Chapter 269: Subconscious Control, Swap Completed!

The choice of this "pawn" is the most crucial part of the entire magic trick!

Without "him," all subsequent performances would be completely out of the question!

Only by selecting a suitable "pawn" can the performance effect be guaranteed to the greatest extent, thereby achieving the goal of passing off the fake as genuine!

According to the description in the Magic Encyclopedia, the identity of this "pawn" must meet the following requirements to be qualified.

First, he must be a loyal depositor of the target bank.

Second, he must travel to Las Vegas at the specified time to become an audience member of his magic show.

Finally, his credit card signature must be clear and absolutely irreplaceable!

Only by meeting the above three points can "he" cooperate with him to complete this wild theft plan.

Otherwise, the subsequent series of operations would be impossible to carry out.

Based on this point, the choice of the pawn can definitely be counted as the most difficult point in the entire magic preparation work, and it even directly concerns the success or failure of the entire magic trick!

In order to ensure that no problems occur in this link, Chu Chen directly set his sights on the French National Bank!

The reason is very simple.

This bank is the largest joint-venture bank in all of Paris.

Whether it is scale or credit strength, it ranks among the best globally.

In addition to individual depositors, many multinational companies that have business dealings with local French enterprises are also their clients.

In Europe, apart from the Swiss Bank, the international business dealings here are the most frequent.

Right now, it is only ten o'clock in the morning, but depositors waiting to handle business in the lobby can be seen everywhere.

Sitting on the bench by the window, Chu Chen idly flipped through the Paris newspaper in his hand while staring like a torch at the passing crowd, waiting for the target to appear.

Because the goal was clear and there was preparation beforehand, it took less than an hour in total for Chu Chen to find a very suitable target candidate.

That guy is a resident financial executive in France for a certain multinational trading company!

An American, thirty-three years old this year, named Kevin.

Because his company has business dealings with the French National Bank, he himself is also a senior depositor here.

Today, his purpose for coming here is to negotiate the company's latest quarterly credit line with the bank.

After this matter is handled properly, he will take tonight's flight back to Nevada in the United States to vacation with his family.

Just now, Chu Chen deliberately bumped into him head-on.

The above information is what he obtained after a brief contact with this guy.

"Excuse me, sir."

After apologizing, Chu Chen picked up the document bag he had deliberately knocked off the ground just now and handed it to him.

"It's okay."

After taking the document bag, Kevin left the bank lobby in a hurry.

Watching his departing back, Chu Chen raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing an imperceptible smile.

Subsequently, he also followed that guy out of the bank and trailed him all the way to his residence in Paris.

That is a high-end apartment located in the city center.

The people living here are basically high-level wage earners in the surrounding CBD, and Kevin is one of them.

After confirming his address, Chu Chen did not act immediately.

Instead, he constantly encountered him by chance, intentionally or unintentionally instilling in him the idea of going to Las Vegas during his vacation, completely controlling his subconscious.

Subconscious Control is a type of Indirect Hypnosis.

It has an essential difference from conventional Direct Hypnosis.

Direct Hypnosis completely controls the consciousness of the hypnotized person, weakening his ability to acquire external information to the greatest extent.

By comparison, Indirect Hypnosis is different.

Indirect Hypnosis focuses more on guidance and does more work on the subconscious, allowing the hypnotized person to be controlled by oneself without any awareness, and to absolutely obey the will of the practitioner to carry out a series of autonomous behavioral activities!

Over the next few days, Chu Chen changed his appearance almost every day and had some normal social contact with him.

As time went on, the seed of going to Las Vegas to watch a performance had already taken root completely in his subconscious.

After settling this matter, Chu Chen obtained his autograph on his credit card bill and used god-level Forgery to successfully replicate his signature onto a Heart Ace!

Next, as long as he finds a way to book a ticket for this Saturday night's Las Vegas performance show online, and then puts this ticket and that signed playing card together into the vault of the French National Bank, it will be a complete success.

But before that, he still needs to swap a batch of special counterfeit bills with the real bills in the bank vault, and then use Flash Paper to burn the counterfeit bills clean.

Only in this way can the vault be disguised as the appearance of having been robbed.

Flash Paper is a very useful magic prop.

Due to its special composition, it only burns when it comes into contact with specific paper in a specific environment.

At that time, as long as the ticket and the playing card are coated with Fireproof Material, they can be kept intact during the burning of the counterfeit bills, successfully replicating a wonderful scene from a movie!

Having made up his mind, Chu Chen did not delay time and immediately began the action according to the established plan.

He first successfully snuck into a cash-in-transit vehicle, and then with the help of the system, completed the swap of real and fake bills.

Because the action was sufficiently covert, the entire process of the swap was very smooth, and no one discovered it at all.

The inventory day for the French National Bank's vault is every Monday.

Due to confidentiality regulations and vault management systems, on non-inventory days, there is a 100% chance that no one will open the vault door.

Based on this point, no one will discover at all that the original 1.5 billion Euros have long since vanished into thin air.

Only a ticket for this Saturday's Las Vegas performance show and a signed Heart Ace remain, lying there quietly!
