Chapter 41 – When the Evil God Comes Knocking

"Duo...duo...duo..."

Listen,

The sound of knocking on the door is so crisp and pleasant.

The door opened,

Dis, wearing a black robe, stood in front of Karun.

The style of Dis's outfit is similar to that of a priest, but the feeling he gives off is one of true gloom, unlike the kindness and gentleness of a priest.

It's as if everything has returned to that day when Dis asked himself at the door:

Where is this place?

Fortunately, the person being questioned tonight is not himself.

However, looking at Dis's attire, Karun suddenly feels that his own clothes are not suitable for his grandfather or for the atmosphere tonight.

His clothes were bought by his aunt and aunt, with higher quality and price than those of Brent and his friends. They are very tasteful and in line with his temperament, but it is difficult to match them casually.

"Are you ready?" Dis asked.

"I'm ready, Grandpa." Karun handed over the list in his hand.

Dis didn't look at it and went straight to the stairs. "You arrange which suspect's house to go to first."

Karun followed behind.

Actually, Aunt Winnie had arranged the order according to what she thought was the suspects' status.

The first one on the list was the mayoral candidate, Fude. In Aunt Winnie's eyes, he had a high probability of becoming the next mayor, so he was definitely ranked first.

The second one was Morv, whose conglomerate had a large industry, from cigarette factories to hospitals, all arranged in a clear and logical manner.

The third one was the old senator Haggert.

Next, there was a string of names that Karun was not very familiar with, because Karun and Aunt Winnie had different perspectives.

What Karun valued more was which forces could organize the waves of the mayoral election, that is, the pusher behind the suicide of the Siso family.

Therefore, Karun added two more people himself. One was Mr. Humil, the editor-in-chief of the Roja Daily; the other was Mr. Oka, who came to settle the bill last today.

Because Mr. Oka was the one who booked their own service, he was definitely involved. As for the editor-in-chief, he was sitting tight and had been releasing information and laying the groundwork early on. If he really knew nothing, Karun could buy a car full of canned sardines and smoke himself to death.

These five were the final list that Karun had drawn up.

As for the other celebrities, including the female star who cried while cutting onions today, Karun didn't include her. They were not qualified enough.

But there was another celebrity, or quasi-celebrity, the environmentalist girl, Delice.

In theory, she should also be excluded, but the problem was that Karun found the onion-cutting female star quite interesting, and it was understandable to make money from her appearance fee.

Karun had been disgusted with Delice for a long time. She was not stupid, but really bad.

So Karun added her name to the list, sitting on the bench outside the five people.

The list was 5+1.

This was the result Karun observed when he was mourning on the first floor during the day. Although many people ignored him or just treated him as a young waiter, they did not know that the eyes of the "evil god" had always been watching them.And when Dis asked himself where to go first...

Karun skipped over the mayoral candidate Mr. Fude, whose suspicion was the highest and could easily result in answers, ignored the editor-in-chief who had undoubtedly taken the "payment," and also ignored the old senator Haget who was basically a charging wolf today.

He even ignored the mysterious Mr. Okka, who must have some connection.

Instead, he answered, "Grandpa, I suggest we go to Mr. Morv's house to inquire about the situation."

Isn't it a pity to finish such a fun "game" so quickly?

Besides, it's more interesting to fight the conglomerate.

In addition, who told him that he still had a pack of Morv's gold-framed cigarettes in his pocket?

"Morv?"

Obviously, Dis knew this name, or rather, anyone who had lived in Roja City long enough would not be unfamiliar with this surname.

"Good."

Without hesitation, without thinking, and without weighing the pros and cons, Dis just nodded and walked downstairs.

Karun followed behind.

"Meow~" Puerh's voice came, and it jumped onto Karun's shoulder.

Karun turned his head and glanced at Puerh, and Puerh immediately crouched down and closed its eyes.

Seeing that Dis had no reaction, Karun didn't say anything either.

To some extent, besides the function of the "registration list," he might be inferior to the cat at home in other aspects.

Walking out of the living room and into the yard, Karun took out the spare key to the new hearse from his pocket, but at this moment, he found a limited edition "Santlan" sedan parked at the gate.

Alfred, who changed into a blue suit and tie, looked incredibly delicate, greeted the grandfather and grandson outside the gate, "Your loyal Alfred, responding to your call."

Although you didn't call, a loyal and excellent servant can still be prepared in advance.

And that foolish Lady Molly, she went back to 128 to rest, and Alfred didn't wake her up for the sake of her new health.

After all, a great existence is also tired, and focusing on one person is easier than being scattered on two people.

Dis looked at Karun and asked, "Did you call him?"

"No."

"Young master, I have prepared three sets of clothes for you to attend the banquet tonight."

Alfred opened the car door and took out three sets of clothes from inside.

One set was a black evening dress, one set was a wine red tight-fitting suit, and the other set was a black hoodie from a brand endorsed by the Rui Blue Royal Family.

"Young master, which one do you prefer?"

Karun hesitated for a moment, pointed to the third set, the black hoodie, and felt that he would be more comfortable in that set, while the first two were too "showy."

Especially the wine red suit, it feels like it can directly "show off."

"I choose..."

"The red one," Dis said, "It looks more spirited."

"I choose the red one. Grandpa thinks like me, hehe."Alfred took the red suit initiative and walked over, bowing to Dis first:

"Master, I'll take the young master to change first. It won't take long."

Dis nodded.

Immediately, Alfred made a "please" gesture to Karun: "Young master, this suit comes with accessories, and you need help to wear it properly."

Since his grandfather agreed, Karun couldn't say anything and could only follow Alfred back to the living room.

After changing clothes, Karun walked out of the living room and stood in front of Dis.

The clothes were a bit tight, and wearing them made people subconsciously stand up straight.

In fact, in his past life, Karun rarely wore formal clothes. Too formal clothing can create a sense of alienation when facing patients, which is not conducive to psychological treatment.

"Not bad."

Dis gave his evaluation.

Karun smiled: "Grandfather has a good eye."

At this time, Dis pointed to the ground, and Karun lowered his head. Here, a circle of starlight was drawn.

"Step inside."

"Yes, grandfather."

Without hesitation, Karun stepped into the circle.

"In the name of order, unlock all chains and restraints, give freedom to the heart and emptiness to the soul."

The light circle under his feet released a faint red light, and then, this layer of light began to cover his clothes. Karun saw the light shadows like red fireflies on his hands.

What followed were various emotions deep in his heart, which began to surge out more concretely, and the senses became extremely sensitive at this moment.

This feeling is like eating poisonous mushrooms in the mountains in his past life. People will feel light-headed and high, and even introverted people can't help but want to sing loudly in public.

Almost instinctively, Karun began to suppress the emotions in his heart, trying to isolate his consciousness from his current physical state and form a "void self" consciousness.

To put it in a more advanced way, it's like a masterpiece of a master, and in a more popular way, it's like a learning slacker daydreaming in class. The purpose is the same, to pursue a state of mind beyond the material world.

The heat in his mind began to decrease.

What made Karun feel relaxed was that the effect of this formation was not continuous, but more like lighting a fire for you to burn yourself along with the spark, rather than pouring gasoline on you all the time.

As long as he could control this spark at the beginning, the effect of this formation would be eliminated.

"Grandfather, what is this..."

Alfred spoke: "Young master, this is a beautiful family relationship that the master created for you to have fun tonight."

Dis said: "Just want to see your true nature. Don't burden yourself, just like when I took you to the amusement park when you were a child and bought you cotton candy."

"Yes, grandfather, I feel very happy now."

Do they want to see their "true face"?

Or do they want to reveal their true nature as a god of evil?

Karun was a little puzzled, but he didn't think it was the latter, because Dis had said that even if you are a god of evil, you are still my family.

He had no reason and no need to do any more "tests". If he wanted to kill, he would have done it a long time ago, right?So, is it really because of his own recent melancholy that he's afraid of developing autism, so he's taking "formation morphine" to get high and release stress?

Karun felt that this seemingly ridiculous reason might actually be Dis's intention; this is probably Dis's way of showing kindness?

Because the previous "Karun" became autistic, he wanted this grandson to be more cheerful?

And because of his professional habits from his previous life, he also failed to live up to his grandfather's kindness.

However, if he wants to be cheerful, it's actually not difficult.

Who wouldn't feel free and unrestrained? Just let go without pretending.

When he was frying spring rolls and eggplants during the day, he had already imagined it many times in his mind.

"Which car to take?" Dis asked.

There's the limited edition Suntland driven by Alfred, and the family hearse to choose from.

Karun shook the spare key in his hand and said, "Let's take the hearse, the Suntland might not fit."

...

The Morv Manor is located in the core area of ​​Roja City's city center. Because the Morv family started from Roja City, this is considered the "ancestral home" of the Morv family.

Karun drove the hearse to the outside of the block and stopped.

Because the hearse was too big and too conspicuous, it was better to walk for the next section of the road.

The three got out of the car, and Puerh was still lying on Karun's shoulder, as if asleep.

"Such a big house," Karun sighed as he looked at the surrounding walls.

With such a big wall and yard, if this were his own home, he could easily take four or five orders a day without worrying about not having enough space.

Perhaps due to his professional habits in this life, Karun's first reaction upon seeing the large courtyard was that it would be a pity not to hold a funeral here.

Just then, a black "Cayman" car drove over, and Alfred stepped forward and stopped the car.

There was only one young driver in the car, who was about the same age as Karun. He seemed to have been drinking and even had traces of something he shouldn't have touched on his face.

The young man pointed at Alfred and laughed, "If you block my car again next time, I'll knock you over."

Alfred smiled and nodded, "Okay, next time."

Then, Alfred's eyes began to turn red, and his demon eyes began to take effect. The young man's eyes also began to turn red and then became somewhat dull.

Alfred opened the car door and made a "please" gesture, "Master, young master, please get in the car. We're lucky today. This is Mr. Morv's youngest son, a playboy whom I happen to know. Using his car will make it more comfortable to enter the estate. I'm not worried about the guards and male servants here, but this place is really too big, and I'm afraid it will tire the master and young master's feet."

Dis looked at Alfred.

Alfred seemed to have thought of something and immediately bent down to Dis, spreading his hands at the same time.

Dis took out a black envelope and placed it in Alfred's hand.This is a "permit order" given by the judge to the demon he keeps, which means that the domesticated demon is "legally" doing things, making the process just.

If this matter becomes bigger in the future and other church personnel participate in the investigation and find Alfred involved, this "permit order" can allow Alfred to push everything onto the Order of the Gods.

However, firstly, Alfred has just entered the domesticated state from the wild state and is still unfamiliar with the process;

Secondly, the fact that the young master of the Morv family drove back home was unexpected, and stopping the car was just a momentary choice, so he forgot the process.

Fortunately, the process can be remedied.

After all, Dis is the judge of Roja City, who holds the power to explain the order at this moment. Alfred's use of the demon's eye on ordinary people can be certified by Dis's consciousness.

Karen and his grandfather sat in the back seat, Alfred sat in the co-pilot, and the Morv young master began to drive.

"You're back, sir. Are these your friends?"

"Get out of the way."

"Yes, sir."

The guards at the door stepped back and opened the door.

The car drove in and stopped in front of a building.

"You're back, sir."

"Where's my father?"

"The old master is in the study on the second floor."

"Okay, you can go now."

"Sir, do you need me to entertain your friends?"

"Get out of here. I'll entertain my friends myself!"

"Yes, sir."

After driving away the others, the Morv young master led Karen and others upstairs.

In fact, there were not many servants inside, making it very quiet.

When they reached the door of the study, Alfred patted the Morv young master's shoulder, and the Morv young master leaned against the wall and sat down, falling asleep.

Then, Alfred opened the door of the study.

The study was spacious, so spacious that it was a bit unusual. Mr. Morv, who was seen during the day, was now wearing pajamas and sitting behind the desk, holding documents and reading.

Seeing a stranger coming in, Mr. Morv didn't scream in fear, but took off the lenses on his nose, stood up, and opened his arms:

"Oh, friend, is there something you need from me?"

Dis walked up to him,

took out a paper with the seal of the judge of the Order of the Gods on it:

"Someone has accused you of violating the order and using demons to do things for yourself. Now, according to the Order of the Gods' "Order Regulations," we will question you."

Karen stood aside and felt that Dis's behavior of giving himself a "search warrant" stamp was really comfortable.

"The Order of the Gods?"

A woman's voice came from under the desk, and then a woman in a cool dance dress stood up from beside Mr. Morv. Her tongue was very long, dragging out two inches, and it took her a while to retract it back into her mouth, like a snake's tongue.

The woman walked around the desk and bowed to Dis:

"Respected Judge, Renie, a follower of the Mills Church, greets you."

Alfred leaned over and explained to Karen:"An early religion that originated from an island, with the first believers being the island's prostitutes. They imagined a god who was the lover of the sea god and would protect these poor women.

It was not influential, with few believers and little power. It practically did not exist in Rulan.

One could only say that Mr. Morv was very good at playing the game."

"Is she human?" Karun asked.

"She's human." Alfred replied, "Certain specific beliefs can cause changes in a person's body."

"Like Lady Molly?"

"In strict terms, Lady Molly is no longer considered human."

Renee pointed and laughed at Mr. Morv, saying:

"Your Honor, Mr. Morv is my lover and my master whom I serve.

I know he would never associate with those evil monsters. Please investigate the charges carefully and do not falsely accuse a kind and charitable businessman."

Dis looked at Mr. Morv, but before he could speak, Mr. Morv spoke first:

"You look familiar. Are you the priest from earlier today?

From the Order of the Gods?

I know the Order of the Gods. It is a great church.

Father... no, Your Honor;

I swear to you that I have never violated the rules of the Order of the Gods."

Karun asked, "How did the Sisso family of four die?"

Mr. Morv asked, "Who is the Sisso family?"

But soon, he seemed to realize:

"Oh, you mean the family of four at today's funeral. They were the Sisso family."

Karun smiled slightly.

He believed that Mr. Morv was not pretending. He really did not know who the Sisso family was, even though he had just attended their funeral earlier that day.

To him, whether it was the Sisso family, the Rote family, or any other family, it made no difference.

He had only attended a funeral that could ignite the wave of opposition against the old mayor. Even if it was a swine lying in the coffin, he would mourn deeply.

Karun began to walk towards Mr. Morv,

and Mr. Morv quickly realized that he was a shrewd businessman:

"Your Honor, are you here to investigate the cause of the Sisso family's death? I went to mourn at the scene because I pitied them for their unfortunate death. I really sympathize with this family."

We are "pawread.com", find us on google.

"Sympathize?"

Karun continued to walk towards Mr. Morv.

"Yes, I sympathize with them. What a poor and innocent family they were. Their deaths were not normal. I once heard that Mr. Humil, the editor-in-chief, and Mr. Oka had conspired to choose a family as a sacrifice for their protest parade.

Unfortunately, I am just a businessman and a coward. I dare not interfere with them, nor do I dare report or resist them.

So I could only attend the funeral of that poor family today, to ease my conscience;

May this poor family rest in peace in heaven.""Also, I swear that I have no connection to the death of this family, and I have never seen any demons. The only strange thing around me is the woman I love, Renee, whom I met at the Vienna Ball. She is not a demon, but a follower of the Mills religion."

Mr. Morph looked at Renee affectionately and said, "I can guarantee that."

Karen continued to walk towards Mr. Morph. When he passed by Renee, she reached out and stopped him, saying to Dis, who was standing behind Karen, "Lord Judge, I know that the Order of the Gods has the right to judge and eliminate social demons, but my lover has not violated this order, so the Order of the Gods has no right to do anything excessive to my lover."

"For murder cases, you can choose to report to the police and leave secular matters to be handled by the secular world. In addition, I respect the authority of the Order of the Gods, but I really didn't expect that a murder case without obvious demonic means could make you, Lord Judge, break into the home of a local philanthropist so late at night. As far as I know, other judges of the Order of the Gods in other areas are not as responsible and meticulous as you are. I admire your dedication, so I will jointly send a commendation letter to the Rulan District of the Order of the Gods with my membership chairman to praise your responsibility."

The membership chairman is usually the title given to the person who introduced oneself to the church. Under normal circumstances, their status in the church will be one level higher than oneself.

Karen turned around and looked at Dis, who was standing behind him expressionlessly.

Grandpa, did you hear that? She is threatening you, saying that she will complain to the church through official channels.

Dis remained unresponsive.

Karen then continued to look at Mr. Morph behind the desk and said, "You are really smart. Even when facing a church world that you are not familiar with, you still show the decisiveness and accurate judgment of an excellent businessman. Wealth can lift people up and make them look far-sighted, but after reaching a certain height, they will feel that they are no longer human."

"Who is the Sisso family? Oh my god, this sincere question really makes people uncomfortable."

Then, Karen continued to walk towards Mr. Morph. Renee's hand was still blocking him, and his chest touched Renee's hand.

Then, "Ah!"

"Thump..."

Karen's upper body leaned back, and his legs leaned forward. He fell to the ground and let out a cry of pain.

This scene stunned Renee. She didn't use any force just now, because the handsome young man in front of her was just an ordinary person. What really scared her was the old man in black robe and the middle-aged man with strange charm in his eyes.

Dis looked at Renee and said in a deep voice, "Using the power of the church faith to harm ordinary people violates Article 5 of Chapter 2 of the Order of the Church."

"I... Ah!!!"

Renee, who had not reacted yet, only had time to let out a scream. One of her arms had already separated from her body and fell to the ground. She couldn't believe what she was seeing.

"No, no, no!"This sudden scene completely caught Mr. Morf off guard, who had previously maintained his demeanor as a businessman. He subconsciously reached for the revolver in the desk drawer.

But Dis was faster than him.

"Using demonic creatures to harm ordinary people violates Chapter 1 of Order Church's Order Regulations."

Dis stretched out his hand.

And the next moment,

Mr. Morf was lifted up by an invisible force, flew over the desk, and smashed onto the floor of the study.

"You can't do this, you can't do this. My surname is Morf, and my family has a presence in Roja City..."

"Where are we now? Whose home is this?"

At this moment, Karun, who had already stood up, dusted off the nonexistent dust on his suit and looked at the clean floor of the study.

Then he took out the Morf gold-framed cigarettes from his pocket, took one out, bit it, lowered his head, and looked at Mr. Morf lying on the ground in horror.

He asked in confusion, "Who is the Morf family?"
