Gatekeeper Of All Realms Chapter 25

The parlor.

The conversation continued.

Xiao Mengyu pondered for a moment, then asked:

“You are a disciple of the Shen family. Have you ever made enemies with other noble family disciples?”

“No.” Shen Ye said firmly.

“I know your parents have long been out of the Shen family’s power core, and I know you rarely go back. But in those few times, did you offend anyone when you celebrated the New Year with the Shen family?”

Xiao Mengyu asked persistently.

“I haven’t really liked to compete with others since I was a child—so I’m sure I haven’t offended anyone, and every time I went back, I got along very well with everyone.” Shen Ye said.

He suddenly sighed again.

“What does that sigh mean? Did something come to mind?” Xiao Mengyu was extremely sharp and immediately asked.

“Qian Rushan once told me a sentence—’Beware of those with ill intentions; they are more worthy of vigilance than monsters’.”

“So I’m thinking, maybe I feel like I have no conflict with others, but others might not think so.”

Shen Ye spoke his mind.

Xiao Mengyu thought for a moment and nodded.

At this moment, she noticed Shen Ye’s nervousness and looked at the bartender staring at her not far away.

—She seemed to have inadvertently released a hint of killing intent.

This was impolite.

Her gently arched eyebrows relaxed, her slender hand left the sword hilt, resting softly in front of her, and her voice softened:

“Sorry, I got a little emotional.”

The killing intent completely receded.

“What you just said makes sense.”

“Come to think of it, ordinary people can’t place orders on the Assassin Alliance’s commission platform to hire killers.”

“I will investigate those you’ve met in the Shen family.”

“If you have any news, please contact me anytime.”

Shen Ye said, “Okay.”

Xiao Mengyu took out her phone and exchanged contact information with him.

The conversation was over.

Shen Ye stood up to escort Xiao Mengyu to the elevator.

Xiao Mengyu suddenly remembered something, stopped, and said:

“Oh, one more thing.”

“Please speak.” Shen Ye said.

“If you find the person behind this, please don’t give up investigating just because they are powerful or influential.”

“You can always find me.”

She brandished her sword, then sheathed it with a “clang.”

Shen Ye only felt a blur in front of his eyes and couldn’t see anything clearly.

Ding.

The elevator arrived.

“Then, let’s keep in touch.” Xiao Mengyu bowed slightly.

“Ah, okay.” Shen Ye said.

The elevator door closed.

She left.

—But what did she just slash?

Shen Ye looked back.

At some point, the parlor was already filled with people.

He wondered where these people had been hiding just now.

They stood crowded together in front of the large, bright floor-to-ceiling windows, all looking up and out.

What were they looking at?

Shen Ye curiously followed everyone’s gaze.

Above the azure sky of the city, a blurred sword shadow hundreds of meters long appeared.

—She slashed that?

This is just too—

“Terrifying.”

Someone said behind him.

Shen Ye looked back and saw Qian Rushan standing there, arms crossed, with a look of both envy and fear.

…

A few minutes later.

The professionals in the parlor dispersed.

“When she came, I specifically asked her.”

Qian Rushan sat on the other side of the table, speaking in the tone of a seasoned elder brother.

“What did you ask her?” Shen Ye asked.

“If she would attack you.” Qian Rushan said.

“What did she say?” Shen Ye asked.

“She said that since her brother gave you the password, he clearly wants you to live well, and she should follow her brother’s last wish.”

Qian Rushan shrugged and continued, “She also said that you are a victim, and she won’t make things difficult for you.”

“That’s reasonable.” Shen Ye breathed a sigh of relief.

“She is the most outstanding descendant of the Luo family in this generation, and among the great noble families, she can be called a prodigy.” Qian Rushan said.

“Is she still in school? Or has she started working?” Shen Ye asked.

Qian Rushan’s gaze suddenly became strange.

“She’s also going to high school this year, so she should be in the same grade as you.”

“Huh?” Shen Ye said in surprise.

“Exactly. Noble family descendants often have secret inheritances, are cultivated from a young age, and far surpass their peers in ‘comprehension’ and ‘resonance’.”

“As for her, she just graduated from junior high this year and is going to senior high school, so she should be in the same batch of examinees as you.”

After Qian Rushan finished speaking, he secretly glanced at Shen Ye.

That girl was too outstanding.

The difference between people was so vast that even he felt a little defeated seeing that giant sword shadow, let alone Shen Ye, who was of the same age.

“Don’t be discouraged. In fact, there’s always a huge gap between noble family descendants and ordinary students.” Qian Rushan comforted him.

“I can’t be happier,” Shen Ye shrugged and said, “She’s on my side now. Once I find the mastermind, she can help.”

“That’s true.” Qian Rushan nodded.

“I didn’t sleep well last night, so I’m going back to catch up on sleep. We can talk later if anything comes up.” Shen Ye stood up and stretched.

“Go ahead. Tomorrow, I’ll arrange for a few teachers to explain the precautions for the exam.”

“Thank you very much then.”

Shen Ye returned to his dormitory.

He truly lay on the bed and slept, not waking until noon.

After a cold shower, the fatigue and exhaustion from staying up all night yesterday were completely gone.

Shen Ye sat on the sofa, refreshed, and began to concentrate on reviewing everything that had happened recently.

Xiao Mengyu’s appearance meant that the situation had reached its most dangerous point.

If the enemy was truly a noble family descendant—

He could fully realize how deadly that would be.

Noble families.

These were the highest echelons of human civilization.

They could casually throw out a sum of money and use the Assassin Alliance to easily buy his life.

Who could it be?

Could it really be someone he met as a child?

That was too ridiculous.

But he still had to investigate carefully.

Shen Ye closed his eyes, immersed in his memories, and reviewed everything he had experienced and everyone he had met in the past ten years or so.

Unfortunately, he found nothing.

His childhood memories were very vague.

Recalling it now, he only remembered playing with a group of peers after returning to his grandfather’s house for the New Year.

The original Shen Ye was very considerate of others’ feelings.

He shouldn’t have offended anyone, right?

Not only had he not offended anyone, but once, when two little girls were being chased by a vicious dog, he had even risked his life to save them.

Then.

In recent events, had he missed anything?

That day, he went to the hospital to visit Chen Haoyu. Chen Haoyu had gone for treatment, so he waited in his ward.

Because the junior high school entrance exam was approaching, he took out a book to review while waiting.

The room darkened.

He thought it was a power outage, or that Chen Haoyu’s treatment was over, and subconsciously looked up at the door.

The door opened.

An empty hospital bed slid down the hallway.

The eerie long-haired woman crawled out from under the bed.

Strange—

When the curse activated, were there no other people around?

In such a large hospital, someone should be on duty in the inpatient department.

Shen Ye suddenly opened his eyes.

…No!

In his memory, a terrified scream clearly came from the hallway!

Who saw that scene?

In the past few days, because he had just arrived in this world and everything was still unfamiliar, his body was still weak, and there was a police investigation, so he hadn’t paid much attention.

But now, re-examining everything—

That scream represented an eyewitness.

What did the eyewitness know?

Luo Feichuan was already dead, the murderer had been apprehended, and the entire case had been closed.

So no one would investigate the eyewitness anymore, right?

Shen Ye slowly stood up.

No.

This matter concerned his safety, and he had to investigate it.

But what right did he have to investigate?

—Even outstanding figures like Luo Feichuan had died.

He hadn’t even graduated from junior high and couldn’t fully execute the “Moonlit Deer Walk” elf soldier movement technique.

He had no offensive skills.

He only had a gun. uukanshu.net

Did he want to play a gunfight?

Sorry, he hadn’t learned to shoot either.

Shen Ye slowly sat down, regaining his composure.

He opened his phone, found Xiao Mengyu’s contact information, and explained the eyewitness situation.

Xiao Mengyu quickly replied:

“I’ll investigate immediately. Wait for my news.”

—That’s right.

Why risk personal danger when there’s a master swordsman available?

But he really needed to learn some offensive moves quickly.

After all, he wouldn’t always have a master swordsman by his side to help.

Ultimately, a person had to rely on themselves!

“Hey, Big Skeleton, do you still have any nightmare crystals—the kind with skills?” Shen Ye asked.

Sometimes he could also rely on the undead!

“Everything I have here are undead skills. You are not undead, and you don’t have soul fire power, so you can’t use them.” Big Skeleton replied.

“Didn’t you give me a ‘Moonlit Deer Walk’ before?”

“That was an accidental find.”

Shen Ye fell into thought.

Did he have to wait until high school before he had a chance to learn offensive moves?

He couldn’t wait.

—He couldn’t just run every time he encountered an assassination.

It seemed he still needed to go to the nightmare world to get some nightmare crystals.

Nightmare world…

He had already obtained a descriptor today, but he could still open the door and enter again.

—Entering the door again on the same day wouldn’t grant a evaluation descriptor, but he could do other things.

Such as searching for nightmare crystals.

So, he would go again!

Shen Ye made his decision.
