Yu Sheng was not surprised by Little Red Riding Hood's response, as he himself had no idea either.

Instinctively, he certainly felt that the two matters were connected. After all, Little Red Riding Hood and Old Zheng both had entanglements with the Exotic Realm of "Fairy Tales," and those Angel Sect believers had targeted both of them. The sacrifice in the white hall was clearly a carefully arranged "ritual," and its specific targeting was obvious.

But as Little Red Riding Hood said, there was still a crucial connection missing between these two matters, which was the purpose of the Angel Sect believers——the sacrifice must be for something, right? They chose Little Red Riding Hood as a target, there had to be a reason, right?

Out of the blue, Yu Sheng suddenly recalled something. During his exchange with the sacrificial victim in the white hall, he heard a detail from the other party's mouth.

That detail was what the two Angel Sect believers kept repeating when performing the ritual——

"Save the Savior from suffering..."

Little Red Riding Hood heard Yu Sheng's mumbling and instinctively turned her head, "What did you say?"

"The purpose of the Angel Sect believers, 'Save the Savior from suffering.' You should still remember this phrase, and also 'Assist His descent,'" Yu Sheng said, "Isn't it possible that some characteristics of the Exotic Realm of 'Fairy Tales' can help a 'Dark Angel' who is trapped somewhere break free from their restraints? Or maybe... the Exotic Realm of 'Fairy Tales' as a whole is just a 'sacrifice' to facilitate the Dark Angel's descent?"

Little Red Riding Hood's eyes widened slightly.

"Just a thought. I will also mention it to the Special Service Bureau when I go there," Yu Sheng said slowly, "In any case, now there is another reason to deal with the Exotic Realm of 'Fairy Tales.'

Little Red Riding Hood nodded.

It was time to go back.

The children at the orphanage were still waiting for their parents, and Yu Sheng had to go back and check if the puppet and fox at home had caused any trouble.

"Do you need me to take you back?" Little Red Riding Hood turned around, the wolf pack faintly moving beside her.

"No need, I'll just open the door and go," Yu Sheng waved his hand. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something, "By the way, I forgot to tell you——Xiao Xiao also entered my 'Dream Realm.'

Little Red Riding Hood, who was about to ride away on the wolf, stopped in her tracks, looking at Yu Sheng in confusion. It took two or three seconds for her to realize what was going on, "You mean that gray wasteland?!"

"Yes," Yu Sheng nodded, "It was at noon. She said she fell into the Black Forest during her nap. While being chased by a wolf, she somehow escaped to that wasteland. I stayed with her for a while. The little girl was not scared—from the end result, she even avoided an erosion from the Black Forest, which was a good thing."

Little Red Riding Hood blinked, her expression thoughtful, "Now that you mention it, Xiao Xiao had indeed woken up before I left. She was enthusiastically telling her friends about some weird dream she had, but I was in a hurry to set off, so I didn't pay much attention."

"Do you remember the situation when you entered that wasteland?" Yu Sheng asked curiously.

Little Red Riding Hood frowned, recalling seriously, "It seems that I also entered the wasteland when I entered the Black Forest. I encountered the wolf pack and was about to hide, but after taking two steps, I suddenly felt dazed, my feet slipped, and I found myself standing on an unfamiliar grassy field."

The two looked at each other, then fell into their respective thoughts.

...

A phantom door opened out of nowhere, and Yu Sheng stepped out from it.

As soon as his foot touched the floor of his house, he heard Hu Li's happy yet muffled voice coming from beside him, "Savior, you're back!"

Yu Sheng looked in the direction of the voice, and saw Hu Li sitting at the dining table beside him, twirling noodles with chopsticks as if they were a chicken drumstick, with sauce covering her face.

Immediately afterwards, Erin's voice came from behind him, "How did it go? Did things go smoothly? Did you discover any new clues after I left?"

Yu Sheng turned around and saw three Erins sitting together at the coffee table. Two Erins were lying in front of the computer, one typing on the keyboard and the other holding the mouse with both hands, their coordinated operation aggressive and intense. The remaining Erin raised her head, curiously looking this way.

"Old Zheng's matter is quite complicated. I'll tell you in detail later," Yu Sheng said casually to the little puppet while hanging his coat on the rack. Then he went to wipe Hu Li's face, and as soon as he started, he frowned, "Have you been wiping your mouth with your tail again?"

"Savior, how did you find out?"

"Nonsense! The tip of your tail is covered in sauce!"

"...Hehe." Hu Li chuckled awkwardly. Then she pulled off her dirty tail and ran to toss it into the washing machine in the bathroom.

Yu Sheng stared in bewilderment, "...Your tail can be washed in the washing machine?!"

"Sure," Hu Li said matter-of-factly, "Is a tail such an inconvenient thing?"

Yu Sheng's eye twitched, seemingly finally understanding why recently there were always fox fur strands on the newly washed laundry...

But he was already used to such strange situations, so he mumbled a few words casually and then said to the puppet and the demon fox, "Alright, those who are eating or playing games, stop for a moment, I have something to say."

"I don't need to stop, I've allocated a body specifically to listen," Erin, who was carrying a picture frame, jumped off the coffee table and ran to Yu Sheng, looking up, "What's the matter?"

"I might have found a temporary way to protect Little Red Riding Hood and the other kids in the orphanage from the influence of the Fairy Tales," Yu Sheng said seriously, and then thought about it, adjusting his words, "Or rather, I found a way for them to 'take emergency refuge' when they are 'corrupted'. Although it's still just a thought."

Upon hearing this, Erin immediately looked surprised: "Huh? What way?"

"Do you remember that Xiao Xiao also entered my 'Dream Realm'?" Yu Sheng sat down next to Hu Li, speaking earnestly, "Just now, I checked with Little Red Riding Hood, and found that she also 'frequency-hopped' into that wilderness when she entered the Black Forest and was chased by wolves. Relating this to the time when Hu Li also suddenly appeared in that wilderness when she was hungrily corroded to a dangerous stage, I now have a bold hypothesis..."

Before he could finish, Erin had already reacted: "So you're saying that individuals who establish a 'connection' with you and gain 'access' to that wilderness will have their consciousness passively enter that wilderness to 'take refuge' when they encounter fatal danger?"

"It's just a hypothesis at the moment," Yu Sheng nodded, but he was still very cautious in his words, "the specific activation mechanism and 'effectiveness' need to be verified, but for now, Hu Li, Little Red Riding Hood, and Xiao Xiao entered that wilderness under similar logic."

Hu Li also reacted at this time, looking curiously at Yu Sheng: "So Savior, you mean..."

"We currently have no way to solve the entire 'Fairy Tale' Exotic Realm, but if we can protect the children affected by the Fairy Tales for the time being, that's also a huge progress," Yu Sheng said, "and even if it fails, there won't be any losses—at most I'll have to drink two more bowls of brown sugar water when I come back..."

Yu Sheng's last words left Erin speechless, the little puppet muttering: "Two bowls might not be enough, you might as well 'sleep' for half an hour."

Yu Sheng waved his hand: "These are small issues."

"Alright, small issues, now let's talk about the big ones," Erin glanced at Yu Sheng, "How do you plan to 'execute' this?"

"Execute?" Yu Sheng was stunned, "How else to execute, just the simplest way, let them come into contact with my blood..."

Erin immediately looked at Yu Sheng as if he were an idiot: "You mean, you'll gather dozens of minors, possibly have them form a circle for efficiency, then you walk around the circle bleeding, and smear the blood on the children... right?"

Yu Sheng still didn't react, looking confused at the puppet: "What's the problem with that?"

Erin: "Visualize it again?"

Yu Sheng started to catch on a bit and frowned, starting to ponder.

Next to him, Hu Li patted his arm with her tail: "Savior, in our place, even legitimate Witch Blood Techniques are not done like this, usually it's the Evil Cultivators who do it this way—they'd get arrested by the Security Immortals halfway through, and at least sentenced to over three hundred years."

Yu Sheng finally got it, but his expression became a bit dull: "This does sound a bit off, the children in the orphanage might agree, but those security personnel sent by the Council would probably report me..."

"So we need to come up with a more normal way," Erin spread her hands, "at least not something that looks so evil."

Yu Sheng continued to frown and ponder hard.

He thought for a long time, and suddenly had a blank flash of inspiration.

"How about this, gathering the kids and applying blood one by one might not be suitable—then how about gathering them to eat duck blood spicy soup?"

Erin blinked in a daze.

A moment later, the puppet girl, reacting, jumped up: "I have a feeling this is even more TM evil!"

Yu Sheng pouted, then turned to look at the fox girl beside him: "What do you think?"

Hu Li was just staring blankly at Yu Sheng, and two seconds later, drool started coming down: "Savior, can I taste it first?"

Erin, dumbfounded, looked at the two of them in front of her, and as the self-proclaimed peak of normal three viewpoints at No. 66 Wutong Road, she felt this thing seemed a bit too explosive.

Although, explosive things in this house weren't rare to begin with.

Luckily, before the little puppet jumped up again, Yu Sheng suddenly patted his head: "Wait, we need to think long-term, duck blood spicy soup might not work either."

Erin immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "I knew it, you..."

Yu Sheng: "Maybe kids can't handle spicy."

Erin: "...What's wrong with you!!"
