13 Mink Street

"Tick tock...tick tock...tick tock..."

In his sleep, he heard the familiar sound of dripping water again. Karen opened his eyes and saw the [Scythe of War] swaying back and forth standing in front of him.

There was no panic, no fear, not even disgust or resentment, Karen's eyes gradually softened from calm, as if greeting an old friend;

Then I closed my eyes and continued to sleep, and the "tick" sound gradually subsided.

Some things, the more you experience them, the more you will get used to them.

When he woke up near dusk, the sleep time was shorter than he expected, but the quality was good. Sitting up, Karen turned his head to look at the cigarettes on the bedside table and the ashtray prepared by his uncle, and suddenly felt a feeling of not smoking here. If one gets dirty, it will live up to the feeling of uncle's love.

But this is Richard's room after all, and Karen himself has no habit of smoking in the bedroom.

Leaving the bed and walking towards the bedroom door, there was a sound of "Xixisuosuo" outside the door, like an actor who heard the urging of the announcer and began to prepare for the final performance on stage, a little flustered.

Karen slowed down on purpose, and opened the bedroom door after the commotion ended.

Deron, who was sitting on a chair with his back to the bedroom door, put down the newspaper in his hand, took off his glasses, looked sideways at Karen as if he had just heard the door opening, and said in a very peaceful voice:

"You're awake, did you sleep well?"

"Sleep well, Grandpa."

Delong took a deep breath and let it out slowly, with a smile on his face, and when he wanted to take it back, he found that he couldn't take it back, so he could only keep smiling.

Karen pointed to the bathroom outside and said, "Grandpa, I'll go wash up and talk to you later."

"Okay, okay, okay."

After Karen walked into the bathroom and closed the door, Delong immediately stood up and waved quickly to Mrs. Tang Li in the living room downstairs!

Mrs. Tang Li, who was sitting down drinking tea, couldn't help but rolled her eyes. The old man's movements now look like a dancing gorilla.

Soon, Mrs. Tang Li came up with a new set of clothes.

Seeing that his wife was holding this, Delong immediately said, "Tea, snacks, fruit, Karen wants to chat with me later."

"You didn't talk this morning?" Mrs. Tang Li asked.

"Where do I have time to talk in the morning!"

He took care of expression management in the morning.

"I'll send it to you right away. Those who know are chatting with your grandson, but those who don't know think that you are going to see the high priest."

"I wouldn't be so excited to see the great priest."

"Oh, see if you can."

Mrs. Tang Li walked to the door of the bathroom, knocked on the door, and said, "Karen, do you want to take a shower? The new clothes are here, and the new towels are also here. Open the door and get them yourself."

"Okay, grandma."

Putting down her things, Mrs. Tang Li walked down with her hands gently swaying, feeling very good.

How to describe this feeling?

I and my husband are like a pair of lonely elderly people, sustenance and warmth suddenly appeared in the cold home.

Although this kind of thinking is unfair to other children, Mrs. Tang Li doesn't care so much. Her own happiness is the most important thing, and she doesn't like to use moral guilt on herself.

...

Karen stood under the nozzle and let the warm water gently wash over his body. What he had to admit was that at this moment, he felt the family atmosphere again.

When grandma brought the clothes earlier, Karen suddenly thought of Aunt Mary, who would also prepare clean clothes before the family took a bath.

So, I am lucky, I can live in the Inmerais house when I wake up, and now, I wake up in Guman's house again.

Turning off the shower, Karen picked up the towel and started wiping her body while looking at herself in the mirror.

Delong is now the bishop in charge of various formation departments in this region. After meeting him, he can almost think that he has mastered the formation system of this region with one hand;

This is a technical position, and the characteristic of a technical position is that those who are usually in the limelight and have a sense of presence often do not have it, but when it really goes wrong, the impact is the greatest.

In extreme cases, he now possesses the ability to paralyze and seal off the entire York City region.

The reason why Karen thought it was unnecessary to recognize Deron was that he would not calculate his family and friends for profit, but in turn, he would not pretend to ignore the help that family and friends can bring to him .

Coupled with Seuss' trust and Byrne's recognition, his influence in the Yorktown region can be said to be fully covered;

Originally, except for Philomena's special team, the rest of his direct line team were basically in position. It won't take long for him to rely on them to obtain a more precise and powerful subordinate force.

After the arrival of the dark moon warriors, if everything goes well, he can have a mobile team independent of the religious system.

Although it is said that the time for Rathma to condense the godhead fragments is getting closer, the speed on his side is also not slow.

Winter is here again, and when I came to Wayne, winter hadn't completely passed, so who can climb to such a position in a large area under Order in less than a year?

Where will I be in a year from now?

"I want to thank you, Rathma." Karen looked at himself in the mirror with a smile on his face, "It's you who gave me motivation."

Grandma prepared casual clothes for herself. As for the god robe she was wearing, grandma would wash it and ask her husband to repair the embedded formation, and then asked Xili to take it back to her residence.

Karen walked out of the bathroom and went back to the bedroom.

Deron sat next to the bedroom desk with tea and snacks on the desk.

Karen came in and reached for the teapot to pour water before Deron reached for it.

"Your grandma reminded me that some questions are inconvenient for me to ask, but I don't know what is convenient and what is inconvenient. Can you answer according to your convenience?"

"Okay, grandpa."

"How were you doing before you came to Wayne?"

"I'm doing well. My family opened a funeral service. The business is good. My uncle, aunt, and aunt take good care of me. We get along very well and warmly."

Delong nodded in relief, and then asked: "What about him, I'm asking about your grandfather."

Karen was silent for a moment.

Delong raised his head slightly and asked, "Isn't it convenient to answer this?"

"My grandpa is the best person in this world to me."

Although it's inappropriate to praise my grandfather in front of my grandfather, and I don't care about my grandfather's feelings, but Karen can throw away everything decent when it comes to how his grandfather treats him;

Diss is the best person in this world who treats himself the best.

Delong didn't show the slightest displeasure, instead he smiled: "I didn't expect that he can also be a kind grandfather, haha."

I thought that he would always be cold and arrogant to the end.

Delong stretched out his hand and patted his forehead, mockingly said: What am I thinking, he is also a human being, and when he has a family that needs to be protected by himself, he will definitely become kind.

Then, Delong suddenly realized that there seemed to be nothing to ask. He obviously just typed up a very detailed draft, but now he seems to have forgotten everything.

The setting sun shone in through the window, and it happened to fall on the grandson sitting diagonally across from him. Deron looked over and unconsciously began to look for traces of his daughter on Karen.

Probably every elder has played the game of "This is like Dad" and "This is like Mom" ​​when the younger generation was just born.

Karen didn't try to find a hot topic. He saw the brilliance in Deron's eyes and the slightly wet eye sockets, and sat there silently, letting time flow slowly.

Then, the grandpa and grandson sat like this for half an hour.

Delong finally broke away from the previous emotions. After coughing dryly, he felt that he should say something or ask something. After forcing his mouth, he actually asked:

"Karen, are you short of coupons?"

"Ah... not missing."

"oh……"

The old man's tone was a little disappointed. He found that the way he used to treat Richard's grandson did not apply to this grandson in front of him.

Fortunately, at this time the old man's watch made a sound, which meant that an outsider had entered the house.

Below, came the voice of the grandmother:

"Come down, dinner is ready!"

Karen and Deron went down. At the entrance, Judge Duck came with his wife and daughter. He also returned to the court in the afternoon, but according to Karen's understanding of the nature of the work of the court, he should be fine. The thing is that I don't want to stay in this house any longer.

Karen went down to say hello to them, after all, she was her aunt and cousin, but grandma's surprise was only shared with Delong, and no one else would tell.

Then Mrs. Cathy came back, and Richard picked her up.

The last one to come back was Philomena. As soon as she came back, she walked into the kitchen and began to report to Mrs. Tang Li about the "flow" of the fruit shop this afternoon.

After she finished her report, Mrs. Tang Li pointed to the dinner plate: "Take it up, oh, and these chopsticks."

Philomena began to serve.

The dinner was not very sumptuous, the cold dishes were served first, and then the birthday cake was placed in the middle of the table.

As for the staple food...it is noodles, and it is "Yangchun noodles" that Karen likes.

"It was your maid who told me that you should eat noodles on her birthday," Mrs. Tang Li said.

Karen thought about it and remembered that when she came back that night, she made supper alone. After learning that today was Xili's birthday, she also made a bowl for her, telling her that eating this on her birthday meant longevity.

It seems that what grandma got from Xili was not just recipes. Xili unconsciously became a spy "placed" by her grandmother, reporting her grandson's life behavior for her.

There is no link of lighting candles and making wishes. After all, this family is basically priests of order, and in the teachings of order and religious culture, followers of order rarely pray to the god of order for good health, smooth career, happy family, etc. These;

This is probably the biggest difference between the God of Order and other gods, and it is also the biggest difference between Order believers and other believers.

The prayers of believers in other religions are often: "God, please see that I am so devoted to you, please grant me..."

The prayer of order believers is often: "God, look at me, I will go to maintain order next!"

Dining, sharing cakes, and enjoying themselves.

Then everyone took turns wishing Delong a happy birthday. Only Philomena sat there and ate the fifth bowl of noodles in a row.

After finishing the fifth bowl of noodles, Richard turned to her, and she put the chopsticks on the bowl and pushed towards Richard.

Richard immediately picked up the bowl and chopsticks and went to the kitchen to serve the noodles.

Mrs. Kai Xi looked helpless at this scene, while Mrs. Tang Li frowned. Only Delong smiled.

Mainly when he was in the department, Richard got used to helping Philomena with errands and meals. Even after he became the office director, Richard would go out of the office to ask Philomena to eat with him during meal time.

As for Philomena herself... She is really not polite, as if anything, as long as it happens, as long as she is used to it, it is taken for granted, she is missing that string in her mind.

But soon, she noticed that Karen's eyes were on her. She raised her head and saw Karen looking at Deron again.

In the face of Karen, her string can often be immediately continued.

Philomena stood up, looked at Deron, and said, "Happy birthday."

Congratulations are dry, but the task has been completed. Karen is really worried that if Philomena plays freely, she will say: I wish you a later death.

"Okay, thank you, thank you, my lovely little Fisher."

After dinner, everyone habitually sat around the table and chatted for a while.

When the time was almost up, Karen got up first to say goodbye, and Duck's family also got up to leave, and everyone began to say goodbye in the garden.

At this time, a black crow flew over. Richard subconsciously wanted to help Karen catch it, but he hesitated and withdrew his hand because he found that the black crow was heading for Duck.

Dak caught the crow, opened it and scanned the message.

Richard asked, "Uncle, what's the matter?"

Dak nodded: "There was a breakthrough in a case in the jurisdiction, and the trace of the strange demon was found, and we are going to collect the net."

Immediately, Dak said to his wife, "Honey, you should take your daughter home first."

"You have to be careful."

"Well, it's just catching a cunning strange demon. There is no danger."

His wife is a judge, but she has her own job in the department, and it is impossible to help her husband with everything, especially the work of a judge... Most of the time it is boring and boring.

Karen glanced at the second-hand Pens parked outside, which Richard drove back and forth.

"Mr. Duck, let Richard drive you there. My car has been modified to make it faster."

"What an embarrassment. It's just a small task. How can I trouble Minister Karen to go out with you?"

Um?

What I mean is that you drove to catch the strange demon, and I took a taxi back to the dormitory by myself, without saying that I would go with you.

But Dak had already said this, and he was too embarrassed to refuse in front of his grandparents, even though he knew that Dak had no intention of coercing or morally kidnapping him.

Well, anyway, I fell asleep in the afternoon, and I still sleep when I go back to the dormitory, so I might as well go out for a drive.

"Richard, drive, let's go."

"OK!"

Richard immediately got in and started the car, at the same time he opened the passenger door and waved to Dark.

Dak trotted over, opened the door of the rear seat first, and waited for Karen to get in before sitting in the passenger seat.

He was intentionally trying to build a good relationship with Karen, or even flattering him. As the son-in-law of the bishop's family, his behavior seemed a bit ridiculous to outsiders.

But Karen knew that his little uncle would rather go out of his relationship and ask himself for help than ask his father-in-law.

Although he didn't know it, there was no difference.

After Richard drove the car out, Dak's words began to increase. He began to describe the details of the arrest mission, which meant reporting to the leader.

Karen could only respond politely, but she couldn't raise much interest and attention in her heart.

There is no way, I just witnessed the spectacular scene of the order knights attacking the dragon settlement a while ago, and now, it is really difficult for me to capture a strange monster who likes to seduce homeless people and drain them dry. .

And from Duck's narration, when the bodies of these tramps who were drained to death were found, they all had satisfied smiles on their faces, which was really cool.

It's really embarrassing for Dak, after all, it's winter, and there are countless homeless and drunk people who freeze to death in York City every night, and he can still find traces of strange demons in these dead people.

However, this also reflects from the side that although my little uncle is not very capable and has an average level of drilling, he is undoubtedly diligent and serious in dealing with his job.

Richard drove the car to an alley, which was a settlement of homeless people. Every night, many homeless people would come here to find the place they occupied with lice to sleep. Every morning, patrolmen would come and take sticks one by one. Beat the past, and then contact the health department to deal with the corpses that slept to death at night to prevent plague.

Duck opened the door and got out of the car, Richard looked at Karen who was sitting in the back: "Shall I help?"

"Yeah." Karen nodded.

Richard immediately got out of the car and ran into the alley together.

Karen stayed in the car, reached out and opened the car's small refrigerator, and took out ice cubes and water from it.

The small refrigerator does not use electricity, but has a built-in cooling formation pattern, which is quite luxurious, otherwise how can it appear high-end?

In fact, after the modification arranged by Neo, this second-hand Pens sedan no longer burns oil, and the power comes from energy stones.

After about ten minutes, just after drinking the first glass of ice water, Karen turned his face and looked out of the car window. He saw a woman dressed as an oriole walking towards here quickly.

This kind of dress is to tell you clearly that you can come up and ask me the price.

It's just that they usually appear in hotels and bustling commercial areas, and rarely appear here, because people here can't afford it.

The woman with heavy make-up walked here and looked back from time to time. When she came to the side of the car, she opened the door of the rear seat and sat in. Then she raised her hand and sprinkled a piece of crystal powder, which immediately adhered In the surrounding area, a very ordinary shielding enchantment was formed.

She wanted to use the car as a cover to escape pursuit.

Then she lay on her side, directly on Karen's lap, licked her lips towards Karen, her eyes were full of charm, this is... a very low-level mental hypnosis.

"Hey, I didn't expect you to be so good-looking. Don't worry, when my sister escapes those guys' pursuit, I will treat you well and let you experience the real joy of being a man."

Immediately afterwards, the woman turned sideways, saw the small refrigerator, and said in surprise:

"I didn't expect this broken car to have a car refrigerator."

The woman reached out and opened the door of the small refrigerator to get the bottle of red wine inside. When she reached into the small refrigerator, she immediately sensed something was wrong. The refrigerator was not mechanically refrigerated. Law lines!

Just when the woman was shocked, the owner of the legs she was lying on now was the handsome young man who was "controlled" by her charm technique, and made a voice:

"The wine glass is at the bottom."
