Gates of the Myriad Realms Chapter 335
byNight deepened.
The Little Girl quietly lifted a corner of her blanket.
“Who should I kill first?”
“I have to kill them all anyway, so I’ll start with the strongest one.”
“But what if I can’t beat them?”
“Throw them to the concentrated multi-negative personality manifestation for harmless processing.”
“… Baxter, I suddenly feel confident.”
The Little Girl was talking to herself, just about to slide off the bed when she felt a sudden heaviness in her body. A deep sleepiness washed over her, and her eyelids closed, putting her to sleep.
Immediately after.
A woman appeared in the void.
—Charlotte!
The most gifted personality of the Nine Aspects, “Snake Woman” Charlotte!
Shen Ye floated up from the Little Girl, looking at the other party in surprise, and said:
“Aren’t you fighting the Demon of Fear in a parallel world? Why are you back?”
“I’m close to not being able to stop it,” Charlotte said.
“No way,” Shen Ye was surprised, “The things the Demon of Fear has to go through are all past events already determined by history, you should know that.”
Charlotte shook her head and sighed:
“Knowing is one thing, but when I actually go and face it again, and try my best to stop it, I myself suffer extremely serious influences, but the Demon of Fear thrives, getting stronger and stronger.”
“So, why are you here this time?” Shen Ye asked.
“Your progress seems good here. I need some advice and strength from you,” Charlotte said.
Charlotte didn’t respond.
She leaned over to look at the sleeping Little Girl on the bed, observing meticulously for seven or eight minutes, a genuine smile gradually appearing on her face:
“Her energy is abundant, and the personalities coexist harmoniously, helping each other. This is thanks to you, Baxter.”
“It’s alright,” Shen Ye also smiled, “We were just about to go kill someone, and you arrived.”
Charlotte nodded slightly and asked:
“Do you have any suggestions for me? Regarding the situation with the Demon of Fear.”
“I remember everyone in that world is you,” Shen Ye said.
“Yes, but I couldn’t kill the Demon of Fear,” Charlotte said.
“Change strategies.”
“Like what?”
“Don’t try to stop it, don’t try to deal with it.”
Charlotte exclaimed, “Then it wins, Baxter, you really are—”
Shen Ye interrupted her, continuing from her previous thought: “No, you absolutely cannot suppress it, that will only make it stronger, because it is inherently the most negative personality.”
“You must give it care and attention, give it selfless help, let everyone treat it with the most sincere heart.”
“You must love it.”
Charlotte was stunned.
After a long time, she gradually came to her senses.
That’s right.
This was the real solution.
Worth a try!
“Baxter, you are a genius—I’ll leave this to you. I’m taking the other personalities and their powers with me.”
“Good luck!”
After Charlotte finished speaking, she touched the sleeping Little Girl’s forehead, then quickly slipped into the void and disappeared.
Only Shen Ye in “ghost” state remained.
“Leaving in such a hurry… why do I feel she doesn’t have that imposing presence she used to? Or is it because she’s been exposed too much?”
Shen Ye muttered, shook his head, and once again merged with the Little Girl.
The next moment.
The Little Girl opened her eyes, sat up in bed, rubbed her hands, and said excitedly:
“Pe’a Suo, check if there are any patrols in the corridors outside, and then I’ll act with Charlotte.”
She jumped off the bed and whispered, “Nancy can keep an eye out for any powerful beasts here, after all, you can communicate with them.”
“Charlotte, you go first, I’ll watch your back.”
The Little Girl was bent over, as if ready to act at any moment.
One breath.
Two breaths.
Three breaths.
She remained motionless, her face gradually showing surprise:
“Pe’a Suo? Charlotte? Nancy?”
No reply.
It wasn’t until this moment that she suddenly remembered “Snake Woman” Charlotte’s words:
“…I’ll leave this to you. I’m taking the other personalities and their powers with me.”
Taken them.
Gone.
Gone.
Damn it!
You took everything, do you want me to play the Little Girl alone?
The Little Girl scratched her scalp in anguish.
Damn Charlotte!
I’ve been working day and night!
It’s infuriating!
She flopped onto the bed, ignoring everything, and started to sleep.
But how could she sleep at a time like this?
After a few minutes, she sighed, sat up, leaned against the wall, and fell into thought.
A strange sense of urgency welled up in her heart.
What if Charlotte failed…
What would happen to her side?
The struggle between the two parallel worlds would ultimately confront the Demon of Fear.
The Demon of Fear would definitely kill her.
Shen Ye was silent for a while, and a vague idea suddenly formed in her mind.
No matter what.
The task at hand was to fulfill the promise.
She turned on the radio again.
“Prepare some things, Kunlun.”
“But how can I give them to you?” Kunlun’s voice came from the radio.
“Put them in a convenient place, I’ll go get them myself.”
Then, the Little Girl listed all the things she needed to prepare.
“Okay… I’ll arrange it right away… it’ll be done in a few minutes.”
Kunlun’s voice carried a hint of helplessness.
The Little Girl quietly got out of bed, walked to the dormitory door, and pulled on it.
The door was locked.
She couldn’t get out.
The Little Girl was silent for a moment.
Right now, the multi-negative personalities and the Emperor Species were still locked in fierce combat within the Dharma World.
It wouldn’t be good for her to appear by world-hopping through the Dharma World.
Then…
She turned around and walked to the bathroom, first plugging the drain of the sink, then turning on the faucet and filling half the sink with water.
“From now on, I must give it my all…”
She looked at her reflection in the water and whispered to herself.
The next instant.
The drain was opened.
The Little Girl also disappeared in an instant.
Only tiny glowing text still floated in the void:
“You activated ‘My Reflection in the Mirror’ and entered the mirror of the sink water.”
“The water flowed into the sewer, leaving the room.”
“You left with the current of water.”
The water from the sink flowed down the drainpipe.
Several minutes later.
Underground, the water in various pipes converged, eventually flowing into the sewage treatment system.
Above the clean water disinfection tank.
A small figure of a girl appeared.
Shen Ye.
No, Baxter.
No—
That was the vampire’s name.
As the Little Girl, she didn’t actually have a real name.
She flew to the ceiling, looking out through the window.
This was a corner at the edge of many buildings.
Not far outside was the wilderness.
The Little Girl went into the window, and then out the other side of the window.
—A window is also a mirror.
The Little Girl quickly formed hand seals and whispered:
“Four Kings.”
Four figures emerged from the dharma-aspect, each wielding weapons, striking poses.
“Go attract them,” Shen Ye said.
The Four Kings nodded, swept past her, and flew towards the center of the institute.
The Little Girl flew in one direction.
Soon, at an open window, she saw what she wanted.
A cell phone.
And a square cardboard box with content already printed on it.
That was it!
The Little Girl collected the items and fully deployed her dharma-aspect.
Having done this, she once again hid in the mirror world formed by the window glass, quietly waiting for the enemy’s arrival.
Before long.
A series of explosions erupted from the center of the institute.
Followed by piercing alarms.
The Four Kings retreated.
A group of professionals followed behind them.
“Don’t let them escape!”
“Go!”
The professionals charged forward.
The next second.
The surroundings suddenly changed.
The institute vanished from sight.
The professionals found themselves standing on a tall mountain.
The sky was dark.
There was a torch in the distance.
The torch illuminated a small path.
“What is this place?” someone asked in a deep voice.
“Form tactical squads according to your professions and begin exploring the situation here!” a professional shouted.
The professionals quickly formed tactical squads.
The leader, holding the torch, rushed ahead along the small path.
They soon arrived at a precipice.
There was no path ahead!
Boom, boom, boom—
A loud noise.
A fifteen-meter-tall steel body flew up, appearing like a demon or a god, suspended amidst the towering cliffs.
“Immortal Puppet!”
Someone exclaimed in shock.
“It’s over, with our strength, how can we possibly defeat an Immortal Puppet!” another professional said.
However, the Immortal Puppet did not attack.
“Don’t be afraid, I’m here to help you,” the Immortal Puppet rumbled.
“Help us?” the professional holding the torch asked in a deep voice.
“There’s a devil here. We need to fight it together, and only after we’ve killed it can we safely leave,” the Immortal Puppet said.
The professionals followed the direction indicated by the Immortal Puppet.
In the distant plain, there was a huge nest.
A piercing shriek came from the nest.
“Demonic beast! And an extremely ancient one!”
“Let’s go quickly.”
“Don’t mind this Immortal Puppet, we can’t possibly defeat that kind of demonic beast!”
“Run!”
The professionals screamed.
However, the power fluctuations within the nest grew stronger and stronger.
That monster was coming!
Everyone searched for a way to leave, but to no avail.
At the crucial moment—
The Immortal Puppet suddenly roared:
“Quick, I lack energy, give me some energy, and I will hold back that monster!”
“How do we give you energy?” the torch-wielding professional asked in a deep voice.
The Immortal Puppet, according to prior preparation, pulled out a large, square sign and threw it at their feet.
“I know you came in a hurry and didn’t bring any money, but please rest assured, as long as you scan this QR code on the ground with your phone and transfer enough funds, I can fight for you.”
The Immortal Puppet’s voice conveyed honesty and sincerity, and it added:
“Please rest assured, this place is connected to your world, and there is Wi-Fi signal.”
“Quick! The situation is urgent, don’t delay!”
The professionals were speechless.
Brother.
If the situation was really that urgent, why did you have time to draw this QR code sign?
Everyone remained still.
A howl suddenly roared from the nest.
There was almost no time to react—
An ice storm suddenly descended, sweeping towards everyone.
“Six-layered Dharma World spell! Work together, be careful!”
The leading professional shouted loudly.
Everyone was about to act, but then they saw seven or eight more large-scale ice storms appearing around the mountain peaks.
—Instant cast!
In an instant, a total of nine ice storms were released.
This quantity broke through the limits of a six-layered spell, escalating to a high-level seven-layered spell.
Who could withstand that!
In just one encounter, two people were blown away, instantly turning into ice chunks in mid-air.
—They were killed!
While everyone was despairing, the Immortal Puppet suddenly spread its arms, blocking all the ice storms.
In an instant.
The threat of death quietly receded.
“Quick!”
The Immortal Puppet roared, “Quickly scan the code and pay! Otherwise, I can’t hold on for long!”
Damn, this is utterly absurd.
But to save their lives—
Everyone frantically pulled out their phones, brought up the “scan” function, and started scanning the QR code.
“Beep!”
wωω ●ттκan ●c○
An interface popped up.
The amount was 100,000 world credit points.
How thoughtful, even the payment amount was pre-set, so you wouldn’t have to worry or think about it.
Just pay up.
Buy life!
Not expensive!
Everyone started paying.
A series of continuous female voices rang out from the Immortal Puppet:
“You have a new incoming fund, totaling 100,000 world credit points.”
The voice sounded several times.
Suddenly.
A sharp icicle pierced through the Immortal Puppet’s finger gap, impaling a professional’s head.
The professional died instantly.
“What do you mean by this? We clearly paid, so why did he still die!”
The professional captain roared.
A pained voice also came from the Immortal Puppet: “Go check his phone! He was just pretending to scan, but he didn’t actually pay, so he couldn’t enjoy my protection service!”
Everyone fell silent.
But soon.
Several more similar female voices rang out from the Immortal Puppet:
“You have a new incoming fund, totaling 100,000 world credit points.”
The Immortal Puppet turned its head and roared:
“I told you to transfer money to me, but can money really fight against that monster?”
“Of course not!” the professional captain said.
“Exactly,” the voice inside the Immortal Puppet revealed a hint of grievance, “I didn’t really want your money, mainly I wanted to see if you had the right attitude.”
“Incidentally, this feeling of not being valued is really a turn-off.”
The Immortal Puppet clutched its face, sobbing, and flew away into the distance.
It flew away.
The professionals stood there stunned.
“Hey.”
“What.”
“I didn’t pay at first, but now I have, so why did it run away?”
“…I can’t figure it out either.”
They didn’t have time to think.
An overwhelming ice storm spell arrived.
On the other side.
The Little Girl moved between the window panes.
Almost two hours had passed.
There was only one hour left before the selection began.
She had to hurry with the killing.
—The powerful old man hadn’t appeared.
Perhaps he wasn’t here.
The Little Girl moved constantly.
The alarms throughout the institute grew increasingly shrill.
Once someone hurried past.
The Little Girl in the window glass would stare at them.
In an instant.
These people vanished.
They appeared directly in the wilderness nest of the Guanghan Palace.
Here, the Earth Demonic Beast had ample rest and was continuously unleashing ice storms.
The Little Girl herself didn’t do much.
She just kept moving, moving, and moving!
Every person in her path vanished completely.
Relying on these future dharma-aspects and terms, every researcher and professional in the institute had to face the Earth Demonic Beast of the “Star of Termination”!
In just twenty minutes.
The kitchen staff and cleaning personnel survived.
Everyone else was exterminated.
The Little Girl found a blind spot where cameras couldn’t see and waited quietly.
A large drone flew in from the night sky.
It landed steadily on the institute’s rooftop, unloaded its cargo, and then slowly flew away.
“All exchanged in the black market and transported here at the fastest speed.”
Kunlun’s voice came from the phone.
“Big Skeleton, go to the top floor and verify the goods,” the Little Girl said.
A skeleton appeared in the void.
It transformed into a flying skeletal dragon, soared straight up, landed on the rooftop, and then transformed back.
The so-called cargo was a two-meter-tall square made of wooden planks.
The Big Skeleton opened it.
Inside, there was another layer of iron container.
And then the container was opened.
A golden glow shone through.
“It’s gold, that’s right, we can collect the dharma-aspect now.”
The Big Skeleton said.
Only then did the Little Girl show a look of delight.
The dharma-aspect needed energy to constantly evolve.
Now that she finally got a batch of gold, she could think about how to upgrade it later.
An invisible wave of energy rippled through the void.
The gold, along with the Big Skeleton, disappeared.
Everything was done.
The Little Girl opened a door and went in.
She returned to the dorm and glanced at Sophie.
Sophie was sound asleep.
The Little Girl got into bed, pulled up the covers, and began to think about what had just happened.
Suddenly.
A faint weeping sound came from outside the door.
The Little Girl’s eyes narrowed.
This crying sound was wrong.
The sound of weeping had penetrated the human world from the Dharma World, then specifically reached her.
It was a call to her.
Could it be the “Myriad Shadows Mourning Demonic City”?
Shen Ye sat up from the bed, grabbed the Hongying Blade from the void, and, holding the blade, tiptoed to the door.
At this point, everyone had already been killed, so she wasn’t afraid of opening the door and disturbing anyone.
The long blade gently sliced at the door lock.
Click.
The door opened.
Shen Ye walked out and immediately saw at the end of the corridor a Little Girl identical to herself, crouching on the ground and weeping incessantly.
—Another personality appeared!
Shen Ye gripped the long blade and asked,
“Something on your mind?”
The reason for asking was that the previous dark personality had made a demand—
Don’t let any bad guy here off the hook.
Charlotte had agreed to her, and only then had she integrated her power into Charlotte’s body.
Now.
Another negative personality had appeared.
Perhaps she had some request as well?
The Little Girl said, “The Demon of Fear and Charlotte are locked in a fierce battle.”
Shen Ye nodded.
“The Emperor Species is holding back my dharma-aspect—in fact, it won’t be able to hold it for long,” the Little Girl added.
Shen Ye nodded.
“I don’t have the patience to wait that long. Let’s settle this directly,” the Little Girl said.
“Which personality are you?” Shen Ye asked.
The Little Girl slowly opened her mouth, emitting dozens of overlapping voices:
“We are all of Nancy’s negative personalities, except for the Demon of Fear.”
Shen Ye said,
“What do you mean by settling this directly?”
“It’s simple: you will experience all of Nancy’s darkest moments throughout her life—if you fall into negative emotions and can’t pull yourself out, you lose; if you can avoid all the pain and maintain a normal emotional state, you win,” the Little Girl said.
“What happens if I win? What happens if I lose?” Shen Ye asked.
“If you lose, you and this world will be destroyed together.”
“What about Charlotte?”
“Charlotte will no longer have any assistance—we will take the Dharma Aspects back to the other parallel world to help the Demon of Fear defeat Charlotte.”
“Then… if I win?” Shen Ye asked.
“Everything we have will be yours,” the Little Girl said.
Shen Ye looked at her and said,
“In this situation, you still want to battle me for supremacy?”
“Yes,” the Little Girl said.
Shen Ye fell silent.
—This wasn’t “no patience to wait too long.”
Perhaps hope had sprouted in the other party’s heart?
To be or not to be, that is the question.
These personalities were immersed in endless pain in their memories, and what they truly longed for, she knew in her heart.
Shen Ye said:
“Then it’s settled.”
The Little Girl immediately smiled.
Black blood overflowed from her eyes, streaming down her cheeks, as she slowly spoke:
“Without any buffer, you will continuously experience all events, thus falling into the same pain as Nancy…”
“Start now!”
Everything around them flashed and vanished.
Shen Ye found herself sitting on a speeding bus.
The conglomeration of negative personalities floated nearby and said,
“Starting from the nearest historical node.”
“—This is an escape, Nancy has escaped from the institute.”
“Bear it all, you are Nancy.”
Having said this, it disappeared.
The bus wasn’t very full.
Shen Ye looked out the window, seeing only an endless wilderness.
The window glass reflected her phantom image.
—The Little Girl looked weary and flustered, until after a period of observation, her original emotions slowly returned to peace.
Suddenly.
A voice beside her said:
“Your mom and dad are really careless, letting you take a bus to another city alone.”
Shen Ye turned her head to look.
She saw a middle-aged woman walking over and sitting in the chair next to her.
What would happen?
Shen Ye looked at the other party, quietly waiting.
“I see you haven’t eaten or had any water—here, I have some snacks and drinks, have some first.”
The middle-aged woman took out a few pieces of bread and a bottle of something to drink.
“Thank you, Auntie.” Shen Ye smiled.
She looked at the other seats, seeing a few lewd-looking middle-aged men glancing over.
“My parents told me not to drink water from strangers,” she continued.
“It’s fine, Auntie is just worried you’re thirsty. Come on, drink it first.” The woman insisted on handing over the bottle.
The Little Girl hesitated for a breath, finally reaching out.
Just as the woman smiled, the Little Girl directly opened the drink’s cap, pressed one hand onto the woman’s head, and with the other hand, shoved the drink into her mouth.
“My parents taught me to respect the old and cherish the young. You look so old, you must drink first before I can.”
No matter how much the woman struggled, the drink was forced down her throat.
The few other people around suddenly stood up, shouting at Shen Ye.
The speeding bus suddenly began to sway.
Thump, thump, thump, thump—
Figures crashed through the window glass, were flung out, and landed far away in the mountains outside the highway.
The bus slammed on its brakes, flashing its hazard lights, and stopped.
Boom—
The bus door was kicked open with immense force.
The Little Girl grabbed the woman’s hair and dragged her off the bus.
“Auntie, why are you so sleepy?”
She stared at the other person curiously.
The middle-aged woman’s face showed terror, but the drug had already taken effect, making her feel terribly sleepy.
The Little Girl continued:
“Auntie is so skilled at this, I wonder how many children’s lives she has ruined. I’ll just reluctantly help Auntie find some peace.”
She grabbed the woman’s hair with one hand and drew out her long blade with the other.
One slash.
The headless body twitched for a while, then went still.
Blood splattered on the Little Girl’s skirt, but she carelessly held the severed head, looking towards the void.
Another Little Girl appeared in mid-air, looking down at her.
Their eyes met.
“You didn’t suffer,” the other said.
“Of course, I just came to experience these memories, not to suffer—just like I’ve already killed all the bad guys in the institute,” Shen Ye said.
