6: You call this magic? Sorry, this is Raven Circle!

That bullet comment flashed by, not attracting much attention.

The livestream room was still filled with mockery toward Jiang Ming and flattery for Li Hao.

However, the viewer who sent that comment couldn't take his eyes away.

He leaned in close to the screen, his face almost pressed against his phone.

It wasn't an illusion.

Behind Jiang Ming, where the pure blue sky met the horizon, tiny black dots had indeed appeared.

They were small at first, impossible to notice without looking closely.

But damn it, these black dots were expanding and approaching at an abnormal, visible speed!

“Holy crap! Look at the sky! There's really something there!”

He excitedly sent another bullet comment.

This time, a few people finally noticed.

“What is it? Where?”

“Did the liar hire more bots? Can you stop acting?”

“They're not bots! Look behind the streamer! At the furthest point!”

More and more people, with skeptical attitudes, shifted their gaze from Jiang Ming and Li Hao's faces to the sky that had been serving as the background.

Those originally imperceptible black dots converged into visible black lines in just a few seconds.

It wasn't just one line.

Black lines were emerging simultaneously from the east, south, west, and north—from every direction of the city!

These lines stretched and intersected in the air, quickly merging into black ribbons.

Finally, those black ribbons transformed into a terrifying black torrent. With a clear target, they surged frantically from the edge of the city's skyline toward the single center point: the city center square where Jiang Ming was located!

“What is that?!”

“Holy shit! Birds! It's all birds!”

“My god... what's going on?!”

The bullet comments in the livestream room exploded with a tsunami-like wave of exclamations and questions.

In an instant, all the mocking and ridiculing words were washed away, leaving only the purest shock and disbelief.

At this moment, the number of viewers in the livestream room underwent a bizarre reversal.

The downward trend that had already begun suddenly turned around, soaring upward with an even more violent momentum!

Three thousand!

Six thousand!

Eight thousand!

Every tick of the numbers represented countless new viewers drawn in by this shocking phenomenon.

On the other side of the PK window.

The smile on the face of “Scientific Iron Fist” Li Hao completely froze. He had been eloquently delivering a victory speech just a moment ago, but now he couldn't utter a single word.

Li Hao rubbed his eyes hard, thinking there were dead pixels on the screen.

He leaned his face into the camera, staring intently at the background of Jiang Ming's feed.

It wasn't dead pixels, and it wasn't CG.

It was real—a massive flock of birds moving at high speed!

TikTok Content Moderation Center.

Zhao Lin's finger, which was about to tag Jiang Ming's livestream as “vulgar hype,” stopped in mid-air.

She sprang up from her chair and leaned toward the main monitor, her mouth hanging open unconsciously.

As a platform super-moderator, she had seen many so-called “grand spectacles”—drone shows, light shows, even promotional livestreams made by movie special effects teams.

But the scene before her completely exceeded her professional understanding.

That black torrent was exactly hundreds upon thousands of ravens!

The massive cawing they emitted converged into a terrifying wave of sound.

Even through a phone screen, the highly piercing sound made the scalp of every viewer in the livestream room crawl.

The raven flock had arrived at the city gates.

A dark mass completely blotted out the sky on one side of the square; even the light over the city dimmed by several degrees because of it.

However, the most inconceivable scene had only just begun.

Not a single one of these ravens gathered from all directions landed, nor was there any chaos or collision.

After reaching the air about a hundred meters above Jiang Ming's head, they actually began to perform an unbelievable movement.

Circling.

Using an invisible center point as an axis, hundreds upon thousands of ravens began to fly in an extremely rhythmic, circling pattern.

Following that, more and more ravens arrived from further away, continuously joining the circling ranks.

Ultimately, they formed a massive, pitch-black, slowly rotating vortex of terror in the sky.

The vortex blotted out the sun.

The brilliant noon sun at twelve o'clock was completely blocked by this irrationally large raven vortex.

The light across the entire city center square fell from broad daylight into twilight within seconds.

Sunlight struggled to spill through the gaps in the rotating raven flock, casting countless moving, flickering, and eerie pillars of light onto the ground.

This scene could no longer be explained by science.

It was like a scene from ancient mythology had forcibly descended into the center of this modern city.

This is—raven ring sky!

Under the livestream camera, Jiang Ming stood quietly right beneath this massive black vortex.

He tilted his head back and spread his hands, quietly admiring his “masterpiece.”

His simple white T-shirt, in the dim light, created an incredibly strong and shocking visual impact against the massive, rotating black vortex in the sky.

A tiny human figure.

An apocalyptic spectacle covering the heavens.

This scene was deeply etched into the retinas of every viewer.

“Holy crap...”

“Holy CRAP!!!”

“What the hell am I even watching?!!”

The livestream room went completely insane.

The number of online viewers broke ten thousand directly from eight thousand within one minute, then twenty thousand, thirty thousand!

Countless “Holy crap” comments and various expensive gift effects instantly flooded the entire screen; the feed lagged so much that the figures were almost invisible.

【Positive emotion points +875】

【Shock Value +3210】

【Negative Emotional Value (Fear) +1544】

【...】

In Jiang Ming's mind, the emotion points figures were jumping frantically at an unprecedented speed.

At the same time, TikTok's server backend emitted a piercing red alert.

【Warning! Data traffic for livestream ‘Jiang Lai’ is abnormal!】

【Warning! Interaction rate, gift revenue, and online viewer growth curves have severely deviated from normal models!】

After the smart algorithm determined this wasn't malicious data manipulation, it immediately made the most correct decision.

It pushed this livestream room into a larger, broader traffic pool.

Countless TikTok users who were scrolling through funny videos or watching beautiful girls dancing gave their fingers a light swipe; the next video was a real-time clip of Jiang Ming's livestream.

A young man in white, standing in a city square.

Above his head was a black vortex of death composed of thousands of crows that blotted out the sun.

Related tags began to spread like a virus across all social platforms like Weibo, Tieba, and WeChat Moments, climbing frantically toward the top of the trending lists at rocket speed.

In reality.

All the pedestrians walking, resting, and chatting in the city center square stopped in their tracks.

They looked up in horror, took out their phones, and frantically filmed the inconceivable spectacle in the sky.

Screams and gasps of surprise rose and fell one after another.

The entire square fell into a massive state of commotion and chaos.
