Thriller Trainee
243. Faust
What the devil didn't expect was that this was just the beginning.
A lot of people came to tonight's performance, and the huge theater was packed. It is said that a ticket was sold at a sky-high price.
Of course the devil does not need to buy a ticket. After the lights dimmed, he walked out of the shadows and stared at the stage in the distance.
Although after going out today, the magician told him to stay in the hotel and not make trouble.
But will the devil listen? Obviously not. The only one who was worried was Zong Jiu, who was afraid that he would release this devil from hell and cause harm to the world.
There were many people in the theater, and whispers filled the theater.
"I didn't expect that Mr. Zong's hand would actually recover. When I read the reports, I thought he would bid farewell to the stage forever. I didn't expect that a miracle would actually happen now."
"Yes, I am so happy to be able to see my husband on stage again. I really like him."
"I hope there will be no problems, and I hope today's performance will go well. Come on, sir!"
"Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!"
On the stage, the white-haired magician showed a skillful smile, the magic wand in his hand jumped and danced, and the cards were suspended among the slender figures, looking as if they would never fall down.
The light fell from a high place, dyeing his hair with a touch of warm color, making his whole body shine more and more dazzlingly, like a luminous body with its own light source, it was incredible to see.
The eyes of everyone present were focused on him. With every unexpected move he made, there were bursts of exclamations and thunderous applause. Some people even screamed for their husbands with blushing faces and stretched out their hands to catch the magician who was scattered on the stage. playing cards.
The devil was in a very bad mood.
He hated it when the magician was stared at by others, as if something that belonged to him was coveted by others, and he was very angry.
Obviously, in the eyes of the devil, these people are extremely ordinary souls, and they are not worthy of him taking a second look among the crowd. It only takes one glance for the devil to see clearly the vulgarity hidden beneath their skin.
Magicians always pay so much attention to these ants and focus on unnecessary people.
In contrast, Zongjiu was in a good mood today.
He didn't know why, but even though it was only a month, he always felt as if he had been away from this stage for a long time, as if he had been away from this world for so long.
But although he was in a good mood, he didn't have the excitement he used to have when he was standing on the stage.
It's really strange. Acting has always been his favorite thing, so why does he have such an illusion?
It's like... this show is nothing compared to another more exciting thing.
"Thanks everyone for watching."
After the performance, he saluted toward the bottom of the stage. Amidst the cheers and hat-taking sounds of the audience, the red curtains hanging on both sides of the Grand Theater slowly began to fall.
Looking up, he saw the devil leaning against the wall, blending into the shadows with an evil look on his face.
It's strange to say that there are so many people in the audience, but Zong Jiu only needs to glance at them, and his eyes will unconsciously focus on the other person.
If he is a source of light, then the devil is a black hole. At a glance, he is the most out of place.
Zongjiu: "..."
I knew this person would not be so honest, so I followed him anyway.
Just as it was over, the magician gave the other party a warning look and walked slowly towards the backstage.
Zong Jiu sincerely hopes that the devil will not cause trouble.
This performance is more important because it is the first one after the resumption of work. Many news media and industry insiders are paying attention to this performance, so Zongjiu also specially arranged some showoffs just now, and even put together a set of performances that have been performed so far. Card tricks that no one has cracked yet were brought to the stage, pushing the atmosphere to the highest point.
I think after this performance, the whole magic circle was shocked again.
Of course, at the same time, after the performance, Zong Jiu had to go to the banquet hall upstairs to attend a small press conference. After the press conference, you still need to spend a few words with the sponsors.
"Brother Ninth, the media is already waiting."
The agent came up quickly and handed over the coat in his hand.
Zongjiu put on his windbreaker and hurried upstairs through the special passage backstage.
There were many sponsor representatives coming to judge this event, and the media had been waiting upstairs for a long time.
Almost as soon as the white-haired magician walked in, the flashlights and microphones followed closely behind, squeezing towards him.
"Mr. Zong, what's going on with your hands? Relevant people have revealed a few days ago that there is no possibility of recovery of your hands. Are they completely healed now?"
"Mr. Zong, was it the mysterious magic that no one had cracked for nearly a hundred years that you performed on the stage just now?"
"gentlemen......"
The agent separated these media and reporters, "Sorry, please ask one by one."
However, no matter how many people there are in the team, they cannot stop the enthusiasm of these people.
However, the next second, the impatient Zongjiu threw out a few cards and pinned them in front of them.
Looking at the cards submerged into the wooden floor, the entire small conference room suddenly fell into silence.
The agent quickly wiped his sweat: "Ah hahaha, this is magic, a little magic."
Not only the media, but even Zongjiu also stared at the cards on the ground.
He knew clearly that this was not magic. Instead, he nailed the cards into the wooden floor with just his wrist strength.
But this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Zongjiu is sure that he has no interest in throwing cards casually before.
And...at that moment, countless blurry pictures seemed to flash through his mind.
There was a scene where he coldly threw out the cards and chopped off the black-haired devil's hair, but the other party pressed him against the door and slipped a black room card into the door. There are countless cards scattered around, and he bites one of them and raises his eyes provocatively. And him...
Scene after scene flashed back like a revolving lantern, but when Zong Jiu wanted to step forward to see more clearly, these scenes disappeared again and were hidden in the depths of his mind. He couldn't find them at all. Instead, he started stitching head first. I felt a stinging pain, and cold sweat broke out on my forehead.
What on earth are these... If it happened before, why doesn't he have any memory? But if it hadn't happened before, why did he feel so familiar? Dizzyingly familiar?
"Brother Ninth, Brother Ninth?"
The manager's voice brought him back to his senses, "Are you not feeling well? Do you want to take a rest first?"
Zongjiu raised his hands to show that he was fine. He waited until the fragmentary images deep in his head disappeared, then raised his eyes again.
"let's start."
He said towards the dark camera in front of him.
...
Next is the meeting with the sponsors.
Although Zongjiu hates socializing, living in this world, no matter how much he hates any kind of social relationship, he can't avoid dealing with the same kind of people, or even making excuses.
Perhaps because he looked really bad, the sponsors also expressed sufficient concern.
There is no doubt that Zong Jiu's commercial value is enough for them to treat him politely. So after discussions, the sponsors decided to postpone the tour indefinitely and wait for a two-month break before making a decision.
There are two reasons for this. One is that all the doctors who initially consulted Zongjiu stated that even if his hands were miraculously restored, they would not be able to perform strenuous performances again in such a short period of time. In order to ensure that the money tree can continue to generate money, hand injuries naturally have to be given 300% attention.
The second reason is that after this incident, Zongjiu's reputation has once again surged internationally. Even some outsiders who are not interested in magic are also interested in the deeds of this great magician's disabled hands and recovery. Heard something. Not to mention that this time Zong Jiu also showed a superior ability than before. It is better to quit quickly and take a two-month rest to whet the appetite of others and increase the commercial value in an honest way.
Zongjiu agreed.
He drank two glasses of wine with me and then left in a hurry.
Wynn's night is a bit cold.
In February, the average temperature here is only single digits, and you can feel the chill in the sky at night.
Bypassing the bustling crowd, Zongjiu walked aimlessly to the edge of the Danube River.
In order not to be recognized, he was fully armed. Not only did he tie his hair into a hat, he also wore sunglasses and a mask.
The colored lights hanging from the trees were strung together with golden tassels. The theater hall in the distance was brightly lit.
Zongjiu remembered that the last time he came to this city was when he came to listen to the New Year's concert alone a few years ago. He still remembered it vividly.
This memory is not fake. So which memory did he lose?
"Brother, this flower is for you."
Just as he was deep in thought, a soft voice suddenly came from behind him.
Zong Jiu turned around and saw a little girl holding a flower basket in her hand, wearing a Cupid turban on her head, her little face turned red from the cold.
Looking at the bright red rose in her hand, the magician was in a trance for a moment.
Because he was immersed in his own thoughts just now, Zong Jiu didn't notice for a moment that all the people walking together on the street were couples, and the shops on the street also displayed roses and flowers. The look of love.
It's February, and in a few days it will be Valentine's Day.
"elder brother?"
Seeing that he didn't respond, the little girl tremblingly raised the flower basket in her hand above her head: "A big brother just bought all my flowers. He said, let me pass these flowers to you."
The white-haired magician suddenly raised his eyes.
Under the streetlight in the distance, the black-haired devil was leaning on the telephone pole in boredom, staring lazily here.
Even from a distance, Zong Jiu was sure that the other party must have shown that unexplained, devilish smile again.
"Thanks."
He looked away, bent down, and picked up all the flowers in the little girl's flower basket.
Seeing him accept it, the little girl raised her head curiously: "Brother, is the big brother over there your lover?"
Zong Jiu was stunned for a moment, then quickly replied: "No."
"However, roses are only given to those you like. Since the elder brother and the eldest brother are not lovers, the eldest brother must like the elder brother, so he bought these flowers to give to the elder brother."
The little girl clapped her fingers in distress, "These roses are very expensive."
Then I'm sure he didn't pay.
Zongjiu opened his wallet with black lines on his head, touched the little girl's head, and stuffed the banknotes into the flower basket.
He wanted to refute, but he didn't know how to refute.
In the end, I can only say: "We are not lovers, we are..."
Two words flashed through his mind quickly, and he almost blurted out, "It's an enemy, an eternal enemy."
The author has something to say: Little girl: Don’t think that because I am young, you can fool me. Which enemy would give roses? ? ?
