Glorious God Throne

Chapter 18

Weewooo…

The alarm in Qingnan High School was blaring non-stop.

This was already the third time this week.

If the first time filled everyone with curiosity and a desire to investigate, the second time they were still surprised, by the third time, all that was left in people’s reactions was numbness.

Beyond numbness, there was a deep-seated fear.

In the school that was supposed to educate people, three murders had occurred in just one week.

One of them was a conflict that erupted without any warning. By the time others reacted, a person had already fallen in a pool of blood;

Another was a secretive murder that took place off-campus. If it weren’t for someone who happened to discover the body, the murderer might still be attending classes in the school as if nothing had happened, and the deceased, due to his past record of truancy, would only be thought to have skipped class and disappeared again;

Now, another murder had happened without any warning.

Although none of the guys who died were worth sympathizing with, among their classmates, either they were the ones who had been humiliated and oppressed by them, or they were accomplices who had colluded with them. No one would genuinely feel sad for them.

Perhaps some even felt a heartfelt delight.

But the frequent occurrence of murders still made people feel sorrowful.

It was as if an invisible ghost was hovering over the campus, leading these people to a dead end.

It spread fear wantonly, causing everyone to feel insecure.

At this time, no one had the mind to care about the transparent person who had always been treated as a joke and a toy, even those who were very keen on using him for leisure and entertainment on ordinary days.

Bai Yi, holding the fat cat, was moving through the panicked campus. He was like a ghost invisible among the crowd.

The intense spiritual fluctuations from all directions surged towards him, and endless panic wove into a vortex that pulled at him.

He silently looked at these faces, each like a palette.

Even though the school had already strengthened its measures, and teachers repeatedly soothed everyone’s emotions, the most hot-tempered guys on ordinary days began to learn restraint, yet bizarre incidents were still happening.

The person manipulating all of this behind the scenes was not surprised.

In this world, even the most honest and timid guys have a day when they wield a butcher’s knife, biological fathers and sons can turn against each other, loving couples can kill each other… it all depends on whether there is a motive that makes you determined to risk everything.

– And just so, he could give everyone a motive.

– He knew everyone’s important or unimportant secrets, and had control over everyone’s biggest weakness.

Over the course of half a month, Qingnan High School had frequent murders.

No matter how they investigated, it was all coincidental. All the murderers calmly admitted that their actions were from their hearts, there was no one behind the scenes directing them, because the deceased had touched their untouchable scales.

For a time, Qingnan High School had almost become the location for countless horror novels. Some people even thought that there was some terrible curse here.

One could imagine that perhaps many years later, many people would still have the “Seven Legends of the Campus” related to it.

Under the tremendous pressure of public opinion, the school had no choice but to announce a temporary holiday and let the students go home.

Bai Yi was slowly mingling in the crowd leaving the school, suddenly he slightly turned his head and looked at a big tree next to the school gate.

A cat as fat as a black dumpling was lying on the tree, its round eyes met the young man’s gaze.

“Yo!” Bai Yi waved at it in greeting.

“Meow~” The cat responded to him.

“So, see you in the next loop~”

At the end of this loop, Bai Yi decided to start a new save.

Even though he could submit the results of this loop directly, he was 100% sure he could successfully clear the game and get a high evaluation.

But Bai Yi suddenly realized that he seemed to be acting foolishly.

– Tailoring a script for each person based on their weaknesses, making everyone obey his will and let him manipulate them, indeed could hide himself very well, but the efficiency was too low.

After all, the design of each script required time and effort, which made the game time long and boring.

He suddenly realized that he didn’t have to be so cautious, pursuing a flawless script.

The difference between games and reality is that he doesn’t have to be careful every step of the way, avoiding any mistakes. Because it doesn’t matter if there are loopholes, having fun is the most important!

At the start of the new loop, Bai Yi decided to change his approach.

Once again waking up in the bathroom, he was not in a hurry at all, leisurely washing his hands and face, making himself clean.

The moment he pushed the door and came out, Bai Yi snapped his fingers.

“I’ve decided, this is the last loop!”

****

With only an hour and a half left before school was out in the afternoon, in the middle of class, the young man with water stains on his clothes hurried back to the classroom of sophomore year Class 7.

No one expressed anything about this.

Jingchuan, who was originally bored and hiding in the back playing with his phone, noticed this scene, and a smile spread across his face.

Just as the young man was passing by him, he stretched out a leg and blocked the other’s path.

If it were in the past, this guy would most likely have been tripped.

But today, this waste managed to dodge it agilely.

This made Jingchuan feel a bit upset, and he glared at the other fiercely. Due to the ongoing class, he didn’t do anything.

“Darn it!” At that moment, the game ended, and Jingchuan lost. He furiously tapped on his phone, spewing a string of trash talk at his opponent before angrily quitting the game.

The failure in the game left Jingchuan with a belly full of anger, and he wanted to find some fun elsewhere.

As soon as the bell rang for the end of class, he turned around, casting a malicious gaze towards the last row of the classroom, at the guy who was sitting with his head down, not knowing what he was doing.

He was just about to get up when his phone suddenly vibrated silently.

Jingchuan took out his phone, only to find a message from a stranger on the screen.

At the same time, the other students all did the same thing as him, which was to look down and check their phones.

– In this school where discipline was not strict, bringing a phone to school was the norm for everyone.

The same content appeared on everyone’s screens.

[Do you want to get to know the real you?]

“Which guy is messing around? Boring!”

Upon seeing this nonsensical content, Jingchuan frowned. He was about to delete it when his phone started vibrating again.

[Let’s play a game!]

[I know the secrets of each and every one of you.]

[To prove that I’m not lying, each of you will receive two messages. The first one is your biggest secret, and the second one is the biggest secret of another person—I will randomly choose one person from among the others besides you. Conversely, your secret may also appear in someone else’s phone in this way~]

The content of these messages left everyone stunned.

The classroom suddenly became noisy.

“I seem to have received a prank text message, which guy is causing trouble?”

“I got the same thing here.”

“Are you kidding me? I don’t believe him!”

Amid the discussions and laughter of the crowd, the phone vibrated again.

Jingchuan, with a mindset of just playing around, clicked to open it.

The next moment, he subconsciously clenched his phone, blocking the screen.

[Your little angel-like sister, your whole family has been heartbroken over her accidental disappearance when she was six years old, and your family has been immersed in the shadow. But it wasn’t an accidental disappearance. It was intentional, you were jealous of her, you wanted her to disappear.]

“Who the hell is it…”

Jingchuan’s face changed dramatically.

His voice trembled with anger and fear. But he held his phone tightly, looking around like a thief.

As if trying to find the person hiding in the crowd, and as if afraid that his secret had already been exposed to the world.

And it was at this time that he realized that at least half of the people in the class had the same reaction as him, and although the reactions of the others were not as intense, they were not looking too good either.

Before he could think more, another message followed closely.

[Randomly selected: Fang Suo.]

[His secret is—At the age of fifteen, he went swimming with his best friend. During an argument, he pushed his best friend into the river and drowned him. But afterwards, as the only witness, he claimed that it was an accident caused by a slip of the foot, thus escaping punishment, and no one knew.]

“This!”

Jingchuan, who was originally both shocked and angry, suddenly widened his eyes, his face showing extreme shock.

…This was actually Boss Fang’s secret? That leader who always acted arrogantly and domineeringly in front of them, actually had such a deadly handle?

Now, the handle had fallen into his hands.

Jingchuan subconsciously looked in the direction of Boss Fang.

He saw the other party’s fierce gaze sweeping around, scanning each person with eyes full of threat and suspicion.

——The person he is looking for is me!

Jingchuan’s heart pounded, and he quickly lowered his head.

But he couldn’t help but think about whether he could use this secret to do something.

Especially when he thought about how he had always been submissive in front of Boss Fang in the past, like a lackey, but now, he had grasped the other’s fatal weakness…

A strange sense of excitement spread in his heart.

But when he lowered his head and saw the secret about himself, it was like a bucket of cold water poured on his head, making him shiver.

“I’m thinking this way now, won’t there be other people thinking about how to deal with me…Damn it, damn it! Damn bastard! Don’t let me know who’s messing around!”

He cursed the puppeteer behind the scenes.

At this moment, Jingchuan was just an insignificant member of the entire classroom. Most of the others had the same reaction as him.

Only a few people who hadn’t done anything guilty remained calm. Their secrets being exposed was just a matter of embarrassment.

So they were still able to deal with the secrets about others on their phones with the mentality of bystanders.

But these people were ultimately a minority.

The bell rang for class, and self-study began, but everyone was in no mood to study, their faces stiff and strange.

Some people started laughing.

“What era is this, and people are still playing this kind of prank! No way, no way, no one would really believe it, right?”

“Whoever believes it is a fool!”

“This joker is really boring…”

While saying they didn’t believe it, almost everyone subconsciously clenched their phones, quietly casting their eyes on the other people in the classroom, and the atmosphere unconsciously became strange.

The panic of worrying about their own secrets being leaked, and the excitement of having a handle on another person, clashed in their hearts, and everyone’s gaze towards others became flickering.

The phone started vibrating again.

This time, everyone opened it at the first moment.

[– Now, you who have grasped another person’s biggest secret, and your own secret is also held by someone you don’t know, what kind of performance will you have?]

[Is it to act as if nothing has happened, choose to maintain good character by keeping silent, or to use it without changing your expression? Do you trust yourself, and do you trust others?]

Everyone’s faces turned very ugly.

And the person behind the scenes didn’t let them go at all.

[People will never get to know their true selves. Until a special moment finally arrives.]

[– It’s time to open your chest and face yourself :)]

The smile at the end of the text message was like a clown’s funny face, mocking each and every one of them.

Knowing that the guy behind the scenes meant no good, but having to fall into his trap… This feeling was really terrible to the extreme!

Bai Yi sat in the last row, watching everyone’s reactions with interest. The surging and chaotic spiritual fluctuations around him undoubtedly indicated that these people were anything but calm inside.

He casually stuffed the phone he had picked up from a student wandering outside on his way back to the classroom into his pocket, looking forward to it.

The beginning had already been written, and the rest of the script depended on how these characters were prepared to improvise.

The unknown always fills people with interest!
