"Now, if Liu eats just one clove of garlic, all the stains on his body will be completely removed!"
After saying that, Li Lechen handed the garlic to Liu Yu.
"Why?" Liu Yu asked.
"Without asking why, isn't this the basic 'ethics' that every magician should have?" Li Lechen retorted.
It seems, perhaps, or maybe, although there is no accurate statement, magicians' signature skills are indeed strictly kept secret, after all, once revealed, they may become worthless—including Liu Yu's specialty of producing juice from an empty glass.
But the question is, what does this have to do with eating garlic? And why eat a whole one?
Li Lechen then began his nonsensical explanation with a straight face: "Garlic has a strong bactericidal and disinfectant effect. If you eat it, it will help me remove the impurities from your body when I perform the ritual later."
"......"
Liu Yu was even more confused.
“If you don’t eat, this can’t continue.” Li Lechen shrugged. “Then I’ll just have to pick myself up.”
After speaking, Li Lechen stretched out his hands, actually opening the live streaming platform, selecting his personal items, taking out a "lazy person's cleaning agent," and making a frame out of thin air, which was actually defining his own position.
The suggestion is wasteful, since there is less than one cubic meter of area that needs to be cleaned.
But that's enough.
"Now, I hope everyone won't blink, because—"
After saying that, Li Lechen suddenly opened his arms and shouted, "Because this way you can witness a miracle!"
The field fell silent instantly.
A few seconds later, thunderous applause erupted.
Everyone who witnessed it saw the stain of juice on Li Lechen's chest—the entire glass had been spilled, leaving more than just a few spots. But now, in the blink of an eye, Li Lechen's chest was completely clean.
This isn't cleaning stains, it's more like they just changed into the exact same clothes!
Liu Yu immediately made the same judgment.
Changing clothes in a flash is a common performance in the magic world. However, successfully doing it in front of an audience on all sides still surprised Liu Yu.
After finishing her performance and accepting everyone's applause, Li Lechen prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute!" Liu Yu called out again.
"Um?"
"If I don't eat garlic, you can't perform. But if I do eat it, can you perform a show that makes me instantly clean too?"
"Hmm~~"
"Okay! I'll eat it!"
Liu Yu faced death without fear.
He's a boy with a scientific spirit. Even if he knows that the so-called "eating garlic" has nothing to do with magic, he will definitely eat it in order to see the master perform amazing magic on him.
"Ugh!"
After taking a bite of garlic, Liu Yu felt like vomiting.
Although I usually eat minced garlic, mashing it and using it as a condiment is a completely different level of torture compared to biting into it directly like this.
Eating wasabi directly doesn't really give you that feeling.
Sure enough, tears started flowing uncontrollably.
"You have to finish the whole thing, otherwise it won't have any effect," Li Lechen continued, spouting nonsense with a straight face. And after saying it so many times, even Li Lechen himself started to believe it.
Moreover, just two minutes ago he did perform a high-level magic trick that shocked the audience.
Liu Yu knew he was being tricked, but since he had already decided to take the first bite, he was determined to finish the whole garlic clove.
He couldn't believe it. He couldn't believe that he, Li Lechen, could clean himself up instantly, even though he was covered in food and his underwear was greasy.
Without prior planning, sophisticated props, and even a group of well-coordinated audience members, the desired effect would be impossible to achieve.
That's right. Many of the large-scale magic shows you see on TV are nothing more than a group of actors deceiving themselves in front of a camera.
However, it's really hard to eat garlic one bite after another.
"How about you have a sip of a drink to go with it?"
Li Lechen very "thoughtfully" handed Liu Yu a glass of juice that he had conjured up himself, adding in a sinister tone, "Maybe there isn't a single drop of juice in this, but it's still a 'liquid,' so it can at least provide some relief."
Although Liu Yu never drinks beverages, he was genuinely stung by the spiciness of that clove of garlic, so he reached out to take the cup back.
"Smack!"
The cup fell to the ground.
The juice in the cup was poured down Liu Yu's neck.
"you......"
"This is because you made Luo Li fall down."
Li Lechen leaned close to Liu Yu's ear and said, word by word.
Then, Li Lechen flashed eight teeth and gave a standard smile to the students watching, saying, "Now, Liu Yu is really in a sorry state. You could say he's covered in these things from head to toe, inside and out. And I'm going to make them all disappear in an instant!"
"Whoosh—"
Thunderous applause erupted again, followed by even louder screams.
Everyone assumed this was a planned collaboration. Otherwise, how could they be throwing drinks at each other and then getting food all over each other, and then both of them standing there calmly?
It was so exciting to be able to watch such a wonderful magic show while having a meal.
Even many teachers came down from the second-floor staff canteen and stood on the stairs, where they could see the performance from above.
Many students even took out their phones to take pictures.
However, during the show, the person suffering the most is Liu Yu, who has only eaten one bite of garlic. He can't bring himself to eat the remaining half of the garlic.
