How did I become a god of evil!

Chapter 8 Burns' Epitaph

Burns is dead.

Ted knew it by accident.

A friend of mine took too much medicine and died on a woman. On the day of the funeral, he happened to meet Burns' funeral in the cemetery.

If he hadn't seen that the priest was Yardi's department head, Ted might have missed it. After asking, he found out that Burns died in the middle of the night on March 3, and the cause of death was a car accident.

It was the night when Yadi had an accident.

Ted didn't tell his family about this, for fear that they would worry.

Because the notification received by the family was that "Mr. Hughes was accidentally implicated in an evil event and was contaminated. He is currently receiving treatment at the Cross Hospital of the Covenant Center. Please don't worry if he is in good condition."

The caller was St. Newton University's logistics department.

Contamination with evil things doesn't happen very often, but it's not uncommon, and most of them are not serious.

Ted still ran to the central hospital a few times, but he was told that "Mr. Yadi Hughes is recovering very quickly" when he saw no one, so he felt a little relieved.

Along the way, Yadi's lips were tense, and the shocking news made his mind very confused.

In the middle of the night on March 3, while drinking with Burns in Gravel Park, an accident happened.

Ten days in the hospital himself, Burns died.

The cause of death was a car accident?
Well, let's not worry about this problem for now.

So, who gave the "gift" that is still kept in my mind!

Think of that postcard.

It can be confirmed that the postcard was written by Burns himself, and there is also a small probability that it was written by a master handwriting imitator.

But Jardy remembered very clearly that he had only told Burns about going to the Wild Wine Bar and liking the Mocha Chocolate Cat, not even Ted.

I thought Burns was being coerced, but it turned out to be nothing like that.

Things get weirder when you get a gift from the dead.

The convertible coupe finally drove into the star-filled area, and the scenes on both sides have changed.

There are low and dilapidated apartment buildings, the potholed streets retain the rainwater from last night, rotten vegetables and leaves float in the dirty ditch beside the road, a few barefoot children are chasing and playing, and the faces of small faces All mud stains.

The Starry Sky District is one of the few slums in the Covenant City, and its location is the most remote. Further west, it belongs to the White Rose Empire.

There are a large number of foreigners who do not have passports from the Holy See. They work at the lowest level in the urban area during the day and come back to live here at night.

Yardie came once and met Burns' mother and sister.

Speaking of which, "Yardi" has a great relationship with Burns.

They are all so handsome.

They still look alike, and are about the same height.

They are all devout followers of the Alchemy Church of Truth.

They study hard and get good grades.

At the same time, they did not condense the spirit of faith.

The difference is that one has red hair, one has blond hair, one has a girlfriend and one does not, one grew up in a slum area, and the other grew up in a rich area.

But that didn't stop the two from becoming close friends.

Now there is one more difference.

The car passed through the dilapidated streets and attracted the attention of many pedestrians. Such a flamboyant and luxurious convertible car is rare here.

But Yadi's heart sank uncontrollably, not only because the clue to the source of the picture card was broken.

Burns is the pride of the neighborhood.

One can imagine how difficult it is to get a student from St. Newton's University of Truth Alchemy in the slums.

However, this pride has turned into a cloud in the sky.

Ted parked in front of No. 32 Raspberry Street and got off with Yadi.

Ten minutes later, the two got in the car and left, leaving behind 1 yuan.

Yadi didn't know which way to express his grief was more appropriate, so he had to use the most vulgar and practical way.

A dead person is already dead.

Those who live will live.

When Burns was seven, his father broke his leg in an accident on a construction site, and his mother supported the family with odd jobs and a younger sister who was in middle school.

Normally speaking, it would be difficult for this family to survive without the minimum living allowance issued by the supreme pastoral court.

When the car drove towards the Cemetery of Heaven, Yadi said, "Go back and pay you back."

The 1 Vatican coins were advanced by Ted, and he only had a few hundred with him.

There is a bank card, which is why he left 1 yuan.

I am also an adult, and I have to live independently according to the custom, so there are many places to spend money.

"Stop talking nonsense." Ted looked forward, "That's what I want too." After a pause, "Burnes is also my friend."

Eddie didn't speak again.

1 yuan is a big amount for me, but it is really nothing for Ted, it is not enough for him to spend for one night.

This is not the main reason.

I owe Ted a lot of love since I was a child. In the past, Yadi ignored it because he was devoted to pursuing the truth, but now Yadi remembers it.

Return slowly.

Life... is long.

It must be like this.

"Did you see the problem?" Ted asked.

"You mean Mrs. Holt isn't very sad?"

"So you saw it."

Yadi nodded.

And Burns' father, Old Holt, too.

At that time, I thought that the couple were the kind who were too sad to cry, but now that I think about it, it's not quite right, the sadness is more like faking it.

"Phone!" Ted seemed to think of something suddenly, "His family bought a new phone!"

Yadi also recalled, "There is also wine. The bottle of wine on the table is Brando champagne."

It's not that telephones and Brando champagne are luxuries, but they still don't belong to the consumption that the poor should have.

The two brothers looked at each other and looked away, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Getting off the car in the parking lot of the cemetery, Ted shook his head, "It seems that the Hults collected a lot of funeral money for this funeral. Fuck, it's like feeding the dog."

He doesn't care about the [-] funeral gold if Burns has a good friend with Yardi.

Using the son's bereavement money lavishly is another issue.

Yadi shook his head too.

I agree with Ted's "feed the dog", but there is also a question, 'How much funeral money can the Hults' network receive? '

……

Paradise Cemetery is a public cemetery, and there is only one gatekeeper who doesn't care, as if he didn't see the two of them.

The cemetery is very quiet, and there are rows and rows of simple tombstones that can't be seen at a glance.

Most of those buried here are poor people.

Rich people mostly choose church cemeteries corresponding to their beliefs.

After finding Burns' tomb, Ted patted Yadi on the shoulder, turned and left, leaving his cousin and friends alone.

Yadi looked at the tombstone.

The simple tombstone is not the more solemn black bluestone material, but a very thin gray stone slab, because the latter is cheaper.

There is a line of Hiding written on the stele, which is very simple, [You come brilliantly, go sadly].

I don't know who drafted the epitaph, but it is very appropriate.

That was certainly the case in Burns' short life.

After stopping for a long time, Yadi bowed silently.

When he got up to leave, he saw a fairly familiar girl walking over.

Kaya, Burns' girlfriend.

In terms of appearance, Kaya is somewhat unworthy of Burns, but Yadi knows that this girl really loves Burns.

"You came."

Kaya's voice was low, and a bouquet of white roses was placed in front of the tombstone.

"Sorry." Yadi nodded.

Tears rolled down from Kaya's eyes, and her silent crying was even more worrying.

Yadi didn't want to say anything, and didn't try to comfort him.

For lovers, only time can soothe the hearts of the living.

After a while, Kaya choked up and said, "I don't know if Burns' sponsor can feel the sadness."

"Sponsor?" Yadi was surprised.

"..."

Kaya looked up, also surprised, "You don't know?"

Yadi shook his head.

"The Hults are his adoptive parents." Kaya said, "Burns grew up in an orphanage and was adopted by the Hults when he was three years old. Someone has been sponsoring him to go to school."

"who is it?"

"Burns didn't say that, and I didn't ask." Kaya shook her head, "I thought...you knew it a long time ago."
