Chapter 78 Untitled

Mingke Street, No. 13, Main Volume, Chapter 78, UntitledThe doctor had just left, and Aunt Winnie lay on Grandpa's bed, gently wiping his forehead with a hot towel."Karen, come out with me," Uncle Mason said.Karen stood up and followed Uncle Mason out of the bedroom. Then, Uncle Mason opened Karen's bedroom door and motioned for her to come in.The uncle and niece sat facing each other, with Mason sitting on the bed and Karen pulling a chair from the desk to sit across from him."None of us expected your grandfather to have this happen," Uncle Mason said.Karen nodded;In fact, he had expected it, and the current result was much better than the worst case he had anticipated.Because Grandpa had fulfilled his promise and came back, and he even said he could be awakened.

But the cost of awakening...But Karen felt that waking up her grandfather now was like "awakening" an ordinary corpse;When the last bit of spirituality remaining in their bodies is exhausted, they truly become a corpse, in the purest sense.Is this sad?No,Because in comparison, it is a pleasant surprise.Grandfather still has the ability to awaken, he has not died, nor has he left forever.So, Karen is trying to adjust herself not to be sad, and to keep her heart filled with positive hope.Grandfather has done everything he can, and the future road will have to be walked by himself. What is the end of this road?Before, there may have been some confusion, more of a sightseeing, with a kind of casualness; now, there is a set goal ahead, that is - to repay the crows.

"Dis said, when he was treated unfairly outside, he came back to wake him up;But what Karen was thinking was, when she woke Dis up, she would ask him what he wanted for dinner."Karen?"Uncle Mason noticed that Karen seemed a little distracted."Well, uncle, please continue.""Sigh, your grandfather is already like this. The doctor said it's a common disease for elderly people. He may wake up in one or two months, or he may never wake up and just lie in bed.""Okay.""So, Wayne, you don't have to go. Stay here with me, your aunt and your cousin. Let's run the funeral home together, okay?"Karen fell silent."What, do you still want to go to Wayne?"

"Yes, uncle," Karen looked directly into Uncle Mason's eyes."I can't understand, Karen, really.""Uncle, this was grandfather's arrangement before."Karen could only bring up grandfather again;If she continued to stay on Mingke Street, all she could do was take care of grandfather lying in bed every day, sit in front of Dis's bed and talk to herself for a while, but then grandfather would have no chance to wake up again."Clap!"Uncle Mason clapped his hands, gritted his teeth, opened his arms, tears in his eyes, and said:"Now I finally understand how my brother felt when he saw the choice I and Winnie made.""Uncle, I know I insist on going..."

"No no no, you misunderstood, Karen." Uncle Mason wiped his eyes with the back of his hand and smiled. "Just relax a little, with me and your aunt here, grandpa will always be taken care of. You can trust us.You should go to Vienna, don't have any psychological burden, really, unless you don't believe in your uncle and aunt and your aunt."Uncle Mason patted his chest, stood up, walked to Karen, bent down, and put his hands on her shoulders:"Home is a place that always cares about you but never wants to burden you."..."Second brother, is this not good?""Well, for big brother, it's not good."On the steps, Winnie and Mason sat side by side, still young."I think this is not fair to big brother," Winnie said, "big brother didn't even have a chance to choose. How about we start over and let big brother choose first this time?""It's meaningless, we have already chosen. Even if big brother chooses first, he will still choose to stay and manage the funeral home."

"Are we... being too selfish?""Hey, Mason, Winnie, what are you two talking about here?"A clear voice came from behind Mason and Winnie, followed by two arms dropping down and resting on their shoulders.Mason and Winnie turned to the middle, where a face with a forever gentle smile was."Don't burden yourselves, since you've decided to go out, just let go of everything and go out to see the wonders outside. At home, you have me as your brother. Home is a place that will always care for you but never wants to be a burden to you."...Mingke Street, the church.The restoration work was already in progress, mainly focusing on the large trench that had been forcefully dug in the middle.Lasma had combed his hair and trimmed his beard. Today, he was wearing a priest's robe, looking much more serious and dignified. He no longer looked like the old man who would throw on a worn-out leather jacket and give off the impression of either just coming from or heading to a bakery. He just didn't look like a respectable old man.

Of course, if he wasn't sitting on the bench, crossing his legs and trimming his nails, his image would be better.In front of Rasma stood the whip captain, Simon."Has the personnel evacuation been arranged?" Rasma asked."Reporting to the High Priest, it has been arranged and we have already evacuated from Lokia City.""Hmm.""However, I still suggest setting up a special contact observation point on Mingke Street, just in case...""Don't be foolish.""Yes.""Dis's home, Dis will keep an eye on it himself, even if he is currently asleep.So, do you think sending a team to monitor his home and his family nearby will ensure that he won't notice?"

He has already made it very clear, hoping that his family can forever leave the vortex of the church, and the three temple elders have also promised him.Simon, never try to be clever, because in the eyes of truly wise people, it will appear foolish.""Yes, High Priest, I understand.""In the name of the High Priest, I command the Whip of Order not to set foot on Mingke Street again.""Yes, sir."Rasma nodded and continued to watch the workers who were working ahead.Simon couldn't help but ask, "High Priest, your attire is...""Dis is sleeping, and I am preparing to temporarily replace him as a priest here.""Then...""As for the matters of the central hub, there is not much for me to be involved in, and I won't stay for too long."

Elder Gail has already agreed and looks forward to me being able to seek new breakthroughs during my time as a priest in this church.Dis, but it is here that three divine fragments are gathered. I don't ask for much, just one will do. Perhaps there are some things left behind by Dis that can help me here.""With the Great High Priest here, everything here will be stable.""So, you can put away those dog claws." Lasma blew on his freshly repaired nails. "Don't accidentally make them bleed.""I understand."Simon left.Watching his departing figure, Lasma's eyes revealed a touch of gloom.He actually didn't like this kind of "struggle for power" drama, but unfortunately, in the Church of God, this kind of drama was indispensable.Just like the Order of the Whip organization, which is actually independent of the church, its direct leader has always been a very senior elder in the temple, and Lasma doesn't know who it is.In addition, there are many factions within the church formed by different understandings of interests or doctrines. Of course, there are also Order Church inheritance families linked by blood, and some factions and ancestors of families are also in the Order Temple at the moment.

This made him, as the high priest, actually have no special meaning. Power cannot be implemented at all. Many times, you have to become the vase placed on the table.Rasma lowered his head and continued to trim his nails. At this time, a worker next to him wiped his sweat with a shovel and smiled at Rasma as an ordinary priest:"Father, I have always had a thought in my heart. I feel that in life, I don't like to socialize with people, and I don't like those troublesome things. I want to find a quiet place to find peace in my heart.So, can I join the church?Or, can I find peace in the church?"Rasma answered without looking up:"The more you want to escape something, the more you will face more when you enter the church."With that, Rasma laughed again and continued:"A fish, even in a small stream, feels restricted. Will it be free if it jumps into a smaller fish tank?"...

"You are going to follow along." Mr. Hough pointed at Alfred.Alfred nodded."What about you, are you not planning to come along?" Mr. Hough asked Mrs. Molly.Mrs. Molly nodded and said, "I am not planning to go, I want to stay at home and help the young master take care of the house.""That's a smart choice," Mr. Hough praised, "helping to take care of the house is not only easy, but when it comes to rewards, you won't be left out.""To be honest, I didn't think that far," Mrs. Molly explained, "I just feel that Lord Dis is already lying down, and the young master won't feel at ease leaving the house to go to Weynken, so I decided to stay.""Hmm." Mr. Hough nodded, "you are very practical. And him..."Mr. Hough pointed at Alfred,"he, on the other hand, has some different ideas."

"You are right, I have various visions for the young master's future, so I want to stay by his side to witness it together."In the oak cemetery, Alfred witnessed the horror of Dis with his own eyes;But at the same time, he also witnessed the power of Mr. Houghfin's "knowledge".A formation to seal the evil god, he actually prepared it in just fifteen minutes, even though just an hour ago, he had just crawled out of the grave."I will give Karen a set of basic formations, you can also follow along and take a look. With your succubus eyes, learning and remembering things should be quick. Talent is not something to show off, if it cannot be used to continuously improve oneself, it is a waste.""Yes, I remember everything you said. I will do my best to improve myself so I can help the young master in more ways.""Hmm."Mr. Houghfin looked at the clock on the wall, took a deep breath, and said:"I really want to take another look at Dis.""You can go now." Alfred said, "I checked, the perimeter of the house is clean."

"I'm not worried about this, I want to remember Di Si as a confident and calm person. I don't want to see him lying in bed.""Lord Di, is truly a highly respected presence," Alfred said.At this moment, the sound of a car could be heard outside.A hearse stopped at the entrance of 128 Mingke Street, and Karen pushed a stretcher inside.Miss Molly, wearing high heels, "clacked" down the stairs and opened the door.She was wearing black stockings and red high heels today;Because she remembered that the young master didn't seem to like her ordinary shoes last time, she wanted to leave a deeper impression on him before he left Luo Jia City.However, Karen just smiled at her and didn't look at her feet. After handing her the stretcher, he went straight into the living room.Mr. Hofen saw Karen coming and stood up with the help of the armrest of the chair, saying:"Di Si has fallen asleep, and it's time for me to be cremated."

"It's still early, shall we not sit for a while?" Karen asked with a smile."I won't sit, I can clearly feel that my mind is not as clear as before. If I delay any longer, I'm afraid I'll embarrass myself.""Okay, sir."Alfred and Mrs. Molly placed the four wheels of the stretcher, and Karen helped Mr. Houghen lie down on it.Then, with Alfred's help, Karen put Mr. Houghen's stretcher onto the hearse.Before getting on the car, Karen looked at Mrs. Molly and asked:"Are you going to stay?""Yes, sir. Someone needs to take care of the house, so I will continue to assist you as Mrs. Mary's assistant and take care of this house. Also, Mr. Houghen gave me a way to use the principle of the Divine Letter Delivery System, so you can use this method to write to the house after you go to Vienna.""Okay, thank you for your hard work."Karen hesitated for a moment, then stood in front of Mrs. Molly.

"Thank you, Ms. Molly.""You are too kind, young master. It's my duty.""Young master, do you need me to follow in the car?" Alfred asked."No, it's not necessary.""Okay, young master."Karen sat in the driver's seat and started the hearse.The car drove out of Mink Street, heading towards the former Shius Crematorium, now managed by Paul, the Inmerlees Crematorium.Mr. Hofen lay on the stretcher, smiling and asking, "Is Dis doing well?""Grandpa is sleeping soundly."

"Don't worry about things at home, even if Dis is asleep, one of his eyes will always be watching over the family.""I know, I trust Grandpa.""Well, after you go to Vienna, see if you like it or not. It's a good thing you can cook for yourself, the food in Vienna is really terrible.""I've heard.""If life there is stable, you can consider living a normal life. I think that's what Dis really wants.""I know, but I hope one day I can come back and wake up Grandpa.""Haha, okay.""Can Grandpa Houghen find a way to be like you?""There's no way, Dis and I are different. I'm actually more like an ordinary person, just with more knowledge. You don't have to think about these things for me. I've lived a wonderful life, I can even die twice and experience both burial and cremation. It's already more than most people can say about their whole lives."

"Okay."The hearse arrived at the entrance of Inmoleis Crematorium."Grandpa, do you want to go in now or do you want to lie down for a while?""I'll lie down for a bit. There's something I've been considering whether to tell you. When we arrived at the crematorium, I realized that I should just say it. We're both about to turn into ashes for the second time.""Okay."Karen approached Mr. Hofen's stretcher."Karen, have you read the book 'Light of Order'?""I have, I've read it several times."The first time, I thought it was a pyramid scheme book, so I just skimmed through it;After I found out it was a popular science book, Karen would read it almost every night before going to bed for the past few months.

"Then tell me, what is the most memorable story in 'Light of Order'? I'm referring to its myth summary.""The myth summary, still fresh in my memory..."Karen pondered for a moment before giving her answer:"One is when the God of Order gave his daughter, Ankara, three purple bookmarks. The other is the origin of 'Light of Order', where the God of Order punished his daughter, who had made a mistake, by throwing her into the mouth of a ferocious beast.""Hmm."Mr. Hofen suddenly reached out and grabbed Karen's wrist. His thumb and index finger were no longer functional, but his middle finger, ring finger, and pinky were tightly intertwined."Did Dias give you any bookmarks?""He did.""How many?""Two. One is still with me, I didn't write a name on it, so I kept it as a treasure. The other one, I gave to Miss Eunice's mother."

"Actually, there is one more bookmark.""One more?""Yes, the third bookmark, which is currently lying on the bed at home, is the reason why the Order of the Gods did not affect the Inmoleis family. It is because of this third bookmark that the Inmoleis family can live a peaceful life like ordinary people.""Yes, you make a good point.""I heard from Dis that you compared the savage beast to the black cat in your house?""Yes.""You believe that the God of Order is hypocritical, and he did not actually punish Ankara. Since the savage beast may have been a domesticated one, it may have taken Ankara and gone into hiding somewhere else; therefore, the light of order is a false light.""Yes.""Just like how your Pu'er tea will soon take you to Vayne..."

Karen's expression suddenly froze."Cough cough cough..."Mr. Hofen began to cough violently,but he still forced himself to hold back,saying:"Karen, have you noticed?The God of Order did those two things for Ankara;In fact,Dias did the same for you."-
