Chapter 74 Departure
Hearing Yu Sheng's mumbling, Baili Qing's expression looked a little strange for a moment, but she said nothing. She just continued to observe the man opposite with a little curiosity.
Whether it is answering some questions or helping to solve some minor problems, these are secondary. The most important thing today is the "contact" itself.
She had come into contact with many, many entities, all kinds of them. She had killed them and exiled them. She had also talked to and even cooperated with those strange creatures with intelligence. She had deceived them and been deceived by them, but no entity - no matter how human-like it was - had ever talked to her about these things like now, in this situation.
The "person" sitting in front of her even looked as if he or she might be interested in becoming a spiritual detective or investigator.
Putting aside the thoughts in his mind for the time being, Baili Qing broke the silence: "So, you want to..."
"Can I register a group?" Yu Sheng looked at Baili Qing with a little expectation, "I'm not fighting alone here, there are two of us."
"You mean the doll named Irene, and the 'demon fox' you brought from the foreign land?" Baili Qing frowned suddenly when she said this, "But they don't have legal status in the border area yet."
"Then let's get them ID cards first?" Yu Sheng thought for a moment, then said, "Ah, to get them ID cards, they don't need to have a job first, right? And then they need an ID card to register for work, and then they're stuck?"
Baili Qing was obviously stunned this time: "Of course not, why would you be so worried?"
"Oh, that's fine," Yu Sheng smiled awkwardly, "I've been overthinking."
"I'll arrange it," Baili Qing didn't think much about it. She just silently added "having a certain sense of humor" to the observation report of "Yu Sheng" in her heart. Then she raised her wrist and glanced at the watch. "It's almost time."
"Ah, you want to leave?" Yu Sheng stood up subconsciously, "Then I..."
"Someone will come to you soon to complete the necessary registration procedures for you and your two friends," Baili Qing stood up. "You just need to fill out a few forms. Keep your phone open for the next two days."
Yu Sheng: “Oh…oh.”
Baili Qing nodded, but before leaving, she seemed to suddenly remember something: "Oh, there is one more thing."
"What?"
"Regarding Nightfall Valley, the foreign land you came into contact with before, did you go back to confirm its situation afterwards?"
Yu Sheng was a little confused: "That valley? I haven't been there since then... What happened to it?"
"It's exactly 'the situation is unclear'," Baili Qing shook his head, "So if your 'door' can still lead there, why not go over and take a look."
Yu Sheng couldn't analyze anything useful from Baili Qing's expression, but he vaguely felt that... this matter didn't seem to be as trivial as the director made it out to be.
She specifically mentioned this matter before leaving, which seemed to be emphasizing something.
After a brief moment of doubt and thought, Yu Sheng nodded slightly.
In fact, he didn't want to go to that strange valley again, and he had no interest in dealing with "hunger" again, but from Baili Qing's attitude, he realized that there might be troubles in the valley besides the "entity-hunger".
And in the blink of an eye, the cafe that stretched infinitely forward and backward collapsed quietly before his eyes.
Baili Qing's figure disappeared in the background of continuous collapse. The cafe returned to normal in the blink of an eye. All the sounds of the real world returned to his ears. Everything seemed to be just a bizarre dream - only the little bit of perfume left in the air could prove that someone had really been here just now.
Yu Sheng was stunned for a moment, then looked back around and found that no one seemed to notice anything unusual here. The big test paper of Little Red Riding Hood was still quietly lying on the table, waiting for him to continue working hard.
"This is really like coming and going at will..."
Yu Sheng shook his head, muttered something, and sat down again to continue doing homework for the high school students.
But this time he just couldn't calm down.
Many things from his conversation with the "Director of the Secret Service" were like an uncontrollable whirlpool spinning around in his mind. A large amount of new knowledge about this world was stirring, mixed with many expectations and imaginations about the future and the distance. He felt that he had not felt this kind of expectation in his heart, yet a little nervous about tomorrow for many years.
In addition, there was something that Baili Qing mentioned before leaving - Night Valley, what happened to that valley? At this moment, a voice suddenly came from not far away, interrupting Yu Sheng's thoughts.
"We are back!" Little Red Riding Hood's voice sounded very happy. "Yu Sheng, how much have you written?"
Yu Sheng immediately looked up when he heard the voice, and at first sight he saw the black-haired girl standing next to Little Red Riding Hood.
That is Hu Li wearing new clothes.
The weather had turned cooler, so Little Red Riding Hood bought her a warm white coat and cotton skirt. The clothes themselves were actually very simple, but surprisingly suitable for Hu Li. The plush material at the collar of the coat served as both decoration and windproof, and even reminded people of Hu Li's own furry ears and tail - both were the same silver-white color, simple and elegant with a touch of tenderness.
The fox girl stood there somewhat awkwardly, with a dazed look on her face. She seemed not yet accustomed to the feeling of wearing fitted clothes. It might also be because she had been wandering around for a long time in a place full of strangers and she had not yet recovered. It was not until Yu Sheng waved at her that she suddenly blinked as if awakened and quickly ran over with several large shopping bags.
"Well... Yu Sheng," Hu Li stood across the table a little nervously, remembering to address Yu Sheng by his name when surrounded by strangers, "new clothes, very suitable."
"Yes, it looks good," Yu Sheng laughed. He could feel that the girl was happy, but his eyes fell on her skirt again. "The temperature has dropped in the past two days. Isn't this cold?"
"I'm wearing long johns inside," Little Red Riding Hood said as she sat directly next to Yu Sheng and leaned over to look at the table. "Let me see how much you've written... Uh, it doesn't seem like much."
"Something unexpected happened just now, which delayed us for a long time," Yu Sheng touched his nose a little awkwardly, and then looked at Hu Li and Little Red Riding Hood curiously, "Wait a minute, where's Irene?"
"Oh, here it is!" Hu Li reacted instantly and reached out to pick up a large shopping bag on the ground and showed it to Yu Sheng. "I bought too many things and couldn't hold her, so I put her in the bag."
When Yu Sheng leaned over, he saw the little doll lying in the shopping bag - Irene was lying on a pile of clothes with her eyes dull and the whole bag was filled with the doll's resentment.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The handbag is so full of resentment that it is almost becoming a cursed object.
"Are you okay?" Yu Sheng leaned over and asked in his heart.
Little puppet: "What a big guy! Take me out! I was looking at the ceiling all the way in the mall, and I was still looking at the ceiling when I came out! I put the unfinished drink of Little Red Riding Hood into the bag! I also put the snacks I bought into the bag! I even fell to the bottom of the bag, and they didn't notice! I protested all the way, but this stupid fox was so dizzy from shopping that he ignored me!"
Yu Sheng quickly reached out and took the resentful doll lady out of the shopping bag and placed her on the chair next to him, comforting her in his heart.
Little Red Riding Hood flipped through her homework and turned to look at Yu Sheng with a little curiosity: "What kind of accident did you encounter?"
Yu Sheng did not hide anything, but lowered his voice: "A woman suddenly came to me. She said her name was Baili Qing and she was the director of the Special Service Bureau."
Little Red Riding Hood, who was flipping through the math paper, froze for a moment. After two or three seconds, she turned her head stiffly: "...Ah?"
Yu Sheng looked around and whispered to Little Red Riding Hood, "Is this strange?"
"Director! Baili Qing! That big shot!" Little Red Riding Hood's voice changed a little, but she didn't dare to speak loudly to attract attention. "No, why did she suddenly come out and come to you in person?! She..."
Little Red Riding Hood paused, her expression suddenly a little nervous: "She didn't think you were a dangerous person so she came to deal with it personally, did she?"
Perhaps because she had been shopping in the mall with Hu Li for a whole half day, she seemed much more familiar with Yu Sheng when talking to him now, unlike the obvious nervousness and caution when they first met.
Yu Sheng didn't pay attention to Little Red Riding Hood's change in attitude. He just recalled the conversation with Baili Qing and shook his head: "No, she just came to get to know me. She asked me a few questions, and I asked her a lot of questions - I think she is quite easy to talk to."
Little Red Riding Hood looked dazed, doubting her hearing.
Bailiqing? Easy to talk to? The combination of these two words is really novel.
…
In an office at the Secret Service headquarters, accompanied by a collapse and distortion of light and shadow, a pale human silhouette suddenly appeared behind the desk. Then the pale silhouette quickly took shape and was given a light color, turning into Baili Qing's figure.
She sat quietly behind the table, motionless for a long time, seemingly lost in thought.
After an unknown amount of time, she suddenly raised her head and reached out to press a button on the table: "Notify Song Cheng from the Second Brigade and Luo Zheng from the Confidential Management Office to come to my office immediately."
