Myriad Realms Gatekeeper-Chapter 1028 - 478: The Whirl of Fate_2

——A mere chip can’t possibly explode like a nuclear bomb, right?

In the void, several lines of glowing text appeared:

"The opponent has already detected the extent of your body’s enhancements."

"The method of erasing consciousness is beginning to change."

"The current chip will not explode, but your consciousness will face danger."

Shen Ye withdrew his attention from reality.

Sitting at his workstation, he looked out the window once more.

On the street.

A large group of special forces soldiers clad in bulletproof vests and armed to the teeth entered the building.

This...

Could they be here to eliminate his consciousness?

If consciousness dissipates, the person would essentially become a vegetable.

As a first-contact gift to those visitors from the Otherworld, it would also bring peace of mind.

Shen Ye supported his chin with one hand, spinning a pen in the other, pondering how best to handle this situation.

After a moment.

The Four Kings spoke again:

"This is indeed a good solution. We can accept it."

"But there is one more—"

Before the sentence was finished, the Four Kings and the Earth Demon Beast suddenly vanished from their original spots. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

They were gone!

Shen Ye’s body slumped to the ground, producing a "thud" upon landing.

Ripples in the void converged once more into sound:

"Foreign visitors!"

"—Are you still there?"

No response.

Only Shen Ye’s body lay quietly on the ground.

Ding!

The elevator doors opened.

A large group of special forces soldiers stormed into the corridor, swiftly approaching the office door, surrounding it tightly.

Just as they were about to act, a sudden message played on their radios:

"Highest directive: this operation has been converted into a hostage rescue drill."

"Repeating—this is a drill!"

"Execute the drill according to Plan Five. Do not harm any civilians. Proceed patiently with explanations. Begin!"

The lead special forces captain had just pushed open the glass door of the office.

Hearing the modified orders, his hand holding the gun hesitated.

The receptionist at the company had already stood up, looking bewilderedly at the influx of special forces soldiers.

"Where’s your manager? Call them over. We are about to conduct the drill, and we need their cooperation."

The special forces captain said loudly.

The morning meeting was interrupted.

Employees all looked toward the entrance.

Several company managers hurriedly stepped forward to communicate with the military.

Shen Ye picked up his cup and took a sip of water.

That was close.

He came very close to being exposed.

Still, he couldn’t relax just yet.

The opposition clearly intended to figure out what was going on before deciding whether to kill him.

While he still had the chance—

Shen Ye’s thoughts activated, and lines of glowing text appeared in the void:

"You have activated the Primordial entry ’Mastermind.’"

"Now beginning to continuously generate prefixes for the item ’Human Individual Brain-Machine Chip.’"

Shortly thereafter, prefixes began to appear before Shen Ye’s eyes:

"Powerful, high-level, excellent, flawed, damaged, special..."

Shen Ye sat quietly at his workstation, waiting.

The managers were still communicating at the reception desk.

It was all too sudden; there had been no prior notice, and no one knew if it was true or not.

Their first priority was to verify its authenticity, then see if it conformed to protocol.

After some time.

It was finally confirmed there was indeed such a drill, and the company had to cooperate.

"Everyone stay at your workstations and don’t move. This is a routine anti-terrorism drill; please cooperate, and it will be over soon."

The leaders announced loudly from the stage.

The employees reluctantly returned to their workstations, quietly awaiting the so-called drill.

The soldiers entered the office.

Feigning thorough inspections, they glanced around a few times before pointing at Shen Ye:

"Please cooperate and act as the hostage."

"Alright." Shen Ye stood up.

Before his eyes, a series of glowing text appeared:

"Currently, there are two compatible prefixes:"

"1. Nonexistent."

"Description: The chip has never existed."

"2. Supreme."

"Description: You will become the ultimate existence within the virtual Dream World."

Supreme?

Shen Ye’s lips curled slightly, a playful glint flickering in his eyes.

No matter how "supreme" the identity, it would be nothing more than a dream in the virtual world.

Who truly knows who controls the virtual world behind the scenes!

And further—

Even if one reigns supreme in the virtual world, the reality remains that their physical body is frail, subject to manipulation, and perpetually at risk of being killed.

Even a fool would know which option to choose!

"Choose 1." Shen Ye murmured inwardly.

——The "Nonexistent" chip!

The entry "Mastermind" in generating prefixes operates not aimlessly, but gradually "aligns with target traits."

The prefix "Nonexistent" signifies that in Shen Ye’s consciousness, the "chip has never existed."

Since it has never existed, it could never have affected the brain.

This is actually a reverse application of causality!

In an instant.

Shen Ye vanished from everyone’s sight.

Panic-stricken screams and shouts erupted throughout the company.

The special forces captain’s radio suddenly announced new orders:

"Wipe out the current building, and restore all data."

The building disappeared abruptly.

In the next moment.

The building reappeared again.

"Everyone stay at your workstations and don’t move. This is a routine anti-terrorism drill; please cooperate, and it will be over soon."

The leaders announced loudly from the stage.

Employees sat at their workstations, quietly waiting for the so-called drill.

Shen Ye’s workstation was empty.

But everyone seemed completely oblivious to this, as though he had never existed.

Elsewhere.

In the real world.

Shen Ye slowly opened his eyes.

"Ugh..."

He let out a feeble, drawn-out groan.

"Current personal attributes are as follows:"

"Strength: 0.5;"

"Agility: 0.2;"

"Spirit: 450;"

"Comprehension: 450;"

"Resonance: 0.1;"

"Available free attribute points: 450."

His attributes looked odd because his soul had returned from the other side of the gate, retaining its original strengths in "Spirit" and "Comprehension."
