13 Mink Street

A ball of quilt was placed behind him, and Neo sat leaning against the quilt, with many documents spread out in front of him.

Seeing Karen coming back, he raised his head and asked with a smile:

"The breeding was successful?"

"Are you like this when you get along with Miss Eliza?"

Neo rolled his eyes at Karen and said:

"I don't believe you are so serious and decent when getting along with your fiancée."

"Good partner. What is the background of the old man in the hospital bed next door?"

"He, he is just a jar of Venn sauce."

This is a local motto in Wien. According to the eating habits of the Wien people, all dishes can be mixed with doenjang, so describing a person as "wien doenjang" means that he is a bastard.

"Is that so?"

"Yes, but some sauces can only be mixed with rough flour cakes, while some sauces can be placed on the queen's table. He is a good man, a good teacher, a good wife, and his children are also good.

How should I put it, with this level, he is also a powerful person, just like Richard. "

"His students..."

"That girl does have great potential... No, it can't be called very potential. She is already very good now. The Newlon family is a very prestigious family in the Principle of God, but her father married someone he shouldn't have married. The woman gave birth to her, causing her and her father to be expelled from the family early."

"A woman you shouldn't marry?"

“Her father married his stepmother while her grandfather was still alive.

Haha, so let alone the old scholars of the Principle of God, even ordinary society has a hard time accepting this kind of behavior. "

"Um."

"Anyway, it's not bad, isn't it? Oh, I'm talking about that little girl."

"Yes."

"It's just that she's not very good-looking, but that doesn't matter. It's actually quite appropriate for your opposite-sex partner to be less good-looking, so that your fiancée can rest assured."

"Captain, I still have something to discuss with you."

"Well, tell me."

Karen recounted the key points of the previous exchange.

"Okay, I understand, I will help you arrange it. Don't worry about gangsters and gangsters. As the little girl said, other teams may encounter gangsters and gangsters, but your team will not.

Sometimes, too many young men and young ladies in the team can easily hold the team back, but they are also a kind of guarantee. If there is real danger, rescue forces will definitely come quickly.

Cherish the size of your team. A group of gentlemen and young ladies with excellent strength, character, and professional qualities will make many Whip of Order team leaders drool with envy. "

"I see."

"I will run the communication today. You can leave the day after tomorrow. Finish early and come back early. It will not affect the subsequent serious tasks."

"Okay, I know."

"This vote should be huge, congratulations in advance."

"You also have a dividend ratio here."

"I know, and I congratulate myself too. It feels so comfortable to lie down and draw."

"Yes, you are indeed lying down now."

"You can end your visit, my captain."

Karen smiled, took the things and walked to the door of the ward, opened the door, stopped, turned around and looked at Neo lying on the bed, and asked:

"Squadron Captain."

"What else?"

"You've already seen that this might be a fishing bait, right?"

"Don't slander me."

"Otherwise, how could you advertise everywhere that we are going to rob the tomb? And you directly gave the initial information to Xin Yali to make an investigation report? To know this initial information, you spent 50,000 order coupons."

Neo looked at Karen and spread his hands:

"I told you, your team doesn't have to worry about being cheated, let alone not being able to rescue you in time, because you are precious."

…

Walked out of the hospital building, came to the parking lot, opened the car door, and sat down.

Murry asked: "Captain, are you done?"

"Um."

Karen shook the document bag in his hand towards Mu Li and said, "When we get back, take it to make copies. Everyone has one copy. No one is allowed to be lazy. Read it as soon as possible, and read it carefully."

"Yes, Captain. Next, are you going back to the Funeral Society?"

"No, go downtown."

Under Karen's guidance, Murray drove the car to the door of the Lemar Ceramics Museum.

Karen got out of the car, and Muri was still sitting in the car. The transition to the young master of the Benda family became quick and natural.

"Come on, come in and have a glass of wine...Oh no, you have to drive, so let's have tea, but you can have some snacks."

"Okay, Captain."

Karen opened the door and walked in, just in time to see Mr. Lemar applying paint to a statue of a little boy.

"Yo, Karen, hahaha." Lemar immediately shouted inside, "Selena, your brother Karen is here."

After shouting, Lemar continued to Karen: "She originally planned to visit you in the afternoon, and the snacks are ready."

"Brother Karen!" Serena, wearing an apron, ran over.

"Who is this?" Lemar looked at Murry.

Karen explained: "Muri, my new subordinate, I have just been promoted to captain of the Whip of Order."

"Oh, congratulations Karen, I knew you had a bright future ahead of you."

"Brother Karen is so awesome."

"Selena, go pour the water and take out the snacks you just made."

"Okay, brother."

Lemar shrugged helplessly and said: "I wanted to take a bite before, but she refused. Now it's okay. If I want to take a bite of the snacks made by my sister, I have to rely on your light."

"hehe."

"What's the matter, Karen?"

Entering the topic, Karen stopped beating around the bush and asked directly:

"Congers family, do you know?"

"The Congers family?" Lemar thought for a moment, "No wonder it sounds so familiar. I remembered that my carving knife has a contribution from this family. It is a long-ago enchanted family. There should be no movement now, right? "

"Yes."

Serena brought the tea first, and Muri took a cup of tea.

"What do you ask this family to do?" Lemar asked Karen.

"I'm going to rob this family's tomb."

"Cough...cough..." Mu Li, who was drinking tea, choked.

Lemar was also stunned for a moment.

Serena said: "Wow, it must be a very exciting adventure!"

"Serena, snack," Lemar reminded.

"Okay, I'll get it right now."

Lemar took a deep breath, let it out slowly, and asked, "So, how can I help?"

Karen took out some information sheets that had been extracted in advance and said, "This was the main battle puppet model of the Voss family at that time."

Lemar looked down and said, "Well, yes, it's a fighting puppet that was popular in that period."

"I suspect that the tomb I'm going to contains them."

"So, you want me to help you find a way to deal with them?"

"Well, yes, I believe this shouldn't be a difficult task for the talented heir of the Voss family."

"Yes, it's not difficult. I can do it. In fact, basically most puppet makers will habitually leave a backdoor in the combat puppets they create. However, everyone has their own unique habits. I can't I can help you open the backdoor directly, but I can make a special self-destruct gadget, which is aimed at these types of combat puppets. If you encounter them, throw them on them or detonate them next to them, and they will be able to explode in a short time. Internally affects the operation of these puppets.

I think in this case, Karen, with your strength, you should be able to solve them easily. "

"Is it troublesome?"

"The method of use is very simple, activate it, throw it, and it explodes, just like today's grenades."

"No, I'm asking if it's troublesome to make?"

"No trouble, I can make the whole set for you in one day."

"Okay, I'll send someone to pick it up in a day."

"no problem."

"But I have a small request." Mr. Lemar rubbed his hands.

"Please say."

"If you encounter a puppet made by our family's ancestors, if you still have a little bit of space left in your backpack, I would be very grateful if you could pick up some small parts for me."

"Of course, that's never a problem."

Karen and Murry sat for a while longer, had snacks, and then stood up to leave.

"Captain, do you have a good relationship with them?"

"um, yes."

After Serena was "locked" last time, everyone's relationship became closer and deeper. There was no need to mention "how many coupons" politely, and unnecessary processes were omitted.

"How high is the store owner of the Worth family?"

"He is still young compared to his career. And... let's put it this way, he made a puppet for his deceased parents. As a result, they not only had conflicts and divorced, but also found a puppet for their brother and sister. Stepfather and stepmother.”

"this……"

"So, I believe he can help me solve the puppet problem. The risks of the remaining mechanisms in the tomb have been marked in the information. The threat of the mechanisms that have lost their mysterious first-mover advantage will not be too high."

"Yes."

"It's the influence of the curse that may exist in the last tomb... Prepare some purification and blessing scrolls in advance. They need to be advanced ones. Each of you should have one, right?"

"I'm sure most people have their own."

"When the time comes, you can make a statistics and see who doesn't have it and report it to me."

"Yes, Captain."

"Okay, let's go back, no, back to Allen's apartment. Does the guy who showed the movie live in the apartment?"

"He has a room."

"That's good, let's go back and watch the movie."

Murry drove the car to Allen's apartment. He first went to find the film projectionist for Karen, and then personally took the materials to make copies. The copying place was opposite the gate of the community, Aleye's agency. There is equipment for printing contracts.

"Sir, which movie are you going to watch? I have many video tapes here. If they are not available here, I can get them for you right away."

""Dead Silence", is there one?"

"There are some famous horror movies."

"Just let it go."

"Okay, sir, follow me."

Karen followed the projectionist to the room that had been renovated specifically for showing movies. There were three sofas and cushions stacked in the corner.

"Master Karen, do you need something to drink?" Hilly's mother appeared at the door.

"Ice water, thank you."

After about five minutes, the lights in the screening room dimmed, and then a picture appeared on the screen.

This feeling of watching a movie is very similar to the open-air movies that Karen remembered from his previous life. The picture quality is not very clear, but this lack of clarity is a feeling that comes from seeing clearer pictures. It has no impact on actual viewing. Not big.

Karen started watching the movie with just a glass of ice water.

Not long after the movie was screened, Muri, who had finished printing and distributing the materials, also walked in and sat down on the sofa behind Karen to watch together.

At the end of the 90-minute movie, Karen rubbed her eyes and yawned, while Muri behind him also looked very tired.

How can I put it, if you let these real priests watch a horror movie, and then want them to show the feeling of being frightened, it is a bit unrealistic, because even the horror that the director racks his brains to conjure up cannot compare with the daily life of the priests.

"How do you feel?" Karen asked.

Murry laughed: "It's not as good as romance movies and political movies."

"The prototype of the villain is the last generation inheritor of Kangjies. To be precise, he is the last Kangjies who is somewhat famous on the surface."

"Does the captain think he is very important?"

"Yes, but after all, he lived more than a hundred years ago. It's hard to find clues. I'm curious whether he entered the tomb when he died. If he did, he was probably the last generation to enter the tomb. Kangjies people.”

Is this a missed clue?

No, Xin Yali has already told herself about the existence of this person and recommended this movie to herself, which means that she must have paid attention to this person and investigated it, but failed to find specific results.

Because that Kangjies was already infinitely close to ordinary people, the prerequisite for recording events in the theocratic archives was that they must at least be within the church circle.

"Okay, I'm going back first. You can organize a seminar for everyone in the evening to study this information, summarize your opinions, and hand it over to me tomorrow morning."

"Captain, shall I drive you?"

"No, Alfred is already waiting for me below."

Murray looked down along the balcony, and sure enough he saw Alfred.

After returning to the funeral club, Karen asked Hilly to prepare a meal while walking into her study, placing the information on the desk, sitting down and starting to read carefully.

I watched this for nearly two hours.

Hilly had already delivered the meal, and Karen pushed away the information, picked up the chopsticks and rice bowl, and began to eat the already cold meal.

This is the first mission after the team was established. Karen is very cautious. He would rather make all the preparations ahead of time than to make any mistakes when actually executing it.

Neo once said that as a captain, you have to get used to the "coming and going of people" in your team.

Although Karen can understand the meaning of this sentence, getting used to it always requires a process. He hopes that his team will always maintain its integrity. Unrealistic vision is the purest beauty.

After the simple meal, Karen got up, ready to take a shower first and cool down his mind. He had not yet entered the tomb, or even entered Sangpu City, but the tomb kept appearing in his mind. The picture is swaying inside.

Walking into the master bedroom, Karen saw Pu'er who had just had afternoon tea and was sitting on the pillow, wagging her tail comfortably.

"Where's Kevin?" Karen asked.

"We are maintaining and upgrading the communication array in the warehouse. We plan to add an audio amplifier, which is like a speaker. In this way, when the communication array receives news, the speaker can remind loudly like the school bell, which saves the need to arrange people all the time. The troubles of being on guard duty.

Oh, and also add a time reporting function, which will ring a few times like a pendulum clock every hour, so that you can also self-check whether the communication array is operating well. "

"Well, I'm going to take a shower. Oh, by the way, I found a partner in the Principle of God today. Our relationship in the future may be like Grandpa and Hofen."

Pu'er immediately asked: "Male or female?"

"female."

"How old?"

"A year younger than me?"

"Do you look pretty?"

"It's quite pretty."

Pu'er breathed a long sigh of relief: "Huh..."

Then, Pu'er looked up at Karen and said with a smile, "I'm relieved if he looks average."

Immediately, Pu'er corrected himself: "I feel relieved for my great-great-great niece."

We all know each other so well, after all, we sleep on the same bed every day;

Therefore, some word usage habits can accurately convey the past meaning even if your words do not convey the meaning.

"A very good partner, I think she is excellent."

Pu'er tilted his head and said with a smile: "Look, you never said Ophelia was excellent, hehe."

"I went to take a shower."

After Karen entered the bathroom, Pu'er swung his tail and said, "Huh, I feel a little guilty every time I mention Ophelia."

Jumping out of bed, Pu'er went for a walk in the study and noticed a lot of information papers piled on the desk.

Karen's study was completely open to her, Kevin, and the Radio Genie, and there was no such thing as a secret.

Pu'er jumped up on the desk, pulled out a few pieces of paper with his paws, looked at them, and said doubtfully:

"Eh, Congers?"

After taking a shower and putting on pajamas, Karen walked out of the bathroom and returned to the study. He saw Pu'er sitting on his desk, reading the information with gusto.

"This is the information on this tomb robbery. It's so detailed."

"um, yes."

"Karen, as a former excellent expedition leader, I want to tell you that it is very boring to do all the research in advance."

"You did it for fun at first, but now I do it for life. It's different."

"It sounds like I'm being naive. By the way, this last Kangjies is the prototype of the protagonist of the adapted novel "Dead Silence"..."

Karen suddenly thought of something. Wasn't Kangjies from the same era as Pu'er more than a hundred years ago? And the tomb of the Congers family is also in Wien.

"You know him?"

Pu'er nodded and said: "Yes, I know Piston Congers. He came to Allen Manor to ask to see me, hoping to join my expedition team."

"Does he have the qualifications?"

You must know that the entry threshold for members of the Pu'er expedition team was very high at that time. Filias's wife and Bernard were both former members of the team.

"Of course he didn't have the qualifications. His only ability at that time was to enchant some puppets and then go on stage to perform magic or ventriloquism or something like that. It was just a person and one or more puppets performing and chatting on the stage to make the audience laugh.

But he brought a good plan, and I was very impressed by it, because he wanted us to take him on an expedition to excavate the tombs of his family's ancestors. Oh, what an interesting guy, isn't he? He actually asked people to dig up his own ancestral graves. "

"Then what?"

"I was quite interested at first. It was such a fun thing, but at the time Bernard was strongly opposed to it. He said that the Congers family was cursed."

"curse?"

"A curse from Artemis, the goddess of the moon."

"The main god believed in by the Moon Goddess Church?"

"Piston Congers and many generations of his ancestors have been dedicated to finding the reason why the family bloodline is cursed, and then they came to this guess:

Hundreds of years ago, a certain ancestor in his family went to enchant a highly damaged artifact - [Goddess of Mercy].

The artifact fell in an awkward shape, even worse than ordinary sacred artifacts. Maybe when the ancestor was invited to enchant it, not only his ancestor, but also the person who invited his ancestor didn't know that this thing was actually Artifact.

Then, he went to enchant it, and the enchantment really worked. "

"What kind of divine weapon is [Goddess Mercy]?"

"In layman's terms, it is the pajamas of the Moon Goddess. When you wear it or be blessed by it, you can get comfort from your soul. It is one of the very few artifacts that can purify the soul.

There should be this record in the mythological narrative of "Symmetra": During a battle, the God of Order was seriously injured. The Goddess of the Moon covered the God of Order with her pajamas, shielding him from wind, rain, thunder and lightning, and accompanying the God of Order in his recovery. . "

"Did you suffer a curse because you enchanted this artifact?"

"Yes, [Goddess Mercy] is actually the pajamas of the Moon Goddess. Do you know the effect of the enchantment produced by the ancestor of the Kangjies family?"

"What kind of effect?"

"Transparency effect."
