13 Mink Street

Push open the door and walk in.

Then, both Marlene and Steve were stunned.

What the two of them stepped on was an island in the center of the lake with lush green grass and flowers. There were birds flying in the sky and fish jumping in the lake.

The desk and office chair are placed on the grass in front, and there are a few butterflies on the table.

The whipman was sitting on a big rock by the island, with a cigar in his right hand and a fishing rod in his left. The breeze blew, making his already slightly loose robes sway slightly.

Marlene and Steven looked at each other, and they both saw a hint of horror in each other's eyes.

After a short pause, the two started to walk behind the whipman one after the other.

silence,

silence,

silence……

The wind was still blowing, very refreshing, but Marlene and Steven looked like students who were punished to stand. One looked down at the grass under their feet, and the other looked at the light rising from the lake in front of them. Seconds are full of torment.

Finally, the silence was broken.

"Oh, I haven't been so relaxed for a long time." Foden said with a smile, "I still remember when I was young. In fact, life was quite relaxed, without so many burdens, without so many responsibilities, and most importantly, without So much trouble."

At this time in the past, both Marlene and Steven would take over the words and expand them, so that the whipman could have fun talking, and finally ended with laughter.

But this time, both Marlene and Steven were silent.

Then soon, both of them wondered why the other didn't answer the phone?

The two looked at each other out of the corners of their eyes, complaining slightly, but they had already lost the opportunity to answer the conversation, and if they spoke again, they felt a little guilty.

Foden didn't seem to notice any difference. He silently exhaled a smoke ring, looked down at the cigar in his hand, and continued:

"Sometimes, I also wonder why I have to be so tired. I have already sat in this position, but I still have to be cautious in front of the high priest.

It is no exaggeration to say that the more I live, the more humble I become.

By the way, do you two feel the same way? "

When Marlene and Steven heard this, they all knelt down.

If the first time he didn't answer the call was because he was shocked by the sudden change in the atmosphere of the office and couldn't prepare well, then he didn't answer the call this time because he simply didn't dare.

Because in the whipman's words, there was obviously a feeling of resentment towards the great priest.

As a subordinate, even if the whip-wielder is really complaining about the high priest from the bottom of his heart at this time, if you cooperate, after a while the whip-wielder calms down, he will feel that you are not qualified to say this.

"Steven, have you followed me for a long time?"

"Yes, Master Whip, this subordinate has followed you since you were the District Chief."

"Well, it's been so long." Foden pursed his lips, "Actually, I have followed the high priest longer than you have followed me."

Marlene recovered, and then said: "The friendship and relationship between you and the high priest is destined to become a good story in my Kosmos Cult forever."

Why have there been rumors in the church that High Priest Norton may have the status of "Son of God"?

That's because the high priest's route is different from those of the sons of God. He came up step by step from the grassroots, and walked very smoothly and smoothly, but he didn't rely on the escort of a certain force from the top. In fact, during the promotion process of the high priest, there were many accidents and difficulties encountered, but they were all resolved by him. No matter which system or department he was in, he did an excellent job.

These resumes are all available.

And those sons of God, like Marvalho, obviously did not take this path, they were more like young phoenixes raised in a golden nest, waiting to grow up, and then they were naturally assigned a position.

In addition, during the promotion process of the high priest, every time he goes to a new department or a new place, the current whip holder will quickly follow him, either changing jobs together or not long after the high priest took office, the whip In another way, people are transferred to the same level and sometimes even downgraded.

Therefore, it seems a bit exaggerated to insist that the Whip Leader and the High Priest have always been close partners and comrades-in-arms, but as followers and followers, they are indeed very close.

"It's better when I was in a small place and a small department. I can do things in a straightforward manner. If you can't do things in the open, you can take off your robes and do it secretly.

The high priest was sitting on the steps in front of the house and playing the harmonica, and I, and those others went straight into the manor.

When we finished killing people and came out, the high priest would still complain that we were taking too long, which made him repeat the middle part of the song three times abruptly in order to make a finale when we came out, drying his lips dry. "

Foden put down the fishing rod with his left hand, raised his hair, turned his body slightly, and continued:

"It was so comfortable at that time, what kind of influence, relationship, influence, faction, balance, it seems that they are far away from us, anyway, I naively thought that I would never have to think about these things.

So, I think he went too far. When he first recruited us into the group, he said that we all wanted to be chic when we got together to do things.

Later, I found out that he really doesn’t mean what he says, and the more he goes up, the more he has to worry about. He can’t worry alone, so we have to worry with him.

Originally, he could do all the brainwork by himself.

For the few of us, those who should sharpen their knives should sharpen their knives, those who should drink should drink, and those who like women should go to the women's pile as soon as they are worth it.

It doesn't work now, no matter whether you have this brain or not, you have to move, obviously it is the most comfortable to be controlled by others, after all, we are convinced by the person who manages us, but after that, we have to manage others.

There should be fewer people, but it’s better to lead the area. There are more and more people, and more and more departments. Even after I became the boss of a system for no reason, I realized why there are so many messes all day long. .

What do you think? "

Marlene said, "It is the greatest honor in my life to be able to work for you!"

Steve said, "My greatest pride is to offer you all my loyalty without reservation!"

Foden raised his head, and made a slight sound from his mouth, as if he was laughing, but also seemed to be disdainful. After a long time, he said with emotion:

"I have said the same thing to the high priest several times."

Marlene and Steven held their hands on the ground and exerted a little force. They were very worried that the whipkeeper would say something next: But they are all lies.

However, Foden continued:

"I dedicate my loyalty to him, whether it is in the past or the present. Because I asked him a question very early on, I asked him, if we do this, will it be against the rules of the church?

His answer made me very satisfied, and then I decided to follow him in this life. "

Foden turned sideways, looked at them who were still kneeling on the ground, and asked:

"Can things in the York City area be settled?"

Steven and Marlene said in unison: "Please rest assured!"

"Okay, as soon as possible." Foden waved his hand, "Come to me after the matter is settled."

"Yes, whipman."

"Yes, whipman."

Both Marlene and Steven stood up and walked out of the office. The moment they closed the door, both of them breathed a sigh of relief. Even though the god robes on the two had self-purification function, their backs were already wet. Several times.

Steven asked, "Why do I feel that the whipkeeper already knows?"

Marlene replied: "In the past, it was just a whip holder who wouldn't look here."

"Yes, yes." Steven nodded, "The whipman gave us a chance?"

"It should be, and the matter should be resolved quickly, quickly."

"Well, hurry up."

...

The island in the middle of the lake in the office.

Foden twirled the cigar in his hand, as if he was talking to himself: "Do you think I'm feeling sorry for nothing? Really not, I don't have the time to spare, I just think of some old things from the past and don't talk about them My heart will feel uncomfortable.

Do you know why I want to smoke this cigar like a priest? Do you know why I want to read the book that the high priest has read?

Remember what I said just now, before the high priest played the harmonica?

The last time he played the harmonica was when there was a man among us who was too active and felt that after becoming a deputy of a system, he could break away from the high priest who had just been suppressed at that time, and join other factions to gain further opportunities.

And then, he died.

I clearly remember that at his funeral, the high priest sat by the coffin and played the harmonica for him.

Since then, I have never seen the high priest play the harmonica again.

So, I hope that when the great priest smokes a cigar for the last time, I can help him light it or smoke it with him;

When the high priest is reading the last novel, I can accompany him to chat about stories and characters, or simply read it with him;

Because of that, it's better than lying in a coffin behind, isn't it? "

Foden stood up slowly, and the breeze around him was gradually getting bigger along with his movements.

"A long time ago, I asked the high priest, if we do this, will it violate the rules of the religion.

The high priest answered me: no.

I asked: why?

He replied: Because the rules of the divine religion were originally set by him.

Hehehe, hahaha..."

Foden's laughter echoed on the lake, until it gradually subsided.

In his eyes, the gentleness that had always existed before had disappeared, and turned into indifference. At this moment, he seemed to have returned to his original most familiar appearance.

He spread his hands and looked at his palms:

"They always think that if something happens under my nose, I won't know;

They always think that they have already figured out my temper and habits completely;

Alas, I'm just too lazy to watch, let alone care about it, as long as there are no major incidents, I can do whatever they want.

In my name, it's normal to win over other people and arrange your own people, isn't it, anyone in that position will do the same.

The premise is, don't play tricks on me.

But even if it was a joke, I gave them a chance. They have already knelt down. I have made my words so clear, but they still don't choose to be honest with me.

They really think they can fool me from beginning to end.

Ouch,

They just served me, but I have served the high priest.

Can I compare with the great priest?

Can those who have served the great priest compare with those who have served me?

It's a pity,

After this incident is over,

I can no longer play with ants. "

Foden stretched out his hand, picked up the fishing rod again, and picked it up,

next moment,

The surface of the lake froze, the iceberg rose again, and the island in the middle of the lake was frozen in an instant.

A huge frost dragon soared up from the lake, followed the direction where the whipman's fishing rod fell, and completed a jump similar to a dolphin performance in a circus.

"Hey, afterward, those two pieces of meat will be rewarded as snacks for you."

...

Whip of Order Headquarters, Yorktown Region, Auditorium.

Here is the starting point of the vortex at this time, and the vortex is actually still circulating.

Neo had already overturned the table, and the pots of soup on the table splashed Minister Bernie all over.

Wipe, it can't be wiped off.

But continuing to roll and crawl on the messy floor repeatedly, it seems that he has no interest in it.

Although he did not expect such a change in things, at least he once dared to organize an "observation group" for political speculation early on. Now, in the face of this chaos, he can stand up and choose to undertake it.

Minister Burney stood up, he did not explain, because it cannot be explained.

It was impossible for him to say that this was just a misunderstanding, everything was the self-assessment of the two office directors on the stage, Xia Keshang, and he could still tell the difference between being on the wrong side of politics and dying in politics.

Bernie said: "Everyone, the progress and results of the case investigation will be announced at the investigation conference every day. It is a great honor to invite everyone to supervise the work of our Whip of Order."

After finishing speaking, Bernie raised his hand, but before he had time to give an order, he saw all the members of Karen's team stand up, as if they were going through the process according to the predetermined plan very intimately, each standing on the side of a bound man. Behind the lord bishop, he signaled the lord bishop to follow them and stay in the luxury detention center for the time being.

Bernie blinked, well, he didn't think there was anything strange.

Wo Fulun said: "Go, don't feel guilty, just cooperate."

This sentence, to the bishops, was more like a promise and a guarantee. In addition, they were also looking forward to how the Whip of Order would end after such a big one, so they all restrained their anger and stood up. He was "taken away" cooperatively.

Dismiss the meeting and leave.

Leon, who originally wanted to "detain" a bishop, was hit by Vic and almost fell to the ground.

"Your task now is to accompany the chief bishop well, represent our director to please him, and establish a good relationship. Your task is the most important. Don't be afraid of losing face, even if you pretend to be a grandson in front of him."

Leon: "..."

Vic reached out and patted Leon's shoulder, comforting: "Don't be nervous, I believe in your ability."

Leon could only reply: "Thank you... for your trust."

Karen and Neo walked out through the small door in the front hall, and met Laurey who was catching up. Laurey looked at Karen in disbelief.

Before the meeting, he invited Karen to have dinner on behalf of his grandfather, and he fantasized that he could join Karen's team like Leon.

But he didn't expect that he was indeed invited to dinner, but what he ate was prison food.

He wanted to say something to Karen, or express his attitude, such as... Anger.

But when Karen and Neo looked at him together, he just bit his lips, swallowed, and turned sideways, leaning against the wall.

Karen didn't say anything more, and didn't bother to explain. When he promised to eat, he didn't know that Grandpa Laurey's name would be written on the card.

At this time, Bernie's figure appeared in front of him, and behind Bernie, there was still a row of priests of order standing.

Bernie looked at Karen first, and said, "The first office is responsible for the investigation."

Karen nodded.

Bernie stretched out his hand, pointed at Neo, and said, "Nio, Director of the Second Office, based on your past behavior, the ministry has now decided to launch an internal investigation on you. Please cooperate."

"OK."

Neo seemed calm.

Several priests came to Neo's side, Neo raised his hands together, and a priest next to him said: "Director, you don't need to wear handcuffs during internal investigations."

"That's not okay, otherwise I'll always feel that something is missing, so I'd better take it with me. It's best to take another photo for me. I want to keep it as a souvenir."

"Director, it is very difficult for us to meet your request."

"We're all colleagues in the same department, so can't we be more flexible?"

"I'm sorry, Director, you really made things difficult for us, you should go and accept the investigation with us first."

"Hey, next time I arrest you, don't blame me for not agreeing to your request, ha ha."

Bernie frowned and ordered, "Take it away."

"Yes, Minister."

"Yes, Minister."

Alfred walked behind Karen, and Karen said to him: "Let's carry out the investigation. If there are insufficient manpower, mobilize the Whip of Order team from this region. If it is not enough, then transfer to other nearby regions."

"This requires an official letter, and the time will be delayed."

"They're not that busy. Send it directly in my name. For the teams that don't come, just write it down."

"yes."

Upon hearing this, Bernie said, "The file will be sent to your office later."

"Yes, Minister."

"Do a good job this time. Remember to finish it quickly. It will be good for you and me. By the way, you will be responsible for announcing the case at the press conference starting tomorrow." Bernie went to In front of Karen, he stretched out his hand and gently adjusted Karen's collar, "After all, you are the face of our department."

"I will follow your instructions, Minister, and complete all the work."

"Sometimes you do things only out of your own sense of responsibility and choice. You can't always do what the boss says. This is not the vigor that young people should have."

"minister."

"Um?"

"Do you have any?"

Bernie's eyes were slightly fixed, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Some misunderstandings, I will explain to you later, after all, you are a young man I am very optimistic about."

"You are also my favorite boss, originally."

"Either way, we're in a boat, and if the boat capsizes, we're all going to drown."

"Do you know what is the most rational way to save a drowning person? When he is almost exhausted, otherwise if you approach him, he will instinctively entangle you,

Then,

Drowning with you. "

Karen walked past Bernie while talking, and shouted to Neo who was escorted ahead, "Hey, what are you going to have for dinner? I'll send you to the detention center."

Neo yelled as he walked on:

"Do you cook yourself?"

"good."

"Oil-splashed noodles!"

"good."

Neo raised an arm and reminded, "Don't forget to bring garlic!"

"knew."
