Thriller Trainee

When Zong Jiu woke up again, the room was still dark.

He lay blankly on the bed for a long time, his eyes dull, staring at the ceiling immersed in shadows above his head. He only felt a dull pain in the temples on both sides of his head, and felt some retching in his stomach. feel.

"ah......"

The white-haired young man was in a daze on the bed for a long time, and then he wanted to sit up with support.

He was just about to press his hands on the bed, but he shrank back as if he had been burned.

No, the doctor said that if you can try not to use force on your hands, don’t force it, otherwise it will affect the recovery after surgery.

Zong Jiu's mind was confused, but he remembered the doctor's instructions very clearly, so he didn't dare to use force anymore. He only dared to let his hands hang limply by his side, not even daring to curl his knuckles.

He clearly remembered that yesterday was another night of hangover. Earlier, about three or four days ago, he had just undergone the last operation.

After the operation that brought together clinical medical experts from all over the world, everyone expressed their disapproval of this former world-class card magician.

"Mr. Zong, we have done our best for your hand."

The doctor put a thick plaster on him and wrapped it around his fingers and wrists.

"If possible, please refrain from using your hands for any activity during the rest of the postoperative recovery period. We firmly believe that miracles and good luck will surely favor you."

Although they didn't say anything, and even smiled and encouraged him to try not to exert force on his hands within a month after the operation, Zongjiu, who was extremely sensitive to other people's emotions, saw through the unexpressed subtext at a glance.

His hand... it's very possible that there really is no way to recover.

Knowing this, Zongjiu abandoned his calmness for the first time, locked himself in the room, and drank one cup after another.

He turned off his cell phone and threw it aside. He could no longer borrow his agent's phone number and refused to read the overwhelming reports on the Internet about the great magician Zong Jiu's car accident that left his hands disabled for life.

So the pain still lingering in my head when I woke up now must be the sequelae of a hangover.

But he didn't know why, he always felt a sense of disobedience.

A huge floor-to-ceiling mirror is placed not far from the bed.

There happened to be a ray of skylight leaking in from the distant curtains.

Zong Jiu maintained this posture, glanced at it inadvertently, and suddenly paused.

Before the car accident, he had just finished a tour, and his hair was dyed white according to stage standards.

"It's strange...the color hasn't faded after so many days."

The young man murmured to himself, and the voice-activated lights on the side also lit up, illuminating the high-end apartment dimly.

When the time came, Zongjiu opened his eyes wide.

Because his hand, which was covered with bandages and plaster, was actually holding something.

A black stone with a strange six-pointed star pattern.

Zong Jiu subconsciously threw this thing to the bed, fearing that its weight would hinder the recovery of his hands.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but after the stone left his hand, the six-pointed star pattern on it seemed to flicker.

It's fake...which manufacturer developed a new magic prop, and it also comes with its own light source.

Zongjiu glanced at Shitou carelessly and slowly got out of bed.

The white-haired young man moved very slowly, like a dying old man, moving himself off the bed little by little, until his feet stepped on the fluffy carpet, and then he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He's a little hungry.

People still have to eat. If you don't eat, you will die. No matter what, even if he lived decadently, Zong Jiu would not escape all this by dying.

These days, Zong Jiu cannot feel the flow of time at all.

From the time he had a car accident a month ago to the end of the operation, his life had undergone earth-shaking changes in just one month.

First, invitations and performances from all parties were forced to be suspended, resulting in a large amount of liquidated damages. Then came the news, and the reporters who wanted to get first-hand information and intelligence, squatting downstairs every day, which was very annoying.

Fortunately, Zong Jiu had no parents at all, and the number of people he had known over the years, except for work, were so few that they could be ignored, otherwise it would have been even more troublesome.

He skillfully put a piece of bread into the oven with his arm, then set the time with voice control, and slowly watched the bread behind the glass gradually soften and take on a golden color.

"Ding——" It's baked.

While Zongjiu was eating, he pressed a rare button to open the curtains.

He didn't know why, but he always felt that he had forgotten something very important, but he couldn't tell what it was.

As soon as I turned on my phone, countless text messages and missed calls came flooding in.

Only a few minutes later, another call came in.

Zong Jiu glanced at it with no interest, and then chose to turn on airplane mode.

He began to think.

"If I can't be a magician in the future...what else can I do?"

It's not that it can't be done, but that Zongjiu doesn't want to do it.

After losing his magic, he lost his interest. Like a blind person, he no longer had any challenge or fun.

After becoming famous at a young age, Zongjiu's family background is quite rich. Whether it was the wool collected in casinos around the world in the early years, or the subsequent tour endorsements and a series of fees, it was destined that even if he could not be a magician in his life, he would still have enough food and clothing.

The magician industry is very similar to that of celebrities, but they do not earn as much as celebrities. However, people in this world like to watch magic, so magic has become a formal and developable system, and a large number of people have become Magic schools and magic competitions arose. After Zong Jiu left the orphanage, he was spotted by an old magician. After entering school for further studies, he revealed his amazing talent, which led to his current achievements.

"etc......"

He touched his forehead, "Why do you talk about this world?"

This statement just appeared subconsciously, which makes people feel incredible.

Zong Jiu felt that his head seemed to be in chaos.

After waking up this time, he even felt that the whole world was incompatible with him.

But obviously all of this... only happened before he went to bed.

Zongjiu lowered his head to look.

Lan Yingying's mobile phone screen is lighting up. He opened the green Jinjiang Literature City app and found the recently read column.

Lying on top was an unimpressive book on cultivating immortals.

But Zongjiu always felt that what he read before going to bed last night was not a book about cultivating immortals, but a thrilling and terrifying infinite flow.

But what the name was, he couldn't remember for a while.

It was like... having a long, long dream.

In the dream, his hands were good and he could still make cards fly and jump on his fingertips.

In the dream, he stood under the spotlight. Although it was not a stage that Zongjiu was familiar with, it was more able to mobilize his blood and joy.

There seems to be a pair of dark golden eyes.

"It's really strange, how could I have such an inexplicable dream."

Zong Jiuwu laughed to himself and said to himself, "Even if it is really a dream, I will always remember something when I wake up. I only remember a pair of eyes...this is nothing."

He shook his head, walked to the door, and pressed a button on the wall.

The automatic delivery machine threw in all the express delivery Zong Jiu received, and it also came with a disassembled knife edge for easy access.

These are all folk remedies he got from various places these days. From black technology to black magic, it has it all.

Zongjiu ignored the advertisements for the installation of robotic arms and accidentally reached out to a six-pointed star sacrificial cloth.

The ancient parchment next to the sacrificial cloth indicates that it is a black magic item. It is said that as long as you recite the magic spell on it, you can summon demons and devils from hell, but you must prepare a Items also marked with a six-pointed star.

Oh, isn't this a coincidence?

If it were in the past, Zong Jiu would not believe these things even if he were beaten to death.

But now I have no choice but to seek medical treatment urgently. In order to be able to restore his hands, whether it is science or superstition, Zong Jiu is now willing to accept anyone who comes. What if a blind cat encounters a dead mouse?

He ran back and brought over the stone on the bed that was also engraved with a six-pointed star.

He didn't know why, but he always subconsciously felt that this stone was very important.

But why is it important? I can't tell you why.

After all preparations were completed, Zong Jiu stood in front of the parchment and painstakingly made a bloody incision on his arm.

Because the plastered hand could not control the strength, blood rushed out, dripping onto the black magic sacrificial cloth, surrounding the six-pointed star stone.

There seems to be a lot of blood.

But it doesn't matter. If he dies of excessive blood loss, it can only be said to be fate.

Zong Jiu paused and began to chant a spell.

"Make an oath with my soul. O devil of hell! Please listen to my call, awaken the evil in the world, the sun sets, the light fades, and appear in front of me!"

I thought about it three times in a row, but nothing happened.

Rubbish, go online and leave a negative review immediately.

Zong Jiu curled his lips and threw away the knife, squatted down, and was about to turn around and ask the housekeeping robot to come over and clean it.

At this moment, the stone engraved with the six-pointed star suddenly lit up.

At the same time, a black hurricane was generated out of thin air on the ground. The interior of the apartment, which was spacious and bright just now, seemed to be covered with an invisible thick shadow and began to surround and occupy the surrounding area.

The young man's white hair was lifted up by the strong wind and blew behind his ears, making a rustling sound.

Zongjiu opened his eyes wide and stared at the center of the strong wind.

A familiar yet unfamiliar figure slowly walked out of it.

The man was wearing a black suit, his black hair was neatly tied behind his ears, and there was a rose on his chest. The dark golden pupils rolling with unknown emotions gradually overlapped with those in his dream.

Zongjiu swallowed nervously, "You, are you the devil who followed my summons and came from hell?"

As he asked, he cursed in his heart.

There is actually a trend for three-piece suits in these days. It’s strange. Is it so fashionable?

The demon was stunned for a moment, looked him up and down with a creepy look, and suddenly bent down and laughed.

He laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his back, his eyebrows raised, and he looked very happy: "Ah, yes, I am the devil you summoned, a cute little magician."

Zong Jiu: "..."

For some reason, my intuition was wrong, this devil didn't look serious.

On the other side, the devil had figured out that his magician seemed to have his memory sealed temporarily because of this decisive battle copy, and now he mistakenly thought he was the summoned devil.

He was quite into the play, even climbing up the pole: "My dear summoner, you summoned me, but what wish do you need me to help you fulfill?"

Zong Jiu picked up the parchment on the ground cautiously, "Yes, I want you to restore my hand. But before that, we have to confirm the content of the contract again."

The parchment reminded that the devil from hell likes to lie very much, so after the summoning, the summoner must carry the parchment with the devil's real name to prevent the other party from turning against him.

Once the other party betrays, just read out the other party's secret real name to warn him.

"Mephistopheles? Is this your name?"

Zong Jiu read out the other party's real name and felt absurd.

Isn't this the devil's name of Faust? This name is so famous that it has been recorded in the history of world literature. How can it be secret? Secret at all! Isn't this parchment really just fooling people!

The author has something to say: Parchment: I was just fooling people, I didn't expect you to really summon it

The last copy used some "Faust" memes, it was 啾啾 (pressing head) to give the devil a name 233333
