Alien Hotel

The night is already dark.

In a high-rise apartment in the central area of ​​Boundary City, Baili Qing, who was wearing pajamas, poured herself a glass of strong wine and strolled to the large floor-to-ceiling windows.

There are no lights in the room, only the dim light from the night lamp in the corner outlines the outline of the home furnishings. The large floor-to-ceiling windows reveal a spectacular night view. The huge city is lit up by neon, and the magnificent colors are like some kind of Like a living, breathing creature, there are layers upon layers of scales. Building after building flickers and flows, and the earth seems to have no end. The light and shadow of the city buildings extend infinitely into the distance in the field of vision, until they disappear into the hazy night. In this night, Baili Qing herself The reflection in the glass looks extremely thin.

There was fog outside the French windows.

The thin mist seemed to be generated out of thin air, covering the night quickly and evenly.

Gradually it turned into a surging gray curtain, and the scenery of Boundary City looked hazy and unreal in the fog. Then, a pair of indifferent eyes appeared outside the floor-to-ceiling window, calmly staring at Baili Qing standing in front of the window.

Those Qing eyes have human-like outlines, but are seriously lacking in color. The extremely light pupil structure is almost exactly the same as Baili Qing's eyes. They seem to be floating in the mist outside the window, but they also seem to be printed directly on the window. On the glass, the entire window surface is filled.

"Drinking at night is not a good habit, sis."

A voice came directly into Baili Qing's mind. It was mechanical and dull, but it was exactly the same as her own voice.

"This can calm me down," Baili Qing said casually, shaking the glass in her hand, "especially after being woken up from a nightmare by a phone call."

"Nightmare?"

"I dreamed that I ended up being you."

"Oh, that is indeed a nightmare." Those faded eyes blinked outside the window, "Be careful, don't be bewitched and controlled by me - although you have done pretty well so far. So, you now What do you want to do by calling me out?"

"I just woke up suddenly and wanted to find out some information from you - did you find out anything about the "one-eyed" that appeared in the night valley?"

The eyes narrowed slightly, and the voice then entered Baili Qing's mind: "I have visited all the places I have looked at, including the foreign lands we have experienced together and the "death holes" pierced by the dark angels in the deep sky. ", no information related to the giant eye has been found. It has never appeared in any of the above locations."

"Really? You can't find it either -" Baili Qing seemed a little regretful, "Forget it, it's to be expected." "

"You're in a worse mood, sister," said those clear eyes, "and you're also a little worried."

"".——Because there are now more and more clues indicating that the huge eye entered this world without anyone noticing, and given that the Algradians discovered it in deep space a few months ago It is suspected that there are "trails" left by another unknown angel. It is very likely that there are more dark angels that have dug through our world - there are still more holes that have not been discovered. Even at this moment, the holes are still there. It may be increasing. "

Baili Qing said, shaking the cup in her hand, looking at the vortex of the wine in the cup with some trance.

Asked softly: "Do you know what I'm most worried about?"

"Are you worried that more Dark Angels have been hidden in the real universe?"

"No, this is just a common worry for everyone. What I am more worried about is what is behind the Dark Angels. Is it a group, is it organized, does it have the ability to learn, and has it gradually learned about our world? "

"It does sound like something worth worrying about."

Baili Qing drank the strong wine in the cup, feeling the intense stimulation gradually spread in her mouth, and then placed the cup on the floor aside.

"Also, I asked you to scan the old city and look for the hidden No. 66 Wutong Road. Did you find anything?"

"I found some traces of distortion, but I can't see clearly." Those eyes were clear, and there was a bit of frustration in the mechanical voice.

A trace of surprise finally appeared on Baili Qing's face: "You can't even see clearly?!"

"Yes," the eyes in the mist blinked, "Whenever I try to focus my eyes, my eyes seem to be absorbed by something, and when I react, I will find myself In fact, I have been distracted. But--I have a guess."

"What guess?"

“The so-called ‘No. 66 Wutong Road’ may not be there at all, it’s just an entrance——

"This is not unexpected." Baili Qing shook her head before the other party finished speaking. "The Secret Service agents who went to investigate also submitted this conclusion. They believed that it should be a special space caught in the space, just like Like other 'fortress'-type foreign lands in the border city, they are floating in the cracks of the space-time structure of the border area——"

"No," the eyes suddenly interrupted her, "I mean, it might not even be on the border at all - it's not wandering anywhere, it's just - too deep, too far, So much so that the '66 Wutong Road' reflected in the junction is just a very thin shadow. When I feel like my eyes are being swallowed up, it's actually because I'm looking at a place so far away that I can't see it."

Baili Qing's expression became a little stiff for a moment.

"Too deep, too far?" There was a rare hesitation in her tone, "Do you know what this means?

Your gaze - can even see into the warp. "

"So, it's deeper and further than that. It's based on logical analysis, sis."

Baili Qing blinked.

After a moment, she heard the mechanical voice in her mind speak again: "So, who is the 'person' who lives at 'No. 66 Wutong Road'?"

"I don't know," Baili Qing said softly, "I only know that all the information so far shows that his personality and self-perception are infinitely close to that of a human being." And just now, he gave I made a phone call. "

"Ah, so the phone call that woke you up from your nightmare was from him - what was he going to do?"

"He said he wanted to open a 'door' and report to me. According to the intelligence received from the operations department a few hours ago, he should have gone to the 'museum'."

".-interesting."

Those eyes gradually dissipated in the mist, and the fog outside the window quickly receded, and the endless city night view filled the window again.

Yu hardly slept in the middle of the night after he was born.

He was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, all kinds of thoughts, knowledge and information flying in his mind like countless Irenes crawling all over the floor, crawling, jumping up and down, squeaking -

Of course, this description may be a bit too much, because if there were really countless Erins crawling all over the floor, it would definitely be much more noisy.

But Yu Sheng's mind is indeed so messed up.

About the new knowledge about foreign lands, about Little Red Riding Hood and the "fairy tale" organization behind her, about the angel cultists and the "dark angels", about the unfortunate victim in the white exhibition hall, and - - the deceased asked him The opening scene.

Yu Sheng turned on his mobile phone and searched for entries related to "Conversation with the Dead" in the "Border Communications" database, and really found some information.

As mentioned above, there are some "able people" outside the border area who do have the power to communicate with the dead.

Some, called necromancers, even have the ability to temporarily fix the souls of the deceased in the real world after performing a series of complex rituals, and have simple conversations with them face to face.

But no matter which piece of information, the process of "conversation with the dead" described is obviously different from the scene he experienced in the white exhibition hall at that time.

Those "techniques" that appear in the information encyclopedia either require very complex ritual processes, or require the assistance of extremely advanced equipment, or are simply similar to "holographic reasoning", which uses technical means to collect massive amounts of intelligence to try to restore some of the things before death. Scenes, and even those so-called means that can directly "communicate with the deceased", the results of the communication are extremely vague and crude, and even some "yes" can only be obtained from the remaining brain waves or the so-called "soul" of the deceased. ” or “no” feedback.

If you touch the blood on the scene with your hands, the dead person will suddenly turn around and start rapping with you--"-

Yu Sheng put down his mobile phone and sighed softly in the room without turning on the lights, and then heard another movement from the bed.

Turning around, I saw Irene squirming and rolling at the end of the bed, with a flying leg in the air, and then pulled down with a loud plop.

Yu Sheng's expression was dull.

Another main reason he couldn't sleep was that there was actually a crawling Erin in his bed.

And he was spinning around and kicking people.

The next second, he saw Irene suddenly turn over again, and then the little doll sat up straight.

He pointed forward with his hand, his eyes still closed: "I! I'm from Alice's cabin! I'll give you money - or I'll beat you!"

Then she tilted her body and fell towards the bed, falling to the ground with a thud. Then she groggily grabbed the sheets and climbed up. She squirmed towards Yu Sheng and muttered: "Don't treat me like this - ——I fell..."

Yu Sheng sighed.

He couldn't sleep anymore.
