Alien Hotel

The squirrel's nervousness made Yu Sheng subconsciously listen to the movement outside the hut, but he only heard some distant and weak wind sounds.

The fire in the fireplace was crackling, and the sound of wind outside the door and window was too weak to be heard. These soft sounds made everything seem extra quiet, and a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere filled the candlelight of the cabin.

The layout of the room is clear at a glance. When you enter the door, you can see a simple square table covered with a blue plaid tablecloth, and two chairs placed beside the table. Oppositely, against the wall, you can see a square table with a lot of miscellaneous items. There are wooden shelves and a wooden wardrobe that is one person high. In the corner is a single bed with a thick mattress, which looks very comfortable.

On the wall to the left of the entrance, there is a window, which reflects the firelight of the fireplace and candlesticks, as well as the figure of the squirrel jumping around.

Yu Sheng walked towards the window and looked outside cautiously. The old wooden floor creaked under his feet. He saw only the dense and boundless forest night scene outside the window. The time at this moment should be just after dusk. For a brief moment, there was actually a little bit of skylight left in the sky, but the dense canopy of trees blocked the limited light, and there were all night-like shadows under the canopy.

I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but Yu Sheng always felt that there were countless pairs of cold eyes hidden in those shadows. Countless predators seemed to be hiding in the night, surrounding the cabin, waiting for some opportunity.

"Don't look, don't look. The more you look, the more scared you will be. The things you imagine will always come out of the darkness, and all you can think of here is the wolf." The squirrel put his paws on his back and stood on the wooden table. Walking around going, "Oh, nuts!"

It suddenly saw a plate of acorns on the table, and immediately jumped over happily, picked up one with its paws, and looked back at Yu Sheng: "Would you like one? Good stuff!"

"No, thank you." Yu Sheng waved his hand. He was now focusing more on observing the small house - he found that there were also red rags and strings in the house, like some kind of shelter decoration. Red ropes and strips of cloth were tied to the doors and windows and hung under the roof. There were also some broken pieces of cloth and threads piled messily in the corners.

The squirrel suddenly jumped down from the table, ran to the corner and rummaged around. It found a long red strip of cloth, and then wrapped it around itself randomly.

"Good sign, good sign!" it screamed.

Yu Sheng was a little curious: "What are you doing?"

"Do something lucky." The squirrel was wrapped in red cloth, looking funny but proud. "Red is a lucky color, and a squirrel needs its own lucky color - especially one as cute as me."

Bubbling squirrel. Damn it, there's no wine in this room - I'm a little thirsty. "

It ran back to the table, picked up an acorn, knocked it on the table hard, and lowered its head to gnaw.

Yu Sheng thought for a moment and walked to the table. He sat down on the chair and looked at the squirrel that was eating acorns: "Can you tell me about Little Red Riding Hood?"

"Which one? Which one are you talking about?" The squirrel raised his head, his eyes reflecting the candlelight, "Oh, I guess you are talking about the recent one, the one that is still alive... But why should I tell you? You who broke in for no reason. grown ups."

"..——-I am her friend, and I want to know about her." Yu Sheng knew that this squirrel was a little nervous and difficult to deal with, but he was also quite patient, "You helped me just now, I think you should be a Just Squirrel, you might be willing to continue helping me and my friends.”

"Good squirrel - you have hit the point. I am a good squirrel." The squirrel looked very satisfied and took two steps on the table. "But I don't know where to tell you--" What’s there to say? I don’t know how she lives outside, and I don’t really know what she’s thinking. Anyway, I just remember that when she first came here, she probably only--"

The squirrel said, looking around the room quickly, then raised his paw and pointed at the chair next to him: "It's about this high, a little higher than the back of the chair. I don't know if I'm crying in the dark forest. She was looking for a way and didn't know how to hide. When I came out to talk to her, she just kept saying that she would never run around again - and then? Then she was eaten by a wolf very quickly. Wolves are fast, and the more scared you are, the bigger they get."

The squirrel waved its paw, seemingly dissatisfied with what happened, but soon changed its tone.

"Her performance was very bad at the beginning, but she gradually got better. She was caught by wolves many times and cried more often, but soon she was able to follow me to a place with light while crying. , and later, she learned not to make a sound when crying, and then, she learned not to cry again, and then she said that she had found the "organization". I don't remember what she said specifically. Anyway—"—she seemed to have learned a lot. "

The squirrel slowly stopped, as if lost in thought.

Yu Sheng waited patiently for a while, and after a few seconds, he gently urged: "Then what?"

"Don't worry, don't worry, I'm just a squirrel, I have to think about it - the previous Little Red Riding Hood seems to be the same, almost the same, ah, yes, she has learned a lot of things, such as making traps when avoiding , such as how to restore humanity as soon as possible after being eaten by a wolf, such as lurking to observe the patterns of wolf activity. Then one day, she successfully caught a wolf, then the second, and the third—

"The wolf caught her, and she caught the wolf. Sometimes she succeeded, and sometimes she was eaten. She gradually became a part of this forest. Later, she was able to spend most nights here safely, but she was also tied to this place. Deeper and deeper,

Sometimes, she would even become a bit like a wolf, growing claws and a tail, and running in the darkness outside. Now hunters would occasionally appear by the path outside and wake her up with gunshots, and hunters appeared more frequently. , she sometimes feels that she is also a hunter————”

The squirrel spoke slower and slower, and a deep atmosphere enveloped the little animal. Then it suddenly tugged on the red cloth strips randomly wrapped around its body, raised its head and stared directly into Yu Sheng's eyes.

Those eyes that reflected the candlelight actually shone with the light of humanity.

'You have to help her, she--she's actually starting to get bad. The other Little Red Riding Hoods are like this too. They gradually get used to this forest and gradually turn into them. The more times she turns into a wolf, the more she turns into a wolf. The harder it is to go back, the one is the most ferocious and evil The big bad wolf is getting closer and closer to her, but for her, the most dangerous thing is never the moment when the big bad wolf opens its mouth, but when she grows ape teeth herself---""-You are Her friend, right, you are her friend - you have to help her! "

Yu Sheng quickly understood every word the squirrel said to him, and he vaguely guessed many things.

At this time, he suddenly asked: "What should I do specifically? How can I help her?"

However, the squirrel suddenly became frustrated. It took two steps back and struggled to tangle its two paws together: "I don't know, I--I'm just a fucking squirrel-"

Yu Sheng did not give up: "Will killing that 'evil wolf' work?" "

"It's useless, it's useless, it will always come back." The squirrel shook his head sadly, "When Little Red Riding Hood comes,

The bad wolf also came. Everything in this forest is like this. As long as there is Little Red Riding Hood, there will be wolves.

There will be a grandma, there will be a hunter, there will be a long path, and at the end of the road is a hut that may or may not be safe. Everything is decided like this. It doesn't matter how many times you kill them--- -Only when Little Red Riding Hood disappears, the forest will be temporarily quiet——

"Be quiet for a while, until a new Little Red Riding Hood appears."

"There were many Little Red Riding Hoods before, right?" Yu Sheng finally asked the question he wanted to ask just now. "When a Little Red Riding Hood dies, there will be new 'victims' coming in, right? Which number is this now?" When was the first one?”

"There are always new ones, there are always new ones, because the forest needs Little Red Riding Hood," the squirrel said, suddenly trembling, "I, I can't remember the specific number, don't ask me, don't ask, I Just a squirrel—

Talking too much will attract wolves. "

Yu Sheng felt that the squirrel's reaction was a bit strange. It seemed that it was not only afraid of "wolves" but also something else. However, this nervous little animal had begun to refuse to answer his other questions - it just kept saying He was moving around on the table as if he was in some kind of stress state.

But at this moment, Yu Sheng suddenly felt a movement in his heart.

Then, he heard a faint call.

The voice was vague and far away, but when he concentrated his attention, the voice suddenly became clear - Irene was shouting in his heart.

"Yusheng! Yusheng, where are you sleeping? I heard the reply!"

"Irene?" Yu Sheng was startled and immediately responded in his heart, "I'll go, I finally heard your voice -"

I called you just now, but you didn't respond. "

"Hey, I heard it! I found it!" The little doll's voice suddenly burst out with surprise, "I heard it just now, and then I looked for you immediately but couldn't find it. In your I couldn't find it in my dream, either. It clearly feels like you are dreaming, but I can’t connect with your consciousness. It’s like you’ve lost your way in a dream——”——-Hey Huli, stop wandering and find your ‘benefactor’——Hu The raccoon dog is beside me, having been fussing for a long time.

It makes me dizzy. What kind of spiritualism is she going to do for you? We are next to your bed. Hey, don’t tell me that it looks like you are paying homage to the body. You are so peaceful lying there--·-Ouch, silly fox bite I! "

The corner of Yu Sheng's mouth trembled twice, and he had mixed feelings in his heart while listening to the clatter of the little doll.

This smell of yunda is really as friendly as if it were struck by lightning.
