Alien Hotel

Yu Sheng quickly shook his head and temporarily put aside the messy conjectures in his mind.

Whether this is a special consciousness space or it is really his "dream", what he really needs to think about now is why Xiaoxiao appeared here.

Yu Sheng naturally thought of the other two people who had appeared here: Little Red Riding Hood and Hu Li.

If you have to count, Irene must be included - although the little doll came in by herself with her own "dream-entering" ability.

...Is it because of the blood connection?

Xiaoxiao was still standing aside, blinking and looking at this side, looking a little confused.

Yu Sheng reached out and rubbed the little guy's head. He didn't know how to explain this place to a six-year-old child, so he simply didn't explain: "You are dreaming."

"Then uncle, are you the person I dreamed of?" The little guy looked curious.

Yu Sheng was stunned and could only bite the bullet: "...Yes, you dreamed of it."

"Then uncle, can you become the X-faced Knight?"

Yu Sheng finally realized that the topic seemed to be different from what he imagined: "...No."

The little girl thought for a while: "It's OK to become Ultraman."

Yu Sheng couldn't hold it anymore, squatted down and looked at Xiaoxiao at the same level, and said earnestly: "Although this is a dream, there are things that can't be done in dreams..."

"Oh."

The little girl said "oh", as if she finally gave up this wild idea.

Then a few seconds passed.

"Then the rainbow little X..."

"It can't be changed either."

"Okay, then don't change."

Xiaoxiao sat down on the spot, pulled a few grasses from the side, and began to tie the grass leaves into knots seriously.

Yu Sheng couldn't help but think of Little Red Riding Hood's complaint to him here last time, and he squatted down beside Xiaoxiao: "Do you feel a little bored here?"

The little girl nodded, but then shook her head vigorously.

"There are no wolves here," she whispered, "I feel it's better than other dreams."

Yu Sheng was startled, and then he was thoughtful.

But just when he was about to say something else, he suddenly heard a faint sound.

He reacted and realized that it was a sound coming from the real world.

"Uncle is leaving," Yu Sheng thought quickly and turned to Xiao Xiao and said, "You should stay here later. The teacher will wake you up at the end of lunch break. Don't be afraid, it's safe here."

Xiao Xiao blinked and waved to Yu Sheng politely: "Goodbye, uncle."

Yu Sheng then let go of his control of consciousness, letting his thoughts fall in this "dream" and being pulled back to reality by the voice coming from his mind.

The next second, he suddenly felt the pressure coming from all over his body, and the heavy pressure on his chest made him feel almost breathless. He opened his eyes and saw three dolls as expected - two Irenes were pressing his arms and one leg respectively, and another Irene was sleeping on his chest with her legs spread out...

Even though the three dolls looked exactly the same, he could instantly tell that the one lying on his chest was the rebar Irene...

"Get off, get off, I'm almost crushed to death by you." Yu Sheng quickly used his hands and feet to get the Irenes off his body. He felt like he was fighting wits and courage with a bunch of koalas. When he finally broke free, he felt like half of his body was not his own. He even suspected that he might have been crushed to death by this guy once, and now he was just resurrected - then he quickly pulled his body to reach the phone on the bedside table that was constantly ringing. He took it and saw that it was Little Red Riding Hood calling.

Ignoring the doll X3 who was complaining in a half-awake state, Yu Sheng answered the phone casually: "Hello?"

The Little Red Riding Hood on the other end of the phone got straight to the point, but what she said surprised Yu Sheng: "Do you remember the last time we did it in the museum?"

Yu Sheng was a little stunned for a moment. He was still thinking about Xiaoxiao's entry into his "dream", and he also thought that Little Red Riding Hood was looking for him because the orphanage had discovered something unusual, but he didn't expect that the other party would mention the museum's action. He reacted for a while before nodding: " Ah, I remember it. "

"Then do you remember that the 'reward' for that operation has not come yet?"

"Ah, I almost forgot if you didn't mention it!" Yu Sheng quickly reacted, "The reward has not come yet... What happened? Did you go to collect the money? The other party refused to pay?"

As he spoke, he felt a little strange, because recently when he contacted Little Red Riding Hood, he always discussed things in the "fairy tale" foreign land, and the topic was either the Black Forest or the Big Bad Wolf. At this time, he suddenly mentioned the museum incident a few days ago. He was not used to this topic jump.

But the other party's next words instantly shook Yu Sheng's uncomfortable feeling away--

"My client is dead."

"...What?!"

"Because I haven't received the reward from the Strange Items Association, I felt very strange, so I contacted them, but found that the several contact methods left by the client were not connected," Little Red Riding Hood began to explain the situation to Yu Sheng in detail, "So I contacted other acquaintances in the Strange Items Association today, and they told me that my client had an accident a few days ago and had died."

Yu Sheng didn't speak for a while, but he had already sensed something was wrong from Little Red Riding Hood's words.

After a moment, he grasped what exactly this "something wrong" feeling was about: "...Wait a minute, what about the commission for the 'Statue of the Weeper'?"

"It seems that you have also thought of it," Little Red Riding Hood said with a solemn tone, "The Oddity Association is a formal organization with great influence. For the commissions they announce to the outside world, even if the executor has an accident, the organization should have a follow-up takeover. According to the process, there should not be a situation where the person in charge of issuing the contract dies and the subsequent rewards are swallowed up, so I directly inquired about the commission according to their process... What do you think the result was? "

"No need to guess," Yu Sheng already knew the answer after hearing this, "You said so... commissions don't exist, right?"

"Yes, it doesn't exist. In the public distribution information of the Oddities Association, there is no recycling commission for the 'Weeper Statue'," Little Red Riding Hood sighed, "But I don't know if this commission was fake from the beginning. , or someone deleted its record recently.”

Listening to the other party's last words, Yu Sheng's brows gradually wrinkled unconsciously.

Many days have passed since the operation in the museum. Although there were many unexpected situations behind it, including sacrifices by cults and angel cultists, Yu Sheng felt that the matter was at least over for him and Little Red Riding Hood. However, now, a new wave of something wrong has arisen in this already ended incident, which gave him a faint smell of... "the smell of conspiracy".

If this commission was fake from the beginning, then the matter would be simpler - perhaps an unruly member of the Society of Oddities wanted to circumvent the supervision of the society and secretly collect "exhibits" from the "museum" for profit. The thing is in hand but the person is gone. The whole thing can still be limited to the "personal" category, but if this commission was really sent from the Oddity Society, but has recently been deleted all information, then this matter Things... are much more complicated.

"I feel something is not right about this matter, and the remuneration that was originally agreed upon to be distributed to you is now gone. I think I should contact you to explain the situation," Little Red Riding Hood's voice continued to come from the mobile phone, which sounded still... Apologizing, "I'm sorry, you worked hard on this matter and delayed it for so long, and now it's like this..."

"Don't talk about this yet," Yu Sheng interrupted, "What are you going to do next? We have to continue the investigation, right?"

"...Well, at least I need to figure out what happened to my client," Little Red Riding Hood hesitated, and then said, "I have been working with him for several years. The person who initially helped me connect with the Strange Objects Association was He, even... the last 'Little Red Riding Hood', also received help from him. Anyway, I don't believe that he would do such a thing for personal gain, and his death was really strange, too like..."

Yu Sheng said calmly: "It sounds like someone has silenced you, doesn't it?"

"……Um."

"Let's meet and talk," Yu Sheng breathed out softly, "Should I come to you or should you come to me?"

Little Red Riding Hood was a little surprised. She was startled for a moment and then said quickly: "Huh? I didn't intend to trouble you. I just told you about the reward. I plan to conduct the subsequent investigation myself..."

"Nonsense, you've said so much, my curiosity has aroused," Yu Sheng interrupted again, "And this is so bad, even child laborers are defrauded of their money..."

little Red Riding Hood:"……"

It could be heard that she wanted to refute something during this moment of silence, but she couldn't.

Yu Sheng said a few words angrily, and then suddenly remembered something: "By the way, let me ask, does the Secret Service care about this matter?"

"Of course they are in charge. After all, it is a commissioned operation registered on the 'Border Communication' platform. If there is a breach of contract or the hiding and transfer of 'odd objects', the official will of course investigate, not to mention that a human life was lost this time, but they The direction and method of investigation are definitely different from those of the 'Spirit World Detective'."

"Then let them check theirs, and let's check ours," Yu Sheng waved his hand, "You haven't said yet, will I look for you later or will you look for me?"

Little Red Riding Hood was silent for two seconds, and finally said: "...I'll go find you. I happen to be nearby now. I'll be there in about half an hour."

"Okay, then I'll wait for you at home."

"Well, and...thank you."

After hanging up the phone, Yu Sheng watched the screen gradually go black and breathed out softly.

Then when he looked up, he saw three little dolls sitting neatly on the bed, staring directly at him.

"Something happened again~"

The three Erins spoke in unison, deliberately lengthening their pitches.

Yu Sheng glared at them, raised his hand and pointed at the one in the middle: "This one, you are not allowed to sleep on the bed in the future."

"...Why?"

"Why? Why did you almost crush me to death!" Yu Sheng stared, "And the rebar and solid stone have pressed me from 1.67 meters to more than 60 centimeters. I was even afraid that you would jump on the bed and give me a crush. I'll make a hole and get down quickly."

It's okay if he didn't say this. As soon as he said it, Eileen's eyes immediately turned red (even though they were originally red), and she rushed forward with a "ouch"...
