Chapter 87 "The Choice" Part [-]

Three children of the same age were playing at a construction site near their home.

It was almost evening, just when the three children were tired from playing and ready to go home for dinner.

A person actually slowly descended from the sky.

This man fell in front of the three children and said: "I am the almighty Tooth Fairy. I have received the prayers of you three children. I ask each of you a question and give each of you a power."

The three children looked at each other, and one of them stood up and said to the Tooth Fairy, "Are you really the Tooth Fairy?"

The Tooth Fairy smiled and waved gently, and the questioning child among the three suddenly floated in the air.

The Tooth Fairy waved her finger, and the child circled twice in the air and then landed firmly on the ground.

The three of them were convinced at this moment.

The Tooth Fairy pointed at one of the children and said, "What's your name?"

"My name is Xiaohong." Xiaohong said with a smile.

"So what do you want to be when you grow up?" the Tooth Fairy asked again.

"I want to be a magician and perform magic. Because I saw the circus last week and the magician was so handsome." Xiaohong said with a smile.

The Tooth Fairy smiled and whispered a few words into Xiao Hong's ear, and then said: "This is the super power I gave you."

Xiaohong nodded and walked aside.

The Tooth Fairy pointed at the child who had just questioned again and said, "What's your name again?"

The child said excitedly: "My name is Xiao Huang."

"So what do you want to be when you grow up?" the Tooth Fairy asked again.

Xiao Huang said with a smile: "I haven't thought about it yet. I might want to be a scientist or a doctor. How about being the president?"

The Tooth Fairy smiled and whispered a few words into Xiao Huang's ear, and then said, "This is the super power I gave you."

Xiao Huang smiled and walked aside.

The Tooth Fairy asked the last child, "What is your name?"

"My name is Xiaolan, and I want to be a policeman. I want to protect my mother, because my father is also a policeman. He... Tooth Fairy, can you resurrect a person? I want my dad..." Xiaolan said As he spoke, he shed tears, and the tears couldn't stop flowing down.

The Tooth Fairy said in Xiao Lan's ear: "Only God can do such things as resurrecting people. What I give you now is the super power to make liquid disappear. By the way, remember not to tell adults."

Xiao Lan was still crying just now, and the Tooth Fairy waved her finger in front of Xiao Lan.The next moment, Xiao Lan stopped crying.

The Tooth Fairy then stood up and said, "I've given you super powers, and what happens next is up to you."

Before the three of them could react, the Tooth Fairy slowly flew upwards.

Above the clouds, the Tooth Fairy took out a pad of sticky notes.

The paper said: I don't want my mother to find out that I wet the bed.

And below this sentence are: the names of Xiao Huang, Xiao Lan and Xiao Hong.

The Tooth Fairy crossed out the names of the three people with a pen, and then turned to the next page.

The next page also contained a paragraph and the names of several people. The Tooth Fairy sighed and disappeared into the air.

. . .

Xiao Hong looked at the two of them and said, "What kind of super power did the Tooth Fairy give you?"

Xiao Huang said: "The Tooth Fairy says what cannot be said."

"The Tooth Fairy told me not to tell adults." Xiao Lan scratched his head.

Xiao Hong smiled and said, "I guess I just can't tell the adults. He gave me the super power to make liquids disappear."

"Eh? This is what the Tooth Fairy gave me." Xiao Huang said.

"He gave the three of us exactly the same superpowers?" Xiaolan said.

"But we obviously said different things. You want to be a policeman. You think more, but why are we all given the same superpower?" Xiaohong said.

"I think if you keep talking, you won't be able to eat. Maybe there will be a meal waiting, it's almost dark." Xiao Huang said.

The three scattered.

. . .

That day, Xiaohong’s house.

"My child's father, how are you preparing for the move tomorrow? The school will be demolished, so let's just change schools." Xiaohong's mother said.

"Eh? Why?" Xiao Hong said in confusion.

"What are you kiddo interrupting? Damn it, have you calculated how much money you can get for this demolition?" Xiaohong's father said.

"Hey, what about Xiao Huang and Xiao Lan? Will we see them again in the future?" Xiao Hong said.

"Everyone has to move, so you can give me food. The subsidy this time is pretty good. This place will be demolished to build a large gymnasium. Let's move further away and hire a foreign teacher for our children. Recently, I have learned to play, and my grades have dropped. ." Xiaohong's mother said.

After dinner, Xiaohong finished her homework on the attic.

Xiaohong looked at the water glass on the table, which was half full of water.

Xiaohong wonders if she has the superpower to make liquids disappear.Xiaohong stared at the water glass and began to suggest that the water disappear.

In an instant, the water in the water glass disappeared in front of me.

Xiaohong looked at the empty water glass in disbelief.

. . . . . .

20 years later.

After the Grand Opera House is densely packed.

The man in a straight suit said to Xiaohong: "My great magician, it has been more than a year. Are there no new ones for your performances?"

"Yes, I'm working hard on creating." Xiaohong said.

"I've been hearing this for half a year, right? You know I'm not the only one urging you. The audience is tired of watching. A genius magician who toured for five years shocked the world. But why did I just sign the contract?" You only have a few performances this year?" the man in the suit said.

"I will release a new show, just today. I have already thought about it, don't worry." Xiaohong said.

"No, don't be burdened. I mean, those magic tricks of yours are really powerful. But the guests always eat so many kinds of things, even delicacies should be tired of them. When you first came here, sit down The attendance rate is almost full every time. But now? I think you know better than me, right?" The man in the suit said again.

"I have thought about it, and I will perform an escape room today. Fill a big iron can with water, then tie me up and throw me in. Then..." Xiao Hong had not finished her nervous words.

The man in the suit put his hand on Xiao Hong's shoulder and said: "Water, water, water, you can't leave the water? Think of some more exciting shows? How about close-up magic? You, the title of international magic master, don't know these basics You can’t do that, right?”

"I...I can, but can you do it tomorrow? Even if you let me perform these today, I will start again tomorrow..." Xiaohong said hesitantly.

The man in the suit walked aside and took out a box and threw it on the ground and said: "These are all things left by the last magician who was fired when I hired you. That magician didn't take them with him when he left. See what can be used." , there’s still half an hour left to play.”

Xiao Hong stretched out her hands and shook them and said: "No, let me perform those buckets again. Just the last time, I will change it tomorrow..."

The man in the suit shook his head and said: "Yes, there are buckets. You guys come here and move these buckets out with me. Listen up, my great magician. Give us something different today to keep Your reputation."

. . .

Xiaohong watched the man in a suit and three strong men move away the bucket where he performed every day.

Xiaohong knelt down and was silent for a moment.

Xiaohong glanced at the time on the watch on her wrist and slowly opened the box in front of her.

Inside are all the things left by the last magician who was fired.

Xiaohong rummaged around, looking for hats, sticks, ribbons, and red balls.

Xiaohong suddenly found a water gun and turned it on with joy.

But I found that there was not a drop of water inside, it was empty.

Xiaohong lay on the ground, tears falling down.

In the past few years, he has gone from being a world-renowned super magic genius to now.

Xiaohong never imagined that it would turn out like this.

At this time, a girl dressed as a bunny girl came in and said: "Master Magic, the show starts in 10 minutes. The boss came over and asked me to ask, can I perform?"

Xiaohong raised her head, and the tears on her face disappeared in an instant.

Xiao Hong said with a trembling voice: "I understand, please leave first."

The bunny girl nodded her head and pointed at Xiaohong's face and said, "Master, your makeup is a little off."

Xiaohong waved her hand and said, "Go out, I will take care of it."

The bunny girl turned around and walked out, closing the door behind her.

10 minute later.

The red curtain slowly opened. . .

The middle of the stage was empty, with a box scattered on the floor.

Various props are spread on the ground.

1 minute, 2 minutes.

Everyone looked at the stage and waited with joy, thinking that some surprise would happen.

Because this magic master named Xiaohong is the only magic master whose magic has not been exposed so far.

But for a long time, nothing happened.

Doubts appeared one after another in the audience.

Until the man in a straight suit ran over, took the microphone and said, "Sorry everyone, this performance is over. The magic master is a little unwell today. Please tune in to watch the circus show next."

There were boos, and then various drink bottles and sundries were thrown onto the stage.

. . .

A few kilometers away, Xiaohong drove her sports car into the distance.

Xiao Hong muttered: "Xiao Huang, Xiao Lan, what will you look like now?"
