Chapter 149 – Judge, why do you judge?

Although the mask was a ring and was worn on his left ring finger, Karun still raised his hand and pretended to hold a mask, putting it on his face in front of the mirror. Then, he pretended to wear a mask on his face, reached out and took it off. Throughout the process, his face did not change, not even his eyes, but Karun felt an unusual sensation. It was like a non-existent door that he had just opened and closed. There was no significant change, but he could hear the creaking sound of the door hinge dragging on the ground. He silently stepped back a few steps and sat on the bed with pink sheets behind the dressing mirror, leaning forward slightly, staring at the mirror in front of him, lost in thought.

At this moment, a black chain slowly spread out from under Karun's feet, covering the walls of the bedroom and isolating everything outside. It was like it was waiting for Karun's contemplation.

The bedroom was suddenly quiet.

"Brother, come quickly."

Serena pulled her brother's arm and came upstairs. When she was about to enter her own bedroom, her figure was stopped by Lemar.

"What's wrong, brother?"

"Shh!"

Lemar made a "silence" gesture to his sister.

"He's contemplating. Don't disturb him."

"Contemplating?"

Serena looked at Karun, who was sitting on her bed, motionless in front of the dressing mirror, and sighed, "Men who are lost in thought are more attractive."

Lemar looked around and felt a sense of order in the bedroom. This meant that the person inside was contemplating. However, he did not expect that Karun could enter this state so quickly, just after getting the mask from someone else's house.

With a "click," Lemar's left eye seemed to turn over. His normal eyeball flipped down, and a blue iris appeared. He saw the order chains covering the walls of the bedroom. It was not magic because there was no magic aura. If it was magic, he wouldn't need the "Saxon Eye" to see it. So, how were these chains formed? It was like a projection... a soul projection?

"Serena."

"What's wrong, brother?"

"I think he might not be a servant of the gods.""But he was only using the primary defensive magic of the divine servant, he just used a bit too much at once."

"Just a bit too much..."

Lemar did not bother to explain the logic to his sister because he knew she didn't need it. Some people, even with clear logic, would still make the wrong choices, while others with no logic in their minds would always choose correctly.

"Brother, how long will this thinking state last?"

"Generally, the longer, the better, because it's rare, very rare."

"Oh, then you need to help protect him and not be disturbed."

"... "Lemar.

"Is the door of our store closed? Don't let customers come in later."

"It's closed."

"Oh, that's good." Serina patted her chest lightly. "Has brother ever been in this state?"

"Of course."

"But brother's time must not be as long as his."

"Uh..." Lemar.

"Even if brother's time is a little longer, the quality must not be as good as his."

Lemar couldn't help rolling his eyes.

He had heard that when his sister was looking for a boyfriend, she would subconsciously compare him to her brother. He had long been psychologically prepared for this and felt that he could accept it.

But what did it mean for his own sister to come up and shoot him full of holes?

...

Karun's thoughts continued. In the mirror in front of him, Mr. Pavaro's figure appeared, although Karun did not use his spiritual energy to stimulate the ring at this time.

In the mirror,

Mr. Pavaro was standing outside the bedroom of his two daughters, listening to their crying, with a sad expression;

But then,

Another scene appeared in the mirror, Mr. Pavaro directly pushing away the bag of blood spirit powder sent to him by the other party.

Immediately after,

The mirror showed Mr. Pavaro shouting with handcuffs on when he was arrested: "Praise the order!"

Finally,

The picture froze at the scene where he had just entered the underground of the sausage factory and saw the pigsty. Mr. Pavaro pushed away the helping hand and struggled to stand up, with a solemn expression, reciting the "Order Regulations."

Mr. Pavaro is truly loyal to the order, a real judge.

And he now has Mr. Pavaro's mask in his hand.

So when he puts on this mask, he can directly borrow Mr. Pavaro's "identity" and become a judge.Not a fake judge, but a real judge?

He was now a divine shepherd, and it seemed that this realm did not match that of a judge, although he had long been able to use the "awakening" that only judges could use.

But if they could match perfectly, it would be the best and more in line with this image and mask.

At this moment, a phantom judge's uniform appeared on Karun's left side. The uniform was black and exuded an ancient and solemn atmosphere.

Lemar's eyes narrowed and he said, "This is going to be an advanced judge!"

Serena completely ignored what she had said earlier about Karun being a divine servant and said directly, "Wow... impressive."

Lemar pursed his lips.

So he had been waiting for his identity to be in place, and his realm would just match it?

Many people worked hard all their lives and could not make any progress in their realm, but he seemed to be buying a good hat in a mall and then buying a whole set of clothes just to match it?

For a moment, Lemar didn't feel so heartbroken about the precious materials he had used to make the mask earlier.

He didn't like to flatter the strong, not because he was arrogant, but because he knew that in the eyes of the strong, your flattery would look cheap.

Therefore, the investment and favor released to Karun were of great value.

His sister had a really good eye.

It was a pity that he was already engaged.

...

At this point, the mask was no longer just a cover for Karun's appearance. Now, he could even use this opportunity to become a judge, not a position, but a realm, instead of Pavaro's successor.

In the depths of his heart, perhaps this was the true gift that Mr. Pavaro had given him, although he himself may not have known it.

But as Lemar said when he checked Mr. Pavaro's skin, he could feel that the owner of the skin was very peaceful when he provided the skin.

Karun once asked Puerh why he felt that his path of advancement was so difficult, but there were still so many powerful existences in the world.

At first, Puerh rolled her eyes at him and said mockingly, "Is it difficult for you to advance?"

After the ridicule, Puerh still understood what Karun was thinking and answered, "Because you chose the hardest path yourself."

If faith could be compared to a snow mountain, then all believers were eating the snow on the mountain. There was snow at the foot of the mountain and on the mountain road, although it was a little dirty, it was easy to obtain.

However, some people specifically wanted the snow on the top of the snow mountain, and they were willing to climb the mountain and even break the ice layer on top.Many people just eat whatever, while some pick up food from outside the mountain road to eat, because there's really no difference. For thousands of years, even across several epochs, everyone has been eating like this, not just the Order of the Gods.

But Karun had a grandfather who told him clearly that this kind of eating was wrong.

At this point, Karun sighed.

Instead of rushing to "get dressed," he looked back at the mirror in front of him.

In the mirror, Mr. Bede's figure appeared.

He and Mr. Bede were sitting on the sofa in the patriarch's bedroom at the Allen Manor, with Mr. Bede painting. He had told Karun that he would use a part of himself to get the key, and the rest of himself would follow the part that got the key into the studio to get the painting supplies.

So, Mr. Bede could create moving works of art while looking forward to the scene of the destruction of the family and going to Roja City to talk to Dis about cooperation.

It seemed that his future father-in-law's choice was more in line with this mask.

When he put on the mask, he was a judge of the Order of the Gods, believing in order and having the conduct and image that a judge should have.

When he took off the mask, he was Karun.

He split himself up, with each part of himself doing the corresponding task.

Thinking of this...

A virtual image of a judge's uniform also appeared on Karun's right side, also black, but it looked a bit lighter, without the heavy and ancient atmosphere.

"Brother, why are there two of them?"

Lemar blinked, somewhat incredulous, "He... is choosing."

"Oh, it turns out that the faith system of the church is so good that it lets you choose when you advance. I think the one on the right looks better and will make you look younger when you wear it."

"Uh..."

Lemar really wanted to explain to his sister that it wasn't like that, but hesitated for a moment. It seemed that his sister was only interested in which clothes looked better, so there was no need to explain.

At this point, the judge's uniform on the left began to slowly float away, becoming more transparent than before, while the newly appearing uniform on the right slowly floated to Karun's front.

"Hehe, brother, did you see that? Karun's taste is the same as mine."

But then, the judge's uniform that had already floated in front of him was pushed away. No, it was being pushed away.

This one, too?

Lemar took a deep breath. This action seemed to indicate one thing, that he still had a choice."Brother, I regret it. If I had known, I wouldn't have listened to you and awakened the bloodline of the Ye Kailin family. It would have been better to join the church. It's so free, and you can choose like picking clothes. The gods are like enthusiastic saleswomen... umm..."

Katherine's mouth was covered by Lamar's hand.

"Sister, remember, it's okay to be disrespectful to the gods in daily life, but not at this time and place."

Katherine nodded immediately, and Lamar released his hand.

"Also, do you think your ancestor Ye Kailin is kind?"

"Not really, even very distant."

"Even so, you still have bloodline inheritance, but the distance between the gods in the church and their believers will only be farther away, even... cold."

"What about Brother Karun?"

"I don't know either."

Lamar shook his head and looked at his sister.

Fortunately, he was only engaged.

...

Karun knew that decades ago, there was a conversation between the young Dis and Puerh when he returned from the Order Temple.

Search "pawread.com" for the original.

"The elder of the temple asked me a question. He asked me, what is Order for us believers?"

"Oh, how did you answer, Dis? Is it light, sun, air, the truth of all things running, the faith we struggle for all our lives?"

"My answer was that it's just a mask. People outside the mask can't see the real you, but you can use the name of the mask to do whatever you want."

...

Order... mask.

The real self, the false self, the self without a mask, the self with a mask, the self in Order, the self outside Order.

Therefore, there is actually a dividing line.

So, where does this line specifically fall?

Karun raised his left hand, and his index finger drew aimlessly in front of him. He tried to understand his grandfather's description of the relationship between Order and the mask.

Gradually, with the movement of Karun's fingertips, a tiny opening was cut on his fingertip, and strands of blood continuously overflowed from his fingertip, floating where his finger passed.

Slowly, another judge's uniform appeared in front of Karun, different from the previous two. This uniform was stained with blood, and there were red patterns intentionally embedded on it, not messy, but delicate and matching.

When this phantom uniform appeared, a completely different aura was revealed."Brother, why do I feel like this aura is a little familiar?"

Lemar gritted his teeth, and whether it was his left eye or right eye, both showed a shocked emotion. He said word by word:

"Because this is... the aura of our family's belief system."

Like him and his sister, like the Voss family and the Ye Kailin family, it was the aura of the family's belief system!

Lemar really wanted to shout out loud:

Why can a priest of the Order of the Gods condense the judge's uniform of the family's belief system? What is going on!

When did the Order of the Gods become his family's?

How many secrets are hidden in this young man?

What kind of "monster" did his sister fall for?

Ah,

Those materials suddenly didn't feel precious anymore.

Lemar even regretted that he should have embedded a few more diamonds in that ring to express his sincerity. Anyway, although it looked good, it was not valuable.

Karun sat by the bed, with a smile on his lips.

He felt a sense of intimacy, as if his grandfather was standing in front of him watching him.

Grandpa was the best person to him since he opened his eyes in this life.

Subconsciously, Karun reached out his hand, wanting to touch what was in front of him. This was his instinctive choice because he unconditionally believed in Dis.

However, when his hand was halfway there, a very rough sketch suddenly appeared in the mirror;

In the sketch, an old man held a sword in his hand, and a man and a woman lay on the ground, bleeding.

Then,

It was that evening when Dis came back home under the setting sun and said he was tired and wanted to sleep for a while.

The hand that reached out suddenly stopped.

Because Karun realized clearly that the path Dis chose when he was young was wrong.

This was something Dis had said himself!

This also meant that when Dis came back from the Temple of Order and talked with Puerh about order and masks, his explanation was not absolutely correct.

This sentence might be correct, but the emotional meaning might not be what he thought!

In an instant,

The three judge uniforms floating around Karun disappeared without warning!

"It seems that Brother Karun doesn't like them."

Lemar slowly exhaled and said, "Is it... too extravagant?"

Karun closed his eyes and no longer looked at the mirror.

So,

What is the relationship between order and masks?The existence of a judge is to judge, but how are the standards of judgment defined?

"The Order Regulations"?

...

Lanqiao Community, Allen Apartment, fourth floor, study.

"Meow!"

Puerh, who was drinking coffee and reading a collection of essays while basking in the sun, suddenly noticed that the box on the desk was moving by itself.

The box opened by itself, and the black notebook inside floated up. After turning pages automatically, it shimmered with a faint golden light.

Puerh looked up and saw the line of golden font:

"Practice is the sole criterion for testing truth."

...

Lemal Ceramic Art Museum, second floor, bedroom;

Karun looked up,

Why did he choose to leave home and go to Vienna when facing the choice given to him by Dis, even though he could have continued to live a comfortable life as a middle-class citizen of Roja City under Dis's protection?

Why did he leave the Allen Estate, even though he could have been very wealthy, and still had to take out a loan to buy a house, buy a used car, and go to work to earn a salary?

Why did he rashly go to the pigsty after reading Mr. Pavarotti's notes, knowing that there was great danger there?

Because I want to seek, I want to discover, I want to test, I want to... see.

Karun murmured to himself:

"When I wear a mask, I am practicing; when I take off the mask, I am testing."

At this time, a new shadow of the Order God's judge's uniform appeared on Karun. This uniform was black, but it looked very ordinary. Compared with the previous three, it was much dimmer.

Catherine exclaimed, "What a well-fitting outfit."

As a puppet master, Lemal also nodded in agreement. If the two were really suitable, they could even be lovers.

Yes,

It fits;

It is different from the uniform of those judges, and it seems to be tailored specifically for Karun.

But it is shallow, and thin, and now it cannot be worn at all.

But now, Karun's breath has been greatly improved from the original God's shepherd, and even no longer belongs to the level of God's shepherd, but he is not a judge.

"Hehe."

Karun suddenly laughed;

Why was he in such a hurry?

He could slowly comprehend the meaning of "judgment" of the Order God's judge, and then gradually become a judge.Just like how Piajie has always been carefree because he has never experienced a shortage of money.

Currently, Karun has three paths to becoming an advanced judge to choose from, so he doesn't need to rush and can stand there, look and think more.

People can only be at ease when they have many choices.

The phantom of the judge's uniform on Karun's body dissipated, but the color of the order chains covering the wall became deeper.

It can be said that Karun is now a judge, but he is not yet a judge.

Karun stood up and flipped the dressing mirror over, as if he had just finished a painting, and aimed it at any direction except himself.

Mr. Bede once told him that a true painter would take a step back and take a look after completing their work.

This glance is the greatest enjoyment and the true source of pleasure and spiritual joy.

Next, he didn't want to look anymore, it would be boring.

Yes, once the mirror was finished, there was no need to linger.

Immediately after, Karun released a strand of spiritual power from the ring on his left ring finger. Purple light flashed, and he turned into Mr. Pavarotti's appearance, with his hands placed on his chest in an extremely pious posture.

"Praise order!"

The purple light flashed again, and Karun returned to his original appearance. His gaze was very clear, as if it couldn't contain any impurities. He raised his hand and pointed upwards, saying in a very flat and clear tone:

"The order god raised by a prostitute!"
