Alien Hotel

Open the supermarket door and walk into the supermarket.

It was obviously such a simple and normal process, but at this moment Yu Sheng felt that he couldn't believe it. The impact of opening the door just a few times was so great that he still has side effects of opening the door, even when he saw the shelves in front of him. When I talk to my boss, I can’t help but have some outrageous ideas in my mind——

Could this be a different-dimensional lair that looks exactly like the small supermarket in my memory but is actually mimicked by some evil gadget? The shelves looked the same as usual. Maybe the bottles and jars on them were filled with eyeballs soaked in formalin. The boss opposite would suddenly take out a chain sword from his trouser pocket after saying hello. A charge cut him off under the cashier...

Fortunately, these outrageous thoughts only wandered around in his head for a while. Yu Sheng quickly calmed down and first confirmed that he had indeed entered a normal supermarket. At the same time, he roughly understood under what circumstances he could be "normal and correct" Open the door." Then he nodded to the young boss opposite: "Come and buy something - are there boxes of instant noodles and compressed biscuits? "

"We have instant noodles. The unpacked ones are piled under the stairs on the second floor. What kind do you want?" Although the young boss thought it was a bit strange that Yu Sheng was in a daze as soon as he came in, he quickly ignored it. Stubble raised his hand and pointed to the iron ladder not far away, "There are no boxes of compressed biscuits anymore. See the middle row of the shelf on the left, that's all. Not many people usually buy this thing, and I don't buy it very much." "

"Okay, help me pack all the biscuits, and I'll move the box of instant noodles... and get two packs of ham sausages, the large one."

"good."

The young boss responded, then turned around and took a big shopping bag to put things on the shelves. While busy, he asked casually: "Suddenly bought so many instant noodles and compressed biscuits? It's not good to just eat these. My wife says this every day I."

"Keep it at home." Yu Sheng said casually.

The supermarket owner didn't say anything else. He packed a large bag of things according to Yu Sheng's request and walked to the checkout. At this moment, the glass door of the supermarket was pushed open again - both doors were pushed open at the same time. , one of the door shafts made a heart-wrenching creaking noise.

The boss who was counting the compressed biscuits and settling accounts heard the sound and quickly raised his head: "Hey, that door is broken, and there is paper on the door."

"Uh, I didn't pay attention." A young man with black hair, casual clothes, and a nondescript face came in. He looked back at the half-glass door with some embarrassment, which seemed to be unable to rotate automatically, and then turned He asked, "Are there boxes of instant noodles?"

At this time, Yu Sheng was walking between two rows of shelves with a box of instant noodles in his arms. When he heard the movement from the cashier, he looked up, but quickly looked away.

"Oh, just this one will do," the young man with short black hair pointed at the instant noodles in Yu Sheng's hand, "I'll take a box too."

The supermarket owner didn't even look up: "Under the stairs on the right hand side in front, take it yourself. I'll settle the account first."

Yu Sheng passed by the young man, checked out at the checkout counter, then walked into the darkening night outside the supermarket, carrying a large shopping bag in one hand and the instant noodles box on the other. .

Li Lin found the instant noodles he wanted to buy under the stairs mentioned by the supermarket owner. He was bending down to move things when he felt a vibration in his pocket. He took out his phone and looked at it, and found that it was a message from the captain.

He turned his head and glanced in the direction of the cashier, looked down at the screen of his mobile phone, and casually replied: "I've settled in and am going out to buy something."

The phone buzzed twice, and a new message popped up on the screen: "Did you notice anything unusual?"

Li Lin typed: "No, I will walk around the streets tomorrow and get in touch with the residents here."

After sending the message, the young Secret Service operator hesitated for a while, then edited the next article: "When will the 'deep diver' in the team arrive? Who will be arranged to come?"

This time, after a while, the phone vibrated again: "Xu Jiali, be at work tomorrow."

Li Lin looked at the message on the screen and was stunned. Just when he was about to send a message to ask something, he saw a new message from the leader: "He has just returned from Aimine-IX. Something happened over there." According to the situation, his mission ended early and he is currently doing a report and a full set of inspections at the bureau. He will be sent to you tomorrow. "

After reading the message on the screen, Li Lin's mouth trembled and he typed quickly: "You are sent here to be on duty just after you have finished your field work? You don't give people half a day off?"

"Xu Jiali requested it on her own initiative. The situation he encountered there is a bit special. He is now suffering from the sequelae of deep diving. He needs to wear a stabilizer all the time these days, so he just moved his vacation after work to next week. Where are you? There shouldn't be any problems in the short term, just take a break while you are there. We will discuss it in detail tomorrow."

Li Lin curled his lips, replied "Okay", then stood up and walked to the checkout counter with the instant noodles box in his arms.

The supermarket owner behind the checkout counter raised his eyelids and took a look. He took out his code scanner and said again: "It's not good to just eat these. My wife tells me about this every day..."

Li Linyile: "Then I won't buy it?"

"A total of 62 yuan."

…

Irene heard the noise coming from the door - the door was opened from the outside, but she poked her head from the edge of the picture frame and looked towards the entrance, but she didn't see Yu Sheng's figure for a long time.

After a while, she saw Yu Sheng finally poking his head in from the door. He looked around inside for a while, then cautiously stepped into the house like a thief, and took out the things he bought. After putting a lot of things on the ground, he turned around and closed the door.

Irene just watched this scene quietly. After Yusheng closed the door, she finally said, "Yu Sheng, what are you doing? Why do you come home like a thief?"

Yu Sheng sighed and muttered while changing his shoes: "Don't mention it. I have a serious psychological shadow on 'opening the door' now. I don't dare to move forward without confirming it three times."

As Erin listened, her eyes fell on the pile of things at the door again.

"It's a lot to buy," Miss Doll said in amazement, "You should push a trolley there, like that camper van, it's very easy to use."

Yu Sheng didn't speak for a while. He just looked down at the instant noodles, ham and compressed biscuits piled at the door. Then he seemed to suddenly remember something and slapped his forehead hard: "I should buy some liquid food! She has been hungry for too long. Just eat this... No, I'll buy another eight-treasure porridge tomorrow morning... How about going now?"

Irene listened silently, and when she saw that Yu Sheng was really about to open the door and go out, she suddenly said: "Let's do it tomorrow."

Yu Sheng had already changed his shoes again at this time, and while holding on to the door handle, he turned back: "She's still hungry..."

"Even if you buy it now, do you have a way to send it to that fox immediately?" Irene looked directly at Yu Sheng, "And... to be honest, I wanted to say it before, even if you put it Sending these things can only temporarily alleviate her situation. The biggest problem there is not the lack of food, but the entity called 'hunger'."

Yu Sheng stopped what he was doing.

After thinking for a moment, he put his shoes back on, walked to the dining table, and sat down opposite Irene.

"That's right. The biggest problem is 'hunger'. Although it's good to fill up your stomach temporarily... But let's talk about it tomorrow. I'm really not in a hurry for now. I have to find a way to stably enter the valley first. That’s it.”

Eileen noticed the solemn look of thinking on Yu Sheng's face when he said the second half of the sentence. At the same time, she thought of the few words the other party revealed when he contacted her just now, and she immediately noticed something keenly.

"...What happened?" she tried to ask, "Do you...have any ideas about entering that valley?"

"Strictly speaking, it's not the idea of ​​​​entering that valley, but..."

Yu Sheng said, raising his hand and grabbing it in the air in front of Irene.

He held a door handle, and a door suddenly appeared in the air. The shape of the door itself was unremarkable, but its edges trembled and trembled like a phantom. Then, under Irene's shocked gaze, Yu Sheng pulled the door sharply.

The illusory door suddenly opened, and Yu Sheng saw a female elf standing on the opposite side of the door who looked like a motor oil guy, with a lot of mechanical joints and a wheel-shaped lower body behind her back, but her upper body was wearing a silver-white robe.

She was standing in front of some kind of large machining equipment, turning her head to look this way in shock.

The mechanical joints behind Elf Jiyou were still quickly and accurately adjusting the large device on the platform that was constantly emitting light. Her eyes were so wide that they seemed to pop out. She stared at Yu Sheng for two seconds before shouting: "So what the hell are you..."

Yu Sheng slammed the door.

"...I didn't expect to be able to connect to the same place twice in a row," Yu Sheng said with a hint of surprise and a hint of thought on his face, "Wait a minute, maybe this is... I'll try it again later... …”

He was just halfway through muttering when Eileen across the table finally couldn't help it anymore. The puppet lady seemed to fly out of the painting and bite someone: "What was that just now!? What was it?! Ah?! "

"As you can see," Yu Sheng breathed out, "it's a door."

"Of course I know it's a door, but the point is -" Erin took a deep breath and jumped up from her chair, "What the hell is that?!"
