Dimensional Hotel-Chapter 536: Not a Bad Solution

In the office of the Special Service Bureau, a virtual door suddenly appeared in the empty space beside Baili Qing’s desk.

Baili Qing had already received the message that Yu Sheng was coming over, so she wasn’t surprised at all. After a simple greeting, she continued to focus on her work, her face as stern as usual: "Hold on, I’ll finish this up quickly."

Yu Sheng carried Erin in, opened the door, and casually moved a chair from the side to sit down (this chair had almost become his designated seat whenever he came here), watching Baili Qing reviewing documents with an intense aura of bitterness and resentment.

The small puppet in his arms squirmed restlessly, lifted its head, and muttered softly, "Hey, Yu Sheng, the Ironclad Expression seems to be in a really bad mood today."

Before Yu Sheng could respond, Baili Qing, who was reviewing the documents, suddenly looked up: "I’m not the Ironclad Expression."

Erin immediately started showing off, "Hey, just that sentence got a reaction!"

Yu Sheng pressed the puppet back down and glanced at the director lady, who seemed a bit more tense than usual: "Uh, did something happen? You look..."

"The ’invasion’ caused by that Black Spot Laboratory is becoming more frequent and severe, and our current interception and countermeasures haven’t been very effective," Baili Qing said with a somber expression. "The key issue is that we can’t determine the underlying principle behind this phenomenon..."

Yu Sheng immediately adjusted his posture on the chair upon hearing this: "Hey, I came here to talk to you about this! About that Black Spot Laboratory—do you know who the head of the lab on the other side is?"

He actually intended to brag a bit, but unexpectedly, Baili Qing’s expression changed slightly—though her face didn’t show much reaction, having interacted for so long and with his sharp intuition, Yu Sheng sensed that the director lady had something on her mind, causing him to swallow his following words instantly.

"Judging by your look..." Yu Sheng adjusted his expression and phrasing, "You should have something to tell me, right?"

Baili Qing sighed softly, seemingly making a quick decision after some internal deliberation.

"I originally wanted to find an opportunity to discuss this with you, given how things have developed now," she raised her eyelids and gazed calmly into Yu Sheng’s eyes. "I think I can identify the ’culprit’ behind these recent incidents... If I’m not mistaken, it should be an Arglede Elf named ’Luo.’

Yu Sheng slowly opened his mouth, and after being stunned for a while, suddenly remembered a detail: "Ah, I recall that Black Spot Soldier we caught earlier mentioned someone named ’Lowe’er’..."

"That name was something he made up—’Lowe’er’ is indeed a real person, but that’s the name of a different Black Spot tech warlord," Baili Qing shook her head. "Luo is responsible for certain large facilities in the Dark Meteor Domain under the Black Spot Group. Although she could also be classified as one of the ’Black Spot warlords,’ she leans more towards being a researcher."

Erin crawled up onto Yu Sheng’s shoulder, pointing at Baili Qing: "Hey! Seems like your Special Service Bureau is really in collusion with the Black Spot Group behind the scenes, conspiring and secretly connecting, shady dealings..."

"Alright, alright, don’t use words you don’t know," Yu Sheng quickly pulled the little thing down from his shoulder, looking at Baili Qing. "So, explain yourself?"

He paused for a moment before adding, "Actually, I’m not surprised. After all, the nature of the Black Spot Group clearly differs from those two cult groups, and you even emphasized their universal trade network and access to hyper-advanced technologies like the ’umbilical cord.’ Given such a special organization and the unique position of Boundary Land, regardless of your public relations, having some private contact isn’t abnormal... I just didn’t expect such ’contact’ to extend to the high levels."

"On the contrary, high-level contact is what’s normal; it’s often a kind of insurance," Baili Qing said, sighing. "But something is clearly wrong this time—I’ve known ’Luo’ for a long time, and we’ve collaborated several times. Among the typically radical Black Spot warlords, she can even be considered a ’moderate and rational individual,’ even when it comes to research projects.

"Luo is more like a pure technocrat than a businessman or regional manager. Most of her energy goes into this, and unlike other Black Spot scientists, she seldom touches those overly advanced, extreme fields... Her cautious and conservative style has, to my knowledge, even garnered criticism from many other Black Spot higher-ups.

"But judging from the current situation, she’s ultimately no different from other Black Spot warlords—they mess up projects, cause a loss of control, it’s a common trait among them." Baili Qing shook her head, sighing again toward the end.

Yu Sheng even sensed a hint of personal emotion in her last few words.

"You two didn’t get into a fight, did you?" Erin climbed back onto Yu Sheng’s shoulder, blinking at Baili Qing.

Baili Qing frowned slightly and remained silent while Baili Xue’s eyes appeared silently on the ceiling, observing the room—what could they say? Differences and conflicts aren’t the issue; the problem is that the evidently problematic side is hiding in an inaccessible Lawless Star Region and has taken a stance of refusing communication, which is the most frustrating part.

As the sisters found themselves brooding again, Yu Sheng suddenly stood up from the opposite side: "How about..."

Baili Qing raised her eyebrows in confusion: "Hmm?"

Then Yu Sheng casually opened a door from the side: "How about you two talk face to face again?"

He had established a blood connection with that research facility hiding somewhere, and although he hadn’t reached the level of control, at least he could determine where the golden-haired elf was in the experimental facility at the moment—because he had splattered blood on her skirt in a past life.

The door opened, revealing what looked like a preparation room on the opposite side, spacious and filled with a dazzling array of mechanical equipment, where a certain golden-haired Elf Mechanic was standing at a control panel, repairing her set of mechanical limbs.

Now she was staring in shock at the door that suddenly appeared in front of her, and at Yu Sheng on the other side of the door.

In the next second, she let out a sharp scream—filled with exasperation, anger, resentment, and a touch of fear:

"It’s·you·again!! How the hell do you always..."

Then she suddenly froze up with a snap—much like Luna had when she crashed, glaring at Yu Sheng... and Baili Qing standing behind him.

Baili Xue’s eyes popped onto the floor with a splat, then quickly slithered back up to the floor-to-ceiling window behind, staring in shock at the golden-haired elf on the opposite side of the door.

To handle a scene like this, you need to have a certain talent (or maybe a lot of experience). Amazingly, Baili Qing maintained her usual Ironclad Expression under such circumstances, controlling herself with great resolve not to leap up from behind her desk. She looked at the scene on the other side of the door with a look of calmness, only raising her eyebrows slightly before speaking indifferently: "Luo, we need to talk—before I have to resort to some extreme measures."

Erin nudged Yu Sheng’s head: "Hey, Yu Sheng, she’s putting on an act..."

Yu Sheng maintained a poker face, pretending not to notice the little puppet’s nudge, while keeping the door open and observing the state of the golden-haired Elf Mechanic on the opposite side—got to say, she was quite the pretty elf, with her hair almost standing on end.

"I knew it, all the persistent hauntings must be related to you!" Luo, near hysteria, glared at Baili Qing in front of her, yet quickly remote-controlled the closing of the readiness room’s hatch and set it to Do Not Disturb mode with her hand, while one of her mechanical limbs quickly manipulated something on the control panel nearby, doing who-knows-what. "What the heck is going on?!"

"Before that, I want to know what’s going on with your laboratory," Baili Qing stood up slowly from behind the desk, and with her movement, an indescribable sense of authority was released, forming an almost tangible intimidation in the air, "that thing you’re researching, ’Zolda Black Stone’, it seems to have already gone out of control, haven’t you noticed the frequent anomalies in your lab?"

The immense pressure emanating from Baili Qing was enough to make giants tremble, yet the slim figure on the other side of the door seemed completely unaffected. Luo stared fixedly into Baili Qing’s eyes: "You have no idea how important this is—the future and path of the world are hidden in the Black Stone, and let me emphasize once again, my laboratory is in good condition..."

Baili Qing frowned slightly.

Yu Sheng thought for a moment, then suddenly realized something, whispering to Baili Qing: "My door blocks negative influence, she can’t feel your aura over there."

Baili Qing was taken aback: "...Say that earlier next time!"

Yu Sheng immediately let out an awkward laugh: "Well, um, you guys continue talking... continue..."

As he spoke, he shifted slightly to the side, making space for Baili Qing and Luo.

Taking advantage of the situation, Erin slid down Yu Sheng’s arm, using the chair as cover, and slipped to the side of the door.

Several fine black threads quietly extended in the air, seeping little by little along the edge of the doorframe to the opposite side.

Baili Qing clearly noticed Yu Sheng and Erin’s subtle actions, and though she wasn’t sure what they intended, she quickly cooperated by opening her mouth to divert Luo’s attention: "The key point now is that your project has already posed a threat to the Boundary Land. If you can’t control the situation, then I have no choice—your lair has been found by us..."

"Threat... very well," the golden-haired elf on the opposite side suddenly laughed, "but you might be a bit late—just now I entered an emergency code, soon..."

A premonition of danger suddenly surged through her.

Indistinct black threads flickered through the air.

Twisted Space Rifts suddenly spread everywhere!

Dozens of mass-produced Puppets instantly filled the readiness room opposite the door, clattering and shooting wildly, then rushed forward to grab the golden-haired elf and started running this way!

"Wait, wait a minute! Who are you guys?! What are you doing... Let go of me! Let go—"
