Alien Hotel

Not only was Erin's curse words unpleasant, the sound of her screaming loudly made people's heads buzz.

Yu Sheng wondered how this guy could make such a big noise through an oil painting - could the entire canvas be used as an amplifier?

"Don't ask me the principle. I don't even know what the principle is." Yu Sheng took out his ears and opened his hands to Irene helplessly. "What is certain at the moment is that I can open the 'door', and These doors can lead to various places, either foreign lands or what you just saw...some distant place. Of course, it is not yet certain whether it is a different world, a different planet or a parallel time and space. Something like that.”

Having said this, he paused and then continued: "Perhaps we should ask the person on the other side of the door about the situation? But the female elf just now didn't seem to be in a good mood..."

Irene was half-sluggish. She listened to Yu Sheng's ramble before she realized what was happening. She thought about it again and again before speaking: "What about... what are the conditions for taking effect? ​​For example, under what circumstances can the door be opened?"

"I'm not sure yet. I feel like it can be opened at any time." Yu Sheng thought for a while and said based on his current feeling. "As for the way to open the door, it seems that there are two ways. One is to directly open the door in reality. There are ordinary doors. This kind of door opens very easily. Sometimes I don't even realize what I have done. As soon as the door opens, it leads directly to 'elsewhere'. The second one is like what you just saw - —”

As Yu Sheng spoke, he raised his hand in the air and gestured to open the door.

"Creating a door out of thin air is more laborious and requires concentration to perceive and imagine. Moreover, once you are distracted during the opening process, the door may suddenly disappear, but the advantage is that you will not accidentally push the door and enter a foreign land. "

Irene stared at Yu Sheng's movements with scarlet eyes. Her eyes followed Yu Sheng's arms swinging back and forth several times. After holding back for a long time, she broke the silence: "...are you a human?"

Yu Sheng was immediately a little dissatisfied: "How do you say this!"

"It's now, do you still have the nerve to say that sentence? Just that sentence, you told me not long ago," Irene thought while recalling, and then imitated Yu Sheng's original tone and expression before speaking. , "—I'm not a human being, are you?"

She turned around and looked directly into Yu Sheng's eyes.

"Some humans can master some supernatural powers, but I have never seen anything like you."

"Maybe you've seen it but you've forgotten it?" Yu Shengwu said harshly, "Your mind is not very reliable."

Eileen was stunned: "...Yes, yes?"

This time, it was Yu Sheng's turn to be a little embarrassed. He just said something harsh and habitually quarreled with this doll. He never expected that Irene had a clear self-understanding of herself, and her first reaction was to recognize her... Got it...

However, he quickly adjusted his expression, coughed twice and brought the topic back: "So now it seems that the fact that I fell into that valley at that time has nothing to do with the weird characteristics of this house, but it should be me who opened the door. The channel opened by itself in an instant, so as long as I can reproduce the operation at that time, I can return to that foreign land, in theory. "

When talking about business, Erin's expression became serious: "Is this ability controllable?"

"...Semi-controllable," Yu Sheng said uncertainly, and then explained, "Now I can basically control when to open the passage to 'elsewhere' and when to open the normal door, but the specific It’s completely impossible to determine where it leads, and it’s not even ruled out that you will fall directly into the crater as soon as you open the door. But... I have just confirmed one thing.”

Eileen asked hurriedly: "Which point?"

"The passage can indeed be reproduced. Under certain circumstances, opening the door twice can lead to the same place," Yu Sheng said, "Just like the elf you just saw, I have met her for the second time."

Erin: "...Oh, no wonder she reacted just now."

Yu Sheng's face was a little embarrassed: "I'm not sure how this happened, but I vaguely remember the 'feeling'. I think as long as I try more and train a few more times, I should be able to stably open those connections." It was a 'gate' once, but the biggest problem now is... I was completely unprepared when I entered that valley, and I have almost forgotten the feeling when opening the door, which makes it very difficult to recreate that passage. "

"But at least you finally have an idea now, don't you?" Eileen immediately spoke to comfort her, "I always thought it was fanciful that you wanted to go back and save the fox, but now it's become a feasible plan. , right?"

When Yu Sheng heard this, he looked up and down at the puppet in the oil painting with somewhat surprised eyes. This gaze made the latter shrink back in his chair awkwardly: "Look at what I'm doing. I told you that you and the Paper Man are not the same." There will be…”

This time, Yu Sheng interrupted before the other party could finish his words: "This is the first time I heard a few good words from you - I always thought you were just full of trash talk, but I never thought you knew how to comfort me. people."

Erin: "..."

Erin's swearing was awful.

But Yu Sheng is in a good mood now, and even Irene's scolding sounds can be regarded as BGM in life.

He looked at his hands, waved them in the air, stood up from the table, and walked back and forth in the restaurant, looking very energetic.

Seeing this, Irene stopped talking about birds and flowers, and her eyes followed Yu Sheng: "Are you going to start... um, 'training' now?"

"It's better to do it sooner rather than later. Anyway, I slept all day during the day and am very energetic now," Yu Sheng said matter-of-factly. "This exercise doesn't take up much space."

"Then take it easy. If you open the door again and see the elf just now, maybe a big fireball will burst over from the other side - you will splatter me with blood again."

This rubbish makes sense once you hear it.

Yu Sheng waved his hand carelessly, and his eyes fell on the kitchen door next to him.

Opening the door out of thin air requires extra energy consumption. As an exercise, of course it is more appropriate to use a "physical door" that does not consume much.

But before that, Yu Sheng suddenly thought of something else.

"What did you just say?" He turned back and looked at the painted puppets on the dining table.

Erin thought for a while: "...Let you take it easy? Prevent the elf opposite from bursting into a big fireball?"

"I mean the one that deserves more beatings."

The corner of Eileen's mouth twitched: "Don't splatter my blood!"

"Yes, that's it. I want to test this first," Yu Sheng grinned and came to the dining table with a smile. He raised his hand and picked up a small fruit knife on the table, "My blood."

Irene was shocked to the naked eye, and jumped up from the chair holding the teddy bear: "Hey, what are you doing! I just said casually, why do you want to use the knife? I'm warning you that I am very easy to mess with, you You don’t need to use a knife. Just put that thing down and scratch the canvas and I might tear it..."

The puppet beeped a lot when it panicked. Yu Sheng couldn't help but frown: "Why are you nervous? I didn't say I wanted to cut you."

Before he finished speaking, he had already put the knife on his finger - but after a moment of hesitation, he moved it to the back of his hand. Then he gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, and there was a cut.

It doesn’t even hurt too much.

Irene stared at this scene dumbfounded, watching as Yu Sheng brought his bleeding hand towards her and stepped back repeatedly. As he stepped back, he exclaimed: "What are you doing! Wait...don't believe it in the novel." I told you to watch less of this stuff, right?"

"First, I write novels. Although I don't do well, I have a strong opinion about your objections to novels." Yu Sheng glanced at the frightened puppet in the painting, "Secondly, , this has nothing to do with identifying the owner by dripping blood, I just want to test some conjectures - when we were in that valley, the beaver came into contact with my blood, and then some changes occurred in her and I. I want to see See if something similar happens to you."

Yu Sheng was referring to the fact that Hu Li suddenly became able to detect his "death" after coming into contact with his blood, and that he was able to perceive part of Hu Li's thinking and memory. In addition, he also suspected that Hu Li had appeared in his dream world. The projection of the silver-white demon fox is also related to this "blood connection".

Irene was slightly startled after hearing Yu Sheng's words, and then noticed the other party's serious attitude. Although she didn't know what was going on, she gradually calmed down, even though she was still reluctant (mainly because she was not very Believing in Yu Sheng's suspicious operation process), she still adopted a cooperative attitude.

Of course, the main reason for cooperation is that she can't run away. After all, she is sealed in the oil painting. Normally she can't do anything except beep loudly, but now Yu Sheng has basically adapted to her loud beeps...

But to be honest, Erin wasn't a suitable "test partner."

After all, her "physique" is a bit special.

It was difficult for Yu Sheng to determine whether his blood was applied to Irene or to the oil painting as the sealing medium - he smeared his blood on the frame and squeezed some more while the wound was not healed. Blood dripped on the canvas, but no matter what kind of operation, he could not let his blood directly contact the body of the puppet in the oil painting like Hu Li did that time.

Erin looked up, not sure what her perspective in the painting was - but she clearly felt the contact of blood.

But that's all.

The oil painting did not "absorb" Yu Sheng's blood like the beaver licked the blood.

"Do you feel anything?" Yu Sheng waited for a while and then asked with some uncertainty.

Erin thought for a while: "...It was warm? But now it's cold."

Yu Sheng: "...It seems useless."
