13 Mink Street

In Leon's office, Xiao Kangna was sitting on the side of the desk, holding a pen, and under Leon's guidance, she was completing homework as quickly as possible.

At this time, the bell on the desk rang, and Karen's voice came from the blue shell:

"The meeting is over, you bring Kang Na here, Pu'er wants to see her."

"Okay, district chief."

"Click!"

The pen in Xiao Kangna's hand dropped on the desk, with a look of astonishment on her face:

"Oh my god, why so fast!"

...

"Kangna, are your bones itchy now meow!!!"

Pu'er's roar came from the communication circle.

The young lady of the Allen family is graceful most of the time, but she tends to get irritable when she is helping the children with their homework.

Even in the eyes of outsiders, Xiao Kangna is already a rare and motivated child prodigy, but the most important thing that the Inmeles family lacks is genius.

After the meeting between Karen and Neo, he gave up his seat and went into the lounge to wash his face. In essence, he wanted to avoid the possibility that the flames of war would be drawn on him.

After all, Pu'er is on the front line, and I stay at home by myself. Pu'er trains and trains the children, so it is easy to blame myself for not knowing how to take care of the children's homework at home.

"Snapped!"

Sitting by the bed in the lounge, Karen lit a Thunder God cult cigarette and placed it on the ashtray for incense.

Neo gave an accurate answer.

This means that my biggest worry no longer exists.

Next, he can devote all his energy to striving for the position of head of the Whip of Order Corps without distraction.

The difficulties are undoubtedly enormous.

You have to make a competitive plan, and you can't follow the usual way of thinking, because then you don't have an advantage at all.

How long has Pu'er trained Kang Na outside, and Karen inside has been thinking for a long time.

Finally, there was silence outside.

Karen pushed open the door and walked back to the office. The communication circle was still open, and Pu'er was drinking coffee. He should have finished his education and was taking a rest to moisten his throat.

Xiao Kangna stood there with her schoolbag in her arms, her head lowered, depressed, and her fingertips were unconsciously digging at the schoolbag. This was a way of decompression, but the black cat pattern that had been picked up was now hopeful again. It was "picked out" again.

Pu'er saw Karen. The high-level communication array is a bit like a holographic projection, which can include the surrounding environment.

Raising her head, Pu'er was about to speak to Karen. Karen spoke first, "I will try to take her to the desert later. The education of the children must be put first."

What Pu'er was about to say was suddenly blocked back.

"You have to be safe there."

"You too."

Karen finished the communication formation, and Xiao Kangna sat down behind her small desk, pouted, but neither cried nor made trouble, but rearranged a thick stack of homework books and exercise books, and continued to write Operation.

There have always been two reasons for Xiao Kangna to study hard. One is that she does not want to become as stupid as Auggie in the future;

Another reason is that she does not admit that she is dumber than Karen;

You know, all her clothes insisted on being remade from Karen's old clothes, and what she was after was to be equal to Karen.

Pu'er has two mantras for educating children, one is "You don't want to be as stupid as Auggie in the future, do you?" The other is "Look at how fast Karen learns."

This kind of education method is somewhat unscientific, and it is not conducive to the healthy development of people's body and mind. Fortunately, Xiao Kangna is not a human being.

In addition, the most important thing is that the phenomenon of "racial discrimination" within the Cult of Order is very serious... After all, these followers of Order discriminate against even gods.

Therefore, the most effective way for Xiao Kangna to get rid of the shackles of her own race and to have a more comprehensive development and a more detached position in the church is to break through the limitations of her own racial identity through learning.

In the history of the divine religion, there have been many powerful monsters, but the monsters with obvious "wisdom" characteristics tend to have higher status.

The result of happy education is that if Karen takes the position of the whip in the future, little Connor will be "raised" in the small world of the office most of the time like Auggie.

Karen sat back behind the desk, opened the file again, and started working.

Three days passed quickly.

In these three days, the matter of the Whip of Order Corps has gradually ceased to be a secret, and a vortex of competition has emerged.

Today is the day for the meeting of the whip-wielding direct line team. According to the usual practice, Karen entered the communication circle a quarter of an hour earlier and "sat" in his seat.

The atmosphere this time was not as relaxed and lively as last time. The familiar people were still greeting each other, but with a little more restraint.

A group of dogs, no matter how close they are on weekdays, when a large bone with extremely high meat content is thrown in, they will inevitably be envious and turn on the food protection mode.

The only person who is qualified to pick it up without causing anyone's dislike is the whip holder, but everyone knows that the whip holder cannot personally lead the army in the desert.

The figure of the whip holder appeared in the "meeting venue". In the agenda of this regular meeting, there is no candidate for the position of head of the Whip of Order.

But this does not prevent some people who have already been unable to bear it anymore, to start eagerly, one by one, like gorillas slapping their chests, exuding the breath of desire.

Karen remained silent throughout the regular meeting.

The whipman didn't order him to speak, and Karen didn't take the initiative to raise his hand to show it.

At the end of the meeting, the whip holder left, but the meeting was not disbanded, and everyone began to chat in small groups, or called...connecting.

Under normal circumstances, this is a "taboo" in the eyes of the superiors, so everyone is very smart to connect here, making this behavior a "good competition" in the eyes of the superiors.

Karen noticed that several groups wanted to recruit him to come and communicate together. After all, the militia in the York City area was the only militia of order on the front line, and if Karen was recruited, he could have more first-mover advantages.

They didn't think that Karen would be a contender, because Karen felt that the district mayor was the threshold for election eligibility, but in their eyes, only those with their own position or above were eligible to compete.

Karen didn't stay to make a relationship. Since he has decided to run for this position, no matter how much warmth and communication you have now, it will become a superimposed factor for others to blame you afterwards, and it is not necessary.

Just after exiting the "meeting", the phone rang.

Karen answered the phone, and Andy Lau's voice came from the other end of the phone:

"Karen."

"grown ups."

There were no pleasantries, no foreshadowing, and Andy Lau got to the point:

"I want that position."

He is the head of the Disciplinary Inspection Committee of the headquarters. He subdivides the power level of the Whip of Order at the headquarters. The person who holds the whip undoubtedly belongs to the only level. The second level is the No. 2, No. 3, and No. 4 of the Whip of Order...

On the next floor, Andy Law is inside.

But in this layer, there are also many sub-layers. For example, Karen didn't see Andy Law in the regular meeting of the direct line team of the whip.

Therefore, Andy Law's position in this system should belong to the middle and lower reaches of the third layer.

It's only natural that he wants the spot because it helps him get up there.

Karen was silent.

And this silence is actually a reply.

In fact, Andy Law helped Karen a lot in the past. With the help of him and Miguel, Karen was able to go so smoothly these days. After all, everyone belongs to the academic school.

But the problem of the academic school has always been big but not strong arises here. It does not have a unified core idea. Without a big banner of political stance, it is impossible to have a standard bearer, and there is no strong cohesion.

If it is another faction, after the goal is determined, it will often concentrate on pushing the person with the highest success rate to the top. The faction will also take the initiative to do the work of other competitors, persuade them to give up competition, reduce internal waste, and don't split votes among themselves. .

However, this situation does not exist in the academic school.

Andy Lau asked, "Why, are you also interested in this position?"

This can be regarded as a kind of soft persuasion. Next, there will be an exchange of interests and concessions.

Karen was no longer silent, and said simply: "I think my chance is greater than yours."

This means that the next steps can be omitted, and there is no need to bargain.

"hiss……"

There was a sound of breathing on the other end of the phone, and Andy Lau was hesitating.

Karen continued: "My current momentum is very good. If I get it, I can maintain this momentum."

The positions of buyers and sellers changed, and Karen began to try to persuade Andy Law to give up.

"However, your current position and qualifications are not an advantage in this competition. Moreover, you are too young, which is a disadvantage."

"I think it's an advantage."

"you are too naive."

"Before the establishment of the Whip of Order Legion, the whipman asked me for my opinion and took me to see the high priest."

It's no secret, but it's clear that Andy Law is not so easy to deceive.

"Is it for this matter?"

Karen lied to him very firmly: "Yes."

Andy Lao was at a loss for words because he couldn't reply: Ha, do you think I'm so easy to deceive!

Because once this sentence is said, it means that the relationship between the two is torn apart by himself.

The one who didn't want to tear up this relationship was not Karen, but Andy Lau, because he was the investor... He had already invested in Karen.

"My lord, help me compete for this position."

"I……"

"You have no chance."

"you……"

"I have disadvantages, and you have no advantages. Sometimes, having disadvantages is also an advantage. At least, I am conspicuous."

"Hehehe..." Andy laughed out loud.

"Gamble, my lord."

Karen didn't put forward his own buying conditions, because he can't give Andy Lao anything now. In addition, as a potential stock, he must also have his own pride. When accepting investment, he can't beg on his knees, but lie down , otherwise, it is to depreciate its own valuation.

"I need to think about it. Don't you think about it?"

"Don't think about it, I've already decided."

"Well, let me think about it again."

"Yes, my lord."

This call broke up unhappily.

But Karen didn't stop. According to the list that Vic compiled for himself, Karen began to call the members of the same faction who are in the Whip of Order position and have influence on the list one by one, telling them exactly express their needs.

Their influence is actually limited, and there are only two largest factions in the Whip of Order; one is the local faction, which can be further subdivided into many branches; the other is the team headed by Foden.

Therefore, it is unrealistic to use the strength of the academic faction in the Whip of Order to obtain strong support. It can really form a driving force for each other. "The only ones eligible to vote anonymously are Karen and Andy Lau.

Karen is just expressing his position through this method, which can be regarded as letting the wind out.

After doing this, Karen gently pinched his wrist. Right now, he is already a veritable "emperor" in the big area, but in the headquarters, he still has too little power to borrow.

Miguel is very optimistic about himself, but Miguel's role is very limited, he can't do too much, otherwise it will become the crunchy taste of chicken in Auggie's mouth.

Not wanting to stay in the office anymore, Karen went out to get some air, so went back to the dormitory for lunch.

Seeing that Karen came back, Xili, who was cooking, put away the thermos bucket on the table.

Karen glanced at the kitchen and asked, "You don't need to prepare too much."

"Uh...Master, there will be no leftovers."

"Okay, I get it now."

It turned out that it was not because I came back to deliberately add food, but because there will be no leftovers at home in the near future. Dina, who has to train every day, is like a rice bucket. Stuffed things will not accumulate food.

Karen sat down on the sofa.

At this time, Dinah, who just finished today's training and just took a shower, walked out of the bathroom and asked Karen while wiping her hair:

"Do you want that position?"

Karen ignored her.

"I'm going to use my own small communication array to make a routine call with that person to say hello."

That one refers to her adoptive father, the high priest.

Seeing that Karen still didn't respond, Dinah continued, "Shall I mention it for you?"

Karen shook his head: "Don't hurt me."

Dina: "Hmph, are you so proud!"

Karen closed her eyes, indicating that she didn't want to communicate too much now.

Dinah lives in her own house now, and she can indeed contact the high priest, but that is just a routine greeting between their adoptive father and daughter, she can't help, it can only be counterproductive.

A person like the high priest, when he hears his adopted daughter recommending him... what is his first reaction, that he will do anything for the sake of his position and even leave this relationship, he is not prudent.

How could such a person be assigned to the position of legion commander.

Furthermore, the key to this matter lies in Foden. What are you doing in the relationship of the High Priest? Do you want the High Priest to forcibly intervene in the affairs of Foden's territory for yourself? Also, what would Foden think when he found out?

Dina frowned and said, "Hey, I really want to help you."

Karen could only open his eyes, smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but this matter is not that simple, and it will have the opposite effect."

"Oh well."

Karen actually took the initiative to explain to herself, which made Dinah a little flattered.

After the meal, Karen returned to the office. In addition to the documents, there was an extra self-criticism on the desk.

Not thin, 20 pages.

Karen read the beginning and knew that the two vice-captains helped Andrew write it together. The format is very good, but it can’t be said to be sincere, but the thickness shows that these three young people are very afraid of being disqualified from joining the army by Karen. .

As for his resume, every credit has been marked, but it is all praise.

"well."

Karen was a little helpless, and threw the review paper aside, they hadn't realized their real mistakes yet.

Karen is really not too angry that Andrew refuses to accept himself. They can also make trouble in the Ankara Hotel, smashing the front desk, making trouble in the guest room, whatever.

What really pissed Karen off was that they wouldn't go in through the gate.

This means that the growth and work experience in the pioneering space has cultivated a deformed value in their hearts that strength and relationships are everything. They should be defenders of order, but they have lost their respect for order.

Their attitude towards themselves now is the same as that of a small gangster meeting a big gangster. In their eyes, the Cult of Order...is more like a big gang.

Vic walked in and said, "District Chief, the first batch of personnel has arrived at noon, and Mr. Alfred has arranged the first program for them."

"Then let's go and have a look."

Karen got up, walked out with Vic, and just got into the VIP car left by Neo, outside, three figures of Andrew appeared, they hurried over, they didn't know, they thought they were assassins.

Vick said: "After they delivered the review papers, they never left."

"Let them get in the car."

"Yes, district chief."

Vic waved to them, and then opened the car door. The three of them behaved well this time and saluted Karen before they all sat in the back row.

Andrew wanted to ask several times, but was held down by the two vice-captains beside him.

Inside the car, it was silent.

After driving to the suburbs, he turned into a cement factory, slammed into a wall, and then entered a barrier.

Inside the barrier is a new building similar to the Colosseum. Although it has not been built yet, it has already shown a magnificent atmosphere.

Yes, this is the execution ground that the new department is building.

Such a large execution ground, unless Karen wants to carry out religious white terror in this region in the future, or carry out a large-scale massacre of heretics, otherwise it will never be used up.

But this means that the control of this power still has to bite the bullet and agree to their construction.

At this time, thousands of Whip of Order priests wearing the robes of Order were already standing in the auditorium, and in the center, a hundred people wearing the robes of Order were bound and knelt there.

The executioner began to announce the crimes and sentences one by one.

Karen asked Vic, "So many death row?"

The Whip of Order team in your region has become so corrupt and depraved all of a sudden since you came to power?

Vic replied: "It was Mr. Alfred who was seconded to several regions in your name."

"oh."

Karen nodded, quite innovative, seconded death row inmates to kill.

The three of Andrew stood behind Karen, and they also looked at the scene on the table below. The corner of Andrew's mouth wanted to laugh, but he felt that this kind of behavior was too naive and low-level, but he knew he couldn't laugh, so he pinched his thigh to hold back up.

But they don't smile, the others don't know that Karen is behind them;

The priests in the auditorium were still laughing and chatting, killing people, they, the priests of order in the open space, have seen blood and fire a lot earlier, and they knew in their hearts that this was because they were afraid that they would be rebellious and intentionally kill people. They are under attack.

In the eyes of the priests of the large area, they are soil turtles from the frontier, and in their eyes, the priests of the large area are young quail soaked in the greenhouse.

After the verdict was read out, the executioner took off the robes of the death row prisoners. This behavior meant that you were expelled as a follower of order, which was a bit like "deprivation of political rights for life."

Some of the condemned prisoners were still wearing inner lining, while others were naked. After being stripped of their divine robes, they all looked a little funny. The Whip of Order priests in the auditorium laughed even louder. The death row inmates point and point.

But the execution... has not yet begun.

Some of the prisoners on death row were more stubborn and wanted to save face, while some were afraid and trembling, but gradually, their movements began to be unified, that is, they began to curl up.

This is a separate barrier space, and it's not cold inside, but the condemned prisoners generally began to show chills, trying to keep their bodies in contact with the ground, and even tried to move closer to the condemned prisoners around them, trying to reduce their body temperature as much as possible. exposed.

The execution officer didn't interfere with these death row prisoners. It didn't take long for them to squeeze into a big group. Those outside wanted to squeeze in, but those inside couldn't get out. The ones in the deepest part still lowered their heads and didn't even show their faces.

"Yo, you know how to be shy, hahaha."

"I'm sorry."

"It's okay for the female prisoner to be shy, but why are those male prisoners so shy? Could it be that they feel that their things are too small and they are embarrassed to show them?"

The Priests of the Whip of Order in the auditorium teased them as much as possible. They had just been transferred here, and they were arranged for this program as soon as they came. There was generally a rebellious effect in their hearts, so they had to express themselves more intentionally and exaggeratedly. don't care.

At this time, the executive officers began to drag out the death row prisoners one by one, prohibiting their grouping.

The death row prisoners who were pulled out showed extremely painful gestures. They started to cry, they started to cry, not begging for mercy for themselves, nor crying for injustice;

The robes of order that had been taken off from them earlier were all piled up in front of them, and all of them were crying loudly towards the pile of robes, begging that the robes could be returned to them, and that they could be let To die in the robe of God.

They are all priests who have committed crimes, and they have been sentenced to death for a felony. They already knew their end, but here, at this moment, when the robes on their bodies were separated from them, they felt a feeling that was worse than death. Even more bone-chilling cold.

Once lost, once fallen, once betrayed, but when it was stripped from my body, no, from my soul, I realized its importance.

On the execution platform, there was a continuous cry. Their faces were covered with tears and snot. Facing the pile of divine robes, they squirmed, shouted, and prayed frantically. Still did not stop.

Andrew no longer pinched his thigh, his smile was gone, and his eyes showed bewilderment and...fear. He looked at the back of Karen in front of him, and subconsciously clenched the sleeves of his divine robe with both hands.

I don't know when, the auditorium that was originally noisy and bustling...

It fell into a dead silence.
