Chapter 347 – Erase

The morning sun tried its best but still couldn't penetrate through the thick layer of fog, ultimately being partially absorbed and partially reflected.

In some places, due to the climate, the four seasons are not distinct. Here in the Reincarnation Valley, there is no distinction between dawn, noon, and dusk. As long as it is daytime, it is always hazy.

Fortunately, when approaching the pier in the Reincarnation Valley, a special barrier should appear. Although the sky is still hazy, the visibility from below is still acceptable.

There were many people on the pier, and the newly appointed diplomatic god envoy of the Order God Religion, Teng Ge, personally came to welcome them. The Reincarnation God Religion also sent a welcoming team led by three elders.

In addition, there were many ordinary believers from the Reincarnation Valley.

Although they definitely harbored resentment and rejection towards the Order God Religion, which had just defeated them in the war, it did not prevent them from being curious about the Order God Religion.

Karun and Muri led their respective teams down, and everyone stood in two rows on the pier.

Diplomatic god envoy Teng Ge delivered a brief welcome speech. For him, leading his team to be stationed in the territory of other god religions and seeing large-scale personnel from his own religion coming over each time was like seeing family.

Although the situation in the Reincarnation Valley was complex and unpredictable, he was the diplomatic god envoy of the victorious side after all, so everything else was just trivial matters.

This could be seen from his good complexion.

A representative elder from the Reincarnation God Religion delivered a speech, describing the treaty written in the "Terms of Defeat" as a gesture of promoting mutual understanding, trust, deepening tacit understanding, and friendship in the reincarnation order.

Karun felt that this elder would be suitable for starting a funeral home because he had a strong ability to handle funeral matters.

Next, many reporters came over for free interviews and all gathered in front of Karun without prior arrangement.

Both team captains stood in the front row of the teams, with reporters unanimously choosing to gather in front of Karun and Muri.

Muri looked at the emptiness in front of him and then at the crowd around Karun, couldn't help but sigh.

He wanted to turn around and seek comfort from his teammates, and Parsio timely offered comfort from his teammates, "Captain, we understand. The gap lies with the captain."

The "Order Weekly" had reporters in all foreign locations. After all, the two major god religions had just recently had a war, so the Order side was still very interested in news from the Reincarnation side.

Although there were many god religions in the world, there were also many orthodox god religions. However, people were more concerned about the current living conditions of their defeated subordinates.

There were also reporters or clerks in the foreign office who wrote articles, and some news needed to be submitted to the internal publication.

In addition, there were reporters from the Reincarnation side and reporters from various other churches. Generally, orthodox churches and major churches had their own newspapers that only reported on internal matters, while smaller churches liked to publish newspapers with strong integration, reporting on the entire church circle.

Although Karun had previously made fun of the funeral organizing ability of the Reincarnation elder, he still showed what a true funeral home professional was during the interview.

"First of all, I am very grateful for being invited to this opportunity. I believe that this trial can strengthen the interaction and understanding between the young people of the Order God Religion and the Reincarnation God Religion, laying a good foundation for the future development of the relationship between the two religions."

"Yes, there were indeed some misunderstandings and frictions between the two religions before, all caused by some ambitious individuals within the Reincarnation God Religion. Now I know that the Reincarnation God Religion has set things right, and the Simosen family will lead the Reincarnation God Religion to join hands with the Order God Religion in creating a harmonious new situation for the god religions."

"Of course, I know that there may be dangers within the Gate of Reincarnation, but I also know that danger and opportunity coexist. I believe that me and my teammates are prepared."

The Order God is with us!"

Teng Ge quietly asked Groven, who was standing beside him, "Did you write his speech?"

Groven shook his head and said, "No."

"Then, was it prepared in advance?"

"I think it's more like improvisation."

"It's a pity that such a young talent should be stationed in the foreign office."

"You're thinking too much, sir."

"I know, can't I even think about it?"

"You can, you can."

The whole process was over, and Karun and Muri's teams were arranged to stay at the reception hotel in the Reincarnation Valley.

The hotel rooms were on the rock wall, and the internal passages were inside the mountain, which was very distinctive.

The official time to enter the Gate of Reincarnation would be tomorrow afternoon, so Karun and the others still had a whole day to rest.

They still shared a standard room, and after entering the room, Wintura began to wipe the large bathtub on the balcony for Karun.

Just as she finished wiping and was about to fill it with water, lunch was delivered. It was personally delivered by someone from Groven's team to ensure the safety of the food as much as possible.

Although the Reincarnation God Religion wouldn't do anything in this regard... but the Reincarnation Valley was not just a Reincarnation God Religion, and other families' foreign offices wouldn't mind causing some trouble at this time.

The lunch was beautifully presented, but the taste... was just average.

Karun felt that it was not as good as the fried chicken leg he had on the ship, coated with egg and bread crumbs. The satisfaction of taking a bite was much better than these fancy but tasteless Reincarnation Valley specialty foods."Go and ask them if there are any simple meals later, eating these things is too tiring," Karun said.

Wentula nodded, "Yes, there is still very little left."

While cleaning up the plates, Wentula opened the small refrigerator in the room and asked, "Captain, would you like to try the local drinks?"

Karun looked over and saw that the drinks in the small refrigerator were stored in transparent glass bottles, like freshly squeezed juice, but the colors were beautiful - pink and charming, azure and pure, purple and enchanting...

"Smell it, is it alcohol?"

Wentula immediately picked up the bottle and smelled it, answering, "It seems to have an alcoholic smell, Captain, would you like to try a glass?"

"Sure, I'll have ice water."

"Yes, Captain."

Because the hotel was on a high point and the rooms were "embedded" in the cliffs, there was no need to worry about privacy being exposed on the balcony.

Karun took off his clothes and sat in the bathtub.

Wentula immediately thoughtfully brought ice water and some snacks he had brought from the Dingge District training hotel.

He had always been considerate of Karun, and after being kicked several times by Karun on the ship, he became even more considerate.

Karun sat in the bathtub, drinking ice water and looking at the oppressive gray mist in front of him.

"Is the suicide rate high in this place?"

Karun muttered to himself, and soon came out and changed into pajamas.

The layout of the environment was good, but the atmosphere was too oppressive. Taking a bath should have been for relaxation, but here it felt like brewing suicidal emotions.

Is it politically correct?

A waiter came to knock on the door, and Wentula opened it. After a while, Wentula came to Karun and reported, "Captain, there is someone named Peide who wants to see you."

"Peide?"

He was the young man from the Simosen family that Karun and Ophelia met while walking on the Dark Moon Island. Oh no, he was a pervert.

He was knocked down by Karun, but because his aunt, who was also the gatekeeper, appeared, he couldn't kill him in the end.

What did he come to see him for?

"I don't want to see him."

"Yes, Captain."

Wentula went to deliver the message.

Karun took out a delicate pendant from his pocket. This pendant was the compensation given by the gatekeeper Romil last time, and she said that he could find her with it after he arrived at the Reincarnation Valley.

However, Karun had no interest in finding her.

He just wanted to complete the trial inside the Gate of Reincarnation peacefully and then leave the Reincarnation Valley and return to the wet and cold Vien.

It would be great if everything could proceed smoothly.

In the afternoon, Karun started to take a nap again, and Wentula followed suit and took a nap.

They were awakened by a notification at 4:30 in the afternoon. Groven was going to have a meeting.

Everyone gathered in Groven's room. He didn't say anything nutritious, but it felt more like a teacher leading the students to feed them some chicken soup before the exam.

However, Groven had one advantage - he didn't talk for a long time. The meeting ended after fifteen minutes, and he also took out a box filled with Reincarnation Coupons.

"The public security around here is still good. You can go out and relax at night. The official exchange rate is not cost-effective, and the black market exchange rate is better. You can exchange some Reincarnation Coupons from me to go out and spend."

Everyone was a little confused. They didn't expect the captain to suddenly show such a considerate side.

Groven added, "After all, some people may not be able to come out once they go in. It's better to take a look around here first and not leave any regrets."

Upon hearing this, everyone felt that the situation was normal and felt comfortable.

Everyone exchanged some Reincarnation Coupons, including Wentula who also exchanged some.

When they left Groven's room and were ready to go shopping, Karun handed the Reincarnation Coupons he had exchanged to Wentula. He still wanted to go upstairs and sleep.

But the Murri team came over proactively and said they wanted to go out and have fun. Karun answered, "Maybe they don't want to ruin the melancholic atmosphere of the last walk of two dying people."

"No need to be so pessimistic. Theoretically, as long as we toss a coin twice and get heads both times, we can survive."

"That's right."

Karun nodded and took out the coin that Pilo gave him and tossed it. It landed on tails.

Karun picked up the coin and tossed it again. It landed on tails.

He picked up the coin again, tails.

Muri: "..."

Karun smiled, "Hehe, I don't even need to toss it a second time."

"You're easily going to drive us crazy."

"Let's keep some distance between us. I'll toss my own coin."

Karun stepped away and tossed the coin, heads.

"I'll toss it again."

The coin fell to the ground, still heads.

Karun smiled, "Okay, I feel much better now. How about you?"

"I'm even more broken."

At this moment, Karun saw a man walking towards them from the crowd, it was Peide.

Behind Peide, there were several bodyguards.

Karun quickly picked up the coin and wiped it with the sleeve of his robe.

"Sure enough, I see you here again, Karun," Peide smiled.

"Your friend?" Muri asked.

"Yes, a life and death friend."

"Are you that close?"

"I almost killed him before, but his elders arrived in time and saved him."

"Oh, I see."

"Karun, this is the Reincarnation Valley. Can't you give me a little face? Let's both be dignified?"Karun shook his head and said, "Just because this is the Reincarnation Valley, I have nothing to fear. If anything happens to me, you will definitely be held responsible and handed over to the Order Divine Church for punishment."

Peide pursed his lips and suggested, "Shall we find a place to sit?"

"Not interested," Karun flatly refused. "I don't think there's anything worth discussing between us."

"That's not necessarily true."

"Sigh, forget it. I know you want to kill me, and I've always regretted not being able to kill you. Why bother pretending? It's exhausting."

"Don't you want to know about the peculiarities within the Gate of Reincarnation? Even if your Order Divine Church is good at gathering information, it can't compare to my Reincarnation Divine Church."

"I think it's more interesting to enter the Gate of Reincarnation with a sense of mystery. Knowing everything would make it less fun."

"Do you despise me that much? It was me who was almost killed by you, it was my beloved who was completely obliterated by my aunt because of you, it's me who hates you, not you who..."

"It's just disdain. You know, before coming to the Reincarnation Valley, a mentor specifically mentioned my name, implying that orphans like me should be your favorite targets for recruitment.

I understood what the mentor meant, but I couldn't accept the way he spoke. I contradicted him, and he apologized to me.

So, let's not meet privately anymore, lest it proves the mentor right, and I'll have to apologize to him again when I return."

With that, Karun turned around and left directly, with Muri following behind him.

Peide didn't chase after him, but stood there with his hands in his pockets, watching Karun leave.

"Shall we buy something?" Muri asked, "We can send it back home."

"As a memento?"

"Uh...

"Sorry, I think the environment and atmosphere of this island can easily make people depressed."

"I feel the same way."

"Do you still buy local specialties for your family when you go out?" Karun asked.

"Yes, I won't miss any relatives at home."

"Oh, no wonder you're not well-received at home."

"Does it have anything to do with this?"

"Not really."

"Are you really not buying anything?"

"Why, won't your team members buy for their captain?"

"Damn it!"

"Haha."

At this time, there was a shop in front of them. Many oil paintings of women in various styles were hung on the glass wall of the shop.

The oil paintings easily gave people a sense of blurred beauty. Karun and Muri both stopped in front of the paintings and began to appreciate them.

"It's an art shop." Muri pointed at the sign, "It seems to specialize in selling female oil paintings?"

Karun pointed to a shop across the street and said, "That one specializes in selling male oil paintings."

"Is the artistic atmosphere in the Reincarnation Valley so strong?" Muri wondered.

"It's not about the artistic atmosphere, I think this should be a local specialty pastry shop."

"A pastry shop, selling pastries?"

"If I have a chance, I'll introduce you to a friend named Richard."

"What's special about him, does he like to go to pastry shops?"

"Yes, he's the kind who would risk breaking his legs just to eat pastries."

"Wait, you mean, this pastry shop is like a brothel?" Muri finally understood.

Apparently, due to the great distance between the Dingge region and the Vienne region, not only was there a time difference, but also a huge cultural gap.

At this moment, two male customers came out from inside. Their eyes were a bit listless, their legs a bit weak, but the expressions on their faces were very satisfied, fully illustrating what it means to be "desiring immortality and desiring death".

Moreover, there was a strong soul aura lingering on them.

Muri was shocked and said, "No wonder they hang oil paintings instead of photos. The service providers in this brothel are ghosts?"

"Probably, it's quite unique. Do you want to go in and experience it?"

"No, if I die in the Gate of Reincarnation, I don't want the last image that comes to mind before I die to be a scene of me in a brothel."

"Okay."

"What about you, do you want to go in?"

Karun shook his head.

After walking around for a while, the two found a high-end restaurant for dinner. Well, Karun didn't bring any coupons, so Muri paid the bill.

After dinner, the two returned to the hotel.

Before Muri went to the hotel, there were local specialties for sale. He needed to sign one by one. These items would be delivered to his relatives in the Dingge region through the method of array transmission.

Karun waited for him for a long time, watching him busily writing one name and one greeting card. Karun suddenly felt very fortunate.

What he had always had was what others longed for but could not obtain.

"Sorry to keep you waiting." Muri said.

"It's okay, let's go, back to the room."
