Isn't it very scientific to use the Death Note to kill people?

Chapter 39: Illusion

"By the time you realize it, you're already deeply trapped."

Please look forward to a fantastic performance.

The performance time of Günter von Goldberg II is approaching, and the large venue, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people at the same time, is packed.

The audience chattered excitedly and looked forward to it.

Snapped!

The lights in the venue suddenly turned off.

In the pitch darkness, the audience who noticed the abnormality on the stage gradually fell silent. When the noisy environment quieted down, a giant golden spider web spanning the entire venue gradually emerged from the center of the stage.

A huge golden spider quietly appeared above the stage and slowly crawled into the center of the spider web.

The spotlights that lit up in the darkness were all cast on the spider in the center of the web, and the brightest light fell on the center of the stage - there, a figure was slowly emerging from the lifting platform.

"Ladies and gentlemen!"

Günter von Goldberg II's face was projected into the sight of all the audience through the big screen. As he greeted them loudly, the compound eyes of the spider above the stage quietly emitted a strange red light.

The fluctuating red light also entered the eyes of all the audience through the screen.

Günter von Goldberg II snapped his fingers and spread his arms like a symphony conductor.

"Welcome to the dream world I created!"

moment!

The dim venue and the eerie atmosphere were suddenly swallowed up by strong light, and replaced by an extremely bright new world!

clear blue sky.

A green lawn that exudes the fragrance of soil after rain.

The audience felt all this in amazement, everyone looked at each other in amazement, and the figure of Günter von Goldberg II was standing in mid-air. He gracefully pointed at the children in the audience, and suddenly those children seemed to be free from gravity and took off into the air, slowly flying with his position as the center.

There were exclamations from the audience.

Suddenly, Günter von Goldberg II snapped his fingers, and the bright world disappeared like the flicker of an old television when it is turned off.

The light was swallowed up, and the giant golden spider on the stage was crawling up and down on the spider web strangely.

Until the next second, the lights in the venue were turned on again, and Günter von Goldberg II stood on the stage and bowed to everyone, and the audience seats on all sides also gave him thunderous applause.

"Amazing! I can't see any secrets or tricks at all..."

In the front row of the audience, a girl who looked very similar to Mao Li Ran said to her companions in amazement.

The boy sitting next to her was also surprised, but he was a little nonchalant. "It's nothing more than a combination of cutting-edge digital effects and mass hypnosis. If I see it one more time, maybe I'll see through it."

"Kaito, what are you talking about... Hongzi invited us to such a great show, so saying this is such a bummer!"

"Hmm... Speaking of which, you've been so quiet since a while ago. That's not like you, young lady."

Kuroba Kaito turned his head and looked at the beautiful girl with bright wine-red hair beside him.

Koizumi Hongzi was tense all over.

As a witch, she despised illusions and such false tricks. According to her personality, she should have arrogantly mocked them at this time, but she didn't expect that man to be here too -

Sitting two rows in front of here, a man exuding the aura of death, just seeing the dark aura overflowing from him, Koizumi Hongzi felt like she was almost breathless...

She had never seen anyone or anything like it.

If she hadn't been able to see clearly, Koizumi Akako might have mistaken what kind of monster was living in front of her.

"..."

Fortunately, I am just a spectator now, and I am not a fortune teller so I won’t be recognized.

"This is incredible, Teacher Lin... Did you see any flaws?"

Yoko Okino's voice was subdued, but filled with excitement and novelty. She was sitting in the audience, wearing a mask and a hat again.

"Not at all."

Lin Jiashu answered her.

Günter von Goldberg II's performance was flawless, and it was so realistic that it was indistinguishable from the real thing in terms of vision, hearing and smell.

However, Lin Jiashu did notice how his illusion was activated - the necessary conditions should be the strange red light emitted by the compound eyes of the golden giant spider that attracted the attention of all the audience, and the other condition was the gust of wind hidden under the exclamations of the audience, which seemed to be brought by the air conditioner in the venue.

Colorless and odorless wind...

It’s just because it came so unexpectedly that Lin Jiashu cares more about it.

"I'm so lucky to see such an amazing performance," said Yoko Okino.

"What just happened was just an appetizer. Let's continue and see what happens next."

Of course, the special performance would not end in just a few minutes. On the stage, Günter von Goldberg II's performance continued.

Lin Jiashu watched the whole process to the end, and his thoughts became more and more active - the opponent's illusion was even more useful than he expected, and it was very worth obtaining.

After the performance, Koizumi Akako left in a hurry.

As the other audience members were still not satisfied and lined up to leave, Yoko Okino winked at Hayashi Yoshiki and took him to the back of the stage against the crowd.

She just said a few words to the backstage staff, and they immediately let her go, and she went straight to the backstage lounge.

"Welcome, beautiful lady!"

The blond illusionist smiled handsomely and greeted us warmly like a gentleman. "The organizers have already told me. Thank you very much for coming."

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Günter."

Yoko Okino, who took off her mask and hat, also entered business mode.

After the greetings, Yoko Okino introduced him to Yoshiki Hayashi.

"Good evening, Mr. Günther. This performance was truly marvelous, and I feel very lucky to be in your audience."

"Hmm! Wonderful! I prefer this word to wonderful..."

The bright smile on Günter von Goldberg II's face made it impossible to imagine that he was actually a top assassin in private. He happily shook hands with Lin Jiashu and said, "Thank you for your support, too. I wish you a wonderful weekend."

After the greetings, he took out the pen he carried with him and signed his name in beautiful cursive script.

Afterwards, he was very kind and took a photo with the two of them with the help of the photographer.

It turned out to be the case.

This post-performance meeting should be considered a promotional activity.

Lin Jiashu maintained a gentle smile on the surface, but this thought flashed through his mind.

For the entertainment industry, fame is a convenient thing that can be borrowed from each other. Both stars and idols need topics, and this kind of "linked" publicity is a simple and efficient way.

But it doesn't matter.

The important thing is, I got the signature——

Chapter 40: Tips

"Teacher Lin, this is the signature you wanted. Please accept it."

A little later, Yoko Okino suddenly handed the signature she had obtained to Hayashi Yoshiki.

Facing Lin Jiashu's surprise, Okino Yoko simply chuckled and said, "Because I'm not a fan of Mr. Günter, since Mr. Lin is more interested, this autograph will be more valuable if it is given to you."

"I see. Thank you, Miss Yoko."

Lin Jiashu finally chose to accept it.

It was almost dinner time after the performance, so to express his gratitude, Hayashi Yoshiki invited Okino Yoko to dinner.

The restaurant is an Italian restaurant recommended by Yoko Okino.

The two of them sat in the corner, and Yoko Okino seemed to be in a particularly good mood.

"Actually, I've been wanting to eat at this restaurant for a long time, and today I finally got the chance to try it."

“Being a star is really hard.”

"Yeah, because my agent and assistant are always watching me. Even though I know they're responsible for me... sometimes I feel like I can't breathe."

"So is it okay to come out like this today?"

"It's okay. I've been informed of this operation, and I should be given some time to relax."

As they were talking, the waiter brought the drink up first. After Okino Yoko took it and tried it, her brows relaxed: "Ah, it's sweet and delicious."

"Well, it's not bad." Lin Jiashu also tried it - iced fruit tea, probably this kind of drink.

"...Actually, I rarely have the chance to eat anything sweet, so it's a bit exaggerated."

Yoko Okino was a little embarrassed when she said this, but she didn't mean to complain. After she finished speaking, she suddenly said playfully, "By the way, Teacher Lin, I want to order some ice cream later. I'd like to ask you to keep this a secret for me."

"If Miss Yoko only eats one portion."

“One portion is enough”

Okino Yoko laughed.

Soon the waiter brought the dishes ordered by the two to the table one after another. Seeing that the table was almost full even though they didn't order much, Lin Jiashu couldn't help but look around.

"What's wrong, Teacher Lin?"

"Nothing, I just suddenly realized that Italian restaurants are really suitable for dates."

"Eh?"

"Have you noticed? All the tables here are very small."

Lin Jiashu rested his elbows on the table and looked at Okino Yoko with a smile.

"Because the table is small, if you sit facing each other, the distance between you will be very close."

"..."

Yoko Okino held her breath slightly.

Facing Lin Jiashu's delicate face and gentle smile, she seemed to subconsciously slow down her movements.

"But in comparison, authentic Chinese food is not very suitable for dating." Lin Jiashu said again.

"why?"

"After all, the restaurant over there has really big round tables. If a guy were to laboriously turn the glass while considerately asking a girl what she wants to eat, that scene wouldn't be very romantic."

Yoko Okino tried to imagine it and was immediately amused.

"But not all Chinese restaurants have big round tables," she said after laughing. "It seems like only the more upscale Chinese restaurants have those."

"That's true. But speaking of Chinese food, I do have a little trick for determining if a restaurant is authentic."

"what is it then?"

"Look at the restaurant's name. Chinese restaurants like 'Beijiaolou' or 'Qixinglou' are probably not as reliable as restaurants with names like 'Tiantian Hongyun Restaurant'."

"So that's it."

Yoko Okino looked as if she had learned something.

As a popular idol, she's surprisingly easy to get along with in private...

While eating, Lin Jiashu observed her carefully - she was very relaxed and in a good mood, and her reaction when eating delicious food was also cute and natural.

If these are not disguised, she is indeed a very high-quality girl.

There are more and more customers in the restaurant.

After tasting the food, Lin Jiashu also found that the food in this restaurant was indeed very good, and it was the kind of restaurant that he would occasionally want to visit after a while.

After almost finishing her meal, Yoko Okino actually ordered an ice cream - even though she had said a few minutes ago that she couldn't eat anything anymore.

"It's so embarrassing to be stared at while eating ice cream..."

Okino Yoko was a little embarrassed, and then immediately changed the subject and asked, "By the way, how old is Mr. Lin?"

"I think she's 22."
