Mrs. Lake's workshop;

Karun sat next to her, watching Mrs. Lake prepare the body for burial. She was covered in a faint black aura, which was the result of Karun's purification and blessing.

"Are all demons such dangerous beings?" Mrs. Lake whispered, "My husband rarely talked to me about these things. I'm sorry, I'm just curious."

"You can think of them as people infected with a disease," Karun replied, "At least, a large part of them are."

"Are Dora and Dorin also considered demons?"

"If it weren't for their father being a judge, their fate would likely have been purification, the kind of thorough purification."

"I understand."

Mrs. Lake continued her work, and Karun noticed that her tools may not be as good as Aunt Mary's, but her technique was no less impressive.

"Madam, how long have you been doing this?" Karun asked.

"My grandmother and mother both did this."

"Oh, I see."

Karun stood up and began to observe the body that had already been preliminarily processed.

The first place to be processed was undoubtedly the face, as other areas could be covered with clothing and accessories, but not the face.

The significance of a mortician was to allow the deceased and their loved ones to see each other for the last time. Here, the face referred to the face.

Two fangs had been pulled out by Mrs. Lake and placed on a nearby tray. At the same time, she also filled the gaps where the teeth had been pulled out, allowing her mouth to close naturally.

The skin on her face had been pulled and stretched again, because her appearance was too grim before death, leaving very clear wrinkles. This way, her facial expression would look more dignified after the processing.

In addition, ten black long nails had also been cut off. When lying in the coffin during the funeral, her hands would be folded on her abdomen, and the black long nails would look indecent.

"The most difficult part of the job is over," Mrs. Lake smiled, "Now it's time for makeup and clothing."

"Well, you're really efficient."

"Thank you for your praise."

Karun picked up one of the pulled fangs and looked at it carefully. With the experience of breaking the ring earlier, Karun also tried to break it with his hands, but it was very hard.

Then, he rubbed the tip of the fang back and forth on the steel bed, making a piercing sharp sound. But when he picked it up again, he found that there was no damage to the tip of the fang.

It must be very uncomfortable to be stabbed in the neck with this thing and have blood sucked out.

Karun put down the fang and picked up one of the black long nails that had been cut off. The black inside the nail was slightly hot to the touch, and Karun knew that it was because there was still a strong contamination inside the nail, or more simply, it was carrying toxins.

All signs indicated that this was a relatively mature bloodthirsty demon, and its level would not be too low.

Because Mr. Hoffen's notes recorded what those low-level bloodthirsty demons were like, those guys were more like undead creatures with an instinctive obsession with blood.

"The teeth, nails, and anything else that falls off during the processing should be put in a box for safekeeping. Hmm, it's better to place them under her hands in this position."

"Okay, I understand what you mean. These things are important to her, right?""Well, but mostly to show that we didn't steal her things. These teeth and nails have some value."

"Like ivory?" Mrs. Lake joked.

"You could say that."

"Thank you for your hard work. Do you need to stay up late with me?"

"It's not hard. You're the one taking a risk doing her makeup."

"I'm fine. When I'm covered in this black layer, I feel safe and comfortable."

At this point, Mrs. Lake looked up at the radio on the studio cabinet and asked, "May I use the radio to listen to some music? It'll help me do my makeup faster."

"Sure."

Karun walked over and turned on the radio, adjusting the frequency. Soon, a sentimental song flowed out.

Mrs. Lake obviously knew what song it was and hummed along, her movements becoming much faster.

Karun sat back in his original position. He couldn't leave now, or the purification he gave to Mrs. Lake would be interrupted.

Listening to the song and watching the bloodthirsty demon's body lying on the steel bed in front of him gradually recovering its "youthful appearance," Karun fell into deep thought.

When her husband called, he said he came to seek help from Pavaro because he heard that Mr. Pavaro was a good person.

Indeed, from Pavaro's perspective, it was difficult not to give the demon who chose to commit suicide rather than harm ordinary people some help, such as a decent funeral.

When Pavaro first "woke up," the thing he cared most about when he saw Annie lying on the ground was her funeral.

Her husband didn't actually know Pavaro, and he hadn't even had any contact with him. After answering the phone and admitting that he was Pavaro, the other party believed him and didn't hear any difference in the voice.

Although there was some distortion in the sound during phone communication, his voice and Pavaro's voice were still clearly distinguishable. He didn't wear a mask at the time, and his voice didn't change.

Recently, who told him that Mr. Pavaro was a good and honest person who would take on this job?

A little trickery, and the other party took the initiative to answer, confirming that it was Neo, the captain of the Order Whip team, who told him.

Neo knew them, and when faced with his plea, he also suggested that he come to Pavaro. So he came.

He didn't even know that Mr. Pavaro didn't actually know the "captain."

Because Neo took the position of the recently deceased Thales and was still rebuilding this Order team, he had no real contact with Pavaro. The only time they met, he was a cautious clerk next to Mion.

So, to sum up, the whole thing is probably: the woman chose to commit suicide before losing herself; the woman's husband asked Neo for help and wanted to give his wife a decent funeral. Neo recommended Pavaro Funeral Home.

What was the relationship between Neo and this couple?

Just helping them make a recommendation, or was there another motive?

"Okay, it's done." Mrs. Lake put down her tools.

Only then did Karun realize that he had been lost in thought for so long. Mrs. Lake had even changed the demon's clothes to a clean new outfit, a white dress.

"You did a great job."

"Thank you for your praise. Can I go take a shower now?""Of course."

"You must be hungry now. I'll prepare a late-night snack for you after I take a shower. I won't forget the sauce."

"Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard at all."

Lady Lake left and Karun waved his hand, releasing the purification guard on her.

Karun continued to sit in his original position.

"Young master, young master?"

Karun heard Alfred's voice from the radio.

"Young master, can I come in now?"

"Yes."

"Okay, young master, I'm coming."

The radio replayed the previous music.

After waiting for a while, Alfred, carrying a large bag on his shoulder, finally arrived in the backyard and saw Karun sitting in the workshop.

"Weren't you at the door just now?" Karun asked.

"No, when I called for you, I was on my way here."

"You can control it from that far away?"

"I just discovered it recently." Alfred smiled and said, "It's probably because I often listen to it, so the distance I can control the radio suddenly increased a lot."

"Is everything taken care of?"

"Yes, everything is done. I bought the scrolls back and gave them to Puerh and Kevin. I spent a total of 2,000 Order Vouchers at LeMar's Pottery Studio. Not only did I make up for the previous bag, but I also brought back a large bag. Mr. LeMar said that because of the reminder you gave him earlier, he successfully hoarded a batch of Blood Spirit Powder. Now, the price of Blood Spirit Powder on the market has risen sharply due to the interruption of the supply channel. He made a lot of money by reselling it, so he gave us a discount this time."

"Put the things at the door across the street."

"Okay, young master." After Alfred put the bag over there, he came back and said, "Young master, I found out about the organization that was holding the torch and wearing white clothes during the day. It is a group of people who hate illegal immigrants. Their slogan is to burn all illegal immigrants who occupy their job opportunities and pollute their city with fire. There are many organizations like this in Vienna."

"Okay, I see."

Alfred then noticed the body on the steel bed and walked over to take a closer look. He was surprised and said, "Young master, is this a bloodthirsty demon?"

"Yes."

Karun told Alfred everything that had happened, including his analysis.

"So, young master, are you worried that there might be a conspiracy here?"

"It's not a conspiracy yet. I'm just curious about the relationship between Neo and the bloodthirsty demon."

"What about the funeral?"

"The body has been prepared for burial. We must do it since we promised. This is what Dis said before."

"The late-night snack is ready. Oh, who is this?" Lady Lake asked curiously.

"Madam, you should remember me. I was injured in the explosion before, and you and your husband drove me to the hospital in the hearse."

"It's you. Are you okay now?"

"I'm fine."

"Alfred, thank you and your husband for lending a helping hand back then. By the way, I am the young master's servant.""You, you are his servant." Lady Lake remembered what Karun had said before, that the person in front of her was his boss. But soon Lady Lake realized that she didn't need to ask more, just smiled and nodded, "Oh, I see. No wonder, no wonder."

The late-night snack was simple, vegetable soup with cheese and ham burgers. Karun ate two and drank a bowl of soup.

After cleaning up the dishes, Lady Lake said goodbye and went back to her room to rest.

Karun and Alfred returned to the workshop.

"Young master, the simplest way is for you to use 'Awakening' to wake her up and ask her. Then everything will be clear."

"What you see now is the processed corpse. In fact, her death was very gruesome. I feel like she has entered a state of madness. After awakening, she is just an additional bloodthirsty lunatic."

"Young master is right. She must have chosen to commit suicide at the last moment. Who would want to die before the last step?"

"Alright, let's go home first."

Karun locked the workshop and put the key on himself.

As he walked out, he saw Pick, who was wrapped in a blanket and snoring in the corner of the shop. Karun ordered that one person must stay awake between him and Dingkom every night. Tonight, it was Pick.

"I didn't hide when I came in, but he didn't notice at all," Alfred said.

"I didn't expect him to do anything. But in this shop, where there are only a mother and two daughters left, the sound of snoring at night is already a great sense of security."

"Young master is right."

"In a while, when there is enough money, we can renovate the backyard. It's too much trouble to run back and forth every day."

"Young master, don't worry. I will start planning tomorrow."

"By the way, you continue to come with me tomorrow to set up the mourning hall."

"Okay, young master."

Karun sat in the car, and Alfred was about to start the car when he saw a blue car driving by. When it passed by the funeral home, it suddenly slowed down and finally stopped by the roadside.

Alfred stopped turning the key, and Karun reached out and tapped the car radio.

Soon, there was snowflake noise from the car radio, and then the snowflakes dissipated, and a man's crying voice came out.

He was really crying, and he cried very sadly, shouting a woman's name while crying:

"Elisa... Elisa... My Elisa..."

Karun touched his ring, which turned into Pavaro's appearance. He got out of the car and walked directly towards the blue car in front.

When he reached the passenger seat, he saw a man burying his face in the steering wheel and crying.

Karun knocked on the car window, and the man was startled and turned his head to look. At the same time, Karun noticed that he put his hand in his chest, which was a gesture of preparing to draw a gun.

The need to draw a gun... meant that he was very weak.

But Karun hesitated for a moment, whether to first sing a shield in front of himself?

However, Karun still pointed to the funeral home across the street.

The man seemed to realize who the person in front of him was and immediately took out his gun and threw it on the passenger seat. Karun opened the car door, picked up the gun first, and then sat in the passenger seat."Are you Judge Pavarotti?" the man asked.

"Yes."

"Thank you for helping my wife with her funeral."

The man knelt down in front of Karun, even though the space in the car was small.

"Do you know Captain Neo?"

"Yes, I know Captain Neo. I knew him before he became a captain. Hmm? Your voice?"

The man noticed that Pavarotti's voice was different from the one on the phone.

Karun heard the man's confusion, but didn't plan to explain anything and asked directly, "I want to know your relationship with Neo."

"After my wife and I fled from our family, we came to Wien and lived in Sampo City for many years. At that time, Neo was the captain of the Order of the Whip in Sampo City. When he was investigating a case, he was attacked and injured. My wife and I helped him, and that's how we met. Later, with his help, my wife was able to delay her loss of control for so long. Without him, my wife may have lost control two years ago. After he was transferred to York City, he brought us with him. He told us that we had to follow him because he knew my wife was about to lose control and he couldn't watch her hunt and kill ordinary people for blood."

"When did your wife die?"

"This morning. Neo was also there."

This morning...

Karun remembered when he went to the office floor to find Neo, Neo said he had just come back. But in fact, he and Vice Director Mion had come back earlier than him, and he had spent a long time getting his Godservant certificate.

"Did your wife commit suicide?" Karun asked.

"She did. She used a silver nail to nail herself to death. Neo was there to witness it because if Elisha couldn't do it, Neo said he would help."

"Do you hate him?"

"Hate? No. My wife had prepared for her loss of control and suicide years ago. She didn't want to become a bloodthirsty demon. We are deeply grateful to Neo because of him, Elisha and I were able to spend two more years together, two happy and beautiful years, really. Also, I asked Neo to help arrange a funeral for Elisha. Elisha's appearance is not suitable for an ordinary funeral home, and the funeral home run by judges in York City is even less likely to accept her. If her body falls into their hands, it will probably be handed over. At my request, Neo said he would ask you, the judge of Pavarotti Funeral Home in the Blue Bridge Community, for help. Neo said you are a righteous and kind person, and only you can help us hold a funeral."

"Are you also a supernatural being?" Karun asked. He couldn't sense any supernatural energy from the man.

The man wiped away his tears and said, "Sir, my name is Cohen, and I am a human being."

"A human being?"

"I am a servant in the Avanas Manor. My family has been serving the great Avanas family for generations."

Karun knew about the Avanas family, a well-known bloodthirsty supernatural family."What about you and your wife?"

"Elisa is a miss. Our love was not allowed in the estate, so we eloped."

Oh, what a cliché love story.

"Does Neo know about what I promised you?"

"He doesn't know because this morning before he left, he told me that we have no relationship and will not contact each other again."

...

Alfred watched as "Mr. Pavarotti" got out of the blue car in front of him. The car started and left, and then "Mr. Pavarotti" opened the car door, got in, and turned back into the young master.

The young master still held an envelope in his hand, which he handed directly to himself.

Alfred took the envelope, opened it, counted it, and said, "Young master, it's 2000 Abyss Coupons, which is about 1600 Order Coupons according to the exchange rate on the black market."

"Well, it's higher than my salary as a judge, god servant, and Eye of Order even if I can get it. So, I think this business has great potential for development. In the future, we can even specialize in funerals for non-ordinary people.

We won't accept secular currency for funeral expenses, only coupons."

"Young master, you're right."

"Okay, let's go home."

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from "pawread.com".

...

Back in the community, Puerh rode on Kevin and excitedly said, "Karun, I have good news for you. Our scroll will be completed in three days!"

"Hush." Karun made a "hush" gesture to them and picked up the phone. "First, I'll report myself."

Alfred squatted down, grabbed the phone line with both hands, and his eyes turned red. This way, the phone call he made couldn't be traced by the telephone company.

Karun dialed the contact information on the gray paper bag according to the instructions and called.

There were fixed contact methods on the paper, similar to sending a letter, and there were also emergency contact methods, but it was marked that they should not be used unless necessary.

"Hello." A woman's voice.

"I'm Karun. I'm looking for the captain to report something."

"Wait a moment."

Not long after, Neo's voice came through the phone.

"Hello?"

"Captain, our funeral society received the body of a bloodthirsty demon today, and Judge Pavarotti not only did not hand it over but also wants to prepare a funeral for her."

There was a sigh of relief on the other end of the phone, very slight, but Karun caught it, as if it was a...relieved feeling.

"Okay, I got it."

"Captain, what should I do? Please instruct me!"

"You...just help him and handle this funeral well."
