13 Mink Street

Lady Lake's workshop;

Karen sat next to her, and Madam Lake was putting makeup on the deceased. Her body was covered with a faint layer of black as a protective cover, which was Karen's blessing of order and purification for her.

"Strange demons, are they all such dangerous existences?" Mrs. Lake asked in a low voice, "My husband rarely talked to me about such things before. I'm sorry, but I'm a little curious."

"You can think of them as people with infectious diseases," Karen replied. "At least, a large part of them are."

"Then Dora and Doreen, are they also considered strange demons?"

"If it wasn't for the fact that their father was a judge, their ending would likely be to be purified, that kind of, very thorough purification process."

"I see."

Mrs. Lake continued to work, and Karen found that her tools might not be as good as Aunt Mary's, but she was not inferior to Aunt Mary in terms of technology.

"How long have you been doing this, ma'am?" Karen asked.

"My maternal grandmother, my mother, both made this."

"Oh, I see."

Karen stood up and began to observe the preliminarily processed female corpse.

The first place to be processed must be the face, because other places can be covered with clothes and accessories, but the face cannot.

The meaning of the mortician is to let the deceased and relatives and friends see each other for the last time. The face here refers to the face.

The two fangs have been pulled out by Mrs. Lake and placed on the tray next to her. At the same time, Mrs. Lake also filled the position where the teeth were pulled out, so that her mouth can be closed naturally.

The skin on the face was stretched again, because the face before death was too ferocious, so it left extremely clear wrinkles, after this treatment, the facial expression can look more dignified.

In addition, ten long black nails were also cut off. When she was lying in the coffin at the funeral, she would fold her hands on her lower abdomen, and the long black nails would look indecent.

"The most difficult part of the work is over." Mrs. Lake smiled, "The next step is to apply makeup and clothes."

"Well, it's really efficient."

"Thank you for the compliment."

Karen reached out and picked up a pulled fang, and put it in front of him for a closer look. With the experience of breaking the ring before, Karen tried to break it with both hands, and it was very hard.

Then, he rubbed the tip of the fang back and forth on the steel bed, making a piercing sound, but when he picked it up again, he found that there was no sign of damage to the tip of the fang.

It must be very uncomfortable to be stabbed in the neck by this thing to suck blood.

Karen put down his fangs and picked up a cut long black nail. The black inside the nail was slightly hot to the touch. Karen knew that this was because there was still relatively strong pollution in the nail. More concisely, it was the nail. Contains toxins.

All indications indicated that this was a relatively mature bloodthirsty strange monster, and its grade would not be too low.

Because in Mr. Hoffen's notes, he recorded what kind of bloodthirsty strange monsters are like. Those guys are more like living corpses with an instinctive obsession with blood.

"The teeth, nails, and things that fell out during processing, find a special box to hold them, well, just put them under her hands, in this posture."

"Okay, I understand what you mean. These things are very important to her, right?"

"Well, but it's more to show that we didn't steal from her. The teeth and nails still have some value."

"Like ivory?" Mrs. Lake joked.

"You can say that."

"Thank you for your hard work, you need to stay up late with me."

"It's not hard, you are taking the risk of making her funeral makeup."

"I'm fine. When I was covered by this layer of black, I actually felt a sense of security and comfort in my heart."

At this time, Mrs. Lake looked up, looked at the radio on the cabinet in the studio, and asked, "Excuse me, can I listen to some songs on the radio, so that I can make up faster."

"Can."

Karen walked over, turned on the radio, and began to tune the frequency band. After a while, lyrical singing flowed out.

Mrs. Lake obviously knew what song it was, and hummed along, and the movements of her hands were indeed much faster.

Karen sat back to his original position. He couldn't leave here now, otherwise the purification protection he gave to Mrs. Lake would be interrupted.

Listening to the song, Karen fell into deep thought as he looked at the corpse of the bloodthirsty strange demon lying on the steel bed in front of him and gradually recovering its "youthful appearance".

When her husband called, he said he had heard that Mr. Pavaro was a good man, so he came to Pavaro for help.

Indeed, from Pavaro's point of view, it's hard not to give her some help, such as a decent funeral, when facing a strange demon who chooses to commit suicide before getting lost in order not to hurt ordinary people.

When he just "woke up" Mr. Pavaro, Pavaro looked at Anne lying on the ground, and what he missed most was her funeral.

In fact, her husband didn't know Pavaro, or even had any contact with him at all, because after answering the phone, he admitted that he was Pavaro, and the other party believed him, and he didn't hear the difference in voice.

Although the timbre is somewhat distorted during telephone communication now, there is still a clear distinction between my own voice and Pavaro's voice. I did not wear a mask at that time, and the timbre did not change.

Recently, who told him that Mr. Pavaro is a very nice and honest man who would take this job?

After a little cheating, the other party took the initiative to answer the call, confirming that it was the leader of the Whip of Order team, Neo, who told him.

Neo knew them, and Neo, faced with his entreaties, also advised him to come to Pavaro, and he came;

He didn't even know that Mr. Pavaro didn't know the "captain" at all.

Because Neo replaced Tiers, who had just died, and was still working on rebuilding this order team. He had no real contact with Pavaro at all. The only time he met him was the cautious clerk next to Mion. Role.

So, the whole thing, sorted out is probably;

The woman chose to commit suicide before she was lost; the woman's husband asked Neo to give his wife a decent funeral, and Neo recommended him to Pavaro Funeral Service.

What is the relationship between Neo and this couple?

Is it just to help recommend, or do you have other purposes?

"Okay, it's done." Mrs. Lake said as she put down her tools.

It was only then that Karen realized that after thinking about it for so long, Mrs. Lake had even changed the corpse into a new set of clean clothes, which was a white dress.

"Well done."

"Thank you for your compliment, I want to take a shower now, is that okay?"

"sure."

"You are also hungry now. After I take a shower, I will prepare a midnight snack for you. No sauce will be added."

"Thanks a lot."

"No hard work, no hard work."

Mrs. Lake walked to the door, and Karen waved her hand, releasing the purification guard on her body.

After she left, Karen continued to sit where she had been.

"Master, master?"

Karen heard Alfred's voice on the radio.

"Master, may I come in now?"

"Can."

"Okay, master, I'm here."

The radio played the previous tune again.

After waiting for a while, Alfred, who was carrying a large bag on his shoulder, came to the backyard and saw Karen sitting in the workshop.

"Were you at the door just now?" Karen asked.

"No, I was driving there when I called you, young master."

"Can it be controlled at such a distance?"

"I just discovered it recently." Alfred said with a smile, "It should be the reason why I listen to it often, so I found that the distance from which I can control the radio has also been extended a lot."

"Is everything done?"

"It's all done. The scroll has been bought back and handed over to Pu'er and Kevin. I spent a total of 2,000 order coupons in the Lemar Pottery Museum. Not only did I make up the previous bag, but I also brought back a big bag. Lemar Mr. said that because of the reminder you gave earlier, young master, he successfully hoarded a batch of blood spirit powder. Now the price of blood spirit powder on the market has risen sharply due to the interruption of supply channels, and he sold it to make a lot of money. Another cheap price."

"Put your things at the opposite door."

"Okay, master." Alfred put the bag in the past and walked back, "Master, I found out the organization wearing white clothes and holding the torch during the day, it is a group of people who hate illegal immigrants, Their slogan is to burn all illegal immigrants who take their jobs and pollute their cities with fire.

There are actually quite a few organizations like this in Wien. "

"Okay, I know."

Only then did Alfred notice the corpse on the steel frame bed, and after taking a closer look, he immediately asked in surprise, "Master, is this a bloodthirsty strange monster?"

"right."

Karen told Alfred everything that happened, including her own analysis.

"So, the young master is worried about whether there will be some conspiracy here?"

"I can't talk about the conspiracy yet. I'm just curious about the relationship between Neo and the bloodthirsty strange demon."

"The funeral?"

"The body has been coffined. It must be done. Now that I have agreed, I will do my best to meet the customer's request. This is what Diess said at the beginning."

"Supper is ready, hey, who is this?" Mrs. Lake asked curiously.

"Ma'am, you should remember me. I was injured by the explosion. It was you and your husband who drove me to the hospital in a hearse."

"It's actually you, are you alright?"

"never mind."

"Alfred, thank you and your husband for helping out at that time. Besides, I am the young master's servant."

"You, you are his servant." Mrs. Lake remembered what Karen said at the beginning, and the person in front of her was his boss, but soon Mrs. Lake realized that she didn't need to ask any more questions, and just nodded with a smile: "So it is So, no wonder, no wonder.”

The supper was simple, vegetable soup with cheese and hamburger, Karen ate two and drank a bowl of soup.

After clearing the plates, Mrs. Lake bid farewell and went back to her room to rest.

Karen and Alfred returned to the workshop;

"Master, actually the easiest way is to use 'Wake Up' to wake her up, and ask her, won't everything be clear?"

"What you are seeing now is the processed corpse. In fact, her death is very grim. I feel that I have entered a lost state. After waking up, there is just an extra bloodthirsty lunatic."

"What the young master said is that she must have waited until the last moment before choosing to commit suicide. Who would want to die before the last step?"

"Okay, let's go home first."

Karen locked the workshop and put the key on himself.

When walking out, I saw Peake snoring wrapped in a quilt in the corner of the shop. According to Karen's instructions, there must be a vigil between him and Dingcomb every night, and tonight is Peake.

"I didn't hide it when I walked in, but he didn't notice it," Alfred said.

"I didn't expect him to do anything, but in this shop where there are only mother and two daughters left, it is already a great sense of security to be able to snore at night."

"Young Master said so."

"After a while, when I have more money in hand, I can renovate the backyard, and it will be troublesome to run back and forth every day."

"Don't worry, young master, I will start planning tomorrow."

"By the way, you will continue to come with me tomorrow to set up the mourning hall."

"Okay, master."

Karen got into the car, and Alfred was about to start the car, but found a blue car passing by. When it passed the gate of the funeral home, it slowed down suddenly, and finally, it leaned against the road. side, stopped.

Alfred stopped turning the car key, and Karen reached out and tapped on the car radio.

soon,

The sound of snowflakes came from the car radio, and then the sound of snowflakes dissipated, and a man's cry came out.

He was really crying, and crying very sadly, while crying, he still called a woman's name:

"Eliza...Eliza...my Eliza..."

Karen touched the ring with his hand, turned into Pavaro's appearance, got out of the car, and walked directly to the blue car in front.

When I walked to the co-pilot position, I saw a man crying with his face buried in the steering wheel;

Karen reached out and knocked on the car window. The man was startled, and immediately turned his head to look over. At the same time, Karen noticed that he put his hand in his arms, which was a gesture of preparing to draw a gun.

Needing to draw a gun...means he's weak.

But Karen hesitated for a while, should he sing a shield in front of himself first?

However, Karen first pointed to the funeral club on the opposite side.

The man seemed to realize who the man in front of him was, immediately took out his pistol and threw it on the passenger seat. Karen opened the door, picked up the pistol, and then sat in the passenger seat.

"You are, Judge Pavaro?" the man asked.

"Um."

"Thank you for your willingness to help with my wife's funeral."

The man actually knelt down to Karen. Although the space in the car was very small, he still completed this action.

"You know Captain Neo?"

"Yes, I know Captain Neo. I knew him before he became the captain, huh? Your voice?"

The man noticed that Pavaro's voice was different from that on the phone.

Karen heard the other party's doubts, but did not intend to explain anything, and said directly:

"I want to know about the relationship between you and Neo."

"After my wife and I fled from our family, we came to Wayne. In the past few years, we lived in Sangpu City. At that time, Neo was the captain of the Whip of Order in Sangpu City."

The level of York City is different, so Neo's transfer from the captain of the Sanpu City Order Squad to York City seems to be a transfer of the same level, but it is actually a promotion.

"At that time, Captain Neo was investigating a case and was injured by a sneak attack. My wife and I rescued him, and we met because of that. Later, with his help, my wife was able to delay the lost time for so long.

Without him, maybe two years ago, my wife would have been lost.

After he was transferred to York City, he brought us with him, and he made it clear to us that we had to come with him, because he also knew that my wife was about to be lost, and he couldn't watch her lost wife go hunting. Kill ordinary people to suck blood. "

"When did your wife die?"

"Neo was here this morning."

morning……

Karen recalled that when he came to find Neo on the office floor, Neo said he had just come back, too.

But in fact, it was right that he came back with Deputy Director Mian earlier than himself, and he also went to apply for the God Servant Certificate earlier, which was delayed for a long time.

"Did your wife commit suicide?" Karen asked.

"It was suicide. She nailed herself to death with silver nails. Neo came to witness, because if Elisa didn't do it, Neo said he would help."

"Then do you hate him?"

"Hate? No hate. Because my wife was ready to commit suicide before getting lost a few years ago. She didn't want to become a bloodthirsty demon. We only have deep gratitude to Neo, because with him, Yi and I Lisa can spend two more years together, two beautiful and happy years, really.

In addition, I begged Neo to help arrange a funeral for Elisa. It is impossible for ordinary funeral houses to accept Elisa's appearance, but it is even more impossible for a funeral house run by a judge in York City. Lisa's body fell into their hands, presumably only to be turned in.

Under my begging, Neo said let me come to you from the Pavaro Funeral Service in Blue Bridge Community. Neo said that you are an upright and kind person, and only you can help us hold the funeral. "

"Are you also a strange demon?" Karen asked, he couldn't feel the breath of the strange demon in this man.

The man wiped his tears and said:

"My lord, my name is Cohen, and I am a human being."

"Humanity?"

"I am a servant in the Avanas Manor, and my family has served the great Avanas family for generations."

Karen knew that the Avanas family was a famous family of bloodthirsty strange demons.

"And you and your wife?"

"Eliza is a lady, and my love with her is not allowed in the manor, so we eloped."

Oh, what a corny love story.

"Did Neo know what I promised you?"

"He didn't know, because before he left in the morning, he told me that he has nothing to do with me, and he will never contact me again."

…

Alfred watched "Mr. Pavaro" get off the blue car in front, and the blue car started to leave. Immediately afterwards, "Mr. Pavaro" opened the door, got in, and turned back into the young master. .

The young master still held an envelope in his hand, and handed it directly to himself.

Alfred took the envelope, opened it, counted it, and said:

"Master, it's 2,000 abyss coupons. According to the black market exchange ratio, it's almost 1,600 order coupons."

"Well, it's higher than the sum of my judge's allowance, God's servant allowance, and the Whip of Order eyeliner allowance that I don't know if I can get it.

So I think there is still a lot of room for development in this business. In the future, it can even specialize in funerals for non-ordinary people;

For funeral expenses, no secular currency is accepted, only coupons. "

"Young Master said so."

"Okay, let's go home."

…

After returning to the community and entering the house, Pu'er rode Kevin downstairs and said excitedly: "Karen, I have good news for you. In three days, our scroll will be finished!"

"Shh." Karen made a "shh" gesture to them, picked up the microphone, "I'll report myself first."

Alfred squatted down, grasping the phone line with both hands, his eyes were red, so that the outgoing calls could not be checked through the telephone exchange.

Karen dialed the number according to the contact information on the piece of paper in the gray paper bag.

There is a fixed contact method on that piece of paper, which is similar to posting a letter; there is also an emergency contact method, but it is marked not to be used for non-essential things.

"Hi." A woman's voice.

"I'm Karen, I'm looking for the captain now, I have something to report."

"Hold on."

Not long after, Neo's voice came:

"Hello."

"Captain, our funeral service received the body of a bloodthirsty strange demon today. Instead of handing it over, Judge Pavaro is planning to hold a funeral for her."

There was a sigh of relief on the other end of the phone, very slight, but Karen caught it, like a kind of... relief.

"Okay, I know."

"Captain, what should I do, please instruct!"

"You just... help him well and organize the funeral well."
