Gatekeeper of all realms

Chapter 317 Sleeping Beauty and the Substitute

The room fell silent.

The wind and snow were howling outside the room.

Through a layer of glass window, the Demon of Fear slowly spoke:
"You have no idea what kind of life we ​​have lived, yet you dare to say that you want Lancy, Chatelet and the others to continue to exist."

“They’ve given up on themselves a long time ago.”

"I should destroy them in this duel, so that they won't suffer so much."

Shen Ye shook his head and said, "She just ate cake and chocolate that she had never eaten before. She is sleeping soundly now. She will go to see her parents tomorrow."

"——I think her heart is full of longing, not pain."

The Demon of Fear seemed to remember something and suddenly burst into hysterical laughter.

She was facing Shen Ye and made a magic seal.

Suddenly, small words appeared in the void:
"The part of your 'Gate' ability that belongs to the entry is cursed."

Shen Ye's heart shuddered.

The Demon of Fear said that he has the ability to deal with his own ability to obtain entries.

It seems to be true!

"Why don't you just attack me?" Shen Ye asked.

"Nonsense, Chatelaine gave you the opportunity to impersonate one of our personalities. Otherwise, you would have died long ago!" said the Demon of Fear.

It stepped back and disappeared without a trace.

Only its voice still echoes in the darkness:

"We'll see—"

"Also, guess why you couldn't leave our fight and return to your world?"

"Here are my words."

"--If you survive until the next time we meet, you will kneel before me."

The sound fades away.

Only Shen Ye was left standing in front of the window.

He was stunned for a moment.

Yes.

Why couldn't you leave?

Jiuxiang is the most powerful existence in the past era, so it is not surprising what he does.

but--

Why is it all so unsettling?
Shen Ye looked back at the clock on the wall of the room.

It is now eleven twenty-eight at night.

It's almost twelve o'clock.

No.

Be prepared before twelve o'clock.

such as--

Fight back.

Shen Ye stood in front of the window, looking at the wind and snow outside.

There is no such thing as a battle that only defends without counterattacking.

——But I know too little about the demon of fear.

Regarding intelligence, there is only one "Hanged Man's Proverbs", which can only predict things about death.

It's really not enough.

……and many more.

Regarding prediction, it seems that I have another method.

That is the reversal force in the mirror from the "Lord of No Life", and it is the result of reversing everything in one's life.

Strictly speaking, existence in the mirror is just a supplementary power of the "Lord of No Life".

The most primitive power of this profession is actually——

"You are the opposite of everything."

Shen Ye stared at the window glass, looked at his own shadow on the glass, and said softly:

"There's me in the mirror."

He walked towards the window, and the person in the window also walked towards him.

Body replacement.

Shen Ye moved his hands and feet casually and felt that everything was normal.

But in fact, everything is reversed.

such as--

"Door."

Following Shen Ye's low call, a door rose up out of nothingness.

This is a white door.

——It can also predict dangerous things that are about to happen!
A wave of thoughts surged in Shen Ye's mind.

Jiu Xiang has traveled across billions of worlds, and has seen countless powerful people and countless skills.

If I deal with it with common sense.

That's bound to cause problems.

Just go a little crazy.

"Fusion - all the predictive powers in me."

He spoke.

A pure golden light flashed.

"You activated the power of the golden entry 'Vampire Baby'."

"'The Hanged Man's Motto' is about to merge with your Reversal Gate."

"The power of divination and prediction is extremely rare."

"Since the power of the Reversal Gate far exceeds that of 'The Word of the Hanged Man', it will dominate the current super evolution and reverse the prophecy."

"Wait ten seconds, super evolution is over."

Shen Ye was surprised.

Originally, both the White Gate and the motto of the Hanged Man were predictions of major death events that would happen to oneself.

After fusion, it will be reversed.

So what does it predict?
Is it a non-fatal incident?

As I was thinking about it, ten seconds had passed.

A glimmer of light quickly emerged:

"Congratulations."

"The power of the Reversal Gate is upgraded and transformed into the 'Hanged Man Gate'."

"Description: No matter which body you use, you can always view the enemy's daily information for the next day."

"Usage conditions: The ability of this door must be performed with a mirror as the medium."

Shen Ye was quite stunned as he read the lines of explanation.

Predicting things about yourself has turned into predicting things about your enemy.

Major fatalities.

Reversal has become daily information.

That’s good enough.

But...does it work?
Shen Ye stretched his neck and whispered, "Door."

On the window glass in front of him, small glowing words gradually appeared, covering the snow outside the window:

"The Human Evolution Federation has begun investigating the crash of the flying fortress."

"The investigation team will be established in thirteen minutes."

"At 3:59 in the morning, the investigation team split into three groups."

"At 4:41 a.m., the strongest group will arrive at the Frost and Snow Forest to investigate the nuclear bombing."

"At 5:07 a.m., the wreckage of the flying fortress was discovered. The tedious and time-consuming investigation is about to begin."

"The car electric shock and burning incident in Luoying Town has not attracted the attention of all parties for the time being."

"also."

"The real world has been completely integrated into the current memory world."

"The nightmare world and the ground part of the death planet become the memory world of the nine manifestations, until its personality decides the winner."

Shen Ye was shocked.

The real world has been radically changed.

Even the nightmare world is like this.

...Everything has returned to the state it was in the past era?
No wonder the Demon of Fear said that at the end.

Judging from its tone, this matter is not over yet.

What will happen?
Shen Yelai thought about it for a while but had no clue, so he simply turned his attention to the matter at hand.

"Continue to show daily."

He spoke.

All the small characters disappeared, and new glowing small characters appeared:

"At nine o'clock in the morning, investigators arrived in Falling Eagle Town and began investigating the spontaneous combustion of the car and checking the surveillance videos on the town's streets."

"At 10:03, Lancy will be officially wanted."

"At 12:510, Lan Xi was arrested in Room , Building , Area B, Gaia Technology Center."

"The manhunt is over."

"At 15:00, the Human Evolution Federation has decided that the most advanced research on human potential breakthroughs will be conducted on Lan Xi in three days."

No new small print appears behind it.

Apparently, this is pretty much the enemy's daily routine.

Shen Ye stared at the lines of small words and began to think about how to break the deadlock.

Now the key issue is -

Chatelet is still too young and has not even entered the first level of the Dharma Realm.

Although I can appear for a few seconds, it will not be enough if I encounter a large-scale pursuit.

Is there any way to help her?

As I was thinking about it, a new line of small words appeared:
"Until your Hanged Man's Gate evolves, you will not be able to obtain information about enemies in the universe."

...Are there other planets in the universe that are causing trouble?

Wouldn't it be seeking death to run head-on into Jiuxiang?

But it’s hard to say—

The universe is so vast, perhaps there are other masters above the ninth level?

Tsk.

Let’s find a way to save Chatelet first.

What to do...

Click.

There was a slight sound on the wall.

Shen Ye looked up.

clock.

It's twelve o'clock.

...Twelve o'clock!

An idea suddenly appeared in Shen Ye's mind.

Yup!

Why not——

Why not do this?
He walked to the bed, looked at the sleeping little girl, and went over the thoughts in his mind.

"Chatelet... don't blame me..."

“It’s time to grow up.”

His figure overlapped with that of the little girl.

next moment.

The little girl pressed on the mattress behind her.

A door suddenly appeared.

She opened the door and fell right into it.

Yes.

A brand new day has arrived.

You can enter another world again and obtain new entries.

However, the people who opened the door at this moment were Shen Ye and Chatlet.

She's still a little girl after all.

Then the entry obtained by opening the door this time should belong to Chatelet!

As for the threat posed by the Demon of Fear, it is actually not important.

It claims to make it impossible for one to "never again obtain a powerful 'name'."

But Chatelet is unable to achieve a particularly high evaluation now, and thus gain such a powerful "name".

——As long as she can gain some general fame, she can increase her survival rate!
The little girl pushed the door open and walked in, while making magic seals with both hands.

Dharma Image·Guanghan Palace!

What was different from before was that the blood moon in the sky felt Shen Ye's will and became gentle and weak, even covering itself with a layer of frosty white moonlight again.

All of a sudden.

A line of glowing small characters appeared in the void -

"We will meet under the moon on Yaotai Terrace!"

But the little girl disappeared and appeared directly in the Dharma image.

Synchronization completed!

"Big Skeleton, Four Kings, take good care of her."

Shen Ye said.

In the Dharma.

The little girl was lying on the ground, still sleeping.

The four kings hurried into the grove and began to cut down trees to make a large bed.

The big skeleton stood beside the little girl and thought:

"I understand, Shen Ye."

"What?" Shen Ye asked.

"You gave her the opportunity to enter the other world so that she could be recognized by the Dharma world," said the Big Skeleton.

"That's right." Shen Ye admitted.

"How did you come up with this idea?" exclaimed the Big Skeleton.

"Do I need to think about this?" Shen Ye said.

——Just a professional substitute.

In the previous life, there was a complete industrial chain.

However, whether it will succeed or not depends on the identification of the entries after we return tonight.

The big skeleton seemed a little shocked and couldn't help but change the subject:

"Be careful, the World Cemetery has been destroyed. Now your 'gate' connects to a new unknown world. I don't know if it's dangerous or not."

"The bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish." Shen Ye said.

He began to look around.

This seems to be an extremely narrow passage.

The ground is dry.

Torches were burning on the walls on both sides of the passage.

This scene was unexpectedly familiar.

Especially the design of the torch gave Shen Ye an idea.

"Hey, look, does that torch look familiar?"

Shen Ye asked the big skeleton.

"It looks like the torches in a tomb." The big skeleton commented.

Shen Ye stretched his body.

I left Jiuxiang’s world of memories.

Now my body has become solid.

but--

Is this a big tomb?

A chill lingered in the air, causing Shen Ye to feel uneasy.

Things seem a bit weird here.

He walked back, opened the door, and placed an ice mirror in the Dharma image.

Through the door, he looked at himself in the mirror.

The glimmer of light emerged and gathered into words:
"You activated the third level of Dharma Realm's 'Self-Presence in the Mirror'."

"You have currently designated a mirror. After your death, you can be resurrected from the mirror and return to reality."

okay!

First set up a resurrection point to give yourself peace of mind.

After doing all this, Shen Ye closed the door and let it and the Dharma image disappear together.

He strode forward.

"Hey, your 'gate' is connected to the Great Tomb? The Great Tomb is not another planet." said the Big Skeleton.

"My 'Gate' ability will connect to the nearest world. It also connected to the nightmare world before. Now--"

As Shen Ye was speaking, he suddenly stopped.

We had been walking for a while.

A stone door appeared in front of the passage, with a few lines of small words carved on it.

But Shen Ye had never seen these words before.

"This is the common language used by the lawful camp in the universe in ancient times. It is recorded in the Book of the Dead. However, in the nightmare world, no one has used this language for tens of thousands of years."

The big skeleton said.

"What is the lawful camp?" Shen Ye asked.

"When you kill people or destroy a clan, you must find a plausible reason," said the Big Skeleton.

"What about disorder?" Shen Ye asked again.

"I accidentally killed you when I was crossing the road just now, but luckily my clothes were not dirty, so I can go to the dance." said the big skeleton.

"Are there other camps?" Shen Ye asked.

"Besides lawful and evil, there is also the neutral camp."

"The existence of these camps is like the 1000 hydrogen bombs in your body—"

The big skeleton continued:

"He doesn't care if you kill someone, but if you kill him, he will die with you."

"I understand. Only if we can die together are we qualified to be in the neutral camp." Shen Ye snapped his fingers.

"Perfect understanding."

As the big skeleton spoke, he took out a nightmare crystal, infused it with universal language, and then handed it to Shen Ye.

Shen Ye crushed it.

There was a mist.

Soon, he understood the words on the stone door:
"Evening Star."

“The only safe place to gather.”

"You can enter only if you have reached at least the third level of the Dharma Realm." "The only currency in circulation in this camp is gold. No other currencies are accepted (there are exchange points for various currencies in this camp)."

I am at the fourth level of the Dharma Realm.

Shen Ye let out a breath and felt somewhat fortunate.

“Look, you can enter the third level of the Dharma Realm,” he said.

"Nonsense. Strictly speaking, the sixth level of the Dharma Realm is considered a master. You have the fourth level, which can already strengthen your magic and spiritual combat skills. You are not weak." said the Big Skeleton.

"I always feel that I am weak." Shen Ye expressed his thoughts truthfully.

"Because you have been in contact with top strong men - Xu Xingke, Mogao, Jiuxiang. Any one of them can shake a star field with a stomp of his foot in the universe." said the big skeleton.

"It should shake the entire universe." Shen Ye corrected.

"Yes." said the big skeleton.

Speaking of which——

The Demon of Fear used the Art of Fate to force himself to be unable to come into contact with the top powerful beings.

Actually, I have always wanted to find an opportunity to thank it for this.

It's very stressful to stay with those masters for a long time.

I actually long to communicate more with people of my age.

Shen Ye pushed open the stone door while thinking.

A square of about two hundred square meters comes into view.

not far away.

Several bloody bodies lay on the ground.

"Sorry, we haven't had time to clean up here yet."

A maid hurried over and used some magic to collect the body.

Then came another cleaning technique.

The ground became clean.

"welcome!"

The maid saluted.

Shen Ye looked around.

In the center of the square is a small supply center.

There are shops selling various supplies, restaurants, currency exchange booths and a fountain.

and emergency assistance stations.

This is all normal.

Strangely, almost everyone was sitting on the edge of the square, looking out.

It was dark outside.

"Is this your first time arriving at Evening Star?" the maid asked.

"Yes, it's my first time here." Shen Ye said.

"To introduce the situation of Dusk Star, you need to pay 30 kilograms of gold." said the maid.

Shen Ye was a little surprised and couldn't help asking:
“Are the prices here so high?”

"Introduction is a very expensive service, only lower than the price of first aid and refuge." The maid glanced at him and whispered.

Shen Ye nodded slightly.

——This is already a piece of information with good intentions.

Introduction, first aid, evacuation.

On the Evening Star, these three are the most expensive.

Facing the other party's expectant eyes, Shen Ye touched the ring and handed it over with a heavy piece of gold.

The maid put the gold into the storage bracelet and said happily:
"You won't regret it."

"I'm all ears." Shen Ye said.

The maid waved her hand and set up a soundproof barrier around the two of them, then spoke:

"Evening Star orbits a huge planet called 'The End' and is its satellite."

"Over the endless years, the eras have changed several times, but the only thing that remains unchanged is this 'End'. It exists eternally and is not afraid of any disaster."

"'The End' is an extremely dangerous planet."

"It is divided into three areas: the Calm Area, the Crazy Area, and the Abyss Area."

"The Evening Star orbits the 'End' periodically. When it reaches the calm zone, professionals can go fishing or explore.

Shen Ye pointed at the people sitting at the edge of the square and interrupted, "Are they fishing?"

"Yes."

The maid continued to explain: "When the Evening Star reaches the top of the Madness Zone, generally speaking, you can only go fishing, because only a few people can come back alive from the Madness Zone every hundred years."

"Finally, there is the Abyss."

"When the Evening Star reaches the Abyss, everyone must return to their own world. If you insist on taking refuge on the Evening Star, you must pay a large sum of money."

"Why?" Shen Ye asked.

"In the long known history, no one has ever been able to leave the Abyss alive," said the maid.

"Not even fishing?"

“Forget fishing. Even if you stand on the Evening Star, you will definitely be pulled down and never come back.”

"——This introduction is really worthwhile. I now want to buy the equipment they use for fishing." Shen Ye said.

"I suggest you don't fish for too long this time," said the maid.

Shen Ye said in surprise: "Could it be——"

"You react quickly. We are indeed about to reach the sky above the Abyss. This information can only be obtained once for free by those who purchase the 'Introduction'." The maid smiled.

Shen Ye looked at the professional fishermen.

They haven't made any movement yet.

No one knows?

"'The End' is changing, so it's impossible to figure out its pattern. Only the most powerful prophecy abilities can give us a glimpse of it." said the maid.

"Then they are doomed to die?" Shen Ye asked.

"No, they will watch the actions of us servants. If we start to take refuge, they will start to flee immediately." said the maid.

"How long will it take?" Shen Ye asked.

"There are only 29 minutes left. Do you want to purchase asylum services or return to your own world?"

"How long will it take to seek refuge?" Shen Ye asked.

"The time is different each time. This time it will take about thirteen hours," said the maid.

Thirteen hours.

It's too long.

By the time we return to Jiuxiang's memory world, the other party will have already prepared to catch him in the trap.

Then make good use of the last twenty minutes and give it a try.

——This way the entry evaluation will be higher.

Shen Ye spent money to buy a fishing rod, walked along the square, and sat down at the edge where there were few people.

He looked at the fishing rod in his hand.

"Space folding detector."

"Space equipment (green level)."

"Description: Tie your partner to the detector and release the rope. Then you can let it travel a long distance and directly reach the surface of the planet to search for valuable items for you."

It's called a fishing rod, but actually...

It really is!
Shen Ye looked around.

There are many fishing friends.

Everyone brought a small stool, or just got a big sofa, or just sat on the edge of the square with their legs hanging in the air.

Everyone had a fishing rod in their hands.

not far away.

A red-haired girl is reeling in the phone.

A monkey hanging on the end of a fishing rod flew quickly through the dark void and returned to Evening Star Square, empty-handed.

"I saw a very powerful monster, so I quickly signaled you halfway."

The monkey said.

——This is a magical spirit.

"Well, it's okay, let's come again next time. Let's go eat something first." said the red-haired girl.

The girl left with the magic spirit.

Shen Ye stood there thinking for a while.

The big skeleton suddenly spoke:

"No problem, let me go, I can identify a lot of treasures."

"The monkey just now was at the fifth level of the Dharma Realm, stronger than you, but he retreated halfway." Shen Ye said.

There was a noise coming from the Dharma image.

Shen Ye paid attention and took a look, and saw the giant skeleton and the four kings standing in a row, looking very imposing.

The big skeleton said, "The four kings said that they have developed a fusion technique that is guaranteed to increase my strength by two levels. In that case, going to the planet to get the treasure will be a piece of cake, right?"

Is this true?

Shen Ye looked at the four kings.

The four kings nodded together and began to release spells at the same time.

One king shouted, "I will form the head!"

He flew into the air, and his body changed and turned into a head.

The second king shouted, "I will form the chest!"

The three kings shouted, "I will form the arms!"

The four kings also shouted: "I will form the legs!"

When they combined together, they really formed a giant.

They all said to the big skeleton in unison:
"It's up to you!"

The big skeleton shouted: "Okay! I will form the--"

and many more.

It took a few steps back and looked at the giant carefully.

its not right.

You guys have finished your group.

——What other parts shall I form?
Shen Ye couldn't help but interrupt: "Stupid, you can form a weapon! Do you understand?"

The big skeleton let out a long sigh of relief and was about to jump up and turn into a weapon.

"Wait a minute!" Shen Ye said again.

"What?" asked the big skeleton.

"Your magic is still immature and you haven't thought through the combination of parts. I have a new idea." Shen Ye said.

"What's the idea?"

"It's simple. You hold the fishing rod and I'll go down."

"what!"

A few minutes later.

The big skeleton squatted at the edge of the square and carefully let down the rope on the fishing rod.

Shen Ye was hanging on the rope.

The rope passed through the folded space and quickly fell towards the planet.

Shen Ye waited for a while.

When the fishing line was completely out of Muxing's sight, he casually condensed a square ice mirror, pierced it with a hook, and tied it to the end of the fishing line.

"There's me in the mirror."

The magic is activated.

His entire body was immediately hidden in the mirror.

Now there was nothing alive on the line, only a square block of ice.

No monster would be interested in a square block of ice.

A moment.

The rope landed on a planet called "The End".

The surface of the planet is barren.

All kinds of strange-looking skeletons were scattered on the gray ground.

Look around.

No significant buildings were visible.

This is the crazy zone.

The square ice cube fell down carefully, but finally hit the ground with a bang.

There was no movement around.

There are no monsters either.

Shen Ye's head appeared in the square ice cube.

He looked around curiously.

"Hey!"

"anyone there?"

The ground shook.

soon.

A huge eye emerged from the mud, turned back and forth, and then stared at the square ice.

Shen Ye looked at the other person.

I saw a bright red word “???????” appear above the other person’s head.

Mythological entry!
And it’s totally unrecognizable!

"Nice to meet you, but I have something else to do. Let's talk next time."

Shen Ye said with a smile.

There was a hint of sarcasm in those eyes.

A dull voice quickly sounded from the soil:
"You don't think you can get away with this."

"Escape? That's impossible. What I do is called going offline. Look at my profile picture. Once it changes, it means I'm offline."

Before he finished speaking, Shen Ye's head suddenly disappeared from the square ice block.

The eye was fixed on the ice.

Wow!

The ice cracked.

But it was empty inside.

"Offline..."

A doubtful voice came from the soil.

at the same time.

The big skeleton squatting on the edge of the square threw the fishing rod down and turned around and ran away.

It crossed the entire square, came to the stone gate and pushed it hard.

Outside the stone gate.

corridor.

Shen Ye is already standing here.

"It's too dangerous, we have to leave quickly." Shen Ye said.

"it is good."

The two walked along the tunnel to the end.

"——A lot of monsters?"

“Only one.”

"Strong?"

"Super strong. I don't have the confidence to play against it at all."

"Oh my god, this is the crazy area, and there is also the abyss area."

"Correct."

Push door.

Return to the hotel in the small town.

Shen Ye gently placed the little girl on the bed and then looked into the void.

As expected, lines of dim words appeared:

"You and Chatelet obtained the entry."

"Due to the enemy's curse, one of you will be affected. Please decide who will be affected."

"The current curse will take effect three times in total."

Shen Ye breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter how powerful the Demon of Fear is, facing the future power of "Door", he can only curse three times.

It’s no problem for me to push it three times!

"Let the curse affect my entry, not Chatelet."

He said.

All the glimmers are collected.

New small print quickly appeared:
"This time, Chatelet received the following evaluation entry:"

"sleeping Beauty."

"Green entry (excellent)."

"Description: Sleeping will allow your attributes to grow naturally. The value increased every hour is proportional to your own talent."

“Comment: The innocent and lovely beautiful little girl needs to sleep more so that she can grow.”

"——Go to bed early and be healthy."

Shen Ye nodded slightly.

Okay.

At least it increases the attributes.

Not to mention Chatelet's talent, this entry will allow her to improve rapidly.

What about yourself?

Another glimmer of light appeared:

"This time you open the door, you get the curse entry:"

"A despicable substitute."

"Passive black entry (negative)."

"Description: As long as this entry exists, you will be despised, cursed, and bullied by people around you."

“Comment: When everyone was bravely exploring the star of ‘The End’ and searching for treasures, you simply went offline.”

"——You are such a bitch."

Shen Ye was speechless for a while.

well.

So this is what curse means, right?

Demon of Fear, you are the real despicable one.

"Swallow."

Shen Ye said.

"Swallowing will cause all attributes to lose 3 points."

"Stop talking and swallow it!"
