If you become a monster, you will succeed.

Chapter 34 The Gatekeeper and the Gatekeeper

"Catch me? Why?" The girl listened to the sound of the roaring motorcycle engine, and her face was a little strange. It was not panic or worry, but more like the doubts of the plot party when faced with the inexplicable plot.

Thanks to the Cross Swords Guild, if the previous landfill was replaced, what the girl could see would probably be a group of strong men riding bicycles.

"Because you are a time traveler." Feng Xue said, but she had already taken out her badge, quickly logged out of her dormitory, then clicked on her personal information, and changed the account name from "Xiao Feng" to "Asa pungent".

I don't know if it will work, but it's better than doing nothing.

"Eh? How did they know?" The girl let out an exclamation, but immediately covered her mouth and muttered in a very low voice. Feng Xue ignored her. Seeing that the cancellation was completed on the badge, she carried it again. He picked up the girl and ran towards the distance.

To be honest, he didn't have any destination at this time, but he knew that once he was caught, it would definitely not end well.

Just like the doctor at the landfill before, he couldn't have fought the whole gang based on common sense, but he died anyway, why?
Feng Xue, who was absorbing knowledge while running, already understood the reason——

Because of memory.

Although it is a bit sad to say, the source of power of the so-called ghost stories is human fantasy, belief, desire and memory.

Ordinary ghost stories are formed by the condensed thoughts of human beings. They are slowly accumulated through word of mouth, and finally condensed into entities and turned into real existences. In ancient times, such existences were called "gods".

But the [Nothing] in Infinite City is different. To be precise, the real strange story is actually Infinite City, and the residents in Infinite City are just appendages of Infinite City.

They are [Nothing], nothing and nothing, because they have no legends of their own, no related thoughts, and no corresponding beliefs and fantasies. Therefore, if they want to become ghost stories, they must have a label that can anchor their own existence. .

But this is not enough, because the power of labels is always dependent on Infinite City, and [Nothing] using labels is always just an accessory of Infinite City.

And the way to break through this relationship and take the first step to become a ghost talk is to "be recognized by others".

This person refers to a person in the real world.

However, it is very difficult to go to the real world. Even without mentioning the daily hard consumption of the 10,000+ towers, it is very difficult to find a door that can go to the outside world.

The door is just an accidental coordinate overlap. When the person who opens the door returns to his own world, the door will disappear immediately. Even the person who goes to reality through this door will leave the coordinates of the original world. At most, it is a return ticket, and the return ticket cannot bring people.

So in theory, each door can only be used by the person who pushed the door to enter and exit once, but relatively, if you catch the person who pushed the door and let her keep opening and closing the door without leaving, you can control the door semi-permanently. Door.

But this is not the reason why the doctor was silenced before. The real reason is that it is very dangerous for ordinary [nothing] to go to the real world.

Because the existence of [Nothing] itself is very low, even with the help of labels, many people cannot quickly establish enough "memory" in the real world, which will soon be forgotten, according to the label of [Gatekeeper] According to the records in the book, for a period of time, there was even a strategy method of "killing and killing immediately after going to the real world", because death, blood and terror are the things that are most likely to be remembered by people.

But this kind of behavior has also caused a backlash. It is precisely because of the unscrupulous killings of these seniors that the real world has created an organization dedicated to fighting against [Nothing].

In the real world, [Nothing] cannot borrow the power of Infinite City. Before they gain real knowledge, they are at a disadvantage when facing soldiers with live ammunition, or even policemen with batons.

So in the end, some people thought of a more evil approach——

Let him be remembered before heading across the door!

This seems to be a paradox. After all, if you don’t go to reality, how can you be remembered by real people?

But don't forget, the person who pushes the door is also a real person.

In other words, as long as an indelible memory is left on the door pusher, part of the cognition can be obtained after the door pusher returns to the real world.

And what is more present than the people from another world you meet at first sight after opening the door?
Therefore, for those who try to gain the cognition of the door pusher, the gatekeeper, must die!

As the same manager, Feng Xue didn't think that the Cross Sword Guild was much better than the previous manager of the landfill, and it was impossible for him to bet his life on the other party's kindness.

But he wasn't lying when he said he came to hunt down the girl.

After all, as a door pusher, even if you keep opening and closing the door after being imprisoned, it is already a very tortured thing. However, this is actually the best treatment that the door pusher can enjoy after being captured by a big force ——

To become a ghost story needs to be remembered by others, and once it is forgotten, it will fall from the realm of ghost stories.

If it is to obtain cognition directly from reality, then there is no problem. After all, there are a lot of people. If one person forgets you, the rest of the people still have an impression.

So here comes the question, how to make a door pusher remember a [nothing] with a low sense of existence?

At the beginning, everyone was relatively gentle, but as time went by, various ways of dividing slaves began to appear, and gradually became the mainstream. Naturally, it will not be a gentle approach.

After all, it is always tragedy that is easier to remember than comedy.

Torture, torture, imprisonment...

Through all kinds of indescribable and cruel methods, let the door pusher leave an unforgettable memory, and then enter the real world with him. This is the safest route to become a ghost story in Infinite City.

But this safety is based on the psychological shadow of the person who pushed the door.

But for most of [Wu], this kind of price is nothing at all. As long as one person is injured, they can achieve strange stories. There is nothing more cost-effective than this!

In all fairness, if Feng Xue were the manager, maybe she would be like this. The reason why he has goodwill towards this girl now is because he doesn't have the capital.

Even if he really left this girl with a lifetime of psychological shadow, there is no way to send her back to the original world——

He can be sure that as long as the manager of the Cross Swords Union is not mentally handicapped, then his original dormitory, or the door of the original dormitory, must have been treated like a treasure by the Cross Swords Union.

It's not easy to get through that door.
