Chapter 148 Chaotic Morning
Yu Sheng was woken up by a call from Little Red Riding Hood early in the morning.
He opened his eyes dazedly and saw two Irenes, one hanging at the end of the bed and the other lying on the bedside table. Normal people couldn't imagine how these two dolls could sleep like this. The phone kept buzzing beside the pillow. After answering the phone, before he could even speak, he heard the voice of Little Red Riding Hood on the other side, hurriedly saying, "Yusheng! You're dead!"
Yu Sheng was startled and woke up immediately.
His first reaction was that the quality of JKs these days needs to be improved, and his second reaction was to quickly figure out how he had offended that girl - a phone call this early in the morning contained more sand than the sand pit in their orphanage.
But the next second, Little Red Riding Hood on the other end of the phone reacted and hurriedly explained: "Ah, sorry, that's not what I meant, my mind is a little confused, I meant that I saw you die... No, I remembered that you were dead... Not right, ah, this time it's right, I just remembered..."
It could be heard that the girl was really a little confused, but her confusion helped her figure out what was going on. After all, a similar reaction had occurred to Irene before, so he simply interrupted her with two dry coughs: "Cough, stop, stop, you don't have to say anything, I know what's going on. Good fellow, you are indeed separated by a layer of 'evil wolf' during the transmission process, and the delay in taking effect on you is really long."
Little Red Riding Hood was stunned for a moment. Perhaps she was a little at a loss because of Yu Sheng's calm reaction. After several seconds, her voice came again: "You... why are you so calm?"
"Because I knew you would remember this sooner or later. People who have come into contact with my blood will be aware of my 'resurrection'. A similar process happened to Irene and Hu Li," Yu Sheng sat up from the bed and roughly explained the situation to the other party, "... In short, that's what happened. You don't have to be nervous. The good news is that next time you come to visit No. 66 Wutong Road, you won't have to ask me to open the door for you. You can see my house by yourself. The bad news is that the next time you see me die suddenly in front of you, the shock might be a bit great. After all, the 'forgetting' mechanism will not work for you in the future.
"But this is not a big problem. Irene and Hu Li are very used to it now. I am also very used to it. You will get used to it after watching it a few more times."
The other end of the phone was a little quiet for a while. Little Red Riding Hood was probably a little confused again. Her worldview couldn't keep up with her brain, and her brain couldn't keep up with her ears. At this time, the two Irenes hanging at the end of the bed and lying on the bedside table also woke up slowly because of the noise of the phone call. The two dolls raised their heads in a daze and greeted Yu Sheng: "Good morning... yawn."
Then both of them fell to the ground at the same time - after all, they were hanging precariously to begin with.
Yu Sheng reached out and picked up Irene who had fallen from the bedside table. She rubbed her head and was not fully awake yet. She muttered and complained: "You and Hu Li went too far yesterday. You had a barbecue and I could only watch and say nothing. You even roasted me next to the fire along with the meat..."
"Isn't that drying your clothes?" Yu Sheng glanced at the puppet, "Who made you fall into the pot?"
"Then you can't impale me on a pole!"
Yu Sheng thought for a moment and said, "What happened yesterday is in the past. We should look forward..."
Irene jumped up with a roar, but was pushed back by Yu Sheng who held her head down halfway. At the same time, Yu Sheng raised his cell phone and shook it, saying, "Little Red Riding Hood called. She is now 'the same' as you and Hu Li."
Irene blinked and seemed not to understand at first, but after just a few seconds, she guessed what it was.
"…Just took effect?" the puppet asked cautiously.
"It just took effect, and it seems to be frightening," Yu Sheng muttered, "High school students these days really have a poor ability to accept things."
As soon as he finished speaking, Little Red Riding Hood's voice finally came from the phone again: "I don't think this is a problem of acceptance - no matter how strong the acceptance is, it will be like this when dealing with you."
Yu Sheng immediately laughed: "Have you sorted out your thoughts?"
"Maybe," Little Red Riding Hood sighed, and then asked curiously, "How many people know your 'secret' now?"
"Actually, I don't think this is a secret, but there is a weird 'retrospection' mechanism that can't be helped," Yu Sheng said casually, "At present, only you, Irene, and Hu Li know about it - in theory, Xiaoxiao can also know it, because she also shared my blood, but I haven't died in front of her, so she doesn't know it yet..."
Before he finished speaking, Little Red Riding Hood on the phone started yelling, "Don't scare the child!"
Yu Sheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Nonsense, there's nothing wrong with me. I had nothing better to do than to go to a child and die suddenly just to scare her?"
Little Red Riding Hood's voice was somewhat resentful: "What if you want to try it?"
Yu Sheng: “…”
He now doubted what kind of image he had in the other person's mind - could it be that he was no longer a mature, reliable, steady and proper adult?
At this moment, he suddenly felt his phone vibrate again, and then the screen indicated that there was a new call.
"Okay, I won't tell you for now. The Secret Service called," Yu Sheng glanced at the name on the screen and quickly said to Little Red Riding Hood, "Do you have any other information?"
"No, the worst case scenario is suddenly knowing that you're dead. Go ahead and get busy."
Yu Sheng felt that these words sounded awkward no matter how they sounded. Without any cause and effect, they would sound like a grammatical error.
He complained in his heart, then hung up the phone with Little Red Riding Hood, and then answered a new call: "Hello, this is Yu Sheng."
Baili Qing's voice came from the phone: "Is it not disturbing your sleep to call you so early?"
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but Yu Sheng always felt that there was a hint of revenge in the other party's plain words.
"No, I just woke up. Is the lab set up?"
"Yes, the analytical laboratory is ready, and a team of experts is on standby. The information you requested is also ready," Baili Qing's voice was calm and reliable. "If there is no problem on your end, a car will pick you up in thirty minutes."
"Thirty minutes? Sure, no problem."
Yu Sheng hung up the phone, checked the time, then quickly got up, dressed, washed, and took two small combs to throw to the two dolls on the bed: "Hurry up and get ready to go out. We're going to the Special Service Bureau to learn something new today. Oh, by the way, wake Hu Li up quickly, or we won't have time to eat."
The two Irenes sat on the bed and started to comb each other's hair. After hearing Yu Sheng's words, they did not move: "No need to call, I think she has already eaten. I just heard some movement in the kitchen downstairs..."
Yu Sheng spat out the toothpaste foam in his mouth. After hearing what the little doll said, he was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted instantly: "Oh no! The stew I put in the refrigerator!"
"Think positively. It's too late for you to go down now," Irene tried to comfort him. "And to be honest, you left most of the wolf's body in her tail. The ending was doomed from the beginning."
Yu Sheng listened to the long sigh and had to admit that Irene was right...
When he and Irene went downstairs, Hu Li was holding the pot and looking dazed beside the dining table. It was obvious that he had eaten too much and felt dizzy.
Next to the dazed Miss Fox, there was a steaming hot meal on the dining table - all leftovers from last night's "picnic", heated just right with the fox fire.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"My benefactor, I have heated up breakfast, hey." Hu Li smiled at Sheng, feeling proud and happy.
Yu Sheng didn't know whether he should be touched or not - if he was touched, this hungry guy ate most of the stewed meat. If he wasn't touched, this girl who couldn't walk when she saw food even remembered to leave a portion of food for him, and those were obviously the most delicious ones, but she didn't even touch a single bite...
Twenty minutes later, Yu Sheng, who had packed up everything, left the house with Irene and Fox, who had finally woken up. The three of them squatted neatly on the curb in front of No. 66 Wutong Road.
Irene raised her head and looked around at Yu Sheng and Hu Li: "Does this count as the entire organization going all out?"
"Not really. You only came out halfway," Yu Sheng said casually, "but you still left one body at home watching TV."
As he spoke, he glanced at the fox girl next to him and said, "Hu Li, stop putting your hands on the ground. It's not nice to look at."
"You're already squatting on the curb, so why are you still talking about elegance or indecency?" Irene curled her lips. "Why do you have to squat?"
"How would I know? I just squatted down to tie my shoelaces and you squatted down with me."
Irene: “……?”
As they were talking, the clanging and groaning sound of an old broken engine suddenly came from the end of the street, interrupting their conversation.
Yu Sheng quickly stood up and looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a Xiali that was at least seven hands driving towards him unsteadily...
His expression suddenly became subtle.
When the car finally panted and moved to the front, and the window was lowered to reveal Xu Jiali's face, Yu Sheng couldn't help but mutter, "Why is it you again?"
Irene next to him said more bluntly: "Don't you Secret Service have a more spacious car?"
Xu Jiali's face was also a little embarrassed, and she obviously knew what happened to her car: "Well, actually I wasn't originally sent to pick you up. The car that was supposed to pick you up broke down on the way, and I happened to be nearby, so I was urgently transferred here."
Yu Sheng's mouth twitched, and he could only helplessly squeeze in the back seat of the broken Xiali with Hu Li and Ai Lin (the passenger seat of the car was still occupied by the mysterious big box). As they squeezed, he couldn't help but mutter: "How can such a large organization of yours be so stretched? How can the car for field work break down halfway..."
Xu Jiali was also a little embarrassed. After hearing this, she sighed and said, "Ah, there is nothing I can do. My machine soul is not working well..."
Yu Sheng: "Can't you use some high-end adjectives to describe machine souls?"
"This makes it seem more friendly. The styles and preferences of machine souls in different places are different," Xu Jiali explained with a dry laugh. "The machine souls at the academy are more Gothic. When dealing with them, you have to use terms like 'machine soul displeasure' and 'machine soul praise'. That may be more in line with your impression..."
Yu Sheng was stunned: "Uh... what about the machine soul at the border?"
"The machine souls at the border are more friendly..."
