Because he was startled awake from his sleep, Gu Xinghe's sleep quality last night was not very good.
When he woke up the next morning, he felt a little groggy.
Sitting quietly on the bed, Gu Xinghe slowly began to ponder the dream he had last night.
He was unaware that the dream he had last night, and the hallucination that appeared by his bedside, resembled a little boy from his childhood.
Is it because he looked in the mirror last night?
However, based on the contents of the diary he found in the room, and the information revealed in the live stream, it seems...
It seemed that none of the ordinary tavern employees looking in the mirror had any problems.
In that case, it might be because he was trying to listen to the mirror's inner voice, an operation that ordinary people cannot do.
Gu Xinghe felt he should take some early warning actions tonight.
Based on his previous reasoning, besides his shortcuts...
Perhaps it is only when looking in the mirror at a specific time and in a specific place that things will happen differently than usual.
For example, the diarist clearly went insane at the end.
He went insane because he broke the rule about looking in the mirror.
Or was he punished for secretly selling alcohol after being discovered by the mysterious boss behind the scenes?
Based on the information he received from the bathroom mirror last night.
There is clearly some unknown entity in this tavern, observing the entire tavern through the medium of mirrors.
Gu Xinghe carefully recalled the contents of the diary.
The biggest turning point was undoubtedly the fragmented diary entry about stealing wine.
Gu Xinghe tried to draw a mental map of the diary's owner's movements in the tavern.
When it comes to stealing wine, the most obvious place to think of is the wine cellar located on the basement floor.
There was no doubt that it had the largest stock of drinks in any tavern.
The wine that Moncalli had previously ordered from the tavern, from the Rose Estate, was also taken from the underground cellar.
...
The working hours are different from those in other industries.
The morning and afternoon hours are the rest time for the tavern staff.
However, because Gu Xinghe only worked as a bartender for half an hour last night, he was respectfully asked to leave by the manager.
He actually woke up very early.
After washing up, Gu Xinghe glanced at the mirror, which looked exactly the same as yesterday, and left the room to go to the staff cafeteria.
Breakfast is naturally provided in the staff canteen.
For most employees who finish their last shift at 6 a.m., this should probably be called dinner or a late-night snack.
And most of the employees haven't even started working yet.
After finishing breakfast, Gu Xinghe headed towards the wine cellar on the basement floor, intending to check if there was anything unusual there.
The wine cellar in the tavern was naturally guarded by a doorman.
The previous rumors that made Gu Xinghe famous among both new and old employees were clearly not without their benefits.
Although most of the information that initially circulated was not actually a rumor.
Two tavern guards stood by the entrance to the wine cellar.
Judging from the way the two of them widened their eyes, gasped for breath, and exchanged knowing glances as soon as they saw him.
Gu Xinghe guessed that they had also heard rumors about him.
It's that one! The one rumored to be the boss's illegitimate son!
[Isn't he just the manager's illegitimate child?]
Are you stupid?! It must belong to the boss! Otherwise, why would the manager be so respectful to him?
What you said makes so much sense!
Although the two of them didn't exchange a single word, they had already said everything.
They could communicate seamlessly even without physical contact, and Gu Xinghe could only give the two of them a perfect score for their tacit understanding.
Although initially, most of the information that circulated was true.
But as the rumors spread, their content gradually became more and more outrageous.
"Oh, it's Mr. Gu Xinghe! Is there anything we can help you with?"
One of the gatekeepers spoke to Gu Xinghe in a friendly manner.
"I'd like to take a look inside the wine cellar."
"Of course!"
As he spoke, the doorman opened the wine cellar, which was locked during the tavern's off-hours.
[Previously, some players also tried to sneak into the wine cellar to investigate and find clues, but they all failed and were stopped.]
Unless a waiter delivers the drinks during business hours, it seems very difficult to get in.
It seems some people have even tried to bribe the two guards at the gate.
However, the two security guards were left speechless as they looked at the two ten-yuan bills the man handed over.
[Wow! While others are using money to log in, Brother Gu just uses facial recognition!]
[Hilarious! This reminds me of the six thousand yuan tip that Boss Gu accepted back then.]
Judging from the information in the live stream, it seems that it is very difficult to enter the wine cellar outside of business hours.
However, he didn't even go to the manager's office to ask Carl for help.
Gu Xinghe had successfully entered the wine cellar by using facial recognition.
The security guard who had just spoken to him then followed him inside.
The temperature inside the wine cellar is lower than the outside temperature.
Inside, there are all kinds of wines, all properly stored at the right angle and temperature.
Most of these wines are produced in the taverns themselves.
Or, like the wine from Rose Estate, it might be a rarer and more precious wine sourced from other channels.
Gu Xinghe walked around the wine cellar after entering.
But contrary to expectations, there were no mirrors in the wine cellar.
Rather, it would be more eerie if there were mirrors in the wine cellar.
Undeterred, Gu Xinghe tried again to listen to the thoughts of those around him.
But it was clear that this time, besides hearing the security guard standing next to him constantly guessing what his identity was, he was also involved in the other part of the conversation.
I didn't hear anything.
Therefore, it seems necessary to look in the mirror in a specific location.
That mirror might not actually be in the wine cellar.
Or perhaps the diarist stole the wine and passed by other places with mirrors?
After leaving the wine cellar, Gu Xinghe wandered around the tavern at his leisure.
The tavern has a normal layout and design.
The rule against looking in mirrors did not result in many mirrors appearing in the tavern, nor did it mean there were no mirrors at all.
According to the content of side quest two, you should look in the mirror in the Doom Tavern.
This easily leads one to think that perhaps mirrors simply cannot be found in taverns.
That's why such a task was issued.
But that was clearly not the case in the tavern.
Mirrors are a normal feature in the restrooms of both the pub and the staff quarters.
However, looking at the tavern as a whole, the number of mirrors is definitely not that many.
It can only be described as perfectly "normal".
Just like when Gu Xinghe first entered this tavern and didn't notice anything strange.
This tavern appears perfectly "normal" from any angle.
