A wisp of black mist overflowed from the dry corpse, and then entered through the wound on Lady Sidera's chest. This was a kind of induction, using one's own body as a container and one's own soul as a lubricant, using oneself as a carrier of consumption.
In fact, the totem inheritance of many tribes uses this method. Evil spirits are fostered in the bodies of generations of prophets, so the lifespan of the prophets is rarely long.
Accompanied by the continuous extraction of the black mist, although the body of the dry corpse did not become white, it showed a strange crystal clearness. He wanted to get up to stop it, but found that his already weak body had become even more fragile.
When he tried to get up with the help of the edge of the coffin, his palm, which had just exerted force, cracked and then disintegrated, as if it had become excessively brittle.
Before his death, he sealed the evil spirit with his own life, and in order to preserve its existence, the evil spirit had to maintain his body. Now, with the withdrawal of the evil spirit, this body lost its support.
"Darling, I don't know what's happening, but I hope you can stop."
"I can't stop," Lady Sidera looked at her "husband," "My husband is already dead, dead at the moment when the evil spirit was sealed ten years ago. Over the years, I have always felt that you were still alive, just sleeping here, because I could wake you up.
But now, I find that I have been deceiving myself. You are gone, and I have only left behind a trace. What's the difference between you and the old clothes my husband and I used to wear?
If used for nostalgia, clothes as relics are actually more appropriate than a corpse, aren't they?
Sigh,
My husband wasn't very good-looking to begin with, and after becoming a dry corpse, he's even uglier."
A grotesque face began to appear on Lady Sidera's chest, and a somewhat feminine voice came from within her:
"Oh, my dear lady, I was coerced by your husband for ten years. He cruelly tied me to him and wouldn't let me leave. I've always been forced, hehehe, my lady, please don't blame me."
"Evil Lord, I will give you freedom. I can even take you back to the Gangsen Peninsula, back to your totem homeland. But before that, you must serve me for a year."
"Of course, my lady. Your body fascinates me much more than your husband's body, which has long been drained. But I have one condition."
"Speak."
"I need to feed. I am too weak, and I need the flesh and soul of a priest to replenish the past ten years I've lost."

"Can a priest of order be used as a sacrifice?"
"I'm so scared, hahaha, my lady, I'm really scared, but I'm also excited. It's a forbidden taste, tsk... I want to taste it."
"I will help you hunt down the priest of order, and you don't need to worry about anything else. My current identity can protect our safety to the greatest extent."
"I look forward to it, my dear lady."
The voice disappeared, and the grotesque face on Lady Sidera's chest began to change, turning into a bright red rose.
Although it seemed a bit tacky, it also seemed very normal.
The dry corpse sat in the coffin, and the sound of his body crumbling filled his ears.
"Darling, I don't know what's happening, but if you're lost, please wake up from this state as soon as possible."
"Maybe I am really lost, but it's like being drunk, there's no end before completely passing out."
Lady Sidera's hand caressed the red rose tattoo on her chest, and her other hand continued to stroke her belly, saying:
"I have a feeling that I am pregnant. In my body, another life is being nurtured. Can't we use our deaths to cultivate new existence? Can't I use them to cultivate my new life?"
The dry corpse began to chant, and a faint halo of order flowed in front of him, a warning signal.
Lady Sidera reached out and grabbed the dry corpse's head, applying a little force, and the dry corpse began to disintegrate faster.
"You are not him."
Finally, the dry corpse completely disintegrated.
Lady Sidera raised her head, tears in her eyes:
"Although I know that even if he really came back to life, he wouldn't agree with what I'm doing. He would definitely stop me."
Flames ignited in Lady Sidera's palm, and she slapped the coffin, causing the flames of order to spread and engulf the entire basement.
Everything was being burned, but nothing changed.
When Lady Sidera wiped the tears from her eyes and walked to the door of the basement, she closed it.
"Bang!"
Everything in the basement was destroyed, covered in thick dust as if it hadn't been cleaned for years.
Picking up her bag, Lady Sidera walked to the small truck at the door, threw the bag in, and then sat in the driver's seat, starting the truck."Mom, when are you planning to take your daughter out for her first meal?"
The voice of the evil spirit sounded, apparently, she had been able to hear the outside voices all along.
"Over the years, have all the things I said to my husband ended up in your ears?"
"Yes, because your husband has long been dead, and the one who has been living in his body is actually me. Although I have been sealed and too weak to do anything, I can still listen to your confessions, Mom."
"I know you want to harm me. I know that my ultimate fate is to be swallowed by you when your power is restored to a certain extent. I know I can't control you for too long...
But I don't care.
Because I want to do something. I want revenge. I want to tell them that even as a follower of order, betraying the order comes with a price."
"Mom, you don't have to be so blunt. I still hope to have more emotional exchanges with you."
"I want to be free. Please, hurry up and let me walk towards liberation in their desperate screams."
"I will, Mom."
"You be silent. Wein is the sanctuary of the Order of the Gods. Since our next target is to hunt down the priests of the Order, we must be as cautious as possible."
"Yes, I understand. I will listen to Mom, because it was my carelessness that gave your husband the opportunity to seal me."
The voice disappeared, and the red rose on Mrs. Siedra's chest also disappeared at this moment.
As she drove into the next block, Mrs. Siedra saw Karun walking ahead.
Mrs. Siedra immediately smiled, took out a cigarette and a lighter from her body, lit a thin cigarette, and exhaled a faint scent of mint mixed with nicotine, stimulating her taste buds and brain.
Exhaling a smoke ring, Mrs. Siedra muttered to herself:
"Perhaps he's a good choice for the first target. An outstanding young man of the Order, must have been highly regarded by the Order, and he's quite handsome. It would be quite ceremonial to make him the first meal for my daughter."
At this point, Karun had already reached the entrance of the funeral home, and he seemed to have a feeling. He turned around and looked far behind, where a small truck could be vaguely seen parked.
Mrs. Siedra did not avoid it, but continued to drive past. As she passed by Karun, she waved with the cigarette in her hand to greet him.
Karun frowned slightly. For some reason, he had a feeling that Mrs. Siedra was different from before.
But he couldn't pinpoint exactly what was different, but he still politely smiled at Mrs. Siedra.
"What a handsome young man, and his behavior is quite decent." Mrs. Siedra's smile grew even stronger, and then she saw many purple-haired people running out of the funeral home, crying around Karun.
There was even a purple-haired girl who directly hugged Karun.
Mrs. Siedra had always thought that her butt had become much bigger since she gained weight, but this purple-haired girl's butt was even bigger than hers now.
And yet, the girl wasn't fat.
"Hmm..."
Mrs. Siedra pursed her lips and, very unethically, threw the half-burnt cigarette out of the window, sighing:
"Never mind, I won't choose him."
...
Alfred always did things without bothering to cover them up, especially this kind of act of helping someone and deliberately hiding it from the other party. Alfred simply didn't bother to do it.
He bluntly told Hilly that he was sent by the young master to save her and her family.
Why not let the maid know? Why not let the maid be grateful? Why not let the maid be devoted to the young master and this family?
Alfred couldn't figure out what was wrong with doing it this way, so he didn't bother to think about it.
As soon as Karun returned home, he was hugged by Hilly.
After the crisis last night, Hilly was very panicked.
And Alfred not only "spoke frankly," but also did some artistic processing, such as in his statement, it was the young master who asked him to save Hilly, and then the young master and himself went out.
The simple maid naturally assumed that the young master had also gone to save her last night, and since the young master hadn't returned all night, he must have been in danger.
Her mind was still very confused, and she hadn't realized how terrifying her own young master could be, even when Mr. Alfred had kneaded those two white-robed men in front of her like dough.
After all, Mr. Alfred had always been respectful to the young master.
For various reasons, the maid broke through her identity restrictions, and when she saw Karun, she pounced on him, crying and expressing gratitude, while Hilly's family members kept expressing their gratitude to Karun.
After all, if it weren't for Karun giving Hilly a salary much higher than that of an ordinary maid, they would have had a very difficult time in the past few months.Puerh sat on Kevin's back, muttering, "The big butt should hold Karun in reverse, so that it can highlight its greatest advantage."
Kevin rolled his eyes and smiled, accustomed to Puerh's adult jokes.
After parting ways with Hilly, Karun prepared to take a bath.
Hilly immediately went to prepare the young master's clothes. Just as she was about to take them in, Alfred intercepted her.
"I'll take them in for the young master."
"Mr. Alfred, why not let me do it?"
"The young master is bathing, and I'm afraid you might do something out of line in your emotional state."
Hilly stuck out her tongue and handed the clothes to Alfred.
Alfred walked into the master bedroom and placed the clothes on the rack outside the washroom door.
"Young master, I took the liberty of bringing Hilly's family back."
"Did you kill anyone?"
"I killed three, young master. Please punish me."
"Only three?"
"Because I sensed something was off."
"You did well."
Alfred was stunned, not sure what aspect the young master was praising him for.
In the washroom, Karun sat in the bathtub with a hot towel on his face and asked, "How do you plan to accommodate her family? It seems like quite a few of them."
Saving people is one thing, but it's not appropriate to keep them all in one's home after saving them.
"Young master, I suggest arranging for them to stay in the Allen apartment. Once your team moves in there, they can take care of cleaning and other household services, as well as running errands."
"Okay, let's arrange it that way and have them move out soon."
"Yes, young master."
Alfred left the master bedroom, and at that moment, Puerh rode out from behind the study door on Kevin's back.
"It's not convenient to ogle at someone's butt when their family is around, is it?"
Karun ignored the cat, which sometimes talked a lot.
"But I think it would be more exciting to admire it openly when her family is around, don't you think, little Karun?"
"I just learned a new way to grill fish and had it for lunch. It tasted good."
"Oh, how could my honest and selfless little Karun possibly sneak a peek at someone's butt? It must be a misunderstanding caused by sand in the eyes!"
...
After taking a bath, Karun sat in the study, and Puerh lay on the desk.
Karun held out his hand, and Puerh understood, walking over to hold a pen that Karun often used and placing it in Karun's palm. After Karun gripped it, Puerh carefully removed the pen cap and then inserted it back onto the end of the pen.
"We can't grill fish tonight, let's do it tomorrow night. We need to prepare a day in advance and choose a big fish."
"Oh, it's okay. I never fear waiting for delicious fish."
At that moment, the phone rang, and Karun picked up the receiver.
"Hello, is this the Pavaro Funeral Home? I'm looking for Karun."
The voice of Murie came from the other end of the line.
"This is Karun."
"Ah, Captain, I'll be arriving in York City tomorrow morning."
"Have you informed your family?"
"No, they don't know yet, but I found out that you've transferred my affiliation to the new Order of the Whip team in York City. I'm here to report in accordance with the command of the Church of the Gods."
"You plan to leave without saying goodbye?"
"I've already said my goodbyes. Before I go to the Valley of Reincarnation, right?"
"Okay, what time specifically tomorrow morning?"
"Eight o'clock."
"And you call that tomorrow morning?"
"I'll come by myself to avoid troubling you."
"It won't trouble me. I'll have my manservant pick you up and take you directly to the apartment I've prepared for you. Come have breakfast with me at eight in the morning."
"Okay, Captain. See you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow."
Karun hung up the phone, and Puerh spoke up, "Oh, I almost forgot, Mass and Blanch are also arriving tomorrow, but they'll be here at noon."
"In that case, we can inform Eslie, Bart, and Ventula to report as well. We can organize a gathering tomorrow night."
"Shouldn't it be called a meeting?" Puerh raised a cat paw. "We should make a banner, 'A Great Era Begins Here!'"
"We should also inform Eisen and Richard, as well as Philomena."
Karun opened a drawer and took out a black crow.
"You dare to take in a madman from the Felscher family."
"They didn't give me much room to refuse, and the price was good. By the way, you and Kevin should hurry and set up the three communication arrays needed for the Order of the Whip team's office at home."
"That's a small matter. The radio fairy will go buy the materials in the afternoon, and the dumb dog and I can handle it in two days. Then I can have the dumb dog be responsible for monitoring the communication arrays."
"Do you know? Ever since you shared your experiences within the Wheel of Reincarnation, that silly dog sleeps with one eye open at night. It's terrified you'll drag it out to pluck its fur and stew it."
"Is it really that exaggerated?"
"Heh, I think the silly dog is putting itself in your shoes. It probably only takes to heart about twenty or thirty percent of what you say to it, so it assumes that what you tell it is also only twenty or thirty percent true."
"Heh."
"Alright, alright, I'm off to prepare for afternoon tea. I'm sure Big Butt will put extra effort into it today."
"Go ahead."
"Or maybe, I'll just have it in the study and later have her come in for you to take another look. I believe she'll be able to exhibit more initiative today, like a little shake, a little sway, or maybe a tighter squeeze."
Karun tapped Puerh's head with the end of his fountain pen.
"Ouch!" Puerh, clutching her head, complained discontentedly, "I don't believe that those images didn't pop into your head when I said those things just now. Humph, hypocritical man."
"After welcoming the team members tomorrow night, I plan to drive back to the Allen Estate overnight. Do you want to come with me?"
"I won't go back. I'll be working on the communication array with the silly dog. Why don't you stay as well? With the team members gathered, there's a lot to do. If you drive back, you might only stay for one night, enjoy my great-great-great-great-niece's stockings and legs, and then have to rush back early in the morning. It's too tiring."
"I'm afraid I'll have even less time later. If there's a chance, I should still go back and visit."
"Heh." Puerh gave Karun a knowing look.
Then another tap of the fountain pen landed on the cat's head.
"It's not 'meow', I'm just really curious, can that kind of need really be so intense?"
"I'm going to see her; it's what I should do."
"I know, she's your fiancée, you have the legal right to do so."
Karun picked up the fountain pen again, and Puerh quickly retreated, asking, "Back to the previous question, can it really be that intense?"
"Have you never had that kind of experience?"
"No, when I was human, I never thought about that stuff. The thought of getting naked and sleeping in the same bed with another man after getting married made me want to roast that man on the spot."
"Have you never had a heat period as a cat?"
"Are you talking about the kind that yowls at night, like a baby crying out?"
"Yes."
"I've seen it, but I think it's so silly."
"You could discuss this with Kevin."
"Discuss what with it?"
"It only knows about love, not mating; you're the opposite."
"Heh, meow, I get it. You've been setting this up for so long just to blame me for teasing you about Big Butt."
At that moment, the phone rang again.
Karun picked up the phone: "Hello, this is Pavaro Funeral Services."
"Karun, it's Neo."
"Captain, are you safe now?"
"Call me Lieutenant."
"Lieutenant, are you safe now?"
"No... come save me... I can't hold on much longer."

More to come tonight, I'll strive to finish writing and send it out before midnight.
