26. Weird hypnosis
As soon as Song Yiqiao entered, the chaotic noise and music in his ears filled the entire spacious theater, and the colorful lights laid down from the top of the head were dazzling. All sorts of props have been placed on it, and people are continuing to adjust the lighting. Perhaps to get on good terms with the media, she sat on the left side of the first row, just a few steps from the stage.
Sophia and Payne both sat in the second row with their companions and said hello with a smile when they saw her.
"Hey, you really didn't bring a companion?"
“……”
She silently put down her hand to say hello, and the whole person was not good, causing several colleagues to laugh out loud.
O these wicked people.
After another upbeat song, a man in a tuxedo appears. His hair seemed to have been smeared with a lot of wax, smooth and shiny, and it was very eye-catching under the refraction of the light.
"Ladies and gentlemen!" His voice was high and loud, and he made a funny gesture as he spoke, and there was a burst of laughter in the room, "Rub your eyes!" Believe me, the rest of the time will make you suspicious of all the people around you! ”
As soon as he appeared, the atmosphere of the theater seemed to be the beginning of a circus performance, and the audience couldn't help but laugh.
"Then we're going to have our magician—"
The music rang out, the lights of the stage disappeared instantly, and the sudden darkness caused the children and the timid ladies in the seats to scream in fear.
At that moment, accompanied by sound effects, a cylindrical light was cast from the top on the audience.
"Jules the Magician!"
The surrounding audience exclaimed, and it was not clear when the strange man had arrived at their side. He was of medium stature, somewhat thin, with a well-rounded countenance, and a smile on his lips that made him look personable and charming.
"Known as the 'magician of the 21st century', he has won many awards, especially the large-scale escape magic......
The host's high-pitched tone was deafening under the microphone, especially Song Yiqiao, who was still sitting very close to the speaker. She rubbed her ears and turned sideways to watch the magician slowly walk to the stage at an unhurried pace, praying in her heart that he would walk faster.
Finally, when Song Yiqiao thought he was going to be deaf, Jules walked to the center of the stage. The host ended his fanciful flamboyance and retreated behind the scenes, and the lights on the stage suddenly dimmed.
First of all, a few small magic tricks in the hot field. Poker, bouncing sticks, silk scarves, magic umbrellas...... These gadgets were dazzled in his hands.
Although Song Yiqiao did not have much interest in magic performances, he was fascinated by his skillful and superb techniques. It is hard to imagine that pair of hands that looked extremely ordinary were flipping and flying like big white birds under the illumination of the light.
The following mind-reading magic trick pushed the atmosphere of the whole theater to a higher level. Tide.
"You're thinking about this number."
Jules' fingers moved, revealing a white card. The young woman standing in the audience raised her hand in disbelief, and it was exactly the same as Jules!
"Wow-"
The surging applause almost overwhelmed the entire space, and Song Yiqiao couldn't help but applaud along with it. She can already see that the success of tonight's magic trick has spread the magician's fame even further, and she is afraid that his Facebook comments will be crowded tonight.
Jules made a quiet gesture.
"Please save your applause for the next performance." He bowed gentlemanly, and when the scene fell silent, he suddenly turned around, "I have my assistant Jenny invited-"
In the anticipatory gaze, a blonde beauty with a hot body and a sexy leather coat twisted her hips to appear, and her white and tender breasts lined with a deep V neck were very eye-catching. She brushed her long, wavy blonde hair with one hand, and a rose crossed her seductive, hot red lips.
"Good evening."
With a blink of her eyes, she threw the rose down, but the flower was too light to be thrown into the men who were eyeing her, but instead fell comically into Song Yiqiao's arms.
Jenny sends her a flying kiss.
Song Yiqiao nodded slightly awkwardly and placed the rose next to him.
Jules took a step back, stood with his assistant, clapped his hands and said, "Ladies and gentlemen! Next, I need an audience member to help me perform this magic trick, it can be a bit dangerous, it also needs a strong enough heart, and of course, if you have taken a tranquilizer beforehand, you can also raise your hand to sign up. ”
His witty and humorous language instantly elicited another laugh.
"Come on...... Let me pick one ......."
Jules's gaze wandered over the audience, and the assistant next to him leaned over to say something in his ear, and he smiled knowingly, then looked at Song Yiqiao.
"Dear ma'am, my assistant believes in the person who is guided by the roses, so are you willing to sacrifice yourself to complete this wonderful show with us?"
The spotlight hit Song Yiqiao in the next second.
She hesitated, and the rest of the audience cheered loudly, and there was no other way but to agree to the request and walk onto the stage amid cheers.
"What do you call it?"
"Joe." She replied.
"Okay, Joe, now I'm going to play a little game with you, please close your eyes."
Song Yiqiao closed her eyes and stood quietly on the stage, Jules's voice ringing in her ears again.
"Imagine that you have a rope of hydrogen balloon attached to your left wrist and are flying upwards lightly, very lightly, very lightly...... Yes, please relax...... Next, imagine that you have a heavy stone tied to your right wrist that makes your arm feel sore......"
Miraculously, under the guidance of Jules, her two arms gradually felt different pressures, her left hand involuntarily floated upward, and her right hand slid down as if there was really a stone dragging her.
The audience was silent, and it should have been the assistant who was gesturing to silence them.
"Please wake up. It's just a little game, and that's where the real start begins. ”
As soon as Jules's words fell, Song Yiqiao immediately opened her eyes, the strange gravity in her hand disappeared and she felt very uncomfortable being controlled, and she regretted that she accepted the invitation to the stage so lightly.
"Please continue to relax - Jenny, take your seat."
Jenny nodded, stepped aside, and slipped into a sealed box.
"Joe, look me in the eye."
She stared at Jules' gentle azure eyes, as if the waves were swaying and whirling in them......
The magician's deeper and deeper voice sounded in his ears: "Come, don't worry, I believe you can." Your body will lean back and you will lie down...... The eyelids are heavy and you are very tired...... You haven't had a break in days...... I've been bored a lot lately, and I haven't been getting enough sleep...... Well, you'll lie down gently, like you're lying on a big soft bed......"
Song Yiqiao's consciousness was a little blurred, and the eyes with the light on his back seemed to be able to intoxicate a person's mind. She listened and listened, and involuntarily lay on the ground, half-asleep, half-asleep, her arm seemed to be bitten by something, her eyelids were heavier, and her whole body was paralyzed as if she had been injected with an anesthetic.
“…… Well, ladies and gentlemen, look! ”
Jules's voice came in a hazy way like half a century away. In a trance, she heard the audience cheering in amazement, but she didn't know what was happening.
Looking at it from the audience, Song Yiqiao, who had his eyes closed, seemed to be pulled by something, lying on the ground involuntarily.
"Take up the weapon in your hand, it is the only being that can defend your mind and protect your body."
Song Yiqiao stretched out his hand slightly, grabbed something, and kept it still.
It turned out to be a long rope that stretched all the way to the top roller, and at the other end was something dangling, surrounded by a black curtain. As soon as Jules pulled it away, the audience exclaimed—it turned out to be a sharp long knife!
Jenny was lying in a closed box, only her head was exposed, and the long knife hung right above her head, as soon as Song Yiqiao let go, the knife would fall down and cut Jenny's throat directly.
"Now it's up to my assistant to perform this thrilling moment!"
Jules was pleased to see their reactions, and explained loudly: "I will order this lady to count down to sixty seconds, and this is when my assistant will be tested." If she doesn't manage to escape within sixty seconds, she will be greeted by a call from death! ”
"Now let's get started!"
Song Yiqiao heard a voice repeat in her ear three times, making her count down sixty seconds loudly. She felt that something was wrong, but she was so confused that she couldn't turn her head around.
"Sixty!"
Her voice was quick, and her tone was a little fast.
"Fifty-Nine, Fifty-Eight......"
With a countdown, the brain went blank for a second, and in an instant, there was a command to tell her - the last three seconds jumped directly!
…… No, no, it's going to kill Jenny.
Song Yiqiao desperately refused, but a voice told her that she had to do it. Something began to boil in her heart, and her heart beat faster and faster, faster and faster, as if she had been freed from her shackles.
"Five, four......"
She's awake!
The strength of his hand suddenly loosened, and the audience let out a panicked scream. Song Yiqiao opened his eyes suddenly, jumped forward, and firmly grasped the end of the rope!
That's when the mutation happened.
Song Yiqiao watched the rope shake, then made a creaking breaking sound, and rushed towards Jenny's white neck with a long knife.
"Don't!"
