Chapter 57 Getting on the Line
"I don't really understand things in the supernatural realm," Yu Sheng said calmly to Li Lin and the other two, who looked confused, "especially foreign realms and entities. In fact, I don't know much about things outside of the boundary city - so I have been looking for 'professionals' like you, hoping that you can answer my many questions."
Li Lin and Xu Jiali looked at each other in bewilderment. They were both very surprised after hearing Yu Sheng's words. Little Red Riding Hood couldn't help but look Yu Sheng up and down several times: "You...you mean you have never come into contact with alien worlds and entities before?! You have only recently started dealing with this kind of things?!"
"I have been living a peaceful and ordinary life for the past twenty years," Yu Sheng spread out his hands and told the truth, "I only recently started to encounter those messy things. I am a complete novice in this area."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Jiali's expression on the side began to get a little tense - he just started to contact the alien world recently, right? And he can beat up the hungry entities with a danger level of more than three, and he can also open a door to a wasteland planet millions of light years away. He goes in and out of the alien world like he is at home... What kind of "newbie" is this? Is he still a human? !
He exchanged glances with Li Lin beside him. Both of them had their minds racing, considering countless things in an instant.
First of all, they were almost certain that the time and space dislocation phenomenon that caused chaos in the Secret Service was definitely related to the man named "Yu Sheng" in front of them, and the evidence was on the door that the other party opened casually.
Yes, at your leisure.
The second point is that you must not be fooled by the word "newbie" that Yu Sheng calls himself. Regardless of whether he has really just started to come into contact with things related to alien worlds and entities, the power he possesses does not seem like that of an ordinary human who has just begun to be influenced by alien worlds.
Either the word "newbie" is fake, or the identity of "ordinary human" is fake - or simply both are fake.
What's more, it is impossible for ordinary humans to live in a house that is so obviously wrong.
"I want to confirm one thing first," Li Lin hesitated and asked, "You have always lived here, right?"
"Yes," Yu Sheng nodded. He didn't intend to tell outsiders that he came here from another "boundary city", so he simply admitted that he had always lived in this house. Anyway, he even had his ID card, "I have always lived here."
Li Lin: "Then you know this house..."
"I know, it's a foreign land," Yu Sheng said without waiting for the other party to finish, with a frank and innocent look on his face, "I just found out about it recently, and there were no problems living there before."
Li Lin was speechless again.
What do you mean you only found out recently! What do you mean you lived here before and there was no problem! How can ordinary people be like this? On the other hand, after so many years, how come the Secret Service never found out that there was something wrong with this old city? ! "Well, can I see your ID?" Li Lin asked cautiously after holding it in for a long time, then quickly rummaged in his pocket, took out a small black book, and unfolded it in front of Yu Sheng, "This is my duty card."
Yu Sheng took a look at the small booklet the other party took out and saw Li Lin's photo, name and position information printed on it, as well as some incomprehensible numbers and identification codes - he couldn't understand them anyway, and he had never seen what other Secret Service documents looked like, but at least this was a formal "work attitude".
So he readily took out his ID card and handed it to the other party.
Li Lin took the certificate and he and Xu Jiali quickly glanced at the information on it.
Their eyes simultaneously stopped at the "address" column on the ID card, staring blankly at the black letters on a white background that read "No. 66 Wutong Road".
"Is there any problem?" Yu Sheng asked curiously when he saw the two of them were in a daze.
Li Lin woke up in shock and slowly handed the ID card back to Yu Sheng. He seemed to be hesitant about something. After hesitating for several times, he said, "You know, there is no No. 66 Wutong Road."
Yu Sheng: “……?”
He now understood why none of the locksmiths he had previously approached could come to his house successfully.
"We need to go back to the bureau first," Xu Jiali broke the silence. "Your situation... is a little special. We need to report to the higher-ups and then contact the archives department to find out what's going on."
Yu Sheng was stunned: "Leaving now? I still have a lot of questions..."
"We will leave our contact information and will have a formal 'contact' with you in the near future," Xu Jiali said. "For humans who have recently come into contact with foreign lands and have undergone 'changes', the Secret Service has a formal contact and registration process. Please rest assured that all your questions will be answered in the formal contact later."
As he spoke, he took out a small card and handed it to Yu Sheng: "My phone number is on it."
"...Okay." Yu Sheng thought about it. His biggest goal was actually to get in touch with the "professionals" in the border area who specialized in solving foreign problems. As for his many questions, it was obviously not something that could be immediately solved by just chatting with two people. This would have to be put aside for later contact and understanding. So he nodded happily and took the business card handed over by the other party.
He then left his mobile phone number.
He got this number after he "came" here, but usually no one contacted him and he had no one to contact.
Then, Yu Sheng turned his gaze to "Little Red Riding Hood" who had been standing nearby without saying a word.
This girl who looks like a high school student doesn't look very well now. Her exposed right arm seems to be recovering, but many fine black lines can still be seen on the skin, which looks quite strange.
"Are you okay?" Yu Sheng asked a little worriedly.
"This is not the first time I've had side effects from dealing with wolves. I'll be able to recover after some adjustments," Little Red Riding Hood shook her head. "I'll have to go see a doctor first. By the way, I'll leave you my cell phone number... Wait a minute, I don't have my phone with me. I'll find a pen."
As she spoke, she touched the small bag on her waist, but suddenly, her movements stopped.
The expression on the girl's face visibly froze, as if she had belatedly realized something incredible.
Yu Sheng was shocked when he saw the other person's appearance: "What's wrong?"
Xu Jiali next to her sighed: "Her homework was torn up by the entity."
Little Red Riding Hood turned her head stiffly and saw sympathetic expressions on Xu Jiali and Li Lin's faces.
"We both saw it at the beginning, but you didn't notice it at the time," Li Lin whispered, "We didn't mention it, thinking that we could make you happy for a while..."
“When did you see me happy? Huh? When I was being chased like a dog by a monster in the woods?” The red-dressed girl felt terrible. The calmness and maturity she had maintained all the way were gone in an instant. She was left with only madness. “I made up for three days! I made up for three days of math papers!!”
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Yu Sheng was stunned watching from the side. He began to feel that the mental outlook and daily life of these "professionals" were different from what he had imagined before. However, he was too embarrassed to speak in this atmosphere - mainly because the girl in front of him looked really sad...
But no matter what, Little Red Riding Hood still left him her cell phone number in the end - the girl put a lot of force into each stroke when she wrote the numbers on the note paper, and her hatred was as if she wanted to use the pen as a knife to carve the words on those "hungry entities" that had long since turned to ashes, which made Yu Sheng terrified.
Afterwards, Li Lin and the other two said goodbye and prepared to leave.
Yu Sheng walked them to their doorstep, opened the door and stood by the door frame: "Then I won't walk any further - I still have a lot of things to deal with here."
Hearing this, Li Lin looked back at the living room and saw the fox girl with a bunch of tails still sitting on the floor guarding a pile of food, while the little doll with broken arms was sitting on the sofa, watching TV heartlessly.
In a strange building at No. 66 Wutong Road, lives a strange "Yu Sheng" and his two equally strange "friends".
Right under the noses of the Secret Service.
Li Lin knew that he had come into contact with a huge vortex, and all of this would appear in his and Xu Jiali's report...
And it will be reflected in the subsequent overtime work.
The young Secret Service agent sighed deeply and walked through the door wearily.
The cool night breeze blew towards me, the quiet night scene of the old city came into view, and the warm street lights illuminated the road ahead.
He and Xu Jiali turned around at the same time, only to see a bare wall behind them, with chaotic and abstract graffiti on it.
Xu Jiali took two steps forward, touched the wall, and patted it twice.
"...It doesn't seem to be here," the senior diver said softly, "It's just an entrance, and it will only open if you are invited."
"Should we go back to the bureau first?" Li Lin asked, "Or should we leave someone here to keep an eye on it?"
Xu Jiali looked up at Little Red Riding Hood.
The girl turned her head away instantly, saying that she was in a bad mood because her homework was torn up, and she didn't want to work overtime at all at this time.
"I have to go find Doctor Lin to deal with the 'aftereffects' first," she gave a very legitimate reason, "You two can do whatever you want. I think it doesn't matter whether we keep him here or not - that person's ability is very strange, and we can't monitor him with the current conditions."
"... Let's go back to the bureau first," Xu Jiali sighed and walked forward first. "Anyway, there are other people guarding the outer area. Let's report today's situation first. This is related to the Dark Angel. I'm afraid even Captain Song can't make the decision on this matter."
