Chapter 15 Magic Show(1/2)
After Mia picked up the skirt for her son, she still didn't buy it for herself, but instead picked two pieces of clothes for Xu Mo.
Although Mia paid secretly, she did not hide it from Xu Mo. He and Yaoer spent a total of 145 federal coins on two clothes. Even for Mia, it was a very large expense. Xu Mo could feel that Mia felt a little distressed when she paid, but she still did not hesitate, but she was reluctant to buy it herself.
After buying the clothes, the group continued to rush.
In the carriage, Elsa looked disgusted when she saw Mia happy all the way.
"Elsa, is that the City-State Theatre? Have you ever been there?" Mia pointed to a building in the distance.
"I've been there." Elsa said angrily. Without her previous enthusiasm, she was very angry. During the trip to Narcissus Street, Mia bought nothing for herself, but spent a lot of money on the servants.
But this is Mia's private matter, and she can't say anything, but her thinking cannot understand Mia's behavior.
"I heard that a ticket costs dozens of federal coins. If you have the chance, you must go and see it." Mia said with some desire. Elsa became even more depressed when she heard her words, and said unhappily: "You have already spent several tickets just now."
"That's different." Mia said with a smile. Although she felt a little distressed, she was still happy.
Xu Mo thought that if Mia was born in his previous life, she would have been a foolish and dedicated love brain and would easily suffer losses.
In fact, like Elsa, he did not agree with Mia's behavior, but in this barbaric underground world, this kind of "kindness" is extremely precious.
"Miss Mia, where is that?" Xu Mo looked in the distance, there was a huge circular building, which needed to go up very high steps, and even though it was far apart, you could still see its grand outline.
“It is the main center of the main city, the arena,” Mia responded: “But I don’t like it.”
"I don't like it either, but it is the most popular place in the main city." Elsa also looked over there and said.
"A arena." Xu Mo whispered, is it similar to a football match in the previous life?
The carriage passed by a square and entered another street. The street was slightly narrower, but there were endless vehicles and pedestrians.
"There are so many people there." Mia looked at a place next to the street ahead, surrounded a group of people and almost blocked the road. It was probably inconvenient for the carriage to go over.
"Cooper, slow down." Elsa said to the coachman, and she stood up and looked into the crowd.
"Look at Mia, it's a magician's performance." Elsa said in surprise.
"Really?" Mia stood up with her youngest girl in her arms, curious about magical magic at this age.
"Xu Mo, it's really a magic show, you can see it too." Mia lowered her head and said to Xu Mo.
Xu Mo was not very interested. He knew that magic was just a trick. Those extremely mysterious magic performances that you saw will make you feel that your IQ was insulted when the answer was revealed.
However, Xu Mo still stood up and looked at the crowd. He saw a small performance venue surrounded by the crowd, which extended from the shops next to the street. At this time, a magician was performing fire, which attracted cheers.
"Brother, how could he spit fire?" Xiaoer shouted excitedly.
Xu Mo saw that the other party took a sip of water before spitting fire and sprayed it into the air. It should be a liquid similar to alcohol. As for the flame... Xu Mo felt it carefully, and a strange color appeared on his face.
"energy!"
He keenly sensed a faint energy, which he often felt when he practiced breathing. However, the energy seemed very weak, but it was enough to produce flames. In addition, the liquid similar to alcohol, fire-breathing magic appeared.
"How did it do it?" Mia said in surprise.
The carriage came to the periphery of the crowd. The magician's assistant brought a large box and placed it on the ground. A girl lay in and locked the box.
Xu Mo looked at the magician. He was wearing a mask and didn't speak. He was always performing with body movements. Even his assistants were wearing masks.
After a while, when I opened the box again, it was empty inside, and the crowd suddenly burst into warm applause.
The magician raised his finger and pointed it up. The crowd looked up and saw the girl who had just waved to everyone on it.
"So amazing." Elsa exclaimed, and Mia and Xiaoer also applauded happily.
Xu Mo saw through the face of the other party. The same mask, clothing, and even figure were similar, but the same face was not the same.
Not alone!
He knew that this kind of magic was transferred through the secret passage of the mechanism, but the other party directly used a substitute, which was considered an incomplete magic. However, even so, there must be a secret passage of the mechanism under the box, which made the girl entering the box fall down, but Xu Mo's eyes could not penetrate the secret passage of the mechanism.
A magician's assistant faced the crowd and said, "Mr. Magician wants to invite several children to experience the magic performance in person. Is there any child who is willing to experience the magical magic?"
There were many parents in the crowd who had children, and some were eager to try.
"Mom, I want to go." A little girl said.
"I'm going too." Someone started one after another, and then several children were sent to the steps.
"Is there anyone else? We can divide it into several groups." The magician assistant continued. He glanced at the crowd, saw the youngest son in Mia's hand, and smiled and bowed: "Beautiful lady, is this little princess willing to experience it?"
"Ah..." Mia was stunned for a moment, hesitated, and the youngest wanted to go, but Xu Mo's expression was extremely serious at this moment.
"No." Xu Mo said straightforwardly. At this moment, he felt a little chilling, and the smile on his face looked a little ferocious, with knives hidden on his body. In addition, the magic performance used a substitute in the previous magic show. Obviously, if you fall into the secret passage of the mechanism, it is impossible to come out from above, otherwise there would be no need to use a substitute.
Therefore, the secret passage will lead to other places, which means that when people enter, they may not be able to come back!
Mia was stunned when she heard Xu Mo's serious words, then shook her head and refused and said, "No, thank you."
The other party put his hand in front of his chest and saluted, his eyes glanced at Xu Mo. His eyes were very cold under the mask. Then he ignored this and carried the children participating in the box.
Xu Mo stared at the other side, his eyes changed, his perception was released to the strongest extent, and he was extremely serious. These people may be criminal gangs, using magic performances to attract people to take the initiative to get into the trap.
"Xu Mo, what's wrong with you?" Mia asked Xu Mo.
"Miss Mia, I noticed just now that the woman entering the box and the woman who appeared on it had different nail lengths." Xu Mo said, "That's a substitute."
Mia was a little surprised: "What about her?"
"There should be hidden under the box and under the floor, and the person fell down." Xu Mo continued.
"Then what is their purpose for letting the children participate?" Mia asked in confusion.
Xu Mo turned around and looked at Mia and said, "I have heard of kidnapping children with magic shows before. These people are wearing masks, and no one knows who they are."
"Ah..." Mia exclaimed, with an anxious look on her face: "What should I do?"
Their conversation was overwhelmed by the noise around them and no one else heard it.
"What are you talking nonsense? This is the main urban area of the Underground World, and there are law enforcement teams patrolling everywhere. The public security is very good. Do you think it is on the black market?" Elsa scolded. Obviously, she thought that Xu Mo would speculate so randomly after going to the black market.
Xu Mo glanced at Elsa with a blank expression on his face. Seeing his eyes, Elsa was a little angry, and looked at the stage and said, "The performance has begun, you can wait and see clearly."
Xu Mo also stared at the magician and ignored Elsa. He had experienced realistic magicalism many times, let alone this underground world.
The box prepared for the magic show was very big, and several children got into the box excitedly at the same time. They smiled very happily when they entered, as if they were looking forward to what would happen.
Xu Mo looked at the smiling faces. They didn't know what they were going to face, and now he couldn't do anything. Elsa wouldn't believe him, and naturally other strangers wouldn't.
The moment the box was closed, Xu Mo's heart also beat.
The magician began an exaggerated performance. At this moment, the box opened and a dark grid appeared on the ground. Xu Mo heard the child's low scream, but there was no sound in just a moment.
"There are people below that started from the underground." Xu Mo stared at the magician. When the box was opened, it was empty and everyone disappeared.
The crowd looked up at the top, but there was no one.
"Next, we will appear with the children. Please witness the magic together." After the magician assistant said, he opened the box and prepared to go in with the magician. The crowd around him cheered enthusiastically, and even Elsa seemed a little excited, as if she was looking forward to the next miracle.
Xu Mo's expression changed, he wanted to evacuate.
"There's no time!"
Xu Mo saw that the box had been opened, and he shouted: "A group of liars, the women entering the box were different from the nails upstairs. They were not alone at all."
Xu Mo's voice was loud, and many people around him looked at him. Even Mia and Elsa looked at Xu Mo in front of him. What was he going to do?
"You're wrong." The magician assistant glanced at Xu Mo, then ignored it, and continued to walk into the box, and the people around him were indifferent.
"I guess there is an organ under the box. Be careful that they are going to traffic in the children." Xu Mo continued to say this, and the people around him whispered. The children's parents could no longer sit still and rushed up. Someone said, "We won't participate, the child will give it to me."
The crowd began to get a little turbulent, and the faces of the magician and his group of people looked extremely ugly under the masks. It was difficult for them to leave because they were exposed.
"You don't have to listen to this kid's nonsense. After the magic show, they will naturally appear on it." The magician assistant said, controlling his emotions.
"No, I want to see my kids now."
"Yes, magician, please let them show up."
How could they not be in a hurry if they were concerned about the safety of their children? Even if Xu Mo was talking nonsense, they would still see the results.
"Please go down first, everyone." The magician's assistant stepped forward and pushed someone.
"What are you doing?"
"Is it true that he is saying? Magician, hand over the person quickly." There was also a voice below, saying that everyone hated the trafficking of children.
"Yes, please hand me over." The crowd was already in chaos and was moving in an uncontrollable direction.
Seeing people crowded, the magician waved his palm and "boom". A wave of heat came, and the flames forced the person back. One of them even burned his hair and hurriedly put out with his hands.
"Catch them." Someone shouted, and the child's parents rushed forward frantically.
"Be careful." Xu Mo shouted, and saw a short knife appearing in his hand when he was talking before, which directly pierced a person's abdomen. Screams came out, and everyone was scared away instantly.
"I've killed someone, please notify the law enforcement team." Chaos were heard everywhere.
Mia and Elsa were also frightened. Mia sat in the carriage with her youngest head in her arms. The people around her were running in panic, scaring the horse to restlessness.
Xu Mo stared at the other side, released his mental power, staring at the front. When the magician was caught, he sprayed a fire and forced him back, but the child's parents still rushed forward.
The magician sprinkled liquid again and the flames ignited, but at this time the flames rushed towards him uncontrollably, and the fire became even more powerful.
A terrifying wave of flame swallowed him away. He screamed and made a painful howling sound. His companions looked at him and fled back without saving him. The fire became bigger and bigger, wrapping the magician's body, causing him to roll all over the ground, which was very miserable.
To be continued...
