Chapter 64: Fateful Escape (Ch 64)

Zhuang Xingyao’s song ended and the music gradually died down.

As she recovered from the emotion of singing, the audience also recovered from being [enchanted].

Many people recovered from their crazy expressions, looked a little confused for a moment, and then sat back in their seats awkwardly.

Su Chenxi hurriedly went on stage, took the microphone, diverted the audience’s attention, and announced the next program in a calm tone, as if nothing had happened just now.

……

Senior Liu Yingming’s martial arts performance was also very exciting, and the crowd burst into applause.

As one show after another went by, the entire welcome party was about to usher in its last show, Zhou Ke’s magic.

After the second to last magic show, Su Chenxi cleared his throat:

“I’m sure everyone is already familiar with the performers of the last show.”

“He is the only civilian in our school, and the only winner in the three major tests.”

“The undisputed Rookie of the Year, the top of the campus popularity list, the school’s most influential person—”

“Please come in, Mr. Zhou!”

“Ohhhhhhhhh!!!” The crowd burst into enthusiastic cheers.

As the number one on the popularity list, Zhou Ke’s reputation has long been greater than Zhuang Xingyao’s.

At this moment, the audience’s emotional reaction was several times stronger than when Zhuang Xingyao came on stage.

“Zhou Ke! Zhou Ke! Zhou Ke!” There was a spontaneous roar from the audience.

Zhang Yang waved a fan sign that read “Zhou Ke! Love! Crazy fan!”: “Come on, Zhou Ke!”

Tang Xin didn’t make as big a move as Zhang Yang, but she also had an expectant look on her face.

somewhere.

A man tapped on his phone screen and typed in a message:

“It’s guest Zhou’s show.”

[Are you sure it’s foolproof? ]

“Yes. I have already analyzed the contents of Zhou Ke’s magic in advance, and there is no mistake.”

[The humanoid killing machine has also been arranged? ]

“Of course, I hid him in a place Zhou Ke would never expect.”

The man stared at the curtain on the stage.

“There are three seconds left before he goes on stage.”

Not only the men, but all the students in the school were staring at the red curtain with excitement.

3……

2……

1……

?

The curtain was silent.

Zhou Ke did not show up.

Su Chenxi stood on one side of the stage, also looking confused.

“What’s going on?” a student whispered in the audience.

Bang!

The lights in the venue suddenly went out.

“what happens?”

The students in the audience looked at each other in confusion and whispered to each other.

Bang!

There was another explosion.

The light suddenly hit the curtain!

All the lights were turned off and it was very dark, which made the round bright spot stand out even more, making it particularly dazzling!

“Ladies and gentlemen!” Zhou Ke’s voice came from all directions and echoed throughout the auditorium.

“magic–“

“Let’s start!”

His voice is high, full and very contagious.

At this moment, background music suddenly sounded.

The elegant and long symphony echoed.

Swish!!!

Countless playing cards poured down from above the stage.

Then, two groups of white doves flew by, picking up the two ends of the red curtain in their beaks and gradually pulling it open to both sides.

Zhou Ke’s figure suddenly appeared behind the poker waterfall rain!

He was wearing a black and white ceremonial robe dotted with glittering silver sequins, which was particularly dazzling under the light.

He was flying and circling in the air, and then he actually flew towards the audience seats!

The dress fluttered in the air, and Zhou Ke’s hair was lifted up repeatedly.

The audience erupted in cheers that echoed throughout the auditorium, and applauded enthusiastically.

Zhou Ke walked around the auditorium for a full circle before reluctantly returning to the top of the stage and slowly descending.

Finally, tap your toes lightly on the ground.

This was just the beginning, but it ignited the emotions of all the students.

Light sticks were flying, and shouts came one after another: “Zhou Ke! Zhou Ke! Zhou Ke!”

……

Zhou Ke stood in the center of the stage, feeling the gaze of the audience and bathing in the baptism of the stage lights.

He bowed slightly, then gracefully produced a rose from his hand and threw it into the audience.

Some of the audience stood up quickly and scrambled for the roses thrown by Zhou Ke.

This scene was even crazier than when Zhuang Xingyao’s magic element got out of control.

Of course, Zhou Ke also put a lot of effort into this magic.

Although his main purpose was to use this magic show to find out the conditions for triggering the divine card and the chance to escape death.

However, as a magician, he still has to have basic professional qualities.

Presenting a wonderful magic show is also what Zhou Ke pursues.

For this performance, he specially spent money to buy a set of fancy clothes, did his hair, and even put on some makeup.

This makes his current image like a celebrity artist, even more handsome than usual.

Zhou Ke clapped his hands and signaled the audience to be quiet.

All the students in the audience immediately stopped their enthusiastic noise, but they couldn’t contain their ignited emotions and looked at Zhou Ke expectantly.

Zhou Ke spoke slowly:

“Magic is an ancient and mysterious art.”

“It allows me, a commoner, to exert similar effects to [Superpowers].”

“What happened just now was just a warm-up. What’s coming next is the main event.”

Bang!

He clapped his hands twice.

Instantly, the entire stage shook slightly.

In the center of the stage, on the raised wooden floor, a secret door suddenly popped open, and then a [column-shaped object] slowly rose up.

A large water tank.

One meter wide and two and a half meters high.

It was filled with clear water that glowed blue.

As the water tank rises, the water surface shakes.

Boom!!!

There was another loud noise.

The lights moved up again, reaching the top of the stage.

I saw a large transparent [glass box] slowly descending with an iron rod tied to it.

This glass box is like a smaller version of the water tank below.

The difference is——

The water tank is full of water.

And the glass box above is filled with——

A piranha with sharp teeth.

Zhou Ke stepped forward slowly:

“Everyone, ordinary magic tricks are certainly not worthy of our welcome party.”

“So, if I want to change, I have to change into the most exciting one!”

“Now, I’m going to tell you honestly, if this magic fails, I will–“

“With your life.”

After Zhou Ke said this, the whole audience was in an uproar.

Many people gasped.

“But challenging yourself is exactly what a good magician needs to do!”

“I will gag myself, tie myself up, and make sure I can’t use the magic items.”

“Then, jump into the water tank.”

“Then I will try to free myself from the restraints and escape from the tank.”

“Time limit – one minute.”

Zhou Ke paused and continued:

“Of course. I see some of you have doubtful looks on your faces.”

“One minute. It won’t kill anyone. Why would you risk your life?”

Zhou Ke smiled and raised a hand, pointing to the glass box filled with piranhas above:

“After one minute, the base of this glass box will automatically pop open.”

“At that time, whether I was in the tank or not, the piranhas would–“

“Everyone, down!”

“If I hadn’t escaped, I would have been torn to pieces by these ferocious tropical fish!”

“Everyone——”

Zhou Ke’s voice became louder, and the background music reached its first climax:

“Welcome to watch my magic–“

“Desperate escape!”
