Chapter 208: Chapter 160 Why Does This Magician Always Mess Up?_3Although tiny and densely packed, if you looked closely, you could still make them out.

”Oh, now we’re talking.”

The audience nodded collectively, their understanding restored.

”See, I told you to believe in science,” Jiang Shu said with a chuckle as he lifted the front of the raincoat to display the imaging devices on it.

But inadvertently, he revealed the lower part of the raincoat, which had neither clothes nor a body underneath—just the transparent background behind him.

Jiang Shu reacted swiftly, his smile vanishing instantly as he quickly let the raincoat fall, concealing the area inside.

Not a trace of embarrassment was evident on his face, only a slick composure that resembled the calm after a lip-sync slip.

He cleared his throat meaningfully, as if to gloss over the incident.

However, the audience was not blind; even though the revealing moment had lasted only a few seconds, they had seen it all.

The raincoat was also invisible from below. We all saw it!

”???”

”Did he just become invisible under the raincoat?”

”I saw it too; he definitely became invisible.”

”And he says he doesn’t know magic; what’s there to explain now!”

Jiang Shu did not comment on this. He just gestured with his hand and continued the magic performance nonchalantly, ”Anyway, if you have the money, this kind of invisibility cloak really isn’t a problem.”

”The invisibility cloak is good, but it has minor shortcomings. For example, it’s quite heavy—not lighter than a thick cotton-padded jacket. Imagine, wearing this thing in the heat of summer.” Jiang Shu shook his head and raised a second finger, ”Moreover, in some places with unstable network signals or signal-blocking features, this invisibility cloak can easily revert back to its original form.”

”Alas, there’s no helping it.” He sighed and went on, ”So sometimes I wonder, is there a more relaxed and convenient way to become invisible?”

Jiang Shu explained his thought process seriously, ”Invisibility isn’t the same as disappearance; it’s just visual disappearance, and its visual effects are influenced by simple factors.”

He held up two fingers, ”One is the brain because, after all, vision is formed in the brain; the other is light. If you control light, you can achieve invisibility.”

”But light, you know, you can’t see it or touch it. How can anyone control light?” Jiang Shu shook his head with a wry smile.

He stretched out his hand as if he were about to grab the light from the ceiling.

Then...

The light ball inside the lamp slowly descended, gradually landing in his hand and completely under his control.

”Well, maybe it’s not that hard,” Jiang Shu shrugged and then suddenly closed his palms together, and the light ball instantly vanished.

The room plunged into darkness, and his voice rang out again, ”You see, in this pitch-black environment, everyone is invisible. Isn’t this the simplest form of invisibility? Hahaha.”

However, at this moment, another quiet voice suddenly sounded in the auditorium, ”Who turned off the lights? Turn them back on.”

The voice was soft, but it was heard by quite a few.

The light returned to the stage, and Jiang Shu’s figure had vanished.

But his voice continued to emanate from the stage, ”So you see, invisibility techniques like this just aren’t real. It’s better to believe in science.”

”In this world, there’s no such thing as light magic. It’s all just stuff to fool kids. Really.” It seemed like Jiang Shu was still muttering on stage, but there was indeed no sign of him.

Then the audience saw the dustpan and broom being taken offstage.

Followed by little pots, test tubes, and stands, which were all carried away.

”The thermal imaging shows he’s still on stage!”

”This guy doesn’t think the lights are still off, does he?”

”Exposing himself again. Jiang Shu, you still claim you don’t do magic!”

The humming on stage suddenly stopped, and then the audience noticed that the pace at which the props were removed quickened significantly.

Until the stage returned to calm.

During this phase, the stage was continuously devoid of any human figure, the items seemingly moved by ghosts.

Outrageous.

”I saw everything; the thermal imaging showed he was just moving all the things off the stage... then he slipped away.”

”Me too.”

”This...”

”Is this... mastering light magic just to learn invisibility?”
