Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko opened their eyes in surprise: "It's so amazing. All the threads have obviously been cut... How is this controlled?"
Conan came back to his senses and said casually: "Of course it's because there are other thin strings on its head that are difficult to distinguish with the naked eye - cutting those strings is just a psychological trick to make the audience mistakenly think that the puppet strings have been cut, but in fact...
"
As he spoke, Conan paused.
——The puppet actually picked up a rope and started jumping rope in front of everyone!
Suzuki Sonoko was amused and deliberately asked loudly: "Kid, what did you just say?"
Conan's eyes twitched slightly: "Then, the puppet silk thread may come from the palm part of the puppet's side..."
As if she heard what he said, suddenly, the puppet crossed its arms, swung the rope vigorously, and actually made a gorgeous X-shaped double jump.
Conan: "..."
...What the hell is going on with this damn puppet! Is it electric??
Seeing his expression, Suzuki Sonoko almost rolled on her seat with laughter - this naughty child relied on her knowledge and spoiled the show as soon as she saw the magic. She had been enduring it for a long time.
Now I finally encountered a magic trick that Conan couldn't figure out. Suzuki Sonoko was amused and urged: "Quick, keep guessing."
Conan's face turned red and he said, "...I don't understand, I'm just a primary school student."
Every time like this, he would feel strangely grateful to Gin - if he had the body shape of a high school student, this situation would really be impossible.
However, the primary school student's method sometimes doesn't work. Looking at Suzuki Sonoko who was asking questions from the side, Conan's eyes twitched slightly and he shamelessly resorted to a trick to divert trouble: "Uncle Hashimoto, what do you think?"
Maya Hashimoto was in a daze. When he heard this, he said numbly: "I don't understand, I'm just a medical enthusiast."
Conan: "..." This guy really has no baggage at all...
He turned to look at Jiang Xia again.
This time, before he could speak, Jiang Xia had already answered in advance: "I don't understand, I'm just a psychic. If you insist on asking me how to do this kind of thing, I can only let the soul get into the puppet and control it.
It moves."
Conan: "..." You can make it up better than me... But the psychic who controlled objects from the air just now is really handsome. No wonder Jiang Xia suddenly had an idea.
In any case, after all this messy interruption, Suzuki Sonoko finally let him go.
Conan breathed a sigh of relief and secretly thanked Jiang Xia, whose imagination was so rich that he led Suzuki Sonoko astray. Then he looked at the stage honestly and stopped expressing his opinions on cracking techniques.
Under the gaze of everyone, the free puppet hummed loudly and rode the bicycle again.
However, it was extremely joyful and tragic. It lost control of its balance and bumped into the table. The whole puppet suddenly fell apart and turned into several large pieces scattered on the ground.
——This made those viewers who speculated that "there is a real person hidden in the puppet's holster" silent for a while, and finally closed their mouths like Conan.
On the stage, the puppet that was broken into several pieces began to squirm anxiously: "Oops, we have to get it back to its original shape quickly."
While muttering, it struggled to put itself together, but the funny thing was that in panic, it put its two feet together on its hands.
Looking at the bewildered puppet, the audience laughed in good faith.
Amidst the laughter, the puppet fell apart again. It put its hands and feet back together, and then walked back to the place where it was originally.
"I'm so tired." The puppet sighed, standing in front of the wooden bench like an exhausted laborer, "Let me go back to being that ordinary puppet."
Almost at the same time, there was a buzz in the audience.
The familiar vibrating sound of mobile phones shocked several people who were addicted to magic and had almost forgotten about the case, as if they were waking up from a dream.
They suddenly turned to look at Jiang Xia. Looking at each other, Jiang Xia took out the black and white mobile phone that was constantly vibrating in his pocket and pressed answer.
A familiar tone flowed from the receiver: "How's it going? Are you satisfied with tonight's magic?"
"If I say I'm not satisfied..." Jiang Xia tapped her fingers happily on her knees, "Will you give me another performance?"
Officer Sato was startled at first, and then nodded secretly: As expected of Jiang Xia, he actually used the provoking method so smoothly - as long as the hell puppet master can't stand the provocation and goes on stage in person, they can rush forward and capture him in one fell swoop!
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard the "Hell Puppet Master" on the other side of the phone laugh softly: "Of course. The real show has just begun now - this is a grand magic show with one less show. Please be sure to watch it carefully.
"
After saying that, there was a beep and the other party hung up the phone.
"I'm so tired! I'm so tired!!" The puppet on the stage suddenly shouted. Then, under the surprised gaze of everyone, it fell back and fell down on the wooden bench.
The next moment, the surrounding light suddenly disappeared, and the entire venue fell into pitch black.
"Oops!" Officer Sato stood up quickly, "Does that guy want to take the opportunity to escape?!"
She took out her cell phone, wanted to turn on the flashlight, and chased her to the stage.
But before the flashlight could light up, a thick beam of light suddenly hit the stage.
Everyone instinctively followed the light and looked towards the stage.
After a short period of adaptation, a scene that made their pupils shrink suddenly appeared in front of them.
——The light in the magic venue dimmed and came on again, only for a few seconds. But in these few seconds, the puppet that fell on the chair suddenly transformed into a young man wearing a palace dress.
...The prince magician who was supposed to perform the finale of "Living Puppet" suddenly became the puppet himself.
The eyes of the living "puppet" are wide open, and the tall body is squeezed on a narrow wooden stool, with slender puppet strings tangled all over the body. The whole picture is strange and dark, but dotted with just the right touch of bright color - it is a flower that is growing
Roses blooming on the corpse's heart.
Against the background of the white dress, the rose buds were so bright that they actually turned into blood streams and rolled down in a few seconds.
"...Blood, it's blood!!" The audience was shocked into silence by this horrifying sight. It took several seconds to react, and the venue began to be filled with screams, "Dead people! Dead people!!"
…
Nearly a hundred meters away.
In the woods.
Gin was just thinking about how to approach the person in front of him quietly. At this moment, there was a sudden noise in the venue, and the screams even drowned out the deafening music of the magic show.
...There was no need to think anymore. Gin took out a gun equipped with a silencer and shot it, causing blood to spatter.
"Be more cautious in your next life." Gin looked at the guy who refused to fall, turned out from behind the tree, and sneered, "Are you looking for your companion who is ambushing nearby? - No need to waste your efforts, I will send you off now
