Gatekeeper of all realms

Chapter 477 The Turn of Fate

"Next stop, Renmin Road."

"Please use the door on the right."

"Drip-drip-"

The subway doors opened.

Shen Ye followed the crowd out of the platform and walked towards the stairs.

Time is a bit tight.

He quickened his pace and moved quickly through the passage.

Exit the subway, cross the road, and you will arrive at the office building.

The company is on the twenty-first floor.

Today is Monday, and there is a morning meeting.

Can't be late.

Being late for a morning meeting will result in a deduction of... 100 yuan?
Yes, 100 yuan.

Terrible.

There is a 24-hour convenience store downstairs where you can microwave a pre-prepared meal for just over a dozen yuan.

If you eat frugally, 100 yuan can last you two full days, and even some extra.

If used to buy noodles, 100 yuan can buy five boxes of egg noodles.

I can cook noodles at home and eat them for a month!

Shen Ye started to jog.

I must not lose these 100 yuan!
He arrived at the company on time.

Punch in on time.

Be at your workstation on time.

Soon.

The morning meeting has begun.

The young leader stood in front and began to speak loudly.

Shen Ye listened absentmindedly.

——This is how I live every day.

Compared with the first half of my life, this is already a very good life.

I started to remember things when I was very young, and even now I can clearly remember that distant afternoon when I was abandoned at the door of the orphanage.

About... two years old?
Less than two years old.

He was almost dying, but after being admitted to the orphanage and having a fever for two days, he actually came back to life.

It's in the past.

And to be honest, I don’t think it’s a big deal.

Your family can choose to give up on you.

You can also choose not to care.

After that, life in the welfare home was good.

Although I often don’t have enough to eat.

But alive after all.

Later, I took the exam, graduated, found a job, had enough food and clothes, and had a place of my own at night, where I could shelter from the wind and rain and sleep.

I am very satisfied with this.

As for the future, I would like to achieve something in my career, or start a small business, such as opening a supermarket at the entrance of a community, a children's clothing store, or a small restaurant.

That would be better.

If I can make money, I will give back to the welfare home.

Then this life would be perfect.

Shen Ye was thinking about the past carelessly, and suddenly looked out the window subconsciously.

downstairs.

A long convoy stopped at the entrance of the building.

The police blocked both ends of the road with roadblocks, preventing any vehicles from passing.

There was a helicopter hovering in the air.

……what's the situation?
Shen Ye couldn't help but turn his attention to reality.

in reality.

The Earth Demon Beast led the way in front, and the four kings ran behind, holding their bodies.

They suddenly entered a huge room.

The room is like a small world, filled with various green plants, stones, streams and wild animals.

Ripples were heard in all directions.

This ripple does not seem to be aggressive, but rather some kind of telepathic power.

It was like a huge voice echoing throughout the huge room:
"We, beings from another dimension, have no ill intentions."

The Earth Demon Beast turned around and glanced at the Four Kings.

The four kings looked at each other.

Shen Ye said: "Be a little more arrogant."

The four kings roared in unison:

"Ants, what qualifications do you have to talk to us?"

The ripples gathered again, forming a telepathic connection in the void:
"We can benefit from each other - we will help you do anything you want."

"Go ask it for my body." Shen Ye said.

Among the four kings, the one wearing armor and holding a large shield stood up and spoke in human language:

"This body has the power to connect our world with yours."

It pointed at Shen Ye's body and continued:
"——We want it!"

The other party was silent for a few breaths, and then asked again:
"What can you pay for this, on the basis of mutual benefit?"

What to pay for...

Shen Ye pondered, put a revolver into the Dharma image, and then passed it to the four kings through the Dharma image.

"We'll use this in exchange."

He regretted it as soon as he finished speaking.

"Do not--"

“We’re not giving anything.”

The king holding the shield is showing the revolver in his hand.

This is a weapon obtained from the ancient ruins and has special powers.

"The Proclaimer."

"Description: Knocks back the enemy, making it unable to attack for one second."

"Six rounds of special ammunition are available every day."

"——The glory of the meritorious."

Just as it was about to put the pistol on the stone in front of it, it received Shen Ye's order.

The pistol was put away again.

The King of Kings paused and said:

"No! You won't get anything, but this man is ours!"

There was silence on the other side.

If you say something and then immediately go back on your word, it actually increases the risk of war.

The Earth Monster became nervous.

It released the vibrations of the Dharma Realm all over its body, preparing to summon the Dharma Image and cast large-scale elemental spells.

The four kings guarded Shen Ye's body.

The air was filled with tension.

I don’t know what the other party will do, but Shen Ye even hopes that the other party will call me.

after all.

It's time to see what the real world's combat power is like.

——If you don’t even know the enemy’s strength, you need to collect intelligence first.

Otherwise you'll be completely in the dark and won't be able to fight at all.

At this time, the ripples converged into sound again:

"We can give you his body, but we have to erase his consciousness to protect our world."

"——After all, the details of our world are recorded in the consciousness of individuals."

"I hope you can understand this."

Erase consciousness?

not good.

Shen Ye once again activated the "Blind Pride" skill, covering his entire body with the triple defensive power of truth.

——It’s just a chip, it can’t explode like a nuclear bomb.

In the void, several lines of dim words appeared:

"The other party has already noticed the degree of your physical enhancement."

“The way consciousness is erased is starting to change.”

"The chip will not explode at this moment, but your consciousness will be in danger."

Shen Ye withdrew his attention from reality.

He sat at his workstation and looked out the window again.

on the street.

A large number of special operations soldiers wearing bulletproof vests and armed with live ammunition entered the building.

This……

Could it be that he wants to kill his own consciousness?

If consciousness dissipates, the person becomes a vegetable.

As a gift for the first contact, it is also reassuring to give it to those visitors from other worlds.

Shen Ye held his chin with one hand, turned the ballpoint pen in his other hand, and began to think about how to deal with this matter.

A moment.

The four kings spoke again:

"That's a good idea. We can accept it."

"But there is one more——"

Before he finished speaking, the four kings and the earth monsters suddenly disappeared from where they were.

They are gone!
Shen Ye's body fell to the ground with a "bang".

The ripples in the void once again converged into sound:

"Outsiders!"

"——Are you still there?"

no respond.

Only Shen Ye's body was lying quietly on the ground.

Ding!
The elevator opens.

A large number of special operations soldiers rushed into the corridor, quickly came to the company's door, and surrounded it tightly.

Just as they were about to take action, the intercom suddenly rang:

"Supreme order, this operation is transformed into a hostage rescue exercise."

"Repeat, this is a drill!"

"Execute the exercise order according to the fifth action plan."

"Don't harm any citizens. Be patient and explain the situation. Let's begin!"

The leading special forces captain just pushed open the glass door of the company.

Hearing the changed instructions, the gun in his hand paused.

The girl working at the company's front desk had already stood up, looking at the large number of special forces soldiers in front of her at a loss.

"Where's your leader? Call him over. We're about to conduct an exercise. Please cooperate with us."

The special operations captain shouted.

The morning meeting was temporarily suspended.

The staff all looked towards the door.

Several company leaders hurried forward to communicate with the army.

Shen Ye picked up the cup and took a sip of water.

Almost.

I was almost exposed.

But we can't relax now.

The other party obviously wanted to figure out what happened first before deciding whether to kill him.

While this is happening——

Shen Ye's heart moved, and lines of faint words suddenly appeared in the void:

"You have activated the primitive term 'The Man Behind the Scenes'." "Now start to continuously generate prefixes for the item 'Human Individual Brain-Computer Chip'."

Then, one prefix after another appeared in front of Shen Ye:
"Super, advanced, outstanding, defective, damaged, special..."

Shen Ye sat at his workstation and waited quietly.

The leaders are still communicating at the front desk.

After all, it happened too suddenly and there was no prior notice, so no one knew whether it was true or not.

You must first determine whether it is true or false, and then see whether it complies with the procedures.

for a while.

It was finally confirmed that there was such an exercise and the company had to cooperate.

"Everyone, stay at your workstations and don't move. This is a normal anti-terrorism drill. Everyone cooperate and it will be over soon."

The leader said loudly while standing on the stage.

The employees had no choice but to return to their workstations and wait quietly for the so-called drill.

The soldiers entered the company.

They pretended to look back and forth for a few times, then pointed at Shen Ye and said:
"Please cooperate and act as a hostage."

"Okay." Shen Ye stood up.

Lines of dim words appeared before his eyes:

"There are currently two prefixes that can be matched:"

"1. It doesn't exist."

"Description: The chip never existed."

"2. Supreme."

"Description: You will become the supreme being in the virtual dream world."

Supreme?

The corners of Shen Ye's mouth curled up slightly, and a playful look flashed in his eyes.

No matter how "supreme" your identity is, it is nothing more than a dream in the virtual world.

Who knows who is the master behind the virtual world!

Furthermore--

Although you can call the shots in the virtual world, your body in reality is still weak and can be controlled by others at any time, and you may even be at risk of being killed.

Even a fool knows how to choose!
"Choose 1." Shen Ye said silently in his heart.

——“Non-existent” chip!
In the process of generating prefixes for the entry "behind the scenes person", it is not aimless, but gradually "adapts to the characteristics of the target".

The prefix "non-existent" means that in Shen Ye's head, "the chip has never existed."

Since it has never existed, it has never had any effect on the brain.

This is actually the reverse of the law of causality!

Moment.

Shen Ye disappeared from everyone's sight.

The entire company erupted in screams and shouts of extreme terror.

A new order suddenly sounded from the special operations captain's intercom:
"Erase the current building and restore all data."

The entire building suddenly disappeared.

next second.

The building reappeared.

"Everyone, stay at your workstations and don't move. This is a normal anti-terrorism drill. Everyone cooperate and it will be over soon."

The leader said loudly while standing on the stage.

The employees sat at their workstations, quietly waiting for the so-called drill.

There was no one at Shen Ye's workstation.

However, everyone seemed to turn a blind eye to this, as if he had never existed.

the other side.

real world.

Shen Ye slowly opened his eyes.

"Well……"

He uttered an extremely weak groan.

"The current personal attributes are as follows:"

"Strength: 0.5;"

"Agility: 0.2;"

"Spirit: 450;"

"Comprehension: 450;"

"Resonance: 0.1;"

"Available free attribute points: 450."

One's own attributes seem strange, this is because the soul returns from the other side of the door, bringing with it the original attributes of "spirit" and "understanding".

As for strength, agility and resonance, they are still the attributes of one's original body.

Because they were soaked in culture medium for too long, these properties were even reduced a lot.

——This is my real body!

Shen Ye allocated 450 free attribute points to "strength" and "agility".

The body gradually gained strength and even gained a few strands of muscle.

After all, this is the ability that comes with the "door", and it can be regarded as a special "mutation".

"Congratulations, Shen Ye."

The ripples echoed in the void and turned into sound:
"In our experiments, you seem to have gained powerful abilities, and your strength is constantly increasing."

“We hope to work with you to continue developing this scientific research project and help you become stronger.”

"Forget it." Shen Ye found a piece of clothing and put it on.

The voice continued:

"Shen Ye, you only need to continue to cooperate with us, and you can gain unprecedented power, money, and even everything in the world!"

"You'll be one of the heroes!"

Shen Ye sat on a rock and started putting on his pants.

This is a pair of standard leather pants for the frontline assassins of the Human Empire. Norton gave him a lot of things at the beginning, and clothes were indispensable among them.

"Slightly increases movement speed."

"——Specialized for the Shadow Brotherhood."

Shen Ye put on his pants and then said:

"Can you tell me how much 'material' is involved in this scientific research?"

The voice suddenly became excited:
"Hundreds of thousands! Did you know? This project has consumed hundreds of thousands of 'materials', and there have been some discoveries and achievements among them."

"—but it's nowhere near your level!"

"Shen Ye, you are the brilliant achievement of this project!"

Shen Ye listened quietly, then shook his head and said to himself:
"Killing so many people..."

"I should have died in your hands."

Yes.

If it weren't for the ultimate creation "Multi-layer Universe" that opened the barrier, it would have been impossible for him to reach the other side of the barrier and wake up in that young man.

in other words--

Whether it is himself or the "material" that this project is going to find next, the end result is death.

Revenge for a fatal crime.

"Your achievements are of great importance, Shen Ye, please don't make mistakes."

The voice said.

Shen Ye began to move his body.

Although the freedom points have been infused, the body has not moved for a long time and needs to be activated bit by bit.

Compared to his other body, this body is older, probably in his early 20s, and more handsome.

Of course, it doesn't matter.

However, the "real name" seemed to play a role in the resurrection at that time.

——The names of both bodies are the same.

"Please rest assured that I am a very rational person and will never be easily swayed by emotions."

Shen Ye said.

The voice breathed a sigh of relief and continued:

"That's good. Your treatment will be implemented soon. Whether it's money, power, or women, it will definitely meet your requirements."

"I only have one request." Shen Ye said.

"What?" the voice asked.

Shen Ye looked reminiscent: "I remember that I was hit by a car and was immediately sent to a private hospital. The whole process was smooth and skillful. I want to ask-"

"Hitting me was planned long ago."

"why?"

The other party was silent for a while before responding:
"You will know the details of this plan sooner or later, and there is no point in hiding it from you."

"Yes, you are the chosen one."

"The chosen one?" Shen Ye asked.

"Yes, you are in good health and have no relatives. Once you disappear from society, it won't cause any waves, which will help avoid some unnecessary troubles." said the voice.

"I see."

Shen Ye waved his hand.

A fiery red sword like a giant blade appeared in his hand.

"We have finished talking. I have no more demands on you. I just want to kill you all."

The words fell.

The blazing flames shot up into the sky and cut through the entire room.

Rumbling--

The flames penetrated the steel and concrete, burning everything that stood in their way.

After lifting the roof, Shen Ye discovered that this laboratory was located in an extremely remote desert.

The broken wall also allowed the scene next to the room to come into view.

Densely packed body bags in a low-temperature environment filled the racks.

Shen Ye took a look and then looked away.

If I had not entered the experiment at the moment the barrier was opened, I would have died a minute earlier or a minute later.

The bodies were piled up here.

Along with other innocent people, he fell into eternal sleep.

Drop drop-

The alarm sounds.

The void rippled again, gathering into a sound:
"What a pity, Shen Ye."

"You have already touched the threshold of entering the upper class, but your vulgarity and ignorance have determined the true destination of your fate."

"We will learn from this lesson and avoid it in future experiments."

"farewell."

Before he finished speaking, Shen Ye had already sensed something.

I heard a sharp whistling sound coming from the distant sky.

——It was a missile.

What is the power of the missile?

unknown.

It's too late to run.

As for opening the door and leaving——

Shen Ye looked around and quickly dismissed the idea.

The man just now said that he had reached the threshold of the upper class, which means that there are actually other powerful beings.

In that case——

It's best not to let anyone see your cards.

Especially the "door" ability.

The missile quickly approached the base.

next moment.

The dazzling light spread between heaven and earth.

“It’s a nuclear bomb.”

Shen Ye sighed.

In this rapidly rising temperature and destruction, a line of small, dim words quickly flashed before his eyes:
"It is now the fifth era of the multi-layered universe, and professionals can use the skills of magic spirits."

"You used the skill of the magic spirit Feilun:"

"Transform into a dragon."
