Chapter 330 – Cautious driver

I just bought your old house, and now you have to hand over those two "children" downstairs to me?

Karun suddenly realized that there seemed to be a problem here, a big problem.

This is getting a bit too illogical!

"It's not suitable for them to go with me to such a remote place at their young age. They won't be able to stay there and won't be willing to go."

So, thank you for your hard work, but I still have one request. These are two good saplings. Whether it's for you or for the future of the sect, I hope you can take care of them.

"I will."

Karun could only answer like this.

"Do you think the same?" Mr. Will smiled.

Karun leaned back a bit, making his posture more "soft". This was a means of communication because he really wanted to figure out where the "logical disorder" was through further communication.

"I think many of them want to revive the sect, not the light."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Will's expression froze, and tears actually welled up in his eyes.

His expression didn't seem fake, because there was no prelude. If he wanted to use this method, he should have entered the "performance" state from the beginning.

Combined with the feeling the old man in the study gave him, Karun gradually believed that Mr. Will in front of him was really as described in his spiritual imprint, a kind person.

Perhaps, a bit more pure.

However, in specific terms, there were actually significant differences in temperament and appearance between Mr. Will in front of him and the one in his study, as well as differences in skin color and facial features.

The presentation of the spiritual imprint should still be very different from reality. One was the "self" imagined in the spiritual realm, and the other was the real self. They couldn't be equated.

Mr. Will took a deep breath and adjusted his emotions, saying, "You are really good. This is actually the place where I have always felt uncomfortable. So later on, I distanced myself from them. When I learned that they were coming, I simply left early. I really didn't want to mix with them. I would feel uncomfortable."

Taking a tissue, Mr. Will wiped the corners of his eyes and continued, "For this, I often feel guilty. I wonder if it's because of my arrogance and pride that I turned away from them. Does this also mean that I turned away from the light?"

"No, you didn't." Karun responded, "It's not you who turned away from the light. It's them, and even those who came before them."

"Those who came before them?"

Karun spread his hands and said, "This is also the reason why the Light Sect perished. Did the light go wrong for you?"

"No, it didn't." Mr. Will replied firmly.

"Then it's the people under the light who went wrong, so the Light Sect perished."

"Your way of deduction is unique, but it makes sense."

The light can never be wrong. This is the last dam in the hearts of the believers. If even this needs to be doubted, what is there to believe in the light?

Under this premise, the destruction of the sect can only be attributed to problems with the people. It's a simple deduction of two minus one.

"But there is another possibility." Mr. Will seemed to be very interested in chatting with Karun, "They all believe that it was the loss of the great god of light that led to the demise of our Light Sect. What do you think?"

Karun answered, "Recently, there have been rumors in the religious circle that the god of order has abandoned the Order Sect. For this, he even brought down thunderous punishment, causing a shock in the Order Temple. This is not a secret."

"Yes, I have heard about this too."

"But do you think that the Order Sect now has the same trend of destruction as my Light Sect back then?"

"No." Mr. Will answered decisively, "After the 'First Day War', no one dares to doubt this."

The Order Sect has shown its muscles. If even the Order Sect is about to perish, then the existing orthodox sects will all be finished.

"We always attribute all success to the great gods, but at the same time, we are used to putting the ultimate failure on the gods. We never dare to seriously examine ourselves.

To ask ourselves what true light should look like."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Will frowned. He raised his hand, and for a moment, white light covered the entire study, isolating the eavesdropping of Helen and Vern outside.

With just this simple gesture, Karun sensed the powerful realm of the opponent's soul, because what flowed was not the aura of magic, but the power of the soul!

Using the power of the soul to create a barrier was as extravagant as using gold to repair tiles.

"I'm curious. This is our first meeting, why do you dare to speak to me so... so... so..."

Mr. Will was pondering an adjective, wanting to show the seriousness of the matter while expressing his position and attitude, and also needing to be affable.

"...so frankly."

"Just like you just did."

"What did I just do?"

"We have a fate."

"No, no, no, I thought I was already deviating from the mainstream, but now I vaguely feel that you are standing on the opposite side of the mainstream."

"You understood my second sentence. Few people in the sect are willing to deal with me, and few people can deal with me."

"Yes, I admit that from the moment you entered this villa, pushed open the study door, and sat in front of me, talking to me for so long, I couldn't sense any aura from you. Your spiritual realm is not worse than mine, only higher."

You misunderstood this. The main reason is that I am wearing my grandfather's mask.Karun couldn't help but recall the scene in that space where he turned into a large glowing sphere overlooking a crowd of small spheres.

"Do you remember the last words of the last crazy Pope?"

Karun changed the topic because he didn't want to discuss soul power with the person in front of him anymore.

"Of course I remember."

"I often think about his words."

"Oh, what insights do you have?"

"Sometimes, we consider people we can't understand as crazy, and sometimes, we consider the only person we can understand as crazy."

Mr. Will's hands began to tremble, his body sitting in the chair started to twist slightly, his facial expression became unnatural, and his eyes blinked irregularly.

At this moment, in the face of this topic, he not only lost control of his expression, but he even felt like running away.

At this point, Karun discovered a similarity between him and the person in his own study.

"Please, stop it, really, stop it!" Mr. Will raised his hand towards Karun.

"You should scold me, but you didn't."

In the eyes of the remnants of light, the last crazy Pope was the final straw that crushed the Light God's religion. When a Pope said these words, it was a devastating blow to the foundation of the religion.

"Let's stop here, really." Mr. Will smiled bitterly, "I beg you."

"Okay." Karun agreed.

"Will you pass on your thoughts to those two children?"

"No."

"No?"

"A door, there is light outside, but they have to open a crack themselves. Otherwise, no matter how much I say, it won't make any sense. They will still firmly believe that it is pitch black outside the door."

"Hehe, Basha was right in her letter. You really have a strong personality."

Basha?

Karun instantly understood in his heart.

Basha had long been recruited by the captain as a errand runner. Was she the one who contacted Mr. Will?

So,

The person sitting under him should be the captain!

Now, recalling the initial conversation, it was clear that they were not on the same wavelength, but they seamlessly connected.

"Hehehe..."

Karun laughed, he couldn't hold it in, and he laughed recklessly.

After laughing for a long time, Karun finally stopped, shrugged, and said, "This is our helplessness, but at the same time, it is our fortune, isn't it?"

"You are a good person," Mr. Will said, "because I can feel that you know what true light looks like, so deep down in your heart, you must be kind. I trust you with those two children."

"I will let them live peacefully in York City, temporarily forgetting that they are part of the religious cult. Only by taking off their masks can they truly touch and perceive the light."

At this point, Karun stood up, indicating that he was leaving.

One reason was that he already knew the "truth" and had taken the captain's place in advance.

The second reason was that he was worried the captain would come knocking.

Although his car was parked outside on the road and Kevin was inside, according to the captain's character, he would definitely observe the surroundings before coming to the appointment. But he couldn't rule out the possibility that he might be lazy today and skip this step.

"There is something I hope you can investigate for me. I don't have enough time."

"You."

"My previous home, the Allen Apartments in the Blue Bridge Community, this is my address information. Before I left, I asked a real estate agent to sell my house because I didn't want it to be too empty.

The house was sold, but the person who bought my house didn't seem to live there for long and moved out."

"Isn't that normal?" Karun asked.

"He took my books with him."

"It seems that he also likes reading."

"And distorted the spiritual imprints I left on those books."

"Distorted?"

"Yes, I know it still exists, but I can no longer perceive it. So, it wasn't erased, but distorted, or... contaminated. I'm leaving here tomorrow and don't have time to continue the investigation, so I hope you can help me with this."

"Okay, I promise you."

"Thank you." Mr. Will took out a card along with the address card and pushed it in front of Karun. "This card is the key to my anonymous safe deposit box in the black market private bank. Inside, I have some materials that are still useful. Consider it my thanks for helping me with this investigation. Please accept it."

"Okay."

Karun accepted the card without any hesitation.

"Do you need to call those two children in for a talk?"

"I would rather spend some more time reading before I rush to the port tomorrow morning. I don't like reading on the ship because I don't feel at ease. They know who they should follow. Please take them away."

"Okay, I understand."

Karun walked out of the study, ready to open the door, but he heard Mr. Will's voice behind him:

"I will write to you, write to Basha, and let her pass it on to you. You don't have to reply to me if you're busy."

"I understand."

Karun opened the door, walked out, and turned around to see Fennon and Helen standing at the staircase.

The initial meeting was a bit awkward, but when Karun approached them again, they both bowed to him.

Karun didn't return the gesture, but asked, "Do you have any luggage to bring?"

Fennon replied, "When we woke up, even the clothes on our bodies were almost rotten."

Karun reached into his pocket, hmm, he didn't bring any money either.

However, there was money in his car, Alfred would put cash there. But it was inappropriate to take them to his car, and how to arrange them specifically was a more troublesome problem.

Huh, what am I thinking?

Karun realized he was thinking in the wrong direction. Mr. Will called them "children," but they were already adults.

"You should find a place to settle down in the city first. Remember, you are not allowed to use your powers. You must rely on your own abilities to earn a living in Rael. This is my test for you.""Every Sunday night from now on, you can come to this villa. If I feel that you have passed my test, I will come out to meet you and take you to a new place."

Faced with such a test requirement, Vernon and Helen were somewhat at a loss.

But they immediately nodded and said, "We are willing to accept the test!"

"Then we look forward to seeing you next time."

Karun descended the stairs.

Helen and Vernon bowed their heads to see Karun off, then the two walked to the door of the study. Helen stepped forward and knocked on the door.

A voice came from inside the study:

"This is your luck, praise the light."

……

After leaving the villa, Karun deliberately took several detours, using the anti-tracking method given to him by the captain to confirm that no one was following him. Only then did he "remove" his mask and return to his own appearance. He took a detour back to where he had parked, but he didn't see his car.

Where was the car?

At this moment, Karun saw his second-hand Pons driving over. Through the windshield, he could clearly see that the one driving the car was Kevin.

Karun took two steps back, fearing that Kevin might not be able to brake in time.

But it turned out that his worries were unnecessary. Kevin used his hind legs to step on the brake and stopped steadily in front of him.

Even more, he knew how to brake gently, not stopping the car too abruptly or shakily.

Sitting in the passenger seat was Neo.

Neo rolled down the car window, looked at Karun, and laughed, "I've been out for a ride with this guy."

Kevin had already obediently moved away from the driver's seat and jumped to the back seat.

Karun got into the driver's seat and started the car.

Neo said directly, "Your eating manners are a bit ugly. I've been brewing a little secret here, and you came to dig it out in advance?"

"Captain, it's a misunderstanding."

Karun explained the situation to Neo, including what had happened in the villa earlier.

"Heh, I was planning to put them in the squad to supplement the weakened squad strength after you extra members left. But you arranged for them to experience life?"

"We're leaving?"

"Richard and Memphis, they're definitely going to your new squad, aren't they?"

"Yes."

"Heh."

"But, Captain, it doesn't seem appropriate for you to recruit them into the Whip of Order squad."

"People change in different environments. It mainly depends on who leads the team. But now all these are meaningless. Consider those two as my gift to you. You deal with them. After you establish a new squad and they feel that they have been trained well by you, you can pull them into your new squad."

"Well, we'll see about that later."

"So, as the future squadron leader, I can't interfere with your team affairs anymore?"

"Captain, you're being too polite."

"Will is a marginal figure, but no one dares to underestimate him on the side of the remnants of the Light."

"I can feel it, he's very powerful."

"Alright, you go back. After all, you have to go to the Dingge District tomorrow night. Ah, it's good to be young, with unlimited possibilities."

"Captain, let me take you home first."

"No, the thing I was supposed to be busy with tonight has been solved by you. It's still early, I'll go to the cemetery to see her."

With that, the captain got out of the car and turned to leave.

After watching the captain's figure disappear into the darkness, Karun turned to look at Kevin sitting in the back seat:

"Are you driving?"

Kevin wagged his tail excitedly.

Karun moved to the passenger seat, and Kevin jumped back to the driver's seat, excitedly starting the car.

The car moved steadily, neither too fast nor too slow. Kevin handled it well, but when he drove, he couldn't sit down, he could only lie on the steering wheel.

Karun turned his head and looked out the car window.

The night view of York City had a unique flavor, especially when entering the Blue Bridge community from the rich area. The huge contrast was very clear, but they still appeared in the same city, opposing and blending with each other.

Karun withdrew his gaze and also withdrew his aimless emotions. Looking at Kevin holding the steering wheel, he reminded:

"Be careful, the road ahead is not easy."

"Woof!"

Kevin carefully stared at the road ahead, constantly checking the rearview mirror. Every time he passed an intersection, he would slow down and look left and right to check the traffic situation.

He was very careful and cautious.

Karun laughed,

Because he suddenly felt that his journey had been the same.

Then he stopped laughing,

Heh,

What a terrible metaphor.
