"Heh."
Karun, who had just woken up, listened to Puerh's account of last night's events and finally learned about all the things his cat and dog had done.
Holding the letter in his hand, Karun said, "Is this a secret meeting of the remnants of the Bright Church?"
Puerh analyzed, "So the previous homeowner must have been a believer of the Bright Church. He must have attended many secret meetings before, but because he moved, we received the notice for the next meeting."
Karun shook his head, "Too coincidental, I don't believe it."
"But perhaps it really is just a coincidence," Puerh wagged her tail.
"If he moved, why didn't he report his new address? The Bright Church is different from the Wall Church. The Wall Church is only a target of the Order Church, but the Bright Church is a common target of the entire church circle nowadays. If he moved, the letter would have been delivered to the second homeowner. How could such a crude system survive?"
"If it weren't for the stupid dog's barking successfully luring the crow, we wouldn't have received this notification letter. The crow itself has the ability to distinguish the recipient. In fact, it watched you outside the window for a long time last night, and it was already prepared to leave without delivering the letter. Most importantly, the original homeowner may not know how to report from bottom to top."
Even after hearing Puerh's explanation, Karun was still not convinced. He was a very cautious person.
"Bark! Bark! Bark!"
"What did it say?"
"It said that the original homeowner may only be a peripheral believer, at most a servant of the gods. The mobility of these peripheral believers is very high because they do not belong to the core. And now the remnants of the Order Church can only preach secretly, so the size of the core is naturally smaller."
"And I think the original homeowner went to the estate in the colony with his son, probably to spread the Bright Church there again, because the colony is not within the coverage area of the orthodox church, although they have their own primitive beliefs, but they are easier to infiltrate and are monitored less."

Karun shook the letter in his hand and silently looked up at the ceiling.
"What are you looking at, Karun?"
"I'm looking to see if anyone is watching us."
"I think things can be simplified, such as the fact that the developer of this apartment complex is the Allen Consortium."
"Maybe, I have a persecution complex."
"Bark! Bark! Bark!"
"What did it say this time?"
"It said that your worries are not unfounded. So, what are you going to do with this letter? Are you going to attend the secret meeting of the Bright Church?"
Karun threw the letter aside and said, "Only a fool would go."
After that, Karun got up and went to wash up. After he left the bedroom, Puerh immediately lowered her voice and scolded the Golden Retriever, "Did you just suggest sending Alfred to kill the Aleye family to determine if it was a coincidence or a setup?"
The Golden Retriever looked at Puerh and pinned his ears back.
"I didn't translate for you this time because I think what you said was really stupid. Can't you learn from Alfred, the radio monster, and follow his taste?"
The Golden Retriever whimpered twice and returned to his doghouse.
"But anyway, we don't have anything else to do at home right now, so we can observe our surroundings."
The Golden Retriever immediately became interested and stood up again."But the focus is not on the Aleye family. Let's observe the neighbors in this apartment building and some interesting people nearby. At least we should first sort out what's happening at our doorstep. What do you think?"
"Woof! Woof!"
Puerh heard this and her whiskers twitched slightly.
"You mean there's another possibility, that different people's physique will attract different things? Because he's Karun, some things will actively approach him in the form of coincidences?"
"Oh my god, I guess Karun definitely won't like this explanation. He won't like the physique that attracts trouble."
"Woof! Woof!"
"You mean that people are summoning gods, and the gods selectively respond to some summoning?"
"Woof!" The Golden Retriever nodded excitedly.
"That's a good point, it's on par with the Radio Monster's level."
...
After washing up, Karun changed into a slightly more serious outfit and used a comb to tidy up his hair in front of the mirror. However, despite this, because his body was too handsome, even with more serious elements added, he still gave people a slightly frivolous feeling.
When he went downstairs, he happened to see Alfred talking to Hand and then closing the door.
"Master, Zhennan has brought us breakfast."
"Okay."
The breakfast that was delivered was very rich, but there were only two portions, obviously in the eyes of normal people, cats and dogs were not counted as portions for humans.
Two chicken rolls, two corn cakes, and a large bottle of hot milk.
After taking a bite of the chicken roll, Karun was somewhat surprised and said, "The sauce is very good."
"If it can receive the Master's praise, then it must be of excellent quality." Alfred did not take the chicken roll but picked up a corn cake, because he knew that his young master did not like things with a corn flavor.
Karun ate both chicken rolls alone and drank a large glass of milk.
Alfred cooperated with the young master's eating rhythm. When the young master drank the last sip of milk, he also put the last piece of corn cake in his mouth and asked, "Where are you going, young master?"
With this outfit, he must be going out.
"I saw an opening advertisement for a psychological clinic in the newspaper yesterday."
"Is the young master planning to guide the lost souls?"
"The clinic owner is Piajia."
"Oh, a poor soul who is willing to pay a reasonable price."
"I think I can find a job there. Only Piajia won't care about my qualifications."
"Okay, I'll go borrow a car from Aleye."
"Doesn't he need it?" Karun asked.
"He's taking Hand to the hospital in Sangu City to check his ears today. The whole family is taking the train and may not be back until tomorrow. His previous savings seem to have been spent on the medical expenses of his son. Now, every time he completes a commission, he uses the commission to take his son to see a doctor again."
"Okay."
Alfred borrowed a car from Aleye and Karun got in.
Aleye walked over and said to Alfred, "There's a gas card from the Mandal gas station in the drawer. If there's not enough gas, you can go there to fill up.
"Good morning, Master Karun. Have a safe journey."
"You too."
The location of the Adams Psychological Clinic was in the center of the city, and unfortunately, Karun experienced rush hour traffic.Once the car window was opened, there were various choking exhaust fumes. Many drivers would smoke and wait anxiously at this time, perhaps the smell of cigarettes could dispel the exhaust fumes.
Karun closed the car window and silently leaned his forehead against it.
You couldn't see this scene in Roja City, because Roja City was more like a leisurely small town, but York City was already not much different from the metropolises of the future.
"Young master, next time you go to work, I'll drive you to the station first, and then accompany you on the tram."
Karun nodded.
"If it weren't for Aleye taking the child to see a doctor, he would have taken me to the used car market today to buy a car. Young master, you need to approve a budget. Ten thousand Rael should be enough to buy a car similar to Aleye's. Actually, there are cheaper ones, but they're not as comfortable to ride in."
Karun nodded again.
"Thank you, young master."
It should be noted that Alfred was the one who drove the limited edition Suntland in Roja City.
The traffic gradually recovered. When Karun arrived at his destination, he was twenty minutes late, even though he had left at 8:30 in the morning. The traffic was really terrible.
In the Markley language, "York" not only meant busy, but also congestion, so York City was also known as "Congestion City."
Fortunately, a car came out of the white line on the side of the road, and Alfred quickly parked the car in the parking space, otherwise they would have to find an underground parking lot or go around to find a roadside parking space.
After getting out of the car, Karun moved his neck a bit.
He was now standing under the "St. Torre Building," and Piajie's clinic was in the building.
But when Karun turned around and looked at the busy building across the street, his gaze slightly condensed.
"The Curtis Building."
"Young master, the Curtis Building is an old landmark building in York City. Many movies have been filmed here." Alfred introduced, "Oh, what a coincidence?"
During the traffic jam, Karun told Alfred about last night's events.
"Young master, do you want me to investigate the building?"
"No need, just pretend you didn't see it."
Karun had no reason to get involved with the remnants of the Bright Church now. Although he had Rasmar's guarantee that he could restore communication and contact with his family, it did not mean that his identity could really see the light.
"Let's go to the clinic first. I'm afraid they'll be off for lunch later."
Karun led Alfred into the St. Torre Building. Piajie's clinic was on the 21st floor. After entering the elevator, Karun stood in the corner and Alfred helped him create some space.
The elevator stopped and started several times.
Thinking back to the scene of the traffic jam on the road, Karun regained the feeling of the period before he started his business in his previous life.
This feeling was like a fish forced to swim continuously underwater without gills.
A small number of fish mastered a certain way of artistic expression and could bring other fish to the surface to breathe some fresh air.
That's why many classic works of art were created when the artists were poor and ordinary, because they had forgotten the feeling of suffocation underwater after being on land for too long.
"Ding..."
They arrived at the 21st floor.
Alfred helped Karun squeeze past the people in front and led him out of the elevator.There were two young women in professional attire at the clinic reception desk.
"Hello, sir, do you have an appointment?"
Karun answered, "Please help me contact Mr. Adams. I am here to deliver something from his father. My name is Karun."
A well-intentioned lie can sometimes save a lot of trouble, such as the usual responses of "I'm sorry, sir, you can't come in without an appointment" or "I'm a friend of Piage, let him come out and see me."
"Okay, sir."
The receptionist dialed the phone and soon smiled at Karun. "Our boss is in a meeting. Miss Basha hopes you can wait in the office for a while. I'll take you in."
Led by the receptionist, Karun and Alfred entered the clinic. It was quiet inside, but one could see the "busy" atmosphere. There were many doctors and "customers" waiting in line.
The boss's office was at the very back, with a secretary's desk at the entrance.
"Hello, are you Mr. Karun? Please come in."
The secretary opened the door to the office. Karun went in, while Alfred stayed outside.
"Please sit down. Would you like coffee or tea?"
"Ice water."
"Okay, I'll bring it to you right away."
There were floor-to-ceiling windows on both sides of the office. Standing here, the view was great. Karun couldn't help but walk to the window to admire it.
He used to have his own clinic, but it was not as large as Piage's, and he did not have such a luxurious office.
At this moment, the office door opened.
"Hello, Mr. Karun, here is your ice water."
It was a different female voice. Karun turned around and looked at the woman who came in. She was wearing a black uniform, her hair was very soft, and she looked very natural.
Most importantly, she looked very much like Linda.
At this point, she handed the water to Karun and smiled, "Hello, Mr. Karun, my name is Basha, Mr. Adams's personal assistant."
Karun took the ice water and looked at Basha, unable to help but smile.
"May I ask what you're laughing at?"
Karun shook his head.
In his heart, he could only sigh: Piage, you're really something, even dressing up in your own clinic.
"I'll hang up your coat for you." Basha walked behind Karun and helped him take off his coat.
Karun had to raise his hand because he was holding a cup of water. But during the process of taking off his clothes, Karun was surprised to find that when Basha was unbuttoning his shirt, her fingertips deliberately rotated a few times at the position of his chest.
Karun was certain that it was intentional.
Then, a deep and uncomfortable chill spread through his heart.
Piage, it seems like you've gone too far.
When he took off his sleeves, Karun handed the cup from his left hand to his right hand and finally took off his clothes.
Basha hung up the coat and said, "Please sit down."
Karun sat down on the sofa.
Basha naturally sat down next to Karun and folded her legs, wearing black stockings under her uniform skirt.
"Can you tell me why the old man sent you to find the boss?"
"Sorry, I can't."
"It's okay. You're really too polite."
Basha changed the position of her legs again.
Karun looked away. When he was doing foot massage for Unis at the Allen Manor, he felt warmth and comfort, but now, he instinctively felt repulsed by this pair of legs, even... a little nauseous.He hoped that Basha would hurry up and leave, ask the boss again, and then quickly change his appearance. Just then, Piajie walked in, hugged him normally, had a conversation, and finally asked him to stay here to work.
So, Karun urged, "Could you please ask Mr. Adams again? My matter is very urgent."
"Boss is now in a very important meeting, discussing development plans with investors, but it should be over soon. Also, Mr. Karun, do you hate me?"
"No, I'm just a bit shy and introverted, not good at communicating with young women, especially beautiful ones like you."
"No, it's not that. I also have a background in psychology. Your micro-expressions tell me that you are deeply repulsed by me. Can you tell me why? Did I do something wrong that caused your aversion?"
Basha stood up and stood in front of Karun. She didn't habitually pull down her uniform skirt that had risen up due to sitting, but instead opened her arms generously and bent down.
Not only did the black pattern at the root of the stockings under the uniform skirt show, even the cleavage was fully exposed.
Karun wanted to wash his eyes.
"Oh my god, Piajie, are you starting to wear padded bras?"
"Or... Miss Basha really asked seriously as if ignoring gender boundaries, "Are you not interested in women?"
As she spoke, she actively leaned towards Karun and slowly moved her hands up his knees, as if to prove her observation, with a strong teasing meaning.
Karun sighed.
Split personality is definitely not something that sounds cool. In fact, its harm can be very serious.
Because once the personality splits, it will not become your pet, at your beck and call.
From the moment it appears, it will start to grow and enrich itself like a "baby".
Don't think that after losing your wife, splitting another wife personality out of yourself is a beautiful love story, because your wife's personality will gradually enrich and develop.
You may even quarrel and break up because of this, and even your wife may cheat...
Of course, she will still use your body to cheat.
Originally, Karun thought that Piajie, as a professional, could control himself to a certain extent, but now he felt that Piajie seemed lost.
As a friend, he felt it was necessary to wake him up, or really do as Alfred said after breakfast, "Oh, a poor person willing to pay a reasonable price."
It seems that he will earn diagnostic fees from Piajie again.
Karun reached out and grabbed Basha's wrist.
Basha was pulled so close that she almost stumbled in front of Karun.
Karun looked at her seriously and said sternly,
"Listen, I hope you can sober up now, and I hope you know what you are doing. I believe the real you will regret some of your words and actions just now.
So, now, please regain your sanity immediately, and then I can help you with a systematic treatment!""Mr. Karun, do you have a tendency towards violence? Do you enjoy doing extreme violent things alone?" It seemed like Basha had figured out Karun's preference and she smiled like a scholar. "But you are really handsome, and I couldn't resist wanting to get close to you when I first saw you. I promise you, I am willing to call myself out to treat you, and I will help you with the treatment. We can mutually treat each other, okay?"
At this moment, there was a knock on the office door.
Karun let go of Basha's hand, and she quickly stood up and tidied her skirt and collar.
The door was pushed open, and Piage himself walked in!
He saw Karun sitting on the sofa, and immediately opened his arms and walked towards him excitedly, "Karun, I was wondering if it was a namesake when I heard the secretary's report just now. I didn't expect it to be you, hahaha, my good friend, it's great to see you here!"
Piage hugged Karun directly, and then introduced him to Basha with a smile, "This is Basha, my personal assistant."
Basha showed a professional and polite smile.
Piage patted Karun's arm and said, "What do you think? I was also startled when I first interviewed her. She looks so much like Linda, doesn't she?"
"..." Karun.
