Gatekeeper of all realms

Chapter 43: The People and Gods Behind the Scenes (Bonus for the Magical Little Arrow!)

The roar of the locomotive quickly faded away.

The neighborhood fell silent again.

I don’t know how long it will take before someone comes to deal with the tens of thousands of corpses here.

Those who passed away will eventually become nothing more than a long list of victims on TV. No one will remember them except family members and friends.

It was completely dark.

The sun will rise tomorrow as usual.

However, in this silent night, someone has not left yet.

Thousands of meters away from the hotel, there is another skyscraper.

A little girl of five or six years old was sitting on the railing on the roof of the building.

The little girl has a pair of big red headphones hanging around her neck. The two earcups of the headphones have patterns like eyeballs.

From the beginning of the battle, she rested her chin on her hands and watched what was happening in the hotel.

It wasn't until Xiao Mengyu was about to lose that she reached out her hand and pressed it through the void.

boom--

The hotel building was directly penetrated by her press.

Xiao Mengyu fell downstairs.

Shen Ye caught her.

The subsequent battle continued.

It's all over.

Shen Ye left on a ghost motorcycle.

The little girl chewed gum and blew out a big bubble.

Snapped.

The bubble bursts.

A voice quietly emerged in the void beside her:

"Don't you want to meet me?"

"This is not the time." The little girl said.

"I just saved your life once and sent you off on a motorcycle." The voice teased.

The little girl burst out laughing, sighed, and said with emotion:

"Brother Shen Ye has grown up too."

"...Compared to when he was a child, he has become even more stupid now."

Although she said this, her sparkling eyes, slightly raised corners of her mouth, and little feet dangling back and forth had already betrayed her mood.

The two eyeballs on the red earphones flew up, floated in the air, and made a sound again:
"This is all caused by your sister, but she didn't care about anything. Instead, you rushed to help, which almost caused me to be exposed."

"Stop complaining. It's a good thing that she didn't kill everyone. Besides, didn't I almost get exposed?" said the little girl.

"Once your identity is exposed in broad daylight, I see how you will end up." Two eyes said angrily.

"Stop talking, I'll take you to eat beef noodles later." The little girl reassured.

"Wow, I want an egg and a bowl of good wine--" His eyes glowed red, "Wait, do you want to ask me for something? Tell me now!"

The little girl stood up.

Her body shape gradually changed and she "grew up" rapidly, turning into a teenage girl.

Night breeze.

It messed up her hair.

If there was a moon and a river at this time, she would be no different from Song Qingyun in the video as she leaned on the railing and looked out.

Drip!

The phone rang.

The message showed that it was sent by "Song Qingyun".

The girl clicked lightly, and the graceful female voice suddenly sounded from the mobile phone:
"Yin Chen, where have you been? There's a cocktail party tonight and I can't handle it alone. Come back quickly."

The girl's eyes turned cold.

She looked at the ghostly hotel building again.

"Help me erase all traces. Don't let anyone know that I have appeared, and don't let my sister and her gang find me."

"Okay, what about the situation here?" Yanzhu asked.

"Erase all traces of Brother Shen Ye's battle and don't let anyone notice."

Eyeball asked again: "But there is another person who knows the truth, the girl with the sword——"

The girl interrupted and said, "She won't take the initiative to mention Brother Shen Ye's affairs to others, believe me."

"Okay, I'll get to work right away - shall we go to a cocktail party or eat noodles later?" Yanzhu asked.

"Eat noodles." The girl waved her hand and made a downward slashing motion, indicating that she had made a decision.

Eyeball cheered and asked worriedly:

"You really don't want to go to the reception?"

The girl pouted and said, "My sister is like a fish in water in that kind of situation, but I am not as good as her - after all, everyone knows that I am a useless person who knows nothing."

His two eyes rolled back and forth, and he let out a sharp laugh:
"Are you a loser? Hahaha! It's so funny!"

The girl sighed:
"I'm lucky to be alive... maybe I'll die tomorrow, right?"

This time, the two eyeballs stopped laughing.

……

Two hours later.

the other side of the city.

A certain express hotel.

The man had washed away the blood on his body and put on clean clothes.

He sat at the table, poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it in one gulp.

The drink was so strong that he coughed violently.

With the help of such alcohol, he felt that his condition had recovered a little.

Looking down.

The flesh and blood on the body is no longer flesh and blood, but something etched with dense runes. It feels similar to rubber, but softer than rubber.

The body is constantly squirming.

It's hungry.

The man's eyes were filled with blood and his brows were furrowed, as if he was undergoing some kind of unspeakable torture.

——This is a flesh and blood puppet body from another world.

If you don't feed it in time, it will torture your soul and make you suffer unimaginable pain.

But it's all worth it.

After all, he was resurrected through the body of this flesh and blood puppet.

This is a miracle.

Only gods can do this!

The man took a deep breath and began to recite a series of obscure and inhuman spells.

It wasn't until he was surrounded by patches of scarlet light that he knelt down and recited in an extremely pious tone:
"You are such a great being that cannot be described in words." "According to the agreement between you and me, I have paid the corresponding price. But you could have come just now, so why did you leave in the end?"

After he finished speaking, he lay prone on the ground and did not dare to move.

Take a breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

A strange, fragmented shadow quietly emerged in the void in front of him.

"idiot."

The shadow looked down at him, swung the black whip without mercy, and gave the man a hard slap.

The man was shaking all over, as if he was enduring pain beyond human limits, but he was lying on the ground, not daring to move.

The shadow continued to whip until the flesh puppet on the man's back was completely smashed. The puppet let out a series of whines, revealing the remaining flesh and bones inside, and the whip slowly stopped.

A moment.

Shadow said:

"There's a guy hiding in the dark who doesn't know the details."

The man looked up in surprise.

——I didn’t feel it at all!
"Your power is as weak as a firefly, and it is not enough for me to launch an attack. Once I come, you will definitely be killed by that hidden guy."

"do you understand?"

"Understood." The man said in a respectful tone.

Tuk-tuk-tuk!
There was a knock on the door.

"Come in." The man's steady voice sounded.

The door opens.

The bright and lovely girl walked into the room and closed the door gently.

The man was stunned and couldn't help but say:
"She...I have already..."

"Your work this time is really good. I just sewed her head back together." said the black shadow.

It gently retreated, landed on Zhao Yibing, and disappeared.

Zhao Yibing blinked her eyes, her dull expression gradually became lively, and she opened her mouth and uttered a clear female voice:

"At first, I thought your world was weak and boring, not worth mentioning at all."

"Who knew that the cursed sculpture of the King of Ten Thousand Fallen Demons that I gave you would backfire and all its power would be taken away."

"Then you were defeated as well."

"I just realized that—"

"Your world is full of interest. There are even other beings that have come here, working in the dark."

"My servant."

"Take me with you and walk in your world."

"Let me see what secrets your world holds."

"By the way, I'm going to ask him—"

"How did he break the cursed sculpture of the King of Ten Thousand Fallen Evil Ghosts?"

"That's the strength I've been collecting for countless years."

“I want it all back!”

A look of ecstasy appeared on the man's face.

He knelt down to Zhao Yibing's feet, kissed her toes, and chanted:

"Great and eternal God, I prostrate myself at your feet, listen to your teachings with great piety, and serve you forever."

Zhao Yibing looked thoughtful when he suddenly heard a series of teeth clicking sounds beside his ears, which brought him back to his senses.

——That was the voice of the flesh puppet.

It is whining, begging, and suppressing its instincts.

Zhao Yibing understood and finally spoke:

"I have traveled a very long distance to come here and resurrect you... I need some souls to replenish my energy."

"And you have just been resurrected. If the flesh puppet is too hungry, your soul will be worn away by it."

She continued in a commanding tone:

"Let's go hunting."

"Kill a thousand men, bring their souls back to me, and their flesh and blood will be yours."

"Yes, sir!" the man responded, lowered his head, hunched his back, and silently got up from the ground. Then he walked backwards to the door, opened it, and walked out.

A thousand people.

Great.

Only gods care about themselves so much.

Only the flesh and blood puppet it bestowed could eat so much.

Under the guidance of the gods, my life has become magnificent and even more romantic than I had dreamed of.

The man just thought everything was so beautiful.

Voices could be heard from the surrounding rooms.

This made the man's appetite even more intense.

But no.

The spirits were talking about hunting.

How can I pick them at random and make everything look unstylish?
...the best soul and the best quality meat.

As soon as this thought came into his mind, the man felt that even the flesh and blood puppet had submitted to him.

——It can read your thoughts.

Now, it no longer tortures itself, but instead begins to cooperate with itself with all its strength.

This is good.

The man wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with a white handkerchief, adjusted his appearance in front of the mirror at the end of the corridor, and then walked into the elevator gracefully.

There was already a girl in the elevator.

"Hello." The man greeted with a smile.

The girl glanced at him and her eyes suddenly lit up.

——This man is so handsome and mature.

"Hello." The girl smiled.

"Going to a concert?" The man looked at the ticket in her hand.

"Yes, I met up with a few friends. Do you like this band too?" the girl asked.

The man nodded and said, "Their performance was great. I love the feeling of being there."

"Do you like that kind of atmosphere? It seems we are of the same kind." The girl covered her mouth and smiled.

“Yes, there are a lot of people and it’s very lively. It makes me feel excited and free,” said the man.

"Haha, I feel the same way. Maybe this is the charm of the concert."

"Yes."
