Gatekeeper of all realms

Chapter 613 The Path of an Orphan Girl

Chapter 613 The Path of an Orphan Girl
There were screams outside.

Although I couldn't hear it clearly.

But Jiu could still confirm that it was the sound of many people screaming together.

She listened for a while and then ignored it.

The most important thing right now is to practice the method to become a saint.

Unexpectedly, just after she started practicing for a short while, there was a knock on the door outside the confinement room.

"Please come in."

Jiu spoke.

The door of the confinement room slowly opened.

A humanoid being with a pitch-black body and a single horn on its head walked in.

"Mother."

The humanoid said respectfully.

Mother?

Jiu was somewhat caught off guard.

But she was someone who had seen a lot of ups and downs, so she quickly came up with a guess.

"Are you the curse?"

Jiu asked.

The unicorn-shaped black figure spoke:

"You separated me from the endless combination of magic. Thanks to this move, I was able to develop an independent consciousness—"

“I truly exist.”

Jiu fell silent.

She saw the two guards outside the door of the detention room with dazed expressions, as if they were unaware of anything.

The hour, minute and second hands of the clock hanging on the wall stopped at the same time.

A speck of dust froze in the dim light.

The warning runes on the wall showed no reaction.

The laws are silent.

Like a flock of docile sheep——

At this moment when everything was frozen, they dared not do anything.

A chill ran up my spine.

Damn it.

Why is there an inexplicable chill in my heart that lingers for a long time?

Jiu calmed down.

It is obvious that this existence is the curse that he drew from the "King".

——Can a curse generate consciousness and become a "human"-like existence?

So weird.

"Mother, please feed me."

Curse spoke.

Nurturing...

Jiu subconsciously glanced at his chest.

No.

That shouldn't be what you mean.

"Mother, I am dying, please...save me..."

The humanoid curse continued.

Let it die.

or.

——Help it survive?

For an instant.

Countless thoughts flashed through Jiu's mind.

She wanted to ask a few creatures, but found that they were all "blocked".

Yes.

this moment.

Even the creatures of truth cannot participate!

Jiu suddenly realized something.

——This curse is something that even the “King” cannot deal with.

It came from that monster.

And that monster is an existence that has awakened from the depths of the world of truth.

In the final analysis——

This curse is the magic of the other shore.

It's going to die.

"I am very weak," Jiu said, "Is there any way I can save you?"

Curse walked over step by step, knelt in front of her, and sobbed:
"I want something to eat, otherwise my strength will run out and disappear immediately."

Yes.

It's a technique.

It's a curse.

Its original destiny was to exhaust its power, attack its enemies, and then disappear completely.

Jiu tried to smile and soften his voice:
"What do you want to eat?"

"Spell, I want to eat spell, mother." Curse said immediately.

Magical life, if you want to survive, you must eat other magic.

Conservation of energy.

——Very reasonable.

but--

"This building is filled with various spell runes. As long as you attack, they will be activated. Why don't you eat them?"

Jiu asked.

"Not enough, they are too weak. The Ether I consume when eating them is more than what they can bring. I will starve to death, Mother." said the Curse.

Then there is no other way.

"What can I give you?" Jiu asked.

"The words or spells related to the words have barely enough power to allow me to survive here, mother." Cursed.

Jiu thought about it and finally made a decision.

Save it.

Yes, it is extremely dangerous for myself, but it is also a force that can break the deadlock.

He was unable to cope with the siege of the saints.

But with this magic from the other side, there is hope.

There are many more benefits.

——You must take a risk!

Jiu's mind moved, and he immediately released a spell.

"The string of fate."

"Divine skills, control skills, a double-edged whip of divination and evolution."

This spell can cause negative entries to appear on the target, and can be considered an entry-related skill.

"Mom, can you give me some food?"

Curse said in a longing tone.

"Eat." Jiu said softly.

The curse of the figure suddenly turned into a black shadow and flew into her hand, like a long snake entwined around a stone pillar, swallowing the magic in her hand in one bite.

Small words suddenly appeared in the dim light:

"Your magical skill 'String of Fate' has been eaten."

"You have lost this technique forever."

"Your curse is feeding."

All of a sudden.

The clock on the wall started to move.

The door to the detention room was closed.

Everything is back to normal.

Only the voice of curse rang in Jiu's heart:
"Thanks, mother, I finally survived..."

The sound gradually faded away.

Jiu watched the black shadow completely disappear in the palm of his hand for a long time, and then he realized that he was sweating coldly.

The curse sounded childish, yet full of sincerity.

——It has just been born!
Which direction will this matter develop in the future?
do not know.

But I have made my choice.

Jiu was thinking, when he suddenly saw lines of dim words quietly appearing:

"The curse is willing to share all its information with you."

"The battle record left on the curse has been read, a total of one:"

"The current 'Curse' has devoured all the rune spells in the Wanjie Survival Association building, all the attack spells released against it, and all the defense spells released on the spot."

"Hunger forced it to seek out the existence that gave birth to it—you."

Jiu calmed down.

——Aren’t you full yet?

Damn it.

She shook her head, deciding not to waste time thinking about things she couldn't control.

Soon, Jiu calmed down and began to silently read the method of becoming a saint left by the "King" again.

Time passes by little by little.

Every hour, Jiu has new insights.

She gradually entered a state of complete selflessness, and began to improve her control over the laws step by step according to the method of becoming a saint.

Around three or four o'clock in the afternoon.

The law enforcement team is here.

"Congratulations."

"Someone paid your fine, you can get out now."

The law enforcement captain said.

Jiu did not show any joy, but frowned slightly and asked:

"who is it?"

"Your colleague Xiaohua, who is the princess of the Mosheng tribe, paid the fine for you personally." said the law enforcement team leader.

"I refuse her payment. Please continue to put me in solitary confinement." Jiu said.

The law enforcement captain was a little surprised and said with his hands spread out:

"There is no such thing. Your confinement has ended. It was ordered by the Saint himself."

"—get out of here now."

Jiu had no choice but to stand up and walk out of the confinement room.

outside.

There were already four staff members waiting.

"Please follow us."

"Is something wrong?"

"There are some things to deal with regarding the inheritance of Saint Jie."

"……it is good."

Jiu followed a few people and came to the 78th floor of the building.

This seems to be a place similar to a court.

As soon as she came in, she saw three saints sitting on a high platform, and the surrounding spectator seats were also crowded with professionals.

——There are too many people.

Jiu took a quick glance and paid no more attention to it. He just stood in a position according to the staff's instructions.

"The person has been brought here." The staff reported to the pilgrim.

"Okay, let's start now."

The saint's voice rang out from the high platform:
"Jiu of the Split Bee Clan."

"You have received all the inheritance of Saint 'Jie'. Now, according to the procedures of the Ministry of Justice of All Worlds, all of this inheritance will be delivered to you."

"——Do you have any opinion?"

In full view.

Jiu said calmly:

"I want to apply for a temporary freeze on all my inheritance, and when I turn 300, I will unfreeze it and have it delivered to me."

The lifespan of the Splitting Bee Clan is nine hundred years.

If you become strong, you will live longer.

Three hundred years old is just the beginning of adulthood for the Splitter Bee Clan.

This request was reasonable and impeccable, and it also ensured Jiu's own safety.

"It costs a lot of money to apply for an inheritance freeze."

The way of the saint on the high platform.

"Just keep it and deduct it from the inheritance until the moment I get the inheritance back."

Jiu finished speaking, without waiting for anyone to react, and continued:
"And I will make a new will now."

"——If I die, all my inheritance will be destroyed immediately, and nothing will be left."

Silence fell.

Everyone digested her words silently.

On the high platform.

The three saints looked at each other.

"Your comments have been received."

"Normally, the Ministry of Justice will handle this as you wish, but this time it's different."

"What's the difference?" Jiu asked.

"Now the world is at a critical juncture of life and death, and your strength must be improved quickly."

"So the three of us decide—"

"The saint's legacy will be sent directly into your hands."

The corners of Jiu's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a hint of sarcasm.

Saint's Legacy.

This is such an enviable thing.

As a result, they didn't respect my wishes at all and handed over the inheritance to me.

You're afraid you're too safe, right?

"Why, do you have any objection?"

On the high platform, the saint asked in a majestic manner.

How could Jiu fall for this trick? "No objection, thank you all saints - I will practice hard and strive to become a saint as soon as possible."

She said in a steady tone.

"Well, that's right."

A small bag flew down and landed in Jiu's hands.

The tiny words popped out:
"This spatial creation must be opened by the will of 'Jiu', otherwise it will be directly destroyed."

Jiu silently put away the bag, turned around and left.

The lockdown is over.

The inheritance also fell into the hands of this "orphan" herself.

The only benefit of staying here is the "clean identity".

Fortunately, my immediate boss Qinglang gave me half a day off.

I can go back to the dormitory now and make the best use of my time to practice the method of becoming a saint.

——Become a saint first!

Jiu suddenly stopped.

End of corridor.

The department leader Xingcan and several of his men were standing there waiting.

"Boss."

Jiu greeted.

"Well, I heard that Qinglang approved you to rest in the afternoon?" Xingcan asked.

"Yes, because I went to the rooftop with him to collect the D-level etheric creature, and he said that according to the rules, I can rest in the afternoon." Jiu said.

"It's urgent. How about this? You can fix it tomorrow and work overtime now." Xingcan said.

"I just got here and I don't understand a lot of things." Jiu said.

"It's okay. Several colleagues will take you to the C-level warehouse to check the sealing status of various items." Xingcan said.

Xingcan said and left.

"Come with us, this is temporary overtime, everyone needs to participate."

A colleague said.

……

A few minutes later.

In a Class C warehouse.

All kinds of strange things are sealed with crystals and arranged in neat rows.

The entire warehouse is about the size of a dozen football fields.

Each person was assigned to an area, responsible for a part of the item inspection work.

"Where's Xiaohua?" Jiu looked around.

"She's in the D-class warehouse - just go over there and I'll give you an area to the north."

Without waiting for Jiu to speak, several other colleagues had already started the intense and busy verification work.

Everyone held a palm-sized machine in their hands.

Aim the machine at the seal and it will automatically read the information of the seal and check the seal condition.

——If there is a problem, the staff must record it and report it.

Jiu took the machine he had just been assigned and walked towards the area he was responsible for.

work overtime.

How long have I not heard this word?

Will he suddenly come into contact with an unsealed dangerous object and be killed directly?
The next day's headlines:
"The Slit Bee Woman received the Saint's legacy and died suddenly while working overtime at night!"

Jiu shook his head in self-mockery and started working.

She pointed the machine at a sealed crystal and waited for the machine to make a "beep" sound, which meant that the seal was intact.

Then you can check the next seal.

——This job is boring.

Jiu even began to do two things at once, scanning the sealed object while silently reciting the method of becoming a saint.

As time goes by.

She gradually sank into the endless seals.

"drop!"

Another soft sound.

Jiu moved mechanically, walked to the next sealed object, and raised the machine again.

"Wait a moment."

Su Su's voice suddenly rang out.

"Huh? What's the matter?" Jiu asked.

"Your efficiency is very slow. Why don't you let me live in this warehouse and help you understand the situation of all the sealed objects at once?" Su Su said.

"But there might be surveillance here..."

Jiu didn't finish his words and slowly stopped.

He looked toward the wall.

All the runes etched on the wall turned gray.

——The rune is ineffective.

Because the curse consumed all the rune spells in the entire building!

"If they want to kill you, they'd do it when there's no surveillance - maybe someone is planning this." Chatelet said.

Jiu nodded slightly.

As long as there is no surveillance, there is nothing to be afraid of.

If there is a saint coveting it, I will feel it instead——

The Creators of Truth will also notice it.

That being the case.

“…Okay then, leave it to Su Su.” Jiu said.

A woman quietly emerged from the shadows behind Jiu, pressed her hand on the ground, and disappeared directly into it.

Take a breath.

Two breaths.

Su Su reappeared and returned to the shadow behind Jiu.

"Done. I even checked a few other warehouses."

Su Su said.

"Any questions?"

"There are several very aggressive creatures whose seals have long been lost. You may even be attacked as soon as you approach them."

"That's it?"

"Also - in fact, this warehouse is connected to the Class B warehouse next to it. I saw a passage. If you are not careful, you will pass through it and reach the Class B warehouse."

Su Su emphasized:
"There are people guarding the other side of that passage, but they are hiding."

Jiu understood.

Tsk.

Jay is dead.

He was left with no one to rely on, and yet he inherited all of Jay's inheritance.

——They are trying to wipe out my entire family by treating me, an orphan, like this.

Jiu turned around and walked out of the warehouse.

She walked for a long time before she reached the warehouse door.

"Why did you come out?"

The colleague in charge of guarding the warehouse said in surprise.

"It's almost over. Can we take a break? Have a meal or something?" Jiu said.

"Time is tight and the task is heavy - check it quickly, and a work meal will be delivered to you in the evening." said a colleague.

Jiu sighed, walked back, and returned to the cluster of strange-shaped sealed objects.

"You've finished the inspection, why don't you go back?"

Su Su said in a low voice.

Jiu smiled and said, "If I go out now, they will think of new ways to deal with me. It's no problem here."

She sat on the ground, closed her eyes, and began to comprehend the way to sainthood again.

As long as you don't touch the dangerous sealed objects, you will be fine.

As long as you don't go through the passage that leads to misunderstandings,

It will be fine.

You don't have to worry about them, just seize the time to practice!

Time passes quietly.

The aura on Jiu's body gradually condensed.

She began to sense the various laws in the endless void.

A sigh of great regret sounded:
"somebody is coming."

——It was Chatelet’s voice.

Not only did she feel regretful, other creatures also sighed helplessly.

no way!
There are always people interrupting.

Jiu opened his eyes and saw the department head Xingcan appear in front of him.

"Boss, is something wrong?"

Jiu laughed.

"How is your work going?" Xingcan asked.

“Almost done.”

"Okay, now go to the D-level warehouse. The work there is more arduous. You support them."

"Yes."

Jiu followed Xingcan to the D-level warehouse.

Xingcan assigned her an area and left.

Su Su's voice sounded quietly in her heart:
"I just checked a few warehouses. The area he assigned to you has a seal that is about to break. The things inside seem to be quite dangerous."

Jiu's eyes darkened.

"Is it scheduled?" she asked.

"When you start working, according to your efficiency, when you are almost there, the seal will be broken." Su Su said.

"Let's go, go directly." Jiu said.

She followed the direction Su Su pointed and came directly to the sealed object.

——This is a piece of squirming meat.

The seal around it was indeed very fragile.

Jiu raised the machine and swept it towards the seal.

"Didi dididi——"

The alarm sounds.

Several figures appeared in an instant.

"Look, there's something wrong with this." Jiu said.

Several professionals looked at her.

Jiu smiled, scratched his head and said: "I have some premonitions about danger, so I can sense the problems here."

——Before the explosion, I had already discovered the problem.

The seal has not been broken at this time.

I have also reported this to my superiors.

This eliminates the danger.

Several professionals took out materials and began to repair the seal.

Jiu stood aside and watched.

Is the problem solved?
Su Su suddenly called out in her heart:
"Be careful, several seals in the area you are in charge of are disappearing rapidly - someone is controlling it remotely!"

Jiu was silent for a moment.

If the seal disappears, the supervisory staff will be held accountable.

Now, you are responsible for yourself here.

Tsk.

This means you will definitely be blamed for mistakes at work.

In that case——

"Where is the Rahu finger I saw earlier?"

"Not far."

"Free it, now."

"Okay." Su Su said.

next moment.

While those remote control seals have not yet been lifted——

Jiu had already asked Su Su to remove the seal of Rahu's Finger.

She still watched several professionals busy at work, her expression extremely calm, but she transmitted the message:
"Tell it that we have discovered it and are ready to destroy it completely."

"Okay, I'll go and talk to her." Su Su said excitedly.

If that finger starts to cause trouble first, causing problems for the entire warehouse, then -

You can't blame a new guy.

She was not in charge of that area.

She had completed her work and had just been transferred here.

The finger was examined by a saint, who deemed it to be fine!

——This completes one round of response.

"I'm done with it."

Su Su replied to Jiu with a smile.

"What does it say?" Jiu asked.

"It told me not to seek death."

"What about you?"
