At noon in the middle of a summer, in front of the outdoor basketball court in the side of Shanghai Central Hospital, there was a group of people gathered around to watch the excitement. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThese people looked to the side of the hospital building, where a flying basketball was stuck in an air conditioner on the third floor, and under the air conditioner, a young woman was crawling in that direction with her bare hands.

The girl was in her early twenties, climbing so high without climbing equipment to pick up a ball, and everyone on the scene sweated for her.

As an adult male, Ban Ying has a somewhat sissy name. He would have been among the onlookers, and he happened to know the girl in front of him, so he lived across the street from his house.

Compared with the other people around him who were taking pictures on their mobile phones and scarves, Ban Ying was not surprised by this situation and was not worried. This girl's name is Hua Li, she is a mountaineer and a member of a climbing club, and she likes to crawl around like a cockroach on the wall when she has nothing to do.

Her fingers are strong enough to hold small crevices in rocks, her arm muscles are strong enough to support her light body, and her waist and legs are strong enough for mountaineering activities.

During the entire onlooker process, Ban Ying's eyes kept on Hua Li's chest. Her boobs are a bit of a hindrance for rock climbing. Every time you put your body close to the wall, the criminal-sized breasts will be squeezed and violently deformed, which is very ornamental.

Five minutes later, the ball was taken down and the crowd dispersed. Ban Ying bumped into a neighbor and took the initiative to come over and wave hello.

Hua Li patted the dirty upper clothes, smiled at Ban Ying who greeted him and asked, "Little brother, why are you coming to the hospital?" ”

She is a year older than Ban Ying.

"Don't ask me yet, what about you, Sister Hua?" Ban Ying asked rhetorically, and then found a little girl standing behind Hua Li. This little girl is a common neighbor of the two, and she often needs to come to the hospital for examination if she is not in good health, it seems that the little girl's parents are not available today, so they asked Hua Li on vacation to help bring the child to the hospital.

The little girl has just started primary school this year. As soon as she saw Ban Ying, she immediately came over with a smile, pulled the big brother's sleeve and said in a cute tone: "Brother Ban Ying, give me a magic trick!" ”

Ban Ying is a magician, but he believes that he is about to face a considerable period of unemployment. In the last two days, he suddenly contracted a problem and often had auditory hallucinations. As soon as he concentrated, a voice in his ear would say to him, 'Go get that book, go get that book.'"

When this voice first appeared, he was performing at the largest performing arts bar in Shanghai City, assisted by a guest assistant to a celebrity host named Hui Hui.

As a result, as soon as the voice appeared, Ban Ying lost her mind, and a good magic trick was messed up, earning boos from the audience. The female star Hui Hui grabbed Ban Ying's collar backstage and complained to the heads of the circle, "Even this little magic trick is messed up, and the circle will not be round." Such a person is not worthy of the stage! ’

Obviously, the female star was really angry by this pig teammate.

The next day, Ban Ying received a lot of calls from work, and the organizations, events, and bars that originally planned to invite him to perform all made excuses and unilaterally ended the partnership. What's worse is that the auditory hallucinations in his ears are getting worse and worse, so he came to the central hospital early this morning to see a doctor. The doctor didn't find anything wrong with the examination and suggested that he go to the psychiatric department.

Ban Ying, who was deeply worried about her magic future, stared at the little girl in front of her helplessly, and sighed: "It seems that I can only do magic for children like you in the future." ”

Hua Li on the side smiled and pointed to the small vendor at the entrance of the hospital and said, "I also want to see magic, you can change one for me and Xiao Ai, and I will invite you to drink juice." "The little girl's full name is Huang Xinai.

"Okay." Ban Ying nodded, "But I'm going to drink the juice first, I'm thirsty." ”

Ban Ying used the straw that had drunk the juice to change a rope magic trick for the two ladies in front of her, one older and one younger. He put the rope in his pocket on the straw, folded it in half, and cut the straw and the rope in front of them. In the end, a complete unbroken rope was pulled out of the straw.

"Little brother, how did this change? I saw you cut the rope before! ”

There are many types of 'Broken Rope Restoration Magic', which are also very classic, and they are all simple tricks. Ban Ying smiled and shook her head, "It's boring to tell you how it changed." ”

The three of them ate ice cream bought from a stall and left the hospital in the direction of their home while chatting. On the way, Xiao Ai complained that the examination process was boring, Hua Li was amazed that the basketball patients could throw the ball to the third floor, and Ban Ying told her about her auditory hallucinations.

The community where the three of them live is quite old, with a building of 30 years old. Although it is not very comfortable to live in, the neighborhood is very good, and they are all old neighbors.

Ban Ying and Hua Li are sisters and brothers who grew up together in the same courtyard, and after the former sent Xiao Ai home, he invited the latter to sit at home, and by the way, he returned the books he borrowed from her before.

Ban Ying lives alone, and her father works outside. The house was very messy, it was full of expensive magic props, and Hua Li climbed the rock carefully, for fear of stepping on the strange objects scattered on the ground, and finally moved to a relatively spacious bedroom.

"Sister Hua, the book will be returned to you." Ban Ying casually grabbed a novel from under the bed and stuffed it to Hua Li. Hua Li heard about the auditory hallucinations on the way back, and was very interested, and planned to have a good chat about it.

"Auditory hallucinations......" Ban Ying was depressed when she mentioned this, "Actually, there is nothing to talk about......"

"Could it be a paranormal event?"

"Better not, I'd rather be a psychopath, I'm going to go to the psychiatric department tomorrow."

Hua Li would like to see the opposite result, she doesn't want her childhood sweetheart to have a problem with her brain.

"Little brother, can you hear that voice now? Since it's a human voice, can you recognize whose voice it is? ”

"Whose voice?" Ban Ying really didn't care about this. Based on previous experience, as soon as you focus on the mind, that voice will appear. "I'll give it a try." With that, he took out a deck of playing cards and began to practice a trick that he was not familiar with. Hua Li applauded on the side, and the voice came as scheduled.

'That book, go get that book'.

Before the change, Ban Ying would hysterically yell at the voice, "What kind of book is TMD!" But it would allow him to focus on the sound itself.

"This voice... Sounds like my dad's ......"

－－－

Ban Ying has no feelings for his father, he has often been left alone at home since he was a child, and it is the same now. The last time I saw my father was during the Spring Festival, and I didn't say a few words, and the relationship between father and son was already rusty. As for his mother, he hadn't seen it, and he didn't write it in the household registration book.

He didn't know why the auditory hallucination was similar to his father's, but if the two were related, the book he was asked to pick up had a clue in the voice.

Hua Li is an outsider to this family, and Ban Ying asks her away first after getting clues, and then begins to tidy up the messy room. It wasn't until the evening that he found the suitcase that his father had left behind from the pile of magic props. Inside the box, there was some yellowed, rough white paper, and nothing was written. In addition, there was an old fountain pen that could not write anything. Finally, an old European-style key appeared in front of me, and the shape of the handle of the key was that of an open book.

When she was a child, Ban Ying used to hear her father call this key 'this book'. At the time, he was puzzled as to why 'a key' was called 'this book', just as he was puzzled by the content of the words in the auditory hallucination.

Following the instructions in the auditory hallucination, he grabbed the key and held the book-shaped handle. Then he felt only darkness in front of him, followed by a dazzling rayof sunlight.

Dressed in a home T-shirt and shorts, Ban Ying appeared on a beach, like a tropical island on TV. At this point, he didn't associate this place with the prison at all, and he didn't realize that he had become the warden of the prison, the chief of the prison dedicated to magicians.
