Little Red Riding Hood seemed to be in a good mood. If someone who knew her well saw the expression on her face at this moment, he would be surprised. She has not been so relaxed for a long time.
However, she still seriously retorted to Yu Sheng: "My eighteenth birthday will be next month. You can't treat me like a child."
"You are a child until you are eighteen. I will treat you as an adult after your eighteenth birthday," Yu Sheng raised his eyebrows, "Don't forget to leave a piece of cake for me then."
As soon as he finished speaking, Huli, who was carefully observing the chicken next to him, immediately raised his head: "I want it too!"
Co-author Yu Sheng and Little Red Riding Hood chatted here for a long time, and the fox girl heard such a crucial sentence.
Little Red Riding Hood laughed, with a bright smile, and then she bared her teeth at Yu Sheng and Beaver - like a naughty wolf cub: "Okay, when the time comes, you will have to come to celebrate my birthday even if the sky rains a knife, who will?"
If you don’t come, who will be the puppy?”
Yu Sheng grinned and took out his cell phone and clicked a one-click report. Then he turned sideways and opened a door leading to the orphanage. The shimmering illusory door opened silently. Opposite the door was the orphanage.
An unmanned corridor in the west building.
"Xiaoxiao! Long hair! Home!" Little Red Riding Hood came to the edge of the platform and shouted loudly to the two children, one big and one small, who were still playing on the grass. "It will be dark soon!"
Rapunzel took Xiaoxiao back to the platform, but the latter was still looking at this place reluctantly.
‘I haven’t had enough fun yet,’ the little girl said flatly, ‘Can I come again next time?’
"Of course," Yu Sheng nodded immediately, "I can go to you often in the future, and maybe one day I can even 'leave a door' in your orphanage."
"Well, you don't have to take it so seriously," Rapunzel said with an embarrassed expression on her face, "This is too troublesome——"
"No trouble, this is my recent research project," Yu Sheng said quite calmly, "If you have any activities like outings for children or activities for older children to collect and sketch, you can come to me. I'm here
There’s nothing else about the valley now except that it’s wide—the so-called parks in the city are definitely not comparable to what I have here.”
Little Red Riding Hood thought about it for a long time, but still felt that the words "outing" and "foreign land" were too weird to be used together.
But she's used to it.
The guests left.
"I don't like human cubs," Irene walked over angrily. After adjusting her skirt, she pulled Yu Sheng's pants and climbed up while mumbling, "He's babbling and always talking a lot.
If you're bored and do a lot of boring things, I don't know what fun it is to chase them around on the grass-"
"But I think you had a lot of fun playing with that child in the second half," Yu Sheng smiled and turned to glance at Irene, who had climbed onto his shoulder, "And you have the nerve to say what others are saying?"
Irene thought for a while, then hugged Yu Sheng's head and started chewing.
But Yu Sheng pulled it off with one hand.
"What are we going to do next? Going home?" Irene was lifted up in the air by Yu Sheng's collar, and she asked casually with a habitual expression, "It's not lunch time yet."
Yu Sheng shook his head: "Don't worry, I still need to do some experiments, but I have to make a call to Baili Qing first."
As he spoke, he took out his mobile phone under Eileen's puzzled eyes, then sorted out his thoughts for a while, and then dialed the number that he had been constantly harassed recently.
The other party connected quickly this time: "Hello? Yu Sheng?"
"Ahem, it's me," Yu Sheng cleared his throat, "Sorry, things are a bit messy here today, I just remembered to call you."
"It's okay, what do you want to say?"
Bailiqing's tone was very calm, as if she had forgotten the "steel facial paralysis" she heard during the last phone call.
"Two things. First, didn't I tell you that there are things that I want the Secret Service to help identify tomorrow? One of the things is something I found from the fairy tale - the Black Forest," Yu Sheng said, thinking in his mind
He recalled the "suggestion" that Teacher Su mentioned to him, "I would like to apply for access to some information - about 'fairy tales'."
There was silence on the other side of the phone for two seconds before Bai Liqing's voice came: "These are the files from when the Secret Service centralized management of the early victims of 'Fairy Tale' and conducted early exploration of the 'Fairy Tale' exotic land, right?"
"You guessed it," Yu Sheng breathed out, "It's that batch of information, about seventy years ago."
"I guessed it after knowing your actions today," Baili Qing said calmly, "I'm just a little curious as to why you suddenly became interested in this matter - it's because of the spirit named 'Little Red Riding Hood'
Detective?"
"The reason is her, but the more important reason is that I want to take care of it," Yu Sheng said, "I have a lot of opinions about this foreign land now. Is this a sufficient reason to ignore my lack of understanding?"
"Enough," Baili Qing replied immediately, "I can arrange that someone will pick you up tomorrow. Before then, the identification analysis laboratory and archives will be prepared for you."
Yu Sheng knew that Baili Qing would probably agree, but he didn't expect that Baili Qing would agree so readily. He couldn't help but quickly reacted: "Ah, thank you very much."
The voice on the other side of the phone never fluctuated: "With a little effort, what about the second thing?"
"Well, the second thing is not troublesome, it's just more annoying -" Yu Sheng suddenly felt a little embarrassed when he said this, "I'm going to do some 'experiments' later."
"experiment?"
"The experiment of opening the door," Yu Sheng said, and added, "The number of times may be more, the method may be more innovative, the scale is hard to say, and the duration is also uncertain - I am thinking about the one-click reporting function on the mobile phone.
If it’s not enough, I still have to give you a call.”
There was silence on the other side of the receiver.
Irene (she had been put on the ground by Yu Sheng at this time) immediately began to mutter: "I'm swearing, I'm swearing in my heart!"
"No problem," Baili Qing's voice came from the phone. Although it still sounded very calm, it was probably because there was a chattering puppet next to him to enhance the atmosphere. Yu Sheng always felt that the Director-General was talking.
I gritted my teeth a bit and said, "I'm going to notify the monitoring team to block the global automatic alarm and switch to manual recording - call me when you're done."
The phone was hung up, and Yu Sheng lowered his head and looked at the little puppet with its waist and head raised confidently.
"She must have cursed just now! That's what my spiritual intuition told me!"
Then she paused and looked curious: "What are you going to experiment on?"
Yu Sheng took a breath and stretched out his hand in the air: "First, try to see if you can open a door to the black forest from the outside. The illusory door quickly took shape in his hand, and the simple door that exuded a shimmering light was in the air.
There was a slight tremor in the air,
Yu Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly, recalling the "frequency" he recorded in the dark forest, and assigned it to the door in front of him.
Then he carefully opened the door.
The next second, the door shattered silently.
Erin and Hu Li looked at this scene and exclaimed softly in unison.
Immediately afterwards, a strong dizziness suddenly struck, and Yu Sheng immediately covered his head and took half a step back.
"Benefactor!" Hu Li instantly rushed over and wrapped his tail around Yu Sheng's body, "Did the immortal magic backfire?!"
"It's okay, I just felt dizzy." Yu Sheng stood firm, feeling the dizziness in his head gradually fade away, and waved his hands to Hu Li and Irene, "The door failed...this is the first time."
"Can this still fail?" Irene was stunned and looked at Yu Sheng with a little worry, "Hey, are you really okay?"
"It's really okay." Yu Sheng tugged at the corner of his mouth, broke out from the beaver's tail, breathed softly, looked at the broken position of the door just now, and couldn't help but frown and think.
"It shouldn't be," he whispered to himself after a moment, "You can open the door from the Black Forest and return to the outside world. Why can't you go to the Black Forest from the outside?"
Erin thought for a while and muttered: "Because 'this door can't be opened from this side'?"
When Yu Sheng heard this, he felt a chill: "Don't say that, I'm allergic to it!"
"Could it be because this valley is part of the benefactor's cave?" Hu Li also thought hard and said unconfidently, "This is not a normal 'real world' after all. Will there be such an impact?"
"
Irene's eyes lit up: "Hey, silly fox, your brain sometimes works well!"
"What Hu Li said makes sense," Yu Sheng also nodded, "Let's go 'outside' and try."
While he was talking, he had already casually opened a door leading to an uninhabited street near No. 66 Wutong Road.
After a while, Yu Sheng sat dizzy on the curb near the door of his home, looking at the telegraph poles opposite and seeing double images.
Even the lanky ghost standing next to the telephone pole has a human head.
Facts have proved that the failure of the door opening process has nothing to do with whether you are in the real "real space". As long as you try to open the door directly from the "outside world" and enter the "black forest", you will encounter problems.
In frustration, the group returned to the valley.
"It looks like it's really not possible," Irene sat on Yu Sheng's shoulders, holding her cheeks with her hands. "You can only open the door from the black forest. You can't open the door from the outside to enter the black forest. To get in, you can only take the road of "Dreamland"
——I think this is related to the fact that the Black Forest is essentially a 'conscious space', just like you can wake up from a dream, but you have to physically 'walk' into the dream from the real world.
That’s very unreasonable...”
Yu Sheng said nothing.
As he listened to Irene's analysis, similar conjectures were running through his mind.
But he always felt something was wrong.
The "unidirectionality" of the Black Forest - Is it really because of this? Is it really because it is a pure "conscious space"?
