Alien Hotel

This time, Yu Sheng fell asleep very quickly, probably because he had consumed too much energy. When the excitement that had been building up his strength faded, he lay down on the bed and fell asleep almost instantly.

It was a series of bizarre, trivial and shallow dreams whose details were difficult to recall.

He was drowsy and felt that his consciousness seemed to float above a hazy layer of water. He looked down across the water and saw himself lying on the bed, No. 66 Wutong Road, Irene fiddling with the TV remote control, and Hu Li scrubbing his tail by the pool, and then hanging the washed tails one by one on the clothesline on the balcony, neatly hanging them in a row.

Yu Sheng gradually found it difficult to distinguish between reality and illusion, and he couldn't figure out whether he was dreaming or really "seeing" these scenes. His consciousness floated for a long time, gradually sinking in an increasingly drowsy chaos, and then suddenly he felt a solid touch coming from behind him.

Yu Sheng suddenly opened his eyes.

The first thing that caught my eye was the towering trees surrounding the area.

The boundless forest, the endless trees, the dense treetops overlapping and intertwining, covering the chaotic sky,

Under the treetops was a shadow like dusk, dark vines intertwined in the dense forest, bushes grew wildly in the open space, and unknown flowers and plants flourished one by one, but all of them had a layer of gray texture, crawling all over the open space between the giant trees.

Yu Sheng stood up in confusion, feeling that there were thick fallen leaves and rotten soil under his body.

And as he moved, this dark and dense forest with no visible edge seemed to "come alive" further,

He began to hear various unknown birds and beasts coming from the forest, something quickly passed through the open space in the forest, the sound of flapping wings echoed between the treetops, and there were distant roars - wolf howls, but with a strange tone like a human voice.

Yu Sheng checked it and felt his mind gradually clearing up. A sentence popped up in his mind: Oh my god, what did I do after sleeping for so long?

Was I dreaming? Or did I fall into some strange "foreign land" again?

Yu Sheng stretched out his hand and pinched his thigh, feeling a slightly numb pain. He tried to call Irene in his heart again, but only heard a hollow whistling sound like the wind blowing through the valley echoing in his heart.

All kinds of abnormalities made Yu Sheng alert instantly.

He stretched out his hand to the air at the first time, and after a moment, a phantom door emitting faint light vaguely appeared in the air.

Fortunately, the "door" was still usable.

Yu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, and then waved his hand to disperse the door, and walked forward carefully with full vigilance.

He had to figure out where this place was first.

He could vaguely feel that this place was different from the "Night Valley" he had mistakenly entered before. He should still be dreaming, but this was definitely not a normal dream. He couldn't say what the connection was between this place and the "foreign land", but this forest was definitely not something that should appear in his dream.

With his feet on the thick rotten leaves, a feeling of having no power accompanied by a slight rustling sound, Yu Sheng walked forward carefully for a long distance. He passed a small open space and passed two fallen trees on the ground. The surrounding scenery remained unchanged. The forest seemed endless, and there seemed to be no point in walking on two legs in this endless dense forest.

And at this moment, a choking sound suddenly came into Yu Sheng's ears.

He instantly became alert and turned his head to look in the direction of the sound.

A big, furry-looking squirrel stood on a dry stump nearby, looking at him with his black eyes.

It seemed to be just a small animal in the forest, curiously running out of its hiding place to observe this "uninvited guest".

The atmosphere was weird, but after seeing the harmless little squirrel, Yu Sheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and smiled at the squirrel.

The squirrel glanced at him, swept its big tail on the tree stump, and made a shrill voice: "Don't leave the path.....

The smile on Yu Sheng's face froze instantly, and the next second he suddenly widened his eyes: "Fuck! He's talking!"

"I haven't finished my words yet," the squirrel patted the tree stump with its tail and stood up, "What's the next sentence? Oh, don't be distracted by the beautiful flowers and mushrooms, hurry back to the path, so that you can return home safely before dark~ Yes, there must be a cute ending sound at the end, so fucking cute. ”

Yu Sheng:

.”.....

The squirrel not far away held its paws proudly and stared at this side.

Yu Sheng pinched his thigh hard again, as if to confirm whether he had just heard an auditory hallucination. What did this cute creature that looked harmless just say?

The squirrel seemed a little impatient. It saw that Yu Sheng had not moved for a long time, and slapped the tree stump with its big tail: "Go, what are you doing? Don't die in the dark forest before you take the first step."

Yu Sheng finally confirmed that he was not hallucinating, but he did not "keep going, go back to the path" as the squirrel said. Instead, he walked towards the squirrel with curiosity, with a look of surprise and confusion: "Who are you? Where is this place?"

"Are you blind? I'm a squirrel!" The squirrel held its paws without fear at all and stared directly into Yu Sheng's eyes, "Can't you see this place? The forest, the black forest, the big The endless black forest looks so stupid."

As he spoke, the cute but rough squirrel moved two steps to the side, looked around as if he was looking for something, and mumbled at the same time: "That's weird... now that one He's not dead yet,

Why did a new one appear? Now the one is dying? But why is it a man who appears here——."

Listening to the squirrel's toot, Yu Sheng's heart suddenly moved for some reason, and he subconsciously said: "Death? Who is dying?"

"Little Red Riding Hood," the squirrel wiped his face with his paw and said casually, "I don't know which number I should count."·

The eighteenth generation? Or is it the 28th generation Little Red Riding Hood——?

Yu Sheng suddenly opened his eyes wide, and his heart beat a few beats faster at this moment. Then he seemed to suddenly think of something, looked up at the endless forest, and listened to the vague sound. Yes, weird roar.

The distant and familiar nursery rhyme melody seemed to have echoed in his mind, the little figure in the red cloak, the figure walking on the forest path, the flowers and mushrooms that tempted her deep in the forest—

And that bad wolf.

Yu Sheng suddenly felt a slight sting and a little heat on his shoulder. He turned around and saw blood oozing out of his shoulder at some point. The scarlet color slowly smeared on his clothes, forming this patch of blood. A dazzling splash of color in a dark, gray forest.

That's where the wolf that emerged from Little Red Riding Hood's shadow had bitten during Night at the Museum.

The blood stains slowly faded, but Yu Sheng gradually understood what happened.

After all, her own blood has established a connection with Little Red Riding Hood - could the evil wolf chasing her be considered a part of her? So, this is actually her dream?

All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind quickly, but the squirrel's voice suddenly came, interrupting Yu Sheng's random thoughts: "No! No, no!"

Yu Sheng was instantly startled: "What's wrong?"

"That Little Red Riding Hood is indeed not dead yet! It's not time to die either!" The squirrel jumped up on the tree stump, looking a little panicked. "The wolf hasn't caught up with her yet, and the wolf is still looking for her in the forest -" - Who are you? How the hell did you get in? ! "

Yu Sheng vaguely felt that the other party's last words sounded familiar.

However, he did not dwell on this, but spoke quickly: "I am her friend. What did you just say? You said that Little Red Riding Hood will die? And which number did you say? What does this mean?"

"Friend? A friend who came out of nowhere! She was walking alone on the path in the forest - there are no friends for Little Red Riding Hood in the forest!" The squirrel suddenly became excited and jumped up and down on the tree stump. "Something is wrong, something is wrong, this forest shouldn't happen. Changes will be even more difficult--"-Don't embarrass a squirrel! This place is already very busy..."

It suddenly stopped again, as if it heard something, and listened blankly.

Yu Sheng subconsciously said: "How——·

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" squirrel raised his paw in a very humane manner, signaling Yu Sheng to stay quiet, "listen carefully..." The wolf stopped barking.

There was silence in the forest. The vague roars of wolves coming from the distance disappeared at some point. Even the sounds of other birds and beasts that had been coming from nearby also became quiet.

An eerie, unsettling silence fell over the forest.

Yu Sheng's nerves became tense, and in the next second, the squirrel suddenly jumped down from the tree stump, and then rushed to his shoulder like lightning, making a sharp cry: "Run! The wolf is coming!"

Yu Sheng was startled by this little thing's sudden move, but his body reacted long before that.

He subconsciously turned around and ran away, but it was only then that a belated sense of creepiness and a coldness that seemed to pierce his soul caught up with him - the huge malice and the omen of impending death came crushing and impacting him. Yu Sheng’s mind,

Mixed in the howling wind, chasing his footsteps.

The wolf is coming.
