A limited edition high-end "Santulan" drove into the hospital and smoothly backed into a parking space.

The competent hospital night shift security guard walked over to collect the parking fee, but when he reached the car door and looked inside, he found that there was no one in the car that had just parked.

The night shift security guard patted his bald head due to working night shifts too often and muttered to himself, "Oh my god, am I seeing ghosts?"

At the entrance of the hospital ward, Alfred in a blue suit took off his gloves as he walked towards the ward.

The ward was on the first floor, and Alfred quickly arrived at the door of the ward.

He took a deep breath, and his right hand quickly tapped his left hand's back with his five fingers, hoping to calm himself down as soon as possible.

However, before he was ready, the ward door opened from the inside.

Standing in front of Alfred was Karun, wearing a hospital gown that was mostly soaked in blood and with a very pale complexion.

Alfred only took a glance, then immediately knelt down on one knee and said, "Great messenger of the gods, your loyal servant Alfred is here in response to your call."

"Come in."

After speaking, Karun turned around and walked back, sitting down on a chair next to the bed.

Alfred noticed that the room was very messy, especially the bed, which was covered in bloodstains.

There were also scattered bloodstains on the tiles and walls.

A black cat was lying weakly on the windowsill, and when he entered, the black cat glanced at him.

Alfred was a bit puzzled and at the same time respectfully asked, "Great one, have you been injured and hospitalized?"

Then he felt that his words were inappropriate and repeated, "Great one, are you hospitalized due to injuries?"

After the second sentence was asked, Alfred suddenly felt that his IQ tonight was a bit hard to look at.

Karun tilted his head and gestured towards the bathroom on Alfred's left.

"Yes."

Alfred reached out and moved the mop that was stuck in the bathroom door handle, pushed away the cabinet below, and then opened the bathroom door.

In front of the toilet in the bathroom, a woman wearing a nurse's uniform was covered in bruises and not moving, her forehead against the tiles and her arm stretched forward.

Alfred's eyes turned red immediately, and his demon eyes opened; this woman was already dead, awakened by the "Resurrection Technique" of the Order of the Gods and then placed under a prohibition.

Huh?

Wait, there was another consciousness inside this woman's body.

Alfred covered his left eye with his left hand; the next moment, a few drops of blood flowed out of his right eye like tears.He put down his hand and took out a clean handkerchief from his sleeve to wipe his right eye.

Inside the nurse was a bewitched demon!

Alfred stepped back a few steps, walked out of the bathroom, and looked at Karun.

Perhaps after Dis's attack, although his body had not fully recovered, his courage had indeed been strengthened.

Facing Alfred's gaze, Karun calmly said, "Take her away."

Alfred knelt down on one knee in front of Karun and said, "Great one above, please allow me to express my sincerest gratitude on behalf of Lady Molly. I will bring her to Lady Molly and convey your care to her."

Huh?

What does he mean?

Although he couldn't understand it, Karun still nodded slightly.

Alfred walked into the bathroom again. At this time, the prohibition seemed to be dissipating. The nurse who had been motionless suddenly raised her head, and her eyes were covered with white.

Alfred closed his eyes, and ten seconds later, he opened them again. At this time, the white in the nurse's eyes was covered by blood, and a faint red light began to linger around her body.

The new layer of sealing belonging to Alfred had been completed.

Then, Karun watched as Alfred carried the nurse out of the bathroom.

"Your injury..."

Karun did not hide his injuries or his weakness, but calmly said, "This is my karma."

After a pause, Karun waved his hand. "Do your job."

"Yes, please forgive me for speaking out of turn."

Alfred carried the nurse out of the ward.

After he left, Karun turned to Puerh next to him and asked, "What did he mean just now?"

Although Puerh was weak from her injuries, she still habitually mocked, "Why does the great one need to ask a cat?"

Karun thought for a moment. He remembered that Lady Molly had prayed for something from him when he left 128th Street that night.

"Puerh, what is a purified body?"

"Purification is the process of becoming a servant of God, and servants of God are the foundation of the various churches' orders. Therefore, a purified body refers to the body of a clergy member. To be safe, the body after complete purification should be at least above that of a servant of God and be a body of divine revelation."

"A body of divine revelation? Is it easy to achieve?"

"It's not easy because the personnel of each sequence in the church are registered. After they die, their bodies will be collected by the church."

"You mean, collected?""Yes, because their bodies are one of the materials and very useful.

So, it's difficult to obtain a Divine Body through normal channels, and if someone kills for it, they will anger the church where it belongs and invite terrible revenge.

But the body that Alfred just brought out is actually a purified body."

"Actually purified?"

"Because the nurse's body was 'awakened' by your ability, and the spiritual energy in it has been activated. Unless it's a special body, this trigger is irreversible, like burning fuel. When it burns out, it will go out.

Removing the original spirituality from the body and attributing it to the soul is called purification, or half purification."

"Then, can't the judges of the Order Church produce these purified bodies without restrictions? As long as there are enough corpses."

"That's why I said it's only half purification, because the bodies of the clergy not only go through baptism, but they also use their own divine souls to re-infuse the body.

And that bewitching demon, it was sealed in that body by you, so it bears a similar effect.

A purified body, without considering the bodies of clergy, requires a body that has been 'awakened' and has consumed the original spirituality of the host, and then combined with a demon whose main form is a spiritual body to infuse it.

It's like when Mary applies makeup to a body, she first cleans the body before applying makeup, and every step is essential."

"Oh, I see."

Puerh extended her claws and said, "You seem to have forgotten something. You should have asked him to clean up this ward before taking away the body."

"I didn't forget." Karun shook his head and explained, "I was just a little nervous when I saw him. He mistook me for a great being. If it weren't for Dis not being at home and my fear that the body might suddenly go berserk again, I wouldn't have called him."

"In fact, you don't have to worry at all. I know what he's thinking."

"What do you mean?"

"Did you forget what I said to you during the day? Either he thinks you're a true god or he thinks you're an evil god summoned back. In fact, except for your own denial, you have already fulfilled all the elements of the arrival of an evil god.

No matter how he investigates or looks at you, he can't find any flaws because you have no flaws, Karun."

"But I'm very weak now, aren't I?""Both the evil gods and the true gods need a long time to recover after they descend. They are weak at the beginning, and this is a well-known fact.

Otherwise, Mr. Hofmann wouldn't have been so insistent on having Dis kill you, including me."

"Me?"

"Yes, I have always hoped that Dis would kill you because I know how you descended and the price and taboo he had to pay to 'awaken' you.

As I said before, everyone, including Alfred and Lady Molly, thinks that you are an evil god, except for yourself."

"Why are you telling me this? Aren't you supposed to boost my confidence by telling me this?"

"I don't know. Maybe it's because of the face of the fish jerky and pudding we had earlier."

...

At the entrance of the hospital ward:

Under the dim yellow light of the night, Alfred, carrying a corpse, saw Dis standing in front of him.

In fact, not long after Karun made the call, Dis had returned from the hospital where Mr. Hofmann was located. After receiving Mary's message, Dis came to this hospital at the fastest speed.

Dis's gaze fell on the corpse on Alfred's shoulder.

"Your Honor, I want to remind you that as a follower of the god messenger, you are really a bit negligent."

After speaking, Alfred bypassed Dis and walked down the steps.

Dis hesitated for a moment, did not stop him, but entered the hospital building.

...

"Meow..."

After seeing Dis enter the ward, Puerh made a weak and sorrowful meow, as if a pitiful dying woman was lying weakly on the sickbed.

But Dis ignored Puerh, walked to Karun's side, squatted down, and reached out to undo Karun's blood-stained clothes, checking his wounds for him.

"The wound has reopened," Dis said.

"But he's alive," Karun could tell that Dis was really worried.

Dis looked around and seemed to notice Puerh, who was also seriously injured, and asked, "What happened?"

"Meow~"

"Speak."

"You can ask Karun," Puerh said.

"He's injured and needs rest, so it's not convenient for him to talk now."

"..." Puerh.

After listening to Puerh's account, Dis nodded and said, "I'll go to the basement to check."

After speaking, he walked out of the ward and went straight down the stairs to the basement.In the morgue, there were many bodies, some of which were disputed, and some were temporarily stored here without anyone claiming them.

Just like how there are always people who break traffic rules and run red lights, not every corpse can quickly find a resting place.

There was an old, skinny lady's body sitting on a stretcher bed, mouth open.

But she was just a shell now, with no spirituality left in her body.

After leaving the basement, Dis came to the nurse station and woke up the unconscious nurse.

"Did I... fall asleep?" The nurse muttered as she rubbed the back of her head.

"The patient in room 3 had a wound that burst and bled a lot."

"Ah! Yes, I know, I'll contact the doctor right away."

When it was just breaking dawn, the doctor and nurse arrived at the ward. Although they were surprised to see bloodstains everywhere on the bed and floor, they thought it was just from the wound bursting and immediately pushed Karun back into the operating room to re-stitch the wound.

Because he had been given anesthesia, Karun did not wake up until the afternoon.

When he woke up, he found that he had been moved to a different ward, and Maena was sitting by his bedside. Seeing him wake up, she asked with concern, "Are you feeling better, Karun?"

"Much better."

Being stabbed was a terrifying thing, but after experiencing last night, everything else seemed less scary, and he didn't feel much about the wound on his chest.

"It's all because the nurse on duty fell asleep last night, but that's also because Nasi, who was supposed to take over the night shift, didn't show up last night. The director sent someone to her house this morning, and her family said she didn't come back yesterday. They're considering whether or not to report it to the police."

Karun had a feeling that Nasi was probably the poor nurse who died last night. The voice he heard during the hospital inspection during the day was probably hers. The reason why all the staff were on duty during that time might be because she was supposed to be off work at that time.

She was already dead. According to Puerh's explanation, even the spirituality stored in her body disappeared after being "awakened" by herself. So, when Alfred carried her away, it was like she was donating her organs to Lady Molly.

Karun thought to himself that only by thinking this way could he alleviate some of the guilt in his heart.

"Oh, by the way, your grandfather arranged for you to go home for treatment today." Maena smiled and said.

"Okay."

It seems that Dis is not comfortable with him living alone outside, even with Puerh's company.

Speaking of which, where is Puerh?Karun looked around and didn't see Puerh's figure. It must have gone home to rest.

"So, I'll come with the doctor to your house every afternoon to help you change your dressing and hang your IV."

Karun understood why Mina was so happy.

"Thank you for your hard work."

"It's nothing. Actually, it makes my job easier and I can be lazy."

Of course, this kind of service required higher medical expenses, such as transportation costs and extra allowances for medical staff.

"My little Karun, I'm here to take you home."

Uncle Mason walked into the ward. According to his father Dis's instructions, he needed to bring his nephew home today.

"Young Master Karun."

"Young Master, we're here to take you out of the hospital."

Paul carried a stretcher into the room and put down the four wheels after entering the room.

Then, Paul and Ron each stood at one end, one grabbing Karun's neck and the other grabbing his leg.

Seeing this scene, Uncle Mason immediately scolded, "Damn it, you're moving my nephew, not a guest. His wound is on his chest. Do you want his wound to open again just after it was sewn up?"

Paul and Ron looked at each other and then laughed together.

"Sorry, Young Master, we're used to moving dead bodies and haven't moved many live ones."

Next, under Mina's command, Ron and Paul carefully lifted Karun up with their arms and placed him gently on the stretcher.

Next, Karun lay on the stretcher that had been used by countless guests, experiencing the perspective of the guests of the Inmoleis family.

Hmm, the vehicle used to pick him up was also a hearse.

At this time, a mother and daughter happened to pass by in the parking lot.

"It's such a pity that he died so young."

"Yes, he was so handsome. What a shame."

...Karun.

Paul and Ron lifted themselves up again, just like they did in the ward, and lifted Karun onto the hearse.

Then, a scene that surprised Karun appeared. He was actually lifted into a coffin.

"What is this..."

Uncle Mason, who was sitting in the driver's seat and starting the car, smiled and said, "I just ordered a new coffin for another guest in the morning, and I deliberately didn't unload it when I came to pick you up. It's more stable to lie in a coffin when the car is bumpy."

Karun remembered how Mr. Mosang and Jeff hugged each other in the bumpy hearse before.

After thinking about it, he accepted the reality of lying in a coffin to avoid shock.Actually, there was a cushion inside the coffin, and it was quite comfortable to lie in. Besides, you could directly and deeply experience "inner peace".

In addition, there was even a pillow inside the coffin, and there was a groove next to it, which contained cigarettes, lighters, and a deck of cards.

The hearse was driving towards home.

Ron leaned against the edge of the coffin, smiling at Karun while playing with a copper coin, and asked, "Young master, is it comfortable? I purposely added an extra layer of padding."

"Thank you." Karun noticed that Ron was flipping the copper coin in his hand and asked, "Ron, what's in your hand?"

"Oh, I picked it up. It's made of copper, not worth much, but it feels good."

Paul, who was sitting next to them, sneered, "Where did you pick it up? Yesterday, when we were transporting our own guests in the hospital morgue, he stole it from a corpse next to us."

"Hmph, how is that stealing? The person is gone, and the things are meant for the living. I just can't stand wasting things. Besides, you know what's strange? Since I started carrying this thing with me, I feel mentally energized. I drank half the night last night, but I'm not even a bit sleepy today. I can't bear to put it down, so I put it in my pocket."

"Ron, can I see that copper coin?"

"Hmm?" Ron hesitated for a moment, showing a reluctant expression, but still put the hand holding the coin in front of Karun. Karun reached out and took the copper coin.

There was no special feeling. The material was indeed copper, and there was an image of a queen engraved on it, but it was unclear whether it was from the history of the Rulan Kingdom. After all, it could also be an antique from another country, or even a children's souvenir coin mass-produced in an amusement park.

But just as Karun was still examining the copper coin,

Suddenly, he felt liquid dripping on his body.

Looking up, he found that it was Ron's saliva.

Originally, Ron was lying on the edge of the coffin,

But at this moment, his eyes were dull and lifeless, and saliva kept dripping from the corners of his mouth. He began to mutter,

"My money...my money...my money..."
