Alien Hotel

The door of the small supermarket slammed shut, isolating the scorching heat from the scorched earth planet and the sudden murderous intent of the two black-armored soldiers. Yu Sheng stood quietly at the door, a little dazed.

After being stunned for several seconds, he took a deep breath and turned his head to look around.

There were not many passers-by on the street. Occasionally, someone walked by and seemed to have completely ignored the abnormality here. Only Yu Sheng faced the strange scene that came to him a few seconds ago, and he was still standing in the wind.

After being messy for a while, Yu Sheng slowly turned back and looked at the storefront of the small supermarket.

He has been here more than once in the past two months. This small supermarket in the old city does not have many things, but the basic daily necessities and rice, flour, grain and oil are complete. The owners of the supermarket are a young couple, and Yu Sheng is now somewhat familiar with them.

There was nothing special about the front of the small supermarket. It was just an ordinary ground floor shop. There was a large glass window on the street side, which was almost full of various promotional information and small commodity shelves piled behind the glass. One side of the hinge of the glass door was not working well. The corresponding half of the door was pasted with an A4 paper saying "This door is broken". Through the door, you can see some crowded shelves inside and the boss who was moving things next to the shelves.

It looked very normal. There was nothing more normal than this scene.

But Yu Sheng would never regard what he saw just now as a "hallucination" - he still felt the burning, slightly sulfurous breath lingering in his nose.

He almost stepped over, but fortunately the sequelae of falling into a foreign land were still there, making him not only sensitive to the door of his home, but even to any door. He always hesitated subconsciously after opening the door. Another reason for his hesitation at the door was that at the moment of opening the door, he felt in his heart... "a chill".

Yu Sheng stood at the door of the supermarket and calmed down. After thinking for a moment, he reached out and grasped the door handle again. Then he pushed the door open a little with a little force and looked inside.

It was a normal supermarket inside. There were not many people at this time. The boss was still busy behind the shelves and seemed not to notice the movement at the door.

Yu Sheng stepped back and closed the door again. Then he grasped the door handle with force, took a deep breath, gritted his teeth as if he was competing with himself, and pushed it open suddenly.

A tall woman with blonde hair and silver-white dress stood on a platform opposite the door and turned her head to look at Yu Sheng in surprise.

She was very beautiful, but her ears under her blonde hair were not like those of a human, but elegant and slender pointed ears - there were also several glimmering pipes and data cables extending from behind her ears and connected to her back.

However, Yu Sheng was more concerned about the wheel-like structure extending from the hem of the other party's silver-white dress, and the mechanical limbs behind the other party that were holding various tools and swinging around in the air.

A voice came from somewhere across the door: "...Boss! The customer asked if the super light core sent last week has been repaired."

The blonde lady did not respond, but stared at Yu Sheng who was standing at the door. After holding it in for a long time, she finally yelled--

"How the hell did you get in?!"

Yu Sheng slammed the door shut.

But the next second he pushed the door open again--because he didn't see clearly just now, the one across the door was an elf? This was the first time he saw an elf in his life! Was it an elf? ! Was there something wrong with the painting style? !

As soon as the door opened, a child in a brown coarse cloth robe looked at Yu Sheng in surprise. There was a circle of smoke and fire around the door frame. The child was fanning a fan in his hand, and his eyes were wide open as if they were about to pop out.

The next second, before Yu Sheng could even speak, the kid threw his fan away as if he had seen a ghost, and ran out, jumping and shouting: "Master! Master! Senior Brother succeeded! Senior Brother's alchemy furnace refined a human head! With nose and eyes! And it can breathe!"

"F*ck..."

Yu Sheng exclaimed, slammed the door shut, and stepped back several steps before he stood still.

He looked back at the road and found that several passers-by were looking at this side in confusion - but they seemed to have only seen Yu Sheng's strange behavior, because the door was closed quickly, and no one noticed the situation of the door.

Yu Sheng could only quickly adjust his expression, pretending to be indifferent and temporarily walked aside. When no one was paying attention to him, he took a few deep breaths, stood in a daze on the corner of the street and began to think about life.

Things were so confusing and weird that he didn't even know whether he was still in shock, or had his worldview reshaped, or had survived a catastrophe. He only knew that there were twelve storms in his mind - or two hundred Erins were beeping at the same time, and all kinds of messy thoughts were running rampant in his heart. He didn't come back to his senses for seven or eight minutes.

But he was sure of one thing very quickly.

Those on the other side of the door... were not in a foreign land.

At least the elf beauty who looked like a mechanical monster and the Taoist boy holding a fan were definitely not in a foreign land. As for the two mighty soldiers in power armor who were obviously fighting at the beginning... the environment around them was bad, and it was hard to say whether it was in a foreign land...

After a long time, Yu Sheng's messy head finally calmed down. He forced all kinds of crazy and surging conjectures and thoughts to be sorted out and suppressed. Then he lowered his head and looked at his hands.

After hesitating for a long time, he slowly reached out and reached to the side -

He was standing at the corner of the street at the moment, with only a wall beside him, a bare cement brick wall.

He stroked the bare and rough wall, shook his hand slowly, and imagined... there was a door there.

Just like he found the hidden door handle outside the door of the room where he found Irene at the end of the corridor at home, just like he subconsciously grabbed the air when he was thrown into the air by the monster in the valley in the night, and pulled open the door to return to the real world out of thin air--

He touched it, a door.

He couldn't see it, but the door appeared. He held the handle, and then the door began to gradually materialize and gradually locate. He turned his head slowly with a stiff expression-the door flickered in his vision, as if it could be easily opened in the next second.

"What the hell!"

Yu Sheng exclaimed in a low voice, and as he became nervous, his hand subconsciously loosened, and the "door" instantly disappeared silently on the wall.

Yu Sheng's heart was pounding, as if it would jump out of his mouth in the next second.

He took several deep breaths before calming down, and recalled the feeling of grabbing the door handle just now, and pulled the corners of his mouth.

"Erin." He called in his heart, with... a complex feeling and hesitation that he himself couldn't explain.

"Hey?" Erin's voice sounded immediately, as brisk as ever, "I was just about to contact you, you've been out for a while, didn't you say the supermarket is at the intersection... bought too many things?"

Yu Sheng: "... I haven't entered the supermarket yet."

Erin: "Are you lost?"

"I'm just telling you, I shouldn't consider moving again." Yu Sheng said, not caring about Erin's unrealistic guess.

"Ah?! Really?" Irene sounded a little happy, but also a little curious, "Why? Didn't you say that you felt that there was something wrong with this house? Especially once the door is opened, it might be 'thrown' somewhere..."

"Nothing, I just suddenly realized... In this biggest problem, it might not be the house that's wrong," Yu Sheng sighed, "It seems that I'm the one who's wrong."

Irene: "......?"

She didn't say anything, but Yu Sheng could imagine the expression of the doll with a question mark on his forehead at this time.

"It's a bit complicated to explain, anyway, you don't have to worry about moving anymore," Yu Sheng leaned against the wall and rubbed his forehead, "If there's a chance later... I'll tell you again."

Irene's curiosity was overflowing, but she noticed that Yu Sheng didn't seem to want to continue to explain in detail, so she just said "Oh".

Afterwards, Yu Sheng ended the conversation with Irene.

He did not tell the other party in detail about the specific situation when he "opened the door". It was not because of other concerns, but mainly because his thoughts were very confused now, and he had not had time to think carefully about many details of the "opening of the door" - the situation was too chaotic at the time, and he ignored many details, which needed to be recalled and sorted out slowly afterwards.

Yu Sheng decided to wait until he went back to slow down before discussing this matter with Irene.

Of course, he also knew that even if he told Irene, the other party would be as confused as he was, and then follow him. But no matter what, it is better to discuss with one more person than to think about it blindly.

The puppet at least has some knowledge of the supernatural field - although not much.

A few minutes later, Yu Sheng walked out of the corner of the street, cheered up in the gradually cooling night breeze, and looked in the direction of the small supermarket not far away.

After hesitating for a moment, he still took a step and walked towards the supermarket.

He still decided to complete today's shopping plan first - although the "door" thing was disturbing, he couldn't stop pushing any door from today.

But this time, he was more cautious than any other time when he pushed the door of the supermarket.

He tried to concentrate and feel every detail of the door opening - from the touch of his hands, to the thoughts in his heart, the intuitive reminders, even the sound of the wind around him, the shadows reflected on the glass door...

If there were other people present at this time, they would probably feel that Yu Sheng's door opening process was like slow motion.

Then, the supermarket door opened.

Among the slightly crowded shelves, the young store owner raised his head and smiled when he saw Yu Sheng: "Oh, what do you want to buy?"
