Just as Bai Xinyu led Mu Xiaoyi out of the restroom and into the kitchen, they saw several people dressed in white chef's uniforms cooking. They all seemed very busy, and they showed no displeasure at the sight of so many people searching the kitchen, as if they had known all along that someone would come to search it.
Bai Xinyi and Mu Xiaoyi followed the people from Department A3 and searched the kitchen. They even used a large ladle to stir the soup in the big pot they used to stew. After seeing that it was just ordinary food being cooked, Mu Xiaoyi secretly gave Bai Xinyu a relieved look.
Bai Xinyu knew from that expression that she was really saying, "I'm relieved now. At least it wasn't human flesh cooking inside."
After searching for so long without finding anything, the colleagues from department A3 were about to leave the kitchen. But at that moment, a large rat suddenly emerged from the kitchen drain. As soon as the rat came out, it ran up to Mu Xiaoyi's leg and bumped into it. Then, amidst Mu Xiaoyi's exclamation and in full view of everyone, it passed through the wall next to her!
"Ah! There's a mouse! There's something wrong with that wall!!"
Because of a rat that could walk through walls, the team members who were about to leave all turned back and even wanted to run to the wall through which the rat had passed to check.
But after this accident, the chefs who had previously only focused on cooking and ignored the search began to change their tune!
They all dropped what they were doing and transformed into monsters—lion spirits, tiger spirits, bear spirits, crocodile spirits, and so on—and even picked up weapons to fight the management staff!
"Brothers, charge! Catch them!"
A member of the A3 department knew that their operation had been exposed and that they were preparing to fight the monsters to the death. So, while leading his colleagues in battle, he sent signals to Captain Xia outside.
When Bai Xinyu saw the wall that the rat had passed through, she wanted to go over and see what happened, because if it weren't for the rat's appearance, they definitely wouldn't have noticed that there was something wrong with the wall.
Moreover, even after being inside the restaurant for so long, neither she nor Xiaoyi had sensed any hidden presence or suspected anything amiss. But now it seemed that the problem here was truly extraordinary.
Seeing that everyone had already started fighting, Mu Xiaoyi said to Bai Xinyu, "Quick, try to find the hiding place. I can't find any trace of the hiding place. Is it possible that the wall has nothing to do with the hiding place? Or is it just a problem with that rat?"
Bai Xinyu understood what Mu Xiaoyi meant. She shook her head and said, "No, I can't sense any concealment. Damn it, but if there's no secret inside, why would they do this?"
Because of the chefs' unusual behavior, everyone had to suspect that there was something wrong with the walls.
A fight had broken out in the kitchen, and Xia and the others in the living room quickly noticed it. But just as Xia was about to run to the kitchen to check on the situation, the door, which had been wide open, suddenly slammed shut by itself with a loud bang!
After the main door closed, all the waiters and other staff who were still in the lobby stood at the doorway, as if they were blocking the door and preventing anyone from leaving.
Seeing that the door was closed and observing the attitude of the restaurant staff, the others immediately understood what was going on and quickly went into battle mode!
Upon hearing the door close, Yue Jiuling immediately pulled Xiaobaicai out of the first-floor cubicle. She looked at Brother Quan standing next to the cashier and asked, "Boss, what's the meaning of closing the door?"
Quan-ge remained standing in the same spot as before, smiling as he said, "It's nothing special, I just wanted to play a few games with you all~"
Although Quan Ge always has a smiling face, others can tell at a glance that he is not a simple smiling tiger, but rather the kind that eats people without spitting out the bones.
Little Cabbage hid behind Yue Jiuling, cautiously peeking out at Quan Ge and whispering, "What little game? You're clearly trying to harm us! This is just like that game called 'Close the door and unleash the dogs'."
Just after Xiaobaicai finished speaking, before Quan Ge could say anything, a person ran out of the kitchen, and that person was Mu Xiaoyi.
As soon as Mu Xiaoyi ran out, she shouted, "There are people over there in the kitchen! Damn it, we used so many mystical methods and couldn't find them, but the life detector found them all as soon as it came out!"
