The mountain forests are lush and verdant, with branches and leaves intertwined. A gentle breeze rustles through the trees, and the plants are full of life. The surroundings are quiet and peaceful, and the scenery is gentle and serene.

This beautiful natural scenic area has always been a popular spot for relaxation around the city. However, this seemingly livable mountain forest area has recently seen a series of missing tourists, and strange rumors are spreading. No one can say for sure what is hidden in these mountains.

In the afternoon, after Yun Yu and Su Mo had rested, Su Mo rode her motorcycle with Yun Yu on the back all the way to the entrance of the scenic area. After parking the motorcycle, she casually took off her helmet, shook her hair, and turned to look at Yun Yu, who had just gotten off the motorcycle, her tone slightly teasing:

"Why did you suddenly decide to come here? Do you have a crush on me and deliberately followed me to this secluded place?"

Yun Yu completely ignored the teasing in her words, and with a serious expression, honestly gave her reasons:

"I've just recently become interested in the paranormal disappearances around here, so I wanted to come and see for myself."

Hearing this answer, Su Mo waited a while longer, and when she realized that the boy didn't seem to intend to answer the second half of her question, she shook her head helplessly.

He hung the helmet on the motorcycle handlebars, then walked up to Yun Yu and reached out his hand.

Give me the backpack you're carrying.

Yun Yu immediately snapped out of her daze and quickly handed over the heavy backpack she was carrying.

After all, Su Mo had specially driven him here to investigate the site, and he had hitched a ride with her the whole time. He was embarrassed to suggest carrying the equipment himself.

Su Mo took the backpack, casually placed it on the ground, skillfully unzipped it, and took out the equipment one by one.

Professional cameras and recording equipment, along with all sorts of other professional gear, were laid out on the floor, making it look exceptionally professional.

Yun Yu squatted down to the side, looking at these instruments that she couldn't understand at all, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "What are these things used for? They look so advanced."

Su Mo raised her hand to her chin and thought for a moment. To make sure he understood, she explained in the simplest terms: "You can think of it as something specifically used to detect the direction of the paranormal events you're talking about."

As expected of a professional journalist, he explained it in a simple and easy-to-understand way. Yun Yu immediately understood the purpose of these devices. They were probably the so-called spirit detection devices.

While Su Mo was focused on adjusting the equipment, Yun Yu stood quietly and carefully observed her surroundings.

Everything that could be seen with the naked eye was perfectly normal. The mountains and forests were quiet, and there was no wind or unusual movement in the vegetation. There was absolutely no sign of anything strange that could have caused the tourists to disappear.

  

Just when he couldn't figure it out, Su Mo finally finished debugging, all the devices successfully turned on, and the screen data began to fluctuate normally. Looking at the high-tech instruments, Yun Yu couldn't help but sincerely admire them:

"Wow, the power of science is amazing!"

Su Mo was amused by his words and teased him while checking the data, "Can you tone down that Pokémon-style praise? Be careful you don't blow up the detector."

She had only made a casual joke, but as soon as she finished speaking, the magnetic field detector on the ground suddenly emitted a piercing buzzing sound.

The instrument screen displayed garbled characters, the signal antenna at the top spun rapidly, and finally froze, pointing firmly to the deep mountains and dense forests due north.

Su Mo's expression instantly turned serious. "There's a reaction! The magnetic anomalies are all concentrated in the north. We'll explore in that direction later."

Yun Yu looked up in the direction the antenna was pointing, and at that moment, his eyes lit up uncontrollably, his pupils instantly transforming into tiny, dazzling stars.

Instantly ignoring the layers of dense forest, it pierced through the thick mountains and forests, looking towards the end of the mountain road in the distance.

On a remote mountain road, a private car is slowly driving, its front facing directly at this deep mountain area with an abnormal magnetic field. Above the road in front of the car, a hazy and soft rainbow stretches across the sky.

The scene flashed by in an instant.

Yun Yu snapped back to his senses, his eyes returning to normal, and he hurriedly looked up at the northern sky.

Sure enough, a faint rainbow floated above the distant mountains and forests, looking gentle and ordinary, not at all like a dangerous or strange phenomenon.

"There's a rainbow in the sky!" Yun Yu said anxiously.

Su Mo casually glanced up and down, her expression completely unfazed: "The mountains are humid, so it's normal for fog and rainbows to appear; it's nothing strange."

Having spent years on fieldwork and reporting on forest news, she was already accustomed to this kind of natural scenery.

"No, this isn't a normal rainbow!" Yun Yu immediately exclaimed, her voice urgent. "Look closely at the colors; the color bands of this rainbow are completely reversed!"

Upon hearing this, Su Mo was startled and looked up to observe carefully.

A normal rainbow has red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and violet arranged from the outside in. But the rainbow in front of me has completely disordered colors and reversed order, which violates all common sense about nature.

This is definitely not a naturally occurring celestial phenomenon!

Su Mo's expression instantly turned serious. She immediately raised her hand to take out her camera to record this strange phenomenon, but before she could press the shutter, Yun Yu was already extremely anxious:

"Stop filming! Pack up your equipment! Contact the CEA immediately!"

Su Mo paused, her face full of confusion:

"What's wrong? Why the sudden rush?"

"I see it!" Yun Yu spoke rapidly, "A car is heading towards the rainbow, about to enter the abnormal area!"

Although she didn't know how Yun Yu saw the car when there were trees all around, she believed that Yun Yu wouldn't joke around at a time like this. Since he spoke in such a hurry, there must be something going on.

Her professionalism prevented her from hesitating further, and she immediately and decisively assigned tasks: "You take my motorcycle and chase after that car to stop it! I'll stay here, pack up the equipment, and report the situation to the CEA."

Without the slightest hesitation, Yun Yu nodded in agreement, mounted the motorcycle, and immediately twisted the throttle to the floor.

The motorcycle roared to life, hurtling down the mountain road and speeding through the trees on either side, racing all the way.

He chased after it at full speed, sticking his head out and shouting loudly.

"The car in front! Stop right there! Don't go any further!"

The wind howled along the mountain road, and just as the motorcycle was about to enter the rainbow's coverage area, Yunyu's motorcycle paused slightly.

He clearly felt as if he were passing through an invisible membrane, the sensation strange and eerie, like passing through water or crossing a spatial barrier.

After a moment of disorientation, the surrounding air, the sound of the wind, and the temperature all subtly changed.

Yun Yu instantly realized that he had entered an alternate dimension shrouded in an inverted rainbow.

The car in front seemed to have sensed something was wrong. The car, which had been moving at a steady speed, gradually slowed down, and the speed became slower and slower, as if the driver had also noticed that the road ahead was eerie and sinister.

Yun Yu gritted her teeth and accelerated again. She was only ten meters away from the rear of the car and was about to catch up with the other car.

But at this critical moment, the eerie, upside-down rainbow overhead seemed to have been triggered by some mechanism by the intruder.

The vibrant colors began to fade rapidly, the halo dissipated layer by layer, and the strange phenomenon in the entire sky was disappearing completely at an extremely fast speed.

Can you guess what kind of monster it is? It's not an obscure monster.
