Glorious God Throne

Chapter 12

Although he had obtained a new card, Bai Yi did not consider himself a person who was fond of the new and tired of the old. Moreover, the card [Ghost in the Rainy Night] had not yet completed its mission.

As a person who had been forced to accept various chaotic information streams for a long time, good and bad, sweet and bitter, dirty and smelly, all crammed into his head, but still lived strongly to the present, his psychology was still normal, he had not become abnormal and he considered himself a very lively and positive good citizen, Bai Yi had always been committed to quietly eliminating those stinky garbage that would cause him mental pollution in his own way.

The old city area of today was an environment that he had worked hard for many years, carefully selected for himself, and built that was still acceptable.

But outside the old city area, those garbage that had once left a deep impression on Bai Yi and still emitted a stench, the progress of cleaning was extremely slow, and there was still too much waiting to be cleaned.

Before the Nightmare Game system went online, Bai Yi could only choose a slow and roundabout way.

But the launch of the system, and the appearance of the card [Ghost in the Rainy Night], made him realize that he seemed to have a simpler, more brutal, and more convenient and quick choice.

——A ghostly figure, unrelated to himself on the surface, killing as simple as eating and drinking, wasn’t it the most convenient choice for a big clean-up?

Therefore, he entered the Nightmare Game during the day these days, and Bai Yi was not idle at night.

Before going to sleep, he would always equip the [Ghost in the Rainy Night] card and walk around those “stinky garbage” that he had long noted in his notebook.

The characteristic of [Appearing Anytime in the Rainy Night] certainly restricted this card to only appear in the rainy night, but it also meant that as long as it was a place where it rained, he could appear at any time.

Bai Yi only needed to choose the location according to the weather that night, and he could throw this card into any place where it rained.

Because Bai Yi did not deliberately hide his tracks, in the past few days, many people have seen such a figure strolling on the streets of Yuanyang City at night.

Black clothes, black umbrella, light golden hair, an elegant temperament with an unclear face, these elements combined together were enough to make people impressed and couldn’t help but take a few more glances.

The Legend Degree rose slowly and subtly.

That night was no different.

As usual, Bai Yi controlled the [Ghost in the Rainy Night] card to make a round on the street, and Bai Yi [K] canceled the card equipment in a quiet corner without surveillance and disappeared on the spot.

On the second floor of the apartment in the old city area.

The illusory card condensed in the palm of his hand and slowly disappeared.

Bai Yi, lying on the bed, closed his eyes, ready to sleep.

Before falling asleep, he faintly heard the sound of a police siren outside the window.

Then, there was the noisy sound of every household hearing the movement and running out to watch the excitement. There were women’s screams, old people’s curses, and unbelievable cries.

Various information flowed, like leaves swept up by the wind, and came straight to Bai Yi’s crown.

“Oh, has the last garbage in this city been cleaned up…”

Bai Yi didn’t get up, but rolled around on the bed. Three seconds later, he couldn’t help but roll again.

In the extremely joyful mood, the noisy, chaotic, harsh and sharp sounds in his mind seemed to become much more pleasant, not so unbearable.

He fell asleep with a joyful mood.

……….

When Bai Yi opened the curtains against the daylight, he found that there were already quite a few people downstairs. According to these people’s usual biological clocks, half of them shouldn’t have gotten up so early.

He went downstairs, with that forever sleepy expression, and yawned a big yawn.

The young man’s long eyelashes still had two drops of water on them, and he looked around in confusion, “What happened? I went to bed very early yesterday, it seemed like there was a lot of noise outside.” If he acted indifferent to such a big noise, it would be a bit strange.

“Ah, you don’t know?” Sure enough, soon someone who likes to gossip slapped their thigh, they said in a tone as if Bai Yi had missed five million in his sleep, “Last night the police came and took away the couple from the Li family! Do you know why? I guess you can’t guess!”

Bai Yi shook his head very cooperatively.

Immediately, the other party became more interested, “Teacher Gu’s car accident was not an accident, it was calculated. That Xiao Zhang is the murderer! Who could have thought of that? Without any grudges, he looks so honest and decent on a regular basis, who could have thought that he dared to harm people like this!”

“What Xiao Zhang? His real name is Liu Quan!” Another old man came over, his voice was so loud that he wouldn’t need a loudspeaker anymore, “Didn’t you hear what the police said? He is a vicious fugitive who has been on the run for murder seven years ago.”

In the excitement, he raised his voice again, attracting everyone’s attention all at once, “——Such a murderer was hiding among us, usually honest and only knew to work hard, sometimes being scolded and not talking back, so many people laughed at him behind his back, who knew he was such a ruthless person? Now thinking about it, it’s scary!”

Other people were also scared, with a look of fear on their faces.

Some people couldn’t help their curiosity, “Why did he suddenly attack Teacher Gu for no reason? He’s been hiding for seven years, why suddenly so impulsive?”

“What do we know about the thoughts of a murderer? Maybe he just couldn’t help it, wanting to kill someone.”

Suddenly such a big thing happened, the residents of the old city area were all uneasy, plus the human nature of gossip, at this time they gathered together and started talking. Bai Yi was completely forgotten.

At this time, someone shouted, “They’re fighting, they’re fighting! Old Gu and them are fighting with Xiao Li!”

Someone ran over from the other end of the street, shouting as they ran, the voice came from afar. The crowd immediately scattered, swarming towards the direction the person was running from.

Bai Yi was walking at the back, a distance away, taking his time.

By the time he arrived, the three people who were fighting had been pulled apart by others, but they were all disheveled and in a sorry state.

The lady boss with the surname Li, whom he had met just a few days ago, had several scratches on her face and arm from fingernails. Across from her, the white-haired old man Gu and old lady Gu were not much better, completely lacking the elegance of the former teacher, and instead looked somewhat mad.

The old lady was struggling and still crying out, “Give me back my son,” “It’s your man who killed my son,” and so on.

The others, who hadn’t been held back, rushed up to fight again.

Bai Yi looked at the few people who were fighting together, then looked at the shop behind him with the door half-closed, and the empty shelves that could be vaguely seen through the crack in the door. On normal days, the shelves were always filled with the freshest and most vibrant fruits and vegetables.

He pushed up the non-existent glasses on his nose bridge, pondered for three seconds, and concluded seriously, “…It seems that I won’t be able to buy vegetables today.”

“——Then I can only make do with cooking some noodles.”

Regretfully shaking his head, Bai Yi turned around and left.

His gaze inadvertently swept over the crowd, and he saw a girl standing alone outside the crowd, looking confused and shocked.

“Liu Quan, on March 9, 2017, you broke into a house in Huayin City and killed a family of four, then fled.”

“On June 17, 2024, you planned a car accident to kill a teacher from the city’s No.1 Middle School, Gu Fangyou. You admit all of this, right?”

In the police station, an old policeman in his forties, with a stern expression, was flipping through the interrogation record and speaking.

“——Seven years later, why did you choose to attack Gu Fangyou? What is your motive for murder?”

“…Why?”

The man sitting across slowly raised his head, his tone unwilling.

“Who let him discover my identity!”

“I just want to live a peaceful life now, he wants to destroy all of this, I can only choose to kill him.”

——Hmm???

——Already discovered the identity of the fugitive, didn’t report it at the first time, but let the other party notice and counter-kill?

The experienced old policeman keenly realized that something was wrong here, “Explain in detail from start to finish, starting with how you knew that Gu Fangyou discovered your identity.”

****

Meanwhile, Bai Yi had a simple lunch and logged into the Nightmare Game again.

His consciousness surfaced from the deep sea and woke up in the nightmare.

He noticed that this body was sore all over, curled up on the ground in a self-protective posture, his head dizzy.

The system’s narration appeared in time——

[You are an ordinary boy with no special features. Average looks, average grades, nothing stands out. You have spent the sixteen years of your life in mediocrity, enduring your father’s scolding and endless bullying from others.]

[You are the joke, toy, and punching bag in many people’s hearts. Your existence has entertained their cheap and boring lives, enriching their extracurricular life.]

[This day, you finally made up your mind to change yourself, the first step is to hone your courage and guts.]

[You decide to casually kill someone.]

The narration got to this point, a low whisper like a horror game voiceover murmured in his ear, revealing a bit of unwillingness and madness.

“Anyone will do…”

“I’ve had enough——”

[Task: Casually kill someone.]

[Task completion degree is judged by the method of murder, the probability of being identified as the murderer, and the probability of being arrested.]
