Karun reached out to support the stretcher, and Mandira lay back down.

To some extent, she was indeed very obedient and compliant...

No.

She didn't even need to be told what to do, she just knew.

The second corpse was pushed down, and Karun lifted the white cloth to reveal the magician from last night.

They were dead, Karun knew; Mandira had died a long time ago, and the magician had drowned last night.

But the question was, why did they become beneficiaries of the Yinmerlees family?

You see, in Roja City, only deceased locals who have proof of residency and no relatives can enjoy the benefits of welfare.

These two were obviously from out of town.

Uncle Mason walked over, panting into his palms, and said:

"What a pitiful couple, they chose to commit suicide by jumping into the river in the dead of winter."

"Suicide?"

"Yes, they drowned and were washed ashore by a river in the suburbs. When they were found, they were still tied together with a rope."

"Uncle, what I mean is, is it certain that they committed suicide for love? Did the police have any other explanation?"

"The police arrived before us and found a suicide note on them, so they directly confirmed it as a suicide for love and called us to handle it as welfare. The person who found their bodies was an old merchant who lived nearby. He was kind-hearted, but perhaps also afraid of bad luck, so he volunteered to donate some money for their funeral and burial, and it became welfare."

"I see." Karun responded casually.

It should be the circus people who arranged it simply to dispose of the bodies, and the police didn't plan to investigate it seriously to save trouble.

Mason pushed Mandira, and Ron pushed the magician, and the two of them sent the guests to the basement together.

Karun picked up the phone in the living room on the first floor, ready to call Alfred.

Before he could dial, Alfred's figure had already appeared at the door, pushing open the courtyard gate and walking in.

"Young master, I went back late last night, so I woke up later this morning."

Karun put down the phone and asked, "Coffee, tea, or ice water?"

"Coffee." Alfred was a little flattered.

Karun nodded, "I'll have ice water."

"Um... okay, young master."

Alfred went to the second floor and brewed himself a cup of coffee, then brought Karun a glass of ice water. He walked to the third floor, where Karun was sitting on the windowsill, the same spot where Puerh liked to stay.

At this moment, Puerh was on Karun's lap, and its fur was slightly warm from the morning sun, feeling like a hot water bottle in his hands.

Puerh allowed Karun to stroke it because Karun said he was going to prepare a new dish for it.This cat had almost no resistance when facing the "fish dish". This pursuit and enjoyment of life style was almost imprinted on her soul.

"Young master, water."

Alfred placed the ice water in front of Karun.

Puerh reached out her paw to try and reach for the cup of coffee, but Alfred dodged.

"You and Dis went there last night, what happened?"

"He ran away."

"He ran away?"

"Yes."

"So many people, and he just ran away?"

"Huh?" Alfred just realized that he and the young master were talking about different things, and quickly asked, "Didn't Lord Dis tell you?"

"Grandfather went to the church early, I haven't had a chance to talk to him yet."

In fact, Karun could have called Alfred to ask about the situation, but he didn't dare to call the church:

"Hey, Dis, can you come back for a bit, I have something to ask you."

Are you crazy!

"Oh, no wonder. Young master, it's like this. Last night, I met a powerful existence from the Order of the Gods outside the circus tent while checking for suspicious people in a small tent.

He intentionally used a special voice to inform me that the person was here, so I went out to check."

"The time you said you had something to do and went out?"

"Yes, young master."

"How powerful is that person?"

"Very powerful."

Karun changed the way he asked, "How many of you would it take to defeat him?"

Alfred didn't think there was anything wrong with using himself as a unit of strength calculation, but rather felt it was quite honorable.

Imagine in the future, when believers observe murals, and see a great existence suppressing a demon or sealing a true god, there is an annotation next to it:

This demon is very powerful and terrifying, equivalent to ten thousand Alfreds.

Ah, how exciting that would be.

Moreover, don't those scientists also like to use their own names as aliases?

"Young master, it's hard for me to say how many of me it would take to defeat him specifically, because in my opinion, that person should belong to the same level as Lord Dis."

"Who is more powerful between Dis and him?"

"He is powerful, relative to me; and Lord Dis's power seems to be relative to everyone, no matter how strong you are, Lord Dis can always be a little stronger.

Last night, he asked me to dig out one of my eyeballs to make a pendant for him. When he saw that I was unwilling, he directly imprisoned me with the Order of the Gods' magic;

Fortunately, I had the identity certificate issued by Lord Dis on me, which made the other party stop.

He also explicitly stated in his words that he couldn't beat Lord Dis."

"He ran away?" Karun asked again."Yes, he ran away. He had already left before I returned to the circus tent for the second time because I had to deal with a body in the middle. He helped that woman, Chase, kill her husband, and was charged with disrespecting the Order of the Gods.

Oh, by the way, Young Master, last night in the audience, you said a phrase to the stage in a language that I didn't understand."

"Hmm?"

"I want to remind you that in the future, when you're outside, please exercise restraint unless absolutely necessary. If the person who left first last night hadn't left, he would have likely noticed your abnormality, and your true identity might have been discovered."

"I understand."

Karun nodded, not explaining that last night he had purely spoken out of empathy with Mandira's perspective and feelings. At that moment, he had resonated with her emotions and spoken the words "go die" out of hatred for the magician.

After the magician was drowned, Karun immediately regained his senses and chose not to investigate the circus further. Instead, he decisively chose to take Unis and the children home.

"As for the circus, when Dis and I went, we found that the circus had also run away."

"Run away?"

"Yes, except for some locals they employed who were still there packing up, the ringmaster and a group of circus elites left directly in a hurry.

I think it may have been the sudden rampage of the actress that scared them, and for safety reasons, they chose to hide first.

There may also be demons in that circus, as expected.

I will investigate this matter next, Young Master, please rest assured."

"Hmm."

At this time, Puerh spoke up, "Have you finished talking?"

No one spoke.

Puerh turned around, from lying face down on Karun's lap to lying face up, and waved her paws at Karun, "So, Lord Evil God, can we go play the fish scale scraping game now?"

"There's one more thing I need to ask you," Karun said to Puerh.

"Ask away." Puerh's tail was curled up on her belly, blocking her view. "You've already touched me for so long, and the sunk cost is so high, do I have a choice?"

Karun also looked at Alfred and said, "Because of some coincidences, the bodies of last night's performers, Mandira and the magician she drowned, are now lying in my basement."

Puerh tilted her head, "My Evil God, you've already said it's because of some coincidences, so what?"

"This time it's a bit different."

Karun picked up Puerh and walked towards the stairs, with Alfred following behind.

When they reached the first floor, Karun heard Aunt Mary arguing loudly with Mrs. Mark next door in the yard.This proves that no one is in the basement now, and there's no need to hurry with the welfare list, just do it perfunctorily.

Karun came to his aunt's workshop in the basement. Two bodies were now lying on the steel bed, and the white cloth had been removed long ago.

Puerh looked at the standard delicate smile on Mandira's face and couldn't help but tease, "This lady's smile really makes the cat uncomfortable."

Karun said, "I can make her sit up."

Upon hearing this, Puerh and Alfred, one cat and one person, looked at Karun together, "Young master, you can really do it."

"Yes, we knew it already."

Although Karun had not been purified and theoretically had no training, he had the ability to trigger the spiritual power inside the body of a corpse, similar to the "awakening" of the judges of the Order of the Gods, or the beggar version of "awakening".

This is also one of the reasons why Puerh and Alfred firmly believe that Karun is an evil god.

"No, this time is different."

Karun walked up to Mandira, looked at her face, and the scene of himself being imprisoned in a water tank last night began to appear in his mind.

Then, a feeling of despair and anger began to surge in his heart, but perhaps because he had experienced it many times or because Alfred and Puerh were by his side, the dizziness was not as strong as before, and Karun was able to stand firmly on his own.

In the depths of his mind, it seemed that a bridge had been built.

"Get up."

Karun spoke.

Mandira sat up from the steel bed.

"Wow, amazing." Puerh exclaimed politely.

"It's simply a miracle!" Alfred was a bit cheesy.

But then, Mandira got off the bed and stood in front of everyone.

Then, she started jumping in place, and after a series of jumping movements, her arms began to lift and lower, and she started doing jumping jacks.

"Meow..." Puerh realized that something was wrong.

"Uh..." Alfred also noticed.

After a series of jumping jacks, Mandira walked to the corner of the workshop, picked up a broom, and began sweeping the floor.

Puerh widened her cat eyes, "This is a mature corpse that even knows how to clean her own room."

At this moment, Alfred's eyes began to turn red, and the power of the succubus's eyes was used.

"Young master, this lady has many dense runes on her body, and her corpse has been sacrificed."

"That's a formation." Puerh said, "It's a formation that can enhance the flexibility and controllability of the corpse. It's like the stupid Golden Retriever at home has already been trained by the previous owner to understand commands like shaking hands and lying down. So even if the owner changes, they can still use these commands to order it to make corresponding movements."

At this time, Mandira swept the dust into a dustpan, put things away, and then lay back on the steel bed.

Karun closed his eyes, blinked hard, and finally came back to his senses.Earlier, he was the one manipulating Mandira.

Without words, he seemed to be able to share her perspective and make corresponding actions according to his own will.

"She is often used by the circus for performances."

The show is called "Surviving Underwater" because she is already dead and cannot drown again.

"Sir, this is not a system I am familiar with." Alfred apologized, "Lady Molly is the most primitive form of devouring and stitching, and I myself have more spiritual abilities."

"You wouldn't understand, you're not a seducing demon." Puerh said in a slightly mocking tone, "This is the seducing demon's formation route. No, I speculate that it may only rely on instinct to try to refine her, making her easier to control. In fact, it may not even understand what the formation is, just like a spider that weaves a web but doesn't understand geometry."

"Now the problem is..."

Puerh jumped out of Karun's arms and landed on the steel bed where Mandira was, to be exact, standing on her chest.

"Oh, it's hard and lumpy."

Karun took a deep breath.

"Don't be anxious, I just want to liven up the atmosphere." Puerh continued to look at Mandira and said, "The problem now is that the seducing demon left the formation route through refining, that is, it soaked this body with its 'saliva' and obtained control over this body. But what about you, Young Master of the Evil God? Did you kill the seducing demon and take control of her?"

Puerh turned his gaze to Alfred. If someone killed the seducing demon, it must be Alfred who helped Karun.

Alfred shook his head, indicating that it had nothing to do with him.

Karun replied: "When I was watching the performance, I heard her calling my name. She told me her name and told me she was cold. Even my consciousness seemed to enter her body and sense her emotions. Then, I found that I seemed to have the ability to command her."

Upon hearing this, Puerh started walking back and forth, taking cat-like steps. After a while, it stopped and said seriously:

"Karun, you should indeed go to Vienna."

"Are you trying to liven up the atmosphere again?"

Puerh shook his head and said seriously, "I even think that even if your identity may bring disaster to my family, or if my family members now have nothing but stinky fish in their heads and will flush themselves down the toilet... I still believe that you should go to Vienna. I know that Dis gave you two choices, one is to stay in this house and cut off the ties with the church according to Dis's will. The other is to go to Vienna, leave Dis's sight, and gain your own freedom. You should go, Karun; no, you must go!"

Puerh jumped up and Karun caught it in his hand.Its two claws hung on Karun's chest, the cat face close to Karun's face.

"The religious belief system is like solving a problem. The smarter the person, the faster they solve it. Like Dis, I watched him grow up, but even I didn't expect him to solve the problem silently to such a high level. And you..."

Alfred interrupted, "Great existence must be a great genius."

"You shut up!" Puerh interrupted Alfred without hesitation, and continued to look at Karun, saying with emphasis, "And you, Karun, you are not a genius! You are not...you are not a genius, you have nothing to do with geniuses!"

"I can accept the fact that I am not a genius, but you don't have to be so serious just to tell me this, do you?"

"Hehehe...meow meow meow..." Puerh laughed like a cat.

"What kind of genius are you? Geniuses solve problems quickly. You don't even understand problem-solving because you haven't been purified, which means you haven't learned it at all. But geniuses need to contemplate difficult problems, while you just need to pick up the test paper and say, 'Hello, how are you?' Then, you don't need to bring cheat sheets or copy, because the questions will obediently write out the answers by themselves!!!"

Alfred listened to this with fascination and exclaimed, "So this is the true meaning of greatness. I have always understood it superficially."

Puerh gently touched Karun's chin with her paw and said in a charming tone, "Therefore, you should complete your purification ritual in the most perfect way, without any regrets or even the slightest flaw. Otherwise, it would be a blasphemy against your talent!"

"Oh, okay." Karun knew that the purification ritual required the assistance of a holy artifact. After purification, he could become a servant of the gods and officially enter the door.

"Do you know where the best holy artifact in the whole of Rui Lan is?"

"I don't know."

Puerh smiled and patted her neck with her paw, "It's right in front of you, it's me, Miss Puerh."

"You are...a holy artifact?"

"That's why I can live so long. I am now a cat, and the lifespan of a cat is much shorter than that of a human. I am not a turtle."

"So, do you mean you are willing to help me complete the purification?"

"I have to wait until we reach Wayne, because Dis said that if I dare to help you purify in Rui Lan, he will purify me."

"Why?" Karun asked, "I don't think it's just because you want to eat fish."

"I have always cherished geniuses. Dis was able to grow so outstandingly under my care."

"I don't believe it.""Well... then I hope you can help me in the future and turn me back into a human," Puerh said.

"Can't Dis do it?" Karun asked.

"He can only do half of it, he can turn me into... a dead person. I might as well continue being a cat and eating cat food, don't you think?" Puerh replied.

"Is there any other reason?" Puerh jumped onto Karun's shoulder and adjusted herself to sit elegantly, saying, "Um, can't cats also appear in murals?"
