Chapter 76: The Strange People Living in the Otherworld
“Can you both see that house up ahead?” Yu Sheng asked, pointing towards the old manor in front of them at Wutong Road No. 66.
Beside him, Foxy and Irene, who was snuggled in Foxy’s arms, both nodded casually.
“Of course we can,” Foxy replied, her voice light and easy. “It’s right there in front of us. We saw it when we left, and we see it now as we’re back.”
Yu Sheng nodded, then looked at Little Red Riding Hood, who was tagging along. “And you? Can you see it?”
Little Red Riding Hood widened her eyes, staring hard at the empty lot ahead and the low wall at the edge of the land. She turned her head, frowning at Foxy and Irene.
“You two can really see it?”
“Looks like you can’t,” Yu Sheng said, already understanding the situation. “Even though I gave you an ‘invitation,’ you still can’t see it.” Little Red shrugged.
Yu Sheng fell into thought.
He had been curious about many things lately—about himself, about the Otherworld, about the Special Affairs Bureau, and especially about the mysterious Night Valley. But more than anything, he was curious about the strange old manor where he’d been living for the past two months. So, driven by a “necessary research spirit,” he invited Little Red Riding Hood over today to test just how peculiar the “non-existent Wutong Road No. 66” really was.
