Delta Operation: Big Red Objects Mutate

"What magic tricks are you going to perform tonight? Don't keep showing the same few tricks over and over again, the guys are tired of it."

The soldiers opened their backpacks and emptied out the miscellaneous items inside.

Many soldiers also had special items in their backpacks.

The extras were given to Liu Yan, while the ones they could actually use were kept by Liu Yan for themselves.

Buzz——————!

Ivan turned on the powerful vacuum cleaner and took all the debris into it.

"Thank you so much, my dear brothers!!!"

"Don't worry about the magic part, everyone. I'll perform magic for you all in a bit!"

Chapter 249 Magic

"Boss, we didn't find the Heart of Africa over there." Number 66666 stepped forward, looking somewhat guilty.

"It's alright, this is all about luck anyway." Liu Yan waved his hand, not taking it to heart.

"Everyone has had a busy day, let's rest first, and we'll head to Little Eagle Country early tomorrow morning."

After Liu Yan finished speaking, soldier number 66666 nodded and stepped back.

The remaining soldiers gradually dispersed, some gathering in groups to chat about their experiences in different countries over the years.

Some people exchange devices to experience each other's devices.

Some people also gathered together to play cards.

Ivan was standing in the middle of the area surrounded by the most soldiers.

At this moment, Ivan was wearing a magician's hat and a long robe, looking at everyone with a mysterious expression.

"Look at this deck of cards in my hand."

“Just pick one out at random, take a look at it yourself, and then put it back.”

Ivan handed a deck of cards to one of the soldiers.

"This one will do."

The soldier randomly picked up a playing card, glanced at it, and saw it was a 7 of diamonds.

After reading it, the soldier, following Ivan's instructions, put the playing cards back.

"I didn't see the cards, right?"

As Ivan shuffled the cards, he looked at the soldiers and asked them a question.

“Yes,” the soldiers said, looking intently at the playing cards in Ivan’s hand.

“Okay, everyone knows how many cards are in a deck of cards, right?” Ivan continued.

Throughout the questioning, Ivan was rapidly cutting cards.

"54, but there are no Kings or Queens in the action area, so it's 52. Hey Ivan, are you trying to pull some tricks again?"

"That's right, I know what your next question will be."

The probability that you could have picked that card is 1 in 52.

"So can we show it to you right away?"

The soldiers urged them on silently.

When they first saw Ivan perform magic, they actually answered these questions honestly.

But after Liu Yan reminded them, they realized it too.

These questions from magicians may be genuine or fake, but most of them are simply designed to attract the audience's attention.

It makes it easier to use some tricks.

"Can you tell what he's going to do this time?"

Cai Ning nudged Liu Yan, then looked at Ivan in the center of the crowd with equal curiosity.

"Hmm..." Liu Yan rubbed his chin.

"I don't know what he's going to do, but I do know the card that soldier just chose."

"Really?" Cai Ning looked at Liu Yan with a suspicious expression.

Liu Yan smiled and nodded.

"7 of Diamonds".

Cai Ning glanced in Ivan's direction; the other party had not yet revealed the answer.

Then he glanced at Liu Yan.

"I don't believe you. How do you know?"

"From our position, you can't see the soldiers selecting cards. Even if you have excellent eyesight, it's impossible."

Liu Yan smiled and shook his head, pointing in Ivan's direction.

The two men were positioned diagonally behind Ivan.

Their perspective was almost identical to Ivan's, so when the soldiers were choosing cards, they only saw the back of the cards.

"Although I can't see what cards the soldiers are holding, I can see the cards in Ivan's hand."

"His hand was all 7s of diamonds."

Upon hearing Liu Yan's answer, Cai Ning's eyes widened even further.

All sevens of diamonds? Then no matter what the soldiers choose, Ivan will easily know the answer, right?

"Isn't this a lie?" Cai Ning exclaimed in shock.

"A magician, not a sorcerer, but his methods this time were indeed a bit too low-level, unlike his usual style."

Liu Yan's eyes remained fixed on Ivan, never looking away.

"Just now, when he was asking questions and cutting the deck, he was constantly replacing all the 7s of diamonds with a normal deck."

"This will prevent the soldiers from demanding to check the badges after the event."

Soon, Ivan stopped cutting the cards.

"The answer is about to be revealed."

Ivan revealed a wicked smile, slowly removed his magician's hat, reached inside, and pulled out another deck of cards.

Ivan held the two decks of cards in his two hands.

Then, he applied slight pressure with his hand, and the two decks of cards bent slightly.

*Slap slap slap slap slap slap*

In an instant, all the playing cards were sent flying into the air by him.

And the number is increasing!

Even though he only had two decks of cards in his hand, there were at least a dozen decks of cards flying into the sky!

Although the scene was spectacular, the soldiers still rolled their eyes.

"So what were the numbers and suits of those playing cards?"

"Exactly, why did they suddenly pull this stunt?"

The soldiers were very puzzled.

But Ivan still wore a confident smile.

Soon, the sky was covered with countless playing cards.

The playing cards, obscuring everyone's view, were slowly descending.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the performance has ended."

As the playing cards all landed, the soldiers' faces were filled with shock!

At this moment, on the walls of the dilapidated buildings on both sides.

The densely packed, colorful playing cards were pieced together to form a complete 7 of diamonds.

Moreover, it wasn't just one; the seven of diamonds could be found on the walls of almost every abandoned building in the vicinity.

Snap snap snap snap ——————

The soldiers, who had just been staring blankly, now widened their eyes and began to applaud wildly.

"Holy crap! How did they manage that?!"

"I thought Ivan had performed almost all the magic tricks he could."

"I never expected they had such a hidden gem!"

"This is amazing! This really is magic!"

"Brother Ivan, you wouldn't have used the Heart of Africa, would you?"

Before Ivan performed his magic trick, there was nothing on those buildings.

With only the playing cards obscuring their view, these playing cards appeared out of thin air in everyone's sight.

Liu Yan and Cai Ning, who were behind them, also looked surprised.

"How...how did they do that? It can't really be magic, can it?"

"Moreover, apart from the Heart of Africa, I've thought about it and realized that no matter how you combine special items, you can't achieve the same effect."

"Unless he has tens of thousands of drones."

Cai Ning looked at Liu Yan curiously, hoping the latter could provide an answer.

In the past, Liu Yan could more or less guess how Ivan did his magic tricks.

After the surprise on Liu Yan's face disappeared, his expression turned into one of sudden realization.

"No wonder he was carrying two buckets of paint and sneaking into those abandoned buildings a couple of days ago."

"If I'm not mistaken."

"These playing cards were either painted on and pasted on beforehand, or prepared in advance through other means."

"I haven't seen him much these past two days, he must be preparing for this magic show."

Upon hearing Liu Yan's explanation, Cai Ning scratched his head, still feeling that something was amiss.

"If he pasted it on beforehand, how did he manage to hide it?"

After Cai Ning asked the question, Liu Yan looked up at the sky and then pointed in several directions.

"The curtain that's blocking the view should be on the rooftops of those buildings."

"Use playing cards to block everyone's view, and then use military drones to tear down all the curtains and hide them on the roof."

"After it was over, the playing cards landed on the ground."

"Now that everyone's vision has been restored, they can see the 7th square of the building complex."

Chapter 250: The whole group sets off, heading for the Little Eagle Nation!

Seeing the soldiers cheering and jumping for joy, Ivan felt a great sense of satisfaction.

This is a magic trick performed in front of hundreds of thousands of people.

The outcome was so successful; all his hard work and preparation over the past few days was worthwhile.

"Alright, everyone, stop crowding around me. This magic trick is my trump card, and I won't reveal it easily!"

Seeing that Ivan had no intention of revealing the magic trick he was using,

The soldiers could only disperse, still not quite finished, and then gather in a circle to the side to continue their discussion.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Liu Yan spoke in Ivan's direction.
