Where did Chapter 1488 go? (Today I got the revelation)

"Um……………"

When Duanmu Huai returned to the base, he saw a very rare scene—Mary was standing in front of the table, frowning, looking deep in thought, as if she was very distressed.

"What's wrong, Mary?"

It was rare to see Mary looking so sad, so Duanmu Huai walked up to her curiously and asked.

"It's rare to see you like this, what happened?"

"Ah, Mr. Duanmu."

When Mary heard Duanmu Huai calling her, she came back to her senses.

"It's not a big deal, actually. I think I'm missing a cup..."

"A teacup is missing?"

Duanmu Huai glanced at the tray on the table in front of Mary. This young lady was very keen on afternoon tea, almost every day. So it was natural for her to carry tea sets with her. After all, she had a space pocket from the world of Faerun, so she could easily carry a pot of hot tea, let alone tea sets.

In fact, Mary did often carry a pot of hot tea with her.

"Don't you usually keep your things in your space pocket?"

"Yes, and most of the time, Miss An, I and others will have afternoon tea here. I will provide tea cups according to the number of people each time..."

As she spoke, Mary began to think again.

"When we had afternoon tea before, it was me, Miss An, Miss Satori, Miss Alicia, Miss Himiko, Miss Xier... six people, six cups. But now there are only five left..."

"Maybe it was lost. It's just a cup. If it's lost, it's lost. Anyway, I remember you have a lot of them."

Duanmu Huai obviously didn't care much about such trivial matters.

"Perhaps you can also go to Fulilian and see if she can find a spell for you to 'find the lost cup' from the 'Grandma's Life Encyclopedia Magic Book'."

"Mr. Duanmu, you'd better not say that in front of Miss Fulilian. Last time you called her an old woman, she was angry for several months."

  “I can only say that the little girl is short and narrow-minded. It takes her several months to remember such a small thing… Never mind, let’s ignore her. By the way, is that cup very valuable?

"It's not that it's expensive, but it's a little strange because basically no one comes here except us... right?"

"Of course."

Although this is a lounge, it is a lounge that only fusion warriors and people from the Inquisition are allowed to enter. The lounge for ordinary staff is not here.

Since it was just a small matter like losing a cup, Duanmu Huai didn't bother to care about it anymore. But just as he turned around and was about to leave, he saw the door of the lounge open, and then An walked in with his head lowered, staring at the ground, as if looking for something.

"What's wrong, An? Why are you walking without looking ahead but at your feet? Are you picking up money?"

"Ah, Mr. Knight."

An raised his head and saw Duanmu Huai here. He was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses.

"Nothing, I'm just looking for something."

"Looking for something?"

"Well, the pendant on my bag is missing......"

As she spoke, An opened her hands and gestured to Duanmu Huai. Duanmu Huai also noticed something was wrong. Usually, An always had a waist bag around her waist, which contained her magic book. Now, An had her magic book in her hand, but the blue crystal pendant hanging from the waist bag was gone.

"What happened? Lost it?"

"Uh...I can't remember clearly. Maybe I threw it somewhere when I was changing clothes?"

"Just as long as you didn't lose the spellbook."

A mere pendant could be lost, but Ann's magic book must not be lost, as it contained all her magic hard work. If it was really lost, I'm afraid Ann would want to commit suicide.

“That’s what I said, but… oh, never mind, it’s lost, I can use this excuse to ask Gu Leiya to give me one as a gift, hehehe, as long as I act a little pitiful, Gu Leiya will definitely listen to me.”

Looking at An who showed a strange smile, Duanmu Huai shook his head speechlessly and said, "Wipe the saliva from the corner of your mouth first." At this time, seeing An come in, Mary looked at her and asked.

"Miss An, have you seen my teacup?"

"The teacup? Isn't it right there?"

"But one is missing. I have been looking for it for a long time but I still don't know where I put it."

"Huh? Really? Let me see..."

Hearing this, An immediately came over curiously and looked at the tea tray carefully.

"Really? There's a teacup missing. Where did it go?"

“I don’t know either…”

Looking at this scene, Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes silently.

Forget it, it has nothing to do with me anyway.

Duanmu Huai ignored them and turned around to leave, just then someone else walked in.

"Ah, teacher... Sanatori is here!" The one who appeared here was none other than Menme Sanatori. Although her body was pierced during the battle against the 11th Herrscher, but looking at her lively appearance now, we know that she should be fine... Well, anyway, she is now Duanmu Huai's former follower, and she will not die so easily unless her head is chopped off.

Maybe you won’t die even if your head is chopped off.

"What? You lost something too?"

"Lost something? What did Satori lose?"

"That's okay."

Seeing Mianmu Sanatori looking at him with a puzzled look, Duanmu Huai shrugged his shoulders. Now it seems that this is indeed just an accident. But then again, how could anyone lose things at the same time?

Just when Duanmu Huai was about to leave, Menmu Sanori came up and circled around Duanmu Huai.

"Teacher, why is the one on you gone?"

"That one? Which one is that?"

"this."

As he spoke, Menme-satori stretched out his hand and pointed at Duanmu Huai's shoulder.

"Satori remembers you had a long strip here."

"Oh, you mean the lacquer seal?"

Duanmu Huai lowered his head and glanced at his clothes. The clothes he was wearing now were all taken from Guilliman of Macragge when Duanmu Huai traveled back in time. After all, as the Grand Inquisitor representing the Tribunal, his clothes still had to look impressive. So Duanmu Huai usually wore this set of standard attire for an Inquisitor, a stand-up collar windbreaker, a wide-brimmed hat, a leather vest, long coat and trousers, and long riding boots.

Of course, the Empire's iconic lacquer seal is also indispensable. That is actually a piece of parchment with sealing wax covered on the shoulder. In the 40K era, the chastity seal is mainly used to resist the erosion of chaos to a certain extent. Of course, its essence is similar to Taoist runes or sticking a Bible on the body. Whether it is useful or not is just a psychological effect.

But for Duanmu Huai, it was naturally just a decoration.

"Maybe it fell."

Duanmu Huai took a look and found that the lacquer seal was indeed gone, and he didn't know where it fell. But originally this thing was just a decoration for him, it didn't matter whether it was there or not. Duanmu Huai had been fighting like this for a while, maybe he didn't know where the thing went.

"Forget it, it's just a small decoration anyway. If it's gone, it's gone. Don't worry about it."

To Duanmu Huai, this was just a meaningless episode.

At this moment, deep inside a warehouse of the Fire Moth, a petite figure quietly slipped in. She looked around, then came to a corner and turned on a small light. The dim firelight illuminated the environment in the corner and also reflected the surrounding debris.

"call………"

The shadow breathed a sigh of relief and placed the things in his hands on the floor one by one.

"Really? Pado never expected that he would be transformed into a fusion warrior just to buy some goods from the Fire Moth... If he had known this would happen, Pado should not have come. But never mind, since we are here, we might as well make the best of it. It would be quite interesting to buy goods from another place. Hmm... Let Pado see what we have gained this time..."

As he spoke, the black shadow took out a white porcelain teacup and examined it carefully.

"This cup is well made and feels great! It's great for drinking tea. I don't know who left it on the table, but it doesn't matter. Since Padu found it, it belongs to Padu."

The shadow carefully examined the cup in his hand, then put it down and picked up a small and exquisite gem pendant. Under the illumination of the kerosene lamp, the pendant emitted a faint, rainbow-like glow, and seeing this, the shadow's eyes widened.

“Wow… this, this is so beautiful! It’s even more beautiful than the previous gems! Woo… It’s decided, from now on, you are number one in Padu’s collection! Hehehe, such a good thing fell on the ground and no one saw it. Fortunately, Padu saw it. Padu’s luck is indeed invincible!”

While humming a song, the black shadow put the small pendant treasure into the box beside him, and then took out the third one...

"What is this?"

With the help of the light, the black shadow stared curiously at the strange thing in her hand. In fact, she didn't know what it was. She was just walking on the road at the time and saw this thing next to her, so she subconsciously picked it up automatically... Anyway, no matter whether it is useful or not, she will know after she gets it back.

  But what is this?

The shadow could see that there was a red wax on the top of the thing, and inside it was a skull, staring at him viciously, which looked a bit scary. There were also two pieces of paper underneath, and they said... What was written on them?

Looking at the crooked words, the black shadow frowned. She squinted her eyes and moved the paint seal closer to the kerosene lamp, wanting to take a closer look at what was written on it.

However, at this moment, something unexpected happened.

  Under the light of the kerosene lamp, those black, twisted words suddenly seemed to come alive and turned into tiny poisonous snakes that began to twist and coil!

"Hey?"

Seeing this scene, the black shadow widened his eyes in surprise, then reached out his hand, rubbed his eyes carefully, and looked at the notes again.

The next moment, the distorted words suddenly flew out from the note and went straight into the palm of the black shadow holding the note!

"Alas-----!"

The black shadow screamed, hurriedly threw away the paint seal in his hand, jumped back like a frightened cat, and hid in the dark shadows.

“…………………………”

For a moment, the entire warehouse was silent. After a while, the dark shadow seemed to find nothing strange and cautiously walked out from behind the cargo box. He slowly came to the kerosene lamp, stretched out his hand and looked carefully. Under the light, the hands were still white and tender, without any change, and the paint print lay quietly on the ground, seemingly unchanged.

"Wow... Is this an illusion?"

  The black shadow scratched his head and looked at the lacquer seal with a complicated expression. Although he wanted to throw it away, but... after all, it was something he bought himself. Wouldn't it be a pity to just throw it away?

　Let me first give you some background: I had been saving stones to draw spiritual sand, and I didn't draw anything else. I saved more than 1. Then when the spiritual sand came, I drew a spiritual sand and a light cone, and I stopped with 8 left.

　　Then at noon today, when I was writing an update, an idea suddenly came to my mind that I wanted to draw a Lingsha. Since I still had 7K stones left, I thought it would be okay to draw one more, so I decisively opened the game, entered the card pool, did a ten-draw—and then it came out.

　　It’s amazing…
