Chapter 177 Walking with the Wolves

Have you offended anyone before?
Yu Sheng's sudden words made Little Red Riding Hood a little confused for a moment. It took her a few seconds to realize why the other party asked her that. She frowned: "You want to say that this museum thing is aimed at me."
A trap?”
"Don't blame me for conspiracy theories. There are many suspicious things about this matter, but the most suspicious thing is why it fell on you - do you remember the 'sacrifice' in it? If it hadn't been for me, Hu Li and Ai
Lin helped you delay the evil wolf emerging from the shadows for a while, and then you really lost control."
Yu Sheng said with a serious face, "And the reason why you went to the museum and stepped into the white exhibition hall at that time was because you received a commission for a collection, and it was a time-limited commission. As a result, now
Check, this commission is fake...then this 'coincidence' is suspicious."
"It was two angel cultists who caused the sacrifice incident." Little Red Riding Hood's face suddenly turned very grim, because she had always been very taboo about things related to that group of madmen. "You mean, those madmen who follow the Dark Angels specially set up...
Set up a game to deal with me? Why? This makes no sense..."
"So I asked you if you have ever offended anyone."
"...How can I offend someone so that I can be targeted by that group of lunatics?" Little Red Riding Hood frowned, "As you know, I never deal with anything related to the Dark Angel, and I usually only receive it through formal channels.
There are some small and medium-sized commissions, and most of them are from the Secret Service. The Fairy Tale organization is also very cautious in its external communication. We may have competitors in the spirit world detective industry, but we will never expand our enemies.
'superior."
"That's another possibility. You haven't offended the angel believers, but you have the 'value' of being targeted by the angel believers." Yu Sheng thought for a moment, "After all, you said it, they are a bunch of lunatics, lunatics."
The logic of behavior is different from that of normal people. They may think that you are helpful to their 'career', so they take action like this."
Little Red Riding Hood said nothing, seeming to be lost in thought and doubt.
Yu Sheng also knew that his thoughts were a bit wide at this moment, and to understand the motives of the angel believers was not something that could be figured out by just thinking here, so he soon coughed twice and brought the topic back.
"Well, let's talk about the commission itself. What do you know now?"
"I contacted the client directly. Now that I think about it, because I am very familiar with the client, I did not carefully verify the details of the entrusted contract this time." Little Red Riding Hood breathed out softly and said seriously, "I accept it.
The electronic version of the commission document that I received does have the mark and one-time serial number of the Oddities Association, but it was not issued directly by the Oddities Association's docking department, but was forwarded to me by the client using his personal account - before
We've done this before, so I didn't think too much about it this time."
Yu Sheng frowned: "Would a large organization allow such a loophole operation?"
"Of course we won't allow it in principle, but in practice it's hard to avoid it because it's the end of the year, and big organizations like the Oddities Society have very tight deadlines for outsourcing orders, so every time the end of the year comes, those in charge of outsourcing will think about it.
The way is to dispatch the order before the deadline, so that the timestamp of the order can be used to jump in the queue during settlement. After all, everyone is under KPI pressure..."
Yu Sheng: "...Is this such a realistic reason?!"
Little Red Riding Hood was silent for two seconds, then raised her hand and pointed at the nine-tailed fox walking with its tail hanging on the ground.
"Isn't there a very practical reason why your fox drags its tail on the ground and walks around?"
"...reasonable," Yu Sheng reconciled with reality in an instant, but couldn't help but lean on the sofa and sigh, "The world is a huge grassroots team. This sentence is really valuable."
He rubbed his brows, thought for two or three seconds, and raised his head: "That being said, there is no way to confirm whether the initial commission was forged by the contact person personally, or whether there was a higher-level 'internal agent' in the Oddities Association.
, the corresponding record was deleted after the contract was issued?"
Little Red Riding Hood shook her head: "There is no way to confirm, but the Secret Service will definitely launch an investigation in this regard. In any case, this kind of loophole operation is in the audience when nothing happens. Now that something does happen, it will be put on the table.
The countertop must be inspected from top to bottom."
"Then we have to check with the Secret Service later," Yu Sheng muttered, and then asked, "Where is the contact person who caused the accident? What is his condition and what happened?"
"The specifics are not clear yet, just based on what I heard, it seems that he fell from a height, unfortunately hit his head, and died on the spot," said Little Red Riding Hood. "I have already contacted him and will go to him tonight.
A trip home - he has always lived alone, and now he has a nephew there to handle the funeral arrangements."
"I'll go with you." Yu Sheng said immediately.
Little Red Riding Hood hesitated and looked at him: "Do you want to..."
"What if I can still 'ask' something?" Yu Sheng's expression was serious, "Just like that time in the museum, although I don't know what the restrictions are for that kind of 'talking with the dead', but it can be done anyway.
Try your luck."
Little Red Riding Hood thought for a while and finally nodded: "Okay... shall we set off now?"
"Let's go now," Yu Sheng said, standing up from the sofa, and then looking down at Irene, "You and Hu Li can wait at home. I can go alone this time."
Erin immediately stood up and said, "Ah? Why?"
Yu Sheng rolled his eyes: "...do you think it's appropriate for us to go to the deceased's house to inquire about the situation and hold a doll?"
Eileen bared her teeth immediately, showing a very dissatisfied look, but in the end she had to agree with Yu Sheng's reasons and sat back on the sofa: "Okay, I'm at home...then I'll use your computer to type.
game!"
"Whatever - but you must use your own account, and you are not allowed to touch my private files!"
"I know."
After arranging the little dolls, Yu Sheng turned his head and saw Hu Li standing behind him with an uneasy look on his face: "My dear, do you really not need to bring me with you? I can help fight."
Yu Sheng's eyes couldn't help but twitch, and he had to emphasize to Hu Li again that he was going to the deceased's house to investigate this time, and there was no need to fight - it would be okay to fight in the funeral hall, whether with the family of the deceased or with the deceased.
suitable……
Little Red Riding Hood was stunned for a while listening to the exchange between Yu Sheng and Hu Li, and once again gained a deeper understanding of the spiritual outlook of the people in the hotel.
After telling Hu Li that there were leftovers in the refrigerator, and that he could heat them up and eat them when he was hungry, but being careful not to burn or dismantle the house, Yu Sheng finally changed into clothes for going out and went out with Little Red Riding Hood. No. 66 Wutong Road.
During the short stretch from the door of his home to the opposite side of the street, Yu Sheng looked back three or four times.
This made Little Red Riding Hood wonder: "Are you so worried?"
"This is the first time that I have gone out alone and left Hu Li and Irene at home," Yu Sheng said with a hint of worry, "I was even worried that their home would be demolished when I came back."
"That's a nine-tailed demon fox, not a nine-tailed husky," Little Red Riding Hood sighed, "And I think Eileen is pretty steady. At most, she just speaks a little irritably sometimes."
"...It's a shame that you can give her such a high opinion - if you knew what she had done, you would never be able to say this," Yu Sheng sighed, "No one around is watching her stew herself. Can you believe it? And last time she almost set the house on fire, and the first thing she lit on fire was even herself."
little Red Riding Hood:"……?"
"Sooner or later, you will see it," Yu Sheng waved his hand, "Let's not talk about it for now - how do we go?"

The "contact person" Little Red Riding Hood talks about lives in another urban area a little away from Wutong Road, which is closer to the city center and takes more than forty minutes by taxi.
Moreover, Yu Sheng had not been to that place yet - there was no way for him to open the door and go directly to the place without recorded coordinates.
So in order to save time and avoid unnecessary complications, Little Red Riding Hood made a special invitation to Yu Sheng.
Walking with her wolves.
In an unnoticed corner of the street, Yu Sheng looked at the giant wolf in front of him with a somewhat uneasy look, whose entire body seemed to be made of shadows, with an undulating outline.
"Seriously... this thing doesn't bite people?" he said with doubts, "and can this thing really take people?"
"Of course I can bring people with me," Little Red Riding Hood looked helplessly at the nervous Yu Sheng, feeling the simple emotions coming from the shadow wolf even more helplessly, and said with a very complicated mood, "And you are still worried about it biting you? It's already here. Worried about you biting it!"
"How do you say this!" Yu Sheng stared at him when he heard it, "Am I the kind of person who doesn't pay attention to what I eat?"
little Red Riding Hood:"……"
After seeing the girl's reaction and remembering that he had previously persuaded the other party to eat the meat of the wolf's grandmother, Yu Sheng finally became embarrassed, so he gave up the idea of ​​continuing to argue, and honestly imitated Little Red Riding Hood and rode on the wolf. on the body.
"Is it possible? You wolf is shaking. Is it unable to carry heavy objects?"
Little Red Riding Hood turned to look at Yu Sheng, and slapped the wolf's head underneath him: "Coward."
Then she shook her head and simply gave the order to the wolves: "Let's go."
Yu Sheng was originally about to ask how to control the wolf he was riding, and how to jump between shadows like Little Red Riding Hood, but before he could speak, he suddenly felt his eyes flashing.
The next second, the world in his eyes changed.
The colors turned into rich black and white, and the buildings in the city turned into various silhouettes with only outlines. The roads disappeared and were replaced by discontinuous "bridges" between shadow masses. His field of vision a second ago
The normal and orderly scenery in the scene suddenly changed
It was as if it was reflected in a fragmented mirror - then, the city curled up, and the broken and floating buildings turned into a three-dimensional maze in this black and white world, like a chaotically mapped picture scroll, with the distance and size of everything.
It was reorganized in an instant.
