Chapter 49 Take off the mask(1/3)
"Everyone is like a spider spinning a web in life.
Whether you are looking forward to it or fearing it, but no matter what, you will be involved in someone else's web at an unexpected moment.
The network involved can be very large, so large that it gives you the illusion that you can go wherever you want;
But it can be so small that sometimes a gust of wind can easily blow away your self-righteousness in an instant."
This is the inscription under Mr. Hofen’s tombstone, which was designed, written and customized by Karen himself.
There are a bit too many words and the sentences are a bit long, but fortunately Mr. Hofen’s tomb is relatively large. A tomb is as big as the tomb of other people’s husband and wife. Therefore, if I don’t write more or leave something behind, it will appear too empty.
Karen felt that she and Mr. Hofen were like spider webs that had no chance of intersecting in the first place. The first time they came into contact, the result was not very good;
But finally,
But it was this old man who, with great perseverance, insisted on helping the Immelais family "clear their suspicions."
The only carrier of suspicion is actually oneself.
Today, Dis was not wearing priest clothes. He just stood silently in front of the tombstone and looked at the photos on the tombstone.
Karen led the mourning crowd through the burial ceremony, and finally took a shovel and filled the soil for Mr. Hoffen with his family members.
Finally, everyone placed the flowers in their hands in front of the tombstone, and the ceremony ended.
Karen took the water glass from Mina's hand, took a big sip, then walked to Dis and handed the water glass to Dis.
Dis took the water glass, held it in his hand, and said:
"I'll stay with Huofen for a while. You should have something to do today, right?"
"Yes, Mina invited Teacher Eunice to the amusement park."
Dis nodded and said, "Don't delay too much."
Karen really wants to ask Dis, since the suspicion of the divine descending ceremony has been avoided through pre-arrangement, what is it that makes Dis "urge" him like this?
However, since Dis didn't want to say it, he wouldn't ask again.
Karen half-bowed to the tombstone:
"Grandpa Huofen, I'm going on a date with the beautiful lady. I'll see you next time."
Subsequently,
Karen walked to the small road next to the cemetery. Alfred was already standing by the car waiting, and at the same time helped Karen open the door.
"Rhine Street."
"Okay, Master."
Alfred started the car.
Karen wanted to close his eyes and rest for a while. He had put a lot of thought into Mr. Hofen's funeral. This morning, he even broke his original biological clock and got up early. It can be said that the family treated Mr. Hofen's funeral.
It’s higher than Mr. Modes who chose Package B.
Of course, this is not a question of money.
Just like a chef cooking for guests and cooking for his own family, cooking for his family will be a little more casual and he won't pay too much attention to the presentation, but only he can understand the taste and intention.
But at this moment, Karen found that there were several newspapers placed in front of him, and they were all folded in the appropriate position.
Karen opened a newspaper: "Mr. Morf is seriously ill, may the Morf Consortium face reorganization?"
Mr. Morf has died a long time ago. Well, it can also be called "completely missing." However, the Morf family obviously did not choose to expose this news, but concealed it. This involved the property and power within their family.
Disputes.
"Environmental protection girl gave a passionate speech on the cruise ship!"
There are photos and accompanying pictures. On the cruise ship returning to Wien, Delise gave an environmental speech with a ferocious look, fully explaining what excessive force is.
Next is the news that really involves the current affairs of Luojia City.
"The car driven by mayoral candidate Mr. Ford and Councilman Mr. Hargett accidentally rolled over into a reservoir, resulting in a crash and death."
"Old Mayor Xixon was accused of illegal means to attack his competitors and has been put on file for investigation. At the same time, he announced his resignation as mayor of Luojia City and stated that he would no longer participate in the next mayoral election."
Mr. Oka did not report to the newspaper because his identity is mysterious and he should have Wayne's background.
The disappearance of editor-in-chief Humil was not reported because of insufficient identity.
"Master, it seems that the special department has intervened. This is a department above the police that is responsible for investigating and solving strange demon incidents." Alfred explained.
"So, they were also responsible for the deaths of Ford and Haggett?"
"Probably, in order not to cause panic in the society, because we actually did not cover up that night. Several crime scenes left very clear traces of strange demons and the power of faith. As long as they investigate, they will definitely find some clues."
Karen couldn't help but think of the woman with the hooked nose and the gray dress.
"Is there going to be a problem?" Karen asked.
"There shouldn't be any problem, because our actions that night were all in compliance with the "Order Regulations". As long as the master makes an after-action report and submits it, the Church of Order will be responsible for communicating with the local government and the secret police department.
It’s a small thing.”
Alfred emphasized the last sentence slightly.
As long as the Cult of Kosmos is still strong, they will represent absolute justice, whether it is positional justice or procedural justice.
"Even if the matter has a greater impact on the social class, an ordinary judge who does such a thing may be dealt with by the district, but I should not have this burden. Please don't worry, young master."
Alfred still remembers the conversation that night:
"Grandpa, are you injured?"
"It's okay, I have some side effects after using the forbidden spell."
Alfred felt that it was fortunate that when he and the master fought that time, the master only used spells that were only used at the inquisitor level, otherwise it would be difficult for him to exist.
"Alfred."
"Master, please tell me."
"Grandpa seems to want me to go to Wien."
"Wayne, that's a great place, a big country, a big city, a big stage. Compared with it, Luojia City is like a quiet little village at the foot of the mountain."
"I mean, grandpa might be in some trouble."
"The followers of great beings will always encounter some troubles, but they will successfully solve them. Even if they cannot be solved for a while, when the great beings truly wake up, they will choose to resurrect them to repay them for protecting themselves in the early days of their awakening.
Kindness.”
Karen frowned slightly.
Alfred quickly explained: "Many of the stories on the murals are like this."
Karen was too lazy to talk to him.
"Master, you went to Rhine Street to pick up Teacher Eunice, right?"
"Well, Mina asked her teacher to go to the amusement park."
"Huh?" Alfred glanced back, "I forgot to let Miss Mina get in the car."
Karen waved his hand:
"Mina has a stomachache and can't go."
…
The guests had left long ago, and only Dis was left in front of the tombstone.
Dis sat down silently against the tombstone;
"I really want to use the 'awakening technique' to wake you up and chat for a while."
Of course, this is just talk.
The "awakening" of the Cult of Kosmos can indeed resurrect the corpse, but this resurrection can only last for a very, very short period of time. After the last bit of spirituality in the body dissipates, it becomes completely "rotten flesh".
Therefore, from the standpoint of the "Religion of Order", there is really "safety" in laying one's body to rest.
Dis opened the water glass again, took a sip of water, and then placed the opened water glass in front of the tombstone:
"It is precisely because the God of Order wants nothing that this is what makes me most uneasy.
Free things are often the most expensive.
The most ridiculous thing is,
I released the seal on myself in advance for the sacrifice, which made it impossible to suppress the realm.
It won't take long,
The Temple of Order will sense my presence,
They will extend an invitation to me and give me what they consider to be the supreme honor, allowing me to enter the temple and become one of the elders to serve the underworld God of Order.
But I don’t want to go;
For everyone else in the Cult of Kosmos, no, for most of the so-called orthodox religions today, the temple has always been the most noble place in the hearts of believers.
