13 Minker Street

Chapter 402 Family!

Karen put on her apron and got to work in the kitchen.

The ingredients were all prepared and handled by Xili and Mrs. Lake in advance, and the broth Xili had hung out early, so Karen now only needs to be in charge of cooking.

For culinary lovers, this is the best enjoyment, as if the white and tender shrimp meat is taken out and placed in front of you.

Ashley walked in and asked, "Captain, what can we do to help?"

"Sit outside and have a drink, just wait to eat, no help here, really."

"Oh yes, Captain."

Ashley walked out of the kitchen, winked at the big guy, and shook her head.

There was a big round table in the yard at this time, which was customized by Alfred according to Karen's order, and there was a turntable on it.

Karen didn't want to divide the meals at the team's first dinner party. Sitting around a big round table would be more atmospheric. You can't stir the spoon with one plate, so how can you work hard together in the future.

"What happened to the captain last night?" Murray asked Alfred next to him in a low voice.

"The young master is fine, everyone don't worry." Alfred actually didn't know what happened, he was busy outside today, but the young master's face was not so ugly in the morning.

After sitting for a while, Alfred said he was going to fetch wine, got up, and went into the study.

In the study, Kevin was lying there on his belly, his tail sweeping and sweeping on his belly.

"What happened?"

"Wow woof woof woof!"

"Okay, I know."

Alfred stood up, came to the bedroom, and saw Pu'er sitting on the edge of the bed with a serious cat face.

Seeing Alfred coming in, Pu'er said, "There will be a way, I'm thinking of a way."

Alfred made himself smile, and comforted: "Don't worry, there will definitely be a way."

"Are you comforting me? I know it's hard to think of a solution, because it's a problem that God can't solve, but I sat in the bedroom all afternoon, listening to Karen screaming in the bathroom, and he kept his voice very low , but you know, cats have very sensitive ears.

Diss handed him over to me, and I have to be responsible for him. To be honest, I would rather watch him face danger and fight, than watch him being tortured like this. This is torture, you understand? Radio leprechaun. "

"The young master is cooking fish. I'll ask Xili to bring it in for you later."

"What fish to eat, I have no appetite."

"The young master specially made it for you. Eat it. Before you think of a solution to the problem, all you can do is to adjust your mentality. I believe in the young master's firm will."

"I'm really useless." Pu'er's tail curled up, "I'm really useless, radio goblin, I'm so afraid that Karen will end up like his parents and end up like that."

"No, master won't."

"Oh, by the way, Karen asked me to tell you that I recently took the time to make two coffins and put them in the warehouse. I want the kind of strong coffins that add formation."

"Young master means..."

"Yes, he said maybe a month, maybe two months, maybe even just next week, that feeling of torment could come back at any time, and he would imprison himself in a coffin."

"I see, I'll start preparing tonight."

"Yeah." Pu'er tilted her body and fell sideways on the quilt, "Oh, I'm such a useless cat."

……

The dishes are served on the table one by one, which is very rich.

In addition, Karen asked Xili to send Kevin's share and the pickled fish and carp baked noodles exclusively for Pu'er.

After Karen untied her apron and took a seat with her chopsticks, everyone picked up the cutlery and began to eat.

But the atmosphere at the dinner table was still a little depressing.

Especially when Philomena said: "Your soul is very weak."

The atmosphere suddenly fell into a freezing point.

Karen smiled and said, "In order to obtain some kind of power, I have to pay a little price, but it doesn't affect it. It will be fine if you take a rest. Please rest assured."

"Oh, I see."

"That's right, how could something happen to the captain."

Everyone tacitly promoted the table atmosphere, but probably no one would have guessed that the power in Karen's "to gain a certain power" refers to the power of order.

When the dinner party came to an end, Karen said: "Recently, I have a private task at hand, which is an ancient family tomb, but this family has lost its inheritance through generations.

I've already got the clues and information, and I'm working on the mission plan now, it shouldn't take long to complete it. "

Well, because the person who made the mission plan couldn't get out of bed and run around these days.

"My idea is that our team has just been established, and we just need a task of appropriate intensity to get used to it, especially this task may bring relatively large benefits."

Karen told his team members directly: We are going to rob the tomb!

This is nothing, because of cultural differences, everyone actually does not feel ethically guilty about the "tomb robbery".

Karen has studied cognition in this cultural context, which is very clear and contradictory.

First of all, the tombs in the cemetery cannot be destroyed. We must respect them. Anyway, under normal circumstances, even if there are a few funerary objects in the coffin, the tombs in the cemetery are limited.

Then there is the kind of tomb that came out alone, which has basically been interpreted over and over again by literary works such as novels and modern film and television over the years.

In everyone's perception, a large-scale tomb alone is a natural holy place for exploration!

At the same time, the nation-states of the Maclean language family were bandit states in the early years. For example, Wayne first established his country by pirates. Colonial expansion is now underway as an endorsement.

Another important reason is that for the followers of Kosmos, they are not going to rob the tomb, they are going to visit, because they have the ability to call up the owner of the tomb and have a chat together.

"If everything goes well, we will set off in about two days. After this mission is over, we will come back and try to pick up the security mission of the Moon Goddess delegation's visit to York City. This mission can take a good rest."

"Okay, captain, you can arrange it."

"Oh, it's an experience I've been longing for before."

"look forward to."

"I can not wait any more!"

Everyone gave me a lot of face and expressed a warm welcome to the first task.

At this time, Alfred stood up and said, "I have prepared the drawing board and brushes, and everyone will sit down for a while and have some dessert, Heely, take out the white fungus soup."

"Yes, Mr. Alfred."

Alfred continued: "I'll make a picture for everyone."

Richard wondered, "Why didn't you take a picture?"

Murray replied: "Because it's bad luck to take pictures."

Richard shrugged, and said, "It's such a fresh statement. The last time I heard this statement was when I saw an old Chase shouting at the roadside to take away the soul."

Murray took a sip of the red wine and said with a smile, "I just experienced it."

Richard froze for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Sorry, please forgive me."

"fine."

Tremella soup was served, and everyone continued to chat while eating.

Alfred sat across from him, holding paintbrushes in both hands, at a very fast speed.

As a man who regards mural painting as his lifelong dream, it is normal to master the painting technique well in advance.

However, Alfred did not pay attention to "artistic quality", and he was not interested in spreading the artistic quality, so his paintings only pursued a simple presentation.

Karen took a sip of the ice water at hand, and glanced in Alfred's direction.

Sometimes I have to admit that some people are real geniuses.

Alfred is, and so is Captain Neo.

Compared with them, there are too many external forces that I can rely on and borrow. Just one Diss has paved such a good road for myself.

However, thinking of the scene in the bathroom in the afternoon, Karen suddenly felt that he didn't need to be so ashamed, as anyone's mouth would be scalded by boiling water.

"Okay, the painting is finished!"

"So fast?"

"Oh, what an amazing speed."

Alfred showed the painting to everyone.

In the painting, everyone is sitting around a round table, and Karen must be facing him from the first perspective. In the painting, Karen puts his hands on the table as if he is lecturing, and the atmosphere of a leader is very obvious.

Then came the other people at the dinner table. Ashley held her wine glass boldly, Bart and Murray gnawed pig's trotters, and Blanche sat very ladylike and looked at Karen out of the corner of her eye.

Mass and Memphis are calm, Richard is lively.Ventura lowered his head and ate the egg fried rice with rice grains on his face, while Philomena sat in the corner alone.

Alfred also drew himself on it, standing behind Karen.

"The party is over, let's rest. By the way, you need to go to the Academic Affairs Building to go through the formalities for performing duties." Karen stood up, "Good night, everyone."

"Good night, Captain."

"Captain, you should rest early."

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

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

The beauty of the hearse appears at this time, it is spacious enough.

Everyone who was full of food and drink got into the hearse one after another. In order to make room for the seat, Richard directly lay down in the pit in the middle.

But when the car started, Ashley wondered, "Where's Philomena?"

Bart replied, "Have you gone back alone?"

Memphis said: "No, she stayed. She must have something to talk to the captain alone."

Blanche sighed: "It seems that people will."

Richard said, "Maybe, what's the matter?"

Ashley snorted, and said to Richard: "Then you definitely don't know how active a girl can be when she puts down her reserve and arrogance."

Richard retorted: "I have experienced it. Now every time I go to that street and say the name of 'Master Eisen', those aunts and aunts will scream excitedly."

Masi asked curiously, "Whose name is 'Master Eisen'?"

"My dad's."

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

Richard said disapprovingly: "My dad has a brain problem. I use his name to help those poor aunts and aunts. They are very touched. Maybe they will call out my dad's name when they pick up the fake call. I don't think so. I pray for my father's illness."

Memphis said, "You are so filial."

"That is, my dad doesn'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 was even more tired now after cooking a large table.

But this is what he should do. It is impossible for the team to be immersed in the cloud of the captain's physical problems at the first dinner party.

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

This is not for nicotine, but to stimulate his soul with the tobacco leaves in special cigarettes. He is afraid that he will pass out while sitting at this moment.

"There's something wrong with you," Philomena said.

"The reason for my body is what I said before when I ate."

"You're covering up the truth. Your problems are so serious that you need to use self-harm to distract yourself."

Karen exhaled a smoke ring, looked at Philomena, and asked, "And then?"

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

"Your grandma?"

"My grandma is a madman, she can't control herself sometimes."

"It's not the same thing that happened to me and your grandma."

It can't be the same thing either.

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

"Oh, of course, I'm touched by your concern for leaving me alone."

"You can create a cage for yourself outside of reality, lock yourself in when you need it, and release yourself when everything returns to normal.

I can give you my family's spells for this aspect, please give me a blank scroll, and I will rub it. "

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

"unnecessary?"

"I know what kind of spell you are talking about. Will it be like you and your grandma in the end, treating reality as a dream and dreaming as reality?"

"Yeah, sometimes it's indistinguishable, but it really works. Everyone needs a good place, and everyone needs a pain dump. If good and pain can be kept in two separate areas, then not only It can reduce pain and increase beauty.”

"Then have you ever thought that without pain as a comparison, can beauty be considered beautiful? Can people feel pain without beauty as a foil?"

Philomena said nothing.

"I didn't mean to target you or your grandma, but my own personality, and I'm not used to this kind of self-avoidance or even self-enclosure. I will choose to face it directly."

Because, I have no way out.

"Okay, I see." Philomena stood up.

"Philomena."

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

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

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

"Okay, I see, 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 telephone in the room?"

"Installed."

"Ok."

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

"Ah."

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

Karen shook his head and said: "I'm not trying to be brave, but it's impossible for me to do this at all. Even if I can really seal the hunger, I clearly feel that this hunger will become stronger every time. Strongly, maybe even hooked to my realm.

If I seal it up, one day, it will break through the confinement and submerge me in an instant, and I won't even have a chance to resist. "

"Well, I see, but I have another method here, which will definitely work."

"what way?"

"I've conveyed the message for you, let the radio goblin build two coffins."

"Two bites?"

"Yes, two bites."

"That's right, keep a spare, in case the formation above is broken."

"No, you take one bite, and I take one bite."

"What do you mean?"

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

"Do you know how painful it is?"

"Karen, I have experienced more storms than you, and I have endured more pain and torment than you." Pu'er said, flicking his tail, "So, don't treat me as someone who doesn't know anything. My little girl, when my mother and sisters were arguing about whether a man should be straight or bowed, Diss hadn't been born yet!"

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

Pu'er spread out his paws, and said, "Heh, can you feel superior even when you suffer pain? Isn't it the pain of the God of Order? When I refined this finger, you didn't suffer from the pain of the God of Light." Punishment!"

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

If it is not to prevent myself from hurting you, why should I put myself in the coffin?
Pu'er said quietly: "But when I am safe outside and can't feel anything, knowing that you are suffering inside will make me very uncomfortable."

"I don't think suffering needs to be shared, really."

"That's because there wasn't an opportunity, so sharing difficulties and empathy and I would rather the pain happen to me are all those brainless hypocritical bullshit in romance novels.

Now, we have this ability, why not do it?

Karen, besides rubbing fireballs, there is not much I can do to help you. "

Pu'er jumped onto Karen's body, followed his arm to Karen's shoulder.

Karen turned his head to look over, while Pu'er stretched out two claws to hug Karen's face, stared closely into his eyes, and said:

"I promised Diss to take good care of you."

"Well, you seem to have said it the other way around."

"As Diess said, the family motto of the Inmeles family is: Family comes first.

For you, Diss is willing to blew his godhead fragments into a deep sleep; Mason Marie and Winnie are willing to pay you a high mortgage in order to let you live comfortably in Wayne and not get angry in Allen Manor.

Between real family members, help should be provided within the scope of one's ability.Unless you, Karen, don't think I'm Pall a member of the Inmeles family, don't recognize me as a family member.

So, the next time we experience that hunger, let's bear it together, shall we? "

"Ok."
