Alien Hotel

After Bailiqing arranged the matter, Yu Sheng began to tell the female director in front of him about his investigation in detail.

Including how Lao Zheng may have obtained the "angel's umbilical cord", including the "unsuccessful arrival" that happened a long time ago, the fairy tale book that was sent out, and Ancaela's possible current state.

It was difficult for Baili Qing's steel-faced face to remain tense in front of this series of information.

She frowned tightly, and when she heard Yu Sheng's memories of "Squirrel", she finally couldn't help but interrupt: "You mean, a child living in an orphanage has not received any spiritual gifts. He directly heard the voice of the Dark Angel and even established communication with the other party - and he was sane from the beginning to the end? "

"At least that's what Squirrel thinks," Yu Sheng nodded. "We can't rule out the possibility that it was actually influenced by angels and had auditory hallucinations at that time, but the fairy tale book it handed out must be related to today's 'fairy tale' foreign land. The influence of that book on Ancaela was real. "

"A fairy tale book affected the process of the angel's arrival. Even if you tell me in person, I still find it unbelievable," Baili Qing said slowly, "But if this is true, it may explain" The "Obscure Angels" are actually not as 'invulnerable' as we imagined, or at least in the early stages of their first advent, their 'operation' is actually very fragile and can be affected in some way - —.”

She paused for a while before speaking thoughtfully: "What's even more surprising is another point. If the information provided by that "squirrel" is true, that Ancaela is even rational. This subverts our understanding of dark angels. "

In this world, there have never been dark angels with reason to communicate, so many scholars even regarded them as some kind of "natural disaster". Without Bailiqing's reminder, Yu Sheng knew that this time he brought What an impact this information will have on those who study the phenomenon of angels coming.

After a while, the topic article returned to the "fairy tale" foreign land itself.

"According to Squirrel, the 'stage' of the Black Forest is always growing and changing. Each generation of Little Red Riding Hood brings some new 'things' and even 'rules' to the forest. The whole thing is very much like a 'story." The outline begins to gradually build and improve," Yu Sheng said while thinking, "First the most basic world view and 'big map', then the introduction of characters and objects, and then the relationship between story elements - I think, this It reflects the dynamic characteristics of "fairy tale".

"On the other hand, based on the situation of Snow White and the seven - well, the Thunder Titans, as well as the situation of "Grandma Wolf" that Xiaoxiao faced before, we can confirm that there is another aspect in the subset of fairy tales Dynamic characteristics, that is, each 'main character' will cause the 'subset' to generate a corresponding "distorted copy". When two Little Red Riding Hoods with obvious differences in strength and weakness appear at the same time, two different "distorted copies" will even be generated in the black forest. Version of 'Grandma Wolf' comes out.

"All of this is just like what the original Little Red Riding Hood said in her last words, 'This forest is alive.'

In fact, it is not just the Black Forest that is alive, but the entire "fairy tale" is alive, and has a high degree of "interactivity" with the individual "characters" trapped in it.

"This may help us understand the current state of Ankaela. "

Baili Qing listened thoughtfully, and suddenly spoke softly as if talking to herself: "It's still "reading" that book."

"Yes, it is still 'reading' the book and trying to 'understand' it, but it is obvious that the Dark Angel's 'understanding' process is completely different from human reason and cognitive mode," Yu Shengqing said Nodding, "On the other hand, 'fairy tale' is a foreign land, and its form of existence, birth method, and 'relationship status' with 'Ancaela'" are also completely different from what we previously understood.

"As a 'cage', it was actually 'woven' by Ancaela herself. The entire 'fairy tale' is very likely to be built on that dark angel, as if it is some kind of it - .”

Yu Sheng frowned, thinking about a more suitable word, and then continued after a moment: "It's like some kind of 'shell' of it." "

"So, it is very likely that the deep-diving team that went into trouble at the time accidentally came into contact with the body of "Ancaela" while drilling through the shell of the fairy tale." Baili Qing immediately thought of something, "Then the action record at that time Mentioned in, those 'households' that suddenly stood up unsteadily after the facility was closed

L

"Maybe Ancaela is 'leaking' it to the real world," Yu Sheng tugged at the corner of his mouth, "Feel lucky. Now it seems that the "leakage" back then should have been unconscious. Ancaela did not really do anything. woke up with a start. "

Baili Qing didn't speak for a while, but her faded eyes flickered slightly, and outside the large floor-to-ceiling window behind her, those hazy and blurry eyes quietly emerged.

A mechanical and indifferent voice sounded in her mind: "I didn't expect that after seventy years, the action records of that year could still be updated."

Yu Sheng had seen those eyes just now, but he already knew that this was Baili Qing's sister, so he didn't look surprised and just smiled and waved to the other party as a greeting.

Those eyes blinked, as if a little panicked - probably because they were not used to being discovered by "outsiders" casually, and they suddenly forgot that they were not actually invisible in front of Yu Sheng -

At this moment, the phone on the oval desk suddenly rang.

Baili Qing answered the phone, listened to a few words, and nodded: "Very good, just send it over."

Then she put down the phone, her expression finally relaxed, and she looked up at Yu Sheng: "I found the information about the orphanage over there."

Yu Sheng was a little surprised: "So fast?"

A faint smile appeared on Bailiqing's face: "It was smoother than expected. Although the record was nearly a century ago, it is indeed included in the council's archives -

There is a coordinated access mechanism for Secret Service and Council archives. "

A moment later, the duty secretary knocked on the office door and delivered several newly printed documents to Baili Qing's desk.

Yu Sheng immediately came over and looked through the documents with Baili Qing.

A photo soon caught his eye.

It was a child who looked to be seven or eight years old, wearing a skirt that looked slightly ill-fitting, standing nervously in front of the blackboard.

She is very thin, a bit dark, with rustic braids. She is ordinary in every aspect and cannot be called very cute. When taking pictures, her behavior is almost dull - as if she was suddenly asked by the teacher to stand on the stage for the photo. A photo,

I left this photo before I could figure out what happened, and there was even a bit of confusion and fear deep in my eyes.

"She disappeared before the first outbreak of the 'Fairy Tale'. She is at the age where she can read fairy tale books independently. This is the only one that fits the criteria," Baili Qing's voice came from the side, "It has been eighty-six years ago."

Yu Sheng's face was as dark as water. He looked at the photo for a long time, and then he saw her name - Zhao Lele.

Even the name is ordinary.

So ordinary that it seemed like it shouldn't appear in a twists and turns of the story - but one night eighty-six years ago, just like the beginning of every story, "that moment" found her.

"The time of disappearance was at night. Afterwards, the orphanage called the police. Of course, there was no follow-up. There are not many records left about the incident. The only information related to the child is this photo and her age and age when she disappeared. There is no name, as to why she became an orphan, and where she came from," Baili Qing said slowly, "If it weren't for the regulations of the board of directors, any case of missing children must be reported and the case will never be closed if no one can be found. It’s also hard to keep this photo.”

Yu Sheng silently put the information away, and Baili Qing did not stop it when she saw it.

"In addition, we are still checking the status of the 'fairy tale book' at that time," Baili Qing continued, "Now we have a general range. If we are lucky, we may be able to find an old book of the same edition that has been preserved. ..."

"Can it really be found?" Yu Sheng asked curiously, "If a book was lost nearly a hundred years ago, would there really be a record?"

"There may not necessarily be records of lost records, but it is possible to find out what books were in that orphanage at that time." Baili Qing nodded, then paused slightly, "Do you think the children in that orphanage at that time How many books can we have in total?”

Yu Sheng: “..—

"Theoretically, even if the management of the orphanage was relatively lax at that time, its most basic asset registration and private donation records should still be there. During the short period of time when the Secret Service temporarily took over the orphanage, we also took over all of it. Some of the information has been sorted and archived. However, in those days, no further indexing mechanism was usually established for this kind of information, so it is difficult to check the details now, and you have to find them manually. "

Yu Sheng nodded slightly.

"Then thank you for the hard work."

"It's within my job," Baili Qing said calmly, then pointed to the documents on the table, "In addition, these are the various surveillance records of the orphanage and its surrounding areas recorded by the Secret Service. Only from the records From the looks of it, there is no such thing as an abnormal energy explosion, and there are no witness reports of the 'luminous object falling silently' that you mentioned. "

“Hey,” Yu Sheng sighed, “It’s quite an expected situation.

"From an optimistic point of view, no 'phenomenon' was recorded. On the contrary, it was the greatest luck of the junction that night eighty-six years ago," Baili Qing said with emotion, "A dark angel chiseled silently. Through our world - if Advent really happens, then every piece of "data" we record will probably be filled in by thousands of human lives. "
