13 Mink Street

No matter how detailed and solid theories are, no matter how beautiful the description is, no matter how fascinating the blueprint is, use realism, romanticism, liberalism, etc. to package, embellish, and rehearse...

In fact, it's just a gimmick.

At the end of the final verification of quality, there is only one sentence: When the test comes, are you willing to stand up and stand at the forefront.

If it is said that Karen hadn't thought about it deeply when he learned from his grandfather that he needed to send someone into the cave to take out the artifact; then, when Bourne opened the door of the office and there were crows dancing, Karen already knew What to do next.

Decisions...do not exist, because there is no process of making decisions amidst hesitation and entanglement.

It's just that Karen didn't have much passion in his heart, nor did he feel that he was great, and he was even a little uncomfortable.

The uncomfortable thing is that I wiped the buttocks of those guys; the uncomfortable thing is that I have to take a group of direct descendants and other volunteers to walk a "road of no return" with a survival rate of less than 10%. Most people, including myself, may not be able to survive.

Pure white and flawless justice is still too rare and rare. Most of the time, you have to persuade yourself to take a deep breath and continue to do things while looking at those disgusting faces.

For a long time in the past, while Karen and Neo were researching promotion routes, interests, and seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, at the same time, they kept leaving notes in that notebook that shocked Alfred. sentence;

At that time, I was actually slipping into a refined egoist.

The characteristic of this kind of person is that what they have been doing and thinking are all self-interested things, but they can still make up a set of beautiful logic to put a filter on themselves, deceiving others and deceiving themselves at the same time.

At critical times, this group of people can't stand up, and they can't count on it at all; of course, it's hard for them to do any damage, and they can scream in pain if they scratch their skin, so they can only hide in the crowd and "buzz". Buzzing" as a group of delicate flies.

Master Taixisen on Fire Island summoned the Dharma Body, carrying the [Scythe of War], like carrying a huge fly swatter, his scolding, it can be regarded as completely "slapping" Karen awake.

The old man was once a close friend of Diss, and even sat on a round table and participated in the formulation of the policies of the Cult of Kosmos. For such a well-organized and wise old man, he only needs to glance at it to know what is going on in the mind of that little guy surnamed Inmeles. What are you thinking about.

After that time, Karen began to correct his behavior. In Neo's words, why do you like to involve the "Order Regulations" in everything you do now.

Faith is a torch, and many people like to hold it to ignite others. But in fact, for most people, this torch can only be used to illuminate your own path forward.

It doesn't mean that you will be great if you have faith, but self-discipline and self-correction all the time with faith, so that you will gradually become a better self.

"call……"

Karen breathed a sigh of relief, so, in this matter, he couldn't escape.

"Vic, you can choose the rest of the list. At eight o'clock in the morning, give the list to the chief."

"Okay, Minister, do I need to tell them now that they are still on the front line, but they should be changing defenses at this time."

What really needs to take responsibility on the front line is the team of formation mages and the security team on the periphery of the barrier. The rest of the staff can be replaced.

Karen nodded and responded, "Well, let them know."

It is a notice, not a discussion, let alone a consultation.

This is not Karen's dictatorship and cold-bloodedness, but the group of people he chose. They have all entered the performing arts hall and seen the "coffin", and they have sworn allegiance to him. They are now his own true direct line team.

On the premise that I have to personally lead the team to the cave, if their choice still needs to be discussed, wouldn't the things I and Alfred have been doing for so long become a play?

Besides, even the most unsteady Vic had already voluntarily called out his own name.

"I'll go home. If there's anything wrong, you can call home and let me know."

"Yes, Minister."

Karen walked out of the chief's office, took the elevator to the ground floor, and reached the basement floor where the teleportation circle hall was located.

Too lazy to take a taxi, Karen stretched out his hand to beckon the carriage parked over there, and told him his destination.

After getting into the car, Karen realized later that it was not during a business trip, why did he suddenly become extravagant.

But it’s easy to understand when you think about it, just like people who are terminally ill tend to be more willing to eat and wear more, frugality is for the future, what if there is no future?

After arriving at the dormitory, the coachman respectfully helped Karen open the car door. Karen took out the voucher and handed it to him.

"My lord, I'll give you some change."

"No, just wait for me here."

"Yes, my lord."

Karen walked up the stairs, and as soon as he reached his door, the door was opened from the inside.

The big golden retriever at home had heard footsteps a long time ago and came over to open the door ahead of time.

After Karen entered the room and sat down on the sofa in the living room, Kevin habitually leaned over and rubbed Karen's trouser legs, letting Karen touch its bald head.

"Bang!"

The door of the bathroom was pushed open, and Little Kangna, who was wearing a Karen cropped shirt, came out while wiping her hair with a towel, then bent down, and began to wipe the hair of Pu'er who came out from behind.

After they quickly finished processing, Little Kangna came over and sat down on the carpet, while Pu'er sat on top of her head.

No one was in a hurry to ask questions, because they knew that Karen would speak up.

"An incident happened yesterday..."

Karen told what happened.

The little girl, the cat and the dog, everyone is very calm.

Little Kangna didn't know enough, but she didn't think the consequences of the pollution outbreak were a big deal. During her days in the Crypt God Religion, she witnessed even more brutal scenes of genocide.

Pu'er is because of his broad knowledge. Back then, the Allen family also had crooked thoughts on the finger of the God of Light, and it even fused with the finger; experience made the cat calm.

Kevin is because, for it, this kind of thing is simply a small matter. After all, it personally suppressed and killed the Sea God with the help of the God of Order, and that is a main god!

As for the gaffe on the street yesterday, it was also because of the sudden appearance of divine power, which made it mistakenly think that the return of the gods had begun. It was not disgusted with divine pollution, but because of the change in the situation and the gap in its current state However, when a violently unbalanced mentality was generated, the rapid "barking" is actually the expression of its incompetence and rage.

"...I have already decided that I will take Alfred and the others to become volunteers and enter the cave to retrieve the artifact."

Little Connor tilted her head. After taking a bath after eating, she had already entered the sleepy time. Karen's lengthy narration was more like a lullaby to her.

Kevin's eyes widened in shock, while Pu'er raised his tail!

"Wow!"

"You're crazy!"

"Wow!"

"The body transformed by the stupid dog can make you resist most of the pollution below the level, but the divine pollution does not belong to this level!"

"Wow woof woof!"

"This is completely different from the divinity residue on the artifact and the divinity retention of the relics of the gods. Although their experiment failed, the stupid dog did sense the breath of the new god at that time. Maybe the new god has died, or there is no such thing at all. It can form a fixed existence before it collapses again, but at least it really existed during that time period!

No matter how weak it is, it is still fresh divine pollution, and it is likely to be the first pure and real divine breath to appear in this world since this era!

Riliersa, who ran out of the Gate of Reincarnation, was no longer considered a god at that time!

Do you know what stupid dog means?

Karen? "

Karen thought for a moment, then nodded.

To make an inaccurate analogy, it can be understood that this area once suffered from radiation pollution. How many years have passed, there are still radiation residues here, and high radiation can also be detected on objects here;

Now, a radiation source that may be the size of a ring has appeared. It is so small that it cannot be detected, and it has even fallen to the ground and shattered. However, it is a fresh radiation source that has just been released from the oven. It will give you fresh, intense radiation.

When Karen returned home, he originally wanted to get as much useful information as possible from Ranedar to help him increase his survival rate.

Well, now the information has indeed been obtained, but his survival rate has been "reduced" because of it.

It turned out that the worst scenario I had imagined was still fuller than reality.

Now, the probability of surviving without being polluted at all has directly become one percent.

"Karen, have you forgotten how your parents died? Have you forgotten that even Diss can't cure their pollution, so you can only help them relieve the pollution yourself?"

"Madam Tang Li told me these words."

"Karen, I admit that you are special, and you are also excellent. In my eyes, you are the incarnation of Diss. Even, I think that if you continue to give you time, you can reach what Diss has never achieved. the height of.

But you don't want to die, really, don't try to die, there is never a shortage of geniuses in this world, what is lacking is people who can survive and stand on the top of the mountain.

So, listen to the cat and don't go, okay? "

Karen nodded and said, "Okay, I listened to what you said." Then, Karen shook his head again, "But I will still go."

"Why meow?"

"Wow!"

Kevin yelled, but this sound was not an echo, but something that had never happened before. It took the initiative to interrupt Mao Mao's words.

Pu'er looked at Stupid Dog in surprise.

Kevin nodded, and changed from a sitting position to a prostrate position towards Karen.

"Stupid dog, what are you flattering now? If the Karen are gone, no one will be able to lift the seal for you, and you will only be a dog forever!"

Kevin didn't take it seriously, and after crawling down, his tail swayed slightly behind him.

Its dog eyes were looking into Karen's eyes, and Karen was looking at him.

At this moment, Kevin recalled the scene when he followed the God of Order to the place where God was buried.

Theological historians of later generations believe that the God of Order stepped down on the place where God was buried to show the difference between his era and the era of light.

But as an eyewitness to history, Raniedar is very clear about how dangerous the place of the burial of the gods is. Even going there with the strength of the God of Order back then can be said to be very dangerous, and the God of Order was being captured at the time. Plagued by "hungry addiction", after he stepped down on the God's Burial Ground, it not only brought him serious injuries, but also exacerbated the problems that had been troubling him.

As for the reason for doing this... Ranedal thinks it should be very simple. The God of Order believes that the existence of the God Burial Ground does not conform to the rules of order.

The god of order encountered what he thought should be done, so the god did it.

At this time, Karen gave Kevin a similar feeling.

He has already decided that he should do it, so he will do it, no amount of persuasion and obstruction will have any effect at all.

"Wow woof woof!"

Pu'er has no translation.

But Karen nodded and said, "Go ahead."

Pu'er rolled his eyes, okay, I won't play meow anymore.

"Wow woof..."

Kevin is introducing to Karen the methods of preventing and blocking divine pollution and protecting himself in that special and complex environment.

Karen knew that the Cult of Order would not let them just go in like this, and would definitely conduct training and issue more valuable protective equipment, but in terms of experience, even an orthodox Cult would have a hard time competing with the one in front of them. Compared with a dog, after all, everything that falls on the tip of the pen will be distorted to a certain extent.

With Kevin's continuous narration and introduction, Karen felt that his previously reduced survival rate was rising rapidly and doubled directly.

Almost from one percent to two percent.

After listening, Karen rubbed his eyes with his fingers to relieve his fatigue, and Kevin ran to his water bowl to drink water to moisten his throat.

Pu'er had already come down from Xiao Kangna's head, because Xiao Kangna herself had fallen asleep with her forehead resting on the carpet while maintaining a sitting posture.

Karen didn't know how much her growth had increased thanks to the continuous nourishment these days, but it could be seen that her skin had become a little rounder, like a delicate porcelain doll.

Pu'er walked up to Karen and asked, "Is there any room for negotiation?"

Karen shook his head and said, "Unless you want me, Alfred, your performing arts hall, and Diss' expectations of me to become a joke."

"A joke is a joke, and no one will laugh at us."

"But, I make fun of myself."

"I'm angry, I'm really angry, Karen, of course, I'm not angry because I have to die with you after an accident."

"I know."

"You should value your life, Karen."

"Then, what are you going to do with your life?"

"Meow……"

Karen reached out and stroked Pu'er's hair. When he touched its tail, Pu'er naturally wrapped the tail around Karen's fingers.

"I have already asked Luo Ya to ask the spirits in the closed space to help me improve the operation plan. When I complete the mission this time... Oh, no, after completing the mission, I have to report to the investigation team and go to the desert Divine religion conducts investigative intervention.

In short, it shouldn't take too long for you to further recover part of your strength, and even allow you to have the ability to transform back into a human for a short time. "

"Do you think I'll be happy to hear this now? Karen, I'm not a child anymore. My age is ten times your age."

"Then when I come back, I will cook fish for you for a week."

"Really? Meow!!!"

"Um."

"Okay then, come back safely, I'm waiting at home to eat fish."

"Um."

After comforting Pu'er, Karen planned to close his eyes and rest for a while, but the doorbell rang at this moment.

Kevin, who had just returned from drinking water, immediately ran to open the door, and it was Richard who appeared at the door.

"Why, I said, why!!!"

As soon as Richard came in, he quickly walked in front of Karen, grabbed the collar of Karen's robe with both hands, and his next move should be to lift Karen from the chair.

But after meeting Karen's gaze, it was the respect he had always had for this "big brother" that made him let go of his hand silently.

"Karen, why didn't you sign up for me? Ventura, Murray, Philomina, and the others all signed up, so why didn't I sign up?"

"because……"

"Don't say it's because I'm weak. I've already found out. There are cannon fodder among the volunteers this time. It doesn't matter how strong they are. They just need to be able to do a good job as a support. I believe that in the final list, there must be someone weaker than me. priest.

Moreover, I know that I am not as capable as them, but I am comprehensive, and I can do a little bit of everything. I think volunteers need a role like me. "

This kid has learned to gag in advance.

Karen told the real reason: "Your grandparents take good care of me. I don't want you to have an accident and make your grandparents sad."

Richard raised his hands, then looked at Karen with an incomprehensible look, and shouted:

"This is really ridiculous, Karen, listen to what you just said!"

"Um?"

Richard pointed at himself and shouted angrily: "I, Richard Goodman, have grandparents, and all the other volunteers are orphans!"

But the problem is that Guman's family has already had a grandson. If they take you with them, and the grandson and grandson are gone in an accident, why should Delong and grandma go crazy?

They have already sacrificed a very good daughter for the god religion, so there is no reason to continue to sacrifice two grandchildren, even if it is to pluck wool, they shouldn't catch one and keep plucking it.

But these words, Karen could not tell Richard directly.

"Karen, I'm a believer in order. When something like this happens, I should have gone up there."

"Then others have the same opportunities as you."

"Let's not mention the identity of a follower of order, but the relationship between me and you, do you know why I work so hard, even though my talent is not high..."

Among ordinary priests, your talent is considered very good.

"...The reason why I work hard is that I don't want to continue to be your oil bottle in the future, Karen. I want to help you, so even if I am beaten by my dad, I don't feel much pain, as long as Jerry's ability Can get further development, I will have more opportunities to help you, Karen.

do you know,

You, Karen, are like my elder brother in my eyes. I can feel your support and care for me all the time. I really enjoy this feeling, really.

But if you don't take me with you, I'll feel betrayed.

If you, Karen, don’t bring me to the dim sum shop, forget it. You are going to die this time, and you don’t take me with you when you die. You really don’t treat me as a brother! "

"What the hell are you talking about, Richard?"

"Karen, if you don't take me there, that's fine. I'll let Jerry out, and you take Jerry there. Jerry can help you."

"Jerry is afraid of me, you should know that."

"Then let Jerry stay with Philomena, Murray, Ventura, whoever."

"Do you know what will happen if you and Jerry are separated now?"

"I know that Jerry and I will fall into the decline of life together, I will grow old in advance, from youth to old age, and Jerry will lose the way to continue to evolve, and even degenerate, because we are too bound to each other It's tight."

"As long as you know."

"But I don't care, I insist on doing it."

"Are you threatening me, Richard?"

"I dare not threaten you, I just tell you, I will do it!"

"Then you can go back and ask your grandparents for advice now."

"I'm an adult and I can make my own decisions."

"Your threat is useless to me, even if you separate Jerry now, I will immediately raise my foot and trample Jerry to death on this carpet.

But if you can get your grandparents' permission to have your grandpa call me himself, I'll agree to put your name in. "

"Okay, as you said, my grandfather is a loyal believer in order. He will be reluctant to part with my grandson, but I believe I will be able to convince him."

Be good, when you convince your grandpa, your grandma will knock you out with a stick and tie you up at home.

Hiss... Karen suddenly realized one thing, that is, he should not come out again after returning to the Academic Affairs Building. He was worried that his grandma would come out of nowhere and tell him because of his perfunctory repentance for her earlier. An equal knockout treatment.

Grandma is in a hurry... Really anything is possible, she can even single out a guardian of a large area.

"You wait for my news, Karen, soon!"

Richard rushed out the door.

As soon as Karen calmed down, the door was pushed open again. This time standing at the door was Memphis, Uncle Eisen.

"I came back with Richard, who just took my car keys and hurried back."

"Um."

Mr. Eisen didn't enter the door, but stood at the door and looked at Karen who was sitting inside, and said calmly, "Add my name."

"uncle……"

"If you die inside and die in the same way as your mother, my condition will definitely relapse, and it will be much more serious than before. Living like that is worse than death."

Unlike the previous confrontation with Richard, Karen couldn't refute what his uncle said.

"Uncle, I will come out safely, please trust me."

"This is my heart disease, I think this time the God of Order has given me an opportunity to completely eradicate the root cause of the disease;

I promised your mother in my heart that I will protect you at all costs, and it is precisely because I know that you are my nephew that I can climb out of the last quagmire.

You are in the same situation this time, if you don’t let me follow, I will be swallowed by the last quagmire immediately, do you understand what I mean? "

"clear."

"so……"

"I'll add your name, Uncle."

"Um."

Mr. Eisen got a satisfactory answer, turned and left.

There is no need to seek the consent of grandparents for this matter. Although Eisen is their son, Karen knows that they definitely don't want to see their son change back to his previous appearance, and it is even more serious.

Pu'er teased: "Should I tell Dake, your little uncle, and Lucy, your little aunt, that we will send Guman's family a loyalty package?"

Karen asked back, "Is it funny?"

"I'm not joking, but in the tone of a radio goblin: Whether it's friends, relatives, colleagues, or subordinates, everyone's fate depends on the choices they make at critical moments.

I believe you will be fine this time, meow, you will come back to cook fish for me, so, on the bright side, Guman's family is now close to you, that is really a great luck .

Karen, you can get rid of everything else, but you can't get rid of the shackles of your family, huh, you didn't want to get rid of it, and you enjoyed it. "

"Okay, I'm going back to the Academic Affairs Building, it's very busy there, and it's almost dawn."

Karen got up, first picked up Little Kangna who was sleeping soundly in a kowtow position, and sent her to her bed, then walked to the door by herself, and Pu'er sat on Kevin's back.

Kevin was going to say goodbye, but Pu'er scratched Kevin's hair. Kevin was a little puzzled, but he still obeyed the order of "Cthulhu Knight" and went back to the bedroom without saying goodbye.

Pu'er took a deep breath and said in a slightly aggrieved tone:

"I'll see you soon, there's no need to say goodbye."

...

Karen walked out the door, just in time to see liquid falling from the railing in front of him.

Looking up, it wasn't upstairs, but on the roof. Someone stretched out a hand and poured out a bottle of red wine completely.

Although Karen didn't like drinking, she could smell it. The wine was expensive and had to be bought with coupons, so it didn't fit the style of the wine pourer.

Instead of going downstairs, he went upstairs, and Karen came to the top of the building.

Neo threw the empty wine bottle in front of him, and the bottle rolled down to Karen's feet.

Karen bent down to pick up the wine bottle on the ground, put it away, and asked, "How many days?"

Neo, who was lying on his side at the railing, stretched out a finger to Karen and asked, "I thought you would put my name first, but it turned out that my name wasn't there."

"Your situation is a bit complicated now. You are already having a tea party. I'm afraid that after pulling you down with you, you can form a basketball team."

"May I also thank you for not mentioning the football team?"

"You're welcome."

Neo stood up, clapped his hands, and walked in front of Karen: "How can such a fun thing be done without me?"

"It's not fun. Do you know that the probability that I just got out of Kevin's dog's mouth without being contaminated and safe is only 2%?"

"Isn't this much more exciting than playing the Zoran wheel?"

"hehe."

"I have to go, Karen, you can't go inside alone without me, tsk...that's not right.

That place is dangerous, you need me to show you the way. "

"Will it be more dangerous to take you there? There were still two points in the survival rate, but after taking you there, it directly returned to zero?"

"I have temporarily solved my previous problems, and now those few are obedient in my mind, you can check it."

With that said, Neo put his palm on Karen's shoulder, releasing his spiritual consciousness.

Karen did not stop him, and built a spiritual bridge with Neo, which will facilitate the spiritual resonance and communication between the two.

"You are all afraid of pollution, and I should be too, but now I can use another method to turn my disadvantage into an advantage. For example, under the premise that everyone will be polluted with a high probability, I can have more The spare wheel can be contaminated.

for example……"

A phantom of a black dress appeared on Neo's body, and Neo's eyes became strange, and he said with a voice he had never heard before:

"Blood is my only obsession in this life. Apart from blood, everything else can't make my heart move."

Immediately afterwards,

A phantom of a noble robe appeared on Neo's body, his eyes became serious, and his aura suddenly overwhelmed the surroundings:

"I don't believe that there is a God of Light in this world. The influence of other gods doesn't exist here."

Immediately, Neo returned to normal, he smiled and said: "Look, the seal effect of the gambler is really good, at least in the last few months, I can not only switch personalities, but also control and control these people G. Phileas's personality is not suitable for use when he enters that place, I am worried that he will suddenly become obsessed with research and simply don't want to leave, hahaha."

Neo's laughter is very hearty, with a strong confidence, and he does have this capital.

A person, who has been walking on the edge of being lost, has found himself again and again. No matter what kind of blow he faces, he is like a reef in the sea, standing there all the time.

"Hey, tell me something, how is the test result, you should have felt it just now, right?"

"Um."

"So, add my name, if you die in it, I will really be disgusted, why I can't die forever, why do you leave one by one .”

Karen spread out his palm, and a cloud of black mist appeared in his palm, and at the same time, a shallow phantom of order appeared behind him.

"Neo, do you know what I'm most worried about? When I talked to Kevin earlier, Kevin deliberately didn't mention that part, but it was very clear in his heart, and I was also very clear in my heart.

I have a stronger ability to resist pollution than you, but compared to the divine pollution that will actually try to influence you from the outside, my biggest threat is still the hunger addiction in my body. I am a little scared. There, ushered in the largest outbreak of hunger addiction.

Once I failed to suppress it, I would be lost; my ego, probably permanently asleep, would cease to be me. "

"Oh, what are you afraid of, what a big deal."

A ray of pure white light suddenly appeared on Neo's body, making the edges of his body seem to be wrapped in a layer of milky white:

"Didn't you accidentally fall asleep? I'll just wake you up."
