Gates of the Myriad Realms Chapter 334
byA man over two meters tall.
Calling him a man, but his entire body was covered in barbs, piercing through his steel armor, gleaming with a sharp, cold light.
His skin was gray, his eyes glowed with a fierce, bestial light, and his entire body was hunched on the ground, his hands and feet no longer human, but bone claws.
The Little Girl watched from afar, hesitating for a moment.
She was now a fifth-level Spirit-master.
She could definitely win the fight.
But—
“All surveillance equipment ready.”
The whole world was watching.
If she performed too astonishingly, and they sent powerful individuals from all over the world to capture her for dissection, she wouldn’t be able to handle it.
Charlotte had family and friends in this world.
She couldn’t just open a door and leave every time.
She had to think of another way…
The實驗體 roared and began to run towards the crowd.
No!
Can’t wait any longer!
The Little Girl hid in the restroom, her mind stirred.
In the square outside.
The void suddenly opened.
A massive steel foot descended from the sky, landing on the ground with a “clang.”
Immortal Puppet!
It was over ten meters tall, but Shen Ye cunningly kept it hidden within the divine form.
Only a giant steel foot was exposed.
It stomped down!
“Huh, this step feels so soft, did I step on something?”
The Big Skeleton scratched its head in the cockpit.
It lifted its foot, then—
Clang, clang, clang!
Several stomps in a row.
The ground trembled.
Each stomp of this Immortal Puppet carried a strong impact of flames.
It had already detected the virus contained in the opponent and immediately launched a targeted fire annihilation.
Until the opponent was reduced to bone fragments—
“Hmm, now it feels right.”
The Big Skeleton said, slowly lifting its foot, letting the steel foot return to the divine form, and disappearing.
In the service area square, only a charred pile of ash remained.
Silence.
The Little Girl grinned mischievously, still staying in the restroom, not coming out at all.
Until screams of terror echoed outside.
People scattered and fled.
The entire service area descended into chaos.
Professionals had to step in to maintain order.
The Little Girl remained hidden in the restroom, waiting for everything to subside.
Suddenly.
A voice came from the depths of the restroom:
“Is this really okay?”
The Little Girl turned her head to look, only to see another version of herself pass through the wall and lightly land in the restroom.
She wore a black short skirt, her expression full of resentment.
“Be careful, this is one of my negative personalities. Her personal appearance must mean she wants to kill me.”
Pe’a Suo said.
As soon as the words fell, the control of the body was handed over to Shen Ye again.
“Don’t you want to stop everything from happening? Are you willing to watch your friends die in experiments like this?” Shen Ye asked.
At this moment, he was the Little Girl in a red dress, one of the Nine Aspects personalities.
“I hate those people.”
The girl in the black skirt radiated a mist-like divine form, her tone calm, as if suppressing her killer intent:
“Even if you change the event, their hearts and actions won’t change. If they don’t kill us today, they will kill others later—”
“Can you really save everyone they’ve harmed?”
“What if I do?” Shen Ye asked.
“If the bad guys aren’t punished, none of it means anything,” the girl in the black skirt said.
Layers of divine forms unfolded behind her.
Vaguely, in the depths of the phantom, the Emperor Species was still fiercely battling the divine form.
But the girl in the black skirt couldn’t care less.
Her anger at the whole incident could no longer be suppressed.
Shen Ye smiled.
“Charlotte,” he called.
Charlotte immediately switched to the personality controlling the body, and Shen Ye left the body.
“Do you want me to fight her?”
Charlotte looked at the black-skirted girl opposite her and asked.
Shen Ye said:
“It’s not about fighting—I think you need to figure this out yourself. Only when your mind is clear can you persuade her.”
“Remember, she is you, and you are her.”
Charlotte looked at the girl in the black skirt opposite her.
The girl in the black skirt stared at her, as if she would strike at any moment.
Charlotte was a little unsure and said:
“Baxter—”
“Don’t ask me,” Shen Ye interrupted her, “You are Charlotte, destined to awe countless worlds in the future.”
“—You need to ask yourself what you truly think deep down, and give her an answer. Don’t lie to yourself, and don’t lie to her.”
Charlotte pondered for a moment, then took a step and walked towards the black-skirted girl.
“Finally made a decision, to fight me to the death, to kill me?”
The black-skirted girl sneered.
The divine form behind her fully unfolded, surrounding Charlotte, ready to swallow her at any moment.
Charlotte walked up and gently embraced the other party.
“I feel so much for you.”
She whispered in the other’s ear: “When you were so young, you saw how humans treated their own kind. You watched your friends die in the experiments, and your heart must have lived in hell every day.”
“I stopped caring about myself a long time ago,” the black-skirted girl said.
Charlotte smiled, looking intently at the other’s cold, callous face, her voice growing softer:
“Coincidentally, me too.”
“If Baxter hadn’t enlightened me, I would probably be desperately trying to destroy you right now.”
“But I understand now, if I cherish myself, I should cherish you.”
Meeting the other’s bewildered gaze, Charlotte spoke the words:
“I won’t spare a single one of those vile individuals.”
The black-skirted girl’s eyes suddenly lit up.
“What are you going to do?” she asked.
Charlotte said, “Get rid of them—”
“Those who care nothing for the lives of others, I will use their corpses to honor you, and to honor my past self.”
“I will find the mastermind and make him die.”
“—I won’t give anyone another chance to hurt me!”
As soon as the words fell.
The illusory divine form transformed into a fierce gust of wind, scattering with a roar.
Tears streamed from the black-skirted girl’s eyes.
She stretched out her arms and hugged Charlotte, asking in a low voice:
“What if you can’t do it?”
“Then I wouldn’t be me anymore; I would cease to exist,” Charlotte said firmly.
The black-skirted girl transformed into myriad phantoms, merging into Charlotte’s body and disappearing.
Shen Ye stood by and watched, suddenly seeing lines of faint glowing characters appear:
“Charlotte has awakened.”
“The City of Myriad Shadows has lost a component.”
“A negative personality has integrated into Charlotte and become her strength.”
“Charlotte has grown stronger.”
“Your synchronization rate with the other party has increased.”
“Current synchronization rate: 61%.”
“Synchronization time: anytime.”
“Gained special effect: Soul Harmony.”
“Description: Personalities (including you) can manifest simultaneously, cooperating with each other to control the body.”
“—You must fulfill what Charlotte has declared, otherwise Charlotte’s personality will turn negative.”
All the small words disappeared.
Charlotte turned her head to look at Shen Ye, seemingly waiting for his reaction.
Shen Ye gave a thumbs up.
“Is revenge worth it?” Charlotte asked.
“You are doing it for everyone’s safety, so I think this revenge will be very satisfying,” Shen Ye said.
“I seem to remember a lot of things… It’s ironic that I used to be so muddled, only caring about my own sadness, but never seeking the root cause,” Charlotte said.
“There’s no one here anymore, quickly go find your little friends,” he reminded.
Charlotte then frantically ran out of the restroom, instantly transforming into Nancy, and cried out tearfully:
“What’s wrong? Teacher? Sophie? Where are you?”
Sophie immediately rushed over, took her hand, and, under the watchful eyes of several professionals, ran back to the assembled group.
“What happened?” the Little Girl asked in a panic.
“It’s nothing, Nancy, don’t be scared, we have so many people protecting us.”
Sophie’s face was pale, and she was trembling all over, but she managed to force a smile at the Little Girl.
The Little Girl deliberately craned her neck and looked around.
Actually, there wasn’t much to see.
The pile of ash in the square was far away, and as long as one hadn’t seen the experimental subject before, it was just a pile of ash.
A bewildered expression appeared on the Little Girl’s face.
“What are people afraid of? Nothing seems to have happened, was there a monster?”
She asked curiously.
“A ‘calamity’ broke out,” a little boy whispered.
“Calamity? What’s that?” the Little Girl asked, puzzled.
“Nancy, you really don’t know anything,” another little girl sighed.
A rumble sounded in the sky.
Transport helicopters landed one after another.
“Quick!”
“Everyone on the planes, we’re moving immediately!”
The leader shouted loudly.
The other professionals looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Immediately after.
Several enormous presences emerged from the sky.
Three seventh-level Spirit-master experts revealed themselves.
They floated in the sky, their eyes fixed on their surroundings, guarding against any possible attack.
With them present, the situation finally calmed down.
The helicopters filled with children quickly rose into the air and flew into the distance.
Over an hour later.
In the wilderness.
A large expanse of white metal buildings came into view.
The research institute had arrived!
The helicopters slowly descended.
Approximately 200 children were led inside the building, stopping in a large square.
A gentle broadcast voice sounded:
“Greetings, esteemed guests.”
“May I inquire if there are any honored ones from the Immortal Kingdom above present? If so, you shall receive our most solemn welcome!”
The broadcast repeated three times.
The children were all bewildered.
Nancy was no exception.
—She didn’t understand the meaning of that sentence at all.
Shen Ye, however, was startled.
This was from the Nine Aspects’ very distant past memories. Although it had manifested into the real world, he hadn’t heard anything about an Immortal Kingdom!
Could it be that one kick from the Big Skeleton?
—The Immortal Puppet merely revealed one foot, and this world already figured it out?
Shen Ye suddenly realized that this world was deeper than he had imagined.
He relied on his current state as a “ghost,” passing through metal walls one after another, rapidly searching.
Before long.
He actually found a conference room.
Many powerful individuals were gathered here, sitting together, watching images displayed on a large screen.
Each child’s expression was repeatedly played.
Next to it were detailed heartbeat frequency detections, brainwave fluctuation, and movement pattern analyses.
All data for the more than 200 children flashed continuously across the screen.
—They were observing and analyzing the children!
Shen Ye was not nervous.
Nancy didn’t know about the Immortal Kingdom, so she acted very naturally.
Furthermore, when the incident happened, she wasn’t on site but in the restroom nearby, so she was subconsciously overlooked.
After all, this era couldn’t comprehend “future-type” names yet.
About fifteen minutes later.
A cold, emotionless electronic voice sounded:
“Analysis complete. No suspicious subjects found.”
Sitting at the main table in the center, the white-haired old man coughed lightly and said,
“Children this young are also not suitable for parasitism, so it shouldn’t be the children’s fault. I suspect someone at the service area had a problem.”
“—Go investigate everyone who stayed at the service area.”
“What if we find the target?” someone asked.
The old man touched his head and sighed, “It’s really troublesome. That Immortal Kingdom is terrifying, it’s best not to get involved.”
“Do you mean?” the person asked.
“Once the target is found, all Spirit-masters above level seven will strike. I’ll go too. I must see him die with my own eyes.”
“Yes.”
Shen Ye fell into thought upon hearing this.
Immortal Kingdom…
Even in this ancient era, when the Nine Aspects was still a young girl, did the Immortal Kingdom already exist?
These people clearly knew about the Immortal Kingdom.
This was an opportunity.
After all, in his own era, on the death planet, the Immortal Kingdom had long retreated into the great tomb, and no information about it could be found.
Even the Spirit-masters who sealed the great tomb knew nothing.
Extremely mysterious.
Who would have thought he could gain information from the Nine Aspects’ memories!
This was an unexpected gain.
Shen Ye passed through layers of walls and returned to Charlotte’s side.
“Baxter, there are cameras everywhere here. Come in, let’s play ‘talking to myself’.”
This was Nancy’s voice.
“How do we play?” Shen Ye asked.
“Just come in and you’ll find out.”
“Okay.”
Shen Ye overlapped with the Little Girl’s body, instantly gaining control of the body.
“Ha! Can you hear me talking to you now?” Nancy asked excitedly.
“I can hear you,” Shen Ye said.
“How interesting!” Nancy said with a smile.
Shen Ye was speechless.
—I could hear you when I was a “ghost” too!
But there were still differences.
He raised his hand.
The Little Girl raised her hand accordingly.
“Don’t make any unnecessary movements, or you’ll attract the attention of several cameras,” Pe’a Suo whispered.
“Hmph,” Charlotte snorted disdainfully.
This was an unprecedented scene.
This was something no one had ever heard of.
In one body.
Four personalities manifested simultaneously, cooperating with each other, rather than alternating turns.
The broadcast sounded again:
“It’s dinner time now.”
“Everyone follow the teacher’s guidance to the dining hall for dinner, then arrange dormitories.”
“Please have a good rest tonight.”
A joyful children’s song sounded.
Nancy took Sophie’s hand and queued up to walk to the dining hall.
“This doesn’t quite feel like a school.”
Sophie whispered.
“You said that later too,” Nancy smiled.
“What?” Sophie was puzzled.
“Nothing, Sophie, this time it’s my turn to protect you,” Charlotte said flatly.
All the children entered the dining hall and sat down.
But the food hadn’t been served yet.
A white-haired old man walked onto the stage, smiling at everyone.
“Good evening, children.”
“I am your principal.”
“Before dinner, I have a small program prepared, I hope you all have fun.”
The professionals placed large black boxes on each dining table.
The old man continued:
“There’s a box on each of your tables, containing three thousand number tags.”
“But only 209 of them have numbers.”
“The rest are blank.”
“You only get one chance to reach into the box and pull out a tag.”
“Blank tags get 0 points, no dinner.”
“Get a numbered tag, you get dinner tonight.”
“Furthermore, the smaller the number on the tag, the higher the score, and the higher your ranking.”
“The top three will receive prizes.”
“First place gets a single room, a tablet, and a bottle of evolution fluid;”
“Second place gets ten days of lavish meals and a bottle of evolution fluid;”
“Third place gets a radio and a bottle of evolution fluid.”
“Start!”
As the words fell.
Many curious children had already begun to reach into the black box to pull out number tags.
The Little Girl sat still.
—What do you want?
Pe’a Suo silently asked in her mind.
Her hand traced the number “3” under the table.
“Listen to Baxter, we don’t need to be too conspicuous,” she said in a cold tone.
At this moment, some children had already raised the numbered tags in their hands high.
“Ah, excellent, the first place has appeared!”
On the high platform, the old man applauded.
But at one dining table after another, children kept holding up the numbers 1 and 2.
“I see so many talented sprouts, you are all wonderful, you are all tied for first place!”
The old man became even happier, grinning from ear to ear.
Pe’a Suo reached into the box, felt around, and pushed the number 2 tag aside, letting a small hand that reached in grab the tag.
Sophie.
She hesitated, looking at the Little Girl.
The Little Girl nodded at her.
Sophie then unhesitatingly grabbed the tag and took it out of the black box.
“Number 2!”
WW▲т tk a n▲℃O
Sophie gleefully held up the tag.
The Little Girl then directly took out the tag marked with 3.
A radio!
She stood up and, along with Sophie, queued up to receive her prize.
The vast majority of children in the audience got numbered tags.
But among the remaining few, one child stomped their foot in anger, creating a large hole in the floor.
The old man saw it and couldn’t help but laugh:
“Alright, tonight’s little program was a bit biased and couldn’t truly test your abilities.”
“Blank tags get food too!”
“Everyone, let’s eat!”
Chefs pushed dining carts into the restaurant, quickly serving dishes.
Everyone was already hungry, and upon hearing that there was food and seeing the exquisite dishes on the tables, they all cheered.
Everyone devoured their food quickly, and even the Little Girl ate two pieces of bread, a bowl of noodles, and drank a large glass of strawberry juice.
The entire day’s journey had been absolutely exhausting.
Especially for children.
Dormitory assignment was very quick.
Sophie and Nancy were assigned a double room, with beds, pillows, and quilts already prepared.
“Nancy, do you think we really have to attend classes tomorrow?”
Sophie asked, yawning, lying on the bed.
“Probably, since we’re already here,” Nancy replied.
“I really don’t want to go to class,” Sophie said.
“Why?” Nancy asked.
Sophie didn’t answer.
She had fallen asleep.
Nancy waited a while longer before taking out the radio, setting the volume to the lowest, and then pressing the power switch.
“Sizzle—hiss—sizzle—”
“Welcome to…”
“Matching with your brainwaves.”
“Match successful.”
“Please mentally recite the content you wish to hear; it will be presented to you shortly.”
“Searching database.”
“Now reading aloud to you—”
The blanket was suddenly pulled back.
The Little Girl jumped, crying out and shrinking into the corner.
A professional appeared in the room, staring at the radio under the blanket with wide eyes.
“It’s too late, go to sleep immediately!”
He shouted.
A wave of annoyance rose in the Little Girl’s heart.
This wasn’t Earth anymore, and she was still caught listening to a radio in her dorm?
“This is my prize!”
She angrily turned off the radio, rolled herself and the radio in the blanket, faced the wall, closed her eyes, and went to sleep.
Seeing this, the professional couldn’t be bothered to intervene further, and vanished in a flash.
The Little Girl’s eyes turned deep blue.
“Sophie’s sleeping soundly,” Nancy said.
“It’s a space-type professional, quite rare,” Charlotte said.
“Right now, we still need to use the radio to check Kunlun’s progress,” Shen Ye said.
“Start, I’ll turn off the radio before he comes back,” Pe’a Suo said.
The four personalities finished communicating.
The radio turned on again.
A voice immediately popped out from the radio:
“In three hours, the screening will start again.”
“This screening will release a thousand demon snakes.”
“Quickly find a solution.”
“Don’t worry,” the Little Girl said, “help me check for records of the Immortal Kingdom in this world, it’s very important.”
“Immortal Kingdom? Okay, I’ll check.” Kunlun’s voice disappeared.
The Little Girl seemed to sense something, flicked her finger, and turned off the radio.
The next second.
The professional reappeared in the dormitory.
The dormitory was silent.
The two little girls seemed to be sound asleep.
—The little girl who looked so defiant just now was also asleep.
It seemed she was too tired, and it wasn’t enough to violate discipline again.
The professional nodded in satisfaction, flashed, and disappeared from the dormitory.
Under the Little Girl’s blanket, a middle finger rose.
“Charlotte, how about we take them out tonight?”
“Okay, Baxter.”
