A ray of bright light shone into everyone’s eyes, the warm feeling instantly spreading throughout the body.
Everyone unconsciously looked up.
The rain had mostly stopped, and the dark clouds had almost completely dispersed.
Gentle sunlight filtered down through the remaining thin wisps of dark clouds to the ground.
For a moment, the sunlight not only dispersed the clouds in the sky but also the shadows in everyone’s hearts, making everyone feel much more relaxed.
And at that moment.
Many people noticed something strange at the horizon in the distance.
Above the thin wisps of dark clouds, amid the mist, there was a large expanse of vague and faintly visible light and shadows, like a projection directly cast into the air, indistinct and elusive, hidden within the sea of clouds.
"What’s going on over there?"
"Did you see that? Over there, it’s so strange."
"..."
Murmurs rose among the investigating police officers at the scene.
Hearing this, others also unconsciously looked over, attracted by the somewhat unusual sight at the horizon, unable to tear their gaze away for a moment.
At that precise moment, a thin cloud blocking the sun drifted away.
Sunlight scattered towards the sea of clouds.
The swirling mist gradually thinned, and the vague, faint light and shadows became much clearer and more distinct.
Through the vast mist, the scene within the light and shadows could be vaguely discerned.
Rather than simply light and shadows, it looked more like a 3D projection!
It was a forest!
The sky served as the ground!
Trees rooted in the golden sunlight, growing in the void.
"Is this..."
"A mirage??"
A policeman paused his work, exclaiming in surprise.
No sooner had he spoken.
The crime scene became abuzz with chatter.
"It really is a mirage!"
"So this is a mirage? I had only seen it in videos before, never thought I’d see it in person while out on a case. How lucky!"
"Is this mirage a forest?"
"This forest feels so mysterious for some reason!"
"..."
As they talked, the light and shadows became even clearer and more distinct.
At this moment, the sunlight was even more brilliant.
Meanwhile.
In the light and shadows.
A point of dazzling light appeared directly above, like a second sun in the sky at that moment.
Golden light scattered down from that brilliant point in beams, and amidst the beams, floating light particles fluttered down, sprinkling onto the forest.
"This is too... too amazing, isn’t it?"
"It looks so dreamlike."
"..."
Exclamations of amazement arose.
Everyone present was deeply captivated by the sudden change within the mirage.
Many of them took out their phones to start recording.
At this moment, the thin mist grew even thinner.
Though the mirage did not become any clearer or more distinct.
But...
As they watched, they suddenly noticed a blurry dark figure behind the mist.
"Huh?"
Everyone was stunned; the dark figure looked so much like a person!
Could it be...
There’s someone in the mirage?
Under their astonished gazes.
The thin mist quickly thinned to a mere layer, like early morning fog.
The dark figure also became clearer and more visible.
It was indeed a human figure!
The figure was very blurry, nothing could be seen clearly, only a rough outline, seemingly sitting cross-legged, and in front of it, something seemed to be standing upright.
Surrounded by swirling mist, it was hard to tell if it was sitting in the forest or on a cloud.
Above its head, brilliant golden light shone like strands of holy light!
Floating light particles fell around it.
Like the Exiled Immortal sitting cross-legged, with Purple Qi coming from the east.
