[Click here for the mystery behind the disappearance of the Crimson Moon—]
[The method behind the Crimson Moon's disappearance also involves physics. The process might be a bit complex, but we'll try to explain it as simply as possible (o^^)o]
[Before we explain how the Crimson Moon vanished, we need to understand a basic concept: "The human eye can only perceive visible light." With that in mind, things become much easier.]
[You need to understand—what we refer to as visible light includes all light that can enter our eyes. This light can be emitted naturally, like from the sun or stars, or it can be reflected, like in mirrors. So let's ask: what happens if there's no light emitted or reflected?]
[Exactly! Some of you probably guessed it—our eyes wouldn't be able to see it at all.]
[And with that clue, many of you probably already figured it out: yes, Su Shen blocked the reflected light of the Crimson Moon!]
[What Su Shen placed under the display at the beginning was a miniature spectrum filter. This kind of device can selectively filter out specific wavelengths of light in the surroundings.]
[During the live stream, Su Shen clearly filtered out the red light emitted by the Crimson Moon, along with other ambient lighting reflections. As a result, what everyone saw—was nothing! Hence, the illusion that it vanished. Easy to understand, right?]
This segment explaining the disappearance of the Crimson Moon was clearly more complex than any stage magic trick.
Many viewers were stunned after reading it.
[Wait, wait, wait… You're telling me this is possible?! He used a spectral filter to block the light from the Crimson Moon, so we couldn't see it—creating the illusion that it disappeared?!]
[Oh my god! How did Su Shen even come up with this? This is beyond insane!]
[How can a carbon-based lifeform even do something like this?!]
[This is another form of magic—deceiving the pursuers with optics!]
[That's it, I'm done for. I've fallen for this man completely. Su Shen… seems to know everything!]
[The pursuers lost fair and square. Su Shen is truly legendary—yyds*!]
(*"yyds" is Chinese internet slang for "eternal god" or "the greatest of all time.")
Once they understood the explanation, countless commenters were left speechless in awe.
Who would have thought Su Shen would steal the Crimson Moon using such a completely unimaginable method?
It looked like the gem disappeared—but it was still sitting right there in the display!
And as this popular science post exploded online, everyone became aware of how it all happened.
This revelation sparked an even bigger storm.
[God! Absolute god-tier! A man like a deity!]
[Su Shen, you truly live up to the title! I wasn't even interested in this kind of show at first—I thought it was all scripted. But now... I kneel.]
[Waaah, I've fallen so hard for Su Shen. A man who knows everything… being in a relationship with him would be effortless.]
[I strongly suspect I'm Su Shen's long-lost little brother.]
[Huh? What do you mean?]
[His name is Su Yu. Mine's Su Mao. Sounds like a sibling situation, right?]
Online, Su Yu's sleight-of-hand and his theft of the Crimson Moon had caused an overwhelming surge of attention.
At the same time, the Dragon Science Institute's Physics Department made another announcement:
[We must say, Su Shen is a true prodigy across many fields—including physics. Incidentally, our lab has an ongoing research project on spectral shielding for stealth purposes. After the show ends, we'd love the chance to collaborate with Su Shen—]
Once this was released, the internet exploded again.
[Incredible! Even the Dragon Institute of Physics is offering Su Shen an olive branch?!]
[Unbelievable! I'm a physics grad student at Tsinghua—Su Shen's spectral filter is self-built, and it already produces these results! It's on par with leading international research. Give him resources, and he could do even more!]
[Oh my god, I'm dying to know what other secrets this man is hiding!]
[A godlike man!]
The internet was ablaze with discussion.
Meanwhile, at the Pursuer Command Center—
"So that's how it was."
Qi Haiming rubbed his temples and sat back in his chair with a bitter smile.
The other four looked equally dumbfounded.
Just moments ago, they had also seen the explanation article.
And after reading it, they were all left stunned.
Su Yu… had taken the Crimson Moon right under their noses using that method?!
This was just—
"Damn it!!"
Wang Tao burst into swearing.
"I'm finding it harder and harder to understand this guy. Is he even human?!"
At his words, the others sighed deeply.
They had just finished a rough timeline analysis.
And now, this explanation filled in all the remaining gaps.
The whole operation was shockingly simple:
11:15 AM
The magic show begins. Su Yu lures Wang Tao away.
In reality, he uses a decoy to escape Wang Tao and knocks out a pursuer to take their uniform.
11:50 AM
Su Yu cuts the power lines and uses the chaos to enter the third floor.
11:55 AM
Power is restored. The Crimson Moon is gone. The team rushes out to chase.
12:00 PM
Su Yu takes the real Crimson Moon. Alarm is triggered.
Everything after that?
Pointless.
Because from that point on, Su Yu was simply leading them by the nose.
Or rather, he had been playing them from the very beginning.
From the stage show, they were already falling into his trap.
Part of their forces were diverted chasing shadows.
And they had no idea he'd already slipped away.
Then came the blackout and sneaking into the museum, the staged "disappearance" of the Crimson Moon...
Then he lured them to the East Sea Building.
Three parts. One perfect con.
They were all completely played—like headless chickens running in circles, and they achieved nothing.
This slap in the face had left the entire pursuer team in shambles.
Before, they were certain that Su Yu had walked into a trap.
But now, Su Yu had proven to everyone:
It was all useless.
All their preparations and strategies—pointless, superficial tricks in Su Yu's eyes.
Even the ten men they stationed ahead of time? Useless from start to finish!
"I've become a joke."
Qi Haiming laughed bitterly.
He'd even taunted Su Yu online before, posting those four bold words: "A trap awaits you."
Back then, he was so confident.
But now—
Reality hit hard.
"Hahaha, I'm an even bigger joke than you."
Wang Tao chuckled, lighting a cigarette.
But anyone could see the frustration in his eyes.
Zhang Mingshan looked at the group and shook his head.
"Enough blaming each other. We're all jokes right now. Until we catch Su Yu—we stay jokes."
"Instead of wallowing here, we should think about how to catch him!"
As he said that, a sharp gleam lit up in Zhang Mingshan's eyes.
His slightly slumped posture straightened, and his whole demeanor changed, full of renewed energy.
"Do you still have the will?"
Zhang Mingshan looked at everyone.
The others paused, stunned.
Then, one by one, their spirits reignited.
The dying embers in their hearts sparked to life.
If they'd felt hopeless before, Zhang Mingshan's words snapped them out of it.
Arguing? What's the point?
As long as Su Yu remained free—they were all jokes.
All past honors would be tainted by the fact that Su Yu hadn't been caught.
In that moment, all five were united in one goal:
Catch Su Yu.
They were all elite professionals. How could they stomach being humiliated so completely?
Impossible.
"Looks like you all feel the same way I do," Zhang Mingshan said.
Wang Tao crushed his cigarette, eyes narrowing.
"I, Wang Tao, have only one thought in my head now."
"Catch that terrifying man!"
"Same," Qi Haiming pushed up his glasses.
"Me too."
"Count me in!"
Zhao Wanqing and Li Kai both nodded, eyes flashing with excitement.
Everyone could see that in that moment, the entire pursuit team had undergone a transformation.
From their initial arrogance and underestimation…
To shock, confusion, collapse, despair…
And now—reborn from the ashes, united with a single goal:
Su Yu.
He was now their sole target.
This was the new state of the pursuit team.
And in the live stream, countless viewers saw this transformation and were just as moved.
