Tang Yuan left the baby's room and took the elevator to the first floor.

The front desk has been tidied up, the empty cups have been put up again, the registration booklet is neatly placed on it, and the packaging bags scattered on the ground have been cleaned up. The lucky cat is smiling and shaking its paws, as if nothing happened last night

Happened the same.

However, the person standing at the front desk is not the cat girl, but Xiaoli, who gave Tang Yuan a massage before. She wore lipstick today, so she looks completely human.

Tang Yuan used the ability to see through illusions and was able to see Xiaoli's true appearance. Lipstick could not make her truly human, it was just a deception similar to illusion.

However, this function is still turned off. Although it is an illusion, Xiaoli's human appearance is more comfortable than that of an elephant, so don't abuse your eyes.

"Why you today?" Tang Yuan asked.

"Xiaofang is a little uncomfortable, so I will take over." Xiaoli smiled after seeing Tang Yuan. "Although I am not as professional as her, if it is a request made by a customer, I will still try my best to fulfill it.

"

Tang Yuan recalled the abnormal appearance of the cat lady last night, and she didn't go to work today. People couldn't help but wonder what happened to her.

"She is sick? Can I visit her?"

"Hey, this can't be done." Xiaoli smiled and rejected Tang Yuan. "It's not convenient for her to see guests now."

Tang Yuan continued to ask about the cat girl's whereabouts without giving up. Xiaoli's attitude was very good, but she just didn't answer directly, and she became impatient when asked.

"It's better not to be so curious here. Let the guests go and dine."

[Xiao Li can’t ask what’s going on.]

Tang Yuan came to the kitchen, but found that there were very few dishes today. Compared with the rich variety yesterday, there were only two or three kinds left. The residents sitting around were a little dissatisfied.

The deer-headed man apologized to everyone with a sad look on his face, and saw Tang Yuan coming over to say hello.

"What's going on today?" Tang Yuan asked pretending to be surprised. Of course he knew why there was so little food today because it was all spoiled by the baby last night.

"Hey, don't mention it. I don't know who sneaked into the kitchen and ruined everything. I looked this morning and found that the ingredients prepared last night could not be used. I could only use the food in the warehouse, but I didn't have enough time.

Prepare more dishes and the result is as you see it.”

"The vegetables and fruits I cut last night were all in vain."

"It's not easy to be a chef." Tang Yuan shook his head and said. "You are already very good at preparing these dishes in a hurry. By the way, didn't the cat girl at the front desk come for breakfast? I still have something to ask her.

"

The deer-headed man paused in his busy movements, then raised his head and replied with a grin: "She is sick. If you have anything to do, just ask Xiaoli."

"It's rare that she and I are already familiar with each other. She must not have had breakfast either. It won't be easy to recover from her illness. How about I go visit her with some food." Tang Yuan looked worried.

The deer-headed man seemed to be relieved when he saw Tang Yuan's worried look.

"It's okay. Don't worry about her. She'll be fine in one day. I'll get some food and go see her later."

【lie.】

The deer-headed man was just perfunctory with Tang Yuan and had no intention of visiting the cat lady.

"The ingredients need to be prepared again. I guess you're too late for lunch, so why don't I go help you." Tang Yuan changed the subject knowingly.

"Haha, there's no need for that. I can handle it myself." The deer-headed man refused.

"Why are you trying to be tough? Didn't I do a good job yesterday? I should be able to help you today."

"No, there's really no need for it today." He was extra vigilant today, guarding against letting Tang Yuan enter the kitchen.

When Tang Yuan was about to force his way in, he suddenly found that the cafeteria had become quiet for some time. He turned around and saw that the residents here all raised their heads and paid attention to what was going on with Tang Yuan. Their expressions were serious, as if Tang Yuan wanted to force his way in.

, they will respond immediately.

When Tang Yuan looked at them, the residents looked away and pretended to be looking elsewhere.

"Forget it," Tang Yuan said easily. "You are so good, you should be able to prepare lunch smoothly without my help."

The canteen was noisy again, and the residents continued to do their own things, eating and chatting when they should.

[There is something hidden in the kitchen, it is recommended to find an opportunity to go there.]

Tang Yuan also knows, but the problem has no chance to slip in now.

He gave up temporarily and left the canteen. Instead of taking the elevator, based on yesterday's memory, he came to the stairwell, hoping to find more clues.

During the day, the stairwell was well lit. He walked up the first floor, lowering his head, looking for clues.

"I met the cat lady last night. She rushed out from here. From the time I put down the phone to the time I went downstairs, some time passed. What happened to her during this time?"

[There are shallow footprints on the ground, which are confirmed to be the traces left by the cat lady.]

Tang Yuan squatted down and touched the footprints with his fingers. There was indeed a slight depression. In fact, it was difficult to see the shallow mark here with the naked eye, but the ECHO eye could detect it.

"Can we find where she went last night by following the traces?" Tang Yuan's right eye kept flashing, identifying the footprints on the ground.

The footprints disappeared into the triangular area under the stairs on the first floor.

【There is a door here.】

This door is integrated with the surrounding walls, and it is in a blind spot, so you can't find it without walking past.

The door was locked, and Tang Yuan put his ear against the door.

There seems to be some movement inside.

"That is to say, after the cat lady felt uncomfortable last night, she came directly to this room, did something in it, and met me when she came out."

Boom!

Suddenly the door rang.

Then there was another urgent sound, and something seemed to be hitting the door hard from behind.

"Is there anyone inside?" Tang Yuan decided to ask directly.

The banging on the door stopped, then started again urgently.

"You can't speak?" Tang Yuan continued to ask. "Yes, just hit me once, not twice."

Boom!

"Are you Xiaofang at the front desk? Just bump me once, not twice."

Boom!

Xiaofang is not sick at all, she is locked up in this cellar. Why is she locked up? Does it have anything to do with the fact that she lost control last night?

"Were you forcibly locked up by them?"

Boom!

"Is your life in danger?"

Boom!

The answer over there was very smooth. It seemed that she had regained her senses and was no longer as crazy as she was last night. But why was she still locked up?

[You triggered the hidden mission: rescue Xiaofang before midnight tonight.]

[Do you want to accept it?]

Of course you have to take it.
