On his way back, Karun went to visit Mrs. Lake and Mr. Pavarotti's two daughters at the hotel, but he didn't transform into Mr. Pavarotti because Mrs. Lake and the two daughters would recognize him even if he did.

Masks were meant for outsiders. They were useless for real family members who knew who you were.

After exchanging greetings, Karun drove back to the apartment. It was already dark outside.

When he pushed the door open, he saw Puerh sitting on the coffee table eating cut fruit, while Kevin was gnawing on a big bone and playing with it.

"Sylvie just left. Dinner is in the kitchen," Puerh said.

Karun threw his equipment bag onto the blanket and sat down on the carpet.

"What's this?" he asked.

Puerh stopped eating fruit and leaned over, and Kevin stopped gnawing and also leaned over.

"It's the basic equipment pack from the Order Whip Squad. We got it this afternoon, but don't expect too much from it," Karun said.

He opened the pack and took out a thick sheet of paper, which turned out to be an instruction manual. The manual was illustrated and detailed, making Karun feel like he was opening a toy gift bag rather than an equipment pack.

He set the manual aside and took out the first item, a revolver. It felt light in his hand, and the material didn't seem to be of good quality, but there were many engravings on it.

He then picked up the bullet box, opened it, and found that the bullets were all red and felt light in his hand.

"Is this a magic gun?" Karun asked.

Puerh examined it carefully and said, "Yes."

Kevin flipped through the instruction manual that Karun had thrown aside and nodded. "Woof."

Puerh explained, "It's the lowest-level magic gun. The bullets have a certain purifying effect, but don't expect too much from it."

Karun then took out a stack of scrolls from the pack. Yes, a stack. But the scrolls were narrow and not as white as the ones Alfred had bought for Puerh and Kevin on the black market. The difference was like a real diamond ring and a toy ring.

"The lowest-level scrolls can imprint the most basic magic, which can save you some time chanting spells, but the success rate is only about fifty percent."

"So, even if the magic gun doesn't work well, at least the bullets make a sound when fired, which can scare people or demons. This scroll, on the other hand, is really useless and may even have side effects."

"That's true for you, because your success rate in using magic, especially low-level magic, is basically not a problem, and you should be able to cast low-level magic instantly now. So, it's really useless for you."

Next, Karun took out a pair of leather boots, a black robe, and a silver-white mask.

This silver-white mask reminded Karun of something. "We also have a mask of the same color at home."

"It should be in the radio demon's bedroom. Stupid dog, go get it."

"Woof!"

Karun's luggage, including the notes and books from Mr. Hoffen, had always been kept by Alfred. Karun trusted him completely because he would never steal from them, and he could read them openly and honestly.Grandpa didn't leave many physical items behind, but the silver-white mask was one of them.

Back then, sitting in Grandpa's study, wearing this mask, it was because of it that Karun was able to become the "escaped fish" during Dis's blood sacrifice ceremony, not only keeping his spiritual power but also becoming the only inheritor of the Yinmorales family's spiritual bloodline.

Karun slowly put on the mask, then looked at Puerh, who was also looking at him.

After a while, Karun took off the mask and said, "It's just an ordinary mask."

At this moment, Kevin came out of Alfred's bedroom with the silver-white mask he brought from home and placed it in front of Karun. Karun took the mask and found that the style was exactly the same, but the texture in his hand was completely different.

The mask had been in his luggage since he arrived in Vienna, and Karun had not touched it since then. Now, he put on the mask, and the cold feeling sank from his face to his whole body.

Suddenly, the purple light on Karun's ring finger on his left hand shone, but it did not turn him into Mr. Pavaro's appearance. Instead, the silver-white mask on Karun's face began to melt, gradually turning into strands of silver liquid that slid down from his face to his chin, then to his chest, and finally down his arm to his ring, where the two merged.

It was not like the ring was absorbing the mask, but more like the ring was being "conquered."

Karun watched the changes with his head down, and the purple light gradually turned into silver-white. When the light dissipated, the original purple gemstone ring had turned silver-white.

"I hope... it's not broken," Karun said worriedly, fearing that the ring might mutate and prevent him from turning into Mr. Pavaro's appearance. So he tried to input some spiritual power into it.

With a flash of white light, Karun became Mr. Pavaro's appearance.

"Is there any difference?" Karun asked Puerh and Kevin.

Puerh and Kevin shook their heads, indicating that there was no difference, and it was still perfect and realistic.

The next moment, Karun changed back to his original appearance, but there was an extra silver-white mask on his face.

Immediately after, the silver-white mask disappeared, and Karun returned to his original appearance.

"Do you know the origin of this mask that Grandpa gave me?" Karun asked.

Puerh shook her head and said, "But it can react with the ring made by the Woss family for you, so I guess it may also come from the Woss family."

"Woof! Woof! Woof!" Kevin said, "The stupid dog thinks it may come from the Woss family, but it was a long time ago, and it's different from the current Woss family."

"Woof! Woof! Woof!" Kevin continued, "Because it helped you block the blood sacrifice ceremony, it means that when you wear this mask, even the pull of your bloodline is blocked."

"It sounds powerful," Karun nodded, then casually threw the silver-white mask he took out of his equipment bag aside. Although he had not found any other use for the silver-white mask Grandpa gave him, it was confirmed that this mask was useless.

Next, Karun took off his shoes and put on leather boots, then walked around.

"How is it?" Puerh asked.

"It's a bit big and doesn't fit very well," Karun replied.

"Can you change to a smaller size?" Puerh asked."I don't think so, because a senior team member told me that we can sell unused things directly to the black market."

"A pair of boots won't sell for much." Puerh pressed the black robe with her paw. "This robe is also a common style and there are no runes inside."

Karun put on the robe and found that it was too big for him.

"Well, it seems that this set of clothes doesn't fit us. Let's have them custom-made," Puerh said. "There should be tailors who specialize in making robes in the black market. They can also ask formation masters to add some basic formations to your clothes."

"How much does it cost?"

"It's not cheap."

"Forget it, I'll buy a set through regular channels. After all, it will be my first official robe."

According to normal understanding, official robes purchased through regular channels should be more expensive.

"After you become a judge, you will be given judge uniforms every year, including the God's servant, God's herald, and God's shepherd. They are usually only issued when there is a need for the position," Puerh said.

"That's stingy." Karun sighed. "The welfare at the grassroots level is really poor."

"It's like that everywhere." Puerh spoke as if it were a matter of course. "In all industries, the grassroots are the hardest-working and have the worst treatment, so you have to climb up."

"I'm responsible for the close protection mission this time, and I should wear plain clothes instead of a robe. I'll buy one from the church through the Pavarro channel with some credits," Karun said.

"Well, that's good."

Karun also took out a vest with steel plates from his bag. It looked like a BackJoy.

After putting on the vest, he found that only the front and back of the vest were protected, and there were no formations inside. Karun tried to input spiritual power, but there was no change.

So, it was confirmed that it was just a BackJoy.

The backpack seemed to be empty. Karun turned it over and shook it, and a few 100 Rael bills fell out. He picked them up, totaling 500 Rael.

"I think the most practical thing in the entire backpack is the magic revolver, followed by these 500 Rael."

Karun loaded the revolver with bullets and left it on his body, while the 500 Rael was placed on the coffee table and covered with a teacup. Everything else was thrown back into the bag.

"By the way, I'm going to perform a security mission this time," Karun said.

"You just said that, I heard it." Puerh responded. "It seems that the captain values you highly."

Karun didn't plan to continue on the topic of "valuing," but asked instead:

"The target of this protection mission is the negotiation representative sent by the Dark Moon family to York City. What is the relationship between this Dark Moon family and the Dark Moon Blade I learned?"

Puerh was stunned.

On the side, Kevin heard the news, closed his mouth, but his lips curled up. He knew how the Dark Moon Blade came into Puerh's hands.

"Well, I think, maybe, probably, it's a family," Puerh said.

"Tell me more."

"There's nothing much to say."

"How did you get this magic? How did you obtain it?"

"Well... back then, there was a guy from the Dark Moon family who liked me and wanted to pursue me, so he gave me this magic as a gift."

"Then what?"

"What else?" Puerh blinked her watery amber cat eyes.

"What about that guy?""I didn't like him, so I kicked him. I told you before, I never thought about dating or getting married. Anyway, my father couldn't beat me, neither could my uncles or siblings. Nobody could force me."

"That's it?"

"There's nothing complicated. Trust me, we broke up peacefully. Actually, he never even touched me. We just forgot about each other in a friendly atmosphere."

"So, if I use the Dark Moon Blade in front of the Dark Moon Family, it's okay?"

"No!" Puerh immediately objected.

Karun sat down on the sofa and said, "Go on."

"I was going to a monster island to find an egg, and he insisted on coming with me. I couldn't shake him off, so I had to let him come with me. Then I found the egg and left the island."

"What about him?"

"We forgot about each other."

"You left him on the island?"

"Otherwise, I couldn't get rid of him. You don't know how clingy he is!"

"Did he die?"

"No, he didn't. Later, I found out that he went back alive. I was really surprised. You know, the Dark Moon Family is a special existence, and their family system is comparable to the small church. If he followed me everywhere, it would not be convenient and would easily attract the attention of the church. But fortunately…"

"What happened?"

"His father died."

"Hmm?"

"Then he went back and inherited the position of the family head. He wrote me a letter, saying that he couldn't leave the Dark Moon Island anymore and hoped that I could come to the island to find him. He would summon the brilliance of the Dark Moon and propose to me under its blessing. Then, he really couldn't leave the island, haha."

Puerh laughed.

Karun looked at Kevin, and Kevin looked at him.

"Why aren't you laughing?" Puerh asked in confusion.

"Because I don't think it's very funny," Karun said. "I even think that guy might have been sincere to you."

"Woof."

"I even think that if you had gone to the Dark Moon Island, you might not have turned into a cat."

"Why think about these things? It's boring. Besides, there are no squirrels or sweetfish on the island."

"Okay, I'll make it for you tomorrow."

"Tonight, can I, my dear Karun?"

"I haven't bought the ingredients."

"I'll have Hili buy them this afternoon."

"Did you talk to her?"

"Of course not. I showed her a note. But I think this big-bottomed maid already knew I could talk. Sometimes when you talked to me at home, she was mopping the floor downstairs. But her psychological endurance is really strong."

"Okay, I'll let you make it. There's nothing to do tomorrow anyway."

"Hehe, love you, meow."Karun got up and walked into the kitchen to prepare the ingredients.

At this moment, Puerh bounced over to the sink and reminded Karun, "Maybe you can ask how the Sea God's Armor of the Stupid Dog came about. I'm sure there's a story behind it."

"I'm not very interested."

"Why? That's not fair! I told mine, and it didn't say anything. I guarantee you, the Stupid Dog must have been fooled by a woman before, and it was a terrible deception!"

"You are more recent, he probably goes back to the previous era. This story doesn't sound very relatable."

"Although I think you make sense, I still feel offended."

"I'll make you a sour fish dish for lunch tomorrow."

"Oh, please don't hesitate to offend me in the future."

"Call Alfred and have him bring Pick and Dingkang over for dinner."

"It seems that joining Neo's team has given you a great sense of security."

"It seems so."

Puerh jumped out of the sink, ran to the cabinet where the phone was, and started dialing with her cat claws.

Around 9:30 in the evening, Karun prepared dinner, and Alfred brought Pick and Dingkang back.

The two were obviously uncomfortable and sat straight in their chairs.

Karun served the food and signaled everyone to start eating.

At the dinner table, Dingkang and Pick only knew how to eat and didn't speak, but they found that the dishes were really delicious!

Karun briefly talked with Alfred about the upcoming mission and how he couldn't go home for a while. Alfred promised that when Karun returned, the funeral home's decoration would be completed, and he could move in directly.

After dinner, Dingkang and Pick volunteered to clean up the kitchen. When they finished cleaning, Alfred took them downstairs to continue working. They had been sleeping on the construction site for the past few days.

"I really didn't expect Mr. Karun's cooking skills to be so good." Pick sighed.

"Yeah." Dingkang agreed.

Alfred took out 600 Order Vouchers and handed them to them, saying, "Divide it among yourselves."

The monthly allowance for the Divine Servants was only 100 Order Vouchers, which was equivalent to 300 for each person for a season.

Alfred interrupted their gratitude and waved his hand, saying, "Work hard, and I won't treat you unfairly."

...

In the Ivy Cemetery, Neo stood quietly, accompanied by the person lying inside. There was a circle of white roses planted around the tombstone.

After a long silence, Neo spoke, "Elisa, there's another mission coming up. When it's over, I'll come see you again. You see, just like before."

At this time, the cemetery administrator, Old Saman, walked over while sweeping the ground. He looked curiously at Neo and asked, "Hey, it's late, and I'm going to close up."

Neo looked at him and replied, "I'm leaving now."

"Hey."

"Anything else?"

Old Saman looked at the tombstone surrounded by white roses in front of Neo and asked, "Do you know Karen, the son-in-law of the Pavarotti Funeral Home?"

"Son-in-law?"

"His name is Karen."

"Yes, I know him."

"He ate a pot of macaroni from me last time, and then sent me a lot of food to keep in my fridge. I couldn't eat it all. Do you want to come over for a late-night snack?"

"Okay.""Just a moment, let me finish sweeping here and then I'll be done. By the way, who is lying inside?"

"My...wife."

"You're lucky. We have a discount for the second grave now. We didn't have this promotion before," said Old Saman.

"I don't need it."

His body will be handed over to the church and won't be buried.

"Hey, I'm not trying to sell you anything. Of course, I know you don't need to buy another one. Didn't you already ask Karun to buy one for you?"

"Hmm?"

"Here, look. It's the empty grave next to your wife's. I remember the owner's name was Neo. That's you, right?"

"Yes."

There's more tonight.
