Chapter 20
The idle mode had been turned off.
The ti in the Nightmare Fragnt instance had accelerated to ten years later, and the character had grown to the peak state within this instance.
Bai Yi slowly opened his eyes, accompanied by the system’s narration, as he passed through the deep sea filled with large fragnts of stars.
A wind blew from afar, causing his collar to rustle.
He was standing at an unprecedented height. With a slight downward shift of his gaze, he could see the continuous city buildings under his feet.
The rich night enveloped the city, and the flickering neon lights drew a series of crisscrossing “rainbows” on the pitch-black night sky, like a child’s crayon drawing.
Bai Yi stood on the rooftop. Behind him, the unsealed door faintly transmitted the elegant piano music and speeches.
Whether from the luxurious scale of this building or from the words floating out from behind the door, it was undoubtedly a grand and extraordinary party taking place here.
Yet, he stood alone on the rooftop, enjoying the breeze, standing at the highest point of this city, appreciating the scenery under his feet.
This inevitably reminded Bai Yi of the first ti he entered this ga, the embarrassnt that this character had shown.
——It was a startling contrast.
Bai Yi sighed imdiately, “Dongdong ah Dongdong, I didn’t expect that after ten years, you have changed from a double ‘Dong’ to a single ‘Dong’! The aura is different all of a sudden! Did the system really not choose the [show-off] trait at the beginning?”
After a round of indiscriminate mockery of the character, the system, and even himself who had beco this character, he took his hand out of his pocket–yes, this body was indeed in the show-off pose of one hand in the pocket–and then concluded.
“Ah, it’s like a living history of the evolution of a waste material stream novel protagonist~”
With such a sigh, Bai Yi casually pulled open the panel.
One after another, historical ssages brushed past on the panel.
[Idle mode has been activated, character fate deduction in progress.]
[Under the cultivation and influence of the player, your character [Xu Dong] had evolved from a weak and incompetent waste to a demon possessing a series of traits such as coldness, cunning, disguise, and insight.]
[In the first year of your release, your character [Xu Dong] continued to play the demon ga, creating the most terrifying and bizarre [Nightmare March] in Qingnan High School.

[In the third year of your release, your character [Xu Dong] entered a university in the sa city and found new fun in the new school. Feeling that he was understaffed alone, he began to hide in the dark to select targets to develop wings and build an information network that fully covered the surroundings.]
At this point, the screen was filled with more and more text.
[Your character [Xu Dong] obtained a simple-minded and physically developed tool person
1 through deception.]
[Your character [Xu Dong] obtained a smart and wise tool person
1 who knows how to judge the situation through coercion and temptation.]

…….
[In the fourth year of your release, your character [Xu Dong] was working hard to build a career.]
[In the fifth year of your release, your character [Xu Dong] successfully established his own [Shadow Council]. With the assistance of the “Four Pillars”, it developed into an invisible hand hidden in the shadows, a greater evil above evil.]

[Restricted by the size of the Nightmare Fragnt instance, your character [Xu Dong] had reached the peak and beca the crownless king hidden in the deepest shadow of ‘Dawn City’. He was the top puppet master in the world, holding the line that controlled any person in this city.]
The scrolling historical information finally rolled to the end, and the system began to remind: [The end of fate deduction has been reached, the character card has been shaped, do you want to end the instance and extract the card?]
“…?” A question mark appeared above Bai Yi’s head.
“Otherwise? Not extracting the card, idling for half a day just to see the character’s history of showing off? There’s no need for such obvious questions, the system should learn to be more flexible.”
As he spoke, he had already stood on the edge of the rooftop, looking down at the brightly lit city beneath him with an appreciative gaze, and he suddenly started laughing.
“——My answer is, of course.”
As his words fell, Bai Yi suddenly spread his arms.
Then, without any warning, he leapt forward.
His body was falling rapidly in mid-air, the whole world was upside down in Bai Yi’s eyes, just like a reflection in the water.
Then, this reflection gradually stirred up ripples, large pieces of shattered patterns spread around.
——Bai Yi was like suddenly jumping into the water, instantly smashing that perfect reflection in the water!
The sound of urgent raindrops ca from far and near into his ears, water vapor drifted into the room from the wide-open window, Bai Yi opened his eyes in the faint sll of rainwater, and spread his palm.
A phantom card fell from the sky and landed in his hand.
[You have obtained a special two-star character card [Puppet Master]]
[The characteristics of this card have been determined and cannot be modified.]
[This card cos with a special identity [Master of the Shadow Council], inherent leadership temperant, and skills to bewitch people’s hearts.]
[This card cos with a blank special scene [Shadow Council], currently in addition to the chairman, four core mbers and several peripheral mbers can be recruited from the outside world. The chairman can give the “Four Pillars” template blessing to the four core mbers.]
[Explanation: This mber must have a certain fit with the “Four Pillars” template. After the template is blessed, the “Four Pillars” skill will be automatically obtained, and it can continue to improve through efforts and other ways.]
“Is this a card that cos with its own organizational system?”
Bai Yi was spinning the character card at his fingertips rapidly.
“Just need to pull in a few more people, and an organization can be directly established?”
The front of the card was a blurry black fog, heavy shadows shrouded in the fog, obscuring the silhouette of the person in the fog.
On the back of the card, several lines of text were arranged side by side——
[Puppet Master★★]
[Mysterious Leader of the Shadow Council]
[The Greatest Evil Above Evil]
[Puppet Master Hidden Under Heavy Curtains]
The card was spinning rapidly, the illusory brilliance flickered in mid-air, reflecting in Bai Yi’s thoughtful eyes.
He slowly curved up the corners of his mouth.
“When sleepiness cos, a pillow is provided. This card has suddenly given
so new inspiration.”
Bai Yi looked up at the heavy rain curtain outside the window, suddenly raised his palm, and threw the card out like shooting a dart.
“Biu～～～”
He made a sound for himself like whistling.
The card followed his intention, turned a circle in mid-air, and flew back.
On the surface of the card that was shrouded in heavy shadows and black fog, it seed that soone had hooked up the corner of their mouth, revealing a smile with the exact sa curvature.
