Myriad Realms Gatekeeper

Chapter 8: Chapter 6 This is so frustrating!_2

At that moment, a boy from class three came over to look for her, and she started chatting and laughing with him.

Zhao Yibing.

Fei Yangyang—no, Sun Ming.

Shen Ye understood Chen Haoyu's worries.

—But he really had no interest in dealing with such trivialities.

"You should know, I actually don't like her,"

Shen Ye said quietly.

Chen Haoyu said, "Really?"

"Of course, really," Shen Ye said.

"Hmph, she used to come looking for you every day, but after you missed the test, she never came to our class again," Chen Haoyu said.

"We've already talked it over; she won't bother me anymore," Shen Ye said earnestly.

Bothering you incessantly...

It sounded like there wasn't a problem, but then again, something didn't seem right.

Anyway, Shen Ye had already dealt with it.

"Alright, that's probably for the best,"

Chen Haoyu said.

Shen Ye glanced at the line, silently calculating the time.

Each person needed to warm up, get ready, and wait their turn before the teacher said "start" for the test to begin; it was a lengthy process.

Because he and Chen Haoyu were taller, it would be near the end before their turns came around.

By then, it would almost be noon.

On the sports field, everyone else was warming up or silently practicing the test actions.

There was no need for him to waste time here.

"Haoyu—I'll leave the line to you. I have a stomachache, I'm going to use the restroom and will be right back,"

he told Chen Haoyu.

"Okay, I'll hold your place in line," Chen Haoyu said.

"If I don't make it back, just tell them I wasn't feeling well and went to rest," Shen Ye said.

"Sure."

Shen Ye nodded, then turned and walked out of the sports field.

There were security cameras everywhere on campus.

But not in the classrooms and bathrooms.

The bathroom... there might be people going there...

He remembered a few empty classrooms on the top floor; it might be better to go there.

Shen Ye quickly reached the top floor, pushed open the door of an empty classroom, and walked to the most hidden corner.

"Door."

He whispered in his heart.

On the wall, a classroom door appeared quietly.

Fitting in with its surroundings, the parchment pinned to the door had become a notebook.

Shen Ye looked through the window into the door.

The big skeleton wasn't there?

A good opportunity.

Shen Ye casually put on the Pale Shadow Crown, instantly transforming into a handsome male elf.

He then pinned the Silver War Medal to his chest before entering the Gate of Nightmares.

Click.

The door closed behind him.

A chilly breeze swept through the corridor, making his very bones shiver.

Shen Ye now had two choices—

One, to check if the door at the end of the corridor was locked or open;

Two, to use the Silver War Medal to teleport directly to the Elf Territory.

...Children are the ones who do multiple-choice questions.

To improve his evaluation, Shen Ye first crossed the corridor and tried to press the lock on that door.

It didn't budge.

Locking the door, no other monsters could enter here.

What on earth is this big skeleton up to?

Does it want to monopolize me?

After all, I represent the resources of another world.

Shen Ye didn't bother breaking down the door.

After all, he had only a barter relationship with the big skeleton, and if it decided to eat him, that relationship wouldn't restrain it.

Shen Ye was about to teleport away when he suddenly noticed something in the corner.

He crouched down and lit up the area with his phone.

A black revolver lay there silently.

A gun?

He remembered; this must be the assassin's gun!

Shen Ye picked up the gun and saw that there were still a few bullets left.

Good stuff!

The big skeleton didn't care for it, but to him, it was a treasure.

Getting a reward as soon as he entered was like striking it lucky on the first try!

After securing the gun, Shen Ye stood up contently and pressed his hand on the Silver War Medal.

The medal slowly emitted a pure white light.

The space around began to distort.

The teleportation had begun!

A moment of dizziness ensued.

A solid sensation came from beneath his feet.

Immediately after, a cold, hard object was thrust into his hand.

"I really don't have the ability to do more for you, please take this, it's a token of the Human Race!"

A voice spoke in his ear.

Blue sky and white clouds surrounded him.

The forest was lush green.

Streams, wildflowers, sika deer leisurely strolling.

Shen Ye stood by the stream, looked around but saw no one, and did not discover who had placed the object in his hand.

However, that voice sounded so familiar.

It seemed—

When he had first awakened the "Gate" ability, it was this voice that had informed him about the "King of the Fallen Wicked Ghouls' Cursed Sculpture".

Was it helping him?

Shen Ye looked down.

In his hand, he held a black short sword.

The sword's spine was dull, and the hilt was carved with two conjoined heads, one human, one stag.

A wisp of light leaped from the sword, materializing in the air into glowing small letters:

"Night Shadow."

"An exclusive short sword of a Human Scout."

"White Grade."

"Trait: Sharpness (Elementary)."

"This is a type of short sword used for assassinations, also blessed by the Human Race with the 'Quiet Sanctity' prayer."

"Quiet Sanctity: Only Human Scouts whose souls have not fallen can possess this sword."

"——The bearer of this sword is deemed trustworthy by the Human Race and can specialize in information transmission."

A token of the Human Race.

Strange.

Where did that entity acquire such a short sword?

Why did it give it to him?

Suddenly, the sound of running footsteps came from the forest.

Shen Ye quickly concealed the short sword in his bosom and took up a strategic position, silently waiting.

The next moment.

Three Elves appeared before him.

"Fei Lun?"

One Elf called out.

"Hmph, you finally arrived—quite slow indeed," the second Elf complained.

"If you hadn't come, we would have had to declare the mission a failure and then return to report," the third Elf said.

Who?

What?

Shen Ye didn't understand at once, but he immediately responded, "I ran into some trouble, so I'm a bit late."

"All right, no matter what, you've finally come," the leading Elf said softly. "We have already gained the trust of this Elf tribe; they believe we're courageous soldiers who have been injured and retreated from battle."

"We'll take action tonight, kill their chieftain, and seize their treasures—"

"Fei Lun, are you ready?"

Shen Ye glanced at the chests of the three Elves, indeed noticing they were all adorned with the Silver War Medals.

Were they all renowned Elven Soldiers?

Shen Ye nodded, "My hand has already started itching."

The three Elves looked somewhat satisfied with his response.

Suddenly, Shen Ye reached up to touch his face.

"Don't fiddle around!" all three Elves shouted simultaneously.

Now he understood.

"Don't worry, I'm just adjusting the position; it was a bit uncomfortable when I put it on earlier," Shen Ye said.

These three had the same medals, the same Pale Shadow Crown.

They were all Undead!

—What a scam this was!

That damned Skeleton, you must be the Fei Lun they were talking about.

Clearly, it was your mission, so why toss it over to me?

Shen Ye recalled the Skeleton crawling in the corridor and a thought surfaced.

The creature was injured and completely unable to participate in the fight, which was why it had resorted to this trick.

The "Elf" leader glared at Shen Ye, "Once we enter the Elf Village, be very careful. If you were exposed, the Elves would kill you on the spot."

"Rest assured, I, Fei Lun, will not make any mistakes," Shen Ye replied.

"That's for the best."
