13 Mink Street

Mr. Eisen's expression made Karen's heart tremble slightly. He keenly sensed that Mr. Eisen seemed to know something.

When Karen walked up to the platform where Mr. Eisen was, and when he went up the stairs, Karen didn't have the kind of warmth that relatives might recognize in his heart. Instead, he felt a sense of anxiety and...a sense of crisis.

It's not that he hasn't told others about his secret, Neo, Ventura and Murrie all know it, but none of them can betray themselves.

On the contrary, Karen has always been very wary of the "Guman" family, his mother's family.

But when he came to the platform and saw the smile and tears on Mr. Eisen's face more clearly, Karen couldn't help feeling some repentance and guilt.

"team leader."

"Um."

Mr. Eisen raised his hand and set up an isolation barrier. Then he spread out his left hand, and the key to the Rubik's Cube appeared. Soon he set up a mental bridge formation that was so simple that only two people could use it for a short distance.

These actions proved that he really guessed something.

Karen sat down in front of Mr. Eisen and took the initiative to connect to the spiritual bridge.

"Captain, I have something to tell you."

Not to ask, but to say.

Karen nodded and said, "Say."

"I have misunderstood your identity many times, especially when I was studying space. For a long time, I always thought you were an elder of the temple.

And you also... admit it. "

A slightly embarrassed smile appeared on Karen's face.

"Karen, you are my sister's son and my nephew."

Without any hesitation, Karen nodded and replied:

"Yes, uncle."

Mr. Eisen raised his head and opened his mouth. After the "uncle" fell into his ears, the tears in his eyes couldn't be controlled at once, and dripped out completely.

He started to cry, crying with his head in his arms, crying hard, his body was shaking constantly, but his crying was still so suppressed.

...

Philomena, who was sitting there falling asleep, woke up halfway. She turned her head to look at the cat and the dog, and then at Karen, and sneered in her heart:

When did whispering become popular in the squad? Why did the atmosphere suddenly become like this?

But she was not a very curious person, so she closed her eyes and continued to "wake up".

...

Facing Mr. Eisen who was obviously out of control at this time, Karen, who is best at comforting people, didn't know how to face him at this time.

Because he knew the deep relationship between the man in front of him and his mother.

If it wasn't for his deep feelings, he wouldn't have become what he was before because of his mother's death.

The bloodline of the Alt family is that the closer the family members are, the deeper the bond is. It is not the bloodline that creates the family relationship, but the real family relationship that can stimulate the resonance of the bloodline.

Finally, Mr. Eisen raised his head again and took a deep breath. His eyes were already flushed, but there was a clear smile on the corner of his mouth:

"I really didn't expect that you would be my nephew. Really, until the day before yesterday at the mouth of the well on the island, when I deduced the finishing ceremony, I felt a sense of anxiety and panic.

Everything is exactly the same as when I saw my sister in my dream.

There seems to be a person in my mind telling me loudly over and over again, I must succeed this time, I must save your life, and I must never let you have an accident!

At that time, I didn't think about these things.

The moment I deduced the closing ceremony, I suddenly understood. "

Mr. Eisen pointed to himself, then to Karen:

"There is a bond of family between us."

"Thank you, uncle."

"No, no, don't say that, don't say that." Mr. Eisen wiped his eyes vigorously with the cuff of his robe, "I should thank you, I thank the great God of Order for allowing me to see my sister's child .”

Mr. Eisen leaned forward, as if he wanted to open his arms to embrace Karen, but his arms could not be stretched out. In the final analysis, his "established knowledge" of Karen still contained a feeling that could not be erased in a short time. The "awe".

In the end, Mr. Eisen's imagined hug was made into a hand extended to Karen.

Karen reached out and shook hands with his uncle.

Mr. Eisen sighed, and Karen gently hooked Mr. Eisen's shoulder with his other hand. Mr. Eisen was stunned for a moment, and then hooked Karen's shoulder with his other hand.

The nephew and uncle managed their first intimate contact after meeting each other in this way.

After a while, the two separated.

"You already knew I was your uncle?"

"yes."

"You already knew that Richard was your cousin?"

"yes."

"You already knew that Richard's grandma is your grandma?"

"yes."

"Richard's grandma, did you recognize you too?"

"I think... yes."

Mr. Eisen nodded. His son was so stupid that he probably didn't recognize that Karen was really his brother;

But my mother has shown a special enthusiasm for Karen since she first met Karen. Looking back now, it can only be that my mother has recognized her grandson long ago.

After all, he, his son, knew his mother's temper. She was only enthusiastic about the children at home, but outsiders...in fact, she was very indifferent. She was not a kind and caring old man.

"Why didn't you disclose your identity?" Mr. Eisen asked.

"Because my identity cannot be disclosed." Karen looked at Mr. Eisen and replied seriously, "Once my identity is exposed in the church, I will face terrible consequences that I don't want to encounter."

"But we are your relatives, how can you think that we will..."

"Family love or devotion to God, which one is more important?"

Mr. Eisen was silent. After a while, he said, "You are worried about your grandpa."

Obviously, although Mr. Eisen seldom spoke these years, he knew his family members very well.

"I just think it's not very important whether it's public or not. Even if it's not public, I can often visit your home and visit you."

"No, it's different, it's completely different for me." Mr. Eisen said, "I'm very happy that my sister has a child left in this world."

"Uncle, I'm doing fine."

"I know, I know, my sister has a very good child, about your family... Forget it, I won't ask, I can only say, I will keep this secret for you and will not tell anyone.

Karen,

my nephew,

I am willing to use my life to protect you. "

Karen nodded.

"It's good, it's good, no wonder I can't help but compare you and Richard, I'm still wondering why I compare the 'temple elder' with my lazy son, I once thought I was right My son is so demanding.

Only now did I realize that I was right, he just didn't live up to expectations! "

"I think Richard has made great progress under the spur of your new education."

"I think so too. However, I feel much more comfortable. I'm not someone else's child. No matter how good I am, I'm still my own child."

Then the two men sat facing each other for a brief moment of silence.

Karen didn't know what to talk about. At this moment, he was a little moved, but he didn't want to be too emotional.

If he is facing "patient clients", he can play it confidently, but facing his "blood relatives", he feels restrained.

"I want to know, can you tell me a little bit about my sister's life before she left? Of course, without involving your secrets."

Karen couldn't help recalling that when Raniedar was about to snatch his body, he took the initiative to protect his "father" and "mother", and he was lying with them on the grass in his dream at that time.

"The relationship between my mother and my father is very good. Although they are gone now, she and my father spent a very good time together. They love each other very much."

"That's good, that's good..."

Eisen nodded non-stop, his eye sockets had just recovered a little, and they started to flush again, but he immediately took a deep breath and held back his tears,

"I knew at the time that my sister was fine, but she didn't contact her family before she left. There should be some special reason why she couldn't contact her family."

"I think it should be."

"Actually, don't be too tired sometimes."

"What?"

"I said, Karen, sometimes, don't force yourself to be too tired. If you want, it's good to stop and rest."

"Uncle, you misunderstood me. My path is chosen by myself. Since I have chosen this path, I will definitely continue to walk on it firmly."

"Well, your personality is very similar to your mother." Mr. Eisen propped his hands back and looked at the starry sky above his head, "Thank you for helping Richard all the time."

"Family, don't say 'thank you'."

"Yes, it is."

"Uncle, after we get back, let's find some time to have a good chat. Now, you rest first? You seriously overdrawn yourself in order to save me. I'm worried that you will suffer from physical problems after experiencing violent emotional fluctuations."

"Okay, I will take care of my body, because now I have another person who needs my protection... Oh, although there is not much I can do to help you."

"Without you, I can't sit here and chat with you now, you rest."

Karen stood up, and when he was about to untie the barrier and go down, Mr. Eisen stopped him.

"Wait a minute, Karen."

"Huh? Uncle, do you have anything else to do?"

"You also have the blood of the Guman family, so you can also practice the key of the Rubik's Cube. This is a very helpful technique for using formations. With it, you can greatly improve your learning and use of formations." Improve efficiency."

"Uncle, no need."

"No, yes! My sister taught me the key to the Rubik's Cube. Of course I should teach it to her children now."

"Uncle, there is really no need."

"Come on, I'll give you a rubbing of this technique first, and then I'll explain to you how to get started..."

"You need to rest now."

"Even if I am so tired that I vomit blood, I will teach you it!"

Karen spread out his left hand, and a delicate Rubik's Cube floated in Karen's palm.

Mr. Eisen's eyes widened, and then suddenly said: "Oh, yes, my sister will definitely teach you."

"When I came to York City, it hadn't been purified yet."

"Who taught you that? It can't be Richard, can it?"

"It's Richard."

"Richard?"

Mr. Eisen watched the exquisite and obviously high-level Rubik's Cube key appear in Karen's palm, and thought of the rough Rubik's Cube that his son was running, and couldn't help asking:

"He is also worthy to teach you?"

"I asked Richard for it. He thought I wanted to use it to observe and study the cut version, so he directly rubbed it on the scroll and gave it to me. Richard is very kind to me. If he has anything good, as long as I want it, He will give it."

"You are a genius, Karen." Mr. Eisen smiled. "Even my sister back then is not as good as you. I really hope that one day, you can tell me that you can tell me about your family affairs now." said."

"There will be such a day, Uncle, it won't be too far away."

"I look forward to it."

"Good night, uncle."

"Good night, Karen."

Karen broke the barrier and walked off the platform. Behind him, Mr. Eisen lay down again, but he turned his back to Karen, closed his eyes, and showed a smile on his face.

Through the previous conversation, Karen could clearly perceive that Uncle Eisen's illness should be almost healed, because the main knot in his heart has been solved.

So, if Richard is beaten again in the future, it will really be...

But if Richard suddenly stopped being beaten, and Mr. Eisen returned to normal all of a sudden, would it arouse suspicion?

Then, choose the most conservative and safe way.

When Karen walked towards his bed, he passed Philomena, and Philomena opened her eyes again.

"No rest?" Karen asked.

Philomena shook her head and said, "I want to chat with you, Captain."

"OK."

Karen sat down.

Although there are "houses" here, each person's house only has a roof and curtains on both sides to keep out the sun and wind and rain. Basically, the curtains are raised at night, which does not affect communication and conversation.

Philomena raised her hand and arranged a simple barrier.

Karen asked puzzled, "What is this for?"

Philomena replied: "I thought you would praise me this time for knowing how to make arrangements in advance without ordering."

"Well, you've improved a lot."

"You're talking ironically, and you're right. My relationship with you is not to the level where we need to tell those little-known secrets."

"Well, what a beautiful and lovely little girl, it's a pity that she has a mouth."

"I want to ask you one thing."

"call."

"Captain, I want to ask you one thing."

"Honorifics."

"Captain, I want to ask you one thing."

"It's good to just talk about it directly, you are my team member after all."

"My grandma was waiting for me to mature and then take my body."

"Well, I know that."

"I want to beg you, help me deal with my grandma."

"The same thing, I remember that night on the frigate of the Luna Cult, we seem to have talked about this topic?"

"This time is different, I sincerely hope you can help me."

"Why?"

"Because through this incident, I found that you can do it. Of course, you can make conditions for me, any conditions are fine, and I will satisfy you."

Karen shook her head.

Philomena looked a little lost: "You refuse?"

"There is no need to talk about conditions. When you were my team member, as the captain, I had the responsibility to protect your safety. Even if your grandma wants to attack you, I will definitely stand by your side and help you.

When did your grandma get her hands on it, though? "

"I don't know, I'm also waiting for her to do something to me, we...we both desire each other very much."

"Well, then you can notify me in advance, and I will come to help you.

After all, what I want is a younger team. I don't want any old man to come over and raise the average age of our entire team, which will make our team look less promising. "

"Yes, Captain."

Karen was about to get up and go back to his bunk, but he stopped moving again and asked, "When the result is settled between you and your grandma, does it mean that the curse of that person on your Fisher family is over? gone?"

Philomena replied: "Do you think I will marry and have children?"

"Who knows what will happen in the future?"

"I can't imagine the scene where I get married and have children, and I can't even imagine the scene where I would call a man my husband. The most unimaginable thing is which man would accept a wife like me."

"When a bucket is full of water, it often means it might be leaking."

"I can't understand the meaning of your words, Captain."

"The proverb I just made up is a bit illogical, but it probably means that people who say this kind of thing can easily be drawn in the face by the wind."

"I just feel like if I don't have kids, the curse is over because the curse is that the Fishers will kill each other until there's only one person left."

"You can find a way to break this curse."

"Captain, I don't think it's necessary."

"Well, do you hate the man who cast the curse?"

Philomena shook her head: "I don't hate it."

"Why?"

"He made me understand what a wonderful thing it would be if I was the only one left in this family. I am grateful to him. In addition, I can feel that my grandma doesn't hate him. She even...has a longing for with him."

"Don't be so negative, maybe, you can chat with Richard more, or when you feel depressed, you can beat him up to vent your anger, he takes the beating."

"I hope he is not dead. This is the first time I have cared about the life and death of another person. However, I don't really like talking to him, especially after I visited his home last time."

"Um?"

"I can't help but imagine, if there is no curse, would I be able to live the same life as Richard, with a church family background, a carefree childhood, and a harmonious family atmosphere.

Instead of going out of the house, everyone who sees a smile will add a sentence behind their back: Look, this is a member of that terrible lunatic family. "

"It will pass, and everything will pass. It is because of suffering that we will know how to cherish life and beauty."

"Thank you, Captain, actually..."

"Actually what?"

"Actually, I once wondered what kind of man it is that my grandma can't forget him even now, how outstanding that man was when he was young.

Until I got in touch with you, captain, I gradually understood. "

"I?"

Philomena turned her head to look at the bunks of Ashley and Blanche. These two girls never concealed their affection for the captain, but they knew that nothing would happen between them and the captain, so they could only enjoy this affection.

She said:

"I thought, if I was a normal Fisher girl, I'd like you, Captain, too."

"Unfortunately, I have a fiancee."

Philomena froze,

muttered:

"So grandma, is love born of hatred?"
