Chapter 499 Magic Lover

"That's amazing!" Xiaolan, who was in the audience, applauded to support her best friend and asked curiously, "Yuanzi, how did you do it?"

"This is a secret!" Yuanzi raised her index finger and said proudly, "Tonight, I will perform this magic in front of everyone."

Beside Xiaolan, Haibara Ai turned her head and glanced at Ze Yu silently.

There was a hint of doubt in her eyes, clearly saying, "Can this be considered magic?"

Ze Yu returned her look, his awareness obvious: "For Sonoko, this kind of magic is already very advanced."

Although Ze Yu did not start telepathic communication, due to their tacit understanding, the two easily understood each other's meaning.

Even if it was just two simple glances.

"By the way, Sonoko." Xiaolan changed the subject and said, "The members of the party you are going to meet today should all be magic fans, right?"

"Yes, we all met on the Internet. We are netizens." Sonoko said with a smile.

"I can't believe that the eldest daughter of the Suzuki Group would also use a computer to make friends." Uncle Maori, who was driving, casually complained.

In this day and age, the Internet is not well developed, and computers are relatively precious and rare items. Not every household is qualified to own one.

As for those who make friends online, there are even fewer.

Uncle Maori said this just as a joke.

Hearing Uncle Maori's words, Ze Yu felt a strong sense of time. He blinked and recalled a few words that also had a sense of time.

[Do you surf the Internet, too? ]

[Are you a GG or a MM? ]

These ancient sayings originated from the famous quotes posted by young people who were curious about high technology when they came into contact with the Internet when computers first became popular.

Thinking of these famous quotes and this backward era, Ze Yu subconsciously thought of Hiroki, the outlier.

So, in the original work, Hiroki was able to research true artificial intelligence and a virtual experience cabin in an era when computers were not well developed... How genius was he?
This kind of talent is simply unimaginable.

To give an example, it is like an ancient person using very simple tools and materials to build a super spaceship with performance exceeding the speed of light. It is incredible.

But Hiroki did it. It was so unreasonable, even more scientific than Conan, it was outrageous.

Sawaha's thought only flashed through her mind, and Sonoko quickly responded to what Uncle Mori said.

"Please, a new era has arrived, and the Internet has become an indispensable tool in the world."

Yuanzi leaned back in her seat and said comfortably, "Uncle, I think it would be better to put a computer in your office, right?"

There was only one meaning revealed in her words...

[Sir, times have changed! 】

Uncle Maori was choked and stopped talking. He was too lazy to argue with the little girl.

Seeing this, Xiaolan changed the subject again and said, "Sonoko, I never thought that you would suddenly make friends online and even become interested in magic."

"Yes..." Sonoko looked intoxicated, covering her face and said, "Because I met a rare man on the Internet." "A rare man?" Xiaolan blinked curiously.

Sonoko said in a fangirling manner: "His name is 'Doi Takeki', he is 21 years old, and he is a frequent visitor to the 'Magic Lovers League' that I participate in."

"He is polite, humorous, and intelligent, and sometimes shows excellent literary accomplishment... He must be a handsome man with both good looks and talent!" Sonoko became more and more excited as she spoke.

"So, you haven't met yet?" Xiaolan asked.

"Yes, today is the first time we meet." Sonoko replied.

"Sister Sonoko." Ze Yu couldn't help asking, "Have you forgotten Brother Kyogoku Makoto who is far away abroad?"

"It's okay." Yuanzi didn't care at all and said carelessly: "A Zhen's existence doesn't affect my appreciation of other handsome guys."

Ever since Sonoko and Kyogoku Makoto met, whenever Sonoko was infatuated with him, Sawaha would bring out that big guy.

At first, Yuanzi felt a little guilty, but over time, she got used to it.

Until now, she not only has no guilt, but also feels justified.

Seeing that Yuanzi looked like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water, Ze Yu could only shut up for the time being.

Sonoko fell into a beautiful fantasy she had created for herself, and said to herself, "I will perform this magic trick that I have worked so hard to learn for 'Doi Takeshu' to appreciate. He will definitely be surprised and like me, right?"

"No way." Conan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, said listlessly, "How can such a common and basic magic that can be seen casually be surprising?"

"I know the principle of that magic trick without even watching it. It's nothing more than putting the knot of the rope into the ring and then pulling the rope out with your thumb, right?"

"So that's how it is. I understand." Xiaolan looked suddenly enlightened.

"This kid is still so annoying..." Sonoko frowned unhappily.

"Sonoko, don't be angry." Xiaolan quickly spoke up for Conan and said with a wry smile, "Conan is in a bad mood because I went to your party and didn't have time to accompany him."

Xiaolan can understand Conan's thoughts, after all, she knows Conan's identity.

It would be strange for Conan to be happy when his girlfriend went to a strange party where there were strange men.

Of course, there was another reason why Conan was unhappy: he accidentally caught a cold.

Conan was wearing a mask at the moment and his mental state was already rather bad. Coupled with the fact that Xiaolan was attending a strange party, he couldn't have a good attitude towards Sonoko.

"Sister Sonoko." Ze Yu smiled slightly and suddenly asked, "Do you want to see some real magic?"

"Real magic?" Yuanzi was stunned for a moment, and asked curiously: "Xiaoyu, can you perform magic?"

"Of course I will. Have you forgotten?" Ze Yu couldn't help but rolled his eyes cutely: "When your Suzuki family was showing off the family heirloom jewel 'Dark Star', I used magic to beat the famous young magician 'Sanada Kazuzo' in a round."

"Really?" Yuanzi frowned and thought for a while: "It seems to be true..."

"Forget it, if you can't remember it, forget it." Ze Yu shook his head and smiled, "The real magic begins."

"Sister Sonoko, please extend your hand."
