The "mouse" is a blessing.

Even Song Lan, who has always believed in science, had a metaphysical idea after returning to the hotel.

He never expected that this eucalyptus, who had nothing to do with the "mouse" eight poles, would make new progress because of the words of the other party when he confessed leniency to Lu Xiang.

He soon learns that "Mouse" was living on the third floor at the time—which happened to be one of the rooms the three of them had chosen.

Aoife said that she was only responsible for bringing the "rats" here, and that the Eschenweig Army informants would pick him up here, and the only problem now was that neither the informants nor the "rats" were gone, and it was difficult to find them anytime soon.

And when he and Wind Chime break into the place where the "rats" once fought, an unexpected thing happens.

According to the description of the big turnip, the spicy chicken who was supposed to be sleeping in the bed disappeared, and they searched the room only to find that he had somehow hidden under the bed.

What's even more weird is that after hiding under the bed, he fell asleep again, and he slept very deeply, and he couldn't wake up even if he was pulled and pushed by the big radish head.

This is almost the same symptom as the head of Yang Village, but he did not leave the house and fled to the city, but hid under the bed.

"We're finished."

The effort was fruitless, and the big turnip head fell to the floor in despair.

At first, it was the head of Sheep Village, and now it is the turn of Spicy Chicken, and if it goes on like this, sooner or later they will die in this town because of sleepwalking.

The joy of making money has long disappeared without a trace, and even if you can make more money, you have to spend your life.

"Rest assured, we will do everything we can to keep you safe."

Song Lan comforted the other party.

He was serious, the reason why he asked Lu Xiang was that on the one hand, he was interested in the mystery of the town's disappearance over the years, and on the other hand, it was also to create a good living environment for the residents of the town, these people were important builders of the town, but before he started working, he was scared half to death by these bizarre phenomena.

You're not going to let people build a town.

In this regard, the swarm is angry, and the consequences are serious.

Unlike those who have no intention of offending and are afraid to avoid it, no matter who is behind the trouble, the swarm has always had only one purpose - to offend intentionally, and to do it if you don't accept it.

You come out for me, and you'll see if the Devourer bites you or not, and you're done.

"We're cursed, we're all going to die here sooner or later!"

The big radish head didn't seem to listen at all, and this time even the head of Yangcun looked solemn.

He does have many plans to build a small town and resell the Void goods for profit, but all plans are based on the premise that they can't die here.

Song Lan had to ask the wind chime to take the two of them and the sleeping spicy chicken to the next room.

Without the big turnip head spreading negative energy on the side, he was finally able to concentrate on investigating the room that looked like it was no different from the next door.

After half an hour of research, he finally found a secret compartment behind a strange socket on the back of the bedside table, which contained a strange architectural plan that looked similar to an inn, but with many more parts that didn't seem to exist.

The floor plan was marked with extremely detailed notes, which seemed familiar, and in addition to the floor plan, Song Lan also found a post-it note with mold growing on the surface.

Lu Xiang mentioned that Captain Kate has a habit of handwriting clues, she has always been unable to trust the Internet, thinking that the company's hackers will secretly manipulate and guide her to the wrong conclusion, this habit has accompanied Kate law enforcement for almost her entire career, until she came to the hotel and was declared missing, and also wrote the clues of her investigation on a post-it note.

Perhaps even Kate herself could not have imagined that the words she wrote on post-it notes would be a revelation for another person who came to this room years later.

After Song Lan cleaned up the mold, she carefully read the contents of the post-it note.

The post-it note mentions the reason why Captain Kate came to the town to investigate, and she has been there all these years

Secretly investigating the large-scale disappearance of people in the 17th district, not long ago, a mysterious letter provided her with a clue, and she followed the clue all the way to this small town far from the city.

Over the past few decades, the townspeople have become accustomed to missing persons, and bizarre tales have become a part of their lives, at first they will look for the missing people, and then everyone will become so numb to this that they don't even bother to post missing notices, and just write the names of the missing people on the local list of missing people.

And the floor plan of this inn was also prepared by the mysterious person for her in advance.

Kate wrote on a post-it note that she thought the mysterious man knew everything that was going on in the town and seemed to just want to get the truth out through her hand.

The post-it note disproved the department's mainstream speculation, in fact, Captain Kate was not attacked and destroyed when she walked into the room, and she used the secret passage provided for her by the floor plan to live in the hotel for a week, but for some reason, she deliberately avoided the town's residents and the hotel's surveillance.

Seven days later, Kate investigates a mysterious organization called the Dream Thieves, and she thinks she has finally found their den.

This is the end of the recording, and there is no follow-up.

Song Lan speculated that Captain Kate was probably discovered by the other party when he was investigating the den of the "Dream Thief" alone, and he encountered an accident.

He immediately thought of the strange dream mentioned by the head of the sheep village, he and the missing people had left the town under the guidance of the dream, and they were all asleep when these things happened, and now, the same symptoms appeared on the body of Spicy Chicken.

The secret passage on the floor plan explains how he left the inn under the noses of himself and the wind chimes.

Don't......

The people of that organization are actually still alive, and they have been using the secret passages of the inn all along?

From the incident of Aoife and the "Mouse", it is not difficult to see that the Dream Thief is very likely to have something to do with the resistance from the "outside", and perhaps they sent the "Mouse" here because the Dream Thief can help him when the coalition government comes to him.

The only thing that puzzled Song Lan was that judging from the follow-up behavior of the "mouse", it seemed that he failed to get in touch with the people of that organization after moving in, which led to him being arrested by Lu Xiang again like a headless fly.

He immediately informed Lu Xiang of the notes he had investigated, and Lu Xiang decided to use Princess Lieyang to see if he could contact the cadres of the Essinweg Army and get more clues about the Dream Thief.

After all this was done, Song Lan sat down on the bed.

Kate mentions the mysterious man more than once on a post-it note, and she speculates that the other person may not be a person, but a powerful organization that knows a lot of the inside story but is unable to reveal the truth in person for this reason.

After learning of the existence of the mysterious man, she suddenly remembered something.

In fact, the gang members of District 17 have planned assassination attempts against her more than once, but in the end, the plan has fallen through due to some unexpected "coincidence", and she has been murdered again and again.

She thought it was lucky, but it didn't seem to be the case.

So on a page of post-it notes, she left a question that haunted her heart at that time.

She has always been steadfast in her belief that she is doing her duty as an enforcer and fighting for justice.

However, could the justice she firmly believes in just the result of an invisible hand pushing behind the scenes?

However, this time, the mysterious man failed to save her as before, and the question she left on the post-it note became an eternal mystery.

For no reason, Song Lan thought of Lu Xiang.

Judging from Kate's past deeds, she and Lu Xiang are almost the same kind of people.

Because of his dedication, he was regarded as a thorn in the side of the Foster family and the company.

What's even more frightening is that not long after Captain Kate's disappearance, Lu Xiang was transferred to the 17th District by the coalition government, and finally challenged the Foster family in a more radical way

The absolute authority of the seventeenth arrondissement.

Is all this really a coincidence?
