The pinnacle of magic

There is nothing more pleasant than the sun, the beach, and the company of a lover.

"Rui?" The magician who was lying on the beach chair turned around, disappointed to find that a stranger with a cane was walking from behind.

No matter how he tries to convince Shi Rui, Shi Rui is still not interested in the "meaningless act" of lying on the beach covered in sunscreen.On the contrary, Shi Rui decided to spend a few more hours savoring the largest ruins in the area.Although it was a pity that he and Shi Rui couldn't fulfill their wish of applying sunscreen to each other, the magician still expressed his understanding of his lover's taste.

It doesn't matter, anyway, in the evening, we can go to dinner and sing and dance together.The magician is very fond of the tropical food on the island.

"Can I sit here for a while?"

The magician noticed that the stranger was also carrying a small round stool.It was a middle-aged man with gray hair, the corners of his eyes were full of wrinkles, his body was bent, and there seemed to be something wrong with one leg, only the tiptoe was always on the ground.For some reason, the magician felt that he was not as old as he seemed.

"It doesn't matter. Clifford." The magician pointed to himself, "Are you also on vacation?"

The stranger bent down, put the small round stool on the beach, and then sat down slowly with the support of his crutches.He held out his hand to the magician: "Jonathan."

The magician reached out and shook his hand.

"No, I'm not here for vacation. This island may be my final resting place." Jonathan sighed.

The magician frowned: "Sorry, why do I think you look familiar?"

"Perhaps you've seen me in the papers or on TV? Mel Brothers?"

"Ah! You are the one..." The magician suddenly recognized the person in front of him.The news about this person was a sensation not long ago, but because Jonathan's appearance was at least 20 years older than that in the newspaper, he couldn't react all of a sudden.

"A terminally ill billionaire? Yes, that's me."

The magician suddenly understood why Jonathan said that this might be his resting place.The 30-year-old chairman of a listed company suffers from a very rare bone disease, and even his billions of dollars cannot help him continue his life. "It seems that you like this place very much?" He tried to bring the topic in a relaxed direction.

"No. For a person who has already stepped into heaven, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it is meaningless. If possible, I would rather die in front of my family." Jonathan's spirit The state is not very good, he paused for a long time before continuing, "But this is my last hope. Have you heard of the 'Hand of God'?"

The magician shook his head.

"'Just shaking hands with an angel of God will cure all diseases.' Sounds a bit like nonsense, doesn't it?"

The magician suddenly remembered that Shi Rui seemed to have mentioned to him that Old Johnny had received similar leaflets in the hospital.He raised his eyebrows: "Who knows? When people are on the verge of despair, people are always willing to believe in some incredible things."

"Yeah..." Jonathan sighed again, "but the real situation is not as simple as they say. If you want to meet the messenger of God, you must pass many tests. These tests are often irrelevant to people's identity background , just to prove the pious belief. Even I, without using any financial resources, took almost three months to be allowed to come to this island."

The magician couldn't help frowning: "Do you really think this matter is believable?"

Jonathan said to himself: "After the third test, they put a big man on the phone with me. A real big man." The billionaire emphasized several times how much this big man It's amazing, even in his circle, there are very few opportunities to talk to this big man directly. "He hinted to me that he had also received treatment from Lord Kaos. So, this kind of testimony is often more convincing than any guarantee, isn't it?"

The magician was secretly surprised, he didn't expect to hear Kaos' name here.It seems that Kaos is very likely to be the leader of that "Hand of God" organization, and Sea God Island is also one of their bases.

"Mr. Mel! How many times have I told you that you must be in the prayer room until the ceremony! The sea breeze here is not good for your bones."

The magician turned around and saw a nurse pushing a wheelchair standing not far behind them calling for Jonathan.

"Sorry, I have to go. The nurses here are much stricter than the private nurses at my home." Jonathan shook hands with the magician again, then slowly stood up on crutches, picked up the small round stool and dragged Walking towards the nurse.

The dark-skinned female nurse didn't even go up to help him as he struggled into the wheelchair.She just snatched the cane from Jonathan and stuffed it in the back of the wheelchair.Then he glanced in the direction of the magician, quickly turned the wheelchair and pushed the man away.

The magician pursed his lips.When the wheelchair was about to disappear at the end of the path, he suddenly jumped up from the beach chair.This is an excellent opportunity to find out the background of Kaos!

He put on a floral shirt casually, pretending to be a strolling tourist, while looking around, he locked his eyes on the wheelchair in front of him.

Contrary to the magician's expectation, the nurse pushed Jonathan farther and farther.It seemed that the place where they lived was not at all in the area full of hotels on the side of the island. After 10 minutes, they went up a high slope. At the end of the high slope, some huge stone sculptures built against the mountain were exposed.

The magician glanced at the road sign, and there was only one small ruin in this direction.Along the way, the female nurse turned her head and looked around vigilantly several times, and the road leading to the high slope was sparsely populated without any shelter, which made him dare not get too close.He trotted up the hill until the wheelchair disappeared from sight.

Sure enough, there were only a few solitary boulder statues on the hillside.The magician turned around and couldn't find any other way out.The nurse and Jonathan just disappeared without a trace!

The magician walked back to the little intersection where he had come up the hill.Although the ground was dry and there were no plants, the wheelchair still left shallow marks on it.He followed the traces and found that the imprint of the wheel suddenly disappeared in front of a statue.

Is it a secret passage?

The magician frowned at the stone sculpture that combined shell and human form.There is a black depression on the belly of the statue, but it doesn't look deep. It is estimated that at most it can only hide a person against the stone wall.The lower part of the depression was less than fifteen centimeters from the ground, which instantly rekindled the magician's hope.

If it is a wheelchair, it can be easily pushed up!

The magician stepped into the hollow, his fingers groping along the stone wall.He was surprised to find that the space inside the depression was much larger than it appeared from the outside.A slight cold wind suddenly blew on his face.He turned his head and found a gap between the stone walls that was just enough for a person to pass sideways.

If you put your wheelchair away here, you can definitely pass.

The magician was immediately refreshed.He walked sideways into the gap, and after only a few steps, the space around him gradually grew larger.It turned out to be a road in the middle of the mountain!His fingers touched the wall on one side, and he recognized that it was not a rock, but something like rattan.It seems that someone first opened a trail on the mountain, and then planted vines around it, so the road was completely covered.The magician didn't dare to make any light, and walked forward quickly, feeling his way.Not long after, there was a faint sound of water coming from the front, and there were a few low-pitched conversations.He recognized Jonathan's voice, and immediately walked forward quickly, and soon found the light at the end of the passage.

It is natural light.Now at least there is no need to worry about breaking into the opponent's lair directly.

The magician leaned against the stone wall and narrowed his eyes to adapt to the light outside.The passage leads to a path, and less than 50 meters away from him, a nurse is pushing Jonathan in a wheelchair forward.There are many aboriginal huts on both sides of the road, and the magician even saw a few little aborigines throwing stones at each other for fun.At the end of the road, there is a white three-story building.The appearance looks a bit like a sanatorium that can be seen everywhere on the island, but the fact that it is located deep in the village of the indigenous people makes this place a wonderful sense of disobedience.

Even if there are other roads leading here, it is obvious that ordinary tourists will not pass by, which makes the white house very hidden.

The magician thought for a moment, and decided to go around the aborigine's village and walk along the other side of the hill to the white house.Since the white house was built on the highest point of the terrain, with a forest on one side and a relatively steep downward slope on the other, even without any shelter, the poor terrain would make it difficult for the magician to be spotted.

The magician walks very fast.His good physique allowed him to reach the white house almost at the same time as Jonathan.The place was, indeed, very much like a sanatorium.Except for the strange fact that there is a cliff not far from the back of the house, the magician saw almost the most common things in all nursing homes here.A few simple white sun umbrellas, an old man sitting in the backyard reading a newspaper, a sickly girl standing on the balcony on the second floor looking down, and a man in a white coat hurrying past in the corridor on the ground floor.

The nurse walked around the front door of the house and pushed Jonathan directly to a stone table in the backyard.A young man in a white uniform approached, spoke to the nurse, and handed her a tray with medicine bottles and water glasses.The nurse put the tray on the stone table casually, gave Jonathan a few words, then turned around and left with the young man.

The magician frowned.The young man just now gave him a strange sense of familiarity.Who is the one?He was sure he had never seen this man.The young man looked less than 20 years old, and his appearance was not so much handsome as it was more feminine.

The magician's eyes widened suddenly.

It's Jessica!

The appearance of this young man is seven or eight points similar to Jessica!

He could almost determine the identity of this person.It was Jessica's brother, the drug addict boy for whom his ex-girlfriend would give an arm!The fact that he appeared in this place can only show that he was indeed taken away by Kaos' people.

The magician waited another moment.He didn't rush into the white house until he was sure that no one was paying attention in this direction.

You have to find a white coat first, the colorful shirt on your body is too conspicuous here.

He turns into a room.
