Chapter 204: The First Gathering of the Sheltering Wasteland

Finally, no more princes or princesses fell from the sky, and no other strange things fell from the sky.

Yu Sheng silently withdrew his gaze to the sky and looked at the figures in the open space in front of him who had calmed down and were resting quietly or talking in low voices.

And around them, the land that was once covered by rose bushes, gunfire smoke, blazing flames and the like has completely returned to its original appearance in the wilderness. Those things that briefly spread from the nightmare have not been able to "shelter" here. What traces are left in the place?

A high-spirited civet cat was walking through the crowd with its chest raised and its head raised, checking the surroundings as if on patrol. There were also several people wearing armors, robes, and leather armors, holding various weapons. The "guard" of the weapon nodded when it came to Yu Sheng's side, and rubbed its head against Yu Sheng's leg: "Well, I'm very satisfied, meow."

Yu Sheng couldn't help but glance at the few guards following the "King". He saw that these "entourages" dressed like a team of adventurers in standard stories looked like human beings at first glance, but their expressions were slightly stiff. When he When they looked at him, these "adventurers" would even nod to him with serious faces.

"We are the king's sharp blade!" The "warrior" wearing medieval plate armor said suddenly with great anger.

Irene was startled, and then whispered: "...It looks like a living person."

"We are the king's sharp blades!" When the "female archer" wearing leather armor heard Irene's muttering, she suddenly shouted out loud and slightly dull.

The fluff on Hu Li's ears popped up slightly, and he stepped back from Yu Sheng, greeting these "guards" summoned by the king: "Um... hello."

"Hello!" shouted the "magician" in a robe, "we are the king's sword!"

They co-wrote just a few lines.

The Cat King left with his "Adventurer Guards" in high spirits and continued to patrol the place in the wilderness. Yu Sheng heard footsteps behind him and looked back. It turned out that it was Little Red Riding Hood who had left. come over.

"The 'King' will summon different guards. Adventurers are just one of the combinations. Sometimes it will also summon the Royal Guards or the Imperial Knights, both of which are very capable of fighting." Little Red Riding Hood said casually, looking at the civet cat who had walked away. Huisheng explained, "As for how many specific combinations there are, it doesn't even seem to be able to explain it itself - the most meaningless combination I have ever seen is that it can summon several old men in one breath who look like they are about to die of old age..."

Yu Sheng was confused when he heard this: "Ah? Summoning a few old men? What's the use of that?"

"It's the 'Ning Chen' who can use a near-universal wishing machine to satisfy the 'King's' request within a certain period of time."

Yu Sheng was dumbfounded: "...fuck, that's awesome."

"But the 'King' would just ask the naughty minister to conjure a lot of small dried fish for it, and then drive them back."

"...Fuck, that's even more awesome."

"Now do you feel that the abilities of us people are actually quite interesting?" Little Red Riding Hood showed a weird smile, and looked at the resting companions with Yu Sheng, and said slowly, "Even I am the first It was a bit...unexpectedly confusing to see them land in the same place in this way."

Yu Sheng was silent for a few seconds, not knowing what to say.

If you don't consider the danger and corrosive power behind all this, "fairy tale"... is indeed quite a fairy tale.

"Come here, as the 'owner' here, it's your turn to show up," Little Red Riding Hood smiled and patted Yu Sheng's arm, then dragged him towards the others, "Everyone is waiting for you."

Yu Sheng walked over, and the boys and girls gathered on the grass immediately became quiet. Their eyes turned one after another. The members of "Fairy Tale" stood up one after another and bowed politely and silently to express their thanks. Even the eternally proud bird The full-fledged civet cat came quietly among the people at some point and bowed its head to say hello.

"Um, hello, everyone," Yu Sheng was a little nervous for a moment. Although the people in front of him were a group of "children" who were sixteen or seventeen years old or even younger (except for the cat), when those eyes were focused on him, At that time, he actually felt a little stuck, because this time, those people who gathered together The focus in his eyes was obviously more intense than the last time we met, "...I won't introduce you much, anyway, you all know me. In short, this place is the 'Asylum Wasteland' I told you ', you're safe, just rest. That's it."

A circle of older children laughed, and some clapped randomly.

This was the first gathering of the "Fairy Tale" organization in this sheltered wasteland.

Yu Sheng stepped back and sat on the ground with Little Red Riding Hood. The latter couldn't help but murmured: "Your opening remarks are really bad."

"I'm not good at this," Yu Sheng said casually, while scanning his surroundings, "People are not perfect, right?"

Little Red Riding Hood nodded: "Well, not counting the 'King', there are currently a total of sixteen parents in 'Fairy Tale', and there are only nine of them here now."

"Others..."

"Some are still on night watch in the real world, some may not have fallen asleep today, and some...probably won the battle today," Little Red Riding Hood explained in a low voice, "The specific situation will not be confirmed until tomorrow morning in person. You’ll have to ask to know for sure, but there’s no need to worry.”

Yu Sheng nodded thoughtfully, while Irene floated in the air and suddenly said: "Can we still win?"

"Of course we can!" Little Red Riding Hood said immediately, "We don't have to be chased and beaten every time we enter a nightmare. There will also be times when we have the upper hand. Although basically in the later stages, the power of nightmares will be overwhelmingly powerful - But even at this stage, I still win sometimes!”

Erin thought for a while, and the picture frame shook in mid-air: "Oh... I've never seen you win."

The veins on Little Red Riding Hood's forehead jumped instantly.

Seeing this, Yu Sheng quickly advised: "Don't pay attention to her, she has a way of making people angry."

Then before a puppet beeped again, he immediately changed the topic: "Okay, now that we have confirmed that the asylum plan is effective, it's time to talk about something serious - I have to tell you something about that squirrel. Yes, and the dark angel named 'Ankaela'."

Upon hearing this, Little Red Riding Hood's expression instantly became serious - even Irene, who was preparing for the next real injury, immediately landed on the ground obediently, standing between Yusheng and Little Red Riding Hood like a portrait, with a serious look on her face.

Yu Sheng didn't hold back, and directly told all the information he got from Squirrel.

Please...you...collect 6...books...!

In the middle of the sentence, Snow White was attracted and sat aside to listen. Then the "King" also came over, squatting on the grass with a solemn face.

Little Red Riding Hood frowned.

Here, she is the only one who has known the "squirrel" for the longest time and gets along the best.

The squirrel is the guide of every Little Red Riding Hood, and is also the only "friend" of every Little Red Riding Hood in the Black Forest. She has also been curious about this and asked about it, but it was not until today that she finally knew... Why in the Black Forest? There will be a mysterious "squirrel".

At the same time, she also knew how the paths, street lamps, fires and candlelight in the black forest came from.

"Do other 'subsets' have this kind of gradual growth?" Yu Sheng asked curiously.

"Each subset is gradually changing and improving. This is indeed not unique to Black Forest, and the 'intensity' of each subset is the same as the wolves in the Black Forest. It will change with the growth of our 'characters' Growing and gradually improving - Blood-stained Palace That bitch was not that strong from the beginning," Snow White nodded, and then changed the subject, "But 'squirrels' are indeed unique to the Black Forest. In the Bloody Palace or the Eternal Ball, etc. There are no similar individuals on the 'stage'."

Yu Sheng nodded slightly, with a thoughtful look on his face.

After more and more intelligence and clues were gathered, he now felt more and more the specialness of the "Black Forest" among all fairy tales.

"Squirrel" is trapped in the black forest. The "falling point" where the deep-diving team pierced the shell of fairy tales and transformed into "hunters" seventy years ago was also in the black forest. From now on, other "fairy tales" he has come into contact with "From the members' point of view, the "distortion" method of the Black Forest also appears to be very special. The combination of the forest and the wolf is obviously not as outrageous as other "subsets", but shows a vague stability...

This made Yu Sheng a little curious - what caused these "special characteristics" of the black forest?

...could it be related to the "fairy tale book" that Squirrel gave to Ankaela? In that fairy tale book, "Little Red Riding Hood" is a special chapter?

After thinking for a moment, he broke the silence again: "When you go back, search the orphanage carefully, especially the basement and other places, as well as the oldest building structures in the courtyard."

Little Red Riding Hood instantly understood Yu Sheng's intention: "...Do you suspect that the traces left by 'Ancaela' in the real world are still in the orphanage?"

"This possibility cannot be ruled out. Although it has indeed been a long time, and many buildings in the orphanage have been renovated, the traces left by the Obscure Angel will not necessarily fade over time. There are some things... it is difficult to guarantee that they will not be 'marked' 'In this world,' Yu Sheng said while thinking, 'the squirrel recalled that the luminous object once 'integrated' into the open space in the middle of the yard. Little Red Riding Hood, didn't you also see the strange thorns on a wall near the open space before? Shadow? Maybe there is a connection between the two things."

Little Red Riding Hood immediately recalled the suspicious shadows she had seen in the corner of the orphanage before, and her expression became solemn.

"I understand," she nodded with a serious face, "We will organize people to check it when we get back."
