Chapter 260 The Second Door
So that was settled.
Then, the staff on site quickly found the "carrier" that Yu Sheng requested, a door dismantled from the ruins of an orphanage - made of iron, with two doors, one and a half inches thick, and a door frame three and a half meters wide. It was so heavy that it was difficult for an ordinary adult to push it open. It was lifted by a crane and stood there like a wall...
Yu Sheng was dumbfounded, and quickly explained to Li Lin that what he wanted was a very ordinary door, ordinary in the literal sense, the kind that even primary school students could push open - not this heavy security door that looked like the entrance to a big boss's secret base. This thing was cool to stand there, but without a power-assisting structure, the kids wouldn't be able to push it open...
"Hey, I misunderstood. When I heard it was a portal connecting the valley and reality, I thought of it like the customs gates in the bureau," Li Lin touched his nose awkwardly, "I was thinking that if this door is not big enough, I will call the leader and ask Engineer Sun to come over..."
Yu Sheng and Irene said in unison: "Just let Mr. Sun go!"
Li Lin smiled awkwardly and waved his hand, then asked the crane to throw the heavy-duty three-proof door that was originally placed in the basement of the orphanage back into the ruins. Then, after a while, a door that was at least normal was delivered to the open space.
An iron door, old in black and red, with iron decorations on the surface that looked like it was from at least twenty years ago, and some colorful stickers. It was sent to the open space along with the door frame, and then temporarily propped up on the remaining brick wall.
"Hey, this is the door of the big office in the east building!" Rapunzel recognized it immediately, "I was the one who put the sticker on the door!"
Yu Sheng nodded with satisfaction: "That's fine - the next step is to arrange the alchemy. Irene, please help me watch over it. I will try to draw the spell with amplification nodes that you taught me last time..."
As he spoke, he took a piece of chalk, put Irene on the ground next to him, and began to draw an alchemical array with complex amplification nodes in front of the door.
By the way, the chalk was obtained from Hu Li. This girl's tail is really full of everything. I don't know why she stuffed a box of chalk in it... It can't be for food, right? Li Lin stood not far away and watched the scene with wide eyes. After obtaining consent, he even took out his mobile phone and turned on the video function. He knew very well that what he recorded at this moment might even be sent directly to the director's office. Although Yu Sheng himself might not be aware of this, this part of the information... could allow colleagues in the technical department to work overtime for a week.
This was the first time that the Secret Service had closely and intuitively recorded the process of a "humanoid entity in the living world" opening and solidifying a portal on a real carrier.
He glanced around with the corner of his eye and saw that the Secret Service agents who had been patrolling the periphery had consciously come nearby. All the large and small detection equipment should have been turned on at this time, recording any subtle changes that occurred in the open space in front of them.
Actually, Li Lin still felt a little guilty. After all, although Yu Sheng said that he didn't mind people watching or even taking photos and videos, the sight of such a large group of Secret Service agents gathered together and using various detection equipment to do on-site scans was a bit offensive. He was afraid that Yu Sheng would be dissatisfied with this - but after watching for a while, he knew why Yu Sheng didn't mind the Secret Service agents watching here at all.
Because he found that what Yu Sheng drew on the ground was the most normal alchemical spirit infusion formula, and it was even a simplified version.
He also knows this stuff - they were taught the basics during the training. Not to mention the operators in the field, even Ren Wenwen in the office knows it.
At this time, the "auxiliary materials" sent by the Secret Service Bureau also arrived. Li Lin watched Yu Sheng pick out some materials from the pile to use in the alchemy array, and then threw the rest directly into the fox's tail.
Afterwards, candles were lit at several basic nodes of the rune array. The candle flames flickered in the outdoor environment, but as various materials such as crystal dust, essential oils, and tea powder were added, the flames quickly stabilized.
Hu Li squatted outside the alchemy circle, watching the benefactor draw the circle while eating a skewer of grilled mushrooms with gusto. Rapunzel beside him saw that the food was so delicious that she walked over and said, "Let me have a taste..."
Hu Li immediately held the grilled mushrooms in his arms, turned his head and bared his teeth at Rapunzel, making a threatening "Woo-oo-oo" growl from his throat.
Rapunzel was not annoyed, because she had teased Hu Li in the same way before at the barbecue party. At this time, she just walked away with a playful smile: "Tsk, if you don't want to give it to me, then don't give it to me."
"You guys step back, especially you silly fox, don't drop oil on the line," Irene walked back and forth in the alchemy circle to check, occasionally giving Yu Sheng some instructions, "Hey, Yu Sheng, you missed a line here... Come and fill it in. I tell you, theoretically this part cannot be filled in later, but anyway, you didn't explain the principles when you were doing alchemy, so you can fill it in..."
There was nothing professional about the scene.
Li Lin held his breath for a long time before finally giving up. Although theoretically, no one should interrupt during such a large-scale alchemical ritual, seeing that the few people in front of him had already eaten the skewers, he decided to ignore the theories he had learned. "That's... that's it? Is your portal fixed in reality like this?"
Yu Sheng raised his head: "This is just the first step."
Li Lin immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "I told you, when I first learned it..."
"In the second step, just add the last auxiliary ingredient." Yu Sheng continued.
Then he took out his precious sword from his pocket and started sawing at his hand...
Li Lin: “……?”
"Hu Li, come and bite me," Yu Sheng put down the knife helplessly, raised his head and glanced at the fox girl who had finished eating the roasted mushrooms, "I really need to change my knife."
"Oh!" Hu Li immediately came over happily, opened his mouth wide and bit Yu Sheng's wrist, with his sharp teeth making a sizzling sound...
She had finally gotten used to Yu Sheng's strange "characteristics", and now she no longer felt sorry for taking a bite of her benefactor's hand.
Yu Sheng quickly channeled his blood into the gate, executing the truly important last step of the "ritual" -
Thinking.
Think hard.
Thinking about it, a corresponding door in the valley was slowly taking shape.
In fact, he could have built the corresponding gate on the other side of the valley in advance and then come here to open the door. When the two sides were connected, the effect would be the same. But he was lazy, and the valley was under his remote control anyway, so he would make fewer trips if he could.
A slight friction sound came from both sides of the simple iron door, and the candlelight on the ground was suddenly pulled by an invisible force, and the flame instantly rose higher.
Li Lin, who was still in a daze the moment before, suddenly started to wake up - he saw that the door was growing and deforming.
Structures that looked like biological tissues extended from both sides of the door and began to quickly merge with the brick wall. The surface of the brick wall continued to wriggle and undulate, completely fixing and embedding the door while also generating a surface layer that looked extremely tough and rock-like.
Suddenly, an idea... or a "cognition" popped into his mind: this door is alive.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Those messy alchemical formulas and auxiliary materials are actually useless. All the images and test data recorded just now are meaningless. The only meaningful one is the last step, which is a step that cannot be recorded or analyzed by any instrument. All the changes happened in the few seconds when Yu Sheng gave his blood to the door and pressed the doorknob with his eyes closed to think.
Yu Sheng turned the door handle.
The newly born gate cheered silently in the real world, celebrating its own life. Structures that looked like biological tissues and integrated with the walls pulsated and swelled vigorously in a dimension that was unobservable to humans, issuing their first heartbeat.
Then, this door presented a distant landscape to its creator.
Snow White and her seven Thunder Titans were standing opposite the door, and a girl with long, smooth hair and a light blue dress was curiously leaning on the door - that was the "mermaid", and the arrogant king was squatting on her head.
"Sister Red Hat! And Brother Yu!" The mermaid happily greeted the people at the door, "Hey, the door is really open!"
"Human, you are very powerful," the king nodded to the stranger through the door with dignity, then stretched his head forward and said, "Come, rub my head quickly."
Yu Sheng smiled and stretched out his hand, directly hugged the king from the other side of the door, put him in his arms and purred him - the cat didn't get angry, and after being rubbed, it jumped gracefully to the ground and raised its head to look at this place.
"Alas, what a devastation this is," the tabby cat sighed in a very human way, then raised his hand and a bard in a short robe appeared next to it, "I want to recite a poem for this scene - but I can't, so you come."
The bard took out a feather pen and parchment from his bosom and began to write poetry with his head down.
Yu Shengze breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the new gate could really continue to operate normally without his maintenance. He turned to the still stunned Li Lin and said cheerfully: "Okay, I've finished it now. Do you understand?"
"...Don't even mention me. I'm afraid even the director wouldn't understand it," Li Lin smiled bitterly and spread his hands. His attitude was quite calm. "No wonder you don't mind us watching from the side."
He paused, and looked at the door curiously. "Does this mean that we can directly enter the valley through this door? Do we need to set up a sentry post or something like that? In addition to the node, we need to arrange some extra guards to prevent bad guys who can bypass the node from breaking in. Considering the special nature of you and the Fairy Tale organization, the director should not mind allocating some special personnel."
"There won't be any need for guards. I'll have Little Red Riding Hood and the others arrange a rotating guard post to watch over the gate. The main purpose is to prevent children from sneaking out," Yu Sheng said. "Don't worry about someone breaking in - this door requires permission. People without permission cannot enter that passage even if the door is open."
Li Lin seemed to understand something: "Just like No. 66 Wutong Road?"
Yu Sheng smiled and said, "Yes, it's just like No. 66 Wutong Road."
