13 Mingke Street

Chapter 22 Laughter

Mrs. Shius has passed away, no, she is gone.However, Karen, who escaped from the dangerous situation, did not feel any relief.Kneeling in front of him was a man, and a woman, if she could be called a woman;In any case, these two people brought him great pressure.

Karen knew that there must be a misunderstanding here.But he also knew that he couldn't explain this misunderstanding.Let's see how they deal with Mrs. Xiu's situation... Karen believed that if they wanted to, it would be easy to solve their own problems.At this moment, Karen had to thank his profession in his previous life and all the strange things he encountered after waking up in this life. In short, his mental state was good as long as it didn't involve life and death.What is a life and death moment? It's similar to when Mrs. Xiu really raised the knife, he was really scared to the extreme. It's better than not crying until you see the coffin. Before the coffin is closed, he can still force a smile.But,It's very awkward,These two people are just kneeling in front of him, but no one is speaking;And Karen,He didn't know what to say.

Because he had very little chance to speak, once he said something wrong, he would have to remain silent forever.Following your will, great you;Karen began to recall the words that the man in the red suit had said to her earlier.Did they mistake me?No, that shouldn't be the case.Neither the previous "Karen" nor the current self had the right to make these two kneel.They must have mistaken their own abilities,They should have,Mistaken their own strength.Complicated problems should be simplified as much as possible.

They see themselves as great beings, although they don't know why. But now, they can only continue to pretend to be "great".But,What exactly should they do?Karen really wants to go home now, she misses Dis's study;Oh, damn it, Dis is not home today!Alfred and Mrs. Molly continue to kneel.After a long time,They finally hear the voice of the great being in front of them:"Tired..."Alfred lowers his head even more, and Mrs. Molly does the same.

Karen stood up from the bed, her movements slow because her body was still weak. Alfred kneeled and stepped aside, making way for the great presence to move forward. Karen took one step at a time, feeling a surge of impulse to run out of the room, down the stairs, and out of the front door to the red "Kamen" car, stepping on the gas pedal to "escape to safety". But, looking at the neatly broken glass under the window and remembering how the man in the red suit had entered earlier, Karen felt that even if she had two legs, she wouldn't be able to outrun him. But since she had already gotten out of bed, she couldn't turn back and sit on the bed again, could she? In the end, Karen came to Mrs. Xius's pile of clothes, bent down, picked up the clothes, and yes, they were now just remnants.

Actually, Karen has a good impression of Mrs. Xiu, he believes that most of the time she is still the same Mrs. Xiu, except when she is thinking about creating art.However, he didn't feel too sad. After picking up the clothes, Karen looked out the window at the moon."The moonlight is nice."Alfred and Mrs. Molly were still kneeling obediently.Karen tried to steady his breathing and slowly walked to the window. The friction between his shoes and the glass made a slight, piercing sound.Karen lifted his head and pretended to be immersed in the moonlight tonight.Behind him, there were some noises. Alfred and Mrs. Molly completely changed direction, kneeling towards the window instead of the bed.No,Why don't you talk,Why are you just kneeling there without saying anything, how am I supposed to know what I'm supposed to act?

Holding Mrs. Shu's clothes in his hand, he touched a small box, which was a cigarette case.At this critical moment,A thought suddenly popped into Karen's mind,A thought that made him want to laugh and slap himself:If I get caught in the next moment, why not have another cigarette before getting caught?No, what am I thinking!!!Although he was scolding himself in his mind, "muscle memory" still made Karen take out the cigarette case. It was a "honey" cigarette, a slim cigarette for ladies.The cigarette case was turned upside down in his palm,Tap,

Tap again,Then, half of a cigarette falls out.Take out this cigarette, filter end down, on the back of the hand, tap, tap again;Pick it up,Bite it on the edge of the lips;Pick up the lighter with a purple rose imprint,Face down,"Snap"Ignite;Shake the lighter off the wrist,

Take a puff,Then move the cigarette aside, with the tip facing down, and blow out a smoke ring.This is a standard process for veteran smokers, or perhaps, each veteran smoker has their own set of habitual movements, with slight differences in posture, but the overall charm is almost the same.While doing this movement, it feels like a background music is playing all around you, no matter who you are or where you are, whether it's on a construction site or at a smoking area in a train station, or like now, being "watched" by two "ghosts";As long as you do this set of movements, at least in this moment, you are detached from the world, using a deep gaze to observe it.The faint smell of smoke fills the air.Alfred continues to kneel, and Mrs. Molly also kneels."Ha..."Alfred's body trembles slightly, subconsciously wanting to lift his head, but restraining this impulse.Karen purses her lips, feeling a bit bitter.

Then he poured out another cigarette,With great restraint, he suppressed his trembling hand and said to Alfred:"Want one?"Him,Asking me?Alfred hesitated for a moment, finally, with great courage, he raised his head.He saw the great presence standing by the window, holding out a cigarette towards him, the moonlight shining on him, as if it were lined with a layer of gold, sacred and inviolable."Hmm?""I..."Alfred slowly stood up, carefully walked to Karen's side, reached out, took the cigarette, and bit it in his mouth.

Next moment,"Snap!"Karen lit a flame with a lighter;Alfred's body trembled, the great being, the messenger of God, actually wanted to...light a cigarette for me?Cigarettes and alcohol, both carry extremely negative cultural connotations, reflected in the act of offering cigarettes and alcohol;When those in power do these things, it often brings great emotions to those below.Alfred leaned over, lit the cigarette, with a nervous and excited heart, took a puff, then moved away, not wanting the smoke he exhaled to "clash" with the great being.Hmm, very good, he smoked.Next, Karen took out another one, looking at Molly who was kneeling there:"Do you want one too?"

"Ugh, what am I even doing?! Karen cursed herself in her mind. Mrs. Molly stood up and walked over, looking a bit lost, her red high heels tapping a pleasant rhythm on the floor. She didn't have hands, but luckily, she had a face. Karen brought the filter end of the cigarette to Mrs. Molly's mouth and she leaned forward, opening her mouth and taking a drag. Karen then lit the cigarette with a lighter. And then, Mrs. Molly began to smoke."

Can you imagine what Mrs. Molly looks like when she smokes? This is a scene that no sane artist can imagine! Karen really saw it.Then, although Karen was terrified and horrified, the unknown meaning brought by this scene seemed to hit his funny bone, making him want to laugh.Karen held it in, held it in, held it in,In order not to ruin his image,He turned around,Facing the window.At the same time,Alfred and Mrs. Molly followed suit, looking out the window together.Three people,

Facing the moon,Everyone has a cigarette in their mouth.Oh my god,What a distorted scene!Karen felt his cheeks were getting sore,He subconsciously wanted to smoke to distract himself,So he took a puff, but couldn't hold back his laughter, it burst out like a floodgate, pouring out."Hahaha...cough...hahaha..."He choked, coughing violently, but the laughter couldn't stop, the action and process couldn't end, Karen continued to laugh, coughing and laughing at the same time;Laughing until tears streamed down his face.

Laughing so hard that even I feel like my brain has gone crazy,Laughing so hard that I feel like I've messed up and it's all over.It's all over!!!Karen continued to laugh, regretfully slapping the windowsill with her palm while still laughing.No, I can't laugh anymore, I have to stop, control myself!Alfred was stunned by the bizarre and unrestrained scene in front of him, as was Mrs. Molly beside him.The great presence in front of them,Laughing wildly, laughing without restraint, laughing purely;And then,Alfred also laughed, starting off quietly and then gradually increasing his volume to match the great presence in front of him.

Next to her, Ms. Molly saw the great being laughing, and then Alfred also laughed, and she joined in with a laugh.Just as Karen was about to stop laughing, she was once again interrupted by the two laughs coming from behind her.What the hell, why are you guys laughing!"Hahahahaha!""Hahahaha!""Hahahaha!"Stop making me laugh, damn it!"Hahahaha!"Karen turned her head and happened to see Ms. Molly dropping her cigarette from her mouth because she had no hands to hold it.

"Grass!""Hahahahaha!!!"Karen laughed so hard that tears came out."Hahahahaha!!!" Alfred couldn't stop either.Mrs. Molly, in order to ease the awkwardness and also because her cigarette had already fallen, laughed loudly.You two are crazy!Laughter is contagious, even if there is no reason to laugh, but when someone next to you suddenly bursts into laughter, you can't help but be affected and your body can't control it.Karen didn't know how long she had been laughing, but in the end, she laughed until she almost ran out of energy and almost ran out of oxygen before slowly stopping."I haven't laughed in a long time, I almost forgot what it feels like to laugh."

Mrs. Molly's voice sounded softly.Finally, she spoke.Karen immediately perked up and began using the universal words she had used to comfort patients in her past life:"Sometimes, learning to let go of attachments is the only way to pick up what we truly want."Upon hearing this, Mrs. Molly's body, or more accurately, her plump legs, trembled;She then knelt down again:"Thank you for your guidance, I will remember your teachings."At that moment,Alfred suddenly spoke:"The judge from the Order of the Divine Order has arrived."

Order of the Divine Cult? Judge?Karen looked out the window with some confusion, and a familiar figure appeared on the road outside the courtyard gate...Dis.Beside her grandfather, there was a small thing, not very clear in the night, but its eyes were like amber, it was Puer.Karen now instinctively wanted to shout, "Grandpa, save me!"But after considering the distance between herself and the two people next to her, as well as the distance from her grandfather, Karen gave up this plan.But no matter what, her grandfather's appearance gave Karen a great sense of security.He stood there, looking at Dis outside the window, and said calmly:"I live at his house."Alfred's eyes lit up and he asked:"Is this judge of the Order of the Divine Cult your follower?"

Yes, every great existence, before rising, will have followers who will emerge to protect them through the initial difficulties. Isn't this how it is in religious stories? The followers can be powerful demons, or... powerful humans. No wonder this person, who is clearly so powerful, has been staying in Luo Jia City as a judge. It turns out, he has always had such a great mission! Karen replied, "He is my grandfather in terms of bloodline." Karen swore that this statement was completely true, without adding any embellishments. The truth is, facing this person with red eyes, Karen dared not tell lies because he had a feeling that this person was very sensitive and could sense when someone was lying in front of him. In terms of bloodline... grandfather. So, this is a descending deity who borrowed a human body, became pregnant, gave birth, grew up, and fulfilled their mission to establish a religion! It all makes sense now.

Everything makes sense now!This is a true god who has descended upon the mortal world, a true god!That's why he has his own language, because his existence, his years, cannot be measured by any civilization!That's why he has his own sacred song, because he is a god, his songs are his sacred songs, he doesn't need to start from scratch, he himself is the beginning!God has already descended, and he has prepared everything!Alfred once again kneels down,Humbly saying:"Please forgive me, for my impudence, for disturbing your journey from greatness to enlightenment.""Forgive your sins.""Thank you for your mercy."

Alfred did not stand up, but instead made a firm decision and said:"I hope to follow in your footsteps, as your falcon, as your mule, as your most loyal and glorious servant!"Mrs. Molly next to him also said directly:"I will be your legs, only to witness your great path."Karen blinked, feeling a bit at a loss in this situation. She could only turn to her grandfather standing below and give a helpless smile....At the entrance of 128 Mingke Street, Karen could only smile helplessly at her grandfather standing below.

Dis and Pu'er both looked up, gazing at the second floor window.Pu'er spoke first:"Dis, do you regret it now?The forbidden ritual has summoned a truly terrifying demon.Before,Your eyes were deceived by his appearance, and your heart was clouded by the so-called family ties;Look,He has already tamed these two demons.And now,With wings fully formed,

"Smiling provocatively at you."
