Alien Hotel

Have you ever offended anyone before?

Yu Sheng's sudden words made Little Red Riding Hood a little confused for a moment. After a few seconds, she realized why the other party asked her this question. She frowned: "Are you trying to say that the museum incident is a trap for me?"

"Don't blame me for conspiracy theories. There are many suspicious places in this matter, but the most suspicious thing is why it fell on you-remember the "sacrifice" in it? If it weren't for me, Hu Li and Irene helping you delay the evil wolf that came out of the shadow for a while, you would really lose control," Yu Sheng said seriously, "and the reason why you went to the museum and stepped into the white exhibition hall at that time was because you accepted a commission to recycle the collection, and it was a time-limited commission. As a result, now it is found that this commission is fake... Then this "coincidence" is suspicious."

"The two angel believers who made the sacrifice incident," Little Red Riding Hood's face suddenly became very bad, because she has always been very taboo about things related to that group of crazy people, "You mean Yes, the group of lunatics who follow the Dark Angels set up a trap to deal with me? Why? This doesn't make sense..."

"So I asked you if you have ever offended anyone."

"...How do you offend people to be targeted by those lunatics?" Little Red Riding Hood frowned, "You know, I never deal with anything related to the Dark Angels. I usually only accept some commissions of medium or small size from formal channels, and most of the commissions are from the Secret Service. The "Fairy Tale" organization is also very cautious in external exchanges. We may have competitors in the spiritual world detective business, but they will definitely not expand to "enemies." "

"That's another possibility. You haven't offended the Angels, but you have the "value" to be targeted by the Angels," Yu Sheng thought for a while, "After all, you said that they are a group of lunatics. The behavior logic of lunatics is different from that of normal people. They may think that you are helpful to their "career", so they do it."

Little Red Riding Hood didn't say anything, as if she was thinking and doubting.

Yu Sheng also knew that his thoughts were divergent, and it was not easy to figure out the motives of the Angel Cultists, so he quickly coughed twice and pulled the topic back.

"Well, let's talk about the commission itself. What do you know now?"

"I contacted the client directly. Now that I think about it, because I am familiar with the other party, I did not carefully verify the details of the commission this time," Little Red Riding Hood exhaled lightly and said seriously, "The electronic version of the commission document I received did have the mark and one-time serial number of the Wonderful Items Association, but it was not directly issued by the docking department of the Wonderful Items Association, but the client forwarded it to me using a personal account - we have done this before, so I didn't think about it this time."

Yu Sheng frowned. Wrinkle: "Will big organizations also allow such loopholes?"

"In principle, of course not, but in reality it is difficult to avoid, because it is the end of the year, and big organizations like the Qiwu Association have very tight deadlines for outsourcing orders, so at the end of the year, the people responsible for outsourcing will try to send out the orders before the deadline, so that they can use the timestamp of the order to jump the queue at the time of settlement. After all, everyone has KPI pressure..."

Yu Sheng: "...Is it such a realistic reason?!"

Little Red Riding Hood was silent for two seconds, and raised her hand to point at the nine-tailed fox walking with its tail hanging on the ground.

"Isn't it for a very realistic reason that your fox drags its tail on the ground when walking?"

"... Reasonable," Yu Sheng instantly reconciled with reality, but couldn't help but lean on the sofa and sighed, "The world is a huge makeshift team, this sentence is really valuable."

He rubbed his eyebrows, thought for two or three seconds, and raised his head: "So, now there is no way to confirm whether the original commission was forged by the contact person personally, or there is a higher-level "insider" in the Wonderful Things Association, who deleted the corresponding records after the contract was issued?"

Little Red Riding Hood shook her head: "There is no way to confirm, but the Secret Service will definitely investigate in this regard. In any case, this kind of loophole When the operation of the cave was not a problem, it was all under the stage. Now that something has really happened, it has been exposed, and it must be investigated from top to bottom. "

"Then I have to ask the Secret Service later," Yu Sheng muttered, and then asked, "What about the contact person who had the accident? What's his situation, what happened to him?"

"The details are not clear yet, just based on what I heard, it seems that he fell from a height, unfortunately hit his head, and died on the spot," Little Red Riding Hood said, "I have already contacted him, and I will go to his house tonight-he has been living alone, and now a nephew is there to deal with the funeral. "

"I will go with you." Yu Sheng said immediately.

Little Red Riding Hood hesitated for a moment and looked at him: "You want to..."

"What if you can 'ask' something?" Yu Sheng's expression was serious, "Just like the time in the museum, although I don't know what the restrictions are for the situation of 'talking to the dead', but I can always try my luck."

Little Red Riding Hood thought about it and finally nodded: "Okay... Then let's go now?"

"Let's go now," Yu Sheng said, standing up from the sofa, and then looked down at Irene, "You and Hu Li wait at home, I'll go alone this time."

Eileen immediately stood up and said: "Ah? Why?"

Yu Sheng rolled his eyes: "... We went to the deceased's home to inquire about the situation, and you think it's appropriate to hold a doll?"

Eileen immediately grinned, showing a very dissatisfied look, but in the end she had to agree with Yu Sheng's reason and sat back on the sofa: "Okay, I'm at home... Then I want to play games on your computer!"

"Whatever - but you must use your own account, and you are not allowed to touch my private files!"

"Got it."

After arranging the dolls, Yu Sheng turned his head and saw Hu Li standing behind him with a worried look on his face: "My benefactor, do you really not need to take me with you? I can help fight."

Yu Sheng's eyes jumped, and he had to emphasize to Hu Li again that he was going to the deceased's home to investigate this time, and there was no need to fight - it would be inappropriate to fight with the deceased's family or the deceased in someone's mourning hall...

Little Red Riding Hood was stunned listening to the exchange between Yu Sheng and Hu Li, and once again had a deeper understanding of the mental outlook of the people in the hostel.

After telling Hu Li that there were leftovers in the refrigerator, if he was hungry, he could heat them up and eat them first, but be careful not to set the house on fire or tear it down, Yu Sheng finally changed into his clothes for going out and walked out of No. 66 Wutong Road with Little Red Riding Hood.

Yu Sheng looked back three or four times on the short road from the door to the opposite side of the street.

This made Little Red Riding Hood a little confused: "Are you so worried?"

"This is the first time I go out alone and leave Hu Li and Irene at home," Yu Sheng's tone was indeed a little worried, "I am even worried that they will tear down my house when I come back."

"That's a nine-tailed fox, not a nine-tailed husky," Little Red Riding Hood sighed, "and I feel that Irene is quite stable, at most she is a little impatient sometimes."

"...It's amazing that you can give her such a high evaluation - if you knew what she had done, you would never say this," Yu Sheng sighed, "Can you believe that she can stew herself without anyone watching? And last time she almost set the house on fire, and the first thing to be set on fire was even herself."

Little Red Riding Hood: "...?"

"Sooner or later, you will see it," Yu Sheng waved his hand, "Let's not talk about this for now - how do we go?"

The original text is available at Six # 9 @Book/Bar!

The "contact person" mentioned by Little Red Riding Hood lives in another urban area a little away from Wutong Road, which is closer to the city center and takes more than 40 minutes to get there by taxi.

And Yu Sheng has never been to that place - there is no place with recorded coordinates, and he can't open the door and go directly there.

So in order to save time and avoid unnecessary trouble, Little Red Riding Hood made a special invitation to Yu Sheng.

Go with her wolf pack.

In an unnoticeable corner of the street, Yu Sheng looked at the giant wolf in front of him with a little worry, as if his whole body was made of shadows and his outline was fluctuating.

"Seriously... this thing doesn't bite?" He said doubtfully, "and can it really carry people?"

"Of course it can carry people," Little Red Riding Hood looked helplessly at the nervous Yu Sheng, and even more helplessly felt the simple emotions from the shadow wolf, and said with a very complicated mood, "And you are worried that it will bite you? It is worried that you will bite it!"

"What are you talking about!" Yu Sheng glared at him, "Am I the kind of person who is so unsatisfactory about food?"

Little Red Riding Hood: "..."

Looking at the girl's reaction, and thinking about how he had persuaded her to eat the wolf's grandmother's meat before, Yu Sheng finally felt embarrassed, so he put away the idea of ​​continuing to argue, and honestly learned to ride on the wolf like Little Red Riding Hood.

"Is it possible? Your wolf is shaking. Can it not carry heavy objects?"

Little Red Riding Hood turned her head to look at Yu Sheng, and slapped the wolf on the head under the other's body: "Coward."

Then she shook her head and gave the wolf pack a direct order: "Go."

Yu Sheng was about to ask how to control the wolf he was riding, and how to jump and transfer between shadows like Little Red Riding Hood, but before he could open his mouth, he suddenly felt a flash in front of his eyes.

The next second, the world in his eyes changed.

The colors turned into different shades of black and white, and the buildings in the city turned into various silhouettes with only outlines. The roads disappeared, replaced by discontinuous "bridges" between the shadow masses. The normal and orderly scenery in his vision a second ago suddenly became as if reflected in a fragmented mirror - then, the city curled up, and the broken and floating buildings became a three-dimensional maze in this black and white world, like a chaotically mapped scroll, the distance and size of all things were reorganized in an instant.

The wolves started off lightly and flew into the bizarre shadows.
