Throne of Radiance

The hustle and bustle of the street faded away at some point, and the noises of grief, despair, resentment, and remorse gradually faded away amidst the long honking of the ambulance.

The whole world returned to the state of whispering, and all illusions dissipated.

However, the distorted text floating in front of his eyes did not disappear.This surreal fantasy scene actually exists incomparably.

[If this is your wish. 】

【What you think will surely become reality. 】

Bai Yi slumped lazily on the bed, looking up at the two lines above her head.

...isn't it a hallucination?He literally got picked for an inexplicable nightmare game.

"...I really dare to say it."

He laughed and sat up straight.

"Your system is very broken. You talked nonsense and slandered me before, but in the end, the leader of the MLM is yourself?"

... Who knows if the so-called nightmare game is true or not, what is the essence of the existence of the self-proclaimed game system, maybe everything is just a hoax.

...If it is based on conspiracy theory, the monsters in the depths of the nightmare wear the skin of the game system, choose someone in reality, and use this to invade the world bit by bit... This seems to be a reasonable setting.

Still, who cares?

Bai Yi only knew that he had been successfully aroused.

"Three paths? Only children make choices, and mature adults of course want all of them."

Summoning the familiar basic panel, Bai Yi glanced at it and cast it straight to the bottom.

This is a function that he didn't have time to understand before, and maybe he will be able to use it soon, so naturally he has to figure it out first.

Points: 10

Card Slot: 【Rainy Night Ghost★】

[Characteristics to be confirmed] [Equipable/Consume Nightmare Crystal (White) x 24 every 1 hours] [Click to no longer display]

Backpack: Nightmare Crystal (White) x 3, Theory of Everything x 1

——

Points are easy to understand, they are the currency of the nightmare game, and nightmare crystals seem to be some kind of special consumables.As for the character card... Could it be what he guessed?

With a thought in Bai Yi's mind, an illusory card was condensed in his palm.Under the black umbrella, the man smiled unpredictable.

What followed was a line of text prompts.

【Card: Rainy Night Ghost★】

【From: Scarlet Hotel★☆】

[Prototype: Serial Killer K who haunts rainy nights]

[Description: A special reward for defeating an enemy that was impossible to defeat because the player crossed the limits of his own role.Possesses all killing skills and other skills of K.Other than that it's blank.Players can add background, experience, personality and other characteristic settings to this card by themselves.Only three.And cannot exceed the limit of one-star cards. 】

[Remarks: Features that are seriously inconsistent with the character prototype cannot take effect.The higher the compatibility, the more likely it will take effect.Equipping this card, the player will directly master all the skills of the card character and become the character himself.The closer the performance is to the characteristic setting, the faster the experience points for card growth and upgrading will be acquired. 】

This paragraph can be described as extremely informative.

"Is the original name K? This is too casual."

Thinking of the NPC whose name was unknown until now, Bai Yi made some complaints, ignored it, and grasped the point.

"So, this is equivalent to giving me a blank killer NPC card that I can fabricate as I like. The skills are already full, and the character design is all made up by myself?"

As for not being seriously inconsistent with the archetypal character, it's quite understandable...

Bai Yi followed the system prompts, flew her fingers, and wrote a line in mid-air: [Nature is kind, can't bear to kill, good old man who loves cats and dogs]——

laugh!

As he expected, the line of words just fell, it turned into a puff of green smoke and dissipated completely.

[This characteristic is seriously inconsistent with the character archetype. 】

"Then try this." Bai Yi persisted.

[Excellent skill, one against a hundred, the king of assassins who catch bullets with bare hands]

After this line of characters appeared, it flashed in mid-air. Although it did not dissipate into green smoke, it obviously dimmed bit by bit. A long horizontal line suddenly appeared and directly crossed out the entire sentence. .

[Exceeding the limit of the card, it is currently unable to take effect. 】

"Is that true..."

Bai Yi was not disappointed, her eyes lit up instead.

The corners of his mouth were raised high, like a child who suddenly found a new toy, his face was full of anticipation:

"Try this again..."

……

After more than a dozen attempts, Bai Yi has roughly figured out which characteristics are set within the acceptable range of this card.

And as long as the characteristics passed the judgment, it will automatically glow and turn into a golden font, floating above.

At this moment, the golden font suspended in mid-air has already densely packed dozens of lines, all kinds of strange things, and some of the content is purely the result of his own bad taste.

Bai Yi raised his hand and randomly clicked on three of them.

[Are you confirming the characteristics? 】

Following Bai Yi's affirmative answer, all the other golden characters in midair disappeared, and the last three lines turned into three streamers of light, rushing straight towards the card in his palm.

The glowing cards floated up.

The man holding the black umbrella slowly turned around as the card was flipped, and the back of the card, which was originally blank, gradually had a few more lines of pitch-black characters.

【A ghost that haunts rainy nights at any time】

【Executioner who brings killing and bloodshed】

[Pleasure criminal who is good at playing with people's hearts]

——【k】

"La la la la, perfect!"

Bai Yi cheerfully raised her hand, threw the card in her hand into the air, and clasped her middle fingers firmly to hold it.

At this moment, he was like a kindergarten kid who got a new toy and couldn't wait to get started.

but……

"Equipment cards consume Nightmare Crystals. Apart from Nightmare Crystals, are there no other alternative consumables?"

"No way? No way? The nightmare game that claims to be able to fulfill all wishes can't be so rigid?"

There are only three Nightmare Crystals (white) in Bai Yi's backpack, so in conversion, he can only equip cards for a total of 72 hours, which is obviously not enough.

Thinking of this, Bai Yi couldn't help but began to output Yin Yang skills, and the Great Onmyoji came online again.

[A Nightmare Crystal can be used multiple times, and if each use is less than one hour, it will be calculated as one hour.In addition, character cards can also prolong the time they stay in the world through the legendary charge they get. 】

"—Famousness?" Bai Yi thought about the word, "It seems very interesting."

He lifted his spirits all of a sudden, and the tired breath that was originally entwined between his brows was swept away.

As he no longer suppressed his mental state, the flow of information from all directions increased several times in the next moment.The rhythm of everything that was narrowed nearby was passively perceived, and the scope was expanded when it was uncontrollable.

What had been a bearable whisper was replaced by a high-pitched scream and laughter, like a calm stream replaced by a stormy sea.

They surged from all directions, charging towards Bai Yi's brain wave after wave.They lifted his skull and penetrated into his scalp, like opening a trash can, pouring all kinds of messy things into it, regardless of whether the "trash can" was willing to accept it or not.

Now, Bai Yi is really quite "spirited".

"..."

He skillfully spread it backwards, rolled to the left on the bed, rolled to the right, rolled to the left again, and spread into big characters again.

After maintaining the power-off mode for a full ten seconds, Bai Yi sat up again and became fully charged again.

As if nothing happened just now, he very naturally "forgot" what he did just now, and took out his mobile phone from beside the pillow: "Then, the next step..."

Amidst the cheerful self-talk, Bai Yi clicked on the weather forecast on her phone, and her eyes fell on the familiar raindrop-shaped pattern.

"...in three days?"

Three days later, it was night.

As the first drops of rain fall...

[The card is equipped, please choose a place to put it. 】

The illusory map unfolded in mid-air, including the entire Yuanyang City. Some areas on the map were gray and dim, which was not available for selection, while some areas were slightly bright, marking the pattern of rainy days.

"You can actually choose where to put it? As long as it's a rainy night...it's rare for you to be so caring for the system."

In a surprised murmur, the area where Jiangyuan New District is located lit up, and a finger precisely poked a point on the enlarged map where a certain alley was located.

"Then, choose this place."

When he was unable to suppress his perception range in the past, this "garbage dump" had brought him quite a lot of trouble for a long time.

[Please choose to put it directly, or spend nightmare crystals to build an illusory scene (character cards can be bound. When the character card equipment is cancelled, the scene will dissipate at the same time). 】

[Setting the scene by yourself requires a lot of nightmare crystals. According to the current situation of the player, it is recommended to choose to directly cast the card, or build an existing scene template. 】

[Currently selectable scene: [Scarlet Hotel]]

……

rainy night.

The stars and the moon have no light.

In the depths of the narrow alley, a little yellow light lit up.

An old hotel appeared silently, as if someone was tracing it bit by bit on a blank scroll with a pen.

In the hotel, a man in a long black trench coat appeared silently on the stairs. His condescending gaze scanned the entire hotel, not missing any detail.

"Real, too real. Is this really unreal?"

Bai Yi squeezed her arm with a curious face, then picked up a strand of pale golden hair by her ear, and sniffed it lightly.

"Is this what it feels like to equip a character card?"

At this moment, he only felt that his whole body seemed to be divided into two halves, with two different perspectives.

One is the deity who is still in the apartment, and the other is the vest of the killer [k].

He can manipulate both sides with one mind and two minds, and he doesn't know whether it is the effect of the character card itself, or his own [persona mask] ability.

Bai Yi, who was lying in the apartment, had already taken out a bag of melon seeds and knocked it up, while in the hotel, [K] started to act.

While groping here and there, he walked all the way to the reception desk on the first floor, and even found a bottle of an extremely familiar powerful sleeping potion in the reception desk...

Then there is the blood-stained hall, and the two corpses lying in a pool of blood...

Finally, there is the TV on the wall.

…If turned on, can this TV receive an outside signal?Will it be a news channel in a dream, or a TV station that can connect to reality?

Bai Yi decisively tried.

The TV was not turned on, but a line of text jumped out instead, wantonly showing its presence on the screen.

[This scene is too illusory, and some functions are missing.It is recommended to increase the reputation, or use the fragments of the principle of all things to make the scene fragments change from unreal to real. 】

Another very informative tip.

"Speaking of it, it means that you must be famous, right?"

Bai Yi put down the remote control in disappointment, and turned her attention to other places.

It's almost like a child who discovered a secret base, addicted to novel adventures and couldn't extricate himself.

Until the passing time in the upper right corner of his line of sight reminded him: "... I almost forgot the business."

He has received too much pollution from the smelly "garbage" in this area, so he knows this place well.

I don't know how many drunken alcoholics pass by this alley every day...

The place is hidden, the subject of the experiment is special, and there will not be too much noise. It is perfect for the first attempt.

Then, let him see who will be the lucky customer who will be delivered automatically~

As for now, these two corpses that are so realistic make him more interested...

While waiting for the lucky customer, Bai Yi couldn't help casting her curious eyes on the two corpses on the ground.

He couldn't help stretching out his hand.

at this time--

With the sound of rain getting louder and louder, an extremely strong mental wave quickly approached.

All kinds of chaotic information escaped at the same time.

Complaints, annoyance, resentment, anxiety...

In the sound of wind and rain, someone pushed open the door of the hotel.

Bai Yi, who was lying on the sofa in the apartment and eating melon seeds, suddenly opened his half-closed eyes: "Oh, the protagonist finally appeared?"

In the hotel, a man in a black windbreaker turned around with a smile, his pale blond half-long hair brushing the side of his face.

"Come uninvited late at night, what a rude guest."

"Come uninvited late at night, what a rude guest."

The man smiled and raised the tip of his umbrella.

"boom--"

"what!!!"

With a scream, the entire hospital ward was alarmed.

Han Shan, who was lying on the hospital bed, opened his eyes, still immersed in the nightmare, unable to recover, as if he had returned to the night that made him terrified, and his whole body was shaking.

"Sir, are you okay? Someone found you passed out on the side of the road an hour ago and sent you to our hospital..."

"This is a hospital?!"

Amidst the nurse's concerned voice, Han Shan finally discovered the environment he was in.He looked around the ward, and finally heaved a sigh of relief as if he had been pardoned.

When he came back to his senses, and recalled the embarrassment and timidity before, he suddenly felt belated embarrassment and anger.

Oh shit!Isn't he just a murderer...

"and many more!"

Han Shan immediately grabbed the nurse who was about to get up.

"—I, I want to call the police!"
