Glorious God Throne

Chapter 13

“Kill someone casually…”

This was indeed a task without any difficulty.

However, considering the aim to maximize completion, simply killing a person and ending the first week would undoubtedly be a waste.

——I need to collect as much information as possible.

Bai Yi, clutching his head, crawled up from the ground, his palm naturally reaching out to the wall next to him, paved with white tiles.

His gaze naturally swept around the room.

It looked like a school bathroom. In the mirror on the adjacent wall, a frail-looking teenager dressed in a large blue and white striped school uniform was reflected.

His eyebrows and corners of his mouth were marked with obvious bruises and scrapes. His school uniform was dirty, with some areas stained with splashed water. He looked very disheveled.

Through the messy and heavy bangs that were lifted, a pair of eyes that clearly did not match his temperament quietly observed everything, revealing an obvious color of contemplation in his pupils.

The dazzling afternoon sun shone through the window on one side, clearly telling him that unless it was a holiday, it should be class time for students now.

Bai Yi turned and walked towards the door. A phantom arrow timely appeared in mid-air — the system kindly pointed out the direction to the classroom after leaving the bathroom.

On the way, information about this character naturally appeared in Bai Yi’s mind.

[Xu Dong]

[Male]

[16 years old]

[High school sophomore]…

One by one, small bubbles popped up in his mind.

As for why he would appear in such a disheveled state during class time…

For Xu Dong himself and the teachers and students of the school, his appearance in any disheveled state at any place in the school every day was not surprising. It was as normal as having three meals a day.

——This is the normal treatment for a toy.

——Sometimes, there were too many people who wanted to play with this toy in a single day. Perhaps he had to rush around three times a day, waking up in the bathroom in the morning, missing lunch because he was locked in the art room at noon, and being locked on the rooftop to feel the cool breeze at night.

The power of habit was strong. When something happened every day, even if some people thought it was wrong at first, over time, they gradually saw it as a part of the normal world. Perhaps if it didn’t happen one day, they would find it strange.

Everything that happened to “Xu Dong” had long been taken for granted by everyone, and they even couldn’t be bothered to guess in what state he would appear today.

When the boy with water stains on his clothes appeared at the classroom door, it only drew a dismissive glance from others.

Even the teacher who was lecturing just paused for a moment, skillfully and naturally instructed, “Xu Dong, you’re late. Go back to your seat first, don’t disturb everyone.”

The boy responded as usual, silently walked through the aisle between the desks and chairs, stepped over a foot that someone suddenly stretched out, and quickly scanned the classroom.

A phantom arrow pointed straight to an empty seat in the corner of the last row of the classroom, and Bai Yi walked over.

Then, he took out a black leather notebook from the crumpled bag on his seat, sat down and started writing vigorously.

[Group A, Row 1, Seat 1, Male, has a certain hostility towards Xu Dong, judged from his height and appearance, possibly due to inner inferiority. Suspected to like the girl sitting next to him, can be used.]

[Group A, Row 1, Seat 2, Female, has a cold and ignoring attitude towards Xu Dong, judged from her clothes, her family is not wealthy, the hairpin on her head obviously exceeds the affordable economic quota, observed to be very cherished. Suspected to be a gift from an important person, can be used.]

[Group A, Row 2, Seat 1…]

In just one class period, Bai Yi had roughly observed everyone in the classroom and recorded the preliminary information in this black leather notebook.

During the break, Bai Yi casually glanced at the seating chart and everyone’s names near the podium, and then corresponded these names with the codes in the notebook.

——There was still an hour and a half before school was over in the afternoon. It was enough for him to continue observing and preliminarily verifying his conclusions.

He began to seemingly casually strike up conversations with the NPCs around him that he had marked as “cold”.

Under the effect of the “Praise of the Blind” passive aura and Bewitch lv3, the NPCs’ “coldness” quickly turned into “friendliness”, even though this passively increased “friendliness” was very limited.

It didn’t take long for Bai Yi to get the information he wanted from these NPCs, and he made appropriate modifications and supplements to the entries in the notebook.

For example, he identified the main people who used Xu Dong as a toy on weekdays, determined which of the people he was currently observing could be used, and who was most suitable for completing the task.

Others were unaware of this, but they felt a bit strange, “Today’s Xu Dong doesn’t seem so annoying…”

“…Strange, why did I find him annoying before?”

But such puzzling thoughts were fleeting and did not continue to ponder.

When Bai Yi no longer actively tried to talk to others, under the effect of “Praise of the Blind”, his own sense of existence was instantly reduced to the extreme, no longer attracting attention.

This saved him a lot of unnecessary trouble.

****

In the evening, Jingchuan left the school gate.

“Today you didn’t see, when Xu Dongdong came in from outside, that ghostly appearance…” He and a few boys around him were gesticulating and laughing, full of schadenfreude.

“If you ask me, there’s nothing fun about Xu Dongdong. Every time he just has that gloomy ghostly appearance. And today’s routine is already old…” Some people found it boring, “When will there be something fresh?”

The boy who spoke was very tall, unusually burly among his peers. The people around him obviously followed his lead. As soon as he spoke impatiently, several boys, including Jingchuan, nodded in agreement.

“Boss Fang is right, it’s really a bit boring to play like this all the time. And Xu Dongdong, he only knows how to play turtle, it’s not interesting to play…”

Arriving at a park near the school, the boys quickly dismissed the shrinking turtle they mentioned, and took out a soccer ball from their backpacks.

——This park, originally planned as a key city construction project but later abandoned for unknown reasons, had a large open space. It had long been occupied by them as a soccer field for after-school play.

Not until dusk fell and the sunset was almost gone, did the sweaty boys finally finish playing soccer. They each picked up their backpacks and ran towards their homes.

Jingchuan went west alone, taking a different route from the others.

He bought a bottle of iced soda at the snack shop he passed by every day on his way home. Just after paying the bill, his gaze inadvertently swept over a familiar figure.

The girl had taken off her large and ugly school uniform jacket, revealing her undeveloped figure. She had undone her original hairstyle, and her black and straight long hair fell down, without any decoration, naturally exuding the charm of youth.

She stood under a street lamp opposite the snack shop, her body sideways to this side, her gaze on the phone in her hand, occasionally looking around, seemingly waiting for someone.

The sky was extremely dark, the light from the street lamp shone on her fair profile, and she looked very anxious.

…A good student who goes home on time every day after school, how could she suddenly appear here? Who was she waiting for?

Jingchuan subconsciously walked out of the snack shop, hid behind a tree at the shop door, and quietly looked across the street.

Then, his eyes widened in shock.

A figure walked out from behind the tree shadow of the street lamp, came to the girl, seemed to give her something, and the two laughed and talked for a while, the atmosphere seemed very harmonious.

“Xu, Dong, Dong!”

Jingchuan suddenly clenched his fists, his eyes blazing with fire.

Shock, astonishment, and a certain indescribable sense of humiliation all surged up at the same time.

He watched as the two said goodbye and parted ways, the girl’s figure disappearing in another direction. He immediately ran across the road, chasing after the other person, and followed him.

Jingchuan chased him directly into an alley nearby.

The last bit of sunset had already sunk.

He didn’t know if it was because it was too dark, or the other person was too fast, but in a blink of an eye, that person was gone.

In the alley without street lights, Jingchuan chased for a while, gasping for breath, and vaguely saw a blurry shadow ahead.

“Xu Dongdong, stop——!”

He suddenly found the strength, running and shouting at the same time.

The next moment, a gust of wind came from the side.

Jingchuan, who was running, felt his face being scraped painfully.

Bang——

A heavy brick hit him squarely in the face, making him dizzy. He instinctively fell to the side, reaching out to brace himself against the uneven wall.

Before he could recover from the dizziness and see who had attacked him and where the brick had come from, a figure lightly jumped down from the top of the wall, took a few steps over, and there was another brick!

This one hit him squarely on the forehead.

Jingchuan felt his forehead was dizzy and painful, and he passed out directly.

Bai Yi squatted down, not reassured, and added another brick. Only when he was sure that he was really unconscious, did he feel relieved.

He threw away the brick, and his palm lightly patted with joy. Just like a trainer who had successfully captured a wild Pokémon.

“——Aha, capture suc–cess—ful～!”

Then, Bai Yi headed straight for a corner of the alley not far ahead.

There, a tree growing slantingly from the outside stretched its sturdy branches in, and an empty blue and white school uniform was hung there, gently swaying in the evening breeze.

In the dim night, looking from the special perspective of the alley entrance, it looked like a blurry figure.

Bai Yi took off the school uniform, walked back to the person who had fallen on the ground, directly used the school uniform as a rope to tightly bind the person’s hands, and brutally dragged him deeper into the alley.

Jingchuan’s phone somehow appeared in his hand. In the screen that had been unlocked by fingerprint, a communication interface was opened, and many familiar names scrolled by.

Classmates, teachers, parents…

Bai Yi finished reading the conversations with other people on the phone within a week, and started typing on the phone, imitating Jingchuan’s tone.

“Who should be the next capture target…”

TN: 许咚 is the real name; 许咚咚 should be the nickname given by his classmates/bullies
