Glorious God Throne - Chapter 9
A progress bar had mysteriously appeared at the top of the card. It was like the experience level bar in a game, and now there was a hint of blue at the far left.
The progress bar was marked in the middle with —
[Legend Degree 0.1%]
“Sure enough, my thinking was correct. The legend degree is all about making things happen~” Bai Yi immediately laughed with satisfaction.
As he happily played with the card in his hand, the progress bar in front of him began to “skyrocket”. In just a few minutes, it had become 1%, and it was still rising.
This gave Bai Yi a little surprise.
He had only tried the effect of equipping the character card for the first time, and he hadn’t even started to make a serious mess yet. The growth of the legend degree was so unexpected…
It seemed that the lucky customer not only willingly became a test subject but also kindly helped him with some publicity.
Moreover, it spread so quickly in just one morning, it was obviously not just simple word-of-mouth.
Bai Yi thoughtfully opened his phone.
He quickly saw the news published today on a local news and entertainment official account.
[Daily Fun News V: #Man Drunkenly Reports False Murder Case#]
[At nine o’clock this morning, a man reported that he had accidentally entered a murder scene, encountered a psychopathic killer, and two victims had been killed. He narrowly escaped with his life. After investigation by the Yuan Yang City Public Security Bureau, it was found that there was no such thing. It is possible that the man had hallucinations after drinking and mistook them for reality.]
[According to a reporter’s investigation, the reporter Han had been drinking in a bar until the early hours of the morning, was in a state of drunkenness, and had fought with someone. He had a head injury and braved the rain to go home at night. At eight o’clock this morning, he was found unconscious on the street, with a high fever, and was sent to the hospital. After waking up, Han immediately called the police, claiming to have encountered a murder case, and provided a description of the murder scene. The police verified that there was no place that matched the description. Han did not give up and is still actively looking for evidence.]
[Here, the official kindly reminds all citizens: Drink in moderation. Drunkenness harms the body and the mind. Try not to walk alone at night after drinking, and pay attention to safety!]
The news was followed by a detailed video link, including Han’s description of his experience that night in the news.
By this time, several hours had passed since the news was published, and the comment section was completely occupied by silly netizens.
[23333 These days, all kinds of silly things are popping up. Breaking into a room to kill, killing two at a time, and finally sparing a drunk with zero combat power, do you think I would believe it?] (TL: 23333=LOL)
[This guy must have watched too many movies, thinking he was in a movie after getting drunk. So let me just say it, the villain setting is too strong, the protagonist setting is too trash, and in the end, he can only survive by being spared by the villain, hmmm the plot is extremely stupid, it’s bound to flop!]
[Speaking of which, could it really be some kind of novel movie promotion? It’s not impossible considering the integrity of those movie companies! An inn on a rainy night, a psychopathic killer, and a blonde beauty, I can! I really can! Hehehehe~]
[I just want to say, it’s fine for such people to waste social resources by living, but can they not cause trouble for the police station? Do you know how many important things the police have to deal with every day, can you shake off the alcohol in your brain before reporting!]
Everyone’s reaction was the same. They simply didn’t believe what Han Shan said in the video. If there really was such an inn, could it disappear overnight?
So, this was nothing more than a drunkard’s delusion.
As the silly netizens in the comment section spoke, the legend degree progress bar on the “Ghost in the Rainy Night” card was slowly increasing.
Bai Yi watched the video from beginning to end.
Han Shan’s reaction at the beginning was not unexpected, and the police’s actions were even less surprising.
But when he saw the end, he found that after the unsuccessful report, Han Shan actually took his clothes from that night to the hospital for a blood test, even though the hospital did not agree…
“He could actually think of this, he’s a bit smarter than I originally thought.”
Bai Yi stroked his chin, his eyes full of anticipation.
— The entire scene, along with the bodies and blood, were all fictitious constructs of the nightmare crystal. After the character card and the scene were taken back together, would the blood that had stained the other party still exist?
Would it disappear along with the scene, or would it become real?
Even he was very curious.
If in the end no result could be obtained, and there was no stranger’s blood at all, would that guy be hit so hard that he would doubt life and have some mental problems?
When everyone denies the truth of a matter, and there are countless pieces of evidence that can prove its falsehood…what can be used to define the so-called true and false?
Just like when the whole world thinks you’re crazy, how do you prove that you’re sane?.. Maybe even you start to doubt whether you’re normal.
Bai Yi’s gaze fell on the progress bar on the card.
—— Although the news about the “Ghost in the Rainy Night” had already spread, because the information was not yet complete and the situation of this card had not been fully outlined in everyone’s mind, and people did not believe the truth of this matter, the increase in the legend degree was almost negligible.
“You said before that increasing the legend degree can make the illusory scene gradually become real…so, if the legend degree is enough, it shouldn’t be a problem to make a few drops of blood become real, right?”
Bai Yi summoned the nightmare game system.
[The current legend degree is enough to transform a part of the fictitious scene into reality, and the degree of transformation is equivalent to the percentage of the legend degree. Currently, 3.7% can be transformed. But which part is transformed first is determined by the depth of the impression caused by the legend, and is not controlled by the system or the player.]
So, the most critical evidence in this matter, the existence of those few drops of blood, was completely in a state of Schrödinger’s blood?
(TL: from ‘Schrödinger’s cat’-discussing an uncertain state. If no one observes this uncertain state, it will always be in uncertainty. As long as someone observes, then this uncertain state will disappear, convert to a fixed state.)
The lucky customer he had chosen, in the end, either found nothing and fell into the pit of possibly having hallucinations, thus doubting life, or found the existence of strange blood but found the situation becoming more bizarre and strange, thus doubting life even more…even he, the puppeteer behind the scenes, found it hard to predict.
However, a story with an unknown direction was more interesting.
Thinking about it, Bai Yi couldn’t help but show a wickedly amusing expression: “Now, things have become fun.”
****
At the same time, someone walked out of the hospital with a dejected look.
Standing at the entrance of the hospital, Han Shan held the blood-stained clothes in his arms, his expression very ugly.
No matter how he had wheedled and threatened, the hospital had not agreed to his request for a blood test.
His request was really too difficult for people.
He had been injured and bled before, and his clothes were already stained with blood. Then it was washed by the heavy rain, and the area of the bloodstains was even larger.
Now, he insisted that there might be someone else’s blood in such a large area of bloodstains, and asked the hospital to test it bit by bit, which was simply not a common trouble.
If there really was a murder case, and the police stepped in, the hospital might agree to such a troublesome request.
But now, apart from what Han Shan himself said, which was not known to be true or false, there was no other evidence. He personally went to the hospital for a blood test, and the hospital naturally didn’t want to deal with it.
They were practically looking at him as if he were mentally ill.
“Darn it!”
He couldn’t help but punch the pillar next to him, his heart was both anxious and depressed, and he was filled with indescribable fear.
The reason he was so persistent was not because he had such a strong sense of justice, but simply because…as soon as he thought of that psychopath who terrified him, he couldn’t help but tense up, feeling both fear and anger.
As long as that guy wasn’t caught for a day, the shadow lingering in his heart would never dissipate…
What’s more, now that the news had somehow spread, perhaps, that psychopathic murderer would come to take revenge on him…Han Shan shivered all over!
“I think, I can try to find someone to test the blood.”
Just then, someone suddenly spoke up, interrupting the fear that had suddenly sprung up in his mind because of that thought.
Han Shan was startled and turned around subconsciously, becoming even more surprised. “Why is it you?”
The young man who suddenly appeared was in a police uniform, with a crew cut, gentle and upright eyebrows, and still retained eighty percent of his good looks under this hairstyle. It was that young policeman.
Li Fufeng smiled, didn’t answer, just reached out his hand, indicating for him to hand over the blood-stained clothes. “If you’re willing, you can give it to me. I’ll find someone to test the blood.”
Han Shan looked at him uncertainly, “You believe what I said…”
“I can tell that you’re not lying, and I can see that you’re really scared right now.” Li Fufeng pondered, “Whether it’s true or just a false alarm…”
“In any case, if there really is a murderer, we’ll arrest him. If not, then you can rest assured.”
He said this in a jokingly relaxed tone.
“As a law-abiding citizen, being so fearful within our jurisdiction, this is my dereliction of duty.”
