North Sea Cemetery.
This was a cemetery that covered an extremely large area. Patches of green pine and cypress trees were planted, implying that they would be evergreen throughout the ages.
The cemetery was the property of the government organization. Buried here were the souls of all the ancestors of the government organization after the Meiji Restoration.
Iwasaki Teito's funeral would be held in the cemetery's chapel. Forty years ago, he had sent the man who abandoned his wife to this cemetery. Forty years later, he would be buried here as well.
The funeral wasn't grand. For an elder of the Bloodline World who was highly respected and dedicated to his duty, a grand funeral was meaningless. It could even be considered a form of blasphemy.
But the funeral procession was very powerful. All the middle and upper echelons of the government organization were present. Even the heads of the Bloodline Families who were on good terms with the government organization personally attended the funeral.
The spacious chapel couldn't accommodate so many worshippers. The officials and family heads gathered inside the chapel. Those of lower status could only stand outside the chapel and pray for the old man.
Kuri Aoki sat in the middle to the left. Next to her was the family head, Daisuke Aoki. She closed her eyes and clasped her hands in front of her chest as she listened to the priest's prayers.
After the prayers, the people who came to the funeral lined up to see Iwasaki Teito's corpse. Kuri Aoki also went to take a look. Iwasaki Teito lay quietly in the coffin under the cross of Jesus.
It was a withered old man. To put it in more technical terms: a dried corpse.
His flesh and blood were shriveled, and his skin stuck to his bones. He looked like a dried corpse that had been dug out from a thousand-year-old tomb. But the old man was full of vitality when he was alive, and his organs hadn't deteriorated.
But after death, he looked so pitiful.
Kuri Aoki's heart sank. The signs of death were too obvious. In the current Bloodline World, only Li Xianyu knew how to use such a demonic technique.
Everyone's expressions were sorrowful and filled with righteous indignation.
After the ceremony, the staff brought over clean water and bread.
Kuri Aoki sat in a corner, munching on a piece of white bread of average quality. Her heart was full of worries.
Other than attending Iwasaki Teito's funeral, the government organization and the heads of the Bloodline Families were also discussing how to deal with this matter.
After seeing Iwasaki Teito's corpse, she keenly sensed that the church was filled with a repressed anger. Just a spark would be enough to ignite a huge fire.
If things were allowed to develop, Li Xianyu would most likely be the one to take the blame.
However, how to deal with the descendants of the Li family was a headache.
Li Xianyu wasn't an ordinary person. Putting Bosch aside, just the fact that he was a descendant of the Li family was enough to intimidate most forces in the Bloodline World.
No matter how the Bloodline Realm changed, the Far East would always have a person at the pinnacle of the Extreme Dao, a super expert who stood at the top of the world.
Unparalleled Fighting Soul!
If he wanted to deal with the descendants of the Li family, he would first have to get past the Unparalleled Fighting Soul.
The words "Unparalleled Battle Soul" were too heavy for the Japanese Bloodline World.
Just then, Kurumi Aoki heard two voices speaking in Chinese.
"Damn it, damn it! The organization didn't tell us that we need to attend Iwasaki Tachihito's funeral!"
"After all, he only died this morning."
"You saw his face just now, right? F * ck, I can guarantee with my integrity that the one who killed him was Li Xianyu. We saw many corpses like this in the Pantheon Palace, and they all died in the same way."
"Half-step Extreme Dao whose blood and Qi were sucked dry can't be eaten. Sigh. "
You still want to eat Iwasaki Tachihito's flesh?!
Are you dreaming?
Kurumi Aoki 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 hidden and piercing gazes the Japanese are giving us? I'm so confused right now, I want to go back. "
"We can't go back. According to the board of directors, they will definitely push the blame to us and tell us to talk to Li Xianyu."
"Speaking of which, why is Li Xianyu in Japan? Isn't he out on a secret mission? Do you think this was secretly arranged by the board of directors? "
"The board of directors can't order him around. I don't know the details, but Li Xianyu must have his reasons. He's not someone who does whatever he wants."
"I have a feeling that this trip to Japan will be very dangerous. When I return to Bosch, I want my points to double, no, ten times. Bah, I can't plant a flag. Children's words carry no harm."
Kurumi Aoki slowly turned her head and saw a handsome young man and a skinny man with tanned skin.
Information about the two quickly appeared in her mind. Earth God and Culinary God, two of the ten Gods in Bosch. Earth God's real name was Tian Hao, and Culinary God's real name was unknown.
Why are they in Japan?
After a brief moment of surprise, Kurumi Aoki finally understood. The government had signed an alliance with Bao Ze, and in that thick agreement, there was a mutual aid clause. If one party was being harmed beyond what they could handle, then as an ally, they were obligated to lend a helping hand.
There was another condition to this kind of help: the harmed party had to ask for help.
The government was not willing to ask for help from the Superpower Association, because they would have to be their underlings again. An organization that did not even have the ability to protect itself would not want to be on equal footing with them.
Therefore, asking for help from Bosch was an excellent choice. Bosch was rich, powerful, and talented. Most importantly, ever since the war, this country had been promoting "friendship" and "common prosperity" to the outside world.
They were a "helpful" neighbor.
But it was obvious that they were all political players, and their hearts were dirty.
Bao Ze had only sent two top-notch S Rankers. Although they were still a powerful force, they were definitely not up to the standard that the government organization had in mind.
The other party was not really that willing to help others. Sending two top S classes over was just a gesture of goodwill.
Kurumi Aoki criticized in her mind. Suddenly, she thought of Li Xianyu. If he knew what she was thinking, he would definitely hit her on the head.
At this time, Kurumi Aoki's attention was attracted by a loud noise.
She turned her head and saw a middle-aged man in his forties excitedly pushing away the people around him and standing beside Iwasaki Emperor's coffin.
His cheeks were streaked with tears, and his eyes were red. "Among all of you here, which one of you has not received the favor of my father? He promoted you, helped you, and even taught you. Without him, would you have the status you have today? "
Everyone's gaze was attracted to him, and they saw him pointing at a group of big shots and cursing.
Kurumi Aoki frowned. What is he doing? Arguing at a funeral is the greatest disrespect to the deceased.
She recognized this middle-aged man. He was Iwasaki Emperor's youngest son.
Iwasaki Emperor had three sons and two daughters. His eldest son was extremely talented, but he died in an assassination when he was young. His second son's talent was average, but he was resilient and extremely hardworking. However, he died in a joint anti-terrorist operation between the government and the Superpower Association.
The Japanese Bloodline World was arguing about the death of his second son, saying that it was the Superpower Association that caused his death. This was not without basis. In the past few years, the Japanese Bloodline World gradually grew stronger, and many people said that they wanted to leave the Superpower Association and be on equal footing with the Superpower Association.
The government did indeed do so.
Everyone had reason to believe that this accidental death was a warning from the Superpower Association to Iwasaki Emperor.
It was also after that incident that Iwasaki Emperor no longer liked to nurture his son. He kept his youngest son at home and raised him as a playboy, no longer allowing him to participate in the internal affairs of the government.
Yui Aoki had a deep impression of Iwasaki Chi, the second generation heir, because she had almost married him.
The youngest son of the leader of the government organization had an extremely high family status, and many women in the Bloodline World could not climb up to him.
Iwasaki Chi also liked Kurumi Aoki. She was young and beautiful, and she was more than ten years younger than him. If he married such a girl, he would not have to worry about becoming an old woman.
Later, due to three reasons, the Aoki family temporarily gave up on the idea of a marriage alliance.
First, the age difference was too big. If they married Kurumi Aoki, the Aoki family would inevitably be suspected of being a bootlicker.
The main reason was that Kurumi Aoki had too many fans, and when they heard that their goddess was going to marry the uncle, they exploded, and all kinds of rumors spread.
Second, Kurumi Aoki gradually rose to prominence, and the family wanted to see what kind of achievements she could achieve. After all, she was only nineteen at the time.
Third, Iwasaki Chi's cultivation was too weak, and he was not the Aoki family's ideal son-in-law candidate.
The Aoki family's ideal son-in-law had to have a prominent family background and be a dragon among men.
Iwasaki Chi waved his arms, his expression agitated. "The descendant of the Li family killed my father. This is a slap in the face to the government organization. But what about you? The Unparalleled War Soul is not to be trifled with, and the Unparalleled War Soul is unreasonable. You keep repeating these words, other than showing your weakness, it is meaningless.
"Today, Li Xianyu killed my father. Tomorrow, he will dare to kill anyone here, your family, your friends, and your families."
Many people furrowed their brows.
These words were not pleasant to hear, but it was the truth. Li Xianyu had snuck into Japan without permission from the customs, which was illegal in itself.
In the Blood Kin world, if they wanted to go abroad, they had to go through an additional procedure, and that was the approval of the local government organization.
Generally speaking, Blood Kin without a criminal record could travel to any country, but it also depended on their strength. S-class would be strictly monitored, and top-class S-class would not be approved by the local government without special reasons.
Half-step Extreme Dao and Extreme Dao bloodline descendants were not allowed to leave the country's borders.
No one was willing to let a human-shaped nuclear bomb play in front of their house. What if they decided to self-destruct?
Now that the two human-shaped nuclear bombs, Li Xianyu and the Unparalleled War Soul, had come to Japan, if the Blood Kin world did not say anything, it would be a huge hidden danger in terms of security, not to mention the international impact.
"Everyone, outsiders are bullying us. Are we just going to swallow this insult and humiliation? The leader of the government organization died in the hands of the Unparalleled War Soul, and we have to compromise and think of a foolproof plan? If this gets out, the whole world will laugh at us. "
Iwasaki Chi's gaze swept across the crowd. Some were helpless, some were indifferent, and most of them lowered their heads in shame.
"Everyone here will be nailed to the pillar of shame. After a few hundred years, will the spirit of Japanese samurai really disappear?"
Kuri Aoki could feel the tension in the atmosphere in the church growing heavier.
"Iwasaki-kun is right." Someone stood up and walked through the crowd to stand beside Iwasaki Chi. "I agree with Iwasaki-kun. Personally, our Kobayashi family is indebted to Emperor Iwasaki, and we have yet to repay him, so we will return the favor with revenge. Officially, Emperor Iwasaki is our leader, and he was assassinated in Japan. As a Blood Kin of Japan, we cannot tolerate it, and we cannot back down. "
Kobayashi kun, he saved your dog life. Kuri Aoki puffed her cheeks. She knew that Kobayashi Jiro was a hot-blooded swordsman who showed off his abilities, so it was easy for him to be provoked.
"You're right, if we choose to give in, it will be too ugly."
"We want the descendant of the Li family to pay with blood, and we want to avenge Elder Iwasaki."
The radicals expressed their opinions one after another.
The noise suddenly became louder. Kuri Aoki looked around and found that the radical group had more people than the calm group.
Emperor Iwasaki had high prestige in Japan, and most of the people present wanted to avenge him.
"Everyone calm down, calm down. We are still at war with the Tenshin Association, and it is not good to provoke the Unparalleled War Soul."
"What's there to be afraid of? We can ask the Supers Association for help. Besides, the descendant of the Li family is Bosch's employee, will Bosch allow him to do such a thing? "
"That's right, what is Bosch's attitude?"
Everyone looked at the God of Cookery and the God of Earth who were eating fruits.
They instantly became the focus of everyone's attention. The God of Earth Tian Hao looked calm on the surface, but he was cursing in his heart.
He looked at the indifferent God of Earth Culinary and suddenly realized that the board of directors had sent him and the God of Earth Culinary to Japan because they wanted him to be the team leader.
The God of Earth Culinary was a ranger who rarely participated in the internal affairs of Bosch. He didn't care about power and position, and he only cared about killing people and completing missions. In a sense, he was the same as San Wu.
This kind of person was definitely not suitable, but he was the leader.
Tian Hao stood up and faced the hostile gazes of the officials. He retracted his smile and said sincerely, "Everyone, I'm very sorry for the death of Iwasaki Emperor. I'm also deeply regretful. This morning, when you informed me of Iwasaki Emperor's death, I was very shocked. I couldn't believe that this was Li Xianyu's doing."
I have already reported this to the board of directors, and they will hold a meeting to discuss this matter. You don't have to worry. "
Then, he looked around and said, "But you said that it was Li Xianyu who did it, and I don't admit it. Unless you can show me evidence. "
"Evidence?" Iwasaki Chi snorted and took a step forward. He stared at Tian Hao and said, "That day in Kabukicho, someone saw the Unparalleled Fighting Soul. If you want witnesses, I can give them to you now because there are many people who saw the Unparalleled Fighting Soul. "
Tian Hao waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to confront the hostages, and asked him to continue.
He had asked around this morning. Kabukicho was in chaos that night, and the officials quickly dispersed the crowd to save the scene. It wasn't just one or two people who saw the Unparalleled Fighting Soul, but a large group of people.
He didn't understand the situation, so it was meaningless to ask the hostages. According to Tian Hao's plan, he should first get in touch with Li Xianyu, understand the whole story, and then investigate and think of a solution.
But Li Xianyu had gone missing.
"My father's autopsy report is the best evidence. Everyone knows that Li Xianyu is good at absorbing blood and Qi."
Tian Hao waved his hand again, "So other than seeing the Unparalleled Fighting Soul appear in Kabukicho, no one saw them kill Iwasaki Emperor?"
"Let me ask you, other than the Unparalleled Fighting Soul, who else could kill Iwasaki Senpai?"
"You've misunderstood. Although I don't know the details, this is obviously a conspiracy against Li Xianyu." Tian Hao said with a serious face, "I've seen the corpses of people whose blood and Qi were absorbed by Li Xianyu, and the way they died was slightly different from Iwasaki Emperor. It's obvious that someone faked Iwasaki Emperor's death to frame Li Xianyu. "
"Didn't the autopsy report also mention that Iwasaki Emperor died from some unknown poison? The corpses that died from Li Xianyu's left hand didn't look like this. I'll contact Bosch again and ask them to send over another autopsy report for comparison. Our Bosch has a lot of such reports. After all, Li Xianyu used his left hand to kill many people in the Panshin Shrine. "
The autopsy report could be faked, and he believed that Bosch would help exonerate Li Xianyu. After all, this wasn't just Li Xianyu's business.
In any case, he couldn't admit it. He was stalling for time. How to solve this problem was left to the board of directors. He would first stall for time and then think of a way to contact Li Xianyu.
It wasn't a secret that Bosch's reinforcements had arrived in Yoto. Li Xianyu only needed to pay attention to the official organization's movements to know that they had arrived in Yoto.
Everyone from the official organization was furious. Even an idiot could see that Tian Hao was quibbling and denying.
Tian Hao coughed, "In addition, I guarantee in the name of Bosch that all your worries will not come true. Li Xianyu is a partner of justice and will not harm you. What the official organization needs to solve now is not the issue of 'whether Li Xianyu is a threat', but the Tenshin Shrine! "
"This must be the Tenshin Shrine's partner of justice who framed Bosch." Culinary God nodded, indicating that it 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 toward the source of the voice and saw a girl in a sakura kimono walking toward the church. She had light makeup on, and her hair was tied behind her head. She didn't look bright and beautiful, but her eyes were cold and stern.
Before she could get close, a group of people in black suits had already surrounded her outside the church.
Kuri Aoki frowned. She knew this girl who was about the same age as her. She was her rival, Yukinako Sakurai.
