Chapter 206: Chapter 33 Magic Show Begins

Moon Spirit Theater.

Beneath the shroud of night and falling snow, the theater was ablaze with lights.

Rows of Christmas trees were neatly arranged inside and outside the theater, and on the massive banner hanging outside, spanning dozens of meters, was Raymond Harland himself.

Dressed in a black trenchcoat, a gray scarf wrapped around his neck, and red gloves on his hands, Yin Wuque gazed up at the poster.

In winter, he always wore this attire.

No one would know that the scarf and gloves had actually been knitted for him by Wei Shirling.

In the past, she had performed violin solos in such large theaters. Back then, she had large banners like this one.

At that time, Yin Wuque was just a moderately famous pianist. Although their fame differed greatly, he and Wei Shirling shared a common belief—music.

He wasn’t cold at all.

But he still wore the scarf and gloves. A violinist had spent months knitting them for him.

"Wuque, one day, we’ll play together on the same stage. Then, we can appear on the same poster," she had said.

"Alright, Shirling. We won’t go public with our relationship until that dream is fulfilled," he promised.

Yin Wuque picked up a can of warm coffee and, remarkably, managed to pop it open with his gloved hands, taking a sip.

"I didn’t expect Principal Yin to drink canned coffee," Song Min approached slowly from behind, "it’s quite surprising."

"Putting on airs at every opportunity, that’s the pretentiousness of upstarts imitating the grimace of Eastern Shi," Yin Wuque didn’t even turn his head, taking another sip of his coffee, "Director Song, are you certain Dai Lin has met up with the target?"

"Dai Lin, Lu Yuqing, Fang Zhou, and the target met up in the subway station ten minutes ago. Using the credit bureau to track Dai Lin was unexpectedly effective. He’s not very guarded against ordinary humans."

"Only Fang Zhou, no Li Bolin? That doesn’t sound like Han Ming’s style."

"Maybe Han Ming isn’t involved."

"Now that would be good news... but I still think it’s best not to be too optimistic," he pondered.

Yin Wuque finished his coffee and nonchalantly tossed the can towards a trash bin about ten meters behind him—as if by magic, it landed right in the bin!

"Then why... did you order not to capture the target immediately?"

"Premonitory dreams... and your part of the future diary, both are enough proof that this isn’t an ordinary magic show. Since the enemy is already in the net, I want to know their purpose in watching this magic show."

Then, Yin Wuque noticed a couple flirting on the roadside.

Pointing to the couple, he remarked, "There’s a ghost following that man."

"It seems like the ghost of a baby," Song Min also noticed immediately, "Seems there’s quite a sad story behind them."

Yin Wuque held out his hand and suddenly there was an additional wallet in it!

At that moment, the man in the couple patted his stomach.

"What’s wrong?" his girlfriend asked.

"My bones felt weirdly painful just now... but it’s gone," he replied.

Then, Yin Wuque opened the wallet and immediately saw an ID and driver’s license, saying, "Chen Lian, 25 years old, from D city."

The photo on the IDs was unmistakably that of the man in the couple!

Taking the wallet, Song Min examined it and then blinked, commenting, "In a month, he will dump his cheating partner who aborted for him and marry this girl."

Knowing their appearance, name, and birthdate, and since he was just an ordinary human, Song Min could see even further into his future, of course with less detail the further she went. There wasn’t even a need to peel the skin to investigate.

"Disgusting," Yin Wuque said as he threw the wallet towards the trash bin behind him, "Take care of it."

"Is it necessary... He’s only an ordinary human."

"On Christmas Eve, I want to be in a good mood. Scumbags who don’t cherish the person by their side are better off not existing."

"Alright then."

Song Min raised a finger, pricked the skin slightly, then wrote a few words at an astonishing speed.

Minutes later, the man suddenly knelt down, hugging the woman and cried out, "I... I shouldn’t have cheated, let alone get her pregnant... I... I made her get an abortion..."

Yin Wuque and Song Min headed towards the theater, both donning their masks as they went.

Cries and cursing, along with the bustling noise of gathering crowds, continued to emanate from behind them.

"The joys and sorrows of others truly do not interconnect," Yin Wuque felt no sympathy for the man, "Just like it says in the books, I only find it noisy."

After checking their temperatures at the entrance of the theater, Yin Wuque and Song Min entered the second floor of the theater, which allowed them to look down on the stage and easily keep an eye on Dai Lin and the others.

After the two of them sat down, Yin Wuque glanced at his watch.

"They should be arriving soon."

"Will we capture the target after the magic show?"

"Let’s play it by ear. In any case, with me here, none of them can escape."

"Director Yin, Dai Lin is suspected of colluding with Han Ming. How do you plan to deal with him?"

"He’s not that kind of person." Yin Wuque’s fingers interlocked, his eyes like those of a hawk, clearly observing every single person in the theater.

"You... trust him that much?"

"I trust my judgement of people."

At that moment, in Yin Wuque’s eyes, the spectators in the theater were not people, but skeletons covered with muscle and skin. If he wished, he could easily extract anyone’s entire skeletal structure from their body, and that skeleton would become his most loyal servant.

With a single thought, he could also directly shatter specific bones in each person’s body, causing fractures. Moreover, he could bend any skeleton into any shape he desired and take any item close to the bones directly into his hands.

"They’re here."

Yin Wuque’s eyes, like X-rays, clearly pierced through the ground floor of the theater, as several familiar skeletons walked in.

"Director Song, guess how many people in this theater are actually skeleton ghosts under my control?"

"How would I be able to tell?" Song Min said with a wry smile, "You are the vice president, far more powerful than me."

"Still not powerful enough."

In Yin Wuque’s mind, the image of him being chased by the black kimono ghost in the ambulance still surfaced.

Suddenly, he took out a wallet and opened it.

"His name is Luo Ren..."

Seeing the photo on Luo Ren’s ID card, Song Min said, "We finally know his name."

Once both the appearance and the name are known, it will be easier to predict his future actions through the Future Diary, leaving him nowhere to fly.

After speaking, Yin Wuque closed the wallet and returned it.

Yin Wuque clearly discerned Dai Lin, Luo Ren, and Lu Yuqing taking their seats.

"He and Dai Lin are both locals, and their household registrations are in the same district." Yin Wuque began to analyze. "Hmm, let’s just observe for now."

Unless absolutely necessary, Yin Wuque did not want to kill Dai Lin.

This did not fit with his plan.

"Before his eyes help complete my plan... he needs to stay alive and well."

The theater darkened.

Dai Lin sat in a position far from the stage, looking at Luo Ren and Lu Yuqing beside him.

He had no idea that Yin Wuque and Song Min were there.

The curtain began to open.

Raymond Harland stepped out!

"Welcome, ladies and gentlemen! I hope my fantastical magic can bring everyone a joyful Christmas!"

And behind him, the blonde female assistant also stepped out.

Upon seeing the blonde assistant, both Yin Wuque and Song Min’s expressions changed drastically!

"What..." Song Min stared at her intently, "How could it be her?"

Yin Wuque’s eyes locked on the blonde assistant; in his view, he could not see through the bones inside her body.

"If she’s here, then that means..."

Suddenly, Dai Lin started to feel vigilant, searching around, but he noticed nothing.

"Hm?" In the darkness, Yin Wuque noticed Dai Lin’s skull had moved.

"Has he become aware... of the skeleton ghosts?"
