Chapter 39

"After all, what are they?"

This sentence

shocked Karun's heart.

No,

it can almost be said...subverted.

Since awakening, he has been constructing a cognitive system for this world, even though he has made many revisions, he still cannot completely get rid of the influence of preconceived knowledge from his past life.

This is a real world,

this is a world with a system, society, and structure,

but his previous self only paid attention to the "small fights" like Alfred and Lady Molly,

but never deeply realized that

this is a world of divine power!

Therefore, after feeling that he was an "evil god," Alfred directly knelt down and completely disregarded his image, offering all kinds of flattery and praise to himself;

It's not because Alfred exaggerated or acted;

The one who was wrong is not Alfred,

but him, Karun.

It was himself who had never really "understood" this world.

You think his performance is funny;

Others may still be laughing at you. You are clearly wearing clown makeup on stage, but still pretending to be serious.

Therefore,

Dis asked himself: Why do you think that your grandfather, me, would be afraid of these things?

Because he has always portrayed his grandfather as a hermit-like figure who silently maintains some kind of order but must also respect the rules.

But in fact,

it's not,

from the perspective of the Order of the Gods,

from the perspective of Dis,

from the perspective within the order rules,

the existence he needs to fear is actually very few.

What he worries about, what he is concerned about, and what he is involved in,

in Dis's eyes,

is not worth mentioning.

It's not that he doesn't care, but that he disdains it.

Karun also thought of Uncle Mason who knelt down on the first floor and groaned in pain.

When he came back, Uncle Mason said: Father is just a priest. If you tell him about these things, it will only make him suffer and be in pain.

At that time, he still denied in his heart:

No,

Dis is different from an ordinary priest.

Well,

in fact, his and Uncle Mason's cognition are far apart.

You don't understand your father, and I actually don't understand my grandfather.

Karun looked at Dis in a daze,

He didn't think Dis was joking, this kind of person would never joke.

The reason why he couldn't speak for a while

was because his mind was empty now, and he didn't know what to say.

"You can lead the way." Dis said.

"Oh, okay."

Karun walked out of the study, Dis followed him, and when Karun reached the corner of the stairs and prepared to go downstairs, he looked back at Dis.

"What's wrong?" Dis asked.

"Where are we going?"

I'll lead the way, but where are we going?

"To the home of Mr. Fude, the mayoral candidate."

Upon hearing this, Karun asked, "But where is his home?"Dis looked at Karun,

And Karun looked at Dis.

The grandfather and grandson stood face to face at the corner of the stairs for a while without saying a word.

After a long time, Dis asked Karun somewhat puzzled:

"Just now, it was you who knocked on the door and walked into my study, right?"

"Yes, grandfather."

"And you told me that this matter might be related to the demons, right?"

"Yes, grandfather."

"And it was also your suggestion that the person who benefits the most is likely the suspect, Mr. Fude, the mayoral candidate, right?"

"Yes, grandfather."

Dis nodded, placed his hands in front of him, and asked sternly:

"So, you're telling me now that you don't actually know where he lives?"

"I..."

Countless roars flashed in Karun's heart:

Can you blame me for this?

Can you blame me!

How was I supposed to know that you could take me directly to the mastermind's door?

When facing such a powerful figure, shouldn't we start with small clues, find evidence, catch small fry step by step, and finally find an opportunity at great risk to expose the evidence to the public?

Even if you know that the mastermind is that person, he is still a powerful figure.

Even if they have already booked the funeral home in advance, and they smile at you and show you their manners, even if they mock you, what can you do even if you know the truth? You still have to grit your teeth and swallow it;

After all, the rules are made by them.

But you're telling me now,

Let's go to his house and talk to him?

This feels like,

Theft is never good, try looking at [ pawℝead.com ].

I'm about to start filming,

And I'm looking for you for the script,

Only to find out that we're not even using the same script.

Dis looked at Karun, who couldn't say a word,

Sighed,

And said:

"So, you're actually not prepared at all?"

"I..."

"I thought you were all prepared, that's why you came to my study to call me."

"I..."

"What was your purpose in coming to me just now?"

"I..."

"It can't be just because you feel guilty in your heart, so you came to me to try one last time, but you never really thought I could do anything, right?

In short,

You came to me to cry and seek peace of mind?"

"Yes...that's right."

Karun admitted.

Because it was not the Roth family who died, he had not completely lost his mind, but his heart was also uncomfortable, just like Uncle Mason, completely suppressed by other people's shadows, but also bound hand and foot in fear, and in the end... could only resign himself to fate, cover up his conscience, and repeatedly murmur "this is the tragedy of small people" to comfort himself.In fact, he wasn't even prepared to be a small character moving an elephant in his heart.

"Karun."

"Yeah."

"Can you take the books that Runt gave you and take some time to read them carefully, especially 'The Light of Order' that you said you've already read? It's written clearly in the book, have you really read it?"

I thought it was just an exaggerated promotional phrase...

I didn't expect it to be a realistic science book.

Dis reached out and patted Karun's shoulder, saying with a serious tone:

"Thousands of years ago, even the coronation of kings required them to prostrate themselves before the gods, and they needed religion to grant them a legitimate ruling position. The divine right of kings.

In the past thousand years, such scenes have become less common.

But...

The reason is that the profession of being a king is no longer effective,

But the gods...

They have always been standing there."

After saying these words, Dis looked at the black suitcase in his hand, shook his head, turned around, and walked back to his study, saying:

"Don't be a coward. When your conscience is uneasy, lying on the ground and exposing your belly to the sun won't warm you up. Go and learn to take the initiative to do something, at least prepare a list of possible suspects and their addresses."

"Bang."

The study door was closed.

Karun was still standing at the staircase, feeling disheveled even though there was no wind.

"Meow~"

Puerh's voice came, and it walked steadily on the smooth staircase railing, turned its head, and seemed to smile deliberately, looking at Karun:

"I told you, Dis can always give you the most calm and secure advice."

As Puerh spoke, it wagged its tail excitedly.

"Are you satisfied with this advice?"

Karun looked at Puerh and finally understood why Alfred reminded him to ask his grandfather when he saw him feeling down.

Therefore...

From Alfred's perspective, he should be somewhat puzzled. The other party had already used the power of a demon, so why were they still sighing in the hearse?

Phew...

Fortunately, both Puerh and Dis have said that there is no flaw in their identity as evil gods, and that evil gods have a long period of weakness when they first descend, which refers not only to their power, but also to their consciousness (not just memory) being incomplete.

Therefore, Alfred was only slightly puzzled, but not suspicious.

Karun took a deep breath, reached out, and hugged Puerh. Puerh didn't struggle, but took the opportunity to make a request after feeling the depression in Karun's heart dissipate:

"When will you make me the carp baked noodles we talked about last time?"

Karun reached out and rubbed Puerh's belly. Just as Puerh was about to raise its paw to teach him a lesson:

"I'll make it for you tonight.""Meow~"

...

Everyone gathered in the living room on the first floor, including the Sisso family of four.

Uncle sat on the sofa with his head down, and Aunt Mary comforted him in a low voice.

Aunt Winnie covered her forehead.

Ron had a look of distress on his face, and even with his intelligence, he could tell that the Sisso family did not commit suicide.

Alfred and Lady Molly stood together, like passersby who had stumbled into a rehearsal of a depressing play.

Karun carried Puerh down the stairs, and the sound of his footsteps echoed on the wooden stairs.

Gradually, everyone's eyes turned to him.

"The deposit has already been received. We have to carry out this business no matter what. Aunt, please take Molly to handle the remains of this family of four. Although it's cold now, tomorrow is the mourning day. It won't matter if the bodies are not embalmed, but at least they should be able to leave with dignity. Uncle, please arrange the first floor according to the client's request for simplicity and solemnity. Alfred, please take care of the reporters and protesters outside. Tomorrow is the mourning day, and I don't want my home to be disturbed today. Also, Aunt Winnie, please make a list of the important people attending the mourning ceremony tomorrow and leave their addresses. We will mail them a beautiful souvenir."

After saying these things, Karun looked at everyone present again.

"This is Grandpa's wish; the Inmores family does not raise idlers. Let's get to work!"

Everyone began to be busy. Perhaps the previous depression was just a necessary transition. After the transition, you still need to face reality.

Aunt Mary and Lady Molly worked together to move the remains of the family of four to the basement workshop.

Uncle Mason took out some decoration materials with Ron and began to set up.

Alfred sat in the yard with a wooden stool, watching the reporters and protesters outside.

In the yard, there was a supernatural creature sitting, while a group of white roses sat outside the yard, looking like they were being held by a dog.

Aunt Winnie began to make a list of attendees and stood by the phone, occasionally making calls to inquire.

Everyone started to work in an orderly manner.

Karun carried Puerh back upstairs.

The previous waiting was torture, but now it was anticipation.

At the mourning ceremony tomorrow, everyone who should perform on stage will come, and it will be clear who the main character and supporting characters are.

After the mourning ceremony, he could take the list and visit each person with Grandpa.

The family of the victims had already died, and the dance of the perpetrator was about to begin, but the one who laughs last, laughs best.Karun doesn't mind enjoying their smiles tomorrow,

Just like a true hunter, before the hunt, likes to watch their prey dance.

This is a kind of appreciation,

And also a kind of irresistible pleasure.

This thought, don't know when it started to fill his brain;

But Karun has no intention of resisting or rejecting it,

Dis's attitude is his greatest reliance,

Just like what Dis said: the fist is the greatest truth.

Karun held Puerh in his left hand, raised his right hand, and slowly clenched his fist;

Puerh, this cat seems to be able to see through people's hearts,

Although still lying in Karun's arms at this time for the sake of carp and noodle soup,

But still couldn't help but jokingly said:

"So, are you also indulging in the fist of the gods now?

Can you free yourself from the shackles of worldly rules and smash anyone outside of the rules into minced meat with your fist?"

Divine Fist?

Or,

Divine Right?

Karun said: "My understanding of this fist is different from yours."

"Hehehe, what else can it be? Only the will of the gods can break through the dirty and dark world created by humans and bring bone-piercing punishment!"

"In fact, there is another kind of fist."

"What kind?"

"Your cat brain can't understand it."

"Are you despising me? But I think 'your cat brain' sounds much better than 'your dog brain'."

"Yes, that's right."

"If one day, you want to believe in religion, you can tell me."

"Why not Dis?"

"Why, why?

Hehe.

Can't your human brain think about it?"

Puerh struggled out of Karun's arms,

Landed,

Looking at Karun,

Smiling:

"Because Dis, he doesn't believe in religion."

There will be more at night, it may be a bit late, you can read it in the morning.

Also, I recommend a book by an author I really like. I think this book is the most exciting book I have read in the past two years. The title of the book is "Mo Lin".
