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 3 Chapter 24

Back at the office—

"Ai…"

Heaving a heavy sigh, Ye Chen pinches the bridge of his nose.

"Captain, what do we do with this?"

Showing the Carp that she had received from Chen Lan, Yu Ji—who was keeping quiet throughout the entire exchange, finally decides to speak.

"Just leave it at the table."

"You were awfully quiet during that exchange."

Towards Li Xue's remark, Yu Ji replies—

"My little sister's medical bills were on my mind."

Blinking her eyes, Li Xue asks—

"So, you weren't lying when you talked to Chen Lan about that?"

"The situation is a lot more complicated than what I told him, but… Ai, in any case, I'm always having money issues. Mind if I go out early today?"

Lowering his hand, Ye Chen answers—

"Go ahead. In fact, you're all excused for the day. Li Xue, contact Captain Jue for me."

Excusing herself, Yu Ji stands up from the rundown sofa, and heads for the door.

"I'll be leaving as well then."

Doing the same, Qing Yue is the next to go—for she has a report to make, to Nian Tao Tao.

"I'll stay for a while longer, since I've got no places to be for today."

As Li Xue gets on the phone with someone, Long Hua places the whiskey bottle by the self-serving bar before sitting back down.

Occupying the entire sofa, Long Hua closes his eyes—seemingly to sleep.

...…

An hour later—

"Damn, this place looks like a dump…"

A man with black hair and brown eyes—dressed in a white military uniform, walks into the office.

In the man's mouth is a cigar, and judging by his physical appearance, he seems to be around 30 years of age.

"Quit complaining, why not donate some funds to us instead?"

Greeting Jue Yun as such, Ye Chen walks over, and sits down at the sofa, prior to tossing the Ashen River Hall's contact information-filled card onto the table.

"So, this is Carp?"

Sitting down as well, Jue Yun picks up the needleless syringe—that is on the table, and gives a brief glance at the card, before storing it away in his pocket.

"Yup, and I got more interesting news to share."

"That look on your face tells me—it isn't anything decent."

In a tired manner, Ye Chen relays his conversation with Shao Tianming to Jun Yue.

Throughout Ye Chen's single-sided report, Jue Yue's face would get darker and darker.

Eventually, Jue Yun says—

"…I'll be sure to let Colonel Xiang Yu know about this. He'll make sure the others are informed as well."

"Ai, I guess that's one job done. Dammit, why does my office always get stuff like this handed to us?"

Towards Ye Chen's question, Li Xue replies—

"Maybe it's fate?"

"…"

Brushing off Li Xue's remark, Ye Chen walks over to the self-serving bar, and grabs the whiskey bottle with a paper cup.

In the same instance, Long Hua's phone vibrates, forcing him to open his eyes.

"…"

On the screen it displays a new message that reads—

[How long are you going to let your stuff rot here in my garage?]

"...Ah…"

Finally realizing what the Owner is talking about when he mentioned "stuff," Long Hua sits up from the sofa.

On the way out—

"Hm?"

Glancing at Jue Yun, Long Hua feels like he has seen this person from somewhere else. Eventually, he realizes—

(Oh right, the casket case…)

Ignoring the office's mood, Long Hua heads for the exit.

Stored at the Mirrored Moon Café are items—that he had ordered from Nian Yao Yao, but has completely forgot to pick up until now.

...…

Coming into the Mirrored Moon Café through the garage entrance, Long Hua immediately finds the items scattered on the floor. All of them are parts for his bike.

Parking the bike onto an emptied area, Long Hua turns off the engine. Since he is here, he figured that he might as well take a look up front.

"Hm? Where's the Owner?"

"He's been out on a business trip for the past two days."

Replying to his question is Zhou'er—who is dressed in her maid uniform, with her light brown hair tied into a tail.

Hearing this bit of news, Long Hua remarks—

"Yet he somehow still found the time to send me a message—to pick up my stuff. Anyways, are you able to handle the workload?"

Shrugging a shoulder, Zhou'er replies—

"We don't get that many customers to begin with, and it's not like I'm being made to take care of the café during night hours as well. Also, I've got a helper."

"A helper?"

Just as Zhou'er is about to answer, the door of the café opens.

Walking into the café—carrying three boxes with them, is a girl with pale pink hair.

Setting the boxes down on the counter, the girl says—

"That's all of them."

Following these words, the girl turns to Zhou'er, and it is also then—that she meets eyes with Long Hua.

"You?"

Dressed in the attire of a maid—that is the same as Zhou'er's, is none other than Chen Shi Yao Ying.

Raising an eye, Long Hua asks—

"So, this is the place you're working at?"

Nodding her head subtly, Yao Ying answers—

"Nuo'er said—that you worked here as well, so she figured it'd be easier to… Have someone to talk to?"

"I don't come by everyday though…"

"You two already know each other?"

Cutting into the conversation, Zhou'er looks between the two, to which, Long Hua answers—

"Somewhat."

Turning his eyes towards the TV—that is mounted to the far-right corner of the café, Long Hua notices a sliding headline, that talks about the detection of a potential Immortal appearing in the city's wasteland.

As awkward silence loomed between the three—none of them knew just how much they could speak to the others about.

"…"

"Ai…"

Glancing into Yao Ying's clouded eyes, Long Hua raises a sigh, as he turns around, and says—

"Little girl, come over to the garage."

"You two are just going to leave me to handle the front like this?"

"Won't take long."
