Chapter 119

Miss Basha looked at Karun seriously, and she almost believed what he said because his reasons were so detailed.

Karun looked at Basha calmly. In fact, he just changed the title of what Basha said to him and repeated it to her.

"Thank you for your honesty, Mr. Karun," Basha smiled.

"I also want to thank you for your honesty." Karun picked up his ice water and took a sip. "I think honesty is the foundation of mutual trust. At least as colleagues, we can get along more comfortably in the next period of time."

Deception is a psychological game between two parties, and the ultimate goal of "lying" is not to make one's "lies" more meticulous and logical, but to make the other party willing and actively want to believe.

Obviously, Miss Basha came with this "established cognition," and in her words, she has already told you what she is willing to believe.

It's like wearing a sign on your forehead that says:

"Please deceive me as required!"

Karun felt that there must be some misunderstanding in this, such as Miss Basha's attitude towards him yesterday, which was actually because he mistook her for Piajie in disguise.

Of course, there is also a possibility that as a believer in the Light, she may be somewhat emotional. For example, she realized that he was "harmless" to her, and he did not have any hostility towards her. On this basis, even a "lie" is just a step for both parties to step down.

"I think nature is also a very beautiful thing."

As Miss Basha spoke, she stood up and took the initiative to walk to Karun, leaning her body towards him.

"The same symbolizes purity, the same equals cleanliness."

Miss Basha reached out and touched Karun's chest, her tongue sticking out, forming a tempting picture.

Her legs also moved forward, whispering, "The sound insulation here is very good, Mr. Karun, maybe you can give me some more in-depth treatment?"

Is it because she believes in the Berry Church?

Karun knew that one reason why the Berry Church had a bad reputation was that many of its followers had done many "vulgar" things in its name.

Is this also a kind of test?

If Miss Basha didn't look so much like Linda, Karun wouldn't mind cooperating a little for his own needs.

But the problem is, she looks too much like Linda, who is his friend's wife. Karun really finds it hard to do anything else with this face.

So Karun remembered his attitude towards Linda in Piajie's office yesterday and pushed Basha away abruptly.Bersha was a little confused and asked, "Mr. Karun, shouldn't you follow the instructions of nature?"

Karun nodded and said, "I have always followed the instructions of nature. I have also always opened my heart to embrace everything in nature, including my own nature."

"Then why..."

Bersha leaned in again, and under her collar, if you raised your head slightly, you could see more scenery;

But Karun still pushed her away without reservation.

"I follow the instructions of nature, and I never conceal the expression of my nature."

"Oh?"

Karun looked at Bersha and said, "I'm sorry, but you make me feel physically and mentally uncomfortable."

Karun spoke the truth, partly because some truths can be the best additives to lies, and partly because "nature" in the Berry Church itself has some characteristics of "minority" and "selfishness."

Bersha was stunned, and then she immediately withdrew her hand and straightened her collar, bowing sincerely to Karun, "I'm sorry, really sorry, my behavior was too offensive. Please forgive me?"

Karun shook his head and said, "It's okay."

But he was puzzled, did she misunderstand something again?

"Today's diagnosis is over, thank you very much for your consultation." Bersha said.

"You're welcome, but I hope to encounter some real patients in the future to realize my professional value."

"There will be, but it needs to be tomorrow. You can actually leave work now. I will help you pick from the case files and intercept other doctors' clients for you, because you enjoy the same level of treatment as the boss."

"Thank you."

"The one who should say thank you is me. I believe we will get along very well in the future. I also have a premonition that this opportunity will not only benefit the light but also make nature purer. So, the boss is really lucky to have both light and nature guarding him."

"Even without nature, I will still protect him because we are friends."

Bersha nodded and said, "Of course."

Miss Bersha walked out of the office, and at the moment she closed the door, she first looked at the boss's office, and the scene of the boss coming in yesterday and hugging Karun with a smile appeared in her mind, as well as the boss's care for Karun regardless of interests and his extremely sincere goodwill;

Oh, that's how it is.

Then, her gaze fell on Alfred, a handsome and exquisite personal butler sitting in the waiting room drinking coffee behind the glass window;

Oh, it's really like this.

Bersha took a deep breath and thought to herself, "Mr. Karun is indeed a pure believer of the Berry Church."

...Karun opened the notebook again and started writing and drawing on it.

First, he wrote down Piajie's name, then wrote down Bosha's name next to Piajie's, and circled Bosha's name while noting the Bright God Sect next to it.

What was the opportunity next to Piajie?

What kind of opportunity was it?

Also, she mentioned a photo in Piajie's office?

Karun fell into contemplation, but because most of his information came from Bosha's oral account, the clues were too one-sided, and he couldn't give himself a comprehensive analysis.

However, he didn't plan to dig deeper into this information. After all, the remnants of the Bright God Sect had no malice towards Piajie, and they even wanted to protect him.

Karun's creed was that he would deliberately avoid most troublesome points and would not get involved in any messy affairs out of curiosity without absolute benefits.

Of course, some troubles were unavoidable, but that was just a part of life, and it was a completely different concept from actively seeking them out.

Then, Karun tore off these pieces of paper and put them in his pocket.

His work for today was done, and he could go off work now.

Looking at the time, it seemed that it was just lunchtime, but according to Bosha, there was no work in the afternoon, and he could only wait for tomorrow's appointment.

Okay, then let's go off work.

Piajie wouldn't be touched because he sat in front of the clinic waiting for work before dawn, and he wouldn't be angry because Karun left early.

Karun hesitated for a moment after opening his own office door... the photo?

Suddenly, Karun thought of the interaction he had with his grandfather at home before, which was... the Inmoleis family, and doubts never lasted overnight.

So, why not just go and see the photo directly instead of guessing here?

Karun didn't go to the waiting room at the clinic to find Alfred, but turned and walked towards the boss's office.

"Mr. Karun?" The secretary at the door stood up to greet Karun. "The boss is inside."

"Okay."

Karun pushed the door directly, and the secretary was surprised and immediately walked around her desk to catch up. At this time, Karun had already walked into the office. Piajie was sitting behind the desk, talking on the phone. He smiled at Karun when he walked in, then raised his hand to signal the secretary to leave.

The secretary had to close the office door;

Piajie pointed to his headset, Karun nodded, and then walked to Piajie's side to start rummaging through his drawer.

Piajie looked at Karun with some doubts, and finally stood up, stepped aside to continue talking on the phone, and gave Karun some space to search.

One drawer, two drawers, Karun finally pulled out the drawer with the photo in it.

Taking out the photo, Karun flipped through it one by one. Piajie leaned over and watched Karun's actions while chatting on the phone.

Finally, Karun found the photo. The photo showed Mr. Bede, a young Linda, and Piajie at a coffee shop."This should be the photo."

"Okay, that's it. We look forward to further cooperation with you. Thank you."

"Click."

Piajia finally finished the call and hung up the phone.

But before Piajia could ask, Karun pointed directly at Mr. Bede in the photo and asked, "Do you know him?"

"Yes," Piajia answered, "I met him when I accompanied Linda to an art exhibition."

"And then?" Karun asked.

"What then?" Piajia laughed.

"I'm asking you. If you believe me, tell me the truth because you should know that I won't harm you."

"There has always been a voice in my heart telling me that I can wait for his appearance here and that he can guide me into the world that Linda longed for. It's like in my dreams. I always dream of the scene where we drank coffee together back then. I can also sense that there is a mysterious area and environment in their communication, which they both long for. But what my dream tells me is that he will walk up to me hysterically."

"Hysterically?"

Karun blinked.

"Yes, it's like he's been hit hard, but also like he's had a great realization."

"Okay, I see."

"Karun, so what are you going to do?"

"I care about you," Karun replied, "and do you have an obsession with him?"

"I don't know." Piajia shook his head. "Life is life, and dreams are dreams. I can distinguish between reality and dreams."

"That's good."

Karun sorted the photo and put it back in the drawer.

"Is that it?" Piajia asked.

"Work well, live well," Karun patted Piajia's shoulder. "Although I think the next sentence is cliché and often used in movies, I still want to say it: Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."

"Hehehe," Piajia couldn't help but laugh.

"Also, I want to add one more thing. Don't have curiosity about what you shouldn't have."

"Okay, I understand."

"If you have any dreams or indications, tell me immediately. I'll help you..."

"Help me interpret my dreams?"

"No, I'll help you with psychotherapy. Linda gave me a letter to take care of you. You know, Piajia, in this world, it's hard to find a friend who you can go to when you're short of money and not worry that they won't lend you any."

"Yes, I know. I'll listen to you and Linda."

"Okay."

Karun hugged Piajia and patted him on the back."Boss, this is a document from the 'Wein Military Academy Psychological Observation Association'..." Bertha pushed open the door and walked in, but upon seeing the scene in front of her, she immediately retreated.

"I think my personal secretary has misunderstood something."

"I think it's you who has caused the misunderstanding by hiring her as your personal secretary."

"I don't treat her like Linda, but seeing someone who looks like Linda in front of me is also a kind of pleasure. Why shouldn't I face my own inner joy?"

"Fine, do as you wish. I'm off now. The patient will have to wait until tomorrow," Bertha said.

"I have two meetings this afternoon that I can't miss, otherwise I would have come to your house. Also, have you considered changing your house? I asked around last night and the Blue Bridge community is really far from here."

"I just bought this house and haven't finished paying off the mortgage. I don't have the money to change."

Karen walked towards the office door as he spoke.

Piyaje chuckled, "Money is not a problem."

"Don't say disgusting things."

Karen turned his head to look at Piyaje and pointed at him with his finger.

"Alright, see you tomorrow."

Karen walked out of the office and Miss Bertha smiled at him again at the door. Karen nodded at her and went straight to the clinic door. Alfred immediately walked over from the reception room.

"Boss, are you going to have lunch?"

"No, I'm off now."

"You're off already? Hmm, it's really a good job."

"Go home. You didn't go to that pastry shop last night, did you?"

"No, because I had to take Hilly home last night."

"Then go this afternoon after you get home."

"Okay, young master."

"Thank you for your hard work."

"Oh my, young master, if going to a pastry shop for snacks is considered hard work for a man, then it's simply an insult."

"Well, you've been insulted."

"Okay, young master." Alfred smiled and pressed the elevator button.

Just then, the elevator door opened and a man walked out holding a boy's hand. He asked, "Excuse me, is this the Adam's Psychological Therapy Clinic on this floor?"

"Yes, just go inside," Karen replied.

"Thank you."

Karen entered the elevator and Alfred pressed the floor button. As the elevator descended, Alfred sighed, "I asked and apparently the tram isn't that crowded during lunchtime."

"That's nice." Karen nodded.

"If only the hearse was available at home, then when I send the young master to work in the morning, he could catch up on some sleep in the hearse," Alfred joked.

Karen also laughed, "Then we need to choose a comfortable and good coffin. A good coffin has really good shock absorption."Karun remembered the time when he was hospitalized after being stabbed, and Uncle Mason was the one who put him in a coffin and brought him back. It was actually quite comfortable lying inside.

Leaving the building, the two of them walked to the tram station where there was a group of people selling snacks, most of whom had purple hair.

"Young master, are you hungry? Do you want a pancake?" Alfred asked.

Karun looked at the tram coming from a distance and said, "No, it's not good to eat in the carriage."

"Oh, is that so?" Alfred silently noted it in his heart.

They bought tickets and boarded the train. The noon rush hour was not very busy, and Karun walked to the end of the train and found an empty seat. Alfred stood next to him.

"Would you like to sit?" There was an empty seat next to them.

"No, I've been sitting for a long time. I want to stand," Alfred said.

Karun nodded, and then he noticed that the people in front of him, behind him, and next to him were all eating food with heavy seasoning, especially a little girl who boarded the train later. She seemed to be alone and was holding a bag of potato chips with two large spoons of sauce, one of which was chili sauce and the other was tomato sauce.

She approached Karun and looked at the empty seat next to him. "Big brother, can I sit here?"

"Of course."

Karun moved his legs.

"Thank you, big brother."

The little girl sat down and continued to eat her potato chips.

Karun tried to slow down his breathing as much as possible.

"Would you like a chip too, big brother?" The little girl picked up a piece of potato chip with her hand, dipped it in tomato sauce, and handed it to Karun.

"I don't eat, thank you." Karun smiled and refused.

"Okay." The little girl continued to eat her own chips.

"Are you alone on the train? Where are your family members?" Karun asked. She looked like she was only seven or eight years old.

The security in York City was not very good, and it was not safe for such a young child to take the train alone.

"Oh, I just left my mother's house and now I'm going back to my father's house."

The little girl lowered her voice and said, "My stepfather gave me an extra 1,000 LER to come back early."

As she spoke, the little girl nudged her slightly bulging pocket with her elbow.

"From now on, don't tell strangers that you have money in your pocket, okay?" Karun reminded her.

"But big brother is not a bad person," the little girl said naturally.

Hmm, she was the second woman today who thought Karun was not a bad person.

"Why?"

Search tinyurl.com/2p9emv8w for the original.

"Because big brother looks so handsome, he can easily make money without doing bad things."

"Hehe." Karun laughed.

At the latest stop, two young people with purple hair boarded the train. After they got on, the passengers in front of them all showed a look of disdain.Alfred whispered, "Young master, their hair has just been dyed, and there are traces of dye on their necks and collars."

"Okay."

The tram continued to move.

Suddenly, the two "purple-haired" young men took out their guns and started shooting at the passengers.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Under the sound of gunfire, the injured passengers screamed, and the unaffected passengers screamed even louder.

The tram was long, and the shooting occurred at the front end, but one bullet hit the window next to Karun.

"Young master, duck!"

After shouting, Alfred immediately stepped forward, his eyes gradually turning red. He was going to control those two guys and eliminate the source of danger.

Karun immediately bent down and quickly chanted:

"Oh great and supreme God of order, the chain of order that judges everything; please listen to my sincere call, and bestow protection on your faithful, guarding my longing for order and my steadfast belief in order..."

When he got to this point in his chant, Karun looked at the little girl next to him, still holding a bag of potato chips, and directly hugged her into his arms, continuing:

"Order - Junior Sheltering Shadow Armor!"

Continuing on, he chanted:

"Oh great and supreme God of order...

Please listen...

Order - Junior Black Feathers Surrounding!"

For the sake of safety, he added:

"Oh great and supreme God of order...

Please listen...

Order - Junior Wall of Reflection!"

At this point, Alfred had already taken control of the two young men who were shooting, and they were standing there with a blank expression.

Alfred turned his head and looked at the position where the young master was, and saw that it was surrounded by a heavy layer of black feathers and walls.

Phew...

The young master was indeed the young master, always so decisive and meticulous!

Alfred was about to "manipulate" the two guys to face each other and shoot when a row of detonators suddenly slipped out of one of the young men's clothes. The fuse had already been lit, and at the moment it hit the ground, the burning fuse just went into the detonator.

"... " Alfred.

"Boom!!!"
