Chapter 241 About the Aftermath
Yu Sheng had a strong curiosity, but he also knew his limits - he knew with his duodenum that Baili Xue's appearance definitely could not have been born with such extraordinary bones and bones, and there must be a tortuous and bizarre story behind it. If it were thrown to a TV series, it would probably have at least 80 episodes divided into three seasons, and at the end there would have to be two extra episodes. And from the many contacts he had with Baili Qing over such a long period of time and the attitude shown by Baili Xue, Yu Sheng could clearly feel that the two of them did not want to tell outsiders too much about this past.
At least, at this stage, he and Baili Qing are not that familiar with each other.
So Yu Sheng put his curiosity aside - temporarily.
Moreover, he had more important things to discuss with the female director in front of him - he was more curious about the Dark Angel.
"Ahem," Yu Sheng cleared his throat and looked at Baili Qing seriously, "What do you want to ask about Ankaela?"
"Everything," Baili Qing still had no expression on her face. No matter what happened in the end, every conversation between her and Yu Sheng would start with "you can hold on very well." "From the time you entered that wall until the angel fell, I want to know what happened in between. Of course, there is no free lunch in the world. The Secret Service is willing to pay any reward that does not cross the bottom line for this information."
Yu Sheng immediately perked up when he heard the last sentence, and leaned forward: "Then can the budget for rebuilding the two orphanages be transferred to the 'Hotel' and 'Fairy Tale' accounts respectively?"
Baili Qing just stood there with a serious face for almost five seconds.
“…Why two?”
Yu Sheng said calmly: "To get more."
"...Your request is beyond my expectation." Baili Qing's mouth twitched. This was the fastest transition from "being able to hold on" to "not being able to hold on" in all her interactions with Yu Sheng. "I thought you would ask for some privileges in the border area, such as access to the Secret Service's confidential database. These things cannot be measured by money..."
"But for a 'novice spirit world detective' who just figured out what the alien world is a while ago, what you said is basically useless, especially to me - database? Even if you just move your database to my house, I don't know where to start looking at it. I don't even know what I don't know," Yu Sheng laughed, "Besides, this is all nonsense. If I really have a problem, I can just come to you or Song Cheng directly. If you can know it, you will naturally tell me. If you can't let me know from the beginning, then in the end you must have ten thousand ways to keep it 'secret' from me - funds are more practical. The children of 'Fairy Tale' and I are really short of this thing. You don't know how expensive it is to raise a nine-tailed fox demon that has been hungry for decades..."
Baili Qing was stunned when she heard this. After a while, she raised her lips slightly and said, "You are very sober."
"I'm a pragmatist," Yu Sheng spread out his hands, "I just have a long-term vision."
"Okay, I can promise you that this is within my sphere of influence," Baili Qing agreed readily. "Compared to the impact that a 'fallen angel' would bring to the entire world, what you are asking for is not much."
"Then let's talk about 'Ankaela'," Yu Sheng laughed, and he adjusted his sitting position on the sofa, "It's a very long story - it starts from when we entered the 'umbilical cord' that stretched from the orphanage to the sky..."
Yu Sheng spoke very slowly and carefully, and Baili Qing listened very attentively. For a long time afterwards, Yu Sheng kept recalling and narrating the story. Baili Qing could not help but interrupt him only when he came across some parts that were too vague or unbelievable.
After a long time, Baili Qing stood up and poured a drink for himself and Yu Sheng respectively.
The look in her eyes seemed a little dazed.
Yu Sheng saw all these changes.
"It's incredible, isn't it?" He exhaled a long breath, "Especially after hearing the truth about Ankaela."
"... a spaceship from 'outside'," Baili Qing sat opposite, looking confused and tangled for the first time, "There are countless speculations about the origin and true purpose of the 'Dark Angel' in this world. I thought that among so many speculations, there should be at least one or two that are close to the truth, but I didn't expect the truth to be even more bizarre than the most outrageous speculation... It's actually a ship?!"
"It was a ship when it set out, but it obviously changed after it 'fell'," Yu Sheng reminded from the side. "I don't know how it works, but it seems to have changed its essence. There's even a soul in the steel."
Baili Qing looked thoughtful, and then she heard Yu Sheng's voice again: "Now there is another question."
"Another question?" Baili Qing frowned slightly.
"So is 'Ankaela' a special case, or are all the other Dark Angels the same as it?" Yu Sheng said seriously. "Ankaela is an Ark of Exile, what about the others? Tree Angels, Beauty Goddesses, Stars of Heka... As far as I know, each Dark Angel 'looks' different, and not only do they have strange appearances, but their abilities are also very different. What do you think... can they be the same as 'Ankaela'? If not, how much similarity do they have between them?"
Baili Qing fell into deep thought. After a long while, she slowly spoke: "In my opinion, they should all be different. At least they can't all be 'Ark of Exile' like Ankaela. After all, the differences between them... are too great. But on the other hand, the information you brought reveals a possibility, that is, other Dark Angels may also have similar 'distortion' phenomena."
Yu Sheng nodded solemnly.
Baili Qing continued to speak thoughtfully: "They 'entered' our world from outside the universe, and in the process of entering, they became unrecognizable, or in other words, they became something that 'we' could not 'recognize' or 'understand'. At least in Ankaela's case, this change was not something that the Dark Angel could actively activate and control...
"We have always regarded the Dark Angel as an actively attacking 'invader', but Ankaela is obviously more like a victim of an accident. It was 'thrown' into our world by some huge disaster in its hometown..."
“But this doesn’t mean that all dark angels are like this,” Yu Sheng reminded.
"Yes, we can only confirm that Ankaela is like this, and at most we can speculate that there are some other cases like it among the Dark Angels," Baili Qing nodded solemnly, "but even if there are more 'Ankaela', it cannot change the reality that the Dark Angels pose a huge threat to the world - after all, they don't need malice to cause a disaster. Their existence itself is already a disaster."
Yu Sheng did not say anything, but just recalled the huge umbilical cord stretching to the sky in the orphanage, and the "angel's fetus" that was almost born from the nightmare into the real world.
He knew that Baili Qing was right.
"What I am more concerned about now is whether there are other dark angels who also have 'minds' like Ankaela and can communicate," Baili Qing said, "If so, how many there are, and how to 'identify' them."
Yu Sheng thought about it, and looked at the serious-looking female director in front of him uncertainly: "Are you planning to launch me over wherever the Dark Angel descends next time?"
"Of course not." Baili Qing said sincerely, then turned her face away.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Yu Sheng: “…”
Ma'am, your attitude is very unbelievable! Yu Sheng's expression suddenly became extremely serious: "Let me tell you, there are too many variables in this incident, and many steps cannot be replicated - including the 'fairy tale book' used to establish contact with the Dark Angel, the children who acted as the 'medium', the squirrel, and the 'road' left for me by the deep diving team seventy years ago. If any one of these is missing, nothing will work.
"So it's not like I led two people into the wall and had a 'talk therapy' with the dark angel, and the angel immediately gave up his obsession and died with a 'ah' - if you really met an angel that descended and launched me over, then I would just die with a 'ah', and I might not even be able to utter a 'ah'..."
Baili Qing turned her face back.
"We won't do anything so rash," she continued sincerely.
Then she took a sip of her drink and changed the subject: "You just said that you 'fused' the 'fairy tale' foreign land with that valley?"
"Yes," Yu Sheng nodded calmly, "Now my valley has expanded again, and it has expanded more than twice. The people sent there by your Secret Service are all witnesses. You should receive a more detailed report from them soon, but you can also go and see it with your own eyes - I personally feel that the scenery after the integration is quite good. There are clouds in the sky, and the 'fairy tale area' on the edge of the valley has day and night changes, not as monotonous as before. You can go and experience the primitive style of the Black Forest, or overlook the scenery of the mountains from the high tower... By the way, the entrance fee to the tower is 20 yuan, I don't collect it, Rapunzel collects it."
Yu Sheng's tone was like that of a black tour guide who was trying to trick people into getting on a bus. Baili Qing couldn't hold back her expression as she listened. However, she was the director after all, so she quickly interrupted Yu Sheng with two dry coughs: "Ahem, so that means that the entire Fairy Tale organization has been 'incorporated' by you?"
"Not really," Yu Sheng waved his hand quickly, "They just live with me. Although it looks like they may have to stay for a long time in the future, 'Tale of Fairy Tale' is still independent. Of course, they now say that I am the eldest parent of 'Tale of Fairy Tale', which makes me very happy, but this is more of an honorary status..."
As Yu Sheng spoke, a heartfelt smile appeared on his face.
He was even happier than when Baili Qing agreed to transfer the budget for rebuilding the orphanage directly into the "hotel" account.
Baili Qing also smiled.
Even more relaxing than when I saw the angel fall.
