Song Dandan has a saying, celebrities without scandals are not celebrities.
This sentence is very suitable for Chris. As a world-class new generation magic master, Chris's popularity is not weaker than that of the world's superstars.
Especially in Los Angeles, Chris's nominal home base, this phenomenon of pursuit is even more prominent.
"I found it. Chris is staying at the Four Seasons Hotel. His check-in time was two days ago. And at 8:30 tonight, Chris will hold a large-scale magic show in the hotel lobby."
Dave found the news about Chris on Twitter and it was announced by Chris’ official spokesperson.
It has to be said that for a celebrity like Chris, there is no secret in his every move. As for the check-in time two days ago, Wu Ming could match Horvath's schedule after careful consideration.
I really don’t know whether Horvath was right or wrong in asking Chris to be his assistant.
Chris, a public figure under the spotlight, must have caused Horvath great confusion.
"It's very high-profile! I'm afraid Chris himself doesn't regard himself as a dark wizard anymore. Haha, times have really changed, and dark wizards have begun to become more friendly to the people!" Wu Ming had a sneer on his lips. During the medieval black and white wizard war, wizards on both sides
Hiding and hiding, living like a mouse.
But look at now, the future leader of the white wizards is attending college in a prestigious university. And the new generation of black wizards have given up the inhumane human experiments and entered the international stage.
Wu Ming didn't know whether this was due to factors of the times or whether people's ideas had shifted.
But it has to be said that if there is no intervention from the older generation of wizards and these new generation wizards are allowed to develop slowly on their own, I am afraid that in a few years, there will no longer be any distinction between black and white among wizards in this world.
"Mentor, this Chris is so high-profile, will Horvath still come to see him?"
"Why not? Horvath is the only remaining veteran of the dark wizard side. His life has been closely related to luxury. Do you think that with Horvath's character, he would hide in the sewers and quietly escape for a month?
?”
Wu Ming shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "Don't be stupid, Horvath is a very proud man. Letting him hide in the sewer is probably more outrageous than killing him. And although Chris is high-profile, he is Morgana
Heir to the throne, Horvath's natural ally. If I had to choose, I would gather as many people as possible instead of hiding in a dark corner and waiting for death.
Therefore, what we need to think about now is not the problem that they will not be there yet, but how to defeat them one by one. After all, with our strength, even if Horvath is seriously injured, we will not be able to take the initiative 100%!"
"That Chris is very strong?" Dave hesitated for a moment after hearing that the strength of both sides was about the same.
Los Angeles is an international metropolis, and a war between the two sides would definitely be a nightmare for ordinary people.
Although Dave is a magician, his life has integrated into the world of ordinary people. If he had a choice, he would rather choose the battlefield in a deserted park than in a hotel where a magic show is held.
"A conservative estimate is that Chris's level should be about the same as yours. And Horvath, who is seriously injured, is still better than me. This is a tough battle."
Wu Ming saw Dave's concerns and said: "Let's do this. In order to avoid casualties and to avoid Chris, join forces with Horvath. It's better for us to defeat them one by one instead of fighting one on one.
.”
"What do you want to do? Separate them, take down one as quickly as possible, and then deal with the other one?"
"That's about it. Let's go to the hotel first and then discuss countermeasures."
After Wu Ming finished speaking, he stopped a taxi and took the three of them to the Four Seasons Hotel.
There was no talking all the way, the car was driving on the highway, getting closer and closer to the destination.
Wu Ming looked out the window the whole time, while Dave in the back seat was whispering to Peggy, as if he was really traveling.
"Sir, the Four Seasons Hotel has arrived!"
Under the gaze of the taxi driver, Wu Ming and the others got out of the car and looked up at the large banner that had been pulled up outside the Four Seasons Hotel.
At this time, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.
Because Chris will have a large-scale magic show here tonight, many reporters arrived first to grab a good spot.
"Hello sir, are you here to watch Master Chris's magic show tonight?"
As soon as Wu Ming and the others walked in, a reporter rushed up, obviously looking for news.
"Yes..."
Looking at the recorder in the reporter's hand, Wu Ming smiled softly and said with a pun: "I like Christine's magic very much, so I came all the way from New York. I hope tonight's performance will not disappoint me!"
Wu Ming emphasized the word "disappointment" very hard, and the expression on his face that was half-smiling but not smiling was seen by reporters as a look of expectation.
"Hello, listeners, this is the Voice of Radio, recorded live at the Four Seasons Hotel. Currently, because of Master Chris, magic enthusiasts from all over the country have gathered in the Four Seasons Hotel. We have reason to believe that,
This will be a very successful magic show, we..."
Amid the chatter of reporters, Wu Ming pushed through the crowd and entered the hotel lobby.
In the lobby of the hotel, many celebrities from all walks of life gathered here to talk about Chris's great achievements.
It has to be said that if a magician disguises himself as a magician, it is impossible not to succeed.
However, Wu Ming has no intention of participating in the praise from these fans because he still has business to do.
"How much is Chris's room?" Standing in front of the service desk, Wu Ming put his hands on the bar and asked the waiter softly.
"I'm sorry, sir, our hotel has regulations and residents' information cannot be exposed."
The waiter had a professional smile on his face and a sarcastic look in the corner of his eyes, indicating that there were really many people asking this question.
"tell me..."
Wu Ming did not argue, but gently shook the ring on his right hand, and a red light flashed on the ring.
"Okay, okay sir."
The waiter's eyes were blank for a while, and he quickly typed on the computer with his hands, and answered mechanically: "It's on the twelfth floor of the hotel, room number 303."
"Let's check to see if any of Chris's friends have stayed here in the past two days. That person is wearing a top hat and holding a cane inlaid with sapphires."
"Yes, that gentleman is Chris's friend. He lives next door to Mr. Chris, room number 304."
"very good..."
Wu Ming had a smile on his face, walked towards the elevator without looking back, and said, "Get us a room, right next to Mr. Chris."
...Ding...
The elevator door opened automatically, and Wu Ming and the others hid inside.
The last sight of the three people was the waiter with blank eyes, entering identity information in front of the computer, and that information happened to be his own.
"Teacher, you are really good! Not only did you use magic to control the waiter, but even more outrageous, you also asked him to swipe his card to serve us! I don't know if the waiter will go crazy when he realizes this.
!”
In the elevator, Dave curled his lips and denounced Wu Ming for what he had done.
Hearing Dave's complaint, Wu Ming shook his head disapprovingly, feeling that Dave was really hopeless.
Magicians and ordinary people belong to two classes in themselves.
In Wu Ming's perception, it is completely normal to use the power of magic to benefit himself.
Although from a moral point of view, it was a bit crazy to let the waiter swipe the card.
But Wu Ming is not a stickler for rules. In his eyes, this small problem is nothing.
