Chapter 252: Chapter 176: Sooner or later, I’ll have Paperman beat up the trolls through the internet!_3

Several days had passed, and the Magic·Spirit Monster video had widely spread online. Whether it was the critically terrifying effects of Baglas, the horror, the telephone card control, or the manifestation, they were all frightening, showcasing an image of a Spirit Master who seemed omnipotent.

But at the same time, Jiang Shu had seen eye-catching critical comments for the first time in a long while.

Plants.

Unexpected yet unsurprising.

It had been the same in his past life; the word "plants" was an extremely irritating term found in all comments relating to Spirit Magic.

Compared to the more direct effects of other magic, the effects of Spirit Magic were abstract. Thus, aside from the subjects involved, other spectators couldn’t feel the same direct shock,

or rather, it would be more logical to assume these magic tricks involved plants.

Under such circumstances, unless you revealed all the secrets of the magic to them, these people would definitely remain unconvinced.

Of course, even if you slapped the secret in their faces with a "smack", they wouldn’t admit defeat. Instead, they would think you were just desperate and then leave with an air of superiority.

After all, it’s the internet; there’s no shame in getting face-slapped, you can always just delete the comments.

Having rich experience in online disputes, Jiang Shu naturally knew very well that getting angry meant losing.

Under these circumstances, unless you could beat them up through the internet, it was all useless.

Wait, beat them up through the internet?

Jiang Shu blinked and started to ponder the possibility of such a thing.

If it were his past life, hitting someone through the internet would be utterly impossible unless you were as wealthy as a nation. But what about this Lonely City, capable of turning magical effects into real abilities...

Maybe it was possible?

His eyes gleamed as he began to rapidly construct a magic trick in his mind.

Reaching for a piece of paper, Jiang Shu casually started folding a Paperman. Before long, a lifelike cartoon version of the paper figure appeared on his desk.

Naturally, his paper folding skills were no match for Clo’s freakish techniques, but they certainly weren’t bad; after all, he had learned to fold paper with Rock for a few days.

The Paperman...

Strictly speaking, it was a typical traditional color trick, and this trick was inseparably linked to street scams and feudal superstition.

For instance, the Paperman movement, holding a pot, and so on.

These things also couldn’t divorce from the word "horror". With a good grasp of the magic atmosphere, it could definitely give the audience enough goosebumps to carpet the floor.

And he would incorporate "spreading the Paperman through the internet" into this magic trick. By then, using the Paperman to play tricks online along with the already unsettling Magic Performance would surely give the dear keyboard warriors an unforgettable experience.

Yes, even more memorable than a Prosthetic Eye suddenly malfunctioning and playing a BL clip.

Jiang Shu glanced at the time; it was already the early hours of August 27th.

According to the arrangement he had with Sister Mei, if he prepared a Magic Performance every week...

In a few days, it would be time for the next performance.

Speaking of which, he had left this time with Sister Ruo without any notice. Not only had he not informed Sister Mei, but Xiao Ou and the others were also unaware.

Well, he couldn’t blame himself; he knew all too well that once he informed these people, his darn sense of responsibility would keep bothering him.

But now, he had decided he would give Sister Mei a proper apology and ask her if the next magic show could be scheduled as originally planned.

Yes, that’s what he would do.

He opened his wristwatch and, in the dead of the night, sent Sister Mei a heartfelt and sincere short message, then he saw a new message.

It was from a newly added friend—Tang.

"Wolf said that you know Li Yuntang? Could you invite her out under the guise of filming a movie? Maybe we could find something out. Of course, if you’re unwilling, it’s no issue; this is just a shortcut to rule out suspicions."
