"David, answer my question, what were you and Balthazar doing in Chinatown? Who was the mysterious man who clashed with Balthazar at the Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic? What is the relationship between the two of you and the mysterious incident of the dragon dance?"
Facing three consecutive questions, David looked flustered and tried hard to control his expression, knowing that the more flustered he appeared at this time, the more it would appear that there was something wrong with him.
But I know that he is just an ordinary school student, and he is still a nerd. His eyes are crooked when talking to beautiful girls, let alone when he is questioned by the police.
"Police, police officer, Balthazar and I... were actually at the Chinese Medicine Clinic..."
"explain!"
David was sweating profusely, and suddenly he had an idea: "That's it, I'm not in good health, so Balthazar took me to Chinatown to find a doctor."
"You're not feeling well, are you sure?"
"certainly!"
David hummed and showed off a few bodybuilding poses, then made a hot dog pose, stuck out his tongue and gasped.
Russell's expression was strange: "According to my research, the doctor at that traditional Chinese medicine clinic specializes in infertility, and is especially good at treating male kidney deficiency."
"Well……"
"Are you vain?"
"Yes, yes, I am a veteran of Huazong. Each of my girlfriends is prettier than the last. After dealing with them, I feel weak." David forced a smile and tried his best to put money on his face in order to clear his suspicions.
"Wake up, you don't have a girlfriend."
Russell shook his head repeatedly: "If I read correctly, you should be a virgin and have never even held a girl's hand."
"Fbeep, you know all this?"
David blurted out, realized that he had said the wrong thing, and raised his hands skillfully: "Officer, to be honest, they are the ones who caused me to go to the hospital for treatment."
"David!"
A clear female voice came, and David felt as if he was struck by lightning. He turned stiffly and looked at the beautiful female classmate who suddenly appeared, and said with a hint of tears: "Betty, why are you here?"
Betty and David went to the same elementary school, but later changed schools and left. The two reunited at the City University of New York and were barely childhood sweethearts.
She was the object of David's secret love. When she was eight years old, the two almost succeeded in holding hands and became an enviable young couple.
"You invited me here."
Betty gave Russell a confused look: "David, did I come at the wrong time?"
"No, it's just a little trouble. The police officer asked me to collect evidence, and it was over soon."
David breathed a sigh of relief and said to himself that it was a lucky break. Fortunately, Betty didn't hear what he said before, otherwise he wouldn't be single.
Betty was concerned: "Evidence collection? David, are you in trouble?"
"Is such that."
Russell looked at the beautiful blond girl and said truthfully: "A case happened in Brooklyn's Chinatown last night. It happened that classmate David's body was hollowed out due to years of manual massage. He was seeking medical treatment at a nearby hospital and witnessed everything. I came to see him.
Ask about the situation at that time.”
Betty:(乛_乛)~~~
David:(?﹏?)
"Betty! Betty, please listen to my explanation. It's not like this. I didn't..."
David stretched out his hand to explain, but his outstretched hand was quickly avoided by Betty. The latter took a few steps back and looked at David's hand warily.
"Well, I suddenly remembered that I have something to do. Please go ahead and call me another day."
Betty was so embarrassed that she trotted away. When she got to the door, she made a cheering gesture to David: "David, I wish you a speedy recovery."
David:_(┐?;?д?)ノ
"Don't go!"
David reached out and grabbed the air, but found nothing but despair.
He looked at Russell with a look of sorrow and anger: "Officer, how can you talk nonsense in front of Betty? How can I face her in the future?"
"Classmate David, I didn't say anything nonsense."
Russell shrugged and said innocently: "It's all what you said. I'm just repeating it exactly as it is, without adding any exaggeration."
"..."
"Also, the situation is not too bad. Looking on the bright side, you are basically eliminated in this situation, so you don't have to worry about how to face her."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Hearing Russell's comfort, the corners of David's eyes were moist and he couldn't help but burst into tears.
Russell patted David on the shoulder and said kindly: "Okay, don't think too much. Rather than finding a girlfriend, the most important thing you should do is to take good care of your body. Otherwise, if you catch a girlfriend, you will just stare at him."
"Whaaaaaaaaaaah!!"
David made a self-defeating sound and raised his hand to wipe away the tears on his face: "Officer, you win. I shouldn't lie. The case in Chinatown is indeed related to me."
"Just admit it and tell the truth."
"Officer, before I tell you the truth, I want to ask you a question first."
David had a serious face and said deeply: "Do you believe there are magicians in the world?"
"letter!"
"I know you don't believe it...wait a minute, you actually believe it?"
David's eyes widened, Russell's answer was unexpected, and he didn't know how to answer it.
"Believe it, why don't you believe it? Not only do I believe in the existence of magicians, I am also a magician myself, and a very powerful one."
Russell adjusted his coat and recalled the past: "A long time ago, people called me the Supreme Mage. I will omit the countless battles that kill enemies instantly. Because it was too boring, I resigned and became a policeman."
"Officer, stop making fun of me, I know you don't believe it."
David did not take it seriously and continued: "I am a magician apprentice, and Balthazar is my mentor. Ten years ago, I accidentally released the evil mage sealed in the Horcrux by Balthazar, which caused him to be re-sealed.
During the process, he and the other party were locked in a magic tool."
"I was still a child at the time. I didn't know the importance of the Horcrux, nor did I know that there were other evil magicians sealed inside. I threw away the Horcrux in panic, causing it to live in Chinatown."
David spoke quickly, selling off his teammates like crazy, and told Russell a lot of information.
"Some time ago, Balthazar and the evil mage escaped from the magic prop. He found me and took me to Chinatown to recover the Horcrux. There, he fought the evil mage who was also looking for the Horcrux, which caused a commotion later."
After David finished speaking, he looked at Russell with a sincere face: "Officer, I am a good person and I saved many innocent lives last night."
"Classmate David, I don't know if you are a good person, but you are an out-and-out swindler. I am very sure of this."
Russell touched his chin and commented: "Your mentor has a good temper. If I had been imprisoned for ten years and escaped from the magic tool, I would definitely beat you to death on the spot."
"Officer, so... do you believe it?"
"Believe it. I believed it when I saw this magic circle."
Russell stamped his feet and stepped on the magic array diagram on the ground: "After all, I am also the Supreme Mage. It is easy to sense the remaining magic power on the magic array."
"Well, you still don't believe it."
David covered his face, and suddenly he had an idea, and he started rubbing his paws with his hands: "Officer, although I am just an apprentice, Balthazar has taught me one or two magic tricks. I will show you how to use them to prove that I am not lying.
.”
“We’ll see!”
"Be prepared, don't be too surprised."
David took a deep breath, closed his eyes and concentrated his energy between his hands. Due to excessive exertion, his face turned red and his neck was thick, and his whole body was trembling.
About half a minute later, he shouted loudly, opened his eyes suddenly, and pushed forward with his hands in the posture of Turtle Style Qigong.
The action is cool, but there is nothing.
"Pfft!!"
Russell couldn't hold it back and laughed out loud. Facing David's shameful and angry glare, he put away his smile and became serious.
"It doesn't matter. I know you are an apprentice. Let's do it again."
"Huh, I'll surprise you later." David refused to accept it and said harsh words to save face.
"To be honest, I'm already surprised."
Russell's eyes locked on the ring on the index finger of David's right hand. It was silver-white and had the shape of a Western dragon entrenching it. It was a magic prop.
A layman watches the excitement, an expert watches the door.
Although David failed to release the magic, Russell felt the extraordinary power of the ring. When David concentrated his mental power, the ring resonated with him, changing the real world little by little.
The reason why he was unsuccessful was because David's mind was too messy, or he lacked exercise.
"David, what's that ring on your finger?"
"This is a tool for magic..."
David started talking, and after Russell listened, his interest was greatly reduced.
The abilities of magicians in this world are a bit tricky and very limited. If you want to cast magic, you must use props, such as rings, staffs, etc.
The magician's ring and cane are not decorations. They can convert the electrical energy in the human nervous system into the material world and project thoughts into reality, thus helping the magician release magic.
In other words, without the ring, the mage loses his ability.
…
ten minutes later.
Russell was sitting on a chair with his head down and playing with his cell phone. In front of him was David, who was rubbing his hands to pieces. This guy had been looking ferocious for a long time, but he hadn't cast any magic. His farts were louder than him.
"David, isn't your magic ready yet?"
"Come on, wait a minute, I'm going to make a big one."
David's face is as thick as a jujube, and his beauty is as good as shit. He feels almost ashamed.
"By the way, what magic are you planning to cast?"
"Ion cannon!"
David looked proud: "My mentor Balthazar said that this magic trick has been passed down for thousands of years. Jane... is difficult to master, but I have already started."
"What the hell?"
Russell put down his phone in astonishment and took out his ears: "What is the name of the magic you cast? Say it again, I didn't catch it clearly."
"Ion cannon!"
David explained: "You should know, just like in science fiction movies, lasers are used to heat heavy hydrogen to a high temperature of millions of degrees, turning it into a plasma state, and then the charged particles are emitted, and that's it."
"I know about plasma, but David...didn't you have any doubts when your mentor taught you this magic?"
"What are you wondering about?"
"Who named this magic trick? It has been passed down for thousands of years. Did the magicians at that time know about plasma?"
"right!"
Hearing Russell's complaint, David was dumbfounded. After a moment, he gave a reasonable explanation: "Perhaps in the future, humans will invent a time machine, and then go back thousands of years to create magic. After all, science and magic are basically the same. They both deal with matter.
A use of energy.”
"David, what are you doing?"
The iron door was pushed open again, and Balthazar with flowing blond hair walked in. He was shocked when he saw Russell, and quickly stepped forward to protect David behind him.
"God bless, Balthazar, you are finally back."
David breathed a sigh of relief: "This police officer found out what happened last night. If I hadn't delayed it until now, he would have been arrested and taken back to the police station. You should modify his memory quickly, otherwise we will..."
