Chapter 1825: Chapter 1822: Ultimate Magic
âWhatâs going on here?
Iâm too ordinary-looking, nothing special; if you donât want to choose me to go on stage, thatâs fine⊠but why show such a disgusting expression?â
Han Dong felt offended and even wanted to confront the magician.
Just then.
A deep voice reached the magicianâs earâ âSince someone actively wants to participate, let him go on stage. After all, itâs the rule set by our circus.â
The magician, awakened by the voice, looked at the young man again⊠The clown who had appeared in his vision had already faded and disappeared, leaving the young man there waving his hand.
Even so, he paused for a moment before allowing Han Dong on stage.
âMr. Magician seems to have quite a prejudice against me?â Han Dong deliberately stood beside the magician, speaking softly.
Unexpectedly, the magician didnât shy away, picking other audience assistants while conversing with Han Dong:
âWhat is your relationship with Pennywise?â
âIt seems youâre an old employee of the circus. Did you discover this during the âStartling Nightâ performance?â
âPlease answer my question, or I might let you try an incomplete ultimate magic.â
Han Dong didnât intend to hide anything and spoke frankly:
âSince you can see that there is a part of Pennywise mixed within me, I believe you can also see the difference between us⊠or to put it another way, I am superior to him.
He was merely a âbenefactorâ on my road forward, long drained of value and thoroughly killed.â
This statement shocked the magician, who had quite a dislike for the previous clown but also some fear⊠even having nightmares where the clown returned to the circus to kill everyone.
âPennywise, dead? How could that guy be dead?â
âThe specifics will be discussed later⊠Now is your critical performance period; if anything goes wrong, the leader might be unhappy.â
Han Dong smiled slightly, placing his hand gently on the magicianâs shoulder.
Fresh red lips whispered beside his ear:
âMr. Lebron, Iâm very interested in the ultimate magic you just mentioned; please allow me to tryâŠâ
This contact and statement made the magicianâs body tense.
It was reminiscent of scenes from years ago, except that beside him then was a disgusting clown.
âI will consider it.â
âAlright.â
From initially unwilling to participate, to now requesting the most thrilling magic⊠Itâs primarily because Han Dong saw through the magicianâs true nature and the personal benefits within.
This magic might enhance the compatibility of one or even two pieces of the âMythical Puzzleâ for Han Dong.
Yet another eighteen audience members went on stage,
Considering performances before, some people had already started to tremble.
The five who had âaccidentallyâ survived the previous round were in an extremely fragile mental state, feeling like they might collapse at any moment.
The magician once again released a black top hat resembling a living organism, using devouring to gather up all previously used props.
He took out some brand new execution⊠tools, such as an electric chair, body containment vessels (nine different glass containers), high-altitude walking planks, etc., and presented them in front of everyone.
However.
Han Dong wasnât assigned any props and stayed in the center with the magician.
As the magician pressed the button in his hand, various props began to operate⊠Thatâs when Han Dongâs specially tailored ultimate magic commenced.
The constant mechanical sounds and screams from participants formed a unique background music to enhance Han Dongâs upcoming magic performance.
Allowing fresh blood to splash on the magician, he began to announce the ultimate magic he was about to attempt to the audience.
âNext, the winner of the âStartling Nightâ, Mr. Han, will serve as my assistant, presenting a performance that transcends the limits of magic. I have named it âSplitâ.â
A contraption resembling a birdcage appeared at the center of the stage.
At its top, an electric loop structure was visible, with currents flowing on its surface, seemingly several levels stronger than the working electric chair.
Ka!
Han Dong stepped into the birdcage,
Voluntarily put on the metal shackles inside the cage, connecting his neck, arms, and ankles.
The magician stood behind the birdcage.
Wha!
He threw a black curtain to obscure the birdcage.
As soon as his voice fell, a âenergyâ from the circus gathered above the stage, transformed into a form of thundercloud.
Roar! Thunder echoed throughout the venue.
A thick bolt of lightning struck directly at the electric loop at the top, and billions of volts of high voltage instantly spread throughout the birdcage, then transmitted through the metal shackles to Han Dongâs body.
There was no concept of being burnt to a crisp.
Roar!
The sound of body exploding echoed.
Even with the curtain blocking, the audience could imagine the terrifying scene happening inside.
âNow is the moment to witness a miracleâŠâ
Wha!
When the magician unveiled the curtain again,
The sight inside the birdcage made the entire audience stand up; contrary to their imagined scene of shredded flesh, there stood eighteen relatively intact âHan Dongsâ inside the cage.
There was no tearing of bodies, just pure splitting.
With âtruth sealingâ in effect, how was it achieved? Though, some of the âHan Dongsâ had incorrect hand and feet positions, or reversed heads, it didnât affect the overall completeness of the magic.
Suddenly, thunderous applause erupted throughout the venue.
This state didnât last long, as some âHan Dongsâ began to show extreme symptoms such as vomiting, madness, and convulsions⊠Only one Han Dong, standing in the middle, remained rational and even revealed a quite satisfied smile.
Upon seeing this,
The magician obscured the birdcage again.
Thunder struck, curtain removed.
The Han Dongs inside the birdcage had re-coalesced into a single person.
However, blood continuously flowed from all seven orifices, and with a stretch, various bits of shredded tissues and bone fragments could be extracted from his mouth.
âYou⊠actually survived?â
Even the magician was somewhat incredulous⊠Typically, the performer wouldnât have survived several times over.
This magicâs success was largely influenced by Han Dong.
At this moment, Han Dong moved close to the magicianâs ear again.
âLiving proves the success of your performance, doesnât it?
It was an experience transcending the body, giving me a direct feel of âfatalâ and âdeathâ simultaneously.
Your technique may have flaws, but itâs already astonishing⊠Conducting ultra-fast suture under standard human physique, Iâve never seen it before.â
The essence of âSplitâ magic is still closely tied to the magicianâs surgery.
When thunder struck, Han Dong, connected with metal handcuffs, was instantaneously ripped apart into a meat slurry, this cannot be denied⊠but such tearing is a necessary step in the âsplittingâ process.
When the audienceâs attention was drawn to the previous thunder,
The magician hurriedly poured assorted shredded tissues collected before into the birdcage via the [Black Hat].
The amount of shredded meat matched exactly eighteen people.
From the arms grew numerous red flesh threads to perform âultra-fast sutureâ, using Han Dongâs shredded flesh as the basis, assisted by other shredded meat, suturing eighteen âHan Dongsâ in a short time.
The principle of [Unification] is similar.
After lightning tore all the split bodies, discarding the waste meat, only the main part of Han Dongâs flesh was used for suture.
Because the time was short, some errors inevitably occurred during suturing.
Though Han Dong appeared normal on the outside, internally he was already chaotic, which explained why the magician was curious about how Han Dong could stand and remain alive.
While their bodies were pressed together, the magician was also discretely rearranging Han Dongâs internal shredded tissues, suturing them into corresponding organs and tissue structures, realigning all blood vessels.
At this moment.
Han Dong continued whispering: âMr. Lebron, have you considered working for me in the future?â
