The manager, Mr. Wang, and his colleagues watched in stunned silence, even more bewildered than the rest of the audience. They were familiar with many of the props on the stage, and their understanding of them only deepened their shock and confusion.
He performed such miraculous magic with such simple props?
???
They craned their necks, eyes wide, as Bai Ye walked towards the Snow King mascot. As instructed by Bai Ye, multiple parts of the Snow King mascot were tied with transparent strings.
Could those strings manipulate these giant mascots? Just like the bear puppet earlier? But, was it really possible?
As they pondered, Bai Ye slightly bent down as if picking something up.
Immediately, the audience erupted in a wave of cheers. The viewers in the live stream were also in an uproar.
Holy crap! It's moving, the Snow King is moving!
Hahaha, the Snow King with its short legs is so cute!
How did he do that???
This is unscientific!!!
Manager Wang and his group stared with wide eyes, a thousand impossibilities racing through their minds.
Elder Song, standing beside them, smiled at Bai Ye. He then glanced at Manager Wang and his group and whispered a few words to the young team leader beside him.
The young team leader looked at Manager Wang and his group and nodded.
I feel like the Snow King has truly come alive! Look, it’s waving, oh my god, and blowing kisses!! Heavens!
Wahaha!!! So adorable!
Amidst the exclamations, Bai Ye manipulated the Snow King to move around the stage to the location of a Qilin mascot.
With a casual lift, as if grabbing something, his slender fingers twitched. The Qilin below also began to run along with the Snow King.
The audience let out another round of surprised gasps.
Amidst their incredulous shouts, Bai Ye led the Snow King and the Qilin around the stage. He manipulated them to wave at the audience, strike various cute poses, and even sometimes had the Snow King ride the Qilin, or the Snow King carrying the Qilin as it ran, eliciting laughter from the entire venue.
Wuwuwu ╰(*deg;▽deg;*)╯So cute!
The Snow King carrying the Qilin, hahaha, so funny!!
This is too entertaining! Speaking of which, aren't there any magic reveal masters coming out to explain it?
Don't even mention it! I think Xiao Qiang Ge is about to have a breakdown. Ever since he met Brother Ye, his account has only updated with one piece of work!
Hahaha, Brother Ye is the nightmare of magic revealers!
Xiao Qiang, sitting in the front-row VIP seats, couldn't resist opening his phone. He immediately saw many private messages begging him to reveal the secrets, and even wealthy patrons offered significant sums for an explanation!
Tempted, he opened Bai Ye's live stream and began typing furiously, only to pause.
He looked up at the lifelike movements of the giant mascots on the stage, appearing as if they were alive, and his brow furrowed slightly.
Being sharp-eyed, he did notice the strings in Bai Ye's hands.
But could these huge mascots, two of them at that, really be manipulated solely by those transparent strings? Hiss—or perhaps there were mechanisms inside? That's impossible; mechanical mechanisms couldn't produce such fluid movements!
Could there be someone inside?
The internet celebrity Xiao Qiang’s thoughts spiraled. Uncertain, he chose the safest approach, deleting the comment he was about to send and choosing silence.
Meanwhile, another small magic internet celebrity, holding a large camera, could capture clear shots from a distance. Therefore, he faintly saw the strings Bai Ye was manipulating, causing his heart rate to instantly jump to 130. His hands trembled as he held his phone, opening Bai Ye's live stream.
Karma comes around, tonight is finally my turn to shine!!!
In Bai Ye's live stream, thirty million netizens discussed the performance, simultaneously tagging famous magicians or magic reveal masters.
Xiao Qiang, the internet celebrity, was tagged the most frequently.
However, many masters chose to remain silent.
Suddenly, a prominent message appeared in the bullet comments.
[Ghost Hand Magician sent a Carnival x1]: Brother Ye has strings in his hands, which are used to pull and manipulate the two mascots, just like controlling puppets! But because the strings are transparent, we can't see them from afar! However, I brought professional equipment and took some footage. Anyone interested can check out my account. Small streamers aren't easy; I hope everyone gives me a follow.
Boom!
Ghost Hand Magician's words caused Bai Ye's live stream to explode as if hit by a nuclear bomb, and the number of viewers in the live stream began to drop again.
Hehehehe.
The internet celebrity Xiao Qiang also visited his live stream and watched for a few moments. The photos and videos indeed captured some reflective transparent strings in Bai Ye's hands.
Damn it! There really are strings! Brother Ye is too clever!
Hahaha, no wonder he kept emphasizing science!
Manipulating such large mascots with one hand each, Brother Ye, besides being the world's number one magician, can also be called the number one puppeteer!
As everyone was laughing and discussing, another conspicuous bullet comment appeared in the live stream.
[Magic Reveal - Xiao Qiang sent a Carnival x1]: @Ghost Hand Magician, puppet manipulation relies on the coordination of gravity and forward tension. Tell me, how are these actions achieved, like the gas-filled Snow King bending over to salute everyone, or carrying the Qilin, using gravity and forward tension?
[Magic Little Overlord sent a Carnival x1]: Your skill level is so low you dare call yourself Ghost Hand? Haven't you even learned junior high physics? The gas-filled Snow King is elastic; the puppet operating method would never allow it to bend over! The most likely scenario is that there are mechanical mechanisms inside, or perhaps even a staff member!
In an instant, famous magic streamers on Douyin all jumped out. The magician Ghost Hand, seeing these popular influencers suddenly attacking him, slowly turned rigid with joy, a surge of anger rising within him. He wanted to retort but realized they were all correct!
The audience, suddenly enlightened, felt he was attention-seeking and turned away with disgust, unfollowing him directly.
Ghost Hand Magician's enthusiasm and excitement were instantly doused with a bucket of cold water. His fan count had just surpassed five million, but in the blink of an eye, it dropped to only 100,000. In the process, he lost 400,000 of his original 500,000 followers.
He had been too careless!
But Brother Ye clearly had wires in his hands!!!
He wanted to cry!
Suddenly, Bai Ye's voice cut through, immediately recapturing everyone's attention.
Next, I need a volunteer from the audience to help me perform a small magic trick.
Saying this, Bai Ye floated down from the stage and then rode onto the back of the Qilin. He sat steadily on the Qilin's back.
The internet celebrities Xiao Qiang, Magic Little Overlord, Ghost Hand Magician, and other magicians or revealers, along with numerous netizens, watched in disbelief, turning to stone on the spot!
(ordm;言ordm;) Huh?
No way???
The inflatable Qilin didn't explode? It didn't even deflate?
Such good quality?
What the hell! It's even walking? It's really alive???
Are there two staff members carrying it inside?
sigma;(っdeg;Дdeg;;)っ???(￣△￣；)
Bullet comments flashed across the screen: Resurrection Spell
Resurrection Spell
Boom!
The entire venue immediately erupted in a frenzy.
Ahhh!! Me! Me! Brother Ye, over here!
I volunteer! Brother Ye!!!
Pick me, pick me!!
Jealousy!!!
Amidst the shock, the eyes of the viewers in the live stream and off-stage twinkled with envious green light.
Ding!
Not long after Bai Ye's words fell, a spotlight shone onto the audience. Those illuminated by it began to scream wildly. Even those with social anxiety overcame their fear, hoping to experience Bai Ye's magic firsthand.
The light circled a few times, then suddenly stopped, illuminating a girl in the VIP section. She was slightly plump, wearing a light-colored dress with black stockings, her fair thighs marked by the tight stockings.
She wasn't conventionally beautiful but had an alluring older sister aura with her long hair.
Ah!!!
The lucky girl shrieked and then rose, walking towards the central stage area. The surrounding 200,000 live audience focused on her, letting out envious cries.
Bai Ye, riding the Qilin, moved to the VIP section where the lucky girl was. The Snow King walked beside him.
Tap!
With a crisp, stylish snap of his fingers, the nearby Snow King slightly bent down. With both hands, it embraced the lucky girl and placed her on the Qilin's back.
Waaaaah!!!
The girl screamed with surprise and excitement, tightly hugging Bai Ye's waist.
What's your name?
Zheng Xin!
The lucky girl's voice was transmitted to the entire audience through Bai Ye's microphone. Everyone remembered this girl!
Ahhh!!!
Then, deafening roars erupted from the entire venue! Cheers from the girls!
Zheng Xin, let go of my husband! Let me have a turn!
Wuwu! Did she save the Milky Way in her past life?
A nice name!
Bai Ye smiled gently, and the lucky girl's face flushed with excitement.
Zheng Xin, she's the number one fan in his live stream, her online alias is "Sister is Fierce!", and she has already sent him gifts worth ten million!
Bai Ye took her on a half-circle ride around the stage with the Qilin, returning the Snow King and the Qilin to their original positions.
Don't be nervous.
Mm~
He put his arm around her waist, feeling a soft, slightly plump sensation. Zheng Xin trembled at his embrace, her face flushed with excitement, her mind a jumble of nerves.
This inflatable Qilin is so stiff!
Young Brother Ye's abs are so firm.
Want to experience the Floating Spell?
Mm~
Zheng Xin responded without hesitation.
As soon as the words fell, Bai Ye, holding her, slowly ascended. The surroundings erupted in another wave of commotion.
Zheng Xin, tightly hugging Bai Ye, looked around in wonder.
This… this is too magical?
How did we fly?
Is this… magic?
Zheng Xin asked in a voice as faint as a mosquito, reaching out with an free hand to feel around for any support.
Bai Ye's expression was calm, and he casually turned off the microphone near his ear.
What magic? It's just props. There are strings pulling us.
Zheng Xin nodded, her head fuzzy, as Bai Ye held her waist and hand. By the time she registered what was happening, they were already on the stage.
The next magic trick is called Temporal Displacement. It's very simple; it's just making Miss Zheng on stage disappear to below the stage.
Bai Ye said, turning on the microphone.
Ahhh! Brother Ye, my turn!
This is the first time Brother Ye is using someone as a subject for his magic, isn't it?
Now, that girl probably knows Brother Ye's magic secret!
Find all the information about that girl within three minutes!
Everyone was excited.
And Bai Ye, taking Zheng Xin to the center of the stage.
Are you ready?
Looking at Bai Ye's handsome face, Zheng Xin nodded nervously and excitedly.
Mhm!
Bai Ye took a handkerchief from his chest pocket and showed it to the surrounding audience.
Then, with a casual flick, the small handkerchief flying in the air suddenly transformed into a large, square white cloth, which then drifted downwards.
As the white cloth completely fell, it adhered tightly to the stage floor everywhere, completely obscuring them both.
A staff member ran over, collected the white cloth, and the stage was empty.
Holy crap!!
Where are Brother Ye and that girl?
Ahhh! Did Brother Ye elope with that girl? Take me with you!!!
The entire audience witnessed it firsthand, causing a sensation.
Below the stage, in a small compartment, the light was dim.
How was it? Do you believe in science now?
Bai Ye looked at Zheng Xin with a slight, roguish smile.
After the white cloth fell, obscuring everyone's view, he had opened a stage mechanism, and they both dropped from the center of the stage into this compartment.
Pfft~ I didn't expect that your magical tricks, Young Brother Ye, were also so simple!
Zheng Xin nodded. Recalling how the boys before her had always been suspicious, even suspecting Bai Ye of using magic, she couldn't help but laugh.
Let's go!
We have half a minute to complete this magic trick. Can you cooperate?
Zheng Xin's eyes flickered, a mischievous glint appearing in them.
I can't run fast, so you'll have to carry me. Da Feng Novel Network
Bai Ye rubbed his nose and, without hesitation, picked her up and ran towards the secret passage.
Quite heavy!
Zheng Xin hooked her arms around Bai Ye's neck.
Young Brother Ye, performing magic is so tiring, why don't you come with Sister? Whatever you want, Sister can give it to you!
Don't worry! Sister really likes you and won't toy with your feelings!
As long as you agree, Sister swears she will only love you.
Bai Ye shook his head slightly and quickened his pace. A dead wall loomed ahead.
Young Brother Ye???
Seeing the dead wall, Zheng Xin stopped teasing Bai Ye and cried out in surprise.
Don't worry, Miss Zheng. This is a secret door.
As his voice fell, a ball of flame appeared in front of them. Bai Ye, wrapping Zheng Xin in his long robe, leaped into the fiery mass.
Where's Brother Ye?
Outside the venue, countless people peered around, lights searching everywhere. Meanwhile, Bai Ye's drone flew towards the east stage.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, the ground outside the stage ignited, forming a large fiery portal.
The audience gasped. The next moment, the fiery portal opened, and a white figure leaped out.
Wow!!!
Brother Ye!!!
sigma;(っdeg;Дdeg;;)っ Holy crap!!!
[Long chapter, right? Yes, it's two chapters combined. Note: The concert is also nearing its end here.]
