Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Opening
And now that Sokolovsky has left her and run alone, this reasoning is further confirmed.
Sokolovsky wasn't the key to solving the curse, the town was.
That's why the price of the trick is so "low".
Because there are so many circles, ordinary people can't think of this layer at all, and it is easy to misunderstand, and then they are killed by Sokolovsky.
And now, Anna is more concerned about Andres.
If it was a supernatural object he manipulated, then why did he stand motionless like a puppeteer when there was a mutation?
The candle was blown out, and the owner knew it was going to be re-lit.
When such a powerful supernatural object was disturbed, how did he react?
This is absolutely unconscionable.
Based on this, Anna ventured to guess that Andres might not be a user of the paranormal items.
He may have become one with the supernatural object himself.
So when the supernatural item is affected, he himself will be affected. But Anna had never seen anything like this, she had only been awake for a short time, and she had not had much contact with supernatural objects.
If this supernatural object has a deep connection with Andrés, then how can he take it away?
Will killing him cause the resurgence of the paranormal item?
These are all very difficult questions, and Anna will have to be patient and observe them for a while.
Anyway, the town has been like this for a few months, running very steadily, and even if it was just messed up by Sokolovsky, it quickly repaired itself.
The most important thing is that the supernatural object must be imprisoned as soon as possible.
The golden cloak on Anna's body was just enough to do.
But the properties of this item are too peculiar, especially in space, which is one of the reasons why Anna has never dared to act rashly.
If the grass startles the snake and the source of the supernatural escapes, where will she find it?
This is already the best opportunity.
While she weighed the pros and cons, there was finally a hint of movement on the stage.
Between the spotlights under the plank, suddenly separated.
The audience immediately cooperated and exclaimed.
The plank, which had been nailed to death, opened its mouth as if it had become a living person, and spat out a person from below.
Then close the gap before the person lands, so that the person who comes out can stand firmly.
This person is naturally Andres.
I saw that he was wearing a black tuxedo, but there was no high hat on his head, and a bright rose was inserted in the bag on his chest.
Unlike the sluggishness just now, Andres is full of energy at this moment.
After he landed, he first rotated 360 degrees on the spot to bow to the audience, and then greeted the audience with a warm smile:
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the tour of Magician Andres, today I am in the city center for the first time, the scenery is very beautiful, the people are very welcoming, I will definitely bring you the best show."
As soon as the words fell, the audience erupted in thunderous applause.
"Andres, we love you!"
"I can't wait!"
Anna wanted to plug her ears, the earth-shattering cry had rattled her golden cloak.
"Does this supernatural object still understand narcissism? It's all puppets you control, why are they so fake? ”
Bursts of cheers continued to torment Anna, and the expression on her face was almost as uncomfortable as constipation.
Finally, Andres pressed his hand down and motioned for the audience to stop cheering.
He took the rose out of his pocket and gently pinched a petal, "Many people know that my biggest dream is to put on a great performance and be recognized by the audience, especially by a very weighty audience. ”
"I've gone from the West Coast to the East Coast, from Florida to the Great Lakes, and all I'm looking for is recognition, the audience's recognition. A voice told me that today's audience is very weighty, and as long as you cheer loudly, that's all I need! ”
With that, Andres threw out the petals he was holding.
This small petal, if held up by an invisible palm, floats all the way from the stage to the top of the theater.
Then Andres snapped his fingers.
I heard a bang, and the flower suddenly burst open.
Countless rose petals fluttered down and floated onto everyone's shoulders.
The audience involuntarily picked up the petal, but as soon as their hands touched the petal, the latter suddenly disappeared.
Then a whole rose appeared in their other hand.
"Wow-"
"It's amazing!"
"How is this done?"
There were no petals falling from the golden cloak, it was just an illusion caused by supernatural powers.
But Anna was getting more and more puzzling.
"Why, exactly? We must go to great lengths to lock down the town, put these people on fake stages, force them to watch meaningless so-called performances made purely by supernatural powers, and then force them to cheer......"
"That's not right...... This is not the pattern of behavior that paranormal objects should have......"
"The essence of supernatural items is that their power also comes from tricks, and the rules of trick behavior can't be so complicated......"
"There must be some details in this that I left out......"
Anna's brow furrowed, and she kept switching between different angles in the room through the mirror.
Particular attention was paid to Andres on stage.
Grabbing his cane, he lit a tree that grew out of the stage, and then an audience member appeared out of thin air and disappeared.
As the performance progressed, the climax on the stage was repeated, and the enthusiasm of the audience was completely ignited, and the applause was higher and higher.
And Anna has finally discovered the blind spot!
It's the cane!
Anna discovers that no matter what kind of performance she performs, Andres always has a cane in her hand.
It is reasonable to say that when a person goes out, he carries a cane that does not leave his hand.
But now it's show time, and a magician is showing off his skills on stage, but he still clutches the cane, which is a little confused.
What's even more strange is that when Andres performs the most traditional magic trick - the card game, it turns out to be a one-handed shuffle and cut of cards.
In the other hand, he still held the cane.
This made Anna wonder what was wrong with the cane.
At the same time, Anna also noticed a very inconspicuous detail.
When Andres speaks and moves, the palm of his hand is held in the silver part of the cane.
As the performance progresses, Andres' palms reach forward slightly, allowing his fingers to touch the wooden cane.
Once those bells and whistles were over, at halftime, Andres quickly retracted his cane and let his fingers off the cane.
