"this..."

"Huh? Why is Ying sitting on Su Bai's lap?" Paimon and Funina were dumbfounded.

I have absolutely no idea what's going on.

Ying was stunned for a few seconds before realizing that she had already changed positions.

However, she wasn't shy at all. Instead, she hugged Su Bai's neck, kissed him, and said, "I never expected that the husband I picked up for free would be a great magician."

"Life will definitely not be boring from now on."

Funina: "Ahem... Can you please look around before you start showing off your sweetness... really..."

However, Su Bai did not understand the principles behind magic.

The reason it can be done is simply through spatial teleportation techniques.

Therefore, Su Bai highly approves of Lin Ni's magic.

"Since you can also perform magic tricks, why did you sigh just now?"

"Do you think Linni's performance wasn't good enough?"

Paimon was overflowing with curiosity.

"He probably thinks Lynette 543 is changing her clothes too quickly."

Yingjiao chuckled.

"You know that?" Su Bai was taken aback, then laughed and said, "No, you know too much."

"A punishment will be necessary later."

"Oh! That's brilliant."

[Enthusiastic applause erupted in the opera house.]

Even Funina, seated in the VIP section, couldn't help but clap and cheer after her initial surprise.

[He didn't forget to steal glances at Su Bai sitting next to him.]

[It turned out that the other party simply calmly drank their tea without any reaction.]

【"that..."】

"Hehehe..."

"Wasn't the magic show exciting enough? You don't seem very interested."

"It's alright, not bad at all."

[You clearly didn't watch it.]

This dismissive attitude is all too obvious.

[Furina was dissatisfied with Su Bai's answer.]

Her pouty lips twitched slightly.

[Thinking to myself: If you're not interested, why did you come here?]

[He wouldn't come to a performance for a hundred years, but suddenly he showed up today.]

[It's made it so I can't watch it at my own pace.]

Next, Linni will perform another magic trick involving teleportation and disappearance.

[One lucky female audience member will be chosen to enter the box at the theater entrance, while Linnie will enter the box on the stage.]

Ultimately, their positions will be switched.

"During the transfer, we hope everyone will shout out the countdown together."

"Starting from sixty, and continuing until zero, I'll be at the door."

[Linnie smiled as she entered the box on the stage.]

In an instant, a loud countdown began to sound throughout the opera house.

The atmosphere at the scene was incredibly enthusiastic and exciting; everyone was eagerly anticipating the moment they would witness a miracle.

Until the very last second.

The boxes by the door were making a commotion.

The moment the door opened, Linni appeared before everyone.

"Oh! It worked!"

【"sharp."】

"He actually succeeded."

A burst of cheers erupted from the audience.

[Furina stood up excitedly, looking completely bewildered, as if she didn't understand how the other person had done it.]

The entire arena was cheering for Linni's magic trick, but Su Bai's brow furrowed slightly, and his expression turned unusually grim.

Interestingly, Su Bai's unchanging expression finally changed.

Studio.

Araki Ichito: "What's wrong? Brother Su Bai was also amazed by such a brilliant magic trick, wasn't he?"

Hisaki Shinobu: "I don't think so. I feel that Mr. Su Bai's expression doesn't seem like shock at the magic performance, but rather very..."

Lisa: "Fierce?"

Nasita: "Yes, I saw a hint of anger flash in Mr. Su Bai's eyes."

Wendy: "Anger? Mr. Su Bai has such a good temper, would he get angry?"

Yae no Miko: "Being good-tempered and getting angry seem to be two different things."

Lynette: "Why is Mr. Su Bai angry with my brother?"

Tvalin: "What did this little magician do while performing the magic trick?"

Linni: "This..."

Arenoch: "No need to be nervous, Linnie. Just say what you need to say. It's okay."

Linni: "Well, Father, actually this magic trick of mine is fake. My real purpose is to get close to the core of the Cardinals who make the decrees under the opera house."

Qin: "Huh?"

Navia: "Linnie and the others were actually raised by the Fools' Enforcers."

Diluc: "The Fools, huh? That's not surprising."

D'Artagnan: "You seem to have a problem with us Fools."

Paimon: "Grandpa Diluc once said that if he had to choose between joining the Fatui or swallowing an Ice Slime alive, he would rather be hit by a meteorite and fall into a crack in the ground."

D'Artagnan: "..."

Osel: "So ruthless."

Araki Ichito: "A real man."

However, the magician encountered a problem when opening the box on the magic table.

The selected audience girl who was supposed to appear was smashed to pieces along with the box when a huge water tank suddenly fell from above.

The deceased was actually Linnie's assistant, Cowell, while the girl who had been chosen earlier had disappeared.

[According to Navelette's assessment, the accident caused by this magic trick no longer falls into the category of a simple accident.]

[It is highly likely that this is related to previous cases of missing girls.]

【"I see."】

"The magic trick failed and Linnie's assistant died, but the chosen girl went missing."

[Furina muttered to herself.]

Suddenly, she seemed to understand something.

"Looking back now, Linni's opening line about going from nothing to something, and from something to nothing, was quite a provocation."

"Is magic used to cover up the truth about the missing girl?"

[Furina's remarks were heard by everyone present.]

Seeing this, Navelette had no choice but to ask, "Ms. Furnessa, may I interpret your statement just now as an accusation against Mr. Linnie and his companions?"

【Eh? 】

[Furina paused, instinctively raising her hands to her chest in a defensive stance.]

[His entire demeanor vanished without a trace due to shock.]

He quickly said, "I...I just think it's a bit premature for him to bring up accusations now."
