"Did you feel that something was off? I had the same feeling."
Gu Qing Shan spoke with a trace of unease.
Moon God looked at him and said without thinking, "That's true... You were there when Weapon Child died, too."
That was it!
Gu Qing Shan praised her silently, then said, "I went back to that camp just now and found it had been abandoned."
"You mean the camp Weapon Child established?" Moon God asked.
"Exactly," Gu Qing Shan replied.
Moon God sighed, her expression complicated. "The whole organization went through untold hardships to gather nine fragments in that most desolate place and summon the Sea of Weapons..."
"I heard they lost quite a few people," Gu Qing Shan said.
"That's right. There are actually places where fragments are easy to obtain," Moon God said.
"What about the Sea of Weapons?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"That's the hardest place," Moon God replied.
"Strange. Why would we choose the difficult path instead of the easy one?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"That's the question," Moon God said.
Gu Qing Shan fell into thought.
It was easy enough to guess.
The person behind all this had probably wanted to take on the highest difficulty right away, which had caused the Miracle Card Set to suffer heavy losses.
Now the mastermind had learned their lesson and was preparing to start again in an easier area.
Strange.
If it was hard to obtain fragments in the Sea of Weapons...
Had his battle just now been a little too easy...?
Gu Qing Shan's thoughts raced, but this wasn't the time to keep pondering. He needed to speak.
He said gravely, "Moon God, something's wrong. We're not fools, so why did we insist on looking for fragments in the hardest and most dangerous place? I suspect—"
