597 The funeral
At the North Sea Cemetery.
This was a Cemetery that covered a large area. Green pine and cypress trees were planted here, meaning that it would last forever.
The cemetery was the property of the official organization, where all the dead souls of the ancestors since the establishment of the official organization after the Meiji Restoration were buried.
The funeral of the Iwazaki Emperor would be held in the small church in the cemetery. Forty years ago, he had sent the man who had abandoned his wife to the cemetery, and today, forty years later, he would be buried here.
The funeral was not Grand. For an elder of the demon descendants community who was dedicated to his duty and had high prestige, a Grand funeral was meaningless and even blasphemy.
However, the lineup for the funeral was very strong. All the middle and high-level officials of the official organization attended, and the demon descendant families who were on good terms with the official organization also attended the funeral with their Masters.
The spacious church could not accommodate the vast number of worshippers. The cadres and family heads gathered in the church, while those with lower status could only stand outside the church and pray for the elderly.
Aoki Yui sat in the middle on the left, next to the family master, Daisuke Aoki. She closed her eyes, her hands on her chest, listening to the priest’s prayer and praying with the crowd.
After the prayer, the people who came to attend the funeral lined up to see the deceased face of the Yanqi Emperor. Aoki Yui also went to take a look, and the Iwazaki Emperor was lying quietly in the coffin under the cross of Jesus.
It was a wizened old man. In more professional terms, he said, ” It was a dried corpse.
His flesh and blood were dried up, and his skin stuck to his bones. He looked like a dried corpse that had been dug out of a thousand-year-old tomb. However, the old man was full of qi and blood when he was alive, and his organs did not fail.
After his death, he was in such a miserable state.
Aoki Yui’s heart sank at that time. The characteristics of death were too obvious. In today’s demon descendants community, the only familiar one who could use this demonic technique was li Xianyu.
Everyone’s faces were mournful and carried a bit of righteous indignation.
At the end of the worship, the staff served water and bread.
Aoki Yui sat in the corner, burying her head in white bread of average quality, full of thoughts.
This time, apart from attending Emperor yanzaki’s funeral, the official organization and the heads of the demon descendant families discussed how to deal with this matter.
After paying her respects to Emperor Nirou’s final appearance, she could keenly sense that there was a wave of suppressed anger in the church. Just a little bit more and it would’ve ignited a huge fire.
If things were allowed to develop, li Xianyu would be the one to take the blame.
But how to deal with the Li family descendant was a very troublesome matter.
Li Xianyu was not an ordinary person. Putting aside baoze, just the words ” Li family descendant ” were enough to make most of the forces in the demon descendants community feel intimidated.
No matter how the demon descendants ‘community had changed, there would always be a peak Gokudo master in the Far East, a Super Master standing at the top of the world:
The unparalleled war spirit!
To deal with the Li family descendant, one must first get through the unparalleled war spirit.
The words ” unparalleled war spirit ” were too heavy for the demon descendants community in Japan.
At this time, Aoki Yui heard two Chinese mumbling, ”
damn it, damn it, the organization didn’t tell us that we need to attend the funeral of the Iwazaki clan’s Emperor.
“After all, he died early this morning.”
you saw his appearance just now, right? f * ck, I can guarantee with my moral integrity that the one who killed him was li Xianyu. We have seen many dried corpses like this in the great deities Palace, and the characteristics of their deaths are exactly the same.
“If you exhaust a half-step Gokudo master’s dry blood, you won’t be able to eat meat. Sigh.”
And, and you want to eat Iwazaki-senpai’s meat?
You must be thinking of eating farts.
Aoki Yui was shocked.
“Hey, hey, is there something wrong with your brain? you’re still thinking about eating meat at this time. Didn’t you see the Japanese people casting us obscure and piercing looks? I’m feeling so good right now, I want to go back to China.”
we can’t go back. According to the practice of the Board of Directors, we will definitely be blamed for this and let us communicate with li Xianyu.
“By the way, why is li Xianyu in Japan? didn’t he go out on a secret mission? Do you think the Board of Directors is behind this?”
the Board of Directors can’t order him around. I don’t know the specific situation, but li Xianyu must have his reasons. He’s not a reckless person.
I feel that this trip to Japan will be very dangerous. When I return to baoze,. want to double my points, no, ten times ... Pfft, I can’t plant the flag, children’s words carry no harm ...”
Aoki Yui slowly turned her head and saw a handsome young man and a dark-skinned thin man.
The relevant information of the two people quickly emerged in his mind. Earth God and food God, two of the ten gods of baoze. The real name of earth God was Tian Hao, and the real name of food God was unknown.
Why did they come to Japan?
After a little surprise, Aoki Yui understood that the official organization and baoze had signed an Alliance of attack and defense. In that thick agreement, it included mutual assistance. That was, when one party was harmed beyond the limit of their own ability to bear, as an ally, they had the obligation to help.
There was also a prerequisite for this help: The victim must be the one to request for help.
The official organizations were not willing to ask for help from the Association of superpowered beings, because they would have to be their underlings again. An organization that did not even have the ability to protect themselves, how could they be on equal footing with others?
Therefore, seeking help from baoze was an excellent choice. Baoze was rich, strong, and full of talents. The key was that since the war, the country had developed slogans such as ” friendship ” and ” common prosperity “.
He was a ‘helpful’ neighbor.
However, it was obvious that they were all involved in politics, and their hearts were very dirty.
Baoze only sent two top S-Class members. Although it was also a strong force, it certainly did not meet the standards of the official organization.
They weren’t really that helpful and sent two top S-Class people over for the sake of it.
Aoki Yui thought to herself and suddenly thought of li Xianyu. If he knew about her thoughts, she would definitely be knocked on the head.
At this time, Aoki Yui’s attention was attracted by a loud noise.
He turned his head and saw a middle-aged man who was not even forty years old pushing the people around him away excitedly and standing beside Emperor niroqi’s coffin.
His face was streaked with tears and his eyes were red. He was emotional.”Which one of you here hasn’t received father’s favor? he promoted you, helped you, and even taught you. Without him, do you think you would have the status you have today?”
...
Many gazes were drawn to him, watching him point at a group of important figures and curse.
Aoki Yui frowned and thought, ” what’s going on? it’s the greatest disrespect to the dead to have a conflict at a funeral.
She recognized this middle-aged man, he was the youngest son of the Iwazaki clan.
Emperor Yanqi had three sons and two daughters. The eldest son was extremely talented and died in an assassination attempt when he was young. The second son had average talent, but he was resilient and extremely hardworking. However, he died in an anti-terrorism operation jointly organized by the official organization and the Association of superpowered beings.
There were many rumors about the death of the second son in the demon descendants ‘community in Japan. They all said that he was killed by the Association of superpowered beings. This was not without basis. In those years, the demon descendants ‘community in Japan gradually grew, and there were many remarks that they wanted to leave the Association of superpowered beings and be on equal footing with it.
The official organization had indeed done so.
Everyone had reason to believe that this accidental death was a warning from the Association of superpowered beings to the Iwazaki clan.
It was also after that incident that Emperor yanzaki no longer liked to groom his son. He kept his only youngest son at home and raised him as a second generation who could eat, drink, and play. He no longer allowed him to participate in the internal affairs of the official organization.
Aoki Yui had a deep impression of Iwazaki, this rich second generation, because she almost married this guy.
He was the youngest son of the leader of an official organization. His family status was so high that many women in the demon descendants ‘community wanted to climb up but couldn’t.
Iwazaki was also very fond of Aoki Yui. She was young, beautiful, and a rare beauty. Moreover, she was more than ten years younger than him. If he married such a girl, he would not have to worry about her turning into an old hag.
...
Later, for three reasons, the Aoki family temporarily dismissed the idea of marriage:
First, the age difference was too big. If Aoki Yui was married over, the Aoki family would inevitably be suspected of being bootlickers.
The main reason was that Aoki Yui, who had just grown up, had too many fans. When she heard that her goddess was going to marry an uncle, her mentality exploded, and all kinds of rumors were rampant.
Second, Aoki Yui was gradually emerging, and the family also wanted to see what kind of achievements she could achieve. After all, she was only nineteen years old at that time.
Thirdly, Iwazaki’s cultivation level was too low, and she was not the ideal candidate for the Aoki family’s son-in-law.
The most ideal son-in-law of the Aoki family was someone who had a prominent family background and was also a Dragon among men with great strength.
Iwazaki waved his arms around excitedly. “The Li family descendant killed my father, which is a slap in the face of your official organization. But you? The unparalleled war spirit is not to be trifled with. The unparalleled war spirit is unreasonable. These words that you have repeatedly said are meaningless in addition to showing your weakness.”
today, li Xianyu killed my father. Tomorrow, he will dare to kill anyone present. He will kill your family and friends, and destroy your family.
Many people frowned.
This was not a good thing, but it was a fact. Li Xianyu went through customs and sneaked into Japan, which was illegal in itself.
In the demon descendants community, if one wanted to go abroad, there was one more procedure than ordinary people, which was the consent of the local official demon descendants organization.
Generally speaking, demon descendants without a criminal record could travel to and from various countries at will, but it also depended on their strength. S-Class people would be strictly monitored, and the local official organizations would basically not agree to the top S-Class without special reasons.
Demon descendants who were half-step Gokudo path and Gokudo path could not leave the country.
No one would be willing to play with a human-shaped nuclear bomb in front of their house. What if you self-destructed?
Now, li Xianyu and the unparalleled war spirit, the two human-shaped nuclear bombs, had come to Japan. If the demon descendants ‘community in Japan were to remain silent and admit defeat, not to mention the International impact, it would be a great hidden danger in terms of security.
“Everyone, outsiders are bullying us. Do we have to swallow our anger? The leader of the official organization died in the hands of the unparalleled war spirit, but we have to compromise and think of a foolproof plan? If this gets out, the whole world will laugh at us.”
Iwazaki’s gaze swept across the crowd. Some were helpless, some were unmoved, and most lowered their heads in shame.
everyone here will be nailed to the pillar of shame. A few hundred years later, our descendants will still be here today. Is the spirit of Japanese Warriors really gone? ”
Aoki Yui felt that the air in the church was getting heavier, and the smell of gunpowder was everywhere.
“What Iwazaki-kun said is right.” Someone slapped his chair and stood up, striding through the crowd and standing beside Iwazaki. “I agree with what Iwazaki-kun said. Personally, our Kobayashi family owes Emperor Nirou-senpai a great debt of gratitude, and we have yet to repay this debt, so we shall repay it with revenge. Emperor Yan Qi is our leader, and he was assassinated in Japan. As a descendant of Japan, we can not tolerate this, we can not back down.”
‘Kobayashi-kun, I saved your dog life ...’ Aoki Yui puffed up her cheeks. She knew that Kobayashi Jiro was a hot-blooded swordsman, so it was easy for his emotions to be stirred up and his rhythm to be controlled.
“You’re right. If you choose to give in, that would be too unsightly.”
“We want the descendant of the Li family to pay with his blood, and we want to avenge senior Nirou.”
The radicals expressed their views with emotion.
The clamor suddenly became louder. Aoki Yui looked around and found that the number of people in the radical faction was very objective, more than that of the calm faction.
The Iwazaki Emperor had a high prestige in Japan, and the majority of the people present wanted to avenge him.
everyone, calm down, calm down. Now that the war between us and Tian Shen temple has not ended, it is not easy to provoke the unparalleled war spirit.
“What’s there to be afraid of? we can ask the Association of superpowered beings for help. Besides, the Li family descendant is an employee of baoze. Will baoze tolerate him doing this?”
yeah, what’s baoze’s attitude? ”
Everyone’s eyes turned to the God of food and the God of Earth, who were sitting in rows and eating fruits.
In an instant, he had become the focus of everyone’s attention ... Earth God Tian Hao’s expression was as calm as an old dog, but he was cursing in his heart.
He looked at the indifferent God of food and suddenly realized that the Board of Directors sent him and God of food to Japan because they had appointed him as the team leader.
The God of food was a Ranger who rarely participated in baoze’s internal affairs. He didn’t care about power and duties, only killing people and doing missions. In a sense, he was the same as San Wu.
Such a person was definitely not suitable to lead the team.
Tian Hao stood up and faced the unfriendly eyes of the official organization. He stopped smiling and said in a sincere tone, everyone, I’m very sorry for the death of Emperor yanzaki. This morning, you told me the news of his death. I was very surprised and couldn’t believe that it was li Xianyu’s doing.
I’ve already informed the Board of Directors of this matter. I’m sure they’ll hold a meeting to discuss this matter, so there’s no need to worry.
After that, he looked around at the crowd. but you said that this was done by li Xianyu. I don’t admit it. Unless you can produce evidence.”
“Evidence?” Iwazaki coldly snorted, and took a step forward, glaring at Tian Hao: “Someone saw the unparalleled war spirit in Kabukicho that day. If you want a witness, I can give it to you now, because there are many people who have seen the unparalleled war spirit.”
Tian Hao waved his hand, indicating that he didn’t need to confront the hostage for the time being, and motioned for him to continue.
He had asked around this morning. Kabukicho was in chaos that night. The official organization quickly dispersed the people and rushed to save the scene. It was not one or two people who saw the unparalleled war spirit, but a large group of people.
He didn’t know the situation, so it was meaningless to ask the hostage. According to Tian Hao’s idea, he should get in touch with li Xianyu first, understand the whole story, and then do an investigation and think of countermeasures.
However, li Xianyu was out of contact.
my father’s autopsy report is the best evidence. Everyone knows that li Xianyu is good at absorbing qi and blood.
Tian Hao waved his hand again. that is to say, other than witnessing the unparalleled war spirit appear in Kabukicho, no one saw them kill Emperor yanzaki? ” he asked.
may I ask, other than the unparalleled war spirit, who can kill senior Iwazaki? ” Someone criticized.
You’ve misunderstood. Although I don’t know the specific situation, this is obviously a conspiracy against li Xianyu. Tian Hao said with a serious face, ” I’ve seen the remains of people whose qi and blood were devoured by li Xianyu. It’s slightly different from the death of the Emperor Yanqi. Obviously, someone forged the death of Emperor yanzaki and framed li Xianyu.”
“Didn’t the autopsy report also have the suspicion that Emperor Nirou died from some unknown poison? The body that died from li Xianyu’s left hand was not like this. I’ll inform baoze again and ask them to send an autopsy report for comparison. We have a lot of such reports in baoze. After all, li Xianyu relied on his left hand to kill people in the great deities Palace.”
The autopsy report could be forged, and he believed that baoze would exonerate li Xianyu. After all, this was not li Xianyu’s personal matter.
Anyway, he just couldn’t admit it and delay time. How to solve this matter would be left to the Board of Directors to worry about. He would delay time first, and then find a way to contact Li Xianyu.
It was not a secret that baoze’s reinforcements had arrived in Tokyo. Li Xianyu only needed to pay a little attention to the movements of the official organization to know that they had come to Tokyo.
Everyone from the official organizations present was furious. Even a fool could see that Tian Hao was quibbling and denying.
Tian Hao coughed. in addition, I guarantee in the name of baoze that all your worries will not come true. Li Xianyu was ... My righteous companions will not hurt you. The official organization is now trying to solve the problem of ‘whether li Xianyu is dangerous’, but the Tian Shen temple!”
this must be the righteous partner of the deity society who framed our baoze. The culinary God nodded, indicating that this was the truth.
What if I have evidence to prove that li Xianyu is the murderer? ” A crisp voice suddenly came from outside the church.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice. A girl in a Sakura kimono walked over slowly. She had light makeup on, and her black hair was tied behind her head. Her bright and beautiful face had faded, and her eyes were cold and serious.
Before she could get close, a crowd of people in black suits had surrounded her outside the church.
Aoki Yui frowned. She knew this girl who was about the same age as her. She was her old enemy, Sakurai yukinako.
