Personality V: I will save everything

Should I say it or not?

Ever since Lucas got into trouble last time, Joseph seemed to have changed completely. His mental state became extremely sensitive and fragile, even a little neurotic.

Take the simplest thing, for example, when he was about to take a cup from the cupboard, the movement was so exaggerated that it was jaw-dropping.

Others who were watching him felt that he was not taking an ordinary cup, but rather was carefully dismantling a powerful bomb!

He first took a deep breath, as if to muster up his courage, and then slowly reached out to grasp the handle of the cupboard.

However, just to open this cabinet door, he had to remain highly alert several times.

Every slightest sound and every fluctuation of air flow would instantly make his nerves tense, for fear that if he was not careful, he would hear that terrible explosion again.

Sure enough, just when he finally opened the cabinet door a crack, a slight noise suddenly came from somewhere.

In an instant, Joseph's face turned as pale as paper and cold sweat dripped down his forehead.

He jumped back a step, his eyes wide open in horror, as if the cupboard in front of him had become a time bomb about to explode.

After a long while, after making sure there was no danger, he dared to approach the cupboard again, but his body still couldn't stop shaking.

"Brother, are you okay?" Claude, who had been standing by and observing silently, finally couldn't help but ask.

To be honest, even he couldn't bear to watch it anymore.

My brother's current state is really abnormal.

Is it really necessary to see Dr. Lydia for a thorough checkup?

Maybe we can find out what the problem is, so we can prescribe the right medicine as soon as possible and restore my brother to his normal state.

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

In fact, the most effective way is to order that guy to pack up and leave immediately!

Joseph repeatedly emphasized this point to Claude.

You know, Joseph has reached the limit of his tolerance for Lucas.

Not only is this guy rude and unrestrained in his behavior and does not care about details, but he also never pays attention to his personal appearance. He can be said to be extremely sloppy.

What is even more unacceptable is that he seems to have a unique "magic power" that can quickly spread this chaotic and disorganized state to the entire manor.

Looking back at the beginning, it was Joseph who personally brought Lucas into this manor.

When Joseph saw Lucas's appearance at that time, he thought to himself: This guy will at most make a mess of his own room. At worst, I can just let him clean it up himself afterwards, and there shouldn't be any big mess.

However, the reality was far beyond Joseph's expectations. Who could have imagined that Lucas was so powerful that he could single-handedly turn the entire manor into a dark and turbulent place, as if it had experienced a terrible disaster.

Anyway, in a nutshell, Joseph couldn't stand Lucas for even a second. Either Lucas left, or... he threw Lucas out.

What's wrong? You don't want Joseph to move out of the manor in the future, do you? How is that possible? He is bound to the manor forever in this life. Don't forget that he is the butler of the manor. He can't leave here.

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

Okay, let’s find out where Lucas is now.

Haha, as expected, he is outside the manor!

There is no doubt about it!

Indeed, Lucas is outside at this moment.

However, it should be noted that although Joseph shouted that he wanted to expel Lucas from the manor, in fact he was just talking nonsense and venting his dissatisfaction.

Because he knew very well that he could not really throw this person who might pose a threat to society onto the street and let him do whatever he wanted.

If this is really done, it would be too unfair and irresponsible to those innocent passers-by!

As for Alva, he just wanted to take Lucas to the street for a stroll and relax.

After all, it’s not a good idea to keep Lucas stuck in the manor all the time!

And more importantly, Alva has even begun to deeply doubt whether Lucas has no idea what year it is!

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

What they never expected was that when they walked out from somewhere, they would run into Kurt by chance.

"Kurt, why are you here alone?" one of them asked in surprise.

Although he had been here only a few times, Alva still had a general idea of ​​where Kreacher's orphanage was located.

If his memory was correct, the direction that Kurt had just walked from seemed to be the road leading to Kreacher's Orphanage.

Since Kurt came out from there at this moment, why didn't Kreacher appear with him?

This question instantly came to Alva's mind.

When he heard the question, Kurt first rolled his eyes deeply, as if he felt extremely helpless and annoyed about something.

Then, he slowly continued to answer: "Oh, don't mention it... It's really a headache to talk about it! I seriously doubt that if Kreacher was a woman, their children would be running around at this moment!"

At the end, Kurt waved his hands exaggeratedly to emphasize the dissatisfaction in his words.

Well, Kurt doesn't need to explain, Alva knows why Kreacher didn't come out. (′-i_-｀)

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

"Since you guys are free, why don't you go to the venue of my book signing event? My publishing editor wants to hold a book signing event for me and asked me to find a time to check out the venue. Do you want to come with me? We can just take a walk."

It’s a good idea. Instead of wandering aimlessly on the street, it’s better to find a destination to go to.

Although the book signing event hasn't started yet, there are still quite a few people here, after all, everyone needs to set up the venue.

As for where the book signing will take place? It is said that it will be held in a bookstore under the name of the publishing house. After all, a publishing house like this will definitely have several bookstores that specialize in selling books from their publishing house.

"Oh, my goodness! Mr. Frank, I never thought I'd see you in person!"

The manager of this bookstore is a white-haired old man. At this moment, he was excitedly holding Kurt Frank's surgery and talking about his admiration for Mr. Frank.

He has read every book Mr. Kurt Frank has written.

For example, Mr. Frank’s pioneering work, "Girl on the Prairie".

It is a complete narrative, an autobiography. It can be said that it fully records the entire rise of Mr. Norton Campbell, the reasons why he obtained the gold mines and connections in the American continent, and all the records. It can be said to be the most complete record, or the only record.

There is also a second book... It should be a horror book, right? Although Mr. Frank did not really say it himself, the bookstore manager felt that it should be a book with a horror theme.

The name of the book is————"Angel in the Madhouse".

It is written from the first person's perspective and looks like a pseudo-autobiographical novel, but the protagonist is not Mr. Kurt Frank, who plays the protagonist in the novel. Instead, it is a doctor who is truly an angel and who does not fit in with the evil guys in the asylum from his perspective.

So far, Mr. Kurt Frank’s book can be regarded as a household name, and it is also the book that laid the foundation for his greatness in literature——"Lost in Paradise".

Angels, demons, God, murderers, madmen, scientists, gravediggers, body thieves, the purest love, the strongest friendship, this series of completely opposite contents are best integrated in this book, which can be called a perfect work.

There is also the fourth part, which is currently the best-selling book in his bookstore - "The Silence of the Lambs".

It was said that the fifth book would be written soon. Although he knew that he should not ask such questions, the store manager really wanted to ask Mr. Frank what the name of the fifth book was, even if it was just a hint.

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

But it's obvious that this is impossible. It's not an exaggeration to call it a secret. How can it be said casually? !

However, instead of dealing with the slightly overzealous store manager, Kurt found another little guy he knew.

Kurt walked silently to the little guy until he spoke first, "Uncle Frank, long time no see."

Kurt didn't expect that he would see Orpheus here.

Logically speaking, Kurt should not know Orpheus. After all, when everyone went to stay at the Delos Manor, Kurt had not arrived yet. But various things happened afterwards. Although they were not familiar enough to chat as soon as they met, it was true that he looked a little familiar.

But the reason why Orpheus came here was very simple. He really liked Uncle Kurt Frank's books. He had liked them since the first one. When he saw that the signature on the book was someone he knew, Orpheus was also surprised. But after all, he had only met him a few times, so he couldn't be considered familiar with him, but he could go to his house to read his writing.

If the other party is an acquaintance, you can definitely visit him/her without saying anything.

If it's a stranger, that's okay, you can write a letter to the other party and request to visit him/her.

But what I fear most is this kind of neither-strange-nor-familiar relationship. Whether to go or not, to write letters or not, it is really hard to find the boundary between them.

And more importantly......

"Orpheus Rhodes!!!!" A louder roar came before the other side.

Ever since what happened that night, old man Balke has become a little neurotic, or perhaps the word neurotic is not enough to describe his current state.

He wished he had an eight-fold mirror on his eyes and had to check the Delos Manor from top to bottom and inside and outside carefully, and he would not stop until he made sure that there was no safety or comfort at all.

(Do this every day-_-||)

As a result, Orpheus is afraid to even go out now, because if he goes out, old man Balke will definitely follow him.

But the question is, how old is Orpheus now? He is only three years away from adulthood, right? He will be an adult soon! ! ! !

The elders in the family have to go out with him, so he is not afraid of being laughed at if he tells others about this.

So just now, while old man Balke was not paying attention, Orpheus sneaked away, but it was obvious that not long after, old man Balke came looking for him.

"Do you know that there are people everywhere on this street? It's very dangerous. What if someone is holding a weapon?!!!!"

Old man Balke kept talking, using a bunch of words that only a persecuted person would say.

"And what if I don't find you?! What if you get lost?! Have you ever thought about that?!"

Old man Balke really thought Orpheus was a person with poor sense of direction. The distance from Delos Manor to here was so short, but Orpheus could find it with his eyes closed.

"Are you listening to me? You little bastard! Do you believe that I will let you be put in solitary confinement when we get back?"

Beautiful. Old man Balke really thinks Aoife is only three years old, right?

-_-||

Orpheus really couldn't stand it anymore, he looked deeply at Uncle Kurt Frank, hoping that he could save him from the dire situation, but Kurt only gave him a helpless look╮(╯-╰"；)╭.
