13 Mink Street

Karen was very curious, how did this rumor spread?

But soon, Karen realized that this rumor was probably spread by the captain himself. He may be trying to increase the popularity of his team so that he can gain a greater advantage in the competition for high-quality and high-reward missions in the future.

The captain can really do this kind of thing. Sometimes he is very indifferent, like an elegant pianist only immersed in his own world; the story of the duckling;

Sometimes he has a big appetite, and when performing tasks, he will do whatever it takes to maximize his profits, but while gaining huge profits, he is ashamed to give away box after box of worthless plastic rings.

Karen used to think that the captain seemed to have schizophrenia, and the portrait found in the basement of the pottery museum was the best proof of the captain's illness.

However, the publicity really worked, and my cousin wanted to join Neo's team wholeheartedly.

Although the team has only one captain and 12 members, there are no restrictions on non-staff members.

Moreover, if someone with a family background like Richard is recruited into the team, even if it is just to give him a name, the overall development of the team will naturally have more advantages in the future and can receive care in many aspects.

Not every team hates the gilded young master, the main thing is to see if there is enough interest exchange.

Here, Richard's persuasion to his grandfather continues:

"Grandpa, think about it, if you had agreed to let me join that team earlier, maybe the princess of Dark Moon Island would be pregnant with your great-grandson!"

Karen was speechless for a while.

But in silence, he suddenly felt some truth.

Although Ophelia was not pregnant, but if it was true according to the rumors that Ophelia was pregnant, it would really be the great-grandson of the old man sitting in front of her.

"You are really talking nonsense." Deron was a little helpless by his grandson. He looked at Karen and reminded, "I'm not afraid of your friend's jokes."

"If you don't believe me, ask him, Hey, Karen, if you were given a chance, would you like to join Neo's Whip of Order team?"

Karen smiled cautiously, and said in a low voice, "If I have the opportunity to join the Whip of Order team, I'm already very satisfied, and I don't dare to pick and choose."

"Look at what your friend said, you, you are just a little..."

Deron originally wanted to hit Richard with Karen's words, admonishing him to be blessed but not blessed, but for some reason, after speaking halfway, seeing Karen sitting there with a slightly embarrassed expression, an inexplicable feeling emerged in his heart. Out of a feeling of distress.

Richard stared at Karen with wide eyes. He knew that this new friend was pretending. When he treated him earlier, he was obviously very casual.

"Grandpa, help me, please, grandpa; think about it, your grandson will be called a little hound in the future, how honorable you are on your face."

"My grandson is called a puppy, so am I an old dog?"

"No, grandpa, it's an adjective, an adjective!" Richard grabbed Deron's shoulder, "Grandpa, I want to grow up, and I want to be that kind of responsible man."

Karen picked up her teacup and took a sip of water.

Looking at this scene, he thought of his grandfather, and Diss would always satisfy all his requests.

Deron was sullen and didn't speak.

Richard continued to plead.

Karen paid attention to Deron's expression, and he was a little puzzled: Could it be that this matter has already been completed?

Just then, the doorbell rang.

Karen stood up and motioned for him to open the door. Richard smiled gratefully at Karen, and seized the time to continue to attack his grandfather.

Walking to the entrance and opening the door, Karen saw the person standing outside—Neo.

Neo was also a little surprised to see Karen here, and joked: "Are you the grandson of the Guman family?"

"Richard and I are friends." Karen replied, but did not specifically say that they just met today.

"What a coincidence."

"Yes, what a coincidence."

Neo did not enter the door in a hurry, but pulled out a piece of black paper, which he did not see folded, as if the paper folded itself into the shape of a crow, and then flew out of Neo's palm.

Karen felt that he needed to learn this technique himself.

"Fanny is checking the team list. You are the only one missing. I will report to Fanny, lest everyone think you were crushed to death in the Academic Affairs Building."

While explaining, Neo took out a small box from his pocket, took out one of the neatly packed plastic rings in the small box, and put it on his finger.

"It's really close, Captain, your mask fell into the cemetery. I was going to the Academic Affairs Building to put the mask in your office. As soon as I stopped the car, the building collapsed."

The mask that Neo dropped was the black mask of the Whip of Order team, not the mask from the Pottery Museum.

"That mask is useless, I asked Fanny to order a new batch of masks, not black, but silver, three per person, made of special materials, you can go to Fanny to get it, or execute it next time During the mission, Fanny brought it to you. The reason for the change is because we found that the other teams in York City are all black, and we want to be different from those ducklings."

Neo said, pointing to his face:

"Next time, you don't have to make a special trip for such a trivial matter. How valuable is a mask like this?"

"Yes, I understand, captain, but, about the academic affairs building, captain, do you know the reason?"

"I didn't participate, but I heard something. It should be that I wanted to use the opportunity of the meeting to catch an apostate, or called a traitor, but no matter how well the arrangement was, there was a mistake in the end, which made him lure The internal space array of the Academic Affairs Building caused chaos;

Well, it is the colleague of the old man inside, in a department, he is the deputy director, and the apostate is the director. "

"The traitor..."

Neo moved his face closer to Karen's side, and said in a low voice, "The more religious the place is, the easier it is for traitors with strong beliefs to appear."

Karen looked at Neo and turned sideways silently.

Neo walked in, and Karen followed him back into the living room.

"Hello, my lord."

Deron pointed to Neo and said, "Okay, don't bother me anymore, your captain, he's here."

"Captain?" Richard turned to look at Neo who was standing in the living room, "You... are you Captain Neo?"

"it's me."

Richard clenched and loosened his hands repeatedly, looking tense.

Delong said: "My grandson, I will leave it to you, please take care."

"This is my honor and my team's honor, but because my team is still full, there is no way to give him a staff, so he can only be a non-staff member now, but he will carry out missions with us."

"That's no problem." Delong didn't care about the establishment. How could the Guman family care about the establishment.

"Please rest assured that there have been several missions where no one has died. I think it will be soon, and there should be free staff."

Delong's face was a little stiff, but when he looked at his grandson, he found that the expression on his grandson's face became even more excited.

Neo turned to look at Richard, took a ring off his finger, and handed it to Richard.

Richard took the ring with both hands excitedly.

Karen standing next to him only felt that this scene seemed familiar, and hoped that Richard would cherish this ring and not try to break it too hard.

"A new academic building should be opened soon, and then you can go and deal with the files."

"Okay, Captain, I understand. I will go to the Academic Affairs Building when it reopens."

"okay."

Neo looked at Delong and said, "My lord, I'll go first."

"You can chat with my grandson for a while, he admires you very much." Deron said.

"I still have something to do." Neo refused bluntly.

Deron nodded: "Then go get busy."

Neo said goodbye and left, but Karen remained in the living room.

Richard carefully held the ring, came to Karen, and asked: "Karen, do you think Captain Neo's style is very admirable just now? Grandpa asked him to stay, and he directly said that there is still something to do, so excited." , I can follow such a captain.”

"Congratulations." Karen smiled.

I guarantee that you will be more excited when the captain tells you the story of the duckling.

Deron stood up;

"Grandpa, are you leaving?"

"I've finished the work, what to do if you don't leave, I don't worry if your grandma is alone at home."

"I'm going to see grandma tomorrow."

"Busy your business well. If you have a mission, listen to your captain when performing the mission. There is no room for a little white rabbit in a team composed of hunting dogs."

"Grandpa, your grandson is not a little white rabbit, just wait and see."

Deron's eyes fell on Karen again. This young man, who was about the same age as his grandson, was wearing a black robe. Even if he just stood there, he gave people a very comfortable feeling.

"Karen, isn't it?"

"Yes, my lord."

"Richard has a lot of friends, but if I remember correctly, this is the first time he brought a friend home, even if it was a girlfriend, he never brought home a friend before.

Since you are speculating, let's be good friends. If there is anything in the future, you can ask Richard to come to me. "

"Thank you, my lord."

Karen knew that this was just a scene.

"Grandpa, I'll see you off." Richard sent Delong out, and the grandson seemed extremely attentive.

After Richard came back, Karen said to him, "It's getting late, and it's time for me to leave."

"Don't worry, just sit down for a while, come on, I'll take you to my father's study."

"It's not necessary, is it?"

"That's what makes it official."

Richard took Karen's arm and forced Karen to go upstairs. Previously, Karen only took a shower in the bathroom on the second floor and did not enter the room. Richard opened a study on the second floor and invited Karen to come in.

"Just a little bit, this study room used to belong to my grandfather. In order to take care of my grandma's health, my grandfather moved to a place with a hot spring on the outskirts of York to recuperate. This study room is nominally my father's, but my father rarely comes home. , and don’t use this study very much.”

Karen scanned the books on the shelf.

"If you have a book you like, just take it away." Richard said generously.

"Need not."

"Do you like playing chess?"

"dislike."

"What about playing cards?"

"dislike."

"What about drinking? There's a wine cellar in the basement."

"dislike."

"You don't have any hobbies, how can you fit in with others? People, you can't be too lofty." Richard leaned against the bookshelf and looked at Karen, "How can you get along with others if you are so lofty? My new team."

Karen smiled, getting along with them, you don't need to know how to play chess, cards and drink, as long as you are perverted.

"Don't worry, when I'm done, I'll help you join the Whip of Order team. You work in the Tribunal, aren't you from the Funeral Society?"

"Yes, do you want to experience it?"

"Oh." Richard didn't take it seriously, "I will go to the funeral of the person I personally killed. I'm ready. After I join the team, I will arrange for the first target I personally kill. A grand funeral, but he was not buried in the funeral, do you know what it is?"

"What is buried is your immature past."

"Oh, my God, I am so relieved by how you answered those words. I suddenly realized that my previous understanding of you was wrong. There is no need to be enthusiastic like me. If you are too enthusiastic, others will not Cherish, like you, always keep aloof and decent, if you say this once in a while, the effect will be very good."

Karen was too lazy to talk to him, but instead focused on another group photo hanging in the study. In this group photo were three young people, namely "my" mother and her brother and sister .

"You seem to have always been interested in my family portrait."

"Well, it's a wonderful feeling to see the two judges when they were young."

"What's so special about being a judge? It may be considered unattainable in the eyes of outsiders, but in my own circle, it's just like that."

"Because I have it, I don't cherish it."

"Maybe. In fact, I have always been curious about my aunt. Although my grandfather and father said she was dead, I don't think she is dead. She may have run away from home; although the dead bodies of people in the church It will be confiscated, but usually a tombstone will be set up, but I have never seen her family worship her."

In this, there should be a story involved. The mother of "myself" left home, disappeared, and then appeared at the house of Inmeles, married "myself" father, and gave birth to "myself".

But it should be different from Pu'er. Looking at her photos so generously placed in so many places in the house, it shouldn't be a break with the family.

Pu'er is treated by the ancestors because it came back after more than a hundred years. If it returns after leaving home for a few years, the treatment will be completely different.

Richard made another pot of tea, and forced Karen to drink it in the study as if discussing some important matter.

In the end, seeing that it was indeed too late, Karen left again, and Richard did not keep him, and sent Karen to the garage.

"I'm sorry to have kept you talking for so long," Richard said.

"It's okay, I really like chatting with you." Karen got into the car, "Then, see you next time."

"Next time you see me, I should wear a black mask on my face. I hope you won't be frightened by my cold temperament."

Changed, changed to a silver mask.

Karen smiled at him, started the car and backed out of the garage.

Richard turned and patted his forehead with his hand while going upstairs:

"What the hell is this bloody intimacy?"

...

On the way back to the car, Karen hesitated for a moment, and turned to Indus Street again. There were policemen blocking the road outside, and he could drive out, but he couldn't drive in again.

Karen didn't bother to use his ID to go in and take a look, so he turned a corner and drove towards the blue bridge community.

When I got home, it was early morning again.

Karen felt a little helpless. He came back so late every day and turned his routine upside down.

As soon as the car was parked, Karen saw Alfred coming out.

"Master, you are back."

"Why are you still waiting?" Karen wondered. He told Alfred that he would come back very late. Although the purpose of saying this was different, the result was the same.

It's a pity, Mr. Gray and Mr. Wende, I originally planned to communicate with them again to confirm my current strength, so I can only make an appointment again.

"Master, according to your instructions, I found the part of Mr. Huofen's notes about helping Kevin unlock the seal. Please have a look, Master."

Alfred delivered a black notebook with a bookmark on it.

"Can't you watch it tomorrow?" Karen asked.

"The subordinates still suggest that the young master read it now."

"Okay, let's go to the study."

Karen took the notebook and walked into the study, Alfred helped turn on the light.

At this time, Kevin also got into the study, sitting in front of Karen's desk, showing a simple and honest smile with his mouth open and his tongue sticking out. It's this bald dog head, which is a bit funny.

"Where's Pu'er?" Karen sat down and asked, "Sleeping?"

Usually when I come back at night, Pu'er riding on Kevin appears to greet me.

"After regaining some strength, it was too excited. In the afternoon, it happily burned the boiler with fireballs, but ended up overdrawing itself and fell asleep."

"Hehe." Karen smiled and shook his head, this scene was very similar to when he was just learning spells, "Oh, by the way, Alfred, help me find [Journey of Black Mist] and [Paper Crow] 】I will take some time to learn these two spells when I wake up tomorrow, I hope they won't be too difficult."

"Master, you are joking."

Karen opened the notebook and turned directly to the bookmark. From this part, Mr. Hoffin introduced in detail the principle of the method he used to seal the evil god.

After watching for a while, Karen decided to skip and look at the problem-solving steps first.

After flipping through more than forty pages in a row, I almost reached the bottom, and finally saw the title "Detailed Explanation of Unlocking Layered Seals".

Mr. Huofen spent more than 40 pages introducing the seal densely, both front and back, which shows how happy and important Mr. Huofen is for his successful seal of the evil god.

It is equivalent to a reference book, and 95% of the content is the author's original intention and mental journey of writing this reference book.

"Detailed Explanation of Unlocking the Seal Layers".

This side introduces the materials and accessories that need to be prepared in advance.

The last line at the bottom is:

"first step:"

Well, after the two colons, it is segmented.

Karen turned the page and found that the first line on the back began with "Step 2: Use your own understanding of the formation to perform a complete operation according to the formation diagram..."

Um? What about the first step?

Karen turned it back, and then turned it back again, and then, he suddenly found that there were two pieces of paper glued together.

Glancing up at Alfred, it was obvious that he already knew.

There was a knife on the desk, which was standard equipment for the desk, and it was often used when opening letters. Karen picked up the knife and carefully separated the two glued papers.

After cutting,

Karen saw the complete content of the first step.

Then, Karen looked up at Kevin who was squatting in front of him. Kevin's dog eyes were narrowed, exuding the cuteness and warmth of the golden retriever to the fullest, like a well-behaved baby waiting to reward his little one. Jerky.

It watched Pu'er play all day today, of course it was very envious.

Karen lowered his head again and took a complete look at the content of the first step;

Yes, the first step is very short, as short as two sentences, but for these two sentences, Mr. Hoffin used two sides of the paper.

On the left side of the paper read:

"Do you really want to unseal it???"

On the right side of the paper read:

"Crazy!!!"
