Alien Hotel

From Little Red Riding Hood's reaction and the expression on the face of the girl who just came in, Yu Sheng quickly guessed what happened.

He frowned for a moment, but before he spoke, Little Red Riding Hood had already waved her hand hurriedly: "You guys wait here, I will come as soon as I go."

"No, I'm with you." Yu Sheng stood up without any explanation. Hu Li next to him also reached out to hold Irene in his arms and stood up.

"This is an internal matter within 'Fairy Tale', and we have gone through this similar process many times," Little Red Riding Hood said with a dark and heavy expression on her face, "Thank you for your concern, but--"

"It's nothing but, I know what you mean - but your wolf bit me," Yu Sheng interrupted the other party directly. He knew what to say to make this somewhat stubborn girl give in, so he did not hesitate to bring up old matters again. Mention, "I have been involved in the "fairy tale". Maybe I will go to that dark forest in my dream next time.

So I had to find out more. "

Faced with such a statement, Little Red Riding Hood really lost the confidence to continue to persist. She could only look at Yu Sheng with a complicated expression, and then nodded lightly.

"Long Hair" looked at Yu Sheng and his party with some confusion, as if he had many questions in his mind, but after noticing the look in Little Red Riding Hood's eyes, he swallowed all his words and turned around to open the door.

As soon as he came out of the reception room, Yu Sheng saw many children gathered in the corridor.

There were children who looked only six or seven years old or even younger, and there were also children who looked about twelve or thirteen years old. They gathered in the corridor in small groups, the most noisy ones at this time. But it seemed extremely quiet.

A little girl in a blue skirt saw Little Red Riding Hood coming out, hesitantly walked over, and carefully grabbed the latter's clothes: "Teacher Su said - Xiaoxiao graduated today, is it true?"

Little Red Riding Hood pursed her lips, bent down and pressed the little girl's head: "Well, she left today.

Go somewhere else. "

"Will she come to the classroom again in the afternoon? I made her a gift————

"Just give the gift to Teacher Su, and she will hand it over to you - the graduating children will leave soon, and I probably won't have time to say goodbye to you, but - I will send it to her for you."

"oh--"

Little Red Riding Hood got up and hurriedly walked through the corridor with Yu Sheng and his party.

After leaving the sight of the group of children, Yu Shengcai frowned and asked softly: "Did you just say that this kind of thing has happened many times?"

"Many times," Little Red Riding Hood nodded slightly, "some children were already in very unstable conditions when they came here, and some - they themselves suffered from mental illness, and "fairy tales" will aggravate their condition. "We don't face death crises only in 'adulthood'; we face them throughout childhood."

Erin looked up from Hu Hu's arms: "They don't know the truth?"

"The youngest group of children don't know, because the extra tension, fear and confusion of the unknown will intensify the impact of 'fairy tales' on them, but at the age of about thirteen or fourteen, they will gradually understand from 'dreams'" to what will happen next, and at the same time begin to grasp the power that 'fairy tales' bring to them - we call this point 'awakening', after that, they will become 'parents' - we have a mature guidance process. "

Irene buried her head in Huli's arms again, her voice sounded muffled: "...-This is the first time I feel mature sex process. It sounds so uncomfortable."

Yu Sheng did not speak, he just pursed his lips tightly, and his expression looked particularly gloomy, as if there was a fire and some strong and persistent thoughts that were brewing.

Irene noticed something. She quickly raised her head and glanced at Yu Sheng, but said nothing.

They quickly passed through the east building, and then, led by Little Red Riding Hood, walked through the corridor between the two buildings and entered the building called the "West Building".

As soon as he stepped into this building, Yu Sheng quickly felt the change in the surrounding environment, or the atmosphere.

A vague sense of - "": "suppression" seemed to permeate the entire building. The corridor was so quiet that it was a bit unnerving. The lights were bright, but he always felt that there were dark corners everywhere around him. It is a kind of psychological "darkness", as if there are many things in the west building that cannot be dispersed by the light disc, dividing the entire building into countless scattered parts.

"There are many seals and isolation measures in this building," Little Red Riding Hood seemed to notice the change in Yu Sheng's expression, and explained softly, "This is our containment and research facility for the time being - children who have had accidents must be here first. They must undergo certain "safety handling" before they can be sent outside."

Yu Sheng didn't speak, but nodded silently.

He followed Little Red Riding Hood and Long Hair through the uncomfortable corridor. The sunlight streaming in from the window left intermittent shadows on the wall. Finally, they came to a large, heavy-looking iron door. And a young woman in a light gray coat, who looked to be in her twenties and looked tired, was standing at the door, seeming to be leaning against the wall in a daze.

Be an adult.

Yu Sheng was stunned for a moment when he saw the other party, but soon he remembered what Little Red Riding Hood had told him.

An "employee" sent by the council?

"This is 'Teacher Su'. She is responsible for taking care of children under the age of seven," Sure enough, "Long Hair" introduced in a low voice, "She is sent by the council, and the children like her very much."

The young woman known as "Teacher Su" finally woke up from her daze. She noticed the person coming, but she didn't seem to pay attention to him. Instead, her eyes fell on Little Red Riding Hood.

"It was during class——" she whispered, obviously an adult, but in front of Little Red Riding Hood she seemed like a child who had made a mistake, "I——.should have noticed earlier————

"It's useless to notice it earlier. It may be too late before we are sent here," Little Red Riding Hood shook her head, "We have to go in and check the situation."

"".-Okay," the young woman bit her lip and nodded, but at this moment, she seemed to finally notice the existence of Yu Sheng, Irene, and Hu Li, "Wait, who are they? "

"Come with me," Little Red Riding Hood had already pushed open the heavy iron door, "you are also my friend."

The woman was stunned, but Yu Sheng had already walked past her, and before entering the door, he turned his face and nodded to her: "Hello, my name is Yu Sheng, Yu Sheng from the 'hotel'.

D.

Hu Li also followed suit: "My name is Hu Li, Hu Li from the 'hotel'."

"My name is Irene, Irene from 'Hotel'!"

Before the woman could react, several figures had already walked into the door. The iron door was closed, leaving her standing in the corridor a little dull.

The room is brightly lit.

But the "darkness" that seemed to spread directly from the psychological level was even more serious than in the corridor.

Yu Sheng saw that there were no furnishings in this huge room, except for a small single bed placed in the middle.

A thin figure covered with a thin quilt was lying on the bed, seeming to be sleeping deeply.

An inexplicable resistance stirred in his heart, but Yu Sheng still took steps forward.

The child lay there, sleeping peacefully.

But he didn't breathe, and his chest didn't rise at all.

Some fine, disturbing red lines covered her neck, arms, and calves, and there were still blood stains between the lines, as if those places had been torn apart and then barely healed together.

Yu Sheng instantly recalled the changes in Little Red Riding Hood's arm that he had seen in the valley.

"It was handled in time, and no other children saw it," Rapunzel whispered from the side. "She briefly turned into a wolf in the nightmare. It only took a moment, and it was already too late."

""--Fortunately, she finally returned to her human form at the last moment," Little Red Riding Hood sighed softly, "At least we can send her away in a 'human' way. "

"Wait, wolf?" Yu Sheng finally determined something and looked at Little Red Riding Hood with a confused look on his face, "Her 'symptom' is also turning into a wolf?" so-"

"Don't you know?" It was Rapunzel on the other side who spoke. She pointed to the child lying on the bed, "She may be the next Little Red Riding Hood."

Having said this, she shook her head with a low expression: "But there is no point in talking about it now."

"You have seen it," Little Red Riding Hood took a long breath and said to the student, "This is the end of the story - her childhood is over."

"Will you do the same then?"

"Yes, I will be like this in the future - if I'm lucky, I'll look like a human being, if I'm unlucky - I'll look like a different person. "

Yu Sheng didn't speak. He stared at the girl in red in front of him for a long time, and then looked at the child lying on the bed. He remained motionless for a long time, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

A few minutes passed like this, and just when Little Red Riding Hood finally couldn't help but speak, Yu Sheng suddenly moved.

He reached out and touched the blood stain near the child's neck on the bed.

Rapunzel's eyes widened instantly and she took a step forward: "What are you doing?"

Yu Sheng didn't even raise his head: "I want to know what she saw at the last moment. If possible, maybe I can say a few more words to her."

Rapunzel was stunned, but just when she was about to speak, Little Red Riding Hood stretched out her hand to stop her.

At almost the same time, Yu Sheng also asked "?" in confusion.

"What's wrong?" Eileen said subconsciously.

Yu Sheng did not respond. He just kept reaching out to touch the blood marks. He stood there steadily for more than ten seconds, as if he was observing or sensing some unusual information. After a while, he Then he suddenly blinked his eyes and exhaled sharply.

".—She's not dead."

He said softly, with hesitation and confusion in his tone, and then as if to emphasize, he raised his head again, looked around everyone present, and nodded vigorously again.

"I think she's not dead."
