Chapter 199 Your good friend Yu Sheng brought you a new job
As the illusory door opened, Yu Sheng returned to the living room of No. 66 Wutong Road.
The baby's crying sound that had always been faintly ringing in his ears faded away. The warm and bright lights and the familiar home scenes instantly dispelled the oppressive coldness brought by the dark forest. Yu Sheng subconsciously took a deep breath to ease his tense emotions.
Hu Li couldn't help but look back in the direction where the door disappeared, a little worried: "Is it okay to leave the squirrel there?"
"We can't bring it out," Yu Sheng shook his head. "The squirrel entered the Black Forest many, many years ago. Now it has completely become a part of the forest. Who knows what will happen if we bring it out rashly - but don't worry, it has lived in the forest for so many years, it will be fine."
Irene also climbed down from Yu Sheng's shoulders and said as she climbed, "Indeed, and I feel that the squirrel seems to be more relaxed now. I always thought it was crazy before, and although it doesn't seem to be normal now, it is much better than before."
Yu Sheng hummed and didn't say anything else. Instead, he looked down at the Angel Umbilical Cord (a fake) and Hunter Bullets he brought back.
After leaving the Black Forest, the umbilical cord, which had once shown signs of partial activation, returned to its original shriveled state and now lies quietly in the box.
As for the hunter bullets... Yu Sheng never saw the hunter in the end.
It seems that I have to take Little Red Riding Hood to the Black Forest next time. If nothing else, I have to use the operating mechanism of the Black Forest to brush out the "Wolf Grandma" first, so that I can have a chance to meet the Hunter.
But Yu Sheng suddenly thought of another question——
What would happen if he went into the Black Forest with Little Red Riding Hood while carrying the "Angel Umbilical Cord"? Would Little Red Riding Hood also be "pulled" by him to see those "initial memories"? Would she also see the phantom of the first Little Red Riding Hood and the appearance of the early Black Forest? Or would these "past reappearances" be one-offs? Or would she see "Black Forest memories" of other time periods? Yu Sheng's thoughts could not help but wander a little, and he stood there for a long time without making any movement. Seeing this, Irene went up and bumped his leg with her head: "Hey, what are you suddenly dazed about?"
Yu Sheng suddenly woke up: "Oh, nothing, I just thought about taking Little Red Riding Hood into the Black Forest next time. I want to try out the Angel Umbilical Cord to see if it has any other effects."
"We'll talk about next time, what about now?"
Yu Sheng thought for a moment and took out his phone from his pocket: "We need to tell the Secret Service about our new intelligence - and the matter of the angel's umbilical cord."
As he spoke, he flipped through the contact list and saw Li Lin and Xu Jiali first, but after thinking that this was a big deal, he looked at Song Cheng's name again. But after hesitating for a second or two, he still frowned and pointed at another name: "...No, I still have to find Baili Qing for this kind of thing."
"He's a director, and he's always answering your calls," Irene couldn't help but beep beside him, "Your frequency of harassment is enough to make you an insurance salesman - it's a pity that he's so well-mannered that he didn't curse at you in person."
"This is my dark angel-level intelligence!" Yu Sheng immediately glared at the little doll, "She would probably love to get more of this kind of information..."
He didn't notice that the call was connected. Just as he finished speaking, he heard Baili Qing's rare and urgent voice: "What information did you say?!"
"Uh, cough," Yu Sheng coughed twice and quickly sorted out his thoughts, "Dark Angel, about Ankaela. It's a long story, but anyway, I have made some new progress in my investigation - and by the way, I need you to help me find some information, so I'm calling you."
"… Tell me the general situation first, so I can make arrangements."
"It all started when I got an 'angel umbilical cord'..."
Yu Sheng had just started to speak when he heard a slight inhalation sound coming from the receiver.
"Let's talk face to face." Baili Qing said straightforwardly.
The next second, Baili Qing looked up at Yu Sheng, who had walked into her office and found a seat. She watched him nod and said, "Okay, let's talk in person."
Even though the director, who is known for her steely expression, had a dull expression on her face at this moment.
After holding it in for several seconds, she finally blurted out, "...Have you reported it?"
"I've reported it," Yu Sheng waved his phone, "Your phone is quite useful."
"...Just report it," Baili Qing nodded with a strange look on her face, then glanced behind Yu Sheng, "Those two, Ailin and Hu Li, didn't they come with you this time?"
"Just open the door and talk. There's no need to bring people along every time," Yu Sheng waved his hand. "You're pretty close now anyway."
Baili Qing was silent for a while, then took a deep breath and said, "That's right. Now tell me, what is the 'Angel Umbilical Cord'? Did you bring it with you?"
"The thing is here. I know you must be interested in it." Yu Sheng did not make excuses. He walked over and placed the wooden box on Baili Qing's desk. "You can study it briefly and take a small sample, but you can't destroy its overall integrity. And I want to take it with me when I leave - I still have a great use for it."
Baili Qing watched Yu Sheng place a wooden box containing an angel's umbilical cord on her desk with a "bang". Her eyebrows twitched slightly for a moment, and then she carefully opened the lid of the wooden box and observed the "contents" inside with her faded eyes.
And in the air behind her, a pair of eyes seemed to vaguely emerge, looking at the items in the box curiously with her.
After hearing Yu Sheng say "it will be very useful if you keep it", Baili Qing withdrew her gaze from the wooden box. She looked up at Yu Sheng with a slightly strange expression. After a long while, she herself didn't know why she blurted out, "...to make wine?"
Yu Sheng: "...Hey, why are you all like this?!"
"All?"
Yu Sheng's eyebrows knitted together: "Eileen is like this too!"
Baili Qing: “…”
The director was silent for a moment, and then quickly adjusted her state and expression the next second.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"I'll have the dispatch center send a recovery team over right now," she said seriously, "The lab will do a quick analysis of this thing. Don't worry, it'll be done according to your request - and you can take it away anytime after that."
Yu Sheng nodded in agreement.
The "recovery team" mentioned by Baili Qing arrived very quickly. It seemed that there were many such action teams on standby in various places in the building, ready to go to each floor to accommodate and dispose of those "dangerous objects" that came out of nowhere. After only a few minutes, heavy and hurried footsteps were heard in the corridor, and then several tall figures wearing heavy protective clothing that Yu Sheng had seen in the analytical laboratory last time appeared in the office.
These people, who were dressed in Terminator armor and even had their faces covered by thick masks, took the angel's umbilical cord away in a special container. Only after they left did Baili Qing turn his attention to Yu Sheng again.
"Let me first tell you the information I need. The information is rather vague and it may take a long time to search for it," Yu Sheng said immediately. "First, about the 'orphanage' where Little Red Riding Hood is, during the first 'fairy tale' alien outbreak, or even earlier, to see if there are any reports of 'falling objects', 'impacts' or 'visual and auditory hallucinations'. The general description is that an ellipsoidal luminous object fell from the sky, the falling process was silent, and the luminous object eventually disappeared. See if there are any similar eyewitness records.
"Also, during this time period, did the orphanage and the surrounding area detect any abnormal... 'signals'? I don't know how to describe it, but it was a sign of the angel's arrival... Yes, I mean, Ankaela might have arrived at that time - but its arrival was interrupted at the time, so the Secret Service is very likely to have recorded some clues at the time, but did not realize what it was."
Baili Qing listened with a serious expression. Everything Yu Sheng said made her realize the seriousness of the matter. She wanted to speak several times but restrained herself. Until now, she finally couldn't help but speak: "Wait, you said Ankaela had already descended at that time - but the process of descending was interrupted? What interrupted it?"
"By a child, using a fairy tale book - I know this sounds a little unbelievable, so I think the main reason is that Ankaela was in a very special state at the time, and the child who handed over the fairy tale book just accidentally pushed this 'critical point'.
"So this is another piece of information I need your help investigating: the disappearance of children from that orphanage.
"It was before the first outbreak of the 'Fairy Tale' alien world. There should have been a child missing in the orphanage, along with a fairy tale book."
Baili Qing turned on the computer on the table and quickly edited the instructions to the subordinate departments, but she also looked up at Yu Sheng and reminded him: "I have to say in advance that these materials are not easy to find. Especially the missing child and the fairy tale book you mentioned - the "Adulthood" operation took place seventy years ago, the first outbreak of "Fairy Tale" was almost eighty years ago, and the events you mentioned were even earlier.
"The technology and system at that time were not as advanced and complete as they are today, and the management of that orphanage was also somewhat chaotic."
Yu Sheng had anticipated the difficulty of this matter, but he couldn't help but frown when he heard Baili Qing's words: "Is it so chaotic that even if a child goes missing, there may not be any record left?"
"Theoretically, it shouldn't be that serious." Baili Qing paused for a moment and then exhaled softly, "In any case, I hope everything goes well."
