Chapter 75 The Tunnel Leading to an Unknown Destination
The Monster Restaurant has 30 floors. Bai Xiao and Wei Shuiyang took the elevator to the second floor first. The two walked around the second floor and did not find anything unusual.
After getting back on the elevator, the two looked at each other and Wei Shuiyang spoke first: "It's too slow for two people to search together. Let's split up. I'll be in charge of floors 3-16, and you'll be in charge of floors 17-30. Each of you will search 14 floors, and then we'll meet up in the waiting room on the first floor to share information."
Bai Xiao: "What if you find useful information in floors 3-16 that you are in charge of, but you tell me you don't?"
Although Wei Shuiyangyang shares information with her, so far their exchanges have been one-for-one.
Wei Shui Yangyang suggested that each person be responsible for 14 floors, which seemed fair. However, if Bai Xiao didn't find any useful information on floors 17-30, while Wei Shui Yangyang found it on floors 3-16 under his responsibility, Bai Xiao felt that Wei Shui Yangyang wouldn't tell her the information he found, because she wouldn't have any useful information to exchange with him.
Wei Shuiyang said helplessly, "Alright, let's look for it together then."
The two spent nearly three hours searching the entire 30th floor of the Monster Restaurant, but still found nothing unusual.
Finally, the two returned to the waiting room and sat on the benches without saying a word.
Bai Xiao suddenly thought of something, glanced at Wei Shuiyangyang beside her, and Wei Shuiyangyang immediately turned her head and gave her a smile: "What did you think of?"
Bai Xiao was speechless. She did have something in mind, but she didn't want to share it with this kid. However, this kid was like a leech that she couldn't shake off. If she didn't leave the Monster Restaurant today, he definitely wouldn't leave either.
Why don't we go back today? And come back tomorrow using the Monster Restaurant work card?
The idea was quickly dismissed by Bai Xiao. Today, the reward for the top twenty players in the Monster Secret Realm is a Monster Restaurant work card. Now, there are twenty players in each dormitory building who have Monster Restaurant work cards. This is no small number when all these people are combined.
They might enter the Monster Restaurant tomorrow. Once there are more people, other players will have the same idea as Bai Xiao, and Bai Xiao will lose the initiative.
So she has to go see it tonight.
Wei Shui Yangyang kept looking at Bai Xiao, waiting for her to reveal her guess. Even if Bai Xiao didn't say anything, he would stay with her all night. He could stay up all night, but he couldn't stand by and watch someone else know more useful information than him.
Even though Bai Xiao didn't want to talk to Wei Shuiyang, he had to say, "It's just a guess. Since there's no problem on the 30th floor, we can go and check the lower floors."
Wei Shui Yangyang frowned: "There's no negative floor button in the elevator. Are you sure there's a basement here?"
Bai Xiao said irritably, "That's why I said it was a guess. Just because the elevator we took didn't go down to a certain floor doesn't mean that Monster Restaurant doesn't have a basement."
For example, in the hospital she used to work, the first basement level of the inpatient department was the hospital's morgue, and the second basement level was the parking lot. The elevator for patients had buttons for the second basement level, but not for the first basement level.
The only elevator that goes to the basement level is next to the doctor's on-call room. The doctor's on-call room is where doctors rest when they work the night shift. Generally, no patients go there. Even if a patient needs to find a doctor, they press the call bell, and then the night shift nurse will wake up the doctor in the on-call room.
The caregiver who looked after Bai Xiao was particularly gossipy. She knew more about the hospital's affairs than some of the regular staff. She also loved to chatter on and on to Bai Xiao, which led Bai Xiao to learn quite a bit about the place.
Therefore, Bai Xiao suspected that the Monster Restaurant had other elevators, not for customers, and not the kind that were in the open.
Bai Xiao's first suspicion was about Mian Xiaonuan's manager's office, because the door to the HR manager's office was locked after Mian Xiaonuan left work.
Monster Restaurant is huge, and it has a lot of managers, including a restaurant manager, sales manager, planning manager, marketing manager, kitchen manager, and so on.
Of all the managers' offices, only the door to Mian Xiaonuan's office, the HR manager's office, was locked.
This could be because Mian Xiaonuan is used to locking the door, or it could be that its office is special compared to other managers' offices, so it locks the office door after get off work.
Bai Xiao decided to see if she could open the lock, and Wei Shuiyang got up and followed her, like a stubborn leech.
The two arrived at Mian Xiaonuan's HR manager's office. Wei Shuiyang tried to turn the doorknob, but it wouldn't budge. He took out a long sword from his backpack: "This isn't a person or a monster; it should be something that can be forcibly dismantled."
As he spoke, he slashed the door handle with his sword. The office door was not the dormitory door; it was just an ordinary wooden door. With Wei Shuiyang's sword strike, a sword mark appeared next to the handle.
Wei Shuiyang turned the handle again, and this time it loosened a little. He then raised his sword and slashed a few more times.
Bai Xiao watched coldly from the side. Wei Shuiyang successfully opened the office door, and Bai Xiao squeezed in at the same time as Wei Shuiyang, turning on the office light as he did so.
Mian Xiaonuan's office was filled with documents. Behind her office seat was a large filing cabinet that completely covered the wall.
Bai Xiao observed carefully, and Wei Shui Yangyang wasn't stupid either; the two quickly discovered that a folder in the filing cabinet was upside down. They aimed at the file and simultaneously pulled it out of the cabinet.
Immediately afterwards, the filing cabinet moved away automatically, and sure enough, an elevator door appeared behind it.
Wei Shuiyang pressed the open button, and Bai Xiao rushed in as soon as the elevator door opened, mainly because she was worried that this elevator, like the dormitory elevator, could only let one person in at a time.
However, Bai Xiao was disappointed by the elevator. She had just entered when Wei Shuiyangyang followed right behind, and there was nothing wrong with the elevator.
Wei Shui Yangyang raised an eyebrow and glanced at Bai Xiao. Bai Xiao turned his head to look at the elevator buttons. Sure enough, there was a button for the basement this time. Bai Xiao pressed it, and the elevator slowly descended.
The two remained silent inside the elevator, their eyes fixed on the elevator doors, each wanting to be the first to exit once the doors opened.
As soon as the elevator doors opened, the two of them started rushing out at the same time. Because they were going too fast, before the elevator doors were fully open, their shoulders bumped into the elevator doors.
After squeezing out of the elevator, Bai Xiao and Wei Shuiyangyang saw a tunnel. The tunnel was dark and long, and they didn't know where it led.
Bai Xiao and Wei Shuiyang were both a little disappointed; it turned out that they didn't get anything as soon as they came down, and they still had to go through a tunnel.
The tunnel was pitch black, so Bai Xiao and Wei Shuiyangyang had to go up again to find something to light their way down.
Fortunately, this was the Monster Restaurant, so there were plenty of atmospheric candles and light bulbs. Bai Xiao and Wei Shui Yangyang took some candles and light bulbs and entered the tunnel.
