Chapter 30 The Opener

The door of the small supermarket slammed shut, cutting off the scorching heat coming from the scorched earth planet and the sudden murderous intent of the two black-armored soldiers. Yu Sheng stood quietly at the door, a little dazed.
After being stunned for several seconds, he took a deep breath and then turned to look around.
There were not many passers-by on the street, and the occasional person walking by didn't seem to notice anything unusual here. Only Yu Sheng faced the strange scene that hit him a few seconds ago, and now he was still standing messy in the wind.
After being confused for a while, Yu Shengcai slowly turned back and looked at the facade of the small supermarket.
He has been here more than once in the past two months. This small supermarket in the old town does not have many things, but it is complete with basic daily necessities, rice, flour, grains and oils. The owners of the supermarket are a young couple, and Yu Sheng is now with them
It's somewhat familiar.
There is nothing special about the facade of the small supermarket. It is just an ordinary ground-floor shop. There is a large glass window on the street side, which is almost crowded with various promotional information and small commodity shelves piled behind the glass. The glass door
One side of the door shaft doesn't work very well, and the corresponding half door has an A4 paper that says "This door is broken." Through the door, you can see some crowded shelves inside, as well as the boss who is moving things next to the shelves.
It looked perfectly normal. Nothing could be more normal than this.
But Yu Sheng would never regard what he saw just now as an "hallucination" - he still felt that hot, slightly sulfurous breath lingering in his nose.
He almost took a step through, but fortunately, the aftereffects of falling into a foreign land were still there, making him a little nervous not only about the door to his home, but also about any door. He always hesitated subconsciously after opening the door, and
Another reason that made him hesitate at the door was the feeling in his heart the moment he opened the door..."a thrill".
Yu Sheng stood at the door of the supermarket and calmed down. After thinking deeply for a moment, he stretched out his hand again and held the door handle. Then he pushed the door open a little with a little force, and then looked inside again.
It was a normal supermarket inside. There was no one around at this time. The boss was still busy behind the shelves and seemed not to notice the movement at the door.
Yu Sheng stepped back, closed the door again, then held the doorknob firmly, took a deep breath, gritted his teeth as if he was competing with himself, and pushed it open.
A tall woman with blond hair and a silver-white gown stood on a platform opposite the door, turning her head to look at Yu Sheng in surprise.
She is very beautiful, but her ears under her blond hair do not look like humans, but are elegant and slender pointed ears. There are also several shimmering tubes and data cables extending from behind her ears and connected behind her.
But what Yu Sheng was more concerned about was the wheel-like structure extending from the hem of the other party's silver dress, and the mechanical joints behind the other party that were swinging around in mid-air holding various tools.
A voice came from a certain direction on the other side of the door: "...Boss! The customer asked if the ultra-light core sent last week has been repaired."
The blond lady did not respond. She just stared straight at Yu Sheng who was standing at the door. After holding it in for a long time, she finally shouted——
"How the hell did you get in?!"
Yu Sheng slammed the door.
But the next second he pushed the door open again - because he didn't see clearly just now, the person on the other side of the door was an elf? This was the first time in his life that he saw an elf! Is it an elf?! That style of painting is
What’s wrong with not being a TM?!
As soon as the door opened, a child wearing a brown coarse preacher's robe looked at each other in confusion. There was a circle of smoke around the door frame. The child was holding a fan in his hand and was fanning it halfway. His eyes were as wide as if they were about to pop out.
The next second, before Yu Sheng could speak, the boy threw the fan away as if he had seen a ghost, jumped up and down, and ran out shouting: "Master! Master! The senior brother is here! The senior brother's alchemy furnace."
A head can be made out of it! It has a nose and eyes! It can also breathe!"
"I..."
Yu Sheng exclaimed, closed the door hard, and stepped back several steps before standing still.
He looked back at the road again and found that several passers-by were looking here suspiciously - but they seemed to have only seen Yu Sheng's strange behavior, because the door was closed quickly and no one noticed the situation of the door.
Yu Sheng could only quickly adjust his expression, pretending to be nonchalant and walk aside for the time being. After no one paid attention to him, he took a few deep breaths and stood on the street corner in a daze, starting to think about life.
Things were so chaotic and evil that he didn't even know whether he should be considered in shock at this moment, reshaping his outlook on life, or surviving the disaster. He only knew that there were twelve storms in his mind - or two hundred storms.
The two Irenes were beeping at the same time, and all kinds of random thoughts were running rampant in my heart. I couldn't come back to my senses for a whole seven or eight minutes.
But one thing he soon became sure of.
Those on the other side of the door...are not foreign lands.
At least the elf beauty who looks like a mechanical weirdo and the Taoist boy holding a fan are definitely not in a foreign land. As for the two men who were obviously fighting each other at the beginning, the mighty soldiers wearing power armor...
The environment around them is quite harsh, and it's hard to say whether it's a foreign land...
After a long time, Yu Sheng's messy head finally calmed down, and all the wild and turbulent conjectures were forcibly sorted out and suppressed by him. Then he lowered his head and glanced at his hands.
After hesitating again and again, he slowly stretched out his hand and reached to the side——
He was standing at the corner of the street, with only one wall next to him, a bare cement brick wall.
He rubbed the bare and rough wall, shook hands slowly, and imagined... there was a door there.
Just like he found the hidden door handle outside the door of the room where Irene was found at the end of the corridor at home, just like he subconsciously shook his head in the air when he was thrown into the air by the monster in that night valley.
Grab, and pull open the door back to the real world out of thin air——
He touched it, a door.
He couldn't see it, but the door appeared, and he held the handle, and the door began to gradually materialize and position itself. He slowly turned his head with a stiff expression - the door shimmered in his field of vision, as if it was coming.
It can be easily opened in one second.
"What the hell!"
Yu Sheng exclaimed in a low voice, and as he tensed up, he subconsciously loosened his hand, and the "door" disappeared silently on the wall in an instant.
Yu Sheng's heart was beating wildly, as if it would jump out of his mouth in the next second.
He took several deep breaths before calming down. He recalled the feeling of grabbing the doorknob just now and pulled the corner of his mouth.
"Irene." He called from the bottom of his heart, with... a complex emotion and hesitation that he couldn't even explain.
"Hey?" Eileen's voice rang immediately, as brisk as ever, "I just wanted to contact you. You have been out for a while. Didn't you say that the supermarket is at the intersection... You bought too many things?"
Yu Sheng: "...I haven't entered the supermarket yet."
Erin: "Are you lost?"
"I'm just telling you that I won't think about moving anymore," Yu Sheng said, not paying attention to Irene's wild guess.
"Ah?! Really?" Eileen sounded a little happy, but also a little curious, "Why? Didn't you think that something was wrong with this house? Especially when you opened the door, you might not know where it would be 'thrown'...
"
"It's nothing, I just suddenly discovered... Regarding this biggest problem, it may not be the house that's wrong," Yu Sheng sighed, "It seems like I'm the one who's wrong."
Erin: "...?"
She didn't speak, but Yu Sheng could imagine the expression on the doll's forehead with a question mark at this time.
"It's a bit complicated to explain, but you don't have to worry about moving anymore," Yu Sheng leaned against the wall and rubbed his forehead, "If I have a chance later... I'll tell you again."
Irene's curiosity was overwhelming, but she noticed that Yu Sheng didn't seem to want to continue explaining in detail, so she just said "oh".
Afterwards, Yu Sheng ended the conversation with Irene.
He did not reveal the specific situation when he "opened the door" to the other party in detail, not because he was worried about anything else, but mainly because his own thinking was very confused now, and he had not had time to think carefully about many details when he "opened the door" - at that time
The situation was so confusing that he overlooked many details and had to slowly recall and sort them out afterwards.
Yu Sheng decided to wait for a while before communicating with Irene about this matter.
Of course, he also knew that even if he told Eileen, the other party would be just as confused as he was, and then continue to be confused, but in any case, it is better to discuss with one more person than to speculate on his own.
At least that doll has some knowledge in the supernatural field - although not much.
A few minutes later, Yu Sheng walked out of the street corner, cheered up in the gradually cooling night breeze, and looked in the direction of the small supermarket not far away.
After hesitating for a moment, he took steps towards the supermarket.
He decided to finish today's shopping plan first - although the "door" thing was disturbing, he couldn't stop opening any door from today on.
But this time, he was more cautious than ever before when he opened the supermarket door.
He tried to concentrate, sensing every detail of opening the door - from the touch on his hands, to the thoughts in his heart, to the intuitive reminders, even the sound of the wind around him, the shadow reflected on the glass door...
If there were others present at this time, I'm afraid Yu Sheng's process of opening the door would feel like it was in slow motion.
Then, the supermarket door opened.
Chapter completed!
