Glorious God Throne

Chapter 22.1

“Mr. Zhou, I have already transferred the rent for the second half of the year to you. Have you received it?”

A young woman with a beautiful face leaned against the door, intentionally or unintentionally blocking it with her body. Her face was set with a standard smile, but her brow was slightly furrowed as she glanced at the middle-aged man in front of her.

“Received, received. You’re really efficient, Xiao Liu!”

The middle-aged man’s gaze remained fixed on her, sliding from her youthful and radiant face to her body. His oily face was filled with a sly smile. “I’ve worked with many tenants, but you, Xiao Liu, are the most trouble-free. You’re young, beautiful, and capable…”

He chuckled twice, his face displaying an even more obsequious smile, and pounded his chest.. “However, Xiao Liu, you’re a young girl from outside who has come to work here. You must have encountered many difficulties. You don’t understand the cunning ways of people. If you have any problems, just find me. I’m local and know some people!”

As he spoke, he glanced casually into the half-open door, ignoring the young woman’s increasingly furrowed brow.

Seeing that the other party did not invite him to come in and have a cup of tea, nor did their enthusiasm for conversation remain high, the middle-aged man who had been being overly courteous finally fell silent and stepped back a few steps.

“That’s it, Xiao Liu, I won’t bother you then. Remember, if you have any problems, don’t hesitate to find me. Don’t be shy!”

He had just turned around and taken a few steps when he heard a loud “bang” behind him. He turned back to see the door had already closed.

The man’s smile suddenly disappeared. He spat a mouthful of saliva onto the ground with force, his face turning increasingly ugly.

“Stinky b*tch! Not appreciating the respect given. Don’t know how many men have been played with, and yet looking down on me like that…”

Cursing all the way, he went upstairs and returned to his room, the anger in his heart burning more and more intensely.

Driven by an unknown fire, whether it was anger or lust or both, the man couldn’t wait to enter his bedroom and turn on his computer.

The small bedroom, dining room, bathroom… each area was captured clearly by the miniature camera, divided into different sizes on the computer screen.

The young woman he had just seen appeared on the screen.

Probably because she was alone at home and didn’t need to be proper, she was now casually sprawled on the sofa watching TV. Her left leg was crossed, her right leg bent up, and her palms rested on her knees. Due to this position, her skirt had slid down to her waist, revealing a pair of snow-white, straight legs with no cover whatsoever.

“Stinky b*tch, you look down on me, never thought Lao Zi would be able to see you every day, watching you whenever I want, knowing every detail of your legs, including the number and shape of the moles on your thighs, right?”

The middle-aged man in front of the screen muttered to himself with satisfaction, leaning forward towards the screen, his eyes unblinking.

As time gradually passed, the thick night slowly descended, accompanied by a downpour.

The time at the bottom of the computer screen reached eight o’clock in the evening. Noticing this, the man’s eyes lit up with excitement, his Adam’s apple visibly bobbing, revealing his anticipation.

He had closed all the other windows on the screen, enlarging the one belonging to the bathroom to full screen.

In the sound of rushing water, the generated white mist blurred the lens, the young woman’s figure faintly visible.

The man’s face was almost pressed against the screen. His greasy, disgusting skin was like a sticky piece of butter.

Just then, the entire screen suddenly went black.

“What’s going on?” The middle-aged man, who was immersed in his fantasies, had his good time interrupted. Before he could react, the screen in front of him suddenly turned blood red, as if a large amount of blood was flowing freely.

And in the screen full of blood, an eye that occupied half of the screen suddenly opened. The hollow white of the eye was filled with bloodshot veins, and the pitch-black pupil stared straight at him!

“Ah–!”

The middle-aged man, whose eyes were almost glued to the screen, screamed, flung the computer away with both hands, and instinctively jumped back, falling straight backwards.

He fell straight off the bed.

The shock of that moment sent his heart rate soaring to its peak, and he sat on the ground for more than ten seconds, unable to recover.

Thump, thump, thump…

There was a rhythmic knocking at the door outside.

The middle-aged man’s heart, which had just calmed down, tightened again.

“Who, who is it?”

He forced down his panic and called out.

The tightly locked door was slowly pushed open, and a shadow spread in through the gradually opening door gap. The incoming scent of rainwater made the middle-aged man shiver with cold.

“Good night, sir.”

An elegant and polite voice dispelled the eerie atmosphere. The man who stepped in shook the black umbrella he had folded in his hand, his pair of jade-colored eyes looking over with a smile.

His soft, light golden hair slid down his cheeks, the ends clearly dripping with water, yet he didn’t seem the least bit disheveled.

“Please forgive my intrusion.”

“On this rainy night, you wouldn’t coldly reject a traveler with nowhere to go, would you?”

****

On the second floor of an apartment in the old city, a hardcover notebook that looked somewhat old was spread open, revealing a page inside.

[Zhou, male, 41 years old, makes a living by collecting rent.]

[Garbage classification: ★★]

[His soul is extremely filthy, emitting disgusting spiritual fluctuations outward without realizing it. On a certain day of a certain month of a certain year, an ordinary middle school student was celebrating his junior high graduation by enjoying a meal at a newly opened restaurant nearby. He was attacked by the sudden disgusting spiritual fluctuations. Having no experience in dealing with it, he almost vomited on the spot. Not only did he nearly ruin the reputation of the restaurant and affect its business, but he also left a deep psychological shadow, causing him to stay away from this area ever since and lose his aesthetic appreciation for food, starting to learn to be self-reliant. Since then, whenever he encountered other disgusting pollution, he could maintain a normal heart and continue to eat with the disgusting smell. As long as the food I cook is bad enough, there is no factor that can make it taste worse, and I don’t have to worry about affecting my appetite anymore. Super great!]

[Cleanup status:]

A hand picked up the pen next to it and wrote three words in the last column: “[Cleaned up √.]”

Then, that hand turned to the next page.

****

“Brothers, I’m finally out! Damn it, being disciplined every day in there almost drove me crazy!”

“Good to have you out, Brother Yao. Come on, today the brothers will welcome you back, wash away the bad luck!”

A group of young men with hair dyed in various colors swarmed up, surrounding a tall young man with only a short layer of blue stubble on his forehead.

The group walked down the street, attracting the nearby people to shake their heads and avoid them, their eyes full of disdain.

They didn’t care, walking and shouting, “Brother Yao suffered a lot, now that he’s out, he needs to make up for it!”

“We heard there are a lot of rules in the juvenile detention center, we’re quite curious, how have you been these two years, Brother Yao?”

The young man called Brother Yao shrugged nonchalantly, “Just so-so. Who am I, can they control me? They think about brainwashing me with moral education every day, they really think I buy their stuff! Anyway, I’ve muddled through these two years, I’m a good man again when I come out!”

His tone was very arrogant, and the young men around him all bought it, nodding and giving thumbs up.

“Awesome, Brother Yao! We admire you without leaning on the wall!”

In the compliments of the crowd, “Brother Yao” held his head up even more proudly, making an expression that it was nothing.

“By the way.” He suddenly thought of something and asked, “How’s that lame guy? I stabbed him so many times back then, if he could save a life, it would be considered as me showing mercy. This wimp still wanted to compete with me for Yang Qingqing? Ha! I spared his life, and he didn’t appreciate it, but wanted to send me to eat bullets? Funny! I wasn’t even sixteen at the time!”

The Yang Qingqing in his words was the former class flower, and also the secret crush of many young men in the group, including “Brother Yao” himself. Unfortunately, Yang Qingqing rejected his confession and instead got together with a nerd they always looked down upon. He happened to catch the two dating and, feeling a strong sense of humiliation, impulsively attacked.

The lively crowd fell silent for a few seconds before someone finally spoke up.

“Brother Yao, you don’t know yet? While you were in for these two years, just last year, that lame guy actually got into a key university in the capital, and he even chose the law department! Do you think he’s funny? It’s so funny it could kill me!”

The others also laughed along, but there was some awkwardness in their smiles. Even if they were messing around, they knew the gap between the future of a key university student and theirs.

The face of “Brother Yao” suddenly darkened.

Someone was watching his face, cautiously saying, “I think that crippled guy is just waiting for you, Brother Yao, to come out. He must be holding a grudge and wants to take revenge on you! We need to be on guard.”

“Guard against him?” “Brother Yao” pointed at himself, suddenly snorted with disdain, “What a joke!”

“If that kid dares to trouble me, I’ll cripple his other leg too! He’ll become completely disabled!”

He made a harsh statement on the spot. The atmosphere, which had been somewhat awkward, immediately returned to its previous liveliness.

“Brother Yao is right, he’s just a crippled guy, we’re not afraid of him!”

“Let’s go, let’s go, let’s first welcome Brother Yao back! I’ve already reserved a table at the restaurant, after dinner we’ll go to the Sky Sea Bar, there’s a super hot chick there recently…”

……..

The colorful lights were changing, accompanied by intense dance music. The people swaying in the dance floor had blurred expressions, each face illuminated by the lights in various colors.

“Brother Yao, have another drink!”

“I can’t…” The young man called “Brother Yao” felt dizzy, his entire face twisted into a knot, “I drank too much at dinner, and now I’m drinking again, I really can’t…”

He felt a storm in his stomach, he didn’t care about saving face, he stood up directly, pushed the people around him away, and staggered out, “I’m going to the restroom first…”

The corridor to the restroom was dim, the constantly changing lights made his eyes dizzy. He stumbled forward with the help of the wall, and suddenly a figure appeared in his blurred vision.

Someone was walking towards him, the black umbrella in his hand was like a cane, every step he took made a “thud” sound.

This “thud, thud” sound inexplicably made his heart beat faster.

The dangerous intuition honed by his two years of experience in the juvenile detention center made him tense his body subconsciously, like a rabbit that had discovered a patrolling lion and hid in the bushes.

However, the person in front also stopped.

This stranger, who he didn’t recognize, slightly lowered his head to look at the young man who had slipped and fallen on his butt due to either drunkenness or fright. A perfect curve was drawn at the corner of his mouth.

“Sorry to keep you waiting, I seem to have arrived late.”

“Or perhaps, the timing is just right?”

……

[Zhang, male, 16 years old, just arrested for a crime.]

[Garbage Classification: ★☆]

[His soul was relatively filthy in nature, but extremely active and violent, long-term radiating 360 degrees of pollution to his middle school. A certain freshman who had just entered high school was tragically persecuted, at least five days a week under his negative ideological influence. The mind of the not yet adult suffered torment, the not yet formed world view was impacted, almost affecting physical and mental health, choosing to violently clear him who was close to the ink. Fortunately, the positive thinking and firm world view of a certain freshman was firm, not assimilated by his stinky soul and poor IQ, and did not do anything to ruin his future. Instead, when passing by and discovering that he had committed a serious criminal case, he transformed into an excellent citizen and actively reported. #Doing good deeds without leaving a name, I speak for environmental protection!#]

[Cleaning Status: Temporarily housed in a juvenile detention center, will come out to continue polluting the environment in two years, do not forget to clean.]

The hand holding the pen drew a line under the cleaning status column and wrote three more words: [Cleaned up√.]

……

[Xiao, female, 19 years old, sophomore.]

[Garbage Classification: ★]

[Her soul was nauseating in nature, with particularly strong mental fluctuations, emitting the smell of expired rotten food, and a strong sour taste containing jealousy. Every moment, various malicious ideas to frame excellent roommates emerged. A certain innocent high school student who passed by almost got shot, becoming one of her tools to frame her roommate. On the spot, he was hit by the stench and sour taste in her soul, almost thinking that he had encountered a new type of biochemical weapon attack. In order to save the entire Yuanyang City, say no to war, in order to maintain world peace, all biochemical weapons should be cleaned. #Start being a peace ambassador today!#]

[Cleaned up Status: Cleaned up √.]

…

[Cleaned up Status: Cleaned up√.]

…

[Cleaned up Status: Cleaned up√.]

The notebook was flipped page by page, and one after another trash waiting to be cleaned was marked with [Cleaned up√].

And a new page was turned again…
