The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 342: The Bizarre Adventures of Shichijo Masato (14)

Late at night, a man suddenly woke up from his bed. He seemed to have just seen someone in his dream who shouldn't have appeared.

"The kid from the Nanajo family... why is he there?" The man covered his head and murmured in disbelief, "Did he see anything? Tsk, please... I have to warn them."

He quickly picked up the phone beside him, dialed a number, and said, "Hello, it's me. It's an emergency. Tell them to leave quickly! Someone may come up to check later."

……

In the office, Nanajo Masato asked Qian Xiaoyi, "I feel uncomfortable when I think about the existence of such a place in the building. If I take a rest in the office, will I really not enter that place again?"

Qian Xiaoyi comforted him, "Don't worry, you can't just go in there if you want to. Even for me, it took me a long time to find that [Studio 0]. Outsiders generally can't go in, so don't worry about accidentally entering there. If you're still scared, I'll leave you a talisman, just carry it with you."

"Is that so? That's great." Nanajo Masato breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "If that's the case, there shouldn't be anything to worry about next, right?"

Qian Xiaoyi nodded: "That's all. You should have a good rest from now on. I'm going back too."

"Well, bye." Nanajo Masato suddenly remembered something and said uncomfortably, "Um...help me say thank you to Miss Suzuki."

Qian Xiaoyi looked at him strangely, nodded, and then left.

After making sure they had left, Shichijo Masato loosened his tie and leaned back on the sofa, thinking back on today's experience. It was really a bit of a dream...

He gradually became sleepy and his eyelids were drooping. After noticing this, Shichijo Masato stood up suddenly, took out a can of spare espresso from the drawer of his desk and drank it, then patted his face and muttered, "It's time to verify it."

He walked out of the office and took the elevator to the 31st floor of the building, and as expected, he found that the door was locked. In terms of his official identity, he was just a program director and of course had no way of getting a pass here.

"Is it finally time to be a playboy..." Nanajo Masato took out his cell phone, took a deep breath, and called someone he knew.

"Hello? Is this Masato? What are you calling so late at night for?"

Nanajo Masato said, "Uncle Ichiro, I didn't go home today. I spent the night at the company. The sofa in the office was very uncomfortable. I remember that the company has a luxury suite. Ask someone to open it for me. I will sleep there today."

"Eh? Luxury suite? Sleep there? Oh my, that's troublesome. It will take a long time for me to send you the key. Otherwise, I can book you a room in a nearby five-star hotel. You can rest there at night."

Nanajo Masato pretended to be impatient and asked, "There is a room here, why do you want me to sleep in a hotel outside? Is there anyone in that suite now?"

"Ah? Someone? I don't know about that. This is not my responsibility... But there shouldn't be anyone, right?"

Nanajo Masato said angrily, "Since there is no one there, why don't you let me in? Where are the security personnel? They should have the key here, right? Ask them to come up and open the door for me! I'm just sleeping there for one night, or... as the heir of the Nanajo family, am I not entitled to sleep there for one night? Uncle Ichiro, do you think so?"

"No, no, no, Zhengren, I don't mean that!" The other party immediately said, "How about this, I'll help you notify them right away and ask them to open the door for you as soon as possible."

The person on the other end wanted to say something, but Nanajo Masato just said "Hurry up" and hung up the phone.

He was calculating the time. If no one came up after more than an hour... no, half an hour, then there must be something going on here, just as he had seen.

But only ten minutes later, the head of the security department came, holding a bunch of keys in his hand, nodding and greeting Nanajo Masato, who just said arrogantly, "Hurry up and open the door."

"Yes." The head of the security department first found a key from a bunch of keys and opened the outermost iron door, then used his ID card to swipe open the tempered glass door inside. "Mr. Nanajo, please come in." The head of the security department said respectfully.

Masato Nanajo pushed the door open and walked in, walking quickly towards the location he remembered, while the head of the security department turned on the lights in the corridor, then ran in front of Masato Nanajo, took the key very attentively, walked to the door of the luxury suite first, opened the door with the key, and when Masato Nanajo arrived at the door, the door was just opened.

The door of the luxury suite is a double-door made of marble with relief carvings and gold borders around it, which looks very elegant and luxurious.

When the head of the security department turned on the chandelier, the scene inside came into the eyes of Shichijo Masato. The crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling alone was enough to dazzle people, not to mention the gorgeous carpets on the floor of the house and the magnificent decorations everywhere.

Nanajo Masato had been here once before. He had just returned and was received here during the day. However, he did not think much of it at the time. But now, with the lights turned on at night and the colorful night view outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, it immediately looks more luxurious.

This room is very large, with a spiral staircase and an internal elevator connecting the three floors. The first floor is mainly the living room, kitchen, and entertainment room, the second floor is the bedroom, and the top floor is connected to the swimming pool on the terrace. It is like a villa on top of a high-rise building.

But now Nanajo Masato had no intention of enjoying the night view. He looked around, snorted coldly, and went upstairs on his own.

"Um, Mr. Nanajo, your bedroom is in this direction..." The head of the security department called out, "Mr. Nanajo?"

"Do I need you to tell me which room I want to sleep in?" Nanajo Masato ignored the security chief's obstruction and walked straight to another bedroom. He turned the doorknob but found it would not turn.

"Open it for me!" said Nanajo Masato.

The head of the security department said with sweat dripping down his back: "Well... some of these rooms are lounges exclusively for leaders. Although they are not here, I am not qualified to open them..."

Nanajo Masato grabbed the head of the security department by the collar and said viciously, "You have the access card here, right? If you still want to continue working here, open the door honestly! You know who I am, right?"

The head of the security department was sweating profusely. He could tell that Nanajo Masato was serious, so he stammered, "I...I understand."

He took out the universal access card tremblingly, opened all the bedrooms, and Nanajo Masato rushed in impatiently.

Then I saw that every room seemed to be tidy, without a trace of dirt or mess. There was no one in it either.

Shichijo Masato walked through every room and finally came to the largest VIP bedroom. He went around almost every corner and found that every place was extremely clean.

Finally, he put his hands on the head of the big bed, suddenly turned around and asked, "Is there no one coming to sleep tonight?"

"No, you're alone today, if you want to sleep here you can."

"No, this place is too big. I'll change to another room. Oh, I'll use the bathroom." After using the toilet, Masato Shichijo left the place under the guidance of the head of the security department.

After arriving at his room, he asked the security chief to leave, saying that he wanted to rest.

Afterwards, Shichijo Masato lay on the soft bed with his heart sinking. It was already very late, but he just couldn't fall asleep because he discovered something.

——In the VIP bedroom, there were wet marks on the inside of the bathtub in the bathroom, which meant that someone had been in that room not long ago.
