13 Mink Street

After Karen returned to his cabin room, he lay down again and started to rest. The token binding ceremony will be held late at night, which is earlier than the original plan to enter the reincarnation valley, so he needs to adjust his state earlier.

Ventura stayed in Karen's room and didn't dare to go up to call his captain. He wasn't afraid of being kicked again, but he was afraid of disturbing the captain's rest.

The entanglement and emotion in her heart made Ventura curl up in a corner and cry silently, wiping her tears with the back of her hand over and over again.

When it was time for dinner, Ventura took a deep breath, got up and went out to get dinner for the captain, and met Ashley Blanche and others in the dining room.

Before they took the initiative to ask why Ventura's eyes were red, Ventura took the initiative to tell the captain that he was going to replace him.

so,

When Karen was woken up for dinner, his not-so-big room was filled with all the team members.

The windows of this cabin room are fixed and cannot be opened, and there is no exhaust fan inside. It is already stuffy, but now so many people are crammed in, and all of them have solemn expressions, directly deepening the air and atmosphere. Got a sense of suffocation.

Karen stretched out his hand and rubbed the space between his brows, and said dissatisfiedly, "Sleeping requires plenty of fresh air, so that the quality of sleep can be good."

"Captain..." Ashley pursed her lips and continued, "We all know."

"If you know it, you know it, and it's nothing special." Karen picked up the plate, hesitated for a moment, then stood up, "Let's go to the deck to eat."

If you are on a sea boat at other times, it is definitely not a pleasant thing to eat on the deck. The swaying hull and the waves that will hit you at any time can add more condiments to your dinner.

However, there is no sea breeze in this sea area, and the boat is running very steadily. After arriving on the deck, Karen can even put the dinner plate directly on the railing of the ship without worrying that it will shake off.

There are not many types of dinner, but the amount is large, three fried chicken legs, a large curry rice, and six fried fish steaks.

Everyone else stood by with their plates.

Bart said, "Captain, replace me."

Karen picked up a chicken leg with his left hand, took a bite, glanced at Bart, and said, "I don't want to talk nonsense anymore."

"No nonsense, Captain, I mean..."

"Okay, don't discuss the things that have already been decided. It's not going to the cinema to watch a romantic movie. A simple plot needs to be told several times. Save some time. Besides, I will be annoying."

Everyone was silent and began to lower their heads to eat.

The first to eat well was Ventura, the boy with the biggest appetite in the whole team, who rarely lost his appetite tonight.

He broke the silence and said, "Captain, do you have a way to deal with it?"

Ashley also echoed and asked: "Captain, do you have a way to protect yourself?"

Karen didn't answer, just biting the chicken leg and looking at the fog ahead.

After receiving the "task" from Groven's room, he has been thinking about a problem, which is very simple but extremely complicated.

Why did you add such an extra thing when you were about to reach the Samsara Valley for no reason?

Bringing tokens to the Gate of Reincarnation to meet Gaitanbert and Fenetus is a long-known task. When Bharat assigned the task, he said that there are a total of three tasks, ranging from low to high.

I held a meeting with Murray, and directly reversed the tasks assigned by Bharat, from high to low.

Therefore, the high-level backhands are waiting here.

Choose one person in each team and let him bind with the token. For Gaitambert and Phinetes, these two teams are like holding flashlights in the dark. If they still exist, then Must be able to "see".

Then, through the array bound on the token, the person bound to the token will "lose" the ability to resist, and become the best carrier for the other party to take over.

Therefore, the higher-ups don't care whether you arrange the severity of the tasks yourself, because they have already arranged them for you.

What Karen was thinking about was not this, but how they dared to make such an arrangement, and it was clearly laid out.

As Karen said to Groven earlier, it's not fair!

In Karen's logic, sacrifice requires logic, just like standing on a levee and trying to block the dam to prevent it from breaking. It is because the residents under the dam must be protected and the meaning of sacrifice can be sacrificed.

But why sacrifice the current person to attract two souls who don't know whether they are alive or even in what state they are living in?

This completely untenable and self-convincing approach of purely using people as silver pots,

They are so sure that the selected young people will agree and will not refuse?

As it turned out, however, they just weren't saying no.

Whether it is Ventura, Ashley or Bart, etc., they have never expressed their anger and doubts about the arrangement of the high-level from the beginning. They came to persuade and care about themselves because this matter is a foregone conclusion. I want to replace this position again.

In their cognition, this matter is as it should be.

It was Murray. He went home yesterday for a reunion dinner. Now it seems that he knew his "arrangement" at that time, so today's mood is a bit low, but it is only low. This night he was in the coconut forest with himself The young man who had been fighting for a long time, when faced with this arrangement, completely bowed his head and accepted it.

It was only now that Karen realized that his previous understanding of God's religion was still one-sided.

It is not a country, although its internal structure is very much like a country.

It is not a society, although it operates much like a society gang.

It is not some like-minded interest camps, clubs, or research clubs.

It's a religion, it's a church.

The first Priest of Order I had in-depth contact with was my grandfather Diss.

The second in-depth contact is Mr. Pavaro.

The third in-depth contact is the captain.

Diss has long been a rebel of the church. If he hadn't condensed three godheads, his rebellious crimes would probably be included in the history of the church.

Mr. Pavaro's "human ethics" side covered his "ecclesiastical attributes". In Karen's eyes, he was more like a local police chief than a believer.

Captain, now more and more like a fun person.

In fact, my vision is still too narrow, and I mistakenly think that what I see is all.

However, this is not the case.

If the captain hadn't blindly followed and hoped to be with Miss Elisa in a way certified by the church, Miss Eliza would not have waited for the real sleeping liquid and lost herself and committed suicide.

If Diess could cut off the church in the family like now, "his" parents would not end up in that way.

Even Mr. Pavaro, listening to the painful sobs of his two daughters in the middle of the night, continued to reject external resources. Is character supporting him or loyalty to God supporting him?

Praising the God of Order is actually an oath again and again. When God needs you, when God's Cult needs you, you will dedicate everything you have for no reason.

Even, there is no need for a plausible reason.

because god,

That's the only reason.

Murray's grandfather knew that his grandson had been selected, so he just called him home for a farewell meal and let him go.

So, my grandfather, Mr. Delong, is also such an old man?

Therefore, the grandmother, Mrs. Tang Li, would not tell him of her existence.

If one day, the religious religion needs Eisen and Richard to do the same thing, Mr. Deron, there is no need to ask the reason, maybe, it is to have a farewell meal, and then send his son or grandson out to serve the great god of order Give everything.

Karen suddenly felt a little scared, and now recalling how relaxed he was at Guman's house, he subconsciously thought that this was also his relative's house... It was a crime against his own life!

Guman's family is not the Inmerais family, grandpa Delong, and not grandpa Diss.

The gap between them is not in strength.

Holding the chicken leg in his hand, Karen began to look around at the young people standing beside him. For a moment, he felt that they were so strange.

I am so lonely again, no, I am out of place.

The Sect of Light preaches light to the world, and the Sect of Order preaches order to the world...

I have only seen light, I have only seen order, I have only seen faith;

But they forgot that there is a god above them.

In terms of faith, how can it have a god?

Karen put the spoon into the curry rice, and now he is tempted to reach for a notebook, and then a pen, and write something on it, but this is on the deck of a sea ship, not himself in the funeral society Study in the backyard.

...

"There has never been a savior, and there has never been a fairy emperor..."

In the study room in the backyard of the Funeral Society, Alfred was sitting behind the young master's desk, humming his favorite hymn while sorting out his "Quotations from the Young Master", also called "Quotations from Karen".

Although he had memorized the contents above backwards, the black notebook was still spread out in front of him, which was an indispensable sense of ritual for Alfred.

Because everything he recorded and organized came from the young master's records in this black notebook.

Suddenly, Alfred was stunned, because he saw the sound of "chacha" coming from the black notebook, as if he was writing, but the problem was that the pen was lying beside him and didn't move at all!

Alfred immediately reached out to turn the pages of the black notebook, and when he turned to the latest page, he happened to see a golden font appearing on that page:

"I made a mistake, a cognitive error."

Alfred's eyes widened, his hands began to tremble with excitement.

The handwriting continued to appear:

"I only saw the advanced nature of some aspects of the church, such as war equipment, teleportation circle, academic building, knight order, tobacco, alcohol...

But no matter how advanced it is in many aspects, it still cannot conceal its essence, which is backward, ignorant, and idealistic.

The correct understanding should be to affirm the church's positive side and criticize its negative side. "

Alfred licked his lips, read these words carefully, and when the last sentence appeared, Alfred opened his mouth wide in surprise:

“[The end of belief—there should be no gods.]”

...

"team leader?"

"team leader?"

Everyone saw the captain standing there, without speaking or moving for a long time.

Karen slowly opened his eyes with a smile on his lips.

Picking up one of the two big chicken legs left on his dinner plate, he handed it to Ventura. Ventura froze for a moment, but opened his mouth and bit it.

Then, Karen picked up another drumstick and passed it to Ashley.

Ashley immediately opened her mouth.

Bypassing Ashley and delivering it to Bart, Bart opened his mouth to catch it.

"Have you brought tissues?" Karen asked Ashley.

"No alas."

"Captain, I have a handkerchief." Blanche immediately handed over a handkerchief.

Karen wiped her hands and handed them back to Blanche: "Sorry, it got dirty."

"It's all right, Captain."

Immediately afterwards, Karen looked around again and said to all the team members around: "Okay, even if the bound token becomes the carrier, it doesn't mean that you will die, it's just that the possibility of retaining yourself has been lowered. But I have How to deal with it, I am different from you, your soul is too weak, but my soul is too strong.

What is dangerous to you is not a big problem to me.

So, pack up your depressed emotions, this is a trivial episode, I will not have any accidents, believe me, I am still waiting to lead you to establish my Order Whip team after I come out of the gate of reincarnation.

I also want to earn a lot of coupons and buy a lot of utensils. "

Karen clapped his hands and said, "Cheer up, I'm not interested in sorting out your mood like touching a chick, so I don't want to say these words a second time, do you hear me clearly!"

"Listen clearly, Captain!"

In the aisle of the cabin, Pacio and Degart were holding cigarettes in their hands, with heavy expressions.

I happened to see the members of Karen's team returning to the cabin from the deck, all looking full of energy.

Pacio turned his head and looked at the door behind him, where his captain Murray and others were sitting there, depressed in a mess.

"Why, didn't we receive a notice?"

Diggart said: "The captain on the opposite side has taken the team's spot."

"This one also needs to be robbed." Pacio laughed, "What an unreasonable captain."

Diggert asked in a low voice, "Should we have a meaningful fight with the captain?"

Pacio shook his head and said, "No."

"That's right, it's meaningless, and the captain can't possibly agree."

Pacio blinked and said, "I'm afraid of what happens."

...

In the middle of the night, in the cabin hall, a group of priests of order were ready, 10 young people stood behind, and two captains sat in front.

Groven came out, and the assistant beside him signaled to him that everything was ready.

Immediately, Groven walked to the front.

Neither Murray nor Karen stood up, and remained seated.

Groven didn't care about this, but said, "You will dedicate your loyalty to the God Cult, the God of Order. If you fail to return safely in the end, the great God of Order will also guide you Integrate into the rules of order.

If you can return safely and complete the separation of those two, that will be the God of Order's reward for your loyalty!

Praise the god of order! "

Everyone present crossed their arms in front of their chests and said in unison: "Praise the God of Order!"

Karen can only stand up with Murray and praise together.

After the ceremony, both Karen and Murrie sat down again.

Three priests walked up to Karen and Muli respectively, and one of them each carried a tray.

The thing on the tray in front of Muli is a yellow lion's fur, which is very strong, like a thorn.

In front of Karen is a snake scale.

Both the lion's fur and the snake's scales were placed on an astrolabe, and when the priest next to him began to sing, the astrolabe kept flowing in with luster.

In the end, a priest came behind Karen and Murry respectively, apologized to them first, and then pressed their shoulders.

The snake scale was picked up and stuck to his shoulder. Karen immediately felt a sharp tingling sensation. The snake scale seemed to have rotted a piece of flesh, and finally penetrated into his body.

Suddenly, an icy chill hit, and Karen shivered subconsciously.

This snake scale is surrounded by a layer of formations, and it just "borrows" in his body, rather than blending in.

When Fnets sensed him, the snake scales in his body would explode, weakening and suppressing his soul first, and then welcoming Fnets to move in, which was equivalent to inviting in a spy first.

After overcoming the initial discomfort, Karen gradually got used to it.

Turning his head again, he looked at Murli who was being pierced by a long lion's hair from his thigh;

Karen suddenly felt a little lucky.

The token binding ceremony was successfully concluded. Grovin picked up two glasses of wine and handed them to Murry and Karen respectively. The waiters also brought drinks to the other team members.

Grovin raised his wine glass and said:

"I hope that you can all complete the mission and return safely, I mean, all of you; because the future of the God Cult needs you!"

...

After the ceremony, Karen did not return to the cabin, but went to the deck alone. As the night got dark, small boats began to appear in the mist, and there were figures of people on the small boats.

They are like ghosts, paddling tirelessly in the fog.

This picture would be terrifying to ordinary people, but in the eyes of a real priest, as long as it is harmless, it is not scary.

"Hey."

Karen turned his head and saw Murry standing behind him.

"Do you feel confused?" Murray asked.

"Oh." Karen smiled, this guy actually wanted to comfort himself.

Murray continued: "Do you feel that our future is like the shadows on these small boats, blurring the way home?"

"Oh." Karen sighed, "You can express your feelings openly, without using me as an excuse."

Murray gritted his teeth, lowered his voice, and said:

"I originally thought that my efforts would make Grandpa value me, I thought that my efforts would eventually induce the great God of Order and let him know that he has such a devout believer.

I am willing to do anything for my grandpa, the great God of Order, I just hope they can remember that he has a grandson named 'Muri' like me, and he has a grandson named 'Muri' like me believer.

I really didn't expect that my final outcome would probably be a container, with my name, soul, and existence erased, and I would become another person's incarnation.

You know, I had a dream last night, and I dreamed that when I saw our teammates, they collectively called me 'Gai Tambert'. "

Karen joked: "Didn't you add the word 'adult'? How disrespectful!"

Murray was annoyed and laughed at Karen's words, and his emotions turned off:

"Come on, you're in a really good mood."

"Hehehe." Karen smiled and spread his arms, "Because, I'm ready to welcome the great Lord Fenetus to descend on my body."

"real?"

"It is my honor to be able to borrow my body from the great Lord Furnets. I hope that Lord Fnets will be satisfied with my body."

"Smoke, is there any more?"

"some."

Karen handed Murray the cigarette case and lighter.

Murray took it, took one in his mouth, and handed one to Karen.

"I quit."

"Come with me?"

"It's not necessary, is it?"

"Really, please, you know, I'm very happy when I know that you have exchanged with your team members."

"Did I offend you?"

"No, because I feel honored to be able to face this situation with you."

"Is it psychologically balanced?"

Karen reached out to take the cigarette and bit it in his mouth. Murray helped Karen light the cigarette with a lighter.

"Well, it's balanced, because I admit that you are better than me. Even if you have to face such a situation, I will be less unwilling. Unfortunately, you have one more procedure than me. If you choose If the target is my team member..."

"Will you grab it like I did?"

"I'll probably comfort him that the great God of Order will be with him."

"hehe."

Two men were holding cigarettes, leaning on the railing. Behind them were the purposeless and numb boats of the dead. In the dark, there seemed to be songs coming from the fog.

Murray said: "The probability that we can keep ourselves alive is only 15%. This is the most optimistic estimate."

"Oh, is it?"

"This is the result of being in the best state. In fact, after entering the gate of reincarnation, as the captain, how can we be in the best state."

"um, yes."

Murray flicked the cigarette butt directly into the sea, then reached out and took out two purple pills the size of soybeans.

"This is the soul pill my grandfather gave me. It was given to him by the former high priest Rathma. Because my grandfather's soul was injured, but he has never taken it. Now, there are only two.

After taking it, it can form a protective film on the soul, helping us resist the assimilation from the souls of those two great figures. Well, theoretically, taking one pill can increase the chance of surviving by ten percent. "

"What about those two?"

"The effect will be better, and the probability of survival will increase."

After speaking, Murray put a pill into Karen's chest pocket, and patted the pocket with his palm.

Karen reached out and took out the purple pill, put it in front of his face and looked at it carefully, and asked, "This should be very valuable, right?"

"Of course, but why are you asking that?"

"As many coupons as you want, I offer a friendly price. I bought it, and I can resell it on the black market for a small profit."

Murray thought that Karen was joking, walked directly to the cabin, waved his back to Karen, and said:

"If you don't sell it, it's for your life."

Karen squeezed the pill, looked at Murray's receding back from the corner of the eye, and murmured:

"Oh, this is your life."
