to modify, "You didn't intend to pay for these things from the beginning, as long as you can achieve your goal, you can use any means." But this time, you uncharacteristically took out precious time to deal with Liao Xueqing's matter, which should not be considered a rational thing. ā
"Yes, it's not rational," Dior's expression softened after listening to her words, "Normally... To put it simply, I don't care about returns, and I certainly don't help her for any 'need', let alone risk "shielding a wanted criminal". It's just that this time things are not that simple, do you think that as long as I don't care about Liao Xueqing's affairs, she won't affect me?"
"Isn't it?"
"Big mistake. Zhu Yuanfang will definitely think that Liao Xueqing was "instigated" by me, although it is not all what he thinks, but whether it is or not, he will not sit idly by. Also, he has a good chance to see who is the boss with me, who has recently become famous and has been asking him for things. Regardless of whether Liao Xueqing was instigated by me or not, he would eventually call me to the royal family and tell me that Liao Xueqing had told him that "you are behind the scenes". This is the usual method used by many people, and if that happens, I will not be able to do anything but flee. I don't have a choice, I have to deal with Liao Xueqing's affairs, and I have to deal with it without leaking a word. If it weren't for the fact that Sixteen Nights was coming to me, I really don't know what I would do. ā
"And what about having them spend the night in the lab?"
Jacqueline immediately revealed the problem that Dio deliberately avoided.
"Is that hard to guess?" Dior sneered, "Of course, I want them to set off again 'the next day', in fact, that little girl Aiyi in Linyuan brought it over on the sixteenth night." Otherwise, how could she have found a lab? Can't you think about it? If you know what kind of person I am, you should know what I'm going to do. I won't be kind enough to answer such a stupid question next time. ā
ā... So what does all that mean to you?"
"It's a prop," Dior replied immediately, without even stopping the movement of his hands, "you can use it when you can use it, and if you can't use it, you can throw it away if it has no value." Your ideals, Craigwen's sworn allegiance, are worthless in my eyes. But you are useful, so I agreed. ā
"It's the same with Sixteen Nights?"
"I treat everyone equally, I can't listen to the order and get out of here, why should I stay if I can't stand my Dior?"
You'll regret it one day. She swallowed the words back to her throat, and there was no expression on her Kanban-style face. For the first time in her life, she's glad she's a "subhuman", and at least she's able to keep her feelings in check so that they don't explode at some point. She gathered all the information on the web page, and without calling Dior, she immediately came to a conclusion.
No one came up with an answer. Not to mention how many people are discussing who made such a mischievous puzzle, Dior's puzzle itself is not too difficult, and only needs to arrange the characters in some form to arrive at two Chinese characters. Those two Chinese characters were the answer, and Jacqueline didn't believe that 'no one came up with an answer', so she couldn't help but look at Dior again.
Does she know about such a result?
"Maybe you think I'm not sure of victory, that's of course," said Dio suddenly, "and whenever I'm thinking, you might think that I'm really thinking about what I'm missing." Unfortunately, as early as the first day of the gambling game, things already had a result. Magic tricks and helping Liao Xueqing are just my "self-satisfaction". If you have to ask for a reason, I'll tell you. ā
She ruffled her long hair from her sideburns and strode out of the lab.
"I wanted to do it, so I did it. It doesn't matter if I exclude all those who stand in my way, and achieve my goals, processes, and methods. By the way, I'll leave you with a little homework, and you can think about it yourself. If a mentally ill person knows that he has an incurable mental illness, knows all about it, and can even use it for his own use... Is he a "mentally ill person"?"
ā.....ā
"I am a psycho in this sick world. She said it again suddenly, and when she turned around, she disappeared in front of Jacqueline.
āāāā
"Folks of the Ming Empire, come and take a look! Don't miss it when you pass by! If you don't have money to hold a personal market, you can just watch the excitement if you have money. The British Empire's premier magician, "Dio Connor", is about to perform a free magic show!"
"It's really a rustic shout. Dior yawned and sat on the makeshift stage. Jacqueline's hired temporary worker doesn't give her much hope.
She looked down at the crowd that was gradually gathering, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, she slowly got up from the table, picked up the red cloth on the table, and bowed slightly to the people around her. With a shake of the red cloth, a white dove flew out from behind the red cloth and spread its wings into the sky. The lonely figure seems to be eager to go to a warm place, migratory birds are this kind of thing, where it is warm, it will run there. Scarce applause came, and Dior's eyes narrowed, and his eyes suddenly sharpened. She adjusted the volume of the microphone and spoke:
"Hey, friends, is there anyone willing to come up and cooperate with me themselves?"
In the Ming Empire, the so-called "magic" was not yet a popular thing, and most people's impression stayed on the impression of "juggling". They can't wait to debunk all the 'falsehood', but they don't necessarily realize that the 'truth' is the real 'scourge'. However, will he be cold, does he really have no talent for acting? Dior frowned. At this moment, someone in the crowd suddenly raised his hand.
"I'll come. ā
Looking at the voice, it was a relationship with Dior, Ah Zi of Tu Shanlou. She sniffed with the tip of her nose, then simply jumped onto the stage. Dior, who thought she was just an ordinary person, raised his eyebrows, and then smiled and said:
"That's not going to work, Miss Zi, we had a relationship, and the audience will doubt the authenticity of my magic, won't it?"
"Magic is just a kind of 'trick'," Ah Zi snorted coldly, "What's the matter? You won me last time, so you didn't dare to accept my challenge again this time?"
"It's a bit tricky. Dior pretended to be a little embarrassed.
"Friends, folks, this guy doesn't want me to expose her deception, so he refuses to let me perform with her, what do you think?!" Ah Zi turned around without hesitation and shouted to the crowd.
In response to her, there were some loud shouts, which gradually caused the crowd to collectively shout, and Rao Dior just wanted to plug his ears and leave this hellish place. However, there seem to be a lot of people who know Ah Zi among the human race, and her popularity in Nanjing doesn't seem to be low...
"Well, since the audience and friends agree, how could I not comply?" Dior grinned, spread his hand, and handed Ah Zi another microphone, "Please take a good look, this stage has no curtains, no baffles, and the bottom of the table can be seen clearly, and the only slightly larger props are these two blackboards." Ah Zi girl, you can check it first. ā
"Of course, check it out. ā
It was just an ordinary blackboard, she didn't have any magic props prepared, everything was new products that she had bought a few days ago, and there was still a clean plastic sheet left on the blackboard. She took out the poker and dice she had brought with her and placed them on the table one by one.
"How's it going, did you check out anything?"
ā... Not really," Zi frowned, "but I can't think of how you're going to do magic." ā
"So, let's start with the easiest," Dio closed his eyes, handed the poker to Ah Zi, and motioned to her to be happy, "Just take it as a warm-up, you can just say a few cards, I only look at the back of the cards, no matter how many cards you have, I will find them one by one, and even in the order you say, okay?"
The battle that belongs to her now begins.
