My life in the underworld begins at the Takayanagi family!

Chapter 614 The Magic Principle Has Been Exposed

Takayanagi Ichiro's number failed to convince the magic assistant, but when he tried to stop Takayanagi Ichiro, he discovered that Takayanagi Ichiro was actually with two women, and the high school student easily broke through his encirclement.

"Yes, we need someone to go up and see what's going on in our place."

"If we can't even find out a little bit about what's going on inside, then we've wasted our money buying these tickets."

"If you really want to hit people, we will definitely go up and support them."

At this moment, the audience immediately spoke up to support Takayanagi Ichiro and the others, believing that they were the ones with the most genuine reaction and that they acted faster than the others.

Just as the magicians' assistants on both sides were about to surround them, Ichiro Takayanagi told them the name Huchini.

Upon hearing this, the magician's assistants immediately fell silent. They hadn't expected that someone in the audience would recognize the name, which suggested that it was likely due to an interaction with Hoshikawa Dogo.

The two staff members in blue who had been shouting for an axe and to pull back the curtain turned around immediately to stop Takayanagi Ichiro when they saw him approaching the water tank.

However, Takayanagi Ichiro easily blocked the punches that the two of them swung at him, and with a little force, the two of them staggered and fell.

Takayanagi Ichiro's fighting prowess exceeded everyone's expectations. Whether it was the staff on stage or the audience below, they all thought Takayanagi Ichiro was incredibly cool.

If they had that kind of fighting ability, they might have already been on stage.

"If the magician Hoshikawa Dogo really encountered any accident inside, this would be blatant murder, so..."

As Takayanagi Ichiro spoke, he prepared to pull back the curtain to see what was inside.

But at that moment, the curtain began to shake on its own, and then it opened to the left and right.

What appeared before everyone was a man soaking wet. Instead of standing, he sat greedily on the edge of the water tank, panting as if he had just escaped from it.

Of course, he didn't maintain that posture for long. He quickly tried to stand up, and the magician's assistant handed the headset to Hoshigawa Dogo.

Xinghe Tongwu didn't put on the headset; he just placed it close to his ear.

"I finally escaped successfully! Okay, please give a round of applause to my good fortune and to these three incredibly courageous audience members who brought the performance to a climax, okay?"

Hoshikawa Dogo was slightly out of breath while speaking, but he immediately pointed at Takayanagi Ichiro and the other two, letting them steal the spotlight, and the stage lights shone on the three of them at that moment.

The magician's assistant on stage was the first to applaud, and the audience below the stage continued to applaud.

Because of the intervention of outsiders, this magic performance was full of twists and turns for them to watch.

Furthermore, Takayanagi Ichiro and the others showed no signs of being planted, which is enough to show that they were genuinely concerned about the magician Hoshikawa Dogo's health when they went on stage.

Shiori Yamamura and Yui Yamamura were both a little stunned. They hadn't expected to be treated this way. However, the stalemate didn't last long because Ichiro Takayanagi was right next to them and naturally waved to the audience.

This water tank escape magic trick was the last magic trick of the day, so after the curtain was lowered, Hoshikawa Dogo invited Takayanagi Ichiro and others to his dressing room.

"Thank you so much for your help with the performance. If you hadn't come on stage, the impact of my performance would have been greatly diminished."

In the lounge, it wasn't Shiori Yamamura and Yui Yamamura who apologized to Dogo Hoshigawa, but rather Dogo Hoshigawa who took the initiative to express his gratitude to the three of them.

The reason he greeted Takayanagi Ichiro's people after the cage escape act was because he thought they were special people who might understand his meaning.

However, he hadn't discussed this with his magic assistant, so he hadn't been able to get the atmosphere for them to go on stage yet, and he could only continue to wait.

Of course, he wasn't waiting inside the water tank; he had already escaped from it long ago.

The panting that followed was perfectly in line with the atmosphere at the time.

“We didn’t understand that meaning at all; it was Brother Gao Liu who led us onto the stage.”

"Mr. Xinghe, could you tell us the key points of your water tank escape magic trick?"

Shiori Yamamura and Yui Yamamura never attributed this function to themselves, but rather said that it was entirely a choice made by Ichiro Takayanagi's school.

If Hoshigawa Dogo is to express gratitude, then he should thank Takayanagi Ichiro.

Moreover, Shiori Yamamura and Yui Yamamura weren't without requests; they planned to inquire about the escape principle behind this water tank magic trick.

Because of time constraints, Ichiro Takayanagi did not give them a full explanation.

"Ladies, the principles of magic are the methods by which magicians survive and must be kept secret, so Mr. Xinghe cannot answer your questions."

A beautiful magician's assistant remained in the lounge, but immediately refused after hearing Yamamura Shiori and Yamamura Yui's request.

Because he was right, a magician's techniques are his livelihood and cannot be revealed casually.

If someone spreads the word, then there's little to look forward to in the magician's next performance.

Unable to get a corresponding answer from Hoshikawa Dogo, Yamamura Shiori and Yamamura Yui were not angry. Instead, they looked at Takayanagi Ichiro.

"Brother Gao Liu, could you explain the principle behind this magic trick to us?"

"Could it be that Mr. Takayanagi is also quite skilled in magic?"

Hoshikawa Dogo was a little surprised. He had originally planned to explain the principle of the water tank escape magic to Yamamura Shiori and Yamamura Yui after the magician Zhu Ni left. He didn't expect that the two high school girls would ask Takayanagi Ichiro about this man.

"Brother Gao Liu is definitely one of the most skilled. He explained the principles behind the magic tricks he performed on Mr. Xinghe to us, for example..."

Although Hoshikawa Dogo did not intend to doubt Takayanagi Ichiro, he also did not believe that Takayanagi Ichiro could solve all his magic principles.

This made Shiori Yamamura a little uncomfortable, so she briefly repeated what Ichiro Takayanagi had told them before.

Although it wasn't in great detail, these words explained the principles behind the magic tricks performed by Hoshikawa Dogo.

If this magic were to spread, many people would be able to perform Hoshigawa Tongwu's magic tricks.

Chapter 615 The Three Disciples of Master Zhengying

"Why don't you go outside for a bit?"

Hoshikawa Dogo knew that the magician's assistant was thinking of him, but if he continued to stay here and argue with Yamamura Shiori and Yamamura Yui, Hoshikawa Dogo himself would likely be the one to get hurt in the end.

So now I'm asking the magician's assistant to leave this lounge so I can talk and communicate with Ichiro Takayanagi and the others.

After hearing Hoshikawa Dogo's words, the magician's assistant was not angry. He nodded and left, but before leaving, he took a deep look at Takayanagi Ichiro and the other two.

These three people collaborated with Hoshikawa Tongwu and can be considered the heroes of this performance.

However, it's really strange that Takayanagi Ichiro saw through the magic trick at a glance. Could it be that he was sent by the opponent?

"I'm really sorry, he was just worried that my magic tricks would be leaked, he didn't mean any harm."

Hoshikawa Dogo could sense that Takayanagi Ichiro could indeed see through the principles behind all his magic tricks.

Furthermore, since neither Shiori Yamamura nor Yui Yamamura intended to go out and publicize or show off, he had nothing to worry about.

"Brother Gao Liu, could you tell us the principle behind that water tank escape magic trick?"

Shiori Yamamura and Yui Yamamura ignored Hoshigawa Dogo and instead continued to look at Ichiro Takayanagi. They were still unaware of the principle behind the water tank escape magic.

"The magician's handcuff key should be in the water. After entering the water, he holds the key in his mouth and opens the handcuffs. This skill is very easy for a magician to do."

Takayanagi Ichiro was the first to explain how to open the handcuffs. After hearing this, Yamamura Shiori and Yamamura Yui looked at Hoshigawa Dogo.

The fact that Hoshigawa Dogo didn't seem to have any intention of refuting it meant that Takayanagi Ichiro was right.

"Then how did he get it out of the box? You know, the entire lid of the box was locked."

Removing the handcuffs was indeed a good idea, but how could they escape from the locked box?

"Actually, the box you see with the lid locked makes you think it's a single unit, but it's actually divided into four equal parts."

One of the corner covers could be opened, and that's how the magician emerged.

After hearing what Ichiro Takayanagi said, Shiori Yamamura and Yui Yamamura recalled the magic performance and indeed found that the chain divided the magician's water tank lid into four equal parts.

clap clap.

Just then, someone pushed the door open and came in while clapping. It was a man wearing sunglasses and smoking a cigar.

The fact that he could enter Hoshikawa Dogo's rest room so easily suggests that he and Hoshikawa Dogo are likely acquainted.

"How about it, Xinghe? How about we collaborate on a magic show for two next time?"

The man immediately invited Hoshikawa Tongwu to perform a magic show with him, and Hoshikawa Tongwu did not refuse.

"Sure, if you don't mind."

"Oh, that's great, because you're very popular."

Even after seeing that there were high school girls in the lounge, the man showed no intention of putting out his cigarette. After speaking, he tried to push up his glasses with his left pinky.

"If you're going to do a magic show together, can I join in?"

Just then, another girl appeared in the room, stepping out from behind the man in sunglasses.

She reached out and snatched the cigar from the sunglasses-wearing man's mouth, then rubbed it inside her phone, and it turned into a rose.

"We can also take this opportunity to figure out which of the three of us is the rightful successor to the Master of the True Shadow."

The woman performed a small magic trick, and based on what she said, it can be deduced that the three of them should be from the same school, and that they also have a bit of a competitive spirit among themselves.

"Master Zheng Ying?"

Shiori Yamamura and Yui Yamamura don't know much about magic, but they think Ichiro Takayanagi is a very powerful person and might know who Master Seikage is.

"I can see through some of the techniques and principles of magic, but I don't know much about the different schools of magicians."

Takayanagi Ichiro isn't omnipotent. If Hoshikawa Dogo's master is a very powerful being, or if Hoshikawa Dogo and his two companions are very powerful themselves, then Takayanagi Ichiro might be a little interested.

"Master Zhengying was our teacher. He used to frequently appear on television and perform live, but he suddenly disappeared ten years ago. He is a legendary magician full of mystery."

Of course, I believe the teacher was just going out to find inspiration because there were some things she couldn't figure out.

We magicians are sometimes similar to writers; we both need to go out and gather inspiration.

At this moment, Hoshikawa Tongwu directly talked about some things concerning Master Zhengying, and believed that his teacher was still alive.

"Since the three of us are going to perform together, why don't we have Xinghe find Sanada Ichizo, whose popularity isn't comparable to yours, and put on a dreamlike Four Heavenly Kings magic show?"

Mo Jinlai then made an even more radical suggestion: to contact other magicians and have a magic duel.

Moreover, they were a group of three, brothers and sisters, competing together, while the opponent was a lone individual; it was clear that they would win.

"I don't care." The woman with the dark blue curly hair gave an indifferent expression, believing that she truly deserved to be one of the Four Heavenly Kings.

"That's a good suggestion, but I don't know if the other party will agree."
