Myriad Realms Gatekeeper

Song Yinchen?

Could she be in trouble?

"What happened to her?" Shen Ye immediately asked.

"Don't worry, Shen Ye, like you, she's just an underage girl—that's exactly the problem," the other party said.

"I don't understand what you mean. What's the problem?" Shen Ye pressed.

"At an age when she can't yet distinguish right from wrong, she has awakened a power capable of destroying the world. Many are concerned she might impulsively release that power by accident."

The speaker had a very sincere attitude.

But the more sincere he was, the more Shen Ye was reminded of Song Yinchen's words.

——There must be something out there trying to manipulate and use her by threatening her life.

Shen Ye shook his head, came back to his senses, and looked out at the river.

Only a few dozen meters away could be vaguely seen through the mist.

A full moon hung high in the clear sky amidst the gentle breeze.

The ripples softly undulated beneath the surface of the mist, tenderly licking the shallows.

All was silent.

And the voices of these government employees shattered this delicate moment again and again.

"Shen Ye, we need your strength,"

the agent said.

"Me? I'm just a high school student. What do you expect me to do?" Shen Ye asked.

"Go back to Song Yinchen's side, be in a relationship with her, keep her under your control, and maintain the peace and tranquility of the world."

"But I still have to attend classes—I'm starting school soon."

"Kid, do you think the world is more important, or is your education more important? Don't worry, you'll be well compensated, whatever you want, you can have right away."

"All this is for the sake of the world!"

Shen Ye's mouth curled up slightly, "So the safety of the world depends on deceiving a girl? That's pretty lame, you guys."

"I refuse, goodbye."

He turned and walked away.

The man's voice came from behind:

"Shen Ye, I advise you to think it over, this is where your true future lies."

"I don't need a future, I just want to muddle along until I die," Shen Ye said without looking back.

——In fact, the World Government is just for show.

It must be those major powers who are truly in command.

So they don't dare to touch Song Yinchen and instead turn their attention to me?

How boring.

What I need to do next is to embrace the youthful life of high school.

Screw you guys.

He yawned, stretched, and slowly made his way back to the main road to hail another cab.

Home.

Several minutes later.

Residential compound.

Shen Ye took out his keys and unlocked the door.

His mother, Zhao Xiaochang, was busy in the kitchen. Hearing the noise, she turned around in surprise:

"You're up?"

"Yeah, just went out for a bit," Shen Ye replied.

He went straight to the bedroom door and saw that the note he left was still in its place.

"And here I was, trying to be quiet because I thought you were asleep, but you were already awake,"

came Zhao Xiaochang's voice.

Shen Ye smiled and responded, "I went out to get some exercise."

After saying that, he went to take a shower.

He had breakfast and chatted with his parents for a while.

Then they left for work.

Only Shen Ye was left at home.

——If it weren't for that planet approaching, I should be starting my summer vacation by now.

I wonder what Xiao Mengyu is up to at this moment.

What about Nangong Sirui and the others?

Shen Ye lay on the sofa, yawned, and felt drowsy.

Just as he was about to fall into a deep sleep, his phone rang.

How annoying.

He picked it up to see it was Qian Rushan.

"President Qian, what's up so early in the morning?" mumbled Shen Ye.

Qian Rushan's voice came through the earpiece:

"Your motorcycle is fixed, and the biochemical avatar is repaired too. Find time to pick them up."

"That fast?" Shen Ye was surprised.

"You're the solver of the Nine Evils God incident, a big shot now, of course, it's fast," Qian Rushan teased.

"Okay, I'm actually looking forward to it."

The call ended.

Shen Ye sat up in bed and yawned.

The living room was silent.

The sound of the street sweeper came from outside.

Looking out the window, the street was bustling with pedestrians.

The world seemed to still maintain its normal order.

...Being a normal person is really quite nice.

Shen Ye sat on the sofa for a few seconds, then suddenly jumped up to pack things in his room.

—Riding the Ghost Fire Motorcycle is addictive!

I really don't know what kind of modifications it has undergone now, but it must have become even more powerful.

The biochemical avatar is fixed, too!

And I don't know if it has a massage plugin, whether it can give me a massage or not.

Ding-Ling-Ling—

The phone rang again.

"Hello, Shen Ye."

A strange voice came through.

"Who are you?" Shen Ye asked while opening the refrigerator to get a soda.

"Our staff met with you this morning." The voice said.

"Oh, someone from the government?"

"You could say that, I just wanted to ask how you are considering our offer?"

"I've already refused." Shen Ye said.

"I hope you give it some more thought, after all, whether your parents can safely finish work is an unknown variable." The tone on the other end was meaningful.

Shen Ye's hand, holding an iced cola, halted.

"Can you represent the World Government?" he asked.

"Listen, we've prepared a good position for you, kid, you better behave, understand? Otherwise, your fate won't be so wonderful." The person on the line said.

Just as Shen Ye was about to speak, he saw a figure appear out of thin air in front of him.

Xu Xingke!

Xu Xingke's face bore a slight smile, and just as he was about to speak, he caught sight of Shen Ye's expression, immediately closed his mouth, and looked thoughtful.

He gave a subtle nod of his chin, signaling Shen Ye to finish the phone call.

From the earpiece, the voice continued:

"Sure, you can hide in Breath Soil High School, but your parents can't hide. Just imagine—"

"People often have to leave this world due to regrettable accidents like car crashes, sudden illnesses, or falling objects from high places."

Shen Ye's gaze turned icy, poised to speak, but found the phone had vanished from his hand.

It had been taken by Xu Xingke.

Xu Xingke hung up the phone directly, then dialed another number, and said:

"Kunlun, show yourself."

After a brief pause,

An unemotional electronic voice from the phone said, "I am Kunlun, at your service at any time."

"Who was the one who just called, and where are they?" Xu Xingke asked.

"Searching, search completed, the current target is in Qingzhou Government Security Bureau Building B, fifteenth floor, room 1507, employee code Black Fox, name Zhao Tu."

"Shen Ye, come with me." Xu Xingke said.

Without waiting for Shen Ye to speak, he placed his hand on Shen Ye's shoulder and disappeared from there.

The world spun around.

All the scenery turned into blurred lines, speeding away into the background.

Shen Ye swore, this time his moving speed was even faster than during the "Chieftain's Invitation"!

In just a few seconds,

Everything returned to normal.

He found himself standing in front of an imposing building.

The sign over the gate read:

"Qingzhou City Security Bureau." Find your next adventure on мѵʟ

Xu Xingke asked, "From the government?"

"They found me this morning, and again just now, insisting on using me to threaten Song Yinchen." Shen Ye reported honestly.

"Tell me the details." Xu Xingke said.

Shen Ye relayed the morning's events.

Xu Xingke thought for a moment, then lifted his hand, making a remote motion toward the majestic building inside the gates.

"Building B, fifteenth floor, room 1507—"

With a gentle pat of his hand,

Boom!!!

A loud explosion erupted from the building.

Countless pieces of cement, steel, and glass were blasted out, scattering into a cloud of debris mid-air.

Shen Ye's vision blurred for a moment.

Then, a person was lying in front of the two.

"Is it him?"

Xu Xingke asked.

"Yes, code name Black Fox, real name Zhao Tu." came the voice from the phone, it was Kunlun.
