Gatekeeper of all realms

Chapter 3 Contract
How did he summon that door?

It was as if he was reciting the phrase "run away through the door" in his mind.

"Door".

Shen Ye thought in his heart.

Quietly, the ward door appeared in front of Shen Ye again.

There is a notice posted on the door:
"You can call the Door to come at any time."

"But every day, only when you open the 'door' for the first time, you will get an evaluation entry."

“The higher the evaluation, the more powerful the entry will be, and the more attribute points will be converted.”

"In addition, the world currently connected to the 'gate' is:"

"Nightmare world."

Tsk.

You can only refresh entries once a day.

——The good wish of accumulating attribute points has come to nothing.

How to do?
In order to get a better evaluation tomorrow, you might as well make some preparations first.

Shen Ye leaned against the window glass and looked inside.

The four-meter-long skeletal monster returned to the other end of the corridor, gnawing on a corpse.

This kind of monster cannot be defeated with his current strength.

communication.

Communication is the cornerstone of human existence.

Shen Ye took a deep breath and turned the door handle hard.

A gust of wind blew.

"Hi!"

He calmed down and said loudly:

"Excuse me for disturbing your meal, it's like this. After several months of polishing, we have launched a revolutionary new mobile phone. Its performance-"

The skeleton monster roared and rushed over.

Bang!
The door to the ward was slammed shut by Shen Ye, and the connection between the two worlds was immediately interrupted.

Followed by.

The door gradually disappeared, and the monster disappeared with it.

Shen Ye was left standing there, putting his hand on his forehead and trying to stabilize his mind.

——I was so nervous just now that I said the lines I used in my previous life as a sales pitch.

What a shame.

Luckily no one knew.

"Come on, Shen Ye, you can do it."

He cheered himself up.

"Door."

The ward door appears again.

Looking through the window into the corridor, I saw that the skeleton monster had returned to its original position, opened its mouth, and was about to continue eating the corpse.

Shen Ye opened the door and smiled:
"Sorry to bother you with your meal, but I actually want to ask you, why don't we be friends?"

The skeleton monster rushed over again.

Bang.

The door closes and communication fails.

Shen Ye fell into deep thought.

Judging from the other party's reaction, it seemed that he was on its recipe.

If you think about it from another person's perspective, if you were a monster, you wouldn't be able to communicate with food.

So when will you communicate with food?
...Yes.

"Door."

Shen Ye thought silently in his heart.

The ward door appeared in front of him again.

Looking in through the windowpane.

I saw the skeletal monster's head pressed against the window glass, chewing the corpse while looking towards Shen Ye coldly.

There was only a glass window between it and Shen Ye.

——This monster is a master!
As soon as you open the door, it can rush over and eat you!

However, Shen Ye could still manage to calm down.

The "door" is one's own ability. Once it is destroyed, the connection between the two worlds will be immediately severed.

And he can summon the "door" and dissolve the "door" at any time.

You are safe.

This skeletal monster is blocking the door, maybe it's just because it annoys me!

Shen Ye sighed and said sincerely:
"I don't want to disturb you all the time, but I really want to enter your world."

The skeleton monster reached out and grabbed a handful on the wall of the corridor.

The wall was scratched through like tofu, crushed into powder, and silently scattered from the bone claws.

The monster looked at Shen Ye and said nothing.

But Shen Ye could feel its ridicule.

——Just laugh at me, I am just an ordinary human being.

He carefully observed the skeletal monster, but saw that it was still leaning against the wall, communicating with him in a half-lying position.

Looking along its skeleton, you can see that its left leg bone is full of cracks, and a section of its right leg bone is missing.

No wonder it's in this position.

Shen Ye suddenly thought of an idea.

"Dear Big Skeleton, do you want a wheelchair?" he asked.

The big skeleton looked at him, motionless.

——Maybe there is no such thing as a wheelchair in the nightmare world!

Shen Ye got up and took his cell phone over, turned it on, and searched directly.

"Look!"

He pointed the screen at the door glass and showed a video of a person in a wheelchair.

Shen Ye said enthusiastically:
"This is a wheelchair. It is a very useful means of transportation for the disabled. If you need it, I can ask someone to customize it."

The big skeleton looked at him with its dark eyes open, as if he were looking at a fool.

Shen Ye persisted and said:

"Not interested in wheelchairs? OK, we have other options."

He searched for an item again and showed the picture to the monster on the other side of the window.

"This is called a hula hoop. It exercises the strength of the waist and abdomen."

"I'll buy you one, free shipping, and you can use it to strengthen your pelvis and lumbar spine."

"This way, you will be able to get up faster and more energetically next time." "Let me show you how to use it."

"look--"

"Have you learned how to shake your butt like this?"

The big skeleton looked at the phone screen silently, then looked at Shen Ye.

It clenched its bone claws and struck the door of the ward with all its strength——

boom! ! !
The door to the ward was immediately torn apart, the link between the two worlds was immediately severed, and the skeleton and the corridor behind it disappeared in an instant.

"Just tell me if you don't like it. Why are you so violent?"

Shen Ye whispered.

He walked back and forth in the room, thinking about how to break the situation.

New review entries will be available tomorrow.

If you can get rid of this big skeleton today, tomorrow's evaluation entry will definitely be better than the gray entry "polite person".

You will also get more attribute points.

It’s about your own strength——

The high school entrance examination requires strength, and avoiding the enemy who secretly uses "The Cursed Sculpture of the King of Fallen Demons" requires strength even more.

——No matter what, I have to find a way to deal with that big skeleton.

But it seems to hate itself.

Shen Ye felt a little disappointed, but immediately cheered up.

It's ok!
Winning customers requires a bit of professionalism.

Work harder on your own!
——So, what exactly does it require?
Shen Ye thought for a while and gradually came up with some new ideas.

"Door."

He read it out.

The ward door appears again.

This time, the big skeleton was no longer sticking to the window glass.

It returned to the other side of the corridor, turned its back to Shen Ye, and continued to eat the corpse.

Are you planning to ignore me?

Shen Ye's fighting spirit was aroused.

He coughed lightly and said in a dignified and quiet tone:
"My friend, do you feel that your legs and feet are not as good as before?"

"Friend, do you ever feel powerless during a fight?"

"——I can help you!"

"No money, no gifts, just be my friend."

"Try it!"

"Give me a chance and I'll give you a second chance of youth!"

"Don't hesitate, you should remember how awesome you were when you were young! I can get you back to that state!"

As he spoke, he stole a glance at the giant skeleton.

When I was just reciting the first two sentences, the big skeleton was still eating the corpse.

But as he spoke, it gradually became still.

It seemed as if my words had aroused some emotion in it?
Why not add fuel to the fire?

Shen Ye took a deep breath and said loudly through the door:

"Don't put it off until tomorrow, make a decision, you can regain your confidence as a man today!"

The big skeleton still didn't turn around or move.

Sudden--

There was a loud bang, and a piece of parchment nailed to the door of the ward appeared, with lines of bloody small words written on it:
"You have received a nightmare contract."

"Signed by: Mother of Dark Skeletons, King of Ghouls, and the Defeated Lord of the Underworld, Mictetika Shiva..."

Shen Ye was shocked.

——The origin of this monster is so shocking?

But why is there a "..." after the name of "Lord of the Underworld Mictetika Shiva"?

Shen Ye thought about it, then reached out and clicked on that “…”

"..." instantly unfolded into a folded text:
"The battlefield storage officer of the fifth squadron of the Skeleton Army."

So the entire signature should be "The Mother of Dark Skeletons, the King of Ghouls, the Battlefield Collector of the Fifth Squadron of the Skeleton Army under the Defeated Lord of the Underworld, Mictetika Shiva."

Okay, okay, this is how you play it, right?

Shen Ye narrowed his eyes and continued to look down:
"Contract content: equal exchange."

"P.S.:"

"I remember that seven thousand years ago, humans at that time used their talents in creating culture, art, and technology to make the eternal clock of destiny emit twelve beeps. Even the gods were shocked by the situation at that time."

"Human, I hope you can help me regain my strength."

"——I never sign a contract with any being other than the gods, so you'd better understand the value of this contract."

"Sign your name on the next line to establish this contract."

"Signed by: ()"

A hazy white light emerged from Shen Ye's body, resonating with the contract.

A sense of enlightenment came to my mind.

This nightmare contract nailed to the door means that it is signed based on one's own abilities.

If he and the skeleton soldier are not satisfied with each other, he can cancel the contract at any time.

From another perspective -

The contract is correct and valid.

——But if I can’t help it, this contract is just a piece of waste paper.

Shen Ye took a pen from his pencil case and wrote his name solemnly:
"Chen Ye..."

——A line of “…” was automatically generated after his name.

I have this too?
Shen Ye couldn't help but be a little surprised.

The giant skeleton rushed over and pointed at the contract through the door with its long finger bones.

The line "..." behind Shen Ye's name suddenly expanded:

"The human who defeated the curse of the Ten Thousand Fallen Demons, the gatekeeper of nightmares and reality, the only manipulator of the space between the two worlds."

——So I have this kind of personality?

Shen Ye thought silently in his heart, and glanced at the skeleton, only to see that the skeleton was also staring at the line of words, as if somewhat intimidated.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!

A solemn bell rang from somewhere.

Above the door of the ward, runes etched with various golden lights appeared and condensed into two pointers, one pointing to the golden words that had just appeared: "Battlefield Collection Officer of the Fifth Squadron of the Skeleton Army under the Mother of Dark Skeletons, King of Ghouls, and Defeated Lord of the Underworld, Mictetika Shiva."

As for the other pointer, it pointed to a line of small words emitting white light:
"The human who defeated the curse of the King of Ten Thousand Fallen Demons, the gatekeeper between nightmares and reality, Shen Ye."

The pointer and the double name continued to emit light for a few breaths before slowly fading away.

The contract is done!
