Chapter 215 Leakage Expands
It takes about thirty minutes to patrol all the corridors and classrooms in the East Building, and then the West Building will be patrolled once. There are check-in booklets on each floor of the two buildings, hanging in the record box at the staircase. The situations found during the patrol must be recorded on a form for reference by the next patrol "parent" - Little Red Riding Hood is already quite familiar with this patrol process.
Yu Sheng followed Little Red Riding Hood and watched her do these things. He could see that she was doing them very seriously. She even had a sense of mission when she passed through each room and wrote down each record.
Yu Sheng felt that he could understand the other person's feelings - Ankaela was gradually waking up, and the children would be transferred to the valley tomorrow. No matter what happened after that, whether the crisis of "Fairy Tale" was finally resolved or the Dark Angel was out of control, for her, this might be her last time patrolling this place.
"Not long ago, I was planning a comprehensive search of the entire orphanage and arranging patrols and inspections of underground facilities, but I may have to leave tomorrow," Little Red Riding Hood sighed softly, with a bit of self-mockery in her tone, "It's really... quite sudden."
"Plans can't keep up with changes," Yu Sheng said softly, "it's always like this."
Little Red Riding Hood pursed her lips and remained silent for a few seconds before she suddenly spoke in a low voice: "It'll be okay, right?"
"Of course," Yu Sheng smiled faintly, "We have prepared everything. Whether Ankaela attacks you in reality or in dreams, we will stop it."
Little Red Riding Hood looked into Yu Sheng's eyes, and after a while, a smile appeared in her eyes.
"Let's go take a look underground. The king is patrolling the passage with his 'guards'. They should be done patrolling by now. Let's see what's going on over there."
"good."
Yu Sheng and Little Red Riding Hood came to the second underground floor together. After entering the connecting passage and walking towards the west building for a while, they saw the king lazily lying on a fire equipment box - three figures wearing black leather armor and hooded masks were quietly guarding beside him. After Little Red Riding Hood appeared, the three figures immediately became alert, but then relaxed and nodded to Yu Sheng and Little Red Riding Hood with a slightly stiff and rigid manner.
"You're here, meow." The lazy tabby cat raised its paw and waved, seemingly not caring at all about the appearance of Sheng. "I've checked the two underground floors, and found nothing. I was just thinking about finding a place to sleep."
"Thank you for your hard work," Little Red Riding Hood stepped forward and scratched the fur on the king's back. "Did you check the area around the ventilation shaft?"
"Of course, I even went into the ventilation duct to check it myself," the tabby cat yawned, "If something really happened, it can't be solved in one night, right? How can it be so..."
A faint sound of music coming from somewhere suddenly interrupted its muttering.
The underground passage became quiet in an instant. The king's waist, which was half stretched, even froze in place. Yu Sheng felt his spiritual intuition suddenly jump. Although the vague and short music was very faint, it echoed in his perception as if it had penetrated something.
He suddenly looked up at Little Red Riding Hood and met the girl's wide eyes.
Then, the soft, elegant and soothing music sounded again, this time clearer than before, and it even seemed to be sounding on the other side of the wall! The fur on the king's tail instantly stood up, and his usually deep and magnetic documentary voice was a little difficult to hold back: "Fuck, it shouldn't be that serious - I'm just an innocent little cat..."
"Quiet!" Little Red Riding Hood immediately interrupted the cat's mumbling. Many shadowy wolf figures suddenly emerged from the shadows beside her. Each wolf pricked up its ears and listened to all the sounds in the underground passage. After a few seconds, she spoke solemnly, "Is it the court dance, the bloody court? This time may also be the Eternal Ball... No, the time in the dream does not correspond to the real time..."
A sudden noise appeared in the soft and elegant music, followed by the sound of something breaking, mixed with the crackling sound of burning flames and the harsh music that quickly became distorted and out of tune.
Little Red Riding Hood finally determined that the sound came from behind a wall on the left side of the passage.
“This way!”
The girl shouted hurriedly, and then led the wolves to run quickly in the direction where the sound came from.
Yu Sheng ran after him without saying a word, and the figures dressed as assassins also quickly caught up. The king jumped directly onto the shoulder of one of the assassins and waved his claws at the air next to him. In the blink of an eye, several "followers" dressed as magicians and warriors emerged in the air. They instantly formed a kind of battle formation, covering the left and right and rear of the passage, and ran forward with Little Red Riding Hood and Yu Sheng.
At this moment, Yu Sheng caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye - he saw a shadow suddenly appear on the roof in front of the passage. The shadow was like layers of rose bushes, suddenly blooming and spreading out under the dim light, and thorns sprouted out from the shadow, as if trying to break free from the shadow's shackles and try to pierce into the real world!
However, before he could even utter a warning, the shadow of the rose bushes suddenly disappeared, and on the roof there was only a patch of dirt that had accumulated over the years.
Little Red Riding Hood's figure was as fast as the wind. In the blink of an eye, she turned into a fork in the underground passage. Two shadow wolves suddenly jumped out from the air behind her and broke open an iron door marked "Warehouse".
Bright lights suddenly poured out from behind the iron gate. A bright red carpet "gushed" out from behind the iron gate like wildly spreading blood and spread and grew in the underground passage. Yu Sheng saw that the "warehouse" was a spacious and gorgeous hall. Countless twisted and ecstatic bodies were dancing in the hall. They were wearing shining court costumes. Every long skirt and every dress was extremely exquisite and gorgeous. However, their faces were as absurd and weird as if they were painted with paint. The facial features painted with bright paints were laughing wildly, and a voice was shouting loudly in the gradually distorted and out-of-tune music -
"The prince wants the glass slipper - cut off her feet!"
There was a sudden roar, and everything in the hall began to collapse. The "warehouse" in reality and the "hall" in the illusion seemed to overlap. Yu Sheng saw that a corner of the ceiling not far away seemed to have collapsed. Through the hole in the roof, he saw a pumpkin carriage rising into the air in thick smoke and roaring, rushing towards the distant sky.
However, in the next second, several huge lamp posts suddenly pierced the night sky. The east and west buildings of the orphanage had turned into high towers surrounded by barbed wire and heavy concrete fortifications. In the blink of an eye, artillery fire roared on the top of the tower, and tongues of fire swept across the sky. But at the moment when the fierce anti-aircraft fire hit the pumpkin carriage, the latter seemed to have hit an invisible door and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.
Then, all the illusions disappeared, including the two air-raid towers, the collapsed and damaged roof, and the "warehouse" overlapping the ballroom. Yu Sheng only felt himself in a trance for a moment, and everything in front of him returned to its "normal" appearance in the underground passage.
It's as if nothing happened.
But Yu Sheng already knew what was going on.
"The leak is getting bigger!" he yelled, then reached out and slapped Little Red Riding Hood, who seemed a little dazed. "Quick, wake up the children now! Wake up everyone who can, and gather on the first floor until I open the door!"
"Okay!" Little Red Riding Hood nodded quickly, but then seemed to remember something, "What about those trapped in the 'subset'?"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Don't worry about it for now - you saw it just now. If they really encounter danger, their consciousness will enter the 'wasteland' for refuge," Yu Sheng said quickly, "Now transfer them in batches to ensure that the youngest children are not affected by the nightmare leak!"
He thought quickly and added, "I will ask Irene to go to the Wasteland and explain the situation to those who have fallen in."
"I understand!" Little Red Riding Hood nodded vigorously, then looked at the tabby cat beside her, "King, summon all your guards to protect those who are still in the 'subset' and don't let their real bodies get hurt!"
The king said nothing, but just waved his claws vigorously. The next second, all the adventurers around him disappeared, and a group of fully armed heavy-armored knights appeared in the underground corridor - they were all burly figures nearly two meters tall, wearing fine gold armor filled with magical brilliance, holding sharp blades in their hands, with thick shadows under their helmets, exuding a powerful aura.
These "Royal Guard Knights" who looked like they could flatten a Demon King's castle marched silently and in unison. At the king's "meow", they passed through the underground corridor at an astonishing speed and disappeared from Yu Sheng's sight.
Little Red Riding Hood nodded to him, then sank into the shadows with her wolf pack and disappeared into the corridor in the blink of an eye.
“…They are all so cool.”
Yu Sheng muttered something in a low voice, then simply judged the direction, and walked forward while calling in his heart: "Erin, I heard the reply."
The little puppet's voice immediately appeared: "I heard it, I heard it. What's the matter?"
"Take a break and go to the Wasteland right now. The defeated members of the Fairy Tale group should have taken refuge there. Tell them that their nightmares are leaking into reality and the children are being transferred ahead of time. Tell them not to panic and wait until their respective subsets calm down before returning to reality. Then go to the first floor of the east building of the orphanage to gather. I will open a door there and send them to the valley for refuge. Do you understand?"
"I understand, I understand. Why do you always encounter such emergencies? I'll be there right away. Be careful. If something really escapes, take everyone else away first. Don't resist. If you die, it's okay. If the others can't escape, then they will really die. Oh, mom, bite your tongue..."
