Chapter 4: The Secrets of D'Villelock
De Villelock's next magic tricks became more and more exciting, and the audience who had just been frightened was so immersed in it that they almost fell into a frenzy.
Xiao Yan and Wang Xijun endured it until halftime and slipped out. Unlike the rest of the audience, both of them had solemnity written on their faces.
It's beyond magic!
The black shadow monsters that appeared on the stage from time to time were definitely not hallucinations, and Xiao Yan was very sure that they were some kind of magical creatures that should not exist in this world.
Where do these things come from? How did you get in touch with Dverlock?
The most bizarre thing is why the power of the plane has not stopped the arrival of these monsters, and Dverlock has not been torn apart by the punishment of the plane.
"Let's sneak into his room!" Kuro Naga, who looked decadent throughout the performance, quickly recovered his spirits after leaving the theater, "I suspect he is performing some mysterious ritual, and it may even be related to the dimensional world!" β
ββ¦β¦β
"It's okay, I can sense him as long as he shows up in the nearby aisle!" The girl was very sure, "It's a bit of a distance from his room." β
"But how do you know where his guest room is?"
"Divination! I've learned what you showed me the last few weeks! Let me show you my little skills! As she spoke, the girl took out a crystal pendant and began to divination, "Divination ~ the room of the magician De Villelock." β
"Wait!" Before Xiao Yan could stop it, Hei Changzhi had already completed a set of deaths.
The crystal pendant shook immediately, pointing very surely in one direction.
"Cool or not! Come with me!" Wang Xijun had a eager expression on his face, and pulled Xiao Yan to run in the direction indicated.
β¦β¦
"Do you pick locks?" Xiao Yan asked, looking at the door of the thick luxury suite.
"Of course, this is not an electronic lock, look at me!" Wang Xijun grimaced, took off two hairpins from his hair, and pried open the door with lightning speed, "In fact, the electronic lock can't stop me."
You...... Why are you so skilled...... Xiao Yan was shocked.
The girl put away her hairpin and pushed the door open as if she were going back to her own home, "If we don't have time to escape when the master returns, we can jump off the balcony, and below this is the upper deck, which will not fall into the sea." β
Yes, yes, you can do whatever you want.
De Villelock's room was unusually tidy, and Wang Xijun scanned it with his senses, and after making sure that there were no hidden traps, he felt relieved to touch the desk.
A black suitcase in the corner of the desk caught the attention of the two.
"Be careful, there's a ban on this." Wang Xijun suddenly stretched out his hand to stop Xiao Yan, "If I hadn't broken through the extreme, I really couldn't help him~"
As the girl spoke, she took out a small silver amulet, "Made in this world, these little tricks are enough." β
"How many little things have you made?" Xiao Yan asked curiously, "Wait, did I mention any silver talismans in the things I showed you?" β
"No," the girl shook her head casually, "but when I saw the mark of the Burning Eye, some occult knowledge came to my mind, and I could make some small items, which was interesting!" And intelligence +1! β
"Well, I think about it, divination pendants, demon-breaking talismans, and tarot cards that can be used as weapons for divination!" Wang Xijun's eyes sparkled, "After breaking through the extreme, I have seen a bigger world, you know!" I was able to see a lot of things that I couldn't see before, and the occult was so much fun! β
"In the future, please call me the Great Occultist Wang Xijun!"
The silver amulet shattered into a little bit of silver powder as it touched the suitcase, and something invisible seemed to pull at the lock of the suitcase, and then opened with a "click".
"Ahh Disposable! The girl cried out, "It's made of silver, it's very expensive, why can't you have it all at once!" β
There wasn't much in the suitcase other than a diary, and it was estimated that important items had been taken for the show.
Garadia took out her notebook, opened it and looked at it......
"Jimmy Carter's Diary."
Xiao Yan saw that Jimmy Carter's name was written on the cover of this diary, and his business card was still on the cover. The first page of the diary is pinned with a paper clip to the gentleman's boarding card, not the time of the cruise, but many years ago.
The space is the bottom compartment in the worst condition.
The photo on the boarding card has been scratched, and it can be barely seen that this Mr. Carter has a slender face, a three-seven-point haircut, and a high and straight nose bridge, which is quite different from the current De Villelock's handsome face full of collagen, but it is still vaguely a little like a god.
Xiao Yan stood aside and watched, but at the same time remained vigilant.
Things don't look good with this Jimmy Carter. Two letters were sandwiched between the front and back of the diary paper that followed. The first was from a magic shop with an overdue and unpaid bill that read a pair of magic pokers, a magic top hat, and two rabbits, totaling $10. There is also a threatening letter to the effect that you will not be paid to look good!
The next letter, sent from California by Jimmy's older brother, William Carter, reads, "Hey! Jimmy! Did your show make a splash in the city? It's a pity that I'm not in the Federation now, the big cities are not for me, I went to the west, I wonder if you can take the time to come and meet me? β¦β¦ (omitted here) Best wishes, William. β
"Why did he keep these?" Galadia looked at Xiao Yan suspiciously.
"It's more accurate than a diary and an archive package." Xiao Yan nodded, "Yes, what is he doing with this?" β
According to his diary, after corresponding, Jimmy Carter boarded a flight from South Asia.
However, the plane never reached its destination, and the entire passenger of the plane disappeared along with the flight. This famous incident is almost universally known.
The newspaper attached to the diary carried the news:
"Flight MH-XXX mysteriously disappeared in the sea."
I don't know if Jimmy didn't take the flight, or if he managed to run back with all his beards in his head, but his journal didn't break.
The diary at the back is pasted with a circus poster with a strong man holding a barbell, a witty and weird little robot, and a clown holding a balloon. There is also a fragment from a book with a black obelisk and strange symbols drawn on it.
Jimmy Carter enclosed a page of his own handwritten diary: "A miracle happened! Despite my recent misfortunes, I survived. I found some of the things in the book, and although I haven't been able to fully decipher them, the ones that I know give me endless possibilities! I shouldn't have recorded too much in my diary, and for some reason, lately I've had a feeling of being watched. I'm going to keep exploring, and when the time comes, I'll hold all the secrets in my hands. β
In the corner of the diary, some strange shadows were scribbled on, as if they were monsters with huge mouths and fangs, and their backs were full of spikes, very similar to the shadows that Xiao Yan and they had seen during the performance just now.
December 26, 2012. There is only one sentence in the diary for this day.
"I'm not going to be Jimmy Carter anymore! From this day forward, I am the great De Villelock! A real magician! β
After that, the diary was no longer pasted with newspapers or other letters, and Jimmy Carter, or Dwellock, recorded his rise to fame in detail:
"Last night when I was doing the ritual, a terrible shadow condensed in the sky, his face was so hateful, I looked at it, and a chill soaked through my heart, I was so frightened, trembling and finishing the incantation. It didn't make any hostile moves, lingering in the void for a while, shaking and disappearing. What is it? Is it looking at me? Could it be that it is guarding the secret I am approaching? Either way, hopefully I won't see it again. β
In the corner of the journal is a jeweled amulet and a staff.
June 30, 2013.
The diary entry for this day contains a simple job posting, which is supposed to be a draft of the job posting that De Villelock was going to write to the newspaper.
"Working hours: from July 6, 2013, two in the morning and two in the evening, 7 days a day."
"Looking for a magic assistant, with or without acting experience, you have to have a face that says "I'm curious" and be interested in the wonders of the universe, just like in the photo. Bring your own stage costumes. β
Attached to this page is a picture of a girl in a sailor suit, and the sparkling eyes really give a glimpse of emotion - "I'm curious! β
"August 15, 2013."
Today's diary is pinned to a letter from Charlie, a female assistant.
"Hi old rice!
We really shocked them yesterday, there is wood?
The old man in the front row was scared to death, hehe.
The shadow creatures were so real that they almost scared me. I almost forgot that I was on stage!
When I get back from my sister, we can rehearse the new show!
I'm looking forward to it~
Charlie (Love)"
β¦β¦
After that, he began to paste paper cutouts and photographs of posters in his diary. Together with his female assistant Charlie, De Villelock summons the monster with its big mouth that was previously drawn in the diary.
Galadia put the diary in her arms and looked at Xiao Yan like no one else, "I'll study it another day!" β
"You're going to ...... Stealing someone's diary? "Xiao Yan sweated one.
"Of course!" The girl raised her eyebrows, "Ahh Pay attention to the wording, I'm going to confiscate the diary of a magician who made a god-for-the-devil pact with God knows what the hell to study and critique! God knows when he'll draw a circle to summon demons or sacrifice good innocents, okay? I have to guard against it! β
The girl clenched her fists and continued to check in the room, "Judging from the diary, his experience is very interesting, in some places it is similar to the adventures of our plane world, but not exactly the same. β
"It's possible that he entered a demon's lair or something like the missing flight." Xiao Yan nodded, "Most of the other passengers have already ......, but Jimmy not only survived, but also gained some kind of connection with the demon. β
"I'm curious!"
"What?" Xiao Yan was surprised to see that Galadia's eyes were shining, full of excitement.
"We caught Jimmy's little secret! Don't you feel excited? He's a big celebrity! Galadia tapped on the corner of the table, "Let's wait here!" Grab him when he gets back! Ay...... What are you doing! β
Xiao Yan snatched the diary from Galadia and threw it back into the box, cleaned up the crime scene, grabbed the girl's hand and carried her to her shoulder, opened the floor-to-ceiling window of the balcony and jumped down, landing firmly on the deck.
"It's boring!" Galadia struggled and protested, "Maybe he's the demon's messenger on earth!" My perception can block out his detection! As long as you don't get discovered, it's not a crime! Feed! Feed! Put me down! β
