Chapter 23: Spying Secretly
"What are you doing here?" The man spoke slowly, his tone cold and hoarse.
"Come and find food for the patient, this is the patient's request." Ji Xiaoyue said simply and clearly.
"It's not time to eat yet, there's nothing to eat." The tone was full of heavy impatience, and the man's greedy eyes looked at Ji Xiaoyue and Tao Nai, "If you want me to help you, you have to pay for it." ”
"We can do it ourselves." Taunai whispered, looking weak and timid with his eyes downcast, "We just need to borrow the kitchen." The head chef can rest assured that I have already greeted Nurse Red before I came. ”
Ji Xiaoyue couldn't help but glance at the girl beside her in surprise.
From the moment she met the head chef with a fierce face, she clearly felt that the girl next to her was tense and seemed to be very scared.
She just didn't expect that Tao Nai would actually use the weakest and incompetent tone to say something full of threats.
Generally, newcomers who have just entered the dungeon, if they do not have extremely strong psychological qualities, no one dares to threaten NPCs.
"It's okay to use the kitchen." The man was really afraid of Nurse Hong, and his cold gaze lingered back and forth on Tao Nai and Ji Xiaoyue's bodies unwillingly, "I'm going to go out, you can only use the kitchen, you can't go to other places in the canteen, otherwise, you will bear the consequences." ”
In the end, a grim smile erupted from the man's meaty face.
Taunai nodded and said with a sincere face, "We will definitely not go anywhere else." ”
The man dragged the sack and walked away.
Tao Nai looked at the fat back, and only then did he want to breathe a sigh of relief, when he saw the man suddenly stop and turn his head to look at her.
The heart instantly raised the throat and eyes, and the girl blinked her clear eyes, and did not shy away from the man's gaze.
"I say......" The man licked his lips and looked at Tao Nai as if he was going to snag him away, "Have we met somewhere before?" ”
For a moment, a chill filled all of Taunnai's nerves.
Sure enough, the butcher on a rainy night who played a game of cat and mouse with her that night was this man.
But judging from the scar on his neck, it was in the state of an old wound from a long time ago.
"Didn't we just meet in the cafeteria yesterday?" Taunai looked confused.
"Really? I forgot. The man said very naturally, and then dragged the sack and walked briskly.
The nerves that had been tense all over her body finally relaxed, and the girl's shoulders relaxed.
"The dungeon world has its own set of rules, and NPCs can't kill people casually if the player doesn't touch the death rules." Ji Xiaoyue couldn't help but remind Tao Nai, "So you don't need to be so afraid of NPCs. ”
Taunai nodded, "Let's go in." ”
The kitchen is located right at the back of the cafeteria hall.
Even though they were mentally prepared when they came in, Tao Nai and Ji Xiaoyue were still hit hard.
In the dirty and messy space, the floor was greasy with a thick layer of oil, the walls were pitch black, the pots and pans were all messed up in one place, there were chopped bones and rotting meat on the boards, and flies were flying.
The air was filled with a disgusting smell of blood and carrion.
But luckily, the fridge had all the ingredients Taunai needed.
An hour later.
Tao Nai handed a freshly steamed egg cake to Ji Xiaoyue, "Sister Xiaoyue, you can take this back to your patient first." I'll have to wait for the next pot to cook. ”
"Is it okay for you to stay here by yourself?" Ji Xiaoyue frowned and asked, "You're not afraid alone?" ”
Taunai snorted, "Yes, I'm afraid." But if I don't run around, I shouldn't be in danger, and you don't want your patients to wait. Otherwise, it won't be good if he complains about you. ”
"Alright then, I'll go first."
Ji Xiaoyue's patient has mania, and she is indeed relatively impatient, she glanced at Tao Nai deeply.
"See you in the dormitory in the evening."
Taunai smiled and nodded.
Ji Xiaoyue took the plate and hurriedly walked out.
After seeing Ji Xiaoyue's departing back completely walk out of the kitchen, the smile on Tao Nai's face disappeared suddenly, and he immediately turned around and walked towards the door in the depths of the kitchen.
9210 live broadcast room, ghost audience:
[There's another person who is confused by the cute appearance.] Innocent little Lori or something,It's really too easy for people to let down their guard.。 】
[Hahahaha...... What is well-behaved and sensible is pretending, people are just deliberately splitting people away in order to find clues. 】
[I can't stand it. Not long after escaping death, the player began to die again. How capable did she think she was? This time I don't believe she doesn't overturn! 】
Standing still in front of the small door, Taunai found that the door was hidden and had leaked a crack.
Through the gap, you can see that the room inside is a bedroom, and there is no one at this time.
Pushing the door open, Taunai walked inside.
It's just about ten square meters of space, with a single bed and a dilapidated wardrobe, and no other furniture.
As he quickly searched the room, Taunai pondered the question.
It is now certain that the place where she was taken by White Rabbit before was the first floor of the madhouse, which is where she is now, but there was an error in time.
She must have been in a little further back in time than the place she had been taken to, so that the wound on the butcher's neck on the rainy night would look like an old wound, and the bloodstain marks she had left on the walls would become so faint.
It seems that the mirror in the white rabbit's room has the ability to warp time.
After this series of events, she began to wonder if the girl in Li Xiaoming's photo was Xiaoai.
Whether it's Xiao Ai's diary, Nurse Hong's work diary, or the rules of the madhouse, they all emphasize things about "another me".
But looking at Xiao Ai's diary, you may think that she has schizophrenia, but now Tao Nai feels that she was not crazy at the beginning, and Xiao Ai should indeed see another her.
That is, her twin sister.
So is the girl in the photo Xiaoai or her twin sister?
This madhouse hides a huge secret, and she has to figure it out in order to complete her main quest.
However, now she feels that she has only scratched the tip of the iceberg of this secret, and there is not much time left for her.
The main quest had a time limit of seven days, and now there are only four days left.
Thinking of this, Taunai's search sped up a bit.
She was too serious to notice that a pair of eyes were watching her every move through the crack in the door.
