Alfred also painted himself, standing behind Karen.

"The party is over, let's take a rest. By the way, you need to go to the Academic Affairs Building tomorrow to complete the formalities for performing your duties." Karen stood up and said, "Good night, everyone."

"Good night, Captain."

"Captain, please rest early."

"I'll take everyone back." Alfred said with a smile.

Several people, including those who live in York City, have also arranged accommodation in Allen's apartment. However, they are completely free to go home. But after all, it is the first night and most people will stay in the apartment and have a good sleep.

It was at this point that the beauty of the hearse emerged, it was spacious enough.

Everyone who had eaten and drank enough got into the hearse one after another. In order to have a free seat, Richard lay down directly in the hollow in the middle.

But when the car started, Ashley asked doubtfully: "Where is Philomena?"

Bart replied: "Did you go back alone?"

Memphis said: "No, she stayed. She probably has something she wants to talk to the captain alone."

Blanche sighed: "It seems that people can do it."

Richard said: "Maybe, something really happened?"

Ashley snorted and said to Richard: "Then you definitely don't know how proactive a girl can be when she lets go of her reserve and arrogance."

Richard retorted: "I have experienced it. Every time I go to that street and say the name of 'Master Eisen', those aunts and uncles will scream with excitement."

Mas asked curiously: "Whose name is 'Master Aisen'?"

"My dad's."

"You use your dad's name to go to Dim Sum Street?"

Richard said disapprovingly: "My dad has a brain problem, so I used his name to help those poor aunts and uncles. They were very touched, and maybe they would even call out my dad's name when they were pretending to be receiving jobs. I don't think so."

It’s a prayer for my dad’s condition.”

Memphis said: "You are so filial."

"That's because my dad didn't know how many good things he did in his previous life to meet such a filial son like me."

…

"What to drink?"

"Not thirsty."

"Ice water."

"OK."

Karen sat down on the chair behind the desk and leaned back a little tiredly. He was really tired, and he had taken care of a large table of meals, and now he was even more tired.

But this is what he should do. The first dinner party of the Impossible Team was immersed in the dark cloud of the captain's health problem.

"What's the matter?" Karen took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a puff.

This was not for nicotine, but to use the tobacco leaves in special cigarettes to stimulate his soul. He was afraid that he would pass out just sitting at this moment.

"There is something wrong with you," Philomena said.

"I mentioned the reason for my health when we were eating before."

"You are covering up the facts. Your problem is so serious that you need to use self-harm to divert your attention."

Karen blew out a smoke ring, looked at Philomena, and asked: "Then what?"

"I don't know what happened to you, but I know how my grandma dealt with it."

"Your grandma?"

"My grandma is a crazy person. She can't control herself sometimes."

"What your grandma and I encountered were not the same thing."

It can't be the same thing.

"I think you can listen to my grandma's method."

"Oh, of course, I am very touched by your behavior of caring about me when you are left alone."

“You can create a cage for yourself outside of reality, lock yourself in when you need it, and then let yourself out when everything returns to normal.

I can give you my family's magic in this area. Please give me a blank scroll and I will make a rubbing."

"No." Karen raised her hand, "I thank you again for your kindness, but I don't need it."

"unnecessary?"

"I know what kind of magic you are talking about. In the end, will it be like you and your grandma, who treat reality as a dream and dreams as reality?"

"Yes, sometimes it is impossible to distinguish, but it is really effective. Everyone needs a paradise of beauty, and everyone also needs a garbage dump of pain. If beauty and pain can be placed in two separate areas, then not only

It can reduce pain and enhance beauty.”

"Then have you ever thought about it, if there is no pain to compare, can beauty be considered beautiful? Without beauty as a foil, can it still make people feel pain?"

Philomena said nothing.

"I don't mean it against you or your grandma, but because of my personality, I am not used to this kind of self-avoidance or even self-isolation, so I will choose to face it directly."

Because, I have no way out.

"Okay, I understand." Philomena stood up.

"Philomena."

"Captain, do you have anything else to do?"

"Do you want to wake up from your dream?"

"I don't have this idea, and I don't think it's necessary. Although I know what you just said, captain, is very reasonable, but I just like this and am used to it."

"Okay, I understand, thank you."

"Am I going back to the apartment? They seem to be going back to the apartment."

"Yes, a room has been arranged for you."

"Is there a phone in the room?"

"Pretended."

"OK."

"You go to the front to find the servants of God and ask one of them to drive you to the apartment."

"Um."

After Philomena left, Pu'er ran into the study, jumped on the desk, and said, "What she said seems to be a method."

Karen shook his head and said: "I'm not trying to be brave, but it's simply impossible for me to do this. Even if I can really seal the hunger, I clearly feel that this hunger is getting stronger every time."

It's so strong that it may even affect my state of mind.

If I seal it away, one day it will break through the confinement and drown me in an instant, without me even having a chance to resist."

"Well, I understand, but I have another method here that will definitely work."

"What method?"

"I conveyed the message to you and asked the radio fairy to build two coffins."

"Two mouthfuls?"

"Yes, two."

"That's right, keep one as a backup in case the formation above breaks down."

"No, one bite for you and one bite for me."

"What do you mean?"

"The meaning is very simple. Next time you encounter a situation like that in the afternoon, you activate the symbiotic contract relationship, summon my perception, and I will share it with you."

"Do you know how painful this is?"

"Karen, I have experienced more storms than you, and I have endured more pain and torture than you." Pu'er said, shaking his tail, "So, don't treat me as someone who doesn't know anything.

As a little girl, when my mother and sisters were arguing about whether a man’s lower body should be straight or curved, Diss hadn’t even been born yet!”

Karen smiled and said: "It's different."

Pu'er spread his flesh claws and said: "Oh, can you even bear pain and feel superior? Isn't it the pain of the God of Order? When I refined this finger, you have never endured the pain from the God of Light.

Punishment!"

Karen shook his head and said: "When I am suffering in the coffin, I will feel better knowing that you are safe outside."

If it wasn't to prevent myself from hurting you, why would I put myself in a coffin?

Pu'er said quietly: "But when I am safe and feel nothing outside, I will feel very uncomfortable knowing that you are suffering inside."
