In the collection room, because of this sentence, there was a long silence.

Neo, sitting on a chair with his eyes closed, his breathing became longer and his hands were placed in front of him, sometimes spread out and sometimes clenched.

Karun continued to lean against the wall, his gaze scanning the other items in the collection room, as if he was seriously visiting.

Finally, the captain opened his eyes and looked at Karun:

"I don't know what kind of action to take now or what kind of expression to show. I feel that shouting or jumping up would not be appropriate, but being too quiet is also not suitable.

Anyway, my heart has been in turmoil just now and now, can you understand?"

Karun nodded and said, "Yes, I understand."

"Okay, then I won't deliberately show anything."

Neo supported the armrests of the chair with both hands, not wanting to stand up, but just adjusted his sitting posture and took a deep breath.

This secret came down, even the captain would find it hard to bear.

"Inmores... is that your family name?"

"Yes, a family of judges."

Neo blinked,

repeatedly said:

"A family of judges?"

"Yes."

Neo extended his finger and rubbed his brow, saying, "It seems that I should re-examine the concept of a family of judges."

"Because my ancestors were all judges of the Order of Gods, as far as I know, my grandfather's position was also just a judge."

"What is your grandfather's name?"

"Dis."

"Dis?" Neo shook his head, "I haven't heard of this surname or this person before."

"It's normal that you don't know."

"Oh, are you comforting me with that?"

"Yes."

"But it sounds ironic to me."

"I'm sorry."

"So, the violent explosion in the Temple of Order was done by your grandfather?"

"Yes."

"How did he do it?"

"Captain, you should know the hierarchy of the temple elders, right?"

"Condense the divine fragments, be summoned by the Temple of Order, enter the temple, enter the place closest to the great god of order, become a higher existence above the church."

"Do you know how the gate of the Temple of Order is opened?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Karun, I'm still very far from condensing the divine fragments."

"Well... even if you succeed in condensing the divine fragments in the future, I guess you won't go to the Temple of Order, but I don't know if the Temple of Light still exists."

"Oh, I can tell, this sentence is mocking."

"Anyway, after condensing the divine fragments of order, the gate of the Temple of Order will appear in front of you, inviting you to enter the Temple of Order. This should be a spontaneous formation, a teleportation formation based on the temple, and the newly born divine fragments are the summoned objects.

In this medium, no matter how many knight orders are arranged to defend the Temple of Order, it is meaningless."

"Did your grandfather enter like this?"

"Yes."

"What happened after he entered?"

"He detonated the divine fragments."

"Was your grandfather contaminated?"

"No, he... he just had some conflicts and misunderstandings with the god of order.

Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the "pawread dot com"

Then, as you know, since this era, there has been no way to resolve misunderstandings face to face among the gods, so the misunderstandings have accumulated deeper and deeper, and my grandfather can only choose the most extreme way to deal with them."

After hearing this, Neo rubbed his face and asked Karun, "Do you have a cigarette?"

"Yes."

Karun handed the cigarette case and lighter to the captain.

Neo took the cigarette, didn't take the lighter, and then bit the cigarette like a chocolate bar, chewing the tobacco in his mouth:

"I'm sorry..."

This is a habitual expression when touching on the deceased in a conversation.

But...

"My grandfather is not dead, he is still alive."

Neo spit out the tobacco in his mouth and looked at Karun, saying word by word, "Your grandfather detonated the divine fragments in the Temple of Order, and you say that your grandfather is still alive?"

"Yes."

"How is that possible? Does your grandfather have more than one divine fragment?"

"No."

"Heh..." Neo.

Neo stood up from the chair, unable to sit still, walked to the display of the collection, and disassembled the arms and heads of the dolls one by one.

After a while, Neo spoke up:

"Three divine fragments?"

"Yes, corresponding to his youth, middle age, and old age."

"How did he do it?"

"I don't know." Karun shrugged, "I only know that for a long time, my grandfather felt troubled by his uncontrollable realm."

"Troubled?" Neo closed his eyes, then opened them, "I'm sorry, I just tried it and found that I can't empathize with this kind of trouble."

"Well, I can't do it either." Karun said honestly.

"And then, where is your grandfather now?"

"At home."

"At home... doing what?"

"Sleeping."

"Sleeping?" Neo raised his hands, "After blowing up the Temple of Order, he went home to sleep?"

While feeling absurd, Neo began to interchange and assemble the heads and arms of the dolls in front of him. Karun could imagine how crazy it would be for Mr. Lemar to see his beloved figurines being treated like this.

"My grandfather detonated a divine fragment and blew up the Temple of Order, then gave one to the elders of the temple, and then took the third one with him into a deep sleep. His request was that the Order of Gods should not pry into the lives of the Inmores family."

Neo immediately understood and asked, "So this is why you need to use the Pavarro mask to enter the Temple of Order?"

"Yes."

"If your identity is exposed..." Neo suddenly laughed, "Then you can sit on an equal footing with those guys like Leonore... oh no, you're sitting, and they're standing."

Karun neither affirmed nor denied.

"No wonder you can get along with them. I've said it before, you should be the same kind of person."

"I don't think we are the same kind of person. I can only say that I don't feel inferior to them."

"Okay, okay, then what is the purpose of hiding your identity?"

"My grandfather felt that he had taken the wrong path, so he placed his hope on me, hoping that I could find a different path."

Neo keenly caught the deeper meaning of this sentence and asked, "Did your grandfather take the wrong path alone, or did all of us... take the wrong path?"

"I don't know how to explain this."

"Okay, no need to explain, I'll stop here." Neo turned around and sat back on the chair, crossing his hands, "It's embarrassing that I can't continue to follow the bet."

"It's okay, Captain, the medical expenses..."

"So I decided to tell you one more thing as compensation. You don't need to follow the bet anymore. Although my intuition tells me that you still have a lot of chips."

"Okay, Captain."

"He, the one I devoured, although he deliberately hid his identity, in that year, after all, our relationship was so close that I caught a glimpse of some of his secrets.

The biggest secret is,

when I "killed" him successfully, he shouted out a surname."

"A surname?"

Neo raised his hands and said, "Something like: Is this the curse and punishment that our family should endure because of our sins?"

"Oh, I understand." Karun nodded, indicating that he had imagined the scene.

"This is also why I am going to investigate him now, even though I know that this move may lead me to destruction, and it may ruin all the victories I have won, but I am still willing.

Because the surname he shouted was... Phileas."

"Phileas?"

"Do you know this surname?"

"Yes." Karun nodded, "If Simosen is the royal family of the Reincarnation Sect, then Phileas is almost the royal family of the Temple of Light."

For a while, Karun was curious about the history of the downfall of the Temple of Light and deliberately searched for some information, and also read some in Mr. Hoffen's notes.

The Phileas family had produced many popes in history, and the last generation of the Pope of Light was the crazy pope who stood on the Light Tower and shouted that he did not believe in gods in the world. His surname was Phileas.

Although it cannot be said that the crazy pope caused the downfall of the Temple of Light, his action did ring the final death knell for the already crumbling Temple of Light.

So, the person the captain ate was a descendant of the crazy pope?

Neo seemed to guess what Karun was thinking and said, "I also speculate that way. I have a premonition that from him, from his bloodline, I seem to be able to trace the cause of the madness of the crazy pope.

You know, the records of the last period of history of the Temple of Light, even within the orthodox church, are very incomplete. It seems that all the churches were deliberately erasing something during that period.

This secret excites me; this truth fascinates me.

After losing Eliza, I need to find a place where my gaze can focus, and this is it."

"Captain, I am also very interested in this secret."

"Of course, I knew you would say that, but this is just my speculation. In fact, I have just started to investigate him, but I have already felt some influence from him.

Like being drunk, sometimes I naturally confuse the concept between him and me. The things he has done, I naturally think that I have done them, but I don't resist this feeling, because I don't perceive any pain from it."

"But in the end, there will be problems."

"That is something I need to worry about in the future. Now, I just want to enjoy the present."

Neo stood up, reached out and patted Karun's shoulder, "It's getting late, do you need to go home? I'll take you back."

"Okay, Captain."

Neo and Karun left Lemar's collection room, and when they walked out of the shop, they didn't say hello to the owner.

After getting in the car, Neo asked, "Back to the funeral home?"

"Yes."

Neo started the car, and at this time, it was between dawn and darkness.

"To some extent, our goals are the same. We both want to explore the true scenery on the path of faith."

"Yes, Captain."

"Karun, thank you for your frankness. I took advantage of you tonight."

"Captain, medical expenses..."

"So I decided to tell you one more thing as compensation, only you know my secret. So if one day, you find that I am no longer myself..."

"What should I do?"

"You figure it out."

"Okay, Captain."

"Do you know what I think when I stand in front of Eliza's grave?"

"The meaning of life?"

Actually, I don't think about anything, because only when I stand in front of Eliza's grave can I stop."

"I probably understand how you felt at that time, emptying yourself, right?"

"Yes, sooner or later, I will find the person who drove Eliza to death and the person who is still whispering in my mind now, and I will completely erase him."

When he said this, Neo looked at Karun and smiled, "Walking aimlessly, although it can be comfortable, once comfort becomes the mainstream and is no longer an escape from busyness, it won't be so beautiful anymore. I need to find a goal for myself, and this goal should be higher and more difficult to achieve."

"That's how it should be."

"What about you? Have you thought about setting a goal for yourself?"

"I want to meet him."

The car paused for a moment, and Neo burst into laughter, "Heh, you still remember her, I said, how could it be just supporting the same clan."

"Whose fault is that?"

"Is it my fault?" Puerh shook his tail and said with a smile, "You changed Kevin to flirt with her, look at how she reacts to him!

Obviously, you were the one who flirted with her, and you blame me, hmph."

"You're annoying."

"Am I annoying? I'm watching over my great-great-great-great-niece for you!"

"Well, where is Miss Ophelia?"

"Haha, you're still thinking about her, I knew it, how could it be just supporting the same clan so purely."

"Whose fault is that?"

"Is it my fault?" Puerh wagged his tail and said with a smile, "You changed Kevin to flirt with her, look at how she reacts to him!

Obviously, you were the one who flirted with her, and you blame me, hmph."

"I'm tired, I want to sleep for a while."

Karun took off his clothes and lay on the bed.

Puerh saw this and immediately shut up. After Karun lay down, Puerh even took the initiative to approach his chest, extending his claws to gently soothe his chest, murmuring:

"It seems that you're really tired. It's rare to see you not taking a shower."

Hearing this, Karun got up from the bed again and walked towards the bathroom.

"Oh... I was wrong, I shouldn't have reminded you." Puerh immediately apologized.

For someone with bath compulsive disorder, if you remind him that he hasn't taken a shower, he won't be able to sleep.

Standing in the bathroom, hot water poured down from the top of his head, Karun closed his eyes and enjoyed the relaxing feeling.

Suddenly, he heard the captain's words when he got off the car: try not to get too close to your mask, even if it's something worn on your face.

Karun reached out and touched his face,

shook his head,

and said:

"Captain, I can't take off this mask of mine."
