13 Mink Street

"Your request is beyond my expectation. I originally thought that you would put forward a more practical and immediate condition."

"Because right now, I don't want anything from you, and I don't think I'm at a disadvantage. On the contrary, I think I will make a lot of money."

Karen shook her head.

Da Wensi smiled and said, "Don't you believe me? Actually, I've been paying attention to you for a long time. How should I put it, you are very impulsive and rational. Of course, these are not the most important things. The plan has actually been fixed.

You should know what the chief bishop of this region used to do. He has been living in the shadows, because of the last incident, he was forced to clean up.

However, walking out of the shadows is just a little uncomfortable, but walking into the shadows from the light...in fact, there is no such opportunity.

So this is the difference between you and our chief bishop. He walked out, but you couldn't walk in. Next, you can only be used as a knife again and again by the higher authorities.

This time is also an excellent example. The above should have wanted revenge, so they arranged for you to be in charge of the security work of the Desert God Sect this time.

Although it means to stop now, this kind of dirty work has been let you do it by default. "

Karen picked up the teacup, but said nothing. What Davins said was almost exactly the same as what District Chief Suss said.

Because he saw this trend clearly, the District Chief, who had a very good attitude towards himself, now has an even better attitude.

"Unless you accidentally die suddenly, or fall to your death one day if you didn't walk this road well, once you really go far on this road, then in the future, if the higher authorities need it, then clean us..."

Darwins pointed at his face,

"The task of cleaning us will most likely be entrusted to you. You must know that we are also an order of faith. Our relationship is very complicated. Do you know how many people are behind me and what positions they are in? superior?

In addition, you should also understand the consequences of raising the butcher's knife against your own people, but this is your fate.

It's often said that you can get a rough idea of ​​what a person will look like when he is a child, and the same goes for work.

So, my request is sincere, someday we fail, someday the higher-ups really can't bear to see our existence... Don't be shy, just do what you want, just don't try to kill them all.

Will you say yes, Minister Karen? "

Karen remained silent.

Darwins picked up the teapot, refilled the cups of the two people one by one, and said, "Thank you for not answering me so readily, which made me see sincerity."

"I really don't like your choice of words."

"Hehe, if there are many opportunities to meet in the future, I will change it."

"I promise you."

"Thank you." Davinsi folded his hands on his chest, "I have earned this cooperation."

"I don't like dealing with people like you very much, because you always like to mark the future one by one in a mysterious way, as if you have mastered and seen through everything."

"However, this is not divination, it is just a reasonable analysis based on the existing conditions, because I don't think you will fall halfway, if you want to fall, you will fall long ago, but you can sit here all the time, isn't it Luck.

Now, can we change the subject? "

"Now that the cooperation has been discussed, next..."

"Don't be so anxious, the meeting will not last for a short time, the desert kneeling so fast, the adults in charge of this matter on our side will definitely want to eat as much as possible, we, there is Enough time.

When did you know about us, don't tell me it was from the Chief Lord, because I can tell otherwise. "

"Then how should I answer?"

"It's good to answer truthfully. A bit of exaggeration is that from the moment you walked out of the living room door and took your left foot first, I sensed that you have a strong guard against us... No, it's disgust.

In your eyes, we are like a sauce jar full of maggots, and we subconsciously want to avoid it. "

Karen smiled and said, "But sometimes the sauce jar with maggots can taste very good."

"Yeah, you can understand us, but you deny us."

"You really should be a fortune teller."

"Oh." Davinsi sighed, "Then let me ask more specifically, in your eyes, what is the difference between us and the high priest?"

"This question is too big, I don't think I can answer it."

"The taxi driver in Wayne can also criticize the colonial policy of the Wayne Empire, Minister Karen, your status is high enough."

"Well, in my opinion, the high priest is a pragmatic reformer."

"Well, well, what about us?"

"A group of passionate idealists."

"I understand." Da Vinsi stood up and said while arranging the divine robe on his body, "To a certain extent, I admit that what you said is correct."

"Then what?"

Karen stood up while asking, and the two of them prepared to end the meeting tacitly.

"Radical and conservative are relative. Without radical, conservative cannot be foiled. Where there is no left, there is right.

In your opinion, we are idealists, but believe it or not, sooner or later you will find that our high priest...

he,

is the real idealist. "

...

Walking out of the teleportation circle, Karen and Alfred walked down the stairs. The cafe waiter came forward and brought up the packed lunch box, and Alfred reached out to take it.

"Master, wait a moment, I'll go and drive the car over."

Soon, Alfred drove the VIP car over, Neo's big baby, and now it's Karen who uses it more often;

But this is also normal. Maybe what Neo really cares about is the process of pursuit, and he is not used to facing the result he has.

After getting into the car, Karen's mind still echoed Darwin's last words.

"Master, if Merindi wakes up, she may learn the real secret."

"Secrets can't be eaten."

It is not cost-effective to wake up a "powder keg" for a secret.

"Young Master said so."

"Next, you will work hard and make contact. I am actually curious about how strong they are. In addition, I will go through the list of newly appointed bishops again. I suspect that some of them will come up this time."

"The subordinate understands."

"Go back to the hotel."

"Okay, master."

When we returned to the Ankara Hotel, the afternoon meeting had already started. Karen did not go to the conference hall, but returned to his room.

He likes the layout of the Ankara Hotel facing the sea. It is dark, damp and drowsy, and the depressing feeling like a splash-ink painting is very suitable for people to spread their emotions.

Alfred poured Karen a glass of ice water and left. He was already busy, and he would be even busier next time.

Karen gently touched the space between his brows with his fingertips, leaned on the sofa facing the floor-to-ceiling windows, and began to be in a daze.

The flow of time tends to become very fast at this time, as if the sky is completely dark after just sitting for a while.

"call……"

After stretching, Karen felt very tired, a comfortable tiredness.

Instead of ordering dinner, he took a shower and lay down on the bed. At this moment, it seemed that his body and the soft bedding formed the most perfect fit.

This time, Karen slept very comfortably.

For the next three days, Karen basically went to the meeting room in the morning to listen to the meeting agenda, and stayed in the room in a daze if he didn't go in the afternoon, and went to bed early after having a casual dinner.

It really felt like a vacation, and it was at public expense. Anyway, the exhaustion I carried when I came back from the Crypt God Sect was completely digested in the past few days.

In addition, there is another good news during the period, that is, Philomena and the others have all recovered from their injuries and returned to the team.

This afternoon's meeting, Karen went to attend, because a special person rushed to the meeting place from the Dingle region, the deputy director of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Cult of Kosmos, Kissen.

When Kisen walked into the conference hall, Karen recognized him at a glance. He was a middle-aged man, but his appearance was very young. He had a special temperament in his gestures.

If he had to describe it in detail, it would probably be the temperament that most people think order should have, cold but elegant. After all, his previous job was as one of the external spokespersons of the divine religion, and his image was extremely important.

"There is an ancestor in his family who is the elder of the temple." Richard handed the information card to Karen.

Richard, who has become a director of a certain office, played his role and quickly found out about Kissen's situation. His family background is indeed very convenient for this kind of work.

"Alive?" Karen asked.

"Yes, it is alive, but its seniority is very high."

Gathering godhead fragments and entering the temple will give you a lifespan bonus, which is one of the reasons why many priests dream of entering the temple, and this kind of lifespan bonus is normal, not obtained in a special and extreme way, at least, on the surface It looks like this.

The arrival of Kissen brought the atmosphere of the meeting into a quiet "high pitch", and the process of the meeting was also accelerated. This should be his political achievements.

Although today's high priests hold a suppressive attitude towards the temple, that only pushes the hands of the temple away from the top floor. It is difficult for the children of the elders of the temple to enter the core circle of the god religion, but they have not been blocked from their development. In fact, they cannot do it at all. They are still an important part of the religious power hierarchy.

According to the original plan, there may be more than three days of meetings. Today, all the procedures have been basically completed, and a finishing touch will be done tomorrow. If you are a little more hurried, the celebration banquet can be held tomorrow night. These people can go back.

Karen knew that there was not much time left for him, but fortunately, the action plan had been completed, and he still did two things, one was to do it in the hotel, and the other was to do it when escorting the other party out of the country, and Karen would do it pick.

End of the meeting.

When Karen was about to leave, Bourne walked straight down from the previous conference table and sat down beside Karen.

The two of them sat here, and the others immediately avoided them.

"New situation," Bourne said.

"because of him?"

"He's just one of those things."

"Don't just talk in half."

"There will be a dinner party later, and Jisen is also here, as are the people from the Dinger District Conference Group. It's an internal celebration of the success of the conference in advance. Are you coming?"

Karen shook her head.

"Before the meeting, I chatted with him. He mentioned you. He is very interested in you."

"What does this have to do with me?"

"A direct descendant of the elder of the temple, a future banner supported by a faction, are you so indifferent?"

Who is not?

"Can he help us break through and get promoted?" Karen asked rhetorically.

"Work is work, and my position cannot allow me to continue to be self-willed. By the way, Seuss will also be there, and he will have something to say to you then."

Karen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he immediately understood the meaning from Bourne's misty words:

"Do you want to replace the head of security?"

"Hehe, congratulations, you got the answer right. After dinner tonight, he plans to go for a walk in Wien Palace, so he specially invited you to accompany him."

"what about work?"

"Seuss will replace you in person, your district chief, you have to give others this face."

"When was it decided?"

"Before the meeting, I made a temporary decision. I will not provoke you. Your district chief probably only got the church now. He didn't want to hide it from you. He should have notified you and explained it to you right away."

"So worried about me?" Karen asked back.

Bourne shrugged and replied: "You just say that the defense is right, right?"

"Ah."

"You were originally the knife used by the higher-ups to kill people. Now the higher-ups don't intend to kill people. To show respect, they will definitely remove you first. The higher-ups will never think that your knife is already ready to kill themselves."

"Then what?"

"And then, are you ready here?"

"Ready."

"Then tonight is the last chance. Even if your district chief comes in person, it will take some time for him to replace the staff and rearrange the security system. Before midnight tonight, this is your last chance."

"I see."

"Are you going to the party?"

"Not participating."

"Walk in the palace that night?"

"I will go."

"That's good." Byrne stood up and patted Karen on the shoulder. Just when Karen thought he was about to leave, he sat down again with a gloomy expression.

"What else are you doing?" Karen asked.

"Do you believe my intuition?"

"Do not believe."

"Uh..." Bourne gave Karen a painful look, "Then do you believe in my professionalism?"

"letter."

"I suddenly thought of a possibility, because of Kisen's arrival...Karen, I can't use them anymore."

"They" refers to Da Wensi's group.

"What's wrong?"

"The arrival of Kissen cannot be hidden from them. I have always believed that among the new batch of bishops, apart from Deron, the other bishops may belong to them.

Don't believe their credit, they can use their so-called ideals and beliefs to explain all their unreasonable behaviors, this is what I know about them.

Before Kissen came, I thought it would be appropriate to use them as knives if you had to kill people. Now that Kissen is here, in their eyes, killing the desert gods is to explain their ideas and is a disservice to God. To teach a kind of dissatisfaction and resistance in the current situation;

But in fact, they are more willing to eliminate people from this religion.

The same thing, if you were them, do you want to continue killing the desert gods or kill Kisen? The forces behind him are the real promoters who reversed the original plan, and they are also... Doctrine traitors in the eyes of those people. "

Speaking of this, Byrne suddenly looked sharply and cursed:

"Damn it, I should go and investigate who suggested that Kisen should go for a walk at Wien Palace tonight!"

The former leader of the shadow forces, the leader of the secret service department, even after he went ashore and became the chief bishop, his past professional instincts still haven't faded.

Bourne stood up again and walked out.

Karen stopped him: "Don't say anything more?"

"Do you need to say anything more?" Byrne stopped and asked, "Will you give up?"

Karen replied simply: "No."

"Then I don't need to say anything. Kisen's status is not ordinary. To a certain extent, he is a special envoy sent by the higher authorities. Once he dies, the nature will be completely different from the death of the desert gang, and the impact will be one from the other. Underground. Well, bad luck for those in charge of security.

Fortunately, this is not the scope of my work. The Regional Management Office has already transferred this part of power to the Whip of Order.

From my point of view, in fact, I am quite happy to see Jisen die, and the ensuing turmoil can just give me the opportunity to reorganize the regional management office, and even let the higher-ups, out of the need to maintain stability, withdraw the former from me. Give back to me the power of the dark side that has gone away.

It doesn't matter to you, you will remove this security task later, and your superior will be in charge. If you find out afterwards, your superior should move.

It's a pity that both of us have no hope of promotion because of what we have done before, otherwise this is really a good thing for you, it is a good opportunity to take down your immediate boss and take the position yourself.

Unfortunately, it's just Seuss. "

Bourne left after telling the truth.

Karen sat in his seat for a while, then got up and left. He didn't go to the so-called internal gathering, although it was an excellent social opportunity for the young priest.

However, when he returned to his room, Karen saw two people standing at the door of his room. These two people were Seuss' secretary.

They opened the door for Karen, and Karen saw Seuss lying on the sofa with a wine glass in his hand.

Looking from behind, it looks like an innocent child who dares to dirty an expensive sofa with his shoes.

Hearing Karen's footsteps, Suss didn't turn his head, and said directly: "That special envoy wants to relieve you of your mission responsibilities this time. Starting tonight, you will be responsible for the security mission yourself."

"I see." Karen replied.

Suss drank the red wine in the glass, and then slapped the sofa with both hands, as if very angry, um, more like a child.

Karen stood there without speaking.

a long time,

Suss finally calmed down, and he said, "I sent you a letter to stop it, right?"

"Yes, that's right."

"I haven't talked to you personally about this because... I know you won't stop. After all, Walforon is so kind to you, you must want to avenge him." Suss sneered twice, picked up He poured himself another full glass of red wine, "Next, I will personally take over the security tasks. I said, is your plan safe?"

"Um?"

"The plan should be well designed, right? The scapegoat, details, motivations, etc., are all done?"

"it is done."

"I'll ask you one last time, can you stop?"

Karen shook her head.

Suss nodded and said: "Then continue, I will not change your security arrangements and related staffing, you can proceed according to your original plan, and I am also ready to take responsibility and be punished, At worst, I will be promoted a year or two later, and I will be the district chief here for a while longer."

"But why did you do that?"

"Although it seems difficult to get good results as your boss, I really like your persistence in this matter. Because Walfren helped you, you are willing to avenge him regardless of your own interests."

Seuss jumped off the sofa, walked up to Karen, jumped up, and patted Karen on the shoulder:

"Please remember me too."
