Chapter 1160: Tonight is a trap
As he spoke, the sound of the ship's loudspeaker announcing the beginning of the magic had already begun.
Shi Lei, who already knew the truth, no longer had any interest in this so-called "magic", he leaned on the side of the ship, looking at the distant shore, on the high Crovadodo Mountain, the statue of Christ more than 30 meters high was covered by a hanging red cloth.
It was a cylindrical cloth that completely covered the entire perimeter of the statue of Christ, which used to be visible from almost every corner of the city of Rio de Janeiro.
Shi Lei pouted his lips boredly, this so-called magic trick must have been operated by the people of the entire Rio de Janeiro, that is to say, at this time, except for the people on this yacht, no one will know why the statue of Christ is covered by a red cloth.
Shi Lei believes that at this moment, in this city, there must be many people who are inexplicably surprised, and everyone must be looking up to see what is going on.
The movement is too big, Shi Lei only feels unreasonable, until now, Shi Lei doesn't understand, why the pupil of the dark night is determined to take away this Christ statue, this thing, it's there, if you want to study it, you can go in and study it, why do you have to get it away with such fanfare, this risk is undoubtedly too great.
At this moment, all Shi Lei could hear was the voices of the people on the boat, and everyone was talking loudly, wondering if this magic trick could succeed.
And he also believes that there are hundreds of thousands of residents in the city, all talking about it.
After all, although it is late at 12 o'clock, for a metropolis like Rio de Janeiro, at least 10 percent of the residents and tourists do not sleep, and the statue of Christ is something that can be seen in any corner of the city, and those who see it cannot be treated as if nothing happened.
Even, Shi Lei estimated that the local police were crazy at this time, and they must have rushed to the scene to find out who was blindfolded with a red cloth and blindfolded the statue of Christ.
The "magician" on the ship was counting down the seconds, and then, as his voice counted to the last sound, the red cloth was suddenly lifted, and then, with their own eyes, everyone saw with their own eyes that the statue of Christ that had originally stood on the hill of Covadodo was indeed gone......
There was an exclamation on the ship, and Shi Lei believed that the city of Rio was going to fall into madness at this moment. Not only do people who witnessed the disappearance of Christ go crazy, but they also call everyone they know......
Phone?
No, everyone on the ship has their phones taken away, but it is impossible for everyone in the city to have their phones taken away, and if this "magic" process may be recorded by the video footage of stealing beams and changing pillars, then what the Pupil of Night needs is to find a way to disable all the camera equipment in the city.
This is simply impossible, no matter how huge the energy of the Night Pupil is, they will definitely not be able to do this.
Then, taking away Shi Lei's mobile phone is obviously to cut off his contact with the outside world......
No, it's a conspiracy!
Shi Lei silently pulled out his arm from Alba's hand and took a step back imperceptibly.
At this moment, he couldn't trust Alba at all, because he didn't know if Alba was part of the conspiracy or not. Or more accurately, he didn't know if Alba was the promoter of the conspiracy, or if he was also being counted out by it.
If it is the latter, although it is useless, it is somewhat comforting to Shi Lei's psychology. And if it is the former, Shi Lei can only say that he is too careless!
Alba didn't realize this, she was just constantly observing the central control room, and she was thinking about how to enter the central control room while Shi Lei and Ronaldo continued to gamble for a while, so as to contact the organization.
The red cloth once again shrouded the place where the statue of Christ had existed, and the magician was still playing tricks, and after about two minutes, the magician began to announce that he would transform the statue of Christ back.
Then, like a conductor, he waved his arms, and the red cloth fell to the ground, and the image of Christ appeared in everyone's eyes again.
The magic was not over yet, and the magician said, "Now, I will at once go to the statue of Christ and bow down to him, for I am a devout Christian, and it is the greatest disrespect to Christ to make Christ disappear from this world for a minute." I have to go and repent!"
Naturally, everyone laughed, and then the magician jumped into the sea, frightening the people on board, who shouted one after another, but soon their screams ceased.
Because, in the dark night sky, a beam of light passed, and the black night was like a curtain, a projection that was not very clear, but basically recognizable, appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Everyone clearly saw that the magician just now had appeared above the head of the statue of Christ, and in the field of vision, on the real statue of Christ in the distance, there was also a small black shadow above his head, like a nail pierced into the head of Christ.
In the projection, the magician waved his hand, and you can see that the man above the head of the statue of Christ also waved his hand.
In the projection, the magician begins to learn the dance of Michael Jackson, and the figure above the head of the Christ statue, although not very clearly, can be vaguely seen, and the person's movements are perfectly synchronized with the projection.
The magician waved his hand vigorously at the camera, and with his arms outstretched, he leaped from the top of the statue of Christ.
And in the distance, the little black shadow above the head of the Christ statue also jumped down.
While this doesn't fully confirm that the projection is live, it's already a pretty well-done magic trick.
Anyway, everyone actually understands that magic is fake, and as long as the visuals are shocking enough, who cares about the little bit that can be considered a bug?
Among these people, only Shi Lei knew that this magic trick was not fake. The statue of Christ has really been replaced, this magic trick, it is a real magic, and the pupil of the night took advantage of this, and under everyone's noses, the statue of Christ that stood on the seashore of Rio de Janeiro for nearly 90 years was stolen.
Ronaldo turned around at this moment, smiled and walked towards Shi Lei and Alba, he said loudly: "This is really a shocking magic trick like no other in the world, isn't it?"
Shi Lei shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm afraid that explaining to other people in this city will be an even more shocking process." Especially the government and the police, as well as the sensation caused among the population. ”
Ronaldo laughed and said, "It's just a magic trick, and I think those rotten officials should soon understand this." ”
"I'm curious to know how Mr. Ronaldo has manipulated such a world-shattering magic trick to prevent the people on the ship from taking pictures, but how can he stop the residents of Rio from taking pictures?"
Ronaldo raised his eyebrows and said, "It's only possible to find a flaw in magic if you're far enough away, and there's no need to worry about that when you're in that city." Their shooting will only confirm to the world that all this is just a magic trick. With that, he walked straight to the stairs and waved at Shi Lei, signaling that Shi Lei should continue gambling.
Shi Lei quietly looked at Alba beside him, and said, "So, tonight is just a trap, a trap that makes me lose contact with this world." Ronaldo already knew who I was. ”
