Chapter 121 Bear Scare

"Holy crap! That scared me to death!"

Lu Xiaoyao took the lead, rushing into the security room in one breath, pouring a glass of cold water from the thermos on the table, and chugging it down, letting out a comfortable sigh!

"That bear...it was too scary, I swear!"

Lu Xiaoyao wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve again, looked at the others who had run back with her, and seeing that everyone's faces were pale, she poured four glasses of cold water for them.

The group took the cold water and downed it in one gulp, letting out a long sigh.

As if celebrating their escape from death.

"Did we pour water when we left?"

After drinking the water, Yuan Fang, belatedly, asked a question out of the blue.

"What?"

"Before we left, I remember there was a thermos in the room, full of hot water..."

As he spoke, he glanced at the place where Lu Xiaoyao had just poured the cold water, a cold water jug he hadn't seen before.

"Now that you mention it, I feel like this room is a little different from before?"

As soon as Yuan Fang finished speaking, Julian suddenly chimed in with this sentence.

This belated realization made everyone afraid to breathe.

Lu Xiaoyao's hand holding the kettle trembled.

"Could it be...is the water poisonous?" Lu Xiaoyao was about to cry. It wasn't just a problem of her drinking herself to death, the key was that everyone had just had a glass!

"Why did you guys say that after drinking the water? QwQ?"

"We were startled by the previous situation, and our brains didn't quite turn around..." Bai Xiao gave a sheepish smile and walked to Lu Xiaoyao, patting her on the shoulder to comfort her. "Everyone was a little unstable just now, it's not your fault."

"But..." Lu Xiaoyao sobbed as if her brain had turned a corner, and said, "Didn't we not see my brother and them when we came back?"

Everyone: ??!!!

"Weren't we running in their direction?"

…

"The footprints disappeared at the garden gate..."

Hearing Lu Xiaoyao's screams, Lu Gui and the others rushed to the scene as soon as possible, but found no one.

Because Lu Xiaoyao and the others were patrolling in a direction that passed through a lawn, the mud left on their feet left some traces where Lu Gui and the others arrived after hearing the sound. Following the traces, everyone arrived at the garden behind the villa.

They lost all traces of them at the door on the other side of the garden.

"How could this be?"

Lu Gui frowned, examining the surrounding environment. Well-kept flower beds were in full bloom with clusters of red roses, and there were no traces of anyone breaking or passing by the flower stand.

It didn't look like anyone had squeezed in.

There was no need to doubt whether Lu Xiaoyao could do it; she had done it before.

Thinking like this, Lu Gui's thoughts wandered for a while. When he came back to his senses, he saw Mu Chen reaching out a finger to poke open the garden door.

"What's wrong?"

"This garden seems to have been newly renovated; the paint on the door isn't dry yet."

After Mu Chen finished speaking, Lu Gui saw a small piece of black paint on the other's fingertip. Then his gaze fell on the door, and after looking at it for a long time, he said, "They didn't leave the garden?"

Mu Chen looked at the door carefully again and again, and then he saw the inconspicuous indentation that Mu Chen had pressed out.

He stubbornly poked it elsewhere with his hand, and sure enough: "If they were so scared that they ran away and pushed the door open, there would definitely be traces left on the door."

"But this garden can be seen at a glance, and even this rose bush doesn't look like it can accommodate five people."

Wang Wenfei stared at the rose bushes for a long time, and then used the uncharged security baton in her hand to poke it a few times, but didn't see anything inside.

If it was really like what they said, where did this group of people run to after coming here?

…

"Beep beep beep!"

Suddenly, a knock on the door startled Lu Xiaoyao and the other five in the room, who didn't know how to deal with the situation next!

"Ahhhhh!"

Lu Xiaoyao's sudden, high-pitched scream even startled the others!

"What are you doing?"

At this moment, an old man's loud voice rang out from outside the door. Before Lu Xiaoyao and the others could look at each other and ask what was going on, the door was knocked open by the other party.

Everyone: !!!!

"You guys, there are guests coming to the banquet tonight, and we're counting on you to work. You guys are good for nothing! Don't think that just because Angson isn't here, you can hide here!"

The old man was wearing a suit vest, and although his hair was all white, he was in excellent spirits.

His sharp eyes swept over Lu Xiaoyao and the others, and he directly named the other four except for Lu Xiaoyao, saying, "You four come with me. Two of you go to the kitchen to help the cook, and the other two go to the hall to entertain the guests. As for you—"

The old man pointed at Lu Xiaoyao, his tone unquestionable: "You can guard the door. Tonight's banquet is very important. Don't let anyone in without an invitation, understand?"

"Wait... Grandpa, who are you? Why are you so bossy when you tell people what to do?"

Lu Xiaoyao, who had been blocked by the other party for a long time and hadn't finished a sentence, finally had time to speak after the other party had arranged everyone's work clearly.

"I'm the butler here!" The old man seemed very proud when he said this. He raised his chin and swept the five "silly geese" in front of him with the contemptuous light from the corner of his eyes, and said, "I can't command you temporary workers who were hired on the spot?"

There was nothing wrong with this statement, but Lu Xiaoyao and the others always felt that something was wrong.

"Tonight, there's a banquet being held here?"

Julian asked questioningly.

They came to the hotel tonight to work as security guards and patrol, but no one said that there would be an event at the hotel tonight.

"Nonsense! Why else would we need you?"

The butler glared at these young people who still seemed to be out of the loop, and then urged: "Aren't you coming with me yet? If you're too busy later and you don't learn well and neglect or offend the guests, you wouldn't want all your efforts for the day to be in vain, would you?"

[A "secret" banquet is being held at this hotel tonight. There must be some secrets involved. Players, please try your best to perform well and actively explore the secrets.]

Suddenly, the game system suddenly issued the next mission in the minds of the five of them.

This made the few people who were still reluctant to leave here easily have a plan in their minds.

However, this did not include Lu Xiaoyao. Lu Xiaoyao could not get close to the banquet tonight. She had to guard the door orz

"Maybe, if something happens, I can run away first, hee!"

After everyone left, Lu Xiaoyao barely maintained a smile, stood at the door, tightly holding her baton and flashlight, staring at the gate where the light sign had gone out, and crying in her heart.

In front of her was a piece of darkness, but behind her was brightly lit. This was the scene that Ming Mei saw in the live broadcast room when she trotted all the way to the security room.

However, Ming Mei turned her head to look at the villa behind her at this moment, and it was indeed a piece of darkness...
