Chapter 55: The Enhanced Alcana

On the last afternoon before the weekend, Lai Qixiao did not go out to work part-time, but stayed at home to help Dr. Asa make the props ordered by customers.

"I'm sorry for you, Ah Xiao! My friend said he was going to use it for tomorrow's show, so I had to ask you to help! ”

"It's okay, I'm also your assistant to the doctor!" Lai Qixiao said as he assembled the parts one by one according to the design drawings drawn by the doctor.

This time, Dr. Asasa made a hook gun that can often be seen in action movies. According to the customer's needs, the rope material used for this hook had to be extremely tough, able to climb in a straight position, and kept to a length of more than five meters.

"You don't use a lot of props, do you? What kind of guests need such props? Lai Qixiao asked curiously while helping Dr. Asa cut the materials.

"It was custom-made by a friend of mine for many years. He's a magician's assistant, but he's not very good at making props himself, so he asked me to prepare them. We've been trading this for quite some time now. ”

"Oh, I see, it's a magic show! No wonder you want to use such bells and whistles! Lai Qixiao responded, but in his heart he already understood that the person who ordered this prop was probably the Black Feather Kuaito he only met yesterday.

Tomorrow...... It seems that Kidd's operation is in the past few days. Lai Qixiao's heart moved, and he planned to pay more attention to related news recently.

While helping Dr. Asa make the hook gun, he also secretly kept the general structure of this prop in mind, the mechanical structure of the hook lock gun is not complicated, even if Lai Qixiao's skills are far inferior to Dr. Asasa, it can be reproduced after a certain amount of time.

When he came to Qixiao to make it himself, he used the materials for the production of the telescopic strap he collected a few days ago. In this way, he also has a telescopic hook gun that can be used in both the cognitive and real worlds.

"That's it!" After completing the final tests, Dr. Asa wiped the sweat from his forehead and laughed happily.

"It's really hard for you, Ah Xiao!"

"You're welcome, Doctor! And I didn't help you with anything either! But Doctor, I see you've been working in the studio all these days, so you're probably not just busy making such a small invention, right? ”

Faced with Lai Qixiao's doubts, Dr. Asa pretended to purse his lips and smile mysteriously. He put his hands behind his back and stepped back slowly.

"Actually, Ah Xiao. I've been making another invention these days. And this aspect can be regarded as a belated welcome gift from me for you! ”

With that, Dr. Asa pulled out a pair of roller skates hidden in the corner behind him.

"Ah Xiao, this is my ultra-high-speed roller shoe made especially for you! Despite its unremarkable appearance, in fact, I added two micro engines to its interior. Although the horsepower of these two engines cannot be compared to the turbo engine in your skateboard due to the lack of space, the explosive power will allow you to accelerate to the highest horsepower in an instant! ”

"Because I've already tuned the turbo skateboard, it was originally intended for Shinichi, and you probably will have to hand it over to Shinichi soon. So to make it up to you, I spent a few days making these roller skates. If you don't dislike it, take it! ”

"That's right! In fact, the engine and pulley parts of these skates are removable, so you can attach them to any pair of shoes you like. It's also easier to carry. How, is there anything you don't like? I could improve it more! ”

"Very satisfied! Thank you, Doctor! Lai Qixiao hurriedly took the pair of roller skates specially customized for him from Dr. Asasa, and his heart was shocked and moved. To his astonishment, Dr. Asa was able to mount not only engines on skateboards, but even shoes; What touched me was that he had never asked for the same treatment as Shinichi Kudo, who had been with Dr. Asasa for a longer time, but Dr. Asa still prepared this gift for him.

"I'll make good use of it! Thank you, Doctor! Lai Qixiao hugged the roller skates tightly. It was the first time since he crossed over that he had received a gift from someone else in the real world.

Time passed silently in the laughter of the old and the young. The sun is setting in the west, and the night is gradually opening.

Tonight, Lai Qixiao was invited into the velvet room by Eagle again.

"Welcome to my velvet room, guest. We haven't seen each other in days, have we? In the cell, Eagle crossed his hands and greeted Lai Qixiao, who had just woken up.

"Well, I haven't seen you in a few days. I met Ravenda in the real world yesterday. ”

"I know I've seen you and Ravenda's travels. Thank you for taking such good care of my junior secretary. So guest, I have asked you here again today to congratulate you. ”

"The beauty of human relations is that the power of the mind comes from the process of human contact with each other. Congratulations, thanks to your combined efforts with others, the power of the Hermit's Arcana has grown. ”

"Therefore, you deserve a more powerful personality mask."

Eagle handed the tuckling Tarot card of the hermit to Ravinda, who was on standby. Ravenda then opened the entire book of the Personality Mask and transferred the power of the seal on the pages into the tarot cards. A new personality mask was born.

Lai Qixiao took over the new hermit mask. For him, it was a gift from Dr. Asasa to him.

"Then guest, what follows is my personal gift for you." Eagle continued, "You must have learned from Ravenda about the crisis facing humanity and the devastated world with your own eyes. ”

"To support your rebellion, and to stop the destruction of humanity, I will once again raise the power you can wield in the real world."

Eagle pulled the flickering fool card out of the tarot card, crushed it into a point of light, and sent it into Qi Xiao's heart.

"From now on, when you move around the Rift, you can summon some of the form or power of the Personality Mask. Although you still can't fully summon it at the moment, this power will still add to your career. ”

"Next is my thank you gift for your guest." After Iger, Ravenda stepped up again.

"As we agreed before, after your power grows, I will dedicate this 'power' of Alcana to you."

Ravenda spread out her young palms, and the tarot cards of power floating on them condensed from the illusory into a substance. Also after imprinting the power of the personality mask, it was sent into the hands of Lai Qixiao.
