Gatekeeper of all realms

Chapter 2 Door

He didn't know how long he slept.

I was obviously working overtime at work, but I was so tired that I fell asleep, but when I opened my eyes again, I became a different person.

A junior high school student named Shen Ye.

In his own perception, this junior high school student should have died of a high fever.

He replaced him himself.

The incident should have been told to the student's parents.

but--

I have arrived in this world and become a junior high school student named Shen Ye.

If you make trouble again at this time, if you are sent to a mental hospital, your life will be ruined.

Besides.

Day and night, I felt meticulously cared for.

Their tired and heartbreaking expressions, their eyes red from crying, and their company day and night all gave me an inexplicable feeling.

After all, I was an orphan in my previous life and had never experienced this kind of parental care.

and so--

just forget it.

--They come, the security.

"You look better. The doctor said your condition is improving."

Mother Zhao Xiaoshang was holding a bowl of soup, took a spoonful, and brought it to her mouth.

The soup was finished quickly.

Zhao Xiaoshang got up and went to wash the dishes.

Shen Ye was the only one left in the room.

He lay silently on the hospital bed, reached out and lifted the schoolbag on the chair next to him onto the bed.

Open the bag.

There are four books in total that come into view:

"strength training",

"body shape",

"Spiritual Enlightenment",

"Chinese Language and Scientific Knowledge".

——and a bunch of exercise books.

This world is completely different from Blue Star, and the exam content students face is also very different.

"Night."

Mother's voice suddenly sounded.

Shen Ye turned around and saw her mother's face filled with worry.

"We missed the first exam. If you really can't handle it, just stay home and don't take the exam."

"We will ask Grandpa for help later and arrange a job for you."

she said carefully.

Give up the high school entrance examination...

Shen Ye closed his eyes and thought for a while.

The first subject of the high school entrance examination is "Strength Exercise", which specifically tests the physical fitness of school students.

Students often injure their muscles and bones during this exam.

So after finishing this exam, students will enter seven days of review and rest time, and then the second exam——

"Shape".

In fact, it is body and footwork.

He missed the "strength training" test, and there were only three days left before the second "body technique and footwork" test.

When the predecessor was alive, his grades were always good, ranking first and second in the school.

He was full of longing for high school.

This time, he suddenly fell ill and missed another high school entrance exam. Even if he got high scores in the next exam, he wouldn't be able to go to a good school.

This kind of blow is not unbearable for a fifteen-year-old boy.

That's why my mother had such a suggestion.

but……

She was not as fragile as she thought.

"Mom, are you afraid that I won't be able to think about it?" Shen Ye laughed.

Zhao Xiaoshang gently held his hand and hesitated to speak.

"Don't worry, even if I can't get into a key high school, I still have to take the exam - I want to continue studying, no matter how bad the school is," Shen Ye said.

Zhao Xiaoshang breathed a long sigh of relief, hugged him, and whispered:
"I'll go find your father right away, and we'll try to get you a marrow-boosting pill. We'll make sure you're in the best possible condition for the exam."

After saying that, she hurriedly left the room.

Shen Ye was the only one left in the room.

He lowered his head and looked at the book in his hand silently.

Marrow-Building Pill is a very expensive pill.

In order to recover physically, my parents really tried their best.

A warm current floated in my heart.

This feeling seems to be a remnant of the original body, and it seems to be newly born in my heart.

Don’t think about it anymore, just review it carefully.

Shen Ye opened the book "Shadow" and read it carefully.

These lessons in junior high school are all about laying the foundation, and at the same time, they also take into account the investigation of world knowledge.

For example, the fourth book is "Chinese and Scientific Knowledge".

If you can pass the high school entrance examination, you can hope to learn more profound and superior exercises in high school.

I finally came to this world, do I really want to find a job and live an ordinary life?
joke.

Must go to high school!
Shen Ye secretly made up his mind.

suddenly.

A voice sounded in my ears:

"Got you."

The sound came suddenly, as if someone was standing behind him and speaking into his ear.

The hair on Shen Ye's body stood up.

"who!"

He suddenly stood up from the bed and looked around.

All was quiet as usual.

nobody.

There was no movement.

Nothing.

Hell, I almost ran away from the door.

Where did that voice come from——

Shen Ye was suddenly stunned.

At some point, a door stood at the end of his bed.

The door looked very old, exactly like the ward door in the hospital.

Looking in through the window on the door, all I could see was darkness.

Shen Ye froze in place, his eyes turning from surprise to fear at first, but soon turned to calmness again.

"Yes, this is the ward door that the predecessor encountered."

"...You killed him, and you want to deal with me?"

Shen Ye suddenly became angry.

In that world, although I was an orphan, I was still an atheist who was born under the red flag and grew up in the spring breeze.

Back then, I was not afraid of crossing the tomb alone.

However, in this world, there are ghosts who dare to come out and deal with living people?

It's not enough to kill a young man who was about to take the high school entrance examination, but he also created a door to scare people here.

What do you mean?
I have died once, why should I be afraid of you?
——If you want to fight or kill, come here!
He looked left and right, picked up the lamp on the bedside table, rushed to the end of the bed in two steps, raised the lamp with both hands, and shouted angrily:
"Pretend to be a ghost!"

The door was kicked open by him, revealing the scene inside.

——Behind the door is a long dark corridor.

At the end of the corridor, a huge humanoid skeleton more than four meters long was lying there, eating a bloody corpse.

Hearing the noise, the skeleton slowly raised its huge skull, with ghostly lights in its eyes, and looked towards Shen Ye. The disdain on Shen Ye's face froze instantly.

——I really didn’t expect it to be such a terrifying thing.

Humph, this kind of thing...

"I'm sorry to bother you. I hope you enjoy your meal!"

He smiled brightly, nodded in greeting, and hid the lamp behind him.

The skeleton suddenly let out a shrill roar and rushed towards this side at an extremely fast speed.

Shen Ye slammed the door shut.

Snapped!
There was a slight sound and the door disappeared.

It disappeared!

Shen Ye's whole body went limp and he fell on the bed.

Damn it.

The world is too dangerous.

Suddenly, Shen Ye discovered that there were faint lights appearing around him. They condensed in the air and appeared as lines of small characters:

"The evaluation entries obtained for this opening are:"

"Polite people."

"Gray Entry (Broken)."

"Equip this evaluation entry and you will receive the following blessings:"

“When you act politely, people think slightly better of you.”

"You can keep this evaluation entry and upgrade it in the future; you can also devour this evaluation entry to obtain basic attribute points."

Shen Ye finished reading quickly and fell into deep thought.

How come this door seems to have become some kind of ability, and can also give me certain evaluations.

and many more!

Is this my ability?
Suddenly, that voice appeared in Shen Ye's ears again:

"finally found you."

"Who are you?" Shen Ye asked immediately.

"You are so rare, but I finally found you, someone who has awakened the ability of 'World Link'."

The voice continued: "Listen, I am sleeping in the depths of the nightmare world. If you can come and rescue me, I will give you a generous reward."

Shen Ye couldn't help but shook his head slightly.

rescue?

I didn't even dare to go in, let alone rescue him.

As if knowing what he was thinking, the voice said again:
"Don't be so quick to refuse. As a token of sincerity, I can tell you something."

"Now, open your schoolbag and find the metal sculpture in your pencil case."

Shen Ye was a little curious, so he took the schoolbag and opened the pencil case. Sure enough, he saw a metal one-horned ghost sculpture in the box.

Something is wrong.

According to the original body's recollection, he had never had such a metal sculpture.

Who put this sculpture into the pencil case?
The voice sounded:

"This is the 'Curse Sculpture of the King of All Fallen Evil Demons'."

"Over the long years, humans believed that it could open up another dimension and take away the lives and souls of other people in order to increase its own strength."

"This has happened millions of times, without fail."

Shen Ye listened carefully and asked:
"Are you trying to say that someone put this statue in my pencil case in order to kill me?"

"Yes, but you didn't die."

The voice continued, "What humans don't know is that although it is extremely powerful, if it fails to take the life of its target once, all the power accumulated in it will be poured into that target."

"These powers will create new abilities for that person that have never been before."

"——So you have obtained the extremely rare 'World Link' ability."

Shen Ye fell into silence.

in fact……

That boy died too.

It's just that I connected seamlessly and took over his body in an instant.

So this is a BUG?
The voice became full of desire:
"Come on, human, as you become stronger, you will surely reach the depths of the nightmare world and free me."

"I will repay you well. I will keep my word."

"What kind of existence are you?" Shen Ye asked.

"It took all my strength to communicate across the world... but I finally remembered you... I will come to find you again in the future."

The voice became smaller and smaller and gradually disappeared.

The room fell silent again.

Shen Ye squatted on the bed without moving, his expression somewhat solemn.

I?
Awakened ability?
He looked again at the metal sculpture in his hand.

However, he found that the sculpture had become dull and when he rubbed it with his hand, tiny cracks suddenly appeared on the surface of the sculpture.

Wow!

The sculpture turned into many pieces.

A gust of wind appeared out of nowhere and blew the debris into ashes.

——It no longer exists.

Who exactly wants to kill Shen Ye?

No.

I have to seize the time to improve my strength, at least to be able to protect myself!

He looked at the glowing small words in the air again.

"Polite people."

What the hell is this entry? It would be better to use it to increase your own strength.

"Swallow."

Shen Ye said silently in his heart.

The entry suddenly disappeared, and in its place was a glowing dot.

I saw the light spot floating in the air, circling slightly, and then flying into Shen Ye's body.

——Attribute points.

After the evaluation entry is devoured, attribute points are generated, which can be used to improve one's basic attributes.

But which attribute should be improved first?
Shen Ye began to carefully recall some knowledge of this world.

Generally speaking, humans have five major attributes, namely strength, agility, mental strength, understanding and resonance.

What happens if you add a little more power?

As soon as he thought about it, that bit of "light" suddenly turned into power and blessed him.

For an instant.

Shen Ye's body sank slightly, and it seemed that he had become a little thicker.

He picked up the plate on the table and squeezed it gently with both hands.

The iron plate was slightly bent.

Two lines of small words appeared in the void:

"Current strength level: ordinary adult male."

"Your physical fitness barely reaches the standard of an adult man. Please keep working hard."

A grown man?
This young man was only fifteen years old and still weak, yet his strength was enhanced in this way.

Shen Ye's thoughts changed.

That bit of "light" suddenly no longer added strength to him, but was instead drawn out and used to increase agility.

The body seems to become lighter.

The glowing small words appeared in the void again:

"Congratulations, you have reached the standard of a beginner parkour master."

Shen Ye took a quick run and jumped onto the wall. He ran two steps on the wall before falling back to the ground.

——It’s also quite powerful when added to agility!

Shen Ye took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and tried to calm himself.

With these two short attempts, he has understood one thing.

——Attribute points can be taken back at any time and assigned to anywhere else.

This is where the real horror lies.

He can instantly transform from a strength-type warrior into an agility-type assassin!
Things seemed to be getting interesting.
