13 Mink Street

"Mr. Cullen, please forgive me for making my own decisions."

Mrs. Lake, wearing a black gauze dress, stood in front of Karen and bowed to Karen in apology.

She had arranged for her husband's memorial service to coincide with Dincombe's funeral.

"No, your arrangement is very good, ma'am. Dincombe was also a member of this funeral society, and he also died to protect this place."

Before Dingcombe died, he should have mistaken the assassin for himself, and with his strength, it was impossible to pose any threat to the assassin; but as an employee here, he stood on the front line, and at the same time his death It also bought time for the pu'er in the backyard, so he really protected the funeral club.

"Thank you for your understanding." Mrs. Lake straightened up, with a smile on her face, "You just came back, you should be tired, do you need to take a rest first?"

"No."

"That..." Mrs. Lake hesitated to speak.

"Ma'am, what can you say directly?"

"It's like this. Mr. Alfred made a proposal to us yesterday, and will arrange Doradoline and me to live in a safe place."

"oh?"

"Didn't Mr. Alfred tell you?" Mrs. Lake immediately realized something, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to report in private."

"No, it's okay, I won't think about that. I have been outside for the past few days and haven't contacted Alfred."

"That's right, that, Mr. Karen, I agree with this plan, because I feel that I and my two daughters have been taken care of by you for too long, we can't help you, but will become your burden, so I think We should live out alone."

"Okay." Karen nodded, "I will instruct Pu'er to go to your place regularly to check Doradoline's physical condition."

"Thank you, thank you, Mr. Cullen."

Karen did not keep Mrs. Lake, although he was used to the lovely twin sisters who occasionally appeared in front of him when he was reading the newspaper in the backyard. Sometimes, more people were needed in the family to create a family atmosphere.

However, this incident has already reminded him that he can recognize any danger he encounters outside, whether it is on the bright side or the dark side, but he does not want to be "stolen" in this situation. Go through it a second time.

Now that the Naton family is gone anyway, it is safer for Mrs. Lake to leave her with her two children. When Mr. Pavaro passed away, they did not belong to the church circle.

Mrs. Lake turned and walked out of the study. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Alfred standing at the door:

"Mr. Alfred, you are back, Mr. Cullen is inside."

"OK, all right."

When Alfred walked in, he closed the study door and knelt down in front of Karen.

"Master, I am guilty."

Karen smiled and said, "Why, do you have to play the game of 'You are not at fault' and 'No, I am at fault'?

Go get me a glass of ice water, I'm thirsty. "

"Yes, master."

Alfred stood up quickly and poured Karen a glass of ice water.

When putting down the glass, Karen reached out and grabbed Alfred's wrist, rolling up his sleeves.

After staring at Alfred's arm for a while, Karen ordered: "Open your succubus eyes."

Alfred hesitated for a moment, but still opened the eyes of the succubus. His eyes showed a strange depth, but at the same time, a black meridian appeared from his wrist, along the upper edge of the arm and passed through the neck. When it touched his eyes, many other black meridians appeared, all converging towards the eyes.

Originally, even if Alfred opened the eyes of the succubus, he could give people the feeling of a very elegant gentleman, but now, he showed a kind of hideousness.

However, when the succubus eyes were opened, all perceptions in the study began to distort, and an old man was squeezed out from the bookshelf.

"Huh?"

The old man let out a doubt.

Immediately, Alfred looked at him subconsciously, and the old man immediately went back in fright.

"Alfred."

Alfred looked at Karen, the effect of the succubus eye was not turned off.

In an instant, Karen began to bear the phantom attack from Alfred, but Karen himself also had the eyes of the dark moon, his eyes turned dark red, and an invisible collision unfolded, and the air immediately filled with harsh friction sounds , the desk began to tremble, the bookshelves began to fall, and the chandelier above the study room was directly blown to pieces.

Alfred took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

The red in Karen's eyes also faded immediately, and he said, "You absorbed it too impatiently, you should know the consequences of doing so, it will make you sink into the illusion and be unable to distinguish the reality clearly."

After Compasini's inheritance is "swallowed", absorption is a long process. Alfred's coma before is because his soul is still in the stage of integration with the inheritance. After being accommodated, he needs to keep ruminating , Beat slowly, fall off, dissolve and absorb.

But Alfred was clearly crushing it with his teeth and swallowing it, which would easily make him lost.

Alfred pursed his lips and said:

"Master, this time, please don't stop me, because you can't imagine how I felt lying there unconscious when I learned that something happened at home.

I had to do something, to ease my pain, to distract myself from the fact that I was a joke.

As you just said, we don't have to play games like 'it's my fault' and 'it's not my fault'. "

Karen let go of Alfred's wrist and nodded.

What happened that night will change many people. After all, nothing can stimulate a person more than an accident at home.

"Master, don't worry that I will get lost. When I get there, I will call out to you, Master, and you will appear in my heart to guide me who is lost. I firmly believe it."

Karen sighed and said, "You have to pay attention to yourself. After all, what we are after is to master more power, not to be a captive of power."

"I know, master."

"Ms. Lake and the others, have you made any arrangements?"

"Yes, because the headquarters will be expanded, there will be an extra dormitory building. The subordinates think that they can place their homes there in the future. Since they can't contact you, the subordinates will make the arrangements first. If you don't want to, young master satisfy……"

"Okay, that's it."

Having the protection of the defensive circle extending from the headquarters building at home really reassures people a lot. Even the original Mrs. Fisher did not dare to go to the headquarters building to find Philomena.

"By the way, where's Kevin?"

"It was picked up by the director in the morning, and he said he wanted to ask it to help advise on the blueprint of the formation change."

"Yeah." Karen stood up, "Clean up here, I'll go to the mourning hall."

"Okay, master."

Karen walked out of the study, just in time to see her maid standing in the aisle.

Xi Li's eyes were flushed, and at first glance, she thought that her eyes had acquired some kind of inheritance and was launching an offensive against her.

When the maid saw Karen, she couldn't control her emotions for an instant, she threw herself in front of Karen, and hugged Karen tightly:

"Wuuu, young master, I don't want to leave you, I still want to continue to serve you, young master, I can't bear to part with you..."

"this……"

"Master, I will only wear jeans from now on, okay, the tightest kind."

What's going on here?

Do maids also need to be fired after moving?

At this time, Alfred stood at the door of the study with a lamp residue in his hand, and said:

"Hey Li, I didn't say I would fire you. Do you know that Mrs. Lake and the others are going to move out and we are going to move? This has nothing to do with you, you will move with us."

"Forehead……"

Hearing this, Shirley suddenly became emotionally incoherent.

Thinking about what he said earlier that he would take the initiative to wear skinny jeans, his face flushed instantly.

She wasn't ashamed of saying that she would take the initiative to show off her figure to keep her, but she felt guilty for comparing her young master to a master who covets her body.

After all, if Karen is really the same host as those dirty old people, she should have been lying on the young master's bed long ago, and she can take the initiative without forcing.

"Okay, okay, don't cry."

Karen reached out and patted Shirley on the back lightly.

He is still reluctant to part with this maid, after all, her current cooking skills are very suitable for his own taste, and the afternoon tea she makes can also satisfy Pu'er.

"I'm fine, young master, hee hee."

Xili reluctantly let go of Karen's hand.

"By the way, have you prepared the light meal for the mourning hall?"

"I made spring rolls, eggplant pancakes, and white fungus and lotus seed soup. Do you think there is anything else I need to add?"

"No, that's enough."

Karen walked towards the front hall, just in time to see Pique walking over with an iron pan in his left hand and a large bundle of "coupons" in his right.

"Boss, this is Mr. Alfred's order, and it is your meaning."

"Well, let's make a fire."

"Yes, boss."

Pick picked up the lighter and lit it, then threw the rough-printed "coupons" into it little by little, and said:

"Dincomb should be very happy, he has never seen so many points in his life.

Oh, by the way, Mr. Pavaro will also be happy. He used to be so busy trying to earn some coupons, just to buy medicine for Doradoline. "

Karen pulled a small bench and sat down next to the iron pot, picked up a roll of "coupons", and began to put them in it.

Almost all sacrificial activities are for the living, and the paper money is actually burned for the "living".

The two coffins placed on the mortuary table are closed. Pavaro has no body. His body has been buried long ago, and it is impossible to dig it out and re-bury it again; Dincombe’s body was pressed into a thin paper No matter how good Mrs. Lake's technique was, she couldn't allow him to receive Zhan's condolences normally, so neither coffin opened.

In front of the two posthumous photos, there are two lit white candles, creating a solemn feeling.

This time, Alfred arranged almost all of the ideas that Karen talked about when chatting with Alfred before. Even Karen himself did not expect that the first practice was for his own people.

"Anyone in Dincomb's family?" Karen asked.

"He has a younger brother who is studying in a church school, and his parents... Well, boss, you don't have to worry about these, Mr. Alfred has already arranged the subsidy."

"Um."

This allowance was not issued by the divine religion, but by himself.

There is also such a tradition in Neo. For the pensions of dead or severely disabled subordinates, his share will not be lower than that given by the church.

At this time, a car came outside, and a thin middle-aged man in a white suit got out of the car. The middle-aged man glanced at the sign of the funeral club, confirmed it, and then walked inside.

Pique stood up and went to receive the reception, but the man bypassed Pique and came to Karen, wondering, "Huh, is it so extravagant? Oh, it's fake."

Karen raised his head, looked at him, threw the last bit of paper money into the iron pot with his left hand, spread out his right hand, and the sword of Diamans, which was leaning on the corner of the wall, flew directly into Karen's hand, pointing at the man.

"Hey, hey, don't be like this, don't be like this, I'm here to mourn."

"But you didn't go through the etiquette process of mourning. Since you are here, you should know what happened here a while ago, so even if I overreact to a strange visitor, I believe the higher-ups will understand."

Karen didn't hide his killing intent. When the person in front of him used his body skills to avoid Pique, he had enough reason to attack him.

Therefore, it is indeed necessary to move. I have passed the early days, and now my job is easy to make enemies, so it is really inappropriate to place my family here.

"Yes, I was negligent."

The man went to Pique, signed the mourning list, and then took out a letter of payment tied with a black veil, and handed it to Pique, which meant that he really came to mourn.

"Mr. Gus, hello." Peake bowed halfway to the man.

Gus returned the salute: "My condolences."

After finishing the process, Gus walked up to Karen, squatted down, and took the initiative to pick up a stack of "coupons" and burned them like Karen did before.

"My name is Gus Rand Saleen. The great crypt is the home of my heart."

Crypt of Faith?

The Crypt God Religion... is generally not called a God Religion, because in the last era, it did not have a main god, and even did not have a separate belief. It is a church composed of seven gods. It is understandable into a guild.

And among these seven gods, only one is of human origin, and the other six are either monsters or strange demons. They have a common theme, that is, to worship the crypt, because it is said that these seven gods all came from a mysterious crypt back then. In addition, this crypt is not a specific location, because the experiences of the seven gods before becoming gods do not have an intersection, and the description of the crypt is more like a kind of "enlightenment in a dream".

Therefore, although it is called the Crypt God Religion, there is no Crypt God, but a church formed by a group of gods who worship the Crypt.

The status of the Crypt God Cult is similar to that of the previous Pamires Cult. The difference is that the Pamirus Cult was only recently listed as its own affiliated God Cult by the Cult of Order, while the Crypt God Cult was in the last era. Early days, that is.

In the early part of the last era, there was a war between the camp of light and the camp of eternity. The God of Order also fought for the God of Light in the camp of light. The seven gods of the Crypt God Sect often stood beside the God of Order and fought together.

It is said that this is the arrangement of the God of Light, but more people are willing to believe that they are the first group of entourage gods who responded and followed the God of Order.

Because in the middle of the last era, several main gods joined forces to break down the secrets of the so-called "crypt", because they felt that there might be many inheritances hidden in it, and it was the God of Order who stood up and stopped For those main gods, it was clearly recorded in the mythology that the God of Light had personally intervened to mediate this conflict.

In the second part of the last era, when the God of Light disappeared and the God of Order ruled, many gods were either their own main gods or branch gods, and almost all of them were suppressed by the God of Order. The gods are always safe.

After entering this era, the gods of both sides are gone. It is an extremely loosely organized Crypt God Cult. In order to preserve itself, it can only further attach itself to the Cult of Order. the existence of believers.

Therefore, at this stage, the priests of order's understanding of the Crypt God Sect are basically... my followers.

These believers of the Crypt God Cult can even shout like the believers of Order: "Praise the God of Order." Because in their cognition, the identity of the Crypt God Cult is more like a guild they joined.

The prototype of the strange demon organization that Alfred started to form very early on was actually the Crypt God Sect.

"What's the matter?" Karen asked.

"I just came to York City, and I have known about you for a long time. I also heard about the assassination case that happened not long ago. Well, I got some news, so I wanted to come and have a look, but I didn't expect you to come back."

"What's the matter?" Karen asked again.

"It's nothing, I just want to get to know each other and make some connections, it's very simple."

"oh."

Karen continued to burn the paper, and Gus helped burn the paper.

After a long silence, Gus couldn't help asking: "You have nothing to talk about?"

"Sorry, I don't have much mood to chat right now."

"Oh, I understand, it's fine."

"If you insist on talking, what does your body look like?"

"Aha, sure, happy to show you."

Gus shook his body, his hands and face outside his clothes were all turned into white bones, crystal clear:

"This is my body. I use a toothbrush to carefully clean my bones every night. How about it, is it smooth?"

"Um."

"You can reach out and touch it."

"No."

"Oh well."

Gus turned back into a human form, with a little regret on his face.

At this time, another person came outside, Bishop Bern.

He didn't wear casual clothes, he was still wearing a red bishop's robe.

When he walked in, Gus stood up with a very prim expression.

Pique bit the bullet and walked towards the Bishop of Bern. The Bishop of Bern picked up a pen, signed it, and took out a letter of deposit.

Immediately afterwards, Bishop Bern walked towards the mortuary table and stopped in front of Pavaro's photo.

This stop is a long time.

He said he would come to Pavaro's memorial service and he would come "in person" to make amends.

Then he turned around, just glanced at the photo of Dingcomb, without stopping.

Bishop Berne glanced at Gus, and said to Karen, "Know him?"

Karen replied: "Just met."

"Oh, why, you want to choose Karen?"

Gus waved his hand awkwardly: "I'm just curious, so I came to see you and want to get to know each other."

Bishop Bourne said to Karen: "The Crypt Cult is very similar to the Principia Cult. They both have a tradition, that is, to be partners with my Order God Cult, but the Crypt God Cult is more inclined to seek order. The whip holder, the first whip holder of the Order Whip has an entourage from the Crypt God Sect, and it was arranged by Lord Tiranus."

"Oh, that's right." Karen suddenly realized.

"But you don't need to worry, you can choose carefully now, he is a good guy, but not the best."

It's somewhat disrespectful to describe someone in this way, and in front of them, but Bishop Berne doesn't care about it.

Gus didn't dare to show an angry look on his face.

"The dragon next to the whipman belongs to the Crypt God Sect, one of the seven gods of the Crypt God Sect in the mythology, there is a rebellious dragon with dual attributes of water and fire.

But Mr. Augie has converted to my order. After all, this is no psychological pressure for them. "

Karen knew that this was Bourne reminding himself that he could pick better ones later, so don't worry.

But there is one thing Karen knows very well, that is, priests of order and priests of principle can be partners in the true sense, but the Whip of Order and the believers of the Crypt God Cult are not partners in the conventional sense, but more like a master-servant.

Lord Auggie, but he has thought about using Rathma's hand to break away from the whipman's seal.

But there may be some things, because Gus was present, it was inconvenient for Bourne to elaborate, or Karen didn't press the question very urgently, so he didn't bother to say it.

"Did you not notify your subordinates when you came back, so deserted?"

"No." Karen shook his head, "I will go to work tomorrow, and today is still a business day off."

"Heh, today is also the funeral of the Chief's family. It starts at two o'clock in the afternoon. It's almost time. I'm going there."

"I met the chief when I came back, and he didn't tell me."

"You are also going to hold a funeral here." Byrne sighed. "The chief has changed a lot now, but I can understand that he wants to do more things in the last period of time. You should be prepared."

"be prepared?"

"Cooperate."

Karen frowned slightly, but still nodded and said, "Okay."

A car came outside, and Leon got off, turned around and wanted to help his grandfather, but was pushed away by Wo Fulun.

Leon could only run into the mourning hall first, and said to Karen: "Captain, you are back."

"Yeah." Karen replied.

Leon looked around, picked up the broom, and began to clean the already clean ground.

Walforon came over.

Karen stood up.

Everyone present, except Leon, all saluted Woflon.

Wolfon picked up the pen, reached out and patted Pique on the head. Pique raised his head nervously, and lifted the list only after Wolfon's gesture.

After signing, Wo Fulun took out two deposits.

He then walked to the mortuary table in person to pay respects to Pavaro and Dincombe respectively.

After finishing these, he turned around and walked over, glanced at Gus standing there, and said, "Let me help you make an application, there are better ones in the Crypt God Sect, let them arrange it over there, but Whether you can succeed or not depends on your luck. Generally speaking, if you like it, you basically don’t like it; if you like it, people basically don’t like it.”

Gus lowered his head, being despised by the two bosses repeatedly, he didn't dare to make a sound.

Karen said, "You should tell me that your family is also holding a funeral today."

"It's okay, anyway, I'm going to leave in a few months, and you'll be fine if you come to my funeral, hehe."

Walforon pointed to his grandson Leon and said, "He knows that your funeral is going to be held today, but he is still busy entertaining guests at home. I scolded him and brought him here. He forgot he is now Who is it?"

"Chief, you don't need to do this, Leon did nothing wrong."

If this is "Tuo Gu", it is a bit too heavy, and it does not conform to the style of the chief bishop.

"No, that's not what I meant, and I also think Leon did nothing wrong; after all, where there is no family funeral that is not busy running to the boss's funeral, this is too attentive, and even arouses disgust from others.

But me, standing in the mourning hall at home, looking at them, I could hear them talking to me, telling me to bring Leon here, his father, his mother, his uncle... especially His grandma just keeps urging me. I really can't argue with them, so I can only do what they ask. "

A smile appeared on Woflon's face, and he continued:

"We living people always feel that we need to give the dead a perfect funeral; but the dead only hope that the living can live better."
