The canteen was used by 'Chef' Manella as his own kitchen, as well as his pantry.

On a table in the cafeteria, there was a pile of miscellaneous items such as keys and cards, which might have the identification cards needed for the task, but there was not enough time left for Bai Ye to find it, so he had to start from other aspects.

"The uniforms on these corpses are different from those of the researchers?"

Bai Ye's gaze returned to the pile of broken corpses, and he noticed that some clothes had been taken off from the corpses piled up next to it.

There are also differences in the color and style of these clothes, which can be divided into three categories.

The earthy yellow one-piece for the subject, the white for the researcher, and the rest for the dark blue uniform.

Bai Ye guessed that these dark blue uniforms should be the uniform of the supervisors in the living quarters.

As if he had thought of something, his gaze returned to the pile of clutter on the dining table.

On closer inspection, nearly 50 percent of the composition of the pile of miscellaneous items is a uniform gray iron key.

"There's a room in the living area with an iron door closed, and one of those keys must have been used to open the door."

From the moment he found the miniature tape recorder that didn't have a battery in it, Bai Ye immediately guessed that the battery would most likely require him to remove it from something.

Looking at the scenes he walked through, only the electric baton in the room with the iron gate in the living area could have a battery.

So at the beginning of this whole puzzle solving session, he needs to get the iron gate first......

Bai Ye picked through the pile of miscellaneous items at random, picked up a gray iron key, and immediately noticed that there was a line of engraved numbered numbers on the handle of the key.

"The number on the key corresponds to the door of the room in the living area, right?"

So, as long as he knew the number on the iron gate, he would be able to find the correct one from the pile of keys?

"These keys are before coming here...... It's definitely in the hands of those who oversee it. ”

So which key corresponds to which door, these regulators should know the best about the situation.

Thinking of this, Bai Ye approached the pile of clothes and quickly picked out the uniforms of the supervisors mixed inside.

There were only ten blue uniforms, and although there were no clues on the surface, it at least narrowed down the search area.

Next, Bai Ye picked out some of the ten pieces of clothing that were seriously worn, and moved them aside to rule them out, and finally only four pieces were left that looked quite complete, and the scope of the search was narrowed down again.

He carefully looked through the remaining clothes, and then found a number plate from three of them, and the numbers on the brand numbered 5069, 7741, and 3398 respectively.

In the pocket of the fourth garment was a small note with a simple but somewhat tongue-twisting sentence written on it like a memo:

'The key to the equipment room was left in one of the rooms, but I forgot the number of that room, I only remember that the 5069 key could open the doors that 7741 could not open, and 3398 could open the doors of 5069 and 7741, but not all the doors. ’

"In that sense...... Do you have to use two keys at the same time to open a door? ”

Bai Ye quickly deciphered the meaning of the note.

"The 5069 key and the 7741 key cannot be used at the same time, and all the rooms that have left the equipment room key behind may require a combination of 5069 3398 or 7741 3398 to open."

Among them, 3398 can't open all the doors, which means that it can only fit a few of the doors that 5069 and 7741 can open...... In this way, I only need to find the door that 3398 can open, and the search area can be further narrowed. ”

……

The familiar sound of pieces of iron colliding could be heard in the hallway outside the room, and dull footsteps were approaching the cafeteria.

Bai Ye had already prepared to hide under a workbench that was relatively close to the entrance, so that he might be able to find an opportunity to slip away while the 'cook' Manella was busy with other things.

The footsteps came to the door, and after a pause, Bai Ye heard Manella outside the house muttering something indistinctly.

Then the door of the cafeteria was pushed open, and Manella's searchlight-like green eyes were the first to appear in the dark cracks of the door, looking eerie and terrifying.

Bai Ye maintained a cautious posture and lowered his breathing rate at the same time, and there were technical posts in the game forum saying that some of the player's detailed behaviors would increase the concealment effect of the cautious posture, including suppressing his own breathing.

Manella carried a large, bloody pouch on his back, and his arched back made him look like a prawn.

He seemed to notice something unusual about his territory, and stopped and looked around.

"Ah~A little mouse came into my kitchen to steal food~"

He spoke in a muffled, slightly shrill voice, then walked briskly to the cooking room and rested the large pocket behind his back on the floor.

He soon walked out of the cooking room again, and Bai Ye noticed that this guy had a long, sharp kitchen knife in his hand, which shimmered in the faint light of the kitchen, and reflected the pair of eyes that bloomed green.

"There's no room for filthy rats in a clean kitchen."

Manella muttered loudly and began to search the kitchen.

"How did you find mine?"

Bai Ye said depressedly in his heart, he asked himself that the concealment work was done very well, and the other party easily discovered him, it is very likely that there is some aspect of the system setting.

He judged Manela's path and adjusted his hiding position slightly, so as not to show the horse's feet in the other party's line of sight.

"Despicable rat, I saw you, and you hide here."

Manela walked between the tables, her eyes shining like searchlights, her mouth muttering like a song.

"Not here, let me go to the next place."

The kitchen knife in his hand dragged on the table, making a 'hiss-la-la' sound.

Bai Ye lightly moved a position and came to the position facing the exit of the cafeteria.

It's less than five meters away from the hallway outside the cafeteria, but a door that opens in both directions makes it extremely difficult to cross.

"It's almost impossible to get out of here without alarming Manera."

Bai Ye hid behind the obstacle and observed his opponent's every move, and he noticed that Manella had stepped out of the dining table area and began to look farther in the direction of the corpse pile.

"Then I'll rush out of here when he's the furthest in a straight line, so I should be able to buy a little time to get back to the living quarters."

There are nearly twenty rooms in the living area, and when the time comes, Bai Ye only needs to hide in a certain room at will, and it is estimated that it will not be so easy for Manela to find him.

"That's it."
