Chapter 173 Early Morning
After sending the message, Yu Sheng raised his head and glanced at the sky outside the window.
It was just dawn, and it was still early before work time. It might take a while for Bailiqing to respond.
So he didn't wait any longer. After sending the message, Yu Sheng found a small box originally used to hold biscuits, put away the "bullet" from the hunter, and then went to the kitchen to prepare for stuttering.
of.
Hu Li and Eileen followed naturally - the former was ready to grab some food, and the latter obviously still had some questions that he didn't understand.
"How does that hunter know that you can bring bullets 'outside'?" Irene followed Yu Sheng in confusion, "He just gave you a shot and was sure that you would not only survive, but also take out the bullets?
And you can also have the opportunity to find someone to analyze the origin of the bullet? How can you convey information to people like this?"
Yu Sheng was busy in front of the stove. He didn't stop his movements after hearing Irene's words. He just frowned slightly, with a thoughtful look on his face.
The question mentioned by the little puppet is exactly what he has been thinking about since just now.
It is hard to say whether that bullet was a "message", but one fact is very clear: when he was in the black forest, the hunter shot him without hesitation, and the shot was pointed directly at the heart, gouging out other people.
Motive, this shot was obviously more aimed at killing him.
"So, the most likely possibility is that...he doesn't know." After a moment of reflection, Yu Sheng broke the silence.
Eileen blinked: "Don't you know?"
"An entity wandering in the dark forest cannot possibly know about my 'resurrection' ability," Yu Sheng said slowly, "and it should not know that I entered the dark forest by 'opening the door' directly from reality, so the hunter shot
At that time, I didn’t know theoretically that I would be able to carry the bullet into the real world alive.”
"Then he really wants to kill you? But Little Red Riding Hood just said that the hunter will not misjudge. He has no motive to shoot you..."
"I don't understand this either," Yu Sheng shook his head, "But no matter what, I will carry that bullet with me the next time I enter the black forest."
He quickly cut a plate of cucumber shreds, then picked up the remaining half cucumber and handed it to Hu Hu, who had been waiting for a long time. After a brief pause, he said: "Since the hunter 'gave' me a bullet,
Then I have to take it with me and see what changes this thing will cause in the future."
Irene said "Oh", and at this moment, a cell phone ring suddenly rang from Yu Sheng's pocket.
"This is from Baili Qing," Yu Sheng took out his cell phone, took a look at it, said something quickly, and then answered the call casually, "You wake up so early? Did you see the message I sent you?"
Baili Qing didn't say any pleasantries at all, and went straight to the point in her first sentence: "That is a standard exorcism warhead used by deep-diving team members and Secret Service agents seventy years ago. It has now been updated."
Yu Sheng wiped his hands on the towel, told Hu Li to look at the pot where the noodles were cooking, and told Irene not to climb on the stove again, then walked aside: "...Okay, it's exactly what I thought.
Same."
"The warhead comes from the Black Forest?" Baili Qing's voice came from the receiver, "Is it another 'relic' obtained from the 'Hunter'?"
Yu Sheng pondered for a moment subconsciously, mainly wondering whether the bullet was "left behind" by the other party or "gifted" to him when the other party shot him. He thought for two seconds before quickly shaking his head.
Cutting off this somewhat outrageous thought: "Yeah, the process of getting it is quite tortuous, but it is indeed the 'Hunter's' thing, and it is an item he uses."
"Then we can basically confirm that the hunter came from the twelve-man deep diving team seventy years ago," Baili Qing's tone changed slightly, with an imperceptible solemnity, and then she took a gentle breath.
The tone is, "Have you established contact with him? Is this veteran... still willing to help us?"
Yu Sheng couldn't help but fell silent, and after a moment he sighed: "Unfortunately, I failed to successfully establish communication with the 'Hunter'. Although I showed him the group photo, I am not sure whether the other party responded to the group photo.
"
"Didn't you say a word?"
Yu Sheng thought for a while: "I didn't have time to say it."
Baili Qing was silent for a moment: "...Then how did you obtain the hunter's bullet? This kind of thing should be a warrior's personal belongings..."
"The other party called me."
Baili Qing remained silent for a little longer this time.
Apparently he was controlled by Yu Sheng's words and fell into deep thought.
"That's the literal meaning." Yu Sheng added an explanation.
This time, Ms. Director finally understood. The voice on the other side of the phone suddenly hesitated: "...Are you okay?"
"Not dead," what else could Yu Sheng say. After all, the person on the other side didn't know that he was not going to die, so he could only deal with it. "It's just a little scratch, and I always feel that the other person should still be able to communicate. This time
The method may not be right."
"You still want to try to contact the 'Hunter'?" Baili Qing seemed a little surprised, "This may be dangerous."
"It's a bit dangerous, but it's worth trying again. I've made some progress here. I'll sort out what happened last night and send it to you - you have a lot of think tanks, and they'll help me analyze it. Let's see.
Are there any details that I have omitted?" Yu Sheng said quickly, without leaving the other party a chance to interrupt him, "Little Red Riding Hood doesn't have much time. There are many children in that orphanage, and they don't have much time...
you understand me."
"...I understand. The Secret Service will provide full assistance. If you need anything, please contact me at any time."
After hanging up the phone, Yu Sheng leaned against the cupboard and took a deep breath.
"Benefactor," Hu Li's voice came from the direction of the stove, interrupting Yu Sheng's somewhat chaotic thoughts, "The noodles are cooked, do you need to run them through cold water?"
"Yes, let's go through the cold water." Yu Sheng quickly shook his head. When he looked at the expectant Hu Li, the irritability in his heart gradually dissipated unconsciously, and a smile could not help but appear on his face, "Then we are ready to eat.
."
…
The children are lining up in front of the sink, obediently washing their hands, face, and perfume in order. The children who have finished washing their hands are sitting at the dining table early, waiting for their "parents" to help serve food.
Little Red Riding Hood was supervising the doll heads at the sink, looking back from time to time to confirm the order at the dining table, with a somewhat bored expression on her face.
Rapunzel passed by, carrying a large bucket of vegetable soup just brought from the kitchen. When she passed by Little Red Riding Hood, she looked up curiously and said: "Hey, you are not still angry with me, are you?"
?”
"Do I look angry?" Little Red Riding Hood felt a little confused.
"Anyway, he looks quite serious," Rapunzel nodded, "I owed you twenty yuan last time and that's all you did."
The corner of Little Red Riding Hood's mouth suddenly twitched, and she didn't know how to respond.
"Hey, tell me what happened," Rapunzel asked curiously, "I knew you were kicked out of your dream. You suddenly sat up in the middle of the night and vomited, and then you were sulking.
What happened?"
"...It's nothing, I just suddenly realized that I'm actually quite afraid of my birthday next month - but I'm a little inexplicably looking forward to that day." Little Red Riding Hood was silent for a few seconds, exhaled softly, and waved her hand to the other party,
"Okay, don't waste time with me here. If you don't send the soup over, the children will start making noises."
This work is uploaded by the organizer~~
"oh……"
Rapunzel carried the soup bucket and walked away, while Little Red Riding Hood's eyes involuntarily followed the direction in which she left, looking at the long table.
Children of all sizes were sitting there, chatting and playing.
Several adults wearing council employee uniforms stood at the door of the kitchen. They looked here with complicated smiles on their faces.
Xiaoxiao has completely recovered her energy. She was very afraid of strangers two days ago and did not dare to speak loudly to other people in the orphanage. Now she seems to have friends of her own. She is describing the story to the child next to her with a serious look on her face.
A strange dream I had - it seemed to be a dream that had nothing to do with the black forest, a bit weird, but ordinary and peaceful.
Other children who often have nightmares seemed to be very envious of the scene Xiaoxiao described, and several children were attracted to it.
Little Red Riding Hood raised her head and squinted her eyes slightly against the gradually warming sunlight that poured in from the window.
…
There was a notification sound from her phone that she had received a message. Baili Qing opened it and took a look and saw that it was a message from Yu Sheng.
The message described a bold adventure in the black forest, a thrilling confrontation with "Grandma Wolf", and what happened during the brief contact with the hunter.
There are also many personal speculations by Yu Sheng, as well as some information related to the current situation of the Black Forest that has never appeared in the investigation report before.
The text is very long, and it was obviously edited on the computer and then forwarded - many details were clearly written.
Baili Qing stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, carefully reading this "report" that she didn't know whether it was a report or not. She couldn't help but muttered: "You are worthy of being a novelist..."
A pair of eyes quietly appeared outside the floor-to-ceiling window behind her at some point, and a mechanical voice sounded in her mind: "The words are very beautiful?"
"No, I mean it's much easier to understand after reading what he wrote than listening to what he said," Baili Qing sighed, "At least it's not so... overwhelming."
The illusory eyes blinked for a moment, and then Baili Qing and Bai Liqing looked at the text on the phone carefully.
After a while, Baili Qing dialed a number.
Song Cheng's voice came from the mobile phone: "Director?"
"Arrange an additional deep-diving squadron at the headquarters. It does not need to be dispatched for the time being, but it must be able to perform tasks at any time," Baili Qing said calmly. "The large-scale deep-diving pool in the D2 dive port will be prepared from now on."
"Yes," Song Cheng responded immediately, but he was also a little confused subconsciously, "Director, what happened?"
Chapter completed!
