Evil God

Chapter 10 Black Notes

When driving, there were two VIPs sitting in the car;

When driving back, there were two jars of distinguished guests sitting in the car.

Although the funeral was a bit simple, and could even be called a scribble, when they returned from the cremation, the sky saved face and it started raining, which could be considered as helping Jeff and Mr. Mosan to set off a farewell atmosphere in this world.

Karen looked at the Cinerary urn in front of him, and sure enough, those jars in the basement can't be used to pickle!

The ashes that have just been incinerated are hot;

So sometimes, in order to rush the time, the family always brings a jar from the basement to pack it, and after it is packed, it is replaced with an ash box with the company label at home;

Jeff's urn needs to go through the last step of the process and be placed in the cemetery in the welfare area, and none of Mr. Mosan's children are willing to take over his urn;

Normal cemeteries, even if they are not buried, are not cheap, so they would rather spend an extra sum of money to help ease relations with the Emrys family so that their father can "get" a benefit.

So, essentially, Jeff rubbed Mr. Mosan's funeral and lay down for a while;

And Mr. Mosan, Also rubbing against Jeff's welfare bill;

If there is no accident, the two's ashes will be placed in two adjacent spaces after being sent to the welfare cemetery together.

It's also quite good,

If I feel lonely,

You can use your own skulls to smash 'walls' against each other.

Karen was still thinking about the cost price of the ashes box mentioned by Old Darcy, and curiously asked Uncle Mason, who was driving:

“Uncle, how much profit does our coffin make?”

“A regular coffin can earn about twice the profit, while a specially made or specially designed coffin can earn two to three times the profit;

Some decent individuals who worked in the government during their lifetime would choose to be solemn and introverted;

Those who hold noble titles and have a solid family background will customize luxurious coffins belonging to the nobility according to their family traditions, and will also engrave the clan emblem on them.

The words of the nouveau riche are much simpler, they like the glory and splendor the most.

By the way, there is a special coffin selection brochure at home, which contains over 200 types of coffins. If you are interested, you can go back and flip through it.

Oh, the prices listed above are basically five times the purchase cost. When promoting to customers, we will give them a 'discount'.”

Several times the profit,

Karen was mentally calculating,

That's okay, it's not as exaggerated as the urn in the Xius crematorium. They sell it for less than 50 yuan, with a profit of 1000 or 20 times!

What a coincidence,

uncle Mason, too, is opening his mouth, to take an example from earlier:

“Our profits may not be as steep as those of the Hughes crematorium urns, but how much do they charge for an urn that doubles that much?

Our most basic type of coffin is 10,000 rupees.

In addition, we and their customer groups are different, in our here, the last to be cremated are... ... well, bad customers, but their main customer base.

They burn bodies there every day for a month, and we can make the same profit as them by doing three normal jobs.”

Of course, people like Mr. Morsan are not normal customers.”

“Uncle, have you thought about expanding?” Alex Curran asked.

Mason shook his head. “I made a bad investment. I leveraged it. Do you know what leverage is, by the way?”

"Yes."

“it's good that you know. Anyway, I'm sorry to tell you that my poor nephew, your grandfather's money is the portion of the inheritance that you can inherit in the future because your unworthy uncle has shrunk a lot.”

After a pause,

mason added:

“Don't be angry with uncle.”

In accordance with the Ruilan Country tradition, is generally responsible for the eldest son to inherit the family business, the younger son is out to explore.

So, from a custom perspective, Karen, as the eldest grandson of the eldest family, should be the future spokesperson of the funeral service, while Mason, at most, has no say in the distribution of money or shares.

“I don't blame you, uncle.”

In the memory of the previous' Karen ', there has always been a good impression of this uncle.

Through more than half a month of contact, Karen also discovered that although Mason is "lazy", "promiscuous" and greedy, he has many problems with his body, but these problems are actually common to ordinary people;

But most importantly, Mason has a very positive attitude towards life, family, and money.

The person who longs to make money and make a comeback the most is actually him. He, who used to work in financial investment in big cities, can only drive a hearse to pick up and drop off customers now, which is obviously impossible to meet the current situation.

When Karen asked if he wanted to charge the nearly 20000 rupees of "consulting fees" into his public account, he didn't hesitate to refuse, and it was clear that he wasn't the kind of person who would take money from his nephew.

For those who are working at home and can enjoy dividend treatment, he and his aunt, along with Grandpa and Aunt Winnie, will be able to share half of the 20000 rupees with their aunt next month.

After all, earning this money did not actually incur any operating costs... If it weren't for Karen giving Old Darcy 1000 rupees, the cost would have been nothing more than a small spit.

“By the way, Karen, next time, when there is business, you should try to communicate with the client and let's see the results. If the results are good, you can also join the company as a family member and enjoy dividends.”

“Okay, uncle.”

Working for Emrys. No, working for Dis, It's my honor.

“Besides, I don't think it's necessary to expand now as you just mentioned, because even if we can borrow from the bank, we won't be able to compete with those chain companies in terms of scale.

So my feeling is that we need to improve our service quality and find new profit growth points, like you.”

“Actually, Grandpa can't take on this job? "Karen asked.

Grandpa is a priest.

Mason disapproved and said, "Hey, who would tell the truth to God again.”

At this point,

There was a puddle ahead, and the wheels got stuck, causing a significant jolt.

The car was ok, but two urn of ashes collided and made a "bang" sound. Fortunately, it was not damaged.

Mason looked back at it,

Say:

“I will die in the future and have no plans for a funeral, let alone a coffin. I don't even want Mina and Lunt to prepare an urn for me,”

“Hmm? Does Uncle see it that way?”

“There are some things that I've seen too much, and I don't think they're very meaningful anymore. As I get older, as long as Mina and Lent can be filial to me, and when I close my eyes, even if they use the black plastic bags used by the vegetable market to buy fish to hold my ashes, I have no complaints.”

“How will the ashes be arranged? "Karen asked.

“This is a good arrangement. Find a larger flowerpot and put it inside for me. Then add some soil and plant anything on top, which can be placed in the flower bed.

When you're at home, you can pour me some water. When you're not at home, I'll just help you keep an eye on the house.”

At this point,

On the way back, Ron, who had just woken up by the turbulence. Upon hearing this conversation, he was curious and said:

“Mr. Mason, Master Karen, are you talking about such a heavy topic?”

“What about Ron, what are your plans for your future funeral?”

Mason grabbed the steering wheel with one hand and lit a cigarette with the other hand, casually asking.

“Hehe, I must plan to spend the last penny on my body before I die.”

“What about your family? "Karen asked.

“Tomorrow after work, I will go to the nursing home to make an appointment with the nurse lady. If she is not with me in the end, I probably won't have a family in the future.”

“What about your future affairs?”

"The afterlife?" Ron patted his stomach. "The afterlife is simple. I heard that Roja Medical College collects Body donation from the society. They will also respectfully call the donated body... What's the name of the teacher?"

Karen said, "General teacher?”

“Yes, yes, it's still Master Karen who knows more. Hehe, before I die, I'll sign an agreement to donate myself and become a general teacher

Mason shook his cigarette ash and smiled, ",Ron. Your image instantly towered in my eyes.”

“That, that... "Ron scratched his head. “I couldn't learn well from a young age, and I couldn't really get into the knowledge from books. I dropped out of school early and came out to find work. But I know that those who can get into Roja Medical School are those who study well.

I just feel that in the future, I will be lying there as a stupid and inferior student, and have those excellent students with good academic performance stand next to me, bowing to me together and calling me a teacher. What a delightful and enjoyable thing it will be.”

“Hahaha, "Mason laughed.

Karen couldn't help but laugh, but still spoke up and reminded, "Then Ron, you need to lose weight.”

“Losing weight? "Ron said somewhat unexpectedly." Do you still need a body size requirement to be a general teacher?”

“That's not true, but you know what? After cutting open your belly, your fat will pile up there. Then those students will probably endure nausea while flipping through your fat and cursing at you in a low voice: Oh my god, why is my general teacher such a chubby person.”

Ron straightened his waist and said, "Is it so scary.”

Immediately,

Ron was deeply lost in thought about his future affairs.

Mason, on the other hand, asked curiously, "Karen, how did you know about this?”

“Aunt Mary told me, you know, sometimes she handles some bodies that are in terrible condition, so sometimes she can't help but curse at the dinner table.”

Mason nodded thoughtfully and said, "Yes, her temper is getting worse and worse.”

Next,

Mason sighed,

I flicked the cigarette ash again,

Say: “It's all my fault.”

……

When we got home, it was already nine o'clock in the evening. After we put the Cinerary urn in the basement, we finished my work today.

For dinner, there is a late night snack, mashed potatoes, bacon, and vegetable salad.

Karen washed his hands and came over to see this dinner. To be honest, he was slightly disappointed, especially today when he left the house and came back later than usual, feeling even more hungry. He was looking forward to a delicious and rich dinner.

But……Next time, I'll do it myself.

“Dear, I opened you a canned herring.”

Upon hearing "canned herring", Uncle Mason immediately opened his arms, smiled, and kissed Aunt Mary several times in front of Karen:

This is really a happy dinner, I love it, and I also love you who prepared it for me, dear

The day before yesterday, Uncle Mason sat in the car and told Aunt Mary that the pies she personally made were his only favorite delicacy;

As for another delicious dish to go to the restroom, it refers to "canned herring".

Karen blinked and suddenly had an ominous premonition.

Pop

There is air in the can, and when it is opened, there is a muffled sound inside.

Next,

A foul smell of rotting meat directly permeated.

Karen's stomach went into a spasm and then went up to his throat, but fortunately, he forcefully pressed it down.

In front of this smell, Stinky tofu is simply a little cute fragrance with its own fragrance agent!

Uncle Mason forked a piece and put it into his mouth, chewing while showing a look of enjoyment.

Immediately,

He didn't even ask Karen,

Simply fork a piece of mashed potatoes and place it in front of Karen:

“Eat it, Karen. In this family, you and I have always been the most loyal fans of canned herring, no, it is our believers.”

Karen held her breath and looked at Mason, who forked another piece and shouted:

“Come on, For our faith.”

After speaking,

Once again, the extremely enjoyable chewing was given into one's own mouth.

Karen's face showed a look of embarrassment,

But,

Who called the last 'Karen' to love this kind of food.

Additionally,

For Karen, who loved Stinky tofu in his last life, he had a vague guess that this thing should smell like Stinky tofu, and taste delicious?

Muster up courage,

Karen forked it up,

At the entrance.

In an instant,

Wow~

Karen's eyes immediately widened,

He couldn't even swallow it, so he picked up his napkin and vomited all of it. Then he immediately got up and left the table to go to the bathroom, starting to vomit.

By the table,

Mason sitting and Mary standing were slightly surprised.

“What's wrong with him? "Aunt Mary wondered.

Uncle Mason speculated, "When we came back, there was a leak and rain in the car. Maybe he had a little cold.”

“Then I'll prepare some medicine for him.”

……

After vomiting,

Karen panted helplessly.

Turning his head, he saw Pu'er standing at the entrance of the bathroom. The cat was staring at him, and looking at the curvature of its mouth, Karen had a feeling that it was laughing at him.

“Are you laughing at me?”

Pu'er's expression remained unchanged, her tail wagged.

At this moment, Aunt Mary's voice came from outside: "Karen, are you catching a cold? I've brought you some medicine.”

“Okay, aunt, I'll come out to eat later.”

“So your night snack?”

No, That damn night snack,

Karen doesn't want to go back to that dining table anymore, and now he doesn't even want to go back to the second floor!

The entire second floor should be filled with the smell of canned herring at this time.

“There are quite a few snacks at Lunt's place, and I can eat just a little. My stomach is not very comfortable, so I shouldn't eat too much.”

“Alright, take care of yourself. If you still feel unwell tomorrow morning, I'll take you to the clinic.”

“Thank you, aunt.”

Aunt Mary turned around and left,

Vaguely,

Karen heard his aunt scolding his cousin Lent: “Lunt, you have so many broken teeth that you dare to steal snacks. Since you don't want your teeth anymore, I'll tear your mouth open now.”

In the bathroom, Karen felt a little sorry for his cousin, filled with guilt for his younger cousin, and then he took a comfortable shower.

After taking a shower, Karen wiped his hair with a towel and walked back to his bedroom.

On the desk in the bedroom, there are milk, bread, water cups, and pills.

Lunt was sitting on the ground, sorting out the boxes that had been placed under the spring bed. When he heard Karen enter the room, he turned around and looked at Karen with great satisfaction: “Brother, my mother has searched for all the candy and chocolate I have hidden.”

The cousin didn't have much resentment on his face, nor did he blame Karen, just a bit helpless.

“I should have known earlier that I shouldn't have been so frugal. I only ate one pill every night and should have eaten it all to my heart's content,”

“Hehe.”

Karen smiled and took out 1000 rupees from her pocket. After hesitating for a moment, it seemed inappropriate for the child to take too much money. In the end, she only took out three and handed them to Lent.

“Take it and buy some sugar to eat. After spending it, ask for it from me.”

Lunt didn't reach out to take it, but shook his head and said, "I can't spend brother's money.”

“Isn't it appropriate for younger brother to spend his brother's money?”

“No way, Mom said we need to take care of brother because he didn't... "Lunt immediately changed his mind." Actually, I also have pocket money.”

If Karen is included, there are four children in the family.

Reasonably, the monthly allowance for the four children is the same, and this part of the expenses is also included in the public budget;

But because all the cousins have parents, their pocket money is kept by their aunts and aunts on their behalf, and they have very little in their hands.

On the contrary, Karen, because he has no father or mother, and his elders are also embarrassed to "keep" his pocket money, so he distributes it in full every month, which is also why Karen was able to save 6000 rupees.

“Brush your teeth carefully every day, eat sugar carefully and control it. It's okay.”

Karen still placed three hundred rupees on Lunt's bed and found that there were many books and notebooks on Lunt's bed, which should have been dug up by his aunt during her previous "search" because they were supposed to be placed under the bed.

One of them has a notebook with a White Rose on the cover, but it was deliberately painted red with a red pen.

Karen easily opened it,

On the first page, there is a picture of three people, two big and one small. Although the artist is very abstract, it can be clearly seen that on the left is the father, on the right is the mother, and in the middle is the child.

The child in the middle can be seen as a boy because she did not draw long hair to indicate female characteristics like the mother on the right.

“You painted well, "Karen said to Lunt.

“Brother, this is not my notebook.”

“It's not yours?”

In this room, if it's not Lunt's, it can only be... "Karen"'s.

Karen pondered for a moment, but he couldn't recall this notebook in his memory.

However, this is also normal. Looking at the paper version of the notebook, it should be a bit old;

Although he inherited the memory of 'Karen', he naturally couldn't remember some things if Karen himself had already forgotten them.

“Lunt, it's time you brushed your teeth and got ready to sleep.”

Aunt's shout came from the stairwell.

Thanks to the fact that Emrys 's family lives in a single villa, if they live in an apartment, they will inevitably receive complaints from neighbors with their aunt's voice.

“Coming, Mom.”

Lunt ran out of the room.

Karen sat on Lunt's spring bed and continued flipping through the notebook.

The painting on the second page is no different from the first page, still featuring a couple with a child added between them.

The third page is the same.

Karen lost some interest, but when he opened the fourth page, he furrowed his brow slightly.

The picture on the fourth page has been completely painted black, leaving only a circular blank in the middle.

If analyzed from a professional perspective and from the perspective of children's painting,

This painting means that the child who created it lacks a deep sense of security;

“Black, in fact, is also a Crypsis.”

This pattern of composition conveys a feeling that is similar to being afraid when it gets dark in childhood, wrapping oneself tightly around the blanket, but leaving a gap to peek out or breathe fresh air.

Of course, the feeling presented in this painting will be more severe than that.

Karen continued flipping through the pages, and the next few consecutive images were all similar, except for some changes in the position of the blank circle, sometimes appearing at the bottom, sometimes at the top, or leaning to the left and right.

After flipping through another page,

Karen's hand was stuck there.

Because in this painting,

A man and a woman are depicted horizontally, according to the previous style, they should be "Dad" and "Mom".

Drawing horizontally presents the meaning of lying down.

Because there is a person drawn vertically in the painting, he is standing.

In the picture, the "lying" "father" and "mother", extending from their abdominal positions, have clusters of black things, and their sides have also been smeared with black pens.

Karen couldn't help but swallow her saliva,

Is this the wound... and the blood flowing from the ground.

And the person standing, it is an adult image that has never appeared before, holding something in his hand.

Karen brought the notebook close to his eyes and carefully studied the object, which was drawn by a child. Often, he could only guess by chance.

“Is that a sword in his hand? Even this sword is too short, isn't it?”

Suddenly,

Karen's mind flashed back to the sword hilt he saw placed in the black box on the way back from the hospital that day when he was helping his grandpa clean his burnt arm skin!
