Myriad Realms Gatekeeper

"I will find the mastermind and make him die."

"—I won't give anyone a chance to hurt me again!"

As the voice faded,

the illusory Dharma Aspect turned into a gust of wind and dispersed with a bang.

Tears streamed down the eyes of the girl in the black dress.

She stretched out her arms to embrace Charlotte and asked in a low voice,

"What if you can't do it?"

"Then I am not myself anymore, and I will cease to exist," Charlotte said firmly.

The girl in the black dress turned into tens of thousands of shadows and merged into Charlotte's body, disappearing from sight.

Shen Ye stood by and watched, suddenly seeing lines of tiny luminescent characters appear:

"Charlotte has awakened."

"Sorrowful Shadows Demon Castle has lost a part of itself."

"A negative personality has merged into Charlotte, becoming her strength."

"Charlotte has grown stronger."

"Your synchronization rate with her has increased."

"Current synchronization rate: 61%."

"Synchronization time: Anytime."

"Special effect gained: Soul Harmony."

"Description: Personalities (including you) can manifest at the same time, cooperate with each other, and control the body."

"—You must do as Charlotte has declared; otherwise, Charlotte's personality will turn negative."

All the tiny characters disappeared.

Charlotte turned her head to look at Shen Ye, seemingly waiting for his reaction.

Shen Ye gave her a thumbs up.

"Is revenge worth it?" Charlotte asked.

"You are doing it for everyone's safety, so I think this revenge must feel very satisfying," Shen Ye said.

"I seem to recall many things. It's funny how I used to be lost in sorrow, solely focused on my own sadness, yet never tried to trace the source," Charlotte reflected.

"No one's here anymore; go find your friends," he reminded her.

Charlotte then hurriedly ran out of the restroom, transformed into Lancy, and cried out with a tearful voice:

"What's wrong? Teacher? Sophie? Where are you all?"

Sophie immediately rushed over, took her hand, and amidst the gaze of several Professionals, ran back to the assembly group.

"What happened?" the little girl asked in panic.

"Nothing, Lancy, don't be afraid, we have so many people to protect you."

Sophie's face was pale, and she was trembling, but she forced a smile for the little girl.

The little girl deliberately stretched her neck to look around.

But there wasn't much to see.

The clump of gray in the square was far away; unless one had seen what the test subjects looked like before, it was just a clump of gray.

A puzzled look crossed the little girl's face.

"What is everyone afraid of? It seems like nothing has happened, is there a monster?"

She asked curiously.

"A 'Catastrophe' has erupted," a little boy whispered.

"Catastrophe? What's that?" the little girl didn't understand.

"Lancy, you really don't know anything," another little girl sighed.

A rumbling sound came from the sky.

Transport helicopters descended one after another.

"Quick!"

"Everyone, get on the helicopter; we are leaving immediately!"

The leader shouted loudly.

The other Professionals looked as if they were facing a great enemy.

Soon after,

several immense presences appeared in the sky.

Three Law Domain Seventh Layer experts revealed their figures.

They floated in the sky, watching closely all around, on guard against any possible attacks.

With them in charge, the situation finally calmed down.

The helicopters filled with children took off swiftly and flew towards the distance.

An hour or so later.

In the wilderness.

A large expanse of white metallic buildings came into everyone's field of vision.

The research institute had been reached!

The helicopter slowly descended.

About 200 children were taken into the building and stationed in a large plaza.

A soothing broadcast voice sounded:

"Welcome to our guests."

"May I ask if there are esteemed visitors from the Immortal Country above? If so, you will be given our most distinguished welcome!"

The broadcast repeated three times.

The children all looked baffled.

Lancy was no exception.

—She didn't understand the meaning of this sentence at all.

Shen Ye, however, was startled.

This referred to an extremely ancient era from the memories of the Nine Aspects, though it had become part of the real world, he hadn't heard of anything about an Immortal Country!

Could it be because of the Skeleton's kick?

—Was the Immortal Puppet's foot, which had barely emerged, recognized by this world?

Shen Ye suddenly realized that the waters of this world were deeper than he'd thought.

Relying on his current form as a "Ghost," he swiftly passed through metal walls, quickly searching.

In no time,

he actually found a conference room.

Many strong individuals had gathered here; they sat together, watching the images displayed on a large screen.

Every child's expression was played over and over.

There were detailed heart rate monitors, brainwave fluctuation analysis, and motion pattern analysis on the side.

Data from over 200 children flickered non-stop on the screen.

—They were observing and analyzing the children!

Shen Ye wasn't worried.

Lancy didn't know about the Immortal Country, so her behavior was very natural.

Moreover, she wasn't at the scene when the incident happened but was in the restroom far away, which inadvertently led to her being overlooked.

After all, this era couldn't understand a "future class" name.

After about a quarter of an hour.

An indifferent electronic voice rang out:

"Analysis complete, no suspicious targets found."

Sitting in the center at the presidential table, an elderly man with white hair and beard cleared his throat and said:

"It's not suitable for parasites to infect such young children; it's probably not because of the kids. I guess there was a problem with someone in the service area."

"—Check everyone who stayed in the service area."

"What if the target is found?" someone asked.

The old man touched his head and sighed, "That's really troublesome. That Immortal Country is quite terrifying; it's best not to get involved."

"What do you mean?" the person asked.
