Unscientific Magic
"Oh!!"
When the Great Magician Zatara appeared, the entire stage and venue erupted in a clamor, and the atmosphere became incredibly lively and intense.
The crowd of over ten thousand people erupted in cheers and excitement. A thunderous, fiery sound wave reverberated around Ba Di, creating a feeling that throbbed the heart, infecting everyone and making them want to join in the celebration.
It was as if a passionate spiritual transmission was spreading through everyone's hearts.
Ba Di was immersed in it, and the feeling was particularly profound. His body was sensitive to the intense heat emanating from the people around him, and the waves of heat were transmitted to his skin, making him feel the heat and their excitement.
Even Mike couldn't help but look on with anticipation, excitement, and a hint of fervor.
Ba Di's calm gaze swept over the people around him. The place seemed to be ablaze with excitement, everyone's eyes radiating heat, but he alone was a block of ice, standing out from the crowd.
Herd mentality, conformity with the environment, plus some unknown kind of magic?
Ba Di didn't know what it was, and even suspected it was an illusion, but in the end he felt that Zatara had done something, or guided the spiritual direction of these people.
It might be a type of magic, a kind of guided magic.
After all, Ba Di knew absolutely nothing about magic, but with his powerful senses, he could detect the unusual reactions of the crowd.
"Welcome, my friend. For the first magic show, what would you like to see?"
Zatara bowed gracefully, his short magic wand twirling nimbly and effortlessly in his hands.
When he first said "Welcome," he looked at Ba Di's position with a smile and met Ba Di's gaze. He was clearly aware that Ba Di was staring at him with unusual eyes.
He faced it with a calm and composed smile.
Ba Di's calm and composed expression contrasted sharply with the heated atmosphere around him. He met Zatara's gaze, nodded slightly, and smiled apologetically.
Now that he had discovered it, he made no attempt to hide it, focusing his gaze even more intently on Zatara, though he had already withdrawn his Penetrating Sight, making it impossible to see Penetrating Sight him.
"Walking on Air!"
"Cosmic Star Sea!"
"Enter the Videotape!"
"Body Separation!"
"Teleportation!"
Some audience members cheered loudly, shouting out their favorite magic tricks. As more and more people joined in, the cheers grew even louder.
This didn't feel like a magic show at all; it was more like a concert.
"In that case, let's do them all."
Zatara's words caused the entire venue to erupt in cheers again, as they were able to fully witness their favorite magic show.
The cheers didn't last long and soon quieted down. In the hall of more than 10,000 people, only those holding their breath and staring intently at Zatara remained.
Zatara enjoyed the attention, smiling as she turned around. The hem of her tuxedo billowed as she twirled her short wand even faster and more nimbly.
"Then let's... Teleportation!"
After Zatara finished speaking, she threw the short stick wand in her hand upwards, and the short stick spun in the air like an electric fan.
Nobody pays attention to how fast the stick flies.
All eyes were on Zatara.
Even Ba Di held his breath and waited, activating his Penetrating Sight and Microscopic Sight again, wanting to see clearly how Zatara was casting her magic.
In Ba Di's eyes, everyone in the venue had become transparent silhouettes, and only Zatara's thin, elegant figure could be seen.
Magic protected him from Ba Di's spying.
Suddenly.
Zatara's body disappeared in the center of the stage, and the air rippled slightly, forming an invisible passage. It was conceivable that the power of magic had taken effect. The air ripples were just slight side effects, and Ba Di could not see any trace of the magic at all. This invisible passage stretched out in front of Ba Di.
It's like a fighter jet breaking the sound barrier and piercing an invisible hole in the sky.
Zatara's figure appeared in front of Ba Di in an instant, hovering high in the air.
It wasn't a wormhole, nor was it the opening of a wormhole. The physics were illogical, which puzzled people and made Ba Di frown. Magic, what an unscientific thing! Zatara smiled. He stood in the air as if walking on flat ground, crouching down, his smile revealing his teeth, and he stretched out his palm with a hint of joy.
"High five!"
He spoke to Ba Di with a smile, and even a hint of excitement. At this moment, he didn't seem like a Great Magician, but rather like a like-minded, transcendent fellow traveler, laughing happily at the sight of something new.
The entire venue was instantly filled with people searching for him after his disappearance, and then excited when he suddenly reappeared in front of Ba Di.
This was incredibly fast, almost like Teleportation, leaving people in awe.
Ba Di's gaze narrowed, becoming stern. When he saw Zatara in the distance, he didn't feel much of a threat.
But now that Zatara was in front of him, he instantly felt a dangerous reaction in his body. Goosebumps appeared on his skin, and his cells were violently agitated and trying to resist.
It felt like a knife tip was at your neck, the cold glint of which threatened to slit your throat at any moment.
His body naturally resisted Zatara, and the magical power within Zatara's body.
Ba Di met Zatara's gaze with a sharp look, his eyes brimming with confidence and curiosity, while Zatala looked at Ba Di with an excited smile.
With a calm expression, Ba Di withdrew his Microscopic Sight, Penetrating Sight, and stretched out his palm, pushing it towards Zatara's hand.
'smack'
Amidst the envy of over ten thousand people, he gave the Great Magician Zatara a high five.
When the two palms collided, Ba Di clearly felt the power in his palms being suppressed, his cells being suppressed like a flood, feeling much more suffocated, but he was not without the ability to resist.
This feeling is much better than with Kryptonite. He might have room to resist magic, and there is no such thing as zero magic resistance, as is Legends.
Then, Zatara Teleportation back to the center of the stage, caught the short wand that was spinning down, and then spun it up into the air. Teleportation in multiple directions continuously, sometimes high-fiving the audience, sometimes walking in the air with the little girl, eliciting gasps from the crowd.
Then came a series of the Cosmic Star Sea that made the audience feel as if they were in the universe; Enter the Videotape and seemingly communicating with the people inside; the thrilling effect of Body Separation, and a series of other amazing and incredible magic performances that left the audience in awe.
As he was leaving, Ba Di noticed an even more intense fluctuation than at the beginning, and he became acutely aware of the fluctuations in his own mind, as if it were a reminder that this was indeed a magic trick.
This is a subconscious manipulation, leading others to believe that this is magic.
Ba Di felt increasingly threatened.
He had absolutely no way to stop this intrusion of his emotions, and only realized it when his own emotions were fluctuating.
This kind of Mind Magic magic made him wary.
He and Mike followed the crowd out the door.
"What a wonderful magic show!"
Mike said with lingering enthusiasm, his eyes filled with admiration.
Ba Di's heart sank even further. That subconscious Mind Magic had begun to influence Mike, making him believe it really was a magic show.
But before they arrived, Ba Di had already warned Mike that what they needed to find was magic.
Even so, Mike was deeply affected by it.
Magic is so mysterious and wondrous.
This is really not scientific.
