Chapter 39 Fist

"Chapter 39 of the Main Text, 13 Mingke Street: "After all, what are they?" This sentence left Karen deeply shocked. No, it could even be said... overturned."

Since waking up, I have been constructing my own understanding of this world. Even though I have made many revisions, I still cannot completely rid myself of the influence of my preconceived notions from my past life.This is a real world,a world with systems, society, and structure,but my previous self only paid attention to things like the "petty squabbles" between Alfred and Miss Molly,and never truly realized thatthis is a world of divine authority!So when Alfred felt like he was a "demon god," he immediately kneeled down and shamelessly showered me with flattery and praise;it's not because Alfred was exaggerating or being fake;he was not wrong,

But it's him, Karen.It's myself, who has never truly "understood" this world.You think his performance is funny;Others may still be laughing at you, clearly already dressed up as a clown on stage, but still pretending to be serious.And because of this,Dis asks himself: why do you think your grandfather, would be afraid of these things?Because he has always portrayed his grandfather as a hermit and a wise man, silently maintaining a certain order, but also having to respect the rules.But in reality,it's not,from the perspective of the Order of the Gods,

From Dis's perspective,From the perspective within the order and rules,The existence that he needs to fear is actually very few.The things he worries about, the things he is concerned about, the things he is involved in,In Dis's eyes,They are not worth mentioning.It's not that he doesn't care, but that he looks down on them.Karen also thought of Uncle Mason who had knelt down and howled in pain on the first floor,Uncle had said when he came back: Father is just a priest, telling him these things will only make him suffer and be in pain.At that time, she was still denying it in her heart:

No,Diss and a regular priest are not the same.Well,In fact, my understanding and Uncle Mason's are not that different.You don't understand your father, and I don't really understand my grandfather either.Karen looked at Diss in a daze,He didn't think Diss was joking, he was not the type to joke around.The reason he couldn't speak for a momentwas because his mind was blank, he had no idea what to say."You can lead the way now," Diss said.

"Oh, okay." Karen walked out of the study, with Dis following behind him. When Karen reached the corner of the stairs and was about to go downstairs, he turned back to look at Dis."What's wrong?" Dis asked."Where are we going?""I'll lead the way, where to?""To the home of the mayoral candidate, Mr. Fude."Upon hearing this, Karen asked, "But, where is his home?"Dis looked at Karen,Karen also looked at Dis.The grandfather and grandson stood face to face at the corner of the stairs for a while, without saying a word.

For a long time,Dis looked at Karen with some confusion and asked:"Just now, it was you who knocked on the door and entered my study, right?""Yes, grandfather.""It was you who told me that this matter is likely related to the demons, right?""Yes, grandfather.""And it was also you who suggested that the person who benefits the most is most likely the suspect, which is the mayoral candidate, Mr. Fude, right?""Yes, grandfather."Dis nodded,His hands placed in front of him,

Very seriously asked:"So, are you telling me now that you don't actually know where he lives?""I..."Karen's heart was filled with countless roars:Can I be blamed for this?Can I be blamed for this!How was I supposed to know that you could just take me straight to the mastermind's door?Usually when facing someone with power and influence, shouldn't you start with small clues, gather evidence, catch the small fry, step by step follow the trail, and then be threatened by the other party, have a few teammates silenced, and finally after great risk find an opportunity to expose the evidence to the public?Even if you know that the mastermind is that person, but he is a person of power and influence.Even if they have already booked the funeral home in advance, and they smile at you, and show off their manners, even if they mock you and know the truth, what can you do? You still have to grit your teeth and swallow it.

After all, the rules were made by them.But you're telling me,Let's go to his house and talk to him now?This feels like,Just as the filming is about to start,I'm asking you for lines,But then I realize, the two of us are not even reading from the same script.Dis looked at Karen, who was speechless.

Sighing, he said, "So, you didn't prepare anything at all?" "I..." "I thought you had everything ready, that's why you came to the study to call me." "I..." "Then what was your purpose for coming to me just now?" "I..." "It couldn't possibly be because your conscience was bothering you, so you came here as a last resort, but you never actually thought I could do anything about it? In short,..."

"Are you here to find me, cry and seek peace of mind?""Yes..."Karen admitted.Because it wasn't the Roth family who died, he hadn't completely lost his sanity, but his heart was also uneasy. It was like Uncle Mason, completely overshadowed by others, but also bound by fear, and in the end... could only accept his fate, cover up his conscience, and repeatedly murmur "this is the tragedy of small people" to comfort himself.In fact, he didn't even have the preparation to move the elephant as a small person."Karen.""Yes.""Can you take the books that I let Lunt give you and take some time to read them carefully, especially the one you said you have already read, 'The Light of Order'?""I thought it was just exaggerated marketing language..."

I didn't expect it to be a realistic popular science book.Dis extended his hand,Patted Karen's shoulder,With a serious tone, he said:"A thousand years ago, even the coronation of a king required prostrating oneself at the feet of God, and religion was needed to grant him a legitimate position of power, the divine right of kings.In the past thousand years, such scenes have become less common.But,The reason is that the profession of king is no longer effective,But God,Has always stood there."

After saying these words, Dis looked at the black suitcase he was carrying, shook his head, turned around, and walked back to his study, saying:"Don't be a coward, when your conscience is troubled, lying on the ground and basking in the sun won't solve anything. Learn to take action, at least prepare a list of possible suspects and their addresses.""Bang."The study door closed.Karen remained standing at the staircase, still in disarray despite the lack of wind."Meow~"The sound of Puer's meow came from afar.

It walked with cat-like steps, steadily walking on the smooth staircase railing. It turned its head, seemingly with a deliberate smile, looking at Karen:"I told you, Dis, I can always give you the most calm and prudent advice."As it spoke,Puer also wagged its tail slightly in excitement."Do you like this advice?"Karen looked at Puer,Only then did he understand,When he saw himself feeling down, why Alfred would remind him proactively:"Master, you can go and ask your grandfather."So,

Standing in Alfred's perspective,He should be a little puzzled,Clearly the other party has already used the power of the demon, why do you still sigh in the hearse?Huh...Fortunately, Puer and Dis have both said that their identity as an evil god has no flaws, and when the evil god descends, there will be a long period of weakness, which not only refers to strength... but also to consciousness;So, Alfred is just slightly puzzled, but not enough to doubt anything.Karen took a deep breath,Reached out,Holding Puer in her arms, Puer didn't struggle, but instead took the opportunity to make a request after knowing that Karen's suppressed emotions had been dispelled:"When will you make me the carp baked noodles that you mentioned last time?"

Karen reached out and rubbed Puer's belly,Just as Puer couldn't help but raise his paw to teach him a lesson:"I'll make dinner for you tonight.""Okay, meow~"...Everyone gathered in the living room on the first floor, including the Sisso family of four.Uncle sat on the sofa, bowing his head, while Aunt Mary comforted him in a low voice.Aunt Winnie covered her forehead,Ron had a look of distress on his face, and even Ron's intelligence could tell that this family of four was definitely not committing suicide.Alfred and Mrs. Molly stood together, like passersby who had stumbled upon a play with a suppressed atmosphere.

Karen carried the Pu'er tea and walked down the stairs, her shoes making clear footsteps as they touched the wooden steps. Gradually, everyone's gaze turned towards her."The deposit has been received, we have to go through with this deal no matter what. Aunt, please take Molly to handle the funeral arrangements for this family of four. Although the weather is cold now, tomorrow is the day of mourning and it won't make much difference whether the bodies are embalmed or not, but at least we should let them leave with dignity.Uncle, please help Ron decorate the first floor. The client wants a simple and solemn atmosphere, so we will follow their request.Alfred, please take care of the reporters and protesters outside. Tomorrow is the day of mourning and I don't want my home to be disturbed today.Also, Aunt, please make a list of the important people who will attend the funeral tomorrow and make sure to get their addresses. We will send them a beautiful souvenir as a token of our appreciation."After saying all this, Karen turned and left.

Karen's gaze once again fell upon everyone present:"This is what Grandpa meant;Grandpa said,The Inmores family does not raise idle people,Get to work!" Everyone began to busy themselves, perhaps the previous dullness was just a necessary transition, after the transition, you still need to face reality.Aunt Mary and Ms. Molly worked together to transport the bodies of the family of four to the basement workshop;Uncle Mason took Ron and took out some things for decoration and began to set them up;Alfred sat in the yard with a wooden stool, staring at the reporters outside and the group of protesters sitting on the ground.In the yard, there was a strange demon sitting.

Outside the courtyard, a group of white roses sat;The demon Alfred sat elegantly, while the group of white roses looked like they were being held by a dog.Aunt Winnie began to make a list, standing by the telephone and occasionally needing to make calls to inquire.Everyone began to work in an orderly manner.Karen hugged her Pu'er tea and went back upstairs.The original waiting was torture, but now it was anticipation.At tomorrow's memorial service, those who were supposed to perform on stage will come, and it will be clear who the main character is and who the supporting roles are;After the memorial service, I can take the list and go door-to-door with my grandfather to visit each family.The victim's family is already dead, and the perpetrator's dance is about to begin, but the one who laughs last is the one who laughs best.

Karen doesn't mind taking the time to appreciate their smiles tomorrow,just like a true hunter, who enjoys watching their prey dance before the kill.It's a kind of appreciation,but also a kind of irresistible joy.This thought, I don't know when it started to fill my mind;but Karen didn't want to resist or reject it,Di's attitude is his greatest reliance,just as Di said: the fist is the greatest truth.Karen held a cup of Pu'er tea in his left hand, raised his right hand, and slowly clenched his fist;This cat, Pu'er, seems to be able to see through people's hearts.

Although at this moment, Liyu was still lying in Karen's arms for the sake of baking noodles, he couldn't help but make a joke:"So, are you also now indulging in the fist of the gods?Can you break free from the shackles of worldly rules and turn anyone outside of the rules into minced meat with your fist?"The fist of the gods?Or perhaps,The power of the gods?Karen spoke up, "My understanding of this fist is different from yours.""Hehehe, what else could it be? Only the will of the gods can break through the dirty and dark world created by humans and bring about a bone-deep punishment!""In fact, there is another kind of fist."

"Which one?""Your cat brain, can't understand.""Are you looking down on me? But I feel like 'your cat brain' sounds much better than 'your dog brain'.""Yes, that's right.""If one day, you want to believe in religion, you can tell me.""Why not Dìsī?""Why, why?Haha.Can your human brain think properly?"Puer broke free from Karen's arms.

Landing,Looking at Karen,Smiling and saying:"Because of Dis, he doesn't believe in religion."------------There will be more tonight, it might be a bit late, you can read it in the morning.Also, I recommend a book by an author I really like. I think this book is the most exciting one I've read in the past two years. The title is "The Arrival of the Demon".
