My life in the underworld begins at the Takayanagi family!

The magician's assistants on stage, however, had no intention of waiting for the audience to recover. The eight of them immediately began to use their spears to stab the huge iron cage on the stage.

Eight spears were thrust into the huge iron cage from different directions, and not on the same horizontal line, but in different ways both up and down and left and right, making it impossible for the magician inside to escape.

The audience members who were close to the stage gasped in surprise. They felt as if the eight spears were stuck in their bodies, and they couldn't move at all.

"This kind of magic show is a bit too bloody. I will never watch this kind of magic show again, no matter what."

The magician's performance wasn't explicitly stated in the promotional materials, so you only find out what kind of magic trick it is when you see it live.

If they had known there would be such a bloody performance, Shiori Yamamura and Yui Yamamura definitely wouldn't have brought Ichiro Takayanagi to watch it. Instead, they would have chosen something more romantic, like going to an amusement park together.

Fortunately, Takayanagi Ichiro is with them now, which can give them great comfort and prevent them from having any thoughts of running away because of the bloody performance.

In no time at all, the eight spears, carrying the eight beautiful magician assistants, were all thrust into the huge iron cage.

If the magician is really inside, he's definitely beyond saving.

"Brother Gao Liu, that magician should be fine, right?"

Shiori Yamamura wasn't worried about the magician; she was just concerned that the magic performance was too gory, which is why she asked the question.

"Don't worry, the magician came out through the secret door a long time ago and blended in with that magic assistant's team."

Hoshigawa Dogo had actually come out of the cage and joined the group of magic assistants, which surprised both Yamamura Shiori and Yamamura Yui.

So the two of them immediately looked at the magician's assistants' group, and could see that they were walking side by side.

However, the lights did not shine on them, so it was impossible to tell how many people had left.

"I'd heard the phrase 'the darkest place is under the lamp' before, but now I truly understand what it means. Magicians really are quite adept at using sleight of hand."

At this moment, Yamamura Yui couldn't help but marvel at the magician's wonder, but she was even more impressed by Takayanagi Ichiro's erudition.

No magic trick can hide from him; he seems to be the progenitor of magicians.

Now that we know magic performances are not bloody, Yui Yamamura still has no intention of withdrawing her hand.

Being held by Takayanagi Ichiro like this gave me a strange sense of security that my parents or sister could not provide.

At this point, only one magician's assistant remained on the stage. He couldn't move it by himself; such a large iron cage had previously required two people to push it together.

Now there's one more person in, and eight more spears.

She couldn't slowly pull out the eight spears stuck in the iron cage and then cover the cage with the curtain; there was a simpler way.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the magician's assistant pulled out a lighter from his person, then squatted down and lit the curtain covering the iron cage.

"This woman is terrifying. I was thinking of going on a date with her after the performance, but now she seems so ruthless."

"If this person were to accidentally start a fire, then he would definitely be a murderer."

"Thank goodness, we're still performing, and our lives are still in our own hands."

Some men who were previously obsessed with beauty were horrified after seeing the magician's assistant's actions. They didn't want to risk their lives for beauty.

Other women also heard what the men were saying, but they did not object.

They can't wear alluring professional attire like the magician's assistants on stage; now that the other party is acting evilly, it's a perfect opportunity to highlight their kind nature.

This tomb must not have been specially made, because it caught fire very quickly.

In just a few seconds, the black curtain covering the iron cage was completely burned away.

"What? Where's the magician inside?"

To the audience's surprise, after the huge black curtain was burned away, there was no one inside. Only eight spears were piled up haphazardly in front of them, and the position in the very center was the spot where Hoshikawa Tongwu had previously occupied.

In other words, the magician Hoshigawa Dogo not only dodged the barrel spikes of the eight spears, but also disappeared directly from the huge iron cage.

"But where has the magician gone? Could he perhaps descend from the sky?"

"Yes, he should still show up, because there are still many performances to be completed."

Just then, a bright light suddenly shone down from the stage and landed on the audience seats, drawing everyone's attention.

Once their eyes adjusted to the light, they immediately saw a familiar figure standing beneath it—the magician Hoshigawa Dogo, who had vanished from the iron cage.

"They actually emerged from the iron cage into the audience."

"That's amazing! This is the first time I've ever seen an escape magic trick like that."

"Although we don't know how he did it, that doesn't stop us from applauding him."

Some audience members were clearly shills; after they led the applause, the other audience members joined in.

The two girls, Shiori Yamamura and Yui Yamamura, did not clap because they did not want to be separated from Ichiro Takayanagi.

Moreover, Ichiro Takayanagi has already revealed the principle behind this magic trick, so it's no longer magical to them.

Instead of clapping at this moment, it's better to look forward to Hoshigawa Dogo's next magic trick, and then have Takayanagi Ichiro explain the principles behind it. You can show it off to your classmates when you go back to school.

Chapter 613: Did the underwater escape magic show go too far?

Hoshikawa Tongwu remained silent, simply walking towards Wulai while listening to the applause and waving to the audience around him.

After all, it is because of these viewers that he has this reputation.

When he arrived in front of Takayanagi Ichiro and the others, he gave a slight bow.

"Thank you so much for coming to see my magic show. There's more to come!"

Hoshigawa Dogo spoke very softly, and apart from Yamamura Shiori and Yamamura Yui, the other audience members didn't hear him. He continued walking towards the stage.

Was he thanking us? Or did he already know we had figured out his magic trick?

Hoshigawa Dogo's sudden expression of gratitude to them surprised both Yamamura Shiori and Yamamura Yui.

They just wanted to come here to see the magic show; they had no intention of getting to know Hoshikawa Dogo.

"He must have noticed that Brother Gao Liu had an extraordinary demeanor, which is why he took the initiative to come over and greet us."

At this point, Shiori Yamamura and Yui Yamamura were not very confident, because the several beautiful magician assistants who had appeared on stage earlier were much prettier and sexier than them at this stage, and they couldn't compare at all, so they didn't think they could attract Hoshigawa Dogo's attention.

If that's the case, then Hoshigawa Dogo didn't come for them; he only came because Takayanagi Ichiro had an extraordinary demeanor, and he wanted to make a good impression on Takayanagi Ichiro.

"Since he has already said that there are still good magic tricks for us to look forward to, let's see what the next performance will be."

We might need to step in and help him out, because that would be the best way to interact with him offstage.

It's worth noting that Hoshikawa Tongwu hasn't uttered a single word since the start of the performance, which is enough to prove his acting style.

If someone in the audience interacts with Hoshikawa Tongwu in a very natural and engaging way, his performance will become even more captivating.

At this point on the stage, the previous props had been moved away, and a large water tank filled with water had been moved on.

This time, it wasn't done by a few pretty magician assistants, but rather by being pushed up by the staff.

At this moment, one of the beautiful female magician's assistants who was in charge of the scene spoke up.

"Okay, to bring today's performance to a perfect close, we'll now have a slightly dangerous underwater escape magic trick."

There are thick chains on the body of this huge water tank, and there is also a huge clock next to the tank, which makes it very clear to the audience how long the magician has been in the water.

Of course, there is also a large curtain that will be used to surround the water tank during the performance, and the magician Hoshikawa Tongwu has already climbed to the top of the water tank using a ladder.

Magician Hoshigawa Dogo's hands were bound by chains, and he also had a solid ball in his hand.

Once the lights shone on him, he showed the audience the predicament he was facing, and then immediately jumped into the water tank.

Hoshigawa Tongwu had a strong ability to control the water splashes and did not let any water splash out.

"If Mr. Xinghe, whose hands and feet are handcuffed, can successfully escape from the locked and sealed water tank, please give him a warm round of applause."

While the magician's assistant was explaining the current difficult situation, other assistants began to work on the water tank, and then pulled up the huge curtain to prevent the audience outside from seeing what was happening inside.

Next, the magician's assistant pressed the switch on the clock, starting the countdown.

"This magic trick looks quite interesting. If he can really escape, then I'd call him the number one magician."

"Calling him the number one magician is too much of an exaggeration; he is far from reaching the level of his teacher."

Besides Kaito Kid, there's another magician named Ichizo Sanada who's also gaining popularity.

"Anyway, the value of this magic show has been well demonstrated."

If the argument continued, it could easily escalate into a fight, which wasn't the purpose of their visit to see the magic show. So they quieted down and waited for time to pass.

Five minutes passed in the blink of an eye, but Hoshikawa Tongwu still didn't seem to have escaped from the water tank, because the blue curtain surrounding the tank hadn't been pulled back.

At this point, some people started discussing it again, believing that the magician Hoshikawa Dogo might encounter some danger.

Some people were already looking at both sides of the stage, wondering when the staff would set off.

Two minutes later, the beautiful magician's assistant on stage was starting to lose her composure. The two of them exchanged a glance, but neither of them had yet considered calling for reinforcements.

"Brother Gao Liu, is it perhaps time for us to interact with him?"

Yui Yamamura is a smart girl, and seeing this situation, she knew it was time to take action.

"He may have encountered some difficulties in the water tank, and it is best for us to go up at this time."

After Ichiro Takayanagi finished speaking, he got up and left his seat with the two girls, Shiori Yamamura and Yui Yamamura, and walked towards the stage.

The magician's assistant on stage finally couldn't take it anymore and began to instruct the safety personnel next to him.

Two staff members immediately came to the center of the stage and pulled back a corner of the blue curtain to look inside.

"Put the curtain down, and then bring the axe over."

The staff member seemed to be doing this on purpose so that the audience could hear him, so he shouted very loudly, which immediately sparked a debate in the audience.

"What? Could it be that something unexpected happened and Hoshikawa Tongwu is trapped inside the water tank?"

"We don't want to see any curtain, we want to see the scene behind the curtain."

"Yes, we came here to see a magic show, not to watch the curtain go up and down."

Some audience members were already excited, but they didn't act immediately because they saw Takayanagi Ichiro, Yamamura Shiori, and Yamamura Yui approaching the stage.

"These three guests, you cannot come here because there is an emergency. We hope you can understand."

The magician's assistant was caught off guard when Ichiro Takayanagi brought two high school girls onto the stage; they hadn't communicated with the audience outside the stage.

"These two girls with me are very worried about Mr. Xinghe's safety, so they asked me to come and check on him. You'd better cooperate with my operation."
