The pinnacle of magic

There are only a few minutes before the show, but the magician is still tired of Shi Rui's side and refuses to leave.Under his extreme lack of cooperation, the makeup artist could only shake his head and walk away.

"I have to go back to the auditorium." Shi Rui frowned, completely helpless with the brown candy beside him.

The magician leaned into his ear: "If you can get some benefits tonight, I'll let you go." The rogue in his eyes was very obvious.

Shi Rui sighed, took out a small box from his pocket and handed it to the magician.

"Is this... for me?" The magician slightly opened his eyes.

"I did it." Shi Rui pursed his lips and added, "It's not for acting."

The arc of the corner of the mouth kept rising, and Shi Rui's last sentence made the magician feel elated.He opens the box.

"This was designed by you?!" No wonder he was surprised, the ring lying in the red box was ostentatious, not like Shi Rui's style at all.

The main body of the silver ring is a dark blue gemstone, and the setting of the ring is specially designed in the shape of wings spreading upwards. The magician knows that this is Shi Rui's allusion to his code name.The color of the gem is slightly darker than his eyeballs, and the surface is polished to a restrained luster, which is very charming.

It's not even just a ring!

Following the silver chain on the ring, the magician opened the compartment of the box, revealing a white leather ring.The magician tries to fit the ring on the finger, and then clasps the leather loop on the wrist.Both are just the right size, and it doesn't feel awkward to wear.

"What's on it?" He saw a few symbols that looked like square characters on the buckle of the leather ring, and when he untied the leather ring, he found that there were densely packed small characters on the back.

"A piece of guardian scripture is also on the back of the ring." Shi Rui said with a smile.

It was also his first attempt at this style.In the jewelry design studio introduced by the professor, he tried several simple styles, but he was not very satisfied.It was only after the female boss of the studio explained to him that a piece of jewelry must match the temperament of the owner to complement each other that he thought of creating such a ring for the magician.

The mood is completely different from when I first agreed to pick out the ring.All are designed to fit the magician's personality, while the text on the back captures his passion.

The magician took off the ring and took a look.The writing on it is so small that it is almost indistinguishable to the naked eye.He could imagine how much effort Shi Rui had spent on this, and the warmth surged up.He couldn't wait to put the ring back on and fasten the leather ring on his wrist. "Do you need to take it off when you take a shower?"

"The leather ring is waterproof." Shi Rui explained seriously.

"Do you mean, my dear, that I should wear it all the time?"

Shi Rui pursed his lips as a tacit consent.

"Well, with this, I feel like I can easily defeat my opponent tonight!" The magician raised his hand to hook Shirui's neck, but found that the opponent had already stepped back.

Shi Rui doesn't like to do any overly intimate actions in public, which makes the magician somewhat depressed.According to his personality, he can't wait for the paparazzi to take pictures of their kiss and spread it all over the world!Of course, this can only be said.Shi Rui has plenty of ways to "punish" him, just thinking about the content of those punishments is enough to make him dare not act rashly.

"Rui, let's have supper together after we're done! The location is up to you." The magician turned and walked towards the entrance of the stage.

It wasn't until his back disappeared that Shi Rui decided to go back to the auditorium.The final preparation lights have been turned on and the live broadcast will start in 3 minutes.The staff is busy everywhere, and the host and the producer are doing the last check together.

hope everything is fine.

Shi Rui frowned, trying to suppress the vague uneasiness in his heart.I always feel that something will happen, I hope it is just my own illusion.

Still, even if something did happen, he would never let anyone hurt his people.

"Dear audience friends, I am Stephen. What you will see tonight is the fourth scene of "Peak Showdown". The world's top magician Miracle Angel Clifford Wyshe challenges the mind-reading girl Elaine Nicole Laevna Romanova! First of all, please invite our magician—Clifford Huaish!"

The magician's T-shirt is printed with many haphazard lines, and the light-colored jeans are also full of white rub marks.He walked lightly onto the stage and waved to the audience.

"Clifford, I think you should at least wear a tie to show respect for your opponent." The host shook his head at the magician, "You must know that you are going to face the descendants of the tsar! "

"Hehe, is that so? Then I really have to doubt, will the Tsar lose his throne because of playing tricks?" The magician shrugged indifferently, "After all, if his blood can Let him read the thoughts of other people, and he won't be unable to control his subjects, right?"

Host: "However, we have to admit that from previous records, Ms. Romanova does have extraordinary abilities, regardless of whether her ancestors also possessed the same abilities."

"Maybe!" The magician smiled and sat down in his seat, lowering his head and playing with the ring on his ring finger.

"It seems that our magician is still full of confidence in himself. Then let us invite the challenged party, the mind-reading girl who can easily read anyone's thoughts - Elaine Nikolaevna Romanova !"

A girl in national costume came out from behind the scenes.She looked about thirteen or fourteen years old, with a very beautiful face, nose bridge, lips and chin all had a cold temperament unique to Russians.There are many fine lines in the corners of the girl's eyes, giving people a strange sense of disobedience.She wears accessories all over her body, from the top of her head to the hem of her skirt, and even on her leather shoes, there are many colorful bead chains.A small crystal ball lay quietly between her palms, refracting the lights on the stage into a colorful halo.

"Eileen, I heard that you prefer to be called Her Royal Highness?" the host asked with a smile.

"Don't pretend to be kind to me, you don't like me at all." Elaine's clear and sweet voice made the host's face stiffen.

"You can start right away, without asking me any more questions." She walked to the seat opposite the magician and sat down, looked at the magician for a moment and shook her head, "Your ideas will not come true, because you yourself No confidence."

The magician couldn't help being slightly surprised.The girl's powers of observation were as keen as he imagined.But now he is very unwilling to admit that it is only his own delusion to overwhelm Shi Rui. "I don't think so. I'm quite sure of myself!" He crossed his legs, "Stephen, it's about time for the video?"

"Okay! Since you all can't wait, let's watch the tape! Here's a TV tape of Elaine performing at Christmas last year. In the show, she asks a random audience Randomly choose one of the four suits, and then she will read out what the audience thinks and verify the answer face to face. Elaine tried three audiences in a row, and all the answers are tried and tested..."

The short 10-minute mind-reading performance was so magical that when the TV camera was cut back to the scene, the audience looked at the girl with a bit of awe in their eyes.

"Okay, the video is over. Clifford, how are you going to challenge Elaine?"

"Well...then just like her, I will randomly pick a few audience members to come on stage, but the questions I want to ask will not be limited to the suits of the playing cards."

The magician stood up and walked to the audience.He secretly cast an ambiguous glance at Shi Rui, and then randomly selected an audience member to come on stage.

"Please stand there and don't move." The magician signaled the audience who was selected to stand on the stage, and he picked up four magnified playing cards from the female assistant.

"Now, please look at the cards in my hand. They are spades... clubs... diamonds... hearts..." The magician showed the cards in his hand one by one to the audience, which were four K of different suits.

"Now, please choose one to keep in mind. Don't tell me the answer!"

"Have you chosen yet?"

The audience who was chosen to take the stage nodded.

The magician touched his chin: "Did you choose grass flowers?"

The audience who was chosen to go on stage couldn't help but widen their eyes, and covered their mouths with their hands in surprise. "Oh! Yes. How did you know?"

The magician smiled inscrutably: "I can't tell you that. Well, thank you for your cooperation. Let's ask the next one, shall we?"

There was warm applause in the auditorium, and the magician signaled the staff to lead the audience off the stage. "Okay, who else wants to come up and try it? Ah! The lady in the red dress over there, your dress is so charming, may I invite you to come on stage?"

After the second audience member stood on the stage, two female assistants rolled out a long stainless steel table with many odd objects placed on it.

The magician strolled over to the table. "Let's see what's here. Well... Please note, I have apples... bananas... oranges... grapes." The magician picked up four kinds of fruits from the table one by one and showed them to the audience.

"Okay, please choose one to keep in mind."

The second audience member thought for a while and said nervously, "I've chosen!"

"Hmm...let me take a look." The magician folded his palms and put them to his lips, "Did you choose oranges?"

"Ah! He got it right! He got it right again!" The second audience member who was invited to the stage couldn't help shouting.

The magician smiled and looked around the auditorium, only to find that several people were looking down at their phones at the same time.A staff member trotted to the audience and held up a sign that read "Change your answer"!

The magician frowned, then walked towards the stage with a smile on his face: "Okay, are there any volunteers? That kid over there, would you like to try it too?" He raised a ten-year-old with his arms high little boy please on stage.

"Now, let me see what else is on the table for you to choose." The magician lowered his head absent-mindedly, and picked out a few things from the pile on the table and put them in his left hand.

"I have here...a box of matches...a toy car...a pen...and a fake eyeball. Hehe, please pick one of these things and keep it in your heart, don't say it!"

The little boy thought for a while before nodding slightly: "I, I've made up my mind."

"Let me guess..." The magician noticed more and more people in the audience checking their phones or whispering.Things seem a little unusual.He saw a staff member say something in Shi Rui's ear, causing Shi Rui's face to change slightly.

"I'm afraid you chose..." The magician tried hard to return his attention to the performance, he smiled at the little boy, "Did you choose this scary-looking fake eyeball?"

"..." The little boy frowned and bit his lower lip tightly.

"Come on! Tell me, did you choose fake eyes?" The magician asked again with a smile.

The little boy lowered his head: "How do you know? Can you really read my thoughts?" He asked timidly in a low voice.

The magician breathed a sigh of relief. "This is the power of magic. Magic can let me read what is in your mind." He walked back to the host and found that the host's face was not very good.The last audience member had finished asking, but he didn't get the expected applause, which made him somewhat uneasy.

"Okay, Elaine, what do you think of my performance?" The magician pretended to be calm and sat down on the sofa chair.The atmosphere at the scene made him feel very strange.

"Your performance is very good." The Russian girl nodded, "But I didn't come here today to watch your performance. I plan to win back the prize money, so I want to have a one-on-one match with you. "

"Ah! Another challenge! Clifford, what do you say?" The host almost couldn't wait to pick up Elaine's words, "But if you choose to accept, we have to rest for an hour before starting. The live broadcast time of the program Arrive, and only make time to continue after an hour."

"Of course. I am willing to accept your challenge." The magician generously extended his hand and shook Elaine.

He never turns down a challenge, and he does take a moment to figure out what's going on.
