Chapter 117 Help and Difficulties
Song Cheng finally experienced firsthand what Li Lin and Xu Jiali mentioned in the report - when dealing with Yu Sheng, some very logical things would suddenly happen, but you just felt something was wrong. But on second thought, you felt it was very reasonable, but on second thought, you still felt it was crazy - what exactly did it mean?
He glanced at the two subordinates next to him and saw that Xu Jiali was trying hard to keep a straight face and act like a silent macho, while Li Lin was almost unable to hold it back.
"...Um, I want to confirm something," Song Cheng said after two or three seconds, finally breaking the silence, "You mean, express delivery and takeout... door-to-door delivery, right?"
"Yeah, that's easy to understand, right?" Yu Sheng was also a little confused by the other party's reaction, and scratched his hair subconsciously, "You know the specialness of my place. Not to mention that you can't find the specific address, if you don't have enough spiritual talent or are well prepared in advance, ordinary people will involuntarily go around the house even if they come to the 100-meter range. It's more powerful than your node, and no one can get close. If I want to order takeout, I have to leave the address of the nearby supermarket. If I buy a large item online, I have to find a way to pick it up myself. It's very troublesome."
Song Cheng fell silent.
He remembered that they were discussing the "Dark Angel" just now - how did they jump directly from "invaders from outside the world" to the topic of "couriers cannot be delivered within 100 meters of the door"? What the hell did that guy say...
But he quickly came to his senses. After all, he was the one who took the initiative to say "You can report to the Secret Service if you encounter any difficulties." He just didn't expect that this "special entity" living in a foreign land in front of him would actually quickly raise a specific question, and the question could be so down-to-earth. He was a little dazed for a moment.
But if you think about it carefully, the fact that "the express delivery takeaway at No. 66 Wutong Road cannot be delivered" is indeed related to both foreign countries and entities...
"I'll go back and study how to solve this problem," the experienced captain quickly adjusted his expression and nodded seriously, "If it doesn't work, we can set up a collection point here to serve you..."
As soon as he said this, Xu Jiali next to him reached out and patted Li Lin on the shoulder. The latter hadn't reacted yet and was just stunned, looking at his colleague who suddenly patted him with a little confusion.
Yu Shengze suddenly felt a little uneasy: "Well... is this appropriate? Is this too much special care?"
"Not special, not special," Song Cheng waved his hands repeatedly, "Providing convenience to the 'special people' living in the border area is also one of the responsibilities of the Secret Service. In fact, 'fighting against threats from aliens and entities' can only be regarded as a small part of the daily work of the entire Secret Service. For the rest of the time, we are more like the property and housekeepers of the 'other side' of this city. It is normal to be in charge of everything."
In fact, he was not being polite at all. It was indeed one of the daily tasks of the Secret Service to solve all kinds of strange problems for the various strange "travelers" hiding among humans in this city. The only thing he didn't say was that a "friendly entity" like Yu Sheng was too rare even among the strange creatures in the entire border area.
However, Director Baili Qing's instructions before leaving were still fresh in Song Cheng's mind, so he suppressed all his complaints in his heart.
The Director said this -
"As long as he doesn't want to overthrow the border, you should try to agree to any request he makes. Even if he really wants to overthrow it, you should try to explain to him why he can't do it. In short, don't let him call me to complain."
Now thinking of the director's last words, Song Chengdu felt a chill on the back of his neck.
Then he raised his head, looked at Yu Sheng and asked again: "Besides this, is there anything else?"
Yu Sheng thought about it carefully and said, "It seems that there is nothing wrong for the time being... Oh, by the way, I asked you to help check Irene's situation and Hu Li's origins. Have you found the answer to these two questions?"
As soon as he asked this question, the little doll on the coffee table and the fox girl sitting next to him pricked up their ears at the same time.
"Sorry, there is no news yet," Song Cheng shook his head, but he was relieved in his heart - this was at least a business he was familiar with. "We have sent a message to the contact station of Alice's cabin, but the other party has not responded yet. It may be that the guard is not at the border for the time being. As for this Miss Fox..."
Song Cheng hesitated for a moment when he said this, looking hesitant.
Yu Sheng leaned forward: "What difficulties have you encountered?"
"It's not difficult, but it's a bit troublesome - because based on the restrictions of 'demon fox' or 'beast-in-human form', there are too many possible results. There may be hundreds of races in this world that are somewhat similar to Miss Hu Li, but there is not a single place that fits the hometown world she described," Song Cheng said, looking at Hu Li and speaking in a negotiating tone, "So we were thinking about whether we could bring back some of her hair samples. If that doesn't work, we can do a biological comparison to determine her race first."
Yu Sheng glanced at Hu Li, who immediately nodded.
"If she has no objection, then neither do I," Yu Sheng waved his hand. "A hair sample will do, right? There's no requirement for quality, right?"
As he spoke, he casually touched the sofa cushion next to him and extended his hand to Song Cheng: "Is this okay?"
Song Cheng: “…Ah?”
"She normally sheds hair," Yu Sheng said expressionlessly, "It's been cold lately, and she's shedding more and more hair. You don't even need to discuss this with me. Just the time you spent sitting on the sofa, it's enough to just pick some hair off your clothes when you go back."
Hu Li, who was standing next to him, suddenly blushed. He wrapped himself up in a fur ball with his big tails. He looked at Yu Sheng through the gaps between his tails: "I'm sorry..."
"It's not a big problem," Yu Sheng stretched out his other hand and patted the fox girl's tail (he wanted to pat her head, but she wrapped herself up), "Just don't use your tail to wipe the dishes next time, or I'll get a mouthful of hair."
A muffled voice came from the fur ball: "Oh."
Song Cheng stood there with a stiff expression for two or three seconds, and finally reached into his pocket and took out a sample collection tube. He carefully took the few silvery-white hairs handed to him by Yu Sheng and put them into the glass tube very solemnly.
Then he said goodbye and left with the two Secret Service agents.
After their figures disappeared at the intersection, Yu Sheng, who had gone to open the door to see them off, returned to the living room, sat on the sofa and let out a long sigh of relief.
Then I saw the furry fox still poking around next to the sofa.
She simply covered her eyes, leaving only her two feet exposed, and a huge tail ball stood there like an abstract sculpture.
Yu Sheng found this funny and helpless. He reached out and dug through the pile of tails, trying to "dig" the fox girl out: "Don't hide it. Everyone is gone."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The Hu Li finally showed its head, and its tail slowly opened up like a blooming flower. Then, with a hint of apology, it looked at Yu Sheng and said, "I... I will be responsible for cleaning the house from now on."
"Just clean up the places you've been in," Yu Sheng laughed and leaned back on the sofa. "Also, next time you take a shower, don't forget to clean the filter in the floor drain. I noticed this morning that the sewer is clogged again..."
Hu Li instantly rolled himself into a ball of fur again.
This time, Yu Sheng did not forcefully "dig" the girl out of his tail. He just smiled and patted her silver fox tail, then looked at Irene (X2) who was sitting on the coffee table in a daze: "What are you thinking about?"
"I was thinking about those dark angels," Irene hesitated for a moment, her expression very serious, "Tell me, knowing that they are so dangerous, why would anyone want to summon them? Although Song Cheng just said that more than half of the angel believers were converted after being exposed to the "guidance" and can no longer be considered human, he also said that there is still a small number who are actively devoting themselves to those "angels" for the so-called knowledge and power... Why do humans do such things?"
"They are not necessarily all human," Yu Sheng said, "Things like 'seeking death' are likely to happen in every race."
He paused and looked at the puppet with some curiosity: "But you, normally you don't care much about things like 'world peace', why are you suddenly so concerned about this?"
"...I'm not so heartless!" Irene immediately widened her eyes. "I'm a puppet from Alice's House! We usually work very hard to maintain world order, punish evil and promote good, and help others. Don't have a wrong impression of an honest, kind, gentle, polite, fair and upright lady..."
Yu Sheng was stunned by the words of this little doll, and for a long time he failed to apply her last string of adjectives to the grumpy little dwarf in front of him.
This guy is really not very tall but has a very bold face.
But in the end he didn't dare say this out loud.
"I have to go upstairs to catch up on some sleep," he waved his hand and said to Hu Li and Irene, "I barely slept last night, and I'm so sleepy now - wake me up before dinner, and I'll go cook for you."
Hu Li immediately poked his head out from his tail, with a bright face: "Hey! Good benefactor!"
Yu Sheng: “…”
He looked speechlessly at the two funny guys in the house (one of them had now multiplied into two), and finally waved his hand and walked upstairs sleepily.
