The elevator went down smoothly and silently, and the car seemed very quiet.
Bailiqing was the first to break the silence: "As for Huli's 'hometown' possibly being in the 'outside world', it's best for no one to say anything."
Yu Sheng did not speak, but looked at the other party with a slightly questioning look.
"Due to the influence of the Dark Angel, people in this world are extremely nervous about 'visitors from a foreign land,'" Baili Qing said straightforwardly without making any riddles. "It's okay for an official organization like the Secret Service. We can be cautious and sensible.
We treat this issue calmly, but some other organizations... are not so calm."
Yu Sheng nodded slightly: "Okay, I understand."
When they returned to the small room, Irene and Hu Li were still waiting there.
As soon as he saw Yu Sheng come in, Hu Li happily came up with a plate of cakes and handed the things in his hand to Yu Sheng with an aura as if he was about to stab him: "My benefactor! This is for you to eat, okay.
Food!”
Yu Sheng was almost knocked down by the girl's plate. He quickly took half a step back to regain his balance. Then he glanced at the contents on the plate and saw a piece of cream cake that was only as big as a palm and was twisted in all directions.
It was also piled high with nuts, and the amount of ingredients obviously exceeded the normal amount. The nuts stuffed on top looked even larger than the cake.
When I looked at Huli again, I saw that her face and hands were covered with cream, and even a small piece was rubbed on her ears. I don't know how she could eat it... and stuff her head into the cake?
The fox girl was still smiling happily, looking at Yu Sheng expectantly. The latter hesitated for a moment, but still took the obviously "processed" cake. Seeing this, Irene on the side explained: "You just
Eat it, the silly fox specially left it for you. She said you like nuts and raisins, so she stuffed half the jar of snacks into it for you."
Before Yu Sheng came in, his mind was still full of pain and hatred. At this time, looking at Hu Li's warm and happy smile, most of the sadness on his forehead melted away, but just looking at the cake dough in his hand
Lu Nanse - To be honest, he was quite moved, but the processing of this thing was a bit rough, and he felt that his blood sugar had already gone up after just one glance...
But after all, it was Miss Fox's intention, and it was hard to refuse her hospitality. In addition, there was Baili Qing next to her who, although her face was expressionless, always seemed to be watching the fun. Yu Sheng could only say thank you with a fork.
I took a bite of the cake.
Then half of the tooth almost chipped off.
"What the hell is this?!" Yu Sheng dug into the cake a few times in astonishment and took out a shiny, hard material as hard as a stone. He looked up at Hu Hu.
Hu Li smiled happily: "It's raisins."
Yu Sheng: "...?"
"In the end I couldn't stuff it in anymore, so I squeezed it."
Yu Sheng: "...?"
Damn raisins, this thing was almost crushed into bricks by her - the silly girl didn't have much common sense, but she had quite a lot of strength!
Yu Sheng reluctantly took two bites of what he could swallow, and then gave the remaining cake to Miss Fox, saying that he had already eaten snacks when he went out for a walk and was not hungry now, but he was still very grateful for this gesture -
Hu Li didn't think much about it, happily took the cake and started eating it. When chewing the grape brick, it made as much noise as a crusher.
Yu Sheng even thought he saw sparks bursting from her mouth.
"Let's go home after eating," Yu Sheng said, taking out a piece of paper and wiping the cream on the beaver's ears. "There are still many things to do when we get back."
"Have you finished the 'visit'?" Irene stood on the table and looked up at Yu Sheng.
Yu Sheng smiled and pressed the doll's hair: "The visit is over."
"Okay," Irene casually pulled Yu Sheng's arm away, climbed onto the latter's shoulders with ease, and asked by the way, "Ah, what about the 'iron lump' you brought here? There are no results yet.
?Just leave it here?”
Yu Sheng turned to look at Baili Qing.
"I'm afraid it will take some time," Baili Qing said calmly, "We need to do some detailed scans of its internal and microstructure, which cannot be completed in a day or two. If you are relieved, you can leave it here
here."
"...That's okay," Yu Sheng thought for a moment, then nodded happily, "Anyway, I'll leave that thing there. If you come to a conclusion, remember to inform me in time... Huh
Tanuki! Don’t wipe your mouth with your tail!”
Baili Qing looked at the scene in front of her.
Weird, inconsistent, abstract - but it's a scene that makes perfect sense for them.
An imperceptible smile appeared in her eyes.
"I'll arrange for someone to take you home." She said suddenly.
"Ah, no need, we can just go back by ourselves," Yu Sheng wiped Hu Hu's mouth, hands, face and tail with a tissue. He looked back at Bai Liqing, and then added, "I will do it in front of you."
No need to report via mobile phone."
Baili Qing was stunned for a moment, but she realized what was going on in the next second. She quickly picked up the phone and sent a notification to the monitoring department, and then looked at Yu Sheng with a strange look in her eyes: "Is it okay now?
"
Yu Sheng smiled, then stretched out his hand and pulled it in mid-air in front of Baili Qing, and a shimmering illusory door opened out of thin air. Opposite the door was the living room of No. 66 Wutong Road.
"Would you like to come in and sit down?" Yu Sheng stood at the door, subconsciously being polite to the female director in front of him, "Anyway, we are already at the door..."
Baili Qing felt that this was awkward. She shook her head with a sullen face: "No, I still have a job."
"Okay, let's go first. Thank you for your hospitality. I'll contact you if I have anything to do later," Yu Sheng nodded, then turned around and walked into the door with the puppet and the fox, "Bye."
"Well, goodbye..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the illusory door had dissipated and the guests left, so suddenly and naturally, as if they had never been there.
Baili Qing stood quietly in the small room, looking at the position where the illusory door disappeared. After a long time, she took a deep breath and her eyes calmed down.
She picked up her mobile phone and dialed a number. After getting through, she said calmly: "How is the situation with the monitoring team?"
Song Cheng's voice came from the receiver: "We are manually tracking and recording, and the misalignment has just subsided."
"...The space stabilization device has been operating, right?"
"...Yes, running at full power."
"Are the internal calibration systems and space shielding nets of the headquarters building also open?"
"These two systems never go down, you know that."
"Jump disruptor..."
Song Cheng's voice sounded a little helpless: "It's also on. Today, I specially adjusted it to the maximum power and provided indiscriminate coverage. For this reason, the customs office and transportation station downstairs were affected and temporarily shut down."
Baili Qing was silent for two seconds.
"...He opened the door right in front of me and left without even showing any doubt. I think he didn't even realize there was any 'obstacle' here."
There was a soft "pop" sound from the other side of the phone, which was the sound of a lighter lighting a cigarette.
"Director," Song Cheng's tone was a little tired, "I have to remind you that it's a small matter for him to open the door and leave in front of you - next time he can open the door and come over, you have to be mentally prepared for this."
"I know, it's expected."
"Is the risk too high?" Song Cheng couldn't help but ask, "We invited him directly to the headquarters today... now he knows the coordinates here."
"Trust my judgment, Xiao Song," Baili Qing breathed out softly and said calmly, "The benefits of letting him treat the Secret Service as a 'friend' far outweigh the risks, especially after having in-depth contact with him today.
, I am more firm in this judgment.”
"...I understand, I believe what you see with those eyes. Then I will continue to stare at the surveillance team."
"good."
Just before hanging up the phone, Song Cheng suddenly remembered something: "Ah, by the way, I have some news for you, good news."
"explain."
"There is progress in the technical department. The researchers of the research team have successfully filtered out and integrated the 'open door' signal characteristics that we have recorded so far. It should be possible to add automatic filtering and automatic labeling functions to the space early warning system soon.
Song Cheng said with a smile in his tone, "If that thing can run normally, it will be easy in the future."
"Excellent employee of the year, outstanding team, star attack expert, technical star medal, and notification of praise - if it is successful."
"...Director, this year is not over yet..."
"Let's settle it for now," Baili Qing said calmly, "unless someone can really take advantage of the last month before the end of the year to save the world."
"All right……"
After hanging up the phone, Baili Qing threw the phone on the table, exhaled a little tiredly, leaned on the chair to rest, and tilted her head slightly, looking at the large window that could see the opposite laboratory.
On the surface of the polymer barrier that emitted a light blue shimmer, a pair of indifferent and faded eyes quietly appeared.
Those eyes looked at her quietly.
"...That person is gone?"
"Gone."
"oh."
"Are you going to read it again?"
"Still watching."
Bailiqing's expression didn't change at all, she just sighed.
The slightly mechanical voice continued to sound in her mind: "I can't help it. You should know that this is my instinct."
"It's up to you," Baili Qing said. Then she paused and asked casually, "Did you see anything interesting? Although you were too reckless this time, you have completed a close observation anyway."
"He has humanity," the eyes said.
Baili Qing said nothing, obviously not surprised.
"Strong, real humanity is not something that is mimicked," the eyes continued, "and he should not be an 'entity', at least not the so-called 'generated' entity of No. 66 Wutong Road."
Baili Qing's eyes finally changed a little.
"How can you tell?"
"His shadow, the shadow he casts in the spiritual world, is bigger than No. 66 Wutong Road. It is not so much that No. 66 Wutong Road created him, but rather... that he was able to reasonably 'exist' in our world.
