Chapter 34: The Dark Clouds Disperse!

The police's intention in relaying the news was to put the child's mother's mind at ease first.

Little did they know, it would stir up a massive storm!

Combining the police's description with the footage they were seeing, the viewers in the livestream couldn't help but link the two events together!

On one side was a man dressed as a deity, appearing like the manifestation of the God of Thunder. Just moments ago, the streamer had been performing hand seals and chanting incantations with his eyes half-closed.

On the other side were the fleeing human traffickers. Just as they were about to escape the police's sight, a bolt of divine thunder descended from the heavens, smashing their vehicle to pieces!

To call this a coincidence?

That would be utterly unconvincing!

One must realize that even in heavy rainstorms, a lightning strike destroying a car is an extremely rare occurrence. Moreover, it was merely an overcast day outside. Although there had been a few claps of thunder, the number of lightning strikes had been negligible. Not even a single drop of rain had fallen!

Under such circumstances, how could the traffickers' car be struck by lightning?!

This didn't look like an accident... it looked as if that lightning had clearly been aimed straight at them!

Consequently, as soon as the police news broke, the livestream exploded! Countless viewers flooded the chat with scrolling comments

"What? The traffickers' car was struck by lightning??"

"Holy crap... seriously?!"

"In all my life, I've never heard of a criminal gang being taken down by a lightning bolt!"

"And don't you guys think this is way too coincidental?!"

"Yeah! It's too damn coincidental! It's so coincidental it feels supernatural!"

"Didn't you all see the streamer performing hand seals and chanting incantations just now?"

As these comments poured in, the netizens in the livestream engaged in endless debate.

"Exactly! I was wondering about that earlier. The streamer said he just wanted to help find the person?"

"But when people calculate directions, they usually just use their fingers to count. Who uses complex hand seals like that??"

"Right! The hand signs the streamer was making just now... they looked incredibly profound."

"It didn't look like he was faking it either; it seemed like there was actually some substance to it!"

"...Not only that, he even asked the boy's mother for his birth details!"

"And besides everything else, just look at the streamer... he looks like the God of Thunder has come to life from a temple!"

"That lightning... could it actually be related to the streamer?!"

Amidst the heated discussion in the livestream, there were voices of agreement, but naturally, there were also voices of dissent.

When they saw netizens suspecting a connection between the sudden lightning strike and Lin Nan, a segment of the audience met these speculations with disdain.

Although they also felt it was difficult for lightning to intercept a moving vehicle, and even more improbable to destroy a fleeing car—an event even more unlikely than winning the lottery—they still found these claims to be pure fantasy. They even thought these people were being ridiculous. How could anyone believe such a thing?

Thus, another wave of voices emerged in the livestream

"Huh?? You mean to say..."

"The lightning that stopped the traffickers was caused by the streamer??"

"How is that possible? You guys really think he's a god just because he's cosplaying?"

"Bro, stop joking. We live in a scientific age, don't play around..."

However, when they saw Lin Nan's figure appear in the camera frame once more—clad in celestial armor and colorful robes, exuding a magnificent divine aura—their skepticism wavered. His half-closed eyes and the subtle movement of his pupils made him look incredibly convincing.

For a moment, even the doubting netizens began to feel uneasy.

"Hiss... is the streamer still acting?"

"But the costume is too perfect. Could there actually be something to it?"

While these netizens maintained their skeptical stance, Wang Chengyu watched the surging popularity in the livestream and witnessed the various speculations. He thought to himself that these netizens really had wild imaginations, actually suspecting that Brother Nan had summoned that lightning!

"Phew..."

Just then, Lin Nan let out a long breath. His consciousness gradually withdrew from the state of performing the Purple Cloud Divine Thunder Technique.

Seeing that Lin Nan was finally moving and that his eyes were slowly opening, Wang Chengyu took two steps forward, aimed the camera at Lin Nan, and teased

"Hehe, Brother Nan, look how much our viewers are speculating. A lot of people are saying that the lightning that smashed the van was a spell you just cast!"

However, as soon as Wang Chengyu's voice fell, the next thing that happened plunged the entire broadcasting room into silence.

As Wang Chengyu was joking, several beams of light suddenly shone from behind him. The brilliant light pierced through the windows from ten thousand meters in the sky, flooding the room like a sudden curtain of light, illuminating the entire broadcasting room!

The people in the room were long accustomed to the dim light of overcast days. The sudden brightness made it difficult for them to even open their eyes.

"What's going on... who turned on the lights?" Wang Chengyu muttered, shielding his eyes from the glare.

The others in the room were equally caught off guard. But they soon realized the reason, as the long-awaited summer heat flooded into the room in a short span of time!

The sunlight was once again baking the earth, and the dark clouds that had been blocking it were dispersing. Noticing this, Ye Qing pointed toward the clear sky outside

"Look, the sun is out!"

As Ye Qing spoke, Jiang Tao and Wang Chengyu stared at each other in disbelief. They hurried to the window, and upon seeing the red sun in the sky and the surrounding clouds receding, they exclaimed in astonishment

"Wait, why did the weather... suddenly clear up??"

"Where did all those clouds that were piled in the sky go?? Why did they all vanish so suddenly?"

Amidst Jiang Tao's bewildered voice, Wang Chengyu also raised his phone to point at the sky outside.

"Friends, you saw that too, right??"

"Those thick clouds just vanished out of nowhere?"

"Damn, I thought we were going to have a heavy rain, but not even a single drop fell!"

As Wang Chengyu spoke, the people present seemed to recall something. Their expressions turned strange, and finally, their attention landed on Lin Nan.

The netizens in the livestream seemed to share the same thought, speculating wildly

"Hiss... if I remember correctly..."

"It seems that when the sky turned dark just now, it was when the streamer was performing his incantations!"

"And now that the streamer has moved, the clouds have all vanished?!"

"Good heavens... even the Rain God Xiao Jingteng isn't as powerful as you!"

What a wild imagination—this is worth watching!
