Chapter 43: Irenes Plan
Yu Sheng had always known that Irene possessed many magical abilities. He’d felt it deeply when she followed him into Foxy’s dream. But honestly, Irene’s usual antics and mishaps were so frequent that people often overlooked her talents.
“Now there’s only one thing left—the most crucial part,” Yu Sheng said seriously, sitting on the sofa and turning to the tiny doll beside him. “We need to find a way to recreate that door leading to the valley.”
“You’re still planning to use brute force?” Irene asked curiously. “Trying every ‘frequency’ you think might be close?”
Yu Sheng sighed. “It’s the only option. When I first entered the valley, I hadn’t truly mastered the technique of ‘opening doors.’ I missed too many details back then.”
Irene tilted her head, her tiny face deep in thought. After a moment, she spoke hesitantly. “Actually… I have an idea.”
Yu Sheng leaned forward eagerly. “Oh? You have a way?!”
“It might not work,” she cautioned. “I don’t really understand how you ‘open doors,’ or what you mean by ‘frequency.’ But from what I gather, you need some kind of ‘feature’ to help you lock onto the destination? Like a navigation signal?”
“Well… that makes sense,” Yu Sheng admitted, though uncertainty tinged his voice. “Honestly, I haven’t fully figured it out myself. The whole process was me fumbling around, relying on ‘feel.’ But your description of a ‘navigation signal’ is pretty accurate. When I open a door, the destination on the other side is completely random. But if I can accurately ‘remember’ some ‘feature’ of the place beyond the door, the pathway collapses into a single, specific route. That’s roughly how it works.”
