I'm not a theatre god

The black veil covered Chen Ling's expression. If others could see through the veil, they would see that Chen Ling had almost written the words "I want to act" on his face. However, his refusal aroused Wu Shaohua's confidence.

"What's wrong with that? Are you afraid?" Wu Shaohua snorted coldly, "The lousy actor just now only got three points. If you are afraid that you can't win, just say it directly. Now kowtow to me and apologize immediately. I can pretend that nothing happened just now."

"This... is mainly because the judges... are not in accordance with the rules?"

"What do you think, judges?"

Wu Shaohua looked at the judges. The expressions of the six judges were a little subtle. They looked at each other... Logically speaking, contestants who did not sign up cannot perform on stage, but... Wu Shaohua gave too much.

"Since they are all young people with dreams, give them a stage." Manager Zhou said with a smile, "But it's agreed that the scores will not be included in the final selection. Just take a look."

The whispers of the crowd became louder and louder.

"Brother Lin, what are you doing..." Li Qingshan, who was standing by, was extremely anxious when he saw this scene.

The development of the matter was completely beyond Li Qingshan's expectations. He looked at Chen Ling in red in confusion, wondering why he deliberately provoked Wu Shaohua... Could it be to defend himself?

"I can't agree, I must not agree... Brother Lin..." Li Qingshan prayed in his heart.

Liu Qingyan, who was hiding in the corner, frowned unconsciously and looked at Chen Ling in confusion, wondering what she was thinking.

Under the gaze of everyone,

Chen Ling thought for a moment with some embarrassment, but still nodded,

"... Then, let's perform a show!"

The dark clouds on Wu Shaohua's face suddenly dissipated. He looked at Chen Ling with a sneer, walked off the stage, and made room for him, "Please?"

After saying that, he gave the six judges in the audience a look, and the latter immediately understood.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the figure in the bright red robe first walked to the wall and turned off the lights above the auditorium, then walked up the stairs slowly and steadily amid the puzzled gazes of the crowd, and finally stood under the spotlight, smiling at the crowd.

Except for the theater in his mind, Chen Ling had not stood on the stage for a long time. Although it was simple and small, at least there were living audiences, not black shadows with scarlet eyes... This gave him a long-lost sense of familiarity and freedom.

Seeing Chen Ling on stage, Manager Zhou spoke in a deep voice:

"You are an opera singer, right? Which role do you sing? Which script?"

"Me? I can't sing opera."

"......?"

Everyone's brows frowned immediately. They looked at Chen Ling with a somewhat unhappy expression. Just as they were about to say something, Chen Ling's voice sounded again:

"But, I can perform other things."

"What?"

Chen Ling's mouth corners slightly raised, and he spoke word by word:

"Magic transformation."

[Audience expectation value +3]

"Magic transformation?" Wu Shaohua in the audience sneered, "So you are a magician in a robe? It's just some deceptive tricks. This boring performance, I want to see what you can do."

The audience heard this and felt a little bored. Magic performances are not new in the world of mortals. They have studied them thoroughly decades ago. They are boring tricks that can only fool children.

Several judges looked at each other and said calmly, "You can start."

Chen Ling nodded,

"I need a judge to cooperate with me...Manager Zhou, is it convenient?"

Manager Zhou was slightly stunned. Although he was not interested in this performance, he saw that everyone else was looking at him. After hesitating for a moment, he still stood up and walked to the stage... He wanted to see what tricks this man in red was going to play.

Manager Zhou stood beside Chen Ling and said impatiently, "Tell me, then what? How are you going to make me disappear?"

Chen Ling put one hand on his shoulder and turned it directly to the bottom of the stage. There were seven judges' seats facing him, two of which were empty. After that, there was a dark audience.

"Manager Zhou, if you tell me a name, I can make him and his belongings appear. Do you believe it?"

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone's eyes were filled with surprise, and Manager Zhou was also stunned for a moment...

Even though they were all senior judges who had seen countless performances, this was the first time they had heard of such an outrageous magic. When other people performed magic, they would make people around them appear again. They had never heard of someone being summoned by name, and also bringing their belongings?

If this could really be done, it would only mean that Manager Zhou was his agent, but Manager Zhou could never be...This immediately aroused everyone's interest.

"Of course, the person you are talking about must be a real person, and the distance cannot be too far." Chen Ling added.

"I don't believe it." Manager Zhou shook his head decisively.

"You name one."

Manager Zhou's eyes swept across the front, and a name suddenly popped up in his mind. He subconsciously said, "If you have the ability, you can make Manager Sun appear."

As soon as this sentence came out, the whispers in the audience became louder, and the expressions of several judges were a little subtle, looking at Chen Ling on the stage with a smile.

But Chen Ling was not surprised at all...or rather, everything was under his control.

Before traveling through time, Chen Ling had many contacts with top magic masters and learned a lot of magic, some of which are called "psychological magic", such as guessing numbers, guessing colors, or other predictive magic... This The principle of quasi-magic is actually very simple in the final analysis, it is psychological suggestion.

Before Chen Ling came on stage, she had turned off all the lights above the auditorium, so when looking down from the stage, the only bright spot was where the seven judges' seats were, and everything behind was pitch black, which would invisibly distract people. The subconscious is limited to the visible range in front of him, which is why Chen Ling put her hand on his shoulder and adjusted Supervisor Zhou's perspective to the center.

At the same time, among the seven judges, the absence of Director Sun impressed them the most. Whenever this name is mentioned or heard recently, it will be engraved in the subconscious. Chen Ling added, "The distance cannot be too far." "This condition further locks in the answer that Director Zhou is about to say.

On the surface, Chen Ling gave Supervisor Zhou the initiative, but in fact, from beginning to end, he only left one option for Supervisor Zhou... This is the wonder of "psychological magic".

After receiving Manager Zhou's answer, the corners of Chen Ling's mouth raised slightly... He glanced at the bottom of the stage and spoke slowly:

"Then...the magic begins."
