Chapter 325: The Most Extravagant Curtain Call in the History of Magic!

The moment Chu Chen stood on the roof, the Expert Group and a crowd of SWAT officers arrived right on schedule!

"Bang!"

On the rooftop, the heavy iron door was kicked open!

Following closely, a group of fully armed SWAT officers rushed in.

Facing the sudden arrival of the SWAT team, Chu Chen smiled, turned around, then spread his arms wide, closed his eyes, and fell backward!

Seeing this scene, the live stream chat exploded once again!

【Holy crap, what is this guy doing?】

【What!!】

【Nani?】

【My god! He just jumped off like that?】

The next second, just as everyone was typing in the chat, Chu Chen's entire body suddenly turned into countless banknotes, drifting down from the sky like snowflakes!

Whoosh!

At this moment, everyone's retinas received an identical frame at the exact same instant—when Chu Chen's body fell to about two meters below the rooftop level, there was no transition, no gradient, no "transforming" process; he jumped directly from a human shape into a parabolic fountain composed of countless banknotes!

One-hundred-denomination British pound notes!

Fifty-denomination Euro notes!

One-hundred-denomination US dollar notes!

Deep red, light purple, dark green!

Outside the glass curtain wall of a ninety-two-meter-tall building, starting from the position where a person had vanished, it expanded upward and downward simultaneously, like a flower made of human desire that completed the entire process from blooming to withering in an instant!

Every banknote was in mid-air, flipping, drifting, and refracting the faint light of the city; the anti-counterfeiting metal thread of every banknote traced a brief and bright line under the moonlight, and countless fine lines intertwined to form a huge, constantly expanding, shimmering net in the sky!

Seeing this scene, everyone on the rooftop froze in that instant.

Their visual systems were saying, "A person jumped off the roof!"

Yet the logical system was saying, "A person cannot turn into a pile of banknotes"?

The calculation results of the two systems clashed four times within a second, and each clash created a miniature logical explosion in the same person's brain; these four explosions superimposed to form about one second of complete cognitive stagnation!

Those banknotes were not blown away by the strong Wind, were not swept into the high sky, and did not fall along with anything else!

They just drifted down quietly, slowly, and almost with a sense of ritual, from the ninety-two-meter height onto the streets, squares, car roofs, tree tops, and the shoulders of countless jubilant passersby around the Bloomsbury Building!

"My god, did he actually turn into banknotes?"

"This is the most creative curtain call I have ever seen!"

"So cool!"

"How was this done?"

"Does he really know magic?!"

"Mommy, so much money!"

On the rooftop, the members of the Expert Group looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

They never dreamed that Chu Chen would use such a method to end his performance!

A living person just turned into a pile of money like that?

"Hoo!"

Wesley sighed and muttered, "Incredible guy..."

At this time, the street below had already turned into a chaotic mess!

Countless banknotes drifted in all directions starting from the middle of the building, like a massive bank vault being detonated in the air!

The entire rain of money lasted for about five minutes before it stopped!

This money was all real currency, and it was all brand-new notes!

After walking out of the building, Liu Xuemin immediately picked up a brand-new 10-dollar bill from the ground and examined it carefully.

"Teacher Liu, what do you think?" Zhuang Yan asked from behind.

Liu Xuemin did not know what to say.

His expression was very grave.

Seeing this, Wesley said to his assistant David, "These banknotes are all new; go check immediately if any banks nearby have been robbed."

"Yes, boss."

After he left, Wesley continued to say to the group, "Everyone, I think there must be a problem here. A person cannot disappear into thin air no matter what; we have to change our perspective to think about these issues."

Just as these words finished, the live stream perspective began to rise continuously until it could overlook the entire city, at which point it turned into a black screen!

Meanwhile, at the live broadcast site of "The Art of Crime"!

"No, no, wait—everyone wait—"

When Liu Qian's voice came out, it carried a tremor the audience had never heard before.

At this moment, this Chinese magician, who was always smiling, always suave, and always able to debunk a Spring Festival Gala-level magic trick in three sentences in the live stream, stood up directly from the sofa!

His eyes were fixed on the live broadcast screen, his pupils dilated to the limit!

Currently, the "Simulated Crime" live stream was entering commercials.

The number of online viewers for "The Art of Crime" live stream was soaring at a rate of hundreds of thousands per minute!

"Teacher Liu, are you okay?" The voice of the host Ma Fanshu came from the screen next to him.

The two were very close; she could see that Liu Qian's state was not right!

This man, who had seen the world's top magic, had dined at the same table as Daina Mo, and had been called "the most underrated magic mind in the East" by David Copperfield, had an expression like a child seeing magic for the first time.

That expression was not surprise, but shock.

"I... I'm fine."

After a long while, Liu Qian waved his hand: "I'm just a little excited..."

He rubbed his face with both hands, as if trying to rub some overly intense emotion off his skin.

Then, he took a deep breath again and showed a particularly stylized smile toward the camera: "Host, just now, you asked me why he had to use such a method to end this magic show."

"Yes."

"Well, it's like this, he is actually performing a curtain call magic. This is a curtain call. This is the highest courtesy a magician can give to the audience. Just like the curtain call of a stage play, large-scale magic shows usually have a curtain call performance."

"So that's how it is."

"Then, regarding his curtain call magic, what are your thoughts?"

Liu Qian smiled, then said: "I can only say, this is definitely the most extravagant curtain call in the history of magic, bar none."

The host and the audience were all amused by his words.

Very quickly, a large wave of bullet comments began to swarm in from the right side of the screen!

【Haha, indeed!】

【It's not just extravagant, it's quite extravagant!】

【How much money must this have cost?!】

【If only I were at the scene!】

【At this moment, my desire to pick up money has reached its peak!】

【Haha, me too!】
