Chapter 36: The Kiss of Eros
All the spotlights dimmed at the glittering MGM Hotel, and all eyes were on the 10-second countdown on the screen! A world-class visual feast is about to begin.
"Five! Four! Three! Two! One! ”
The last five seconds were shouted by almost the entire audience.
The ten-second countdown is over, and the show starts now!
When the lights on the left and right are dimmed, a group of girls in uniform come out from behind the curtain to make a pre-opening display. Everyone could clearly see that the girl's empty hands conjured infinite petals, and then, after the petals fell from the air, flames erupted from their hands one after another......
The magic performances were staged in order, and the audience was immersed in the exquisite skills of the magicians and the enthusiastic cheers of the audience.
When Shu Xiaoran was watching the magic trick, she glanced at Chu Ming beside her, and she saw that Chu Ming's two eyes had been staring at the performers on the stage, as if her gaze had never left.
"How? Can you deduce their modus operandi? Shu Xiaoran, who was beside Chu Ming, asked himself.
"Huh?"
was called by Shu Xiaoran, and Chu Ming came back to his senses.
"What did you say?" may be due to the enthusiastic cheers at the scene, plus I was watching the performance intently just now, and I didn't notice Xiao Ran talking to him.
"I said, with your mind, can you see how their magic trick has changed?"
Chu Ming smiled: "Hehe, I think this has to call you Sister Ling Yu, or Qin Jian, they may be able to see it." ”
"However, even if you can see it, don't say it easily, one of the eight rules of magic is not to disclose the secret of magic, when you disclose the secret of a magician, it means ruining their job."
Xiao Ran nodded. Indeed, the mystery of magicians lies in the use of their own techniques, they perform for a few seconds on stage, but it can take months to study offstage.
The magic show was still going on, and the cheers of the audience never stopped. Chu Ming and Shu Xiaoran's concentration also returned to watching the magic show.
After about ten minutes, the host walked out again and said to all the audience in the audience:
"Ladies and gentlemen, the most exciting time is next, the magician known as the Elk, Milou, who is about to take the stage for her final performance, let's invite Milou to appear!"
After the host finished speaking, the lights dimmed, and he took advantage of the dimming of the lights to leave the stage.
Then, when the spotlights on the stage converged and all the focus was on the top of the stage, people watched as a female magician in a white uniform and a white top hat slowly descended from the sky. All the lights shone on her, and she waved the golden magic wand in the air with that golden magic wand in her hand, as if to write some magical music.
And then before she landed, the magic wand waved in the air and slashed, instantly turned into a pile of white flying feathers, fell into the air, landed on the stage, and floated to the audience's seats.
This is the world-famous magician! Milu! People are looking forward to what kind of performance she will perform in Las Vegas tonight.
I saw that after Mi Lu landed, he first bowed to everyone very elegantly, and then stood in front of the stage with the magic wand in his hand and a few strokes in the air. Because sitting in the front row, Chu Ming and Shu Xiaoran could also see clearly, they looked at this magician called an elk, Mi Lu, the outline of this whole body was very familiar, and then looked at her face, the aura that emanated from her, this feeling was very familiar. When the spotlight puts her face in front of the audience. With an angelic face and godly eyes, this kind of face is by no means the usual alluring face.
"Wow!" After seeing Milu's face, the audience was amazed almost at the same time. Among them, there are people who come to watch the performance of the Deer Bell Magic Troupe for the first time, but they still exclaim.
"She's the one we met last night." Shu Xiaoran said to Chu Ming.
"So, was that guy last night really Milou?" Chu Ming replied.
"But how can you be sure that she is the same person as the woman last night, her hat was pressed last night, and we didn't see her clearly." Chu Ming asked Shu Xiaoran.
Xiao Ran smiled and replied, "Haha, it's probably a woman's intuition." ”
They then looked at Mi Lu, who was already standing in the center of the stage at this time, probably by inadvertent glances, she saw Chu Ming and Shu Xiaoran at the front desk of the audience. Mi Lu smiled briefly at the two of them.
"Welcome to Las Vegas, everyone! Before I start my show, I would like to play a game with everyone. Mi Lu on the stage said to everyone.
"Wow!" The audience was extremely curious.
"I need two audience members on stage to cooperate."
As soon as Mi Lu spoke, all the audience present suddenly boiled, and they all raised their hands one after another, all wanting to go on stage. It's just that Mi Lu glanced directly at Chu Ming and Shu Xiaoran, and then said to the two of them: "This gentleman in the front row, is this young lady willing to come up and cooperate?" ”
When Mi Lu looked at herself, Chu Ming and Shu Xiaoran seemed a little incredulous, was this calling herself? Chu Ming subconsciously pointed at himself.
Mi Lu smiled and nodded after seeing Chu Ming's actions.
Then Chu Ming pulled Shu Xiaoran onto the stage, and the cheers and losses from the audience were connected, why wasn't he on stage!
When Chu Ming and Shu Xiaoran came to power, Mi Lu asked the two of them to stand on either side of her. After that, she waved her hand in the air, and suddenly a row of playing cards appeared in the air, and no one knew how Milu did it. Then, Milou withdrew his playing cards and held them in his hands.
"I would venture to ask you two, are you a couple?"
"This ......"
As soon as Mi Lu's words came out, the two looked a little embarrassed, to be honest, let alone Elk Mi Lu, even the two of them didn't know if they were still a couple.
Mi Lu seemed to see the embarrassment of the two, and then continued: "Okay, whether the two are a couple or not, tonight will be each other's most unforgettable memories!" ”
After speaking, Mi Lu handed her magic wand to Chu Ming and asked him to help him take it first, and then took out her own deck of playing cards just now and presented it in front of the two, she motioned for Shu Xiaoran to choose one first.
Xiao Ran relied on his first feeling and drew a card close to the middle position. It was a six of hearts, and then Mi Lu took out a marker pen and handed it to Shu Xiaoran, asking her to write her name on it. Later, the card was taken back and shown to the audience. It was indeed a signed six of hearts, which means that this card has become the first card in the game.
After that, Mi Lu folded the card and handed it to Shu Xiaoran, asking her to bite the card tightly. After that, he asked Chu Ming again:
"Can this gentleman tell me your name?"
"Chu Ming!" Chu Ming replied without thinking.
"Okay, this gentleman next to me is called Chu Ming, is it Chu Ming who understands clearly?" Milou confirmed.
"Yes."
Subsequently, Mi Lu still took out one of the cards in that pile, this time it was a plum nine, and similarly, Mi Lu used a marker pen to write Chu Ming's name on it, and then folded it and handed it to Chu Ming, so that he could bite it tightly.
Now that both of them were biting the playing cards with their names signed just now, Mi Lu put away the remaining cards and took the magic wand from Chu Ming's hand. Lightly tap on the card that the two people were biting.
Then he said to the two people, but also to the audience: "When the magic wand clicks on the card with your name written on it, the god of love connects this marriage, and you have each other in your life from then on!" ”
While Mi Lu was talking, Chu Ming and Shu Xiaoran kept looking at each other, at this moment, they didn't feel that they were on the stage of a magic show at all, it should be said that they felt that this was their romantic scene.
At this time, how much Chu Ming wanted to open the box in his pocket and hand over the contents to Shu Xiaoran now. And Xiao Ran looked at the man in front of her, under the rendering of the background music and the flickering lights, she remembered in her mind how Chu Ming desperately saved herself when she was threatened by Yan Fei, and she thought about how the two of them traveled together when they came to Las Vegas.
"Eros has come down and given you a kiss, now face the audience and open the cards in your mouths at the same time!"
After Mi Lu finished speaking, Chu Ming and Shu Xiaoran faced the audience at the same time, took the card they bit in their mouths, opened it, and then a magical scene happened, the card in Shu Xiaoran's hand was the plum blossom nine with Chu Ming's name written on it, and the card opened in Chu Ming's hand was the six of hearts with Shu Xiaoran's name written on it. That is, both of them kissed each other's names unintentionally.
In other words, it should have been the goddess of love who came down and gave them two kisses of the goddess of love!
"Okay, thank you for your cooperation, and I hope that the kiss of Eros will bring you good luck."
After the performance, Mi Lu expressed her gratitude to Chu Ming and Shu Xiaoran, and when they got off the stage, Chu Ming and Shu Xiaoran wanted to return the cards to Mi Lu, but Mi Lu said that they were given to the two of them as a souvenir. At the same time, Chu Ming noticed that on the chest of Mi Lu's white uniform, there was a brooch hanging on the right, on which was marked with the head of an elk, which seemed to be Mi Lu's specially customized brooch.
At the same time, he also noticed that there was a golden bicycle magic card inserted in the left pocket of her uniform, which seemed to be a red heart tip, but this kind of bicycle magic card Chu Ming had never seen before, and the material should be made of metal, and it was also marked with strange patterns. I don't know what this metal playing card is for.
Mi Lu was performing other magic tricks, and he didn't notice that Chu Ming had been looking at himself, after stepping down, Chu Ming was still looking at the card, and he hadn't noticed it before he was on stage, but after seeing this card, he didn't know why he had a special feeling, he always felt that this card was not an ordinary card.
"Ahem!"
Shu Xiaoran, who was beside Chu Ming, saw that Chu Ming had been staring at Mi Lu's chest, and he didn't know if he was jealous, but sure enough, good-looking women can attract men.
"I haven't seen enough yet." Shu Xiaoran said to Chu Ming.
After Chu Ming heard this, he leaned closer to Shu Xiaoran's ears, looked at the magic card on Mi Lu's chest, and said to Shu Xiaoran: "Xiao Ran, don't you think the magic card on her chest is a little strange?" ”
Xiao Ran also looked at the card after Chu Ming finished speaking, and he really hadn't noticed this card before. But how could Shu Xiaoran, who was born as a forensic doctor, understand this, to say that Chu Ming is a computer expert and can understand all kinds of knowledge, but where would he read this.
"What's so strange about that?" Xiao Ran asked.
"I've seen some bicycle playing cards after some magicians perform magic tricks before, but this is the first time I've seen something like this metal with a strange pattern, and I always have a weird feeling, I guess it was specially made." Chu Ming replied.
"Bicycle playing cards?" Xiao Ran asked.
"Yes, Bicycle Rider Back, also known as Bicycle Rider Back, is the most popular playing card design among Americans, and with its excellent paper and exquisite production, it has also become the preferred brand for card magicians. Also known as a bicycle license plate, it is one of the most famous and popular brands of American playing card companies. Among the many designs of bicycle plates, the most common is the Rider Back design of the angel who is riding. The elasticity and feel of the cards are very good, and if you look at them clearly, you will notice that the surface of the cards is full of tiny pits, which is the secret to the smooth feel. Chu Ming replied.
After that, Chu Ming continued: "But it's the first time I've seen something like this made of metal with a strange pattern. ”
"Don't think about it so much, anyway, this trip hasn't been in vain, has it?" Shu Xiaoran said as he picked up the card in his hand that Mi Lu had given him just now. Chu Ming looked at it and smiled, could it be that the kiss of the god of love really came.
