Throne of Radiance

Chapter 18 The Man in the Shadows V

"Ugh..."

The siren blared continuously in Qingnan High School.

This is the third time this week.

If everyone was full of curiosity and desire to explore the first time, they were still surprised the second time, and by the third time, everyone's reaction was nothing but numbness.

In addition to numbness, it is more of a deep fear.

In a school that was supposed to teach and educate people, three murders occurred in just one week.

One of them was a conflict that broke out without warning, and by the time the others reacted, one person had already fallen in a pool of blood;

The other was a secret murder that happened outside the school. If someone hadn’t happened to discover the body, the murderer might still be attending classes at school. The deceased would only be thought of as another skipping class because of his bad record of skipping classes many times in the past. Missing;

Now, another murder happened without warning.

The teachers and students of Qingnan High School were deeply puzzled by this.

Although none of these guys who died deserved sympathy, among their classmates, they were either the ones they humiliated and oppressed, or they were their accomplices, no one would really feel sorry for them.

Maybe some people feel happy from the bottom of their hearts.

But the frequent homicides still make people sad.

It seems that there is an invisible ghost hovering over the campus, leading these people to a dead end.

He spread fear indiscriminately, making everyone feel insecure.

At this time, no one cared about the transparent person who had been regarded as a joke and a toy, even the person who was very keen to use him for leisure and entertainment on weekdays.

Holding Fat Cat in her arms, Bai Yi shuttled through the panicked campus.Like a ghost hidden in the crowd.

Violent ups and downs of mental fluctuations surged towards him in all directions, and endless panic wove into a vortex and pulled him.

He silently looked at the palette-like faces.

Even though the school has stepped up measures and the teacher has repeatedly calmed down everyone's emotions, even the hottest guys on weekdays have begun to learn to restrain themselves, and bizarre incidents are still happening.

The man behind all this is not surprising.

In this world, even the most honest and cowardly guy will have a day when he wields a butcher's knife, his own father and son will turn against each other, and loving couples will kill each other... It just depends on whether there is a motive that makes you determined to risk everything.

—and it just so happens that he can give motivation to everyone.

——He knows everyone's important and unimportant secrets, and masters everyone's greatest weakness.

For half a month, there were frequent murders in Qingnan High School.

No matter how the investigation was done, it was an accidental coincidence. All the murderers frankly admitted that their actions were from the heart, and no one was instigating them behind the scenes, because the deceased touched their ruthless scales that would never be offended.

All of a sudden, Qingnan High School has almost become the location of countless horror novels.Some people even thought that there was some terrible curse here.

It is conceivable that many years later, many people will still have the "Seven Legends of Campus" related to it.

Due to the huge pressure of public opinion, the school had to announce a temporary holiday and let the students go home.

Bai Yi slowly mixed in the crowd who left the school, suddenly turned her head slightly, and looked at a big tree next to the school gate.

A cat as fat as a black glutinous rice ball was lying on the tree, its round eyes met the gaze of the boy.

"Hey!" Bai Yi waved his hand to greet it.

"Meow~" Maomao responded to him.

"Then, see you next week~"

At the end of this week, Bai Yi decided to open a new archive.

Even though he directly submitted the results of this week's goal, he was 100% able to pass the level successfully and get a high evaluation.

But Bai Yi suddenly realized that he seemed to be being stupid.

——Customizing scripts for each person's weaknesses, and letting everyone obey his will at his mercy can indeed hide himself well, but the efficiency is too low.

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

He suddenly realized that he didn't have to be so cautious, pursuing a perfect script with no flaws.

The difference between the game and reality is that he doesn't have to be careful with every step to avoid any mistakes.Because it doesn't matter if there are bugs, the most important thing is to have fun!

A new week begins, and Bai Yi decides to change her mind.

Waking up in the bathroom again, he was not in a hurry at all, he washed his hands and face slowly, and cleaned himself up.

The moment she pushed the door open, Bai Yi raised her hand and snapped her fingers.

"It's decided, this is the last episode!"

There was only one and a half hours left before school ended in the afternoon. In the middle of class, the boy with water stains on his clothes hurried back to the classroom of Class [-] and [-] of Senior High School.

Nobody said anything about it.

Igawa was originally bored hiding behind and playing with his mobile phone, but when he noticed this scene, he grinned.

Just as the young man passed by him, he stretched out a leg, blocking the other party's only way.

If it were the past, this guy would probably trip over him.

But today, the trash quickly dodged it.

This made Ikawa feel uneasy for a while, and gave him a hard look.Since I was in class, I didn't do anything.

"Damn!" Just at this moment, the game was over, and Igawa lost. He frantically clicked on his phone and spat out a bunch of trash talk to the other side, and then exited the game angrily.

The failure in the game made Jing Chuan accumulate evil fire, and he wanted to have fun elsewhere.

As soon as the bell rang for the end of get out of class, he turned around and cast his malicious eyes on the guy in the last row of the classroom, who sat with his head down and didn't know what he was doing.

Just as he was about to get up, his phone vibrated silently.

Ikawa took out his mobile phone, but found a message from a stranger appeared on the screen.

At the same time, other students made the same move as him, that is, looked down and took out their phones.

——In this school where discipline is not strict, it is the default norm for everyone to bring a mobile phone to school.

The same content appeared on everyone's screen.

[Want to get to know the real self? ]

"Which guy is playing tricks? Boring!"

Seeing the nonsensical content, Ikawa frowned.Just about to delete, the phone started to vibrate again and again.

[Let's play a game! ]

[I know the secret of each of you. ]

[To prove that I am not lying, everyone will receive two messages next.The first is your own greatest secret, and the second is another person's greatest secret—I'm going to choose one at random among the others.On the contrary, your secret may also appear in someone's mobile phone in this way~]

The content of these messages shocked everyone.

Suddenly there was an uproar in the classroom.

"I seem to have received a prank text message, which guy is doing something?"

"Me too."

"Are you kidding? It's strange to believe him!"

Amidst the discussion and laughter of the crowd, the phone vibrated again.

Ikawa clicked on it with the intention of having fun anyway.

The next moment, he subconsciously squeezed the phone tightly to block the screen.

[Your little angelic sister, the whole family is still heartbroken for her accidental disappearance when she was six years old, and the whole family is immersed in the shadows.But it wasn't lost by accident.You did it on purpose, you were jealous of her and wanted her to disappear. ]

"Which guy is it..."

Ikawa's expression changed drastically.

His voice trembled with anger and fear.But he clutched the phone tightly in his hand, looking around like a thief.

As if to find the person hidden in the crowd, and as if afraid that his secret has been revealed to the world.

Only then did he realize that at least half of the people in the class had the same reaction as him. Although the reactions of the others were not as violent, they were not too good-looking either.

Before he could think about it, another message followed.

[Random selection: Fang Rong. ]

[His secret is - when he was 15 years old, he went swimming with his best friend. During the dispute, he pushed his best friend into the river and drowned.But afterwards, as the only witness, he claimed that it was an accident caused by a slippery foot, so he escaped guilt, and no one knew. ]

"This!"

Ikawa, who was shocked and angry at first, widened his eyes suddenly, with an expression of extreme shock on his face.

... Is this Boss Fang's secret?The leader who has always been arrogant and domineering in front of them has such a deadly secret?

Now, this handle fell into his hands.

Ikawa subconsciously looked in Boss Fang's direction.

I saw the other party's ferocious eyes sweeping around, sweeping everyone with eyes full of threats and doubts.

——The person he is looking for is me!

Ikawa's heart was pounding, and he quickly lowered his head.

But I can't help but wonder if I can use this secret to do something.

Especially when he thinks that in the past, he has been walking around in front of Boss Fang with low eyebrows and eyes like a horse boy, but now, he has grasped the fatal weakness of the other party...

A strange excitement crept through him.

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

"I'm thinking this way now, will there be other people thinking about how to deal with me...Damn, damn! Damn bastard! Don't let me know who is doing it!"

He cursed at the man behind the scenes.

At this moment, Ikawa is just an insignificant member of the classroom.Most of the others had the same reaction as him.

Only a few people who have done nothing wrong remain calm.The exposure of their secrets is nothing more than embarrassment.

So they can still deal with the secrets about others on their mobile phones with the mentality of people who eat melons.

But these people are only a minority after all.

The class bell rang, and the self-study class began, but everyone was inattentive to class, with stiff and weird faces.

Someone laughed.

"In what age, there are still people playing this kind of prank! No way, no way, no one really believes it, right?"

"Whoever believes is a fool!"

"This joker is so boring..."

While saying disbelief, everyone almost subconsciously squeezed their mobile phones, and quietly cast their gazes at other people in the classroom, and the atmosphere became weird unknowingly.

The panic of worrying about one's secret being revealed, and the excitement of grasping another person's handle collided in the heart, and everyone's eyes when looking at others became flickering.

The phone started vibrating again.

This time, everyone opened it immediately.

[——Now, you who have mastered the biggest secret of another person, and your own secrets are also mastered by someone who doesn't know, how will you behave? ]

[Do you choose to keep silent as if nothing happened, or take advantage of it quietly?Do you trust yourself, and do you trust others? ]

All faces became ugly.

But the people behind the scenes did not let them go.

[People will never know their true self.Until the special moment finally arrives. ]

[——It's time to open your chest and face yourself :)]

The smile at the end of the text message is like the funny face of a clown, mocking each of them wantonly.

Knowing that the guy behind him has bad intentions, but he has to fall into the other party's trap... This feeling is really terrible!

Bai Yi sat in the last row, observing everyone's reactions with great interest. The turbulent and chaotic mental fluctuations around him undoubtedly showed that these people were not at peace in their hearts.

On the way back to the classroom, he casually stuffed the mobile phone he picked up from a wandering student into his pocket, looking expectant.

The beginning has been written, and the rest of the script depends on how these characters are going to play randomly.

The unknown is always full of interest!
