Throne of Radiance

Ever since he entered the strange hotel drunk and escaped from the perverted killer, Han Shan had nightmares almost every night.

Because of the failure to call the police, he was afraid that the pervert would come to trouble him, so he didn't even dare to go to the bar where he used to hang out.

As a result, not long after, the rainy night serial murder case happened. When he learned that one of the murder cases happened in Tianhai Bar, which he used to frequent, Han Shan immediately rejoiced and called out his luck.

But he, who has tried his best to hold on to it, never imagined that during this period of time, he, who was extremely honest, would be summoned to the police station one day.

His first reaction was to complain for himself, and he almost raised his hands and feet: "I didn't do anything!"

"Ahem." Li Fufeng was speechless because of his skilled and decisive reaction, "No one accused you of what you did."

Han Shan, who almost knelt down with his head in his arms just now, immediately recovered his expression that nothing had happened, with a friendly smile on his face: "Then the police officer, you are looking for me..."

Li Fufeng motioned him to sit down opposite, and pushed a piece of paper on the table over: "Look at this first..."

"—Do you know this person?"

On the soft white paper is a printed color photo, the man in the photo has a face that can make most girls fascinated, a head of soft golden half-long hair is casually loose, deep blue pupils as deep as Dai.

"This, this..." Han Shan's voice trembled.

The smile that had just filled his face froze.

It was as if he had seen the most terrifying and terrifying existence in the world, as if he had reawakened the shadow that hung over his heart like a nightmare. It was hard for him to imagine how such a difficult and frightening sound came out of his throat.

"—This is that person! That pervert, the devil!"

"--it's him!"

A hand patted his shoulder lightly a few times, Li Fufeng stood up and comforted him: "Calm down, calm down. This is the police station, you don't have to worry."

Han Shan's mood really calmed down again.

After recovering from his gaffe, he seemed to realize something, and immediately asked pleasantly: "Could it be that the police have already caught this guy, do you want me to be a witness?"

Li Fufeng smiled wryly and shook his head: "I'm afraid it won't be as you wish for the time being, but as long as you are willing to cooperate, maybe this goal will be achieved soon—this is why I came to you."

As he spoke, he stretched out his finger and tapped the photo: "Are you sure it's this person, and you definitely didn't admit your mistake?"

Seeing his serious expression, Han Shan was also infected. He carefully examined the photos, and after a while, he came to a conclusion: "It's not exactly the same, but at least nine points like it."

His brow furrowed in confusion.

"This is a computer-generated photo based on the testimony of witnesses. Of course, it cannot be exactly the same as the person."

After Li Fufeng explained, he came to a conclusion: "It seems that this is the person you met at the beginning - the murderer of the rainy night serial murder case!"

Under Han Shan's unbelievable eyes, he said softly: "I need you to repeat what happened that day, and it's best not to miss any details."

……

"What? The murderer has appeared long ago?"

Knowing the new clue discovered by Li Fufeng, the Yuanyang City Public Security Bureau was shocked. It was hard to believe that they had "passed by" such a dangerous person.

Who would believe the absurd assumptions of an alcoholic drunk?Especially when there is no evidence to support it.

Even now, some people can't believe it.

"I still have that drop of blood sample of unknown origin." Li Fufeng said proactively, "Through DNA testing, this drop of blood cannot be matched with anyone in the national DNA database, and it may be used as a special evidence."

Everyone fell into contemplation.

If the alcoholic hadn't lied or had hallucinations, he had indeed strayed into the murder scene that day...

Then, based on the existing clues and timeline, it is very likely that this is the first case committed by the killer in Yuanyang City. What's more, that hotel is the place where the killer first settled after he came to Yuanyang City. .

This is undoubtedly a crucial clue.Perhaps it is an important factor to help everyone solve the case and catch the murderer.

But the biggest problem now is...

—What about the hotel?Where did the hotel go?

——So big a hotel is gone? ? ?

After handling cases for so many years, I have only heard that corpses will disappear and evidence will be destroyed. I have never heard that even the scene of a murder can disappear overnight.

Coupled with the follow-up and investigation during this period, no trace of this serial killer can be found no matter what.

This made the whole thing even more strange and inexplicable.

"It can't be that the drunkard was bought by the killer, and played tricks in front of us so long in advance, just to make everyone unaware of him now, right?" A young policeman joked, "This is so boring!"

The others also laughed in agreement: "If an alcoholic can have such good acting skills and fool so many of us, he would have already entered the entertainment industry instead."

Although they seemed to be joking, everyone's expressions became solemn at the same time, realizing the difficulty of the case.

No matter what, they have to be very serious.

Everyone started to act.

"...The analysis team for the Rainy Night Killer integrated all the existing clues to build his personality model, and speculated as much as possible about his hiding area and next action trajectory."

"The other three action groups are ready to search and arrest the whole city at any time."

"Others, pay attention to places like train stations and airports to prevent the final suspect from fleeing..."

"and also……"

"——This case has been heard by the heavens and attracted the attention of the cabinet. If we can't solve it as soon as possible, the imperial capital will probably send a special task force to investigate."

……

"...a big living person, can he still disappear from the world?"

After the meeting was dissolved, Li Fufeng fell into a brainstorm and couldn't extricate himself.Even after get off work at noon, he was still thinking while walking.

When he reacted, he found that he had unknowingly walked to a familiar place——

In the narrow and narrow alley, the old walls are covered with moss and scratches, and a small section has collapsed slightly.

Li Fufeng's hand couldn't help brushing against the collapsed wall.

——In Han Shan's testimony, the non-existent hotel appeared here.

This is the strangest and weirdest part of the whole case.It's also a point that doesn't make sense anyway.All Han Shan's words turned into unbelievable gibberish.

But Li Fufeng's intuition told him - no matter how unbelievable it is, this is very likely to be the truth.

The uneven and rough texture came from the fingers, and Li Fufeng's thoughts were racing, as if he had returned to that night in person.

Late at night, cold rain, drunk people on the road, and a mysterious hotel that appeared in the cold wind and rain...

He seemed to really see the drunk man who stumbled open the door, saw blood all over the floor, met a pair of gentle and smiling eyes, and was horrified for a moment...

Following the immersive simulation fantasy in his mind, at a certain moment, Li Fufeng seemed to suddenly appear in front of Li Fufeng's eyes in such an old-style small hotel, with the smell of blood wafting from the tip of his nose in the unclosed door.

"!!!" He was taken aback suddenly.

The instinct he had honed over the years made him reach out subconsciously.

But in the next second, when he calmed down and looked again, the illusory picture that flashed before his eyes disappeared again, and what appeared in his sight was still the dilapidated wall that had collapsed for a while.

He frowned all of a sudden, and said to himself: "Could it really be that the mental pressure is too great to produce hallucinations?"

"—No, absolutely not."

The next moment, Li Fufeng gave the answer himself.

He spread his palms, and there was a bit of powder between his nails, which he had just scratched off the hotel wall.

Li Fufeng's expression cracked, and the materialistic world view he had cultivated over the years also cracked.

It seems that something extraordinary has happened...

·

"It seems that something extraordinary has happened..."

At the same time, Bai Yi spread out his palms.

An exquisite card emerged in his palm. On the top of the card was a row of progress bars that were more than half filled.

[Rainy night ghost] [Legend rate 71%]

Just now, Bai Yi, who noticed the skyrocketing popularity, couldn't help trying to embody the scenes that come with [Blood Hotel].

Because this scene template in his setting is not a scene in the mezzanine space that can be connected to any place at any time like a flower shop, so trying again will only appear in place.

Even if it is only a momentary manifestation, Bai Yi can still detect the changes brought about by the increase in popularity.

—everything becomes more real.

——When the legend reaches 100%, will the illusory scene in the copy of the Nightmare Fragment really become real?

When Bai Yi canceled it, he suddenly reacted.

Just now, there seemed to be exactly one person in that place?

This thought flashed through his mind, but he put it behind him: "It doesn't matter, anyway, it's for fame~"

As for whether that poor guy will doubt his life after suffering from such a "illusion", and then go to a mental hospital for a checkup...that's none of his business.

He took out [The Puppeteer's Mysterious Journal].

According to the continuous observation during this period, Bai Yi can be sure that as long as he continues to leave various thoughts on it, and as the thoughts he writes are realized by himself one by one, the quality of this diary will slowly improve.

Perhaps this is also a way to accumulate "fame"?

Maybe he can imagine that in the future, this diary will be upgraded to [everything written in it will come true or will come true with a high probability] this kind of bug-level ability?

Bai Yi picked up his pen and began to perfect his script settings.

[At a certain moment, there was a strange overlap between two time and space that should have no connection, and the serial killer K who happened to be in the abnormal node of space overlap [Scarlet Hotel], just finished killing people, and then unexpectedly came to this strange world . ]

[Without knowing about it, he played with a guy who broke in by mistake, and walked out of the hotel. When he found that the external environment had changed and realized that there was a problem, he found that the hotel behind him had disappeared. The two space-times have returned to an irrelevant state. ]

[And he became the only and the biggest victim of this time-space accident. ]

[After spending a period of time accepting his current situation and understanding the situation in this world, this executioner who is keen on killing and blood can't help but start to move...]

[What he didn't know was that there was a visitor from another world who came to this world earlier than him, and his appearance had already attracted the attention of the other party and became a part of the plan...]

[This vile person who has played tricks on many people is going to be played by others in the end? ]

[—Or, the counterattack will eventually come? ]
