Illusionist in American comics

Chapter 3 1 Human Face



In the personal lounge, Lu Xixian was closing his eyes to rest.

The show is over.

He did not greet the group of noble people, but returned here first, and then asked the theater staff to stop the enthusiastic audience.

He needed to take stock of tonight's haul.

As the square-inch jade plaque slowly rose in the sea of ​​consciousness, it was surrounded by countless lights of different colors.

Then the light dissipated and poured into the jade tablet.

At this time, Lu Xixian slowly opened his eyes and whispered.

"It's still a little short of it. It's a bit difficult to restore the cultivation level of the previous life, but at least I can protect myself."

Standing up, Lu Xixian relaxed his muscles and bones, while his thoughts drifted to a year ago.

Lu Xixian, known as Master Qianhuan in the alien world, is also known as the Ninth Miracle Technique because of his ability to confuse the real with the fake.

People do not know what is good or evil, and they all do things based on their preferences. If they are in a good mood, they can help the old lady cross the street. If they are in a bad mood, they will destroy the family at every turn, or even destroy the moral integrity of the people.

Countless inheritances were destroyed at the hands of Lu Xixian.

In the past, the alien world also organized a siege against him, but just like his name, there are thousands of illusions, one person and thousands of faces, and there is no reality or illusion. As long as Lu Xixian wants to escape, not even the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain can catch him. to him.

Therefore, he was able to live freely for a hundred years, and it was not until his 130th birthday that his sitting bones turned into dust.

Lu Xixian originally thought that his journey was over, and was even ready to go to the underworld. After all, he knew the consequences of his sins.

What he didn't expect was that the coldness of death had just passed, and when he opened his eyes, he had already arrived at a noisy street.

Not only that, his body even returned to that of a teenager.

As the saying goes, good people don't live long, but disasters last for thousands of years.

Lu Xixian initially thought that there was something wrong with his cultivation, but he asked himself that in the world of illusion, he must be the leader, and no one could deceive him under the pretense of illusion.

After a month of caution, he finally determined that this was a strange world and also a real world.

As for the reason for this situation, he looked at the jade tablet in the sea of ​​consciousness.

The jade tablet has no name. It already existed when he was born. Originally, there was a consciousness inside that called itself the system. But later, Lu Xixian's cultivation level increased and he directly refined the consciousness on it. Then he realized that it was a fragment of an innate magic weapon. .

Because it is a fragment and its consciousness was erased by Lu Xixian, its original function can only be explored.

At present, in addition to helping the holder to increase his cultivation level, it also has the ability to ascend and travel through time.

After understanding this truth, Lu Xixian began to restore his cultivation while adapting to the environment, in which the effect of the jade tablet played a major role.

The fragments of this innate magic weapon can absorb the emotions of the people around them as energy and turn them into golden threads of aura, which can absorb both positive and negative energy.

So half a year after arriving in this world, Lu Xixian began to perform low-key on the street, earning rent during the day, and began to explore the world at night.

As he gradually revealed the magic of illusion, he finally appeared on the Broadway stage today.

And tonight’s harvest is far greater than before.

"Sure enough, the emotional rewards brought by differences in status far exceed those of ordinary people on the street."

After sighing, Lu Xixian changed into casual clothes, and the folding fan in his hand turned into a cane. He was going to go to Chinatown to reward his taste buds.

But when he was about to go out, a slightly wider man suddenly rushed in.

"Lu! Fortunately, I came in time, there is a big deal!"

The visitor's name is Glenn Walker, who can be regarded as Lu Xixian's agent and partner.

Half a year ago, the other party was still a homeless man living on the street. Now he owns a villa and several luxury cars, and all of this is the result of the cooperation between the two.

"Speak slowly, what a big deal"

"Also, you should understand that the price quoted for a private performance needs to be increased by 50%."

Fame is the ladder to money. Although Lu Xixian has many ways to get money, the country's tax department is somewhat powerful, and even he has to be careful.

"I'll give you ten times the price!"

There was an audible sound outside the door, and then a man with a neat beard walked in.

He is Tony Stark.

Chinatown, located in Manhattan, is the largest gathering place for Chinese and overseas Chinese in New York.

At this time, in the restaurant named Unforgettable, five people were dining in a private room.

"This dish called Guobao Pork is good. I like the sweetness with the aroma of meat."

Glenn chatted with Obadiah while enjoying the taste of Chinese food.

He is a regular customer here and comes here almost every day.

Similarly, Pepper Potts also had the same idea, but she preferred the dish called Spicy Shredded Pork. After all, who gave her the nickname Little Pepper.

Although this is the joking name of his own CEO.

But unlike the situation where the three of them were feasting, the situation on the other side was slightly stiff.

At this time, Lu Xixian looked at Tony while eating fried noodles.

Tony still held the grass wine glass in his hand, and while looking at each other, Pepper fed him a mouthful of an unknown dish.

As the third bowl of noodles was finished by Lu Xixian, he finally couldn't help but said.

"Mr. Stark, I am neither a beauty nor a dollar bill."

"If you stare at me like that, I'll be shy."

Picking up the toothpick, Lu Xixian was a little confused about the other party's purpose.

Although he has only been in this world for a year, he has heard the other party's name more than once.

In short, he is an arrogant man with a bad personality.

Therefore, Lu Xixian was only polite about this conversation.

"What I mean is very clear. You can set the price as you like, but you have to perform the same trick on me again."

"Here's the check, you can take it in advance"

"But that little trick I need to see ASAP"

Picking up the pen in his pocket, Tony Stark wrote his name and time on the check, and handed it to Lu Xixian without filling in the amount.

But Lu Xixian did not pick it up immediately. Instead, she tapped the table with her left hand and slowly fell silent.

Time passed quietly, and Tony Stark on the opposite side was already a little impatient. At this time, Lu Xixian finally spoke.

"Okay, but the check is fine."

"If you have time in the future, just do me a little favor."

"As for when to perform, it depends on what you want."

Looking at the golden clouds emerging next to the jade tablet in the sea of ​​​​consciousness, Lu Xixian's hidden eyes flashed.

The person in front of me is a person with great luck, who can even influence the direction of the world.

“It’s a good cabbage waiting to be harvested.”

Lu Xixian thought to himself.

"You have good vision. Stark's help is much more valuable than dollar bills."

"Pepper, look at my schedule, I need some leisure time."

Tony didn't put the check away, he just threw it at Glenn. He felt that those tricks might require some materials, and this was just a small advance payment.

Glenn didn't put it away immediately. He didn't say thank you seriously until Lu Xixian nodded.

"Unfortunately, you won't have time in the next few days or even half a month."

"You need to go to Afghanistan. It's an important order with the military."

"You still need to come forward to complete the demonstration work"

Pepper was a little worried about this trip, but she needed to stay to handle the company's affairs, so she couldn't be with Tony on this trip. For her, who was also a part-time life assistant, it was difficult to imagine life after Tony left her.

That must be terrible.

"Okay, then in half a month"

"Wait for my notification, Illusionist!"

Before leaving, Glenn and Pepper exchanged business cards, and Tony finally had the opportunity to return the grass wine glass to Lu Xixian.

"Nice trick, but I'll see through it!"

Lu Xixian did not take it immediately because he saw the death aura surrounding the other party's eyebrows.

Although these death auras are insignificant to a person with great luck, he still spoke.

"I heard that there are many armed thugs in Afghanistan. Mr. Stark should be more careful."

"By the way, please accept it as a gift for the first meeting."

After saying that, the grass in Tony's hand began to change, and finally turned from a wine glass into a talisman.

And all this was done in the hands of Tony Stark.

At this time, the genius had to admit that the person in front of him had some abilities.

"Borrowing Your Good Words"

Putting the amulet into his pocket, Tony Stark put on his sunglasses and turned to leave.

On the other side, Obadiah also came to say goodbye. After everyone left, Lu Xixian walked back home.

In the moving vehicle, Tony rubbed the amulet in his hand. He could feel the power contained in it, just as he was aware of his own endurance.

"Witchcraft or sorcery?"

"No, it's all fake in front of science"

"That's right!"

Reaffirming his materialistic mentality, Tony finally put the amulet away.

Behind him, in Obadiah's car, a conversation finally began.

"How about my junior brother?"

Covered in black robes, the mysterious man asked Obadiah beside him.

"It looks amazing, especially the other party's magic."

"Of course, compared to the Divine Envoy, it is still a little worse."

The person next to him is his strongest collaborator. Since he got acquainted with the other person, his money holdings have increased dramatically.

But these are some added values. What Obadiah really desires is the power promised by the other party.

"Angel, does our previous agreement still stand?"

Speaking of this, Obadiah, the second boss of Stark Industries, asked with some anxiety.

"Of course, Jiuyou will never betray an agreement."

"As long as you can help me, kill my lovely junior brother"

"Power is at your fingertips"

After speaking, the mysterious man stretched out his right hand and pointed at Obadiah's forehead, and then purple cracks bloomed here.

"Experience it carefully and treat it as an advance payment."

After a long time, when Obadiah woke up, he felt countless strength emerging from his body. He gently grasped the seat next to him, and a deep palm print immediately appeared on it.

"Power! Wonderful power!"

The physical strength made Obadiah a little intoxicated, but thinking that this was just an advance payment, his original joy became even higher.

Then he knocked on the fender in front of him, and as the black fender fell down, the driver asked.

"What's the matter, boss?"

"Change the route and go to Blue Dreamland!"

In the slightly small room, Lu Xixian was sketching on the desk. It was a detailed relationship diagram that slowly spread out like a spider web.

At this time, a burst of black mist appeared in the closet behind him, and then the black mist condensed, and a figure wearing a black robe appeared and approached Lu Xixian vaguely.

But before the black shadow could take action, Lu Xixian spoke.

"Stop playing around. We are the same person. In my perception, your movements are the same as those of ants under a magnifying glass."

"By the way, how's it going with Obadiah?"

The shadow took off his black robe, and the person under the robe looked exactly like Lu Xixian.

"It's still the same, but I gave him a little benefit."

"In this era, interests are the necessary means to bind others."

"Forget it, you'd better see for yourself"

After the words fell, the two merged into one, and Lu Xixian also understood the conversation in the car.

Then his eyes fell on the table, and Lu Xixian whispered.

"The show is finally about to begin."

"One person has a thousand faces, let me perform this wonderful one-man show."
