Abnormal Magician

Under Bai Ge's magnetic field adjustment, his driving skills were pushed to their peak.

As he drove, the Chevrolet Bai Ge was piloting was practically a metal slug in an electromagnetic railgun, almost achieving magnetic levitation.

All the buildings and streetlights along the road were assisting Bai Ge. The street was like a cannon barrel, allowing Bai Ge to use the magnetic force to ensure he wouldn't flip.

Bai Ge found the best shortcut and drove straight into a pedestrian street.

However, at both ends of the pedestrian street were automatic rising bollards.

"You're asking for death!"

"Raise the barriers!"

To stop the Chevrolet, the road barrier at the intersection ahead rose directly from the road, with police cars blocking the entire street horizontally behind it.

The barrier was like several steel front teeth; if the Chevrolet hit it at full speed, it would absolutely be destroyed and its occupants killed.

Yet, the Chevrolet didn't slow down at all, charging straight ahead.

The barrier could be remotely controlled. Bai Ge directly downloaded the same control command and with a light tap on his laptop, the barrier automatically lowered.

The police behind were stunned and quickly dodged to the sides.

The Chevrolet rammed into the horizontally parked police car and instantly flipped.

The rear of the car lifted high. Due to its extreme speed, the entire car spun around, but it ultimately landed on all four wheels and continued forward steadily.

With another miraculous flip, the police could only watch as Bai Ge sped away.

"What happened? Who lowered the barrier?"

"The equipment automatically changed the command."

The policeman frowned. Recalling the previous green light, he immediately realized the driver possessed superb electronic information technology.

"Turn off the control console and use manual barriers!"

Soon, Bai Ge found police cars blocking his path, using primitive tire shredders or manually activating rising bollards.

The Chevrolet charged through, completely ignoring the barriers. He dodged the rising bollards and drove over the tire shredders.

The sound of explosions and sparks flying could be heard as the tires blew out.

But the chassis remained stable, and it could even accelerate with blown tires!

The police were despairing; this was the most ferocious driver they had ever seen.

"We're almost there!" Shao Yuan reminded him from the passenger seat.

At this moment, Bai Ge controlled all surveillance in the entire district and quickly found the surveillance of Bai Ye's location.

"Malak's Magic Theater?" Bai Ge could only find the one at the intersection but couldn't hack into the theater itself because there was no external network monitoring inside.

"We can't drive straight there. We need to shake off our pursuers first, right?" Shao Yuan said.

Bai Ge nodded. Of course, he couldn't bring such a large group of police with him.

He sharply turned the steering wheel, weaving into a nearby parking lot.

At this time, Bai Ge discovered he was wanted in the police system.

Even the television station had dispatched vehicles to pursue him, and there was even a helicopter for live broadcasting.

Soon, he pulled up a channel on his computer, which was a live broadcast from a television station, tracking and reporting on a yellow Chevrolet speeding late at night.

"America, what a pain..."

They had to report on everything, and a car chase even had a helicopter following to film it, broadcasting a police-chase drama to the public.

Bai Ge shook his head and decisively hacked into the television station.

He connected to the live studio. Just as they were getting into the broadcast, the screen suddenly went black, and all equipment shut down.

"What's going on?"

"A power outage?"

"Why now..."

The power for the entire television station building suddenly tripped. Bai Ge controlled all the circuit breakers, plunging the station into darkness.

Not only that, but the street where the Chevrolet was located, along with the streetlights and buildings on both sides, also went dark.

"Beep, beep, beep..."

Wherever the car drove, the lights went out.

The road became extremely dim in the darkness.

"Why are we coming to the parking lot?" Shao Yuan asked.

At this moment, Bai Ge rushed into the parking lot and headed straight for a garage.

The garage door was opening automatically, as if welcoming him.

From a distance, the Chevrolet began to spin. Because the tires were scrap, sparks flew from all the skids.

With sparks flying all the way, it charged into the garage.

"You pack the stuff!"

As soon as Bai Ge finished speaking, he got out of the car. The moment he stepped out, the cameras in the garage were instantly disabled, as if crushed by some external force.

Shao Yuan, after closing the garage door casually, came down with their belongings and headed straight for the back door.

"Bai Ge, the door's locked!"

With police sirens wailing outside, Shao Yuan felt a mix of excitement and thrill.

Bai Ge strode over and pushed the locked door open with his hand.

The two of them rushed out of the garage, using the darkness of the widespread power outage to flee into the distance.

By the time they were gone, the police finally arrived and hastily surrounded the garage.

"Break down the door!"

After the police forced the garage door open, they saw the battered Chevrolet inside and shouted, "Come out!"

However, no one was inside the car. Upon realizing this, by the time they wanted to find anyone, Bai Ge and Shao Yuan were already far away.

"Did you get any footage of him?"

"No, all equipment within several blocks was jammed, just static. We can't tell if it was a hacker or electromagnetic interference for now."

"Did no one get a clear look?"

"He was too fast. I only caught a glimpse. He had a computer next to the steering wheel, and his face... it looked like Doraemon..."

"What Doraemon? Are you seeing things?"

The police were furious. The driver had displayed incredible technological prowess while also hacking into systems.

The worst part was that he got away. They hadn't even gotten a clear look at his face.

Bai Ge didn't care about speeding late at night or even being wanted.

After all, the car wasn't his. He had destroyed all the surveillance equipment and escaped amidst the massive power outage.

In fact, Bai Ge could have applied camouflage to his face on the spot.

The method was simple: using his brain hole, he could secrete paint and some gel to obscure his features.

He didn't have to worry about it being permanent; to return to normal, he could simply retract the paint back into his brain hole.

Just now, to avoid being seen, his entire face was covered in blue and white paint, making him look like a blue and white cat-faced Doraemon.

When escaping the garage, he had removed the makeup and returned to his normal appearance.

"Bang!"

Inside Malak's Magic Theater, a show was in progress. Bai Ge pushed open the door behind the audience seating.

Except for a few individuals who noticed his intrusion, the rest of the audience was intently focused on the performance on stage.

Bai Ge quickly scanned the entire venue, sharing the information with Bell, and soon found Bai Ye.

"Ninth seat from the left in the fifth row," Bell said.

Seeing his sister engrossed in the show, Bai Ge breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed there were no immediate problems.

"We might be being a bit too cautious. Although Bai Ye is close to the containment item, she doesn't seem to be in any danger," Shao Yuan remarked.

Bai Ge didn't commit to an answer and took out his phone to look at the containment item map.

The red dot was very close to them, seemingly on stage.

And on stage, a magician wearing a mask was performing.

Bai Ge shifted his attention to the stage, and his expression immediately turned serious.

The magician's performance was astonishing. He placed a flashlight on a table.

Immediately, a beam of light stretched across in front of him.

He first moved his hands back and forth within the beam, even playing with shadow puppets, casting various animal shapes with his hands onto the side curtain.

As if to further convince everyone that there were no hidden steel wires within the beam, he walked from behind the beam to in front of it, and then back again.

Just then, the magician suddenly crouched down and then leaped up.

The audience erupted in applause. The magician had jumped onto the beam of light, which, like a solid bar, supported his weight.

The magician smiled, stepped onto the light, and walked several steps along the direction of the beam, as if walking on a tightrope.

"OMG!"

"Incredible!"

The audience was incredibly excited and applauded wildly.

However, the magic wasn't over. Standing on the beam, a transparent glass water tank was pushed onto the stage by an assistant.

The magician leaped up, stepped directly onto the surface of the water, then crouched down and put his hands into the tank to wash them.

After standing up, he began to dance on the water's surface, which rippled as if struck.

Afterward, he even had his assistant push forward a carpet. There was nothing on the carpet, and then the assistant actually set the carpet on fire, creating flames over a foot high.

Finally, the magician gathered his strength over the water and leaped directly onto the burning carpet.

It was as if he stepped on something in the flames, performing a second jump before finally landing on the ground.

He spread his arms, enjoying the thunderous applause, with countless people cheering for him.

Bai Ge looked strange and exchanged a glance with Shao Yuan.

Shao Yuan said, "Is this magic, or a containment item? Perhaps there's a steel wire hidden in the props?"

Bai Ge shook his head and said, "There was nothing. He stepped on a beam of light, the water, and the flames... He really stepped on them. When he jumped onto the flames, I clearly saw the flames being suppressed a bit."

Whether there were steel wires or not, Bai Ge's magnetic field could detect them. Unless it was some special material, this was definitely not magic.

But since the containment item map showed a red dot here, it was almost certainly a supernatural characteristic.

Shao Yuan trusted Bai Ge unconditionally and nodded, "Should we make a move?"

Bai Ge looked at his sister's location and said, "No, Bai Ye is here. I'll send her away first..."

"I can accept the magician stepping on water and fire, but him being able to step on light... that's too incredible."

"At best, he just has a levitation ability... If he can truly step on light, then he could very well kick light away, disrupting vision and electromagnetic waves."

"Even... light could provide him with a force of action!"

"Really... using a containment item for magic tricks? What were they thinking?"

p.s.: Weddings are so annoying, so much trouble. If only someone else could get married for me.
