Chapter 74 What Is a Calculator? (Please Save This! Please Read It!)
As more and more people came to Dean's side, the movement became louder and louder.
Students from other places were also attracted to the magic. After inquiring curiously, they discovered that it was Dean Thaston, one of the most popular figures on campus, who was performing magic.
That’s okay!
Regardless of the students who are in the same school as Dean, the magic tricks performed by Dean are not what they want to see.
After all, Dean's reputation is very popular among young people, and there are countless people who want to see his unique skills, which will exhaust Dean to death sooner or later.
And in the past two years, Dean has tried his best to keep a low profile so that he can gradually fade out of people's sight.
Dean would only show off his skills when the school held large events, like today.
Most students originally thought that Dean would perform formally on the big stage in the center of the playground, but they didn't expect that he would directly perform street magic outside the field...?
What else is there to say? Hurry and run over there. If you go late, you will definitely not be able to squeeze into the front row and miss the best audience seats. Wouldn’t that be a loss of blood?
Even many students who were dancing on the field and watching the performance on the side of the stage decisively left their place and ran to watch Dean's magic show.
Most of them are girls.
As a result, most of the audience under the stage suddenly disappeared, leaving Ai Kun, who was performing, singing and dancing on the stage, confused.
"Cause I got a crush on you who you..."
Listening to the accompaniment playing on the stereo, Ai Kun inexplicably lost interest in singing.
On Dean's side, the number of spectators suddenly increased dozens or hundreds of times, and they formed three circles on the left and three on the right with Dean as the center.
Lucy and the other four girls had never experienced the feeling of being surrounded by so many people, and there was a faint expression of nervousness and excitement on their faces.
Dean's expression remained unaffected as usual.
But for some reason, Dick, who was still next to them, is now invisible.
I don’t know if he left on his own initiative or if he was swallowed up by the crowd.
There are still pigeons flying out of the top hat Lucy is holding in her hand, but the distance between the two pigeons flying out has obviously become longer, and it seems that there will be no more pigeons flying out after a while.
One after another pigeons flew to Dean's hand, seemingly endlessly, until Dean's arms and shoulders were covered with pigeons.
"How can this be!"
Lucy looked at the doves on Dean's arms in disbelief, and then at the top hat she held in her hands. She didn't see even a single dove feather in it.
How on earth can so many pigeons be accommodated in such a small amount of space?
No, she had clearly checked in advance that there was nothing inside the hat, and Dean had not even touched the hat since Lucy took it.
Although it sounded like a fantasy, she really felt that the pigeons were conjured out of thin air.
"Is this really magic?"
There were infinite ripples in Lucy's eyes, and her heart was beating fast.
There was absolutely no one present who was more shocked than her, because the top hat with dozens of pigeons flying out of thin air was held in her hand, and she witnessed everything that had just happened at the closest distance.
Especially when she knew very well that she was not a trustee.
Lucy could think of no explanation for Dean's trick other than magic.
"Incredible, right?"
Dean opened his outstretched hands and smiled at Lucy.
"The reason why you think everything you see is unbelievable is because you are looking too close."
As he spoke, Dean swung down his open hands. The pigeons on his arms were instantly frightened and flew around, unknowingly covering Dean's figure.
After the pigeons flew away, Dean was nowhere to be seen.
Lucy turned her head left and right in surprise, trying to find Dean's whereabouts again.
"The closer you look, the less you see."
At this moment, Dean's voice sounded from behind Lucy.
Looking back, it turned out that Dean ran behind her at some point.
"Thank you very much for your cooperation, Miss Lucy. Are you satisfied with my performance just now?"
Dean bent down slightly and saluted. At the same time, he raised Lucy's right hand and kissed the back of it gently, then retracted his hand and straightened up.
"Oh, by the way, Miss Lucy, I haven't returned the things I borrowed from you just now."
Dean suddenly seemed to remember something, stretched out his hand, snapped his fingers, and then picked Lucy's ear.
A bright red rose immediately appeared in Dean's hand.
"Ah! This rose is still there!"
Lucy covered her mouth with her hands, her eyes full of surprise. The magic just now was so amazing that she had no time to pay attention to it.
If Dean hadn't said anything, she might have simply forgotten about the rose.
After returning the rose to Lucy, Dean turned back to the center and looked around at the countless classmates gathered around him.
"Dear students, you only saw the last part of the magic show just now. This is really unfair to you."
"But I also know that you all gathered here just to watch the magic show, so I decided to perform the magic that I planned to perform on the big stage here for everyone to see!"
Dean shouted a little louder so that the people behind him could hear him.
Hearing Dean say this, bursts of cheers suddenly broke out around him.
"Great! Dean, you are the second best magician in the world! Although I'm a little sorry, the best one is Kaitou Kidd!"
"Don't praise me so highly. There are many, many better magicians in the world than me. I also hope that you can see more and more powerful magicians perform."
Dean waved his hand and said calmly.
"Now, let's focus on the next magic trick and don't blink..."
——
Meanwhile, East End.
This is the area with the largest number of gangs and the most chaos in Gotham. It is said that everyone who lives here has blood on their hands.
Kidnapping, extortion, disappearance, robbery... As long as you come to the East District, no matter which street you enter from, you will definitely see at least one kind of crime at first sight.
However, when O'Kilwe stepped into the East District alone, no one dared to approach him, and even took the initiative to look away when they saw him.
Everyone knows that Okierwei is Penguin's most valued subordinate at present. Anyone who dares to touch him will be a slap in Penguin's face.
O'Kilwe walked into an alley with an expressionless face. At the end was a small house of only about ten square meters.
The door of the house was locked tightly, but there was no keyhole or combination lock. There was no way to open the door from the outside.
There wasn't even a doorbell.
Fortunately, O'Kilwe seemed to have expected this, and calmly knocked on the door and asked.
"Is anyone here? I'm looking for a calculator."
(Ahem, I just had a little chat in the book club group, which delayed the update a little bit. It’s better if it’s not stuck. Yuzi deserves death)
