Chapter 140: Information that cannot be delivered?
Baili Qing sat behind her desk, her eyes a little vacant—or maybe it was not just her eyes that were vacant.
After a long while, she murmured to herself, "How come he always does something unexpected?"
Song Cheng, who was sitting across the table, didn't know how to respond, so he lowered his head and pretended not to hear.
Baili Qing repeated it two seconds later: "How come he always comes up with something so unexpected?"
"After all... it is an unexpected existence," Song Cheng finally curled his lips and replied with a stiff face, "Anyway, no matter what, the cause of the abnormal space-time dislocation has been found, and the 'characteristic parameters' recorded by the technical department will be adjusted more accurately, which is also a good thing."
"Yeah, that's a good thing - we also learned that he can even open a channel in an abnormal foreign land," Baili Qing shook her head, "Let's not talk about this for now, let's continue our previous topic. What was the conclusion of the sample sent for inspection last time?"
Upon hearing this, Song Cheng immediately adjusted his sitting position and pushed the documents he brought forward.
"This is the analysis report on the hair. We sent the 'fox hair' to three laboratories for independent analysis, and sent the data to various organizations including the Academy. The conclusions... you can read for yourself."
Baili Qing took the document, quickly glanced at the key content, and his expression became more and more serious.
"No matching race has been found within the known universe?" She raised her head and looked into Song Cheng's eyes.
"Not only did we not find any matching races, we didn't even find any 'biological tissues' that matched the microscopic structure of the hairs. In other words, if we were not sure that they came from a 'humanoid creature' that could speak, move, have thoughts and emotions, the analysts would even suspect that these samples were a bad joke on them."
Song Cheng said, pointing to a paragraph in the document.
"The 'substance' that makes up these hairs is not a metabolic or growth product that any known organism can produce. In addition, although it can be determined that more than 90% of its components are organic, it is also mixed with a variety of inexplicable 'inorganic impurities'. The role of these impurities in biological organisms is unknown, and..." Song Cheng was stuck for a while when he said this, and finally continued with a strange expression, "Until now, we have not analyzed what elements they are."
Baili Qing pursed her lips and said softly after a long while: "Why does he always come up with something unexpected..."
Song Cheng wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Well, strictly speaking, this is not something he did..."
"But he was the one who brought the people out," Baili Qing said tiredly, with his fingers against his temples, "What about the other side? Have organizations like Qianfeng Lingshan responded?"
Song Cheng nodded, "Yes, they have joined forces with several influential sects to conduct a large-scale investigation, screening all the fox-like spiritual races, because they took into account that there might be a case of 'time tunneling' in the experience of that 'Hu Li'. The scope of the investigation is extremely wide, and even anything that is related is checked. In simple terms, the situations of 'being rich thousands of years ago' and 'may be rich thousands of years later' are taken into consideration, and are not limited to the interstellar era that has already begun.
"Here is their sample list for investigation. In addition to fox demons and fox subhumans in the general sense, they also include those with only partial beastiality features, such as fox ears, fox tails, and a little fox hair. According to the messenger who came to take over, they even wanted to hold down those with body odor and make them fill out the form before leaving... The conclusion is that they still didn't find a match."
Baili Qing froze while flipping through the documents, and looked up at Song Cheng: "Why did they make such a big fuss? They have never been so attentive when I asked them to help me with something before."
"To put it simply, we heard that there was a fox who could ascend to heaven and earth with his entire clan and that his hometown was full of immortals. Everyone was eager to know who secretly helped the entire clan ascend to heaven without telling anyone else," Song Cheng spread his hands. "You know, the competition in this field is very fierce over there. Although most of the seekers who have entered the enlightenment stage now don't fight over this, the situation in the hometown of the fox described to us by Yu Sheng... is still very exciting for them."
"It's a big stimulus for us," Baili Qing exhaled and put down the document in his hand. "I have grasped the situation. We should continue the follow-up investigation and treat it as a long-term task. If the 'fox' really came from 'outside'..."
She paused and nodded slightly to Song Cheng: "You know what I mean."
"Yes, I understand."
…
On the way back to the east building from the west building of the orphanage, Yu Sheng told Little Red Riding Hood the details of his solo investigation in the dark cabin - including the scratches he found on the floor under the bed in the cabin, and the details of his encounter with the hunter.
Many details surprised Little Red Riding Hood.
"I have dealt with the Black Forest for many years, but I have never suddenly understood so much about it like I do today," she couldn't help but sigh, "Many Little Red Riding Hoods before me were also swallowed up by that 'story' without knowing anything..."
“It’s also possible that they finally discovered something, but they can no longer pass the news to the real world,” Irene said while sitting on Yu Sheng’s shoulders. “Like those scratches under the bed, they were obviously left by a Little Red Riding Hood a long time ago.”
"Those carvings are very interesting," Yu Sheng said, "and I suspect that similar carvings may exist in other parts of the Black Forest, or even... not just in the Black Forest."
Little Red Riding Hood thought for a moment: "You mean..."
"Other 'subsets'," Yu Sheng stopped walking, "are just like the ones you mentioned, Cinderella's ball, Rapunzel's tower... In those 'subsets', things similar to those in the Black Forest are happening, right? Maybe there have been other Cinderellas or Rapunzels who have discovered something at the end of their dreams, but just like the situation in the cottage full of red cloaks... Those who finally discovered the truth no longer had the chance to pass the news on to the real world."
Little Red Riding Hood fell into deep thought after hearing this. Yu Sheng suddenly sighed after a moment and said with some emotion: "Thinking about it carefully, this is quite in line with the rules of childhood."
Little Red Riding Hood didn't react for a moment: "Why do you say that?"
"You write your childhood secrets in a diary and carefully lock it, but when you grow up you can no longer remember the password that once meant so much to you - childhood memories stay at the end of childhood and cannot be passed on to the grown-up self. This happens to many people."
For the first time, Little Red Riding Hood's expression was a little dull: "Is... that so?"
"That's right," Yu Sheng laughed, "So at this time, you need a hateful, disruptive, unreasonable adult to rudely open the book - in many cases, you yourself will become that hateful adult, but since it's difficult for you to grow up, let me do it for you."
"You make yourself sound like a bad person."
"To the fairy tale, I am the bad guy. After all, it doesn't like me."
Just then, a loud noise suddenly came from the corridor in front, interrupting the conversation between Yu Sheng and Little Red Riding Hood.
A group of little kids were running down the corridor, shouting and yelling, and there were even a few half-grown children among them.
Yu Sheng and others looked up and quickly quickened their pace to walk over there.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Little Red Riding Hood quickly grabbed a half-grown child who ran past her and asked with parental authority, "What happened?"
The girl who was caught had a nervous look on her face. She raised her hand and pointed in a certain direction: "Teacher Su fainted! She has been sent to the infirmary!"
Yu Sheng was a little confused when he heard this: "Teacher Su fainted? Why?"
"I don't know. I just heard about it," the girl who looked about thirteen or fourteen said quickly. "It seemed that when Xiaoxiao was playing with other children in the activity room, she suddenly pushed the door open and came in to say hello to her, and then she fainted..."
Yu Sheng: “…”
little Red Riding Hood:"……"
Irene: “Oh my—”
"I really didn't think about this. I was just too happy at the time." Little Red Riding Hood let go of her hand and turned away awkwardly. "I should have sent someone to inform Teacher Su first."
Yu Sheng didn't know what to say, so he could only spread his hands, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "It's no use talking about this, let's go and take a look at the situation."
The group then headed to the infirmary, and when they arrived, Rapunzel had already half-cajoled and half-tricked the children who had come to join in the fun away.
The young council employee was lying in the hospital bed, awake by now, and looking fine except for a bit of paleness.
The girl named "Xiaoxiao" sat on the chair next to her, with her head hung and her neck shrunk as if she had made a big mistake, and she looked like she had been crying.
Yu Sheng suspected that she cried out of fear when her teacher fainted.
"It's nothing serious. The doctor checked and it's just that he was too emotional and frightened." Rapunzel came over from the side. "The suggestion is to lie down for a while. The situation has been explained clearly. There is nothing to worry about. I am also responsible for this. I shouldn't have let Xiaoxiao push the door open directly."
"I'm fine, I'm fine!" Teacher Su, who was lying on the bed, waved his hands quickly, "I was shocked at the time, but now I'm just happy..."
As she spoke, she sat up from the bed and her eyes fell on Yu Sheng.
"I remember... your name is 'Yu Sheng', right? I have something to tell you."
