Glorious God Throne - Chapter 8
“You’re saying that you accidentally stumbled upon a murder scene, the murderer had already killed two people, and almost killed you too?”
Half an hour later, the police involved in the murder case rushed over, listening seriously to Han Shan’s account.
“The location is behind the Tianhai Bar on Maple Leaf Street, in a small inn?”
“Are you sure?”
Han Shan nodded firmly. “Yes, that’s the place.”
Just thinking back to last night’s experience, he couldn’t help but feel scared, and quickly said, “That guy is definitely a bona fide murderer, a madman, a pervert! You absolutely cannot let him go, you must catch him as soon as possible!”
The gaze of the two policemen looking at him became strange.
“The place you mentioned, there’s no inn at all.”
The older policeman was the first to speak.
Han Shan was taken aback, his eyes widened. “That’s impossible!”
The young policeman who had been silent added, “There has never been any building in that alley. If you’re talking about an inn, the nearest one is 300 meters away from the entrance of the alley, and it doesn’t match your description at all – could you have remembered it wrong?”
“No, that’s absolutely impossible! I didn’t remember it wrong, it was there–” The memory of running in embarrassment in the rainy night once again surfaced in his mind, Han Shan recalled the agitation that arose when that beam of light shone on him, he affirmed again, “I definitely didn’t remember it wrong! It was there, it was in that alley!”
At this point, he couldn’t help but shiver.
“Then, you might have had a hallucination.”
Seeing that he seemed a bit agitated, the young policeman softened his voice, adding a bit of comfort to his tone.
“After all, you were drunk that night, and here–” he pointed to his head, “you also suffered a minor injury. It’s normal to have hallucinations when you’re soaked in the rain and have a fever.”
But Han Shan was not calmed down, his tone became more urgent, “I really didn’t remember it wrong, and I didn’t have a hallucination! You don’t believe me? What I said is true! The feeling of being held at gunpoint was so real, how could it be a hallucination!”
“——I almost thought I was going to die!”
He slapped heavily on the edge of the bed, and in his agitation, he pulled the infusion tube, a few drops of blood oozed out from the back of his hand, and his face twisted for a moment.
The two policemen hurriedly calmed him down, restrained him, and secretly exchanged a glance with each other.
Five minutes later.
“…Urine test?” Han Shan, who failed to convince the police to believe his words and was suspected for his abnormal mental state, was dumbfounded, “???”
He realized afterwards. “You suspect me of using drugs?”
“Given that Mr. Han, you insist that you are not lying, did not have a hallucination, and must report to the police, but the oral evidence you provided does not match the facts at all…..Plus, you just went to a bar yesterday, we have reason to suspect that you may have inadvertently taken some hallucinogenic drugs.”
“I…”
Han Shan subconsciously wanted to curse, but after looking at the two policemen, he swallowed the words that had reached his throat.
He tried his best to control his inner restlessness and anxiety, and nodded heavily. “I agree to the urine test. I will prove that I did not lie. If the test shows that I did not use drugs, will you believe what I said?”
“This…Every citizen who reports a case, we will take it seriously and conduct a strict investigation.”
With the special approval of the public security organs, the results of the urine test came out quickly.
The answer was negative.
Although Han Shan ruled out the possibility of taking hallucinogenic drugs, the murder case he described still made people unbelievable.
There was no crime scene, no suspect, and no body…Everything seemed like a story imagined by a drunkard after getting drunk, how to file an investigation?
At Han Shan’s almost persistent request, the police took him to the crime scene he mentioned.
The overturned trash can, the dilapidated street lamp leaning on the side of the road due to years of disrepair, the old wall where the wall paint had peeled off revealing the red bricks…From the head of the alley to the end, there was nothing but these things exuding an old atmosphere.
This secluded and quiet alley was like an old man who had already stepped into his twilight years, exposing every age spot on his body under the strong sunlight of the morning sun.
The young policeman who accompanied Han Shan did not speak all the way, just accompanied him from this end to that end, watching his obviously shocked, disappointed, and incredulous expression on his face, he sighed, “You should have no doubts now, right?”
Han Shan stood in a daze, his eyes fixed on a slightly collapsed wall in front of him, showing a doubtful expression.
“It should be here…”
Despite the fact that he was injured, rained on, drunk last night, and his head groggy, but this special experience made his memory too deep, especially when he escaped from the inn, he clearly saw this obviously collapsed wall.
He couldn’t help but walk up, reaching out to touch the wall.
“How could it…”
At this moment, even Han Shan himself began to waver.
Was it really a hallucination he had?
——No! Absolutely not!
The next moment, a pair of deep green eyes that made him tremble appeared in his mind, and he quickly shook his head vigorously.
——How could a hallucination be so clear, so real, so logical?
Besides, he saw two bodies last night, blood all over the floor…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 I might have gotten blood on me——”
“Damn!” He forgot to restrain himself in his excitement, and suddenly turned his head to look at the young policeman. “I have evidence! You must believe me! This time it’s true——”
He turned around and ran, almost sprinting.
“Eh?” Given his unstable mental state, the young policeman hurriedly chased after him, “Where are you going?”
“To the hospital, for a blood test!”
****
The wall clock pointed to eleven in the morning, Bai Yi finally lazily opened his eyes and got up from the bed.
He routinely cut off power for five minutes before fully waking up.
Then, he stretched a comfortable stretch.
These past few nights were rare in many years where he didn’t have nightmares and slept till dawn.
Ever since the Nightmare Game started, he finally didn’t have to fall into the fragments of nightmares every night when he went to sleep, but could choose whether to enter them.
And the previous three nights, he chose not to enter fragments of nightmares. Last night, he also equipped the only character card [K], and put on a good show outside.
The murmuring whispers in his mind did not ruin his good mood at all, Bai Yi went into the kitchen, humming a song happily while making breakfast (or lunch?).
“Are you happy?” He hummed a song, picked up a fish from the fish tank, shook the fish’s head, then, “smack” it landed on the chopping board, “I am very happy~”
“…” The fish rolled its dead fish eyes.
“Happiness actually has no reason, let me tell you~”
While humming a song, Bai Yi waved a shiny kitchen knife. “Do you like this new kitchen knife I bought?”
Whoosh——
“I think you must like it.”
The blade was as fast as cutting a piece of soft tofu, drawing a quite dangerous trajectory in mid-air.
With one cut, it peacefully passed away.
“Happiness is such an easy thing~”
Bai Yi’s actions and tone became more and more cheerful, and he didn’t forget to mutter in the gaps of humming songs, as if treating a good friend.
“So what about this new flavor of sauce? This is carefully blended according to your body shape and meat quality, privately customized, and it must match your meat.”
“…Sure enough, you look very satisfied.”
“So, it’s decided.”
……
The golden oil in the iron pan sizzled, accompanied by a strange smell that filled the air.
Not far from the window, a sparrow suddenly fell headlong from an electric pole, fell into the bushes, and didn’t react for a long time, its eyes were dazed.
…Caught off guard and suffered a fatal blow.jpg
The remaining few sparrows flew away skillfully at the first sign of movement from the kitchen window.
Seeing their newly joined companion suffer such a heavy blow, their wings flapped even harder.
There should be background music here——

……..
After Bai Yi finished breakfast, he remembered what he had done last night and prepared to see how it turned out.
A flash of light in his palm, and a card slowly condensed.
However, in such a short time, it shouldn’t be so fast…
“Eh?” Bai Yi raised his eyebrows in surprise, and couldn’t help but weigh the card in his hand.
Although only one night had passed, the feeling this card gave him now had a subtle difference. It was as if…..it had become a little bit more real?
It was really just a little bit. This extremely subtle change might not be noticed by ordinary people, but Bai Yi, whose mental power was different from that of ordinary people, caught it at the first moment.
He was very curious and looked down at the card.
