Chapter 259 Good Place
Yu Sheng told Little Red Riding Hood the purpose of his visit, and the girl's eyes immediately lit up.
"Oh! Are you finally going to open a 'special door' for us? That's great! Teacher Su told me yesterday that it's a bit troublesome to have to ask you to open the door after get off work, and Changfa has been nagging me all day... Where are you going to open it?"
"This side is easy," Yu Sheng raised his hand and pointed to a place not far away. "Just find a spacious and stable place at the resettlement site and poke the door. I think the open space in the middle of the town is good. The key is the door to the 'outside' - it has to be opened in the real world, can't be seen by ordinary people, and can't be too remote. It has to take into account your future needs to go out, and the convenience of 'employees' like Teacher Su to go to get off work."
"It's in Lvyuan Plaza," the long-haired princess beside him interrupted, "There are so many milk tea shops over there—"
But no one paid any attention to her.
Little Red Riding Hood lowered her head and thought seriously, and seemed to have an idea.
"Why not open it at the old site of the orphanage?" She raised her head, her face serious. "Look, first of all, we are familiar with that place. Although we live in a new house now, if the 'home gate' is opened near the old gate of the orphanage, there will be no big difference in going out and going to work. Teacher Su and others don't have to change the route to go to get off work. Secondly, our orphanage has always been a block of land shielded by the node device. Now that the Dark Angel incident has just ended, the node must not have been dismantled. Let's talk to the Secret Service and set the door there directly. We don't have to worry about ordinary people seeing the portal, and we don't have to build a new shielding node.
"Of course the only problem is that it was razed to the ground. It should still be a ruin. I don't know if there is a place to put the gate..."
Yu Sheng listened to the girl's analysis, his eyes lit up and he couldn't help but sigh: "High school students have good brains, it's true what you said... Then why don't we go over there and take a look first?"
Little Red Riding Hood thought about it and nodded gently: "Well, that's just right... I also want to go and see what it looks like there now."
Rapunzel at the side jumped out again after hearing this: "Where to? Our 'hometown'? Well, I'll go too! I haven't been back to see it since it was over... Oh, I didn't have time to bring a lot of things with me, a lot of novels and several action figures... Hey, will you take me with you?"
At this time, Yu Sheng had already casually opened a door leading to the orphanage (old site). Little Red Riding Hood stood at the door and turned to look at her roommate who was muttering non-stop: "If you dawdle again, I really won't take you with me - just come if you want to, why are you talking so much nonsense?"
Rapunzel's face suddenly lit up with smiles and she quickly walked over, "Hey! Good!"
It only took a moment to cross the gate, and the scenery before their eyes changed, and they had returned from the paradise-like valley to the gate of the old orphanage.
Of course, everything in front of me is no longer what I remember.
The mottled and towering wall was almost crushed into pieces in the final outburst of the Dark Angel, and now only countless broken bricks and tiles are left collapsed on the roadside. The two main buildings in the courtyard were once the umbilical cord of the angel's fetus, but now with the broken umbilical cord, they have become huge wreckage collapsed in the ruins. The original outdoor activity area, where the children laughed and played, was once drenched in nightmare substances. Now that the nightmare has subsided, the swings, slides and see-saws have all turned into broken fragments, presenting a texture like charcoal.
And of that big sand pit, only a charred and hardened depression remained.
Little Red Riding Hood looked at the scene in front of her for a long time without saying a word.
The long-haired princess who came out of the gate looked at the ruins with wide eyes. After a long while, she forced a seemingly heartless smile, took a deep breath and patted Yu Sheng on the shoulder: "Brother, it's just as you said, it's all collapsed, it's all collapsed."
Yu Sheng said nothing, just patted Little Red Riding Hood on the back.
Of course, there was more than just ruins at the scene.
There are Secret Service guys here, too—the cleanup guys.
There are technicians responsible for testing the environment, Secret Service agents who are fully armed and still on alert, construction teams who are clearing the rubble, and large demolition equipment that is rumbling.
Yu Sheng saw a familiar figure among the Secret Service agents on guard at the scene: Li Lin.
The latter also saw him and immediately walked towards him quickly.
Li Lin, wearing protective equipment and carrying a gun, looked much more reliable than before. After he came over, he first greeted Yu Sheng and others, and then his eyes fell on Little Red Riding Hood: "Come to see today?"
Little Red Riding Hood nodded, and Yu Sheng next to her said, "Not only did I come here to take a look, but there is another thing - I plan to open a permanent portal here."
Li Lin's expression instantly became serious: "Permanent portal?"
"Didn't the 'Fairy Tale' move to my backyard as a whole? It's for them, to provide a convenient passage to reality," Yu Sheng explained. "I've talked to your director about this before, but the address has not been decided. We just discussed it and think it's best to put it here - the surrounding 'nodes' haven't been demolished yet, right?"
"Of course not," Li Lin nodded quickly. "Even if you don't come, those nodes have to be kept. After all, this area was once parasitized by angels. The entire area must be blocked for at least ten years before development assessment can be done again... Do you really want to open the door here?"
"Well," Yu Sheng didn't have any psychological burden. After all, he knew the situation in Ankaela best. There was no problem with the Secret Service following the procedures, but he knew that this place was actually quite safe. "I just don't know how the cleaning progress is going. Can there be a place for me to 'work'?"
Li Lin's expression was a bit nervous, and perhaps also a little excited and a little expectant. "Well, what are your requirements for opening a fixed door? How big a site is? What materials are needed? Do you need to clear the area first? Do you need to call Engineer Sun over to build a temporary shed for you?"
Yu Sheng was a little confused by his series of questions. He felt that the other party's excitement was as if the door was not opened for the children in the orphanage, but for his family. Then he subconsciously asked, "Is Mr. Sun also in charge of this matter?"
Before Li Lin could even open his mouth, Irene, who was leaning on his shoulder, said quietly, "Brother Tumu is like this."
Yu Sheng touched the tip of his nose awkwardly: "Okay... But there's no need to be so troublesome, and there's no need to clear the area. Just find me a cleared space that won't get in the way in the future. The materials are simple. The main material is a door, just an ordinary door, which acts as a 'carrier', and the auxiliary materials..."
He paused and took a deep breath.
Li Lin's ominous premonition suddenly arose.
If he had a richer vocabulary, his spiritual intuition would have been bursting with energy at this time.
Yu Sheng said in one breath: "Five bundles of ritual candles, three barrels of rose essential oil, 2.5L, crystal dust, twelve pounds, psychic ink, two thermoses, and then four roast chickens, twenty steamed buns, twenty steamed buns, two boxes of ham sausages - and twenty skewers of grilled mushrooms."
"Me, me, me," Rapunzel beside her raised her hands vigorously, "I also want a ticket to the X-star concert!"
Little Red Riding Hood poked Rapunzel's arm. "Why do you want that? Why don't you let the mermaid sing for you? She can even reproduce the screams of the audience. If you close your eyes, it's just like listening to the performance."
"That's different!"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Li Lin was dumbfounded. He looked at the notepad on his phone for a long time before finally saying, "...Brother Yu, this...I have to report this to my boss."
When Yu Sheng thought about who the other party's leader was, he was immediately happy: "It's okay, you report."
"Did I really report what you said?"
"Report it, report it."
Li Lin walked aside and called Captain Song: "Hello? Leader, I have a situation... Yu Sheng came to see me and said he wanted to open a fixed door and asked for some materials... How did you know there were grilled mushrooms?!"
A moment later, the young Secret Service agent came back with a strange expression: "The leader approved it."
Yu Sheng just looked at him and laughed.
"The door you want is right here," Li Lin coughed twice and quickly adjusted his state. "If it's just an ordinary door, there are many intact ones dismantled from the ruins, which can be used directly. The other 'auxiliary materials' will be delivered later. It will be delivered in more than half an hour by taking the 'shortcut'. As for the vacant land you want..."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed to a corner of the ruins of the orphanage.
"That should be fine, right? It's one of the few places in the entire compound that hasn't been damaged. It's just a coincidence that when the umbilical cord broke, so many fragments fell from the sky, but they didn't hit that place. You can put the door there first, and we'll ask Engineer Sun to come and build a roof over the door to keep it out of the wind and rain, or just build a house. This will be the 'communication room' of the new 'Fairy Tale' headquarters in the future..."
Li Lin was muttering to himself, while Yu Sheng looked in the direction of his finger and saw a piece of open space that was still intact among the ruins.
It was right at the edge of the original outdoor activity area. There was another tree next to the open space, a tree that was also not hit by the falling tree. There was also a brick wall nearby, half of which had collapsed, with a small section still standing stubbornly next to the collapsed swing set.
Yu Sheng looked at that place for a long time.
He remembered that a long, long time ago, there was a Cinderella who lived to be 26 years old. She stood in front of the brick wall and the swing, smiling quietly, looking at Old Zheng who was still Little Zheng at that time.
There was also a young Little Red Riding Hood who took the then young Wang Jiajia to plant a tree in the open space. Now the tree has grown up.
In the future, there will be another door here.
To that sunny valley.
"Okay," Yu Sheng smiled slowly, "I think this place is great."
