Chapter 87 Snow in the Room
Normally, the loudest noise at No. 66 Wutong Road is mainly caused by the students' rage and the screaming and scratching of the little dolls - now there is also a fox girl watching the fun and crunching potato chips nearby.
Ten minutes later, Yu Sheng successfully subdued and punished the puppet that was jumping up and down and trying to bite people, and hung her on the clothesline on the balcony of the living room.
"Yusheng, you bastard! Put me down!" Irene kicked hard in the air with her arms outstretched. The clothesline passed through her sleeves and hung her on the rack from behind, making her dangling in the air like a dried salted fish. "Temporary ban! Just temporary ban! Just twelve hours, the account can still be saved. You don't really plan to keep me hanging for twelve hours, do you? Don't you feel guilty? At least change to a more comfortable position for me!"
"You will definitely be able to get free by yourself if you use the clips," Yu Sheng sat on the sofa next to him and glanced at the doll lady hung on the clothesline. "I'm hanging you up to teach you a lesson. Don't worry, I'll definitely take you down before dinner - but if you do it again, I'll hang you in the basement."
When Miss Doll heard this, she immediately started to make a scene, showing her indomitable spirit and her resistance in the face of violence and coercion: "I was wrong, I was wrong! I won't dare to do it next time. Put me down, put me down..."
Her main rebellious spirit is that she has no rebellious spirit. Even though this girl is terrible at playing games, swears badly and has a bad temper and a bad memory, she gives in very quickly.
Yu Sheng simply treated the noise of her tossing and turning as background noise and ignored her.
Hu Li came over cautiously, holding a bag of potato chips in her hand. She looked up at the doll hanging on the clothesline, then looked at Yu Sheng. After hesitating for two or three seconds, she whispered, "My benefactor, Irene seems to have really realized her mistake. Can you put her down?"
As she spoke, she handed over the potato chips in her hand: "Eat, and you won't be angry anymore."
Yu Sheng grabbed a few potato chips and threw them into his mouth, turned his head to look at Irene, and then turned on the TV.
The little doll instantly became quiet and began to stare at the TV screen seriously.
"See? She just makes a lot of noise. If no one pays attention to her, that's it," Yu Sheng sighed and said to Hu Li as if he were a person who had experienced it. "This is how it works."
"Oh." Hu Li nodded, not quite understanding, probably because he didn't understand what "rolling meat" meant.
At this moment, a "bang" suddenly came from upstairs, interrupting the attention of everyone in the living room.
Irene, who was hanging on the clothes rack, immediately raised her head and looked up through the floor: "Hey, Yu Sheng, what fell from upstairs? Did the ladder in the corner of the attic fall over?"
Yu Sheng stood up from the sofa and looked towards the second floor with a frown.
"...No, the sound came from the end of the corridor on the second floor," he suddenly whispered, "We have to go up and take a look."
Hu Li, who was standing nearby, stood up instantly and unsheathed his tail with a buzz: "I'll go with you!"
"Put me down too! I'll go with you!" Irene also shouted immediately, "I also heard that the sound was wrong. If something happens, I have to protect you!"
"It's unclear who is protecting whom," Yu Sheng said casually, but he still stepped forward to take the clothesline off the rack and let the doll slide down from the pole to the ground. "Forget it this time, but next time I'll really hang you in the basement."
Irene staggered twice on the ground to stand firm, straightened her clothes angrily, turned her head and made a face at the student.
He had an expression that said, "Although I give in quickly, I will dare to do it again next time, and I will do it right now to show you."
Yu Sheng didn't care. He just stretched his hands and feet, winked at Hu Li, and took the lead to walk towards the stairs leading to the second floor.
When he reached the second floor, he walked straight to the end of the corridor and came to the door of the room where Irene's oil painting once hung.
The door was closed and it was quiet inside, as if nothing was unusual.
But Yu Sheng is now more and more certain that the loud "bang" noise he just heard did come from the direction of this room.
He still remembered that since the last time this room was opened, it had changed from an empty room to an ordinary house with simple furnishings. The only thing in the entire room that could make the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground was a mirror hanging on the wall - but the mirror was firmly fixed, and he couldn't pull it down even with all his strength.
What's more, if it was really a mirror that fell to the ground, there should have been the sound of glass breaking.
Yu Sheng took a step forward, grasped the strange handle on the side of the door hinge, and turned it quietly.
"Don't open it yet," Irene muttered in a low voice, and at the same time opened her hands. Strands of black "spider silk" extended from her fingertips, along the gap under the door, and spread into the room little by little. "Let me check the situation first."
Seeing this, Hu Li next to her also took off one of her ears with a "pop". She put the furry fox ear against the door and moved it slowly like a stethoscope, with an extremely serious look on her face.
Seeing this scene, Yu Sheng couldn't help but mutter, "No, can you two be a little more normal?"
"I'm perfectly normal!" Irene also answered in her mind, "This silly fox is not normal."
"My benefactor," the fox girl said quietly at this moment, breaking the silence. She pressed her ears back onto her head as she spoke, "there's nothing going on in there."
"I don't sense any unusual aura either." Irene also retracted her black thread at this time, "Open the door and take a look."
Yu Sheng nodded, then quietly pushed the door open a crack.
In fact, he himself felt that the fuss was a bit excessive. After all, they were at home. Just because there was a noise upstairs, three people were investigating and guarding at the door as if they were facing a great enemy. It was really a bit strange, but he also knew that this caution was helpless.
After all, No. 66 Wutong Road was a foreign place, and this room at the end of the corridor on the second floor was not right from the beginning.
The door opened, and a gust of residual cold air blew towards me.
Yu Sheng shivered due to the strange cold air, and became alert instantly.
Why was there such a cold wind in the room? It felt like a cold wind blowing from a snowy mountain, mixed with the smell of ice and snow! However, when the door was fully opened, he found that the room was still an ordinary room.
A simple bed, a table and chairs, a mirror hanging on the wall, old floors, faded wallpaper with cracked and warped edges, and simple curtains.
The situation in the room remained the same as before. There were no invaders from another world, nor a big hole leading to another world.
Yu Sheng did not let down his guard. He still carefully paid attention to his surroundings while slowly walking into the room.
Irene followed in and looked around curiously at this room that theoretically "belonged to her".

The little puppet suddenly discovered something: "Hey! Yu Sheng, look at the wall! It's near the door!"
Yu Sheng immediately turned around and looked in the direction Irene pointed.
He saw some tiny white particles accumulated on the floor near the walls on both sides of the door, and there were also a few small puddles of water that were gradually disappearing on the floor.
"…Is it snow?" Yu Sheng leaned over to take a look, and was somewhat unbelievably able to discover that the white accumulations were actually snow, and due to the heat in the room, the snow was rapidly turning into water marks.
Irene looked a little stunned: "...It's snowing in the house? Is it so weird?"
"Look at the shape of the snow. It's as if it was blown onto the wall by strong wind and gradually piled up." Yu Sheng frowned, carefully observing the snow marks on the wall that had not completely melted, and felt even more confused.
Hu Li squatted down nearby, pressed his nose against the wall and sniffed hard, sniffing something carefully.
"The smell of living things," the fox girl said seriously, "This snow comes from a place where there are living things."
Irene was shocked: "You can smell this?!"
Hu Li was quite proud: "Fox, your nose is very useful."
"This is much more sensitive than a dog's nose..." Irene couldn't help but sigh.
At this moment, Yu Sheng suddenly saw something out of the corner of his eye.
He walked towards a table not far away, bent down and picked up a black, palm-sized metal object from the floor under the table.
It was a metal part of unknown purpose, and looked like a diverter device used to connect multiple pipes and valves. It had several threaded openings and was hollow inside. It was not heavy in the hand, but seemed very sturdy.
Irene also walked over from the side. After seeing the strange device in Yu Sheng's hand, she was stunned: "Uh... I guess this thing shouldn't be something that originally existed in this room, right?"
"Of course not," Yu Sheng shook his head. "Just like it doesn't snow in this room, there can't be a strange part here that looks like it was removed from some kind of machine."
As he spoke, he cautiously walked to the mirror facing the door.
The mirror reflects the scene in the room.
But he suddenly frowned.
Because deep in the image of that seemingly normal room, one could vaguely see another image superimposed in the mirror - it seemed to be a cave, not a big one, with heavy snow falling outside the entrance.
