Personality V: I will save everything

How should I express this feeling? After my true identity was exposed, thinking back carefully, it seems that there is no significant difference from my usual state.

However, the only obvious change was the survivors, who seemed to keep a certain distance from me, intentionally or unintentionally, as if out of instinct.

I think it's understandable!

After all, these poor people have been living in this weird and dangerous world, suffering endless torture and manipulation by the mysterious manor owner.

Presumably, the suffering they have experienced is enough to make them terrified, so that now even if they sense even the slightest potential threat, they will choose to avoid it without hesitation.

In the face of such a situation, I actually didn't care too much in my heart. Because I knew that changing their views on me would not be a one-day job, and I could only win their trust step by step and slowly. Time will prove everything. As long as I always treat them with kindness, I believe that one day we will be able to eliminate the barriers between each other and become true partners who rely on each other.........

I am looking forward to...

...................................................................

the other side,

Xie Bian and Fan Wujiu were dazed when Karl pulled them out of the mysterious umbrella. This sudden situation made them a little confused, and they had no idea how to deal with this little guy next.

Isn't this obvious? The two brothers were busy being ghost messengers, handling cases, and arresting ghosts all day long. How could they have time to think about how to play with their children?

Moreover, they have never started a family, and they don't have any younger brothers to take care of. When it comes to getting along with children, it's like trying to blow fire with a rolling pin - they know nothing about it.

But the little brat Carl refused to give in and held on to the two men's clothes tightly and refused to let go.

Look at his pitiful appearance, his mouth curled up, his eyes reddened, and tears were about to burst out like a flood. (?д?; )

If Xie Bian and Fan Wujiu couldn't quickly come up with some interesting ideas to cheer him up, I'm afraid we would hear his earth-shaking cries in the next second.

"Alright, alright, my little ancestor, what do you want?" Fan Wujiu looked at the mischievous little guy in front of him - Carl, with a helpless look on his face. He felt angry and amused at the same time.

To be honest, Karl is very majestic and dignified when he is working, but once he returns to his daily life, he immediately turns into a little devil who is spoiled to the point of lawlessness.

Hearing Fan Wujiu's question, Karl's eyes lit up, as if he had been waiting for this question for a long time, and shouted excitedly:

"I want to eat candy! Um... that's the candied haws you promised me before! And, I want to eat that sweet and delicious dragon's beard cake too! I want to eat them all, I want to eat sweet things!"

However, after Fan Wujiu and Xie Bian looked at each other, they said almost in unison: "No!" Their attitudes were extremely firm, and there was no room for negotiation.

After all, candy is not like rice. It is just a snack to satisfy your appetite occasionally. But Carl, if no one is watching him, he can eat candy as if it were his three meals a day! How can this go on? He must not be allowed to indulge his love for sweets like this!

But how could this matter be so easily resolved? Would Karl just give up if Xie Bian and Fan Wujiu said "no"?

The answer is obviously no. Little Carl pouted and used the trick that every child knows - crying!

In an instant, the crying sounded like thunder, resounding throughout the room.

"I don't want it! I want to eat it! The adults don't keep their promises!!!"

??(?′Д｀?)??

Later, Xie Bian was really at his wit's end. He looked at Carl, who was stubborn and insisted on eating candy, and shook his head helplessly, and finally raised his hands to admit defeat. After all, facing this cute and stubborn little guy, he really had no better way.

You know, the owner of the manor had repeatedly warned them not to give Carl too much sugar, because it might have a bad effect on the child's teeth and health.

However, at this moment, looking at Carl's pitiful little face covered with tears, Xie Bian thought: Compared with the manor owner's warning, it is more important to make this little baby happy first!

So he squatted down, gently stroked Carl's hair, and said softly: "Okay, okay, my little ancestor, I surrender. Carl, don't cry anymore, uncle will make you some candy, okay?"

When he heard that there was candy, Karl's big eyes, which were originally red and swollen from crying, instantly lit up, flashing with excitement. It was as if all the unhappiness just now disappeared in an instant, and he was looking forward to the upcoming sweet moment with joy.

"Candy, sweet candy..." Carl couldn't help but mutter to himself, with a happy smile on his lips. His look was so adorable that it melted people's hearts.

(????)

When Xie Bian saw Carl's innocent and lovely reaction, he couldn't help but feel a deep sense of pity and love in his heart.

Fan Wujiu turned his head slightly and looked away, as if he didn't care at all about Xie Bian's special treatment for Karl.

After all, in his opinion, if Carl got cavities because of eating too much sweets, it would be Carl himself who would suffer the pain in the end. If this naughty child is not taught a lesson, he will probably never learn to restrain himself and learn his lesson.

However, even if he occasionally received a small punishment, Carl would often forget the pain after the wound healed, and would return to his old ways after a short while, forgetting all the previous lessons.

It seems that those painful experiences are nothing but passing clouds to him, and they can't affect him from indulging in his pursuit of sweet temptations. I really don't know how to make this little guy really understand the truth!

.................................................. ..................

Xie Bian solemnly promised to make delicious desserts for Carl himself, but when he stepped into the kitchen of this strange manor, he was stunned by the scene before him.

He had already prepared himself mentally, knowing that this manor would be different from the one he was familiar with and might be a little shabby, but he never expected that the kitchen here would be so terrible!

The kitchen before him looked as if it had been through a terrible disaster:

The walls were mottled and peeling, and the floor was covered with cracks and stains; the stove was old and worn out, not only was it missing parts, it was also pitch black; the cupboard door was crumbling, and the tableware inside was toppled over, and some had even been broken into pieces.

This is not a kitchen, it's just a ruin! Could it be a super tornado? !

Looking at the mess, Xie Bian was extremely anxious. He had boasted that he would make exquisite and delicious dragon beard crisps and candied haws for Karl, but now he couldn't even find a set of decent pots and pans.

Let alone cooking delicious food, just cleaning up this mess would take a lot of effort! But no matter what, since I have already promised someone, I must not break my promise.

So, Xie Bian took a deep breath, rolled up his sleeves, and decided to start by looking for usable kitchen utensils............

...................An hour later...............

Xie Bian sat quietly on a shabby and rickety wooden box, which looked like it would fall apart at any time.

He bent his waist slightly, with his elbows resting naturally on his knees, his hands crossed and gently supporting his chin, and his whole body appeared in a posture of deep thought.

At this moment, he couldn't help but ask himself: Can he say that he has given up? -_-||

However, the reality was so cruel that, let alone finding the ideal kitchenware, even a relatively intact pot took him a lot of effort and a lot of time to finally find one in the mess.

And the so-called "pot" was actually just a piece of scrap iron that was about to be broken.

What made Xie Bian even more disheartened was that just now, Norton walked into this messy kitchen and poured himself a glass of water to quench his thirst.

While chatting, Norton actually told him that the resourceful owner of the manor had successfully found fresh ingredients and usable kitchen utensils from the piles of ruins in front of him, and made a delicious cream pie by himself.

Hearing this, Xie Bian simply couldn't imagine the situation at that time.

Oh my God! How did the owner of the manor do it?

You know, how different is the kitchen in front of him now from being completely scrapped?

Looking around, it was hard to find any intact kitchen utensil, or even something decent.

Faced with such a terrible situation, Xie Bian felt extremely frustrated. He really didn't know how he could create a miracle like the owner of the manor and make exquisite snacks for the lovely Carl.

Do I really have to use my hands as kitchen utensils to dig and dig? Thinking of this, Xie Bian sighed helplessly.

To make matters worse, while frantically searching for kitchen utensils, Xie Bian was shocked to realize a devastating fact - the key raw material "sugar" did not seem to exist here at all!

This was undoubtedly like a bolt from the blue, hitting him hard in the heart. You know, he was originally full of joy and wanted to cook a delicious dessert for Carl himself, but now he lacked the important element of "sugar", wouldn't it be difficult for a good cook to cook without rice? What should he do? !

Just as Xie Bian fell into deep depression and frustration because of this incident, Norton, who had been observing silently at the side, finally couldn't stand it anymore.

He patted Xie Bian's shoulder gently, a sly light flashed in his eyes, and then he slowly pointed out a "bright path" that seemed like a life-saving straw:

"Hey, friend, why don't you think about asking Andrew for help? Have you forgotten? He owns a whole candy world! I believe that no matter the ingredients or the necessary kitchen utensils, as long as you ask him, he will be able to solve it, right?"

These words were like enlightenment, and Xie Bian's eyes instantly brightened.

Yes! Why didn't I think of asking Andrew for help? Although most of the desserts in the candy world controlled by Andrew came from European countries, there was no doubt that the basic raw material "sugar" would never be in short supply!

Thinking of this, the haze in Xie Bian's heart was suddenly swept away, replaced by full of hope and expectation.

...................................................................

"Give!"

After listening to Xie Bian's request, Andrew generously took out a large bag of white sugar and handed it to Xie Bian.

Even if there were no remaining items, they managed to find replacements.

Maltose, white sugar, starch, water, oil...

The only thing missing is soybean powder.

That is the key to making dragon beard crisps, but the problem lies here......

"Can't find it?"

"It's hard to find."

But in fact, it is no different from nothing.

Soybean flour... Just adding it to Western desserts is weird, right? It's like trying to blend two completely unrelated things together. It's weird.

"Then there may be no other way..........."

Is Xie Bian going to give up? Of course not. He plans to rub the soybean powder by hand. Although it is more troublesome, it is the only solution.

“Are there any soybeans?”

"Here you go." Andrew couldn't find soybean powder, but he could still find the raw material of soybeans.

Just as Xie Bian turned around and left with joy and brisk steps, he suddenly passed by a figure.

In an instant, a familiar feeling came over him, and he subconsciously thought that the person coming towards him was Karl.

With a burst of excitement in his heart, a bright smile instantly broke out on his face. He was about to go up to the other party happily to share that he had successfully found the raw materials needed to make dragon beard cakes, and would soon be able to present the delicious cakes to him.

However, when he looked carefully, he was surprised to find that the man in front of him was wearing a gray-black robe, and his whole body exuded a unique temperament of melancholy and dullness, which was completely different from the lively and cheerful Carl!

It turned out that this person was not Carl, whom he had been thinking about, but the undertaker.

Realizing that he had recognized the wrong person, Xie Bian's face instantly became a little embarrassed.

However, he was a man who had seen the world after all. He quickly adjusted his mood, politely greeted the undertaker with a smile, "Hello!" Then he planned to leave in a hurry to avoid continuing to be trapped in this embarrassing situation.

But before leaving, Xie Bian heard the undertaker muttering something behind him.

"He is so happy."
