North Sea Cemetery.
This is a very large cemetery with patches of green pine and cypress trees, symbolizing everlasting greenness.
The cemetery is the property of the official organization. It contains the souls of all the ancestors since the establishment of the official organization after the Meiji Restoration.
The funeral of Teito Iwasaki will be held in the chapel of the cemetery. Forty years ago, he sent the man who abandoned his wife to the cemetery. Forty years later, he will be buried here.
The funeral was not grand. For a conscientious and highly respected elder in the blood world, a grand funeral was meaningless and even a kind of blasphemy.
However, the lineup attending the funeral was very strong. All the middle and high-level officials of the official organization were present. The head of the blood family who had good relations with the official organization also personally attended the funeral.
The spacious church could not accommodate the huge number of worshipers, so cadres and family heads gathered inside the church. Those with lower status could only stand outside the church and pray for the elderly.
Yui Aoki is sitting in the middle left position, next to the head of the family, Daisuke Aoki. She has her eyes closed, her hands clasped on her chest, listening to the priest's prayers, and praying with everyone.
After the prayers, people who came to attend the funeral lined up to pay their respects to Teito Iwasaki's body. Yui Aoki also went to see Iwasaki Teito quietly walking in the coffin under the cross of Jesus.
It was a haggard old man, or in more technical terms: a mummy.
His flesh and blood were shriveled, and his skin clung to his bones, like a mummy dug up from a thousand-year-old tomb. However, the old man's Qi and blood were strong during his lifetime, and his organs did not fail.
After death, he looked so miserable.
Aoki Yui's heart sank at that time. The characteristics of death were too obvious. In the world of blood descendants, the only one who was familiar with it was Li Xianyu.
Everyone looked sad, with a bit of indignation.
After paying homage, the staff presented water and bread.
Yui Aoki sat in the corner, munching on average-quality white bread, full of thoughts.
This time, in addition to attending the funeral of Emperor Iwasaki, the official organization and the heads of the blood family discussed how to handle the matter.
After viewing the remains of Emperor Iwasaki, she was keenly aware of the anger and repressed anger permeating the Holy See. Only a few sparks fall to the ground to ignite a huge fire.
If things are allowed to develop, Li Xianyu will most likely take the blame.
But how to deal with the heirs of the Li family is a headache.
Li Xianyu was not an ordinary person. Leaving aside Baoze, just the words "heir of the Li family" were enough to scare most of the forces in the blood world.
No matter how the world of vampires changes, there will always be a pinnacle in the Far East, a superpower who stands at the top of the world:
Unparalleled fighting spirit!
If you want to deal with the heirs of the Li family, you must first pass the unparalleled fighting spirit level.
The words "unparalleled fighting spirit" are too heavy for the blood descendants of the island country.
At this time, Aoki Yui heard two broken Chinese words:
"Death or death, the organization didn't tell us that we need to attend Iwasaki Teito's funeral."
"After all, he died early this morning."
"Did you look at his appearance just now? Damn it, I can guarantee with my integrity that the one who killed him was definitely Li Xianyu. We saw many such mummies when we were in the Palace of the Gods, and the characteristics of their death were exactly the same. "
"The half-step Ji Dao that drains away the energy and blood will make the meat inedible. Alas."
Still, do you want to eat Iwasaki-senpai’s meat? !
I'm afraid you're not thinking about shit.
Aoki Yui was shocked.
"Hey, there must be something wrong with your brain. You are still thinking about eating meat at this time. Haven't you seen the thorny eyes the islanders are giving us? I feel better now and I want to go back to my country."
"We can't go back. According to the board of directors' approach, the blame for this matter will definitely be passed to us and let us communicate with Li Xianyu."
"By the way, why is Li Xianyu in the island country? Didn't he go out to perform a secret mission? Do you think this matter was secretly sponsored by the board of directors?"
"The board of directors can't control him. I don't know the specific situation, but Li Xianyu must have his reasons. He is not a wanton person."
"I always feel that this trip to the island country will be very dangerous. When I get back to Baoze, I want to double my points, no, ten times... Bah, I can't plant a flag, children's words are unbridled, children's words are unbridled... . . .”
Aoki Yui slowly turned her head and saw a handsome young man and a lean man with dark skin.
The relevant information about the two people quickly came to mind. The God of Earth and the God of Cookery, two of the Ten Gods of Baoze, the real name of the God of Earth is Tian Hao, and the real name of the God of Cookery is unknown.
Why did they come to the island country
After being slightly stunned, Aoki Yui figured out that the official organization and Baozawa had signed an offensive and defensive alliance. In that thick agreement, it included mutual assistance, that is, when one party was harmed beyond the limit of its own ability, As an ally, we have an obligation to help.
There is also a prerequisite for this kind of help: the injured party must take the initiative to request assistance.
Official organizations are unwilling to ask for help from the Superpowers Association, because then they have to act as their little brother. Is it possible that an organization that has no ability to protect itself still wants to be on an equal footing with others
Therefore, it is an excellent choice to seek help from Baoze. Baoze is rich, powerful, and full of talents. The key is that since the war, this country has used slogans such as "friendship" and "mutual prosperity" to the outside world.
A "helpful" neighbor.
But obviously, they are all playing politics and have very dirty hearts.
Baoze only sent two top S-classes. Although they were a very strong force, they certainly did not meet the official organization's inner standards.
They are not really that helpful, so they sent two top S-class people here just to show their kindness.
Aoki Yui cursed, suddenly thinking of Li Xianyu. If he found out about his thoughts, he would definitely get hit on the head.
At this time, Yui Aoki was attracted by a loud noise.
Looking sideways, a middle-aged man in his forties excitedly pushed aside the people around him and stood next to Teito Iwasaki's coffin.
His cheeks were streaked with tears, his eyes were red, and he was very emotional: "Which of you here has not received the favor of your father? He promoted you, helped you, and even taught you. Without him, would you be where you are today?"
People's eyes were drawn to him, looking at him pointing at a group of big shots and cursing.
Yui Aoki frowned and thought to himself, what are you making a fuss about? Having a conflict at a funeral is the greatest disrespect to the deceased.
She recognized this middle-aged man as the youngest son of Teito Iwasaki.
Teito Iwasaki had three sons and two daughters. The eldest son was extremely talented and died in an assassination when he was young. The second son was mediocre in talent, but he was resilient and extremely hardworking. However, he died in an anti-terrorism operation jointly organized by the official organization and the Super Power Association.
There are different opinions in the blood community of the island country about the death of the second son, and they all say that he was killed by the Superpower Association. This is not without basis. In the past few years, the blood community in the island country has gradually grown, and there have been many comments about breaking away from the Power User Association and wanting to be on an equal footing with the Power User Association.
Official organizations do exactly that.
Everyone has reason to believe that this unexpected death is a warning from the Superpower Association to Teito Iwasaki.
After that incident, Emperor Iwasaki no longer cared about nurturing his son. He kept his only youngest son at home and raised him as a second-generation ancestor who ate, drank and had fun, and no longer allowed him to get involved in the internal affairs of the official organization.
Aoki Yui was very impressed by Iwasakiike, the second generation ancestor, because she almost married this guy.
The youngest son of the leader of an official organization, his family background and status are so high that many women in the blood world cannot reach the top.
Iwasakichi also likes Yui Aoki very much. She is young, beautiful, and a top beauty, and is more than ten years younger than him. If you marry such a girl, you don't have to worry about turning into a slut.
Later, the Aoki family temporarily gave up the idea of marriage for three reasons:
First, the age difference is too big. If Aoki Yui is married, the Aoki family will inevitably be suspected of being a bitch.
The main reason was that Yui Aoki, who had just grown up at that time, had too many fans. When he heard that the goddess was going to marry the uncle, his mentality exploded, and all kinds of rumors were rampant.
Second, Yui Aoki is gradually rising to prominence, and the family also wants to see what achievements she can achieve. After all, she was only nineteen at the time.
Third, Iwasakichi's cultivation is too poor and he is not the most ideal son-in-law candidate for the Aoki family.
The most ideal son-in-law of the Aoki family is one who has a prominent family background and is also a powerful person.
Iwasaki waved his arms and looked excited: "The heirs of the Li family killed my father. This is a slap in the face of your official organization. But what about you? The Wushuang Fighting Spirit is not easy to mess with, and the Wushuang Fighting Spirit is unreasonable. You have repeatedly said this These words mean nothing except to show your weakness."
"Today Li Xianyu killed my father, and tomorrow he will dare to kill anyone present, your relatives and friends, and your family."
Many people frowned slightly.
This sounds unpleasant, but it is true. Li Xianyu hid from the customs and sneaked into the island country privately, which was an illegal act in itself.
In the Vampire world, if you want to go abroad, you have to go through one more process than ordinary people, and that is the approval of the local Vampire official organization.
Generally speaking, blood descendants with no criminal record can travel to various countries at will, but it also depends on their strength. S-level ones will be strictly monitored. If there is no special reason for the top S-level ones, the local official organizations will basically not agree.
As for half-step Ji Dao and the blood descendants of Ji Dao, they are 100% unable to leave the country.
No one wants a humanoid nuclear bomb playing outside their house, just in case you get carried away and explode yourself.
Now, two humanoid nuclear bombs, Li Xianyu and Wushuang Fighting Spirit, have arrived in the island country. If the blood community of the island country remains silent and admits its defeat, not to mention the international impact, it will be a huge security risk.
"Gentlemen, outsiders have bullied us, do we still have to swallow our anger? The leader of the official organization died at the hands of Wushuang War Spirit, but we have to compromise and come up with a perfect solution? If this matter spreads, the whole world will laugh at us .”
Iwasaki glanced at everyone. Some were helpless, some were indifferent, and more people lowered their heads in shame.
"Everyone present will be nailed to the pillar of shame. Hundreds of years later, our descendants will still be living today. Is the spirit of the warriors of our island nation really gone?"
Yui Aoki felt that the air in the church was becoming more solemn and full of gunpowder.
"Iwasaki-kun is right." Someone stood up from his chair, strode away from the crowd, and stood with Iwasaki-ike: "I agree with Iwasaki-kun. Personally, Mr. Iwasaki-san is kind to my Kobayashi family. If you don't repay a favor, you will repay a favor with revenge. Mr. Yu, Emperor Iwasaki is our leader. He was assassinated in the island country. As a blood descendant of the island country, we absolutely cannot tolerate it and cannot retreat."
Kobayashi-kun, someone saved your life... Yui Aoki puffed up his cheeks. She knew that Jiro Kobayashi was a passionate swordsman with a sharp edge, so he was easily aroused and moved.
"You're right, it would be too ugly if you choose to give in."
"We want the heirs of the Li family to pay with blood and avenge Senior Iwasaki."
Radicals expressed their opinions one after another with emotion.
The noise suddenly became louder. Aoki Yui looked around and found that the number of radicals was objectively larger than the calm.
Emperor Iwasaki has a very high prestige in the island country, and most of the people present want to avenge him.
"Everyone, calm down, calm down. Now that the war between us and Tianjin Shrine is still going on, it is really difficult to provoke the unparalleled fighting spirit."
"If there is anything we dare not provoke, we can ask the Superpower Association for help. Besides, the heir of the Li family is an employee of Baoze. Will Baoze tolerate him doing such a thing?"
"Yeah, what's Bao Ze's attitude?"
A bunch of eyes turned to the God of Food and the God of Earth who were sitting in a row eating fruits.
In an instant, he became the focus of everyone's attention... Tushen Tianhao looked as calm as an old dog on the outside, but cursed MMP in his heart.
He glanced at the God of Cookery, who had nothing to do with him and had an indifferent expression, and suddenly realized that the board of directors had sent him and the God of Cookery to the island country, but they had actually appointed him as the team leader.
The God of Cookery is a jungle ranger who seldom participates in Baoze's internal affairs. He doesn't care about power and position, and only kills people and completes tasks. In a sense, he is the same as Sanwu.
Such a person is definitely not suitable to lead a team.
Tian Hao stood up, faced the unkind eyes of the official organization, suppressed his smile, and said in a sincere tone: "Everyone, I am very sorry for the death of Emperor Iwasaki, and I also deeply regret it. You informed me of the death of Emperor Iwasaki early this morning, I was very surprised and couldn’t believe that this was Li Xianyu’s doing.”
"I have informed the board of directors about this matter. The board of directors will definitely hold a meeting to discuss the matter. There is no need to worry."
After speaking, he looked around at the crowd: "But if you say that Li Xianyu did this, I personally don't admit it. Unless you can produce evidence."
"Evidence?" Iwasakichi snorted coldly, took a step forward, and glared at Tian Hao fiercely: "That day in Kabukicho, someone saw the Wushuang Fighting Spirit with his own eyes. If you want a witness, I can give it to you now, because I saw him There are not a few people who come to Wushuang Fighting Spirit."
Tian Hao waved his hand, indicating that he did not need to confront the hostages for the time being, and motioned for him to continue.
He had inquired this morning. Kabukicho was in chaos that night. People from the official organization quickly dispersed the people and rushed to the rescue. The people who saw the unparalleled fighting spirit were not just one or two people, but a large number of people.
He didn't understand the situation, so there was no point in questioning the hostages. According to Tian Hao's idea, he should first get in touch with Li Xianyu to understand the whole story, conduct investigations, and think about countermeasures.
But Li Xianyu lost 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: "Does that mean that apart from witnessing the unparalleled fighting spirit appearing in Kabukicho, no one saw their ancestors and grandsons killing Emperor Iwasaki?"
"Excuse me, except for the unparalleled fighting spirit, who can kill Iwasaki-senpai?" Someone accused him angrily.
"You have misunderstood. Although we don't know the specific situation, this is obviously a conspiracy against Li Xianyu." Tian Hao said with a serious face: "I have seen the remains of people whose blood was devoured by Li Xianyu. It is slightly different from the death of Emperor Iwasaki. It is obvious that someone faked the death of Emperor Iwasaki to frame Li Xianyu."
"Isn't there also suspicion in the autopsy report? It is suspected that Iwasaki Teito died of some unknown toxin. The body that died from Li Xianyu's left hand magic is not like this. I will notify Bao Ze again and ask them to send an autopsy report. For comparison. We Baoze have many such reports, after all, Li Xianyu relied on his left hand to kill many people in the Palace of the Gods."
The autopsy report can be forged. I believe Baoze will exonerate Li Xianyu. After all, this is not Li Xianyu's fault alone.
Anyway, he just couldn't admit it and was stalling for time. How to solve this matter was left to the board of directors to have a headache. He stalled for time first, and then tried to find a way to contact Li Xianyu.
The arrival of Baoze's reinforcements in Tokyo was not a secret. Li Xianyu would know that they had arrived in Tokyo if he paid a little attention to the movements of official organizations.
Everyone in the official organization present was furious, and 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 just now will not come true. Li Xianyu is... a righteous partner and will not harm you. What the official organization needs to solve now It’s not about “whether Li Xianyu is dangerous,” but about Tenjin Shrine!”
"This must be the righteous partner of Tianjin Shrine who framed our Baoze." The God of Cookery nodded, indicating that this is the fact.
"What if I have evidence to prove that Li Xianyu is the murderer." A clear voice suddenly came from outside the church.
Everyone followed the sound, and a girl wearing a cherry blossom kimono came in. She wore light makeup, and her black hair was pulled up on the back of her head. Her bright and charming appearance was gone, and her eyebrows were cold and serious.
Before she could get close, a crowd of people wearing black suits had already surrounded her outside the church.
Aoki Yui frowned. She knew that this girl of similar age was her old enemy Yuki Sakurai who was of the same age.
