Chapter 23 My Mistakes, Ended by Me

"I'm going back now." Karen tried to keep her voice calm, and with the appearance of Dis, he did feel more confident than before. Although Dis had been holding his life in his hands, it was still better than being outside like a dandelion floating in the wind. But in the end, he was still a fake spiritualist, and a fake was always a fake. So after saying this, he immediately added, "Is there anything else you want to say?" Alfred took out a business card and respectfully handed it over. Karen reached out and took the card, which stated his position as "Luo Jia Radio Host" along with a string of phone numbers.

"I hope to hear your call again. Alfred took two steps back, making way and continued, "You can choose to make this call, or you can come directly to the door of this room; Your call, for me, is like the sunrise and sunset, it is an unbreakable rule." Karen took back the business card and breathed a sigh of relief. It's best not to make any requests, because he really doesn't know what he can give; Over 20,000 Lubi's private money? Plus a Mifit gold watch? Or, one day, a 50% discount coupon for Inmores Funeral Home after your death? Fortunately, he is sensible and doesn't have any requests."

But next,Mrs. Molly knelt directly in front of Karen.She was kneeling, but she lifted her head;If it were someone else facing the kneeling, there would inevitably be a sense of control belonging to the superior, but this feeling did not apply to Mrs. Molly. When she knelt down, it was as if she was gazing at you."Please forgive my irrationality, but, I hope the great you will grant me a purified body."Body?A corpse?If it's a corpse, there's no shortage at home. There are still three lying in the basement.I can figure out a way to steal it;But what does a purified body mean?

This is specific, definitely not ordinary.Otherwise, Jeff's body and Mrs. Shu's body, which were the earliest, were also fully intact, but Ms. Molly did not use them.But if you ask now, "So, what is a purified body?"It is very likely that the previously pretended "profound and unfathomable" will be directly exposed, just like a physics professor pointing to a capital "E" and asking what it means.However, what I need to do now is to leave here, so Karen gave her answer:"Wait.""Thank you, great one. I will always prostrate myself before you and offer you all my loyalty."Karen did not respond, just nodded slightly, and then calmly put Mrs. Shu's belongings into her backpack, picked up the backpack, and walked towards the door.When she walked out of the master bedroom, Karen noticed that the two of them did not follow.Down the stairs,

Layer by layer underground,Walking out of leisure, walking out of indifference, walking out of casualness;Perhaps walking too seriously,Karen unexpectedly walked out of the turn,Forgetting whether to step with the left or right leg next;Without paying attention, she stepped directly onto two stairs, plus carrying a backpack, causing her center of gravity to be lost, and she could only walk quickly forward."Dodododo..."Finally,With her right hand holding onto the railing,Her body turned,

"Dong!"Jumping to the ground.To cover up the embarrassment,Karen also let out a big laugh:"Ha ha."Trying to hide his loss of composure as a child at heart.Opening the door of the entrance,Karen walked out.Passing through the courtyard, he didn't look back at the window upstairs, but directly opened the courtyard door, moving forward, forward, and finally stood in front of Dias.Opening his mouth,

He let out a heavy sigh,then took a deep breath,the strong sense of security making his brain feel a little intoxicated.Dis looked at Karen and didn't speak, but took a few steps forward to the front of the courtyard gate."Mr. Alfred."At the position of the second floor window, Alfred gave a slight smile and responded:"Your Honor.""Please remember our agreement."Alfred replied:"I have never broken our agreement, and Miss Molly has not left this room. Although another person has died today, I assure you, she died guilty as well."

Dis turned around and looked at Karen.Karen pointed to Mrs. Xiu's red "Kemen" sedan and said, "I can explain."Seeing that Dis did not object, Karen opened the car door and first put the mountaineering bag in, then sat in.Dis sat in the passenger seat, and Puer jumped in from the car window and landed in the back seat.Karen started the car.On the balcony on the second floor, watching the car gradually disappear at the end of the street, Alfred let out a light cough and looked down at the three cigarette butts on the ground:"I still don't understand why humans invented this slow-acting poison to kill themselves."Mrs. Molly replied, "From the moment humans are born, they are on the path towards death.""Mrs. Molly, your answer is becoming more and more philosophical. Maybe in the future, I can invite you as a special guest on my show. Well, anyway, the audience won't be able to see you."Mrs. Molly looked at Alfred and asked, "Why do you say that?"

"Are you not planning to put away your demon eyes?""Oh? Ah, haha."Alfred's blood-red eyes began to recede, returning to the ordinary pupils of a normal person, except for a faint gray haze on top."Alfred, I really don't understand you. You were the first to discover that great existence, and today you were the first to show the most humble attitude. But why do you keep your demon eyes on that great existence?"Demon eyes have the ability to see through illusions and capture people's hearts.Therefore, demons are considered to be a highly intelligent group in the supernatural hierarchy, because they are not easily deceived.Many times, not being deceived is already a sign of intelligence.Karen had a similar feeling when facing Alfred, she couldn't lie in front of him.That's why in their previous conversation, no matter how humble Alfred was, Karen always answered with "the truth.""I just want to show my respect, to let that great existence see my true self. It is a symbol of loyalty."

"I don't believe it," Alfred shrugged and said, "Actually, the more you believe in something, the higher your doubt towards it will be. That's why some great scientists turn to theology in their later years." "Do you... still doubt him? I thought you had complete faith in that great being." "Do you know what my biggest doubt is?" Alfred mocked himself, "It's that he has no doubts." "I know, you told me about the holy song and the words." "Not only that, do you remember a month ago when I left Ruo Jia to go to Bellwin City?" "I remember." "Many churches sent people there, and even the Rulan government's army was mobilized to block off the area. Do you know what happened there?"

"What's the matter?""Some people held a god descent ceremony in the suburbs of Bellwin City.""God descent ceremony?" Ms. Molly's face was calm, "What is it?"The god descent ceremony is often used in many church rituals, praying for the descent of light and will from the god they serve, guiding the lost believers."Oh?" Alfred lowered his voice, "But the god summoned in that ceremony was an evil god, and an unknown one at that!"The term "evil god" does not refer to a single entity, it is a general term.The large orthodox churches with a long history and tradition, their gods are worshipped as true gods;Their gods have nothing to do with "evil gods", because anyone who dares to call their worshipped deities as evil gods will be exterminated by them.In addition to the large orthodox church, there are also many small churches. Although their number of followers is not as large and their influence is not as great as the large church, the god they serve is respected and recognized as long as they survive.In addition, there are also branches of "gods", which are systems of gods that are attached to branches of the orthodox church. These gods may be disciples of true gods or may have served the large church in the past and gradually evolved into new branches. In terms of narrative structure, they can be integrated.

Even some evil gods, such as those with extreme doctrines and followers who act ruthlessly, have been besieged and even exterminated. Their beliefs and the gods they serve cannot be considered as evil gods.Evil gods...they have no faith, they do not exist through faith. Their definition, to put it bluntly, is a singular existence. They roam between heaven and earth, or are sealed in some corner of mythology, but can be "summoned" through "divine descent" and "guided" to them.This is a destructive act,because such behavior is likely to bring great disaster, who knows what kind of thing will be summoned in the end.However, for many years, although such disasters have occurred, they have not happened many times, and there are few records in ancient books.The reason is the limitation of specifications.The specifications of the divine descent ceremony need to be prepared.The level of specifications directly determines what kind of existence the "god" you invite will be.Here, it not only refers to material preparation, in fact, the material preparation is relatively simple, and most materials can be bought directly with money, even "sacred artifacts";The level of specifications is linked to the ability of the ceremony's host.

The stronger the ability of the ritual leader, the higher the standard of the divine ritual.And those who have the ability to hold high-standard rituals are mostly found only within the orthodox church, because only the orthodox church can achieve such development.For the priests of small churches, being able to summon a ray of light during a divine ritual is already considered the limit, and they are even grateful for it.But for the priests of the large church, summoning miracles is a normal occurrence, and for higher-level priests or leaders, summoning "divine artifacts" is recorded in ancient texts.The lowest level of summoning for a "demonic god" ritual is summoning a weak demon that is wandering nearby, which can still scare an ordinary person half to death even if it doesn't have the ability to kill.As the standard of the ritual increases, the strength and types of demons summoned will also increase.But,all of this is tolerable.In this world, having one more powerful demon is not considered a big deal, as the orthodox churches have a deep foundation and can easily destroy them with a wave of their hand.Therefore, demons either hide in remote corners or are very cautious in human society, not daring to cause too much trouble.

Often solved, it is the brainless low-end goods like the possession of Mrs. Xiusi that are actually the ones that are solved.What the Great Church cannot tolerate,are the higher-level evil god summoning rituals.Because the Great Church monopolizes these high-level rituals, all the summonings that can be called "evil gods" in ancient books are done by these orthodox high-ranking members within the church.These people, also known as "rebels", are not only rebelling against their own church, but also attempting to overthrow the entire order framework.During the day, they have the ability to guide down miracles through divine descent rituals;So,at night, they can have the same ability to summon and guide down powerful demons beyond what is tolerable... also known as "evil gods".Each time an "evil god" descends, it is a catastrophe, causing extremely terrifying turmoil, and even leading to the downfall of a orthodox church;Because the summoned evil god may have fought against a true god in the previous era or in mythological legends, or may have been suppressed and sealed by that true god.

Upon returning, even if my strength has weakened significantly, the hatred towards the enemies from before cannot be described in words.What's even more bizarre is that throughout the entire era, no matter how dominant the orthodox church was, they could only summon "divine artifacts" or "divine shadows", and no church had the ability to summon the "true god" again.In the absence of the true god, in order to suppress the evil god once again, a terrible price must be paid.Mrs. Molly's face finally showed a look of shock: "Evil god!"Immediately after,Mrs. Molly's eyes turned and she asked:"Did it succeed?"Alfred seemed very satisfied with Mrs. Molly's change in emotions and said, "If it didn't succeed, why would it attract so much attention? Similarly, it can be inferred that the scale of this god summoning ceremony must be extremely high.Otherwise, even if we summon another you, or summon another me, what does it matter?""No, Alfred, what I mean is, are you saying..."

Alfred nodded and said, "A powerful and outrageous judge, haha. After that duel, do you know what I was most afraid of? It seemed like we fought to a draw and both were injured. But after careful consideration, I realized that the spells he used were only taught and used by judges of the Order Church. A member of the Order Church with much stronger power than a judge deliberately fought me using judge-level spells. It can only mean that he is hiding his true strength." "So, in reality, you couldn't defeat him?"

"Ms. Molly, this is not the point!""Okay, sorry.""Besides, I didn't even use my full strength. I'm also afraid of being completely wiped out by the Order of the Divine Order.""Okay, go on.""Today, tonight, I understand.""Is it him?" Ms. Molly asked, "The grandfather with the bloodline of the great being? But that divine ritual happened in Bellwin..."At this point, Ms. Molly fell silent;Because it would be foolish to hold such a taboo ritual in the city where she lived. It must be done in a different place."So, Ms. Molly, what I suspect is not his greatness, he must be a great being, there's no doubt about that!What I suspect and fear is, under his divine appearance, what if he is actually an evil god?"

"Evil god,That is a terrifying existence that even the two of us, as demons, fear and dread." Alfred glanced at the area where Mrs. Xius was swallowed up earlier, muttering to himself: "The light of order. Perhaps, he is a terrifying being that was once suppressed by the god of order." Mrs. Molly had some doubts: "What about my... physical body?" Alfred pushed down his hat brim and reminded her: "Don't worry, whether it's a true god or an evil god, in front of him, we just need to play our roles well, not make noise, not disturb, not spy, and when he needs us, we will be there at his call, willing to give everything."

"Alfred, can you describe this character more clearly? I'm afraid I won't be able to play it well.""Sure, listen carefully."Alfred opened his arms and said, "Woof! Woof! Woof!"..."That's how it happened."Karen drove and told Di about what happened tonight without holding anything back.For some reason, every time she looked in the rearview mirror and saw Puer sitting in the back seat, she spoke during the gaps in driving.

Karen's heart would always be filled with a sense of restlessness, but he believed that he was not the kind of p*****t who would abuse cats."Grandpa, do you think those two are stupid? I was really scared at the time, but luckily I managed to fool them and save my own life."Dis sitting in the passenger seat didn't say anything.And Puer, sitting in the back seat, had a more human-like smile on his face.Finally,The car stopped,Stopped at the entrance of the Xius Crematorium.Since Grandpa Darcy's death, the Xius Crematorium had closed down, and even if it hadn't, it would have been closed at this late hour."Why are we here?" Dis finally spoke up.Karen explained, "Sheriff Duke should be able to find clues soon and discover that Mrs. Xius is the real culprit."

Unless Sheriff Duke is a stupid donkey, no, even if he is a donkey, he will still solve the case."So, I plan to send Mrs. Shu's clothes and car back to the crematorium, creating the illusion that Mrs. Shu knew the truth and had already escaped. After all, we can't find Mrs. Shu anymore."She's gone.Dis nodded in agreement.Karen got out of the car with Mrs. Shu's clothes, which was also her car.Among the belongings, there was a set of keys. Karen opened the door and walked in with a backpack, followed by Dis.Puer walked elegantly behind them, its graceful silhouette elongated by the moonlight.Karen arrived at the office, which was just a wall away from the crematorium.In the early morning, the crematorium was filled with a depressing silence.Karen placed Mrs. Shu's clothes on the floor and on the table, then opened the backpack and took out the tools inside. Hmm, it was really quite abundant.

Mrs. Xiu Si's artistic level was average, but she was well-prepared with her art tools, just like a student who is not good at studying but always likes to prepare new stationery before studying.Karen pulled a chair over and sat down."Grandpa, I estimate that the police should be able to find out who the killer is tonight. They will definitely send police to the crematorium first. Of course, if they don't come, you can call the police after you go back and say that your grandson has been missing since he sent Mrs. Xiu Si home at night.In addition, please tie me to this chair, pretending that I am the next victim.As for Mrs. Xiu Si, we can say that she ran away when the police arrived.Tonight, the police won't be fooled by our activities with Aunt Mary and Mrs. Xiu Si, so we have to do this to wrap things up."Di nodded,He walked around behind Karen and silently took out a dagger from the pile of tools in his backpack and played with it.Karen, sitting on the chair, was still waiting for his grandfather to tie him up, unaware of what was happening behind him;He only saw the black cat Pu'er squatting in front of him, and the smile on its face made him more and more uncomfortable.

"Grandpa, there is another way. You can use some objects to knock me out, so when the police come, it will have a better effect and I can deceive them more easily.Or you can look for some sedatives or other psychiatric drugs here, so it will be easier for me to explain to the police afterwards.""No need for all this trouble."Dis walked up to Karen.Karen smiled and said, "Of course, it's all up to Grandpa to decide. Whatever you choose, I believe in you, Grandpa...""Poof!"A sharp pain struck, and Karen couldn't believe it as she lowered her head.

He saw,On his chest,A dagger was inserted.By his ear,He heard his grandfather's voice:"The mistake that started with me should end with me.":
