Chapter 60 What a great feeling!

"Thud!" The body of the man was thrown into the rectangular pit inside the hearse. Alfred got off the car, closed the door of the hearse, and took out a stack of money from his pocket. He handed it to the woman in front of him who had just helped him cover and carry the body of Chase. The woman still held the iron box that she had finally pried open, but there were not as many coins inside as the stack in Alfred's hand. However, the woman pushed Alfred's hand away and said, "This is what I should do."

As she spoke,The woman leaned against the car door and turned her head to ask:"Do you have a cigarette?""Yes."Alfred didn't actually smoke, but the first time he met Karen, the scene of the great being leading him and Mrs. Molly to smoke and laugh together was truly shocking to him;So, he always carried cigarettes with him, ready to offer one to the young master whenever he had a spare moment.If in the future, his image on the mural is shown offering cigarettes to the great being, he would be very satisfied, and the believers who come to admire the mural would surely think that he has a very close relationship with the great being.The woman lit her cigarette, took a puff, and said:"I made a wish to God, and He answered my prayers."Alfred laughed and said:

"Maybe it wasn't God who heard it."The woman shrugged and said:"Whoever heard it, for me, they are like a godly presence, aren't they?""You make a good point, but do you really not want this money? After all, you just lost your husband.""You don't understand the Chaser people."The woman left these words behind, holding onto the iron box as she walked away, saying:"We don't actually like poverty, but we truly love wandering."Watching the woman's figure disappear into the distance, Alfred muttered to himself: "I used to think the same way."But now..."It's great to have a position."

If it weren't for presenting the identity certificate issued by Dis in front of the powerful Order of the Gods, the best outcome for oneself would be to pick a suitable eyepatch at the night market.Alfred walked back to the circus tent from the parking lot. There were no ticket inspectors at the entrance now, so he could enter without a ticket. Since the performance was already halfway through, the audience inside might come out for a break or some fresh air, so there was no need to check tickets anymore.As he entered,Miss Mandira was just emerging from the water tank with her arms raised high, and the atmosphere among the audience was extremely lively.The middle aisle was crowded with people, so Alfred could only enter from the edge and then make his way towards the VIP area.As he passed by the edge of the stage, Alfred glanced at Miss Mandira in the water tank with some confusion. She gave him a strange feeling.But he was still hunched over, afraid of blocking the view of the audience, so he didn't have time to stop and use his charm demon eye to see anything.When he was almost at the VIP area, Alfred saw the young master burying his head in Miss Eunice's arms.Ah, truly a great being, making such quick progress.In fact, aside from other abnormal factors, Karen alone already gave Alfred a different feeling.

He is very calm and composed, and handles everything with ease. He is very rational, but never rejects his emotional side. This state of mind is usually seen in older people who are more open-minded, as they are closer to death and can see the true gains and losses. As he approached the VIP area, Alfred was about to raise his hand to greet the young master and signal his return, when he saw the young master, who had been facing Miss Eunice, suddenly turn his head towards the location of the water tank on the stage. There was a coldness in the young master's eyes. At the same time, the young master's lips moved and he uttered a phrase. Alfred's profession on the surface was a radio host, and he had a natural talent for language, even having a deep understanding of lip reading. "Go...die?" What does this mean?

Not Markley language.Suddenly, there was a commotion on the stage.Alfred immediately turned his head to look at the stage and saw the performer, Miss Mandira, putting the magician into the water tank.The other audience members thought it was part of the second act and cheered loudly.But Alfred could tell that something was off from the details.He quickly covered his left eye with his hand and it immediately turned red. Through the gap between his fingers, he saw the black aura emanating from the woman in the long dress inside the water tank.It was a... corpse!Alfred looked back at his young master and the image of his previous actions and mouth movements resurfaced in his mind:"Go... die?"He still didn't know exactly what these two syllables meant, but he could sense that they were directed towards someone.

No,It's not that language,It's the language of that holy song!Alfred immediately realized that the language the young master had just spoken was a curse from the evil god!At this moment, Alfred's heart was completely filled with shock.But then,There was a chill in his spine.Fortunately,Fortunately, the old man had already left this place. If he were here now, wouldn't he also sense it?Although the other party definitely had their own means of insight, such as using the succubus eye to see through, Alfred was aware that these powerful beings, even if they were not deliberately investigating, had a keen perception beyond the understanding of ordinary people.

"Ah..."Alfred's knees went weak and he instinctively reached out to grab Lunt's shoulder before sitting down.It was close,so close,thankfully the old man left,if he hadn't, would he have discovered the young master's identity?No matter how powerful an existence is, when they first descend, they are still weak and can encounter unexpected situations, which is why they need attendants;The choice of attendants directly affects whether the great existence can safely pass through their initial period of weakness.Fortunately,the young master's judgement is extremely accurate, truly a great existence, because he chose an exceptional attendant, Mr. Dis.

"Even so... Alfred instinctively leaned forward and looked in the direction of the young master; danger was everywhere. On stage, the circus staff pushed the water tank backstage, leaving the audience confused. Was this the finale of the show? But soon, when several flaming hoops were brought onto the stage, all eyes and attention were drawn to them. The new acrobatic act continued. "Let's go," Karen said to Eunice. Mandira was already a lifeless body, and now the magician had also become one. There was definitely something wrong with this circus, as its operations had surpassed the level of mere acrobatics. But Karen had no intention of exploring it now. Even though Alfred was here, he couldn't give her a hundred percent sense of security."

"Plus, Mina and four other children, as well as Eunice, are here, so it's not a time to show off.First, let's safely send Eunice and the children home, then I'll go report to Dis and let him handle the investigation.That's the safest way.As for the regret of not being able to finish watching the circus performance, well, let them regret it."Okay." Eunice nodded, thinking that Karen wasn't feeling well. She immediately turned to Mina next to her and said, "Mina, let's leave and go home."Although Mina wanted to continue watching the performance, she obediently nodded and passed the message to Chrisara and the others."Uncle Alf, my brother said we have to go home now.""Okay, okay." Alfred couldn't wait to leave this place. "Follow me, we'll go around and exit from the front.""Okay."Alfred led the way, with the children following behind him. Karen also held Eunice's hand as they walked towards the stage and then headed towards the corner.

But at this moment, a large ball that was originally thought to be a decoration suddenly cracked open from above, and a dense flurry of paper pieces poured out like snowflakes.The microphone voice sounded:"This is tonight's lucky draw. Anyone who gets a blue paper can come to our stage to claim the prize, which is a large colorful lollipop.First come, first served!"In front of Alfred, several circus staff pushed out a vending cart filled with lollipops.At this time, the whole audience seemed to be searching for the paper pieces on the ground. After all, there were many children in the audience, and the children themselves were looking for them, and their parents were also helping them. There were also many people who were looking for them for the sake of a prize or just for fun.Sara, Rent and Chris also wanted to bend down and search for the paper pieces on the ground, but Karen yelled at them:"Get up and get out!"The children had never seen their brother so angry before, so they dared not look for any more paper pieces and followed Alfred to continue walking forward.The lollipop cart that could have blocked their way was kicked hard by Alfred and forced to stop. Then he pulled them along and waited until the children passed before letting go and catching up with them again.

"I found it!""I found it too!"A group of children ran towards the candy cart, holding up pieces of paper. There were also many adults mixed in with them.Those who rushed over in a hurry, Alfred deliberately used his arms to push them away, regardless of whether they would fall or not. He just didn't want the crowd to disperse the line behind him.Finally, everyone walked out of the circus tent.Karen began to count the number of people, four children, none missing."Let's go back to the hearse first," Karen said.Alfred immediately said, "Master, you can take the girls back in my car, I'll drive the hearse."Karen hesitated for a moment, glanced at Alfred, and then nodded.Everyone walked to the parking lot, Karen opened the door of Alfred's Suntan car and gestured for the children to sit in the back seat. Fortunately, the four children were not fat and managed to squeeze in.

After closing the car door, Eunice smiled at Karen and sat in the passenger seat. She said to Karen, "I can also drive.""It's okay, I can do it," Karen replied.Karen opened the driver's door but didn't immediately get in. She looked towards Alfred, who was standing next to the hearse. After nodding at him, Karen took one last glance at the circus tent before getting into the car and starting the engine.The car quickly drove onto the road. Because Karen had a serious expression since they left, the four children in the back seat didn't talk and even Lunt and Chris fell asleep quickly.Eunice sat quietly next to Karen the whole time. Whenever Karen checked the rearview mirror, Eunice would also take a quick glance at her.Maybe it was because they wanted to get home quickly, or maybe the experience at the circus was still affecting them, but Karen drove faster than usual.After entering the city, Karen drove onto Mine Street first because it was closer. Originally, Karen planned to personally take Sarah home, but tonight, Roth seemed to be waiting for his daughter to come home, so his shoe repair stall was still open even though it was late."I'm sorry, Mr. Karen, Sarah must have caused you trouble again today.""No, Sarah is very well-behaved. I'll go home first.""Please drive safely."

Next, Rhein Street is closer to here than Meineck Street, but Karen still drove to Meineck Street first. Mina got out of the car with her younger brother and sister, and the three of them said goodbye to Eunice together:"Goodbye, teacher.""Goodnight, teacher.""You should also rest early."Lunt yawned and mumbled, "Teacher and brother, you should also rest early."Eunice heard it, but didn't say anything and sat back in the car. Karen started the car again and drove Eunice home. Maybe it was because the children were safely home, Karen's mood finally calmed down."I'm sorry I couldn't let you watch the performance in its entirety."Karen wouldn't apologize for her behavior during the performance. First, she wasn't in her right mind at the time, and second, what was the point of apologizing? To promise to never do it again?

The girl didn't say anything, it would be boring if I bring it up again."No, it's okay, your health is more important.""It's not because of my health, but because I fell into the water when I was a child. That experience left a great psychological shadow on me, so after seeing that performance, my emotions suddenly got out of control."Karen would rather let Eunice think that she has a mental problem than let her think that there is something wrong with her body."So that's it, I understand now." Eunice smiled and said, "I had a great time today, Karen.""Me too."Karen felt like she was lying when she said that. Eunice went to see the circus for the live performance, while he was arranged for a full-scale immersive experience tonight.After dropping Eunice off at her doorstep, Karen hugged her as usual and watched her walk back home. Karen then got back into his car and drove past Piajia's house, where the lights were off, and Mrs. Simor's house next to it was also dark.Karen drove back home and heard Lunt, Chris, and the others on the second floor chatting about the barbecue in the afternoon and the circus in the evening. Aunt Mary and Aunt Winnie were accompanying them. When they saw Karen coming up, Aunt Mary immediately got up and asked, "Karen, come have some late-night snack."

"Thank you aunt, but I'm not hungry. I'll go talk to grandpa for a bit.""Grandpa went out, Ah Fu just came back and went upstairs to look for him, then grandpa went out with Ah Fu.""Oh, I see. Alright, I'll take a shower and rest. I'm a bit tired from driving today.""Okay, I've already put your clothes out for you.""Thank you aunt."Karen went up to the third floor and entered the bathroom to take a shower.The feeling of hot water washing over his body was very comfortable.After showering, he changed into his pajamas and walked out of the steamy bathroom. The temperature difference was quite noticeable and a chill ran through Karen's body. He felt like he was reliving the moment when he was trapped in the water tank, the feeling of despair washing over him once again.Karen had to lean against the wall for a while before he could finally take a deep breath and return to the bedroom. Tonight was different from usual, he went straight to bed without any hesitation.He pressed his hands against his neck and let the blanket wrap around him tightly, feeling like a cocoon.

The eyelids became heavier and heavier, and Karen fell into sleep....At 7:30 in the morning, Karen woke up on time and looked at the sunlight shining through the window, feeling that she had finally regained her energy.She went downstairs and started eating the breakfast prepared by her aunt."Has grandpa had breakfast?" Karen asked."It's Sunday today, grandpa went to church early." Karen nodded. Last night, Dias and Alfred should have gone to the location of the circus, and the situation was probably resolved, or there was no longer any threat. Otherwise, grandpa would not have gone to church in the morning; after all, Dias was not very loyal to the figure worshipped in the church."What about uncle?" Karen asked.Usually, her uncle would come out to have breakfast together at this time.

"There was a welfare form, your uncle and Ron went to pick it up after receiving a call from us. Afu went out with your grandfather last night and couldn't come this morning.""Oh, I see."Karen finished breakfast and went down to the courtyard on the first floor, where the big golden retriever came running over to rub against her leg.At this moment, the hearse returned to the front door.Ron opened the back door of the hearse and started unloading the "guest" with a stretcher.Karen also went over to help, familiarly stabilizing the stretcher with Ron."Is it stable, young master?""It's stable.""Okay, let's go."The stretcher and the body lying on it were pushed down together.

"There is another one, young master, please wait a moment, I will go and bring it out." Ron returned to the hearse and bent down to lift out the second body from the pit.Suddenly, a gust of wind blew and the white cloth covering the body slipped off due to inertia. Karen saw the face of a familiar woman:Mandira!Karen never expected to see Mandira's body at his doorstep. The suffocating and desperate image that he had been trying to avoid and dispel last night suddenly came back, and he instinctively covered his forehead with his hand and swayed.Suddenly, the body lying on the stretcher reached out a hand and grabbed Karen's wrist to help him stabilize.Karen lowered his head,Looking at the hand that had just helped him and then retracted."Young master, the second one is here, please take it." Ron on the car shouted."Okay, I'm coming." Karen responded.At this moment, an even more astonishing scene occurred. Mandira suddenly sat up from the stretcher with her eyes closed, and reached back to grab the two wheels of the stretcher that Ron was handing down.

Ron, who was being lifted up in the car, couldn't see what was happening underneath due to the stretcher and the bodies on top, as well as the height of the hearse. However, he was pleasantly surprised and exclaimed, "Wow, sir, you really got a good grip this time, it feels so powerful!"
