Alien Hotel

The breath of the wolf retreated temporarily, and the heart filled with wolf poison gradually shriveled up and withered in Yusheng's arms. The black forest suddenly became quiet, there were no longer those low and chaotic howls, and there was no longer that sound coming from the depths of the forest. The look he casts.

Hu Li and Irene ran out of the hut and dragged Julien into the house together.

"My dear friend, how are you?" Hu Li looked nervously at Yu Sheng, who was turning blue, and the hair on his tail was standing up. "Can you still hear me?"

"You can hear it, you can hear it... don't get so close," Yu Sheng gasped hard, feeling the loss of physical strength and the coldness and numbness gradually spreading in his blood vessels, "I'm going to die. This thing is poisonous. I was poisoned when I touched it..."

"Looking at me, I feel like you are about to die. Your face is all black." Irene came over from the side, crawled onto Yu Sheng's chest, and looked at the latter's face with her scarlet eyes, "How about it, Grandma Wolf?" Is it dead? Does this count as killing it? "

"Dead, but temporarily, like all entities, it will come back, and the black forest will return to what it was before we came in in the next cycle," Yu Sheng said with difficulty, coughed twice, and continued , "But it doesn't matter, I have intervened in its cycle now... We succeeded, at least a big step... You come down first, you are dead now."

"Nonsense, my current body is made of steel and stone," Irene muttered as she obediently climbed down from Yu Sheng's chest, "but you didn't feel too heavy when I sat on your shoulders before."

"I'm not going to die now, I'm lying weak," Yu Sheng said, stopped to take a breath, and stretched out his hand to Hu Li beside him, "help me up."

Hu Li quickly hummed and held Yu Sheng's arm: "My dear friend, what do you want to do?"

"You two go back," Yu Sheng said. With Hu Li's support, he stretched his hands into the air, and a shimmering door gradually appeared. "Take my weapons with you. That thing is quite useful." Yes, I will improve it when I go back and then use it... Oh, By the way, I’ll also bring this deflated heart. Little Red Riding Hood’s wolf grandmother didn’t leave anything usable on her body. This heart looks like it’s made of flesh. Now that it’s finished bleeding, I’ll look into it later and see if I can make one. Stir-fried wolf heart with chili pepper..."

"Are you going to eat this thing too?!" Irene was shocked when she heard this, and looked at Yu Sheng dumbfounded, "Isn't this a bit too scary?"

"Try it, try it. It took a lot of effort to kill it, and it killed me once." Yu Sheng took a breath, "I feel really bad if I don't fire it."

Eileen was indescribably weird in her heart, but the beaver, who only listened to raw words at all times, had already used its two tails to wrap up the shriveled wolf heart and the tetanus stick that fell on the ground, and took a step forward When he came to the door, he turned around and asked: "My dear benefactor, aren't you going back?"

Yu Sheng waved his hand: "I'll stay here."

"Ah?" Irene raised her head with surprise on her face, "Aren't you going to die at home?"

"I'll wait here to see when the hunter will show up." Yu Sheng was already a little unsteady on his feet at this time. "What if we can communicate... I can just die here later."

"Okay, let's go back first," Eileen sighed, and then asked casually, "Are you going to have something to eat? Hu Li and I will help you prepare it first... Don't look like that, we won't open fire. I’ll just do the dishes for you.”

"Wash two cucumbers, and then wash two tomatoes. It should be almost morning when I go back. I just died and want to eat something light. I want to make cold noodles, tomato and egg marinade with cucumber shreds."

"oh."

Erin and Hu Li left, and the shimmering door slowly dissipated.

The hut became quiet. Yu Sheng looked around and saw that the place was in a mess due to the previous battle. Although the giant wolf never stepped into the house, the spreading fox fire and penetrating threads destroyed almost everything in the house. furnishings, and left large burn marks on the walls and floors.

He exhaled and trudged to the burned-down cot in the corner of the room, where he sat among the wreckage, waiting for the hunter, waiting to die.

Wolfsbane coursed in his veins, and his blood flowed in the dark forest.

The faint cry sounded distant and vague, as if a curtain had been separated at some point, and as if something was soothing the source of the cry, making it gradually quiet down.

A slight rustling sound came from the remains of the crib. Yu Sheng looked at the source of the sound and saw a dark brown, furry little thing poking its head out from the charred debris, with a head still wrapped around it. With a circle of red rag strips.

"Oh, Squirrel, I thought you must have run away," Yu Sheng greeted Squirrel, "You are very brave."

"Song... the squirrel knight is fearless... fearless..." The squirrel repeated these words over and over again, as if there was something wrong with its sanity, but suddenly it stopped again and stared at Yu Sheng blankly, "Wait, you're about to die... You were bitten by a wolf, and the wolf's heart bit you! You... you're going to die! You're really going to die! You're going to die in the real world too! What should I do, what should I do? what to do……"

It seemed that it finally discovered something scary and started to yell, looking anxious and frightened.

"I came here with my real body," Yu Sheng just smiled at it, "Don't be so nervous, I will come back - for me, 'death' is just a temporary symptom, of course you don't have to think about this complicated thing now. Calm down, little squirrel, if you don't want to leave, just chat with me."

The squirrel stared with round eyes, as if he didn't understand what Yu Sheng was saying, and didn't know what he should do at the moment, and fell into a state of not enough brain.

"You've wrapped yourself in this red cloth again," Yu Sheng stretched out his finger and pressed the squirrel's head, "Do you like this very much?"

"Red cloth... Red cloth is a good omen," the squirrel was startled and spoke subconsciously, "Squirrels also need their own red cloaks... Red cloaks will scare away evil wolves, and red cloaks are proof that they haven't turned into wolves..."

"Is the red cloak proof that they haven't turned into wolves? So that's the case," Yu Sheng said slowly, holding up his eyelids, "Does the squirrel also worry about turning into a wolf in the forest?"

The squirrel suddenly stopped talking and stood there blankly, as if it had fallen into a new round of downtime because of Yu Sheng's question.

This little animal always downtimes like this, as if it uses a brain that is too small to carry too many thoughts that are beyond its ability to understand.

Yu Sheng feels that he seems to be in the same situation now.

His mind was gradually becoming numb. Wolfsbane seemed to have replaced his blood flow, gradually growing many cold and vicious branches in his blood vessels. He felt dizzy and the little squirrel appeared in his vision. He heard the hollow sound of wind coming from the forest. The wolves began to howl one after another. They always howled like this because that's what the story said, at least... that's what the storyteller thought.

In the gradually darkening vision, Yu Sheng saw something.

His eyes seemed to penetrate the black forest, the barrier shrouded in shadows, and the thick soil beneath it. He saw countless fine branches, which were like tree branches, supporting this place on the "other side" of the forest. He also saw many intertwined structures, which were like blood vessels and nerves, entangled and filled with chaos and nothingness. The end of each cluster of intertwined structures was supported like a tree branch.

They supported the king's castle, the wilderness where knights and dragons fought, the never-ending dance, the high tower that imprisoned the princess, the bedroom surrounded by thorns, the beanstalks towering into the sky, and the sea and the palace surrounded by songs...

But Yu Sheng didn't want to see these.

He wanted to see the "other end", the depths of those interwoven structures.

He tried to control his sight, wanting to turn his eyes and look at the depths of the chaos, the source of those interwoven structures.

But an extreme darkness blocked him, and there seemed to be nothing in the depths of the chaos.

Footsteps came into his ears.

Yu Sheng woke up briefly again, and his consciousness returned from the perspective that penetrated the black forest and fell back into the cabin.

The fire in the cabin had gone out, and the candlelight on the table had long disappeared. A cold atmosphere enveloped everything, and a tall figure pushed open the door of the cabin and walked into the house with mechanical and stiff steps.

The dim starlight shone on the figure, outlining a vague outline of it.

"Hello, 'Hunter'," Yu Sheng said to the figure who walked in with a smile. He leaned against the remains of the small bed and felt that the empty and invisible body was looking at him. "I have been waiting for you for a long time. I am almost dying."

The hunter came to him slowly, with his empty hood lowered, as if he was carefully observing the "dying" "person" in front of him.

Although he could not see the "expression" under the hood, Yu Sheng felt that the hunter seemed to be in confusion.

This may be because he himself was flowing with a little wolf's poisonous blood in his body at this moment, which made the "hunter" unable to judge whether he should shoot or not.

Yu Sheng did not explain anything. He saved every bit of his strength, slowly took out a piece of paper from his arms, and unfolded it in front of the hunter.

Twelve men and women wearing heavy protective armor stood there, leaving a meticulous photo.

"Remember this?" Yu Sheng raised his head and whispered, "Are you... one of them?"

The hunter stood there motionless, without any response.

Yu Sheng waited patiently, wondering which would come first, his own death or the hunter's response.

Then he saw the hollow and invisible body slowly raise the hunting rifle in his hand.

Yu Sheng: "......?"

No, buddy?

"Bang!"

The gun went off.

Death and response came at the same time.
