Alien Hotel

Yu Sheng belatedly noticed the dead silence around the hut.

The invisible wolf pack disappeared, retreating into the shadow of the Black Forest at some point. Silence enveloped everything, and the most ferocious giant wolf belonging to "this generation of Little Red Riding Hood" never appeared - but Yu Sheng could feel the wolf's sight.

The wolf that had devoured him once was now staring at the hut from a long distance. It had noticed the appearance of its prey, but for some reason, it did not take any action.

What was it observing? What was it waiting for? Or - was the wolf on guard and alert to something?

Yu Sheng carefully extended his perception, trying to analyze the latter's behavior pattern or logic from the wolf's sight, but at this moment, he suddenly "saw" a shadow from that sight.

Near the hut, in the open space between the forest bushes, a figure suddenly appeared - a human figure.

Yu Sheng instantly tensed his nerves, and almost at the same time, he also heard footsteps coming from outside.

It was the sound of footsteps, gradually approaching, stepping on the fallen leaves and rotten soil outside, slowly, almost reaching the door.

Yu Sheng's heart suddenly tightened, he thought of something, immediately raised his head and looked around, then quickly hid in a corner.

And almost at the moment he had just hidden, the door of the hut was pushed open.

A tall figure appeared at the door - under the dim and cold starlight, Yu Sheng only saw a hunting suit with green and brown stripes,

and a thick hood that blocked the face of the visitor. He saw that figure holding a long hunting rifle, walking into the house with a somewhat funny pace, half bent over.

The hunter is here.

But the big bad wolf is dead - it was dead before the hunter arrived.

Yu Sheng saw the tall figure in hunting clothes walk forward two steps and suddenly stopped, obviously seeing the big bad wolf lying on the ground, which had been disemboweled.

The "script" that was supposed to be completed by him was tampered with, so this "entity" also generated by the Black Forest suddenly stagnated in place, like a stuck process.

The hunter did not move, and Yu Sheng, who was hiding in the corner, did not dare to move, so the hut fell into a strange silence.

Yu Sheng even felt that there was a bit of awkwardness in this silence.

At this moment, Irene's voice suddenly rang out from his mind: "Hey! Yu Sheng! Are you alive? How are you doing over there?

Why haven't you come back yet?"

"I'm fine, but there's a little problem," Yu Sheng stared at the "hunter" who was standing still and said quickly in his heart, "How is the situation 'outside'? Have Little Red Riding Hood and the child "returned'?"

"It's going well here. Little Red Riding Hood is vomiting in the bathroom next door. The child has also woken up and vomited with Little Red Riding Hood. It seems that the "sudden awakening" has a great impact on the two of them," Irene said, "To be honest, I was shocked! That child is actually "alive". A person who has not had a heartbeat and breath for a long time can actually be resurrected! How did you do that? Hey, what happened to you? I heard from Little Red Riding Hood that you killed the "wolf grandmother"? So now——"

"Yes, I killed the wolf grandmother, so the "hunter" is stuck here," Yu Sheng sighed and interrupted Irene's chattering, "Do you know the "hunter"? The one who ran out to rescue Little Red Riding Hood at the last minute - I took his job."

Irene was silent, maybe she didn't react all of a sudden.

After two seconds, the puppet's voice sounded again: "Huh?! Stuck?! Can it be like this?"

"It can only be explained this way, otherwise?" Yu Sheng's tone was also helpless, "Anyway, it's still there now. I'm hiding in the corner of the cabinet behind it, and I'm embarrassed to go out. I'm not sure how this thing will react. After all, it should also be an entity generated by the Black Forest. There may be some taboos or something like that."

"Then are you two going to compete for willpower there? If it doesn't work, withdraw first, I'll pull you out.—"

"Don't do it first!" Hearing that Irene was about to "pull" him out by force, Yu Sheng quickly interrupted her. He recalled the feeling after "waking up suddenly" and suddenly felt that it would be better to go up and die. "I'll go and test the truth first, at least see what this hunter looks like."

As he spoke, he had already stood up from his hiding place with his hands and feet, and then slowly walked towards the tall figure in hunting clothes.

The "hunter" seemed not to hear the movement behind him, and still stood blankly next to the big bad wolf like a sculpture.

Yu Sheng gradually became bolder and no longer restrained his steps. He walked to the hunter in two or three steps and looked at him.

Irene's voice sounded in his heart: "Hey, what's up? Didn't you get killed? What does the hunter look like?"

Yu Sheng was silent for two seconds:

".--Under the clothes, it's empty.""

He looked at the "hunter" in front of him and saw that it was just an empty hunting suit, with no face under the hood, only some empty shadows.

The whole "hunter" was just a set of clothes floating there.

But he didn't know if it was an illusion, he always felt that there seemed to be a "sight" under the empty hood, as if there was an invisible face there, and a pair of eyes staring at him.

Yu Sheng took a half step to the side. The "hunter" in front of him was still motionless, but he always felt that the "gaze" from under the hood seemed to move a little with him.

"Hello," Yu Sheng hesitated for a moment, and finally tried to greet the "entity" in front of him, "My name is Yu Sheng, um, I just got here."

Irene's rustling sounded in his heart immediately: "Ah, it sounds so stupid."

Yu Sheng had a blank expression: "Shut up!"

The hunter did not respond to his greeting, only the invisible gaze still existed.

Yu Sheng felt a little embarrassed, and raised his hand and pointed at the wolf corpse on the ground: "This, I did it-I'm sorry for stealing your job."

At this moment, he keenly noticed that the wrinkles on the edge of the hunter's hood had changed.

This "entity" was moving its gaze in the direction of his finger, and--it might even have nodded.

It can communicate!

Yu Sheng's heart moved, but he immediately controlled his expression, and at the same time continued to speak cautiously: "The child eaten by the 'wolf grandmother' has been rescued by me. "

The hunter's hood moved slightly again, and this time Yu Sheng saw clearly that he was really nodding.

"It seems that you have no hostility towards me," Yu Sheng tried to make himself look more friendly, and slightly extended his right hand to the other party, "If we stand from the perspective of fighting against the 'evil wolf', we are on the same side."

The hunter suddenly took a half step back.

Yu Sheng was stunned by the other party's sudden reaction, and then he saw the other party continue to retreat quickly - just like the reverse of entering the door, this invisible "entity" wearing hunting clothes and a hood retreated quickly with that slightly funny but extremely weird pace, retreated to the door of the hut in a few steps, and then disappeared in the vast night outside in almost the blink of an eye.

"Hey -" Yu Sheng subconsciously stretched out his hand and called out, but he didn't stop this weird entity at all.

Irene's voice came from the bottom of his heart: "What happened?"

"The hunter suddenly ran away when I was about to shake his hand," Yu Sheng himself was also confused, "I don't think I should have irritated him."

As he spoke, he sighed, but at this moment, something caught his eye.

It seemed to be a piece of paper that fell to the ground when the hunter left quickly just now.

Yu Sheng bent down and picked up the paper. He saw that it was yellow and fragile, about the size of a palm. There might have been something written on its surface, but it was covered with layers of dirt - ink, oil, and even blood - so that the content on the paper was completely unrecognizable.

"I picked up something-"

After carefully examining the paper for a long time without any results, Yu Sheng muttered in his heart.

"Ah? What did you pick up?"

"A piece of paper that fell from that 'hunter', but it's so dirty and torn that nothing can be seen."

"Uh, do you think you can bring it out?" Irene's tone sounded a little weak, "I should only be able to 'pull' your consciousness out - or should I go in and show you the scene now? I'm still not very good at the study of strange objects and relic examinations, so you don't have to count on me at all."

To be honest, Yu Sheng didn't even hear what the puppet said at first. He was stunned for a while before reacting, and laughed angrily: "You are so honest! "

As he said this, he shook his head, carefully put away the piece of paper that seemed to be broken at any time, and walked to the wolf corpse.

"Next, I will try to open a door from this side to see if I can bring things out. But this is my first time to open a door from the "conscious world" like the "Black Forest" to the real world. I am not sure what will happen. You ask Little Red Riding Hood and the others to stay away first. It is best to wait outside the room. Just you and Hu Li will be on guard next to them."

"Oh, okay!"

After getting confirmation from Irene, Yu Sheng took a deep breath, and then took out his mobile phone and took a look.

He didn't understand whether the "mobile phone" he took out when his consciousness entered the Black Forest should be considered an actual item or just something he dreamed of. Anyway, there is no signal for the mobile phone here.

It seems that there is no way to report it, but the Secret Service should be used to it, right?

With some messy thoughts flashing through his mind, Yu Sheng put away his phone, then bent down and grabbed one of the wolf's legs. With his other hand, he pulled in the air, and an illusory and faintly glowing door appeared out of thin air beside him.
