"Organ City News reported on July 20 that a robbery occurred in the Seventh Bank of Huangkong, with about 10 million yuan lost at the scene. The robbery was suspected to be done by the newly-established street entertainment group in the city - the Magic Group..." In the living room, today's evening news was playing on the TV.

"Sister Ruo, the rice is ready." In the simple kitchen arranged in a cool tone, Jiang Shu poured the ribs from the wok into the dish plate and turned her head and shouted.

I walked to the living room with the plates and arranged them. Dinner was a simple two dishes and one soup.

"Sister Ruo?" He called out again, but still without any response, so he walked up the stairs.

Sister Ruo’s bedroom was so unique that there was no garbage in the trash can, and the garbage was on the ground; there was no clothes in the wardrobe, and the clothes were piled on the bed, and it was hard to tell whether it was clean or dirty; there was no one or quilt on the bed, but it could be vaguely identified. The ball of things stuck in the lazy sofa in front of the desk was considered a mixture of Sister Ruo and the quilt.

"Didn't you just helped you with the room two days ago?" Jiang Shu sighed, as if she needed to clean the room every day.

Helplessly, he walked towards the mixture and reached out to pull the quilt open, but hesitated for a while and turned around and opened the curtains because he couldn't be sure what kind of state Sister Ruo was in under the quilt.

It was already dark, and he looked out the window and could see a big river lying between two worlds. The whirlpool on the river reflected the tall buildings and various dazzling lights on the other side.

On the other side of the river, there are tall buildings, neon lights and huge billboards, sound waves and lights create a frivolous and prosperous world. On the other side of the river, the low villa rich area has the tranquility that is rare in this city.

This is a cyberpunk world, and three months ago he appeared somewhere in the street corner of the city, not soul-walking.

He was lucky. Before he could endure hunger, he was picked up by Sister Ruo, Liu Tingruo, and she decided to take on the heavy responsibility of being raised by him after only one supper.

"Please bring in the meal." A moment later, Sister Ruo's very recognizable cold female voice came from the quilt. However, she might have just woken up, and the voice sounded sticky, with a little more laziness and pampering that she didn't usually have.

"Go to the table to eat." Jiang Shu refused and left the bedroom.

After a long time, after a dissatisfied mutter, a hand stretched out from the quilt and grabbed a few clothes from the bed casually.

"A mere nanny..."

Soon, a woman wearing a large men's T-shirt appeared at the entrance of the stairs on the second floor. She yawned, rubbed her eyes, and stepped downstairs with her big white legs.

Liu Tingruo narrowed his eyes and looked at the two dishes and one soup that was steaming, then put on his face and smelled it, "It's not bad."

"Why are you wearing my clothes?" Jiang Shu glanced at her, pretended to eat and handed it to her.

"My dirty." She took the bowl and glanced at Jiang Shu, saying in a tone of "I'm wrong, I dare to do it next time", "I'm too lazy to wash."

"..." Jiang Shu just looked at her.

"Let's do this, I'll treat you to dinner. So the equivalent exchange is for you. You can help me wash my clothes." She stretched out a spoon to the ribs and said lazily.

"...Okay." Jiang Shu had no choice but to respond, then folded his hands together and prayed before the meal with sincere faces, "Thank you, my virtuous sister Ruo, for giving me a delicious supper. I don't have to do anything except buying vegetables, washing vegetables, cutting vegetables, cooking vegetables, serving dishes, and washing dishes."

"You're welcome." Liu Tingruo took the time to respond while taking the time to dry rice.

"I'll go to Entertainment Zone C with me later. The customized cards will be ready." Jiang Shu looked at her.

"Oh, go by yourself." She replied casually, "or ask someone to send it."

"..." Jiang Shu stared at her helplessly, "I don't have a character card, so I can't go to Area C."

The role card, which is the ID card of this world, can go to the central area to collect it when you are eighteen years old, and determine the career he needs to contribute his life based on the citizen's innate and acquired conditions, that is, the role he will "play" in the lonely city.

Obviously, he wouldn't have such a thing.

Without a character card, half of the city's areas are not open to him. The most important thing is that without a character card, it means that you cannot work, and being unable to work means that you need to be kept by Sister Ruo forever.

Although this is not bad, Sister Ruo is a very powerful hacker and very rich.

"No." Liu Tingruo lowered his head, his face still calm, but seemed to look up at him, and a hint of cunning appeared in his eyes, "I will accompany you tomorrow to make garlic chicken wings."

"This is again, why don't you get tired of eating?" Jiang Shu sighed and responded, "I understand, I'll buy some chicken wings later."

After gnawing the last rib, she sucked her greasy fingers, wiped her hands and entered the bedroom.

After a while, Liu Tingruo, who was wearing casual clothes, walked out. She opened the door and remembered something. She waved to the two small balls one red and one blue placed on the wireless charging board and said: "Xiao Ba, Xiao Wu, come."

The red and blue ball lit up, then two round eyes and kitten ears grew, flying towards Liu Tingruo and following her footsteps.

——

Like all other districts, the Seventh District of the Lone City cannot change the situation of symbiosis between decline and prosperity, but it can at least separate the two at both ends of the seven districts.

Entertainment District C is the junction of the two, and it is mixed with fish and dragons, but here is also more interesting. The bold and avant-garde artistic atmosphere fills the streets and alleys in the form of graffiti, street sculptures and clothing.

In the small shop on the corner of the street, Jiang Shu took a deck of card samples handed over by the store manager, felt the size and smoothness of the cards, and smiled, "Thank you."

"Just pay." The owner did not look at him, but focused on fiddling with the leather clothes on the table, which seemed to be a custom wing suit.

Jiang Shu pulled Liu Tingruo's clothes, and then she realized that she went forward to swipe the card to pay. She looked at Jiang Shu who was in a happy mood and asked in confusion: "What are these cards used for?"

"It's boring." Jiang Shu responded, touching the cards in her pocket again, "Play it casually."

In his previous life, he was a magician, a profession that could not be bored, and a profession that would starve to death if he was bored.

There is no magic in this world.

The three months here were so boring. In addition to housework, he suspected that if he applied for a role card, the AI ​​would match him with a nanny or housekeeper.

"Bored?" Liu Tingruo frowned, "Is this fun?"

"It's quite interesting." Jiang Shu took a newly opened card from her exit bag, with the back facing up, and then opened the first one casually. It was a red heart three, "Come on, sign your name."

"Yes." Liu Tingruo took out the pen he carried with him and signed the card in his hand carefully.

"Now, this is a unique red heart three in the world." Jiang Shu turned the card back, with the back facing up, and then handed it to her, "biting it in her mouth."

"Um?"

"Bit in your mouth."

Liu Tingruo nodded, opened his red lips and bit the card. She looked at Jiang Shu who was lost and said vaguely: "What's wrong?"

"Not much." Jiang Shu calmed down his swaying mind. Sister Ruo's temptation reminded him of a famous scene in a Hong Kong film in his previous life.

"Now, turn on a card." He opened the first card of the card, which was a three-spades, and then signed his name, with the same card facing upwards, and continued, "I will bite this card too."

"Hmm?" Sister Ruo looked at him with her head tilted, but she didn't understand what he was going to do.

"Now, write your name on the palm of my hand with your fingers." Jiang Shu bit the card, but his words were clear.

"Yes." Liu Tingruo did as he did, and his fingers as slender as jade onions wrote his name on Jiang Shu's palms.

Liu, Ting, Ruo.

"Okay, let me do it." Jiang Shu also naturally held her hand and wrote her name on the palm of her hand. "Sometimes, writing does not require writing, it only requires writing..."

He turned on the card he was biting, which was marked by Liu Tingruo's signature. In her surprised eyes, Jiang Shu continued, "Transfer to where it should go."

"Eh?" Liu Tingruo blinked quickly, then opened the card she was holding. It was indeed Jiang Shu's signature. After a brief thought, she took a step back and pointed at him and said vigilantly: "You...can magic?"

"..." Jiang Shu stuffed her finger back into her fist and said helplessly, "This is just magic, you can understand it as a trick or trick."

"That's right." Liu Tingruoru nodded thoughtfully, "How did it do it?"

"Well...yes." After a little thought, Jiang Shu agreed.

"I just used a simple method, double flip." He took out the deck of cards, "Double    Lift, simply put, when I flipped the first card at the top, I actually flipped two cards, and the Red Three you saw was actually the second card."

"so what?"

"So after you sign the card, I will cover the card back, what I give to you is not the second card, the third card, the third card, the third card, the third card, that I signed in advance." Jiang Shu shrugged, "and then do a double flip and sign my name on the second card, the third card, the third card," she said.

"In other words, are there two three spades you signed?" Liu Tingruo knocked his hand and understood, "You just replaced the cards."

"Otherwise, if I could control my handwriting at will, I would definitely help students copy homework every day and make money every day." Jiang Shu smiled.

"No prospect." Liu Tingruo curled his lips. If he could perfectly copy the handwriting and forge the contract, wouldn't it be nice to check?

"But it's a bit interesting." Unlike many people who learned the truth about magic, Liu Tingruo did not become frustrated because of its simple nature, but instead became more interested. "So, what is magic?"

"A simple truth, a complex process, a little bit of performance skills." Jiang Shu narrowed her eyes, as if recalling something, "But I think more importantly, a complete magic trick, which tells a story with effects."

"Are the story?" Liu Tingruo repeated softly, then suddenly remembered something and asked, "Do you know the trick? It's the one that has appeared in the past two months."

"Strange art?"

"Yes, it's very similar to the magic you mentioned." Liu Tingruo's eyes were full of contemplation and explained, "It's a new team that specializes in street performance tricks and wears masks during performances, which is very mysterious."

"And, there was a robbery yesterday, and the suspect... was their member." She said slowly.

Two months, tricks, bank robbery...

"It's him, he just performed a trick!" At this time, a loud shout interrupted Jiang Shu's thoughts. When he turned around, he saw a group of people standing not far away, one of whom pointed at him.

Before he could recover, a strong man in a black police uniform of Lone City had already rushed to subdue him and then curled him with silver handcuffs.

"I am Wolf, the active second-level police inspector, police number TC12138. Now I suspect that you are related to the Huangkong Bank robbery, so let's go with me."
