Alien Hotel

After arranging the matters that the director had asked him to do, Song Cheng returned to his office, lit a cigarette, and looked out the window in a trance.

The maze-like circular walls that were stacked up layer by layer and repeatedly built up stretched out outside the window, extending to the endless distance. Another rainstorm poured out from between the walls of the maze, flew into the sky, and washed the other land above the sky.

Song Cheng was in a trance for a moment, and then 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, it's great, worth looking forward to, tomorrow is a pleasant weekend... overtime day.

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

These are all materials related to the "fairy tales" in foreign lands, and some are intelligence related to the current members of the "fairy tale organization".

Thanks to the recent activity of a certain "emerging spirit world detective organization", the focus of several departments of the Secret Service has now shifted to "Fairy Tale".

Putting the 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 the documents.

The moment the knock on the door sounded, he had already said: "Come in."

The office door was pushed open, and Ren Wenwen, who had short black hair, appeared at the door: "Captain Song, the arrest team sent to South City is back and successfully completed the mission."

"Have the two angel believers been caught?" Song Cheng raised his eyebrows and smiled, "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 temporarily cut off the line after assigning the task. Do you want to go over and take a look?"

"...Okay, I'll go over now."

...

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

An adventure in the Black Forest and a fierce battle with the wolf grandmother consumed too much of his energy. Although he was supported by some inexplicable excitement, he didn't feel very sleepy all the time, but as soon as he returned to the bedroom and lay on the bed for less than two minutes, he fell asleep in a sudden and irresistible sleepiness.

In a daze, he felt a rustling sound beside him. It might be the puppet who was going to take a nap. He also heard the footsteps of barefoot people walking in the corridor. It should be Hu Li who was returning to the room.

Then, he heard the hollow sound of wind. The wind blew through the forest, rolling up the lush branches and leaves, and passed through the towering ancient trees and the dry fallen tree trunks, whistling hollowly, and there seemed to be a faint cry of a baby in the middle.

Yu Sheng suddenly opened his eyes.

He saw that he was lying in the dark, and the surroundings seemed to be covered by a very thick curtain. There seemed to be something behind the curtain, but he couldn't see it clearly. In the darkness in front of him, he distinguished a tall and hazy shadow.

The shadow was wearing an old hunting suit and a dark hood. There was nothing under the hood, without a 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 with a start, stood up from the darkness, and stared at the figure in hunting clothes.

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

Was he back in the Black Forest again? Not really... There was no such scene in the Black Forest. This heavy curtain was more like his dream... But just now he seemed to hear the hollow wind blowing through the forest again, which was very similar to the feeling in the Black Forest... There was another sound in the wind, was it the cry of a baby?

Is this his dream? Is it the Black Forest? Or... is his "dream" connected to something weird again?

Yu Sheng quickly calmed down, and after finding that he could not judge what was going on here for the time being, he focused on the illusory figure in front of him.

The other party did not move, and did not seem to suddenly raise the shotgun to shoot him.

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

The figure did not respond.

"You must be it," Yu Sheng felt a little awkward, but he could only continue to talk to the other party, "We met in the Black Forest, twice - you shot me the second time, of course, I didn't care much, you must have your reasons for doing so, right... Hey, no, buddy, can you give me a response? You make me embarrassed."

The "Hunter" still did not respond, as if it was just an illusory projection, somehow appearing in this dark space that seemed like a dream.

Yu Sheng frowned tightly, he stepped forward cautiously, observing the other party's reaction at the same time, and then carefully circled around the other party.

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

He still didn't get a response.

After a stalemate for a while, Yu Sheng finally gritted his teeth and reached out to 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. The air is fresh, but other than that, there is no special feeling.

Yu Sheng stood beside the "hunter" like this, fully 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 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 instant associations and realizations 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 the thick "curtain" around him crumbling, the dark space beginning 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. An illusory shadow remains.

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 trance for only a moment, and then he saw that he was standing on a boundless, gray wilderness, with a chaotic gray sky covering the wilderness, nameless weeds covering the earth, and a familiar building. The hills stand quietly in the distance, the breeze blows through the fields, and the wild grass ripples.

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.

"Uh, 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 he didn't see Little Red Riding Hood. The figure said, "Are you alone?"

"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... and I fell here. Then after a while, I saw you coming, but you seemed to be in a daze. "

The little girl's words were 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 stumbled while running...and fell into this wasteland? What's going on?

Yu Sheng looked up 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 sleeping in class and was discovered by the teacher hitting him with chalk, 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.

This is a "place", a consciousness space, or something else. It has always existed, but when you dream... there is a high chance that you can come here.
