The Daily Life Of A Cyberpunk Magician

He needed light, so he turned to look at the Tablet Spirits beside him.

Ding: Venturing into the human world for a startling banquet, when the ghost knife strikes, nothing is seen.

Jiang Shu: ”...”

Crazy, turn on the lights!

It seemed as if they heard his inner voice, the Tablet Spirits turned on flashlights and shone them on the stage, and Jiang Shu quickly rushed towards the stage, but he was unable to move due to the crowded people.

”They are on the stage!” he shouted loudly, but at that moment, the lights suddenly turned on and the venue became bright again.

After regaining his sight, everyone looked towards the stage, where Shen Xuwan had already disappeared.

——

”Disappeared,” Wolf said with furrowed brows, ”How can such a big living person just vanish like that?”

”During a power outage at New Moon Hall, the system automatically checks the status of the regular power supply. If it cannot resolve the fault by itself, it immediately activates the backup power,” the director said, equally worried. ”The entire process takes at most three minutes, and during tests, it was within two minutes.”

”So, you’re saying that within three minutes, Shen Xuwan was abducted?” Jiang Shu stroked his chin and then began measuring the distance with his own strides.

He walked from the door to the stage, estimating the distance to be about twenty meters. The running speed of an average adult is about seven meters per second, but the stretch was dark and had obstacles such as glass displays. At that rate, five meters per second was already considered fast.

”When did the security personnel go out?” Jiang Shu asked the Tablet Spirits beside him, knowing these little devices had the bad habit of recording audio and secretly taking photos or videos.

To this, they confidently called it data collection.

Tile A: At thirty seconds into the darkness, the director spoke.

Tile B: At forty-two seconds, the security personnel left the venue.

Tile C: At one minute three seconds, Shen Xuwan screamed.

Tile D: Two minutes, the lights came on.

From the videos recorded by the four Tablet Spirits, A, B, C, and D, it was possible to clearly understand the timing of each event after the lights went out.

”Their actions were so quick...” Wolf felt troubled as well. In just two short minutes, Deception Group had snatched Shen Xuwan right under their noses.

”And, why didn’t anyone see them?” he continued, ”Even though it was dark at the venue, there was still some light. I could see people ten meters away, but I couldn’t see anyone from Deception Group.”

”Wolf, Police Chief!” At that moment, a police officer ran up quickly.

When Shen Xuwan disappeared, Wolf had immediately sealed off the entire New Moon Hall. The supporting officers had arrived swiftly and were responsible for searching the interior of New Moon Hall, including places where robbers might be hiding and checking the guests.

However, those who held New Moon Hall membership cards generally held distinguished social statuses. After a brief investigation, nothing unusual was found, and they were let go.

”What is it?” Wolf looked at the officer.

”We...” The officer came running and caught his breath as he spoke.

”We’ve found Ms. Shen Xuwan!”
