Chapter 2962 The Real Omen

There is a large sink in the middle of the kitchen, with an outlet similar to a flue in the middle of the sink, and next to it is a table where the chef handles the ingredients. This table is connected to an unknown black hole outside, and wrinkled pigs that have been washed come out of the hole.

The chef is standing in front of the portal, holding a machete in his greasy hands, and each knife can accurately chop the pig's head.

The pig's head fell into the black mud on the ground and slowly melted away, as if the black mud was a swamp that could precipitate everything.

Although the puppet chef's hands did not stop moving, his head was looking to the other side.

From its direction, it should be talking to the maid whose head was sticking out of the main hall.

There are many cabinets in the kitchen, but they are all covered with grease, and there are some dark red blood stains...

In Angel's opinion, this kitchen is extremely weird.

First of all, there is a kitchen next to the main hall. This design alone is very weird. What's even weirder is that it seems to see two completely different scenes just separated by a curtain.

Although the main hall is a bit gaudy, it can at least be called magnificent in the eyes of those who don't know much. But the kitchen next to it is even dirtier and more terrible than a stinking ditch covered with oil.

What does the Earl of Black Tea think of putting houses of such different styles next to each other?

Absurd, contradictory and full of weirdness, is this the Earl of Black Tea's idea, or is this the norm in the Teapot Kingdom?

While Angel was observing and complaining about the kitchen, Rabbit Cha Cha leaned close to Angel's ear and whispered: "We are lucky, the tea servant is sleeping, and the chef is distracted, so we can sneak into the storage room."

Angel was stunned for a moment: "Tea servant?"

He only saw the chef, not the tea servant.

Rabbit Cha Cha whispered: "In the air."

Angel's head almost stretched out of the shadow this time, and then he saw two teapots on plates floating in the air. They were suspended above the sink, up and down, looking like breathing, moving in a regular manner.

"This is the form of the tea servant when sleeping. Now they look like teapots, but when they wake up, they will be puppets with teapots as their heads." After talking, Rabbit Cha Cha signaled Angel to leave quickly.

Angel also knew that this was not the time to chat, so he followed Rabbit Cha Cha like a thief, tiptoeing and quietly moving under the cabinet.

When they moved, they would definitely walk in the shadows. Once there was a slight movement in the outside world, they would immediately stop and carefully hide in the dark.

In this way, it took about three minutes for them to successfully move from under the cabinet on the far left to the door of the hall outside the storage room.

The whole process was basically smooth, but there was a small episode in the middle.

One of the pig heads cut by the chef did not fall into the black mud when it fell to the ground, but fell under the sink.

Coincidentally, the head of this pig head was aimed at Angel and Rabbit Cha Cha.

And this pig head seemed not to be completely dead yet, its eyes were still blinking, and Angel even saw the reflection of him and Cha Cha in the dark eyes of the pig head.

At that moment, Angel's heart skipped a beat.

Just when Angel thought they were discovered, the chef didn't even turn his head back, while chatting with the maid outside, he stretched out his foot and kicked the pig head into the black mud.

Slowly, the mud swallowed the pig head.

Until the pig head disappeared, Angel's mood, which had been raised to his throat, slowly fell.

It seems that they haven't been discovered yet? But the pig head obviously saw him and Cha Cha, will this cause any trouble?

Angel was very uneasy, but he couldn't ask Cha Cha now, so he could only keep his head down and follow Cha Cha to move forward.

It wasn't until they entered the hall outside the storage room and confirmed that there was no one here that Angel asked the doubts in his heart.

"You mean the pig head?" Rabbit Cha Cha paused and said softly: "Don't worry, they are all human and animals, even if they are discovered, there will be nothing..."

When Rabbit Cha Cha said this, a little dim flashed in his eyes.

"Human-animal?" It would have been fine if Rabbit Cha Cha hadn't explained it, but once he did, Angel couldn't understand it.

It was clearly a pig, why was it named "Human-animal"?

Facing Angel's doubts, Rabbit Cha Cha was silent for a moment and said, "Because they are all transformed by the animal-making technique."

Animal-making technique?

As Rabbit Cha Cha explained, Angel gradually understood what the animal-making technique was.

This is an extraordinary technique that turns living beings into meat animals. Most of those who were castrated were criminals from the Teapot Country. The criminals from the Teapot Country were basically humanoids. After these humanoids were transformed into edible meat animals, they were called human-animals.

"Edible meat animals... You mean, they turned the people of Teapot Country into food?"

Rabbit Cha Cha nodded and whispered: "This animal-making technique is very popular among the upper class of Teapot Country. They call it a punishment for criminals, but in my opinion, it just satisfies their evil food addiction. They seem to be eating pork... but the taste is actually completely different from real pork."

Angel had previously thought that this animal-making technique was a bit like the work of the dark gourmets in the Northern Territory wizard world, but after hearing what Rabbit Cha Cha said, he couldn't help shaking his head.

This is even a step further than the dark gourmets. The dark gourmets sacrificed their own kind to the devil, while the upper class nobles here ate their own kind.

This is really... an absurd country.

Rabbit Cha Cha: "Let's not talk about this. Anyway, there is no need to worry about being exposed. The human-animal just now has been dealt with."

Angel: "The mud on the ground?"

Rabbit Cha Cha nodded: "Those are carnivorous fungi, poisonous."

After a pause, Rabbit Cha Cha turned around and walked to the front: "The outer hall of the storage room is full of sundries, and the slightly more valuable ones are in the inner hall. If Earl Black Tea put the half-length mirror in the storage room, he must have put it in the inner hall. If you want to enter the inner hall, you have to climb the wall again. We have to hurry."

Rabbit Cha Cha talked about their next goal very naturally, but Angel felt something was wrong. Looking at Rabbit Cha Cha's back, Angel remembered the sadness in Rabbit Cha Cha's eyes when he mentioned humans and animals before.

Rabbit Cha Cha was unwilling to talk more and even took the initiative to change the subject. Is it because of this?

Angel didn't know what Rabbit Cha Cha was thinking. But at this moment, he felt that although this world was absurd, every creature here was very real.

Just like, it really existed.

"Alchemical Omen... What kind of operating mechanism is it?" Angel murmured in a low voice, with doubts and confusion flashing in his eyes, and finally he sighed and stopped thinking about it.

...

Rabbit Cha Cha was right. There was no half-length mirror in the outer hall of the storage room. There were all kinds of miscellaneous items piled up here. There were replacement teapots, dirty blankets, and various non-edible daily necessities, but they were basically dirty and old.

"Some of those in the outer hall will be cleaned, and some will be taken out and destroyed. The really good things and brand new things are all placed in the inner hall." Rabbit Cha Cha: "Look, it's here."

Rabbit Cha Cha pointed to an iron door deep inside.

This door was locked at this time. But there were ventilation holes right above the door, and the size of these holes was just enough for them to get in.

There was no way to climb the door directly, but the wall next to it could be climbed up.

It took them a few minutes to successfully climb up the wall crack with a suitable height, and then move towards the door little by little.

When they were about to reach the gate, Rabbit Chacha jumped onto the lock of the gate, and Angel followed. If it was before, Angel would have had a hard time jumping like this, but with the saddle as a "wing", it was much easier.

Climbing all the way from the lock of the gate, he soon reached the air hole.

Through the air hole, Angel could already see the environment inside the storage room.

It was indeed full of good things as Rabbit Chacha said, but most of them were daily necessities and teapots with unique shapes.

At first glance, there was no half-length mirror.

However, there were cabinets blocking many places, and Angel could not see the specific situation.

"At present, it seems that there is no half-length mirror you want. Do you want to go in and take a look?" Rabbit Chacha turned around and asked.

Angel nodded: "Go in and take a look."

In order to be on the safe side, Angel was still ready 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 coming back from outside. She entered the storage room and began to sort out the supplies here.

When the patrol maid didn't notice, Angel and Rabbit Chacha quietly got out of a teapot, and then walked out quickly through the crack of the inner hall door.

The whole process was safe and sound.

They returned to the outer hall of the storage room. The only regret was that Angel didn't find the half-length mirror in the ten-minute search.

It means that Earl Black Tea didn't put the half-length mirror in the storage room after he came back.

Although Angel felt a little regretful, at least he had tried one wrong, and there were only two places left, the study or the treasure house.

The guards of the treasure house were too strict, and it was underground, so it was a bit difficult to run. If it was really in the treasure house, a more detailed sneak plan was needed.

So, the next place Angel chose was the study.

The study was upstairs, and the stairs were on the left side of the main hall, which meant that they had to go through the kitchen and the main hall again to reach the stairs upstairs.

Although he had experienced it once, Angel didn't 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. Instead, he continued to chop the pig's head while mixing some kind of poisonous sauce.

However, in general, it was still easy to sneak away.

This time, Angel and Rabbit Chacha only took two minutes to return to the main hall.

The changes in the main hall were much greater. Both maids retracted their snake-like heads. The maid who had been chatting with the chef before went to the door and cleaned 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 look for cockroaches at this time, but wiped the porcelain vase in a casual manner.

The main hall changed a lot, but the overall difficulty was much smaller than before.

Because the maid at the door had her back to them, and the maid who ate cockroaches did not pay attention to the ground, they had a lot more space to hide, and they no longer had to walk in the air.

The method they chose was the same as in the kitchen, relying on moving to constantly enter the shadows of the furniture and the blind spots of the two maids.

In this way, they successfully walked back to the left side of the main hall.

Passing through the thick curtains, they came to the corridor leading to the atrium pond. However, they did not go towards the pond, but towards the stairs.

Because the puppet maids were not good at climbing stairs, and other servants would not go upstairs at this time, they boldly chose to take the stairs.

However, even if there were no servants to interfere, it was not easy to walk up the stairs.

The main reason was that they were too small.

From the first floor to the second floor, there were two stairs, each with twelve floors, a total of twenty-four floors. Angel had a hard time climbing each flight of stairs. Fortunately, the stairs were also covered with carpets. Although they were tired, at least they would not slip.

When they climbed to the last floor of the second flight of stairs, Rabbit Chacha suddenly signaled Angel to stop.

In fact, without Rabbit Chacha's reminder, Angel had already stopped climbing because he had heard a creaking sound coming from the corridor on the second floor.

There was no doubt that this was the patrol maid on the second floor.

The patrol maid would not go downstairs, but would patrol back and forth on the second floor from time to time.

Angel and Rabbit Chacha were waiting with bated breath. As long as the patrol maid patrolled a circle and stayed away from here, they could climb to the second floor.

The staircase of the main building was built at the end. After the patrol maid came over, she looked down casually and saw no one, so she started to walk back.

After confirming that the maid's footsteps were beginning to fade away, Angel and Rabbit Chacha immediately climbed to the second floor.

Then they climbed the stairs to the third floor without stopping.

Just like that, while avoiding the patrol maid, they climbed the stairs. It took them a quarter of an hour to finally reach the fourth floor where the study was located.

…

The study of the Earl of Black Tea was not far from the staircase on the fourth floor.

According to Rabbit Chacha, as long as they avoided the patrol maid, they could go directly to the study. There was no need to worry about not being able to get in, because there was a special entrance for tea servants on the door of the study.

Tea servants could quietly enter the study through the entrance and exit and place snacks, food and tea.

They could completely go to the study through the entrance and exit of the tea servant.

Along the way, the rabbit Cha Cha also boasted about his record of sneaking into the earl's study. He had stolen a hat from the earl's study and it was still hidden in the rabbit hole.

But for some reason, the more confident the rabbit Cha Cha was, the more Angel felt that he had a bad premonition.

Soon, the premonition came true.

When they quietly poked their heads out and prepared to take a look at the study, Angel and the rabbit Cha Cha were stunned.

A fully armed puppet guard, like a wooden stake, stood at the door of the study motionlessly.
