Gatekeeper of all realms

Chapter 476 "Material"

The girl opened her eyes.

"woke up?"

"Ah."

"Is your injury better?"

"It's not getting worse, it just takes time to heal."

"Oh, do you eat?"

There was a fire in the cave.

There was an iron pot on the fire, and instant noodles were cooking in the pot.

Shen Ye didn't know whether she wanted to eat or not, so he asked.

The girl stood up from the stone platform, looked at the pot for a while, and then looked at Shen Ye.

"How long have I been asleep?"

"Only two hours."

"...I slept too deeply, nothing happened." The girl stood up, walked barefoot to Shen Ye and sat down.

"It's nothing, everything is normal." Shen Ye said.

He picked up the noodles with chopsticks and filled two bowls, handing one to the girl and keeping one for himself.

"Although I don't know what happened to you, I suggest you go back to the city."

Shen Ye said.

"Why?" The girl looked at him.

"There are some good healers in the city who should be able to help you recover quickly." Shen Ye said.

The girl retracted her gaze, looked at the bowl of soup in front of her, and whispered:
"They can't cure me. I need another way to recover."

"Can I help?" Shen Ye asked.

"No - but thank you anyway. Have you memorized everything I asked you to memorize?" the girl asked.

"Yeah." Shen Ye answered while lowering his head to eat noodles.

The girl looked at him silently.

He seemed to be very hungry. He ate voraciously and even drank up all the soup in the bowl.

"What are you looking at me for?"

Shen Ye put down the bowl and asked curiously.

The girl then lowered her eyes and looked at her hands.

hand.

Just a slight movement would be enough to take the young man's life.

Now my injuries are under control.

It’s no problem if the dragons come again.

——There is no need for a mortal to know the ultimate secret.

kill him.

Take a breath.

Two breaths.

The girl raised her hand, picked up the soup bowl, picked up a few noodles with chopsticks, and ate them slowly.

She ate faster and faster, and in a short while, she had finished the noodles.

She also drank up all the soup.

However, the energy intake is too little.

It's almost unnoticeable.

"I didn't expect... that you would stand up."

The girl put down the bowl and sighed.

To be honest, when I first started screening humans, I didn't have much hope.

It is human nature to never gain one's own trust.

The stronger the human being, the less trustworthy he is.

it's good now--

The human being in front of him did not betray him even when he was at his most vulnerable.

This is a very precious point.

As for strength, I can think of some other ways to improve it quickly.

From the perspective of time and efficiency, there is no need to go through the hassle of screening.

That's him.

"I'm going to find a way to heal my wounds. You should go back to the city first."

The girl said.

"Is it really necessary to call a therapist for you?" Shen Ye asked.

"No, I have a special secret technique." The girl shook her head.

Shen Ye immediately understood what was going on and stopped asking.

The girl looked at him again, and her figure suddenly rushed out of the cave. In an instant, she turned into a small black dot and disappeared on the horizon of the wilderness.

she left.

Su Rong's voice immediately sounded:
"She is seriously injured. She must kill a lot in the wilderness to absorb enough energy to heal her body."

"That means she won't be back for the time being." Shen Ye said.

"Yes." Su Rong said.

"Then I have to hurry up."

Shen Ye left the cave and flew towards the city.

——In fact, this cave is located in the mountains dozens of miles south of the city. It is neither too far nor too safe.

He flew straight back to his home.

Both parents are still at work.

With their strength and status, they would never be exposed to things like ring matches, so they would not worry about Shen Ye.

Shen Ye returned to his room, locked the door, drew the curtains, then raised his hand and shouted in a low voice -

"Door."

The gate to heaven appeared quietly.

"Where is she?" Shen Ye asked.

"In the wilderness—she is going deeper and deeper. She seems furious about the assassination and wants to take revenge."

Su Rong's voice sounded again.

Shen Ye nodded, feeling relieved for the moment, pushed open the door, and in a flash, he appeared in the nightmare world.

This is the border between humans and the undead.

In the past, this was the garrison of the human army.

Now the Legion has been withdrawn.

Only one or two patrols remained.

Shen Ye stood on the top of a big tree, looked around, and said:

"Su Rong, please pay attention to the situation of the Parasitic Queen."

"From now on, you don't have to follow me."

"What about you?" Su Rong asked.

"I'm going to verify a secret, and this secret is not suitable for anyone to know for the time being." Shen Ye said.

"Then wear this." Su Rong said.

There was a flash in the void, and an amber pendant appeared in front of Shen Ye.

"??? Pendant."

"From a girl you know who has a unique take on precognition and the future."

The luminous small characters are collected.

"What is this?" Shen Ye asked curiously.

"Chatelet's Multiple Personalities, which Peasso left for you, saying that if you decide to explore any secrets alone, you should wear it."

Su Rong heaved a sigh of relief: "She said this matter is very important, and asked me to give it to you when you return. There must be no mistakes."

"Now I can finally hand in my work."

"So that's how it is." Shen Ye said.

He took the pendant and hung it around his neck.

—What is Chatelet busy with?
Why don't you come to see me?

Shen Ye was about to ask, but Su Rong's breath had disappeared.

——She went to the other side of the world and observed the movements of the Parasite Queen.

Shen Ye shook his head, flew away, and landed lightly on a position.

This is the first time I came here.

——There used to be a secret passage in that bunker.

Originally, the big skeleton hid here.

Shen Ye found the location of the bunker with ease and walked to the end.

The secret passage has been sealed.

It's ok.

With just a few casual cuts, the road was cleared.

Shen Ye entered again and said:

"Big Skeleton, do you remember this place?"

no respond.

In the Dharma image, all the soul fire on the tombstone has been taken in.

It seems that it is in a deep sleep of death, accumulating strength with all its strength, preparing for rebirth.

Whatever.

At this moment, I am the only one here.

It's a good time.

"Door."

He shouted lowly.

A door to heaven appeared silently.

A glimmer of light appeared:

"You have placed a barrier between reality and nightmare."

"Now enter the Gate to Heaven and you can overcome this obstacle."

Shen Ye took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and tried to calm himself down.

After entering the door, will you arrive at the death planet or the real "reality"?
Now is the time to verify the answer.

Shen Ye pushed the door open and stepped inside.

……

Jingle Bell!
The alarm clock rang.

Snapped.

Shen Ye subconsciously reached out and pressed the alarm clock.

Silence returned to the room.

He jumped out of bed and looked around carefully.

The room is only about 20 square meters.

There is a computer on the table.

The briefcase was on the chair.

The washed clothes were hung in the corner, not yet dry.

Fortunately, the clothes I wore yesterday were still clean and I didn’t sweat much, so I can continue wearing them to work today.

It's the end of the month and it's time to pay salaries.

People say that good companies pay salaries at the beginning of the month, average companies pay in the middle of the month, and only the worst companies pay at the end of the month.

I work in sales in a crappy company.

Forget it.

Just to make a living.

Shen Ye yawned, scratched his head, got up and went to wash up.

Didn't sleep well.

Feeling dizzy and groggy.

like……

Had a dream.

Shen Ye turned on the faucet and wiped his cheeks with cold water in his hands.

It seemed like a very long dream.

But when I woke up, it immediately became blurry and distant.

There seemed to be a lot of people in the dream and a lot of things happened.

It's about the universe.

But when I think about it carefully, I don’t remember it.

Forget it.

Finish it quickly and go to work.

I still have to hurry up and buy breakfast.

Being hungry in the morning is not good for your health.

Shen Ye was thinking about all sorts of things.

Ding, ding, ding——

A slight impact sound rang in my ears.

He turned off the faucet and looked down, only to find a pendant hanging around his neck.

Pendant.

When did you buy it?
Can not remember.

He wiped the water off his face, looked at his newly grown stubble in the mirror, and then held the pendant in his hand to examine it carefully.

——This is amber.

It is very beautiful and seems to have something sealed inside.

like……

There were two blurry figures.

Yes--

"It's Lancy."

"It's Peasso."

"It's Annie."

yes----

The unspoken name.

Shen Ye felt as if his brain exploded all of a sudden, and dense memories flashed through his mind.

The fires of purgatory cannot disperse the clouds in the sky.

The girl said—

She said a lot, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't remember what she said.

Yes I do.

What did she say?
Think fast——

In the mirror, the entire room disappeared.

Shen Ye and everything around him disappeared completely.

There is only darkness.

Deep in the endless darkness, the girl said:
"You always do what I say, don't you?"

Shen Ye opened his eyes suddenly.

All of a sudden.

The tiny words once again struggled out of the darkness:

"The Hun Tian Shu stored in the pendant has been consumed."

"I have now overcome the hypnotic effect on your body and forcibly activated your mind, allowing you to see everything."

Shen Ye saw himself.

It was a glass bottle more than four meters high, containing a human specimen.

The transparent liquid filled the surroundings.

He has tubes all over his body and is sleeping quietly here.

Scenes slowly flashed in my memory.

That day——

On the way to get off work.

A sudden car accident. I was sent to a private hospital for emergency treatment.

“Have you found the patient’s information?”

"No relatives?"

"No one to contact?"

"…Send to operating room number seven."

"Notify the planning team that new materials have arrived."

In the operating room.

The electrocardiogram still shows regular curves.

A row of people in black took over the operation.

"Issue a death certificate. This person will be considered dead and we will take him away."

I have no idea what happened next.

I only remember an old face carefully checking my body and said excitedly:
"The consciousness intensity of these materials is very high."

“Worth another try!”

Only then did Shen Ye realize that there were several other similar "materials" next to him.

The scene flashed by.

until now.

All other "materials" have failed.

Only myself is left.

night.

Those people have left, leaving only a few people on duty.

It's a good opportunity.

If I could get away from——

As Shen Ye was thinking, he suddenly saw all the scenes disappear.

Followed by.

I returned to the rental house.

Standing in front of the mirror, looking at my appearance.

Small words appeared on the mirror:

"The stored Hun Tian Shu has been used up. This time, I am using the power of the Shu spirit Peasso himself."

"You are back in the hypnotic fantasy again."

Shen Ye looked at himself in the mirror.

The truth is known.

Do you want to go back to the nightmare world?
no--

The body is still in that incubator.

Everything I have experienced is because of this experiment.

This experiment happened to encounter that opportunity, allowing one's consciousness to be projected onto the body of a young boy in the multi-layered universe.

If one's body is disposed of, will this projection of consciousness dissipate as well?
——Save your body!

After Shen Ye finished washing up, he walked to the door, took his briefcase and put on his shoes.

He put his hand on the door handle.

Time is tight in the morning. Now there is not even enough time to eat. I have to rush to catch the subway to go to work!
...Go to your sister's class!
A line of small, dim words suddenly popped up:

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

Bang.

real world.

In front of the huge culture tank, an animal suddenly jumped out from the void.

——It looks like a kangaroo.

But it is actually a genuine monster!
The earth monster let out a short, sharp cry and slammed its head hard on the ground.

All of a sudden.

Frost quickly spread from the floor, covering the entire laboratory, and quickly spread outward.

The void moved again.

Four kings jumped out, each holding a weapon, and smashed the culture tank open.

The culture medium immediately flowed all over the floor.

The four kings rushed into the culture tank, pulled out all the tubes inserted into Shen Ye, and then lifted him up.

The earth monster broke open the door.

The four kings carried the sleeping Shen Ye and followed behind it, rushing out together.

At this moment.

Shen Ye, who was in a hypnotic dream, did not go to work.

He just sat in the rental house, quietly waiting to escape.

A line of small words appeared quietly:
"You are exiting the hypnotic illusion."

Shen Ye looked thoughtful.

Hypnosis for everyone?

In other words, besides yourself, there are other people who are also under hypnosis?

Ding Dong!

Doorbell rang.

Shen Ye asked, "Who?"

"The landlord!"

"Please come in."

An old man wearing a vest and shorts and mopping boards walked into the room, flicked the cigarette in his mouth into the trash can, and then spoke:

"Young man, you owe two months' rent, did you know that?"

Shen Ye said helplessly: "Uncle, you are so rich, give me a few days' grace, I will give it to you after I get my salary."

"When do you get your salary?" asked the old man.

"The money will be distributed on the 27th of this month, which is tomorrow. Please give me some time. I will transfer the money to you as soon as it arrives tomorrow." Shen Ye said.

"That's more like it...By the way, aren't you going to work today?" the old man asked again.

"Why aren't you at work?" Shen Ye said with a wry smile, "I'm just about to leave."

"It's too late to eat now." The old man shook his head.

Shen Ye got up and walked to the refrigerator.

If I recall carefully, I had just bought a lot of food the day before the accident.

There was durian, chocolate, beef jerky, pistachios and some fresh bread that had a shelf life of three days.

He opened the refrigerator.

Sure enough, there were these things in the refrigerator.

It exists in reality and also in dreams?

……No.

This is not a simple hypnosis.

Perhaps if we understand it from the perspective of the nightmare world, we would think of it as hypnosis.

That’s why this prompt is given.

But in reality, I have never heard of this kind of "whole" hypnosis!

The appearance of this old man was also very strange.

Something happened outside.

He immediately appeared in his dream.

"A bag of bread and chocolate is enough, and get some milk."

Shen Ye became more and more alert, but his expression remained calm. He just packed the food quickly, picked up his bag, put on his shoes, and went out.

"Landlord, you're not leaving?"

He looked back in surprise.

The old man stood up and said with a smile:
"Young people are really energetic. OK, I'll come back to collect the rent tomorrow."

He left the room with Shen Ye.

The two waited for the elevator together.

Outside the dream.

The earth monster rushed left and right, casting spells on anyone it saw.

Frost and flames continued to spread in the corridor, blasting away all the guards who came.

The four kings carried Shen Ye and continued to follow behind.

The noise is getting louder and louder.

There was a sound of heavy footsteps in the distance.

Ding--

In the dream, the elevator door opened.

Shen Ye entered the elevator, stretched out his hand to block the door, and waited for the old man to come in.

The elevator shook slightly.

The lights went dark.

Two lines of dim words suddenly popped out:
"The power of hypnosis has completely faded from you."

“But it activated again.”

The lights came on again.

The elevator started moving and began to move downward.

"Why did the lights go out just now?"

Shen Ye asked in surprise.

"This elevator has been in disrepair for a long time. It is unstable sometimes. This is normal." The old man said calmly, holding a cigarette in his mouth.

"Can't you spend some money to replace the elevator for this floor?" Shen Ye asked.

"It's so expensive." The old man waved his hands.

Shen Ye rolled his eyes and was too lazy to say anything to him.

——It’s still not right.

I had clearly been removed from the culture tank, and all the tubes in my body had been removed.

Why does consciousness remain in this hypnotic dream?

This dream -

"Hey."

The old man spoke.

"What?" Shen Ye continued.

"Do you think there are aliens in the world?" asked the old man.

"It's hard to say. I heard that countries all over the world have contacts, but they won't be made public - who knows if it's true or not." Shen Ye said.

"It's really boring to always hide it from ordinary people like us." The old man sighed.

Shen Ye shrugged, looked at him strangely, and then looked away.

Ding.

The elevator has arrived.

"Bye, I'll give you the rent tomorrow!"

After Shen Ye finished speaking, he hurried out of the elevator and walked quickly out of the building.

The old man didn't respond, but just stood there, silently watching Shen Ye's receding back.

Shen Ye followed the crowd into the subway station.

It was rush hour and the subway station was packed with people.

Shen Ye stood in the crowd, chewing bread in big mouthfuls, drinking the milk in one gulp, and then wiping his mouth.

Not right.

Why am I still in the hypnotic dream and unable to exit it?

How can this technique be activated without an energy source?

"The Four Kings checked my entire body."

He gave the order silently.

The four kings ran while searching all over his body.

Suddenly, a king held Shen Ye's head and said through telepathic communication:
"There's something above your head."

"What is it?" Shen Ye asked.

"A square piece of metal with energy running inside it."

Shen Ye seemed to have been enlightened and instantly understood the so-called "hypnosis".

——This is a virtual scene for human consciousness!
A chip was implanted in my head!

The chip probably has enough energy to keep the virtual scene going.

Now there's another thing to worry about -

Will the chip self-destruct?
If it explodes, won't I be killed too?

After all, your body is still that of an ordinary person!
Everything that happened in the nightmare world was what happened when your soul traveled back in time!
My soul has a powerful body in the nightmare world——

That is Shen Ye’s original body!
On this side of the barrier—

The body in the real world is one's original body, and it is still at the level of an ordinary person.

My soul is here, and my body is here too.

If the chip explodes—

Boom!

The brain exploded into an empty shell and died!
Shen Ye suddenly felt a little scared.

The old man who appeared just now must have come to test me.

I don't know anything.

He let himself go.

——Perhaps they thought that something special had happened during the experiment, which had attracted some unusual monsters.

But this has nothing to do with the "material" Shen Ye!
"Material" Shen Ye was still in a dream and knew nothing!
It is precisely because the "material" did not get out of control that it proves that the experiment may have been successful.

So I was not dealt with immediately!
Tsk.

The most urgent task

Find a way to deal with that chip.

…My fragile body can’t do anything.

but.

I have other ways.

"We will meet under the moon at the Jade Tower" has come into effect.

So--

Other terms can also be used!

Following Shen Ye's thoughts, a new prompt appeared:
"You used 'Blind Pride' and 'Clothes Change BGM'."

"Please note."

"Under the influence of such a powerful word, your brain is as solid as a rock, and your five servants have no chance of digging the chip out of your brain."

One of the four kings pulled out a dagger, used it as a screwdriver, and hit Shen Ye's head a few times.

Useless!
Not even a white mark!
This path does not work.

——Hurry up and think of a new method.

"Summon Norton."

Shen Ye muttered silently.

A line of small, dim words suddenly popped out:

"Nothing in the nightmare can cross the 'barrier' and respond to your call."

Shen Ye was slightly startled.

If Norton can't come, his human army can't come.

in other words--

Only what is hidden in one's own Dharma image follows one's soul and returns to "reality".

What else is there in the Dharma?
Shen Ye quickly checked the Dharma image.

——It was at this time that the Dharmakāya broke away from the category of “the sacred mountain of yin and yang that saves people from suffering and disasters and protects lives” and was evolving towards a higher level.

There is nothing else except the Earth Beast and the King of the Four Kings.

Do not--

There is also a tombstone.

The tomb of the big skeleton!
Shen Ye's gaze gently fell on the tombstone.

I don’t know when.

The dragon meat that was placed on the tombstone is gone.
