"Triel, you are not allowed to go."
Viscount Harrington said seriously, calling his daughter's nickname.
"Yes, my sweetheart, magic is very dangerous. Just sit on your chair and watch the show."
Mrs. Harrington was also trying to persuade them earnestly.
But Tracy was already bewitched by the magician on the stage. Her face flushed and for the first time, she had rebellious thoughts in her heart.
She has always been strictly disciplined by her father, but Tracy has a side that her father does not know. She yearns for freedom and an unrestrained life, and she admires the female characters in the scripts who bravely pursue themselves, and she thinks that one day she can be like them.
So this time, she did not listen to Viscount , but ran onto the stage holding up her skirt.
Chen Lun ignored Viscount Harrington's "murderous" look and gave a polite smile.
"What a brave lady! May I ask your name?"
he asked in a gentle voice.
"Tracy...Tracy Harrington, you can call me Terry, Mr. Jack."
The young girl said shyly.
The audience was extremely surprised. It was Viscount Harrington's daughter!
If something unexpected happened during this performance, Viscount Harrington would be furious...
Hoyle backstage couldn't help but take a deep breath, his heart tense, and prayed silently that Mr. Jack could perform perfectly.
"Okay, Miss Trill, please stand over here."
Chen Lun chuckled and led the girl to stand in front of a wooden board as tall as a person.
Tracy looked up at the magician in front of him from a close distance and found that he was even more handsome than she imagined. Her heart beat faster.
The blush on her face was so red that it seemed like it might bleed.
His voice was also very pleasant, which made Tracy feel a little dizzy.
Next to Tracy, Covey, the three deformed dwarfs, and the Selena sisters were leaning against a wooden board.
Chen Lun retreated twenty meters, waved his hand, and a small knife appeared between his fingers.
"This next performance is going to be exciting. It's called 'The Next Piece of Meat on the Chopping Block'!"
As he spoke, he threw the knife into the air.
There was a sharp whistling sound.
The audience looked up and heard a crisp ping sound.
A light bulb on the ceiling was instantly shattered by a knife and the light went out.
The audience exclaimed.
"Oh! This is too dangerous!"
"If we make a mistake, those people will die, right?!"
Mrs. Harrington suddenly became restless. She urged her husband to stop the performance and bring her daughter back.
But Viscount Harrington had a dark face, suppressed his anger, and did not stand up.
He was an aristocratic leader who cared a lot about his face and dignity. Although he loved his daughter Tracy very much, he would not go on stage to pull his daughter up in public.
Such disrespectful behavior is like that of a clown.
Viscount Harrington couldn't do it, nor did he want to do it.
"Just let her do whatever she wants! If anything goes wrong, it's her own fault!"
Viscount Harrington said coldly.
His wife almost cried in frustration, but she couldn't resist her husband.
At the same time, she also knew that Harrington was such a person. The Viscount always said what he meant, and no one dared to contradict him.
The performance then began.
The magician in black clothes waved his hand, and four flying knives appeared between his fingers. He even demonstrated them in front of the audience.
Then he threw it away without looking back.
Boom boom boom!
The four throwing knives drew a straight line and landed directly on both sides of Miss Tracy's cheeks and the elbows on both sides of her chest, embedding deeply into the wooden board, but she was unharmed.
The whole audience was in an uproar.
“It’s amazing!”
"My sun!"
"This is more accurate than the Archer!"
Tracy was originally immersed in the magician's sweet thoughts, but was suddenly interrupted . Her heartbeat accelerated, and blood rushed to her brain. She was startled by the powerful muffled sound beside her ears and the trembling sound of the knife nailed on the wooden board.
This was the first time in her life that she had been so close to death.
But for some reason, after the fear and panic, she felt a greater admiration and worship for the tall and handsome figure in black.
Amid the exclamations of the audience, three flying knives appeared in each of Chen Lun's hands and he threw them backwards.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...!
There was a burst of dense muffled sounds, followed by a shrill scream.
“Ah! Ah!!”
"ah……!"
I saw that there was a flying knife nailed on the palm of the mustache Kewei, the deformed dwarf and the sisters, and blood was flowing.
The audience was stunned by this scene.
"This...is this a mistake?!"
"It's horrible! They're all bleeding and screaming!"
Chen Lun turned around, showing a "surprised" expression, and then explained:
"Ah... sorry, my hand slipped."
He walked straight up to Kewei and the others, pulled out the knives one by one, causing another round of wailing.
Chen Lun looked at the guys who were awakened by the severe pain, and a creepy smile appeared on his face. He waved his hand, and a green light that was imperceptible to others flashed by.
The injuries on Kewei and others miraculously disappeared.
Then he turned and bowed slightly to the audience.
"Those injuries are gone! It turned out to be a performance... I was shocked!"
"It was so realistic that I was fooled!"
"A magician who can't deceive is not a good magician!"
“Incredible show!”
The fear on the audience's faces was quickly replaced by excitement. They clapped wildly, and many people stood up and shouted Jack's name.
Chen Lun ignored the pleading eyes of Kewei and others and continued to control them with [Siren Song]. Several people could only watch this terrible magician turn around and leave, while their bodies were out of control and they fell into confusion again.
Chen Lun returned to the edge of the stage and distanced himself from the guests.
The throwing knife in his hand appeared again, he smiled at the audience and continued throwing without looking back.
The knives thrown at Miss Tracy all followed the outline of her body.
Each cut stabbed into the wooden board.
At the same time, every knife was like Cupid's arrow, piercing her heart.
Tracy was no longer afraid. Instead, her face became more shy and her eyes became brighter.
However, the flying knives that flew towards Kewei and others hit their bodies just right every time, either their palms, ankles, shoulders or thighs.
Each time they woke up from the severe pain, they screamed and fell into hypnosis. Then Chen Lun treated them, and the audience smiled knowingly, enjoying such a "scam".
Even the audience admired the superb "acting skills" of Kewei and others, who portrayed the pain of being stabbed vividly.
It's worthy of being in this line of work.
The pain came again, and Kewei and others screamed.
The audience was very excited and applauded vigorously.
The eyes of Kewei and others were somewhat numb and dull. Their pupils revealed a fear and awe from the bottom of their hearts, reflecting the figure of the young man in black and his smile, as if he was a devil walking on earth.
They don't want to suffer like this anymore!
They wanted to scream, cry, or even curse hysterically!
But none of them can do it.
Until his injuries recovered.
But the scars left in these people's hearts can no longer be healed. Like rotten flesh with thousands of holes in it, it will completely rot inside the body, dragging them towards the abyss of madness.
Tracy walked away from the wooden board full of throwing knives. Chen Lun pulled her to the center of the stage and snapped his fingers.
Bang!
The flying knife on the wooden board was pulled out of thin air and circled over the heads of the two people as if it was controlled.
Finally, a "rain of knives" suddenly began to fall from the sky.
Under the shocked gazes of the audience and Tracy, Chen Lun took Tracy's hand and danced casually in the "rain".
The flying knives brushed past the two of them, but the magician and the noble lady were always able to avoid being hurt, and the flying knives didn't even hurt a hair on their heads.
In the end, the floor was filled with knives, like a carpet covered with iron nails.
Chen Lun and Tracy stood among them.
He touched his chest and saluted to the audience, and the stage curtain was drawn.
The audience fell into silence for dozens of seconds.
Then.
The whole audience was boiling again!
…
…
…
The magic show at the City Garden Theater was an unprecedented success.
The audience who witnessed the performance in person spared no effort to share their experiences with their relatives and friends, and praised the magician named "Jack" to the skies.
And everyone who heard the rumor would show an expression of disbelief, which would then turn into questioning and a verbal battle with the person who retold the rumor.
But as the matter developed, many people who did not believe it chose to be half-believing and half-doubting... because there were so many people who praised it, and most of them had prominent identities and status, so what they said was more convincing.
The reputation of City Garden rose like a rocket, almost approaching the title of the No. 1 theater in Peacock City.
But Hoyle's mood now is extremely complicated.
Because he found that the performance troupe in the theater, the magician Covey, the deformed dwarf group and the sisters, all went crazy after they went on stage as guests.
They lost their sanity as human beings and became completely crazy. Because they could no longer communicate normally and continue to perform, they were forced to be sent to the mental hospital in Peacock City for treatment.
Hoyle knew that this was most likely the work of Mr. Jack.
Through the broken rope on the stage, Hoyle quickly found several staff members of the theater. After some coercion and inducement, he successfully uncovered the conspiracy of Covey and his two brothers.
Originally, Covey and others only intended to ruin this performance, but later Gadson and Lance contacted them, promising them benefits and promises, asking Covey and others to escalate the "performance accident" and completely ruin the reputation of the theater.
Then Kewei and others will get a large sum of money and leave Peacock City.
Hoyle was both shocked and angry and frightened.
He was determined not to expose Mr. Jack, and was even grateful to him for what he had done for the theater.
As for what happened to Kewei and others, it was all their own fault!
Only now, Hoyle found Mr. Jack more and more mysterious.
He thought of the "mysterious realm and extraordinary people" that his father had mentioned to him, but he did not dare to confirm it. He just silently guarded this "secret" in his heart.
A few days after the show.
Hoyle once again received news that shocked him.
His two good brothers, Gadson and Lance, suddenly became crazy when they were having a party at home. This incident alarmed other brothers and sisters and even made his father furious.
"Mr. Jack, did you do this too...?"
Hoyle became uneasy.
…
…
…
"Of course not."
Chen Lun smiled at the girl Tracy in front of him.
The daughter of Viscount Harrington actually came to the winery alone to find him and asked if he was busy.
"Since Mr. Jack has time now, I would like to invite you to go out for a walk... Well, I heard from Mr. Hoyle that you seem to have just arrived in Peacock City and must be unfamiliar with it. I think I can take you around the city. I know a lot of fun places."
Tracy invited in a very ladylike tone.
She was dressed up beautifully today, wearing her favorite goose yellow long skirt, a brimless hat on her head, two long braids showing behind her head, and an exquisite parasol in her hand.
Chen Lun gave a polite smile.
"Of course, I'd love to, Miss Trill."
