Alien Hotel

In a way of "perception" that he could not fully understand, Yu Sheng felt that he was connected to the valley. His consciousness flowed between the rocks and soil, and walked through the depths of the creeping and undulating woods.

The water and wind here were submerged, and then, through countless pairs of deformed and twisted eyes, the sky above the valley was observed.

The huge eye that could cover the entire sky stared at the earth calmly and indifferently, with no change from beginning to end, just like a detached observer observing the things in the blood.

But Yu Sheng could feel that the eye had noticed him - the moment he had just established a connection with the valley, the gaze of that eye accurately fell on his "body".

That eye was confused and curious. Although it did not show any emotions or "eye changes", Yu Sheng almost directly "read" these thoughts - some kind of huge "thought" was vibrating in this space. , every thought he had set off a storm here, but ordinary people could not perceive these roars echoing in the foreign land. Even Yu Sheng, with the help of the perception of the entire foreign land, could only vaguely feel that there was something behind the eyeball. thinking activities.

But the strange thing is that Yu Sheng didn't feel the slightest hostility from that eye - there was no kindness at all.

Then after a while, he found that the focus of his eyeballs had shifted away from himself, or in other words, it was no longer looking at the entire valley, but focused its gaze on a certain place in the valley.

The eyeballs slowly scanned the ground, seeming to be tracking and looking for something.

Yu Sheng's consciousness gradually diffused, and in the next few minutes, he gradually understood something——·

The entire valley was moving, and some kind of weird and terrifying "vitality" turned this entire foreign land into a hungry living creature.

Li Lin watched helplessly as rows of sharp teeth grew on the ridge in the distance. Between the sharp teeth were terrifying tearing trenches. Those rows of sharp teeth rolled and undulated like waves, and thunderous sounds erupted from their depths. roar.

He also saw that the entire forest in another part of the valley came to life, with black tentacles replacing the original trees there. They spread along the rocky beach at the bottom of the valley, flooding everything along the way like a swarm of predatory insects.

And all of this, under the cold gaze of the huge eyeball in the sky, is strange and terrifying, like a nightmare.

Little Red Riding Hood's wolves howled around, constantly biting off and forcing back the tentacles, eyestalks, and tongues that grew out of the soil. However, no matter how hard the wolves tried, the team's foothold was still shrinking.

The young Secret Service operator couldn't help but feel a little desperate. He turned his head and looked ahead, and saw the girl with a lot of tails running at the front holding the doll. She was hunched over, even if she was holding something in her arms, she was running. His movements are also extremely agile and swift, like a nimble beast in the mountains - and as a human, he can hardly catch up with the "beast".

But at this moment, Hu Li finally slowed down.

She carried Irene (and Irene's kitchen knife) to a depression at the foot of the mountain, then stood on a big rock, stretched her neck and looked around. The pair of furry sky ears on the head of the demon fox girl swayed slightly in the wind. Trembling, as if catching the wind and grass around her, she shrugged her nose vigorously and finally focused her gaze in a certain direction.

"This way! The entrance is here!"

Before she finished speaking, she had already jumped to the ground with Erin in her arms. Seeing this, the others hurriedly followed her and ran towards the mountain wall with her, and saw the entrance of the cave that could only accommodate two people.

"It's very wide inside!"

Hu Li turned around and shouted to the others, then took the lead and got into the cave.

The blue demon fox spirit fire ignited out of thin air, rising from the tip of the beaver's tail into the air, illuminating the scene in the cave.

This seems to be just an ordinary primitive cave. It seems to have been part of the mountain. There are traces of artificial excavation and widening on part of the wall. In the corners of the cave, you can also see some rough and simple utensils. It is obvious that someone once lived in it. After a while.

Xu Jiali took off a palm-sized black device from her waist and carefully scanned the cave.

He spoke in a low voice: "There is no poison, the material structure is stable, and there is no sign of erosion."

Little Red Riding Hood waved her hand and placed a few wolves near the entrance of the cave, while the other wolf shadows returned to her side.

Gradually blending into the shadows beneath her feet.

Hu Li carefully carried Irene to a stone platform near the entrance of the cave, and put the little doll down with a worried look on his face.

"Are you---are you okay?"

She raised her hand and pointed at Erin's broken arm and her right leg, which was not in good condition.

Judging from her appearance, Irene's current state is simply miserable, second only to her benefactor who died just now.

The demon fox girl obviously didn't know much about the "living doll" situation.

"It's okay. This body is only temporary, and some parts are not strong." Irene was very relieved. At this time, she even comforted Hu Li, "Don't worry, Yu Sheng will fix it for me when I get back - my body is What he made, well, although the craftsmanship is pretty good.”

The demon fox girl opened her eyes slightly: "It sounds like my benefactor is very powerful?"

""--perhaps? "Irene was a little hesitant when she said this, "Sometimes I feel like he doesn't look like a human being. He has a bunch of weird abilities and ideas——"

Just in the middle of speaking, the doll girl seemed to feel something, and suddenly raised her head and looked towards the entrance of the cave.

Looking out from this position, one can barely see the scene outside the cave entrance.

"What's wrong?" Hu Li asked curiously.

"You --- hold me and take a look outside? Just at the entrance of the cave," Eileen said hesitantly, "You can't see the outside situation at all from here. I'm not at ease."

Hu Li was a little confused, but didn't think much. He reached out and picked up Irene, and cautiously came to the entrance of the cave.

Erin stretched her neck from Beaver's arms and looked boldly at the sky.

That huge eye is still floating over the valley. The magnificent eyeball is like a pupil structure emerging from the sky itself, which is breathtaking.

"I always feel like this eye has been looking here since just now," Irene quickly retracted her neck and muttered nervously, "Why hasn't Yu Sheng come back yet?"

Hu Li testified and looked down at the little doll in his arms: "My benefactor, everything will be fine, right?"

"He must be fine," Erin lowered her voice, looked back at the three "temporary comrades" in the cave, and whispered to Hu Li, "Don't mention Yu's life and death to them later. They should have forgotten the relevant events by this time.”

Hu Li tilted his head and twitched his big furry ears twice, not sure if he understood.

Li Lin curiously raised his head and glanced at the demon fox and the puppet hiding near the entrance of the cave. He frowned slightly. He didn't know if it was an illusion. He always felt that he had overlooked something when he followed the two people all the way here. One very important thing disappeared from his mind unconsciously.

He looked at Xu Jiali and Little Red Riding Hood nearby, but didn't see any strange color on their faces.

Xu Jiali was carefully searching and exploring the situation deep in the cave at this time, while Little Red Riding Hood was sitting on a stone bench with her arms folded, staring at the shadow wolves standing guard near the entrance of the cave.

Her red coat was torn in the previous battle in the woods. One sleeve was torn to pieces, and now her entire right arm was exposed. The arm was now covered with fine bloody lines, as if the flesh and blood had been torn apart and now only barely reassembled. Gathering and joining together have become what they were originally.

The blue fox fire burned quietly in the upper part of the cave, casting Little Red Riding Hood's shadow on the ground. The shadow was swaying, and occasionally twisted and deformed suddenly for a moment, becoming like the wolves that emerged from the shadow.

The whistling and strange sounds in the valley kept coming from outside, making the silence in the cave seem even more oppressive.

heavy.

Li Lin stood up and walked towards Hu Li and Irene who were guarding the entrance of the cave - he felt that he should at least introduce himself at this time.

But just when he was halfway there, a strange sound made him stop suddenly.

It was an irregular friction sound, like the noise produced by the collision and friction of sharp teeth.

Immediately afterwards, his spiritual intuition suddenly jumped. Xu Jiali, who was inspecting the depths of the cave, and Little Red Riding Hood, who was sitting on the stone bench and trying to calm down, also subconsciously raised their heads.

The "smell" in the valley changed.

After another two or three seconds, the outside of the cave suddenly became quiet, as quiet as if the whole world had fallen into deathly silence.

But this silence only lasted for a moment, and there were strange friction sounds and whimpering sounds that were different from the previous chaotic roars. These sounds reached everyone's ears, and became clearer and clearer, and became more and more-- ---Loud.

The fox who was sitting on the ground near the entrance of the cave stood up instantly and looked outside nervously. Irene also used her broken arm to support the beaver's arm, trying to confirm the situation outside the cave - but at this moment ,

The doll girl heard Yu Sheng's voice - "Irene."

"Yu Sheng?!" Irene was shocked and responded quickly, "Are you alive? Where are you now? Can you feel my position? Open the door and come over quickly! We found a safe hiding place, it's not safe outside now ,

There’s a big problem in the valley—….”

However, before she could finish speaking, the voice from her head interrupted her next words: "Eileen, don't panic - it will be over soon."

Eileen felt comfortable for a moment: "..——? Huh?"

The strange friction sounds coming from the valley are more intensive than before,

Yu Sheng's voice continued to ring from the bottom of Eileen's heart: "Irene, do you remember what happened when we contacted Hu Li through dreams and tried to use her perception to find the 'frequency' of this valley?"

Of course Erin remembered.

"You were in direct contact with the essence of 'hunger', and it took root in your mind!" The doll girl said quickly, "What, what's wrong?! Could something happen now?! Are you going to survive?"

The strange friction sounds in the valley became more and more intensive, and even seemed to have filled the entire foreign land. The unsettling sound echoed in the cave, making everyone's nerves gradually tense.

However, in Eileen's heart, Yu Sheng's voice was calmer than ever.

"Don't worry, Irene, I'm fine, I just discovered something - Irene slowly opened her eyes, and she seemed to gradually recognize the sound of the friction echoing in the valley.

"Hunger has not taken root in my psyche."

She heard Yu Sheng's voice coming from the bottom of her heart.

She heard Yu Sheng's voice coming from across the valley.

“But I’m rooted deep in it.”

She finally heard clearly——

-That was the sound of chewing, echoing throughout the valley.

The sublime feast begins.

Hunger, the entity entrenched in this foreign land, began to devour itself.
