Chapter 63 Investigation and Settlement
The leadership's encouragement and big pie may not be able to soothe the physical and mental exhaustion caused by working overtime in a foreign country, but paid leave certainly can.
The two unlucky operators walked out of the office with smiles on their faces, leaving Song Cheng sitting behind the desk and taking a long breath, continuing to look at the computer screen with a frown on his face.
At this moment, he noticed that an icon in the corner of the screen suddenly started to flash, and the next second, a video window suddenly appeared on the screen.
A young woman wearing a white skirt and a gray single ponytail appeared in the screen. Her light gray pupils, which seemed to have lost their color, looked into Song Cheng's eyes across the screen: "Are you done?"
A bigger leader is coming.
"Director," Song Cheng sat up straight in an instant, his expression a little tense, "You haven't gotten off work yet?"
"I'm working overtime today," Baili Qing said calmly, her voice as devoid of fluctuations as her faded eyes, "I saw the information just sent from the Archives Department, and I'd like to hear your opinion."
"About that 'Yu Sheng'?" Song Cheng frowned slightly, pondered for a moment and then shook his head, "I think we can't make any judgment now. We need to have a formal contact with the other party to evaluate what kind of person he is.
...individuals. But the difficulty lies in whether to contact according to the standard of 'person' or according to the standard of 'entity'..."
"According to people." Baili Qing said without hesitation.
Song Cheng had some surprise on his face.
"Because his self-perception is that of a 'human being,'" Baili Qing said calmly and patiently, "then regardless of whether he is a human being or not, we must ensure that he still thinks so in the future."
"...maintain the target's self-awareness, right?" Song Cheng was thoughtful, seeming to understand the director's thoughts, "Do you think...once the individual's self-awareness deviates, there may be serious consequences.
as a result of?"
"It's still unclear what the target's abilities are and what impact he will have on the future of the border area, but if there is one more person on the 'human' side, there will be one less person on the 'non-human' side. They are naturally friendly to humans.
It's not common to see an alien entity like this - especially since he's been 'living' in the borderlands a long time ago, so we have to consider this a blessing."
Song Cheng nodded immediately: "Okay, I understand what you mean, Director, then I will arrange a contact plan with 'Yu Sheng'... I will go in person."
Baili Qing on the screen nodded slightly, and then said: "The Council is already aware of the latest appearance of the 'Dark Angel', and it is now basically certain that it is new."
Song Cheng's pupils shrank instantly.
"Are they in the old records?" He subconsciously sat forward, his expression extremely solemn, "Where are the records of other forces?"
"I have inquired with the Algrade Astrology Society and the 'Academy', and the huge eye-shaped dark angel that can cover the sky mentioned in the report has not appeared in their official records. The Hermitage of Bamosa has not yet
"But if there is no echo in the academy's records, then the Bamosa people should not have it either." Bailiqing shook her head, "Although it is not ruled out that there are still some small forces that have come into contact with the dark angel, but... maybe
Not very sexy."
Song Cheng's brows were furrowed to the point of being twisted into knots, and he looked quite anxious.
"This is not good...a new 'angel' without any data records ran away without having time to collect any information, and it is still so large," he muttered, "it can cover the night valley.
The entire sky... Judging from the official information of Night Valley, this thing may have parasitized in that foreign land a long time ago..."
"Yes, high-level camouflage and deep parasitism, so much so that early investigators who entered the valley even believed that the sky there was originally like that, and the name Night Valley came from this," Baili Qing said slowly,
"On a purely physical scale, this new 'dark angel' can probably be ranked in the top three among all known angels."
Song Cheng couldn't help but fell into thinking, and after a brief pondering, he said: "...According to the intelligence collected by my two team members, the demon fox around Yu Sheng who calls himself 'Huli' seems to have been trapped in the night valley for a long time. She
Maybe you know something about the 'Obscure Angel'?"
"This is a breakthrough, but you need to be cautious when investigating."
Song Cheng lowered his head slightly: "I understand."
Baili Qing hummed and seemed ready to hang up the video.
But Song Cheng suddenly spoke: "By the way, Director, there is something else."
"explain."
"...I'm going to take a 'train'," Song Cheng said with a serious expression, "see if I can find out anything related to 'Yu Sheng' on the 'train'."
"... Approved - but be careful. Even if you are a relatively sane and friendly entity, you must be careful when contacting it."
"clear."
…
Yu Sheng, who was helping Hu Li make the bed, suddenly sneezed several times, frightening Irene who was walking on the balance beam with her hands open on the end of the bed and almost fell off.
"You scared me!" the little doll stared.
"It's an itchy nose," Yu Sheng rubbed his nose, grabbed Irene and threw it on the bed, "Don't just watch, come and help - sit in the middle of the bed, and I'll stretch the sheets."
Irene yelled, happily ran to the middle of the bed and sat cross-legged, looking up at Yu Sheng busy beside her.
Hu Li stood further away, watching helplessly as her "benefactor" helped her make the bed.
"My benefactor...I can help, too," the fox girl rubbed her hands, her tail wagging uneasily behind her, "It's very simple to clean up the room, I've learned it!"
"Then you can clean up the room by yourself. It's better to say goodbye today," Yu Sheng said without raising his head, "I'm almost done with it."
Hu Li snorted, suppressed the uneasy feeling in his heart due to being taken care of, and looked at his new room carefully and curiously.
This is the room on the second floor that was originally filled with a lot of debris, but now the cardboard boxes containing the debris have been cleared into the basement. After a simple cleaning, the place has been restored to a habitable state - but said
It is habitable, but in fact the furnishings in the room are still very simple. Apart from the bed and a table that were originally in the room but had been piled with things, the only formal "furniture" in the room is a piece of furniture in the corner.
A chair.
For this reason, Yu Sheng just found a folding wardrobe from the basement. After studying it with Irene for a long time, he combined the iron pipes and canvas and placed them in the corner to serve as the fourth piece of furniture here.
But Hu Li had no clothes to put in now - she had almost no belongings, only the tattered "skirt" she brought from the valley, but it was almost a ball of rags, and she was reluctant to throw it away.
After cleaning it, she reluctantly folded it up and placed it at the bottom of that ugly folding wardrobe. It was considered her first belonging in this "home".
However, even such a simple and somewhat shabby cabin made her extremely happy.
She could sleep on the bed. She lay down just now and it felt more comfortable than the softest and flatest haystack. There was a complete roof above her head and walls to block the wind - it was warm in the room, unlike in the valley.
It's cold everywhere, you don't have to hold your tail when you sleep, it's warm, and there's a bright electric light, brighter than a fox fire.
And the most important thing - no matter what you do here, you won't attract the monster. If you are hungry, you can always find something to eat.
Now there is a lot of food in the tail.
Hu Li sat down on the floor with a happy smile on his face.
After Yu Sheng finished laying the sheets, he turned around and saw the giggling demon fox on the ground: "Why are you sitting on the ground again? There is a chair next to you - what are you giggling at?"
Hu Li made a sound, stood up from the ground, and sat on a chair nearby: "Happy."
"That's why I'm happy." Yu Sheng nodded, then straightened up and looked around with a slight sense of accomplishment.
The room was sparsely furnished, but it took a lot of effort to clean it up. It was the result of more than two hours of work.
——But it’s still a bit too simple.
"I'll go to the mall tomorrow to buy you a replacement four-piece bed set, and two more sets of clothes. The curtains can be replaced with new ones later, but this one has holes... I'll just use this for the wardrobe temporarily and buy a new one.
It's quite expensive, and money is tight lately," Yu Sheng planned, "Well, I can also get a bedside table and a table lamp in the future."
"No, we don't need so many things," Hu Li hurriedly waved his hands and said a little helplessly, "It's fine now."
"Don't worry, they are all daily things, you have to have everything you should have," Yu Shenghun waved his hand nonchalantly, "You are going to be my number one thug after all, and the conditions cannot be worse."
Irene, who was sitting in the middle of the bed, raised her head when she heard this and glanced at Yu Sheng: "Before you think about buying furniture, you should first think about how to have the furniture delivered to you, you 'No. 66 Wutong Road'——
It seems that there is no need to count on the new TV, it will definitely not be delivered, or...are you planning to open a 'big' door and move a bunch of furniture to your home by yourself?"
Listening to this little doll's words, Yu Sheng's enthusiastic "planning" suddenly cooled down.
His expression also became slightly serious.
Yu Sheng recalled what the two "Secret Service agents" said to him before they left.
...Yes, delivery is still a problem, after all——
