Chapter 138 After waking up
The illusory door slowly opened, but on the other side of the door there was only a chaotic darkness, instead of presenting a clear view like when opening a door in the real world or a "normal foreign land".
Yu Sheng did not rush through the door, but first observed carefully and sensed the "connection" of the door.
He had only confirmed that the gate could be opened in the Black Forest, but had not actually passed through it. Now the wolves outside the cabin had temporarily retreated, the hunters had left, the surroundings had become quiet, and even the squirrel had disappeared. Yu Sheng finally had a chance to do his research in peace and quiet.
Just as he had expected, the "door" that opened in the Black Forest was very special.
"Fairy tale" is an abnormal foreign land based on a "collection of stories". As a subset of fairy tales, the "space-time structure" of the Black Forest is obviously abnormal. Here, the power of "consciousness" is unprecedentedly high, while the visitors' bodies are still in the real world. Correspondingly, the "doors" opened here seem unable to be precisely "customized" and "tuned" as usual.
Yu Sheng could feel that this door led to a fixed place, which was his "body", and that body was still sleeping in the west building of the orphanage.
This seemed to answer a question he had previously raised.
After entering the Black Forest with consciousness, if a door leading to a distant place in reality is opened in the Black Forest, what will happen when your consciousness escapes from the Black Forest through the door? Will your consciousness return to your body, or will it really reach that distant place in reality and become a disembodied soul?
Now the answer seems to be certain: in an "abnormal" alien world, or to be more precise, at least in an abnormal alien world like "Fairy Tale - Little Red Riding Hood", the door opened by the state of consciousness can only lead to one's own body in reality.
At least that's all he can do now.
Yu Sheng lowered his head and looked at the wolf leg in his hand - now there was only one last question left.
Can I take the things I got from the Black Forest in my conscious state outside? He took a deep breath, kept the door in the most stable state, and then dragged the body of the big bad wolf across.
There was a brief moment of dizziness, followed by a sudden feeling of falling from a great height, just like waking up suddenly from a deep dream. Yu Sheng suddenly felt his own body and the soft touch coming from beneath it.
He suddenly opened his eyes, and what he saw was... the tail.
And there are fox ears.
He found himself lying in the middle of a pile of furry tails, with two of them even covering his body. The fox girl turned her head from between the tails with a happy smile on her face: "My benefactor! You're awake! I was afraid you'd catch a cold..."
Yu Sheng was stunned for another two seconds before he completely woke up. Then he used his hands and feet to get out from the pile of fur, muttering as he did so: "It's not that I caught a cold, but it's a little hot - I know why you hug your tail to sleep every day, it really keeps you warm!"
A smug look immediately appeared on Hu Li's face.
Irene jumped out from the side and walked towards Yu Sheng while talking nonstop: "She originally wanted to pull out all her tails and pile them on you, but I reminded her that even if it wasn't scary, it would suffocate you. You didn't see it, it was piled up like a grave, and you were lying in the middle so peacefully, as if you were alive - I wanted to find a sign to put next to you, but I couldn't find one. Well, I won't say anymore, Little Red Riding Hood and the others are waiting outside, I'll...ah!"
Irene's words came to an abrupt end here. A huge black shadow fell from the sky and with a bang, it knocked the little doll to the ground and even covered her entire body.
It was a huge wolf.
Yu Sheng quickly got up in an instant and rushed forward in two steps to confirm the situation.
It was indeed the big bad wolf that died during the autopsy.
"I can actually bring it out..." Yu Sheng looked thoughtful, and then he checked his body. Sure enough, he found the dirty piece of paper that fell from the "hunter" in his pocket. While he felt relieved, he couldn't help but wonder, "What's the principle..."
Irene stretched out one hand from under the big bad wolf's body, twitched it twice in the air, and firmly raised her middle finger.
"Yusheng, your uncle!" The puppet's voice was muffled, "Is this the time to study the principles? I'm still holding you down!"
Yu Sheng then grinned and walked forward to pull the little puppet out from under the big bad wolf's body.
His main purpose was to avenge "Lifelike".
Irene jumped up and wanted to kick Yu Sheng's knee, but she was pushed down three times in a row. She could only pout in dissatisfaction: "You are so petty..."
Then Miss Doll decisively forgot about her unhappiness and turned her attention to the big bad wolf with an open mind.
"... Is this the 'wolf grandma'?" She looked at the corpse, which was much larger than a normal wolf, with some surprise, her face full of disbelief, "It's so big, no wonder it can swallow a six-year-old child... The proportions of its limbs are weird, it looks a bit creepy."
Hu Li also walked over from the side, squatted next to the wolf's body, and began to stare blankly.
"My benefactor," after being stunned for two seconds, the fox girl turned her head and looked at Yu Sheng, "I have never eaten this."
"I haven't eaten it either. I'll have to try a few more methods later," Yu Sheng said casually. "The tender meat on the ribs should be stir-fried or pan-fried directly, and the leg meat should be stir-fried or marinated. Anyway, if it really doesn't work, the pressure cooker will work wonders in the end. I just don't know how to deal with the internal organs."
Halfway through the conversation, Hu Li's saliva was already flowing.
Irene didn't say anything for a long time, looking completely dumbfounded. When Eun Sheng was about to start discussing with Hu Li how to eat Grandma Wolf's brain, she finally couldn't help but jump up and said, "You two just naturally started chatting about this? And about this?!"
Yu Sheng was awakened by this, and quickly put away the recipes in his mind. He pulled Hu Li's tail and wiped her saliva: "Yes, we have to get down to business - go call Little Red Riding Hood and the others in first."
Irene looked at Yu Sheng and Hu Li again with great concern, then walked towards the door. However, she stopped halfway and turned her head to look hesitantly at the terrifying "wolf" on the ground.
"Isn't this thing a bit too much of a shock to Little Red Riding Hood and the kid named 'Xiaoxiao'? If they saw it, wouldn't they... uh, have stress or something?"
Yu Sheng frowned slightly.
He knew what Irene was worried about - and to be honest, although this puppet was often unreliable, her worries at the moment were somewhat reasonable.
Little Red Riding Hood might be okay. She has been fighting the wolf in her nightmare for so long. At least rationally, she can control the growing fear in her heart. But for the child named "Xiaoxiao"... maybe the time is not right yet.
After all, he didn't even know what the kid's current mental state was.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"That's right," he exhaled and nodded to Hu Li, "Put this thing away first... Don't eat it secretly! It's still alive!"
In the end, he couldn't help but give one more reminder. After all, if no one was watching, the girl might really take the entire wolf grandmother in - raw, with the bones included.
Hu Li let out an "oh" and obediently came to the huge wolf corpse. Then he pulled off the tail that he usually used to store things and shook it casually - Yu Sheng didn't even see clearly what happened, and the corpse on the ground disappeared.
Irene then went out and called in Little Red Riding Hood and Rapunzel who were waiting at the door.
There was also a little girl who looked nervous and shy, following Little Red Riding Hood cautiously.
It’s Xiaoxiao.
The symptoms of "death" disappeared from her body. The flesh and blood that were once torn into pieces were now completely healed together. Her torn heart and brain seemed to have never been damaged. Vitality lingered in her body. Through the weak connection established by the blood, Yu Sheng could even feel her every strong heartbeat.
As if she sensed something, Xiaoxiao suddenly stopped and looked up at Yu Sheng.
Then in less than a second the child's attention fell on the fox with a lot of tails.
The little girl showed a look of surprise on her face and even let out a small exclamation.
"Everything is settled," Yu Sheng smiled and walked towards Little Red Riding Hood who was walking in front. "How are you two doing?"
"If you ask me about the moment I woke up... I felt worse than death," Little Red Riding Hood's expression suddenly became a little subtle, as if she felt uncomfortable for a long time just recalling the process of "awakening suddenly". "You told me it was exciting, but I didn't expect it to be that exciting."
"It's OK. I can already complain about it. It looks like there's nothing wrong with it." Yu Sheng nodded, and his eyes fell on the little girl who came with Little Red Riding Hood. "Xiaoxiao...right? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"
The girl looked a little shy. Even though there was a weak connection established by blood, she subconsciously stepped back a little after hearing Yu Sheng's words. But soon she walked up again, raised her head, and opened her eyes wide.
"It doesn't hurt."
"Yeah, it doesn't hurt," Yu Sheng laughed and reached out to touch the child's hair, "It's good that it doesn't hurt."
"Actually, I still feel this is a little unreal," Rapunzel, who had been silent, broke the silence, "The wounds on her body suddenly disappeared, as if... nothing had ever happened. Then she opened her eyes and said she had a dream."
"A dream?" Yu Sheng raised his eyebrows and looked down at Xiao Xiao, "What did you dream about?"
“A lot of people,” the little girl lowered her head, her voice so thin it sounded like she was humming, “A lot of people surrounded me, all wearing red cloaks, asking me to run quickly, but I couldn’t run… and then I don’t remember anything.”
