826 Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse
Sunday.
At night.
Daniel carried a satchel and shuttled through the lively streets of Mong Kok, all the way to the downstairs of 45 Portland Street.
It's an old-fashioned house, with only a rusty iron gate at the entrance, and many red signs next to it.
Massage, Wellness, White-collar Workers, Students......
Different items on the lantern board are marked with different prices, and the bottom map still uses the photo of this year's Miss Hong Kong Island.....
"Oh, what a great place."
Daniel flapped the cards in his hand and suddenly saw a familiar figure: "Hey, Henry." β
Henry stood opposite, holding a cup of coffee in her hand, shrugged her shoulders and smiled, "Danny, obviously, you received the cards too, right?" β
βyesγβ
Henry raised an eyebrow and walked first into the iron door, down the narrow staircase, step by step up the building.
She used to be Daniel's acting assistant and a couple of lovers who accompanied each other. However, Daniel's desire to control is too strong to give Henry a chance to achieve herself. Now she has set her own door and is an independent master of magic.
"Hey, it might be dangerous inside, you should let me go up first." Daniel shouted from behind him, and at the same time, he carried his satchel and hurried after Henry.
Along the way, the two of them still wanted to quarrel as before, and in the midst of bickering, they walked through the floors of buildings, and finally stopped in front of a wooden door on the sixth floor.
It seems that Daniel still hasn't controlled his desire to control, and at the same time, he hasn't let go of his liking for Henry, and has been paying attention to Henry's personal website and recent performance schedule.
But there are three important reasons why they would choose to park in front of the sixth floor.
First of all, there is a celestial eye symbol on the door.
Secondly, in front of the door stood a famous master mind reader.
Finally, the fifth floor below is a massage parlor with red lights and sitting girls.
No matter how you look at it, I think the sixth floor is more reliable.
"It's hidden in the city, and I think it's going to be fun." The master of mind reading, "Merritt", wore a hat, looked at the two newcomers, sighed softly, and soon walked up to Henry, wanting to perform his mind reading skills on him.
Daniel and Henry recognized Merritt's identity at a glance.
Daniel shook his head, walked to the door and began to look at the keyhole, hoping to open the wooden door.
After all, if the wooden door hadn't been locked, the mind-reading master in front of him would have gone in and crossed Erlang's legs and drank Bing Kuangle.
As he fiddled with the lock, Merritt smiled and sighed to Henry, "Unfortunately, it seems that I am not the only one who has been chosen." β
"Let me guess the identity of my new friend."
Henry took her coffee and looked at each other with a smile and a smile.
Soon, Merritt guessed with a little thought: "Helen? No, it's Henry. β
Henry tilted her head and put on a puzzled expression.
Daniel kicked the door in front of him, turned to her, and said, "The coffee cup says it." β
On Henry's coffee cup, the waiter's name is signed. She raised her coffee cup, took a sip of coffee, and shook it at Merritt in front of her, who held her forehead and sighed, "Daniel, you're not funny at all, no wonder you're dumped." β
"Damn."
"I know who you are, please put away that boring mind-reading trick."
"I don't know what kind of premeditation the mysterious person who called us here is here, and we need to keep cooperating."
"I'm Daniel. Atlas! The only protagonist on the magic table! β
Daniel stood beside Henry, and after introducing himself, he took the initiative to extend his hand to Merritt in front of him. Unexpectedly, Merritt shook his hand to make a handshake motion, but before the two shook hands, he raised his hand and raised a middle finger.
Although the three of them have never known each other, they are all well-known masters in the American magic world, and they have always heard each other's names and know some basic etiquette in the magic world.
I saw that Daniel unceremoniously raised a middle finger at Merritt, and the two said hello.
Just as the three of them were about to end their chat, a young man in a leather jacket suddenly appeared at the staircase, and looked at the three with an excited expression and shouted, "Wow, Daniel. Atlas! I've seen all of your performances! β
"I adore you so much, I'm your fan, I don't know how to describe it, my name is Jack."
Jack spread his hands and walked up to the three of them step by step, looking very excited.
"Well, it looks like you're really a fan of mine, nice to meet you."
Daniel took two steps forward and shook hands with Jack warmly, while Merritt, who was standing behind him, took out a card and asked, "Excuse me, you also got this card?" β
The three people present are all famous, but Jack is unknown, and out of caution, he needs to verify his identity.
I believe that Jack also understands this, bent down and took out a card, and only after showing it did he nod his head, "yes." β
"I'm this card, I'm the Grim Reaper!"
"Priestess."
Henry then conjured a card from his hand and held it up for the three to see.
"Eros!"
Daniel took out the card from the back of his ass and showed it to the three people next to him.
"I'm a hermit!"
Merritt took out his cards and told each other about their identities, and the four of them were already there, including the god of love, the god of death, the hermit, and the priestess.
Jack put away the cards and asked curiously, "Why don't you go in?" β
"Because the door won't open."
Daniel smiled, took a step sideways, and made way for an aisle in front of the door.
Sure enough, Jack wiped his hands, slapped the card and stepped forward to respond: "No, there is no door in this world that cannot be opened." β
Then Jack stepped forward and took out a wire, and after gently prieing it, he opened the lock cylinder inside, and then, as soon as he pushed the door, the wooden door was opened.
As he expected, this sealed door was not only to prevent unrelated people from entering, but also to allow the four of them to gather and let them enter the door together.
"Let's go in and have a look."
Daniel turned on a small flashlight and led the three of them into the room one after another.
The room is classically decorated with a magical sign on the wooden floor, recessed into the floor.
In front of the sign, there is a white rose and a postcard.
"You can't see him......"
Daniel picked up the postcard, shone his flashlight on the cardboard, and read it out in English, and Henry, as the only lady, bent down to pick up the white rose from the ground, threw it into a glass bottle in front of her, and read out a ballad: "Roses don't smell because of their name." β
"Jingle Bell."
The moment the rose is inserted into the vase, the water in the vase begins to slowly decrease, flowing out of the bottom of the bottle and entering the groove in the ground little by little.
When the water filled the groove, a puff of white smoke emerged from the floor and instantly filled the room.
"Wow, there's gas spilling out."
"Don't worry, it's just dry ice."
"That's cool, what do you think is going on?"
The four of them stood in all four directions, watching the reaction in the room, and their hearts became very excited.
"Let me think about ......"
Matri tilted his head into a thoughtful look, but soon he returned to normal, laughing and laughing, "I'm sorry, I didn't think of anything. β
"Hehe, thank you for wasting five seconds of our time." After Daniel scoffed, everyone began to fumble around for items in the room.
Because they have already guessed how many elaborate mechanisms there are in this room, or when the mechanisms are opened, the mystery will be revealed.
"No, I just want to give you more time to think."
Merritt looked back at the window, and suddenly reached out and closed the curtains.
Daniel stood by the wall, wiggling the light switch up and down and asked, "Why is there no electricity here?" β
"Perhaps!"
Henry stepped on the chair and reached out to move the chandelier on the ceiling...... After screwing the light bulb tightly, as if turning on a switch, the four corners of the entire room shoot out rays of light.
These rays hit the dry ice in the room, and immediately appear as a three-dimensional projection......
Whew!
Scenes of precision flickered in the room, and four people stood in the room, looking at the picture inexplicably, and suddenly said: "This show!" β
"It's also the assessment that we join Tianyan!"
Divine eye!
A legendary organization in the world of magic!
It is said to have originated in the Middle Ages, and was originally only a circus of the Roman royal family, responsible for the banquet performances of the court. Later, it developed into a secret society and successfully assassinated many tyrants in history, which has a history of thousands of years.
Only the best and most thoughtful magicians are invited to join the Celestial Eye Magic Club.
"Civilians first" is the concept of Tianyan.
Almost every newcomer who has just stepped into the magic world will have heard the legend of Tianyan from the mouth of the master.
Just like every old boy who joins the triad, he will have heard the story of the ancestor uprising.
Because of this, after the four of them received the cards from Tianyan, they would not hesitate to cross the ocean from the United States to Hong Kong Island to get together.
Although I have been looking forward to it in my heart, I really didn't expect that there ..... a very positive eye in the world!
This grand magic show is undoubtedly the assessment of their joining Tianyan.
Justice!
Truth in falsehood!
The seriousness behind the absurd!
After the footage in the room stopped, Daniel reached out and touched an icon in the center to get their names - the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse!
"Hey? Friends! β
"What was the gift from the audience?" Daniel suddenly stopped his hand and turned to the three of them to ask a question.
"Is seeing really believing?"
"The more you see, the more gullible you become."
"The audience gave us the best gift...... It's their attention! β
Merritt, Henry, Jack, one by one, utter one of the most famous quotes in the world of magic.
Boom! The lights in the room went out suddenly, and Daniel threw the cards in his hand into the sky......
This well-designed performance, and the resources used behind it, are definitely not something that can be done in a short period of time. Not only is there a huge amount of money behind it, but it also needs to be designed at least years in advance.
