Chapter 175: The Mystery of Magic
PS: Thank you for the monthly pass of the hot snow and the tip of the Sword of Destroying the Sky
In another place, a figure jumped from the roof of a 20-story office building. Fetzerin adjusted his body in mid-air, then pressed the button on his belt, and a hook bolt shot out of it and nailed it to the wall, and his descent began to slow down. After a while, a Lamborghini roadster happened to pass by below and caught him.
"Hmph, it's really embarrassing." The slender and sexy blonde female king glanced at him and couldn't help but tease.
Fetzelin's mask was half shattered, and his body was covered in wounds, and his arm hung down to look like a broken one.
"Don't say it, it's my life to escape alive." Fetzelin laughed self-deprecatingly, checked his arm and said to himself, "Hey, dragon teeth...... What a monster. β
The blonde beauty snorted and laughed, "Such a monster also has a dragon claw, and it is difficult for the four of us and Joker to maintain this balance." I think we need to talk to Joker and get those guys to help out......"
"Joker won't agree, that guy is a good old man...... It's a pity that these idiots don't know our intentions at all, and they still fight against us, which is really infuriating. Fetzelin sighed.
And Chu Yunxuan was still worried about how to face Lan Ya and the others with such an embarrassed appearance now.
On the other hand, he is also thinking about his own strength. In this life, he has worked hard to develop in an all-round way, but he still can't take the absolute advantage in the battle just now. The other party has learned the six potentials of the wind forest and volcano, and has the technological support of the fraudster. There are also many people like Derian, and if so, then his agent ability is really not excellent.
Now he is probably not the opponent of Black Joker, in order to further strengthen his ability, he intends to develop from both fine and wide aspects. The essence aspect is to further strengthen the use of wind forests and volcanoes, and strengthen their palms; On the other hand, it is to learn more about the level of knowledge, not only the skills of agents, but also the abilities of killers and magicians.
"But let's deal with my girls first......" Chu Yunxuan sighed and said, and then struggled to stand up. The logistics team will disguise themselves as police officers and take Derian away. And he had already heard the sound of the horn and had stopped downstairs. So I planned to leave quickly, but the hard things were still after that.
He had two broken ribs and some bruises on his arms, which hurt Lan Ya, Xiao Xiao and Lin Zhi. But what about other people's explanations; And it's a little bit more now. After lunch. He didn't eat the food cooked by Su Qian himself, this was the first time this Nizi cooked for everyone, and he missed it. It's really all over his year's bad luck today.
But when he went home, Lan Ya's three caring girls had already helped him fool him. A meal was also left.
"Come on, change your shoes!" Lan Ya fussed and put her slippers at the door, looking at him cautiously as if she was afraid of bumping into him. Xiao Xiao ran to the house on his feet: "You haven't eaten yet, have you?" I'm going to heat up your meal! β
And Lin Zhi grabbed the bottle of Jinchuang spray and waved his hand: "Come in quickly, what are you doing in a daze!" β
Chu Yunxuan sat down on the sofa, took off his coat and the long-sleeved T-shirt inside, and the three girls gasped and almost screamed. Chu Yunxuan's arm was fine, only a few bruises and redness appeared, but the bruise on the ribs was almost the size of a palm, and the redness and swelling spread to the entire half of the ribs.
"I should have shot that camera, but I really don't have much free time...... Chu Yunxuan smiled slightly, Lin Zhi sprayed Jinchuang spray on his wound, and a cool feeling came, covering the swelling and numbness at the wound, Chu Yunxuan couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief: "Whew, it's much better...... I'm glad you thought to bring this here. β
"Tsk, it's a shame you gave me a bottle of ......," Lin Zhi said with a somewhat angry glance at him.
"Did you hurt your bones?" Lan Ya asked with a worried face, wanting to touch it but afraid of hurting Chu Yunxuan.
Chu Yunxuan grinned and said, "I'm afraid so...... But you don't need to take care of it, and it can grow in a few days. β
As he spoke, Chu Yunxuan struggled to stand up, stretched out his hand and said, "Can you help me?" I'm going to be in the injured position when I'm sitting now, so I'm hoping to lie down..."
The three girls hurriedly helped him to the room, and carefully put him on the bed as if they were taking care of a paraplegic, and then Lan Ya handed over a spoonful with a lunch box: "Come, I'll feed you, Xiaoqian's cooking tastes very good." β
Chu Yunxuan opened his mouth to eat, nodded and said, "Well, it's really good, he has the potential to be a chef." β
"There's still time to talk about that...... Look at how badly you're hurt. Xiao Xiao knelt on the edge of his bed, holding her chin and muttering.
Chu Yunxuan rubbed Xiao Xiao's head and smiled: "Don't worry, it will be fine to recuperate at home for a few days." β
"I'll help you go to the head teacher tomorrow to ask for a leave, how many days do you want to rest?" Lin Zhi took out his phone and asked.
"Three days, three days." Chu Yunxuan pondered for a while and replied, Lan Ya held his hand and said worriedly, "Why don't you rest for a few more days for such a serious injury?" Didn't people say that it would take 100 days to break your muscles and bones? β
"My body is stronger than ordinary people, and with the golden medicine, three days is enough for me to recover." Chu Yunxuan laughed softly.
Lin Zhi called, while Xiao Xiao muttered beside him: "That villain is too bastard this time, and he set up such a memory to frame you." But why is he so powerful? It's the first time I've seen you hurt like this......"
"It's a long story...... He was a student of the same period as me and an organization. Chu Yunxuan sighed and said.
"It's actually an organization with you? Then why are you still ......" Lan Ya said in surprise, wiping Chu Yunxuan's mouth with a tissue. Chu Yunxuan smiled bitterly: "It's a long story, in short, because he was a very good newcomer in the organization before I went, but he was eliminated when he faced me in the graduation exam, so he was a little resentful of me......"
Lin Zhi said a little angrily: "I'm too careful, I dare to say that I am a man!" β
"Good thing you caught him. You, do this kind of work outside to keep a low profile and make less trouble. Xiao Xiao stretched out her hand and poked his head and reprimanded, Lan Ya also said angrily: "I always told him this, and he was like this!" β
So he suddenly entered the criticism meeting against him, Chu Yunxuan had to pretend that the wound hurt and wanted to rest, and the girls finally quieted down and took care of his diet and daily life.
If he doesn't go to school these days, Chu Yunxuan is here to take a break, and secondly, he is to contact the organization to discuss some things.
The first is the plan to deal with the Joker gang. The organization's advice to him was not to carry out any more operations in Dongzhou City. Go abroad as much as possible to join forces with other agents, so that Joker can divert his attention from Dongzhou City, and he can also take care of each other at critical moments. In addition, he was also informed. Joker knew he was born again.
"No wonder those guys are targeting me like that." Chu Yunxuan thought with some distress. It also strengthened his determination to further expand his abilities. Therefore, he still plans to calm down these days. Be honest and recuperate at home.
Although the injury to his ribs was more serious, Chu Yunxuan was physically strong and still had the ability to take care of himself. After spraying Jinchuang medicine twice, the redness and swelling were basically healed. But it will be a while before the bones grow back together, and in the meantime he plans to meet a few friends.
"Where are you going? The injury is not healed yet, and I ran out again! Lan Ya saw Chu Yunxuan changing clothes, and couldn't help but ask.
"Go out and meet an old friend, don't worry, you won't get into trouble." Chu Yunxuan laughed softly.
Chu Yunxuan drove to the door of the Fenglin Bar, got out of the car and looked around, and sure enough, he saw a familiar figure in front of the bar, wearing a black suit, his jacket was not buttoned, and he did not wear a tie, looking very casual and casual.
"Old fox." Chu Yunxuan said hello, the man in front of the bar turned around, saw that it was Chu Yunxuan, and immediately grinned, got up and shook hands with him and said, "Don't call me that outside, that's the code name in the organization." β
The man in front of him has short hair and good facial features, and he looks loyal, giving people a sense of righteousness. His name is Tian Xuanfeng, he is a magician in the organization, codenamed Silver Fox, usually Chu Yunxuan calls him Old Fox.
In his previous life, Chu Yunxuan and him were good friends, and they often cooperated on tasks, and their personalities were very compatible. So in this life, Chu Yunxuan has worked with him a few times and became acquainted. Tian Xuanfeng is good at Qimen Dunjia, and his hand speed is also very fast, but he is not a rookie magician, he has been in the gazer for some years, and he only joined when the dragon organization was established.
"So, this time it's so rare, ask me to help you? You know, the nature of our work is usually that we ask you for help. Tian Xuanfeng smiled, then snapped his fingers at the bartender and said, "Have a glass of Martini plus ice." β
The magicians of the gaze also have their own way of fighting, Tian Xuanfeng has a certain combat ability, which is very powerful compared to ordinary people, but after all, his specialty is magic, and his combat ability is not as good as that of these agents and killers, so he usually plays an auxiliary role in teamwork, helping agents and killers to provide technical support or backup, rather than fighting directly.
"No, I'm going to drive in a while, and my fiancΓ©e doesn't like me drinking." Chu Yunxuan smiled bitterly.
"Oh? It's not good for people like us to settle down too soon, right? Are you planning to retire early? Tian Xuanfeng asked with a little surprise, turned to the bartender and said, "Then bring him a colorful cocktail, I'll treat you today, don't be polite to me." β
"Okay, you're welcome." Chu Yunxuan said simply, "I'm here to learn magic from you." β
Tian Xuanfeng took a sip of wine and smiled: "Oh? Why did you suddenly become interested in this? If you want to accomplish any tasks, you can tell me, let's just work together. We're a golden partner, not a black rose. β
"It's not that the mission needs it, but I hope to strengthen my combat ability, I think I must still lack something, so I have to absorb all aspects of knowledge. If you want to keep it a secret, I can understand it, after all, I am a magician, and if I pass on my magic skills, it is tantamount to ......," Chu Yunxuan explained.
Tian Xuanfeng tasted the martini in his mouth, shook his index finger and smiled: "Don't underestimate me too much, sometimes, even if you know the principle of magic, you can't see through it, it depends on the magician's skills." I see, I've heard something, you seem to be bitten hard by some people lately, and I'm glad you could help. β
As he spoke, Tian Xuanfeng took out a folded thin cardboard from his arms. began to disassemble: "Simply use this thing, you can tell you what magic is, look at it......"
Tian Xuanfeng opened the cardboard, simply adjusted the angle, and put it in front of Chu Yunxuan's eyes. It was obviously just a flat piece of cardboard, but the peculiar nature of the cardboard, coupled with the lines drawn on the cardboard, actually looked like a three-dimensional quadrangular Rubik's cube. Chu Yunxuan was thoughtful, holding his chin and groaning.
"See? That's the visuals, and the magic is the trick that tricks your eyes. Tian Xuanfeng explained.
Chu Yunxuan nodded. Tian Xuanfeng then began to pound the piece of cardboard again. While muttering to himself: "Of course, this is just the most basic, you can find it from a different angle...... However, the magician who is a little more powerful ......"
said. Tian Xuanfeng folded the cardboard slightly. Put it in front of Chu Yunxuan. The irregularly folded cardboard, no matter how many angles Chu Yunxuan looked at, it was actually a three-dimensional square box shape, only when he stood up and pulled away a little. From a more tricky angle, you can see that this piece of cardboard is not what it seems.
"See? The audience is sitting, so their vision is restricted, and if they want to see the mystery, they have to look at it from a different angle, and if the other party is a powerful magician, it is even more difficult to see the clue. Tian Xuanfeng said, handed the piece of cardboard to Chu Yunxuan, shrugged his shoulders and said, "So, you see, this is magic." β
"Makes sense." Chu Yunxuan nodded and said, observing the piece of cardboard, Tian Xuanfeng continued: "Never believe your eyes, you should understand the truth that seeing is false, right?" Look at things from a comprehensive and objective perspective, not just with your eyes, but with your ears and nose, and with your whole body, so that you can see the true posture of things. β
Chu Yunxuan grinned: "The famous words of the gazer, huh?" I don't understand what I mean now. β
"Of course, this is just the basic principle, and to really do the magic, you need to master more details." Tian Xuanfeng said, stretched out his hand to a beautiful waiter passing by and said with a smile: "You are really beautiful, only flowers can match your appearance." β
As he spoke, Tian Xuanfeng made a gesture of holding the flower with his right hand, and then gently pushed it with his left hand under his right hand, and a rose inexplicably emerged from his right hand.
The girl took it with some surprise, pursed her lips and smiled, gave him a meaningful look, and then turned away.
"Is it from the cuff?" Chu Yunxuan raised his eyebrows and said.
"Of course, the magic also requires the use of some props, and that flower is a kind of folding fake flower, a bit like origami." Tian Xuanfeng whispered, "But it mainly depends on eyesight, you have to see the flow of other people's eyes clearly, and then look for the blind spot of his sight, it will be like the folded cardboard before, which can buy you enough time." β
Chu Yunxuan nodded, and then asked, "But what if you can't see his eyes?" If we don't see our eyes when we're wearing masks, how can we make sure of his vision? β
"It's also very simple, you need a cover." Tian Xuanfeng explained, "Usually magicians use beautiful women to attract people's attention, and you can ask the beautiful woman to make some movements to observe the person's reaction to determine the direction of his gaze. In your battles, I guess you should be judging by how the enemy reacts to the environment...... Of course, this is all something that needs to be practiced. β
"I see." Chu Yunxuan nodded and smiled, and stretched out his hand to Tian Xuanfeng: "Thank you for your help." β
"You're so polite, if you need to, you can team up with me to complete some tasks later, maybe you can help you get acquainted with the magician's abilities." Tian Xuanfeng shook hands with Chu Yunxuan and said with a smile.
"Okay, then it's settled." Chu Yunxuan nodded and said, "Let's discuss it specifically, then I'll go back first." Besides, I'm really sorry to trouble you to come here for such a small matter......"
"Don't get in the way, I just have something to come here......" Tian Xuanfeng said with a dry smile, obviously something embarrassing. Chu Yunxuan didn't bother to ask more, but the knowledge that the old fox told him today was really helpful to him, if he could learn this skill, it would be very helpful for stealth and anti-stealth, and he would be more sure when dealing with the sneak of the new Joker.
The abilities of the agents are generally in common, such as the ability of magicians to judge the direction of their gaze through human movements and reactions, which is the psychology of human behavior, but the focus is different from that of agents. But Chu Yunxuan can also understand. After Hetian Xuanfeng said goodbye, Chu Yunxuan went home, his ribs were still aching, it was better not to go out to die.
Now it's almost December, the students are busy with their final exams, and Lan Ya and the others have to leave him alone at home to go to the classroom to study, so when Chu Yunxuan returned to the apartment, there was no one. He had to change his dressing himself, and then went to the kitchen to make something to eat, but before he could do it for a while, someone knocked on the door.
"Brother Xuan. I smell the scent. Su Qian smiled faintly outside the door. Then he hurriedly explained: "I'm not hungry, I just want to come and watch Brother Xuan cook, and I can learn a lot every time." β
Su Qian was wearing a white two-piece T-shirt with a loose blue knit sweater on the outside. The lower half of the body is a short skirt, leggings and high boots. It's a little funker than ever. But the emaciation still makes her look a little poignant.
On the one hand, it is because Su Qian's mental state has improved a lot this time. In addition, because she has no income now, Xiao Xiao and Lin Zhi are responsible for food, clothing, housing and transportation.
"Don't be too polite, you girl, come in first." Chu Yunxuan said with a smile. Su Qian pursed her lips and smiled, and asked gently, "Brother Xuan, how are you injured?" Does it still hurt? Why did you run out of the door before you were well? β
"I saw a friend who came all the way over." Chu Yunxuan said and came to the kitchen with Su Qian. The girl was also very quiet, didn't speak, just watched him cook from the side, and then nodded thoughtfully from time to time.
Su Qian usually doesn't go out much, stays in the apartment to read recipes and learn to cook, and recently her cooking skills have improved, but the most surprising thing is the dessert gadgets she makes such as macarons and tiramisu. Not only is the appearance warm and cute, but the taste is also impeccable, elegant and soft, which makes Chu Yunxuan have the idea of letting her be the exclusive pastry chef in the store in the future.
Now the desserts in the store are in charge of each chef, and they are not excellent compared to the main meal, they can only be regarded as decorations, but if Su Qian's talent for making desserts is really reflected, and he can make the desserts in the store also special, then his restaurant can be regarded as truly perfect, and the business can be upgraded to a higher level than now.
"You just stay at home every day and watch videos and cook, don't you feel bored?" Chu Yunxuan said curiously. Su Qian shook her head: "What I eat and live now is Xiaozhi and Xiaozi, I want to work and make money to pay them back." β
"They won't see the outside ......" Chu Yunxuan smiled bitterly, and then turned the sauce in the pot and said, "But I promise you, if you study more desserts, I will let you be the pastry chef in the store, and you will also be treated as a regular chef." β
Su Qian nodded happily and said, "Okay, I like to make those little desserts very much, I think they are cute and delicious." It's just that I don't seem to have this position in the store, so ...... Since Brother Xuan said so, then I will start studying today. β
The treatment of regular chefs in their restaurants is very high even in first-tier cities, after all, chefs are an important team in their store, and the salary is not high. In terms of interviews, Chu Yunxuan will personally participate, and then use his psychological ability to screen the applicants. Cooking skills are not the most important thing when recruiting, but people with good character and loyalty, who are interested in cooking or whose family situation needs to be improved are preferred, so until now, no chef has changed jobs.
"Okay." Chu Yunxuan rubbed the little girl's head and smiled, "Can you taste some too?" β
After the pasta was ready, the two went to the living room to eat. Su Qian is a quiet girl, always silently accompanying her, and rarely takes the initiative to speak, which also gives people a special sense of quietness. Chu Yunxuan turned on the TV, and at this time, an interview was being broadcast in the program, and the subject of the interview, Chu Yunxuan, actually knew ......
"Yo, this isn't ......" Chu Yunxuan said with a little surprise, the people on TV were the foraging team that spent the week on the desert island with them, including the veteran Wang Qiying, the stewardess Zhang Xi and several other foraging team members.
Judging from the content, it is roughly that the anchor of the show pats them on the back through various questions, praising them for their noble character and the like, it seems that they are really hot these days. Chu Yunxuan basically didn't pay attention to this aspect, so he didn't know about it.
But then the anchor asked a question that surprised Chu Yunxuan: "Regarding the murder of Zhao Anran, do you think it was the revenge of the people on the island?" And the photo that appeared after that was the rich and handsome man in the foraging team. (To be continued......)
