To be fair, it was very difficult for Yu Sheng to say the words "hearts and minds are united" as soon as the little doll said it. The main reason was that most of the time he and Irene spent together, both of them felt that the other was sick.

Once he thought about it carefully, they both felt that the other was sick.

Isn’t this a kind of unity of mind and heart?

His train of thought spread unknowingly, and within a few seconds, his mother didn't even recognize him as he went astray. In the end, Irene hit him on the head: "I asked you to clear your mind! I didn't let you know.

Let your brain go free! At least focus on opening the door——"

"Oh, okay."

Yu Sheng reacted instantly, quickly calmed down, and then began to carefully execute the steps to open the door.

But this time, he just summoned a "null gate" that did not lead to anywhere, and then relaxed his mind little by little while maintaining the stability of the gate.

He felt Erin's small palm pressing on his temple.

He saw Irene's other hand raised, pointing to the door in the distance.

Threads of black silk threads spread and grow from the fingertips of the little doll, soundlessly, like some kind of strange "creature" with independent life, rapidly intertwining in the air, squirming, deforming, splitting, and breeding————"

Part of the thread pierced into his flesh and blood, into his mind, and a strange and cold feeling traveled along his spine, which even made people shudder.

If this was the first time he came into contact with Irene's silk thread, Yu Sheng might have already subconsciously thrown away the little doll at this time - these cold and weird things don't look like they are harmless to humans and animals, but they are more suitable.

In the script of "the insidious cursed doll finally seizes the opportunity to plot against his owner in an attempt to seize the top spot at No. 66 Wutong Road", it is really suspicious.

But he's used to it - probably the dolls in Alice's cabin are like this.

And some of the silk threads spreading in the air were extending towards the door - their front ends gathered together, like a strange tentacle, first they cautiously touched the door, and then began to tentatively move towards it.

The interior of the door is pierced.

The connection is established.

However, at this moment, Yu Sheng suddenly felt... - in a trance.

The sound of wind in the valley disappeared, and the surrounding scene was enveloped by a thick and dim curtain at some point, as if there was boundless fog filling his vision, and in the depths of the fog, he saw————

A blond, fragmented doll lay quietly in a ruins that had fallen into darkness, and there was a huge shadow, which fell deep in the ruins together with the doll - the dead doll opened its eyes, and stood in the ruins.

In the brief illusion separated by the curtain, Yu Sheng suddenly had the illusion that those eyes were staring at him.

However, everything passed in an instant, and before he even had time to confirm whether the dead blond doll was the one he saw in the mirror, all the illusions disappeared.

Only Irene's energetic voice came to his ears: "Hey, hey, hey! The door is open, the door is open! I feel like this thing is working! Yu Sheng, please see if I'm doing it right——"

Yu Shengji Ling suddenly woke up and saw that the door leading to the black forest had been slowly opened in his hands. Countless black threads with a strange black mist were intertwined inside and outside the door, wandering around, outlining the chaos.

The figure is like a bush of thorns guarding the door frame, and on the other side of the door is the forest shrouded in shadow.

The door to the black forest has really been successfully opened,

Yu Sheng looked at the door entangled with black "thorns" in a daze. To be fair, it was a bit weird, but it was really touching.

But what he cared more about were the "phantoms" he had just seen.

"Irene."

"ah?"

"Did you see anything just now? When you were spiritually connected to me, did you see anything like an illusion?"

"No," the little puppet confirmed, looking at Yu Sheng doubtfully, "I just concentrated on helping you position the door, for fear that something would go wrong - what did you see?"

Yu Sheng hesitated for a moment, but still didn't hide the little doll's secret: ".——-I saw that blond doll again."

"Which blond doll?" Erin didn't react for a moment, "Do you know other dolls outside?"

"The one I mentioned to you, the one I saw in the mirror," Yu Sheng reminded the other party, "the one who was torn apart and died in an unknown place. You also said that you would help her get home if there was a chance in the future."

"Oh, I remembered!" Eileen finally reacted, then frowned, "Why did you see her again? What did you see this time?"

""..——-The scene is the same as the last time I saw it, but I feel like her eyes are falling on me," Yu Sheng said slowly, "I don't know what happened, it was your silk thread just now."

What you saw the moment you connected to me - I thought you could feel it too."

He and Eileen met each other, but they thought about it for a long time and did not come to any conclusion.

Many conjectures popped up in Yu Sheng's mind, but without any clues, all the conjectures turned out to be random thoughts in the end.

He could only focus on the door in front of him for the time being - just this time, the mysterious blond doll had inevitably left a deep impression on his heart.

Hu Li came over and grabbed Yu Sheng's arm a little uneasily.

"The door to the black forest is open," Yu Sheng rubbed the fur behind the fox girl's ears comfortingly, "You will come in with me later."

Hu Li nodded immediately: "Yes."

"Irene, you stay here," Yu Sheng said to the puppet on his shoulder again, "Observe the scene when we pass through the door. Hu Li and I will stay on the opposite side for a few minutes, and then directly open the door and come back - if everything

All goes well, our 'landing point' should still be here when we return."

"Don't you need me to go in with you?" Erin looked a little worried, "What if you get lost in there and I, the 'dream expert', can't help you?"

"You don't need to 'navigate' by opening the door from the side of the black forest to return to reality," Yu Sheng explained. "In contrast, it would be safer for you to stay outside and act as the 'insurance' for me and Hu Li."

"Okay," Irene felt that what she said made sense, so she didn't waste any time and jumped down from Yu Sheng's shoulder, "Then I'll guard you here - we agreed for a few minutes, don't die inside.

It’s——”

As soon as the little puppet finished speaking, Hu Li clenched his fists hard and said with a serious face, "I will protect my benefactor to the death!"

Eileen waved her hand: "That's not necessary. You mainly need to protect yourself, and Yu Sheng's life is not worth anything—"

Yu Sheng opened his mouth, but he held it in for a long time before he could come up with a rebuttal.

What made him even more depressed was that Hu Li didn't even refute.·

"I really owed you both in my previous life."

He could only sigh, then he turned around and walked into the door with the fox girl.

After a moment of dizziness and sensory reset, he was already standing in the familiar black forest.

The distant and faint howling of wolves, the hollow sound of the wind blowing through the forest, the gloomy sky between dusk and night, the ubiquitous shadows, and those bushes that always seem to hide something and have malicious intentions.

Everything was the same as what he remembered. This dark forest seemed to have always been like this.

Hu Li looked around with wide eyes. This was her first time in this place - because she had heard a lot about this forest from Yu Sheng and Little Red Riding Hood before, she seemed very wary at this time.

The pile of tails behind him stood there like a swordsman, and the fluff on his ears exploded slightly.

After briefly checking the surrounding environment, Yu Sheng called out from the bottom of his heart: "Irene, we are coming in."

"I saw you guys went in," the little doll responded immediately, "The door here has disappeared, and it looks no different from what you usually see when you "open the door."

"Our bodies also passed through the door, right?" Yu Sheng asked, "We didn't stay outside?"

"No, you passed through the door directly physically."

After hearing the little doll's reply, Yu Sheng breathed out softly and looked down at his hands.

Sure enough, after a series of "buggy" operations, he successfully entered the black forest physically - and also successfully brought in a cybernetic fox.

Everything was as he had expected. For the Black Forest, the boundary between "consciousness" and "body" is not so clear.

The products in the black forest can be brought into the real world in the form of matter, and the materials in the real world can also be sent to this black forest under certain conditions. The principle behind this may not be clear yet, but for him

For this purpose, it is enough to have this conclusion.

What Yu Sheng was most afraid of before was that the Black Forest was really a pure world of "consciousness", or to put it more bluntly, it was a conceptual, nihilistic thing:

Conceptual and nihilistic things are the most difficult to deal with, because it means that you can only use the same concept and nihility to fight against it. Human beings are creatures living in reality after all, and fighting against "abstraction" is not something that humans are good at.

.

Anyway, Yu Sheng felt that he belonged to "humanity" and he would only think according to human logic.

But since the Black Forest can establish contact with the "material world" through "bugs", everything will be much easier to handle.

This means it has a health bar.

Yu Sheng likes things with health bars.

"My dear friend, what are we going to do next?" Hu Li approached cautiously and asked in a low voice, "Are we going to fight those wolves? Or are we waiting for that 'squirrel' you mentioned to come out?"

"Wolves are invisible, and that evil wolf also has its own conditions for appearing, and it will be difficult to deal with for a while." Yu Sheng shook his head, "We are not here to fight, and we are not looking for that squirrel.

"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and opened a door again.

This time, the opposite side of the door is no longer chaotic darkness, but the scenery in the valley is clearly reflected.

He could even see Eileen standing opposite the door, looking at this side with wide eyes in surprise.

"Hey, Yu Sheng, I see you!"

"It seems that after entering the black forest in the physical body, you can open the normal door here," Yu Sheng smiled and nodded to the little puppet on the other side of the door, then turned to look at the fox girl beside him,

"I'm ready to leave - but before I leave, I have to say hello to the thing behind the black forest."

"Ah? Hello?" The demon fox girl was stunned for a moment, "What hello?"

"The kind with twenty chicken legs."
