Throne of Radiance

"You mean you accidentally entered the murder scene, the murderer has already killed two people, and almost killed you too?"

Half an hour later, the police who heard that they were involved in the murder rushed to the scene and listened to Han Shan's story with a serious expression.

"The location is in the back alley of Tianhai Bar on Maple Leaf Street. Is it a small hotel?"

"you sure?"

Han Shan nodded vigorously: "That's right, it's there."

As long as he recalled the experience of last night, he couldn't help being afraid, and said quickly: "That guy is definitely an out-and-out murderer, lunatic, pervert! You must not let him go, you must catch him as soon as possible ah!"

The two policemen looked at him strangely.

"There is no hotel at all in the place you mentioned."

The older policeman spoke first.

Han Shan was startled, and his eyes widened: "This is impossible!"

The young policeman next to him who was silent all the time added: "There has never been any buildings in that alley. As for hotels, the nearest one is 300 meters away from the entrance of the alley, and it doesn't match your description in every way— Did you remember wrongly?"

"No, it's absolutely impossible! I'm not mistaken, it's there—" The memory of running embarrassingly in the rainy night resurfaced in Han Shan's mind, and Han Shan recalled the moment when the beam of light shone on his body. Excited, he reaffirmed, "I definitely remember correctly! It's right there, right in that alley!"

Having said that, he couldn't help shivering.

"So, maybe you're hallucinating."

Seeing that he seemed a little agitated, the young policeman slowed down his voice, with a bit of comfort in his tone.

"After all, you were drunk that night, and here—" he pointed to his head with his finger, "you also suffered a slight injury. It's normal to have hallucinations when you're in the rain and have a fever."

But Han Shan was not appeased, and his tone became more urgent: "I really remember correctly, and I didn't have hallucinations! Don't you believe it? What I said is true! The feeling of being held by the gun at that time was so real, How could it be an illusion!"

"—I almost fucking thought I was going to die!"

He slapped the edge of the bed heavily, pulled the infusion tube in agitation, a few drops of blood came out from the back of his hand, and his face was distorted.

The two policemen quickly persuaded him to calm down, controlled him, and secretly exchanged glances with each other.

5 minute later.

"...Urine test?" He failed to convince the police to believe what he said, but because of his abnormal mental state, Han Shan was confused by other suspicions, "???"

He realized it later: "You suspect that I take drugs?"

"Mr. Han, you insist that you have not lied or experienced hallucinations, so you must call the police, but the oral evidence you provided is completely inconsistent with the facts... and you have just been in and out of the bar yesterday, we have reason to suspect that you may not Be careful taking some hallucinogenic drugs."

"I……"

Han Shan subconsciously wanted to swear, but after looking at the two policemen, he swallowed the words down his throat.

He tried his best to restrain his anxiety and uneasiness, and nodded heavily: "I agree to the urine test. I will prove that I am not lying. If it turns out that I am not taking drugs, will you all be willing to believe what I say?"

"This...every citizen reports a crime, we will take it seriously and conduct a rigorous investigation of the case."

With special approval from the public security organ, the results of the urine test came out soon.

the answer is negative.

Although Han Shan got rid of the possibility of taking hallucinogenic drugs, the murder he described was still unbelievable.

There is no crime location, no suspects, and no corpses... Everything seems to be just a story imagined by an alcoholic after he got drunk. How should we file a case for investigation?

Under Han Shan's almost stalker-like strong request, the police took him to the crime scene he said.

Overturned trash cans, street lamps that have been in disrepair for a long time, the peeling of the wall skin revealing the old red brick walls... From the end of the alley to the end of the alley, apart from these old things, nothing.

This remote and quiet alley is like an old man who has already entered his twilight years, exposing every age spot on his body under the strong light of the morning sun.

The young policeman who accompanied Han Shan did not speak, but walked with him from one end to the other, seeing the obvious shock, disappointment, and disbelief on his face, and sighed: "Now you should Is there any doubt?"

Han Shan stood there in a daze, staring at a slightly collapsed wall in front of him, showing a suspicious expression on his life.

"Obviously it should be here..."

Although last night he was injured, drenched in the rain, and drunk, and his mind was always dizzy, but this special experience really made his memory too deep, especially when he escaped from the hotel, he clearly Chu clearly saw this section of the wall that had obviously collapsed a lot.

He couldn't help but stepped forward and reached out to touch the wall.

"how come……"

At this moment, even Han Shan himself began to waver.

Could it be that he himself had hallucinations?

--No!Absolutely not!

The next moment, a pair of gray eyes that made him tremble appeared in his mind, and he quickly shook his head vigorously.

——How could the hallucination be so clear, so real, and so logical?

What's more, last night he saw two corpses, blood all over the ground... Wait, blood?

Han Shan's face suddenly changed, and his eyes showed ecstasy: "Blood, yes, the blood on the ground! I fell to the ground at that time, and my body might be stained with blood—"

"Fuck!" He forgot to restrain himself when he was excited, and suddenly turned his head to look at the young policeman: "I have fucking evidence! You must believe me! This time it's true—"

He turned and walked away, almost running.

"Eh?" In view of his mental instability, the young policeman quickly chased after him, "Where are you going?"

"Go to the hospital and get a blood test!"

The wall clock on the wall pointed to eleven o'clock in the morning, and Bai Yi finally opened her eyes lazily and got up from the bed.

He routinely cut off the power for 5 minutes before fully waking up.

Then, I stretched out a comfortable waist.

The past few nights have been the rare nights in so many years that I slept until dawn without having nightmares.

Since the start of the nightmare game, he finally doesn't have to fall into the nightmare fragments passively every night when he falls asleep, but can choose whether to enter it or not.

In the previous three nights, he did not choose to enter the Nightmare Fragment.Last night, he equipped the only character card [K] again, and put on a good show outside.

The whispers in his mind didn't spoil his good mood at all, and Bai Yi went into the kitchen, humming happily while making breakfast (lunch?).

"Are you happy?" He hummed a song, took a fish from the fish tank, shook the fish's head, and then slapped it on the chopping board, "I'm very happy~"

"..." The fish rolled up its dead eyes.

"There's no reason to be happy, let me tell you~"

While humming, Bai Yi waved the shiny kitchen knife: "Do you like this newly bought kitchen knife?"

"Whoosh-"

"I think you must like it."

The blade was as fast as cutting a piece of tender tofu, and it drew a dangerous trajectory in mid-air.

A knife went down, and he died peacefully.

"Happiness is such an easy thing~"

Bai Yi's movements and tone became more and more cheerful, and he still didn't forget to chatter in the interval of humming, as if treating a good friend.

"So what about this new flavor of sauce? I carefully prepared it according to your body shape and meat quality. It's a personal customization, and it must match your meat very well."

"...As expected, you look very satisfied."

"Then, it's decided."

……

The golden oil sizzled in the iron pan, accompanied by a strange smell.

On a telegraph pole not far from the window, a sparrow suddenly straightened up and fell down. It fell in the grass for a long time without reacting, and both eyes were dazed.

...Caught off guard and suffered a fatal blow.jpg

The remaining three or five flew away proficiently as soon as the movement came out of the kitchen window.

Seeing the newly joined friends being severely injured, their wings flapped even harder.

There should be a soundtrack here -

……

After finishing her breakfast, Bai Yi remembered what she had done last night, and was going to see how it worked out.

A light flashed in his palm, and a card slowly condensed.

However, such a short time should not be so fast...

"Eh?" Bai Yi raised her eyebrows in surprise, and couldn't help reaching out to weigh the cards in her hand.

Even though it's only been one night, the feeling of this card is slightly different to him now.It's as if... it has become so real?

Really just a little bit.This kind of extremely subtle change may not be noticed by ordinary people, but Bai Yi, whose mental power is different from ordinary people, caught it immediately.

He was very curious and looked down at the card.

The author has something to say:

Note: The song hummed by the protagonist in the article is "Ode to Happiness".A song from a long time ago, it is more cheerful to eat this chapter with music~
