Chapter 29 Tell you the secret(1/3)
Karen looked at Ron, and then at the copper coin in his hand;
so,
The money that the old woman has been looking for all day was stolen by you?
I almost lost my life last night along with Pu'er. Is it because of your cunning?
But looking at it from another perspective,
If an employee of your own family steals something from someone else at work, it seems natural for them to seek help from you, the "little boss" of the family business.
But,
Here comes the question,
Is that old woman bewitching strange demons?
If she was, why was she lying in the morgue as an unclaimed corpse?
If she is not, does it mean that the old woman's mutation was caused by this copper coin? In other words, this copper coin can produce bewitching monsters in batches?
But look at Ron's "silly paralysis" appearance now,
It was really hard for Karen to compare him to the old woman last night who could use tricks and possess corpses;
Is it because Ron has not been in contact with this copper coin for enough time? Or maybe the old woman was not an ordinary person during her lifetime? Therefore, the changes that occurred between the two after being affected by this copper coin were very different.
Right now, the only thing that is certain is that there is definitely something wrong with this copper coin.
Karen remembered that "Pu'er" said something called a "holy vessel". Ordinary people need to go through the process of "purification" to become servants of God, and "purification" requires the breath of the "holy vessel".
Therefore, "sacred artifact" is just a pronoun, and it does not specifically refer to "sacred artifacts." Just like Pu'er said, strange demons and priests are essentially the same?
"My money...my money...my money..."
Ron's mouth was still drooling and he was still mumbling.
"Ron, what's wrong with you?" Paul seemed to sense that something was wrong with Ron.
Karen raised his hand, intending to return the copper coin to Ron first and let him return to normal temporarily.
Ron is a member of the family, and he won't slip away. Besides, he is almost home. Calling Dis as soon as he gets home is just to make Ron happy with the "copper coins" for a while longer.
but,
When Karen was about to hand over the copper coin,
Suddenly a deep feeling of reluctance emerged in his heart,
This feeling is hard to describe...
For example, if you pick up a penny on the side of the road, it is easy to hand it to the police;
But if you pick up a gold brick on the side of the road, even if you hand it over to the police in the end, you must have gone through some struggle in your heart.
No matter how good the character is, no matter how excellent the conduct is, as long as he is still a human being, he will still have "greed" desires.
Karen took a breath, her heart skipped a beat, and she still put the copper coin back into Ron's hand.
Ron smiled immediately, his expression returned to normal, and he kissed the copper coin;
Karen felt a sense of loss and emptiness in her heart.
I have only held it for a while, has this copper coin already affected me so much?
The power of this copper coin is really amazing.
You know, it's just copper, it's not valuable!
The hearse finally arrived at the door of the house. At this time, the last batch of condolences guests were walking out. Today's condolences are over.
"Whose funeral?" Karen asked Paul.
"Today is old Darcy's." Paul replied.
"Old Darcy?" Karen was stunned for a moment and asked, "Who paid the funeral expenses for old Darcy?"
Old Darcy had a family and relatives and friends, but it was obvious that no matter how much water was dug out of the incinerator, his family would not be willing to hold a funeral for him at the Immelais' house.
The last Mrs. Hughes who said she would help old Darcy hold a grand funeral has already fled in fear of crime in the eyes of the police.
"Mrs. Hughes's property has been confiscated, the cremation society is preparing to be auctioned, and the rest of the property will be given priority to compensate the victims." Paul replied.
Uncle Mason, who had just turned off the engine, turned around and said, "We are considering whether to take over the Hughes Cremation Society."
"What about the price?" Karen asked.
"I still don't know about this. I'm going to have a meal with the officials in charge of the auction in two days and ask them about the benefits they want. Who would really go directly to bid these days?"
Paul and Ron took Karen out of the comfortable coffin and put him on the stretcher;
"Karen?"
A familiar voice sounded, it was Piaget.
He was wearing solemn attire today, obviously coming to attend the funeral of old Darcy.
"After all, old Darcy once collected Linda's ashes for me, so I came to mourn for him. At the same time, I knew that you were going to be discharged from the hospital in the afternoon, so I waited a little longer."
Piaget's smile was still so warm and his words were gentle.
"one two three!"
Paul and Ron took the stretcher out of the hearse.
Ron accidentally dropped the copper coin in his hand and rolled to the ground.
For a moment, Ron wanted to let go and grab the copper coins.
Fortunately, Uncle Mason who was next to him quickly reached out to catch the stretcher, otherwise Karen would roll over at the door of the house. If the wound accidentally burst, he would have to be sent to the hospital before he even entered the door.
Piaget bent down and picked up the copper coin.
"My, my, my." Ron kept saying while walking towards Piaget.
Piaget handed the copper coin to Ron;
What made Karen a little strange was that when Piaget handed over the copper coins, his expression did not change at all, and he still maintained a warm smile.
But I had only held it for a while before, but I felt obviously disappointed.
so,
Is it because Piaget was too rich?
Does it really make no difference to him whether he picks up a penny or a gold brick on the side of the road?
"My copper coin, my copper coin." Ron held the copper coin in his arms like a baby.
After Uncle Mason cooperated with Paul to safely place the stretcher cart on the ground, he came directly over and kicked Ron, knocking him to the ground, but even so, he still held on to the copper coin.
"Are you crazy just now, Ron!"
Ron was unmoved and just smiled stupidly at Mason.
Uncle Mason gritted his teeth, but didn't say anything more. He helped Paul push Karen home with a sullen face.
Piaget took off his hat and said goodbye to Karen:
"I'll come to visit you again in a few days. You have a good rest."
"Okay, Piaget."
The stretcher cart was pushed into the living room. If you push it to the basement, it is very convenient. Just go down the ramp.
Fortunately, this time Paul and his colleagues did not suffer from the occupational disease again.
The stretcher on which Karen was lying was carried to the third floor and pushed into Karen's room.
Lunt, Mina, and Chris have to go to school today. Because the standard of old Darcy's funeral is still relatively low, there is no shortage of manpower, so there is no need for the three of them to take leave today.
After Karen was placed on the bed, Aunt Mary came in with snacks and water.
"My Karen, you have really suffered. Take a good rest when you get home, and tell your aunt what you want to eat."
Because of Mrs. Hughes's incident, Aunt Mary felt really guilty for Karen.
"Auntie, is grandpa at home?"
"Yes, yes, it's in the study." The aunt smiled at this. She knew that Dis valued his grandson very much, but due to the elder's face, he couldn't personally welcome his grandson home. "
I'll go call grandpa here."
Not long after,
Dis' figure appeared at the door.
Karen didn’t waste any time, or even exchanged greetings, and said directly:
"Grandpa Ron has a copper coin that was stolen from the corpse of an old woman in the hospital morgue. The bewitching demon last night was probably looking for this. I took the copper coin and I could feel it being attracted to it for a while. Now the copper coin is still there, Ron.
On your body!
Hiss...hoo..."
