Five minutes later, Xie Yu spat out a small string of bubbles and got the 26th key. He finally opened the first copper lock. As the chain was loosened by the water current, the range of his hands increased. He could try to open three copper locks now. Eight minutes later, Xie Yu opened two more bronze locks.
"I didn't expect Xie Yu's ability to hold his breath to be so strong. He obviously can't swim, but he can already break the world record, right?”Xu Deqing looked at his watch and sighed.
"The national record is 8 minutes and 1 second to hold your breath in the STAs.”Wu Quanrong stared at the stage and replied without turning his head.
"This magic trick is too risky. It's very difficult to succeed!”Zhou Xihao frowned slightly. In fact, he had seen a lot of magic tricks to escape in the water. Usually, it was the kind of magic lock that could be opened with a press. There was no need for a key at all. Moreover, it would be mixed with a smokescreen, using a cloth or a blurry glass piece to make you think that the person was still inside! It was hard for him to imagine Xie Yu's real performance with no cover at all.
Nine minutes later, Xie Yu had opened a total of four locks. Most of his hands were free, and only a chain was holding his hands to his waist. Now, he was clumsily removing the black cloth covering his eyes and mouth. However, because he tied it too tightly, it took him another minute to finish it. He pulled off the last piece of black cloth in his mouth and immediately spat out a series of bubbles. The audience was terrified and thought that he was going to suffocate to death. It must be known that the average person's heart would stop beating if they did not breathe for five minutes.
" Drown him, drown him!" Liu Yiming nodded as he muttered under the stage, as if he was casting a curse.
"If you don't do it, you won't die." Liu Lei looked at Xie Yu's embarrassed expression and gloated.
"Kacha." The last copper lock on his waist was unlocked. Although Xie Yu's hands were still handcuffed, his arms were completely uncuffed. He looked back at the locks behind him and realized that there were only two locks left, while there were as many as eleven locks in front of him. Therefore, he did a roll in the water and used his feet to pass through the handcuffs to move his hands to the front.
Even though the water had created many small bubbles that affected his vision, he could now see with his eyes, so it was much easier to find the key than when he was blindfolded. " Splash!" A water spray device under his feet rang. A key quickly slid over and shot towards Xie Yu's eyes. He quickly controlled a portion of the water to block it and raised his head to retreat. " Bang!" The back of his head hit the water tank, making a loud noise and spitting out a few more bubbles.
"Wow, that was really close."
"That's right. I didn't feel anything when I closed my eyes. Now that I've opened them, I realize that these keys are also abnormally dangerous.”
"I don't know if he can hold on.”
The audience below the stage cried out when they saw this. Some of them were so scared that they closed their eyes when the key was about to be inserted into their eyes. They lamented that this water escape was much better than the ones on TV. The kind of magic where a person jumped into a water box, covered it with a black cloth, and then disappeared after the person was removed. Was this considered escaping? It was obvious that it was fake. It was not interesting at all. It was not as exciting as watching the process with his own eyes.
18 minutes had passed. If it weren't for the fact that Xie Yu was still looking for the key, Yan Ying would have already rushed over and smashed the box. She had once seen a world freediving champion practice the Turtle Breathing Technique in the swimming pool. The other party's record was 18 minutes 3.69 seconds, and it was the result of inhaling pure oxygen. Because of her nervousness, her forehead and palms were sweating a little. She was afraid that Xie Yu would collapse in the next second and suffocate in the water.
20 minutes passed, and the 50,000-plus audience members in the stadium fell silent. Some of them even took out their phones to call 110 or 120 to get an ambulance ready. After all, had they ever seen a person stay in the water for so long without an oxygen tank? If it was an ordinary person, they would have died more than five or six times. Just thinking about it was terrifying.
After 28 minutes, Xie Yu got the last key. He quickly opened the handcuffs on his feet and jumped to the top of the water tank. Before the audience could react, he opened the lid and jumped out. He landed steadily on the stage and brought a lot of water with him.
The audience was stunned for a moment before shouting," Beautiful. Unbelievable."
"Amazing, he's really amazing.”
"Ouch…Oh my god."
“ohmygod。”
All kinds of applause and cheers rang out. No one believed that Xie Yu would succeed, but the truth was right in front of them. They had no choice but to believe it. Liang Yuxin, Yan Ying, Xiao Fa, and the others who knew Xie Yu all heaved a sigh of relief. Their expressions changed from nervous to relaxed, and then to smiling. They clapped their hands and joined the audience, cheering together.
"This magician must have used some kind of prop, otherwise how could he hold his breath for so long?”The M-Pass reporter was indignant at the camera."I hope someone can expose this trick.”
A few of the reporters outside the circle really regretted it. They did not expect Xie Yu to be so skilled. At this moment, they could only do their best to take photos and gather information, hoping to recover some of their losses.
Zong Xian's face was full of smiles. He had captured every single one of today's magic tricks. He had a feeling that Xie Yu's next magic trick would be even more exciting. Hence, he quickly took out his phone and contacted the editor-in-chief. He then sent the video of the underwater escape to the other party in sections. He wanted to immediately apply for a live broadcast window!
The old man clapped as he went up on stage. He looked at Xie Yu and nodded before announcing the start of the guessing segment. There were quite a number of people this time, 80 people, but the bald man did not come up again. Some of the dozens of people guessed that there was a black cloth, iron chain, or copper lock. Some guessed that there was a water tank or a cart. Some guessed that Xie Yu had hidden some high-tech gills on his body. It was simply a wonderful idea! However, although the fantasy was beautiful, reality was cruel. When the money in the prize pool rolled to about 100,000, no one went up on stage anymore. The guessing of the flaw was announced to be over.
Xie Yu slowly walked down the stage, planning to change his clothes. He thought of the fish gills just now and shook his head with a smile. The reason why he could hold it in for so long was that he used water to wrap the air for himself to breathe. Wasn't anyone curious why the machine had a water flow setting? In fact, he did this on purpose. Because the machine controlled the flow of water, it would produce a lot of bubbles. Firstly, it could conceal the small amount of air in his bag, and secondly, it could increase the difficulty of unlocking. It could be said to be killing two birds with one stone.
After Xie Yu changed his clothes, Chris's performance entered its official stage. He jumped into a specially made huge iron bucket. The staff threw a match into it, and flames immediately shot out. The iron bucket immediately burned up, and the high temperature that even distorted the air made Xie Yu feel extremely dangerous.
The flames burned for a while before gradually weakening. At this time, the staff suddenly took out a fan and fanned it at a small opening under the iron bucket. The flames immediately sprang up and burned very vigorously, half a meter higher than the one at the beginning. Just as everyone was curious about whether the person inside had turned to ashes, Chris suddenly stretched out a hand from the burning iron bucket, scaring the audience.
Five seconds later, he retracted his hand. A minute later, the flame gradually died down until it was completely extinguished. Chris climbed out of the fire unscathed and announced the end of the magic show. The audience immediately applauded. This was obviously a very exciting magic trick.
The M Nation reporters cheered loudly and broadcasted live to their own country's people."Did everyone see that? It's like a phoenix burning and coming back from the dead. Our Chris is really amazing. The one from Huaxia who escaped in the water can't be compared at all.”
