Chapter 96 Active Testing
"The 'security guards' generated in the museum won't move across areas. We can take a break in this corridor for a while," Little Red Riding Hood said to her son, looking at the quiet corridor in front of her. "Be extra careful when you move to other areas. We're not sure how many 'security guards' are generated in the museum. If they all happen to block the white exhibition hall... that would be bad luck."
"The key is how these 'security guards' were 'activated'," Irene jumped off Yu Sheng and thought seriously, "We definitely didn't make any mistakes, but as soon as those security guards showed up, they attacked us indiscriminately..."
Little Red Riding Hood opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but she seemed very hesitant.
Irene asked her directly: "What do you want to say?"
Little Red Riding Hood then spoke: "In fact, the most likely explanation is that someone else has entered the museum besides us, and they triggered the museum's 'clearance' mechanism, but... theoretically this shouldn't be the case. I checked before coming here, and there are no investigators other than us coming here tonight..."
Irene thought for a moment and said, "Maybe he came here secretly? With some ulterior motive..."
"The possibility is very small," Little Red Riding Hood shook her head. "The Secret Service has regulations that any opening of an alien realm within the border area must be reported in advance. Each 'node' has a monitoring function, forming a huge sensor network. If an alien realm channel or space-time rift is accidentally opened, it will definitely trigger a warning."
"Ah, that's true, we are familiar with each other." Elinte nodded without shame, not knowing whether she really heard it or not. Then she turned her eyes and focused on Yu Sheng.
At this time, Yu Sheng was squatting on the floor, picking up a twisted and deformed plastic arm.
This was left by the "security guard" who rushed over and grabbed him at the last moment after he crossed the gate. The "gate" cut off the arm. Probably because it was too far away from the main body, the arm has now completely lost its activity, just like a part that fell off a real plastic model, it is motionless at this moment.
Yu Sheng curiously observed the "limb" cut from the entity, and then knocked it on the ground, making a hollow sound.
It's made of plastic. It looks like plastic and feels like plastic, but I wonder if it will also taste like plastic when I bite it...
Just as Yu Sheng was thinking about this weird idea, he heard the little doll screaming in horror: "Hey! Yu Sheng, what are you doing? That thing is made of plastic! You can't eat it!"
"Nonsense, of course I know this can't be eaten, I'm not that outrageous!" Yu Sheng rolled his eyes at the doll helplessly, "Even if this isn't made of plastic, I won't eat it - after all, those 'security guards' are in human form, I definitely can't eat them. I'm just a little curious about how these 'entities' move."
Irene patted her chest immediately and said, "It's okay. I was so scared... I tell you, I wouldn't be surprised if you found a pot and cooked this thing on the spot. You..."
Yu Sheng looked helpless: "Is this the image of me in your mind?"
Little Red Riding Hood looked on with horror.
She was not shocked by Yu Irene's shouting "This can't be eaten", but she was shocked to recall the plate of fried meat she saw when she went to No. 66 Wutong Road last time. She even suspected that Yu Sheng was really considering whether the arm was edible - at least he might have considered its taste.
Then she saw Yu Sheng suddenly take out a small knife from his pocket, cut a small cut on his arm, let the blood out and smear it on the plastic arm.
A sense of horror and weirdness that was completely different from "he was going to eat it" emerged from the bottom of her heart, and Little Red Riding Hood screamed: "What are you doing?"
"Let's see if we can get some intelligence and establish some advantages," Yu Sheng said casually as he carefully smeared the blood. "My blood can establish connections with many things, including entities - but I don't know if it will work on this kind of 'limbs' that have already been cut off."
This time, Irene, who was standing next to him, was much calmer. She had long been resistant to Yu Sheng's weird moves. She even explained to Little Red Riding Hood, "Yu Sheng's blood is very strange. Hu Li and I have both come into contact with his blood..."
"So seriously, you really don't want to consider having a bite?" Yu Sheng turned his head to look at Little Red Riding Hood and stretched out his arm, "Before the wound heals - I tell you, my wound heals very quickly, if you don't come now, it will be gone."
Little Red Riding Hood jumped off the wolf in an instant and stepped back several steps: "No!"
Then she turned to look at Hu Li, who had never spoken. She intuitively thought that this big fox demon was probably the one with the most normal values among the "Inn Trio". "Don't you think there's anything wrong with this?"
Hu Li just looked at Yu Sheng with admiration: "My benefactor, your magic is superb, this is how the witch blood technique works!"
Little Red Riding Hood was completely confused. She didn't know what the "blood witchcraft technique" the other party was talking about was. After all, she was just a high school student and had never dealt with many cultivators so far.
On the other side, Yu Sheng noticed that the blood he had smeared on the plastic arm was being absorbed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"It seems to be working." He muttered softly.
"Really?" Irene came over immediately and looked at Yu Sheng expectantly, "What did you see? What did you see? Did you figure out why those 'security guards' suddenly went crazy?"
"The vague connection we just established is not enough to detect such complex information." Yu Sheng said as he waved his hand, signaling the little doll to calm down. Then he concentrated more and more, sensing the weak connection between himself and this "museum" established by blood.
He slowly narrowed his eyes, imagining his perception extending into the void, imagining his gaze passing through this long corridor, through those doors and exhibition halls, among the countless collections, he was looking for the source of the arm, looking for... other auras that were similar to the source of the arm.
Suddenly, he sensed their presence.
He even felt as if he were among them.
He was wearing a security uniform, his body was crooked, and there were plastic dummies wearing the same security uniforms standing around him.
But this was only a brief illusion. Just like when he first sensed the action of "hunger", Yu Sheng knew that he had mistaken the "information" transmitted through the blood as an extension of his limbs.
His current connection with this "museum" has not reached this point, but if this connection continues to strengthen, it is not certain whether this feeling is still an illusion. Perhaps it will be just like the "feast" in the valley at that time... He can really "become" those security guards standing in the exhibition halls and corridors for a short period of time.
"Most of the 'security guards' are concentrated in this direction, two forks away from us," Yu Sheng suddenly opened his eyes and pointed in a certain direction on the side of the corridor. "Now they are all stationary, as if they have not received any further instructions. There are also a few scattered around in several exhibition halls in the distance, and they don't seem to have the inclination to take action."

Little Red Riding Hood opened her eyes slightly, with an incredible look on her face.
It was the first time that she understood Yu Sheng’s ability so intuitively - the last time they “fought side by side” in the Night Valley was more like a helping hand in the chaos, and the information she perceived at that time was really limited.
Of course, she realized immediately how useful this ability was.
All it takes is one contact, and an opportunity to "implant" your blood into the target's body, to establish a stable "sensing" connection, to gain advance intelligence on entities in the alien realm, and to grasp their current location and status... It goes without saying what this means to detectives and investigators in the spiritual world!
Then, Little Red Riding Hood thought of the second question: Does this ability also work on humans? Somehow, she suddenly thought of Yu Sheng's invitation to "have a bite".
The girl felt a little hairy and quickly controlled the random thoughts in her mind. She shook her head and spoke quickly: "Then we can avoid direct contact with those 'entities'... Can you only sense the location of those 'security guards'? Can you also sense the situation in each exhibition hall? For example, look for the white exhibition hall..."
"No," Yu Sheng shook his head, "The connection is still very shallow, and it is mainly established with the 'security guard'. The structure of the museum itself is almost imperceptible at present."
As he spoke, he made another small cut on his arm (the previous cut had already healed), and in an experimental manner, smeared his blood evenly on the nearby walls and floor.
The blood quickly seeped into the floor tiles and walls, but Yu Sheng hardly felt any change.
"I guess the amount is not enough," he said seriously, "I think I need to apply it all over this place three or four times..."
The expression on Little Red Riding Hood's face instantly became more than just terrifying.
Fortunately, Yu Sheng noticed the change in the girl's expression in time, and had the common sense to figure out why she looked like she had seen a ghost. He quickly waved his hand and said, "Just a joke, just a joke. I am more of an exploratory person."
