After arranging the matters assigned by the director, Song Cheng returned to the office, lit a cigarette, and looked out the window in a daze.

The labyrinth-like circular walls that are piled up layer upon layer extend outside the window, extending into the endless distance. Heavy rain pours from between the walls of the maze, flying into the sky and washing away.

Looking at another piece of land above the sky.

Song Cheng was in a daze for a moment before he remembered that today was Friday, and the floor where his office was located would be moved to the viewing floor of the "maze" area after twelve o'clock.

Friday is great, worth looking forward to. Tomorrow is a pleasant weekend...it’s an overtime day.

Song Cheng smiled self-deprecatingly, casually pulled down the blinds of the office, turned around and came to the table, looking at several files that his subordinates had just sent here.

These are all information related to foreign "fairy tales", and some are information related to current members of the "fairy tale organization".

Thanks to the recent activity of a "new spiritual detective organization", the focus of several departments of the Secret Service has now shifted to "fairy tales".

Putting his cigarette in the ashtray next to him, Song Cheng calmed down and flipped through the paper documents in front of him.

After an unknown amount of time, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from the corridor outside the door, causing Song Cheng to stop flipping through documents.

The moment the knock on the door rang, he had already spoken: "Come in."

The door of the office was pushed open, and Ren Wenwen with short black hair appeared at the door: "Team Song, the arrest team sent to Nancheng is back and successfully completed the mission."

"Have you caught those two angel believers?" Song Cheng raised his eyebrows upon hearing this, with a smile on his face, "Are there any other big fish?"

"It seems... not," Ren Wenwen shook her head. "The arrest team has been squatting there for a few days. The two believers seem to be acting alone, or they are standard 'disconnected members'. Their superiors assigned the tasks to them.

After that, the line was temporarily cut off. Do you want to go over and take a look at the situation?"

"...Okay, I'll be there right away."

…

In the bedroom, Yu Sheng fell into a deep sleep.

An adventure in the black forest and a fierce battle with Grandma Wolf consumed too much of his energy. Although he was supported by some inexplicable excitement, he still felt not very sleepy, but as soon as he returned to the bedroom,

Within two minutes of lying on the bed, he fell asleep amid a sudden and overwhelming sleepiness.

In a daze, he felt rustling movement next to him. It might be the puppet who was also planning to come over for a nap. He also heard the sound of barefoot footsteps walking in the corridor, which should be returning to the room.

of beaver.

Then, he heard the hollow sound of wind. The wind blew through the forest, rolling the lush branches and leaves, and then passed through the towering ancient trees and dry and fallen trunks. It whistled hollowly, and seemed to be mixed with vague sounds.

Baby crying.

Yu Sheng suddenly opened his eyes.

He saw that he was lying in the darkness, and the chaos around him seemed to be covered by an extremely thick curtain. There seemed to be something behind the curtain, but he could not see clearly at all. In the darkness in front of him, he could distinguish a

Tall and hazy shadow.

The shadow was wearing an old hunting suit and a dull-colored hood. Under the hood, there was nothing and no body.

But Yu Sheng could clearly feel that there was a line of sight in the void under the hood, quietly falling on him.

He woke up suddenly with excitement, stood up from the darkness, and stared at the figure in the hunting suit.

At the same time, Yu Sheng quickly looked around with the corner of his eye, assessing the situation in front of him.

Have you returned to the Black Forest again? It doesn't look like it... There is no such scene in the Black Forest. This kind of thick curtain is more like my dream... But just now I seemed to hear the hollow wind blowing through the forest again. This is different from the Black Forest.

The feeling in the forest is very similar... There is also another sound in the wind. Is that the cry of a baby?

Is this my dream? Is it a black forest? Or... my "dream" is connected to strange things?

Yu Sheng quickly composed himself. After realizing that he could not tell what was going on here for the time being, he focused on the illusory figure in front of him.

The other party remained motionless, as if he had no intention of suddenly raising the shotgun and firing a shot at him.

"Hello," Yu Sheng said tentatively and greeted the other party, "Should I call you 'Hunter'?"

The figure showed no reaction.

"You must be." Yu Sheng felt a little awkward, but he could only continue talking to the other person. "We met in the dark forest twice - the second time you shot me

, Of course, I don’t care much. You must have your reasons for doing this, right... No, buddy, can you give me a response? You make me very embarrassed. "

The "Hunter" still didn't respond, as if it was just an illusory projection that somehow appeared in this dark space that seemed like a dream.

Yu Sheng frowned tightly. He stepped forward cautiously, observing the other person's reaction, and then cautiously circled around the other person.

"You can't speak?" Yu Sheng asked curiously.

He still didn't get a response.

After a stalemate like this for a while, Yu Sheng finally gritted his teeth and stretched out his hand towards the hunting suit floating in the air.

He just wanted to touch the other person and see how the hunter would react. However, the next second, he found that his fingers penetrated the clothes easily.

Yu Sheng was startled for a moment, and then saw that the "hunter" was still standing blankly. Then he felt a little relieved, became more courageous, and continued to stretch his hand forward.

He felt a slight blockage, which was the real and illusory resistance produced when his fingers penetrated the "fabric". Then, he felt a little cold, as if he had touched a piece of land that was three or four degrees cooler than the surrounding environment.

There is a lot of air, but other than that, there is no special feeling.

Yu Sheng stood beside the "hunter", completely inserting one of his arms into the hunting suit, and then suddenly frowned.

Inadvertently, part of his arm that reached into the hunting suit overlapped with the sleeve of the hunting suit - this scene was like "wearing" the sleeve.

The next second, he saw that the sleeve that was originally just floating in the air like a phantom and motionless from beginning to end suddenly moved. It moved with the movement of his arm. Although the amplitude was very small, it did not escape.

his eyes.

I am "putting on" this dress!

The associations and realizations that occurred in an instant seemed to impact this dark and chaotic "dream". Yu Sheng suddenly felt a violent shaking coming from all directions, and during this shaking, he found that he had withdrawn his arm at some point -

- He saw that the thick "curtain" around him was collapsing, the dark space began to disintegrate, and the hollow and formless "Hunter" in front of him suddenly moved. He stepped back with stiff and weird steps, and almost in the blink of an eye he was already alone.

All that remains is an illusory shadow.

Yu Sheng subconsciously stretched out his hand forward to stop this strange "hunter", but just as he had time to raise his arm, he suddenly heard a somewhat familiar voice coming from his ear——

"Uncle, what are you doing?"

Everything in front of him suddenly disappeared, and Yu Sheng was in a daze for only a moment, and then he saw that he was standing on a boundless, gray wilderness, with a chaotic gray sky covering the field, nameless weeds covering the earth, and a familiar building.

The hillocks stood quietly in the distance, the breeze blew through the fields, and the wild grass rippled.

And a little girl who looked to be only five or six years old was standing next to him, raising her head curiously and blinking at herself.

Yu Sheng's mind was still immersed in the contact with the "hunter" and the scene where he almost "put on" the hunting suit. At this time, he didn't wake up. He stood there for two or three seconds before suddenly reacting: "Xiao

dawn?!"

"Hello, uncle!" Xiaoxiao suddenly laughed and greeted Yu Sheng happily.

"Um, hello... No, why are you here?!" Yu Sheng looked at the little girl in front of him in confusion. As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately raised his head and looked around, but did not see Little Red Riding Hood.

, "Just you?"

"I don't know either," Xiaoxiao tilted her head in confusion, "I'm taking a nap."

"Nap?"

"Well, Teacher Su took us to take a nap. We have to sleep at noon, otherwise we will be sleepy in the afternoon," Xiaoxiao said, "I fell asleep, and then I dreamed that a big bad wolf was chasing me, so I ran and kept running.

I ran, but then I couldn’t run anymore, so I fell...I fell here, and after a while, I saw you coming too, but you seemed to be in a daze."

The little girl's speech was a bit messy, but the basic logic and events were still intact. Yu Sheng immediately understood what the other party was talking about, but his expression was even more confused than before.

Xiaoxiao dreamed of the "Big Bad Wolf". This was undoubtedly the influence of the "fairy tale" on her. She probably fell into the dark forest again in her sleep and was discovered by the wolf, but she said she was running

I fell down while running... and fell into this wilderness? What is this situation?

Yu Sheng raised his head and looked around. Of course he knew where this was. This was still his weird "dream" - but after several strange experiences in a row, he had vaguely realized it.

Is this place... really a "dream"?

Yu Sheng recalled the last time he saw Little Red Riding Hood here. He still remembered that Little Red Riding Hood still stayed in this wilderness after he "woke up" from here. If he hadn't been found sleeping in class and being hit with chalk by the teacher, he would have woken up.

Little Red Riding Hood can even continue to stay here, and this time, Xiaoxiao has already arrived in this wilderness before he entered here...

Various clues indicate that this wilderness is not a "dream" at all.
