Chapter 194 Angel Umbilical Cord

As soon as the word "umbilical cord" came out of his mouth, Yu Sheng noticed that the expression on Little Red Riding Hood's face was a bit weird to the naked eye. Then, she frowned slightly: "I always feel that this is not the first time I heard this word."

"It was first when I went to the Secret Service to check the information on the "Adult" operation seventy years ago." Yu Sheng nodded slightly, with a very serious expression. "I mentioned it to you after I came back. It was recorded in the information at that time , one of the deep divers who returned to the real world kept repeating the words "baby's cry" and "umbilical cord" before he died.

Little Red Riding Hood took a breath.

Yu Sheng couldn't help but focus on the "umbilical cord" in the box again.

""""--Why does Lao Zheng have this thing in his hand? What is this so-called "umbilical cord" all about? Whose umbilical cord is it? What is the connection with "fairy tale"?

The answer seemed to be vaguely emerging. Yu Sheng frowned, trying to piece together those vague and trivial clues and ideas into a complete link. While thinking, he hesitated and said: "If this 'umbilical cord' is really related to that... The dark angel trapped in the "fairy tale" is related——

Little Red Riding Hood took another breath unconsciously: "What you said is a bit scary."

Then she paused before continuing uncertainly: "The key is - Lao Zheng is just an 'ordinary person' who studies the collection of rare objects. At most, he knows some small means to protect himself in the face of extraordinary power.' "Angel Umbilical Cord" would be a bit explosive if placed in the Secret Service. How could it fall into his hands? "

Yu Sheng didn't speak for a while, but he couldn't help but recall the "spiritual ring" he saw in Lao Zheng's bedroom before, and what he saw after touching the psychic ring. Black tentacles emerged from the cracks in the ceiling.

The tentacle was swinging around in the air, as if it was always looking for something.

While thinking, he hesitated and spoke: "If Lao Zheng didn't 'find' this umbilical cord somewhere,

But was it given to him by the Dark Angel on his own initiative? "

Little Red Riding Hood frowned tightly. She understood the meaning of Yu Sheng's words, and then her expression became more and more weird. Gradually, this weird expression turned into a helpless and complicated smile. She just smiled bitterly, He muttered: "Old Zheng—Old Zheng——"

She raised her head and looked at Yu Sheng next to her with a bitter smile: "Do you still remember those 'psychic' runes left by Lao Zheng? They are rough and crude, and can be considered poor craftsmanship in the hands of a newbie, but he uses those The runes easily connected with those "obscure angels" that the cultists might not be able to see even with all their efforts, and now there is still this umbilical cord... Do you know how ironic this is?

"Those angel believers regarded Lao Zheng as a disposable tool, and even killed Lao Zheng because they thought that Lao Zheng would "tarnish" their Lord. In fact, according to their theory, Lao Zheng might be the real one. It is the divine choice of 'Ancaela' - at least in terms of 'distance' to that dark angel, he is closer than every cultist. "

"For ordinary people, it is not a good thing to be born with a close connection with a dark angel," Yu Sheng sighed and closed the box, "What those angel believers desperately pursue is something that normal people avoid. "

"We took this thing away," Little Red Riding Hood nodded to Lao Zheng's nephew, "If you find anything else suspicious in your uncle's belongings, please contact us as soon as possible."

Then she paused, took out a note pad and a pen from her pocket, wrote an address in a flash and handed it to the other party: "In addition, you may have some nightmares in the past two days, which is caused by exposure to pollution. It is a normal phenomenon after a child's death, but the impact is still shallow, so there will be no sequelae. If you have been haunted by nightmares, go to this address and find a doctor named Lin, and say that "Little Red Riding Hood" introduced you. She can help you."

The young man hurriedly took the note: "Oh, thank you, I'll remember it."

After leaving Lao Zheng's house, Yu Sheng and Little Red Riding Hood did not return directly to the orphanage. Instead, they walked slowly on a secluded path near the apartment building.

"I will go to the Black Forest again after I go back," Yu Sheng said, while weighing the wooden box in his hand. "When the time comes, I will bring this 'umbilical cord' and the bullet that the hunter shot me last time. , and see what happens.”

".—I always feel that every one of your operations is on the taboo line of the spiritual world detective industry," Little Red Riding Hood couldn't help rolling her eyes, "Do you know how many safety rules you violated in just one sentence? If he were an ordinary detective in the spirit world, he would have died many times due to this habit."

Yu Sheng laughed and said, "I am an extraordinary detective in the spirit world and I have died several times."

Little Red Riding Hood slapped her head: "...----Okay, I forgot about this."

Yu Sheng smiled, took a long breath, and looked up at the sky: "Okay, we're done here. It's time to go back to your homes. Can I take you back first?"

"No need, my wolf pack and I will take the shadow shortcut back. We can just run around on the way to relax."

"Okay, then I'll go home first. Please pay attention to safety on the way."

"I know, I know, bye one by one."

The illusory door opened in the living room of No. 66 Wutong Road. Yu Sheng stepped through the door and returned home from another city in the blink of an eye.

As soon as he entered the house, he saw three Irenes huddled in front of the computer, one typing away at the keyboard, one holding the mouse and leaving an afterimage, and another staring at the small map. Not far away, Hu Li was hanging the tails he had just washed one by one on the clothes drying rack on the balcony. The neatly arranged silver-white fox tails sparkled in the sun.

Seeing this familiar and ordinary daily scene, Yu Sheng couldn't help but relax. He casually hung his coat on the hanger near the entrance and shouted to the busy dolls and foxes: "I'm back."

"My benefactor is back!" Hu Li was the first to run over happily, and quickly circled around Yu Sheng several times, "Is everything going well?"

"It's going well, it's going well," Yu Sheng was dizzy by this fox girl, and had to reach out to hold her down first, then took a look at the pile of tails that she hung on the balcony, "-----By the way, you often wash your tails recently, and every time it's a big deal."

Hu Li said seriously: "In winter, it's cold and dry, you have to pay attention to the maintenance of the tail, and after washing and drying, it will be fluffy, and it's very comfortable to hug when sleeping!"

Yu Sheng actually couldn't understand it. After all, if Hu Li's tails were well maintained, she would just fire a round of missiles the next time she fought, and she could grow new tails at any time to replace them. Is it really necessary to maintain them?

But seeing the happy and serious look on the fox girl's face, he decided not to ask. Cyber ​​fox fairy is probably like this. At this time, Irene (one of them) also came over. She looked up at Yu Sheng and asked curiously: "What are you holding in your hand?" Yu Sheng weighed the wooden box in his hand, and his expression became serious: "If I'm not mistaken, it should be the umbilical cord of the dark angel." As soon as he said this, the three Ires were stunned. The sound of being killed came from the computer on the coffee table. "Oh my god---" The two Ires in front of the computer exclaimed and quickly tapped the keyboard, taking advantage of the few seconds of waiting for resurrection to output the family of the game planner. Irene standing in front of Yu Sheng took a half step back in an exaggerated manner: "What?! What did you bring home?!" Yu Sheng bent down and opened the wooden box to show Irene. "This was found in Lao Zheng's belongings. Before I came back, I went to his nephew's place again," he explained the origin of this thing, "I suspect that Lao Zheng actually has a strong connection with the dark angel trapped in the 'fairy tale', and he probably doesn't completely trust those angel believers, so after getting this umbilical cord in a certain ceremony, he hid it. Now, this thing may be the key to solving the mystery of the dark angel 'Ankaela'."

After seeing the dried umbilical cord in the box, Irene subconsciously stepped back. She was not actually affected by mental pollution, but instinctively felt that this thing was a bit disgusting. After hearing Yu Sheng's explanation, she couldn't help showing a suspicious look on her face, and looked at Yu Sheng with a strange look: "You won't use it to soak in wine, right?"

Yu Sheng: "...——?"

When Irene saw that the other party was silent, the expression on her face suddenly became more complicated: ".. ——-You won't use it to soak in wine, right? "

"Is this the impression you have of me? I eat everything?" Yu Sheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I want to take this thing into the Black Forest to see how the 'subset' of fairy tales will react to this angel's umbilical cord. It would be best if I could use this opportunity to figure out what the 'Ankaela' is like. It would be even better if I could find its weakness."

Erin listened to Yu Sheng's "plan" blankly, frowning: "Why don't you just use it to soak in wine?"

Yu Sheng: "Is my plan so unreliable?"

"It's not a question of reliability," Erin's expression suddenly became serious, and she said very seriously, "but have you ever thought about another possibility - what if you bring this 'angel's umbilical cord' into the Black Forest, and the dark angel wakes up or escapes faster? After all, it's this kind of thing."

Yu Sheng frowned.

"Indeed, there are risks in this regard, so we must be prepared to 'cut' the umbilical cord at any time," he said slowly and seriously, "but no matter what, we have to give it a try. We really don't know enough about the dark angel 'Ankaela'."

Erin felt relieved when she saw Yu Sheng's serious look, but she still asked subconsciously: "The plan is good, but are you sure you can cut off the 'connection' between the umbilical cord and the outside world at any time? You should know nothing about sealing--."

Yu Sheng thought about it and said seriously: "If it doesn't work, I will eat it on the spot."

The little doll was stunned for a moment.

A few seconds later, she jumped up on the spot: "---So you still have to eat it in the end!?"
