Star Railway: The Last of the Grammer Riders

Chapter 152 Cat makes great contributions

Speaking of cats, our little Paddy is on a treasure hunt again.

To be precise, it means going back to the treasure point to retrieve the treasures you've hidden.

However, to her shock, all the treasures at the treasure point had disappeared!
Especially the gems she hid deepest.

A black gemstone that looks quite ordinary.

Although it looked ordinary, her intuition and luck told her that this thing was definitely worth a lot of money!

Therefore, she intentionally or unintentionally hid the gem very well, and even used many treasures to conceal her existence.

But in the end, nothing was left here.

They've all disappeared.

And it's the kind that leaves no trace.

Even a cunning rabbit has three burrows, let alone a cat?
To prevent the treasures from being seized all at once, she hid them in hard-to-find places in various areas of the Golden Moment.

They're found on rooftops, in gutters, and in the spaces behind money-printing machines. Some are even hidden on the eaves of cafes.

But just like before, all the treasures disappeared.

In the end, Pado's eyes were vacant and her expression was downcast. The cat earlobes on her head fell down, which proved that her heart was broken.

Pado's appearance naturally caught everyone's attention.

"Sister Pado, what's wrong?" asked March 7, who was naturally outgoing.

“My treasure… is gone… all gone…” Pado cried.

"Huh? So, Sister Pado, you've been disappearing all this time because you're looking for treasure?"

"Yeah, I heard Pinocchio is a place where every inch of land is incredibly valuable, so I thought I'd see if I could find anything good. Sigh... I did find some, but now it's all gone..."

"Huh? Sister Pado, you said you found something great?! Where did you find it?!" March 7th said with some surprise.

"Oh, it's a black gem. It looks alright, but it's rather ordinary among a group of gems. However, my intuition tells me it's definitely something good!" Pado explained vividly. "It's strange, actually. I found this gem by chance in a trash can. Of course, I didn't rummage through the trash can; I just happened to be throwing away the garbage when I glanced at it!"

"Really?! You found it in the trash can?" March 7th exclaimed in shock. "Something that Sister Pado said was a good thing was thrown into the trash can?"

“March, look, I told you there’s definitely something good in the trash can!” Xing said very seriously.

"A gemstone? Black?" Danheng felt like he'd heard it somewhere before as Pado described it. "Miss Pado, could you describe the gemstone in more detail? Or could you take us to where you've hidden your treasure? I have a feeling... this is far from simple."

“Oh, the gem is said to be black, but when we shine a light on it, it flashes a purple light, which is quite beautiful. Also, the gem's frame seems to have some kind of metal, but we don't know what kind of metal it is,” Pado explained.

"Oh, that gem sounds perfect for Mei!" Kiana said after listening to Patto's description.

“But this must have been accidentally left behind by someone else. We should return it to the owner if we have the chance. After all, judging from the description, this gem might not be expensive, but it must be something the owner cherishes.” Mei replied.

“Okay, I understand. I have some guesses about that gem, but before that, I need to go to the place where Miss Pado hid her treasure to confirm it.” Danheng said, as if he had thought of something.

“Alright, I’ll take you to see my treasure trove now,” Pado said as she walked out.

“I won’t go. I don’t know what’s wrong, Nasita seems to be very sleepy ever since she came back from Liumeng Reef. I’ll just stay here and keep her company,” Jiang Tianxing said gently, stroking the sleeping Nasita.

“Yes… I might have used up too much power. I’m also feeling a bit sleepy,” Xiao Shi agreed.

"So... haha... I also feel sleepy for no reason." March 7th also felt inexplicably sleepy.

"Wait a minute... this is a big problem now. Don't forget... we're in a dream right now! Do you think we'd want to sleep in a dream?!" Gongsun Ming reminded them.

The group of people, who were initially sleepy, suddenly lost their sleepiness.

Yes! We're dreaming! Why would we want to sleep?
“It seems… there are serious problems within Pinocene…” Himeko said.

"Yes, according to that self-destructor, Pinocone is not safe right now. Even the real Lady Black Tower is on her way."

"Sigh...it seems the situation is really bad right now," Himeko said, somewhat troubled.

“Miss Pado, please lead the way,” Danheng said.

"Understood. But everyone, remember to stick close to me." After saying that, Pado disappeared from the spot.

It's important to know that Pado is a fusion warrior, and although her overall combat strength is the weakest, her speed is definitely the fastest.

It was so fast Kevin couldn't catch up. "Nasita... wake up... Nasita?" Jiang Tianxing had a bad feeling and tried to wake Nasita, but he failed.

Jiang Tianxing's expression gradually became serious, but after checking Naxida's pulse, he found that she had simply entered a deep sleep and there was nothing wrong with her.

If Nasita had really been in trouble, he would have already started a massive, deliberate collapse.

Jiang Tianxing picked up Naxida and got up to follow the departing crowd.

Pado's First Treasure Site
Dan Heng squatted down and began to observe the clues around him.

But in the end, they found no trace of it.

To be precise, there was some, but not very deep. You could tell the other person was very light and moved very gracefully.

Uh… okay, this was left over from Operation Pado.

So that means...

No one has ever been here except for Pado.

But that would be a big problem.

No one else came besides Paddo, so where did Paddo's treasure go?

"As expected..." Dan Heng confirmed many things based on the information here.

"Now we have good news and bad news."

"Good news? Tell me quickly!" March 7th asked eagerly upon hearing that Danheng had good news.

"They're fine, but we're the ones in trouble. We're now in another dream world. Not the original golden hour. The truth is, Miss Paddo's treasure isn't here. Because this isn't where Miss Paddo's treasure is located at all."

"In other words... this is a deep dream? Instead of the original golden moment?" Gongsun Ming replied.

“I’m afraid that’s the answer. And that’s why we can’t see anyone else.” Just as Dan Heng said this, the people walking outside the alley suddenly stopped.

He looked at them with a half-smile.

"Oh dear, I didn't expect to miss such a detail... I never thought the thief would hide the item here, what a blunder!" they said in unison.

The sounds remained constant, like a series of manipulated puppets.

"Now that you have discovered the secret of this 'dream,' come to the Grand Theater. The final stage is ready, awaiting your arrival." After saying this, heads fell to the ground, corpses littering the ground.

In an instant, the land of dreams turned into a road to hell.

Bloodstains, flames, and decapitated corpses were everywhere.

Everyone frowned deeply upon seeing this scene, finding it utterly unacceptable.

But what worries them more is the strength of the mastermind behind it all.

Can they really win?

To control and kill so many people in an instant is something no ordinary person could do.

In addition, Dan Heng had previously mentioned that the Black Tower himself would be visiting, which means that the enemy they would be facing this time would be at the level of an Envoy.

It might even be close to the Star God?
or…

throne.

Seeing this hellish scene enraged Kiana, bringing back unpleasant memories.

The same applies to others.

The crowd, filled with emotion, entered the grand theater.

The hunting dogs that had been blocking the road all knelt down and fell silent.

You only know what it means when you step inside...

A true hell.

　Hehe, you were careless, weren't you?
