Yu Sheng said such a long string of words in one breath. Little Red Riding Hood had a thoughtful expression halfway through, clearly considering the feasibility of the matter seriously. Snow White, on the other hand, looked at them with a puzzled face, her gaze shifting between the two several times before finally unable to resist speaking: "What are you talking about? Red Hat, what do you mean by Stardew Valley?"

"Oh, that's a nickname I came up with. It's actually the Exotic Realm 'Nightfall Valley'," Little Red Riding Hood finally realized and explained to Snow White, "I remember telling you about the recent situation of that valley."

Snow White elongated her "oh," and Little Red Riding Hood turned her head, looking earnestly at Yu Sheng: "I think this plan is feasible—and I personally feel more assured about your valley. But...isn't this a bit too much trouble for you?"

When she said this, her expression looked a bit uneasy. Still, Yu Sheng waved his hand cheerfully, not taking it to heart at all: "It's not troublesome at all. My valley is just sitting there empty anyway, and I happen to have some renovation plans recently. I was just thinking about what excuse to use to get more manpower from the Special Service Bureau to help, and here you are—these expenses can all be reimbursed by the Special Service Bureau later."

Little Red Riding Hood gradually showed a smile as she listened.

She didn't say anything more because everything she wanted to say was hidden in that smile.

After that, they discussed many details about the relocation and isolation operations, including how to arrange the children's accommodations in the temporary camp in the valley, whether the caregivers sent by the Council should temporarily move into the valley, the process for material inflow and distribution during the isolation, and how to arrange make-up classes for the school-going children once they enter the valley.

These were all quite practical issues—so practical that Yu Sheng hadn't even thought of them at first.

In any case, he hadn't thought about arranging make-up classes for the kids while taking refuge in the valley...

"Of course, it's necessary. After all, we don't know how long we'll have to stay in that valley," Little Red Riding Hood said seriously, "Although we often can't complete all our studies, if we live through each day, we should try to live as normally as possible. That's the orphanage's rule—no one should have a slacker's mentality."

Snow White, on the other hand, was deep in thought: "Speaking of not knowing how long we'll stay in that valley... ultimately, isolation and refuge are temporary measures. We still need to solve the problem fundamentally."

Upon hearing this, Yu Sheng quickly snapped out of his thoughts about "make-up classes" and nodded solemnly: "Exactly, we need to resolve the issue of the Dark Angel and the 'Fairy Tale Curse' as soon as possible. The good news is that, based on the existing information, the 'curse' brought by Fairyland and the activities of the Dark Angel Anka Aela are likely from the same source. As long as we can deal with the Dark Angel, the erosion from Fairy Tales should also stop."

At this point, he paused, his expression a bit subtle: "From an optimistic perspective, you've been trying to find the source of the curse for so many years, and now you've finally found it."

"Yes, the source is a Dark Angel—so we really have to be as optimistic as possible," sighed Little Red Riding Hood. But then she shifted the topic, "Let's set that aside for now and discuss the follow-up to the relocation—what will happen to the orphanage after we leave?"

Returning to this topic, Yu Sheng's expression became serious.

He knew that the orphanage had already begun showing signs of pollution invading reality, such as the thorny shadows on the walls and the silhouettes of the Black Forest in the underground passages. However, what couldn't be determined now was whether these "eruptions" were related to the "place" itself or to a child who may have already been chosen as a "container."

"If the 'eruption' phenomena we've seen before are related to the activity of the 'container,' then theoretically, after the children are transferred to the valley, those grotesque phenomena should not appear again. But if those bizarre shadows are produced by the orphanage itself, it means this 'place' still has some degree of contamination," Yu Sheng said thoughtfully, "After all, this place has been the headquarters of the 'Fairy Tales' organization for decades. Every building here has been 'saturated' in the influence of Fairy Tales for a long time. Who knows what might grow in some corner..."

"We need to leave some people to monitor the situation here," Little Red Riding Hood nodded, "The Special Service Bureau can send people to keep an eye on it, and you should also be on the lookout. As for us..."

At this point, the expression on the girl's face inevitably turned a bit gloomy.

After all, this was the place where she grew up. Rationally, she understood that all the children, including herself, might have already become "containers," and it was best to complete the isolation as soon as possible. But emotionally, she was still very reluctant to leave this place.

Seeing the look on Little Red Riding Hood's face, Yu Sheng wanted to say that the descent of the Dark Angel also required a process. If they really wanted to "come home" then, he could arrange for the children to come back and visit. However, he didn't say this out loud.

When it comes to the Dark Angel, it's best not to take risks. After all... not everyone can afford to risk their life.

Now, it was necessary to quickly begin preparing for the operation to pack up and move the entire "Fairy Tales" organization to the shelter valley.

After leaving the orphanage and returning home, Yu Sheng immediately called Baili Qing.

"They accepted the second plan, which is to transfer to the 'valley' of the travel agency," Yu Sheng said, sitting on the living room sofa, jotting down notes on a notebook while speaking to the director on the phone, "I'm updating the list of essential supplies and details for the transfer process that we just discussed. I'll send it directly to your office later."

"Okay," came the brief, calm response from Baili Qing on the other end of the phone. After a few seconds of silence, her voice reemerged, "Did they agree readily?"

"...Seems to be just as you expected?"

"The Special Service Bureau has been cooperating with 'Fairy Tales' for a long time; I have a certain understanding of those children..." Baili Qing said lightly, "Although they themselves may not have realized it, the Special Service Bureau always considers 'Fairy Tales' to be their most excellent cooperative partner—in most cases, those 'children' are even more reliable and efficient than some so-called mature official Spirit Realm detective organizations."

"Looks like I've been worrying for nothing."

There was a few seconds of silence from Baili Qing before he spoke calmly, "'Worrying for nothing' is a trait of adults. Perhaps it's the reason they feel close to you - in any case, the children trust you a lot. After they moved into your valley, you essentially became the largest 'parent' in this 'fairy tale.'"

"I know," Yu Sheng replied earnestly.

"Don't betray the children's trust."

"Don't worry."

"Alright, don't forget to send over the materials you just organized later - also, the first batch of basic supplies is ready, and the personnel can be in place anytime. When do you need them?"

Yu Sheng looked up and glanced at the clock hanging in the living room.

"I'll inform you. I need to 'prepare' in the valley first, at least clear out a flat area large enough for the temporary camp. Rest assured, it won't take long."

"Okay, I'll wait for your news."

...

Ten minutes later, Yu Sheng, Erin, and Hu Li stepped through the fixed teleportation gate in the basement and arrived at the "hub platform" in the center of the valley.

The fixed teleportation gate in the basement served as a continuously active "passage," immune to the opening and closing impacts, thus not requiring frequent reports to the Special Service Bureau. Therefore, whenever they were at home, they would always use this door to enter and exit the valley.

——For Yu Sheng, opening any door is convenient, but for Hu Li, pushing the door from the basement to feed the chickens in the valley is equally handy.

After a brief deliberation, Yu Sheng decided to use the vacant land by the side of the hub platform, close to the original forest, as the site for the temporary camp.

On one hand, the area around the platform had recovered significantly from the aftermath of the "feast." The ground once gnawed by the Hunger Entity was now smooth and stable, with lush greenery and a rapidly growing forest in the distance, providing a far better living environment than the area close to the mountain. On the other hand, a water channel extending from the depths of the valley ran past the edge of this land, providing an excellent water source for the camp.

Under Yu Sheng's control, the vast expanse of barren land slowly wriggled as if alive. The flat ground for temporary prefab houses, the sturdy platform for the generator, the sinking pit for the water pump, and other structures like water channels quickly "grew" directly from the earth.

Standing at the edge of the open land, Yu Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly and immersed his consciousness into the earth. Like commanding his own limbs, he meticulously "sketched" the basic blueprint he had discussed with the Special Service Bureau in his mind, onto the valley.

Hu Li and Erin stayed beside him, watching the land "grow" with great interest. The little puppet couldn't help but mutter, "No wonder someone said they love watching construction sites online. Watching an excavator dig can keep them there all afternoon... This is pretty fascinating! I could watch this for half a day without an excavator..."

As usual, Hu Li applauded Yu Sheng, "Our savior really is suited to be a Civil Engineering Immortal..."

"Do you know that your 'savior' actually doesn't like hearing that compliment?"

Hu Li: "Why?"

Erin waved her hand, "Oh, you wouldn't understand even if I explained."

Yu Sheng listened to the chatter around him and didn't feel annoyed. He suddenly remarked thoughtfully, "Actually, I think I can just 'grow' the entire camp. There's no need for the Special Service Bureau to prepare any prefab houses..."

He was immediately interrupted by Erin, "Put that bold idea away!"

Yu Sheng was a bit frustrated, "Why?"

Erin put her hands on her hips, "Those kids have already had a hard time being relocated from the orphanage. Would you really feel okay making them live in bathrooms..."

Yu Sheng: "..."
