Chapter 144 This door cannot be opened from this side
Little Red Riding Hood seemed to be in a very good mood. If someone who knew her well saw the expression on her face at that moment, they would probably be surprised - she hadn't been so relaxed for a long time.
But she still refuted Yu Sheng seriously: "I will be eighteen years old next month, you can't treat me like a child."
"You are still a child if you are under 18. I will treat you as an adult after your 18th birthday," Yu Sheng raised his eyebrows, "don't forget to save a piece of cake for me then."
As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Li, who was carefully observing the chicks, raised his head and said, "I want one too!"
It turned out that Yu Sheng and Little Red Riding Hood had been chatting here for a long time, and the fox girl only heard this key sentence.
Little Red Riding Hood smiled, a bright smile, and then she bared her teeth at Yu Sheng and Hu Li - like a naughty wolf cub: "Okay, when the time comes, you have to come to celebrate my birthday even if it rains knives from the sky. Whoever doesn't come is a puppy."
Yu Sheng grinned, took out his mobile phone and clicked the one-click report button, then turned sideways and casually opened a door leading to the orphanage.
The illusory door that was flickering with light opened silently, and opposite the door was an empty corridor in the west building of the orphanage.
"Xiaoxiao! Long hair! Let's go home!" Little Red Riding Hood came to the edge of the platform and shouted to the two children, one big and one small, who were still playing happily on the grass, "It will be dark soon!"
Rapunzel brought Dawn back to the platform, but the latter was still looking at the place reluctantly.
"I haven't had enough fun yet," the little girl said with a flat mouth, "Can you come next time?"
"Of course," Yu Sheng nodded immediately, "I can come to visit you often in the future, and maybe one day I can even leave a door at your orphanage."
"Well, don't take it so seriously," Rapunzel said with an embarrassed expression, "This is too troublesome..."
"No problem, it's actually my recent research project," Yu Sheng said calmly, "If you have any activities like organizing outings for children or sketching for older children, you can come to me. My valley doesn't have anything else but spacious space - those so-called parks in the city are definitely not comparable to mine."
Little Red Riding Hood thought for a long time, but still felt that putting the words "outing" and "foreign land" together was a bit too weird.
But she's used to it.
The guests left.
"I don't like human cubs," Irene walked over angrily. After adjusting her skirt, she grabbed Yu Sheng's pants and climbed up while muttering, "You're so noisy, and you always say a lot of boring things and do a lot of boring things. I don't know what's so fun about chasing around on the grass..."
"But I saw that you had a lot of fun playing with that kid in the second half," Yu Sheng smiled and turned to look at Irene who had climbed onto his shoulders, "and you have the nerve to criticize others for making such a fuss?"
Irene thought about it, then held Yu Sheng’s head and started chewing it.
But Yu Sheng pulled it off with one hand.
"What are we going to do next? Go home?" Irene was held by Yu Sheng's collar and dragged in the air. She asked casually with a habitual look on her face, "It's not time for dinner yet."
Yu Sheng shook his head: "No hurry, I still have some...'experiments' to do, but I have to call Baili Qing first."
As he spoke, he took out his cell phone under Irene's puzzled gaze, then he sorted out his thoughts and dialed the number that had been bothering him recently.
The other party answered the call quickly this time: "Hello? Mr. Yu?"
"Ahem, it's me," Yu Sheng cleared his throat, "I'm sorry, things are a bit chaotic here today, I just remembered to call you."
"It's okay, what do you want to say?"
Baili Qing's tone was very calm, as if she had forgotten the "iron face" during their last call.
"Two things. First, didn't I tell you that I would like the Secret Service to help identify something tomorrow? One of the things is something I found in the Fairy Tale - Black Forest," Yu Sheng said, recalling the "suggestion" that Teacher Su had given him. "I would like to apply to review some information... about 'Fairy Tale'."
There was silence on the other end of the line for two seconds, and then Baili Qing's voice came: "These are the files from when the Secret Service was centrally managing the early victims of 'Fairy Tale' and conducting early explorations of the 'Fairy Tale' foreign land, right?"
"You guessed it," Yu Sheng exhaled, "It's that batch of information, about seventy years ago."
"I guessed it after I knew about your actions today," Baili Qing said calmly, "I'm just a little curious, why are you suddenly interested in this matter... Is it because of the spiritual detective named 'Little Red Riding Hood'?"
"She was the cause, but the main reason was that I wanted to take care of it," Yu Sheng said, "I have a lot of complaints about this foreign land right now. If I leave it alone, I won't be able to make sense of it. Is this reason enough?"
"Sufficient," Baili Qing replied immediately, "I can arrange it. Someone will pick you up tomorrow. Before that, the identification and analysis laboratory and archival materials will be prepared for you."
Yu Sheng knew that Baili Qing would most likely agree, but he didn't expect that she would agree so readily. He was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted: "Ah, thank you very much."
The voice on the other end of the phone remained calm: "It's just a piece of cake. What's the second thing?"
"Well, the second thing is not troublesome, but it is a bit annoying..." Yu Sheng suddenly felt a little embarrassed when he said this, "I am going to do some 'experiments' later."
"experiment?"
"The door-opening experiment," Yu Sheng said, and added, "may happen more often, in more innovative ways, but it's hard to say how big it will be, and it won't last long. I'm thinking the one-touch reporting function on my phone may not be enough, so I'll have to give you a call."
There was silence on the other end of the receiver.
Irene (who had been put on the ground by Yu Sheng at this time) immediately began to mutter: "Swearing, swearing in my heart!"
"No problem," Baili Qing's voice came over the phone. Although it still sounded calm, perhaps because there was a chattering puppet next to her to create an atmosphere, Yu Sheng always felt that the director was biting her back teeth when she spoke. "I'll notify the monitoring team to block the global automatic alarm and switch to manual recording. Call me when you're done over there."
The phone call was hung up, and Yu Sheng lowered his head and looked at the little doll who was standing with his hands on his hips and his head raised with a righteous look.
"She must have cursed just now! My spiritual intuition tells me so!"
Then she paused and looked curious again: "What are you going to experiment with?"
Yu Sheng took a deep breath, his hand already stretched out in the air: "First, let's see if we can open a door to the Black Forest from the outside."
The illusory door quickly took shape in his hands, and the simple door emitting a faint light trembled slightly in the air.
Yu Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly, recalling the "frequency" he had recorded in the Black Forest, assigned it to the door in front of him, and then carefully opened the door.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The next second, the door shattered silently.
Irene and Hu Li looked at this scene and exclaimed softly at the same time.
Immediately afterwards, a strong sense of dizziness suddenly hit Yu Sheng, and he immediately covered his head and took half a step back.
"My benefactor!" Hu Li rushed over and wrapped his tail around Yu Sheng's body. "Did the magic backfire?!"
"It's okay, I just felt dizzy for a moment." Yu Sheng stood up, feeling the dizziness in his head gradually fade away, and waved to Hu Li and Irene, "I failed to open the door... It's the first time."
"How could this fail?" Irene was stunned and looked at Yu Sheng with some worry, "Hey, are you really okay?"
"It's really okay." Yu Sheng pulled the corner of his mouth, struggled out of Hu Li's tail, exhaled softly, looked at the place where the door was broken just now, and couldn't help frowning and thinking.
"It shouldn't be like this," he muttered to himself after a moment, "I can open the door from the Black Forest and return to the outside world, so why can't I go to the Black Forest from the outside?"
Erin thought for a moment and muttered, "Because 'this door can't be opened from this side'?"
Yu Sheng felt a chill when he heard this: "Don't say that, I'm allergic to it!"
"Could it be because this valley is part of the benefactor's 'cave residence'?" Hu Li also thought hard and spoke unconfidently, "After all, this is not the normal 'real world', right? Could it have this kind of influence?"
Irene's eyes lit up: "Hey, silly fox, your brain can work sometimes!"
"What Hu Li said makes sense," Yu Sheng nodded, "Let's go 'outside' and try."
As he spoke, he had already opened a door leading to an empty alley near No. 66 Wutong Road.
A moment later, Yu Sheng sat on the curb near his home in a daze, and the electric poles on the opposite side seemed like double images.
Even the tall, thin figure standing next to the electric pole had three heads.
It turns out that the failure of the door opening process has nothing to do with whether you are in the real "real space". As long as you try to open the door directly from the "outside world" and enter the "Black Forest", you will encounter problems.
In frustration, the group returned to the valley.
"It looks like it's impossible," Irene sat on Yu Sheng's shoulders, holding her cheeks with both hands, "You can only open the door from the Black Forest to go out, you can't open the door from the outside to enter the Black Forest. The only way to go in is through the 'dream' - I think this is related to the fact that the Black Forest is essentially a 'consciousness space', just like you can wake up from a dream, but it's unreasonable for you to 'walk' directly from the real world into the dream..."
Yu Sheng didn't say anything.
As he listened to Irene's analysis, similar conjectures were running through his mind.
But he always felt something was wrong.
The "unidirectionality" of the Black Forest... is it really because of this? Is it really because it is a pure "consciousness space"? Then what about the "wolf grandmother" he brought out of the Black Forest and the piece of paper?
