Chapter 2 This is 2008
Uncle John was in a very bad mood today, just because he received a call from Pete, the magician of his theater, early this morning. The call stated that he needed to go back to his hometown to visit his mother because of his serious illness, so he could not go to the theater to perform normally tonight.
Uncle John could only accept it and expressed concern for Pete's mother. He had no choice but to force Pete to stay and perform. Enthusiastic Uncle John said that he could not do such a thing, but Pete was the only one in his theater.
A magician can't come. What should I do for tonight's magic show? All the tickets are sold out.
Uncle John, who was in a depressed mood, was walking on the street, thinking about how to get through tonight's difficulties, when he inadvertently caught sight of a man wearing only underpants on the side of the street.
Uncle John usually sees a lot of homeless people like this. Sometimes he will give some food and change when he is in a good mood, but today this one looks a little unusual. First of all, this is a man with an Asian face. There are no scars on his body.
, and it’s very clean. How can a homeless person be so clean?
"Hey, wake up, man."
So the enthusiastic Uncle John walked up to the man, knelt down and pushed him with his hand, preparing to wake him up.
"Where is this? Wait, my head hurts."
Li Yue was sleeping soundly when he suddenly felt someone pushing him. He slowly opened his eyes, only to see the dazzling sunlight. He narrowed his eyes unnaturally and took a few seconds to adapt. Then he felt a headache, as if
Three days and three nights without any rest.
However, with Li Yue's current mental state, he would not feel uncomfortable even if he didn't rest for several days and nights, and besides, this was when he had just woken up.
"Hey, man, put this dress on first."
Just when Li Yue was wondering about his sudden headache, a voice came, speaking English. In the year after he obtained super powers, Li Yue not only exercised his super powers, but also learned English. His mental strength was stronger than before.
It has been enhanced so much that my memory has become extremely good. In addition, I often watch movies, American TV series, etc., so there is absolutely no problem in communicating in English.
Li Yue sat up and looked at the source of the sound. He saw in front of him a white uncle with a big beard, but he didn't look vicious at all. With the smile on his face, he looked like an enthusiastic man.
He was carrying a piece of clothing, which seemed to have been taken off just now, and he stretched out his hand and handed it to Li Yue.
"Thanks!"
Li Yue said thank you in English, took the clothes from the uncle and put them on himself. Fortunately, the clothes the uncle wore were larger and he was fatter, so he could barely cover his body.
"Why are you sleeping on the street, wearing only a pair of underpants? Have you been robbed?"
Uncle John asked curiously as he watched Li Yue put on his clothes.
"I also want to know. I was sleeping well at home before, but why did I fall asleep on the street as soon as I opened my eyes? Moreover, I was abroad. Could it be that I was sleepwalking? I have never had this kind of situation before."
Li Yue thought in his mind. He was more curious than his uncle about what happened to him and why he came here suddenly, but now was not the time to dwell on this issue.
"Uncle, can you take me to a quiet place to rest? Let me sort out my thoughts. It would be better if I have some clothes that fit me."
Li Yue said to the uncle that he didn't know what the situation was now and had no choice but to trouble this enthusiastic uncle.
"I happen to be going to my theater, you come with me."
The uncle said to Li Yue, and then led Li Yue towards his theater.
The destination was not far away, and it was estimated that it would only take about ten minutes to arrive. Li Yue also learned some information from Uncle John on the way, but the results he obtained made Li Yue a little unbelievable.
Because this is actually Las Vegas in the United States. This is not a place that Li Yue can't believe. Li Yue still knows about Las Vegas, but he has never been there. Li Yue has been in the mountains since he gained the ability.
I trained in the old forest and never dared to use it in crowded places, so I have never been to many places on the earth.
What made Li Yue unbelievable the most was that Uncle John said it was 2008. Li Yue remembered that he was clearly in 2019, and after taking a nap, it was 11 years ago!
"I have traveled through time, and I have traveled to Las Vegas in the United States in 2008."
Li Yue could only silently accept this fact. Li Yue once used urine to escape to a deserted place and activated his transmission ability. There was no abnormality in the ability. He could teleport to the forest where he had trained before, but he was not as good as before.
He then tried to return to his own home, including his hometown and the rented house, but failed. It was probably because there was no home in his memory in this world, so the transmission could not go there.
There was no other way, so Li Yue had no choice but to return to Las Vegas and follow Uncle John to the theater he mentioned. The theater was not big, just a small theater.
According to Uncle John, this was passed down from his grandfather to his father, who in turn passed it on to him. Although it is not very big and the business is not very good, he still feels that he should continue to operate it.
After arriving at the theater, I followed Uncle John to a rest room backstage. Uncle John still had many things to do, so he left Li Yue in the rest room to do his work.
Li Yue still feels uncomfortable in his head. Everything has happened, and there is nothing he can do. He can only take a nap first to recuperate before talking. As the saying goes, "There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain."
…
I don't know how long it took, but a burst of noise came to Li Yue's ears. He got up and checked, but there were already a lot of people backstage, all actors from the theater. With more people, the voices were naturally louder. Li Yue
Of course, Yue couldn't sleep anymore. Fortunately, after a good nap, his energy had almost recovered, so he simply went out and walked around backstage.
"Uncle John, the magic show is due in two hours. Mr. Pitt is not here. Hasn't the magician who came to the rescue been found yet?"
A handsome young man asked Uncle John, his face full of anxiety.
"No, I have made countless calls, but I can't find a magician who can come to the rescue. He is either too far away from here or works in another theater and is unwilling to come to help."
Uncle John also looked anxious, but he could only answer helplessly.
At this time, Li Yue was wandering around backstage, his eyes scanning the young ladies in various costumes walking by him from time to time. It was a feast for the eyes.
I happened to pass by Uncle John and overheard their conversation.
"Uncle John, what happened?"
Li Yue asked the somewhat anxious Uncle John.
"It's Li Yue. You woke up. How are you? Are you feeling better?"
Uncle John looked back and saw Li Yue and asked, but he didn't say what it was.
Li Yue just listened to the general idea and saw that Uncle John didn't say anything, so he replied: "It's much better now. Thank you for your concern. However, if there is anything Uncle John can tell me, maybe I can be of any help."
must."
Uncle John saw Li Yue asking, so he had no choice but to tell Li Yue what had happened.
After listening, Li Yue also understood the situation and thought to himself that in the year after he obtained superpowers, his mental strength had greatly increased, which brought many benefits. Among them, memory is one aspect. He can now almost do it.
I have a photographic memory. I have watched many magic movies in my previous life, and the principles are still very clear in my mind. I believe that it is no problem to copy some simple magic tricks, and I have the ability to transmit, so I can perform some magic tricks.
Don't be too simple.
Thinking of this, Li Yue said to Uncle John: "Uncle John, to tell you the truth, I have learned some magic tricks before, and I think I can still perform them. Since this is the case, why don't you let me try it."
"Li Yue, are you really okay? Sorry, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that this theater is my half-life effort. If I mess up this time, it will probably be more difficult to do business in the future. Please forgive me for being cautious.
"
Uncle John was surprised at first when he heard Li Yue's words, but then he said seriously.
"It's okay, Uncle John, you don't need to be so polite. I haven't said thank you to you for helping me. Besides, we are not familiar with each other. It is understandable that you should be cautious. However, we have a saying in China, 'A dead horse is treated as a live horse'.
’, Of course everyone will be happy if it succeeds, but it’s not the worst if it doesn’t succeed, right?”
Li Yue said to Uncle John. He is very confident now. If he has super powers and is not good at performing, then he should not mess around.
"Okay, that's all. Barry, you take Li Yue to change into performance clothes, get familiar with the props, and introduce Li Yue to Iris."
Uncle John gave instructions to the young man who just spoke to him.
"Li Yue, if you have any questions, you can ask Barry. He is a prop master. If necessary, you can ask Barry to prepare it."
Uncle John then finished speaking to Li Yue, and then left in a hurry. He still had many things to arrange.
"Li Yue, am I right? It's really difficult for you to pronounce Chinese. Hello, my name is Barry Allen. You can call me Barry. I'm Mr. Pitt's prop master. It's our first time meeting you. Nice to meet you.
.”
The young man introduced himself to Li Yue and extended his right hand.
"Hello, Barry. Has anyone ever told you that you're handsome?"
Li Yue was surprised, no, it should be said that he was very surprised. Barry Allen, if I remember correctly, should be the protagonist in an American TV series "The Flash" that he had watched, and he was eighty-nine similar to that actor, but
He looks a bit young. Could it be that he has traveled back in time to the American TV series DC "The Flash"? But his occupation doesn't match. He is not a policeman in the TV series, so how could I meet him here.
Li Yue didn't know what was going on, so he could only keep his thoughts in his heart. Maybe he would soon understand what was going on.
Li Yue stretched out his right hand to shake Barry's hand, and then said: "Let's go, Barry, let's go get ready. Time is running out. I hope we can surprise everyone tonight."
"By the way, can you prepare two boxes for me, about the same size as a door, for a magic show?" Li Yue and Barry walked to the prop room together, and then asked Barry casually.
