There is an established thinking that it seems that people are more likely to have a favorable impression of another person who is very similar to themselves. It is like a kind of "ethnic" cognition. Because of the similarity, they are instinctively close to each other.

But in fact, it depends on the situation. For example, elders tend to pay more attention and love to their juniors and regard them as their inheritance, because one of them is about to end and the other is just reborn, and there is no collision.

Opposition and squeeze.

For people with strong personalities, a strong desire for control and who "think they are smart", they often have awkward situations when they meet "same kind".

Because you have become accustomed to weaving a web for yourself. Externally, this web is your own protective layer and provides you with a safe space. Internally, it is a reflection of your own will, and you can arrange the layout of every spider thread.

Therefore, if another spider suddenly appears in your original web, and it starts to learn from you to weave its web and learn from you to build its own protective layer, there will inevitably be a "conflict" between you.

However, this "conflict" does not necessarily mean extreme expression.

Karen certainly doesn't think that Neo would want to "get rid of" her, but many times she will feel a little uncomfortable for no reason. After all, when facing you, she will feel that her habits and authority have been destroyed, and she will feel uncomfortable and uncomfortable.

coordination.

You can't hit or scold, let alone say anything. You can only use this "identity reminder" method to convey your emotions, and it's not external, just to make yourself more comfortable.

For example, Ophelia acted "clever" earlier, which made Karen feel uncomfortable instinctively.

In this small group of his, whether actively or passively, Karen has become the only will.

There used to be a thorn-headed Philomena, but she was suppressed recently.

"Are they all arranged?" Karen asked.

"When we return to the young master, everything has been arranged. We all have our own rooms and servants. Those who are injured are also undergoing restorative physical therapy. Old Mr. Anderson has made good preparations."

"Um."

"Master, have you told Miss Ophelia about the Dark Moon Goddess?"

"Yes."

"When my subordinate came in, he was very excited when he saw her reaction. I can understand this feeling."

"Haha." Karen rubbed his brows, "There may be trouble in this mission again. Let's take it one step at a time. At least, in York City, our safety is guaranteed."

"Yes. By the way, young master, I have something I need to ask for permission. There is a name on the list of people who are eligible to go to the performance hall after the dinner tonight. I don't know whether I should add it to the list."

"who?"

"Master Richard."

"Alfred, I have been thinking about one thing. Does my grandmother's Alt family bloodline have other effects?"

Alfred blinked and immediately responded: "What the young master wants to ask is whether the bloodline inspired by the Alt family has the attributes of the same camp?"

"Your description is too cold."

"Yes, it's because my subordinate's language is not organized well. I feel that if the Alt family bloodline is inspired, it will be equivalent to an extra layer of shackles. For example, Memphis, he has been suffering from nightmares because of your mother's affairs.

Torture, for him, betraying blood relatives not only means an ethical and moral burden, but also an additional layer of punishment.

As for Master Richard, he should have inspired this bloodline, otherwise he would not have had a good impression of you from the beginning.

Therefore, from the perspective of Alt blood, Mr. Memphis and Master Richard actually have bonus points in terms of trust."

Karen nodded and said, "I think so too."

"So, does Master Richard's name need to be added this time? And, does it need to add another Mr. Memphis?"

Karen smiled,

road:

"No more."

…

"Hey, I said, why don't you go back and have a good rest and lie down for a while?"

While riding his horse, Richard turned to ask Philomena, who was also riding out beside him.

Philomena ignored Richard, holding the reins with her left hand and hanging her right arm by her side. While adjusting to the slight bumps of the maroon horse beneath her, she looked at the lush scenery around her.

Allen Manor is like spring all year round. Even in winter, the grass here is green, not to mention that now is a season full of life.

It can only be said that the Allen family has a rich ancestor. Although the family status in the church circle is not very high, as a pirate family, it was once extremely luxurious. Just the environment here must have cost a lot of money when it was first built and decorated.

incurred huge costs.

"When we were in front of the undersea tomb, I saw you take action. It was really powerful, so decisive, so crisp, tsk tsk."

As Richard spoke, he gestured to cut his throat with a dagger.

Philomena opened her eyes, turned to look at Richard, and said, "I said I am better than Karen, what do you think?"

"Oh, of course, you must be better than Karen, what kind of thing is Karen!"

Philomena lowered her head and couldn't help but pull the corners of her mouth slightly.

She had rarely left her grandmother's side or home since she was a child, so she had never seen such a shameless guy like Richard before.

"Anyway, you are all very powerful. I know you are powerful in a way that I will never be able to catch up with. But the feeling of being powerful is different. When I face you, I feel that I will definitely die..."

"What about facing Karen?"

"There is no way to say that Karen gives people a kind of pressure, that is, he presses you steadily from all aspects. When you think you are just a little behind him and try hard to catch up, you find that he is just politely trying to catch up.

Just show it a little bit."

"I think he can't beat me in a ring competition." Philomena paused, "But as an enemy, I can't beat him."

Philomena couldn't help but picture Karen summoning [Black Hell Castle] alone in her mind. You must know that at that time, he was still summoning and blessing Ashley.

If such an opponent really fights each other to the death, he will definitely die in the end, because he is not sure to end the battle as soon as possible, and once the battle is prolonged, he will have no chance.

"I actually didn't care about this before, but it was during the last regional selection that I had to change my mind."

"If I remember correctly, you were carried up the mountain by Karen?"

"Yes, I felt so ashamed at that time. Oh, it wasn't directed at Karen. Karen really had nothing to say to me. I just felt ashamed of myself."

"Are you and Karen related?"

"The captain is an orphan."

"The lady in the tomb said that he is not. His family background is the highest among all of us."

"Then our Guman family is even less likely to be related to Karen."

"I really want to know his identity, I'm very interested."

"Then you can take the initiative to ask him. Don't investigate secretly. If you are discovered, the consequences will be tragic. I believe that after everyone is dismissed and goes home, everyone will keep the captain's family background a secret from the elders.

Because sometimes elders will not think from your perspective, but like to do what they want to do while moving themselves under the banner of doing your best.

It's such a shame for us because this is our relationship."

Philomena said: "Only the weak like to study interpersonal relationships all day long."

"Yes, I only got into this team because of my good relationship with Karen. Otherwise, why would my dad be a psychopath?"

"Your father often beats you?"

"It wasn't like this before. Recently, after I recovered from my injury and was able to walk downstairs to eat by myself, I felt that something was wrong with the way he looked at me, as if he was planning a reason to hit me."

"What happens after he beats you?"

"After the beating, I will recuperate."

"I mean, won't there be any changes in your family relationship?"

"No, I still call him dad as usual, and since he started beating me, I have talked more with my grandma, and my relationship with my mom seems to have recovered."

"I really envy you."

"Why do you envy me? Envy that my father can beat me?"

"Yes, I envy your father for being able to beat you. I really hope that my father can stand up and beat me, even if he beats me seriously... or even beats me to death."

Philomena's mind pictured her father lying under the table.

In her eyes, her father's cowardice is the most unacceptable.

"Actually, regrets from the original family are very common."

Richard began to picture the way Karen usually spoke in his mind, and tried his best to make his tone and expression as close to Karen as possible at this time.

"I chatted with them in the pastry shop. The family situation of many people is also very miserable. Those who were sold to smugglers by their parents were arranged to pick up customers there, and their husbands would personally pick them up here in the morning and evening to go to work. If there is a period of time when picking up customers means there is less income.

It has dropped so much that my husband still has to give gifts to the manager and ask for more clients.

But how can I put it, every time I chat with them in the cubicle listening to the noise next door, I can always feel the positive and optimistic side of them, on the one hand, for themselves, and on the other hand, for me.

.

There are always mostly kind people in this world, and there are many people who are still willing to pass on their warmth to those around them even though they are suffering."

"Do you like going to dim sum shops?"

When asked this question, for some reason, Richard suddenly had an image of Karen telling Her Majesty Ophelia that she went to the Mermaid Theater on Dark Moon Island.
