Chapter 317 Sleeping Beauty and the Substitute
There was silence in the room.
The wind and snow were howling outside the room.
Through a glass window, the Demon of Fear slowly spoke: "You don't even know what kind of life we have experienced, and you just want to let Lanxi and Chatelet continue to exist."
"They gave up on themselves a long time ago."
"I should have destroyed them in this duel so that they would not suffer so much."
Shen Ye shook his head and said, "She just ate cakes and chocolates that she had never eaten before. She is sleeping soundly now. She will go to see her parents tomorrow."
"——I think she is full of longing, not pain."
The Demon of Fear seemed to remember something, and suddenly burst into hysterical laughter.
She faced Shen Ye and made a magic seal.
Suddenly small words appeared in the void: "The part of your 'door' ability that belongs to the entry is cursed."
Shen Ye's heart trembled.
The Demon of Fear is said to have the ability to deal with his own ability to obtain entries.
It seems to be true!
"Why don't you just attack me?" Shen Ye asked.
"Nonsense, Chatelet gave you the opportunity to pretend to be one of us. If not, you would have died!" said the Demon of Fear.
It stepped back and immediately disappeared without a trace.
Only its voice still echoes in the darkness:
"We'll see--"
"Also, guess why you couldn't leave the fight between us and return to your world?"
"My words are here."
"——If you live until the next time we meet, you will kneel before me."
The sound fades away.
Shen Ye was left alone in front of the window.
He was stunned for a while.
yes.
Why couldn't you leave?
Jiuxiang was the strongest being in the past era, and it was not surprising to do anything he did.
But--
Why is everything so unsettling?
Shen Ye looked back at the clock on the wall of the room.
It is now eleven twenty-eight at night.
It's almost twelve o'clock.
no.
Before twelve o'clock, make preparations early.
for example--
Fight back.
Shen Ye stood in front of the window sill, looking at the wind and snow outside.
There is no battle where one only defends without counterattacking.
——But I know too little about the Demon of Fear.
Regarding intelligence, there is only one "Hanged Man's motto", which can only predict things about death.
It's really not enough.
……etc.
Regarding prediction, I seem to have another method.
That is the power of mirror reversal from the "Unborn Lord", and it is the result of reversing everything about yourself.
Seriously speaking, existing in the mirror is just an incidental power of "Inanimate Lord".
The most primitive power of this profession is actually——
"You and everything are reversed."
Shen Ye stared at the window glass, looked at his own shadow on the glass, and said softly:
"Me in the mirror."
He walked towards the window, and he walked towards him in the window.
Body replacement.
Shen Ye moved his hands and feet at will, feeling that everything was normal.
But in fact everything is reversed.
for example--
"Door."
Following Shen Ye's low call, a door rose up in the void.
This is a white door.
——It can also predict dangerous things that are about to happen!
Thoughts surged through Shen Ye's heart.
Nine Phases spans billions of worlds, and I don’t know how many powerful people I have seen, and I have seen countless skills.
If you deal with it with common sense.
That's bound to cause problems.
Just go crazy.
"Fusion - all the predictive powers in me."
He spoke.
A pure golden light flashed.
"You activated the power of the golden entry 'Vampire Baby'."
"The Hanged Man's Proverbs are about to merge with your Reversal Gate."
"The power of divination and prediction is extremely rare."
“Given that the power of the Reversal Gate far exceeds that of the Hanged Man’s Proverbs, it will take a dominant position in the current super evolution and reverse the prophecy.”
"Wait ten seconds for the super evolution to end."
Shen Ye was surprised.
Originally, both the white door and the Hanged Man's motto predicted a major death event for oneself.
It will be reversed after fusion.
So what does it predict?
Is it a non-death incident?
Just as I was thinking about it, ten seconds had passed.
A glimmer of light quickly emerged:
"Congratulations."
"The power of the Reversal Gate has been upgraded and turned into the 'Hanged Man's Gate'."
"Description: No matter which body you use, you can always check the enemy's daily information for the next day."
"Conditions of use: Mirrors must be used as a medium to perform this ability."
Shen Ye was quite dumbfounded as he read this line of explanation.
Predicting one's own affairs has turned into predicting the enemy.
Major fatalities.
Inverted into everyday information.
That's good enough.
But...does it work?
Chen Ye moved his neck and whispered: "Door."
On the windowpane in front of him, small luminous characters gradually appeared, covering the wind and snow outside the window:
"The Federation for Human Evolution begins an investigation into the crash of the Flying Fortress."
"The investigation team will be established in thirteen minutes."
"At 3:59 in the morning, the investigation team was divided into three groups."
"At 4:41 in the morning, the strongest group will arrive in the Frost Snow Forest to investigate the nuclear bombing incident."
"At 5:07 in the morning, the wreckage of the Flying Fortress was discovered, and a tedious and time-consuming investigation is about to begin."
"The car electrocution and burning incident in Luoying Town has not attracted the attention of all parties for the time being."
"also."
“The real world is completely integrated into the current world of memory.”
"The nightmare world and the ground part of the death planet become a memory world where the nine phases are embodied, until its personality is determined."
Shen Ye was shocked.
The real world has been completely changed.
Even the nightmare world is like this.
...Everything has become what it was in the past era?
No wonder the Demon of Fear said that in the end.
Judging from its tone, the matter is not over yet.
what happens?
Shen Yelai thought about it for a while and had no clue, so he simply turned to focus on the matter in front of him.
“Keep showing up everyday.”
He spoke.
All small characters disappeared, and new luminous small characters appeared:
"At nine o'clock in the morning, investigators arrived in Luoying Town and began to investigate the spontaneous car combustion incident and review the town street surveillance video."
"At 10:03, Lanxi will be officially wanted."
"At 12:15, Lanxi was arrested in Room 510, Building 12, Area B, Gaia Technology Center."
"The manhunt is over."
"At fifteen o'clock sharp, the Human Evolution Federation has made a decision that the most advanced breakthrough research on human potential will be tested on Lanxi, starting in three days."
No new fine print appears at the end.
From the looks of it, this is pretty much the enemy's routine throughout the day.
Shen Ye stared at the lines of small words and began to think about how to break the situation.
The key to the problem now is——
Chatelet is still too young and has not even entered the first level of the Dharma Realm.
Although he can appear for a few seconds, if he encounters a large-scale pursuit, it will not be enough to see him.
Is there any way I can help her?
Just as I was thinking about it, a new line of small words appeared:
"Before your 'Hanged Man's Gate' evolves, you cannot obtain information about enemies in the universe."
...Is there another planet in the universe coming to cause trouble?
If you bump into Jiuxiang head on, isn't it looking for death?
But it’s hard to say——
The universe is extremely vast, maybe there are other masters above the ninth level?
Tsk.
Let’s find a way to keep Chatelet first.
What to do...
Click.
There was a slight sound on the wall.
Shen Ye looked up.
clock.
It's twelve o'clock.
...Twelve o'clock!
An idea suddenly appeared in Shen Ye's mind.
yes!
Why not——
Why not?
He walked to the bedside, looked at the sleeping little girl, and thought about it in his mind.
"Châtelet...don't blame me..."
"It's really time to grow up."
His figure coincides with that of the little girl.
The next moment.
The little girl pressed on the mattress behind her.
A door suddenly appeared.
She opened the door and fell right into it.
Yes.
A new day has arrived.
You can enter another world again and obtain new entries.
However, it was Shen Ye and Chatelet who opened the door at this moment.
After all, she is still a little girl.
Then the entry obtained by opening the door this time should belong to Chatelet!
As for the threat of the Demon of Fear, it actually doesn't matter.
It claims to enable one to "never gain a powerful 'name' again."
But Châtelet is now unable to achieve a particularly high evaluation and gain such a powerful ‘name’.
——As long as she can obtain a normal ‘name’, her survival rate will be improved!
The little girl pushed the door open and walked in while making magic seals with both hands.
Dharma Appearance·Guanghan Palace!
Different from before, the blood moon in the sky felt Shen Ye's will, became gentle and weak, and even became covered with a layer of frosty white moonlight again.
All of a sudden.
A line of small luminous characters appeared in the void——
"We will meet under the moon at Yaotai!"
But the little girl completely disappeared and appeared directly in the Dharma image.
Synchronization is over!
"Big Skeleton, Four Kings, take care of her."
Shen Ye said.
In the Dharma.
The little girl was lying on the ground, still sleeping.
The four kings had already hurried into the grove and started cutting down trees to make a big bed.
The big skeleton stood beside the little girl and said thoughtfully:
"I understand, Shen Ye."
"What?" Shen Ye asked.
"You gave her the opportunity to enter another world. This is to make the legal world recognize her." The big skeleton said.
"That's right." Shen Ye admitted.
"How did you come up with this move?" The big skeleton sighed.
"Why don't you think about it?" Shen Ye said.
——It’s just a professional fight.
In the previous life, there was a complete industrial chain.
But whether it can be done or not depends on how the entries are recognized after I go back tonight.
The big skull seemed a little shocked and couldn't help but change the topic:
"Be careful. The world cemetery has been destroyed. Now your 'door' is connected to a brand new unknown world. I don't know if it is dangerous or not."
"The bigger the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish." Shen Ye said.
He began to look at his surroundings.
This seems to be an extremely narrow passage.
The ground is dry.
The walls on both sides of the passage were lit with blazing torches.
This scene is surprisingly familiar.
Especially the format of the torch made Shen Ye have an idea in his mind.
"Hey, look, does that torch look familiar?"
Shen Ye asked the big skeleton.
"It's like a torch in a tomb." The big skeleton commented.
Shen Ye moved his body.
He left the memory world of Jiuxiang.
Now my body is solid.
But--
Is this a big tomb?
A cold air lingered in the void, making Shen Ye feel uneasy.
It seems a little weird here.
He walked back, opened the door, and placed an icy mirror in the image.
Through the door, he looked at himself in the mirror.
The glimmer of light emerged and gathered into words:
"You activated the third level of the Dharma Realm's 'Me in the Mirror'."
"Currently, you have been assigned a mirror. After your death, you can be resurrected from the mirror and return to reality."
That’s it!
Make a resurrection point first to give yourself peace of mind.
After doing all this, Shen Ye closed the door and let it disappear together with the Dharma image.
He strode forward.
"Hey, your 'door' is connected to the Great Tomb? The Great Tomb is not another planet." The big skeleton said.
"My 'Gate' ability will link to the nearest world. I also linked to the nightmare world at the beginning, but now -"
As Shen Ye was talking, he suddenly stopped.
They had been walking for a while.
A stone door appeared in front of the passage, with a few lines of small words carved on it.
But Shen Ye had never seen these words before.
"This is the common text of the lawful camp in the universe in ancient times. It is recorded in the Book of the Dead. However, in the nightmare world, no one has used this type of text for tens of thousands of years."
said the big skeleton.
"What is the lawful camp?" Shen Ye asked.
"When you kill people and exterminate your clan, you must find a high-sounding reason." Big Skeleton said.
"What about being unruly?" Shen Ye asked again.
"I accidentally killed you when I was crossing the road just now. Fortunately, my clothes were not stained and I can go to the dance." The big skeleton said.
"Are there any other camps?" Shen Ye asked.
"In addition to lawful and evil, there are also neutral camps."
"The existence of these camps has something similar to the 1,000 hydrogen bombs on your body——"
The big skeleton continued:
"He doesn't care if you kill someone. If you kill him, he will die with you."
"I understand, only those who can die together can be qualified to be in the neutral camp." Shen Ye snapped his fingers.
"Perfect marks for understanding."
The big skeleton said, took out a nightmare crystal, poured the universal text language into it, and then handed it to Shen Ye.
Shen Ye crushed it.
There was a mist.
Soon, he understood the words on the stone door:
"Evening Star."
"The only safe place to gather."
"You can only enter if you have reached at least the third level of the Dharma Realm." "The only currency in circulation in this camp is gold, and no other currencies are accepted (there are exchange points for various currencies in this camp)."
I am at the fourth level of the Dharma Realm.
Shen Ye exhaled and felt a little lucky.
"Look, you can enter the third level of the Dharma Realm," he said.
"Nonsense, in fact, strictly speaking, the sixth level of the Dharma Realm is considered a master. You have the fourth level and can already strengthen the magic spirit battle. You are not weak." The big skeleton said.
"I always feel that I am weak." Shen Ye truthfully stated his thoughts.
"Because you have been in contact with the top powerhouses - Xu Xingke, Mojiahu, and Jiuxiang. If any of them are placed in the universe, they are all existences that can shake a star field with just a stamp of their feet." The big skeleton said .
"It should shock the entire universe." Shen Ye corrected.
"Yes." The big skeleton said.
Speaking of which——
The Demon of Fear used the art of destiny to force himself to be unable to contact the top strong men.
In fact, I have always wanted to find an opportunity to thank it for this matter.
Staying with those masters for a long time is very stressful, right?
I actually long to communicate more with peers.
Shen Ye thought as he pushed open the stone door.
A square of about two hundred square meters came into view.
Not far away.
Several bloody corpses lay on the ground.
"Sorry, we haven't had time to clean up here yet."
A maid hurried over and cast a spell to put the body away.
This was followed by another cleaning technique.
The ground becomes clean.
"Welcome!"
The maid bowed.
Shen Ye looked around.
In the center of the square is a small supply center.
There are shops selling various supplies, restaurants, currency exchange booths and a fountain.
and emergency aid stations.
This is normal.
The strange thing is that almost everyone is sitting on the edge of the square, looking out.
It was dark outside.
"Is this your first time arriving at Evening Star?" the maid asked.
"Yes, it's my first time here." Shen Ye said.
"Introducing Duixing's situation requires paying thirty kilograms of gold." the maid said.
Shen Ye was a little surprised and couldn't help but ask:
"The prices here are so high?"
"Introduction is a very expensive service, only lower than the price of first aid and evacuation." The maid glanced at him and whispered.
Shen Ye nodded slightly.
——This is already a piece of information with good intentions.
Introduction, first aid, evacuation.
On Evening Star, all three are the most expensive.
Facing the other party's expectant eyes, Shen Ye touched the ring and handed it over with a heavy piece of gold in his arms.
The maid put the gold into the storage bracelet and said happily: "You will not regret it."
"I'm all ears," Shen Ye said.
The maid waved her hand and placed a sound insulation barrier around the two of them, and then said:
"The Evening Star orbits a giant planet called The End and is its satellite."
"Over the endless years, eras have changed several times. The only thing that remains unchanged is this 'end'. It exists forever and is not afraid of any disaster."
"The End is an extremely dangerous planet."
"It is divided into three zones, the calm zone, the crazy zone and the abyss zone."
"The Evening Star orbits the 'End' periodically. When it reaches the calm area, professionals can go fishing or go exploring;"
Shen Ye pointed at the people sitting on the edge of the square and interjected: "Are they fishing?"
"Yes."
The maid continued to explain: "When the Evening Star reaches the top of the Crazy Zone, generally speaking, you can only fish, because only a few people can come back alive from the Crazy Zone every hundred years."
"Finally, there's the abyss."
"When Evening Star arrives in the Abyss, everyone must return to their own world. If you have to take refuge on Evening Star, you must pay a large sum of money."
"Why?" Shen Ye asked.
"In the long known history, no one has ever been able to leave the abyss alive." The maid said.
"Not even fishing?"
"Let alone fishing, even if you stand on the Evening Star, you will definitely be pulled down and never come back."
"——This introduction is indeed worth it. I now want to buy the kind of equipment they use for fishing." Shen Ye said.
"It is recommended that you don't fish for too long this time." The maid said.
Shen Ye said in surprise: "Could it be——"
"You reacted very quickly. We are indeed about to reach the sky above the abyss. Only those who purchase the 'Introduction' will get this information for free." The maid smiled.
Shen Ye looked at the fishing professionals.
There hasn't been much movement from them yet.
Don’t everyone know?
"The 'End' changes, so it's impossible to figure out its rules. Only the most powerful prophecy ability can get a glimpse of it." The maid said.
"Then they are bound to die?" Shen Ye asked.
"No, they will watch the actions of us attendants. If we start to take refuge, they will immediately start running away." The maid said.
"About how long?" Shen Ye asked.
"With the last twenty-nine minutes left, will you purchase asylum services or return to your own world?"
"How long will it take to evacuate?" Shen Ye asked.
"The time is different each time. This time it takes about thirteen hours." The maid said.
Thirteen hours.
Too long.
When he returns to Jiuxiang's memory world, the other party will already be ready to catch the turtle in the jar.
Then seize the last twenty minutes and try fishing first.
——In this way, the evaluation of the entry will be higher.
Shen Ye spent money to buy a fishing rod, walked along the square and sat down on the edge where there were few people.
He looked at the fishing rod in his hand.
"Space Folding Detector."
"Space equipment (green level)."
"Description: Tie your partner to the detector, release the rope, and let it travel across a long distance and directly reach the ground of the planet to find valuable things for you."
It's said to be a fishing rod, but actually——
It’s true!
Chen Ye looked around.
There are many fishing friends.
Everyone moved small mats, or just made a big sofa, or just sat on the edge of the square with their legs hanging in the air.
Everyone has a fishing rod in their hand.
Not far away.
A red-haired girl is taking up the thread.
A monkey hanging from the end of a fishing rod sped through the dark void and returned to Evening Star Square, empty-handed.
"I saw a very powerful monster, so I quickly gave you a signal halfway."
said the monkey.
——This is a magical spirit.
"Well, it doesn't matter. Come back next time. Let's go get something to eat first." The red-haired girl said.
The girl left with the magic spirit.
Shen Ye stood there and thought for a while.
The big skeleton suddenly said:
"No problem, let me go. I can identify many treasures."
"That monkey just now was at the fifth level of the Dharma Realm and was stronger than you. He retreated midway." Shen Ye said.
There was a movement in the Dharma image.
Shen Ye turned his attention and saw the big skeleton and the four kings standing in a row, full of aura.
The big skeleton said: "The four kings said that they have developed a fusion technique, which is guaranteed to increase my strength by two levels. In that case, wouldn't going to the planet to retrieve treasures be like searching for treasures?"
Is this really happening?
Shen Ye looked at the four kings.
The four kings nodded together and began to release spells at the same time.
One King shouted: "I will form the head!"
He flew into the air, and his body changed and turned into his head.
The second king shouted: "I will form the breasts!"
The three kings shouted: "I will form the arms!"
The Four Kings also shouted: "I will form the legs!"
They combined for a while and really formed a giant.
I saw them shouting to the big skeleton in unison: "It's just you!"
The big skeleton shouted: "Okay! I will form it -"
etc.
It took a few steps back and looked at the giant carefully.
That's not right.
You are all finished.
——What parts should I make up?
Chen Ye couldn't help but interject: "Stupid, you can form weapons! Do you understand?"
The big skeleton breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately jumped up and turned into a weapon.
"Wait a minute!" Shen Ye said again.
"What?" asked the big skeleton.
"Your technique is still immature and you haven't thought about the parts of the combination at all. I have a new idea." Shen Ye said.
"What's the idea?"
"It's very simple. You hold the fishing rod and I'll go down."
"What!"
After a few minutes.
The big skeleton squatted on the edge of the square and carefully lowered the rope on the fishing rod.
Shen Ye hung on the rope.
The rope passed through the folded space and quickly fell towards the planet.
Shen Ye waited for a while longer.
When the fishing line was completely out of Duixing's sight, he casually formed a square ice mirror, passed it through with a hook, and tied it to the end of the fishing line.
"Me in the mirror."
The magic moves.
His whole body immediately hid in the mirror.
As a result, there is nothing alive on the fishing line, just a square piece of ice.
There shouldn't be any monsters interested in a square ice cube.
A moment.
The rope landed on a planet called The End.
The surface of the planet is deserted.
The gray ground was littered with various grotesque skeletons.
Look around.
No buildings of any significance are visible.
——This is the crazy zone.
The square ice cube fell carefully, but finally fell to the ground with a "thud".
There was no movement.
There are no monsters either.
Shen Ye's head appeared in the square ice cube.
He looked around curiously.
"Hello!"
"Is there anyone?"
The ground felt loose.
soon.
A huge eye appeared from the soil, turned back and forth, and then stared at the square ice cube.
Shen Ye looked at each other.
I saw the bright red entry "???????" appearing above the other party's head.
Mythical entries!
And it’s completely unrecognizable!
"Nice to meet you, but I have something else to do. Let's talk next time."
Shen Ye said with a smile.
Those eyes showed sarcasm.
A dull voice quickly sounded from the soil:
"You don't think you can escape, do you?"
"Escape? That doesn't exist. I'm called offline - look at my avatar. When it changes, it means I'm offline."
Before he finished speaking, Shen Ye's head suddenly disappeared from the square ice cube.
Those eyes were staring at the ice cube.
Wow!
The ice cracked.
But it was empty inside.
"Offline..."
A voice full of doubts came from the dirt.
at the same time.
The big skeleton squatting on the edge of the square threw the fishing rod down, turned around and ran away.
It crossed the entire square, came to the stone door and pushed hard.
Outside the stone gate.
corridor.
Shen Ye is already standing here.
"It's too dangerous, we have to leave quickly." Shen Ye said.
"good."
The two walked along the tunnel to the end.
"——A lot of monsters?"
"Only saw one."
"Strong?"
"It's super strong, I don't have the confidence to compete with it at all."
"Oh my god, this is the crazy zone, and there is also the abyss zone."
"right."
Push the door.
Return to the hotel in the town.
Shen Ye gently placed the little girl on the bed, and then looked into the void.
As expected, lines of dimly lit characters have appeared:
"You and Chatelet have obtained the entries."
"Due to the enemy's curse, one of the two of you will be affected. Please decide who is affected."
"The current curse will work three times in total."
Shen Ye breathed a sigh of relief.
No matter how powerful the Demon of Fear is, he can only curse three times when faced with the future power of the "Gate".
It’s okay if I do it three times!
"Let the curse affect my entries, not Chatelet."
he said.
All glimmers of light are gone.
New small words quickly appeared:
"This time the door opens, Chatelet has received an evaluation entry:"
"sleeping Beauty."
"Green entry (excellent)."
"Description: Sleep will make your attributes grow naturally, and the value increased every hour is directly proportional to your own talent."
"Comment: The innocent and lovely beautiful little girl needs to sleep more so that she can grow taller."
"——Going to bed early is good for your health."
Shen Ye nodded slightly.
good.
At least it adds attributes.
Not to mention Chatelet's talent, this entry will allow her to improve quickly.
What about yourself?
Another glimmer of light emerged:
"This time you opened the door, you got a curse entry:"
"Despicable reliever."
"Passive black entry (negative)."
"Description: As long as the entry exists, you will be despised, cursed, and put in small shoes by the people around you."
"Evaluation: While everyone was bravely exploring the Star of the End and searching for treasures, you went offline directly."
"——You are so mean."
Shen Ye was speechless for a while.
very good.
This is what curse means, right?
Demon of fear, you are the real bitch.
"Swallow."
Shen Ye said.
"Swallowing will cause all attributes to lose 3 points."
"Stop talking and devour it for me!"
