So that's how the matter was settled.

After that, the staff on the scene quickly found the "carrier" that Yu Sheng required, a door taken from the ruins of an orphanage—a heavy iron double door, one and a half inches thick, three and a half meters wide, incredibly heavy. It was so heavy that an average adult wouldn't be able to push it open in one go. They used a crane to hoist it over, and it stood there like a wall...

Yu Sheng was dumbfounded as he quickly explained to Li Lin that he just wanted the most ordinary door, one that even a grade-schooler could easily push open—certainly not this type of heavy security door that looked like the entrance to some boss's secret base. While it did look cool, the kids wouldn't be able to open it without a support structure...

"Oh, I misunderstood. When I heard it was a Teleportation Gate connecting the valley to reality, I kept imagining those customs gates at the bureau," Li Lin said, scratching his nose in embarrassment. "I even thought if this door wasn't big enough, I'd call Chief Sun over..."

Yu Sheng and Erin spoke in unison, "Spare Chief Sun, please!"

Li Lin waved his hand with an awkward smile and had the crane throw the heavy triple-protection door that was originally in the orphanage basement back into the ruins. Shortly afterward, a decent, normal-looking door was delivered to the open space.

It was an iron door, old and black with red hues, with designs that screamed an aesthetic from at least twenty years ago. It had flowery stickers and was delivered along with its frame to the open space, leaning temporarily against the remaining brick wall.

"Hey, this is the door from the old big office in the East Building!" the long-haired princess recognized it immediately. "That sticker on the door was put there by me!"

Yu Sheng nodded in satisfaction, "This will do—next, we set up the alchemy. Erin, keep an eye on me. I'll try drawing that ritual with the amplification nodes you taught me last time."

As he spoke, he took a piece of chalk and placed Erin on the ground beside him, then began drawing the complex alchemy array with amplification nodes in front of the door.

By the way, the chalk was borrowed from Hu Li—this girl's tail seems to have everything hidden in it. Who knows why she even had a box of chalk in there... Surely it's not for eating, right?

Li Lin stood not far away with wide eyes, watching this scene curiously. After getting consent, he even took out his phone and started recording because he knew that what he was documenting might even end up on the bureau chief's desk. While Yu Sheng might not be aware, this footage could make the tech department colleagues work an extra week.

This was the first close and direct documentation by the Special Service Bureau of the process where "anthropomorphic entity Yu Sheng" opened and solidified a Teleportation Gate onto a real-world carrier.

Li Lin glanced around with his peripheral vision and saw that the Special Service Bureau officers who had been patrolling the perimeter had instinctively gathered nearby. At this moment, all sorts of detection equipment were likely already online, recording any subtle changes happening on this plot of land.

Actually, Li Lin felt somewhat guilty. Although Yu Sheng had said he didn't mind having observers or even photos and recordings, the sight of all these Special Service Bureau officers grouped together with all kinds of detection equipment for live scanning seemed a bit intrusive. He worried Yu Sheng might be displeased—but after watching for a while, he understood why Yu Sheng didn't mind the bureau people observing.

Because he saw that what Yu Sheng was drawing on the ground was just the most basic alchemy spirit injection magic technique, and it was even a simplified version.

Even he knew how to do it—they had taught this foundational stuff during training. Forget field officers; even Ren Wenwen in the office could do it.

At this point, the "auxiliary materials" sent by the Special Service Bureau had arrived as well. Li Lin watched as Yu Sheng picked out a bit from the pile to use on the alchemy array and then tossed the remaining items directly into the fox's tail.

Next, candles were lit at several basic nodes of the rune array. The candle flames flickered in the outdoor environment, but stabilized quickly as various components like crystal dust, essential oil, and tea powder were added.

Hu Li crouched outside the alchemy array, munching on a skewer of grilled mushrooms while watching her Savior draw the array, and the aroma was so tempting that the long-haired princess walked over, "Let me have a taste..."

Hu Li immediately protected the grilled mushrooms in her arms, baring her teeth at the long-haired princess and growling lowly, "Grrr..."

The long-haired princess wasn't angry, because she had teased Hu Li like this at the previous barbecue party, so she just walked away with a grin, "Fine, no need to share if you don't want to."

"Everybody, step back a bit, especially you, silly fox, don't let the oil drip on the line," Erin checked within the alchemy array, giving Yu Sheng occasional pointers. "Hey, Yu Sheng, you missed a line here... Come on, fix it. By the way, technically this part can't be added later, but since you never followed rules with alchemy anyway, it's fine."

The scene couldn't have been further from a "professional atmosphere."

Li Lin couldn't hold it in any longer—although theoretically, no one should interrupt during such a large-scale alchemy ritual, seeing how these folks were not only interrupting but also grilling skewers, he decided to throw theory out the window: "S-so this is how you solidify a Teleportation Gate in reality?"

Yu Sheng lifted his head, "This is just the first step."

Li Lin breathed a sigh of relief, "I knew it, the stuff I learned back then..."

"The second step is just adding the final ingredient." Yu Sheng continued.

Then he pulled out his treasured knife and started sawing away at his own hand...

Li Lin: "…?"

"Hu Li, you bite me," Yu Sheng helplessly placed the knife down, glancing at the demon fox girl who had finished eating the grilled mushrooms, "This knife really needs to be replaced."

"Oh!" Hu Li cheerfully walked over and bit Yu Sheng's wrist with her sharp teeth, a soft tearing sound...

She had finally gotten used to Yu Sheng's peculiar "traits," and now biting her Savior's hand didn't hurt her heart anymore.

Yu Sheng quickly fed his blood into the gate, performing the truly crucial final step of the "ritual" —

Thinking.

Thinking hard.

Imagining that a corresponding door in the valley was slowly taking shape.

Actually, he could have built the corresponding door in the valley first and then opened the door here, achieving the same effect by connecting the two, but he was lazy. After all, the valley door could be remotely controlled by him, so fewer trips were better.

A faint friction sound came from both sides of the plain iron door, and the candle flames on the floor were suddenly drawn by an invisible force, flaring up in an instant.

A moment before, Li Lin had been in a daze, but now he was suddenly alert — he saw that the door was growing and transforming.

On both sides of the door, structures resembling biological tissues extended and quickly fused with the brick wall. The surface of the brick wall continued to undulate, securing the door firmly in place, while also forming a rock-like, extremely sturdy outer layer.

Suddenly, a thought... or rather, a "consciousness" flashed into his mind:

This door is alive.

All those messy alchemy magic techniques and auxiliary materials were actually useless, all the recorded images and detection data from earlier were meaningless. The only meaningful step was the last one, which could not be recorded or analyzed by any instrument — all of the changes happened the moment Yu Sheng offered his blood to the door and pressed the door handle while closing his eyes for a few seconds.

Yu Sheng turned the door handle.

The newly born door silently celebrated its life in the real world. The biological-like structures that had fused with the wall pulsed and swelled vigorously in an unobservable dimension, emitting their first heartbeat.

Then, the door presented a view leading to a distant place to its creator.

Snow White and her seven Thunderbolt Titans stood on the other side of the door, along with a long-haired girl in a light blue dress curiously peeking at the door — it was the Mermaid, with a haughty King squatting on her head.

"Red Hat Sister! And Brother Yu!" The Mermaid happily greeted the people on the other side of the door, "Hey, the door is really open, hey!"

"Humans, you are impressive," the King also nodded reservedly at Yu Sheng through the door, then stretched his head forward, "Come, quickly rub my head."

Yu Sheng smiled and reached over, directly picking the King from the other side of the door and rubbing him in his arms — the cat wasn't annoyed, gracefully letting himself be rubbed before elegantly jumping to the ground, looking around.

"Ah, such devastation," the tabby cat sighed humanly, then waved his hand, summoning a Minstrel in a short robe beside him, "I must recite a poem for this scene — but I can't, so you do it."

The Minstrel took out a feather quill and parchment from his robe and started writing a poem with his head down.

Yu Sheng, having confirmed that the new door could continue operating normally without his maintenance, heaved a sigh of relief and turned to the still-dazed Li Lin with a cheerful smile, "Alright, I'm done, got it?"

"...Don't even ask me, even the director wouldn't 'get' it," Li Lin spread his hands with a wry smile but was quite frank, "No wonder you didn't mind us watching from the side."

He paused and then curiously looked at the door, "So, from now on, we can directly enter the valley through this door? Shouldn't we set up a post here or something? Adding some extra guards besides the node to prevent any intruders from bypassing the node — given your and the fairy tales organization's special nature, the director wouldn't mind assigning some personnel for this."

"Guards shouldn't be necessary; I'll have Little Red Riding Hood arrange a rotating sentry post here to watch the door, mainly to prevent kids from sneaking out," Yu Sheng said, "Don't worry about anyone breaking in — the door requires permission, and even if it's open, unauthorized people won't be able to enter the passage."

Li Lin seemed to understand, "Just like No. 66 Wutong Road?"

Yu Sheng smiled, "Exactly, just like No. 66 Wutong Road."
