13 Mink Street

The collapse of the Academic Affairs Building was not completed in an instant. After a roar, the whole building began to fall apart. It was the kind of sharp and angular division that could be clearly seen, like a vertical cuboid cake that was cut with a knife. Lots of pieces, right now, are sliding in many directions.

At this moment, extremely thick black chains appeared on the ground around the Academic Affairs Building. They rose up and bound and lifted up the divided and collapsed Academic Affairs Building.

In this way, although the building has collapsed, it has not completely collapsed in an extremely strange architectural presentation.

The chains that suddenly appeared should be the formation that originally protected the building.

But there is a specific problem with the operation of this formation or the design of this formation itself, that is, it is mainly to defend against external intrusion, not internal.

Therefore, the chains holding each part of the building are not simply holding them still. The strength of the chain itself is gradually tightening the area it wraps at a speed visible to the naked eye, and gradually deepening. It may not take long before the chain itself It can shred the part of the building that it binds.

It's just that in this way, the personnel in the academic building can be transferred.

Karen ran under the Academic Affairs Building and found that the foundation of the building had been sunken, and the hall on the first floor, which had to be stepped over high steps, had now become an open basement. From here, people kept coming. After running out and climbing up from the pothole, Karen squatted beside him and began to stretch out his hand to pull people.

During this process, people fell down from time to time in the building parts wrapped by chains above, and from time to time, the sound of "cement bags" hitting the ground could be heard, which was very similar to beating mosquitoes in summer.

While pulling the people below up, Karen looked up from time to time, trying to figure out how long the chain would last.

Even if the priests of the God of Order kept coming to help from the outside, there were energy fluctuations of spells in the building, and it was the people inside who were saving themselves, but there were a large number of ordinary workers in this building, and even those gods Servant God Qi, falling from such a high position, is no different from ordinary people.

At this moment, Karen found that several priests wearing blue robes appeared not far behind him, and the robes on their bodies were printed with patterns of formation runes.

The leader holds a black stone in his hand, and the person behind him begins to chant, gathering spiritual power into his body.

Immediately, the leader raised the stone in his hand and began to move down slowly.

"Buzz!"

The two huge black chains in front of Karen's head began to lift the part of the building slowly downward.

Immediately afterwards, Karen saw several groups of people wearing blue robes not far away. The leader was holding a black stone in his hand. down.

Is it the priest in the Cult of Order who is responsible for maintaining the formation?

There are many departments within the Cult of Order, and each department is divided into many positions and responsibilities. Even a person in the Cult will have little understanding of departments that do not belong to him.

Gradually, the split buildings began to be placed on the ground piece by piece, encroaching on a large area of ​​surrounding land, and even hitting the adjacent buildings, but obviously no one would care about these at this time.

After all parts of the building were put down, the trapped people began to escape from windows and other places.

Karen stood up and took a few steps back. His attention subconsciously fell on the part of the building in the southwest direction, because there were "shops" and "equipment departments" on that part of the floor, but Karen just looked at it. After a few glances, he looked away, because of the location of the building, he saw the figures of three judges.

Apparently, the security here has been emphasized to prevent anyone from wanting to teach and make money at this time.

Karen began to help treat the wounded, pushing the stretcher cart together with a young man he didn't know, transporting the seriously wounded to the surrounding open space one by one, waiting for the rescuers from the mission hospital to deal with them.

After working for about an hour, the workload did not decrease but increased, because a large number of wounded who could not get out by themselves were found and rescued from the building.

However, the ambulance force from the church hospital had already arrived, and a large number of priests of the Order of God came here from other places in York City. It was difficult not to alert them to such a serious change in the church building.

Some people saw that Karen and his unknown partner were covered in dust, and they offered to take over the stretcher duty.

Karen didn't refuse either, and walked to the outside while shaking his numb hands, found a spacious seat and sat down.

"Hey."

Karen turned his head and found that the stretcher-carrying partner whom he didn't know before had followed him, and took out an opened thermos cup and handed it to Karen.

Karen noticed it when he was "working" before. This guy has a thermos cup hanging around his waist, but he doesn't look very old, and like himself, he doesn't wear a god's robe and wears casual clothes.

Oh damn.

Karen thought of the god robe he had ordered, and wondered if he could still get his order for the god robe after such a thing happened?

It should be... yes, right? After all, I bought it with coupons, and the God Sect will definitely pay attention to my reputation with coupons.

Taking the thermos and putting it to his mouth, Karen smelled a sweet smell and took a sip. It was soda or ice.

At this moment, there is really nothing more comforting than taking a sip of iced soda. Karen took two sips in a row and handed it back to the man.

"Thanks."

"You're welcome." The young man drank all the soda left in the thermos, burped for a long time, turned to look at Karen, and asked, "Friend, do you have any cigarettes?"

Karen nodded, took out an unopened box of cigarettes from his pocket and handed it to him together with the lighter.

The other party opened the cigarette, took out one, and handed another one to Karen, and then came over to help Karen light the cigarette.

Karen didn't bother to explain why he had a cigarette on his body but didn't smoke. He bit the cigarette and asked him to light it for him. Then he lit the cigarette himself, and put the lighter and the cigarette case between the two of them.

"I'm here to receive a subsidy." The young man said, "If it wasn't for the traffic jam, I would probably have been carried out. I almost lost my life because of the one hundred coupons, tsk."

Hearing the "100-point coupon allowance", Karen knew that this was a servant of God.

"My name is Richard. How about you, friend?"

"Karen."

"Then, should I call you my lord?" Richard asked with a smile.

"I also receive an allowance of 100 coupons."

"Hahaha." Richard laughed, "That's good, that's good."

When a servant of God sees a servant of God, there is no barrier of identity.

"Look, over there, the bishops are also here." Richard pointed to the distance.

Karen also saw a few bishops in red clothes appear here, their faces were very ugly.

"Do you think this is an attack by Pamires?" Richard asked Karen.

"Um?"

"Don't you read the newspaper?" Richard asked suspiciously.

Karen understood that this was not an ordinary servant of the gods, because the monthly allowance of an ordinary servant of the gods was not enough to subscribe to the "Order Weekly";

And the other party actually asked another god servant, "Don't you read newspapers?" Obviously, he himself didn't know how much the purchasing power of 100 point coupons was, and he was a little like why he didn't eat minced meat.

If the other party hadn't lied at all, Karen guessed that it was probably a servant of the second generation ancestor who came to receive his first allowance in life.

There are many second generations in the Cult of Kosmos, because they are often spread and influenced in the form of families or families, just like seeing a cockroach at home often means that there must be many cockroaches that have not been found. It is rare for a single individual to believe in religion, and it is basically influenced by elders and relatives.

Strictly speaking, even disregarding Diss' personal factors, Karen himself can be regarded as a second generation. After all, the Inmeles family is a family of judges.

"You think the people taught by Pamires did it?" Karen asked.

"It's possible." Richard pointed to the divided academic building, "there must be an operation center in the building, such as the equipment department and the warehouse, and the construction of the space array will definitely be used. You saw the picture of the building collapsing at the beginning Is it?"

Karen nodded.

"Then have you noticed that the cracks that appeared at the beginning of the collapse are actually around that place." Richard pointed to the part of the building that was guarded by several judges, "So, it should be from that place." There was a problem with the operation of the space array, which caused the building to be dismantled from here."

"The construction and design of the academic building involved the people taught by Pamires?" Karen asked.

"Of course it is impossible. We must have taught our own people to do it. It is impossible to hand it over to outsiders."

"So, why do you say this is an attack by the Pamires?"

A smile appeared on Richard's face, and he said, "You can't hand it over to outsiders, but you can subcontract it."

"this……"

"Do you know what subcontracting means?" Richard asked.

"Know."

Karen was just surprised that even the church's own engineering can be so down-to-earth.

"There are a lot of things like this. Subcontract them to others. First, the people taught by Pamires are good at space. If they do it, the effect will be better and the cost will be cheaper. Second, even You don’t need to give them coupons, and they have to bring their own materials to help you complete the project, but they need to find supplements for them from other places.

Of course, I think there is a high probability that people from the Pamires sect launched the attack, and I don't rule it out... Ahem, let's direct and act on our own. "

"It can't be self-directed and acted," Karen said.

"Huh? Why? Isn't that a good reason?"

"We don't need to find reasons or excuses. The more legitimate reasons and the more appropriate excuses, the less we need."

Richard pursed his lips and said, "The way you speak is very similar to my father."

"What is your father's position?"

"Huh? Is the question so straightforward? Shouldn't you pretend that you didn't hear it, and then deliberately get closer to me?"

"hehe."

"My father is a judge. Here, look there. My father is there."

It turned out that Richard's father was among the judges who protected the parts of the building with the equipment management office floor and the store floor.

"Not only my father, but my mother is also a judge, but she is not in Yorktown now but in Thornpool. My aunt is also a judge, and my uncle is two short, just a judge."

This is... the judge family?

If the family of judges of the Inmeles family was a "village sage", then Richard's family is a powerful family in the church circle.

"So, you are just a servant of God?" Karen asked.

"Hahaha, I have always been a God Servant, but I am too lazy to verify the changes. Don't look at me so young. In fact, I am a God Priest. You should call me Sir!"

Karen felt that all the previous chats of this guy were paving the way for this sentence.

Karen threw the unsmoked cigarette in his hand to the ground, stepped on it with the sole of his shoe, and ignored him.

Seeing that Karen's reaction was cold, Richard was not angry. Instead, he took the initiative to lean towards Karen and said in a low voice, "My friend, oh no, Karen, what is your position as an adult?"

"Why are you asking me this?"

"I want to make you this friend."

"Then I will climb up to you."

"Tch, keep it a secret from me." Richard exhaled a smoke ring, threw the cigarette butt on the ground, took out another cigarette from the middle cigarette case, lit it, and asked Karen at the same time, "You don't smoke, do you bring a cigarette with you?" What are you doing with the lighter?"

"For people like you."

"Puchi, hehehehe, hahahahaha."

Richard laughed.

Karen didn't even know what he was laughing at.

Ahead, Karen saw a Whip of Order team stationed here, and began to maintain order and carry out vigilance. Even though the police station building is in front, there is no policeman coming out nearby. Secular forces cannot interfere and enter here. .

It's just that Karen didn't see his team, and he knew that the blue shell should not have been returned to Fanny last time, but tonight's party must have been cancelled, and since such a big incident happened in the Academic Affairs Building, his team should not return it to Fanny. May not move.

At this moment, Karen sensed a figure appearing behind him. He turned his head and looked back, and saw a woman with a stern face in a dark red robe standing behind him.

The pattern on the woman's robe shows her identity - a judge.

Karen immediately stood up and saluted the woman: "My lord."

"aunt?"

Richard stood up and shouted, throwing his freshly lit cigarette on the ground.

"Are you OK?"

"It's okay, it's okay, aunt, father is there."

"I know." The woman set her eyes on Karen, "Your identity."

"The Servant of the Pavaro Judgment, Karen Silva."

Karen still has a layer of identity as a member of the Whip of Order team, but he still chooses to report as a servant of God, because this identity is equivalent to: kind and harmless.

"Hey, aunt, he's my new friend." As he spoke, Richard moved closer to Karen, looked at his aunt, and said, "When I was carrying the stretcher with me, there was dust on my body. But it still looks good, doesn't it, Aunt, as handsome as Uncle when he was young."

"You can tell your mother to be as handsome as your father when he was young."

"You can't say that. My father is not good-looking. Otherwise, my mother would rather stay in Sangpu City than transfer back. She thinks my father is too ugly."

"I'll tell him about your compliments to your father."

"I'm not afraid, my aunt dotes on me the most."

"It's okay next time, don't run around, it's dangerous. There are a lot of things these days, and it's more dangerous outside."

"I want to come here to receive the allowance and buy some jewelry for you, aunt. Isn't your birthday coming soon, aunt?"

The woman looked into the distance and said, "Go back early, I still have something to do."

After finishing speaking, the woman's figure turned into a black mist and flew towards the direction where Richard's father was.

"Did you drive here?" Richard asked Karen.

"Um."

"That's great, the vicinity must be blocked, I can't get a taxi."

Karen pointed to the distance and said, "You can run farther and you can get a taxi."

"I said, you were so respectful to my aunt just now, why are you so casual with me?"

"Because we are all servants of God."

"I've said it before, I'm a god priest."

"I only authenticate documents."

"Oh, really." Richard put his arms around Karen's shoulders as soon as he came up, "Take me home, I'm so tired, I don't want to walk anymore."

Karen looked at him suspiciously and asked, "We just carried the stretcher together."

"I don't know why, I feel kind to you, oh, please don't worry, I have a girlfriend, so it's not that kind of kindness."

"Where is your home?"

"Bailu Street, it's not very far from here, I invite you to my house for coffee."

Karen didn't agree, and walked to his car, Richard followed him, and after Karen sat in the driver's seat, he also sat in the co-pilot seat naturally.

Richard smiled and said, "Of course, if you want to invite me to your house for coffee, I am also willing."

Karen shook his head helplessly. Normally, it should be others who take the initiative to curry favor with this kind of young man, but this one inexplicably clings to him.

There was no other way, Karen had no choice but to drive to White Hart Street. Richard pointed in the direction of his home. It was a single-family villa, and the car could be driven directly into the exclusive underground garage.

"My friend is here, I'm sure I'm going to sit at home, isn't I?" Richard helped Karen turn off the fire.

Karen hesitated for a moment, but got out of the car and followed Richard from the garage stairs to the large living room above.

"what do you want to drink?"

"Ice water."

"Okay, wait a minute." Richard walked into the kitchen. There seemed to be no maids in such a large villa, but the sculptures in several places in the house gave Karen a special feeling. They should be defensive formations. If Richard came in alone without Richard's leadership, he might encounter attacks from the array.

Karen walked to the center of the living room and saw a large framed family photo above the fireplace.

The photo is old, and there is no Richard in it, but an old man sitting, and a man and two women standing behind him, they should be his children, that man, who looks very similar to Richard, should be Richard's Father, the woman on the far right is the woman who described the judge when she was young.

But, the woman on the far left...

Karen leaned closer and observed carefully, he felt familiar.

Looking at it, a picture suddenly appeared in Karen's mind. It was a "dream" that he had entered when he was robbed of his body by Ranedare. In the dream, there was a man and a woman lying beside him. Because of the protection of these two people, he was not successfully taken away by Ranedar.

And the woman on the far left in the photo looks... exactly the same as the woman lying next to him in his "dream".

"I don't know why, but I feel kind to you."

The words Richard said to himself echoed in Karen's ears. At that time, he still wondered if there was something wrong with the young master's mind.

It was only now that Karen realized that the other party was not out of his mind, and his intimacy did have a real source, but he himself didn't know where it came from.

because,

He was actually his cousin.

And at night.
