Chapter 205: A Perfect Performance
Since when have magicians who can control space become ubiquitous on the streets?
Eric immediately linked the phoenix butterfly that had appeared not long ago with the magician in front of him.
So he asked Huruk: "Where was Batev on the first Thursday of last month?"
Truuk was stunned, as if he had guessed that Butev was listed as a target of suspicion by the detective in front of him: "Why do you suddenly ask such a question? Mr. Batev, he can't be a bad person." β
"Please answer me, it's important. Eric looked sincere.
Since Mr. Butoff isn't a bad guy, it doesn't hurt to tell Eric. That's probably what Churuk thought. So although she was reluctant, she finally began to think in her memory: "At the beginning of last month...... Unfortunately, at that time our regiment was in a state of stagnation, and something went wrong. β
"Condition?"
"At that time, Iyeta was kidnapped, and the circus performance came to a standstill for a long time. In the end, it was Batev who rescued her. Trust me, that's terrible. β
"Iyeta kidnapped?!"
Eric exclaimed when he heard the news.
It doesn't matter who the other person is or what their purpose is.
First of all, Iyeta is a vampire.
Kidnapping an adult vampire is probably not an easy task, especially if the deputy head Connie is still a witch and the wizard Butev is also in the group.
Intrigued, Eric inquired further.
"I don't know, you can go ask Butef and Connie. But I guess the kidnappers probably weren't for the money, because we didn't get any messages of extortion for money. β
Well, put that aside for now. In the end, Ieta was rescued by Batev, and that was enough. He wanted to confirm something else now.
"Wait...... So on the day I mentioned, Butev was trying to find a way to rescue Iyeta and wasn't in the circus, was he?"
Eric didn't give up his suspicion of Butif because he had done a good deed.
"God, that's true, but he's here to save people!"
Truuk was puzzled by Eric's obsession.
Eric only cared that Butif really didn't have an alibi.
......
Batev's show isn't over yet.
Most of the audience was still immersed in the animal show just now, which made them look forward to the amazing journey ahead.
Two cabinet-like boxes were pushed onto the stage by assistants and several sparsely dressed girls, on which question marks could be seen painted in black and white. Butef then asked his assistant to rotate the two boxes so that the audience could see that there was nothing to be done around the boxes.
Eric roughly guessed what kind of magic he was going to do.
"Dear guests, who would like to participate in my magic tricks? Please raise your hand for me to see!"
Batev warmly invited.
The audience seems to have seen a similar magic trick, which is the kind of magic that makes people enter the box, then uses many knives to insert it through the outside of the box, and then opens the door to see that the person is not inside.
This kind of magic tends to be unexpected. But even so, there are still very few daring guests.
Everyone didn't want to take the slightest risk, after all, if the magic failed, they would be pierced into a hedgehog.
The scene was at an impasse for a while.
"No one?"
"I'm coming!" Before the words could be finished, a large man stood up in the front row suddenly. The crowd hurriedly focused their eyes on the warrior.
Eric recognized him.
Hunk Gamborough.
Next to him, another big man, Galahad, who was inseparable from him, sat there.
It turned out that they also bought tickets to see the circus. The two big guys were almost everywhere, and Eric speculated that they were on a sightseeing trip to Pelos, as they were trying novelties that were only available to Pelos.
"Thank you for this strong gentleman, I admire your courage. Let's applaud him! It's because of his bravery that we're going to have the next show. β
Batev summoned Gambol to the stage.
The audience clapped their hands sparsely.
In fact, they would prefer to see how the circus ends when magic fails.
"Come on, Gamborough!" cheered him on, his companion Galahad.
"I will, Galahad. Gamborough waved enthusiastically at the crowd around him, as if he were the magician who wanted to do magic.
Butef told Gamborough to go into a box, but it took him a long time to stuff his entire body into it due to the size of the big man.
"Alright, please keep your eyes open!"
Butef took out a black spherical object with a thread from his back and told Gambol to take it as he entered the box. Then he turned over and took out a match, lit it, and lit the thread on the sphere.
Wait, that orb looks like a bomb.
While Gambol and the audience were still stunned, Butoff quickly pushed Gamborough's hand in and closed the door, and by the way, he also fastened the clasp.
This is telling you one thing: yes, it's a bomb. The big guy is now holding a bomb in his hand and is locked in a sealed box.
Boom β
An explosion sounded, and black smoke billowed from the cracks in the box.
But the box was sturdy and did not be blown apart. But does it really matter who goes in? The audience is more or less worried.
Knowing that Butif was a mage, Eric knew that the teleportation skill would leave the big man unscathed, and that he would most likely be sent to another chest that didn't explode.
Magician Butev motioned for silence, his hand resting on the door again, and he paused for five seconds.
Until the hearts of the audience were raised to their throats.
"Witness the miracle!" he opened the door as he said these five words.
Wow - the remaining black smoke poured out, and the big man inside was gone.
Empty boxes.
Although the audience expected this result, they still did not hesitate to applaud and whistle.
Butef bent down and saluted: "So, where is that gentleman?"
As he spoke, he walked towards another box not far away.
At this point, the audience couldn't wait to see the missing guy.
Wheels are installed under both boxes, and there is a distance from the ground, so it is impossible for people to escape the eyes of the audience and enter and exit from the bottom. If Bateff really moved a live audience member from one box to another, it would be nothing less than a miracle.
Wave after wave of cheers.
Finally, Butev put his hand on the door of the second box again and shouted those five words at the same time!
"Witness the miracle!"
The door openedβ
In front of everyone's eyes, a guy with a black body appeared in the box.
His face, in particular, looked as if he had just come out of a coal mine in the west, and the clothes in front of him were torn in many places.
It seems that he was still hit by a bomb......
Well, that's right. The audience nodded, finally sorting out the scene in their minds into information.
Blunder?
No, how could such a powerful magician make a mistake in a magic trick where human life is at stake. Recall the magician's style, he must have done it deliberately to create a comedic effect, and the guy who got into the box was eighty percent of Butf's pre-arranged childcare.
The audience, who understood this, burst into laughter while applauding wildly.
The magic worked!
Of course, some people don't think so.
Eric didn't think that the big guy he'd seen earlier would help the magician do his magician's trick.
The only explanation is that Batev did not tell poor Gmbol beforehand what he was going to do. And if that's the case, the magician might be in trouble.
"Bastard, look what you've done, you've broken the new shirt I just bought!"
Really.
Gamborough roared and walked towards the culprit who had made him look like this, which drew more laughter from the audience.
Looking at the "black" guy approaching him step by step, Butev stepped back, his face not very good-looking: "Believe me, it was a complete accident. β
In the audience, Galahad, who saw Gamboler's grievances, also stood up and walked towards the middle of the field. This made Butev feel bad, and his apology seemed to be unable to cope with the two menacing big guys, and his body was probably going to be in unbearable pain if he continued like this.
Luckily, he had another way.
I saw Butef turn around and run a few steps, get into the previous box, and close the door from the inside.
Only moments later, Gamborough, who was roaring and rushing over, violently opened the same door.
And there was nothing in it except air.
Realizing something, Gamborough hurriedly pointed to another box: "Galahad, go." β
Just like just now, the magician will use some mysterious power to connect the spaces of the two chests. So, that box is where he's most likely to come next.
Galahad hurried to the door of the second box and pulled it open.
There was nothing inside.
The magician is gone.
The two big men looked at each other, looking like two silly brown bears. The audience was completely blown away, cheering for the magician, and at the same time cheering for the two big guys who brought everyone a laugh.
A group of assistants rushed to the stage to bow the curtain call, and the curtain was lowered at the right time, covering the still angry big guys.
Nice ending!
In the midst of unfulfilled expectations, Butev's magic debut at Pelos came to an end.
