Secondly, I suddenly recalled a very likely similar event in my mind.
Similarly, in the Sacred Tree Barrier, after the World Tree separated from the city, it left behind a fictional image. After being deliberately blocked by someone, it truly disappeared for a considerable period of time, causing quite a bit of panic.
Later, I discovered a similar technique in another academy teacher who was involved in an incident with the Star Cultists, specifically someone who seemed to belong to a different faction than Stanley, and who then mysteriously disappeared.
The method used at the time, if I remember correctly, was called [simulated illusion].
To create a false illusion that is indistinguishable from reality, and use it to replace the real thing.
Real things...
I subconsciously focused my gaze on the empty podium below, squinted and stared for a while, then frowned deeply.
Although Sheng had lingered nearby for a while before, I never actually saw him confirm whether the sacred disc still existed on the stone platform.
Furthermore, even if I saw him confirm it from another angle, was what I saw at the time really the truth?
You must understand that there is a magical flow here that can cause unsettling fluctuations that can trigger hallucinations. If it was already set up here before we entered, then even the confirmation we just made could very well be just the result left over after the brain processes a fabricated hallucination.
If that's the case, then it's undoubtedly correct that the stolen sacred disc will be revealed after the illusion that's trapping everyone is broken.

With that thought in mind, I made up my mind, quickly walked through the scattered crowd on the ground, and stepped onto the stone steps, approaching the edge of the quiet stone platform.
Reaching out and placing my hand on it, just as I see now, it feels as light as air, completely weightless. The cool, hard stone gently rubs against my fingertips as they pass over them, yet I still cannot discern the falseness within.
but.
"Ah, yes."
A slight smile played on her lips, and a soft sigh escaped from between her slightly parted lips.
The flaw eventually appeared.
In such close proximity.
I finally saw through the hidden truth.
