Yu Sheng's consciousness was floating in an endless darkness, and the familiar sense of emptiness and depression flowed silently at the edge of his perception. His thinking was very slow, very slow, in such a lonely and familiar "afterlife"
", he even began to feel a little enjoying the silence.
How should I put it...what happened was quite unsuspicious.
The wolf, which was bigger than the house, pounced down, and Yu Sheng died on the spot. He didn't last longer than the squirrel.
Of course, the main reason why things ended so quickly was that Yu Sheng didn't hide at all. Not only did he not hide, he even took the initiative to send himself up - sending his blood, his flesh, his spirit, his...
All pure and burning joy and curiosity.
He lay quietly in the darkness of death.
He flows quietly in the spirit and flesh of the wolf.
He quietly penetrated into the black forest, looking for the tentacles of "fairy tale" in the black forest.
Yu Sheng controlled his thinking and prevented himself from being affected by the bizarre thoughts and fragments of memories in the dark.
For him, every death is a "practice". From the beginning, he completes his rebirth in complete confusion, then he can realize the existence of the darkness around him, and then he can feel his return to the "human world".
process, and now, not only can he keep thinking clearly in the dark, but he can also try to control his most pure "thinking" without physical encumbrance at this moment.
He actively exercised the power of his thinking, tried to calculate time in the dark, and even tried to perceive things "outside" in reverse.
He knew that his body was actually still sleeping in the real world, with Erin and Huli accompanying him. It was only his soul that died this time - just like it was devoured by the entity-hungry when he had direct contact with it before.
But there are obvious differences from last time.
This time, Yu Sheng could vaguely feel that the fragments of his torn soul were gradually decomposing and becoming part of another individual, just like the swallowed seeds were sprouting, and the buds turned into winding growth.
Tentacles - he sensed one of the tentacles, so he tried to extend his will in the darkness, and took the initiative to gently... "fiddle" with it.
He saw "himself" running in the forest, blind and furious, covered with the boundless night, casting a huge shadow.
He could even vaguely feel his fur, feel the night wind in the dark forest blowing by his ears, and the howls of wolves echoing around him. The invisible wolf followed him, running endlessly in the night.
.
He could feel that these wolves feed on fear - that was when fairy tales were born. Their most primitive and essential function was to intimidate and coerce, and to use many terrifying and sinister images to intimidate the children who listened to the stories.
Fear of wilderness and unfamiliar environments keeps them at home.
This fear grew in the dark forest and turned into these wolves that feed on fear.
But they are hungry now.
Because they didn't get any nourishment from the hunt just now - after swallowing the flesh and blood of strange intruders, all they felt was a fearless emptiness, and some joy and curiosity that the wolves could not recognize, which confused them.
.
The huge evil wolf passed through the clearing in the forest, and its confused mind could not understand why this happened - eating should not be like this, and being swallowed, no matter what it is, should be fearful, but
I wasn't afraid at all of what I just ate. In fact... the "food" was more like an ecstatic eater.
Did it eat the "human", or did the "human" get into its body and eat it from the inside out?
The wolf doesn't understand. The wolf will just run in the forest according to its instinct, patrolling every place where Little Red Riding Hood may appear, searching for those hiding places, and destroying those hiding places.
"You just keep running like this?"
A voice suddenly appeared - Yu Sheng was whispering next to the wolf, whispering to it with the low whimper of the wolf.
The giant wolf suddenly stopped, raised its head in confusion, and looked around the dark forest, which was no different from what it remembered.
It still cannot understand where the sound comes from, nor can it connect it with its "eating" just now.
But it can feel that something... "appears", that thing is vaguely familiar, like prey - and like a hunter.
The howling of wolves around them gradually became quieter. The invisible wolves patrolled uneasily in the forest and began to instinctively look for the same invisible intruder.
The grass and trees swayed, the wind blew through the treetops, and leaves swirled past the giant wolf. In the gap between the rotating leaves, a curious eye stared at it.
"Do you... taste good?"
The leaves dissipated, and the giant wolf felt that the weird "thing" also disappeared from his perception. It lowered its head and let out a confused and chaotic growl. The wolves began to whimper around it, and the whimper gradually became louder.
Howls sounded one after another in the dark forest.
In a certain bush in the distance, a pair of nervous eyes stared at this scene and made a small cry: "It's getting weird, it's getting weird..."
…
Yu Sheng fell suddenly in the darkness, and then the familiar feeling of crossing a certain "demarcation line" came over him. He regained his awareness of his body in the final stage of his fall, and with the soft touch of the bed coming from underneath him,
He suddenly opened his eyes.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw two Irenes with their heads touching each other in front of him, two pairs of scarlet eyes staring at him unblinkingly.
When Yu Sheng, who had just come back to life, saw this scene, he was almost sent away by the little doll again. He felt bad on the spot: "Oh shit! You scared me to death!"
As it turned out, Irene was louder than him. When the two dolls saw Yu Sheng suddenly opening his eyes, they jumped up with a roar - and then they fell from the bed to the ground in unison, making two loud thuds.
It hurts to hear it.
"You scared me!"
"How dare you say that? Are you so close and staring at me? Fortunately, I opened my eyes before I got up. If I got up suddenly, there would be at least two lumps on my head!" Yu Sheng looked at Zheng Zheng using his hands and feet angrily.
Irene climbed onto the bed, and then saw the fox girl who was standing by the bed obediently, smiling gently at her, "You see how sensible Hu Huli is, he knows how to stand quietly next to her, and still smiles.
Just say hello..."
As soon as Irene climbed onto the bed, she heard the second half of Yu Sheng's words and immediately complained: "She laughed because she was guilty!"
"……ah?"
"She ate all the meat stuffing! There are no buns tonight!"
Yu Sheng listened in a daze, then turned to look at the demon fox girl. The smile on the latter's face finally began to stiffen, and then she lowered her head, even her tail and ears drooped: "...I just wanted to have a taste.
Salty..."
"Then if the first bite is salty, drink water, and if the water tastes bland, then have another bite of minced meat, right?" Irene stood at the bedside with dignity, "One basin! You ate them all!"
As soon as Yu Sheng woke up, he was faced with a lawsuit on his head. His mind was in a turmoil for several seconds before he finally woke up and turned to look at Irene: "What about you? What are you doing when you steal the minced meat?"
Eileen said confidently: "I poured water for her! I'm afraid she will choke."
Yu Sheng slapped him on the forehead.
He definitely owed these two living treasures in his previous life.
"My dear friend... I'm sorry..." Seeing that Yu Sheng was silent, Hu Li thought that Yu Sheng was really angry, so he immediately came over nervously, "I won't eat all the food next time."
As she spoke, a big silver-white furry tail was placed in front of Yu Sheng.
"I'll touch my tail so I won't be angry anymore."
Yu Sheng looked up and twitched the corner of his mouth.
"Well, it's nice that you let me touch your tail, but you don't have to pull it off and give it to me...it looks a bit scary."
"oh."
"Forget it, I'm not angry either. I just came back to life and my mind was a little confused. I can't react to all your movements." Yu Sheng breathed out and casually picked up the fox tail that was still emitting heat and handed it to him.
He gave it to Hu Li, "I'll go cook some noodles later. I guess you're not full yet - you go downstairs and wait for me first, and I'll take a rest."
Hu Li said oh and got up to go out. Irene walked to the bed and suddenly turned around: "By the way, you haven't said what the situation is like over there - it depends on the time you wake up. Really?"
'Hang' again?"
Yu Sheng smiled slightly: "The front teeth of that thing are thicker than my thighs, what do you think?"
Erin had a strange expression: "...Then I think you are in a pretty good mood."
Yu Sheng thought for a while, as if he was reminiscing about something. After a long time, a smile of unknown meaning appeared on his face: "Yeah, it's pretty good. Although I didn't taste it, it seems... well worth looking forward to.
"
Irene blinked her eyes and immediately shrank her neck after realizing her reaction: "I'll go, as expected of you."
She jumped off the bed one after another and ran to chase the fox, shouting as she ran: "Hey! Silly fox, I tell you! We may have to add food in a few days!"
"Ah? What kind of food should be added?"
"Maybe it's wolf meat..."
Listening to the voices of Hu Li and Irene gradually walking away in the corridor, a smile appeared on Yu Sheng's face unconsciously. Then he breathed a long sigh of relief, relaxed his body, and leaned back on the bed.
After a while, he reached out and picked up the mobile phone on the bedside table.
Open the border communication and find the avatar of Little Red Riding Hood - as a high school student, she should still be in school at this time.
Although Yu Sheng always felt that it was weird for a spiritual detective like her to go to school honestly, but after being exposed to it several times, he got used to it.
There is never a shortage of strange characters from all walks of life in this border city.
He quickly edited a message and sent it to the girl who was with the wolf——
