Chapter 309 309. The number on the key
The canteen is used by 'Chef' Manela as his own kitchen and also as his storage room.

A table in the canteen was full of miscellaneous items such as keys and cards. There might be an identification card needed for the task, but there was not enough time left for Bai Ye to find it. We must start from another direction.

"The uniforms on these corpses are different from those of the researchers?"

Bai Ye's gaze returned to the pile of broken corpses, and he noticed that there were some clothes taken off from the corpses piled up next to it.

There are also differences in the color and style of these clothes, which can be divided into three categories in total.

The khaki one-piece suit representing the test subject, the white clothes representing the researchers, and the rest are dark blue uniforms.

Bai Ye guessed that these dark blue uniforms should be the uniforms of the supervisors in the living area.

He seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes returned to the pile of debris on the dining table.

Upon closer inspection, nearly 50.00% of the composition of the pile of sundries are gray iron keys with a uniform style.

"There is a room with a closed iron gate in the living area. One of these keys should be used to open that door."

After discovering the miniature tape recorder without the battery, Bai Ye immediately guessed that the battery might need to be removed from something.

Looking at the scenes he walked all the way through, only the electric baton in the room with the iron gate in the living area may have a battery.

So at the beginning of the whole puzzle-solving session, he needs to get the iron gate first...

Bai Ye picked randomly from the pile of sundries, picked up a gray iron key, and immediately noticed that there was a line of serial numbers engraved on the handle of the key.

"The number on the key corresponds to the door of the room in the living area?"

In this way, as long as he knows the number on the iron gate, he can find the correct key from the pile of keys?

"These keys must have been in the hands of those regulators before they came here."

So which key corresponds to which door, the supervisors should be the ones who know the situation best.

Thinking of this, Bai Ye approached the pile of clothes, and quickly picked out the uniforms of the supervisors mixed in it.

There are only ten blue uniforms. Although there are no clues on the surface, this at least narrows the scope of the search a lot.

Next, Bai Ye picked out some seriously worn clothes out of the ten pieces of clothing and moved them aside for elimination. In the end, there were only four pieces that looked relatively complete, and the search scope was narrowed down again.

He looked through the remaining clothes carefully, and found a number plate from three of them. The numbers on the plates were: 5069, 7741, and 3398.

There was a small note hidden in the pocket of the fourth piece of clothing, on which was written a simple but somewhat convoluted sentence like a memo:

'The key to the equipment room is in one of the rooms, but I forgot the number of that room. I only remember that key 5069 can open the doors that 7741 can't open, and 3398 can open the doors of 5069 and 7741, but not all of them. Door. '

"According to this...you must use two keys at the same time to open a door?"

Bai Ye quickly deciphered the meaning on the note.

“5069钥匙和7741钥匙不能同时使用，所有那个遗落了装备室钥匙的房间，可能需要5069+3398或者7741+3398的组合才能打开。”

"Among them, 3398 cannot open all the doors, which means that it can only fit a few of the doors that 5069 and 7741 can open... In this way, I only need to find out the doors that 3398 can open, and the search range can be further expanded. shrinking."

……

The familiar sound of iron plates colliding came from the corridor outside the room, and the sound of dull footsteps was approaching the cafeteria.

Bai Ye had been prepared to hide under a workbench that was closer to the entrance, so that he might find an opportunity to sneak away when the 'chef' Manella was busy with other things.

The sound of footsteps came outside the door, and there was a pause. Bai Ye heard Manela muttering something indistinctly outside the house.

Immediately afterwards, the door of the cafeteria was pushed open, and Manela's pair of searchlight-like green eyes appeared first through the dark door, looking strange and terrifying.

Bai Ye maintains a cautious posture, and at the same time lowers his breathing rate. There are technical posts on the game forum saying that some detailed behaviors of the player will increase the concealment effect of the cautious posture, including suppressing his own breathing.

Manella carried a large bloody sack, and his arched back made him look like a prawn.

He seemed to find that his territory was different, so he stopped at the spot and looked around.

"Ah~ a little mouse came into my kitchen and ate it~"

He said something in a suppressed but slightly sharp voice, then walked quickly to the cooking room and put the big bag behind his back on the ground.

He came out of the cooking room soon again, and Bai Ye noticed that this guy had a long and sharp kitchen knife in his hand, which shone coldly in the weak light of the kitchen, matching the pair of green eyes The eyes complement each other.

"A clean kitchen cannot contain a dirty rat."

Manella grunted loudly and began to search in the kitchen.

"How did you find me?"

Bai Ye said depressingly in his heart, he thought that the concealment work was done well, and the other party found him easily, it is very likely that there is a certain aspect of the system settings.

He judged Manera's travel route, and adjusted his hiding position slightly to avoid showing his feet in the opponent's sight.

"Despicable mouse, I saw you, and you are hiding here."

Manera walked between several dining tables, his eyes shone like searchlights, and his mouth made a muttering sound like singing.

"Not here, let me go to the next place to see."

The kitchen knife in his hand dragged across the table, making a 'hissing, hissing' sound.

Bai Ye moved lightly, and came to the position facing the canteen exit.

It is less than five meters away from the corridor outside the cafeteria, but because a door that can be opened in both directions is blocked in the middle, it is extremely difficult to cross this step.

"It's almost impossible to get out of here without alerting Manella."

Bai Ye hid behind the obstacle to observe the opponent's every move. He noticed that Manela had walked out of the dining table area, and began to search for the further corpse pile.

"Then when he reaches the farthest position in a straight line, I will rush out from here again, so that I should be able to buy some time to return to the living area."

There are nearly [-] rooms in the living area, and Bai Ye only needs to hide in a room at will. It may not be so easy for Manela to find him.

"Just do it."
