Gatekeeper Of All Realms Chapter 141

Auction House.

Room.

Shen Ye looked at the two procurement lists in front of him.

“Sorry, I almost messed up.”

Big Skeleton transmitted its thoughts in frustration.

“It’s okay, it’s not your fault. In fact, we didn’t even know we had to be careful when buying things,” Shen Ye said.

That Kevin even tried to test him before leaving.

It didn’t really trust him.

It hadn’t truly let him go.

—It was just that the risk of provoking him now was too great. If he was truly innocent, then it would be in big trouble.

That’s why it backed down.

…Interesting.

“That ghoul just now was full of schemes. We need to be careful from now on,” Shen Ye said.

“What do we do now?” Big Skeleton asked.

“Since the money is spent, of course, we’ll buy all the materials and then return to our world to complete the advancement,” Shen Ye said.

“That would be safe,” Big Skeleton breathed a sigh of relief.

An hour later.

Shen Ye walked out of a large material store.

—The materials for upgrading “Gloom Whisper” had been collected. According to Big Skeleton, as long as it performed a secret technique, this skill could be advanced at any time.

But—

Shen Ye walked forward without looking sideways, then suddenly stopped and looked at the shops on the roadside.

He appeared to be examining the goods in the shop.

But his peripheral vision caught sight of the void behind him—

In that void, two lines of keywords appeared:

“Dark Soul Assassin.”

“Dark Soul Assassin.”

Someone was following, and it was two people.

He didn’t need to think twice to know who they were.

But it didn’t matter.

Shen Ye walked back leisurely, paused briefly at the entrance of a clothing store, and then walked in.

As Madam Daisy had said, he first bought a few outfits.

He had to admit, clothes make the man—

Especially vampires.

He bought the most expensive black leather coat in the store, which was said to have seven or eight protective enchantments, with a red rose pinned to his chest. On his feet were a pair of leather boots with three effects: lightness, levitation, and floating. The leather pants on his legs had several protective magic embroideries.

—All for protection, nothing else considered!

Such an outfit, complementing his pale and sickly handsome face, truly possessed a unique charm.

Elegant!

He tried on clothes, changed clothes, discussed clothes with the salesperson, and in between, he even had a meal, went to the restroom, and then went to the veteran’s guild to sit for a while, chatting with that necromancer for over half an hour.

However, it was still a bit early for noon.

He thought for a moment, bid farewell to the necromancer, returned to the small alley, walked back to the inn, went upstairs, and entered his room.

—The tails were quite professional, always following unhurriedly.

But now he was going into his room.

Shen Ye took out his key and opened the door.

A gust of wind blew.

The two tails, transformed into invisible winds, rushed into the door first.

“Huh? I think I forgot something at the veteran’s guild.”

Shen Ye stood in the hallway, closing the door with a “bang,” muttering to himself.

The two tails stood in the room, watching him close the door, but it was too late for them to rush out.

Shen Ye stood outside, motionless.

After a while.

A sound came from inside the door, as if the window had been opened.

—They jumped out.

So he opened the door again, walked in, closed the door, and then re-closed the window that had just been opened.

“I remembered wrong, I didn’t forget anything.”

“Look at my memory, I must have been bombed silly by human cannons on the front lines.”

He muttered in a low voice, took off his shoes, and lay down on the bed.

“You don’t have to bother with them, be careful they don’t list you as a key observation target.”

Big Skeleton whispered.

“You don’t understand, this kind of thing needs to be dealt with from the start, otherwise others will treat you like a pushover, constantly watching you, and you won’t dare to act rashly—and what we’re going to do is bound to attract attention,” Shen Ye said.

“But what if you’re wrong?” Big Skeleton asked.

“What’s there to be afraid of? We’ll go back, change identities, and come back by train,” Shen Ye said.

“Still wearing this vampire skin? Wouldn’t that easily expose you?” Big Skeleton thought it was inappropriate.

“Don’t forget, our Baxter family has several brothers. I’m just the oldest. If anything happens to me, my younger brothers will come for revenge!” Shen Ye said.

“Hmph, you better think carefully. Only three of the Baxter brothers went to the battlefield. The others are either drunkards or good-for-nothings, completely useless,” Big Skeleton subtly reminded him.

“But as long as something happens to me, the other brothers will definitely come for revenge,” Shen Ye said.

—I will personally play the role of the brothers coming for revenge.

“The problem is right there, the other ones are all good-for-nothings,” Big Skeleton said.

“Not at all. All of us brothers are talented, it’s just that the outside world doesn’t know—I will convey this message!” Shen Ye said.

Ding!

The doorbell rang.

“Who is it?” Shen Ye asked, yawning.

“Housekeeping!” A woman’s voice came from outside the door.

“Okay, wait a moment, I’m coming.”

Shen Ye walked to the door, looked through the peephole, and indeed, a zombie beauty stood outside, pushing a cleaning cart.

In the hallway behind the zombie beauty, two lines of words floated quietly.

—The two observers were back.

Shen Ye thought for a moment, whispered a few words to Big Skeleton, then placed his hand on the door.

A faint light flashed, then gathered again:

“You activated ‘Non-Duality Dharma Practice’, imbuing this door with the power of two-world connection.”

“The side closer to you is set as the nightmare world, and the other side of the door is the main world.”

Small characters flashed and disappeared.

“Please come in!”

The door opened.

The zombie beauty pushed the cleaning cart into the room.

The two followers stepped across the threshold.

A sudden change occurred—

They suddenly found that the room in front of them had changed.

All the surrounding sights disappeared.

They were standing in a dark, silent underground passage.

“How—”

“Problem!”

The two observers low-growled, unaware of a huge force behind them.

Boom!

The bone giant, transformed from Big Skeleton, struck a fierce punch, sending the two flying out, crashing through the passage door, and soaring into the sky.

—This was the human camp.

Outside, a chaotic and panicked sound immediately erupted.

wωw＿ тt kǎn＿ C〇

“Alarm!”

“Enemy attack, enemy attack!”

“There are undead, quick, kill them!”

The two undead assassins hadn’t even landed before they were hit by a dense barrage of spells.

One, two.

Dozens of hits.

Their bodies dispersed in mid-air, scattering in front of the camp.

At the end of the passage.

The door slowly closed and disappeared.

In the inn.

Shen Ye lay on the sofa with his legs crossed, chatting idly with the zombie beauty.

“They actually let such a beautiful woman clean rooms? That’s too much,” Shen Ye said.

The zombie beauty giggled, wiping the table as she replied, “Eternal Night City doesn’t keep idlers. If you want to survive, you have to do everything.”

“You don’t sound like a professional cleaner,” Shen Ye said.

“Of course, I’m a bone spear soldier, but unfortunately, I’ve never been able to advance.”

“What’s the problem?”

“I don’t even know how to improve my first skill, and I still haven’t found a direction.”

“Let me take a look for you?”

“What do you want? I don’t have any money.”

“…Just helping out, which also lets me practice my skills.”

“Hmph, trying to covet my skills? Or acquire my profession? Don’t dream about it.” The zombie beauty rolled her eyes at him, speeding up her cleaning.

Suddenly.

A person appeared in the room.

High-level ghoul, leader of the Eternal Night City assassins, Kevin.

As soon as he appeared, he immediately looked at Shen Ye.

Shen Ye lay on the sofa, legs crossed, with the awkwardness of someone who had just been rebuffed by a beauty on his face.

The zombie beauty was cleaning the bedside table.

Everything was normal.

Kevin silently opened the room door, looked up and down the hallway, then came back and walked around the room.

“Brother Kevin? What are you doing here?”

Shen Ye asked in surprise.

“Don’t ask me yet—Mr. Baxter, what are you doing here?” Kevin’s tone carried a hint of murderous intent.

Shen Ye spread his hands, puzzled, and retorted, “Haven’t you been here before? This is the room I booked!”

Kevin ignored him, quickly walked over, grabbed the zombie beauty by the neck, and demanded,

“Tell me, what just happened!”

The zombie beauty shrieked, but then immediately saw the uniform on his body and the two bone daggers at his waist.

“This room called for me to clean, so I came,” the zombie beauty said quickly.

“And then?” Kevin tightened his grip.

The zombie beauty was almost out of breath, almost screaming, “I came in and started cleaning the room, and he was trying to seduce me! He wanted to pry information about my profession from me!”

“—And then you came!”

“Sir, I swear I’m not lying!”

Kevin released his hand.

The zombie beauty fell to the ground, gasping for breath.

“Brother Kevin.”

Shen Ye stood up from the sofa, stretched his neck, his smile becoming as calm as water.

“I can’t even come back to rest? Isn’t this a bit much.”

“Or are you—”

“Do you really think I’m easy to bully?”

Traces of killing intent emanated from him, yet a smile remained on his face.

Kevin slowly looked up at Shen Ye.

A moment of silence.

Shen Ye’s aura steadily rose, as if he could strike at any moment.

Kevin was silent for a moment, his hands on his waist, seemingly ready to draw his daggers at any time. He slowly said,

“Mr. Baxter, since you have been invited to Shadow Manor, you are a distinguished guest of the Count. Please do not do anything that is inconsistent with your status.”

Shen Ye immediately replied, “Our Baxter family has many brothers. Although none of them are particularly accomplished, anyone who maliciously slanders or frames us will pay the price.”

“I swear.”

“Heh, you think your brothers—” Kevin sneered.

Shen Ye interrupted him, “Are all stronger than me. I just have a little power—enough to kill you.”

The atmosphere solidified to an extreme.

The void stilled.

A familiar sensation quietly arose, making Shen Ye slightly taken aback.

It felt like those two placeholder keywords—

The Boy Who Lived, The Little Match Girl.

They, too, started as sprouts and gradually grew into true keywords.

But what was the mechanism?

Had he triggered some key information again?

No!

He was just being tough!

The next second.

A faint light gathered, and a line of small characters quietly appeared in the void:

“You confronted the leader of the thieves in Eternal Night City, thereby gaining a certain reputation.”

“If you continue to act in this manner, there is a certain probability of obtaining a self-created keyword!”

“This is the result of your ‘door’ ability continuously evolving, adapting to local customs, and constantly individualizing.”

“—The vampire family will not let go of those who target their brothers. They will come to Eternal Night City one after another to avenge you.”

“—Of course, every vampire brother of the Baxter family will be played by you.”

“Your seven brothers may have seven, or may not. The following keyword is about to sprout:”

“—Vampire Baby!”
