Chapter 95 Transfer
"Didn't you say these things won't attack us?" During a thrilling confrontation, Yu Sheng narrowly avoided a "plastic" baton that passed by his eyes. At the same time, he turned his head and shouted to Little Red Riding Hood who was directing the wolf pack to launch a counterattack.
The baton in the plastic security guard's hand hit the wall next to him, accompanied by a series of dazzling sparks and the sound of iron hitting stone.
Yu Sheng turned around and grabbed the plastic security guard's arm, pressed him to the ground, and then broke his arm with great force, but he did not break it in half or twist off its head as he did before.
Because in the brief encounter he noticed a pattern - once these plastic dummies were really beaten into pieces, or the damage reached a certain level, their "repair" would be triggered immediately, and they would be back to normal in a few seconds. On the contrary, simply breaking their limbs and crippling them could greatly reduce the threat of these things, and would not trigger the repair.
“I don’t know what’s going on!” Little Red Riding Hood fought and retreated with the wolf pack, and stood firm in a corner of the exhibition hall. While resisting the “entity-security guards” that kept rushing in, she shouted quickly, “I can be sure that we didn’t violate the museum’s rules along the way. Under normal circumstances, these security guards shouldn’t show up!”
Yu Sheng opened his mouth and was about to say something, but suddenly he heard another burst of hurried footsteps coming from the corridor at the end of the exhibition hall.
Funny, staggering figures ran out of the passage one after another.
Irene's black "spider silk" had just trapped the two plastic dummies that rushed over. Before she could catch her breath, she heard a noise coming from the direction of the passage. She turned her head and took a look, and immediately exclaimed in fear: "Fuck... Still coming!? These entities are generated infinitely?!"
"Generate infinitely - until the night show is over, or all the actors are dead," Little Red Riding Hood said quickly, "or find a way to get out of the sight of all the security guards, which can temporarily prevent the museum from sending more security guards - they will actively move to find intruders only when they are just generated. Once the intruder disappears from their sight, they will stop moving. Conversely, as long as they can still see you, more entities will continue to appear around you!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Sheng immediately looked up and looked at the only door leading to the outside in the exhibition hall besides that passage.
However, that door had been occupied by a plastic dummy, and there was neither a blind spot nor a gap to break out of the entire exhibition hall.
We can't continue to dwell here.
"Retreat first! Retreat to a place without 'security guards'!" Yu Sheng thought quickly, shouted to the others, and then ran quickly towards Little Red Riding Hood and the wolf pack, "Everyone come closer to me - Hu Li, clear a place! Block that passage temporarily!"
The fox immediately agreed, and then with a "buzz" sound, its fox tail suddenly bloomed.
Large patches of strange and dangerous fox fire burned around her tail, and the flames spread like a ring, roasting several nearby plastic dummies and quickly deforming them. Then the fox girl turned around abruptly - her two silver-white tails suddenly burst out with a strong propulsion flash, broke away from the fox's body, and flew towards the passage not far away with a roar and a scream.
"Fox Radish Missile!" Hu Li shouted loudly with great momentum.
Before he could finish his words, a violent explosion occurred in the passage. Even with the solidity of the "foreign land", the whole building shook violently under the impact of the two tails of the big monster. A corner of the hall was collapsed by the explosion, and the walls near the passage collapsed, completely burying the gap from which the "security guards" continued to pour out.
But just in the next second, the collapsed areas began to tremble violently, and the steel bars and concrete began to wriggle as if they had life, trying to return to their original state, while hands and feet in security uniforms suddenly stretched out from between the collapsed bricks and stones. The tattered plastic dummies struggled, broke free from the burial in a horrifying manner, and continued to move into the hall.
But for life, these few seconds are enough.
He carried Irene on his shoulders and stretched out his hand to pull open a flickering illusory door: "Go this way!"
To him, there was no such thing as a siege or an encirclement without a gap. He might not be able to defeat it by fighting, but he could definitely escape by running.
With trust in life, Little Red Riding Hood led the wolf pack through the door without hesitation. Then Hu Li also retreated. Before entering the door, she hugged one of her tails and aimed the tip of her tail at the remaining "entity-security guards" in the hall that were still rushing in frantically. Groups of small fox fire shot out from the tip of her tail like machine gun bullets: "Da da da da da——"
"Fox carrot machine gun!" The fox girl said quickly while holding her tail and shooting. She took the time to turn her head and look at Yu Sheng.
Yu Sheng: "What a shitty name! Hurry up and get in!"
Hu Li immediately let out an "Oh", held his tail and fired one last burst of bullets into the hall. After completing the fire suppression, he turned around and jumped into the gate.
Yu Sheng also prepared to go through the gate with Irene.
But at this moment, a plastic dummy that had been hiding in the blind spot of Hu Li's shooting suddenly crawled up from the side - its body was deformed and twisted due to the burning of the fox fire, and its strangely stiff face was wrinkled and twisted due to the high temperature, as if it had an angry look. It dragged its deformed hands and feet, pounced over and grabbed Yu Sheng's ankle.
The force is as strong as hydraulic pliers.
Yu Sheng didn't care and dragged the twisted plastic dummy across the gate, cutting off the passage before the latter could follow.
The plastic dummy's arm was instantly cut off by the door.
The surroundings became quiet. The frantic rush of security guards, the explosion of the Fox Radish missiles, and the collapsed and burning hall seemed like a distant illusion.
But Yu Sheng has gradually become familiar with this: every time he crosses the "door", he has a sense of unreality as if the environment has changed drastically, and this has happened more than once or twice.
He looked up and saw spacious corridors on both sides. Glass cabinets storing regular collections were lined up on both sides of the corridor. Little Red Riding Hood was observing the surroundings vigilantly. Seven or eight shadowy wolves were loitering in the air around her. Hu Li was holding a tail in each hand, alert to the movement at the end of the corridor, looking in the same posture as the dual-wielding Barrett.
Those "security guards" did not chase after them, and no new entities were generated in the surrounding air - just as Little Red Riding Hood said, as long as they could escape the sight of all the security guards at the same time, the museum's "hunt" would temporarily stop.
"This is the corridor we walked through before," Little Red Riding Hood broke the silence, "I thought you would just open the door and leave the museum."
"Then it means that you have gone tonight for nothing - the blockers, inducers and other drugs you took before coming here are also wasted. From what you said, they should be quite expensive," Yu Sheng exhaled, "and don't you find it strange? Why did those security guards suddenly attack people? This is different from the information you had before. Something must have happened in this museum. I feel uneasy if I don't investigate..."
"Under normal circumstances, the most prudent option is to find a way to evacuate as soon as possible once you discover that there are unknown changes in the alien domain," Little Red Riding Hood glanced at Yu Sheng, but then changed her tone, "But you are right, then... it would be a waste of time. If the risks are controllable, continuing to investigate the changes in the alien domain can sometimes yield great rewards."
"Well, if the situation is really bad, let's just go out of here." Yu Sheng nodded, and then his eyes fell on Hu Li beside him.
The fox girl gave him a smug smile, obviously feeling very satisfied with her performance in the sky blue exhibition hall.

"...You showed off your skills, not bad," Yu Sheng had to praise you, but he couldn't help but complain, "It's just that skill of yours...how come it suddenly has a name? Who gave it to you?"
"Erin," Hu Li said happily, betraying his friend without hesitation, "I described to her the various uses of my tail, and she gave me a lot of names! I still have a trick I'm developing, called Fox Carrot Charge..."
Yu Sheng turned his head and looked at Irene on his shoulder before the other party finished speaking: "I knew there was no one else - what a crappy name you gave it!"
"I've been thinking about it carefully for a long time, how come the name is ruined!" Irene was a little tired from continuously using her abilities a second ago, but now she stood up straight, put her hands on her hips and said confidently, "Look at her tail, isn't it image-based? I also used a very clever homophonic pun..."
Then she muttered softly: "In fact, at the beginning, Silly Fox and I were discussing whether to call the trick of continuously firing fox fire "Fox Carrot Biu"... but then we felt that it was not formal enough..."
The veins on Yu Sheng's forehead were throbbing.
But he quickly comforted himself: At least I didn't call you Foxtail Biu...
Little Red Riding Hood stood quietly by, watching the strange scene in front of her and listening to the communication between Yu Sheng and the puppet and the fox demon.
...weird, absurd, and outrageous, yet it seems to have its own logic.
Everything was out of tune with the surroundings.
They didn't look like spirit detectives on an alien mission, but they weren't ignorant rookies out for a stroll. On the contrary... She could tell they were serious.
Yu Sheng was very serious, the puppet who was arguing about whether "fox carrot" was a clever pun was also serious, and even the confused fox demon was very serious. They took this place, the things they did here and the situations they faced very seriously, but... they used a way of thinking and attitude that normal people would not have.
From the perspective of a "normal human being", it is difficult for Little Red Riding Hood to understand the atmosphere and actions of the "hostel trio", and naturally it is difficult to say whether their mental outlook is "right or wrong".
She just breathed a sigh of relief, sat on the back of a wolf, and slowly recovered her strength.
This is truly a strange experience that I have never had in my life... It's nice to meet such an interesting group of "people" before entering adulthood.
