13 Mink Street

"Tomorrow is Miss Eunice's birthday?"

"Yes, Grandpa."

"Invite her to dinner at home tomorrow. Last time your uncle, aunt and aunt went to the amusement park, and they lost their manners. You have to make up for it."

"Okay, Grandpa."

"Also, today is Old Hoffen's dark day."

"Yes, Grandpa, I remember."

"Go to No. 128."

"Okay, Grandpa."

Mingri has almost the same meaning as the "first seven" to "fifth seven" that Karen was familiar with in his previous life; in Ruilan, people will also pay homage to the deceased on certain specific days after his death.

But why do you go to No. 128 Minke Street to pay homage to Old Hoffen?

The purpose of grandpa letting himself stare at the candlestick last night and what was the meaning of that dream last night?

I slept on the chair in the study room last night. Does that mean that Diss came back after going out last night? What did grandpa do last night?

Karen didn't ask Diss these questions, but stood by the window sill and watched Diss go back to his own bedroom.

Intuition told Karen that someone in No. 128 would tell him the answer.

After going to the second floor to drink water, Karen went back to the third floor and took a shower in the bathroom, changed into a more formal set of clothes, didn't eat breakfast, and went downstairs to go out.

The phone in the living room on the first floor rang at this moment, and Karen answered the phone:

"Hello, this is the Funeral Society of Inmeles."

"Karen, I'm back." It was Piaget's voice, "Can I come to you for psychological counseling now, the bank has just opened, and I have just withdrawn the money."

"I am busy now."

"Oh, that's how it is."

"You can go home first, and I'll come to your house to find you in the afternoon after I've dealt with the matter."

Anyway, both Piaget and Eunice lived on the Rhine Street, so I was going to invite Eunice to Eunice's house in the afternoon, and I happened to be able to see Piaget afterwards.

"Okay, okay, then I'll make coffee at home and wait for you."

"Well, okay, see you this afternoon."

"See you in the afternoon."

Hanging up the phone, Karen walked out of the house.

The rain stopped in the morning, but the ground was still wet.

Karen walked to the door of No. 128, and before knocking on the door, the door opened by itself.

The person who opened the door was Mr. Hoffin in a black and streamlined suit;

Mr. Hoffin looked at Karen standing outside the door and said excitedly:

"Oh, Karen, are you here to attend my Pluto ceremony?"

"Yes, Mr. Hoffin."

"Then, on behalf of myself, you are welcome to attend my Ming Sun Ceremony."

This was supposed to be an extremely horrifying scene. The dead person personally greeted the guests who came to participate in the ceremony.

However, Karen was indeed a little surprised to see Mr. Hoffin standing here, but he was definitely not shocked.

There is a small dining table on the first floor, and there are several plates of snacks and a pot of tea on it;

Opposite the small dining table is a wooden square stool with a posthumous photo on it.

The old Huofen in the posthumous photo is wearing exactly the same clothes as the old Huffin now. It should be early in the morning... No, maybe it was taken before dawn. With Alfred around, this is not a problem at all .

Mr. Hoffen found that Karen was looking at his posthumous photo,

laughed:

"I think it's a good shot, and it shows my energy. The only shortcoming is that the skin on my face is a little loose. I asked Ms. Molly to do a facelift for me, but obviously, she Your aunt's handicraft is still far from good.

But it's not convenient for me to bother Mary again, is it? "

"Yeah." Karen nodded.

Aunt Mary often said that in the past, because of her good makeup skills, there were celebrities who specially named her for makeup.

However, Karen felt that the current Aunt Mary would definitely not expect to have such good reviews from repeat customers.

"Come on, sit down."

"Yes, Mr. Hoffen."

"Huh? What did you call me?"

"Grandpa Hoffen."

"Yes, that's right, it's called Grandpa, you know?"

"Understood, Grandpa Huofen."

"Remove the name."

"grandfather."

"Hey, good."

Mr. Hoffin stretched out his hand, patted Karen's face lightly, and poured tea for Karen. Karen quickly took the teapot and poured it himself.

"Actually, strictly speaking, there is no difference between me and Diss to you."

"Yes." Karen replied, since Diss was at home anyway.

"Although I kept clamoring for Diss to kill you, I still protected you before I died."

"Yes, I always remember your kindness."

"I can see it. I like the inscription you left under my tombstone very much."

"As long as you like it."

"This is life, this is life, obsession is like a spider web, but it is easy to scatter and break. We may not be able to change anything, but we can cherish and cherish what we once had.

However, I only felt this emotion when I saw this inscription after crawling out of the tomb.

People who have not died once cannot empathize. "

When he said this, Huofen smiled and looked at Karen.

Karen raised his teacup and took a sip of tea.

"After the Ming Ri ceremony is over, you can cremate me next time."

"Okay." Karen nodded.

"With my body, it's impossible for me to "wake up" again, alas." Mr. Huofen helped Karen get a piece of snack and put it on the plate in front of Karen, "you eat, I can't eat, Can't taste it now."

"Okay." Karen started to eat. He didn't eat breakfast, and he was really hungry now.

Mr. Hoffen began to tell all about what happened last night.

Karen listened attentively while having tea and snacks;

until,

"What, you mean, there is an evil god living in Kevin's body?"

"Yes." Mr. Hoffin nodded, "That's a gift from me and Diss, your two grandpas, do you like it?"

"Grandpa, I mean, is this safe?"

"Don't worry, the formation I set up myself is very safe, but I have to give this to you." Mr. Huofen handed Karen a notebook, "There are some formations and operation methods I wrote down on it. Now you still have to It doesn’t need it, but it will probably work in the future.”

"Okay, thank you Grandpa."

Karen flipped a page casually,

The title of the small scroll reads "Forbidden Formation of the Dark Night God Sect - Sorrow of the Night";

Turn the page again,

The title of the small scroll reads: "The Cult of Order Forbidden Formation——God's Judgment";

Karen immediately closed it again, okay, excuse me.

That's why Mr. Hoffen can become Diss' friend. Although Mr. Hoffen may seem weak, um, he is indeed weak, but on another level, he interprets what is...knowledge is power.

This is definitely an existence that cannot be underestimated. Perhaps, like Diss, he chose to keep a low profile, so his status in the Sect of Principle is very inconspicuous.

"When I told you just now, you didn't seem very shocked?

No,

You just shocked the dog? "

"Because of some things, I have doubts in my heart for a long time." Karen replied, "I just got the answer from you."

"Oh, that's it." Mr. Huofen suddenly lowered his voice and asked, "So, can you tell me how you squeezed an evil god away and managed to take his warm bed as your own?"

Karen shrugged and said, "Grandpa, I really don't know."

"Grandpa believes in you."

The two sat facing each other.

"How's your relationship with Miss Eunice?"

"Good."

"Is the lady good-looking?"

"nice."

"It's good to look good, in fact, men and women are the same, as long as the other party is good-looking, they will be willing to bear more anger, um, and then the anger will be relieved faster.

However, I'm sorry that my inheritance has been divided up by my children, and even my house has been sold, so I can't go back to my own home to hold my own funeral ceremony.

So, grandpa, I can't give you money anymore. "

"Thank you Grandpa, the notebook just now is already a priceless treasure."

"The main reason is that after a person dies, even the tea is really cold." Mr. Huofen pointed to the teacup in his hand, because he is a cold corpse now, so the tea in his hand It will also cool faster.

As he spoke, Mr. Hoffin took out another big bag from under the table and handed it to Karen:

"These are the complete set of elementary formations. I stayed up late last night to write them. Not long after, um, when you go to Wayne and experience the purification of your body and have the power of faith, you can try to learn and use them. I will do them all." It has detailed annotations and explanations, and the principles and points of attention are also thoroughly written, and there are many religious formations."

Karen looked at the ten heavy books in front of him and said in surprise:

"These, you wrote them last night?"

"I didn't like to take notes before, I just liked to keep them in my mind. You know, these things are really taboo for many churches. They won't allow it to be spread outside. If I record it, it will easily cause huge trouble if it is lost. .

But now, it doesn't matter, I'm dead anyway.

My children have also divided my property, and I have fulfilled my obligations to them. "

"I mean, you write really fast."

"Oh, it uses the most basic technique of the Principle God Sect. It can be used for writing and arranging formations, and the efficiency can be increased countless times. As long as your thinking can keep up, the pen tip will not slow down.

I'm relatively stupid, and the real technique is only learned from this. "

"You are a great genius," Karen said.

"Diss is the one." Mr. Huofen waved his hand, "I won't grab this with Diss, because there is no way to grab it. I have never met a person. The most distressing and resisting thing in my life is to become a god."

Mr. Hoffen seemed to have suddenly remembered something, and asked:

"Is tomorrow the last day? I mean Dis."

"Yes."

"What about tomorrow's arrangements?"

"Grandpa asked me to invite Miss Eunice to our house for dinner."

"He really loves you, Karen."

"I know."

"I'm probably going to die the day after tomorrow. I'll try my best to last until the day when Diss comes. By the way, remember, cremate me. There's no need to pick up the ashes. Just find a river and pour me into it.

Or, on the way home after burning, you can just throw it out of the car window for me, and try not to choke pedestrians, which is detrimental to public morals. "

"Okay, Grandpa, I remember."

"Are you full?"

"Well, I'm full."

"Then, I, Huofen, declare on behalf of Huofen himself that the ceremony of the Dark Sun is complete."

Karen stood up;

"Come on, you have to invite Miss Eunice to your house for dinner tomorrow, don't you?"

"Actually, there is one thing I've always wanted to ask you."

"Oh? Okay, you say."

"Grandpa, what price did you pay for that super-standard divine descent ceremony?"

"The fact is that Diss didn't pay anything. Although he was ready, the God of Order didn't take anything."

"You didn't take anything?"

"Yes, I didn't take anything." Mr. Huofen smiled, "Because that 'Karen' has not been resurrected, and even if the evil god was summoned, the evil god has not entered this body.

I think it should be because the ceremony was not successful, and it can even be said that it was a complete failure of the ceremony.

It's like negotiating a business deal. A series of preparations such as the altar are just a deposit. In the end, the other party fails to ship the goods. Would you still foolishly hand over the rest of the balance to the other party? "

"Is that so, ok, I see."

"Don't worry, have faith in Diss."

"I've always been confident."

"That's good."

"Then Grandpa Huofen... No, Grandpa, I will take my leave first."

"Remember to collect my body in two days."

"Okay, Grandpa."

Mr. Hoffin stood at the door and watched Karen go out. He didn't close the door until Karen's figure disappeared at the corner of the street. He leaned against the door panel and murmured:

"A ritual that failed completely?

In fact, Diss was not the only one who participated in the preparation of the ceremony, but four people.

diss,

I,

Pu'er,

And that wall god... Mrs. Linda.

Diss got his favorite grandson. I can see that Diss' love for this child is from the heart, even beyond the boundaries of blood.

Because this child is very suitable for Diss in terms of character, character, habits, and other characteristics.

Maybe this is a bit unfair to the previous 'Karen',

But there is no doubt that the current Karen is more in line with the grandson in Diss' heart.

And me,

Before I died, I helped Diss summon the evil god, and after I died, I was able to crawl out of the cemetery, and then helped Diss seal an evil god.

Isn't this my dream?

I have lived a life of dogma all my life, and I have been walking along the path of rules, but deep down in my heart, I have always been unwilling, and I want to have a real indulgence.

What about Pu'er?

It is about to follow Karen back to Wayne, and it is still its family.

She broke up with her family back then, and finally turned into a cat and lived outside for a hundred years. What is its biggest dream?

Dreaming that one day, you can justifiably go home and have a look?

As for Linda, she has fulfilled her long-cherished wish. Although her divine descent ceremony failed, she finally saw the appearance of the true God she believed in;

Or, is it that she has always cared about her wronged husband the most, and she has also found a close friend who can accompany her after she leaves? This just ended her worries? "

Mr. Hoffen stretched out his hand and lifted up his slipped face again:

"So, can you understand it this way, that is:

In fact, the God of Order may have given us all what we want?

So,

god of order,

What exactly does he want? "
