Alien Hotel

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 Baili Qing 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 Irene followed over very 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 there is still a chance 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 the little puppet mentioned was exactly what he had 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 is obviously more like running to kill 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 "I didn't know theoretically that I would be able to carry the bullet alive into the real world."

"So 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."

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, "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 divers 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. Putting an end to this outrageous thought, he said: "That's right. The process of getting it is quite tortuous, but it does belong to the 'Hunter', 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 other party didn't know that he was incapable of death, so he could only deal with it. "It's just a little scratch, and I always feel that the other party 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 little dangerous, but it's worth another try. I've made some progress. I'll sort out what happened last night and send it to you. You have a lot of think tanks there, so help me analyze it and see if there are any details I missed," Yu Sheng said quickly, without giving 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 know what I mean."

"... I understand. The Secret Service will do its best to assist. If you need anything, please contact me at any time."

The phone was hung up, and Yu Sheng leaned against the cupboard and took a deep breath.

"My benefactor," Hu Li's voice came from the stove, interrupting Yu Sheng's messy thoughts, "The noodles are cooked, do we need to rinse them with cold water?"

"Yes, rinse them with cold water," Yu Sheng shook his head quickly, and when he looked at Hu Li who was full of expectation, his irritability gradually dissipated unconsciously, and a smile appeared on his face, "Then we will prepare to eat."

...

The children were lining up in front of the sink, washing their hands and faces in order, and the children who had washed their hands sat at the dining table early, waiting for the "parents" to help serve the 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 bored expression on her face.

Rapunzel passed by, carrying a large bucket of vegetable soup just from the kitchen. When she passed in front of Little Red Riding Hood, she looked up curiously at the latter: "Hey, you are not still angry with me, are you?"

"Do I look like I am angry?" Little Red Riding Hood felt a little puzzled.

"Anyway, you look serious," Rapunzel nodded, "I owed you twenty dollars last time, and you just did that."

The corner of Little Red Riding Hood's mouth 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, and you suddenly sat up and vomited in the middle of the night, and then you were sulking there, what happened?"

"...Nothing, I just suddenly realized that I'm actually quite afraid of my birthday next month - but I'm looking forward to that day for some reason," Little Red Riding Hood was silent for a few seconds, exhaled lightly, and waved to the other party, "Okay, don't waste time with me here, if you don't send the soup over, the children will make a fuss."

"Oh..."

Rapunzel walked away with the soup bucket, and Little Red Riding Hood's eyes involuntarily followed the direction of the other party's departure, looking at the long table.

Children of all ages sat there, chatting and playing.

Several adults in the uniforms of the council employees stood at the kitchen door. They looked over here with complicated smiles on their faces.

Xiaoxiao had fully recovered her spirit. She was very shy two days ago and didn't dare to speak loudly to others in the orphanage. Now she seemed to have her own friends. She was describing a strange dream she had with a serious face to the child sitting next to her - it seemed to be a dream that had nothing to do with the Black Forest. It was a bit weird, but ordinary and peaceful.

Other children who often had nightmares seemed to envy the scene described by Xiaoxiao. Several children were attracted to it.

Little Red Riding Hood raised her head and squinted slightly at the gradually warming sunlight pouring in from the window.

…

The phone received a message notification sound. Baili Qing opened it and saw that it was a message from Yu Sheng.

The message described a bold adventure in the Black Forest, a thrilling experience of a head-on confrontation with the "wolf grandmother", and what happened during a brief contact with the hunter.

There were also many personal speculations by Yu Sheng, as well as some information related to the current situation of the Black Forest that had never appeared in the investigation report before.

The text was very long, and it was obviously forwarded after being edited on the computer - many details were written clearly.

Baili Qing stood in front of the French window, carefully reading this "report" that she didn't know whether it could be considered a report, and couldn't help muttering: "It's worthy of being a novelist..."

A pair of eyes quietly appeared outside the French window behind her, and a mechanical voice sounded in her mind: "The words are very beautiful?"

"No, I mean that it is much easier to understand what he wrote than to listen to him speak," Baili Qing sighed, "At least it's not so... unreactable."

The illusory eyes blinked, and then looked at the text on the phone carefully with Baili Qing.

A moment later, Baili Qing dialed a number.

Song Cheng's voice came from the phone: "Director?"

"Arrange an extra deep-diving squadron in the headquarters. It doesn't need to be dispatched for the time being, but it must be ready to perform tasks at any time," Baili Qing said lightly, "The large deep-diving pool in the D2 diving port should be prepared from now on."

"Yes," Song Cheng responded immediately, but subconsciously a little confused, "Director, what happened?"

"In case of emergency," Baili Qing said, "...the 'core' of the fairy tale may really be dug out this time."
