Chapter 223: Chapter 166: Magic Instruction and Night Raid on White Eagle!_2Baglas, which was without any faults except for luck, could only be explained by miracles.

Including Qian’s Baglas, which wasn’t entirely clean, his method of selecting the third audience member was different from before and was also questioned by some.

Magic, the process of unraveling secrets is actually the most uninteresting time because it is ultimately not magic but will surely disappoint many people.

Even if...

These people knew the secrets, they could not perform with the same stunning effect.

Jiang Shu admitted to himself that his Baglas technique wasn’t very clever, but the idea and creative leap were excellent. Following this train of thought, perhaps a cleaner and purer magical effect could be developed.

”Alright then.” Su Xiaoou didn’t get an answer and sighed somewhat dejectedly, but she could understand what Jiang Shu was thinking.

The teacher definitely wasn’t hiding his skill; he truly hoped she could study on her own and conquer this effect.

Anyway, at least she knew it wasn’t magic, that it was achievable by normal people, right?

Su Xiaoou told herself this, feeling an inexplicably kindled fighting spirit.

”Then the second one, this magic called ’Fear,’ do you have any thoughts on it?” Jiang Shu moved on from that topic; the next three magic tricks were indeed the real problems Su Xiaoou had to solve.

To tell the truth, the effect was quite strong, but the principle wasn’t difficult.

”The second one is probably...” Su Xiaoou thought for a bit, ”audio marking?”

”Hmm? Explain in detail.” Jiang Shu’s expression didn’t change; he merely prompted Su Xiaoou to continue.

”You’ve mentioned many marking methods, like the common visual cues and the uncommon scent markings,” Su Xiaoou noticed Jiang Shu didn’t correct her, so she continued, ”I was wondering if there could also be audio cues, like listening to determine what the audience member really wrote.”

”Hmm, and then?” Jiang Shu nodded his head.

”Just by listening to determine her greatest fear, you, teacher, might be able to do it, but there’s no need to use such a high-failure-rate method, so I guess... you peeked!” Su Xiaoou expressed her guess as she exhaled, ”Turning around gives the audience a sense of security, but peeking often happens under such circumstances, like you could see reflections from your wristwatch.”

After pondering for a while, Jiang Shu neither said it was wrong nor right, but simply nodded and said, ”You passed this question.”

”Mhm, mhm.” Su Xiaoou’s eyes lit up; such a reaction from Jiang Shu indicated that even if the magic’s effect didn’t come from that method, at least it proved her approach was highly viable.

That is to say, she could perform this effect herself!

Of course, this would require a lot of practice, otherwise getting caught peeking...

It would be a total loss of the magician’s coolness!

After all, Jiang Shu had said long ago, magicians don’t lose coolness by peeking; they lose it by being caught peeking.

”The third one...” Su Xiaoou thought and displayed two lists on her wristwatch: one of adjectives and the other of nouns.

She pointed to the only outstanding adjective on the list, ”furry,” and said, ”This one has four characters.”

Then she pointed to the only outstanding noun, ”teddy bear,” continuing, ”This one has three characters.”

”They stand out too much and match; it’s very easy to strong-select this one in a short time, then you prepare a teddy bear and fire paper in advance,” Su Xiaoou spewed out her understanding, ”It’s probably like that.”

Having said that, she carefully lifted her eyes to glance at Jiang Shu, but she didn’t see the satisfaction she hoped for in his eyes.

”You know, I’ve told you before,” Jiang Shu slowly said, ”Very few of the words and procedures I design are completely useless.”

He continued, ”If that were the case, there would be too many redundancies in the script; that is not my style.”

”This...” Su Xiaoou blinked and then lowered her head in distress, ”I didn’t see it.”

”It’s okay, you are not the only one who didn’t see it.” Jiang Shu smiled. His words, which seemed casual, might hurt many people, ”What you said sounds reasonable, but they are actually not crucial.”
