13 Mink Street

It's night.

Karen sat at the desk in her bedroom, on which lay a blank sheet of paper with a new box of paint on it.

hesitate again and again,

In the end, Karen was still reluctant to use the box of paint, but picked up a sharpened pencil that he had asked Lent earlier, and began to sketch casually on the white paper.

First draw the human eyes, then expand the other facial features, and finally draw the human neck and shoulders.

soon,

A "person" that Karen himself did not know appeared on this piece of paper;

Even the distinction between genders is somewhat blurred, Karen himself doesn't know whether it's male or female.

After finishing the painting, I didn't bother to appreciate it by myself, but lifted the white paper and turned it face down.

If there was another psychiatrist standing here at this time, he could use this painting to analyze Karen's mental state at this time, but Karen was not that interested in doing a psychological analysis for himself.

"Brother, do you need me to pour you a glass of water?" Lunt asked who was lying on the bed and playing cards.

"good."

Lent got out of bed and walked out of the bedroom. After a while, he came in with a glass of ice water and put it on Karen's desk.

"Brother, are you in a bad mood?"

"No." Karen shook his head, "Maybe I feel a little bored."

"Then give this card to you."

Lent placed a card in front of Karen. It was a beautifully printed card with a full moon on it, and it was marked [Moonlight purification, which can dispel all negative magic effects. 】

Lent still has a stack of cards like this in his hand. This is one of the most popular toys for male students of his age in recent years. Lent spends more than half of his monthly pocket money on collecting these cards.

Karen can also understand this. In his previous life, he also bought many packs of instant noodles in order to collect such cards when he was a child.

"Thanks."

"You're welcome, brother."

Lunt lay back on the bed.

Karen drank two sips of ice water, leaned back on the back of the chair, propped up his hands, and stretched.

"I'm going out to get some air, do you want to come together?"

Lunt asked curiously, "Will Grandpa be together?"

"We can go ask him together."

Lent stuck out his tongue: "Brother, I don't want to take this risk."

The family's awe of grandpa is really imprinted in his bones.

"Here, brother, I'll give you another card." Lent pulled out another card and handed it to Karen.

Karen took it over, a person was drawn on this card, and behind this person was a shadow drawn diagonally to the side.

[Shadow Guardian——Summon a black figure to accompany you]

"You gave me two already, are you willing?" Karen asked.

Lunt smiled and said, "Some cards are easier to obtain and not difficult to collect. I have many of the same cards."

"Ah That's good."

Karen walked out of the bedroom, the door of grandpa's study was opened, and Uncle Mason could be seen inside, stepping on the ladder to replace the lamp.

Karen went in and helped his uncle hold the ladder.

Uncle Mason said while changing the light bulb: "Mr. Lommard, an old believer in the church, was dying. Mrs. Lommard called and asked your grandfather to pray for him. Mr. Lommard Jr. drove to pick him up. "

"Grandpa worked hard," Karen said.

"Who says it's not? Half of the family's stable business is based on your grandfather's word of mouth. Alright, it's alright."

Uncle Mason got down from the ladder, went to the switch and pressed it, and the light came on.

"By the way, Karen, do you want a late-night snack? Your aunt just bought a new case of canned herring for us both this afternoon."

"That would be great, but I'm not hungry now, and it's a crime to eat canned herring when I'm not hungry, so I'm going to go for a walk."

"Oh, then you're really out of luck." Uncle Mason said regretfully, "You know, the time our family allows us to open canned herring is actually very short, especially when we can't open all the windows to ventilate after winter. It tends to feel like the two of us set off a gas bomb there. Well, the poor man never gets the true meaning of good food, does he?"

"Yes, a moment of silence for the Herrings who lost their soul escorts."

Karen pretended to be sorry, walked out of the study and went downstairs.

At the dining table on the second floor, Aunt Winnie and Aunt Mary were reconciling accounts together. They seemed to be arguing quietly about the details of a certain payment, and they didn't pay attention when Karen went downstairs.

When I came to the living room on the first floor, it was very quiet, only the lights at the stairs were on, so the corners of the living room were dark at this time. For outsiders, it is easy to arouse a lot of reverie at this time.

Karen looked at the door of the living room, and didn't rush out. Instead, she walked into the basement and came to the door of her aunt's workshop.

The two welfare single corpses lying inside had already been preliminarily treated by the aunt. The magician was wearing a cheap suit, while Mandira was changed into a long red dress by the aunt.

Karen looked at Mandira. After a while, Mandira seemed to have received some kind of induction and sat up from the steel bed.

"You're bored staying here, let's go for a walk together?"

Tomorrow morning, the two remains will be placed on the first floor one after another. After the process is completed and the photos are taken, they will be sent to Paul's crematorium for incineration.

Karen walked to the living room on the first floor. After making sure that no family members came down, Mandira also walked out. She was wearing a long skirt and put on makeup, giving off a very gentle and quiet feeling.

As soon as he walked out of the courtyard, Karen saw a figure in a red suit, which was Alfred walking towards here.

Alfred saw Karen, and at the same time saw Mandira standing behind Karen, and immediately said with emotion in his heart:

Oh, my God, is this the hobby of great beings, taking a dead person out for a walk late at night?

"Master."

Alfred greets Karen.

Karen didn't expect Alfred to come over so late. If he had come out earlier, he wouldn't have to "call" Mandira to accompany him.

"How did you come?"

"It's such a young master. I've found some clues about the circus, so I'm here to report to you that they haven't left Luojia City. They're just hiding in a farm and watching the wind. I'll continue Find a relationship to stare at them for more information."

"Okay, if it's about information, send a copy to Diss."

"Yes, I understand. Then I will report to Master Diss now?"

Alfred felt that he still shouldn't be the light bulb, even if the young master took the female companion out for a walk tonight...she was a corpse.

"Grandpa is not here, I went to Mr. Longmar's house to pray."

"Mr. Lommard?" Alfred chewed on the name.

"It should be just an ordinary believer," Karen said.

"Okay, I see, master."

Diss told himself that there are still seven days left, and it will soon pass zero, but in fact, there are only six days left.

During such a precious countdown, Dister deliberately went to the home of an ordinary believer at night to complete the work that an ordinary priest should do;

Is it hard to understand? No, it makes sense, because that's how Diss behaves.

"Alfred, have you ever been to Wayne?" Karen asked as he walked forward.

"I've been there before, Wien is a wonderful country." Alfred replied as he walked along.

He answered very simply, because he knew that even if the young master had never been to Wayne, he would definitely be able to gain an understanding of Wayne through various methods.

The original intention of the question was to put forward not so bluntly: You can also take a walk with me.

One person, two people, three people travel.

Karen walked in the middle, Alfred followed by half a body behind, and Mandira followed Karen's pace firmly.

For the next part of the road, Karen didn't take the initiative to speak again, and Alfred also kept silent wisely. It was even more impossible for Mandira to suddenly say:

Oh, the moonlight is really nice tonight.

Walking into a small park in Minke Street, it is actually a slightly larger open space with several bonsai and several benches inside.

Karen sat down on the bench, and Alfred sat down beside him.

Originally in his mind, Karen also motioned for Mandira to sit down, and Mandira also accepted the gesture, walked up to Karen, turned his back to Karen, and then sat straight on Karen's body.

If Karen puts his arms around her at this time, it is one of the typical ambiguous sitting postures between lovers.

Alfred's eyelids twitched slightly, but he immediately looked away, looking at the dim streetlight opposite, what a beautiful light scene, this streetlight is really a magical embodiment of the Creator.

In fact, Karen did not expect that Mandira would choose to sit down like this. It is impossible for her aunt to put on too thick clothes for her. The corpse is not afraid of the cold. Anyway, they cannot complain to her aunt under normal circumstances.

Therefore, Mandira, who was only wearing a skirt, gave Karen a very cold touch, and her muscles had long been stiff and tight, as if being leaned on by a person with full body muscles.

Mandila, you sit over there.

Karen said inwardly.

Mandira stood up, walked to the bench opposite, and sat down facing Karen and Alfred.

"Alfred," Karen called.

"Hmm, master?" Alfred, who was still immersed in the artistic beauty of the street lamp designer, almost didn't realize it.

"Can Mandila stay like this?" Karen asked.

"No, because the spirituality preserved in a person's body is limited."

Alfred's eyes began to glow red, and he pointed to Mandira and continued to explain to Karen:

"The subordinates can clearly see on Miss Mandilla's body the 'saliva' left by the bewitched demon that Pu'er said, which is the array. The function of this array is to better preserve Miss Mandilla's body The inner spirituality, and the second is to increase the simplicity of manipulation.

Generally speaking, Miss Mandira's spirituality will still be in a state of continuous decline and loss, but this process will be slowed down by the existence of formations on her body.

In a small way, the array on Miss Mandira actually wears out faster, and needs to be re-buffed every once in a while, like makeup.

The subordinates have already seen signs of peeling off on Miss Mandilla's body. Maybe you can ask Miss Mandilla to come out and take a walk with you tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, but Miss Mandilla may walk tomorrow. It will be a little lame, and the walking posture will be a little weird, and Miss Mandilla will probably only be able to crawl behind you.

In the future, with the complete dissipation of the formation on her body, she will probably be like those ordinary people who were "awakened" by you in the past. After waking up for a while, she will return to silence. "

"So, it can't last forever, this state?"

"Yes, because this is a consumable product. I guess Miss Mandira should be born with a relatively high level of spirituality. This type of person is actually very suitable for entering the religious circle to receive purification. The bewitching alien from the circus The devil probably chose her as the object of his ritual control because he took a fancy to her, because Miss Mandira should be a very good material in his eyes."

"What about Ms. Molly, Ms. Molly is your 'resurrected' her?"

"No, no, it's not the Ms. Molly I revived, but Ms. Molly. Because of her family, she has some special inheritance deep in her blood. Although it is very weak, and even that family has been broken down for a long time, but... "

"Throwback?" Karen said.

"This description is very appropriate, probably yes. In addition, Ms. Molly was exposed to a pollution source by chance, which caused her to be polluted already. , Gradually alienated and demonized.

I just took her stumped limbs in time to help her to do some simple warming after the car accident. In fact, I was more concerned with her thinking and consciousness. madman.

Fortunately, Ms. Molly has always been very emotional. Although she will scare some thieves to death without seriousness, she generally has a set of logical thinking ability of a normal person. The only flaw is that she is easily out of balance emotionally. .

However, people who are easily impulsive and emotionally out of control are also very common in normal people, aren't they? "

"In this way, Ms. Molly and Miss Mandira are completely different."

"Yes, Miss Mandira is a real change after she died and turned into a corpse, while Ms. Molly, before the car accident, she was already half strange and half human.

In addition, the bewitching strange demon only controlled Miss Mandilla's body through a simple formation, which allowed her to take part in performances on stage again and again with a little mechanicalness.

His method and your "resurrection" are two different concepts, master, because in the eyes of subordinates, your ability, master, is more inclined to the ability of the judge of the Cult of Kosmos, that is, to rekindle the remains preserved in the corpse Spirituality is a natural way of 'awakening', while bewitching strange demons is like hypnosis. "

"Spirituality, can only be consumed continuously?" Karen asked, "This consumption must be irreversible?"

Alfred fell into deep thought. After a long time, he carefully gave a reply:

"Actually, for such questions, you are more suitable to ask the black cat at home. I swear, the black cat at home is definitely the most knowledgeable... cat in the world."

"Some things, I think it's more appropriate to ask you, because I believe that Alfred will always stand by my side."

"!!!" Alfred.

"Yes, master, I will always be your most loyal servant." Alfred took out the cigarette and handed it to Karen.

Karen waved his hand to refuse, and said at the same time: "You smoke it yourself."

"Okay, master."

Excited, Alfred lit a cigarette for himself.

At the same time, a new mural idea emerged in my mind,

When the great existence wanted to smoke one day, his loyal servant Alfred lit the lighter for him;

God said, let there be light, and Alfred helped God point out the light.

Alfred was almost so excited that he couldn't help himself, he swallowed a few mouthfuls of cigarettes and forgot to spit it out without him noticing.

He is a very rational, thoughtful and intelligent person, but he is often this kind of person. When he really pokes his high point, he will trigger a strong reaction that is difficult for ordinary people to understand.

"Master, what you just asked, I think this is not absolute, maybe I need to correct the incompleteness in the previous description, that is, some people who may be stronger in life, after death, if the body is preserved better, the spiritual There will be plenty of power.

In addition, the "resurrection" technique of the God of Order is to wake up the corpse, and the awakened corpse actually inherits part of the memory of his life to a large extent, that is to say, he regards himself as a person from before his death.

There is also a restriction here, that is, after a corpse that was strong enough to be "resurrected" during his lifetime, firstly, his own accumulation is profound, and secondly, with a certain degree of recovery of self-cognition during his lifetime, he can even learn to Continue to practice as before, to supplement yourself...

It's just that there will definitely be some specific changes in the latter's practice, and some unsuitable problems are also involved here, but theoretically, there is a probability that it can be done.

But the problem is that the powerful corpses in life are the raw materials that the major churches will take the initiative to recycle. After the core members of the orthodox church die, their corpses cannot be disposed of at will, and there will be people from the management office to recycle them.

and,

the most important is,

The subordinates have heard of... Well, this is also easy to understand;

That is, the more powerful the corpse was in life, and the better the preservation of the corpse, the more difficult it is to 'awaken' him.

Because this requires the caster to pay the cost of multiplying the geometric coefficient to maintain it, no less than... another form of divine descent ceremony.

Take Master Diss as an example..."

After a pause, Alfred immediately shook his head and said:

"You can't take Master Diss as an example, Master Diss is a special extreme example of destroying the sense of substitution.

Take an ordinary Kosmos cult judge as an example. It's actually not difficult for him to 'resuscitate' the corpse of an ordinary person.

It will be more difficult to revive a dead body with heavy spirituality;

Awakening a clergyman who was a strange demon or other race or has a belief system in his lifetime will increase the price all of a sudden;

And to wake up an existence that was powerful in life... He may not succeed, but at the same time, he will directly squeeze himself dry.

Just like the god descending ceremony, many times the result of failure is that the host of the ceremony will be reduced to a failed sacrifice.

So, young master..."

Speaking of which,

Alfred was suddenly stuck, and then, he turned his head to look at his young master with some difficulty, and then, his face showed ecstasy!

"No, young master, you haven't experienced purification, haven't entered the religious system, and don't have your own belief system to operate. You... are just an ordinary person to a certain extent.

But you are able to 'resuscitate' the corpse at this time, which means that your burden on the matter of 'resuscitating' will be much smaller than other judges. "

To make an inappropriate analogy,

It's like someone else's monthly salary is 3,000 rupees, and they buy a radio for 800 rupees.

And my young master’s monthly pocket money is 300 rupees, and to buy the same radio, it only costs 80 rupees.

Therefore, in essence, although the young master's income is low, the purchasing power effect he can obtain is the same.

This means that when his young master gets a job in the society and gets a monthly salary of a normal person, he can spend 3,000 rupees to achieve ten times the effect of a person of the same level!

As for why the shop owner is willing to sell a radio to his young master for 80 rupees?

This is difficult to explain, but it is easy to explain;

Because the essence of human beings is to "deify" all the unexplainable things in front of them,

It can only be said that my young master can rely on the identity of the evil god to swipe his face to get the lowest discounted price.

Even exaggerated and irresponsible to put forward a bold assumption... In fact, when the young master went to buy a radio, the shop owner simply confiscated the money for the radio, and the reason why the 80 rupiah was spent was not for the shop owner, but the young master It's just the taxi fare you pay when you take a taxi to and from the store.

"So, is this the reason why you want to take a walk tonight, master?" Alfred faced Karen, his buttocks were already off the bench, and he was almost in a squatting position.

"I've been thinking about this question." Karen said, "If I really have a natural affinity with corpses, just like Pu'er said, I have a characteristic that allows the question to write the answer for me.

So does it mean that I can find some well-preserved and powerful corpses to help him resurrect.

In this way, can I have a very powerful bodyguard?

Of course, what is gained is not only the immediate combat power, but also the performance of military, experience, wisdom, and some special abilities. "

Diss promised himself that after six days, he would not die;

But after I went to Wien, how could I ensure that I was still absolutely safe?

After all, if you are used to the absolute guarantee from Diss, once you lose it, you will definitely feel very uncomfortable.

Naturally, he counted his idea on his special ability.

This kind of corpse is difficult to find, one is the reason of preservation, and the other is the religious recycling system, even the corpses of strange demons and other races are also raw materials for their respective groups to compete for.

But, look for it, there is always a chance to find it, death is unpredictable, who knows where he died inexplicably, right?

"Master, your idea is so wonderful and great." Alfred was very excited, "When we get to Wayne, the subordinates will immediately search for suitable targets, and we will conduct experiments.

For example, some ancient tombs in Wien, mausoleums of decaying religions, and even the museums of the royal family in Wien also contain several well-preserved mummies. We can try them all. "

Karen nodded, that's what he thought.

"It's late, let's go home." Karen said, the conversation has been finished, and the specific implementation after going to Wien will depend on Alfred, even before he went to Wien Well, Alfred, who is sensible and obedient, should start planning and planning ahead of time.

The three of them returned home together, but fortunately, none of the family members were on the first floor, so Miss Mandira was able to walk in normally again.

For so many years at home, Pu'er was not allowed to talk to other family members except Diss;

The same is true for Karen. It is impossible for him to take Mandira's body to open his eyes to his uncles and aunts. This would violate Diss' command.

Karen was not in a hurry to go to the basement, but pointed to the coffin that would be used tomorrow on the mortuary table, and motioned for Mandira to lie down.

After Mandila lay down,

Karen stood by the coffin and looked at her and asked in her heart:

"Would you like to be buried?"

"Outside...cold...in here...warm..."

"OK."

Karen nodded, then turned to Alfred and said, "Before you go back, throw a wad of money at the door of my living room, and add a letter on it, saying that Mandila is to be buried."

"Okay, master, I understand."

Karen reached out and tapped the side of the coffin lightly, saying:

"Okay, now you can go back and lie down first, you will be buried tomorrow, and I will personally come to see you off and mourn for you."

Mandila walked out of the coffin and walked straight to the stairs leading to the basement, but halfway, she turned around suddenly and walked towards Karen again. After approaching, she lightly pounced on Karen's face She kissed her, then turned around and walked into the basement.

Karen froze in place, rubbing her fingers where she had just been kissed.

Alfred immediately praised: "Master, your charm is really unstoppable even by life and death!"

Karen turned to look at Alfred, and said very seriously:

"She sat across from us in the park and overheard our entire conversation.

For example, I gave her the order to go back to the basement, but she turned back and kissed me.

This means that we excitedly 'awakened' a powerful corpse, and the first thing the corpse did after its resurrection might be to slap the two of us to death with a backhand.

She is reminding me. "
