The pinnacle of magic

The venue for official performances is the Central Gymnasium.Due to the tight schedule there, the magician was only given two rehearsals, one of which was before the show.All equipment tests and personnel rehearsals were arranged in an old factory.Since there may only be a few 10 minutes for debugging at that time, the entire installation process must be precise and fast.

When Shi Rui arrived at the rehearsal location, all important personnel had a meeting in a room that had been opened up as a temporary control room.He pushed open the door and saw that the magician was still dressed in a short-sleeved T-shirt and low-waisted denim. The magician's feet were overlapping and resting on the long conference table just like when they first met.

"What is the height of the highest point in the stadium?" The magician's fingers tapped the table rhythmically.

"72.5 meters." A middle-aged man with glasses on the bridge of his nose replied immediately.

"What was the lift-off altitude you mentioned just now?"

"60 meters, that is the limit that our equipment can bear."

"Raise it to 80 meters. Get a helicopter to shoot from the sky. There are big screens in the stadium, right?"

"It's impossible! Clifford, it's absolutely impossible!" the middle-aged man yelled.

"I don't want people to think that I was hung by a steel wire, so I have to go beyond the highest point of the gymnasium. What I want to perform is the impossible, and I want this magic to be the swan song that has never been done before or since!"

"Are you crazy? You are risking your life! You have no chance of surviving at such a height! This is impossible!" The middle-aged man stood up from his seat excitedly.

"On the streets of this city, there are countless unemployed engineers. I pay you high wages to let you work for me, not to let you teach me what is possible and what is impossible! If you can't do it, immediately Pack your things and get out, I have plenty of backup candidates! Now, tell me, can you do it or not?" the magician asked, staring at the middle-aged man's face.

"This means that we have to modify all existing equipment..." The middle-aged man replied cowardly, with sweat dripping from his forehead.

"Can, or can't?"

"Yes, it should be possible."

"Okay, Joe, tell them to get a helicopter," the magician said, turning to a man in a hat.

"Yes, Clifford."

"Let me see, what else, what else... Where's my costume?"

"Everything has been changed according to your wishes, and the material of the mask has been changed accordingly." A woman dressed in gothic style replied.

"Well... Kate, the music and lighting are all up to you."

"Yes, Clifford."

"In addition, when the media releases the rehearsal time, I want to give a little news to the group of flies that are everywhere. Just a little bit is enough to drive them crazy." The magician slightly raised the corners of his lips.

"Okay." The female secretary wrote down the magician's order in the notebook.

"Ah! My dear Shirley, you are here!" After seeing Shi Rui standing at the door, the magician immediately jumped up from the chair, trotted around the table and came in front of him. "You will like what we are about to perform, and I can't wait to show it to you." He leaned closer to Shi Rui's ear and said.

"I'm looking forward to it." Dongfang Beauty showed a proper smile on her face, "Would you like to introduce me?"

"Of course! This is James, our engineer, the world's top mechanical expert." The magician pointed to the middle-aged man wearing glasses.

"Joe, great contact, he can get me anything I want," said the magician, pointing to the man in the hat.Since Shi Rui didn't find any hair under the hat, he felt that the contact person probably shaved his head.

"Anna, she has the most dexterous hands in the world. She is mainly responsible for our costumes and props." The magician pouted at the gothic woman.

"And Kate, I think you already know her." The magician put his arms around Shi Rui's waist and let him lean towards him, "This is Shirley, the goddess in my life, she will replace Li in the future here's the location."

Shi Rui smiled and nodded at everyone.Except for the shaved-headed contact Joe who exaggeratedly took off his peaked cap, waved it twice in the air and put it on his chest, and bowed to him, everyone seemed to choose to keep a distance from him temporarily.The look of "Here we go again" in the eyes of the costumer Anna made Shi Rui fully appreciate the image of the magician and playboy who is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

"Okay, just do as I said just now. Shirley, I'll take you to see the rehearsal venue." The magician enthusiastically opened the door for Shi Rui.

"Clifford, Dr. David asked you to do a reaction test." Kate reminded.

"I'll go find him." The magician said casually, as if only Shi Rui was left in his eyes.

It took two full days to find out Shi Rui's real address, which made the magician's curiosity even stronger.Different from all the women he had pursued before, this oriental woman with a sense of mystery in terms of origin and strength really aroused his competitive spirit.

The magician keenly noticed that Shi Rui's attitude towards him was very subtle.It's not just a simple refusal to welcome, nor is it completely uninterested.There was something dangerous in those unfathomable black eyes, as if the closer they were, the more susceptible they were.The magician, who is also a master of hypnotism, knows very well that this is the look that only "controllers" can have.

The eyes are exactly the same as his own.

Magic expects the next few months to be very interesting.This is a confrontation that is a hundred times more intense than ordinary men and women fighting for the initiative, and what the winner will gain is complete control over the opponent and an unparalleled sense of accomplishment!

"Ha! Old David, why are you here?" The magician waved to the old man standing in the corridor looking out the window with a coffee cup.

"Because I know you won't take the initiative to come to me." Putting the coffee cup on the windowsill, the white-haired old man took out a card from his suit pocket, "Clifford, I need to know if you are still at your peak .” His expression was extremely serious.

"Okay. Doctors are always so easy to worry." The magician shrugged nonchalantly, spread his index and middle fingers, and let the card land just in the middle of the two fingers.

Old Davy smiled, and suddenly let go of his fingers on the top of the card.Almost at the same time, the magician quickly clamped his fingers.The card only fell less than a quarter of the distance before it stopped in his fingers again.

Shi Rui's eyes moved slightly.

To clamp the cards in such a situation, it means that the magician's reaction time should be less than 0.1 seconds.The reaction time of normal people is generally between 0.2 seconds and 0.5 seconds, and it is almost impossible to complete such a test.Shi Rui thinks that he can still complete it with the distance of half a card, but the speed of the magician is much faster than him!

"Very good, Clifford." Old David patted the magician on the shoulder, "Go do what you want! But I still want to remind you that it has been more than a month since your last full body checkup. You understand how important your body is to you, don't you, my child?"

"I'll definitely go to you when I'm done." The magician said with a smile.

"I'm going to get your blood and urine samples after this show, I don't want you to get any bad things."

Old David's suddenly sharp eyes made the magician twitch his mouth. "All right, all right, I assure you, I'm as strong as a bull."

"I said after the show." Old David didn't budge.

"Okay, after the celebration banquet is over, why don't I have your blood drawn immediately?"

"Very good. I hope you have a good time. Clifford, she doesn't look easy to conquer." A teasing smile suddenly appeared on the old doctor's face.

"How do you say that word, a flower of the high mountains." The magician looked at Shi Rui with admiration, "I will use my sincerity to make her bloom for me."

"Ha! I hope the ending won't be just the opposite." The old doctor's eyes and Shi Rui's eyes fell apart instantly.He turned away and picked up the coffee cup on the windowsill again, seemingly losing interest in continuing the conversation.

The magician made a face behind him, and then took Shi Rui's hand: "Come on! I'll show you to meet other people, they are very easy to get along with, except for occasionally provoking newcomers by dancing."

The heat from the palm made Shi Rui startled slightly, this is not the first time he has been touched by a magician's hand.Such dexterous, powerful, and flawless fingers sometimes even made him want to destroy it.However, rationality told Shi Rui that he would play the role of a protector, and let these hands, which even God would be jealous of, continue to exert their amazing creativity.

They walked down the stairs and came to a relatively empty space.

There is no doubt that all the assistants of the magician are beauties.From Latin beauties to European classical beauties, each of them has a proud figure and a beautiful face.

Of course, there is also a near-perfect dance!

Shi Rui accepted the "Newcomer Challenge".

He tore open the hem of the long skirt casually, and imitated the challenger's movements [-]% along with the passionate music.For him, who has excellent memory, reflexes and body control, dancing doesn't actually require learning.Maybe he danced a soulless dance, but it was enough to fool others.

"Wow! You are amazing! Honey, you are amazing!" After the music ended, the magician jumped onto the stage, excitedly wanting to give Shi Rui a hug.

"I hope my skirt can be counted as work loss." Shi Rui smiled, and moved half a step away to avoid the magician's movements.

"Of course! Honey, I can buy you anything you want." The magician's words obviously attracted the jealous eyes of several girls.

"Next time, I will remember to bring the bill." Shi Rui said lightly, "I think Kate is looking for you."

At the other end of the stage, the female secretary is holding a document and waving to the magician.

"Okay, I'll come when I go." The magician turned around and said loudly, "Okay, girls, I think you've seen what Shirley can do. Show her around here, tell her what to do, I'll Be back in a moment."

Since it was just a temporary rehearsal space, everything seemed a bit shabby.The girls showed Shi Rui most of the places, and then left him alone to make up at Shi Rui's request.

Shi Rui took a look at the costumes for the performance, and felt fortunate that the degree of exposure was not very high.He doesn't like playing as a bunny girl or SM queen.

There was a sudden knock on the door.

"Can I come in?" Shi Rui remembered the voice of a shy blonde girl.

"Please come in." Shi Rui put down his clothes.

"My name is Jessica." Judging from the twisted fingers, the girl was obviously a little nervous, "Your skin is so good, you can't see pores at all." She took a step closer.

"Maybe this is the characteristic of oriental people?" Shi Rui smiled gently.

"Well... I know it's a bit inappropriate, but... I want you to ask Mr. Wyish if he can advance some salary to me." The girl exhausted all her courage to finish the sentence.

"Money is a little tight?" Dongfang Beauty raised her eyebrows.

"How should I say it? I have encountered some troubles. I don't know them very well, and I haven't been here for long, and everyone is actually not rich. Um... If possible, could you please mention something to Mr. White ?”

"Ok, no problem."

"Thank you." The girl paused, as if she suddenly remembered something, and quickly added, "Mr. White doesn't like people breaking the rules, especially when it comes to money."

"Oh?" Shi Rui thought for a while, and felt that the word "rules" could not be seen in the magician at all, but he did have an unexpected attachment to money.

"So...if it doesn't work...forget it." The girl bit her lower lip tightly.

"I'll ask Clifford." Oriental Beauty said with a smile, "Jessica, I want to change."

"Oh! Okay! See you later! I mean, thank you." The girl quickly left the room and closed the door.

money……

money……

Maybe it's a good breakthrough!

Shi Rui stroked the smooth surface of the dressing table with his fingers, and laughed silently.
