Alien Hotel

Baili Qing sat behind her desk, her eyes a little blank - maybe it wasn't just her eyes that were blank.

After a while, she whispered to herself: "How come he always does something unexpected?"

Song Cheng, who was sitting across the table, didn't know how to respond, so he lowered his head and pretended not to hear.

As a result, Baili Qing repeated it again after two seconds: "How come he always does something unexpected?"

"After all - it is an unexpected existence," Song Cheng finally tugged at the corner of his mouth and replied with a hard-headed reply, "Anyway, the cause of the abnormal time and space dislocation has been found again. The technical department has recorded it. The "characteristic parameters" will also be adjusted more accurately, which is a good thing."

"Yeah, it's a good thing - we also learned by the way that he can even open channels in abnormal foreign lands." Baili Qing shook her head, "Let's not talk about this for now, let's continue the topic we just talked about. What is the conclusion of the sample submitted for inspection?

Upon hearing this, Song Cheng immediately adjusted his sitting posture and pushed the documents he brought forward.

"This is the analysis report about those hairs - we sent those 'fox hairs' to three laboratories for independent analysis, and sent the data to major organizations including the academy. The conclusion - your own Take a look. "

Baili Qing took the document, her eyes quickly scanned the key contents, and her expression became more and more serious.

"No matching race found within the known universe?" She raised her head and looked into Song Cheng's eyes.

'Not only didn't we find any racial matches, we didn't even find any biological tissue that matched the microstructure of those hairs,' in other words, if we weren't convinced they came from a humanoid that could talk, move, think, and feel. "biological" words,

Analysts even suspected that the samples were a nasty joke played on them. "

Song Cheng said, pointing to one of the paragraphs in the document.

The "substances" that make up these hairs are not metabolic or growth products that can be produced by any known living organism. In addition, although it can be determined that more than 90% of its components are organic matter, they are also mixed with a variety of inorganic substances. The explanation of 'inorganic impurities', the role of these impurities in biological organisms is unknown, and -." Song Cheng got stuck at this point, and finally continued with a strange expression, "We haven't analyzed them until now. What exactly is it?”

Baili Qing pursed her lips, and after a long time she said softly: "How come he always manages to do something unexpected -"

Song Cheng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "Well, strictly speaking, he didn't do this, right?"

"But he brought people out," Baili Qing put her finger on her temple and said a little tiredly, "What about the other hand? Have organizations like Qianfeng Lingshan responded?"

Song Cheng nodded: "Yes, they teamed up with several more influential sects to conduct a large-scale investigation and screened all the 'fox'-like spiritual people, because they considered the 'huli'" There may be a "time tunnel" situation in the experience. The scope of the investigation is extremely wide, and even everything related to it has been investigated. To put it simply, it is "it was better thousands of years ago" and "it may be better thousands of years later" All situations are taken into account, not just those that have now entered the interstellar era.

"The list of their survey samples is here. In addition to fox demons and fox demi-humans in the general sense, it also includes those with only partial animalistic characteristics, such as those with fox ears, fox tails, and a little bit. According to the envoy who came to hand over the fox-haired ones one by one, even those with body odor were eager to hold them down and fill out the form before leaving---the conclusion was that no match was found. "

Baili Qing's movements while flipping through the documents stiffened, and she looked up at Song Cheng: "Why did they make such a big fuss? I have never been so concerned about asking them to help with things in the past."

"To put it simply, I heard that there was a fox who could lift his family to heaven and earth and that his hometown was full of immortals. Everyone was eager to know who secretly ascended to the world without telling others." Song Cheng spread his hands, "You know , their competition in this field is fierce. Although most of the seekers who have entered the enlightenment stage have stopped fighting over this matter, the situation in Huli's hometown that Yu Sheng described to us -... for them It’s still very exciting.”

"It's also very exciting for us." Baili Qing breathed out and put down the document in her hand. "I have grasped the situation. The follow-up investigation work should continue. Let's treat it as a long-term task. If that 'fox' really From 'out there' -"

She paused and nodded slightly at Song Cheng: "You understand what I mean."

"Yes, I understand."

On the way back to the east building from the west building of the orphanage, Yu Sheng told Little Red Riding Hood the details of his alone investigation in that dark room - including the scratches he found on the floor under the bed in the wooden house, and the The details of his encounter with the hunter.

Little Red Riding Hood was quite stunned by many details.

"I have been dealing with the black forest for many years, but I have never suddenly understood so much like I do today," she couldn't help but sigh. "Many little red riding hoods before me also knew nothing like this. I was swallowed up by that 'story'....

"Maybe they finally discovered something, but they can no longer pass the news to the real world." Irene sat on Yu Sheng's shoulders and said swayingly, "Just like those scratches under the bed, they obviously lasted a long time. Left behind by a certain Little Red Riding Hood from the past.”

"Those carvings are very concerning," Yu Sheng said, "and I suspect that similar marks may be found in other places in the Black Forest, or even - not just in the Black Forest."

Little Red Riding Hood thoughtfully said: "You mean-.."

"Other 'subsets'," Yu Sheng stopped, "just like the ones you mentioned, Cinderella's ball, Rapunzel's tower - in those 'subsets', everything is happening and Isn't it similar to the thing in the Black Forest? Maybe there have been other Cinderellas or Rapunzels who discovered something at the end of their dreams, but it was just like the situation in the little house with red cloaks - they finally discovered something. The truth is that they have no chance to convey the news to the real world.”

Little Red Riding Hood fell into thinking after hearing this, while Yu Sheng suddenly sighed after a moment and said with emotion: "If you think about it carefully, this is quite consistent with the rules of childhood."

Little Red Riding Hood didn't react for a moment: "Why do you say that?"

"You wrote your childhood secrets in a diary and carefully added a lock to it. However, when you become an adult, you can no longer remember the password that once meant so much to you - your childhood memories just stay there. At the end of childhood, you cannot pass it on to your grown-up self, and many people will be like this. "

For the first time, Little Red Riding Hood's expression was a little dazed: "Is that so?"

"That's right," Yu Sheng laughed, "so at this time we need a hateful, disruptive, and unreasonable adult.

Open that book roughly - many times, you will become that hateful adult yourself, but since it is difficult for you to grow up, let me do it for you. "

""—You make yourself sound like a bad person. "

"To Fairytale, I'm the bad guy, because it doesn't like me. "

At this moment, there was a sudden noise from the corridor in front, interrupting the communication between Yu Sheng and Little Red Riding Hood.

There was a group of children running through the corridor yelling, including a few half-grown children among them.

Yu Sheng and others looked up and quickly walked over there.

Little Red Riding Hood quickly caught a half-year-old child who was running past her, and asked with dignity like a parent: "What happened?"

The caught girl looked nervous and raised her hand to point in a certain direction: "Teacher Su has fainted! He has been sent to the infirmary!"

Yu Sheng listened a little confused: "Teacher Su fainted? Why?"

"I don't know, I heard about it too," the girl who looked to be about thirteen or fourteen years old said quickly, "It seems that when Xiaoxiao was playing with other children in the activity room, she suddenly opened the door and went in to say hello. Then she fainted..."

Yu Sheng: ..—

little Red Riding Hood:".--

Eileen: "Oh, "This——" - I really didn't think about it. I was just happy at the time." Little Red Riding Hood let go of her hand and turned away with an embarrassed look, "I should send someone to talk to Su first." The teacher needs some relief. "

Yu Sheng didn't know what to say, so he could only spread his hands in confusion: "It's useless to say this, let's go and see the situation."

The group of people diverted to the infirmary, and when they arrived, Rapunzel had already half-coaxed away the children who came to join in the fun.

The young council employee was lying on the hospital bed. He was already awake at this time. Except that his face was a little pale, his condition looked good. The girl named "Xiaoxiao" was sitting on the chair next to her, holding her head. , shrinking his neck as if he had made a big mistake, and seemed to have cried.

Yu Sheng suspected that she cried out of fear when the teacher fainted.

"It's nothing serious. The doctor checked it out. It's just emotional excitement and excessive fright." Rapunzel walked over from the side. "The suggestion is to lie down for a while. The situation has been explained clearly. There is nothing to worry about. I have this problem too. Responsibility, Xiaoxiao shouldn’t just push the door in. "

"I'm fine, I'm fine!" Teacher Su, who was lying on the bed, waved his hands quickly, "I was shocked at the time, but now I'm just happy...

As she spoke, she sat up from the bed, her eyes falling on Yu Sheng.

"I remember - your name is "Yu Sheng", right? I have something to say to you."
