Becoming a Phantom Thief from the World of American Comics.

Chapter 76 The closer you look, the less you look (please collect! Please follow up!)

On the other side, Gotham High School, the campus dance scene.

Rather than saying that this is the scene of a campus dance, it would be more appropriate to say that it is Dean Suston's magic show.

Because at this time, nearly half of the students gathered on the lawn, which was supposed to be a resting place, but the regular activity place seemed a little sparsely populated.

On the lawn, countless students surrounded Dean in the center, the innermost circles were almost all girls, and most of the boys stayed on the outside.

It's hard to imagine how the girls squeezed in.

This was the first time this had happened since Gotham High School had a school dance tradition.

In the center of the crowd, Dean took out a deck of cards and asked loudly.

"Now I need the cooperation of an audience member to perform the next magic trick well. Is there any student who volunteers?"

As soon as they heard Dean's words, the girls around immediately boiled up, raised their hands and yelled frantically: "Me! Me! Look at me!"

The one who yelled the most was Lucy, who was closest to Dean. She was deeply impressed by Dean's performance just now, and she wanted to experience it again.

"I'm sorry, Miss Lucy, although I'd be happy to cooperate with you again, but it's best to leave the opportunity to others now."

Dean smiled and shook his head at her.

He glanced around and found that everyone raised their hands high, and suddenly said distressed.

"The enthusiasm is so high, everyone seems to want to be my helper, it's really hard to pick just one,"

After thinking about it, Dean closed his eyes and said, "For the sake of fairness, I'll just order one at random."

Dean, with his eyes closed, began to turn around in circles.

One lap, two laps, three laps...

After turning around a few times, he suddenly stopped and stretched out his fingers straight ahead.

Then he opened his eyes and saw that the one he pointed to was a girl with brown medium-length hair and a slender figure.

Coincidentally, Dean also knew this girl, named Ava, who was his classmate and was once one of his suitors.

"It seems that God wants you to help me complete this magic trick, Ava, please come here."

Dean smiled and extended the invitation to Ava.

Ava's face was flushed with powder, her eyes were shining with gold, and she seemed very excited.

She trotted to Dean and asked expectantly, "Dean, what do you need me to do?"

Dean showed her the deck of playing cards in his hand, and said, "I will start remaking later, I need you to see and remember a card inside."

"Is... just that?"

Ava said with disappointment in her eyes, before Dean and Lucy borrowed roses and asked about their favorite color, and finally held up Dean's top hat with their own hands, and she fantasized that she could have similar treatment.

Imagine, that's the top hat that Dean himself wore!
If she can hold that hat, she swears she won't wash her hands tonight!
In the end, she didn't expect her task to be as simple as memorizing a card.

Dean didn't know that the girl in front of him had such rich mental activities. He held the playing cards with his left hand and placed them in front of Ava, while his right hand placed them on top of the deck.

"Ready? I'm going to flop now."

Although she was a little disappointed in her heart, Ava quickly entered the state, and she didn't want Dean to misunderstand herself.

"Well, I'm ready."

Ava nodded, indicating that she was ready.

I saw Dean use his right hand to lift the top half of the entire deck of cards, and then flipped through it quickly.

Ava only vaguely saw a spade, and passed without even seeing the number clearly.

"Is it a little too fast, it doesn't matter, let's do it again."

Dean also seemed to realize that the card flop was too fast just now, so he repeated the action just now, at a slightly slower speed.

wow wow wow-

A deck of cards was quickly turned over.

This time Ava finally saw the card clearly, a ten of spades, and she kept this card in her heart.

"Dean, do I need to name that card?"

Ava asked.

"No, don't say it first, especially don't let me know which card you saw."

Dean smiled and shook his head.

He shuffled the playing cards, and then randomly made a Pandora cut.

Then, the deck of playing cards was fanned out in front of Ava's eyes, each card was clearly visible, and there were no overlapping cards.

"Now see if there is the card you just saw in it."

Ava opened her eyes and looked carefully, and found that there were all kinds of cards in it, except for a ten of spades missing.

But she was pretty sure she had seen the ten of spades just now.

Ava shook her head in surprise and said, "I didn't see it."

"You didn't see it because you looked too close."

Dean said mysteriously, "What did I just say? When you look closer..."

"The less you'll see!"

Lucy next to her rushed to answer.

"well said."

Dean nodded, and then suddenly threw the poker cards in his hand into the sky.

The surrounding audience all looked up at the sky, and then they were deeply shocked by what they saw.

I saw that the teaching building opposite with all the lights turned off suddenly turned on the lights.

Not all lights are turned on at the same time, and only a small number of classroom lights are turned on on each floor.

And if you connect all the lit classrooms together, you will see a huge "Ten of Spades".

The impact of this scene was too great, and everyone was shocked from ear to ear.

Of course, Ava was the most shocked, because only she knew which card she just saw.

"Now, Ava, you can tell me what that card you see is."

Dean spread his hands, motioning for Ava to give the final answer.

Unexpectedly, when he spread his hands, Ava rushed over and hugged Dean's waist.

"Ten of Spades, what I see is a Ten of Spades!"

Ava yelled excitedly.

It's just that the minds of the girls around are no longer on the poker.

"Shet! Ava, you bitch, who gave you permission to hug Dean!"

"Let go of him! Let me do it!"

"What did you say? Dean's mine!"

"I don't care! Since Ava can hold Dean, so can I!"

I don't know who took the lead, all the girls around rushed towards Dean, all of them were vicious, like hungry wolves.

"Hey, hey...don't come here!"

At the same time, the teaching building.

Dick was sweating profusely on the fence on the tenth floor. It took him a lot of energy to make mechanisms on the light switches in each classroom in a hurry.

Looking down at Dean who was overwhelmed by countless girls, Dick thought extremely unbalanced in his heart: "Damn! How did I remember that I was the one who wanted to use magic to pick up girls in the first place!"

"Why is it now Dean's solo show? Instead, I want to help him perform magic tricks?"
