Tang Baona's home.

The sofa and coffee table in the living room were full of various printed documents, and Tang Baona was sitting on the sofa, frowning at the notebook on her lap while flipping through some of them.

As for Yang Zhen'er, it was rare to take the initiative to clean up the tableware, and even took it to the kitchen to wash.

After cleaning up the kitchen, Yang Zhen'er walked over, took a small sofa and sat on the edge of the coffee table, supporting her chin with both hands, and frowning.

Tang Baona, who was busy, couldn't help but look up at her friend who lived together, when Yang Zhen'er was next to her, chattering and talking non-stop was the norm, she could easily ignore it, what to do and what to do, it was not normal to be quiet, she couldn't help but pay attention.

"What do you want?" Tang Baona finally couldn't help but ask.

Yang Zhen'er seemed to be waiting for her friend to ask, and immediately replied: "Something is wrong!"

"What's wrong?" said Tang Baona strangely.

"Chef Xiang, something is wrong. Yang Zhen'er said, "I asked Chef Xiang on WeChat in the afternoon, and he said that he hadn't gone to Tongshi Town yet, and was still in Thornton City." ”

"Well, then what's wrong with that?" asked Don Bona.

"When he was going back before, didn't he say that he was going to discuss the matter of the 'Youlong Hotel'?" Yang Zhen'er said.

Tang Baona was puzzled: "He went to Thorn Tong last night, isn't it normal to stay at home for two days and then go to Tongshi Town?"

Yang Zhen'er said: "Nana, what day is it today?"

"What day?" Tang Baona took out her phone and looked at it, "February 14th, the twenty-first day of the first month, Friday, oh, Valentine's Day?"

"Yes, Valentine's Day! If things are not in a hurry in Tongshi Town, why doesn't Chef Xiang stay for Valentine's Day before going?" Yang Zhen'er said, "He should take advantage of this day to ask you out to play and ask you to dinner!"

Tang Baona's eyes widened: "About ...... What are you doing with me, ...... with me?!I'm not his girlfriend."

Yang Zhen'er squinted at her friend, with an expression of "you continue to pretend", and after a while, she said to herself: "Could it be that Chef Xiang just knows your ostrich character, if you stay on such a special day, it is not appropriate not to ask you, and I am afraid that you will not agree, afraid of embarrassment, so I simply excused the matter of Tongshi Town and ran away first?

"Hump your head!" Tang Baona couldn't help it, picked up a pile of documents next to her and threw it at her friend.

Yang Zhen'er tilted her head quickly, and then was smashed into the head, and rolled her head from the sofa pier to the ground with a whimper.

Tang Baona was speechless, she just threw it casually to scare Yang Zhen'er, but she didn't expect this girl to "dodge flexibly" and directly accept it with her face.

Fortunately, it's all paper, and I didn't use any force, so it shouldn't hurt to smash it.

But Yang Zhen'er rubbed her head and sat up, instead of rushing over to "fight" as before, but sitting in a daze, which made Tang Baona worried, got up and reached out to touch her head: "What's wrong, it's too heavy?"

Yang Zhen'er simply leaned her head on Tang Baona's hand, let her help her rub it, and then said thoughtfully: "Nana, have you noticed that Chef Xiang will 'lose contact' for a day or two every few days?"

Tang Baona realized that Yang Zhen'er's brain was fine, and deliberately put her head on her own hands, so she pushed her away with her backhand, frowned, and said: "What's missing, Xiang Kun sometimes has to be busy with his own affairs, and he can't eat or play together, it's normal." ”

"It's not normal, Nana, when we met Chef Xiang, his original company had just closed down and he didn't go to work, why did he have so much to do?"

"At that time, he didn't know us well, of course he didn't play together often, besides, he also had a lot of his own things to do, such as games or something, like this game now, in fact, he started to work on it very early, do you remember the voice reading system?" Tang Baona said.

Yang Zhen'er said to herself: "When we went to play with Chef Xiang later, he often said that he was out on a business trip, and he was not in the service area or turned off when he called. But then I talked to Zhang Qian, and during that time, Chef Xiang was working on their company's project, and she basically couldn't find Chef Xiang, and the people in their company and the team they cooperated with had never met Chef Xiang, so it was very strange......"

"Maybe he took on other jobs at the same time, and he had to go to other places to work with people face-to-face. Tang Baona guessed.

"Also, when we send him a message on WeChat or call him, he often doesn't come back until noon or afternoon, and then says he overslept and doesn't see it. But do you still remember when we went to Tongshi Town to play together? Chef Xiang is a person who can go out for a run and exercise early in the morning when he is out of town and staying in a hotel, how can he often sleep so late?" Yang Zhen'er became more and more energetic as she spoke, reminiscing as she spoke.

"It's also normal, sometimes in order to complete the work, or watch movies, play games, etc., all night, what's so hard to understand...... No, Zhen'er, what do you mean by your speculation and conjecture?" Tang Baona said strangely.

"Have you seen Liu Chuang's photo in the game group, with Brother Bin and Chef Xiang when he was in college?

"It's okay, after all, it's been so many years since I graduated from college, but my hair is gone, and I'm a little stronger, and now I have fitness. Tang Baona said.

"It's not just about universities...... Brother Bin also said that after not seeing Chef Xiang for a few months, he suddenly changed a lot. Yang Zhen'er shook her head and said: "I'm wondering if Chef Xiang suddenly had an adventure after the company went bankrupt, joined some special organization, and then changed a lot." This organization may require members to secretly carry out tasks or something every time, so Chef Xiang will often disappear and lose contact. After completing the quest, Chef Xiang can gain special abilities, such as cooking and wood carving...... Hey, will Chef Xiang return to the thorn this time, not for the sake of the hotel, but to carry out the 'secret person'?"

"Task, you're big!" Tang Baona quickly stretched out her finger and flicked her head, and scolded: "A secret organization that teaches people to cook and do wood carving? ”

Yang Zhen'er rubbed her forehead and looked at her innocently: "Didn't you say it before?" I cook, I clean up, I wash the dishes, and then you can read those documents, and then what you want to say and do tomorrow is all up to you, I just need to shout 'I am the same'?"

"What do you do, don't you order food? Isn't it just packing up the lunch box and throwing it in the trash? There are only two soup bowls, a spoon, and two pairs of chopsticks to wash? Hey, you have nothing to do now, help me take a look, you have done so many years of financial work. Tang Baona said.

"I have nothing to do, I have a lot to do...... I asked Chef Xiang to play a game, if he didn't agree, then maybe he was really on some 'secret mission', by the way, did you say that Chef Xiang would secretly have a relationship with Thorn Tong, and now he is dating someone? Yang Zhener said, really picked up the mobile phone to launch WeChat to Xiang Kun.

After a few minutes, after receiving Xiang Kun's reply, Yang Zhen'er became excited again, put the mobile phone screen in front of Tang Baona, and said: "Nana, you see, I guessed correctly, Xiang Chef said again, 'There is something to do at night'! With his character, if it is a matter at work or at home, he will definitely say it directly, but he only says 'something', but he doesn't say anything, there must be a ghost! It must be doing something secret that we dare not let us know!"

Tang Baona glanced at her, raised her hand and rubbed her hair: "If you don't help me, don't quarrel with me, okay, go to the room to play by yourself, okay?"

Yang Zhen'er was lying on the sofa next to her with her mobile phone, put her legs up on the backrest, and said something while typing: "No, I have to tell Lao Xia about this situation, and let Lao Xia stare at Chef Xiang." ”

After Yang Zhen'er sent a few WeChat messages to her cousin, she explained: "Lao Xia, you must find a way to find Chef Xiang to come out for supper at night, and this task of spying on the military intelligence will be handed over to you!"

A moment later, Xia Libing's reply arrived, and it was the expression of a panda sleeping Zzz.

"Don't sleep! Raise my sister for a thousand days, use my sister for a while, today is your time to repay my dear cousin! Go and help me find out the chef's movements!"

After a few moments, the reply was still the expression of Panda Zzz.

"This is a major event related to your sister Nana's happiness, don't sleep, listen to me, good!"

The reply remains the same, or Panda Zzz.

Yang Zhen'er naturally didn't know that at this time in Thornton City, in the house rented by Xia Libing, it was Xiang Kun who replied to her with Xia Libing's mobile phone.

According to the previous cycle, Xiang Kun's next blood drinking time should be February 15, that is, tomorrow.

The meat rabbits that need to be consumed to drink blood, today he has gone to the good farm with Lao Xia to buy them, and called a small truck to send them over, which are all in the kitchen of Lao Xia's house at this time.

Yes, the place where blood is drunk this time is going to be set at Xia Libing's house. And because I had told my parents before that it was a "business trip", I didn't go home at night, and I didn't need to pretend to sleep, so I stayed at Lao Xia's house directly.

Because he came back to sleep very late last night, and woke up very early in the morning to drive to Zihuan Mountain to pick up Xiang Kun, Lao Xia didn't have much energy today, and he began to feel sleepy after dinner.

Xiang Kun asked her to go to bed first, make up for her sleep tonight, and only then would she have the energy to stay up late tomorrow night.

Although Lao Xia now has a way to enter the "world of consciousness" to stay awake and relieve sleepiness, it is still necessary to recharge his energy and make up for sleep in advance.

Just like Xiang Kun gave his mobile phone to Lao Xia for safekeeping after drinking blood and falling asleep to deal with possible accidents, Xia Libing also handed over his mobile phone to Xiang Kun before going to bed, so as not to have an accident such as the third aunt suddenly coming to the door again, so that he could deal with it for her, and send a WeChat message saying that he was not at home and was outside.

Xiang Kun didn't expect that he didn't receive the third aunt's message, but he first received Yang Zhen'er's conjecture about his "secret organization" and "secret mission".

Xiang Kun couldn't help but feel a little funny, but he didn't expect Yang Zhen'er, who had always been a little confused, to suddenly be sharp.

Not to mention, although the conjectures of the so-called "secret organization" and "secret mission" do not match the facts, her thinking and suspicion direction are really correct.

After using Lao Xia's mobile phone to deal with Yang Zhen'er in a simulated way, Xiang Kun used his mobile phone to flip through the information sent by Alice for a while, and at about two o'clock in the morning, he began to sense the chopsticks on Lao Xia's pillow to guide the dream.

This is also what he had discussed with Lao Xia before, and in the second half of the night, he began to fall asleep, and Lao Xia triggered a "dream within a dream".

As for whose dream it triggered, to be honest, he and Lao Xia don't know for the time being, anyway, the intermediary that triggered the dream was on the windowsill on a certain floor of the dormitory, and the one who triggered the dream must be someone in the dormitory.

In the afternoon, Xiang Kun touched the vicinity of the sub-bureau, wrapped a "black circle graffiti" around a "super-linked" ball, and shot it with a slingshot onto the edge of the windowsill of a window in the sub-bureau's dormitory.

He wants to use this method to "call the police on his dreams".

Give the police a reminder to go to Zihuan Mountain, find the corpses of those victims of "mutant parasites", let their families and friends know their information, and don't continue to be placed in that deserted cave.
