Chapter 230: 218 new discoveries 2

Soon.

The entrance concluded, and the tent doors closed.

All staff members exited.

The lights gradually dimmed.

The dozen or so people present all focused their gaze on the stage.

Everyone’s mood began to carry a hint of expectation and curiosity.

Soft music started playing, and a tall man in a tailcoat came out from the left side, holding a deck of cards in his hand.

"Welcome everyone to our carefully prepared Horror Magic show. I am the performing magician Gao Yun. Now, the first magic act I will bring to you is... the Card Show!"

Having said that, the magician Gao Yun began to perform the card disappearing trick with deliberation and precision.

One moment the cards were here, the next they were there—he had some skill.

But no matter how you looked at it, this guy’s performance didn’t have the slightest element of horror.

Zhou Xingtong was also somewhat puzzled because the person on the stage was not the boss.

However, the current magic act was still quite interesting, at least watchable.

So she continued watching patiently.

Time slowly passed, and after Magician Gao Yun finished the card act, he moved on to a dove act.

Ah!!

Suddenly, a scream burst from a corner of the audience seats.

Everyone turned their gaze in that direction, trying to make out what happened in the dim light of the stage.

Zhou Xingtong was no exception, she quickly straightened her body and looked over.

In the corner, a burly, tall man had knocked a skinny man to the ground, holding a dagger in his hand.

He plunged the dagger into the skinny man’s chest repeatedly, in a frenzy.

Blood flowed incessantly on the ground and splattered on both of them.

"I’m killing you! Killing you! Killing you!!! Hahaha!"

The burly man quickly stood up from the ground, holding the bloody dagger and violently lunged at a stunned staff member nearby.

Thump!

The staff member screamed, trying to run, but failed to escape. He too was knocked to the ground, a dagger plunged into his chest, his body quickly convulsing as blood gushed out.

"I’ll kill you, kill all of you!!!" The burly man stood up again and lunged at others.

AAHH!!

In an instant, everyone was terrified.

All the spectators panicked, scrambling toward the exit.

But for some reason, the exit had been locked long ago.

As they watched the burly man holding the dagger, he knocked down another two people.

More and more blood covered the dagger as he continued to lunge toward the rest of the people.

The spectators grew even more terrified.

Screams and cries erupted, and more than a dozen people began running chaotically inside the tent.

"Someone’s been murdered!!"

"Call the police!!"

"Mommy!"

"Let’s fight him! He’s just one person, what’s there to be scared of!!?"

A robust man charged at him incredulously, only to be stabbed several times in the chest by the dagger and fell to the ground motionless.

This made everyone else even more afraid.

"Hahahaha!!"

The man holding the dagger laughed maniacally, and suddenly, he tossed the dagger up into the air.

Poof!

The dagger instantly exploded and turned into a shower of brilliant Golden Gladiolus Petals.

The petals gently fell, fading away before they even touched the ground.

At this moment, all the people who had been stabbed in the chest stood up.

"Don’t be afraid, everyone. The act just now was performed with the cooperation of the staff."

The burly man raised his hands high, and a layer of invisible tender force field, like a spring breeze, covered all the people within ten meters.

Seeing this scene, it became clear that no one had actually been killed.

The spectators who were still frantically running about suddenly slowed in their movements.

Then came sighs of relief, and some people couldn’t help but move forward out of curiosity to touch the staff members’ supposed wounds.

But they couldn’t feel any injuries at all; the previous occurrences were obviously all acted out.

Only then did everyone fully believe that what had just happened was indeed a magic performance.

The audience members who caught on began to applaud one after another.

However, a few people’s hearts were still racing, cursing under their breath, extremely dissatisfied with the half-real half-fake scare performance.

Li Chengyi stood in the middle of the audience seats, unsurprised.

All of this had been within his expectations.

But that was fine.

As long as safety issues were managed, ensuring the elderly, weak, sick, and disabled did not enter, and taking care to prevent stampedes and crushes, everything would be fine.

Even if there was a problem, no one would be harmed with him around.

The corners of his mouth curved up slightly.

Feeling the continuous feedback of Evil Thoughts from the Evil Flower made his mood extremely pleasant.

’Fear +1’

’Fear +1’

’Fear +1’

The continuous update of fear went on and on, tallying up over twenty times before halting.

Most of these people only provided one or two points of Evil Thoughts.

The amount of Evil Thoughts per person was quite small.

But what they lacked in individual contribution, they made up for in numbers!

With over a dozen people combined, in less than half an hour, they had provided him with a total of 24 points of Evil Thoughts.

Although it wasn’t as much as traditional powerhouses like Zhuang Yijing and the others, this method had the advantage of being continuous and allowed for a steady ’harvesting’ of newcomers.

Then it was time for everyone to clean up the scene. Li Chengyi got on stage and performed a few minor magic tricks, like igniting wooden boards with his bare hands, and the performance came to an end.

The audience was arranged to leave one after another.

Some were left wanting more, while others left cursing, their expressions ugly.

Next was another show.

Li Chengyi did not always use the same routine but switched up the methods.

He used various approaches like simulating a sudden fire, dressing up in terrifying costumes, using Shadow Flash to scare, and so on.

From 7:40 in the evening, the show went on until eleven when it ended.

Although the number of people per show was not large, the harvest of Evil Thoughts was quite stable.
