Chapter 217 Emergency Transfer
Snow White was the first to see Yu Sheng. She immediately waved and greeted him happily. Then many children looked over here. Only then did they show surprise and curiosity like normal children. They began to chatter and discuss, or asked their brothers and sisters around them a lot of questions. Some children who had met him before even shouted happily, looking happy and excited.
Yu Sheng walked over quickly, not caring about Snow White calling him "open the door brother", but walked past the group of little kids and went straight to Little Red Riding Hood, looking her up and down with a serious face.
Little Red Riding Hood was stunned by the look and asked subconsciously: "What's wrong?"
"Where is Xiaoxiao?" Yu Sheng asked quickly.
"They're lining up over there," Little Red Riding Hood raised her hand and pointed at the group of children, "that's the one at the very edge."
Yu Sheng immediately looked back and saw the skinny girl standing in a group of five or six-year-old kids with baby hair, carrying a small schoolbag on her back and a pink water bottle around her neck, waving at him vigorously.
"I just entered the illusion of the Black Forest," Yu Sheng smiled and waved to Xiaoxiao. When he turned back to look at Little Red Riding Hood, his expression had become serious. "I thought you or Xiaoxiao had accidentally entered the 'subset'..."
Little Red Riding Hood opened her mouth in surprise, but couldn't say anything for a moment.
"It seems that the leakage conditions are changing. Even if the 'protagonist' does not enter the dream, their corresponding subset has begun to leak into reality," Yu Sheng said hurriedly, looking up at the hall, "Is everyone here?"
"Those who can be awakened have already been awakened, but those who are in a 'nightmare' cannot be awakened by force - there are twenty-two children, including the 'parents'," Little Red Riding Hood replied, "The King's Guard Knights are guarding those rooms. If all else fails... we can just carry them out."
"Will there be any danger?" Yu Sheng noticed the seriousness in Little Red Riding Hood's expression and asked immediately.
"If you forcefully move or are overly stimulated in the nightmare state, your state will become unstable, the erosion from the 'fairy tale' will accelerate, and the probability of encountering a strong enemy in the 'subset' will also be greatly increased. This process is a bit like the stimulation in the real world turning into the fear in the nightmare," Little Red Riding Hood explained, "but the situation is urgent now, I'm afraid I can't worry about these things."
She pursed her lips, as if she was weighing the pros and cons quickly, then took a breath: "Anyway, now I have your 'protection', and I can retreat to the wasteland if I encounter a strong enemy in the nightmare. I will give each of them an injection of sanity blocker to temporarily suppress the erosion, and take them away by force... In comparison, the sequelae of the blocker are minor problems."
Yu Sheng frowned, but nodded quickly: "Okay, you arrange it."
In this matter, he decided to trust the judgment of Little Red Riding Hood, a "professional".
Then, he went straight to the door of the lobby on the first floor.
The children looked at him curiously, dozens of them with a mixture of nervousness, confusion, anticipation, excitement, and uneasiness.
Yu Sheng took a deep breath and put his hand on the door handle.
"Erin." He called the puppet in his heart.
"Hey, I'm here. How's the situation over there?"
"Are you over at the valley construction site now?"
"You didn't ask me to go to the wasteland..." Irene was startled, but quickly reacted, "Oh, yes, I'm at the construction site! I have a body at the construction site! The person in charge here was very anxious when he heard that the children had to be relocated in advance, and he was setting up a temporary kitchen and tents - the water purifier and generator have been connected, and there are instant noodles when you are hungry..."
"It's okay, the kids have their snacks," Yu Sheng interrupted the puppet, "I'm about to open the door, you stay there to meet them, and take the kids to the platform first - just be careful not to get hurt. It's midnight in the real world, but it's daytime over there in the valley, the kids might get excited if they get over there, don't let them run around."
"Oh, okay! I'm ready here!"
Yu Sheng then breathed a sigh of relief and calmed down.
He felt that the door in his hand had established a temporary connection with the valley.
The next second, he gently pushed open the door to the east building that used to lead to the outdoor activity area of the orphanage.
The clear and bright sky, the endless grassland, the mountains in the distance, the stream flowing at the foot of the mountain, and the doll lady standing at the door, smiling and waving happily, appeared in front of everyone.
The children exclaimed, followed by a burst of chattering.
It was noisy, but this was the most normal noise for a group of kids ranging from five or six years old to teenagers to get together - the overly quiet gathering and queuing just now was not the atmosphere that kids of their age should have.
But the noise only lasted for a moment, and they soon quieted down. With a few half-grown children as the core, the teams quickly restored order, and then looked at their nearest "parents".
Now is an "emergency state" and they know they have to wait for further instructions.
"It's like a picnic," Yu Sheng broke the silence, smiling as he looked at the children, "Let's go, it's a good place."
"Come on, follow me - those behind should follow the brothers and sisters in front!" Rapunzel said. She led the first team and walked towards the gate leading to the valley. "Everyone, follow the instructions. Don't run around. Follow the brothers and sisters first and go to the gathering place together!"
The children began to line up and walk through the door. After each line of children passed, there would be a "parent" in the middle as a node. The half-grown children around fourteen years old walked on both sides of the line, responsible for confirming the number of people in the process of passing through the gate and checking the status of each younger brother or sister.
A few minutes later, the knights of the royal guard summoned by the king also arrived at the hall. These tall and burly knights, carrying the still sleeping children, walked silently and quickly towards the valley opposite the gate.
From time to time, Yu Sheng could hear all kinds of strange noises coming from the basement corridor, from outside the east building wall, and from certain areas upstairs.
There was the sound of off-tune music, the shouts and singing of knights, and the sound of gunfire.
There were lights outside the windows not far away, and it seemed as if a feast was being held in the lights. A prince was about to marry a mysterious princess who was said to have slept in the ruins for a hundred years. They were going to hold a party in the square in front of the castle, and a bonfire would burn until the whole city was reduced to ashes.
The bells rang, and a large ship was approaching the shore in the night sky. Sailors whispered about the secrets of the sea. It was said that a half-man, half-fish creature had mixed into the crowd. The smell of the sea was spreading under the deck. Soldiers lit braziers fueled by whale oil on the shore. The hunt would begin when the ship approached the shore. A team of soldiers marched across the ceiling of the hall. They wore smocks as strange as playing cards, and then disappeared into the corner of the roof. Children holding hands and carrying small schoolbags and small water bottles lined up in the hall. The half-grown children took the lead, and the little ones began to sing nursery rhymes. Their varied and out-of-tune singing mixed with the sounds of court dances, horns, whistles, and guns. They marched in teams through the illusory ball illusions, through the sailors, soldiers, talking lions, and the flames and sea water that had spread on the floor at some point, and walked towards the valley with a bright sky.
Walk and walk, little hands holding big hands.
"Don't look around! Don't let go of the other kids' hands! Follow your older brothers and sisters - and don't let go until you pass through the gate!"
Walk and walk, holding hands.
"The last team - 'Jack', you and Long Hair go over there to help maintain order and follow Irene's instructions."

The illusion faded again, and all the sounds that shouldn't appear in the real world began to fade away.
"King, take the knights and check all the floors again. Come back quickly."
Following Little Red Riding Hood's final instructions, the surroundings gradually became quiet. The youngest children had all passed through the gate, and only a few "parents" remained in the hall. As most people left, Yu Sheng noticed that the "atmosphere" in the orphanage, which had always been turbulent, had finally settled down.
He didn't know how to describe the feeling, he just knew that his spiritual intuition was calming down.
It seems that the "leakage" has finally stopped tonight.
"It's quiet..." Snow White raised her head and looked around, listening carefully to the noises in the orphanage. "It seems to have stopped?"
Yu Sheng also relaxed a little, and then asked in his heart: "Erin, how is the situation over there? Is there any abnormal phenomenon in the valley? What about the wasteland?"
"Everything is normal here. The children are in good spirits after coming here. No 'leak' has been found in the valley. The sleeping children and 'parents' have been moved to several temporary tents," Irene replied. After a brief pause, she continued, "There is no problem in the wasteland either. Judging from their reactions, each 'subset' seems to be calming down quickly."
Yu Sheng's solemn expression finally relaxed a little. He turned to look at Little Red Riding Hood, who was still tense, and smiled: "Good news, the isolation of the 'Valley' is effective."
Little Red Riding Hood and Snow White breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
"Should we prepare to retreat?" Snow White asked, "It's too late to change anything."
"I have checked upstairs and downstairs," the king's voice came from the stairs, "everywhere is in order, and no one is left behind."
Little Red Riding Hood nodded: "Okay, let's retreat."
The two people and the cat quickly passed through the gate leading to the valley.
Of course Yu Sheng stayed behind - after all, he was responsible for opening the door.
After Little Red Riding Hood had also left, he exhaled slightly and took one last look at the now silent hall before walking through the door.
He was suddenly startled at this moment.
A hollow figure in hunting clothes stood there quietly.
Yu Sheng blinked.
The "hunter" disappeared in the blink of an eye.
