13 Mink Street

Philomena handed the fruit basket to Mrs. Tang Li, and Mrs. Tang Li smiled and said, "Take it and eat with them."

At this time, Karen noticed that at the railing on the third floor, the figure of Mr. Delong appeared, staring at the girl who was visiting below.

Philomena went up to the second floor with a fruit basket.

Richard smiled and said, "Welcome to my house as a guest, hehe."

As if he was not born to his father, Richard can be called the little prince who warms up the scene when it comes to dealing with interpersonal relationships.

But Philomena directly ignored the young master of the master's family, without even looking at Richard, bypassing Richard who was in a wheelchair, and walked in front of Karen.

Richard shrugged, trying to ease his embarrassment.

Philomena said to Karen: "I was going to leave after I came to thank you, because I knew that this family didn't welcome or like me, but Madam said you were here, so I didn't rush to leave."

"You know, sometimes being honest doesn't mean being offensive."

"Grandma also said that I have such problems, but grandma's own problems are bigger than mine."

"Do you want to correct it?"

"I'm not wrong, why should I change?"

"Do you want to die?"

"In no mood."

"I mean, if you continue to maintain this social style, then in the future your teammates, including me as the captain, may come together to create a reasonable opportunity to send you to death."

Philomena pursed her lips and said with a smile, "Are you being frank?"

"This is my advice. If you don't want to die, change it for me. If you can't change it, restrain yourself."

"I will restrain myself."

………

"Why are you still at home?"

The figure of Mr. Delong appeared in the kitchen.

Mrs. Tang Li said while chopping vegetables: "The elders' affairs belong to the elders, and it has nothing to do with the younger generations."

"I'm just worried."

"Who are you worried about? Richard? At your grandson's level, you don't even have to worry about others deliberately harming him."

"Not worried about Richard..."

"Is that worried about Karen? Karen is doing things, and you still need to worry about it?"

"I'm not worried about Karen..."

"I know that the Fisher family once left a shadow in your heart, but isn't the disposal of this family already over?"

"I didn't expect you to see it so openly."

"It's not that I can see clearly, but I believe that the eyes staring at that cursed family are not only you and me, but Fisher himself knows it well."

"I see."

"Okay, you can leave my kitchen now." Mrs. Tang Li leaned forward and looked out through the window, "Your son-in-law is here, you'd better wait until Lucy comes back from duty." After showing your majesty, end the matter at the same time, otherwise the daughter will cry to me first, and then to you."

"Who told her to choose this mediocre man, she deserves it."

Mrs. Tang Li nodded, and said: "Yes, who told me to choose a mediocre man myself, and I deserve it?"

Deron: "..."

...

In the study, Richard took out an apple from the fruit basket, wiped it with his cuff, and gnawed it.

The label of the fruit basket was not torn off. It belonged to the fruit shop in front of Guman's house. Richard recognized it at a glance.

"So, we will be teammates in the future?" Richard looked at Philomena and asked.

Philomena shook her head and said, "No."

Then, Philomena pointed to Karen and said, "He is my captain."

"Haha." Not only was Richard not angry, but he laughed instead.

"What are you laughing at?" asked Philomena.

"Actually, it doesn't matter. It's good for you to keep like this. Even if you have a bad relationship with other people, as long as you identify him wholeheartedly, you can survive well in the team."

"Really?" Philomena was very puzzled.

"Really, I know, in your eyes, except for him, are we all trash?"

"Yes."

"Cough...it's okay, just follow Karen, don't be awkward with the captain, just obey the captain in everything, you think, which is easier, to have a good relationship with everyone or just one person?"

"He's not trash."

"Okay, I know, of course I know, did you listen to what I said?"

"Listen."

"That's good."

Karen came back from the bathroom, holding three washed peaches in her hand, saw Richard eating an apple, and asked, "Have you washed it yet?"

"I'm not afraid, I have worms in my stomach, and I won't get sick after eating them."

Karen hands Philomena a peach.

"I don't like to eat fruit." Philomena spoke habitually, but took the initiative with her hand and took a big bite.

"Actually, I really want to hear about your family, is it convenient?" Karen sat down beside Richard's bed and asked.

"I don't like talking about it with people."

"Okay, then don't force it..."

"What I heard from outsiders is that my grandma killed my whole family, my grandpa, and my uncles; and my father has now been domesticated by my grandma into a dog who only knows how to lie on the ground and lick the soles of shoes."

Hearing this, Richard stopped eating fruit.

"Grandma said that I resemble her, and she will give me all the memories she has experienced. When I was very young, in my dreams, it was always a crazy grandma."

"Now?" Richard asked subconsciously, "Oh, sorry."

"Now, in my dream, grandma has been domesticated into a dog by me, ha ha." Philomena smiled, "However, I'm cooperating with you, because I always feel that this place is a dream. And my dream is reality."

"It's an avoidant personality," Karen said. "You're afraid of reality, so you reverse dream and reality."

"It should be, I just choose the happy side."

"So, in your eyes, now me, Richard, and everyone here are just characters in your dreams, and you will instinctively ignore it. We are like a carousel in an amusement park. It seems It’s very glamorous, but in your field of vision, they are actually dolls.”

"um, yes."

Richard moved closer to Karen and asked, "Isn't this just like my dad, who has a mental problem? Fortunately, there is only one mental problem in our team."

Philomena looked at Karen and said, "Captain, is there anything else you want to ask?"

"No, thank you for your frankness. By the way, you have to leave me a contact information. Our team will formally assemble in two days."

Richard added: "Squad founding meeting, dinner, group photo."

Philomena frowned and nodded, "Okay."

After speaking, she took out a piece of black paper from her pocket, folded it into a crow, and handed it to Karen.

"Don't have a phone number?"

"I don't have one at home, and it's not convenient to install it for the time being."

"Okay, I know."

"Then can I go?"

"Save it for dinner."

Philomena raised her head, looked at Karen, blinked, and said, "Okay."

"You can rest first, next door is Richard's bedroom."

"Um."

Philomena came out of the study.

"She's really under pressure from me." Richard stretched out his hand, released a silk thread, stuck to a magazine and pulled it over, "What are your plans for tomorrow, Karen?"

"I'm going to see my fiancée."

"Why is it that you have been going to see her all the time, so why can't she come to see you? Your fiancee has been bedridden all the time? Oh, sorry, that's not what I meant."

"Almost, but she still has more than a month to recover."

"Oh, that's great, I'm looking forward to seeing her, a woman who can hold the heart of my good brother Karen."

"I am engaged to her."

"Oh, believe me, if she was ugly you would definitely be here chanting human rights supremacy and freedom of marriage."

"What book have you been reading recently?"

"Look at everything and study hard. I think I have made great progress recently, especially my physical recovery ability."

"Thanks for your hard work."

"It's okay, I feel that I have become a little detached, fearless of suffering, I can even hold back the screams, can you believe it."

"Go ahead. If you don't, your father will beat you harder."

"Well... no wonder he hit me for so long last time, it turned out to be like this."

It's dinner time.

Karen walked up behind Richard, pushed up the wheelchair, and asked, "When the team gathers in two days, will you be able to walk?"

"If my dad doesn't go crazy for two days, I can take the skateboard to participate."

Walking to the door of Richard's bedroom, Karen knocked on the door, and Philomena sat up from the bed.

Karen reminded: "When you eat later, don't talk, eat quietly."

Philomena nodded and said, "Okay."

The dinner was sumptuous. Mrs. Tang Li was inspired by new dishes from Karen, and the improved dishes were exquisite and delicious.

Especially the stewed soup. At the strong request of Mrs. Tang Li, Karen drank three bowls. Before he left the table, he felt a warm breath flowing from his lower abdomen.

After eating dessert, Karen got up to say goodbye.

"I didn't drive here, so I won't take you back."

"good."

Philomena turned and left by herself.

After waiting for a while, Karen hailed a taxi and arrived at the gate of the Lemar Pottery Museum.

Since the past few days are used to sweep favors, don't leave anything behind.

I opened the door and walked in, and found that it was very lively inside. The original work table was full of dishes, and there were two middle-aged couples sitting there, and Lemar and Selina brother and sister were also sitting inside.

"Karen!" Serena got up immediately and introduced to everyone, "Father, aunt, mother, uncle, this is a good friend of my brother and me, Mr. Karen."

Afterwards, there was a burst of extremely enthusiastic greetings. Serena's parents even specifically asked Karen if she was married, but Karen could only respond with the same enthusiasm.

During this period, he couldn't help but look at Serena's parents a few more times. They really didn't seem to know that they were puppets.

Karen also took a few extra glances at the partners Serena's parents were looking for after their divorce. They also really didn't know that their significant other was not a living person.

After sitting for a while, Karen said goodbye and left, Serena took the initiative to send Karen out.

"I'm sorry, brother Karen, the parents are here today."

"It's okay. It's good to see a family so happy. You have time to come to the funeral club to play. I just came back."

"Okay, Brother Karen, I will, hehe."

...

Take a taxi again, the destination is the Funeral Society.

"Sir, are you going home?" the taxi driver asked curiously.

"Well, yes, that's my funeral home."

"Oh, yes, I said, I went to the funeral home so late, oh no, I'm sorry, sir, I have no other meaning."

"It's okay, normal people will do this."

"Do you make money in this line of business?"

"Fortunately, I won't die of hunger."

"It must be very profitable, because only those who really make money will say 'you can't die of hunger'."

"hehe."

After chatting casually with the driver for a while, Karen closed his eyes and prepared to squint for a while.

Gradually, Karen sensed light spots appearing in his field of vision. He opened his eyes and looked out of the car window. On both sides of the road ahead, a group of people wearing white top hats and masks were marching with torches.

"Ha, I met them again." The driver had to slow down, but there was no complaint on his face.

"Have their activities become more frequent recently?" Karen asked.

"Yes, sir. I used to meet them once a month, but now I can meet them two or three times a week. They have recently changed a new group of leaders, and they have also changed the name of the group. Now it is called: Holy Fire Believers!"

"You know them well?"

"Of course, my son is one of them."

At this time, several people wearing high hats and masks approached the taxi with torches and began to beat on the windows.

The driver immediately rolled down the window.

They brought the torches closer, and Karen found them looking at their hair, and when they saw their fair hair, they let out a "giggle" laugh, and shouted:

"Purple pigs go to hell!"

The driver leaned out of the car window while honking the horn and shouted: "Purple pigs go to hell!"

In their eyes, Karen saw fanaticism, madness, and self-righteous divinity.

After the taxi finally drove out of the crowd, the driver took out a water glass to drink water and said to Karen in a hoarse voice:

"Sir, those purple pigs really deserve to go to hell. I heard that many people die in the sea every year when they smuggle here, so they can still come in so many people every year!

Moreover, those of them who are stranded in Wayne can live better than pigs one by one!

I swear, I never saw so many purple haired things on the street when I was a kid.

They took our jobs, our houses, our food, our air, they are pigs who deserve to be thrown into the slaughterhouse!

What do you think, sir? "

"What I know is that the hometown of many of them has been turned into a colony by the Wayne Empire."

"That's what it should be, they are so ignorant and barbaric, our empire brought civilization to them!"

"Then what's wrong with them coming to Wayne now to directly experience civilization up close?"

"No, that's not right. They are inferior people. They shouldn't set foot in such a clean land as Wayne. They will pollute this place!"

"In addition to illegal immigrants, many of them obtained Wayne nationality through formal channels and legal procedures."

"It's all pigs, the same pigs, it disgusts me to see them, the ones that come in legally make me even more disgusted, because they want more, but do they deserve it, they should stay in the pigs with their fellow pigs Eat shit in the circle!"

Karen didn't bother to reply.

However, after driving another block, there were fire lights again. In the middle of the road, there were three fire piles, and a large group of holy fire believers were dancing and singing around these three fire piles.

"Sir, we have to take a detour," said the driver.

"OK."

After a detour, the closer you get to the Lanqiao community, the more holy fire followers there are on the street, and the air gradually becomes hot and uneasy.

After entering the Blue Bridge community, Karen found that more and more holy fire believers were gathering here.

There are many factories near the Lanqiao community, and many migrant workers live here. Here, the shantytowns are almost its special scenery. Therefore, there are more purple-haired illegal immigrants here, because they can find jobs in Vienna. There are not many places, most of them are sweatshops.

At the beginning, Judge Qi Heshu recruited young illegal immigrant girls into his sacrificial site through the textile factory run by Little John's father.

"Why do I feel that something big is going to happen tonight." The driver's voice was a little trembling, not nervous, but excited.

Finally, the driver parked the car in front of the funeral club.

"A total of twenty-eight reals, sir."

Karen handed over 30 reals.

"Thank you, sir."

"give change."

"Forehead……"

Holding the two coins the driver was looking for, Karen got out of the car.

On the side of the road, there is also a group of holy fire believers holding torches and marching.

Karen walked into the funeral home, and Pick's snoring was very loud at the door.

When I walked to the backyard, I saw Alfred coming out of the kitchen with a cup of coffee.

"Master, you are back, do you need me to prepare supper for you?"

"Ask Xili to prepare a bowl of noodles for me."

"Master, Xili went home today to visit her parents and younger brother, and she said she would not come back tonight."

"She went back?"

"Yes."

"Where does she live?"

"It's not very far. Next door to our community is the gray building in the Baiyang community. Xili helped her family and relatives who defected to rent three rooms there. It is a settlement of legal immigrants, all of whom have jobs. Will live there, the environment there is much better than the slums, but it's not very clean."

"Go and bring her back, just say that the young master wants supper and no one will do it. This is the maid's dereliction of duty."

"Yes, master."

Alfred put down his coffee cup, picked up the car keys and went out.

Karen walked into his study room. For some reason, he has been feeling a little annoyed since he came back by car.

"Mr. Cullen, do you need to prepare supper?" Mrs. Lake's voice came from outside the door.

"No, thank you ma'am."

"Then let me pour you a glass of ice water?"

"Yes, ma'am."

"Dingling, dingling..."

The phone on the desk rang at this moment, and Karen picked it up.

"Hello, Karen."

"Captain, haven't you rested yet?"

"Call the squadron leader, Geng Di changed his mouth a long time ago today, you kid just changed it back because I didn't send you back, didn't you!"

"No, it's because I forget to change my habit sometimes, sir, what's the matter?"

"The higher-ups have just issued an urgent notice, requiring that it be conveyed layer by layer. I will convey it to you now."

"Okay, what notice?"

"All priests of order tonight must not interfere with the normal operation of society."
