Chapter 76 Hypnosis (1)

=====

Later, until he returned home, Yi Han kept thinking about this matter.

Logically speaking, a player who has just started a business with a friend should be in a state of excitement and full of fighting spirit, and should not suddenly get tired of living and want to reincarnate. But later, when I asked my former boss, he said that he did not notice anything abnormal about the partner during that period, but he just left suddenly without saying a word.

"You mean, it's possible that he didn't mean to leave so suddenly?" The former boss was also a little surprised and said hesitantly, "Although I also felt something was wrong at the time...but he did tell me that himself, and he didn't seem to be coerced."

"I'm just guessing and can't be sure, but this matter is indeed strange. Maybe there is some hidden story behind it." Yi Han lowered his eyes and thought for a while, and finally decided to ask a27 - since it concerns his own kitchen utensils and recipes, he dare not take it lightly.

"If a ghost employee wants to reincarnate, does he need to go through some procedures? Will the system carefully confirm that this is the employee's wish before leaving?" Yi Han opened the chat bar, thought about it, typed this line of words and sent it over.

Unexpectedly, a replied in 27 seconds.

a27: "Why are you asking this????? Are you leaving???"

a27: "No! I haven't waited for your store to open yet, please don't leave, QAQ"

Yi Han: "...I'm not leaving, I'm just asking."

a27: "!!! Really? That's great! I was scared to death!"

After sending a series of emoticons, he suddenly remembered Yi Han's question.

a27: "If an employee wants to leave, of course he needs to confirm with the company that this is his own wish. This is very important and he needs to sign it in person! There are indeed procedures, but they are not complicated. As long as he is sure that he really doesn't want to stay here anymore, the company will not force him to stay."

a27: "Why are you asking this all of a sudden? It's not you who wants to leave, but your friend who wants to leave? Curious.jpg"

Yi Han looked at a27's question and chose his words to reply, "Yes, there is someone I know who left a while ago. Because it was so sudden, and I didn't see him have such thoughts before, so I have some doubts."

"Ah... That's it," a27 replied, "When you mention that, I remember the cook uncle who was tired of living. He suddenly said he wanted to leave, and everyone thought it was strange. He asked if he had encountered something and couldn't get over it, but he didn't say anything and just left. We all guessed that he must have been secretly dating some old lady without telling anyone, and then he broke up... Brother, you are not that old, and your friend should be very young too. Could he be...?"

"Impossible," the former boss suddenly said when he saw a27's reply. "He was very socially anxious. He didn't interact with anyone except me. It is said that he was inseparable from the elder who taught him cooking. He had almost no friends, let alone a girlfriend... And we are both newcomers who have just become NPCs. We don't know anyone among humans or ghosts."

Yi Han nodded, turned his gaze back to the part where a27 mentioned their cook, and frowned unconsciously again.

Although these two people are probably unrelated, but... they are both chefs, and they both left so suddenly. Is it a coincidence? Or is there really a connection between them? Could they disappear for the same reason?

"Is there any way to let me see the scenes that happened in the past?" After thinking for a long time, Yi Han still felt that he should investigate this matter thoroughly - now that he has inherited the recipes and kitchen utensils that can make the most delicious dishes in the infinite world, he is currently the most eye-catching chef. If he doesn't find out how the two top chefs disappeared before, if this incident happens to him soon, he will not be without any precautions.

After sending the message this time, a27 replied a little later, "Brother, it seems that there is no such method as you mentioned, but there is a method that seems to be able to solve your doubts. I just asked the big brother next to me, and he said that we have a colleague who is very good at metaphysical hypnosis. He can use the energy left on people or objects to bring people into dreams that can give relevant hints. It is said that he can answer any question, and many colleagues even go to him for help when they lose something!"

"Is there such a person? Then how do I contact him?" Yi Han couldn't help but become interested and asked.

"His employee level is quite high. Because he has this ability, it seems that he is specifically managing a dream level. If you want to find him, I can ask for his employee number and send it to you," a27 said, "Brother, wait for my message, and then you can contact each other via text message. After he sets it up over there, you can be matched to his level next time you match - I heard that he is very easy to talk to, and he will definitely help you!"

"Well, I'll leave it to you then." After Xiaojiu helped introduce the old Chinese doctor last time, Yi Han once again felt that having friends around made things much more convenient.

It must be said that a27 is not only warm-hearted, but also very efficient. A few hours later, Yi Han received the employee number of the hypnotist.

The friend request was approved smoothly. The other party was very easy to talk to as a27 said. He didn't ask too much about what he was going to do. He just said he wanted to ask a question and then brought related items into the level - Yi Han wanted to know the reason why the previous owner of the utensils left, so naturally he just needed to bring kitchen utensils and recipes.

They agreed to match at 8 o'clock tonight, and Yi Han thanked him.

"You're welcome. My level is an independent single-player copy that can be replicated infinitely. It doesn't make any difference how many players I receive every day. It's not a big deal." The other party had a very Buddhist flower avatar on his head and smiled gently.

After the two finished their conversation, Yi Han made some simple preparations, and when the agreed time came, he called Jian Lin and Xiao Hei and started matching together.

…

[Level Name: Puzzle Dream (Three Stars)]

[Number of players: ?]

[Level Description: In the dream, avoid death traps and find the answers you need. ]

[Clearance Reward: 400 points (basic points)]

[Failure penalty: Stay in the dream forever, unable to wake up. ]

After the scene switched to darkness, Yi Han opened his eyes and found himself in a European-style restaurant. There was mist floating around, indicating that he was only in his dream.

Yi Han and Jian Lin sat side by side at one side of the dining table, with a boy in his early teens next to them. When Yi Han looked over, he grinned foolishly, and his honey-colored eyes looked very familiar.

"...Xiao Hei?" Yi Han's heart moved and he asked tentatively.

The little boy immediately nodded like a pug and even rubbed against me: "Hehehehehe."

Yi Han: ...

Well, it seems that it was temporarily given a human appearance. But Xiao Hei itself has not yet reached the ability to transform into a human form, so even if it looks like a human, its behavior is still animal behavior... To be precise, it is a bit, stupid and eye-catching.

The three of them sat on one side of the dining table, occupying only one tenth of the long tabletop.

Yi Han looked up and found that the person sitting opposite the table was also an acquaintance.

The witch girl was wearing pajamas like a little princess, with long hair and a beautiful colorful headband. Next to her, Wang Linlin, the low-level little green tea who was severely bullied by Yi Han in the "underground supermarket", was also dressed up and propped up her head to wait for the meal.

This level is a single-player level, and the scenes are made up of people and objects in the player's memory. The two people in front are obviously not the real witch and the little green tea.

I don’t know what the next plot will be.

Yi Han casually looked around at the furnishings and waited patiently.

After a while, footsteps and the sound of a metal cart were heard in the corridor outside the door. A moment later, a waitress appeared at the door of the restaurant.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting, guests." The waiter approached with a smile, pushing the food cart. He bowed politely and began to serve the dishes.

The cart was very small - it looked like it was modeled after the small cart Yi Han had seen in the "Prison" level - but she kept bringing out dishes from it until the entire table was full.

The dining table was very wide and long. Excluding the space barely left for the five guests to place their plates and tableware, the rest of the place was filled. A rough count showed that there were at least a hundred plates of food, all of which were colorful and tempting. The room was filled with the rich aroma of delicious food.

"Wow, this is so rich! It smells so good!" The witch girl widened her eyes and her face turned red with joy.

"Then let's eat! I won't be polite." Wang Linlin was also very happy. She picked up the fork in one hand and the chopsticks in the other, and started eating immediately without caring about anyone else.

"Let's see what's going on first." Silly Xiao Hei really had no clue and followed the two "girls" to start eating. Yi Han quickly stretched out his hand to stop him from stuffing food into his mouth.

"Avoid death traps" was the system's reminder at the beginning of the level. Apparently, in this dream constructed from Yi Han's memory, there were also many death crises.

"Guest, why don't you eat? Is there none of your favorite dishes? Just tell me what you want to eat and I'll ask the kitchen to make it right away." Yi Han was carefully observing the conditions of the two "sisters" when he heard the maid asking eagerly.

"No, these are enough. I'll eat them later." Yi Han agreed casually.

"Then please eat quickly. It will not taste good if it gets cold." The maid continued to urge him, with a smile on her face but her eyes fixed on him, as if she would always stay by his side to urge him on unless Yi Han took action.

Yi Han looked at her strangely, then turned his head to glance at the witch and Wang Linlin. The two girls ate very quickly, and had already eaten several dishes. Fortunately, they didn't find anything strange in the food, nor were they poisoned. The food seemed to be fine.

——Then what is this maid urging for?

To be on the safe side, Yi Han, Jian Lin and Xiao Hei each drank a bowl of detoxifying soup before slowly picking up their chopsticks.

The maid standing by watched them drink the wine they brought with them, but did not stop them.

"Where is the danger in this dream? Where is the clue?" Yi Han thought to himself, carefully picked up a piece of vegetable and slowly put it into his mouth.

Surprisingly, the dish tasted pretty good, not inferior to the food produced by Yihan Iron Pot.

No dumplings turned into bugs halfway through, no fingers turned out between the plates. After swallowing the leaves, Yi Han waited for a while and didn't feel any discomfort.

The dishes seemed really ok.

So where is the trap in this level?
