Chapter 276 It's Over
For ordinary people, No. 66 Wutong Road is invisible.
But for the Secret Service agents who have certain spiritual talents and have received focused training, the "no-entry" open space occupied by 66 Wutong Road and the strange wall at the end of the open space are visible.
And now, the open space and the wall at the end of the open space disappeared, disappeared into the quiet night - without making any sound, as if they had never existed.
Two Secret Service agents rushed out of the station almost in a flash, and then stared at the narrow alley in front of them in amazement. They faced the cold night wind, and sweat flowed from the back of their necks to their feet.
Their specially trained keen observation skills allowed them to quickly determine the situation of several surrounding houses in the dark, and confirmed that all of these houses had undergone varying degrees of displacement and deformation. Some buildings that were originally at the other end of the open space were now moved just a few feet away, and some empty houses that were not originally adjacent to each other were now townhouses. All of this gave people the feeling...
It was as if the space here had been forcibly "stretched" by something, and now the "foreign object" that stretched the space suddenly left, so the space-time in this area, which had been in a deformed state for a long time without anyone noticing, returned to its original state silently.
One of the Secret Service agents wiped the sweat from his forehead and turned to look at his companion: "...What should we do?"
"What else can we do? Report it to the higher-ups," said another Secret Service agent, who looked no better. "Anyway, this matter will definitely alert the director."
"…How can I explain this?"
"Just say whatever you see. This is beyond our authority," the young operator sighed, and then his face became tense again. "It shouldn't be because of what we did that drove people away, right?"
"It shouldn't be that serious. When Yu Sheng took Hu Li out for a walk, I said hello to them. They seemed to be in a good mood at the time..."
…
Thick fog flowed and undulated on the street like some kind of viscous fluid with substance, but all the fog remained a few meters away from No. 66 Wutong Road, forming a clear "boundary" where not even a trace of fog could "penetrate" in.
"It really works!" Yu Sheng was very happy. He turned around and said to Irene and Hu Li who came over to watch the fun, "Once the door is opened, we will be on the foggy side!"
Irene didn't say anything for a while. She first took two cautious steps out of the house, looked around and then looked back. Then she looked at Yu Sheng with suspicion: "I say... did you really just open a door? Why do I feel that this atmosphere... is not right? No, the whole house is standing here! And I feel a little weird looking at these things around. The electric pole over there should have been a little more to the left..."
Yu Sheng then looked around carefully, frowning as if he was sensing something. After a long while, he touched his chin unconfidently and said, "Maybe it's a little crooked."
Irene seemed to have realized it by now: "…What did you do wrong?!"
"house."
“…What the hell?!”
"If the theory is correct, I should have successfully 'landed' the entire No. 66 Wutong Road on the foggy side, and the whole process is controllable," Yu Sheng scratched his hair and explained to the little doll what he had done. "Didn't the whole house fall into the alien land? I thought that since the house can 'descend' into the alien land like a person, it means that it is really 'moving' like a person. Maybe it's what you said, people have human souls, machines have machine souls, and rooms have room souls. Then I decided to give it a try to see if this process can be actively guided and controlled. So when I opened the door, I regarded the entire No. 66 Wutong Road as part of the door frame..."
Irene’s eyes almost popped out of her head: “…This is even possible?!”
Then she looked around again, and then ran back in two steps: "Are you really not kidding me? It's really not 'the shadow of No. 66 Wutong Road also exists on this side of the fog'? Did you really bring the real house here?"
Yu Sheng raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you think that 66 Wutong Road will cast a shadow in this thick fog like other ordinary buildings?"
"...Well, that seems to be true. No. 66 Wutong Road is an exotic place after all, and a very special one at that." Irene scratched her hair, "and you drove it crookedly..."
“There’s no need to emphasize this.”
"My benefactor, what should we do next?" Hu Li blinked and turned to look at Yu Sheng. She didn't look nervous at all. Instead, her big eyes were filled with a hint of eager anticipation, and her big tail was wagging. "Are we going out?"
"Wait a minute, let's go back first." Yu Sheng didn't rush out, but closed the door first, "Let's check the situation in the valley."
"Valley? Oh, yes!" Irene reacted immediately. "You took away the entire No. 66 Wutong Road! I wonder if the connection to the valley has been affected!"
Soon, Yu Sheng brought the fox and the puppet to the basement, and then pushed open the fixed portal leading to the valley.
The three of them saw a quiet valley shrouded in “night”.
Yu Sheng arrived at the portal platform and looked up at the sky - the artificial night created by thick clouds enveloped the entire valley, which was of course created by him.
Now he is very familiar with this job. Every day when it gets dark in the real world outside, he "draws the curtains" in the valley, and lets it out again when he gets up early the next day. He uses this simple and direct method to maintain the normal day and night alternation in the valley - and at the same time solves the two major problems of vegetables not growing well and the kids not sleeping well at night.
Even the vegetable greenhouse is saved.
Then, Yu Sheng sensed the situation of the portal in the "town" again.
"Not bad. It seems that the 'movement' of No. 66 Wutong Road will not affect the portals that have been built," he nodded and said with satisfaction, "The environment of the valley itself has not changed either."
The group returned to the living room.
Yu Sheng took out his phone and took a look: "The signal is also normal."
"The whole house has fallen to the 'other side', but there is still signal on the phone?" Irene was surprised and leaned over to take a look, her face full of disbelief, "What's going on with this house..."
"How would I know?" Yu Sheng shrugged. "Hasn't it been an unsolved mystery since the beginning that there was a signal in this house? Do you want to solve it now?"
"It doesn't matter whether it's a puzzle or not, I just suddenly remembered something." Irene thought for a while and suddenly thought of something, "You just moved the whole house into this place, do you think the Secret Service needs to..."
Yu Sheng was startled: "Oh my god! It seems to be like this..."
Before he could finish his words, he heard a rapid ring from his cell phone.
The caller was Baili Qing - the person who topped Yu Sheng's recent call records.
Irene glanced at the screen. "You should open a family number with her. You can save some money on phone bills."
Yu Sheng waved his hand to quiet the chatterbox, then carefully answered the call with an awkward and guilty smile on his face (although the director sister on the other end couldn't see it): "Um, good evening, Director Baili."
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but as soon as he said the polite words “Director Baili”, he heard a faint exhalation sound from the other side, as if Baili Qing suddenly relaxed.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Then the cold and calm voice came from the receiver: "I received a report from Wutong Road Station saying... um, that the entire 'plot' where your house was located is gone."
Yu Sheng: “…”
To be honest, he really didn't expect this "phenomenon" - the entire plot of land disappeared? How could it be so amazing?
He thought that at most the Secret Service had received another alarm or something. After all, the way he opened the door this time was quite unique, and the automatic filtering system that had just been put into operation might not be able to recognize it.
During the moment of silence on Yu Sheng's side, Baili Qing spoke again: "What happened?"
Yu Sheng raised his head and looked at the foggy street outside. He tried to think about how to arrange the words in a logical way to form a sentence that was as accurate and true as possible. After careful consideration for several times, he finally broke the silence: "I just saw fog outside, an abnormal kind of fog, so I came out to check the situation."
"...Um, so?"
"I brought the house along with me."
Baili Qing: “……?”
Irene, who was standing next to her, almost jumped up from the coffee table: "You've been holding it in for so long and that's all you can say?!"
"I know this is hard to understand, because I just developed this new function," Yu Sheng pulled the corner of his mouth and explained to Baili Qing, "Don't worry, nothing happened, I'm fine here - my house is fine too."
Baili Qing's silence was deafening.
Irene sat cross-legged on the coffee table, nodding her head with a look of understanding, translating the silence: "She was cursing, it was very unpleasant, the radius of her relatives was at least three generations."
Yu Sheng ignored the puppet.
He heard the director on the other end of the phone exhale softly.
"Return it back?" Baili Qing asked calmly, and then added in a slightly awkward tone, "I mean, you and your... house, are you returning them?"
Yu Sheng was also a little awkward when he answered: "Uh, come back."
"About what time?"
"Maybe... before tomorrow morning?" Yu Sheng thought for a moment and said uncertainly, "The main thing is that I want to go out and check the situation. You don't know, it's foggy outside, I don't know if it will be smooth sailing..."
"Do you need support? I can send a deep-sea team over."
"That's not necessary. I'll just take Irene and Hu Li with me. It will be more convenient with fewer people."
"Okay - then remember to turn on the environmental recording function in 'Border Communications'. Also, remember to send a message when you come back."
"Uh, okay."
