Chapter 416: Chapter 239: I Want You to be the God of the New World! _3After all, how many entertainers from the Entertainment Series are willing to face a demon that crawled out of Hell for their fans, like Clo?

To describe this journey as a narrow escape from death wouldn’t even be sufficient. Who knows if Clo might suddenly go crazy, detonate a bomb, or start shooting wildly?

Thus, at this moment, all the little tricks the magician had just used became a demonstration of bravery, intelligence, and fearlessness in the face of danger.

For instance, taking advantage of the rules, using persuasive language, secretly taking out a second coin.

The hostages were not in the same location as Clo—they naturally saw Jiang Shu hiding the coin between his fingers, but only a fool would tip off Clo that Jiang Shu was cheating.

Below the hostage hall, Jiang Shu stood before Red Clo, and a black deck of cards appeared in his hands, which he casually played with.

”Very good, you really showed up,” Red Clo said with a grin, ”I knew you would understand my code. Using rhythmic tapping as a coding system with four different rhythms as data points—clever, right?”

”Uh... yeah.” Jiang Shu hesitated slightly, then quickly nodded in agreement.

Actually, he hadn’t understood at all.

Who could understand such nonsensical things? But if Red Clo thought he understood, then let it be that he understood.

The future he had just seen in the Foreknowledge Technique was exactly like this.

Previously, Red Clo had been mostly acting, although Jiang Shu wasn’t clear about the specific purpose, he was sure that this Red Clo did not intend to harm the hostages.

That was also why he was willing to keep listening to Red Clo talk.

Wait, it might not all have been an act. That hatred toward Black Clo and many exaggerated behaviors, he didn’t know whether they were Red Clo’s real thoughts or not.

Now it seemed that neither Clo was simple; they weren’t as easy to read as they appeared.

”So what do you really want to do?” Jiang Shu furrowed his brows; he wanted to cut to the chase.

While asking this question, he could read Red Clo’s true thoughts through the Mind Reading Technique.

There was no helping it, the Jiang family was a bit slow, almost having to cheat to keep pace with these villains.

”First, tell me how you did it?” But Red Clo didn’t play along as Jiang Shu expected; he was just eagerly asking, ”During the fourth round, what was the first thing you said?”

Jiang Shu just shook his head, ”The first rule of a magician: after a performance, a magician will never reveal the secret to the audience.”

”Then perform it again,” Red Clo changed his request.

”The second rule: never perform the same magic trick for the same audience more than once,” Jiang Shu continued to refuse coldly.

”Alright then.” Red Clo dropped the question and just sighed.

And Jiang Shu couldn’t help but want to laugh inwardly.

All those supposed ’three fundamental rules of Magician Saston,’ that was all to fool Clo.

As said before, the stuff wasn’t even proposed by Saston. It was all just nonsense blown out of proportion by the enthusiastic outsiders.

Just like the so-called principles of the pure Baglas Effect.

So whether to follow it or not is entirely up to the magician’s own will, at least Jiang Shu definitely didn’t care much about these nonexistent rules.

”So what do you really want to do?” Jiang Shu returned to his original question.

”Me?” Red Clo suddenly laughed, but for some reason, his smile contained a trace of tragedy.

”The other Clo is gone forever... so I want you to become the god of this new world.”
