Gatekeeper Of All Realms Chapter 42

Could it be…

Shen Ye held his breath, his fingers trembling as he clicked on the message.

The message contained a video.

He eagerly clicked on the video.

In front of the shaking camera, a girl in a white dress stood by a railing.

The bright moonlight illuminated her graceful figure, but she never looked back, only showing her back to the camera.

The night was vast, and the cold moon boundless.

She leaned on the railing, gazing at the shimmering, boundless river.

The frosty moonlight accentuated her delicate figure, the wind rustled her long hair, and she looked like a divine fairy descended to the mortal world.

Suddenly.

A male voice rang out:

“Song Qingyun, what kind of boyfriend do you hope to find in the future?”

The girl still didn’t turn back. Cupping her chin, she gazed at the moon over the river in the distance, and said in a lazy tone:

“I’ve never thought about that question.”

Another male voice chimed in:

“You can think about it now, after all, you’re almost an adult—I don’t know how many talented young men are looking forward to it.”

The speaker seemed to have considerable prestige.

From then on, many people began to persuade the girl to talk about her preference for a partner.

Apparently, unable to resist the coaxing of the crowd, the girl smoothed her wind-tousled hair, turned slightly, and looked towards the camera.

Her eyes were like a dazzling sea of stars, her eyebrows like paintings. Her skin was fairer than snow, and her smile carried an air of mischievous cleverness and elegance.

The moon hung low over the river, and she proudly tilted her chin, letting the boundless river night and moon illuminate her figure, all revealed to the camera.

Such peerless beauty, yet she was utterly unaware, and even indifferent, as if—

She disdained to be grouped with other beauties.

She parted her red lips, her voice soft, gentle, and melodious:

“I remember once when I was a child, during the New Year, I went to the Shen family’s house.”

“My sister and I were chased by a very fierce dog, and at that time, only Shen Ye brother stood out to block that dog.”

“Shen Ye brother is very kind, I’ve always remembered him.”

“If I were to find a boyfriend—”

“I hope he’s like him.”

The screen went blank.

The video was completely dark.

After a while, the sound of the wind, the moonlight, and all the laughter disappeared.

The person filming the video seemed to have entered a quiet space.

The camera was aimed at the floor.

A male voice rang out: “Shen Ye… who is he?”

Another male voice let out a series of mocking laughs: “I’ve already found out, that kid is very ordinary, he won’t have any more interaction with her.”

“Can you figure out Song Qingyun’s feelings? What if she goes to him?” another male voice asked.

There was a moment of silence.

Then, the authoritative male voice from before suddenly spoke up:

“You guys figure this out, I don’t want to see that Shen Ye appear in front of Qingyun.”

The others responded one after another:

“Don’t worry, it’s a small matter.”

“This kind of thing doesn’t even require us to personally intervene.”

“Find someone to do it, like an accident.”

“It’s simple…”

“It’s just a matter of money.”

The authoritative male voice said, “Hmm, find someone to play with him, just to teach him a small lesson.”

The screen went dark again.

The video ended.

Shen Ye closed his eyes.

He had imagined countless scenarios, at one point thinking that others were targeting the Shen family, or wanted to strike at his parents by killing him, or that his previous self had inadvertently learned some secret.

Even—

He thought someone knew there was a soul from another world hidden in this body, and so they came to eradicate him.

But he had never imagined that the truth would be like this.

—So absurd.

He silently stood up, turned and walked out of the room, descending the still-intact staircase.

The walls were covered with Corpses.

The corridor was filled with Corpses.

The ceiling was also covered with bloody Corpses.

All the Corpses here were looking at him.

Not only that, even the Corpses on the corridor walls all turned to look at him.

“You all… seem to have something to say to me?”

Shen Ye said.

A girl in a hotel uniform said, “Thank you for your effort in killing that devil-like Man.”

“Yes,” a Man in a police uniform said, “we were no match for him, he killed us all. Only you avenged us.”

The other Corpses echoed in agreement.

Shen Ye shook his head, feeling as if he couldn’t speak.

What the heck.

That guy was clearly chasing me.

I dragged you all into this.

And what was that shadow just now?

At this moment, a Corpse finally asked the question buried in his heart:

“I really want to know, why did this devil-like Man kill us?”

Shen Ye opened his mouth, but couldn’t speak, only feeling immense frustration in his heart.

Xiao Mengyu was too fast.

He couldn’t keep up with her speed at all.

Big Skeleton had to protect him, so it had to give up the chase.

He was too weak…

Damn it.

He clenched his fists.

Damn it!!!

He suddenly raised his eyes and said earnestly:

“Everyone, if possible, I hope you can reincarnate in a different place.”

“I hope that in other worlds, you can live with dignity.”

“Instead of dying helplessly, humiliated, and full of attachment like this, leaving your loved ones in pain.”

“—All of you, go.”

“Please don’t worry anymore, and don’t cling to anything here.”

“One day in the future, when I have enough strength to investigate everything and find the mastermind—”

“I will kill him.”

“I swear I will do this!”

The Corpses present listened quietly to his vow, then whispered to each other, quickly spreading the news to the other Corpses.

Before long.

All the Corpses in the entire hotel knew about it.

—That boy swore to take revenge.

“Thank you, sir…”

“If there’s a chance, please avenge us, but first you must live.”

“May you live a long and healthy life, free from illness and disaster.”

“We hope you gain even greater power to take down the person behind this.”

“We will bless you from hell.”

“You must live well.”

“…”

Every Corpse was thanking him, blessing him.

He didn’t react at all, just let his gaze sweep over the Corpses, as if listening intently.

Big Skeleton whispered, “The spell holding them has ended, and they have returned to the underworld.”

Shen Ye still didn’t listen.

—Only that one sentence echoed in his ears:

“Find someone to play with him…”

Play.

He walked all the way to the hotel lobby and stopped.

The real Shen Ye died a few days ago.

Chen Haoyu died.

Luo Feichuan died.

Tens of thousands of people in this entire neighborhood died—

Each person had parents, teachers, friends, and even siblings and children.

They should have had their own lives.

But they all died.

After death, their Corpses were bound here, unable to move, subjected to the manipulation of blood magic.

Is this just playing around?

Is this just—

A small lesson?

It was as if something had been ignited in his heart.

But he just pursed his lips tightly, letting his face turn pale and stern.

—There was still an unknown enemy nearby, and he still needed to remain calm.

Suddenly.

A female voice came from afar:

“You’re still here.”

Xiao Mengyu gently landed in the lobby.

“What was that shadow?” Shen Ye asked.

“It got away—its strength was beyond imagination, definitely not human. I suspect it’s related to ‘Disaster’. Once it’s angered, the consequences would be unimaginable.”

Xiao Mengyu said.

“Disaster?” Shen Ye repeated.

“Yes—I just sensed an abnormal force field, perhaps it was accidentally leaked by him,” Xiao Mengyu said.

Shen Ye nodded silently.

He had witnessed ‘Anomalies’.

‘Disasters’ were said to be even beyond ‘Anomalies’, capable of destroying a city at will.

So, Xiao Mengyu not pursuing it was the wisest choice.

—This girl was also considerate; even with Big Skeleton standing beside him, she didn’t ask anything.

Xiao Mengyu sheathed her sword and bowed slightly to Shen Ye:

“Your power stayed with me, giving me many insights. Now I’ll send you back, and then I’ll find a safe place to start improving my strength.”

Shen Ye glanced at her.

The “Blessed One” tag above her head would last for a while longer.

He hoped she could break through her current strength.

But before that—

“I watched the video you sent, but some things are still unclear,” Shen Ye said.

—He had risked his life to come here precisely for this matter.

Xiao Mengyu was silent for a moment, then whispered:

“I’ve already investigated the matter, but it’s very complicated, and I suggest you don’t ask too many questions.”

“Who are those people?” Shen Ye asked directly.

“You should leave quickly. I won’t tell anyone you were here,” Xiao Mengyu said.

“Who are they?” Shen Ye insisted.

“Children of several prominent families, but I couldn’t find out anything more specific,” Xiao Mengyu reluctantly said.

“I remember you were also from a noble family,” Shen Ye said.

“Not just me, in fact, you are also from a noble family—but our families are still far inferior to theirs.”

Xiao Mengyu continued calmly, “I’ve already exposed this matter, and everyone who died in this entire block today died because of their actions.”

“My brother also died this way.”

“This matter must have a resolution.”

“What kind of outcome? Will they be brought to justice? Or, will they be directly executed?” Shen Ye asked.

“No…”

Xiao Mengyu looked at him, sighing inwardly, and said:

“Perhaps after a long period of time, they will be punished.”

“Punishment?” Shen Ye repeated.

“A scolding, a prohibition from going out, things like that, and then perhaps some apologies to you and our Luo family.”

As Xiao Mengyu spoke, she couldn’t help but shake her head.

“That’s a lie,” Shen Ye said expressionlessly, “Since they made a move but failed to kill me, and accidentally killed your brother, they will now try every means to eliminate me and you, to prevent future troubles and prevent us from seeking revenge later.”

Xiao Mengyu said, “But… they are the strongest families in the entire world, and Song Qingyun is the focus of everyone’s pursuit.”

She lowered her head.

“I alone…”

“Even our Luo family is nothing more than an ant under the bright moon compared to them.”

Shen Ye said, “So you’re likely to be hunted down by those noble family offspring, and no one can help you.”

“This is the price I pay for seeking the truth,” Xiao Mengyu said.

She paused, then continued:

“Actually, we should be grateful that we happened to encounter an Assassin like ‘Skinner’ this time. He cared more about his own feelings than the mission.”

“Otherwise, if any other Assassin of the same level had come, they would never have told us the truth.”

“We probably would never have known the truth.”

“The entire Assassin team is dead, which I think is enough to comfort my brother’s spirit in heaven.”

“Goodbye.”

Xiao Mengyu finished speaking in one breath, bowed slightly to Shen Ye, as if afraid to look at his face, and turned to leave.

Silence permeated the surroundings.

She walked out step by step.

Shen Ye suddenly spoke: “If you had the power to slaughter all those noble family offspring… would you do it?”

Xiao Mengyu lowered her head, her shoulders trembling slightly, and said coldly:

“Don’t joke around, their families are incredibly powerful, the very foundation of human civilization. If I were to do anything, my family could be—”

“Enough of that. I’m just asking, are you content?” Shen Ye interrupted her.

Buzz—

The longsword vibrated incessantly.

She could no longer suppress it. A desperate and angry wail burst from her mouth, and she drew her longsword, slashing towards the street outside.

Rumble!

The entire street was cut open by her, and the buildings opposite slowly collapsed.

The girl wiped away her tears with her head down, holding her longsword, and stumbled a few steps before running out.

She left.

In the building filled with Corpses, only Shen Ye remained. <a href="https://m.uukanshu.net" target="_blank">https://m.uukanshu.net</a>

He stood for a while, then suddenly stretched out with a big yawn, a bright smile on his face:

“Things are over, we should go back.”

“How do you plan to handle this?” Big Skeleton asked with interest.

“I thought someone had a deep-seated hatred for me, but it turns out they were just playing around, so there’s nothing to think about,” Shen Ye said with a smile.

“I don’t believe it,” Big Skeleton said.

“As a person, happiness is the most important thing. Put other matters aside and don’t bother with them,” Shen Ye said.

He waved his hand around:

“Hey, whoever you are, if you don’t come out now, I’m leaving!”

No response.

Shen Ye straddled his Ghostfire motorcycle, put on his helmet, and prepared to leave.

“I don’t believe what you just said,” Big Skeleton said.

“You don’t understand us humans. We humans believe that living is already very difficult, so we must be happy,” Shen Ye said, spreading his hands.

“But that doesn’t mean we should let others slaughter us,” Big Skeleton said in a tone of disappointment.

“This is our pursuit as human beings. I will tirelessly seek this happiness, striving to fill this life with joy,” Shen Ye said.

“How will you pursue it?” Big Skeleton sensed something.

“Isn’t it simple—they want to play, so let’s play—until I kill them one by one, to commemorate the souls of all the innocent victims today, and incidentally avenge myself—at that time, my heart will be filled with joy, and I’ll even feel that this life was not lived in vain.” Shen Ye said.

“I believe that,” Big Skeleton said, delighted.

It transformed into a ball of Ghostfire and sank into Shen Ye’s ring.

The Ghostfire motorcycle roared to life, charging out of the building and speeding down the street.
