Alien Hotel.

Chapter 340 "Don't Go Out"

"Master, this is the Guanyun Terrace."

A little Taoist boy named Xuanyun led Yu Sheng and his party to a place in the back mountain and pointed to the open platform in front and said.

Yu Sheng looked up and saw a stone path winding out of the mountain, following the mountain terrain straight to a high place. The mountain in front of him was straight as if it had been chopped by a huge blade, and a high platform was built at the place where it was split. The platform was pure white like jade and surrounded by carved railings. Outside the platform was a vast sea of ​​clouds almost at his feet, and the lingering clouds seemed to be faintly connected to the platform.

And everywhere on the high platform's carved railings, one can see jade plates with words on them, such as "Guardrail is dangerous, please do not approach", "Watch your step when viewing the clouds", "Scribble or draw will be fined 100 spirit stones" and other reminders.

Yu Sheng thought about it and felt that this was absolutely reasonable.

But Irene seemed to think that was not reasonable enough, and pointed to the warnings on the railings and asked: "Hey, don't you immortals know how to fly? Why are you so afraid of falling off the mountain?"

Little Xuanyun was stunned, probably because he rarely dealt with outsiders who lacked common sense. He took a while to react before answering, "Ah, only brothers and sisters with higher levels of Taoism can fly with swords or ride the wind. People like me haven't learned that yet..."

Irene blinked and looked at Xuanyun curiously (she was naturally more friendly to smaller humans, such as the doll heads in "Fairy Tale"): "Oh, so what have you learned?"

"...I just learned how to glide with a sword. I can slide down the hillside from here with the help of the wind without getting hurt," Xuanyun answered honestly, "but if I'm caught by my master, I'll be beaten half to death."

Hu Li stroked his chin and commented, "Your learning progress is quite slow. In my hometown, kids your age have already learned to fly with swords. Those who started cram school earlier can fly even faster. They started practicing children's flying swords in the second half of the transition period from kindergarten to primary school..."

"Don't compare the weird situation in your hometown with this place," Irene glanced at the fox girl, "Your hometown is still driving a planet around the world."

Xuan Yun was stunned when he heard this. He asked in a daze, "What are you talking about, Immortal Master?"

"It's hard to explain to you," Yu Sheng laughed and waved to the Taoist boy, "Okay, just send us here, and go back to report to your master."

"okay!"

Xuanyun responded, turned around and ran towards the stone steps, running away in a flash.

Yu Shengze turned his head and looked at the vast sea of ​​clouds in the distance and the several mountains looming in the clouds. He couldn't help but sigh: "The scenery in this place is really amazing."

Irene poked Yu Sheng's head with a finger: "...You are a writer and you only came up with this sentence after being here for so long!?"

“I’m returning to my roots!”

Yu Sheng said casually, put Irene on the ground, then turned and came to the side of the Guanyun Terrace close to the mountain wall, measured a few steps back and forth, found the most suitable place to put it at the door of his house, and stretched his hand into the air.

"I'm going to get the house, you just wait here."

After saying that, he opened the door and walked in.

In a flash, Yu Sheng returned to the living room of No. 66 Wutong Road.

He stood in the familiar living room and blinked. Even though it was his own ability, he couldn't help feeling a little unreal in his trance.

Especially when you see the familiar street scenery outside the living room window, the low old houses nearby, the tall buildings in the distant city background, and the Secret Service "outpost" disguised as an express delivery station at the intersection not far away.

"Oh my god, I forgot to say hello to the staff on duty here again!"

Yu Sheng slapped his head and remembered that he forgot something when he went out. He quickly turned around and said to Irene who was watching TV in the living room: "I'm going to tell the Secret Service agent at the express delivery point that we are moving temporarily. You tell Hu Li and Luna to wait for me!"

The little puppet who was watching over the computer keyboard battle in the restaurant waved his hands impatiently: "I know, I know! I guessed that you definitely didn't report it to them..."

This is what happens when there are too many Irenes. If you take one out, there will be several at home. When you talk to one, there will be a response from the side. If you are not careful, these little things will drill everywhere, always giving people the illusion that there are bugs in life.

Yu Sheng usually relies on his tolerance to adapt to the various discomforts brought about by the increasing number of Irene.

He told Irene in the house not to run around, then pushed the door open and went to the express delivery station set up by the Secret Service not far from his home.

Then I saw two acquaintances walking out the door, apparently to clean the house.

One is Li Lin and the other is Zheng Zhi.

He could at least imagine why the former appeared here, but the latter was completely beyond his expectations.

"Why are you two here?!" Yu Sheng's eyes widened in surprise, looking at the two people in front of him. "Hey, Brother Yu," Li Lin smiled as soon as he saw Yu Sheng, and quickly explained, "Weren't the two people here at the station temporary arrangements? Now they have gone back, and from now on I will officially take over this liaison station - Captain Song said that I am familiar with you and the environment in the old city, so he gave me this job."

Yu Sheng blinked, and his eyes immediately fell on Zheng Zhi: "What about you?"

"...I joined the Secret Service," Zheng Zhi touched his nose and said with a slightly embarrassed smile.

Yu Sheng was stunned for a moment, and then he was shocked. He stared at the highly sensitive and steady team leader in front of him with wide eyes: "You? Join the Secret Service? You join the Secret Service with your physique?!"

Zheng Zhi continued to touch his nose and nodded: "Yes."

"What's your position?" Yu Sheng was shocked. "Detector?! Don't you know that you have high sensitivity and low stability?"

"Alas, that's why," Zheng Zhi sighed and explained helplessly, "Didn't we have the Fog City incident before? Coupled with the Dark Angel incident earlier, the Secret Service noticed my situation. Two experts came and took me for a formal test. The result is..."

He paused for a moment, and Li Lin beside him continued: "Min is too tall."

Yu Sheng: “…”

"In fact, even under normal circumstances, it is difficult for ordinary people to return to normal after being involved in an alien incident. One way is to take medicine and receive training to maintain daily life as much as possible, and the other way is to change jobs to become a spiritual detective or investigator or simply join the Secret Service," Li Lin continued. "Generally speaking, the more spiritually sensitive a person is, the more suitable he is for the second path. Zheng Zhi belongs to the second type. How should I put it... For example, if he were in a horror movie, when the whole scene was still normal at the beginning, he could already see the hidden evil spirits and the ending Easter eggs that would only appear in the second part."

The corner of Yu Sheng's mouth twitched, and he understood. He turned his head and looked at his nephew who was smiling helplessly with sympathy.

"It's impossible to be an ordinary person. According to the experts, spiritual acuity cannot be reduced, but can only increase with contact with abnormal things. So I can only take another path. Cultivating the ability to fight against strange things is also a way - anyway, facing the weird is the same, either you can hide or you can fight," Zheng Zhi sighed, "but I have no experience at all, and my fighting talent is not very good. The Secret Service said that if I change my career and become a spiritual detective or investigator directly, it will easily become a typical case at the end of the year. So they let me follow Brother Li and learn while working."

He paused for a moment and added, "Oh, I've already received basic training before coming here, and I also had a few minor surgeries. They said something was implanted in my brain, which is standard equipment for Secret Service agents. It can enhance some resistance and so on. Basic self-protection is OK. They arranged for the two of us to be on duty here because of my situation - they said it's safer here."

As Yu Sheng listened to the other person talking, his expression became more and more strange. After the other person finished speaking, he hesitated and said, "Well... I was just about to tell you about this. I have something to do here, so I may not be here recently."

Li Lin was stunned when he heard this: "Ah? You're going out?"

"...I'm not going out," Yu Sheng curled his lips, "I have to leave No. 66 Wutong Road for a while."

Li Lin & Zheng Zhi: “……?”

After hearing this, the two normal people stood there for a while and reacted. In the end, Li Lin was the first to react. He remembered the information he got when he took over the job. "Ah, you mean the overall 'transfer' of No. 66 Wutong Road, right? I have heard about it. Where are you going? To the City in the Mist again?"

Yu Sheng: "Go to Qianfeng Lingshan."

Li Lin was stunned for a moment.

At this moment, he had a new understanding of "staying at home" and "going out".

Yu Sheng didn't explain too much, just roughly mentioned that he went there to meet someone and investigate some things related to the cult members. When this reason came out, Li Lin could only look at Zheng Zhi helplessly and sighed together.

"There's nothing we can do about it. The situation has become urgent," Li Lin shook his head. "I'll tell the bureau. But the two of us still have to guard here. After all, even if Wutong Road 66 leaves, this area is still a key defense point."

"How long will it take you to come back?" Zheng Zhize asked curiously.

"It's hard to say," Yu Sheng waved his hand, "but I can come back anytime anyway. If there's any situation in Jiecheng, just call me directly."

"That's true," Li Lin exhaled softly, and a smile reappeared on his face. "Okay, then, go ahead and do your thing. Have a safe trip."

Yu Sheng said goodbye to the two people in front of him and turned back to No. 66 Wutong Road.

Irene was lying on the armrest of the sofa in the living room. When she heard the door open, she raised her head and asked, "Have you explained everything?"

"I've told you everything," Yu Sheng nodded, and calmed himself down before grabbing the door handle of No. 66 Wutong Road again. "Let's go and meet up with Hu Li and Luna."

"And me, and me! Why didn't you just say you'd join me?"

"...Don't use this bug!"
