The Daily Life Of A Cyberpunk Magician

Chapter 209 - 161: Derivative Entry - Optical Invisibility Technique
Chapter 209: Chapter 161: Derivative Entry - Optical Invisibility Technique”The thermal imager shows that he really moved those things off the stage, and then quickly slipped away.”

”I saw it too, he... he can really become invisible.”

”This is hard to explain now.”

A few audience members with thermal imaging couldn’t help but speak out, their hearts mixed with various emotions.

They had always thought that ’Jiang Shu is a magician’ was just a joke, but now it seemed...

This wasn’t scientific at all, right?

Their prosthetic eyes contained the thermal imaging version of a normal magic performance, so they could clearly see that this time, Jiang Shu was definitely not wearing a scientific invisibility cloak.

The thermal image of Jiang Shu with and without the invisibility cloak showed significant differences; they were completely dissimilar.

So these audience members were utterly confused about the reason behind it.

”Really? Do you guys have a recording? The thermal imaging version, send it to me if you have it!” An audience member yelled at those few, wanting to see for themselves what had just happened on stage.

Simply watching the items on stage was thrilling enough, but if they could see what Jiang Shu actually did...

The magician was busted.

”Okay, I’ll project it right now.” These audience members broadcasted the thermal imaging video directly from their wristwatches, and immediately, the surrounding audience members crowded around, three layers inside and three layers outside.

Fortunately, there were seven or eight individuals in the audience with thermal imaging prosthetic eyes, who, dispersing, projected the video on walls, floors, or ceilings, avoiding any stampedes.

”Is this... for real?” The onlookers, watching the colored blocks in the thermal image that depicted Jiang Shu, couldn’t help but exclaim.

”The quality of the thermal imaging in these videos varies, and the magician’s color block appearance and filming angles are all different. Only the magician’s actions are exactly the same; these videos can’t be faked.” Someone asserted their conclusion after watching two or three videos simultaneously.

”Indeed.” Another audience member concurred.

At that moment, the show director jumped up onto the stage and loudly addressed the chaotic spectators in the audience seats, ”We’ll now insert a five-minute commercial break. Please quickly take care of your personal matters and be seated. ’Bob’s Talk Show’ will continue shortly.”

To be fair, this was the first time that the program had inserted a commercial mid-show, but given the circumstances, it couldn’t be helped. The audience had become spontaneously chaotic, and since it was a live broadcast, a commercial break was the only way to give them time to calm down.

The viewers also realized their behavior had been out of line. Directly causing the live show to pause like that could be considered a breach of contract, and the production team even had the right to fine them.

Thus, they gradually returned to their seats to await the continuation of the interview.

Backstage.

”You really can become invisible? Quick, show me how you do it!” Wolf stared with wide eyes at Jiang Shu, who was holding the props and had returned backstage.

He had watched the entire live broadcast and was well aware of what had occurred in the audience seats.

”I told you to trust in science.” Jiang Shu casually sidestepped Wolf, casually saying, ”It’s just some tricks and props.”

”Really? Then how come I can’t understand any of it?” Wolf was taken aback, seeing Jiang Shu talk about it as if it were nothing; he almost believed him.

”If you understood it, how could I still make a living?” Jiang Shu smirked, his tone verging on insolence.

”Cut it out.” Wolf fell silent. He could go and ask Kirie, but of course, he wouldn’t.

Why would he inquire about someone else’s meal ticket? Besides, asking Kirie was pointless; that woman had long since turned away.

”About the upcoming interview, don’t mention any secrets from the police station, keep it tight,” Wolf suddenly reminded Jiang Shu, ”And... I don’t want to talk too much about the Deception Group. It’s easy to get sucked into their narrative. The Police Chief said I just need to represent the Seventh District Police Station well, so...”

Jiang Shu just gave him a thumbs up, his face oozing with ’leave it to me’ confidence.

”Wolf, Police Chief, Mr. Jiang Shu, please come to the stage now, the interview is ready to continue,” a staff member of the production team walked in and politely informed them.

When he looked at Jiang Shu, his eyes were filled with a simple color, overwhelmed with ’I want to learn to be invisible’, but due to his current job, he held back from saying more.

Jiang Shu followed Wolf onto the stage, where the host Bob had been waiting for some time.

”All right, please welcome today’s parties involved, Police Chief Wolf and our spokesperson magician Mr. Jiang Shu.” Bob gestured invitingly.

”Hello, everyone.” Wolf waved his hand in greeting, his appearance on stage just as stiff as before.

”Hello, everyone.” Jiang Shu also waved his hand, looking out over the excited crowd below and smiling.

”Please, take your seats.” Bob led them to their chairs and casually started the conversation, ”So, continuing from our previous topic. Police Chief Wolf described the ’Fox’ as a self-proclaimed vigilante, but I’ve also noticed that many netizens view the ’Fox’ as a ’justice enforcer’. His methods surpass those of regular police, his approach to fighting crime is more precise, and I’ve heard that throughout the process of dealing with criminals, the Deception Group hasn’t hurt a single person. I’d like to know, Mr. Jiang Shu, what is your opinion on the ’Fox’?”

Bob smiled slyly at Jiang Shu, subtly offering a choice in his words, ready to oppose whatever Jiang Shu chose and easily transition the discussion.
