In front of me is an antique long table, it should be some years, there are various marks on the legs, there are a few more conspicuous ones, it looks like cat's paw prints.

Behind the table sat a middle-aged man in a brown official uniform, with long hair tied up and a neat official hat.

"Daddy! She must have stolen Ahri! ”

On the left, a girl with a single bun angrily accused.

She was dressed in a water-pink dress, with a delicate and intricate style, and a jeweled jingle on her head, which made her identity extraordinary at first glance.

Xu Zhibai knelt on the ground, his eyes were only level with the table, and he had to look up if he went up.

[Identity card: The little maid of the Baili family. 】

[You and the maid Xiaoyue are responsible for taking care of the diet and daily life of the cats of Baili adults, and providing a comfortable living environment for their cats. 】

[Last night, Xiaoyue had an uncomfortable stomach and was taking care of her colleagues, so you went to the cattery alone to feed the cats, and when you went back, you contracted a cold and fell ill. Unexpectedly, early this morning, the cat was gone. 】

[Obtain the Sickness and Weakness buff, the HP is reduced by 90%, and the current HP is 30.] Note! If the HP value is less than 10, the player will fall into a coma. 】

[Main quest 1: Explore the cattery.] 】

"Our family is so good to you! You'd do such a thing! The girl jumped to her feet in a hurry, "Where the hell did you hide Ahri!" ”

The one kneeling behind him should be the maid Xiaoyue, who is crying with pear blossoms and rain at the moment, Chu Chu is pitiful.

"My lord, I—I'm nothing...... I don't know! Spare your life......"

There were dried blood stains in his palms, a hot pain on his back, breathing became extremely difficult, his limbs were sore and heavy, and he couldn't lift his strength.

Xu Zhibai's first feeling was truth.

Whether it's the scene in front of her or the feeling of her body, it's so real that it doesn't feel like a game, but like reality.

But the mechanical voice in her ears reminded her that this was a game and that she was just a player.

Xu Zhibai looked at the clues provided by the dungeon, and was a little puzzled, this time he didn't release the task.

You must know that the last copy gave her a task as soon as it came, and she couldn't be directly assimilated into a part of the copy.

The pain made her mind feel extra clear, and she raised her head and looked directly at the Baili Lord in her seat.

"My lord, the first six hours of disappearance are the golden period of searching, and the longer it drags on, the less likely it is to find Ahri."

"We maids are most familiar with Ahri's habits, instead of pressing us here and beating us severely, it is better for us to find Ahri and make amends."

"When you find Ahri, you have to fight and kill, and it's not too late for you to send it down, what do you think?"

There was a moment of silence inside.

Bang –

Lord Baili put down the white porcelain teacup in his hand, and the strength was not heavy, but it shocked the hearts of the people present.

He put away the relaxed tea drinking posture just now, sat up straight, his sharp eyes were firmly fixed on Xu Zhibai, who was kneeling in the hall, and his deep voice made everyone's hearts tremble: "Are you teaching the official to do things?" ”

"When did our Baili family have such a slave who doesn't understand the rules?"

He swept his eyes, and when he saw it, he gave orders to the people around him, and Xu Zhibai said with a cold face.

"If the adults are the ones who can't listen to the advice, it's better to kill me now, this hundred miles of family, don't stay."

The air froze instantly, and a heavy dead silence weighed heavily on everyone's hearts.

After a long time, Lord Baili chuckled: "Heh, you are very sharp-toothed." ”

He smiled, and everyone below couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Daddy." The girl in the pink skirt interjected at the right time, and her soft and glutinous voice was coquettish with a slight cry, sweeping away the haze just now, "I miss Ahri, does it have anything to eat outside, does anyone play with it?" ”

These words were actually ingeniously given Lord Baili a step down.

After all, a court official was reprimanded by a low-level maid in the house, and this face must not be passable, this Baili miss did not say that she agreed with Xu Zhibai, but secretly shifted the topic to find Ahri as soon as possible.

Anyone who has a little brain knows that he feels sorry for his daughter, so he quickly sent someone to find the cat.

Sure enough, Lord Baili's face softened slightly, and he glanced at Xu Zhibai steadily, and ordered: "Today, if you can't find Ahri, you can come and see you!" ”

With that, he got up and brushed his sleeves away.

Miss Baili on the side pulled up the two kneeling maids one by one, and comforted them with a light smile: "My father just looks fierce, don't be afraid, go find Ahri." ”

Before leaving, she also winked at the stunned two.

Xiao Yue flattered and froze in place.

Xu Zhibai felt that something was stuffed in his palm, and he couldn't take it out to see it now in front of everyone.

She was thinking about whether there were four identities to choose from before entering the dungeon, and whether all four of them could be players.

The memories and sister in the previous quest are fake, and there are no other players, so it is impossible to determine whether the players are playing solo or may be assigned to a single quest.

Oh no, she still met someone.

"Let's go." She patted the maid beside her, trying to squeeze out a smile, seeing Xiao Yue's even more frightened expression, she pursed the corners of her mouth depressedly, "Let's go to the cattery first and see if we can find any clues." Time is pressing, hurry. ”

If she could, Xu Zhibai would be more willing to act alone, but she was not familiar with the terrain of Baili Mansion, and if she wanted to complete the task quickly, she lacked someone to lead the way.

The girl slipped into her palm a small note, a short sentence: Come to my room.

The note was crumpled and handwritten, apparently written in a hurry.

Facts have proved that Xu Zhibai's choice is very wise, the road in Baili Mansion twists and turns, turning around, as if he wants to make people lost.

"That's the front."

This wing room was obviously different from the others, it was a dull pitch black, and the two tall poplar trees outside the door, the body of which was painted black, seemed to block the daylight, and even the light was dimmed.

The chirping of insects, the sound of the wind, the sound of movement and conversation from time to time all came to an abrupt end.

It is as if there is a clear boundary separating this place from Baili Mansion.

"Squeak-"

The heavy door slowly opened, and the cold, damp wind swept out of the room, and the thick fishy smell stirred up the stomach.

There was still daylight outside, but inside the room was a heavy darkness, and the light outside the door could only illuminate the area three feet in front of him, and then there was complete darkness inside.

Xu Zhibai stepped into the room, and when he glanced at his side, he trembled violently.

The surroundings were empty, and the maid Xiaoyue disappeared without knowing when.

Jingle bells!

The crisp copper ringtone suddenly rose in the silence, like a phone ringing at midnight, inexplicably with a cold atmosphere, which made people feel a chill down their spines.

Xu Zhibai raised his foot slightly, and the tip of his shoe was against the copper bell that she kicked and rolled to the side.

She pulled a silk scarf out of her sleeve pocket and carefully wrapped it around the brass bell.

【Ding! Congratulations on acquiring the important hidden item, Ahri's Brass Bell! 】

[Trigger Hidden Mission: Repair the Brass Bell.] 】

Hidden missions?

Fix?

This thing rings so well, and it's not broken, how can I fix it?

Wipe off the dust on the surface, the surface of the copper bell is smooth, the workmanship is exquisite, and there is a small ring at the upper end, which should be used for stringing ropes.

Therefore, when it comes to repairing, it may refer to finding the rope that strings the copper bell and restoring the copper bell.

This brass bell can't be received in the backpack for the time being, so it may be useful in this dungeon.

There were a lot of gadgets scattered in the house, and just walking to the lamppost at the door, Xu Zhibai stepped on something several times, and finally lit the oil lamp.

The moment the lights came on, Xu Zhibai's pupils shrank suddenly.

On the pitch-black marble floor, the blood stains in the big pool are like spider webs, and it is almost impossible to put your feet down.

There is a six-pointed star totem in the center, the blood stains on it have dried up and are red and black, just by looking at it, you can feel its strange attraction, as if it can see through the demon of people's hearts, with the fame and fortune that the world is chasing, longing, and tempting.

And on closer inspection, those cobweb-like blood stains seem to be still flowing slowly.

A cold shiver slowly crept up his spine, and there was a twitch in his stomach.

Xu Zhibai's scalp was numb, and he subconsciously wanted to retreat.

Bang!

The half-open door closed automatically, and the cold almost blew out the oil lamp.
