Throne of Radiance

The luxury car parked at the entrance of Xiangliu Village finally moved.

A man opened the car door with trembling hands and got out of the car.

After walking a few steps, his familiar face was exposed to all the old people who knew him.The eyes of the villagers quickly changed from curiosity and bewilderment to undisguised anger and hatred. This anger could literally burn a living person.

Under such gazes, Gong Fang felt uncomfortable all over.He who never took these bumpkins seriously, seemed to feel uneasiness and fear from the bottom of his heart for the first time.

"Villagers, folks, I'll come to see you..." He forced a smile, trying to use words to resolve the situation.

"Conscientious bastard! You still have the face to come back!" A roar interrupted his words, and a skinny old man who looked hale and hearty appeared at the same time as the roar.

"—See if I don't beat you to death!!"

The old man picked up a thick wooden stick on the ground next to him, and rushed forward vigorously, smashing his head and face down!

Others also reacted immediately, copying guys, picking up rocks, and a group of children who followed suit, urinating and making mud on the ground on the spot, pinching the mud balls that are produced and sold, Throw it in his face.

Such a violent reaction was beyond Gong Fang's expectation, and he was stunned on the spot.

Until the pain from his body and the smell of urine on his face woke him up, he quickly stretched out his hand to block it.

"Don't, don't, don't, listen to my explanation..."

"Fuck you! Hit them all! I'll be the one who kills you!"

The old village head, who was over seventy and still quite energetic, roared like thunder, accompanied by the cheers of the children.

Then there are all kinds of things smashed down.

Gong Fang, who has been pampered in the city for many years, is no match for these people, so he can only choose to dodge wildly and flee in embarrassment.

After Gong Fang finally opened the car door and hid in the car amidst the crowd of people chasing and intercepting him, he found that even this luxury car was surrounded by villagers, and the dense crowd made it impossible for him to drive away.

"Crack!" "Crack!" "Crack!"

The transparent car window glass was hit by a stone, and spider web-like cracks spread across it, making Gong Fang tremble.

Fortunately, the glass of this car is strong and will not be smashed open.

"Country bumpkins, a group of uncivilized savages!" He read twice with fear on his face, and frantically begged for help from the police on the other end of the camera in the car, "You have seen it too, these people are crazy! Come save me, hurry Come save me!!"

"The police have arrived nearby, up to 10 minutes..."

Gong Fang was pleasantly surprised at first, but then his expression suddenly changed.

"——No, no! Don't come here! You all get out, don't come here!" At this time, he was still thinking about his precious son, so he quickly changed his mind, "I have to complete the challenge by myself !"

Perhaps it was the baby son who inspired Gong Fang...

"Isn't it just for the future of a group of brats..."

He gritted his teeth, opened the window and shouted outside.

……

More than ten minutes later, he personally promised everyone that he would build roads and bridges for Xiangliu Village and build a school, and he also wrote a "guarantee" that the villagers believed to be legally binding. willow village.

His phone rang to receive a text message.

[Congratulations, you have successfully passed the test of the first round of the game.Ready for the second ring game? ]

At this time, Gong Fang was physically and mentally exhausted, and the pain and disgusting smell on his body made him extremely angry from embarrassment.

He dialed back the phone again, his tone can be said to be exasperated: "What the hell are you trying to do, you bastard?!"

This time, the person on the other end of the phone didn't hang up.

A young and clear male voice sighed full of regret: "Ah, I'm so rude. Although the name is just a code name, at least it can prevent people who are rude like you from calling me rude words."

"As a punishment, please allow me to postpone the announcement of the start of the second ring game."

His tone was leisurely, with a little light smile.

"—Finally, repeat again, I don't mind if you call the police, and I don't mind if you make a scene known to the whole world. As long as you abide by the rules of the game, complete the next game alone."

At the same time as the voice fell, the call ended.

"Fuck!" Gong Fang was so angry that he dropped the phone on the floor of the car, and quickly picked it up to see if it was broken.I felt aggrieved and angry at the same time, but I had nowhere to vent.

All this pressure can only be transferred to the police.

While waiting for the notification from the second ring game, the police station has already begun to investigate the case with all its strength, and Li Fufeng and others also joined in, and everyone started analysis based on the existing clues.

"Although this guy didn't kill anyone, he feels that the level of danger is not lower than that serial killer. Judging from the methods he has shown so far, the hacker level is extremely high. He has some means to monitor Gong Fang's actions throughout the process, and he can fully predict Considering the weakness of human heart and human nature... What is the purpose of this guy to spend so much time?"

"Don't forget, the punishment he mentioned was postponing the start of the second ring game - it doesn't sound like a punishment at all, does it matter when it starts? Could it be that he wants to use this time to do something to Gong Tian... ..."

"No, about #游戏开始时间#, our understanding may be different. Just like the first ring game, he arrived at Xiangliu Village before 12:00, but he announced the start of the game at 8:50 am. If the second ring game It also needs to be done by a certain point, and he delayed the announcement of the #start#, and the time left in the middle is very tight-I think it should be said.”

"Do you mind calling the police? Do you mind being known to the world? This guy is really arrogant! Damn it!"

"—It's not just that he doesn't mind, he should want to make the trouble known to the world. What does he want to do? Is it just to cause a sensation and gain attention from all over the world? Or does he want to have a public trial of Gong Fang and let his past The bad deeds are exposed to everyone? If so, the two may have enmity."

"In this case, you might as well fulfill him. If he wants to play, play with him! Now that the hostage is in his hands, don't force him to do something too extreme. In any case, the safety of the hostage's life is the most important thing. Look at this guy first What exactly do you want to do, the more you do, the more flaws you will have..."

"I suspect that there will likely be a situation like Xiangliu Village in the future. Other innocent people will inadvertently participate in the game and be used by him. If we persuade the people in advance, we can also prevent everyone from being used by him..."

When everyone's thoughts kept colliding, the police also caught the clues left by the five kidnappers—after all, they were just cannon fodder characters. After searching with all his strength, the traces were finally exposed.

Li Fufeng and others took action immediately.

In the airport, the door of the shop that had been closed for many days and posted a sign for transfer and lease was opened, and the police quickly broke in.

Their movements were agile and flexible, and they made no sound when they walked around, showing strong executive power.

"No one on the first floor!"

"Not on the second floor either!"

"There's a basement here...someone is there!!"

After shouting for a long time, no one responded. As the basement door was opened, under the vigilant eyes of the police officers, five figures lying on the ground appeared in their eyes.

"... still breathing, not dead, just comatose."

The ambulance arrived quickly, and the five people who had passed out were carried out one by one by the crowd. The police searched the entire store, and the figures of the crowd shuttled up and down.

Large swaths of shadows fell from the windows, completely covering the interior of the store in a gloomy and gloomy state.

——This shop is located at the corner in the direction of the sun. It was originally a milk tea shop, but because the location is not good and the business has been losing money without any improvement, the owner was finally disheartened and decided to transfer or lease the entire shop.

Everyone searched and packed all suspicious items in evidence bags. Just as they were about to leave here and temporarily seal off the scene to avoid damage, Li Fufeng who came down from the second floor suddenly stopped in his tracks and glanced behind him.

Layers of steps spread upwards, revealing a small platform opened by the owner alone. The neat and delicate tables and chairs are shrouded in shadows, silently waiting for their owners.

"What's wrong?" Liu Ningshuang, who was walking in front, asked.

"It's nothing." Li Fufeng shook his head in confusion.

"Just now, I always felt like someone was looking at me..."

"Hiss—" Liu Ningshuang took a deep breath, "I've got goosebumps from what I said, and there's not even a ghost image on it. You must be wrong."

"Maybe?" Li Fufeng also had some doubts about life.

He followed Liu Ningshuang out of the shop gate, sealed off the whole milk tea shop from the outside, and then left.

On the second floor of the milk tea shop, the young man who had been sitting at the table from the beginning to the end but no one saw him picked up the coffee cup in front of him, took a sip of coffee, and slowly stood up.

He walked to the window and watched Li Fufeng's leaving back.

"What a strong intuition, he was the one last time..."

The innocent voice of the little boy came from behind: "Brother, is this the hide-and-seek you said? It's really fun. We are here, and I talk to them, and they can't see or hear! What a bunch of idiots." Duck~"

The boy sitting on the chair opposite the table clapped his hands and laughed. He just turned ten years old seemed to be more ignorant than children of the same age. This is a child who grew up under excessive care and strict protection. .

His curious eyes were as bright as stars.

"It's really amazing, brother, how did you do it?"

The young man in front of the window turned around, smiled slightly, and said something he didn't understand.

"Because under the shadows is my domain."

——The [Shadow Parliament] hidden in the reflection of the city has already arrived here.If a mortal cannot pick up the moon in the water, how can he see the world in the reflection?

As the voice fell, the shadow covering the second floor suddenly faded bit by bit, as if a layer of the thick and colorful pitch-black canvas was wiped off, and the color became much lighter.

It seems that an invisible illusory world is rapidly dissipating, and the surrounding space has returned to reality.The two seemed to have stepped out of a layer of enchantment and returned to the real world.

——[Shadow Parliament] scene is temporarily withdrawn.After all, nightmare crystals are consumed extremely quickly, and they are useful and cherished.

And the young man sat down at the table again, and looked at the little boy with a smile: "Let's continue playing the game."
