Chapter 12

Although he had obtained a new card, Bai Yi did not consider himself a person who was fond of the new and tired of the old. Moreover, the card [Ghost in the Rainy Night] had not yet completed its mission.

As a person who had been forced to accept various chaotic information streams for a long time, good and bad, sweet and bitter, dirty and smelly, all crammed into his head, but still lived strongly to the present, his psychology was still normal, he had not become abnormal and he considered himself a very lively and positive good citizen, Bai Yi had always been committed to quietly eliminating those stinky garbage that would cause him mental pollution in his own way.

The old city area of today was an environment that he had worked hard for many years, carefully selected for himself, and built that was still acceptable.

But outside the old city area, those garbage that had once left a deep impression on Bai Yi and still emitted a stench, the progress of cleaning was extremely slow, and there was still too much waiting to be cleaned.

Before the Nightmare Game system went online, Bai Yi could only choose a slow and roundabout way.

But the launch of the system, and the appearance of the card [Ghost in the Rainy Night], made him realize that he seemed to have a simpler, more brutal, and more convenient and quick choice.

——A ghostly figure, unrelated to himself on the surface, killing as simple as eating and drinking, wasn’t it the most convenient choice for a big clean-up?

Therefore, he entered the Nightmare Game during the day these days, and Bai Yi was not idle at night.

Before going to sleep, he would always equip the [Ghost in the Rainy Night] card and walk around those “stinky garbage” that he had long noted in his notebook.

——What bad thoughts could Bai Yi have? It was just to step on the spot in advance, so it would be more convenient to clean up at that time.

The characteristic of [Appearing Anytime in the Rainy Night] certainly restricted this card to only appear in the rainy night, but it also meant that as long as it was a place where it rained, he could appear at any time.

Bai Yi only needed to choose the location according to the weather that night, and he could throw this card into any place where it rained.

Because Bai Yi did not deliberately hide his tracks, in the past few days, many people have seen such a figure strolling on the streets of Yuanyang City at night.

Black clothes, black umbrella, light golden hair, an elegant temperament with an unclear face, these elements combined together were enough to make people impressed and couldn’t help but take a few more glances.

The Legend Degree rose slowly and subtly.

That night was no different.

As usual, Bai Yi controlled the [Ghost in the Rainy Night] card to make a round on the street, and Bai Yi [K] canceled the card equipment in a quiet corner without surveillance and disappeared on the spot.

On the second floor of the apartment in the old city area.

The illusory card condensed in the palm of his hand and slowly disappeared.

Bai Yi, lying on the bed, closed his eyes, ready to sleep.

Before falling asleep, he faintly heard the sound of a police siren outside the window.

Then, there was the noisy sound of every household hearing the movement and running out to watch the excitement. There were women’s screams, old people’s curses, and unbelievable cries.

Various information flowed, like leaves swept up by the wind, and came straight to Bai Yi’s crown.

“Oh, has the last garbage in this city been cleaned up...”

Bai Yi didn’t get up, but rolled around on the bed. Three seconds later, he couldn’t help but roll again.

In the extremely joyful mood, the noisy, chaotic, harsh and sharp sounds in his mind seemed to become much more pleasant, not so unbearable.

He fell asleep with a joyful mood.

“On June 17, 2024, you planned a car accident to kill a teacher from the city’s No.1 Middle School, Gu Fangyou. You admit all of this, right?”

In the police station, an old policeman in his forties, with a stern expression, was flipping through the interrogation record and speaking.

“——Seven years later, why did you choose to attack Gu Fangyou? What is your motive for murder?”

“...Why?”

The man sitting across slowly raised his head, his tone unwilling.

“Who let him discover my identity!”

“I just want to live a peaceful life now, he wants to destroy all of this, I can only choose to kill him.”

——Hmm???

——Already discovered the identity of the fugitive, didn’t report it at the first time, but let the other party notice and counter-kill?

The experienced old policeman keenly realized that something was wrong here, “Explain in detail from start to finish, starting with how you knew that Gu Fangyou discovered your identity.”

****

Meanwhile, Bai Yi had a simple lunch and logged into the Nightmare Game again.

His consciousness surfaced from the deep sea and woke up in the nightmare.

He noticed that this body was sore all over, curled up on the ground in a self-protective posture, his head dizzy.

The system’s narration appeared in time——

[You are an ordinary boy with no special features. Average looks, average grades, nothing stands out. You have spent the sixteen years of your life in mediocrity, enduring your father’s scolding and endless bullying from others.]

[You are the joke, toy, and punching bag in many people’s hearts. Your existence has entertained their cheap and boring lives, enriching their extracurricular life.]

[This day, you finally made up your mind to change yourself, the first step is to hone your courage and guts.]

[You decide to casually kill someone.]

The narration got to this point, a low whisper like a horror game voiceover murmured in his ear, revealing a bit of unwillingness and madness.

“Anyone will do...”

“I’ve had enough——”

[Task: Casually kill someone.]

[Task completion degree is judged by the method of murder, the probability of being identified as the murderer, and the probability of being arrested.]
