Chapter 670 Rules on the Road

Amidst the scattered petals, Thales looked at Shi Lai, who was skilled in the street, with a stiff expression.

etc.

Wyya and... Wyana?

What is this?

How could someone have such a fake name!

"Master of magic?"

"Wiya and Wyana? Why haven't I heard of it?"

"It can't be those who cheated money last time, that method is so bad, I was caught on the spot and ganged up!"

"Are these two hairs not growing together? Oh, maybe it's a gang of thieves on the street, diverting attention..."

"Mommy, there's magic! I want to see I want to see!"

There were more and more passers-by, some who happened to pass by and glanced at them casually, and some who took their family on a special trip. Men and women, old and young, were all there. They stretched out their hands to pick up the petals, and they talked a lot about Xilai and Thales. .

"Hey, what magic is it, it's all fake, it's either an item mechanism or a technique or an ability..."

"Either a caring nursery!"

"Okay okay, I like watching magic and tearing them apart!"

"That's not good, magic is to be appreciated, not to make you play smart..."

"What kind of magic is there if you don't dismantle the stage..."

"Hey, magician, don't stand still, change it!"

"I want to see escape magic! The kind of beheading with a rope!"

During the Emerald Festival, various performances and celebrations can be seen on the streets of the city every day, not to mention in the Iris District, where theater groups gather, this kind of scene is quite normal for the citizens, but after a while, this street corner is naturally blocked. The stage was surrounded, and some audience members even began to urge Shi Lai and Thales.

"That's great," Thales rubbed his hair to make it a little messier, so that he wouldn't be recognized (although this possibility is rare), "What now, Master Magician?"

Xilee didn't speak, just turned his head and glanced at him.

The girl turned around, raised her left hand with a smile, and then quickly retracted it, magically pulling out a whole red flower from the pinched hat.

There was a commotion from the onlookers, some people let out a small exclamation, and some people let out a dissatisfied boo (“I can do this too!”).

But Xi Lai was not affected at all, her smile did not diminish, she first waved her right hand, then crossed her hands, and the little red flower instantly disappeared from her left hand.

The exclamations of the audience grew louder, and the boos gradually diminished (“One more!”).

"They want magic," the eldest lady of Kevin Deere's family smiled like a flower, Thales' broken hat kept flying between her wrists and arms, red flowers, blue flowers, yellow flowers, purple flowers, several different colors The flower branches appear and disappear from her hands one after another, which is amazing, "Then I will give them to them."

Well - with more and more cheers and applause, Thales raised his eyebrows helplessly.

From the angle behind Sheila, he could clearly see how the eldest lady became "magic": different flower branches were clipped on her elbows, under her armpits, behind her palms and even behind her neck and skirts, cleverly hidden from the audience by the audience. In the invisible blind spot, she magically appears or disappears in her hands through the cover of the hat, and every time it can arouse the audience's exclamations.

It is worth mentioning that Sheila's techniques are skillful and flexible, her movements are natural and smooth, and her diversion of attention and sudden exaggeration are even more perfect ("No wonder it's so beneficial to pretend to be a ghost to scare people." - secretly unhappy Thales), accompanied by a flash of flower branches back and forth, was enough to dazzle the audience.

Um……

The harsh Thales squinted his eyes—this way of performing magic seems to be not much different from the old thousand players playing cards in the black gold casino in the capital and the "three hands" on the streets of Xiacheng.

But he did not forget the goal of their trip: in the shaving shop across the street, Slimani and the shaving guy were talking in low voices, while paying attention to the growing crowd of spectators. The former was ignorant and the latter was puzzled, obviously They all began to shake their suspicions.

Well, it's a dirty idea, but at least it works.

Thales pouted.

Sheila - to be exact, "Wyana the Magician" repeated three times in different poses, and finally threw five different colored flower branches into the hands of the audience. She smiled and buckled her hat. Bowing, ushered in a lot of colorful voices and applause.

In the excitement, Thales did not forget to pay attention to the situation across the street:

I saw Slimani sitting back on the shaved chair again, as if relieved, and the guy behind him scratched his head embarrassingly, gradually dispelling doubts.

"This trick is too old!"

"Change the pattern!"

"Yes!"

"Big change to living people?"

"It's okay to saw a living person!"

"Can you eat fire and breathe fire? I saw that in Humble last year!"

There were more and more voices in the crowd, and the requirements were getting higher and higher, but the experienced "Master Wyana" was not afraid, and immediately performed other magic:

She took out a few thin metal rings, handed them to the audience in the first row to circulate, and then took them back, playing the trick of removing the rings with extremely fast techniques.

Thales on the side of ?? unknowingly became a supporting role. He held up the hem of his clothes and kept bowing to the audience for the reward, thinking sourly:

Che, there are a few rings with tiny gaps mixed in the intact ring, who wouldn't - it seems that a long time ago, there were also craftsmen from other places on the streets of Hongfang Street who performed this trick, until the news spread to the Blood Bottle Gang. There, the clown Cox and his "circus nest" who were rushed to hear the news smashed it clean.

But this time, the group of people in the hair salon will no longer doubt it?

The next moment, Shi Lai, who felt that the audience was tired of seeing it, changed her technique. She saw that several rings were put on her forearm, and the girl happily raised her hands, stepped on the dance steps and turned in circles, humming the well-known South Bank leader. Minor "Flowers Under the Sea".

In the cheers and choruses of the audience, every time she danced a circle, one of the rings on her arms fell off and just slipped into the other ring, until the ring wrapped around the ring and formed a long ring. The chain, swung round and round by Sheila.

Well - harsh magic judge, Thales raised his eyebrows: The performance combined with the dance is not bad.

Halfway through the minor key, the long chain loses one ring each time it makes a turn, until the rings separate again and fit neatly back onto Shiley's arm.

After Shi Lai danced the last lap, she shook her arms, grabbed the rings again in her hands, and bowed again.

There was a burst of cheers and applause from the crowd again.

"The trick is quite old, but the dance is not bad, come on, let's go!"

Thales' nerves tightened, and he subconsciously stretched out his hand to catch a copper coin thrown from the crowd.

Wait, what is this?

In the next second, quite a few copper coins—even a few store coupons, and even an apple—flyed toward Thales from the audience, and many others held the coins in their hands and waved to him. .

Thales, the descendant of the magic family, "Wyah" hurriedly continued to reward money, and in a short while, he gathered a full hand, and even leaked a lot on the ground, so he had to pull out the hem of the clothes to cover it, and put it out. With a grateful smile on his face, he gathered around the audience to collect money to match Master Wyana's performance.

"No, there are so many rings, how did you put them on? It must be fake, right! What props did you use? Can you sell me some?" Someone in the crowd couldn't help but wonder.

"Sorry," Miss Shirai Magician Wyana laughed even more when she saw so many people in attendance, "The secret of magic, don't delve into it, don't reveal it, don't spread it, and don't let it go. Appreciate it!"

After saying that, Hillary once again made a flower out of her hat, which caused a burst of cheers from the crowd.

"Girl, another one!"

"Sister, choose me! I want to do magic too!"

"When are you sawing a living person? For example, sawing your brother?"

The audience's reaction made Xi Lai more and more excited, and her performance became more and more enjoyable. I saw that she had changed several street magic tricks, from looping to guessing, from petals to whole flowers to pulling out a black cloth and making it out of thin air (Tail. Scee gave her) apples... She even invited an auntie from the audience to tie her wrists to hers, and let the seemingly dead knot of the rope magically change back and forth between the two's wrists, thread the rope and untie it Knot (although the auntie was suspected of being a pre-arranged childcare after the end of the game, and she was so angry that she yelled at the crowd on the spot).

Thales, who was in charge of collecting rewards and bowing, had a little heavier hem of his clothes. He had to use a few copper coins to find a hawker in exchange for a bag and put the coins into it.

No, are the citizens of Emerald City so supportive? Is rewarding money so easy?

When he was on the streets, why weren't the citizens of the capital so generous?

Thales watched Slimani who was sitting back in the chair waiting in the shaving parlour, and Silay who was happily raising his hands amid the cheers, he couldn't help falling into contemplation.

It can be seen that this girl is not only good at her skills, but also has a talent for acting. She knows how to guide the attention of the audience and gradually control their emotions in order to achieve the best performance.

If, if she wasn't Kevin Deere, if she wasn't born in the Duke's House, if she wasn't Jenn's sister...

She would be a great street performer.

Just then, a man pushed through the crowd and came to the front row, interrupting Shiley's magic show.

"You, girl, how did you become magic?"

The man was wearing a work apron, his body smelled of hair oil, and he narrowed his eyes: "I'll give you money, will you tell me the secret? I want to do this magic too."

Oops.

Thales saw the man's appearance clearly, and his heart skipped a beat!

He was, he was the guy in the shaving shop, the one who took Srimani a silver coin.

is a member of the Blood Bottle Gang!

Thales glanced out of the corner of his eye, and Slimani was still sitting in the shop opposite, with a shaved scarf hanging from his body, and he didn't look here.

But he must be paying attention here!

Was he suspicious and came to test the two of them?

Sheila apparently recognized the dude too, but she reacted extremely quickly, with a formulaic smile:

"Sorry, this gentleman: The secret of magic, one should not go into depth, the other should not be revealed, and the third should not be rumored—"

"Tell me, where did you practice the technique?" The shaved man raised his volume and interrupted her impatiently.

His vicious look made a few spectators around him who were dissatisfied with him couldn't help but take a few steps back.

Xilai frowned.

"This gentleman!"

Thales saw that the situation was not good, and came up to him with a look of flattery:

"It's like this, as the audience of magic trick performances, we should have this quality: to appreciate it with confidence, to enjoy the magical performance with all our heart..."

The boy flipped his palm, skillfully grabbed a handful of coins from his pocket, and put it into the man's hand quietly.

The shaved guy looked at Thales' movements, and his eyebrows moved.

He subconsciously put away the money and glanced in the direction of the shop.

But just a few seconds later, the guy figured out what to do, and his face turned cold again:

"Tell me, which way are you on?"

Thales smiled stiffly:

"I am sorry?"

Amid the cheers from the crowd, the shaved guy sneered.

"Stop pretending, I can see from your tactics that you are also in the street business," the man said, "Why, do you think the police force here is insufficient on your parade day, and you want to make a fortune?"

That line on the street?

Thales smiled and said, "I misunderstood, I'm not—"

"Master of magic? Bah! I've seen a lot of people like you," the shaved guy said. "Say, how many things have you stolen along the way? Where are you hiding? Is she performing, you touch the sheep? There are people in the crowd. your gang?"

Thales and Hillary's expressions changed.

The sudden accident caused the crowd to whisper and murmur, but everyone looked at Thales and Shi Lai differently.

"What, they're thieves?"

"It turned out to be a thief!"

"Do thieves do magic too?"

"Don't be stunned, let's see if you lost your wallet!"

"Grass! My purse is gone, they really are— oh, the pocket here, I misremembered."

"They don't look like thieves, do they?"

"Hey, no relatives and no reason, how can you help them talk! Aren't you their gang?"

"Huh? I'm not, I'm not... well, uh, looking at it this way, they are indeed a bit suspicious..."

"That's right! Back to rational thinking!"

"But we have no evidence..."

"Flies don't bite seamless eggs. If they didn't do anything wrong, could this guy find them?"

Amid the growing noise, Shi Lai raised her face, put away her props and stepped forward:

"We are not thieves, we are dignified magicians. We came to the city on the Queen's Day to see the Emerald Festival and prepare to make a living."

Perhaps the magic show just now was very successful, and there were many voices of grievances from the crowd when Xi Lai spoke.

"Yes! Stay away from them!"

"What about the Emerald Festival, what are you fighting for!"

"Stop making trouble!"

"Enough, Ragno, other people are just doing tricks to show off, how can they be so domineering!"

But Ragno—the shaved man ignored it, he snorted.

"Ask for a living? Hey, let me tell you, you broke the rules!"

Guy Ragno's fingers almost poked Thales' face:

"Who is your boss? Sangare, the dog-raiser? Or from Beimenqiao? A stranger from outside? Haier? Don't you know this is a prohibited stealing area? Have you ever said hello to the boss, or if you have been involved, just Dare to come here to make a living? The Emerald City has rules!"

As soon as they heard the words "Boss", "Sangare" and "North Gate Bridge", the voices of support for Hillary in the crowd suddenly became smaller, and many people seemed to know something and left in twos and threes.

Laguenor even sneered when he saw this, and pointed to the shop behind him:

"Also, you are blocking our business."

In the ?? shaving shop, the target of their trip, Slimani sat on a chair and seemed to be observing this side through the reflection of the mirror.

Thales and Hillary looked at each other.

Damn.

does not appear to be tempted out of suspicion.

but purely this **** "rule of the road".

Thales smiled and rubbed his hands together:

"My dear, Mr. Ragno? First of all, we are really not thieves, and secondly, if you don't like our performance here, let's go! Or, we can also compensate for the loss in your shop... "

"Not a thief? That's fine."

Ragueno sneered, he suddenly reached out and grabbed Shiley's wrist!

Xilai's complexion changed:

"let me go!"

Thales was equally surprised, he stood up in front of Shi Lai and held down Ragno's arm:

"Let go!"

But Ragnor was obviously trained, and he tightly clasped Shi Lai's wrist:

"Come on, I'll give you a hand, and you'll try another trick? Magician? Or, come with me to see the vigilante?"

Sheila screamed, she grabbed her glove and pulled her hand back desperately.

"Fuck! Let it go!" Thales gritted his teeth against the man, trying to pull the hands of Xilai and Ragno.

"Ah, it's your gloves, right?"

The conflict broke out and the crowd was in chaos. Ragnor grabbed Xilai's hand and laughed proudly: "It must be your glove, there is a mechanism in it? Say, how much 'magic' have you changed by this? How much money did you deceive, How much did you steal?"

The crowd echoed:

"That's right! What kind of gloves does the flower girl wear, like a noble lady, what are you pretending to be? Are you so delicate?"

The sharp-eyed Thales recognized that it was another guy in the shaving shop.

"There must be a mechanism in the gloves!"

"There may be stolen money!"

"It must be a thief!"

"I know it! They stole me last week!"

Originally, there were passers-by in the crowd who were not used to this scene and were indignant for Xi Lai, but under the successive chorus of shaved guys, even the most righteous people had to hesitate: Are they really? Thief?

"Come here, pull to see the vigilante!"

"They can't escape this time!"

A few "enthusiastic people" responded, and coincidentally emerged from the surrounding crowd, rolled up their sleeves, and wanted to help Ragnor drag people together. One of them even grabbed Thales' hand and turned him back. drag!

In the chaos, Hillary accidentally fell to the ground and screamed.

Oops - Thales reacted and opened up his long-held memories: finding faults, slandering, gangs, robbery, scattering... This was the usual method of human trafficking gangs a long time ago when they kidnapped women and children on the streets.

In the abandoned house, many beggars came like this.

For example, Coria, the youngest girl in their sixth room, remembers that she has parents, a nurse, and toys, and that she was snatched away by several people during a celebration.

She even remembered that day when she heard "the nurse was chasing behind, crying while chasing".

until the cry became farther and farther away.

In this life and in this life, I can no longer hear it.

"enough!"

Thales returned to reality and roared:

"Go away!"

The crime of Hell River instantly burned, and the memory of the Northern Army's swordsmanship came back to his mind.

boom!

Thales first elbowed back, knocking the guy behind him to the ground with a groan.

In the next second, he pinned Ragno's feet forward again, and with a sudden increase in strength, knocked Ragno two meters away.

Thales turned his head and pointed his finger at the third guy. The latter was about to throw a fist, but when he saw Thales' angry eyes, he couldn't help but startled and stopped his rushing steps.

"enough guys!"

Thales stopped the rest of the shaved guys.

"If Boss Balta knows what you're doing here," Thales gritted his teeth and glanced coldly at Ragno, who was rubbing his chest on the ground, "trust me, he'll melt you--if he's there That hasn't been melted down by Boss Fogg, and Fogg hasn't been melted down by someone more terrifying than him."

Ragueno's complexion changed when he heard the words: "You, how do you..."

Thales snorted coldly, turned around and grabbed Sheila's arm, helping her up from the ground.

But at that second, someone seemed to find something and shouted first.

"Did you see that?"

"Yes……"

"Oh my God……"

Thales looked up suspiciously, and found that everyone was looking behind him, and the people around were in an uproar!

Oops, is your identity exposed?

Ragno was helped up by a guy, but he was stunned by what he saw.

Following everyone's gaze, Thales slowly lowered his head, and was immediately stunned.

"What the **** is that?"

"So disgusting..."

"This thing really exists..."

Xile saw everyone's reaction and suddenly realized something.

She lowered her head in horror, only to discover that her left glove had been ripped off.

Where everyone's eyes converged, Shi Lai's left hand, from the forearm to the entire palm, was covered with red and black burn scars, pits and bumps.

Ugly.

But not the most shocking.

"what!"

A girl who was closer saw clearly and exclaimed, and her mother quickly covered her eyes.

is Shi Lai's left palm.

On top of that... on the outside of the ugly little finger with red skin, a finger suddenly grew.

It was slender and crooked, and at the moment it was attached to the little finger awkwardly and irregularly, hanging out of the palm, twitching and twitching.

The crowd was in an uproar.

"What the **** is that..."

"That hand, with six fingers, or seven?"

"There seem to be a dozen or so, crooked, but disgusting!"

"I saw it when I was a kid! Lobster hands!"

"No! The lobster hand has fewer fingers, this one has a lot more fingers, it's... um, the spider hand!"

"It's so pitiful, she's a girl born with disabilities..."

"Must be cursed by a witch..."

"No wonder it can do magic!"

Even in the distance, Srimani in the hair salon turned his head from his chair and looked here curiously.

Six, six fingers?

At that moment, Thales figured out a lot of things.
