Time flies, and more than half a year has passed.

During this period, everything is calm, but a 'magical' undercurrent is surging - the international magic competition is already in the preparation stage.

When the news came out that day, Ye Qingfeng enthusiastically introduced to Shen Xuejiao how he saw the news in a magazine and how rich the prize was......

Shen Xuejiao remembered that he had been excited about this for a long time.

There are two main reasons for the excitement.

First of all, Fengjiao's bar has lost a lot of money, to the point where it is unsustainable, and if they can show their mark in the magic competition, they can bring a lot of traffic to the bar.

Secondly, Ye Qingfeng doesn't have any special hobbies on weekdays, except for the study of supernatural magic, so he just took this opportunity to experience the strength of a magician.

Especially after the organizers used Minjiang City as a pilot for the city audition, Ye Qingfeng began to gear up, looking forward to winning the championship of the city competition.

Winning the City Race, do you think it's over?

No

The capitalists haven't made enough money.

You will get a contract with a magic club, become a contracted magician under the club, and join the magic team to participate in the national team play-in tournament and the national top 16...... Won a national first prize.

Do you think that's the end of it?

No way!

The capitalists will not agree.

After your magic team wins the national championship, you will also have to accept the invitation to the continental competition, enter the continental play-in tournament, and win the continental championship.

It's not too late, the real journey has just begun.

The top four Magic teams in the continental competition will be seeded in the first Occult League International League.

It is no exaggeration to say that regardless of popularity or professionalism, the current 'Magic Talent' city competition is far more than 100 times more popular than even the 'Super Girl Fast Man' that swept the country back then, not to mention the intercontinental competitions and leagues behind.

For ordinary people, as long as you enter the quarterfinals of the city competition, it is enough to prove your commercial value, sign a club company, win a few good rankings, endorse commercial brands, and tour nationally and even globally.

And the top three in each stage have a prize money, with 500,000 yuan for the city champion, 5 million for the national champion, and more than 70 million dollars for the global championship.

You have to know that this is just the official prize pool, it's something on the table.

The handicap under the table is obviously even more amazing, that is, even the gamblers of 'fighting', 'e-sports', 'NBA', and 'World Cup' have focused their eyes.

They held all their belongings in their hands and stared directly at the contestants, each with two words written on their faces: Bole!

But, who is the real Maxima?

Before the championship is born, anyone can become a maxima, including the 'CP' combination of Ye Qingfeng and Shen Xuejiao.

You may wonder, since when did magic become a torrent in people's cultural and spiritual realm?

In fact, whether it is the 'World Cup' that makes hundreds of millions of people forget to sleep and eat, this kind of sports event......

Or the crazy and focused 'beauty pageant', this kind of talent show......

If you look at them from the perspective of social psychology, you will find that they are all the same in essence, but in different forms.

As a way of life for human beings, competition has existed for tens of thousands of years, which can bring human beings the psychological function of 'escape', allowing us to escape from our ordinary and boring life state and enter another colorful world.

It's like people who watch the World Cup don't necessarily like football.

People who watch beauty contests don't necessarily like women.

After all

The majority of female compatriots are not all gay,

This proves that people like to watch games, just out of a kind of 'escapism' mentality, to free themselves from their spirits.

With this foundation,

Later, there will be 'sociality', 'beauty', 'detachment', 'entertainment', etc., which will make people's emotions fluctuate with the schedule.

So,

But when the player who likes and supports loses, people will be heartbroken, and if they win, they will get carried away.

even

Even national hatred and nationalism can be involved,

Interesting?

That's the beauty of the event.

It's just that the singing, dancing, fighting and fighting in the past have long been flooded, and people are tired of watching crookedly, and everyone likes new and exciting things.

Then the capitalists found through investigation that in many talent shows such as 'Talent Show', magic seems to be more able to meet people's psychology, and it itself has higher requirements for technology, which is not inferior to competitive activities such as sports and e-sports.

So after a series of capital operations, the world's major magic associations were connected to create a 'Global Occult Alliance' host brand.

A 'magical' undercurrent is coming.

Then, the major radio stations competed with each other, doing everything they could, and the large, medium and small capital markets injected capital one after another, pushing this "entertainment boom" to the extreme and pushing it to the peak of popularity.

Print media such as newspapers and magazines also gave this kind of competition great heat, and eventually formed a tsunami that swept the world.

Countless magic club companies have sprung up, signing magicians, expanding their strength, and building brands.

Among them,

Someone will surely make a lot of money,

Someone is bound to lose a mess,

There are also people who have gained fame and fortune and become a legend of the times, which is the goal of countless contestants.

The content of the competition is divided into eight categories: 'telepathy', 'general magic', 'innovative magic', 'illusion', 'comedy magic', 'small magic', 'close-up magic', and 'playing cards'.

Ye Qingfeng's magic belongs to the 'innovation magic'.

He combines supernatural elements with magic in order to bring a strong psychological and visual sense to the audience.

But this is far from enough, Shen Xuejiao integrated the elements of opera on this basis, using singing and music to express the plot, enhancing the artistry of the stage performance.

In the end, Shen Xuejiao also used her own sub-space, and the two performed a scene of great change on the stage, which advanced to the finals.

And the next round of 16 group stage will become extremely cruel.

In the days that followed, the two devoted themselves to the new entry, and after rehearsals and rehearsals, none of them could get a solution.

After all, the trick of 'changing people' can only be used once, and magic is about innovation, and there is no such thing as eating all over the world.

And that night, the fate of the two ushered in a new turning point.

In her sleep, Shen Xuejiao was suddenly woken up by an exclamation, and she saw Ye Qingfeng lying beside her, her eyes full of fear.

At that time, Shen Xuejiao really thought that Ye Qingfeng was sleepwalking.

Then she found out that this might be Ye Qingfeng's first personality back.

Although she has been sketching for this moment for a long time, when she really waits for this day, Shen Xuejiao doesn't know how to make this personality accept herself.

At this moment, God gave her a chance.

As soon as this personality returned, he broke his head and fell into a detached fugue.

Isn't this a godsend?

Shen Xuejiao was not polite at the moment, she simply pretended to be Ye Qingfeng's girlfriend, and justifiably cultivated her love into a positive result.

That is, in the two days that Ye Qingfeng was hospitalized, Shen Xuejiao met a middle-aged woman in the next ward.

This woman claimed to be the 'contractor' of the previous generation who had the seal of 'gluttony', and now her ascension was imminent, waiting for her successor.

After explaining a few things, the young woman downloaded an app on her phone, which is a radar that detects anomalous dark matter, which is considered the standard equipment of the 'contractor'.

According to the severity and urgency of the paranormal event, the warning signal is generally divided into four levels (IV., III., II., I.), which represent average, heavier, severe and particularly severe, and will also display coordinates and be equipped with a special navigation system.

Normal-level ghosts are difficult to affect humans, and the blue warning is negligible, but above yellow is a more serious supernatural event, which will kill people.

That night, a yellow warning appeared on Shen Xuejiao's radar, and under the guidance of the navigation system, she came to the murderous mansion in the suburbs.

According to the experience taught by her predecessors, Shen Xuejiao got in touch with the owner as a supernatural researcher, and the other party was also worried about this house, and expressed his willingness to pay 300,000 yuan to settle the matter.

Shen Xuejiao naturally readily agreed, but it happened that the bar was in a mess, and the 300,000 yuan was simply a sweet spring in the desert.

Moreover, the powerful ghost can control the dark energy of the positive space, and if this ghost can be subdued, then it will be no problem to advance to the top eight of the magic competition.

But this money is definitely not so easy to earn, according to the senior, the general warning level is yellow, and most of them have formed a ghost domain.

They can inhabit humans or other things, absorb the surrounding dark energy, and condense into a high-dimensional space field.

This space field is called the Ghost Domain!

If you can find the 'host' directly, you can eradicate the future trouble by burning it, but in practice, the early warning radar can only show an approximate area, and it is difficult for you to directly find the ghost's 'host'.

At this time, you must enter the ghost realm in order to find out the specific location of the ghost's 'host'.

But do ghosts make you that happy?

As the saying goes, 'people know that ghosts are terrifying, and ghosts know people's hearts are poisonous', ghosts themselves are dark matter freed from human bodies, and it can also be said that human beings have risen to an evolutionary species of one dimension, and they are unwilling to be annihilated out of various obsessions, once you cover the absolute realm, the ghost will know that you are a threat, and it is too late to hide from you, how can you enter his ghost domain, so as to know his weaknesses?

You can only close the Absolute Realm and disarm it all, so that the ghost will be willing to see you and let you enter its ghost realm.

But after entering, you will find a very terrifying thing: you seem to have entered a dream, the script of this dream is determined by a ghost, it can trap you on a staircase, let you experience all the horrors on this staircase, and an infinite loop, consume your will, until you are played to death, and even the absolute realm can not protect you, this is the dimensionality reduction effect.

Whether it is the 'ghost domain' or the 'absolute domain' of the contractor, they are all sub-spaces, like two balloons, whoever puts in it first, whose dimension is higher.

You have entered the territory of the ghost, it is a high-dimensional creature, and you are a low-dimensional creature, at this time you open the absolute realm, just like the balloon that is loaded in, no matter how inflated, the balloon outside will also be expanded, and your subspace is always covered and superimposed, and it is suppressed.

What's even more terrifying is that even if you die, you will become its slave, and you will never be reborn in the ghost domain forever!

Therefore, at this time, there must be the presence of the 'immortal bird', the 'immortal bird' itself exists in the space of a god dimension, the power of reincarnation is not limited by space, no matter how many people die and how tragic the consequences are, the 'immortal bird' can reverse the future and start over, which is equivalent to a retracement point.

So Shen Xuejiao deceived Ye Qingfeng, the 'immortal bird', and planned to go to the ghost domain to find the 'host' first, if something happened to her, she could tell Ye Qingfeng the location of the 'host', so that he could go back to before the two of them entered the murderous mansion, and then he could go straight to the Yellow Dragon.
