Gatekeeper of all realms

Chapter 319 Want to decide the winner? It’s too early!
night.

One fifty-four.

Gaia City.

The roads on the outskirts of the city were covered with ice and snow.

The little girl walked very quickly, as if she had forgotten everything around her and was only focused on running in the direction of her memory.

"I remember there was a traffic light ahead, and Dad said it would be the most convenient for us to leave the city because we didn't have to turn left or right."

“Just go straight!”

In the sky.

The heavy snow fell quietly, passing through the dim street lights and turning the little girl's hair white.

Her face was red from the cold, but she was only focusing on the road.

Exhale.

Breathe in.

Exhale again.

The city was silent, and in the darkness, only the little girl's breathing could be heard.

She kept running without stopping.

"Baxter!" she cried suddenly with delight.

"What?" Shen Ye asked.

"That flower bed - did you see it? One time I couldn't walk anymore, so I took a rest there, and my mother even admired the flowers there with me."

The little girl became more and more agitated.

Countless black figures were dancing wildly behind her, sometimes transforming into skeletons, sometimes transforming into girls.

They can't wait any longer.

Shen Ye looked across the street.

The long-haired woman in a red robe looked over here quietly.

Demon of fear!

It seemed very patient and just watched silently.

When Shen Ye looked at it, it no longer made any threatening moves and did not speak.

It's just like--

The outcome is already determined.

Shen Ye's vigilance has reached its highest point.

The other party did not make any attack!
This means that the other party feels that the situation that Lancy, Chatelet and Peasso are about to face is favorable to them and has an overwhelming advantage.

The other party might even be willing to protect this matter and let the next thing happen naturally.

Damn!

Shen Ye flew out, found a car parked on the side of the road, and looked up at the window.

"The Hanged Man's Gate."

Small, gleaming words quickly appeared on the glass.

It's the enemy's daily routine.

——No changes!
Things will continue to proceed as they were originally supposed to.

Then.

The problem is not with the enemy.

Shen Ye's gaze turned and fell on the little girl.

—When she arrives home, something must happen that has a huge impact on her.

Then you can’t go home!

But this is her strongest obsession and her only wish.

If I stop her——

The synchronization rate will drop directly.

Without himself as a variable, Chatelet's life would return to its original trajectory.

Nothing will be able to be undone.

Shen Ye couldn't help but sigh, and then quickly took a breath.

I remember someone said, don't sigh easily.

Time has passed so long that it has become blurred.

fast.

Come on.

think carefully--

What else can I do?
He flew up and ran towards the end of the road with the little girl.

"Lancy, how far is it?"

he asks.

"That red house!" The little girl's voice trembled a little.

Next traffic light.

Across the street is a red skyscraper.

——Lancy’s parents are here!

"Do you remember the building and house number?" Shen Ye asked.

"1701."

"The first household on the seventeenth floor?"

"Correct!"

"I'll go check out the situation. You wait for me downstairs."

Shen Ye soared into the sky, quickly covered a long distance, passed through the wall, and entered the seventeenth floor.

in the corridor.

A woman in a red robe with features like black holes stood there motionless.

The demon of fear.

It has come, and seems very quiet, as if waiting for something.

——Its expression even looks like a pilgrim.

"useless."

It spoke.

"Will you stop me?" Shen Ye asked.

"No, I will just watch quietly. After all, this is the beginning of everything, and it is a day I will remember every day." said the Demon of Fear.

Shen Ye ignored it and just quickly looked for Room 1701.

He found it.

He passed through the wall and entered the room.

After counting the breaths.

Shen Ye passed through the wall silently and fell quickly downstairs.

Outside the building.

The little girl stopped panting, and when she saw him she jumped up and asked hurriedly:
"How about it?"

"There's no danger." Shen Ye said.

"Then let's go straight up!" said the little girl happily.

"No." Shen Ye said.

The little girl looked at him in surprise.

A line of light appeared in the void and condensed into words:
"The synchronization rate can change at any time, and the probability of winning or losing depends on it."

"Please be careful with your words and actions."

Shen Ye remained expressionless, squatted down, and whispered in the little girl's ear:
“Remember the homeless guy in that game?”

"I remember, but what does this have to do with seeing my parents?" asked the little girl.

"The enemy can monitor everything from outer space..."

After saying this, he changed his decision.

His voice became soft and low:
"Listen, I will never stop you from seeing your parents. I just want to create an undisturbed environment for you so that the enemy cannot interfere for the time being."

"This is for your safety, okay?"

"Uninterrupted... then you have to hurry up, I can't wait any longer." said the little girl.

"It only takes a few seconds." Shen Ye said.

The little girl finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, I believe you, Baxter."

Shen Ye smiled slightly and his figure overlapped with hers.

Synchronous start——

7.9 seconds!
There was an astonishing murderous intent in the little girl's eyes, and her whole body exuded a frosty aura that seemed to be tangible.

She stretched out her hand and immediately grasped the Guanghan bow.

One hand and one lead.

The Taiyin divine arrow emitting a frosty white mist quietly appeared on the bowstring.

The little girl did not rush to shoot. Instead, she took out a ring, took out a small timer from it, turned on the power, adjusted the time slightly, and quickly threw it back into the ring.

4 seconds have passed.

The little girl hung the ring on the arrow, froze it with frost, raised the bow and aimed at the sky.

"go."

A whisper.

A cold light flashed, and the floating light swept away and disappeared in an instant.

6 seconds!
Time is running out!

The little girl was not at all flustered. She drew another arrow and shot it with all her strength.

Swah——

The second arrow suddenly rose into the air and instantly turned into twelve arc-shaped ice rays, which disappeared in a flash.

time up!
Shen Ye bounced off the little girl.

"Is it okay now?" the little girl asked.

"Go ahead." Shen Ye said.

The little girl cheered and didn't even walk up the stairs. She just pushed against the wall with her feet and used her hands and feet to climb up to the 17th floor.

She climbed into the corridor and went straight to the door of Room 1701.

Shen Ye stood aside and looked up at the sky expectantly.

in the universe.

A large space station orbiting a planet.

——Just as Kunlun said, powerful space weapons have already been prepared here, ready to release a devastating blow at any time.

This is also an extremely important data storage and processing center.

There was a flash of void.

An ice arrow gently nailed into its metal shell.

This level of damage was so minimal and occurred so suddenly that the space station did not respond immediately.

In fact, there was no time to react.

Twelve ice arrows followed closely and hit the arrow in front.

——They were not biased, and they formed a circle along the space ring frozen on the arrow and hit it at the same time.

The ring shattered instantly.

Dozens of hydrogen bombs, along with timers, suddenly appeared in space.

"Drip-drip-"

"time up."

The timer showed that the time for detonation had arrived.

light.

The blinding light engulfed the entire space station.

on the ground.

Immediately, lines of dim words appeared in front of Shen Ye's eyes:

"You activated the Dark Gold (Unparalleled) level archery, the cross-world archery 'Star Edge', and fired at a target in outer space."

"You activated Star Forward again."

"Please note."

"Twenty hydrogen bombs have been detonated."

"The station is destroyed."

"The electromagnetic pulse caused by this round of explosion is erupting on a large scale, and signal transmission and communication facilities have been affected!"

Collect all the fine print.

The time is just right!
Shen Ye withdrew his gaze and calmed down.

I did the only thing I could do.

Now we have to see what the outcome will be when everything is freed from the influence of artificial intelligence.

Tuk-tuk-tuk——

The little girl knocked gently on the door.

"Who?"

There was a sound of footsteps.

The little girl opened her mouth to speak, but no words came out.

She put her hands on the door and waited.

Click.

The door lock opens.

A humanoid figure made entirely of metal appeared at the door of the room.

It looked at the little girl and said in surprise:

"Lancy!"

The little girl was stunned for a moment, until she saw the other person's face, then she shouted without hesitation:
"father!"

The robot suddenly became nervous.

——Although it has a metal body, its face retains human flesh, blood, hair, and facial features, and can show various human expressions.

The robot poked its head out and took a look outside, then whispered:
"Come in, don't stand at the door, Lancy."

The little girl stepped quickly into the room.

The door closed quickly.

The humanoid robot picked up the little girl and couldn't help but said loudly:
"Oh my goodness, my Lancy!"

"Incubator, come and have a look. This is the daughter you've been thinking about day and night!"

There was a sound of rapid footsteps in the room.

"Guardian, are you kidding me—"

A relatively small robot quickly rushed into the living room and saw the little girl at a glance.

"mom!"

The little girl cried out with joy.

This robot also retains human appearance and is a woman in her early thirties.

She rushed over, grabbed the little girl and held her in her arms.

"Dear Lancy, you're back!"

The little girl started crying, buried her head in the other's chest, and put her arms around its neck.

"I'm sorry for wronging you... kid, I know you've been wronged."

The Hatcher's voice was gentle and low.

The Guardian stood before them and opened his arms, hugging the little girl and the hatchling together.

Time seemed to have stopped at this moment.

"Mom and Dad, you've been deceived. I wasn't going to school at all. I was having a hard time."

said the little girl.

The two robots looked sad.

This moment.

Endless dark figures also appeared behind the little girl.

The demon of fear also appeared quietly.

It tilted its head and looked at the two robots and the little girl quietly.

Everything seemed to have reached that point.

"It's time."

The demon of fear chanted in a rhythmic tone as if reciting:

"Listen, Lancy, all human beings in the world are under the control of an extremely powerful artificial intelligence."

The next moment——

Under the gaze of Shen Ye and the Demon of Fear, the robot called the Guardian spoke:

"Listen, Lancy, all human beings in the world are under the control of an extremely powerful artificial intelligence."

Shen Ye looked towards the demon of fear.

The Demon of Fear smiled softly and said:

"It's the same line again. The truth of everything is just this. They will catch her, and then she will be nailed to the wall and wait for the pursuers to come."

Shen Ye's eyes turned deep.

He didn't say anything, just waited quietly.

The Demon of Fear continued:
"We also have that artificial intelligence program in us."

The guardians said the same thing almost at the same time:

"We also have that artificial intelligence program in us."

The Demon of Fear spoke again: "Next, we have to--"

The Guardian then spoke:

“Although it is unclear why the procedure has not been triggered yet, the situation is not optimistic.”

It’s different!

The Demon of Fear was a little surprised.

But it shook its head and said disdainfully:

"You did it? But what's the point? It's just a matter of time. In this world, no one can escape the control of that artificial intelligence."

"——The result is already determined!"

Shen Ye didn't answer. He just looked at the little girl.

The little girl asked:
"Is raising me... also controlled by it?"

"Yes, nothing can escape its control, and everything we have belongs to it," said the guardian.

All the black figures behind the little girl became solid.

They all stretched out their hands, like long and thin needles, and inserted them into the back of the little girl's head.

Everything is closer.

The Demon of Fear spoke again:
"The next sentence is——"

"We are going to catch you now, kid. This is what the procedure requires. We must follow the procedure!"

Before it finished its words, it took a step forward and completely merged itself into the endless black figures.

——It’s ready too!
"Do not."

Shen Ye suddenly said.

He looked around the room carefully and saw that the screen of the mobile phone on the desk was still filled with messy black and white dots.

The communications interference caused by nuclear weapons is not over!

He faced the endless dark shadow and said softly:

“Maybe that AI will eventually control everything, but at least at this moment, it can’t control what they say.”

"Naive!" All the black figures roared, "The result is already determined. What's the point of what they say?"

Shen Ye didn't respond, but just stared at the three people in the room.

This moment.

"My child."

The guardian suddenly spoke: "When you were born, this world had not yet been controlled. We gave birth to you in the hope that you could grow up healthily."

"But when you turned three, everything changed."

"After you were taken away, our only way was to save up 1 million credits. Only with this kind of contribution can we make a request to that damned artificial intelligence."

"Lancy, we are saving money."

The little girl looked up.

The incubator stroked her face and said softly:
"Son, we sold most of our organs and worked hard with our mechanical bodies just to save up enough money as quickly as possible."

Tears fell.

The little girl tried hard to wipe the tears from her face, bit her lips, and looked at her mother without blinking.

She is waiting.

Waiting for the most important words.

"We have saved enough money, and our only wish is——"

The Hatcher's voice slowed down and gradually became stuck.

The Guardian continued:
"Take you back."

After he said this, he stopped moving.

The two men hugged the little girl, their bodies came to a standstill, their expressions dull, like machines that had lost power.

"Zi-Zi-"

On the table, the phone suddenly made a sound:
"I am Kunlun!"

"A reminder, the effect of the nuclear explosion on the signal is about to end!"

"They have the artificial intelligence program. Once they find Chatelet, it means the artificial intelligence has found her."

"They will be controlled by artificial intelligence to attack her!"

"——Run away!"

The little girl seemed to be suddenly awakened and quickly turned her head to look at Shen Ye.

"Baxter, don't let my parents be controlled, please!"

Shen Ye said in embarrassment: "I just synchronized with you, now there is no way -"

Suddenly, a line of small, dim words appeared before my eyes:
"Lancy's strong desire broke through the shackles, and her soul was willing to give everything as long as you could help."

"Your synchronization rate is improving dramatically."

"Your sync time has been immediately cooled down."

"Your sync time is increasing."

Shen Ye's eyes narrowed.

Could it be——

He took a step forward and overlapped with the little girl.

next moment.

The little girl's body was immediately controlled by him.

"Okay, since you are so determined... I will give it a try."

The little girl said as she strode to the window, stretched out her hand to summon the Guanghan Bow, took out a hydrogen bomb, set the timer, and froze the Taiyin Divine Arrow with frost, and then -

"go with!"

She cried out softly.

A frosty shadow dragged a large square iron box, rushed into the sky, and quickly disappeared.

——Cross-world archery, Xingfeng!
Lines of dim words immediately appeared before the little girl's eyes:

"You activated the Dark Gold (Unrivaled) level archery, the cross-world archery 'Star Edge', and fired a shot at a target in outer space."

"Please note."

"The hydrogen bomb has been detonated in outer space."

"The electromagnetic pulse caused by this round of explosion is erupting, and signal transmission and communication facilities will be affected!"

The little girl turned around.

The guardians and incubators in the room resumed their activities again.

——The remote control signal of that program was interfered!

Shen Ye immediately separated from the little girl's body.

"Mom and Dad!"

The little girl rushed forward and buried herself in her mother's arms.

The two humans with mechanical bodies moved their expressions and "came back to life" again.

"That program seemed to have stuck for me."

The Guardian said worriedly.

The incubator ignored all this and just hugged the little girl tightly, saying softly:
"After we changed into mechanical bodies, we no longer feel tired and can work day and night. We have saved a lot of money now."

"The total amount of money earned from selling organs was 18 million."

"I've been working 24 hours a day for the past few years and I've made millions."

"Mom, don't you need to eat?" asked the little girl.

"A body of steel doesn't need to eat anything, it just needs to be recharged."

"The brain maintenance fluid will cost a little money, but not much. Your father and I will use it sparingly. Don't worry, it will be enough."

"It's so hard to save 100 million. Do you really want me to come back?" asked the little girl.

The mother kissed the little girl gently on the forehead and said nothing.

Dad smiled and said:
"Lancy, this is the only belief we have in life."

The little girl listened quietly, and suddenly a layer of light seemed to cover her face.

She was immersed in these words, her eyes flickering, and was about to continue speaking when she saw the two of them stop again.

She turned to look at Shen Ye with a pleading look on her face.

Shen Ye sighed.

The black figures filled the entire room, still surrounding the little girl.

but.

They haven't succeeded yet.

"Why……"

The voice of the demon of fear rang out from the mouth of every black figure.

"Why is it different from your memory?" Shen Ye asked.

"That's right. In our memory, the only thing is the scene where we were caught and nailed to the wall by our parents. Why did this happen?" the Demon of Fear roared.

Shen Ye walked forward and overlapped with the little girl again, completing the synchronization.

——Synchronization seems to no longer require a cooldown time.

The little girl's voice rang out:

"You wouldn't understand."

"By the way - it's too early to decide the winner!"

She drew out the Guanghan bow and once again put a Taiyin divine arrow with a nuclear bomb tied to it onto the bowstring.

Where should I shoot?

Shoot the satellite.

All satellites used for communication in outer space.

Artificial intelligence without satellites is always a problem.

Swah——

The arrow flew away.

A moment.

Signal interference occurs again.

The two people controlled by the program moved slightly and regained their freedom.

in the following time.

The little girl stayed close to her parents, listening to their efforts and pouring out all her troubles to them.

Whenever the program starts to activate, Shen Ye will shoot out a Taiyin divine arrow with a nuclear bomb attached to it.

Time passes slowly.

a moment.

A faint light quietly emerged and gathered into words:
"Congratulations."

"Your actions have had a 'shifting' effect on Jiu Xiang. Although everything is still uncertain at the moment, her fate has begun to change."

"This move also has an impact on the infinite universe."

"For your great deeds, the Dharma Realm has bestowed upon you the name you deserve."

"After this node event is over, the corresponding name and effect will be formed according to the overall evaluation."

All the small words disappeared.

Shen Ye didn't pay any attention to these.

He put his mental power into the ring, looked at it again, and then said:

"Lancy, we've run out of nuclear bombs."

The smile on the little girl's face froze.

Shen Ye took a step forward and whispered in her ear:
"If you want to protect your parents, the best way is to leave here."

"——We need to escape quickly."

"Don't make a fuss about them, don't let any of the enemies know you were here."

The little girl looked calm.

She opened her arms and gently hugged her father and mother.

——Then they stopped moving again.

In deathly silence.

"Baxter, take me away."

"it is good."

The door opens.

The little girl walked through the door and returned to the outskirts of the city.

She stood in the snow, staring blankly in the direction of home, the tears on her face no longer visible.

"The noise is too loud. The enemy must have discovered it and is on their way."

Shen Ye continued quickly:
"The best strategy right now is to leave immediately."

"At the same time, you have to make the enemy think that you have just arrived here, so that they won't question your parents."

The little girl suddenly raised her head.

Shen Ye followed her and looked up at the sky.

A man in military uniform appeared in the sky and fell down at an extremely fast speed.

thump.

He stopped in front of the two of them and glanced at the little girl.

"It's indeed a test subject... Unfortunately, communication has become a big problem now..."

"Forget it, I'll catch you first."

The soldier stretched his body briefly.

His Dharma image suddenly unfolded behind him.

It is an extremely majestic church. On the top of the church's spire, there sits a glowing angel.

Shen Ye's face changed and he shouted:

"It's a god! Oh no, his strength is at least the sixth level of the Dharma Realm - let me come quickly."

Such an expert...

We must first ensure that Lan Xi does not die!
If I could find a chance to open the door, I should be able to escape.

Shen Ye overlaps with the little girl.

but--

He subconsciously raised his hand, but found that he was still a "ghost".

No sync!

At the same time, the little girl's cold voice echoed again in the heavy snow:

"Baxter, I don't know what I would do without you."

——The personality has changed to Chatelet!

Did she want to—

"Your strength is not enough, hurry up! We need to synchronize!" Shen Ye said subconsciously.

Chatelaine said softly: "I...actually I have always looked down upon strength."

"In the endless test, the pain I endured was too great. To escape it, I flew to the blank world and created many things there."

"I guess - they are not afraid to hurt so many people, and they are striving for these things."

“But I won’t show it to them.”

"I used to despise these things from the blank world. I fantasized about punishing them with my own failure, or even using my own death to make them disappointed and regretful."

"but now……"

As Shen Ye listened, he looked around nervously.

No shadow of darkness was seen, nor was there any sign of the demon of fear.

Snow flakes blew silently away from the little girl.

A faint glow began to appear all over the little girl.

She had a determined look on her face, clenched her fists tightly, and white light suddenly rose from her body.

Yes, this is still Chatelet!

Shen Ye breathed a sigh of relief.

opposite.

The soldier sneered, put his hands in his pockets, and looked at the little girl lazily:
"The first level of the Dharma Realm? Naive, this embryonic form of the Dharma is not even good enough."

However, Chatelet looked extremely cautious.

She continued to speak to herself:

"Thank you, Baxter."

"You let me know the most important answer--"

"Mom and Dad actually love me."

She finally raised her hands, bent them slightly, and held them in front of her chest.

There was a pause.

She tilted her head and looked at Shen Ye, whispering:

"Here's a little trick, and I'm only going to tell you one person."

"What?" Shen Ye was confused.

"You need to tell that blank world that you need to mobilize its vast and endless 'ether'. This way, it will understand what you mean, and the power it bestows on you will be even stronger."

"To be specific, you have to give it a secret signal, even if it's just silently in your mind."

"Four words in total—"

"The Dharma has arrived."

The little girl said, clasping her hands together.

boom! ! !
Endless blazing light burst out from her body, spreading throughout the world, causing the entire planet to burst out with endless 'ether' power.

This power caused the earth to shake, the void to shatter, endless illusions to appear one after another, and the endless world trembled with fear.

Viewed from a distance.

In the dark night.

The little girl stood alone in the field, with a blazing white light bursting out from her body shooting up into the sky, forming an endless sea of ​​people in the sky.

Countless spirits of the Dharma Realm wearing various weapons and armor.

They surround the whole world.

The mere appearance of such a glorious and majestic Dharma image caused the Dharma image of the soldier below to begin to collapse.

"What is this! How could you possibly - who is hiding behind you!"

The soldier took a few steps back in despair, muttering.

The aura of the Dharmakā was so strong that he spit out blood before he could even launch any attack.

The deity in the Dharma image was trembling with fear, and he knelt on the ground, begging for mercy.

The little girl stood still.

She looked at everything in front of her, with an expression on her face that showed that she didn't think she was that powerful.

"I don't know what it is. If I must say, Peasso once gave it a name-"

She said casually and raised her hand.

In the sky.

Endless spirits in the Dharma Realm raised their weapons.

The little girl said:
"The Dharma has come, and one person will be reborn into a million lives."
