Dimensional Hotel-Chapter 520: Hardcore Medical Zone

Luna maintained the holographic projection mid-air with both hands, while Yu Sheng and Baili Qing studied the peculiar object at the center of the projection together.

The item was clearly the focal point of the entire laboratory—it floated prominently on the most noticeable antigravity platform in the hall, surrounded by a faint blue light curtain for protection (or suppression). Countless advanced equipment and technicians encircled the platform. Even when fierce conflicts erupted on both sides of the corridor, and Hu Li’s Fox Radish Missiles crashed into the passage, technicians near several key devices by the platform did not retreat, appearing ready to live and die with the equipment.

However, the object looked rather unremarkable. It was merely an irregular black stone, like a fragment chipped off a larger entity, with edges showing a hint of an obsidian texture. The fragment’s size was about as tall as Erin, making it quite inconspicuous when floating in the force field.

Luna adjusted the holographic projection, enlarging the image so Yu Sheng and Baili Qing could see more details of the black fragment.

One could say, the Holy Lady’s resolution is quite high...

"There seem to be some patterns on this side of the surface, looking like part of a relief or carving," Baili Qing was the first to notice something. She frowned slightly, pointing to a detail on the black fragment, "Miss Luna, can you extract this pattern separately?"

"Sure."

Luna nodded, and then the holographic projection floating above her hands suddenly flickered a few times. The scene of the laboratory disappeared, replaced by a brightly highlighted pattern. She extracted and processed the patterns on the surface of the black fragment she had captured, and with repeated visual reinforcement, the processed pattern became increasingly clear in the holographic projection.

Yu Sheng suddenly frowned, looking thoughtfully at the pattern projected by Luna, a mysteriously familiar feeling stirring within him.

"I feel like I’ve seen this thing somewhere..."

Baili Qing and Baili Xue spoke in unison: "You’ve seen it?"

"Hmm... hold on, let me recall," Yu Sheng nodded, then began to frantically search his memory. Soon he found the source of the familiarity, "Ah, I think I know what it is—"

The next second, he opened a small door beside him, accompanied by the faint sound of Erin yelling "silly fox, you stole the soy paste again" from the other side of the door. He quickly retrieved something from No. 66 Wutong Road.

It was a tattered piece of cloth, with complex and mysterious runes printed on its edges.

Yu Sheng unfolded the cloth and compared it with the pattern in the holographic projection. Instantly, his eyes lit up: "It’s definitely this!"

Baili Qing almost immediately recognized the piece of cloth in Yu Sheng’s hand. She raised an eyebrow: "I remember this is..."

"A fragment of the Omen Banner!" Yu Sheng quickly said, "Taixu Spirit Hub also has a piece... The patterns here should be some emblematic symbols related to the Omen Goddess."

Baili Qing’s expression didn’t change much, but her eyes suddenly showed a few degrees of gravity and seriousness. She looked at the holographic projection in Luna’s hand, slowly spoke, "...So, the ’Black Spot Laboratory’ on the other side of the passage is researching some kind of ’relic’ related to the Omen Goddess—then the things they possess seem even more extensive than we imagined."

Yu Sheng nodded, then thoughtfully said, "So, what’s up with that suddenly opened passage? Is it connected to their ongoing research?"

"Using the power of the Omen Goddess to open a gateway across dimensions?" Baili Xue’s eyes drifted to the alloy shell of Luna, murmuring while pondering, "But judging from the situation at the time, this process was more or less out of control. Either they didn’t expect the passage to open, or they didn’t expect someone on the other side of the passage. But then again, they still had the ability to forcefully close the passage in the end..."

Yu Sheng didn’t speak for a moment, still pondering the suddenly opened passage. Amidst his thoughts, he had another epiphany, and an image of a noisy and clumsy dwarf began to bounce around in his mind.

Then, out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Baili Xue’s eyes had drifted onto Luna’s face, blinking over her eyes.

"Baili Xue, can you move somewhere else," Yu Sheng broke into a cold sweat, "this looks a bit creepy." 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Next to him, Baili Qing also immediately put on a stern face: "Don’t mess around, come down."

"Oh," Baili Xue responded, then slowly floated to the floor-to-ceiling window nearby, continuing, "Overall, it seems that the Black Dot Group is clearly up to some new ’black technology’. Although that thing still looks unstable, they already have the ability to open the gateway into the Boundary Land—although this time they opened the door in the ’Dark Alley’, it’s not excluded they can open it elsewhere. In fact, I even suspect they have already established some hidden passages in the Boundary Land, only this time they were exposed due to an experimental accident..."

Baili Qing immediately frowned slightly, watching her sister climbing up and down the window: "You mean?"

"The special forces squad that appeared at Jinglin Sanatorium," Baili Xue said slowly, "Such an external team, and fully armed at that—even if they’re the renowned Black Dot agents, it isn’t easy to infiltrate the Boundary Land, and we still haven’t figured out how they got in... But what if they punched a hole in the Boundary Land? Then the border barrier and the checkpoints in Boundary City naturally wouldn’t see any traces."

Baili Qing’s gaze became sharp.

It was Yu Sheng’s first time seeing the female director’s gaze change so drastically—not just her eyes, but he suddenly felt a certain indescribable... aura from her. An intangible yet palpable "presence" was slowly spreading from her seemingly frail figure.

But this feeling vanished in an instant. The next second, Baili Qing returned to her usual calm and indifferent demeanor. She merely took a light breath and nodded slightly, "This guess is not unfounded; it seems we’ll need to closely ’watch’ everywhere for a while."

At this moment, footsteps suddenly came from the direction of the hallway, interrupting the conversation in the office.

A girl with short hair wearing a suit and skirt pushed the door open and hurriedly bowed to Baili Qing, "Director, our captain would like you to come to the 77th-floor medical area. They said that the ’Black Spot Soldier’ has woken up."

Right after, this short-haired girl looked up and saw Yu Sheng standing in the office, her eyes instantly brightened, "Hey! Mr. Yu?"

Uh-oh, it’s the urging shipper, Ren Wenwen!

As soon as Yu Sheng saw her bright eyes, cold sweat immediately formed, and he hastily responded with a few perfunctory words, then called for Baili Qing to go outside, "Let’s deal with the urgent matter first—let’s check on the captive we caught."

For a moment, Baili Qing seemed a bit puzzled by Yu Sheng’s reaction, but she nodded and stepped outside the office, with Luna following closely behind Yu Sheng.

Ren Wenwen, of course, didn’t dare block the director’s path, but she still followed them to the door, enthusiastically seeing Yu Sheng off, "Mr. Yu, next time you come, let me know... Looking forward to your new work~"

Walking in the hallway leading to the medical zone, Yu Sheng couldn’t help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead. Beside him, Baili Qing seemed to understand and turned to him with an expressionless face, "Being popular is a good thing."

"It’s quite stressful," Yu Sheng chuckled dryly, "especially since the couple she ships is a bit peculiar..."

Baili Qing paused her steps slightly, "What is a couple?"

Yu Sheng: "..."

He glanced at Baili Qing, who appeared to be in her twenties, and realized this director lady of the Special Service Bureau, who had been in charge for a century, probably didn’t know much about "young people’s" stuff.

Seems fortunate.

Seeing Yu Sheng not speaking, Baili Qing didn’t press further. She just pondered briefly and continued walking forward. After a few steps, she suddenly added, "Actually, I’ve also read what you’ve written."

The cold sweat Yu Sheng had just managed to subside suddenly reappeared.

"Couldn’t quite... understand, but they seemed like very interesting stories," Baili Qing seemed not to notice Yu Sheng’s momentary awkwardness and continued talking to herself, "I rarely have time to read books, so I’m not very familiar with current novel trends. But your stories... they seem quite relaxing. However, it seems like you haven’t written for a long time—have you been too busy lately?"

"Uh, I’m writing, writing. It’ll be just about ready once Erin returns my computer..."

The cold sweat was about to reach Yu Sheng’s heels; he didn’t even know what he was saying—after all, he hadn’t expected to be urged to update his work by this ironclad-faced director...

Moreover, he couldn’t directly tell Baili Qing that recently, after finishing his groundbreaking works "New Folder" and "New Folder (1)," he was currently working hard on completing "New Folder (2)."

As they spoke, they had crossed the hallway and, using the Special Service Bureau Building’s peculiar "magical elevator," traversed countless fantastically bizarre floors, eventually arriving at the "medical area" in an unknown dimension.

The reason for saying "unknown dimension" was that as soon as Yu Sheng stepped out of the elevator, he saw two alien giant beasts fighting in space outside the medical area corridor’s windows. The sight of them crashing into the shield on the hallway’s side would cause anyone to lose sanity—it was then that a security guard dressed like an Astartes stepped out and handled the aliens...

"...Isn’t the medical environment in your bureau a bit too hardcore?" Yu Sheng couldn’t help but murmur, "With so many stable floors, why was this one chosen?"

"The building has more than one medical area," Baili Qing calmly replied, "This region is specifically ’external’—the unique environment configuration and treatment ambiance here can effectively improve patients’ cooperation level."

Yu Sheng opened his mouth but only managed to say after several seconds, "Then it seems you could sit at the same table as the doctors from Qianfeng Ling Mountain."
