Gatekeeper Of All Realms Chapter 127

11:59 PM.

The alarm clock rang on time.

Shen Ye got up from bed, yawned, washed up, and got ready.

There were too many things!

If it weren’t for the matters of Big Skeleton and Prince Norton, he really wouldn’t want to go.

—It was the right thing to do to accumulate days using the “Little Match Boy” trait.

Wouldn’t it be delightful to directly exchange for a high-level trait after nine days?

During these nine days, he could also slowly hone his “Night Roaming” skill and successfully take up the “Demon Subduer” profession.

But it couldn’t be helped.

Skeleton and the Prince were good friends.

Coming to their rescue in a pinch.

…He also needed power.

Shen Ye sighed and raised his hand to look.

On his palm, another one of the six scarlet vertical lines had disappeared.

Two days had passed.

Five more days to go.

He really didn’t know what the Skinner’s current strength was.

He could only run forward with all his might, striving to improve his own strength as quickly as possible.

He must surpass him!

Shen Ye stood up, placed his hand on the bedroom door, and stepped into it.

The battlefield secret passage.

“What do we do now? Go get the Prince’s key?”

Big Skeleton asked.

“No… We’ll go ourselves, not according to his plan,” Shen Ye said.

“That works too. I know a hidden undead teleportation array; perhaps humans haven’t discovered it,” Big Skeleton said.

“No need for a teleportation array,” Shen Ye said.

“Are we walking there? That’s very far, it will take several days and nights,” Big Skeleton said.

“Do your undead have any normal means of travel—the kind of public transportation everyone can take?” Shen Ye asked.

“Ghost Train,” Big Skeleton uttered four words, then continued, “We need to reach the border town of the Undead Empire before 12:30. There’s a ghost train there that goes straight to Eternal Night City.”

“Let’s go,” Shen Ye said.

He left the secret passage and walked out of the human encampment.

Many people recognized him along the way, and some even led a horse for him.

Shen Ye thanked the other party.

“No need to thank me, everyone is working for the Prince.”

The warrior said in a low voice, while raising his hand and making an “I love you” gesture.

Understood.

It was a friend from the Assassin Brotherhood of Shadows!

“May the shadows protect you and me.”

Shen Ye nodded to the other party, also made an “I love you” gesture, and then mounted his horse and left.

It wasn’t until the horse ran out of the human encampment that Big Skeleton couldn’t help but speak:

“Riding a horse is too slow, we might not make it.”

“That’s not necessarily true!”

Shen Ye rode to a secluded section of the road, and with a shake of his body, flew into the night sky, quickly crossing the canal, traversing mountains, and heading towards the small city of the Undead Kingdom.

This saved a lot of time.

The only trouble was—

Although this flying technique was already very good, it still consumed mental energy.

By the time he crossed the border, Shen Ye put on his cloak and disguised himself as a vampire, gradually approaching the border town—

His mental energy was already down to 1 point.

He had no choice but to use free attribute points to replenish the consumption, continued to fly for a while, and finally landed in the small city.

“Why are they all zombies?”

Shen Ye looked around and asked.

This undead small town wasn’t particularly special; there were just a lot of zombies, but they were all polite and didn’t seem like they wanted to bite anyone.

A zombie accidentally bumped into him and immediately apologized.

Tsk.

A civilized city indeed!

“It’s a small place, so there are more ghouls and not many high-level undead,” Big Skeleton explained.

“Do we need to buy tickets for the train?”

“Buy tickets on board,” Big Skeleton said.

“Then let’s go.”

Shen Ye quickly found the train station.

It was called a train station, but it was actually just an empty piece of land.

There were no buildings or staff related to a train station visible at all.

Time quickly arrived.

A whistle sounded in the distance.

Shen Ye looked up and saw a pale blue, blurry, translucent train approaching from afar, slowly stopping in the open space, emitting waves of chilling cold air all around.

A ghost train!

Looking closely, only on the ground where the train stopped could tracks be faintly seen.

Werewolves, zombies, skeletons, and ghosts who had been waiting nearby rushed forward and squeezed onto the train.

Shen Ye looked around and asked, “Why isn’t anyone rushing to the train cars over there?”

“Those are business class carriages, they’re expensive, twelve bone coins for one seat,” Big Skeleton said.

“What about non-business class carriages?”

“Three bone coins.”

Shen Ye nodded.

—The world is interconnected.

He walked through the crowd and went straight to a carriage near the front of the train.

“Hello, eighteen bone coins.”

A blonde beauty in uniform stood at the carriage door, smiling at him.

“I remember it being twelve bone coins.” Shen Ye mused.

“You have a trace of soul fire about you—you’re bringing a child, aren’t you? Children are half price.” The blonde beauty said in a tone that saw through his thoughts yet was respectful and courteous.

“Ah, how impressive, I am indeed carrying a rather agitated child.”

Shen Ye paid the bone coins.

The blonde beauty smiled at him, revealing the dark runes on her face.

—This was a Night魅 Ghost from the Shadow race!

It was said that this race had particularly strong perception, and could make a living in any profession.

The business class carriage was indeed spacious and bright, with very few passengers.

Shen Ye found a window seat and sat down.

“I was observing the surroundings and was accidentally caught by her perception, so she thought I was a child. But I’m not, actually,” Big Skeleton explained.

“Got it, kid,” Shen Ye said.

At this point, the train slowly started moving.

—Actually, apart from its somewhat peculiar appearance, the train itself wasn’t very different from a human train.

Until the meal boxes were distributed—

A skeleton lady sitting diagonally in front of Shen Ye received a whole box of fresh bones.

On the packaging, there were a few glowing small characters:

“Hell-level spicy.”

Sichuanese?

Shen Ye mumbled softly, but then saw an alluring and beautiful zombie 소녀 walk through the carriage, come before him, and bow slightly:

“Would you like to dine?”

The young girl asked timidly, while pulling down her collar to reveal her smooth, fair neck.

No, what are you doing?

—Is this how you test cadres?

Oh…

He remembered, he was a vampire now.

“I’m not hungry.”

Shen Ye said with a cold expression.

“It’s fine, you’re so handsome, I won’t charge you.” The girl said shyly.

Shen Ye was slightly stunned.

Can I really get a free meal like this?

No sooner had he thought this than a line of faint text appeared:

“Trait: The Freeloader has been automatically activated.”

“Description: When you first enter a store and make a purchase, you don’t have to pay, and no one will bother you.”

“Can be used again after one day.”

“—Brother Ye, you’re the man! I, Peiqi, will follow you in the underworld!”

Shen Ye was speechless, waved his hand at the girl, and said:

“Seriously, no need, thanks.”

The girl’s expression was a little dejected; she bowed slightly again and left.

“Feilun, why don’t you come out and take the train yourself? I’m not quite used to your undead dietary habits.”

Shen Ye said silently.

“No, I can’t appear, can I? I’m wanted nationwide!” Big Skeleton said in a helpless tone.

The scenery outside the window constantly receded.

The broadcast then sounded:

“Attention! We will be passing through the first layer of Hell in five minutes, so the windows must be closed. We appreciate your understanding, dear passengers.”

Shen Ye’s heart tightened upon hearing this.

Aren’t we going to Hell?

If we can go directly via this train—

He couldn’t help but ask in a low voice:

“Hey, this train can travel through Hell!”

“Yes, I heard it’s to cut short the journey—the big boss on the first layer of Hell has a stake, so it’s allowed. But the ghost train can only operate in specific locations on the first layer; there are many Hell guards outside, so don’t get any good ideas,” Big Skeleton explained.

“But why do we have to close the windows?” Shen Ye asked again.

“I haven’t ridden it before either, but I heard it’s because some undead are afraid of ghosts. If too many ghosts float in and cause a disturbance, it wouldn’t be good for the train’s normal operation,” Big Skeleton said.

“Are the undead also afraid of ghosts?” he asked curiously.

“Why wouldn’t they be afraid?” Big Skeleton replied, even more surprised.

“You’re already undead, and you’re still afraid of ghosts from Hell?” Shen Ye became even more puzzled.

“Then why do you humans have nightlife every day, and yet some people are still afraid of the dark?” Big Skeleton was even more confused.

This logic…

It was convincing.

Shen Ye shook his head, unsure of what to say.

Forget it.

Rest for a while, and we’ll talk when we get there.

The carriage door opened.

The blonde beauty from before pushed a cart and entered.

“Fresh organs—”

“Brains, kidneys, stewed intestines, get them now!”

She shouted as she walked.

The cart slowly rolled past Shen Ye.

“Are you scared? If not, should we just teleport to Eternal Night City another day?” Big Skeleton asked cautiously.

“It’s fine, I’ve seen too many scenes like this,” Shen Ye said with a calm expression.

—It’s just that the things being sold are a little different.

The car window closed automatically.

The broadcast sounded again:

“Greetings, travelers.”

“We are now going to verify identities in response to Eternal Night City’s policy to ensure travel safety.”

“Your peace of mind is my relief, and maintaining public order is every undead’s responsibility.”

Only then did Shen Ye become worried.

“Hey, what about the ID?” he asked.

Big Skeleton said in a deep voice, “Don’t worry, my years as a battlefield quartermaster weren’t for nothing—”

Shen Ye interrupted him and said, “Last time, there was a boy who survived a great disaster in Rhine County. This time, please don’t be so high-profile again, I beg you.”

“You’re being picky now,” Big Skeleton said, displeased. “The entire county died then, just to cover up your identity. Now you can’t even get that kind of identity.”

“Alas, I just hope you’ll be more practical and not go for such high-profile identities,” Shen Ye said.

“Don’t worry, buddy, this time I’ve got something good for you,” Big Skeleton said.

*Clack.*

A soldier’s dog tag appeared on the table, inscribed with a line of undead script:

“? Baxter.”
