Chapter 210 Isolation Plan
Yu Sheng brought Hu Li and Irene back to the orphanage and found Little Red Riding Hood and Snow White as soon as possible.
After a while, the "king" also came after hearing the news.
Opposite the hotel trio (not sure how many were counted as people) sat the fairy tale trio (including a cat), and the atmosphere in the reception room seemed particularly serious.
Yu Sheng has actually now realized that although the internal atmosphere of the "Fairy Tale" organization is free and loose, as an organization, it also has a management structure and a backbone, and Little Red Riding Hood is obviously the most authoritative head of this "orphan organization". Another person who has a say in the "Fairy Tale" is Snow White - one of them has the oldest seniority and the other has the strongest strength, and they can be regarded as the two "leaders" of the Fairy Tale organization.
Of course, considering that Snow White and Little Red Riding Hood are already in their "final" state, they must have successors, but this is not appropriate to ask casually.
As for the "king", although he is very powerful, he actually doesn't care about things. When discussing important matters, he comes over only because he is a cat - this kind of creature always goes wherever it wants.
In front of the two leaders of "Fairy Tale" and Maomao, Yu Sheng did not hide the new intelligence he had obtained from the Secret Service, and told them everything about the Angel Cultists and the "Container".
"The Secret Service is still holding the last angel cultist, but we don't dare to interrogate him casually. We can only isolate him and observe him carefully," Yu Sheng said casually about the current situation. "This group of angel cultists following Ankaela are indeed quite capable. They seem to be specialized in sacrificing their lives directly to their Lord. The six cultists who sacrificed themselves did not have any wounds on their bodies. The same was true for the one who died in front of me. The Secret Service was watching him with a bunch of advanced equipment, but he was able to kill himself and feed his soul directly to his Lord - there was no way to stop him."
Little Red Riding Hood listened with a tense face. After a long while, she finally broke the silence: "The 'Container' is among us... It seems that this matter has been confirmed, right?"
Yu Sheng sighed and nodded helplessly.
"We still don't know how the angel cultists judged the 'maturity of the container', nor do we know what the criteria for the Dark Angel to choose the 'container' are, but it is basically certain that Ankaela has reached a critical point of awakening, and the self-sacrifice of the cultists is further catalyzing this process - they may not be able to really hear the Dark Angel's voice, but they obviously have a way to sense the Dark Angel's 'state'."
At this time, Snow White next to him suddenly asked: "...Is it possible to capture other angel believers?"
"There must be some hiding. If you can catch one cultist, there must be a lot of them hiding. But it may not be easy to catch more in a short period of time," Yu Sheng said, shaking his head. "Besides, Ankaela's awakening is imminent. It may be too late to catch all its 'believers' before then to delay the angels' coming. What's more, the activities of the Dark Angels are sometimes like 'natural phenomena'. It is still unknown how much impact the cultists' sacrifices can have on their Lord."
"Let's think about how to start with the 'container'," said Irene, who was sitting next to Yu Sheng. "Do you have any ideas? Who is most likely to be the 'container'?"
Snow White and Little Red Riding Hood looked at each other, and the expressions on their faces were a little complicated for a moment.
The expression on the king's face was actually quite complicated, but Yu Sheng couldn't understand what that cat face meant.
After a moment of serious thought, Little Red Riding Hood sighed.
"The most likely one is actually in this room," she said, pointing at herself and then at Snow White, "the one closest to adulthood and the one with the strongest fighting ability. If we were to say who in the entire 'Fairy Tale' organization is closest to the 'Angel of Darkness', it would definitely be the two of us who have been most severely eroded."
"From another perspective, the king is also a possibility." Snow White thought for a moment and pointed at the tabby cat lying on the armrest of the sofa.
The king's eyes widened instantly, and the cat pointed at himself in confusion: "Why?"
Snow White looked serious: "A cat can actually become the carrier of a 'fairy tale', and the most special character is the 'king'. This character can be regarded as the 'unified background' in many fairy tales. Don't you think you are special?"
"... Life has shown its evil claws to an innocent little cat like me again," the king sighed and patted the armrest of the sofa with his paw, "Oh, petting."
Before it finished speaking, a shadow appeared in the air, and then a court jester in colorful clothes and a teardrop mask appeared in the room out of thin air. The clown bowed to the others, knelt on one knee in front of the king, and began to stroke the latter's fur.
Yu Sheng was stunned.
But soon, Yu Sheng suppressed his complaints and looked at Little Red Riding Hood seriously.
"So, we still have to consider the plan of isolation and shelter," he said while thinking, "Now we don't know when Ankaela will wake up completely, and we don't know who will be chosen as the 'container'. Although I have 'protected' the minds of each of you, it is still unknown whether this protection will be effective for the Dark Angels... Taking all factors into consideration, I also think that the children in the orphanage should be temporarily transferred to a safe place, at least..."
He paused, considered his words, and said as tactfully as possible: "At the very least, it is a place with better isolation conditions, easier monitoring, and faster response."
He raised his head and looked around.
"I'm not saying this orphanage is bad, but here..."
"Well, I understand what you mean," Little Red Riding Hood interrupted Yu Sheng directly. Her reaction was calmer than Yu Sheng had expected. "We do need to move the children, and we 'parents' should follow. At least we can't stay in the city."
Yu Sheng was stunned for a moment, and looked at the girl in front of him with some surprise: "Um... In other words, you accept this plan?"
"Yes, and the other 'parents' will accept it too," Little Red Riding Hood nodded seriously, "but we need some time to explain the situation to the brothers and sisters, and we also need to pack a lot of things - including the toys that the children are familiar with."
She paused and added, "Most children in orphanages lack a sense of security. If they are transferred too hastily, it will aggravate their mental instability."
Yu Sheng opened his mouth and took a long time to react. He said with a strange look: "Uh, I thought..."
"Why? We would resist?" Little Red Riding Hood raised her eyebrows. "Shouting 'We want to protect our orphanage, we want to solve the problem ourselves', and then waiting for things to get out of hand?"
Yu Sheng: “Uh…”
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"That's definitely not possible," Snow White shook her head and said seriously, "This is the city. Although there are no residents around the orphanage, there are residential areas and shopping malls outside the isolation zone at an intersection. If someone among us is really a 'container', even if only a small part of the Dark Angel's power descends, it will be a big deal. At this time, we still have to obey the arrangements of the management department and move the source of danger as soon as possible."
Yu Sheng didn't know what to say for a moment and could only scratch his hair awkwardly.
"I should have told you that the rebellious period of the children in this orphanage ended as early as the first time they fell into a nightmare," Little Red Riding Hood gently rocked her body on the sofa, smiling, "Don't worry about us so much. We are not the kind of naughty children who are full of ideas before something happens and cry and make a fuss after something happens. Tell us what arrangements we have now. Are we going to the quarantine area in the suburbs? Or the detention facility under the name of the Secret Service?"
Yu Sheng finally put aside all his unnecessary worries. After realizing that he had been worrying about nothing, he breathed a sigh of relief and looked into Little Red Riding Hood's eyes.
"The Secret Service gave us two options. The first option is to go to a place called 'Quiet Town', which is said to be a relatively stable foreign land with a safe zone established by the Secret Service. The second option is to go to a detention facility on the outskirts of the city - but I have an alternative plan here, which I think may be better."
Little Red Riding Hood and Snow White leaned forward at the same time. "Alternative plan?"
Yu Sheng's expression was serious: "My 'backyard'."
Little Red Riding Hood was stunned for a moment, and didn't react at first, but the next second she thought of something and suddenly opened her eyes wide: "Ah - your XingX Valley!?"
"To be honest, I think that place is much more suitable than the containment facility of the Secret Service," Yu Sheng nodded cheerfully, "From the perspective of security level, any containment facility has the possibility of being breached, and any foreign land is more or less harmful, but my 'backyard' - don't even think about breaching the containment. If I don't grant permission, even the most advanced technology of the Secret Service can't find the entrance, and it's not contaminated at all.
"Of course, I can't guarantee that that place can completely block Ankaela's infiltration. After all, the giant eye that flew away before also left without saying goodbye - but what in this world can stop the Dark Angel? At least that valley seems to have some resistance. And it's directly connected to my perception. If something really "invades" in, I can feel it immediately. The area of the valley itself is still very large, so if something really happens, there will be time to build a buffer..."
Yu Sheng said a lot in one breath, but he changed the subject at the end: "Of course, there are disadvantages. The living conditions are definitely not as good as the shelter facilities built by the Secret Service. But I have discussed with Baili Qing. If you agree, the Secret Service is willing to cooperate. They can urgently prepare generators, mobile homes, and living supplies. I just need to open a big enough door. By then, I can't say whether the conditions there will be suitable for long-term living, but it will be more than enough for short-term living."
