Dimensional Hotel

Chapter 203: Sanctuary of the Mind


Yu Sheng set up this "First Door" at the end of the platform's central axis, after which he raised a wall behind the door. Then, he created two rows of tall pillars in front of the door and constructed a smaller platform between the pillars with rocks, which was considered the initial "decoration" of the place.

Although it was still in its infancy, this place at least had the look of a base camp for the "travel agency".

After finishing these tasks, Yu Sheng originally intended to go to the crash point of the "Immortal Shuttle" in the deepest part of the valley. He remembered previously discussing with Baili Qing about getting a team of Special Service Bureau experts to investigate. However, the time taken to build the teleportation gate was longer than he expected, so he had to temporarily postpone this matter.

Now it was time to check that piece of wasteland and confirm whether the "Mind Sanctuary" was as effective as planned.

Entering the dream, sinking down, consciousness passed through the shadowy curtain of that hazy zone. Yu Sheng felt increasingly adept at voluntarily entering the "wasteland" on his own. Now he almost didn't need Erin's help with "hypnosis" and "guidance" to willingly sink into the wasteland in the dream. When he opened his eyes on the other side of the curtain, what he saw was the dim and gloomy sky of the endless wasteland and the boundless wilderness.

Yu Sheng took a light breath and moved forward on this vast wasteland following a sense of direction. The figures of Erin and Hu Li entered this "Consciousness Space" shortly after a brief delay. They walked forward together, and it wasn't long before they saw two familiar figures in their field of vision.

Little Red Riding Hood was resting on the grass with her wolf pack beside her. Standing next to her was the slender Snow White, and not far away, the huge phantom of the Thunder Titan was gradually dissipating in the air.

As Yu Sheng approached, he heard Little Red Riding Hood mumbling again about "sneak attack", "almost won", and "no martial virtue" and so on.

"Didn't win again, huh?" Yu Sheng came up behind the girl and laughed, "Got beaten up pretty badly?"

"If I had won, I wouldn't be here," Little Red Riding Hood looked up at Yu Sheng annoyed, then lay back on the grass, "I'm so pissed, I had everything under control, but something suddenly came out from under my feet, I panicked, and when I panicked, things went wrong… so annoying."

The girl in red JK kept mumbling, still visibly upset. The slender Snow White stood beside her helplessly, after listening to a long complaint, she sighed, "You're doing well enough, I got beaten way worse than you—Bronze Titan and Ice Titan were almost killed by that crazy old woman."

Little Red Riding Hood pouted and suddenly sat up, "Next time I will try a new tactic..."

Snow White: "You said that last time too."

Yu Sheng listened silently on the side, without interrupting, but a subtle expression gradually appeared on his face.

Little Red Riding Hood finally noticed this. She stopped and curiously looked at Yu Sheng, frowning, "Your expression is weird… is there something wrong with me?"

"Two things," Yu Sheng was startled out of his thoughts, his eyes landed on her, "First, your mindset has changed, did you notice? Your fear of the Black Forest is decreasing."

Little Red Riding Hood was stunned for a moment, then seemed to realize something belatedly, looking down and pondering to herself.

"Seems so… yeah," she muttered to herself and after a while, whispered, "Is this what it feels like to have confidence?"

Understanding the changes in herself, Little Red Riding Hood suddenly laughed.

"Feels pretty good," she said with a smile, looking up at Yu Sheng, "So, what's the second thing?"

"Second thing, did you see the squirrel this time?"

"Squirrel?" Little Red Riding Hood raised her eyebrow, seemingly unsure why Yu Sheng brought this up. Then her expression turned puzzled, "Now that you mentioned it… I did see it, but it seemed strange this time, very distracted, didn't answer any questions, just told me 'you will know', no idea what's going on."

It seemed like the squirrel didn't mention the truth of those past events to Little Red Riding Hood voluntarily.

Yu Sheng exhaled lightly, not surprised by this.

At this moment, he sensed something and immediately looked into the distance.

The next second, he saw a huge shadow suddenly appear in the sky over the wilderness, an upside-down and broken spire appeared abruptly, constantly cracking. Within the phantom of the crumbling spire, golden hair was growing crazily but breaking down and receding. Numerous vague monsters roared and vanished deep into the rift of the broken spire. Then, a slender figure with golden hair all around her fell from the dissipating shadows. As she kept falling, the flowing golden hair quickly lost its magic, turning into black strands.

Immediately after, a sharp screech tore through the sky. A pumpkin carriage, gradually disintegrating, rushed out from the chaotic Space Rift. It caught the falling long-haired figure. Behind the pumpkin carriage, hot fragments and smoke spewed out as it swerved like an out-of-control airship and plummeted toward the ground.

Endless blooming roses surged from the ground like an inverted gushing fountain, cushioning the dangerous "landing". From inside the pumpkin carriage came a girl's exclamation, "Ahhh thorns! Thorns! Sleeping Beauty, you didn't have to catch me... ow ow ow thorns!"

In the next instant, before Yu Sheng could react, a sharp sound of space tearing shook the wilderness again. He saw an explosion erupt in the center of the rose bush, and a burning, bizarre-looking warplane shot out from the bushes, then instantly crashed into the nearby wasteland. Smoke quickly filled the air, and a girl dressed in a strange commander's uniform crawled out from the bush, angrily yelling into a walkie-talkie: "Scarecrow! Move your machine gun position 50 meters to the left! The Witch Division is charging!"

Yu Sheng stared in shock as the commander girl crawled out of the rose bushes, and as the two of them exchanged dazed looks, smoke rose from the distance, and the sky over the wilderness was lit by dragon fire. A red dragon pierced through the clouds with a sorrowful wail, crashing clumsily to the ground in the distance.

Where the red dragon fell, a huge beanstalk sprouted, winding and burning in a sea of flames. Amid the illusory flames came the wild laughter of a girl—

"Hahahahaha—Today! All of you! Must meet your great-grandmother! As I said!"

Then the laughing girl was kicked off the beanstalk by a mighty figure in medieval plate armor, who shouted as he kicked: "For the glory of the King!"

Yu Sheng vaguely saw that the emblem on the shield of the medieval plate-armored man was a cat's head…

For a moment, the scene was extremely lively.

Erin floated beside Yu Sheng's head, exclaiming nonstop since earlier, letting out a "wow" every few seconds. Even Hu Li, who usually accepted everything, was wide-eyed, staring at the scene with Yu Sheng, before finally clapping her hands hard and spreading her tail like a peacock: "Wow—so lively!"

She was actually quite happy.

It wasn't clear how long the sudden "liveliness" lasted before it finally started to quiet down. Although rifts occasionally appeared suddenly, and some unlucky person who lost in a nightmare fell into the wilderness in various strange forms, at least they weren't gathering anymore—the raging flames gradually died down, the rose bushes covering the wilderness withered like a dream, the smoke dispersed from the sky, and the fallen red dragon turned into an illusory mist. The members of "Fairy Tales" began to understand the situation, hastily retracting their out-of-control powers in a flurry, while each confirming their own or each other's conditions before gathering towards Yu Sheng.

As the oldest one among them, Little Red Riding Hood naturally took on the task of maintaining order and explaining the situation.

As for Yu Sheng, he was already numb at this point.

He admitted that his imagination was still somewhat lacking—even after experiencing the ordeal with Snow White and the seven Thunderbolt Titans, the impact of the entire "Fairy Tales" organization dropping in together was somewhat beyond his imagination.

After holding it in for a while, he couldn't help but mumble to Snow White beside him: "…Do all your members have this kind of style?"

Snow White apparently didn't get it: "What kind? This seems normal to me."

Yu Sheng: "…"

"Oh, I get what you mean," Snow White finally understood, showing a subtle expression. "Actually, it's not too bad, mainly because they all came in together, so it's a bit chaotic. You see, when you met Little Red Riding Hood alone, you could adapt pretty well, right?"

Yu Sheng was silent for a while, then raised his hand, pointing at the black-haired girl in the commander uniform, with bandages around her head, surrounded by several guard drones, resting solemnly: "…That one, Dorothy?"

"Yes."

"What's her 'Subset' like?"

"In the war-torn Oz Kingdom, Dorothy's rebel army is engaged in a protracted war against the evil Witch Division…"

"And the one with the spikes all over her head is…"

"Cinderella—Subset 'Eternal Ball,' needs to break through with a pumpkin carriage after midnight every day. The good news is her carriage can fly, the bad news is the Prince has set up anti-air positions around the castle."

"The blonde one earlier… oh, I've seen her before, long-haired princess, right? I didn't recognize her at first because she usually had black hair when I saw her before."

"Yes, long-haired princess, Subset 'Tower,' with random demons appearing on the tower's floors—her situation is actually not too bad, she just needs to fight demons in the tower, the setting is quite straightforward."

Yu Sheng didn't say a word.

He just sat expressionlessly on the grass, raising his head to a 45-degree angle, looking up at the sky, waiting to see if any new "princess" or "prince" would fall from above…
