After briefly checking the condition of the TV, Yu Sheng found that the thing was just dead.
A classic situation that occurs when cheap smart devices are used for a long time - Oops, I have been working continuously for two hours and my CPU is smoking/the memory is reporting an error/the power supply is overheating/nothing but I want to die...
Yu Sheng couldn't help but miss those old and durable TVs in his memory. He thought that the home appliances back then were not as pretentious as these smart devices today. Although they had fewer functions, he felt that the various smart functions now were not easy to use.
Where are all the artificial intelligences that look like artificial retarded people...
"Just wait two minutes for the power to turn off and then turn it back on again," Yu Sheng sighed in his heart. He turned off the power of the TV and turned to Eileen and said, "The quality of this thing is not very good. If you leave it on for a long time, it will get stuck."
"Then do you want to change to a new one?" Eileen's eyes suddenly lit up, "Just change to one with voice control. I can change the channel by myself, and I can watch TV even if you are not at home..."
"Are you really embarrassed to make demands?" Looking at this guy who didn't regard himself as an outsider at all, Yu Sheng was angry, "You are staying in my house and I haven't said anything yet. You still want a new TV? You are
Is it money or effort?”
"I..." Irene opened her mouth, her face actually turned a little red, and she hesitated when speaking, "I, I, I don't have any money, but I have been helping you with your knowledge about foreign lands! I am more or less a consultant...
…”
"This consultant's memory is not very good, right? I'm not sure whether what he said is reliable or not," Yu Sheng curled his lips, "If I want you to be my consultant, I have to find an additional consultant to be your consultant."
Irene's face turned red, but she couldn't find anything to refute after blushing for a long time. She could only lower her head and sulk to herself, but she was in a good mood. She recovered after being sulked for three seconds and looked up at Yu Sheng: "
Then when you get me out, no matter how you get it out, I will work to pay you back, and won't you still deal with foreign lands in the future? I can be your helper! I can fight for you...
"
Yu Sheng really had never thought about this - in fact, he had never considered what would happen after Irene really came out of this painting one day. Hearing this, he raised his eyebrows: "Are you sure?"
"Hey, I'm telling you, don't underestimate me! I'm Alice's doll!" Eileen stood up from the chair with her hands on her hips, her whole body shuddering. "Living dolls are blessed.
I can fight more in foreign lands than those so-called investigators and detectives in the spiritual world..."
"Then you press people into the painting, right?"
Erin's eyes turned red instantly (even though her eyes were originally red): "You...you, you, you...you will know when I come out! Don't turn your head!"
"Okay, okay, I believe it, I believe it." Yu Sheng turned around with a smile and waved his hand helplessly.
In fact, he never took this doll seriously from the beginning. After all, she stayed in the painting. Although she stayed at home, she did not eat his rice. The area occupied was less than half a square meter even if it was placed flat on the ground.
Hanging it on the wall is not in the way, it consumes almost nothing except watching TV, and bickering can relieve boredom - not to mention, she has indeed helped herself to supplement a lot of knowledge about the "other world".
As for what this guy said about working to pay off debts or working as a thug after coming out of painting... let him just take it seriously.
The TV screen turned on again. Yu Sheng took the remote control and clicked it a few times to find a nutritious urban drama.
Erin is not picky about TV shows at all - after all, Teletubbies are more interesting than wallpaper.
But at this moment, Yu Sheng looked at the TV screen in front of him and suddenly thought of something that he had never cared about before.
"Irene." He turned back and looked at the doll girl in the oil painting.
"Why?"
"I remember you said that you have been sealed in the oil painting for a long time, right?"
"Yeah, it's been so many years, I can't even remember when I came in..."
"Then how come you know so much about modern things?" Yu Sheng asked seriously, "Do you also know about smart TVs that can be controlled by voice?"
He discovered a flaw in Eileen's words and deeds.
But this is actually not a big problem. There are many explanations to answer this. For example, she learned about the changes in the world by observing the dreams of people nearby. For example, she was hung up in other places before entering this house.
In the homes of modern people - Yu Sheng felt that Irene's answer would probably be like this.
But Irene responded to him with a dull "Huh?"
The doll in the painting seemed to be completely confused by this question. It even seemed like she was aware of this matter for the first time. After staring blankly for a long time, she slowly turned her head: "I...
Don’t know why?”
"You don't know why?" Yu Sheng looked stunned.
"Well, I... have indeed been locked up in this painting for a long, long time. Really, it could be decades, but... I just know what the world is like now, even though I don't
Knowing how I know it, I..."
The puppet in the painting hesitated and hesitated, and in the end it seemed that it began to doubt itself and hesitated to speak any further.
Yu Sheng stared closely at Irene's expression, trying to find a hint of lying on her face.
"Then do you still remember how you were imprisoned in this painting? And what happened before you were imprisoned? Do you remember?" He then asked.
"I... just remember it's a curse," Eileen said hesitantly. "This painting is also some kind of entity. I was supposed to come to solve it, but I was imprisoned instead, but I can't remember the specific process.
, and the things before I was imprisoned... the things before I was imprisoned..."
The doll slowly stopped, as if the fragmented past memories were entangled in her thoughts. She recalled in a daze, and after an unknown amount of time, she spoke softly as if she was dreaming: "I am Eileen from Alice's cabin.
He's one of Alice's dolls..."
She raised her head, her expression uneasy.
"Yusheng, that's all I remember."
Yu Sheng frowned deeply.
At this moment, there were too many things in his mind.
They range from the bizarre to the conspiratorial to the hilarious - but nothing is believable.
After all, he didn't have any evidence or clues to answer the mystery about Irene.
Erin looked particularly uneasy. She hugged the teddy bear tightly in her arms, strangling the stuffed toy until it was deformed: "Am I out of my mind?"
Yu Sheng crossed out any thoughts about the direction of the conspiracy in his mind.
Then he looked up at Erin and added another ten percent weight to the funny direction.
"If you can't remember, don't think about it, at least don't think about it now," he breathed out softly and shook his head at Irene, "Maybe it's because you have been locked up for so long that your memory logic is a bit confused.
Bar."
"Yes, yes?" Irene nodded hesitantly, and then seemed to feel a little relieved.
Yu Sheng: "..."
No, how could she feel relieved after knowing that there might be something wrong with her memory and logic? Doesn't this prove that her brain is really broken?! Did what she just said comfort this guy?!
Yu Sheng had a question mark on his forehead for a moment, but whether he should say it or not, Irene's reaction really dispelled a lot of the doubts that arose in his mind just now.
To be honest, if the doll in the painting really found a perfect set of reasons to explain her "source of modern knowledge", Yu Sheng might be a little more skeptical. Instead, she would have said "Huh?" from the bottom of her heart just now.
"As soon as it appeared, Yu Sheng felt that this guy's entire personality became clear...
Thinking of this, he shook his head and said casually as he walked towards the stairs leading to the second floor: "You watch TV downstairs, I'll go up and catch up on some sleep first."
Eileen waved her hands: "Hey, go ahead."
Yu Sheng left the restaurant and went upstairs. Taking with him the fatigue accumulated in the night valley, he yawned and walked towards his bedroom.
He was indeed tired and sleepy. He felt even more sleepy after eating and drinking. He really needed a good sleep at this time.
However, when he came to the bedroom door, he stopped involuntarily and looked up towards the end of the corridor.
The door that had been blocked by an unknown force stood quietly in his sight.
The room at the end of the corridor was where Irene was discovered by him.
Yu Sheng frowned, his heart moved, and he stepped over there.
When he came to the door, he noticed that the position of the door handle had changed. The directions of the door shaft and the handle had been switched to what he finally discovered was the "correct position" that could successfully open the door.
After hesitating for a moment, he reached out and grasped the doorknob, turning it gently.
With a soft click, the door that had once been unable to be opened was now opened easily like the doors in every other room.
Pushing open the door, the scene in the room came into Yu Sheng's eyes——
Simple and ordinary furnishings. There is a single bed and bedside table against the wall on the left side of the door. There is a wardrobe, desk and a chair on the right side against the wall. The old floor looks a little faded, and the walls are decorated with
With light blue wallpaper.
There is a window above the desk, and bright sunlight pours in through the window, making the whole room appear bright and warm.
On the wall facing the door, where Irene's oil painting once hung, there is now a mirror.
