Chapter 33 Delayed Effectiveness?
Yu Sheng thought that his blood seemed to have no effect on Irene - perhaps it was because the oil painting that served as a sealing medium prevented the blood from penetrating, or perhaps it was because Irene, as a puppet, was not affected by the blood. More likely... Hu Li, who was affected, was a special case.
After waiting for a long time and nothing happened, Irene in the painting lost her patience. She looked up at the top of the picture frame and muttered, "Then why don't you wipe the blood off? After all, this is where I live. It's unlucky to have so much blood on it..."
Yu Sheng: "...You are a weird puppet sealed in an oil painting, and you still have the mind to complain about this! Just standing here is unlucky enough!"
Irene was dissatisfied when she heard this: "Who said I'm unlucky? How can I be unlucky when I'm so pretty? Some people even put a wall of plastic figurines in their house, and you think it's unlucky to poke a painting of a beautiful girl against the wall?!"
Yu Sheng was stunned as he listened to this. He couldn't imagine how this guy could put all this content into one paragraph.
But he still waved his hand, muttered "How can this be the same?", stood up and took out a wet tissue, ready to wipe the blood off the picture frame.
Can't be wiped off.
Yu Sheng was stunned for a moment, and seeing that the wet wipe had no effect, he rubbed the picture frame hard (he didn't dare rub the canvas too hard for fear of damaging it), but the bloodstain remained motionless.
But compared to the indelible bloodstains on the picture frame, Yu Sheng paid more attention to the situation on the wet wipes - there was not even a trace of red mark.
Even if the bloodstains were difficult to wipe off, it couldn't be like this!
Irene couldn't see the situation with the wipes, she just looked up and saw Yu Sheng suddenly froze, and suddenly felt a little uneasy: "Uh, what happened?"
"It can't be wiped off," Yu Sheng said in a daze, looking at the bloodstains that seemed to have become part of the frame. "It's not that it seeped in, but... it's just like the original color of the frame."
Irene did not respond.
Yu Sheng lowered his head in confusion and saw the doll in the painting staring at him blankly, as if its brain had suddenly lost its wiring. After another two or three seconds, Irene's expression gradually changed from dull to horrified, as if she suddenly remembered something. She suddenly raised her finger and pointed at Yu Sheng, screaming, "Ah, Yu Sheng, you... you... die... die..."
Yu Sheng was stunned for a second, then he understood what happened. Seeing that Irene was still screaming, he calmly sat down on the chair opposite: "Don't shout 'die' so much, it's unlucky - although the actual number of times is indeed a bit high."
Irene stopped suddenly, looked at Yu Sheng, and then continued screaming.
Yu Sheng had to get up and find a way to calm the frightened doll - she was much more uncalm than the fox.
However, verbal comfort obviously had limited effect. Perhaps it was because the impact of the blood's delayed effect was too fierce, she seemed extremely excited.
Fortunately, Yu Sheng suddenly had an idea and came up with a solution.
The next second, he picked up Irene's oil painting, swung it vigorously in the air, and finally threw it into the air while spinning. After catching it, he swung it twice more and put it back on the table.
He watched as Miss Doll struggled to climb onto the chair covered with a red velvet carpet.
Erin stopped screaming.
Irene's scolding was really harsh.
However, this time, Yu Sheng was very familiar with calming the puppet - he finally calmed the puppet down, and then communicated with the puppet clearly about the situation while Irene was still cursing in anger.
At the same time, he finally confirmed that his blood was also effective on Irene who was in a sealed state. Although it seemed that the blood only acted on the painting frame, for some reason, Irene was indeed affected by it, and the same thing happened to her as Hu Li: she recalled the "incident" of Yu Sheng's death that she had witnessed.
However, up to now, Yu Sheng has not been able to sense Irene's "thoughts" and "memories" like he did when he was with Hu Li before.
He looked up at the still angry doll, and didn't dare to say that he actually suspected that Irene was lacking in both of these things...
Irene was still angry, but no matter what, Yu Sheng's "return of the dead" had a greater impact on her than the "roller coaster" just now, and her focus was still on Yu Sheng's "resurrection".
"You said... this isn't the first time?" She stared at Yu Sheng, still with disbelief in her tone.
"Well, actually it had already started before I met you," Yu Sheng thought for a moment, recalling the frog in the rain, "but don't ask me the principle. It's just like the door just now. I only know that there is such a thing, but I don't know how it happened..."
"Are there any side effects or costs?" Irene asked immediately.
"At present... I haven't found anything," Yu Sheng hesitated for a moment and said carefully. In this matter, he still put away his nonchalant attitude, "Including physical and mental, no problems have been found."
Irene still stared at Yu Sheng's eyes and said, "Then we should try to avoid this kind of 'resurrection' in the future."
Yu Sheng sighed helplessly: "Of course I know."
"The sequelae may be in the distant future, and the price may be in ways you can't imagine." Irene seemed to be afraid that Yu Sheng didn't really understand the warning, and she patiently explained, "Everything in the world tends to return to balance. Things that are beyond reason and order will always encounter the 'counterattack' brought about by reason and order, and resurrection from the dead... It is really the most outrageous situation of all super-rational events. Although you said you didn't find any problems, I don't believe it."
She paused for a moment, then explained with a serious face: "It's not that I don't believe you, it's that I don't believe the 'appearance' of this matter."
"I understand, I understand," Yu Sheng nodded seriously, but then spread his hands helplessly, "But then again, do you think that any of the times I died were voluntary?"
Irene: “…Yes.”
"I just have a good attitude. After all, there is no other way. I can only maintain a good attitude in the situation in the valley," Yu Sheng sighed, "I understand your worries. Don't worry, I know what I am doing."
Irene stared at him for a long time, and finally withdrew her gaze while mumbling, "Okay, just remember it... I'm still waiting for you to give me a body."
Yu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.
I have to say, this doll's ability to accept things is really strong. She accepted such an outrageous thing so easily in the end...

Irene suddenly raised her head again, with an expression that she couldn't hold back. "Oh, if it wasn't me, I'd really be wondering if you are a human being! Are you really sure that you were born and raised by your parents? Can't you recall whether you had any…" during your childhood?
Yu Sheng: “…”
He retracted his thought. It seemed that the puppet's ability to accept was not that strong.
Yu Sheng said a few perfunctory words and did not pay attention to the puppet's subsequent mumbling. After testing the "blood", he still remembered his original plan.
Continue to familiarize yourself with the ability and characteristics of "opening the door" and find ways to reproduce the channel and accurately locate the "landing point".
Until the door to the valley can be opened.
Go and bring food to Hu Li.
Irene finally calmed down. She watched Yu Sheng holding the handle of the kitchen door. After hesitating for a long time, she couldn't help but ask, "Even if we really find the 'door' back to that valley, have you thought about how to deal with 'hunger' afterwards?"
Yu Sheng slowly turned the handle, sensing the subtle feeling coming from the depths of the so-called "spiritual intuition," and slowly spoke: "We'll take it one step at a time."
"You haven't thought it through at all!?" Without turning around, I could tell that Irene must have glared at him again, "So are you going to deliver food to Hu Li or to that monster?"
"I mean, if we can defeat the monster, then we can do it. It's also good if we can temporarily destroy the physical incarnation of 'Hunger', which will most likely help Hu Li escape from the influence of Hunger. If we can't defeat it, then we can find a way to bring Hu Li out through the 'door', but this will have side effects, and Hu Li may be targeted by 'Hunger' again. If the second method doesn't work, then at least send some food in to make Hu Li feel better. Anyway, as long as we have a stable way to open the door, everything can be considered in the long run.
"What I meant by taking things one step at a time is to choose one of these three options depending on the situation. But as for how to deal with that 'entity'... I really don't have any idea right now."
"Well, since you've planned it to this extent, it's fine," Irene sounded relieved, "as long as you don't just go in and deliver food to that monster."
Yu Sheng thought about it, but still didn't say "After eating me, the monster's mouth and stomach won't match each other", because once he said this, he didn't know how much the puppet would beep...
With this insignificant thought in his mind, he slowly opened the kitchen door.
An endless darkness came into view, with dim stars twinkling in the distant darkness, and other than that... there seemed to be nothing outside the door.
Yu Sheng looked at the empty scene on the other side of the door in confusion. After a moment, he suddenly reacted and slammed the door shut.
"Surprised, it's outer space!"
