At this moment, the customers in the bar could no longer pay attention to anything else, their eyes fixed on the stage.
Shock, confusion, and panic flashed in their eyes.
It could be said that the scene unfolding on the stage completely exceeded their expectations.
Just then, the two Lin Yes on the stage continued to fight, and the mirrored figure who had been stabbed did not seem to be hurt.
The next second, one of the Lin Yes suddenly had a rapier in his hand, and the other, seeing this, also conjured a rapier, unwilling to be outdone.
The two Lin Yes then dueled on the stage.
After fighting for a while, one of them directly pierced the other's body with his sword.
The Lin Ye who was impaled by the longsword reeled back repeatedly, eventually retreating to the edge of the mirror.
Seizing this opportunity, the unharmed Lin Ye suddenly grabbed his neck and pressed him into the mirror.
“Get in there!”
Watching this scene, the hearts of the audience members in attendance jumped into their throats.
However, at this very moment, the lights in the bar suddenly went out.
In an instant, the entire bar plunged into darkness.
The darkness did not last too long; in less than two seconds, the lights came back on.
The moment the lights came back on, everyone present instinctively looked towards the stage.
When they saw the scene on the stage clearly, they once again showed expressions of shock.
There was no one on the stage at this time; the two Lin Yes who had just been fighting had both disappeared.
Only an empty dressing mirror stood alone in the middle of the stage.
Under the spotlight, the originally unremarkable dressing mirror now exuded a hint of unusual eeriness.
Suddenly, the mirror moved without anyone touching it.
Then, a cracking sound came from the mirror surface.
Under the gaze of countless eyes, cracks began to appear on the mirror surface, spreading across the entire mirror.
Crack!
The large dressing mirror instantly fell apart, and glass shards scattered all over the floor.
And just as the glass shards fell to the ground, a white mask also dropped out of the mirror.
At this moment, the large bar was once again silent, everyone seemingly frozen in place.
The next second, Lin Ye’s sinister voice suddenly came from the speakers on both sides of the stage.
“I’ll be back!”
This sudden remark once again sent shivers down everyone’s spines.
A chilling atmosphere spread throughout the bar.
Just as everyone was looking at each other, cheerful music once again sounded in the bar.
And amidst this cheerful music, a figure slowly walked onto the stage from the side, and in front of everyone, he bent down and picked up the pure white mask from the ground.
“Ladies and gentlemen, my magic show has concluded. Thank you for watching.”
“If the performance just now startled anyone, I sincerely apologize.”
“Everything presented on stage was merely a pure performance. Please do not take it seriously, and please believe in science.”
“Thank you, thank you everyone!”
As he spoke, Lin Ye, dressed in a black tuxedo, slowly took off his top hat and bowed deeply to the audience.
During this process, he also took out the dagger and rapier he had used in the performance and poked them with his hand.
The dagger immediately retracted the moment it was poked, and the rapier did the same.
It was only then that everyone in the bar seemed to awaken from a dream.
In an instant, enthusiastic applause erupted in the bar, and the expressions of the people who had just been immersed in the terrifying atmosphere suddenly became excited.
“Hahaha, I knew it! How could such a thing really happen? That must have all been magic effects.”
“So the props were fake! I was really fooled by him; I was so scared I almost called the police.”
“Me too, I was scared to death just now. Honestly, this Magician’s acting is really good.”
“I’ve seen a lot of magic, but this kind of magic with a storyline is truly a first for me. It’s interesting, really too interesting.”
“If he hadn’t said they were fake, I wouldn’t dare to sleep tonight. Even if I did sleep, I’d have to cover the mirror with something.”
“Wait, even if the props are fake, how do you explain that mirrored person just now? He clearly looked exactly like the Magician himself.”
“Don’t you understand there’s something called special effects makeup? Plus, the stage lighting was so dim. Haven’t you seen so many makeup artists online who look exactly like celebrities after their makeup?”
“Is there a possibility they’re twins?”
“Although I don’t know the specific principle, this last magic trick really gave me too many surprises. I feel like it would be a disservice to his wonderful performance if I didn’t spend a bit more.”
“He’s the most amazing Magician I’ve ever seen. I’m definitely coming back tomorrow.”
“The magic show is like magic itself, amazing, truly amazing.”
.......
At this moment, everyone had already forgotten the terrifying scene from before, their hearts filled with admiration for Lin Ye.
At the same time, the woman with sunglasses sitting in the booth also had an incredibly excited expression.
At this moment, she was no different from the other customers present, her heart filled with shock.
“Brilliant! Truly brilliant! I even find it hard to tell if what he just performed was actually magic.”
“Jason’s magic is completely child’s play compared to his, and these all seem to be original magic tricks. If he conceived all of them himself, then he is definitely a top-tier magic genius. Such a talent is exactly what our Magic Mirror needs.”
“As long as we properly cultivate and package him, he will definitely become a rising star.”
After saying this with emotion, the woman with sunglasses turned to her female assistant, who was applauding, and said:
“Monica, Monica!”
“Sister, what’s wrong?” The assistant, realizing, quickly asked.
“Go get that Magician’s contact information, then give him my business card, and tell him I’d like to talk to him privately. Let’s set the time for tomorrow afternoon at two o’clock.”
As she spoke, the woman with sunglasses took out a business card from her pocket.
The assistant, taking the business card, suddenly asked a question.
“What if he doesn’t want to meet you?”
“Just tell him who I am, and he’ll be willing to meet me,” the woman with sunglasses said confidently.
“Alright, then I’ll go.”
With that, the assistant got up and walked towards Lin Ye.
At this time, Lin Ye was already surrounded by a group of enthusiastic female customers. Some were asking for his contact information, some were giving gifts, and some were simply taking advantage of the situation.
Lin Ye was quite helpless about this.
It took him a good while to finally send these enthusiastic customers away.
He casually touched his face and found his palm covered in lipstick.
As he smiled bitterly in helplessness, a wet wipe was handed to him.
Along with the wet wipe came Hu Die’s slightly teasing voice.
“It seems you’re becoming more and more popular now.”
After taking the wet wipe, Lin Ye wiped his face and said with a bitter smile:
“Being too popular doesn’t seem to be a good thing either.”
“You’ll get used to this kind of life soon. Oh, by the way, here’s something for you.”
As she spoke, Hu Die handed over a box.
When Lin Ye saw the box, his expression couldn't help but freeze, because it was clearly an unopened phone box, and it looked like the latest model of a fruit-brand phone.
“This is...”
“Consider it my employee benefit for you. Your phone is too old; yesterday I saw it took you forever to open Green Bubble, so I picked one up for you while I was shopping today.”
Hearing Hu Die’s words, Lin Ye also looked at the hundred-yuan phone he had received when he got his phone card for school.
“Then thank you, Sister. I’ll accept this phone.”
“Mm, when you go back, get a new SIM card. When they ask for your contact information in the future, just add them with that number. Otherwise, you won’t have any peace.”
As she spoke, Hu Die casually pulled out a cigarette and lit it for herself.
“Alright, it’s getting late. Go back early, and be safe on the way.”
“Okay, I’m also ready to go back.”
Just as Lin Ye was about to turn around, he suddenly thought of something and looked at Hu Die with a serious expression.
“Sister, do you have any recent dilemmas, or things that require you to make a decision?”
“Hmm? A dilemma? Let me think. It seems there really is one, but this matter can only be decided by me, and no one can help me.”
“That’s not necessarily true. You tell me first.”
Hu Die smiled upon hearing this, but then her smile disappeared.
“Sister is about to undergo a small surgery, and I want to know if I can safely get off the operating table.”
As soon as these words came out, Lin Ye’s expression instantly froze.
After some hesitation, he took out the fairy silver coin, tossed it high in front of Hu Die, and then grabbed it.
When he opened his hand and looked at the coin, his eyes couldn’t help but subtly change.
However, the next second, a smile returned to his face.
“Sister, don’t worry, you will definitely complete the surgery successfully this time. What I say is always very accurate; if you don’t believe me, go ask the customers over there.”
Hu Die also smiled upon hearing this.
“Okay, then I believe you.”
After exchanging a few pleasantries with Hu Die, Lin Ye turned and walked towards the bar’s exit.
As he turned, the smile on his face disappeared.
Because when the coin fell just now, it landed on the reverse side.
