AZI: Burial of a Selfish Lunatic

Full Title, AZI: The History Shattering Burial of a Selfish Lunatic, Who Walked through Reincarnation for Two-Trillion Years Volumes 1-3 Synopsis: “Who?” Holding a lone gourd in hand the young man raises it to the Heavens with a single question. “Who wishes to accompany me? To stay by my side for an eternity, and to walk through the mountains, and seas?” May container spoilers below Volume 4 Synopsis: Weapon spirits, such is the nature of every single Sinner within the Leng Bing Realm. In other words, all of them are but tools, and a tool… “A tool has no right to choose their owner, and what a tool does is decided by their owner.” “…Cruel, how very cruel the laws of this world are. Even upon death, a soul may not rest.” Volume 5 Synopsis: “Surnamed Ye, if you had a choice between being a hero or a demon lord, which would you choose? Naturally, you can also choose to be a villager A or B if you wanted to.” “What kind of question is that? Hmm.” Contemplating for a bit, Ye Chen answers— “I guess, the hero? Since he always wins in the end?” “Hero, is it?” “And you, surnamed Long?” “I think, the role of the hero—is a role that should only be played by a masochist.” “The hell? Is this entire question supposed to be a way to diss me?” “The fate of a hero is to suffer. They’re constantly being pushed left and right. …While everyone else drowns in a sea of despair, a hero must stand their ground, and step forward—to guide the deadbeats along. They must become the shining beacon of hope that others may follow—towards a future, where they may survive. Tell me then, if a hero isn’t a masochist, then what are they?” The world is a game board, those who control the game board, and the game itself… What are they? Volume 6 Synopsis: “A lunatic near death has three options. One, they can choose to pass away peacefully. Two, they can choose to spend the rest of their remaining life to find a solution that will let them live. Three, they can drag an entire world down as a part of their burial.” ……… “The longer you live for, and the more you experience, the less you care about the things around you. Maybe, I’m just someone who has reached that point?” ……… “You’re right in saying that even if this world goes up into flames, I’d still be drinking away at my leisure. Why bother to care for a world that is completely foreign to me? The people who I had cared for, they aren’t here; hence, I see very little purpose in getting myself invested into this environment.” ……… The 46th prince of the Hong Xiao Empire was born between the emperor and the 114th concubine. He was born on a moonlit night, and yet, since his eyes were blind, his majesty—the emperor decided to name him Bujian Yue. “Did you know—that the more fearful a prey is, the tastier it is? At least to me, since I enjoy chewing on my food to savor the flavor.” “…?” Enlarging its stature, the black serpent abruptly snaps its head forward, and swallows the palace maid whole. Leaving a bite mark on the ground, the black serpent begins to chew, as the sound of meat and bones being pulverized comes from its maw. And eventually, the black serpent swallows.

AZI Volume 1 Chapter 19

The next day—

"Right, let me introduce you to our office's main mode of transport. Her name is Christiana."

"…"

"This…"

"Captain will this thing last the trip?"

Compared to Long Hua and Yu Ji, who are a bit hesitant to point the matter out, Qing Yue raises her concern to Ye Chen readily.

In front of the five is a black off-road truck that has most definitely seen better days. Shades of rust can be seen here and there, but the tire set of the vehicle seems fresh.

Packed onto the back of the vehicle are some outdoor camping supplies that will most definitely be used during the trip.

"Remember kids, it's not about how she looks on the outside. It's what's on the inside that counts."

Towards this sleazebag like answer, Long Hua walks forward and presses a hand onto the vehicle.

(Tai Xuan.)

As information regarding the vehicle enters his head, Long Hua frowns before taking three steps back.

"It will hold. But another 5,000 miles later… Get your divorce papers ready and start looking for a Christiana II."

"Yeah, the mechanic was saying the same thing when I brought it off him for cheap with those tires installed."

"We're low on funds right now, so we'll just have to bear with it."

Opening the doors of the tall truck the three lieutenants are a bit surprised to see how clean it was on the inside.

The driver's seat is occupied by Ye Chen while Li Xue takes the passenger seat beside him.

Yu Ji is the first to enter the back seat while Qing Yue struggles a bit to climb onto the vehicle due to her height.

"C'mon."

"I don't like this at all…"

Holding Qing Yue by her hip, Long Hua gives her a boost into the backseats.

"Hey, Long Hua, you ride a bike?"

"I do. Something the matter?"

"No, just reminds me of the unpleasant guy from yesterday…"

"…Hm?"

With everyone now inside the vehicle, the group sets off for the edge of the city.

Despite how the off-road truck had looked on the outside, the riding experience wasn't too bad.

"…How is he able to sleep like that?"

Looking at Long Hua, who is leaning his head against the window and is sleeping peacefully, Yu Ji can't help but shake his head.

"Being able to sleep at any time is a valuable skill to have on the frontlines. You can practice that right now if you want."

"I'll pass."

Upon reaching the edge of the city's crystal walls, the sight of a checkpoint comes into view.

The checkpoint consists of dormitories, and other living faculties for military personnel, who are stationed here as guards all year round.

"Halt."

Coming to a stop in front of a raised hydraulic barrier system, Ye Chen produced a leave permit to the guard, who had approached them.

"Everything checks out. You can go."

With the permit approved, the hydraulic barriers are lowered, allowing them to drive through.

"Hey, mind if I ask a question?"

"Go ahead."

Showing his phone that displays a patrol route, Ye Chen asks—

"What can I expect to run into in these areas?"

"There's a village on this route. Other than that… Not much else that I can tell you."

"Thanks."

Detecting something in the guard's eyes, Ye Chen inwardly frowns as he drives off.

"Well?"

"I get the feeling that this two-day trip is gotta be an interesting experience."

"Interesting in a good way or…?"

A light of anticipation emanates from Li Xue's eyes as she asks this question.

"Shall see."

...…

As the group continues their travels and distances themselves from the city by a bit more than 25 miles, Ye Chen stops the truck.

This is their first area to look through.

Surrounding the vehicle are towering buildings of old that have greenery growing out of their breaches.

"I feel like, I'm looking at another world."

Reflected onto the surface of Qing Yue's bright pink eyes is a world, where plants have thoroughly overrun these old structures, making it difficult to imagine that this land had once been a part of civilization.

"…"

Pieces of rubble that were once a part of the buildings, where people had called a home, or a workplace is scattered throughout the area.

(…What a sublime and comedic scenery really. Humans… As grand as your civilization can be, nature will always be able to outlast it.)

Mother nature has completely reclaimed this land from the clutches of humanity, that would be one way to describe the landscape before the five's eyes.

"Wake up, the sleeping 2nd Lieut."

"I'm already up."

"Didn't notice. Li Xue, explain what patrol means to them."

"25 miles away from the city's barrier devices, that is the limit of the city's detection system's scanning range. Our task here, is to head over to each of the computer terminals that acts as a miniature relay tower. We read the data, collect the recording chip, then give the machine a new one—that is scheduled for pickup by the next squad that performs the patrol two days after us."

"Simple enough to understand right? 2nd Lieut. Long Hua and 2nd Lieut. Qing Yue, you two are heading out with me. Li Xue and 2nd Lieut. Yu Ji, gets to stay and watch the transport."

It was then that Long Hua realized something.

(He keeps calling me and the other two second lieutenants, but he calls the vice-captain by her name… I see, a lack of trust.)

Which isn't something that Long Hua has any rights to judge—seeing as how he himself is a person who is very cautious about who he would put his trusts on.

Getting out of the truck, Long Hua turns around and raises his hand out to Qing Yue, but—

"Don't need it."

"Heh."

With a chuckle, Long Hua takes three steps back while Qing Yue jumps onto the ground with a solid landing.
