Chapter 201 Yu-style fixed door experiment
It took longer than expected to communicate with the Secret Service and wait for the laboratory to complete sampling the "umbilical cord". When Yu Sheng returned home, it was completely dark. As a result, when he pushed the door open, he saw a horrifying scene that almost caused him to suffer a cardiopulmonary arrest: Hu Li and Irene were huddled at the kitchen door discussing what to cook for dinner.
Irene's suggestion was to fry the eggplant boxes and stew the half chicken in the refrigerator.
Hu Li's suggestion was to stew everything left in the refrigerator, including two cans of newly bought chili sauce.
When Yu Sheng pushed the door open, the two were voting by raising their hands - Irene raised six hands in an unsportsmanlike manner.
But Hu Li raised his two hands and nine tails.
Fortunately, Yu Sheng managed to successfully avoid another fox-causing kitchen accident in time, and no explosion occurred at the border on this peaceful and tranquil winter night.
"Didn't I tell you not to go into the kitchen when I'm not home?" Yu Sheng said helplessly while tying his apron. "Did you forget about stewing Irene in the iron pot last time, or did you forget about the wok that got deformed last time?"
The fox and the puppet sat side by side on the chairs at the kitchen door, looking so pitiful, lowering their heads to listen to Yu Sheng's muttering. Then Irene raised her head: "I, I don't plan to go in this time. I'll just control Hu Li remotely..."
"I can cook," Hu Li quickly raised his eyes and raised his hand carefully, "My benefactor, have you forgotten that the dish I cooked last time was quite delicious?"
Yu Sheng was slightly startled, recalling the pot of mysterious substance that the fox demon girl had stewed last time. He was slightly impressed by her "cooking skills", but he quickly shook his head cautiously: "That can only be when I'm at home - you are too easily fooled by Irene, and the risk of her giving you 'remote control' is too high."
Hu Li nodded immediately: "Oh."
Irene: "Why is it too risky for me to be in charge?"
But Yu Sheng no longer paid attention to the little doll's protest.
He had to quickly prepare some food to feed Hu Li, who had been waiting for him hungry for half a day.
While he was busy, the protests of the puppet at the kitchen door finally died down. A few seconds later, Irene came in casually as if nothing had happened. She climbed onto his shoulders and said casually, "Look at you. What did the Secret Service find out?"
Yu Sheng said without even raising his head: "I have found out the original name of 'Squirrel', and also determined the exact time when the Dark Angel 'Ankaela' first descended - there is a piece of paper in my trouser pocket, you can take a look."
So Irene climbed down again quickly, hanging on Yu Sheng's legs and searching for something in his pocket.
Yu Sheng couldn't help but look down at the little puppet who had trained himself well, and thought that she looked more like a squirrel...
"...Eighty-six years ago, Zhao Lele was eight and a half years old when he disappeared..." Ailin quickly found the piece of paper that Yu Sheng mentioned. She unfolded it and took a look at it. She couldn't help but mutter in a strange tone, "Tsk, I really can't tell from the photo that he looks so nervous now, smoking and swearing."
"It's been eighty-six years," Yu Sheng sighed softly, "She is no longer that eight-and-a-half-year-old child."
"...I don't know what it will turn out like in the end," Irene muttered, quickly folding the A4 paper and stuffing it back into Yu Sheng's pocket. Then, seeing that he had finished cooking, she quickly climbed onto his shoulder and helped him turn off the range hood. "What are your plans after dinner? Go directly to the orphanage and tell Little Red Riding Hood and other 'parents' about the current situation? You have to consider how you speak, after all, the Dark Angel is quite scary..."
Yu Sheng thought about it, and shook his head while putting the cooked dishes on a plate. "No, the lights at Little Red Riding Hood's orphanage are turned off at 10:30. I plan to wait until they fall asleep and enter the 'wasteland' before telling them about this. By then, we will have verified that the 'sanctuary' mechanism is effective and everyone will feel more confident. Then, mentioning the Dark Angel to them can prevent them from being overly nervous. Before that, you and Hu Li come with me to the 'valley'."
"The valley? What are you going there for?"
"It should be enough time to finish an 'experiment' that was delayed before," Yu Sheng said casually, picking up the plate and walking to the door, "Hu Li! Dinner is ready!"
…
After dinner, Yu Sheng packed up briefly and took Irene and Hu Li to the basement first.
No. 66 Wutong Road has a spacious basement, which is like the super-sized attic on the top of the building. This underground structure is almost half the size of the first floor. There is a staircase in the living room leading directly to here. Except for the debris piled near one of the walls, half of the basement is empty.
Yu Sheng usually comes here less often than he goes to the attic.
Turning on the light, Yu Sheng began to search for things among the large pile of junk against the wall. Irene stared at him curiously, "Hey, didn't you say you were going to the valley?"
"Just some preparatory work," Yu Sheng said without raising his head, "I remember seeing it here... Oh, I found it."
As he spoke, he finally found what he wanted among the dusty debris. Under Irene's surprised and confused gaze, he happily bent down and lifted up a large object.
It was a dilapidated wooden door attached to the door frame...
Irene was stunned: "What do you want this for?!"
"Let's see if we can build a fixed door," Yu Sheng said as he walked out of the pile of debris carrying the door. "Didn't I tell you last time that now I have to open the door to get in and out of the valley, which is quite inconvenient. Now I have time, so I want to verify whether my previous idea can work."
As he spoke, he had already leaned the door against the blank wall at the end of the basement. He then pulled a rag over and roughly cleaned the dust off the door. He then took out a pen and began to draw on the ground nearby.
Irene could tell at a glance that Yu Sheng was drawing a simple alchemical array for infusing spirits—that was the only alchemical formula he knew.
The little puppet instantly understood the other party's idea.
"Are you planning to use a physical door as a medium to solidify the 'portal' you opened as an alchemical effect?!"
Yu Sheng nodded: "That's what I planned."
The little puppet opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't seem to know what to say. He just subconsciously turned his head to look at Hu Li next to him, wanting to see what this "silly fox" thought. As expected, the other party's reaction did not disappoint him - when Hu Li heard Yu Sheng's idea, he clapped his hands with shining eyes and said, "My benefactor's way of refining weapons is free and easy, and he takes the path of simplifying the complex and pursuing the origin..."
"Is this true?" Irene looked at the fox with suspicion, "You don't know alchemy."
Hu Li turned around and asked, "Do you understand the path to the netherworld, benefactor?"
Irene: “…”
The little puppet was choked by the fox demon girl's words for a long time. In the end, he could only wave his hands. He turned his head and saw Yu Sheng was still drawing. Finally, he couldn't help but walked forward and said, "Forget it, let me help. It won't work if you just draw it like this. This size of alchemy array is already medium-sized. It won't work if you simply enlarge the small formation I taught you. Each node needs additional amplification... I'll teach you how to do it."
Yu Sheng handed the pen to the puppet hesitantly, and watched the puppet start to make additions and adjustments to the crude and simple alchemy array. He also listened to the puppet muttering as he drew: "In fact, just drawing like this is not enough. Regular alchemy requires special inks when drawing larger arrays. But with your blood as the material, this step difference should not have much impact... Pay attention to these runes, they are the nodes for amplification. If the complexity of the array is doubled, such patterns must be added at each intersection of the lines..."

Yu Sheng listened in a daze, watching Irene struggling to hold the pen that was a little too thick for her with both hands. Then he heard dense footsteps coming from the direction of the stairs - the other two Ires also came down from upstairs, each of them holding a pen, and started to help together.
The three little puppets ran around on the ground around Yu Sheng, and a huge and intricate alchemical formation quickly took shape.
I always feel... this guy is quite happy.
Then, Irene extended part of the rune to the door frame of the old door, and finally completed it.
"Alright!" Irene, who was carrying the picture frame, turned around and said to the student proudly, "This is the basic formation. Remember it? From now on, all formations with a radius of more than one meter must be amplified in this way... Why are you looking at me?"
"Well, I feel like you're suddenly quite reliable," Yu Sheng said honestly, "You look like an alchemy expert."
"I'm an alchemy expert! And when have I ever been unreliable?!" Irene glared at him with scarlet eyes, and said in an unhappy tone, "Anyway, I have drawn the magic circle for you, but I can't guarantee whether it will succeed in the end - after all, no one has ever tried your idea, and I don't know what the nature of your 'portals' is. Just don't blow up this place..."
Yu Sheng quickly waved his hands: "Don't worry, I know what I am doing. I can sense the entire process of opening the door accurately. If I really feel something is wrong, I can stop at any time."
As he said this, he took out his cell phone.
The first frequently used contact is Baili Qing.
Looking at the name above, Yu Sheng curled his lips, hesitated for two seconds, and then dialed the number.
The other side picked up quickly.
"Ahem," Yu Sheng coughed twice, "Director Baili..."
As a result, just as he said these words, the other party's cold and calm voice came from the receiver: "Experiment?"
Yu Sheng: “…Yeah.”
"how long?"
Yu Sheng: "About two or three hours..."
"Okay, let me know when you're done arranging it."
Yu Sheng was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said: "Oh, thank you... Oh, that's not right, how did you know I wanted to..."
"Dry cough, honorific—you're not usually so polite when opening the door."
Yu Sheng: “…”
