The casino of the Bellagio Hotel is as big as the airport, with hundreds of slot machines and all kinds of gambling machines. Every night, it is a paradise for gamblers and an abyss of hell for people to sink into.
Locke is a typical Las Vegas gambler. After his wife divorced him, he wandered in this sea of crime. After selling his real estate in the downtown area, he moved into a "mansion" on Las Vegas Avenue.
He doesn't think there is anything bad about his life, gambling has brought him unique happiness, and he is willing to sink like this forever.
In fact, his neighbors thought so too.
Tonight he was sunk in the casino like in the past, the slot machine has eaten up a lot of dollars from him, he must let this thing spit out the money today!
Just as he was biting his lower lip and his cheeks were flushed, his old neighbor, Mani, who also lived in the Las Vegas Boulevard sewer, patted him, "Hey brother, a film crew came in at the door, look. "
Locke didn't stop, his eyes squinted at the door, "Oh brother, please, don't you see that I'm busy?"
He wasn't interested, but his neighbors were very interested in the filming crew that came in, staring at the group of people walking into the casino with great interest.
"Oh Locke, I swear you will regret it if you don't look at it, that man is so handsome, the one who walked in the front."
After collecting the coins, Mani left the slot machine and rushed towards the crowd. In fact, many tourists who liked to watch the excitement also passed by.
After all, not all gamblers come here to gamble, there are also tourists who come here to have fun. After all, how can you come to Las Vegas without going to the casino to play a few games
Asa stood in the casino, raised his chin and looked around, but couldn't find Heman and Lyle, and of course Gal who was taken away by them.
At three o'clock, he waited in the parking lot for a long time but didn't see those two people. Asa gritted his teeth and knew he couldn't hand Cal to those two people.
Lyle, who was hiding behind the pillar at the end of the casino, looked towards the gate, then turned to Seaman beside him and said, "Oh, His Highness hasn't come back yet, cousin, look at your expression, it's so dark!"
Ximan frowned and did not speak. His Highness Satan Ye is not a person who is not punctual. If he does not show up at the appointed time, then he is caught up in something. "Just explain it in the evening, um, just say you Must see the night view of Las Vegas."
Lyle turned around with a pale face, "Oh no, why do you want me to take the blame for His Highness?"
"Could it be me? If I'm going to see the night view of Las Vegas, what do you think..." Seaman glanced at Lyle with a smile, "Will Asa believe it? Funny."
"..." Lyle thought for a while expressionlessly, and continued to peek ahead from behind the pillar. The magic was already being prepared, and some tourists in the casino also gathered around Asa, "Oh no, originally I was tonight A participant in magic."
Seaman glanced at Lyle, then slowed down his speech and said, "I heard His Highness said that you were arrested in your original work unit. Although His Highness erased the memories of those people, those people should be the ones who went to round you up. It was assigned by your superiors, and your colleagues in the bar also have pictures of you, I think... ”
Lyle was startled, and turned his head stiffly, "You mean..."
Seaman glanced at him and nodded to confirm, "As your cousin, I can only advise you to avoid TV. If people in the church see you, you will hurt many people."
"However, Lord Asa was also seen by his colleagues at that time..." Lyle obviously did not give up, "and His Highness Samuel."
"Hehe." Seaman approached Lyle and asked softly, "Is it the underage Asa and the 'missing' Samuel?"
"..."
Two cameramen have already opened the front cover and are debugging the screen. Allen stands in front of the person in charge of the casino to check the precautions and shooting time.
Asa frowned and stood in the crowd. He always felt that something was missing when Asa was not around. Even though he knew that Heman would take good care of him, he still felt something was wrong...
Allen came over after talking to the person in charge, "The last episode was just a trial broadcast. If you use that episode to open up the market, this episode will add your inner monologue, prepare sideshows to increase the authenticity of the magic, and add some The poster of your program has also come out, I suggest you go back and take a good look
Episode one. "
Allen's voice sounded very determined, "I can assure you, you definitely don't even think about going to see it."
"Okay, I'll watch it." Asa nodded, "When will the recording start? To be honest, I really don't like this place very much. The smell of cigarettes is really heavy."
Allen sniffed unconsciously and frowned, "The casinos in Las Vegas are all non-smoking, I think you need to be patient for a while."
Asa loosened his brows and did not speak again. After a while, Allen leaned into his ear and asked softly, "But can you reveal how you want to play? In fact, every time I watch you perform magic, I am frightened. I'll be mentally prepared."
"Huh? Terrified? I thought you could accept everything calmly with this expression." Asa glanced at the other party and said with a light smile.
Allen looked back silently, and clapped his hands after a long while, "The recorder and photographers are preparing, where are the props?" Allen's expression froze, and he turned to Asa and asked, "What props do you need this time?"
"Chips." Asa raised his chin, and pointed to a light green chip in a gambler's hand with his chin, which was the lowest-grade chip, "The gamblers are still in front of the machine, I think I need to use some Something special attracts them, don't you, Mr. Allen."
The man who was hit by Asa's chin seemed very excited. Even though he only had one chip in his hand, he trotted up and handed the chip to Asa, "Oh sir, it's really lucky that this chip was chosen by you."
Asa took the chips from the opponent's hand, bowed to the opponent, "I will return it to your husband." After finishing speaking, he folded his hands together and held the chips in his palms, "Maybe I will return you two." Spread out, two identical chips lay flat on his heart.
The conversation in the crowd froze, obviously did not expect that the performance had already started, and some people didn't even realize what happened.
The cameraman at close range took a close-up of Asa's palm, and the cameraman in charge of the distant view focused the camera on the gambler's expression, "My God, this..." The man's face was full of disbelief, his It was very loud and attracted some people's attention, "Oh did you see that? He just turned the chips I gave him into two!"
Asa looked at the other person's expression, raised his chin and smiled, and then put his right hand on top of his left, "Maybe four?" His left hand spread out to one side, and the four hairs were neatly stacked on his slender finger bones.
"..." The man who gave Asa the chips straightened his eyes, staring blankly at the green chips in the opponent's hand, "Did you see that? Locke!" He yelled loudly at the end, as if he was calling some companion, " Locke, come here!"
Locke, who was still in front of the slot machine, froze for a moment, packed up the coins he just got and ran over—
The conversation in the crowd has completely disappeared. Everyone looked at the magician in the middle of the stage in disbelief. The other party was only wearing a thin T-shirt, and the sleeves were too short to stop any small movements. What did he do? arrived
"Maybe you want more chips?" Asa smiled, broke each chip into four pieces with one hand, and closed his hand again, "Is this enough? Sir."
With the palm down, the chips fell from his palm one by one, one, two, three, and the crowd around them counted the number of coins, four, five, six... After sixteen, all The gamblers who were still gambling had already gathered around.
Some of the onlookers whistled and some kept applauding, apparently satisfied with Asa's performance just now.
"Is that enough? Sir." Asa smiled, pointing to the person in charge of the casino standing aside, "If there are more, this gentleman will probably throw me out."
The bearded man shook his hand, "Sir, of course not, but can I check the source of these chips?"
"Of course." With the same expression on Asa's face, he took half a step back, "But it won't be until I run out of these chips."
Asa stood straight in the middle of the crowd, with his slender legs together, like a well-mannered gentleman.
With one hand slightly bent, with the palm facing down, the sixteen chips randomly scattered on the ground slowly floated up—
"My God, how did he do it?!" A woman's voice came from the crowd first, "The farthest chip is nearly three meters away from him!"
No one responded to his words, and the audience all focused on watching the performance in front of them. Those chips were like puppets being lifted by strings, slowly floating up and then paused in mid-air.
Asa smiled, and walked leisurely over to pick up the chips, but no one noticed that there was a thin golden glow in Asa's pupils that spread slightly—
Lyle, who was hiding behind a pillar in the distance, gritted his teeth, "Oh my dark god, you can still play like this? Why didn't I know!"
Seaman glanced at it, and said calmly, "His ability is the restoration technique, which restores each chip at random. I don't think it's strange to be able to conjure these."
Lyle was startled, nodded thoughtfully, and muttered in a low voice, "Then can I ask an adult to change money for me..."
"In theory, you can tear up the money first, and then let him put the pieces back together, but..."
Lyle was a little excited and asked, "But? But what?!"
"He won't do it for you." Seaman's tone was very firm, "If he would, he would have done it a long time ago."
"..."
Asa weighed the chips in his hand, and glanced at the wall clock on the pillar in the distance, "Would someone help me check the wall clock over there?"
The audience was stunned, apparently still not recovering from the shock of the floating chips just now, "I am willing!" The man who gave Asa the chip just now seemed very positive.
Asa pointed to the two-meter-high wall clock over there, "Sir, I need you to help me confirm whether the glass on the wall clock is intact. This is an easy job, isn't it?"
"I am willing to serve you, sir." The gambler looked very happy, and ran towards the pillar through the crowd. In fact, the pillar was about 200 meters away from the crowd.
Until this time, the audience who had been quiet erupted into loud applause, whistles and shouts instantly filled the entire casino, and the photographer adjusted the lens to the audience in a timely manner.
"My God, this is amazing, I don't want to say anything else, this [beep—] is amazing!" A big man wearing a peaked cap looked at Asa excitedly and said to the camera.
"Oh, is this an illusion trick? It's incredible, those chips completely defy gravity."
Asa kept staring at the big wall clock, and the long-range cameraman also pointed his camera there, until the man gave Asa an ok gesture.
Asa nodded, and made a gesture for him to stand aside, and the crowd also opened up a passage, and no one knew what Asa was going to do.
Asa picked up a green chip with his index finger, stared at the tall wall clock 200 meters away, and smiled—
