After having snacks and tea, Wen Tula accompanied Karun and Alfred to the entrance of the apartment.

"Thank you again to your grandmother. The snacks she made suit my taste."

"Thank you. Grandma will be very happy to hear your praise."

After parting ways, Karun and Alfred got into the car.

"Young master, the benefactor of the Wen Tula family is actually Mr. Dis."

Alfred also recognized him, after all, he had been an equal opponent of Dis.

"Yes."

"In that case, it is only natural for Wen Tula to become your subordinate, young master."

"No, nothing is natural. Grandfather probably helped them as an experiment, although the end result benefited them, fundamentally it was an equal transaction...

Gratitude is their own business, we don't need to label ourselves as benefactors.

Besides, grandfather's affairs cannot be made public."

"Young master is considerate."

"Alright, let's go home. I want to rest for a while."

...

The next afternoon, Karun was sitting in the study, drinking ice water and reading a book when the telephone rang.

"Hello, Pavaro Funeral Society."

"Karun, congratulations on passing the selection." The captain's voice came from the other end of the line.

"What's the matter, captain?"

Karun didn't believe that the captain had suddenly forgotten to congratulate him and called for this reason.

"Well, I am currently leading most of the team on a mission in Sampo City."

"Why didn't you inform me?"

"We left late last night. I thought you were still preparing for the final selection, so I didn't notify you. By the way, the specific date is out. The day after tomorrow at 8 o'clock in the morning, go to the Academic Building and use the teleportation array to go to the selection site. Remember the time."

"Alright, I got it."

"But there is one more thing now, I need your help. I can't spare any manpower at the moment."

"Captain, you..."

"Go to the Lequiel Theater in the southern district and get something for me. The performance starts at 7 o'clock in the evening, you can buy a ticket and go in. Look for an actor named Hidink, tell him that the hunting dog sent you to pick up the goods, and he will give it to you.

I don't know what he used to pack it, but if you're curious, you can open it and take a look, it's fine."

"Alright, captain, I understand."

"Well, it's hard for you to make a trip. I don't trust anyone else to get that thing."

"I will go and get it. By the way, captain, have you been to the Lemar Pottery Museum?"

"I have been there. It's still early, right? I had Memphis watch over the pottery museum last night."

"Memphis?"

"Yes, I originally wanted to arrange Richard, but he has trouble with his legs."

"Trouble with his legs?"

"It seems that his legs were broken."

"This..."

"So Memphis couldn't stay at home for the time being, I let him go to the pottery museum."

"Alright, I understand, captain."

"That's it for now. We will start the arrest operation tonight, so I need to rest first."

"Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Karun walked out of the study. In the warehouse, Alfred, Puerh, and Kevin were conducting refining experiments, preparing to work on the egg. So Karun didn't call Alfred to go out with him. When he walked to the front hall, he saw Pike and Dingcombe sitting there reading the newspaper.

Karun waved to Pike, "Pike, come with me."

"Yes, boss."

Under Dingcombe's envious gaze, Pike sat in the driver's seat and drove for the boss.

It was still too early for the performance, so Karun didn't go to the Lequiel Theater first, but went to the Lemar Pottery Museum.

Pike stayed in the car and waited, while Karun got out of the car and walked into the pottery museum. As soon as he entered, he saw Memphis sitting there in front of a turntable, doing pottery.

Seeing Karun, Memphis instinctively wanted to stand up.

"No, no, you continue, don't delay your work."

Memphis continued to sit, carefully controlling the angle with his hands.

"Where is Mr. Lemar?" Karun asked.

"He just went out to buy dinner." Memphis replied.

"When did you come?"

"The captain asked me to come last night. It happened that I couldn't stay at home."

"Richard..."

"Both of his legs were broken."

Karun pursed his lips and said, "I'm sorry, if I had been more determined at that time, he could have gotten the spot."

But even if he didn't pass the selection, he shouldn't have been beaten so badly, right?

When did the Gu Man family's education become so strict?

In fact, the reason why Richard had such a lax personality was because he didn't have much pressure when he was young. His family was very tolerant of him, especially after his parents separated.

"Hmm?" Memphis realized that Karun had misunderstood, "It's not because of the selection, he made another mistake."

"Another mistake, what mistake?"

Memphis hesitated a bit because this mistake wasn't easy to talk about, but considering Karun's identity, Memphis decided not to hide it and said, "He used my name to sign orders at the snack shop on the street."

Karun blinked his eyes and his mouth twitched a few times. To avoid bursting into laughter, he could only sigh a few times.

Well, it's not unjust that his legs were broken.

Karun even suspected that Richard had let Memphis go to the snack shop yesterday and let him use the title of "Young Master Eisen" to add fuel to the fire and break his own legs.

"He's still young."

Memphis spoke up, "Actually, he's not..."

"Just give him a good beating."

Memphis was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "That's effective.""His talent is quite good, but he hasn't been able to fully realize it yet. I think he needs some sense of urgency."

"Yes, I understand. I know it's my fault. Because of my own reasons, I neglected to push him."

"But we also need to be careful with the methods. Although there are spells that can heal broken legs, and he has that bug in his body to help with recovery, it's still too unsightly. And if we keep beating him up, he might get used to it soon. It's possible that he might even start to enjoy it."

"What do you mean?"

"Some mental spells are quite good. They can torture people without leaving any scars, and they can also help him develop his potential."

"You make a good point!"

At this moment, Mr. Lemar came back with the dishes. When he saw Karun, he immediately smiled and said, "You haven't had dinner yet?"

"Not yet."

"Let's eat together!"

Mr. Memphis eventually gave up on his unfinished work and went to wash his hands. Then the three of them sat at the counter and had dinner. Mr. Lemar even packed some for Pick, who was sitting in the car.

After a simple dinner, Karun took another look at Serina. She was sitting on her bed, motionless. She was still in a "locked" state. Karun said a few encouraging words to her and left the room.

Mr. Memphis stayed here overnight last night, and he would probably stay overnight tonight as well.

Karun guessed that he had probably told him the truth, and the excuse of Richard not being selected by the family to take care of things was just an excuse. So, in order to avoid the family's complaints, he couldn't go home for the time being and decided to stay here temporarily.

With a judge presiding, Karun believed that the pottery gallery would definitely be very safe.

After saying goodbye, Karun got in the car and instructed Pick to drive to the Rayquell Theater.

There was no sign hanging on the theater. In fact, it was located in an alley, and the sign was placed vertically at the entrance. An old man sat there collecting tickets, 5 Leirs per ticket.

Karun bought a ticket and walked in. The space inside was not big, but there were quite a few people. There was still a quarter of an hour before the performance started, but there were already more than twenty people seated.

The theater mainly told stories, but it was not the kind of stand-up comedy in the future. The stories told here were usually not suitable for the public and mostly involved explicit content.

Karun didn't plan to listen to the stories here. He went straight to the backstage. The dressing room for performers was very small, with only three stools. There were two men putting on makeup inside.

"Excuse me, is Hidink here?"

"That's me, what's up?"

"The Bloodhound sent me to pick up the goods."

"Alright, wait a moment."

The middle-aged actor squatted down, took out a few bricks, and then took out an iron box from inside, handing it to Karun.

The iron box was rusty, and the remaining patterns on it were marked with "Children's Candy".

Karun nodded to Hidink, took the things and turned to leave.

"Hey, wait!" Hidink stopped Karun.

"What's wrong?"

"What about the points?"

"Points?"

"The remaining payment of 5000 Order Points!"

Upon hearing this sudden request, Karun realized that he didn't find it strange at all. This was something the captain would do.

"I don't have that many points on me. How about this, I'll have someone bring the points to you later."

"No, that won't do. You must give me the points before I can let you take the goods!"

Seeing this, Hidink was about to snatch the box back.

Sigh.

Karun helplessly summoned the Order Chains and locked Hidink's feet.

Hidink tried to grab Karun, but found that he couldn't move. Then, cold sweat instantly appeared on his face. It seemed that he had realized Karun's identity and dared not struggle anymore.

"Forget about the points, you can take the goods. Take them."

"I'll have the points delivered to you later, I won't deceive you."

This was a transaction between the captain and someone else. Karun wouldn't cheat on the points, although he also knew that the hope of getting back the 5000 Order Points after they were paid out was not great.

Karun turned around and walked out of the theater. After getting in the car, he instructed Pick, "Ask Alfred for 5000 points when we get back and give them to the person named Hidink."

"I got it, boss." Pick nodded and started the car.

Karun didn't hesitate to open the iron box. Inside was a pendant, but the pendant seemed to be able to be opened.

Having had the experience of accidentally breaking the "Order Whip Ring" before, Karun held the pendant in his hand and inspected it for a while, confirming that it was not made of plastic.

Using his fingertips to exert force along the seam, Karun opened the pendant, revealing a tooth inside.

Karun reached out and picked up the tooth, placing it in front of him. This tooth seemed ordinary no matter how he looked at it.

He closed his eyes and opened them again. Karun's eyes instantly turned red, revealing the Eye of the Dark Moon.

Pick, who was driving, felt his heart tremble and took a deep breath to stabilize his mind.

Karun closed his eyes again, and when he opened them, the Eye of the Dark Moon disappeared.

Well, for now, it seems that the Eye of the Dark Moon can only activate the power of the Dark Moon, and it can't be used for detailed observations.

Putting the tooth back into the pendant and closing the iron box, Karun twisted his neck and looked out the window. He saw a group of people wearing tall pointed hats and white robes, holding torches, parading in the streets.

This phenomenon had actually been happening for a long time, but now their numbers were getting larger and larger.

When the car drove through them, Karun sensed a chilling feeling. Clearly, they were all just ordinary people.After returning to the funeral home, Pik immediately went to support the points, while Karun walked into the study with the iron box in his hand.

Just as he sat down behind the desk, a white light appeared in the study, and the figure of the former owner of the house appeared.

Seeing him come out, Karun poured himself a glass of water and smiled, "It's been a long time since you came out."

The old man responded, "I wanted to come out last time, but there was someone standing behind you, so I didn't dare to come out."

"Who?"

"That person, your family's belief system."

"Oh, I see."

"Another reason is that I feel that I can no longer preach to you. I might be influenced by you. Every time I come out, I have to spend a long time calming myself down."

"Hehe, by the way, do you know what this is?"

Karun opened the box, opened the pendant, and picked up the tooth, facing the old man.

The things the captain wants are either related to bloodthirsty demons or to the light. If they are related to order, he doesn't need to deliberately go and get them.

After careful examination, the old man said, "This is a tooth."

"I know it's not a bullet."

"You can try to stimulate it with your own power. Of course, if it's just a souvenir, it may be damaged."

Karun shook his head and said, "I'm just curious. There's no need to know what it is."

"Young master."

Alfred's voice came from outside the study.

"Come in."

Alfred walked in and said, "Young master, the egg has been refined under Kevin's guidance. It is estimated that it will take a day. You should be able to make it to the final selection."

"I have the final selection at 8 o'clock the day after tomorrow, so I need to be at the basement of the academic building around 6 o'clock."

"That's enough time."

"But you need to consider one thing. If I transform the Heart of the Sea God at that time, will I fall asleep for two days and two nights like before?"

"I understand. I will immediately ask Kevin if there is a way to accelerate it. In any case, it should not affect your final selection, young master."

"Well, good."

At this time, Alfred looked at the tooth in Karun's hand.

"Do you know what this is?" Karun asked.

"Sir..." Alfred walked forward.

Karun handed him the tooth, and Alfred held it in both hands. Then, the demon eye of the radio monster was activated, and it was not blood red, but somewhat pink.

I remember that when Alfred's demon eye was activated before, it was a blood red color. This also shows that since following Karun, Alfred's body has changed, not only without the aura of a demon.

With the activation of the demon eye, the tooth in Alfred's palm seemed to be sensed and floated up.

Seeing this scene, Karun couldn't help but understand why so many people wanted Alfred's eyes.

Simply speaking, the demon eye is indeed much more practical than the dark moon eye in terms of its breadth of use. The dark moon eye, like the Darkmoon Blade, requires a bloodline to be used, and its value lies in its specialized field. But in the eyes of most people, it is worse than chicken ribs.

Suddenly, Alfred's body trembled, his eyes instantly turned black, his palm contracted, and he clenched the tooth, emitting a low roar from his throat!

In an instant,

The entire study,

No,

To be precise,

The entire funeral home, turned pitch black!

"Hoo... hoo... hoo..."

The sound of breathing came from in front of him, from the side of his body, and then from above his head, almost as if a ferocious beast was observing him in the darkness.

This feeling was extremely familiar.

Because Karun had just experienced it yesterday.

Phantom Beast - Kompasini!

...

"Hmm?"

Puerh shook her head.

"It's dark, meow?"

"Woof!"

Kevin's voice came, but Puerh couldn't see him.

"I know it's an illusion, but who did it? Karun is not good at illusions, and there is only one person in the family who is good at it. Oh, it couldn't be the radio fairy, right?"

"Woof!"

Fortunately, most of the people in the funeral home were already asleep, so the impact was not significant.

...

"Crack!"

A crisp sound came, the darkness dissipated, and everything returned to normal.

Karun, sitting behind the desk, saw Alfred kneeling on the floor of the study, blood dripping from the corners of his eyes.

The old man next to him exclaimed, "An illusion that can even affect mental imprints?"

It's over. The old man silently retreated and disappeared in this study.

"Sorry... young master, I was just controlled by it."

Alfred opened his eyes, his eyes filled with blood and exhaustion.

Karun asked, "Is this Kompasini's tooth?"

Sometimes, it feels more reliable than what is seen in reality.

Although there is a statue of the illusion beast Kompasini on the square outside the Tirasnu Temple, which is very tall and huge, like a dragon lying there, this tooth is no different from an ordinary person's tooth.

But... the finger of the God of Light can be hidden in Puerh's tail, and the evil god Ranedal, who once killed the Sea God, is now a dog.

Based on this, it is easy to accept that Kompasini's tooth is so small.

"What happened, what happened!"

Kevin's bald head directly pushed open the study door and rushed in with Puerh.

Alfred opened his palm, revealing the tooth inside.

Puerh stared at the tooth and observed it carefully.

Kevin tilted his neck and tried to see, but it was difficult because Puerh was sitting on his back.

Puerh jumped off Kevin's back, and Kevin was able to lean on Alfred's arm and carefully observe the tooth.

"You stupid dog, do you know what it is?"

"Woof!""Aren't you familiar with it?"

At this moment, the telephone on the desk rang. Karun picked it up, and the voice of the captain came from the other end.

"Hello, Karun, did you get the item?"

"Yes, I got it."

"Aren't you curious why I asked you to fetch a very ordinary tooth?"

"The tooth of Compasini, even as a souvenir, is worth fetching."

"Oh, did your dog tell you that?"

Actually, it was my radio.

"Captain, where did you get this tooth?"

"On the black market, the seller was selling it as the tooth of a bloodthirsty demon. There were two in total, I bought one on the spot, and the second one was pre-ordered, delivered today, which is the one I asked you to fetch.

That's how the black market is, often very valuable things are sold as worthless."

"Are you really on a mission outside, Captain?"

"Yes, but even without this mission, I would have found another excuse to send you."

"To avoid paying the balance?"

"Yes, cough... no."

"Then what?"

"I'm always mooching off your secrets, and you've recently stopped letting me mooch. Do you know how much pressure this puts on me?"

"So?"

Support us at pawread.com .

"So, I found a clue about the burial ground of the phantom beast Compasini. This is an existence personally sealed by the God of Order. Every part of this level of existence is a priceless treasure.

Are you interested?"

Karun noticed that although Alfred had just been controlled, he, who had already awakened, was still staring at the tooth in his palm, forgetting to put it back on his desk. This was not in line with Alfred's usual meticulousness.

Obviously, the phantom beast Compasini has an incredibly strong attraction for people like Alfred who follow the path of mental illusion.

Since following him, Alfred has hardly made any requests, but has always been very considerate in cooperating with him in work and life. It's rare that he likes and wants something, Karun feels that he should try to satisfy him as much as possible within his means.

"Captain, when are you coming back?"

"Secret... huh?

Oh, I'll be back the day after tomorrow, so I won't have time to send you to the exam, but I believe you'll be fine. And, there's no need to rush, I still need to further organize and dig into the clues here, and I need a lot of manpower, definitely have to wait until you've finished the final selection, or even until you've gone to the Gate of Reincarnation to carry out this excavation plan, so don't worry, you can just answer my question first, like you're very interested in this matter."

Having no choice, Karun could only satisfy the captain's mental needs.

"Captain, I'm very interested in this matter."

The other end of the phone coughed lightly and answered in a suppressed and deep voice:

"Secret."

"Captain, when you come back, tell me your current address."

"What for?"

"My dog has been shedding a lot of hair recently, I want to send him to your place for a few days."

Kevin: "......"
