Vol 6 Chapter 2961: true omens

   Chapter 2961 True Omen
   There is a large sink in the middle of the kitchen with a flue-like air outlet in the middle of the sink, and next to it is the table where the chef handles the ingredients. This table is connected to the unknown black hole outside, and wrinkled pigs that have been washed come out from the hole.
  The chef is standing in front of the transmission port, holding a machete in his oily hands, and each knife can accurately cut the pig's head.
  The pig's head fell into the black sludge on the ground, and slowly melted away, as if the black sludge was a swamp that could precipitate everything.
   The puppet chef's hands didn't stop, but his head was looking to the other side.
   Judging from its face, it should be talking to the maid in the main hall with her head stuck in.
   There are many cabinets in the kitchen, but they are all covered with oil stains and some dark red blood stains.
  In Ingres' view, this kitchen is simply weird.
   First of all, next to the main hall is the kitchen. This design alone is very strange. What is even more strange is that it is only separated by a curtain, as if seeing two completely different scenes.
   Although the main hall is a bit gaudy, in the eyes of people who don’t know how to do it, at least it can be called gorgeous. But the kitchen next to it was even filthier than the stinky gutter covered with oil.
   With such different styles of houses next to each other, what did Earl of Black Tea think?
  Absurd, contradictory and full of weirdness, is this the idea of ​​​​the Earl of Dark Tea, or is this the normal state of the teapot country?
While Angel was observing and complaining about the kitchen, Rabbit Chacha leaned into Angel's ear and whispered, "We're lucky, the tea servant is sleeping, and the chef is distracted, so we can sneak into the storage room. ."
   Angel was stunned: "Tea servant?"
   He only saw the chef, not the tea servant. .
   Rabbit Chacha whispered, "In the air."
  Angle's head was almost out of shadow this time, only then did he see two teapots on plates floating vaguely in the air. They are suspended above the water tank, and when they go up and down, they seem to be breathing and move regularly.
   "This is the form of the tea servant when he was sleeping, and now it looks like a teapot, but when they wake up, they are puppets whose heads are teapots." Rabbit Chacha finished speaking and motioned for Angel to leave quickly.
  Angol also understood that this was not the time to chat, so he followed Rabbit Chacha like a thief, tiptoed and moved quietly under the cabinet.
  When they move, they must walk in the shadows. Once there is a slight change in the outside world, they will immediately stop moving and hide in the dark carefully.
  Just like this, it took about three minutes, and they smoothly moved from under the cabinet on the far left to the door of the storage room.
   The whole process was basically smooth, but there was a small interlude in the middle.
  The pig head cut by the chef did not fall into the black sludge when it fell to the ground, but fell under the sink.
   Coincidentally, the head of this pig head was aimed at Angel and Rabbit Chacha.
   And this pig head didn't seem to be completely dead, his eyes were still blinking, Angel even saw his reflection with Cha Cha in the dark eyes of the pig head.
   At that moment, Angel's heart skipped a beat.
   Just when Angel thought they had been discovered, the cook didn't look back, while chatting with the maid outside, he stretched out his foot and kicked the pig's head into the black sludge.
   Slowly, the sludge swallowed the pig's head.
   Until the pig's head disappeared, Angel's mood in his throat slowly fell.
   It seems that they haven't been found yet? But the pig head obviously saw him and Chacha. Will this cause any trouble?
  Angol was very nervous in his heart, but it was not easy for him to ask about Chacha now, so he could only keep his head down and follow Chacha forward.
   It wasn't until they entered the storage room and confirmed that there was no one here that Angel asked the doubts in his heart.
   "You mean that pig's head?" Rabbit Chacha paused and said softly, "Don't worry, they are all humans and animals, even if they are discovered, there will be nothing..."
   Rabbit Chacha said at this moment, a little sadness flashed in his eyes.
   "Human and animal?" Rabbit Chacha didn't explain it, but Angel was a little confused when he explained it.
   That is obviously a pig, why is it named after "human animal"?
   Facing Angel's doubts, Rabbit Chacha was silent for a moment, and said, "Because they are all transformed using animal creation techniques."
   Animal creation?
   With Rabbit Chacha's explanation, Angel gradually understood what animal creation was.
   This is an extraordinary technique that turns living beings into meat animals. Most of the people who were cast were the sinners of the teapot country. The sinners of the teapot country basically belonged to humanoids. After these humanoids became meat-eating animals, they were also called human animals.
   "Carnivorous animals... You mean, they turned the people of the Teapot Country into food?"
Rabbit Chacha nodded and said softly: "The upper class of the teapot country, this kind of animal making is very popular. It is called a punishment for criminals, but in my opinion, this is just to satisfy their evil eating habits. They It looks like it's pork...but the texture is not at all the same as real pork."
  Angol had previously thought that this animal creation technique was a bit like the work of a dark gourmet in the wizarding world of the Northern Territory, but after hearing Rabbit Chacha's words, he couldn't help shaking his head.
   This is even a step further than the dark gourmet. The dark gourmet sacrifices the same kind to the devil, while the upper class nobles here feed on the same kind.
  This is really... a country of the absurd.
  Rabbit Chacha: "Don't talk about that, anyway, don't worry about being exposed, the human and animal have been dealt with just now."
  Angol: "Sludge on the ground?"
   Rabbit Chacha nodded: "Those are carnivorous fungi, poisonous."
After a pause, Rabbit Chacha turned around and walked to the front: "The outer hall of the storage room is full of sundries, and the slightly more valuable are all in the inner hall. If Earl Black Tea puts the half-length mirror in the storage room, it must be placed in the storage room. In the inner hall. I want to enter the inner hall, but I have to climb the wall again, we have to hurry up."
   Rabbit Chacha naturally talked about their next goal, but Angel vaguely felt something was wrong. Looking at Rabbit Chacha's back, Angel recalled the sadness that flashed in Rabbit Chacha's eyes when he mentioned people and animals.
   Rabbit Chacha is reluctant to talk about it, and even took the initiative to change the subject. Is it because of this?
   What Rabbit Chacha was thinking, Angel didn't know. But at this time, he felt that although this world is absurd, every creature here is very real.
   Like, it really existed.
   "Alchemy Omen... What kind of operating mechanism is it?" Angel whispered, doubts and confusion flashed in his eyes, and finally he let out a long sigh and no longer thought about it.
  …
   Rabbit Chacha is right, there is no half-length mirror in the outer hall of the storage room, and there are some debris piled up here. There are replacement teapots, dirty blankets, and various non-edible living materials, but they are basically dirty and old.
   "In the outer hall, some will be cleaned, and some will be taken out and destroyed. The real good things and brand new things are all placed in the inner hall." Rabbit Chacha: "Here, it's here."
   Rabbit Chacha pointed to an iron door in the depths.
   This door is locked at this time. But there are ventilation holes just above the door, just big enough for them to get in.
   There is no way to climb the door directly, but the wall next to it can be climbed.
  It took a few minutes for them to successfully climb up the wall with a suitable height, and then moved towards the gate little by little.
   When he was about to reach the gate, Rabbit Chacha jumped up and jumped to the lock of the gate, and Angel also followed. If it was before, it would have been a bit difficult for Angel to jump like this, but with the saddle as the "wings", it was much easier.
   climbed all the way from the door lock, and soon reached the air hole.
  Through the air hole, Angel can already see the environment inside the storage room.
   It is indeed as Rabbit Tea Tea said, full of good things, but it is mostly living materials and teapots with unique shapes.
   At a glance, I did not see a half-length mirror.
   However, there are cabinets in many places, and Angel can't see the specific situation.
   "At present, it seems that there is no half-length mirror you want, do you want to go in and have a look?" Rabbit Chacha turned around and asked.
  Angol nodded: "Go in and have a look."
   Just in case, Angel still prepared to enter the inner hall for further confirmation.
  About ten minutes later, the door of the storage room was opened. This was the patrol maid who came back from outside. She entered the storage room and started to sort out the supplies here.
  When the patrolling maid didn't notice, Angel and Rabbit Chacha quietly got out of a teapot and jar, and then quickly walked out through the crack of the open inner hall door.
   The whole process was a bit of a surprise.
   They returned to the outer hall of the storage room. The only regret was that Angel did not find a half-length mirror during the ten-minute search.
   means that after Earl Dark Tea came back, he did not put the half-length mirror in the storage room.
  Although Angel was a little regretful, he had already tried and failed at least one, and there were only two places left, the study or the treasure house.
  The treasury is too heavily guarded, and it is underground, making it difficult to run even if you want to. If you are really hiding a treasure trove, you need a more detailed infiltration plan.
   Therefore, the next place Angel chose was the study.
  The study is upstairs, and the stairs are on the left side of the main hall, which means that they have to go through the kitchen and the main hall again to reach the stairs upstairs.
  Although he had already had one experience, Angel still did not relax when he returned to the kitchen again.
   The situation in the kitchen changed slightly. The tea servant was still sleeping, but the chef did not chat anymore, but continued to chop the pig's head while preparing some kind of poisonous sauce.
   But overall, it’s still easy to sneak away.
   This time, Angel and Rabbit Chacha returned to the main hall after only two minutes.
   The changes in the main hall were much more dramatic, and the two maids retracted their snake-necked heads. The maid who had chatted with the chef before went to the door, cleaning up the dust on the ground to prevent the count from getting angry when he came back; the other maid who ate cockroaches did not go to look for cockroaches at this time, but wiped the porcelain bottles one by one.
  The main hall has changed a lot, but the overall difficulty is much smaller than before.
  Because the maids at the door had their backs facing them, and the maids who ate cockroaches didn’t pay attention to the ground, they had a lot more space to hide, and they didn’t need to take the air.
   They chose the same method as in the kitchen, by walking constantly into the shadow of the furniture and the blind spots of the two maids' vision.
  Just like that, they walked back to the left side of the main hall smoothly.
  Through the thick drapery, they came to the corridor leading to the atrium pond. However, they did not go in the direction of the pond, but in the direction of the stairs.
  Because the puppet maid is not good at climbing stairs, other servants will not go upstairs at this time, so they boldly chose to take the stairs.
   However, even if there are no servants to interfere, it is not easy to walk up the stairs.
   Mainly because they are too small.
   There are two steps to go from the first floor to the second floor, each with twelve floors, for a total of twenty-four floors. Angel struggled to climb every flight of stairs. Fortunately, the stairs were also covered with blankets. Although they were tired, at least they wouldn't slip.
  When he climbed to the last floor of the second staircase, Rabbit Chacha suddenly signaled Angel to stop.
   In fact, without Rabbit Chacha's reminder, Angel had stopped climbing because he had already heard the creaking sound from the corridor on the second floor.
   There is no doubt that this is the patrol maid on the second floor.
   The patrolling maid will not go downstairs, but will patrol back and forth on the second floor from time to time.
  Angol and Rabbit Chacha waited with bated breath. As long as the patrolling maid made a round tour and stayed away from here, they would be able to board the second floor.
  The stairs of the main building were built at the end. After the patrolling maid came over, she looked down at random, but she didn't see anyone, so she started to walk back.
   After confirming that the footsteps of the maid were leaving, Angel and Rabbit Chacha immediately climbed to the second floor.
  Then non-stop, he climbed the stairs to the third floor.
   So while avoiding the patrolling maid, they climbed the stairs. After a quarter of an hour, they finally came to the fourth floor where the study was located.
  …
   Earl of Black Tea's study is not far from the stairs on the fourth floor.
  According to Rabbit Chacha, as long as they avoid the patrolling maids, they can go straight to the study. Don't worry about not being able to get in, because there is an entrance hole for tea servants on the door of the study.
  Tea servants can quietly float into the study room through the entrance and exit, and place snacks, food and tea.
   They can go to the study room through the entrance and exit of the tea servant.
   Along the way, Rabbit Chacha also showed off his record of sneaking into Earl's study. It stole a hat from Earl's study and was still hiding in the rabbit hole.
   But for some reason, the more confident Rabbit Chacha behaves, the more Angel feels that he has a bad premonition.
   Soon, the hunch came true.
   When they quietly stuck their heads out to see the situation in the study, Angel and Rabbit Chacha were stunned.
  A fully armed puppet guard, like a wooden stake, stood motionless at the door of the study.
