I'm playing tricks in the world of mythology

Chapter 203 Do you have any applause? (4400 words)
The competition continued. In the fourth group, Li Juer faced a middle-aged woman.

Li Juer came first, and she chose a coke-pouring magic trick, which was not very difficult, but the advantage was that the movements were smooth and done in one go, and she was born beautiful, so the applause from the audience was endless.

Then the middle-aged woman made a move. What she performed was a coin-biting magic trick, first biting the coin into two pieces, and then restoring it to its original shape.

However, although it was completed, the movements were a little stiff, and the whole process was a bit bumpy, which was slightly worse than Li Juer.

In the fourth group, Li Juer won.

The game came to the fifth group.

Only the arrogant man Liu Wenkang and an old man in his 70s or [-]s were left.

"Master, let's go back quickly, we won't be able to catch the No. 13 bus in a while." Liu Wenkang frowned.

The old man did not speak, and silently began to perform magic——

It is an older hoop magic, which involves placing seven or eight hoops together, and then separating the hoops one by one without the help of any external force.

The old man did a good job with no obvious mistakes.

Then Liu Wenkang made a move. It has to be said that although he was arrogant, he did have the capital to be arrogant.

He was performing a medium-sized magic trick and needed an assistant. He first invited Li Juer to help, but was rejected.

As a last resort, he had to invite the hostess.

Then he put the hostess in an iron box, only her head and feet were exposed.

Then he tied the hands and feet of the hostess again.

Finally, he picked up a chainsaw and pulled the mainspring.

The face of the hostess changed drastically, and she repeatedly called 'help'.

This is just an amateur game, and a psychopath will take his own life as a joke.

The security around the stage also rushed up.

But Liu Wenkang was so fast that the chainsaw instantly cut down on the hostess!

There was no flash of red light, and no blood flowed all over the ground.

Liu Wenkang succeeded!

You You showed interest in his eyes, and immediately announced the result: "Liu Wenkang won."

"Cut, what a boring game, the result is already doomed, you still have to struggle?"

Liu Wenkang was awesome, and walked slowly to Lin Luo: "Especially you, can you do magic?"

"It's okay." Lin Luo said lightly, but suspicion suddenly arose in his heart——

Not right.

This Liu Wenkang's second grade is a bit too much.

How could the dialogue that only exists in novels appear in real life?
Does he seem to be targeting himself on purpose?

………………

"The first round is over, and the winners are Lin Luo, Xia Mo, Li Juer, Wuming and Liu Wenkang."

The male host summed it up and said: "The second round will start next, and it will still be one-on-one. However, since there are only five contestants left, there will be one bye, and we will directly enter the third round."

As he said that, he put the table tennis ball representing Lin Luo and other five people into the box again: "Whoever is drawn will have a bye."

A big '1' on the table tennis ball.

Lin Luo has a bye!

"You kid, are you too lucky?" Xia Mo said with envy.

"Hey, is it?"

Lin Luo doesn't think so, all of this should be arranged by that Ms. Qing.

It's just that she pushed herself onto the stage but didn't let herself make a move. What is the purpose?
"Ouch~ It's this Lin again... Lin, what's going on?"

Liu Wenkang said angrily and mockingly: "Isn't this too obvious? At least you have a prop in your hand."

At first, everyone didn't think there was anything wrong, they just thought that Lin Luo was lucky, but when Liu Wenkang said it, everyone looked at the former's hands in unison - nothing!
There were boos and doubts at the scene.

"Don't talk nonsense, my brother doesn't know Ms. Qing at all!" Xia Mo jumped out to complain.

Liu Wenkang took two steps forward and walked to the middle of the stage, enjoying the audience's focus: "What are you in a hurry for? He didn't even deny it."

Xia Mo looked at Lin Luo: "Tell him, you don't know Ms. Qing."

But I seem to really know each other... Lin Luo was speechless for a while, but his face was expressionless, he looked directly at Liu Wenkang, and said calmly: "When you say this, do you want to say that Mr. You is showing favoritism, or is he treating the audience as blind? "

"You!..." Liu Wenkang was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Originally, his deduction was well-founded, and he combined the contestants and the audience to force Lin Luo to become the target of public criticism, but the latter's counterattack was extremely sharp, and instantly made him a lonely person.

"Hmph! I hope your magic is as wonderful as your sophistry." After a while, Liu Wenkang sneered.

Li Ju'er on the side couldn't bear to watch it any longer, and couldn't help interjecting: "Hey! Why are you targeting him all the time?"

"No... no."

There was a moment of embarrassment in Liu Wenkang's eyes, but in a blink of an eye it returned to a mocking look: "Yo~ Not bad, there are women protecting you."

Lin Luo, who had been observing Liu Wenkang, sensitively caught the change in the former's eyes. At this moment, he was [-]% sure——

Definitely targeting yourself on purpose!
"Okay, time is limited, let's hurry up and start the second round."

The male host came out to smooth things over: "Contestants please stand back to their positions and prepare for the competition."

Li Juer confronts the masked man.

Xia Mo to Liu Wenkang.

Li Juer took the lead, and she chose a magic trick that disappeared out of thin air.

She first found a football, then put the football in the hands of the hostess, and then found a red cloth to cover the football.

Then he grabbed the two corners of the red cloth with both hands and pulled it hard.

whoosh-

The football under the red cloth disappeared without a trace!

Then the masked man made a move. He walked up to Li Ju'er with a hoarse voice: "Can you lend me this piece of cloth?"

"Okay." Li Ju'er frowned, as if thinking of something weird, but still agreed.

Then the masked man picked up the prop he had chosen earlier - a pigeon locked in a birdcage.

Then, he covered Li Juer's red cloth on the birdcage.

"The magic I perform is similar to yours."

The man in the mask had a weird tone, then he rolled up his cuffs, grabbed the two corners of the red cloth, and pulled it lightly.

Not surprisingly, both the cage and the pigeons disappeared.

"So strong!"

Xia Mo whispered: "Li Juer is going to lose."

Lin Luo nodded, the masked man was indeed better.

They also disappeared out of thin air, what Li Juer disappeared was a dead object, and the masked man was a living pigeon.

Furthermore, the red cloth belonged to Li Juer, so the masked man was already at a disadvantage, but he still performed the magic perfectly.

Finally, when the red cloth was lifted, Li Juer was very fast, while the masked man was slow.

And it is this state of objects slowly disappearing that will give people a stronger visual impact!
"Mr. You, please make a judgment." The male host looked at You You.

"This... this..." You You looked at Li Ju'er, showing a hint of embarrassment.

"You You, I know I lost, so you don't have to hesitate." Li Juer spoke loudly.

You You breathed a sigh of relief: "Then..."

"Wait a minute, before announcing the results, I have a question to ask him."

Li Juer interrupted You You and walked up to the masked man: "Who are you?"

"Nameless." The masked man replied.

Li Juer said coldly: "I mean your real name."

"Is there a real-name requirement to participate in this kind of competition? I didn't know there was such a requirement." The masked man asked back.

Li Juer asked: "Others don't use it, but you use it. You come here because you have evil intentions!"

The masked man was silent.

The male host on the side hurriedly came over and asked: "Ms. Li, what did you mean by what you just said?"

"I know him, and from the first time I saw his figure, I felt suspicious.

Later he asked me to borrow the red cloth, although he deliberately lowered his voice, but I still heard a trace of familiarity, and finally..."

Speaking of this, Li Juer pointed to a scorpion-shaped tattoo on the masked man's wrist and said, "I saw this tattoo when he rolled up his sleeves in a magic trick.

I can be 100% sure that he is Guo Hongyi! "

wow——

When Li Juer said this, the whole hall was in an uproar.

"Who is Guo Hongyi?" Lin Luo asked Xia Mo in a low voice.

Xia Mo was stunned: "You don't even know Guo Hongyi? You are really out of touch with the times."

Lin Luo smiled bitterly. He was indeed out of touch with the times and was busy integrating with ancient times.

"Guo Hongyi is also a genius magician, not much less famous than Youyou, and he especially looks down on Youyou, criticizing him not once or twice in public." Xia Mo explained.

"Is that so?" Lin Luo was thoughtful.

No wonder Li Juer said that Guo Hongyi had evil intentions and wore a mask to watch the magic tricks of his peers, which really aroused people's imagination.

"So what if I'm Guo Hongyi?"

The masked man took off his mask, revealing a rather resolute face: "Does this conflict with my participation in the competition? There is an invitation card under my chair, so I will come up."

"Don't talk nonsense, what is your purpose?" Li Juer's eyes widened.

Guo Hongyi shook his head and took out a ticket for the magic show from his body and handed it to the male host: "This is my ticket. You must have records of which seats have invitations under them. Just check."

The male host took the tickets and subconsciously glanced at You You who was sitting on the judging panel.

"No more tests."

You You stood up and said calmly, "I didn't expect Mr. Guo to be so supportive. You bought a ticket to watch my magic show."

"Then you can announce the result quickly. Of course, if you want your fiancée to win, I have nothing to say." Guo Hongyi said something.

It turned out that Li Ju'er was You You's fiancée, and the melon-eating cells of the audience began to agitate again.

"In the second round, the winner of the first match is Guo Hongyi." You You said loudly.

"You You, this guy seems to have ulterior motives, you still let him win?" Li Juer rushed to You You, dissatisfied.

"Aren't you curious what his purpose is?" You You pointed to the seat beside him: "Come, watch with me."

………………

In the second round, Xia Mo faced Liu Wenkang.

Liu Wenkang made the first move. He didn't change his magic trick, and it was still the same trick as before.

But this time, the female host was prepared, smiling throughout the whole process, and it was more enjoyable to watch.

"Boy, let me advise you, admit defeat, you are not my opponent." Liu Wenkang pointed at the props in Xia Mo's hand.

A marble, an empty mineral water bottle.

"Are you playing house?" Liu Wenkang sneered.

Xia Mo's face was flushed, and he was clutching the props in his hand.

The anger in Lin Luo's heart gradually rose. No matter what the purpose of this Liu Wenkang was, he kept buzzing like a fly. It was really annoying!
Thinking that he was going to exchange items with the system to help Xia Mo win this round.

But at this moment, an encouraging voice suddenly came from the quiet auditorium:

"Xia Mo, come on!"

It's Ding Yue.

She stood up and shook her fist vigorously: "Complete the game, no matter whether you win or lose, in my heart, you are the best!"

Xia Mo looked at Ding Yue with hazy eyes.

Ding Yue continued to shout: "Finish the game!"

boom--

I don't know if it was infected by Ding Yue, or Liu Wenkang was too arrogant, the audience shouted in unison:
"Finish the game!"

"Complete the game!"

"Complete the game!!!"

Xia Mo looked excited, raised the mineral water bottle and marbles in his hand, and nodded vigorously: "Okay!"

The magic is very simple. Put the marbles into an empty mineral water bottle, shake it randomly a few times, and then slap it hard into the palm of your hand.

Snapped--

The marbles in the bottle disappeared.

"Good! Wonderful!" Lin Luo took the lead in applauding.

Afterwards, there was thunderous applause, cheers and cheers.

In that scene, it was as if what Xia Mo disappeared was not a marble, but an atomic bomb!
"Thank you, thank you everyone." Xia Mo's voice choked up, and he bowed at ninety degrees for a full 30 seconds.

"Are you sick? Such a rubbish magic trick, I can master it at the age of three." Liu Wenkang, the annoying ghost, came out again.

Xia Mo turned around and stared at Liu Wenkang, his eyes were brighter than ever before: "I admit that you are indeed very good, but is there anyone cheering for you?"

Liu Wenkang was stunned, and then retorted after a moment: "What kind of applause do I want? I want to win, I want the championship!"

Xia Mo shook his head, as if he didn't bother arguing with this kind of person. He looked at Lin Luo: "Even if we don't have the money after finishing the game, we brothers can earn it back in the future!"

Obviously, he is not optimistic about Lin Luo winning the championship.

"Received!" Lin Luo nodded solemnly.

………………

After the second round, there were only three contestants left, Lin Luo, Liu Wenkang and Guo Hongyi.

The male host announced the rules of the competition again: "In the third round, the three of you will start performing at the same time, and your magic will be broadcast live in real time to the twelve members of the China Magic Association. performance vote."

"Hey, I don't worry about that. I'm also a member of the Magic Association. When I joined the association, they were full of praise for me."

Guo Hongyi looked at Lin Luo with a smile on his face: "You give up, you don't deserve the championship."

"That's right, his brother has already died in despair, how could he still stand here?"

Liu Wenkang also looked at Lin Luo, and said arrogantly: "Go back! I will never let you have a chance to have dinner with Ms. Qing."

"I see."

After listening to the provocative words of these two people, Lin Luo finally solved all the mysteries.

Guo Hongyi is a top magician on par with Youyou. To him, 100 million is nothing at all, so why did he hide his identity to participate in such a small competition?

And Liu Wenkang, before that, they didn't know each other at all, why did he target them again and again?Even at the expense of confronting the audience and insulting Xia Mo?

Is it really for the 100 million and the chance to have dinner with Ms. Qing?

No.

Absolutely not!
They are trying to irritate themselves.

In other words, they want to claim the championship for themselves!

As for the reason, Lin Luo also knew.

Last night at the noodle shop, Ms. Qing heard that passage in English, and she knew that she might be Fan Wujiu.

But it is definitely not enough to identify a person based on a single sentence.

So when she learned that she and Xia Mo were coming to watch the magic show, she improvised this competition.

She found Liu Wenkang and Guo Hongyi, one in the open and the other in the dark.

Guo Hongyi held back, while Liu Wenkang was arrogant and domineering, targeting himself with all his strength and arousing his competitive spirit.

Then Ms. Qing may still feel that it is not enough, and she knows that her brotherhood is the most important thing, so she ordered Liu Wenkang to insult Xia Mo and force herself to win the game.

But it is too difficult to win the championship under the attack of these two people.

Unless, Lin Luo knows spells.

Unless, he is Fan Wujiu!

"Qing'er, are you looking at me?"

Lin Luo looked around, twisted his fingertips lightly, and fresh flames jumped out:

"Then, I'll show you a show!"
