Dimensional Hotel-Chapter 199: Your Good Friend Yu Sheng Brings You New Work

With the opening of the ethereal Door, Yu Sheng returned once again to the living room of Wutong Road No. 66.

The faint sound of a baby crying, which had been constantly ringing in his ears, faded away. The warm, bright light and the familiar sights of home immediately dispelled the oppressive coldness brought by the dark Forest. Yu Sheng instinctively took a deep breath, easing the tense emotions that had built up.

Foxy couldn’t help but glance back in the direction where the Door had vanished, a look of concern in her eyes. “Is it really alright to leave Squirrel there like that?”

“We can’t exactly bring it out,” Yu Sheng shook his head. “The Squirrel entered the Black Forest many years ago, and by now it has become a part of that forest. If we bring it out carelessly, we don’t know what might happen. But there’s no need to worry. It’s lived in that forest for so long, it’ll be fine.”

Irene also crawled down from Yu Sheng’s shoulder, commenting as she did, “Indeed, and I feel like the Squirrel seems much more relaxed now. It always seemed a bit insane before, but now it’s not exactly normal, but it’s definitely much better than before.”

Yu Sheng hummed in acknowledgment, not saying much more. Instead, he looked down at the Angel’s Umbilical Cord (a fake one) and the Hunter’s bullets he had brought back.

After leaving the Black Forest, the Umbilical Cord, which had previously shown signs of partial activation, had returned to its withered state. Now, it lay quietly in the box.

As for the Hunter’s bullets… Yu Sheng never did meet the Hunter.

It seemed like next time, he would have to bring Little Red Riding Hood along to the Black Forest. If nothing else, at least he could use the mechanisms of the forest to bring out the ‘Wolf Granny.’ Only then would he have a chance of meeting the Hunter.

But Yu Sheng suddenly thought of a question—

What would happen if they entered the Black Forest carrying the ‘Angel Umbilical Cord’ along with Little Red Riding Hood? Would Little Red Riding Hood also be ‘dragged along’ to see those ‘initial memories’? Would she see the phantom of the original Little Red Riding Hood and the early days of the Black Forest? Or would these ‘memories of the past’ only happen once? Or would they see memories of different periods of the Black Forest?

Yu Sheng’s mind began to wander, standing there lost in thought for a long time. Irene, noticing this, bumped his leg with her head. “Hey, hey, what are you zoning out about?”

Yu Sheng snapped back to reality. “Oh, nothing. I was just thinking about taking Little Red Riding Hood into the Black Forest next time. I want to try out the ‘Angel Umbilical Cord’ and see if it has any other effects.”

“Let’s deal with that next time. What about now?”

Yu Sheng thought for a moment and pulled out his phone. “I need to report the new intelligence we discovered to the Special Affairs Bureau… and the Angel Umbilical Cord as well.”

As he spoke, he flipped through his contacts. He saw the names Li Lin and Xu Jiali but, thinking about how important this matter was, he looked toward Song Cheng’s name. After hesitating for a couple of seconds, he furrowed his brow and pointed at another name. “…No, this kind of thing still needs to be reported to Bai Li Qing.”

“Director Bai is always receiving your calls,” Irene couldn’t resist complaining. “Your call frequency is about the same as those selling insurance. You’re lucky she hasn’t cursed you out in front of you.”

“This is Dark Angels-level intelligence!” Yu Sheng shot a glare at the little doll. “She probably hopes for more of this kind of intelligence…”

He didn’t notice that the call had already been connected, and as his words left his mouth, Bai Li Qing’s rare hurried voice suddenly came through the earpiece. “What intelligence are you talking about?!”

“Ah, cough, cough,” Yu Sheng cleared his throat, quickly getting his thoughts together. “Dark Angels, about Anka Aila. It’s a long story, but I’ve made some new progress in my investigation… Also, I need you to help me find some information, so I thought I’d give you a call.”

“…Give me a rough idea of the situation so I can make arrangements.”

“It all started when I got a hold of this ‘Angel Umbilical Cord’…”

As soon as Yu Sheng spoke, a soft intake of breath came through the receiver.

“We need to talk in person.” Bai Li Qing said succinctly.

The next second, Bai Li Qing looked up as Yu Sheng walked into her office and found a seat. She glanced at him as he nodded at her. “Alright, we’ll talk in person.”

Even the famously expressionless Director Madam, known for her ‘steel face,’ had a slight dazed look at this moment.

After holding back for a few seconds, she finally spoke, “…Did you report this?”

“Reported it,” Yu Sheng waved his phone. “Your phones are really useful.”

“… As long as you’ve reported it,” Bai Li Qing said with a strange expression, nodding. She then glanced at Yu Sheng’s back. “What about those two, Irene and Foxy? Didn’t they come with you this time?”

“It’s just a quick chat through a Door, no need to bring everyone along every time,” Yu Sheng waved his hand. “Anyway, it’s not that far from here.”

Bai Li Qing paused for a moment, then took a slow breath. “True. Now, tell me about it. What’s going on with the ‘Angel’s Umbilical Cord’? Did you bring it?”

“The thing’s right here. I knew you’d be interested,” Yu Sheng replied, not bothering to avoid the question. He walked over and placed the wooden box on Bai Li Qing’s desk. “You can take a look, maybe do a little sampling, but don’t damage it. And I need to take it when I leave—this thing has great potential for me.”

Bai Li Qing stared at Yu Sheng as he casually placed the wooden box containing the Angel’s Umbilical Cord on her desk. Her brows twitched slightly, and after a moment of hesitation, she carefully opened the box. She peered inside with her faded, yet sharp, eyes, watching the “contents” with utmost caution.

As she did, it seemed like faint eyes appeared in the air behind her, curiously observing the contents of the box alongside her.

After hearing Yu Sheng say, “I still have great use for this,” Bai Li Qing finally pulled her gaze away from the box. With a slightly odd expression, she looked up at him. After a long silence, she suddenly blurted out, “… Fermented in alcohol?”

Yu Sheng: “… Hey, what is it with all of you?!”

“All of us?” Bai Li Qing responded, a little taken aback.

Yu Sheng frowned deeply. “Irene’s like this too!”

Bai Li Qing was silent for a moment, then quickly composed herself, her expression shifting back to a more serious tone.

“I’ll have the recovery team sent from the dispatch center right away,” she said seriously. “The laboratory will conduct a quick analysis. Don’t worry, they’ll follow your instructions. Afterward, you can take it whenever you wish.”

Yu Sheng nodded in acknowledgment.

The “recovery team” Bai Li Qing referred to arrived quickly. There seemed to be many such teams stationed throughout the building, ready to handle any “dangerous objects” that unexpectedly appeared across different floors. Within minutes, heavy, rapid footsteps echoed down the hallway, followed by several towering figures in heavy protective suits—the same ones Yu Sheng had seen in the analysis lab before.

These individuals, encased in Terminator-like armor, with thick face masks obscuring their identities, carefully used special containers to remove the Angel’s Umbilical Cord from the office. After they left, Bai Li Qing turned her attention back to Yu Sheng.

“Now, let me tell you what information I need—it’s a bit vague, so it might take some time to find,” Yu Sheng immediately began. “First, I need information on the ‘Orphanage’ where Little Red Riding Hood was located. This is from the time of the first ‘Fairy Tale’ Otherworld outbreak, or even earlier, to see if there are any reports about ‘falling objects,’ ‘shocks,’ or ‘hallucinations.’ The description is that of an elliptical, glowing object falling from the sky in silence, its light vanishing upon impact. Look for any sightings like this.”

“Also, during this time period, was there any abnormal… ‘signal’ detected in that Orphanage and the surrounding area? I can’t really describe it, but it’s like an omen of an angel’s descent. Yes, I believe Anka Aila might have arrived during that time, but her descent was interrupted. The Special Affairs Bureau may have recorded some clues, but didn’t realize what they were at the time.”

Bai Li Qing listened attentively, her face growing more serious with each detail Yu Sheng provided. Several times, she seemed ready to speak, but controlled herself. Finally, she couldn’t hold back and asked, “Wait, are you saying that Anka Aila had already descended—just interrupted during the process? Interrupted by what?”

“By a child, with a Fairy Tale Book,” Yu Sheng replied. “I know it sounds unbelievable, but I think the main reason is that Anka Aila was in a very special state at the time, and the child with the Fairy Tale Book simply nudged things along at that ‘critical point.'”

“So, that’s why I need your help to investigate something else: the case of missing children at that Orphanage. The timeline is before the first ‘Fairy Tale’ Otherworld outbreak, and one child went missing along with a Fairy Tale Book.”

Bai Li Qing opened her computer and quickly began editing instructions to send to her subordinates. However, she also glanced at Yu Sheng, offering a reminder: “I should warn you, this data will be hard to find. The missing child and the Fairy Tale Book—those events happened over seventy years ago, with the first ‘Fairy Tale’ outbreak about eighty years ago. The events you mentioned go back even further.”

“Back then, the technology and systems weren’t as advanced as they are today, and the Orphanage… well, its management was quite chaotic.”

Yu Sheng had expected this difficulty, but hearing Bai Li Qing’s words, he couldn’t help but frown. “Chaotic enough that even a missing child wouldn’t have left a record?”

“Theoretically, it shouldn’t be the case,” Bai Li Qing paused her work for a moment and exhaled lightly. “In any case, I hope everything goes smoothly.”
