Chapter 262: Holy Crap, It Really Disappeared!?

After a large wave of barrage comments, Chu Chen's figure appeared in the livestream room once again.

Looking at the questioning gazes of countless people, he continued to speak eloquently: "Under the watchful eyes of everyone, making a solid building disappear is indeed very difficult to achieve."

"But that is the charm of magic: breaking conventions and creating incredible illusions. A plain, ordinary playing card can instantly turn into a dove in a magician's hands..."

As he spoke, Chu Chen grabbed at the air very casually.

The next second, a playing card appeared out of thin air in his hand, but as he gave his hand a light flick, the card actually turned into a dove and flew into the air.

The card-to-dove magic trick is not a very profound piece of magic, but the people in this world had never seen it before.

Seeing this scene, countless live audience members and viewers in the livestream room exploded again:

【Holy crap, how did he do that!?】

【Too ignorant to know, where did this dove come from?】

【You're amazing, brother!】

【Too cool!】

【I really didn't expect that not only is Chu Chen good at extreme sports, but he's actually a magician too?】

"So, everyone, a magician's job is to turn all kinds of impossibilities into possibilities!"

Throughout the entire time he was speaking, Chu Chen had been communicating with the system in his mind, having it cooperate with him to complete this high-difficulty magic trick!

The building-disappearing magic trick, even on Earth, is considered top-tier magic.

It not only requires superb sleight of hand, but sufficient funding is also key.

Because similar magic tricks all require the use of special props.

Back in the day, the magic trick that made David Copperfield famous—the disappearing Statue of Liberty—cost millions of dollars for just a few short minutes!

This magic trick has not been revealed even to this day.

Some say he used a sleight of hand, and others say he moved the stage.

But regardless of which theory, both lack sufficient supporting evidence.

Since then, other magicians have tried to replicate this magic trick, but all ended in failure!

At first, Chu Chen didn't know how this magic was performed either, but after watching the decryption videos and live demonstrations in the Magic Encyclopedia, he understood the principle behind it all at once.

The core of this magic is actually the movement of vision, creating an illusion for people that the building has disappeared.

It only takes one very simple special prop to pull it off.

Through communication with the system, before the performance officially began, Chu Chen had already taken the opportunity while talking to the audience to complete all the preparatory work.

Everything is ready, except for the Wind!

Right now, all Chu Chen has to do is use some patter to attract the audience's attention.

When he said those words, almost everyone cast their gaze toward that building!

But in reality, the true magic was quietly unfolding elsewhere!

Seeing that the preparations were just about done, Chu Chen continued: "Alright, everyone, do you remember what I just said?"

"... In front of a qualified magician, never think that you are close to the truth; the more you think so, the easier it is to be deceived..."

"Because when you are too focused on one thing, you will miss some important details; this is the fundamental reason why a magician can successfully trick you!"

"Alright, everyone, the moment to witness a miracle is now!"

After saying this, Chu Chen smiled slightly and then snapped his fingers.

The next second, a huge black curtain suddenly dropped from the top floor of the building, covering the entire structure tightly!

Seeing this scene, the crowd began to whisper to one another.

In the livestream room, there were also many different opinions:

【Holy crap, where did this cloth come from?】

【What's the situation?】

【Brothers, I have a very bad premonition!】

【I still don't really believe he can complete this magic trick!】

【Good heavens, where did this cloth come from?】

【Regardless of whether he succeeds or not, this cloth alone is worth a wave of 666s from us!】

【Whatever, let's just arrange a wave of 666s first!】

Inside the livestream room, everyone was discussing it, one person saying this and another saying that.

Due to the sudden dimming of the light, some office workers inside the building were also caught off guard by this sudden scene!

Seeing this, they put down their work one after another and paced to the floor-to-ceiling windows, wanting to see what was going on!

Even inside the studio, it was the same!

Out of curiosity, Zhang Yiwen immediately took off her headset, walked to the window, opened it with a clatter, and poked her head out to look up!

Through observation, one could clearly see that the huge curtain was indeed dropped from the rooftop terrace!

Reaching out to touch it, the texture was almost no different from ordinary fabric!

The only difference was that it was a bit slippery, as if some special chemical fuel had been applied to it.

At the same time.

Downstairs.

The pursuit team on the opposite side also had their attention drawn by this scene, and they all looked toward the building covered by the black cloth.

"The target has begun to act. All units, stay alert. Without my order, no one is to act rashly..."

The one speaking was Zhou Yun.

At this moment, he had already arranged his own people all over the plaza.

Right now, they had not yet received the instruction that Chu Chen had started his crime, so they could not act rashly for the time being.

We can only find a way to contain it first.

"Rest assured, Team Captain, our people are at every entrance and exit of the entire plaza now," Team Leader Zhang Hao reported in a low voice to Zhou Yun while standing at the outermost perimeter of the plaza.

After the two finished speaking, the live broadcast feed returned to Chu Chen.

Looking at the expectant gazes of the countless onlookers, Chu Chen continued:

"Everything is just as you all see; I have covered this building with a piece of black cloth."

"But this cloth is not ordinary cloth; it is a Magic Carpet possessing magical power. Anything covered by it will disappear just like that..."

"I know this might sound a bit unbelievable, but my magic trick has already succeeded..."

The moment his voice fell, the black cloth covering the building slowly rose!

And as it rose, the Huashi Building that had been standing right before their eyes actually disappeared!

The street that had originally been blocked by the building successfully broke into the line of sight of countless people.

Trees, flowers and plants, vehicles, pedestrians.

Everything was clearly visible.

The most outrageous thing was that the pedestrians on the street opposite also seemed to have noticed this building that had vanished into thin air!

Seeing this scene, they stopped in their tracks one after another, all taking out their phones and frantically pressing the shutter button toward the direction of the building!

At the same time, the live broadcast chat room had already exploded!

All kinds of bullet comments popped up all at once, and the scene was particularly spectacular:

【Holy crap, it really disappeared?】

【It's divine, holy crap, it's simply divine!】

【Big brother, you're playing for real!】

【I'm kneeling!】

【It really disappeared, holy crap!】

【Everyone stand up...】

【Truly heaven-defying!】

【Please accept my knees!】
