Myriad Realms Gatekeeper

"You must be our new partner, but you're capable of existing outside of a body too, that's quite a feat."

At this moment, the ground shook even more violently.

"The place is about to collapse! Let's go!" Charlotte immediately went to push the door.

The door was ajar.

As she did so, blood began to stream from the spots where tubes had once been inserted in her.

But such pain seemed to be commonplace for her; there was no expression on her face.

What alarmed Shen Ye even more was—

In the void behind her, countless strange black heads emerged, exuding a chilling and eerie aura, as if they were about to surge into her back at any moment.

"Wait." Shen Ye said subconsciously.

"Why?" Charlotte asked.

"I'll scout ahead to check the situation. Wait for my message."

"What does 'scout ahead' mean?"

Shen Ye didn't speak. He simply passed through the wall right in front of her and flew out to take a look around, instantly understanding the situation.

There were four rooms on this floor.

The one on the far left was the operation room, where several uniformed people had been crushed to death by the collapsed building, but one door was open.

Outside that door was a staircase going down.

The second room was labeled "Human Extreme Pain Endurance Research Lab."

The third room had a sign that read "Processing Room."

—The "Processing Room" was filled with child corpses that hadn't been disposed of or taken away yet.

The fourth room was a utility room, stocked with medicine, uniforms, and other things.

Behind the fourth room was the staircase and the escape route.

At this time.

The door to the "Processing Room" had fallen.

If Charlotte walked out, intending to head for the staircase and the escape route, she would surely see the wide-open door of the "Processing Room."

She would see the bodies of children scattered all over the floor.

All of them were friends she had just made—these children hadn't returned to their parents but had died in the testing.

What would happen then?

What would happen when Charlotte couldn't bear the sight of this calamity?

Shen Ye couldn't help but think of those black heads behind her—

Were they nascent personalities?

No...

He couldn't allow those personalities to be born.

"You have to catch me."

Shen Ye suddenly understood the meaning of these words.

He passed through the thick wall and reappeared in front of Charlotte, quickly saying:

"Once outside, immediately head towards the left."

"Wow, you can go through walls! But why should we head left?" Charlotte asked curiously.

"There are ghosts on the right side, ghosts that come from underground, they're destroying this place."

"Really?"

"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes, it's terrifying."

Shen Ye sank into the ground and then suddenly popped up again, making a scary face.

Charlotte believed him.

After all, this partner could go through walls and the earth, which was quite impressive.

"...Alright, let's go left!"

She pushed the door open and didn't even dare to glance towards the right, immediately sprinting down the corridor to the left.

"The door is closed!"

"Kick it open!"

"Isn't that bad? The teachers will whip us."

"Survival is most important, the teachers will understand, and they will praise your bravery!"

"Really?"

"Yes!"

Thud—

The door was kicked open.

"Teacher Zhang! Teacher Liu!" Charlotte screamed upon seeing the corpses.

Shen Ye remained silent.

A five-year-old girl is like a blank slate.

—Seeing bodies that had died in a natural disaster was one thing.

But she must not be allowed to see the children who had been killed by the great malice of humanity.

That's when real trouble would start!

"Charlotte, listen to me, many people have been killed by ghosts, and they can disguise themselves as humans," Shen Ye said.

"You know?"

"I flew out and saw it!" Shen Ye answered.

"What should we do?"

"...Can you fight?"

"No!"

"I'll teach you a move, watch closely—wait, there's a spear! Charlotte, you take the spear first, then I'll teach you a move."

Charlotte looked at the handgun on the table with an expression full of resistance.

"The teachers said we should never touch guns."

"Otherwise, we'll have to endure 3 days of testing in a row, and without any food."

"I dare not."

With no other choice, Shen Ye demonstrated the "Frost Bite" Leg Techniques in mid-air, then asked:

"Did you see it clearly?"

Charlotte thought for a moment and then replicated the Leg Techniques just like him. Continue your journey at My Virtual Library Empire

—Just without the Frost.

That was good enough!

After all, she wasn't employed yet!

Charlotte shook her head and said, "I feel that my kick is nowhere as good as yours. By the way, what's your name?"

"Baxter."

"Baxter? Let's make a deal; if there's a fight, I'll transfer control of my body to you."

"To me?"

"Yes, you have to 'catch' me—just make sure you don't let anyone else take over. Others don't know how to fight."

Shen Ye was taken aback for a moment, then quickly caught on.

So "catch me" meant this!!!
