Next you have to go through the location and collect paper cranes, which are clues to the location of the curiosity. Find all the paper birds, avoiding opponents, to get to the item you are looking for.

The first two cranes are located on the path and round platform on the right side of the entrance to the location. You can pick them up easily without encountering any enemies.

From the round platform, start going down to the elevator in the center. Take the crane on the bridge at the moment when the enemy on the right turns his back to Pippi. The next bird will appear on the left side of the elevator, next to the second enemy. Sprint towards her as soon as the right enemy turns his back again. After picking up the item, immediately hide behind the nearest barrels to avoid detection.

Continue along the circular path to pick up a new crane behind the barrels ahead. Next, you have to go to the next circular platform for the next bird: wait until the enemy in front turns his back, and then sprint up, pick up the figurine and hide behind the barrels.

For the next paper crane, go down at the moment when the enemy es the bridge to the right. Run quickly and, after picking up the bird, hide between two barrels.

Another crane will appear in the center of another circular platform.

On the right side of the new room is another paper bird. Wait until the enemy creature turns its back to the entrance, then go to the origami and save the Ruan Mei creature sitting in the corner nearby.

Continue looking for clues related to curiosities with the help of Pippi. From the place where you found the friendly creature, go to the last open room when the enemy goes left. At the entrance, pick up the last crane, and then go to the puzzle with the glowing age and activate it.

Once outside the gate, pick up the first crane on the path. Then go higher, hide behind the barrels and take the next paper bird, waiting for the enemy to go the other way.

The next bird lies further behind the barrier; you can pick it up after the enemy starts moving towards the doors.

Find Ruan Mei's creature who needs help

After taking the crane, you will hear cries for help. Ruan Mei's creature is hiding in the corner of the room behind some barrels. Wait until the enemy squad moves to the left, then cross the room and free the cat.

Keep searching for the lost curiosity

From the place where the creature was hiding, turn right and go through the age. Make sure that there are no opponents nearby. Go down and pick up the last crane in front of the arch.

Find a way to open the door

Having appeared in the place where the butler lives, go along the corridor and enter the first room you encounter on the left. After stopping inside, a short dialogue will take place between the Pathfinder and Pippi, which will end with the door suddenly closing. Examine the broken gate and switch to dog control to get out.

Once outside, go further down the corridor and enter the hall on the right. Talk to the little robot guard sitting in this room to try to open the doors.

In a dialogue with a robot, you can choose several answer options, but only a replica will be effective "Let Pippi threaten your name". Having dealt with the gate, you will receive the item Anomalous CCTV images.

Inspect the terminal nearby

Once outside, go further along the corridor and open the large gate using the switch. Inside, go to the far corner indicated by the quest marker to meet the butler. The creature will refuse the conversation, saying that the lost curiosity is not with him.

After failure, automatically switch to Pippi, in whose body you will have to find clues that can help in the conversation with the butler. To begin, head back to the tables next to which the creature is sitting. Focus on two large monitors against the wall. Next to them, find and examine the point to get the item Records of external communications.

Talk to the creatures and collect clues

Examine the sparkle on the table near the monitors to get Fragrant dessert, which will come in handy later. Behind the tables, find a age to the lower floor and go down there.

Find the creature near the stairs and talk to it. The cat will refuse to tell anything about the butler just like that and will demand something tasty. Give him the Fragrant Dessert you found earlier and listen to the secret.

Talk to the butler and expose his lies to find the lost curiosity

Return to the butler on the top floor and talk to him. A debate will begin in which it is necessary to prove the creature’s guilt, refuting his words with previously found evidence. In total, you have to go through three rounds, in each of which you will need to find the right replica and select the necessary evidence for it. The strategy for debating with the butler is:

1. Replica: Your claim that I am being immoral and deliberately locked the door to trap everyone present is laughable. The access control switch is set so high that I can't even reach it! — Proof: Anomalous images from surveillance cameras.
2. Replica: Do you want to know how unique I am as Ruan Mei's creation? Well, for example, Lady Ruan Mei didn't want me to be burdened by lower physiological needs, so I don't even need to eat! — Proof: Cosmic fried rice (yesterday's).
3. Replica: She and I always communicated through the terminal. She entrusted me with managing everything on her behalf. I reported to her the behavior of each creature, and she was very pleased with me. — Proof: Records of external communications.

Return a lost curiosity

After winning the debate, a door will open nearby leading to a long corridor. Follow it to the energy anchor and enter the nearest room. The curiosity lying there will be guarded by a detachment of stingbugs. Defeat all enemies to collect the missing fragment Happiness Filtration Kit.
