Chapter 237 Now, you have a long future
Hearing Yu Sheng's complaints, Little Red Riding Hood seemed a little embarrassed. The girl tried to keep a straight face and said, "It's sent by the Secret Service, so it's hard to be picky. We originally planned to dismantle this big round plate, but it has a shaft passing through the table top. If we dismantle it, there will be a big hole, which looks even uglier. Besides, the king accidentally fell off once..."
"...It's really a practical reason." Yu Sheng's expression was a little tense. The corners of his mouth twitched and he tried to skip the topic. He sat down at the round table and looked around.
Seeing this, Little Red Riding Hood immediately introduced the situation: "We use the door on the left as a temporary warehouse. Most of the supplies sent by the Secret Service are piled there. The corridor outside the door next to it leads to the backyard. We plan to clean it up in the future and make a small garden. We haven't figured out what to do with the rooms on the right yet. Now they are used as dormitories for Teacher Su and others..."
Yu Sheng nodded as he listened: "What about the second floor?"
Then he saw the boys and girls around the round table fall into awkward silence. The ones closest to him opened their mouths hesitantly, and finally it was Rapunzel who broke the silence: "Brother, you didn't leave a staircase leading to the second floor..."
Yu Sheng's expression froze on the spot: "..."
"We haven't yet agreed with Engineer Sun from the construction team where to dig the staircase hole," Little Red Riding Hood continued, "How about when you are free..."
Yu Sheng's toes were about to tear through the soles of his shoes. He didn't say anything when he heard this. He just raised his head slightly at a 45-degree angle and looked at the lights on the ceiling. Then, there were slight clicking and squeaking sounds coming from the back of the hall. After a while, he blinked and nodded to Little Red Riding Hood with a straight face, "There's already a stairwell behind the hall..."
Rapunzel immediately clapped her hands: "Brother, you are awesome!"
Yu Sheng: "... Next time if there is anything inconvenient or unreasonable, please let me know. Many of these things were done in a hurry, and I didn't have time to do them in detail."
He really didn't have the nerve to say that this place was a masterpiece he had created with all his hard work - and he couldn't say that from now on.
Fortunately, other people didn't seem to care much about this matter, and Yu Sheng quickly brought the topic back on track.
"…In short, I have integrated the fairy tale with this valley. You should have seen its two main integration points—one is the Black Forest, and the other is the tall tower, located at the two ends of the valley.
“Other ‘stages’ have also been merged, but due to time constraints, I did not build ‘valley connection points’ for them one by one. Most of the subsets’ connection points are in the Black Forest and the Tower. I will compile a detailed ‘node map’ for your reference later.
"You can think of the 'Fairy Tale' alien world as a part of this valley, that is, part of No. 66 Wutong Road. It still exists, but just like the Night Valley, its nature has been completely reshaped. In the words of Director Baili Qing, all the harmful entities inside it have been cleared out, and it has now become an 'empty shell', hanging in my backyard...
"The changes brought about by the fusion are enormous. The biggest change is the harmlessness of all 'stages'. Since Ankaela's nightmare has stopped, no dangerous entities on the stage will appear again. Yes, 'Fairy Tale' is safe from now on, completely."
Yu Sheng paused for a moment when he said this. He saw Little Red Riding Hood taking a deep breath, Rapunzel shaking her body happily, and even the King snored softly and squinted his eyes with joy.
Yu Sheng smiled, and then continued, "Another change is that 'Fairy Tale' as a foreign land has changed from 'abnormal' to 'wilderness'. Its various subsets have now become different spaces that are actually hanging around this valley. Therefore, you can enter it in the flesh from now on, instead of relying on falling into a nightmare - yes, you can just walk straight over, into the Black Forest, into the tower, just like you are active and exploring in other places in the valley..."
He noticed that most people around the round table had subtle expressions on their faces.
"I know what you are thinking - those 'stages' didn't leave much of a good impression in your hearts, so I suggest that you go and have a look when you have time in the future, to see those places that scared you in the past. This will help to eliminate the psychological shadows that have accumulated over a long period of time. Believe me, this is very necessary. After all..."
Yu Sheng paused after saying this, and then slowly swept his eyes over everyone around the round table.
He was more serious than ever in his next words: "After all, each of you still has a long life ahead of you."
Many people were stunned.
Even those who were laughing just a moment ago were a little dazed at this moment.
Yu Sheng was not surprised by this situation.
After the long nightmare is over, the warm "feeling of reality" will emerge little by little. Even if you think you already know exactly what will happen next and that you have made all kinds of preparations, the details that you have never experienced or imagined will always bump into you inadvertently, making you stunned and gradually realize that everything has changed.
Rapunzel rubbed her eyes and muttered, "Brother, it's no use. I'm about to cry..."
As the eldest sister of everyone, Little Red Riding Hood was still the calmest and most sober one here. Although she was obviously stunned for a moment, she quickly reacted: "That means that from now on, no more children in the border area will be swallowed by nightmares brought about by 'fairy tales'... Then there will be no new 'Little Red Riding Hood' and new 'Snow White' in the future, right?"
Yu Sheng thought for a moment and looked at Little Red Riding Hood: "Is your wolf still there?"
"Still here," Little Red Riding Hood said, and a shadow wolf emerged from the shadow beside her. She rubbed the wolf's head and said casually, "Snow White's Thunder Titan and the king's men are all here too - everyone's abilities have not disappeared."
"And to be honest, if these abilities disappear, we really won't be able to get used to it," the girl with short curly hair sitting opposite Yu Sheng muttered. Her name is Dorothy. "I haven't charged my phone for two months..."
"Oh my god, you and the Machine Spirit are in big trouble." Snow White muttered.
Yu Sheng didn't pay attention to the muttering from across the table, but analyzed it seriously: "In theory, as the fairy tale is transformed from a 'nightmare collection' into a harmless alien space, it will no longer actively 'pull people' from the border to transform into new 'characters', but your abilities are still there, which means that part of the 'fairy tale' is still functioning normally - so theoretically, you should still be able to 'cultivate' the next generation of Little Red Riding Hoods and Snow Whites..."
Little Red Riding Hood was a little dazed when she heard this. It seemed like she had never thought about it in this direction before.
Every member of the fairy tale only wanted to stop the endless nightmare cycle of the "character" they represented, and took the initiative to "cultivate" it... This would never come out of their minds on their own initiative.
Yu Sheng was obviously not surprised by their reaction.
"This is what I said before, about the future of the Fairy Tale organization," he said seriously, his eyes sweeping over every face here, "It's time to think about the future. Fairy Tale has always been an organization formed by a group of orphans who stick together for warmth, but what happens after the nightmare is over? What are your plans for your own future? What about the future of the organization? Should Fairy Tale continue to operate as a spirit world detective organization? How long should it operate? Should it have new members? Every problem needs to be considered seriously."
"We..." The long-haired girl at the side opened her mouth, but soon showed hesitation on her face, "Well, we really haven't thought about these seriously. I haven't even thought about what will happen after next year. I..."
"I don't know anything else," Snow White folded her arms and rocked back and forth in her chair. She finally managed to speak after a while. "My grades are not good, and although everyone has to go to school and take exams in a 'normal' way, I have never thought about graduating, let alone what I will do after graduation. I guess I will still be a ghost detective in the future. After all, the income is quite high."
"We have to keep the orphanage going, with so many brothers and sisters," Little Red Riding Hood also spoke, but her words were obviously not as confident and fluent as usual. "At least we have to take care of them all until they grow up, but after that..."
She looked up, thought about it seriously, and smiled awkwardly: "I don't think I know anything else. I will probably be a ghost detective for the rest of my life."
"I, I, I can sing!" A petite and lively girl raised her hand, looking excited, "I am a big V now, and I gained tens of thousands of followers this week..."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Rapunzel immediately glared at the girl, "Shut up! You're the worst when it comes to fighting!"
"Ahem, then it's very clear that the 'Fairy Tale' organization will continue to operate as usual, and it will most likely be a long-term operation," Yu Sheng coughed twice, diverting everyone's attention. "Anyway, remember, the 'nightmare' is over, and the future 'Fairy Tale' will be a truly sound, stable, safe and controllable organization, so we must consider the issue of fresh blood and inheritance. But I'm just reminding you now, after all, this is all about the future.
"But you can also carefully study your own 'power' first, study the subtle changes in the Fairy Tale Alien Land and its impact on you. After all, I just merged the two alien lands. The ones who truly understand the Fairy Tale Alien Land best are you yourselves..."
Yu Sheng said a lot more, and as he spoke, he noticed that the area around the round table had become quiet at some point, and pairs of bright eyes were looking at him very seriously, and those gazes even made him feel a little pressured.
He paused awkwardly: "Am I being a bit nagging?"
"No Red Riding Hood nagging," Long Hair said casually, "She is very talkative during meetings."
Little Red Riding Hood reached out and patted Rapunzel on the back, then looked at Yu Sheng seriously.
The girl laughed.
"Not at all," she said seriously, "After all, you are now the parent of 'Fairy Tale' as well - the oldest one."
The long-haired princess who had just been slapped saw that the atmosphere was right, and immediately stood up and started to make a noise: "Come on, come on, everyone, call me brother together, I'll go first - Brother~"
Before Yu Sheng could react, he saw everyone around the table stood up.
The boys and girls were laughing, not in a neat and even deliberately chaotic way, shouting——
“Brother!”
"Brother~"
“Uncle Yu!”
"Uncle Yu!"
Yu Sheng: "...Who called that Uncle Yu at the end?!"
