Chapter 126 The Male Shrine of Aizu Castle

Aizu Castle Cemetery added 17,534 lines of death information, which is the sum of all residents who died in the rat wave.

Gravekeeper Izumi Yamazaki and his family have dedicated generations to the profession, remembering as many dead people as possible in the city.

Like the Suzuki family who guarded the sea monsters, the Yamazaki family also had a glorious tradition on the ground, but declined due to the changes of the times, and eventually moved to the underground city. The Yamazaki family enshrines an ancient book. According to the teachings of their ancestors, they are only qualified to protect it and are not allowed to read it. They must wait for the prophesied "wizard" to come and take away the ancient book.

Calculated according to the time, the person who took away the ancient book will come soon.

Izumi Yamazaki is 65 years old this year and is the oldest old man in the city. He knows that the mortality rate in Aizu City is 4.75% per year. On average, 39 people die every day from different forms of disasters such as violent injuries, malnutrition, and mental breakdown. Next to the cemetery , he built a simple two-story self-built house.

The so-called cemetery itself is a set of server clusters that collect and update death information in real time. It is divided into two layers. The inner layer is a large-scale device for storing files. Like the collection of books in ancient monasteries, file disks with different death dates are stacked staggered.

The outer layer looks like an Internet cafe, and the terminals are placed side by side. There are 780,000 death information available for query, which is the sum of all deaths since the opening of Aizu Castle.

Whenever people miss their dead relatives, they will visit the Aizu Castle Cemetery and look for the death information of their loved ones on the outer terminal. If they want to check the files, they have to pay 50 funds to maintain the operation of the server.

Excluding the cost of maintaining the server room, Izumi Yamazaki saves about 200,000 yuan a year.

He is also a lonely person. He sympathizes with the orphans of the dead who live on the street, so he uses these funds for children, and builds an underground school building next to his small building. Now he has gathered 600 children, divided into 6 grades, with a total of 600 children. 20 classes.

The cemetery, the gravekeeper's house and the cemetery primary school were lined up in this order. He hoped that the ringing of the school building's bell would not disturb the dead souls who were sleeping in the form of data.

Most of the lessons are taught by robots, with Izumi Yamazaki teaching geography.

He loves to travel and has been to many places in the world when he was young.

Izumi Yamazaki has seen the coconuts in the Taiya Islands, the six-legged snow bears in the Great North, the vast rice fields in Baixiangzhou, and the magnificent Xin'an Prefecture in the Xia area. According to the concept of "infinite urbanization", every inch of the soil has been covered. Instead of cement and steel, in Xin'an Prefecture, there is no transition between cities. Highways and waterways are like rulers in the city, and buildings are connected to buildings, which makes him unable to see.

The skies above Xin'an Mansion are resort hotels, giant buildings and luxury apartments that go straight into the sky. The closer to the ground in the traditional sense, the more complicated the road conditions. He once got lost in the small stalls selling steamed buns and fire between the 5th and 6th floors among. Whenever I think about how big the world is, Izumi Yamazaki feels small.

Since he never saved any money, Izumi Yamazaki returned to the family after finishing his youthful debauchery, took over the work of grave keeper, and waited for the arrival of the book fetching wizard.

There is no night in Aizu City, and he will return to the cemetery to rest when the evening bell rings.

He is a strict teacher. He is not rare to download ready-made lesson plans from the Internet, and tends to prepare lessons by himself. He also often stays up late at night to take care of the headaches and brain problems of orphans, and personally sends them to the automatic doctor on the other side of the street to prevent them from being killed. Sneaky human traffickers and perverts snatch away.

The cemetery is located at the edge of Huicheng District, close to the underground natural rock wall. Even rats are not uncommon to attack here, which makes Izumi Yamazaki feel lucky.

This day, he went to class very late, and the evening clock struck three times before he returned to his hut. From here, he could see the cemetery of the computer room downstairs, and every screen was glowing with a scorching blue light.

Izumi Yamazaki took off his shoes and walked into the entrance.

On the wall is a group photo of their family. In the photo, the wife and daughter are all smiling sweetly, but Izumi Yamazaki is the only one with a straight face. They were all young at that time, which made the old gravekeeper feel absent-minded for a moment. His wife was a company employee, she got together less and left more, and passed away early. My daughter disappeared on the way home from school when she was 17 years old. She spent 110,000 yuan to hire someone, and it took a month to find her. In the organ harvesting den, she died of emptying out her internal organs.

Izumi Yamazaki only felt that he was timid, and he didn't go with them at the first time, so he lived with shamelessness to this day. But he has to live until the ancient family books are taken away, and the responsibility inherited from the ancestors is not over.

The only consolation is a girl he adopted from the elementary school in the cemetery eight years ago. She looks very similar to Izumi Yamazaki's dead daughter. He named her Yuko Yamazaki, who is also 17 years old this year.

Yuko was very beautiful and energetic, and he felt as if his daughter had come back to him again. He regarded Yuko as his own, and was going to pass on the duty of grave keeper to her.

He heard a strange movement from the living room, like a cow rumbling inside, and a light was on in the room.

After opening the door, he saw Yuko was pressed on the tatami, a giant man with disheveled hair moved his back to Izumi Yamazaki, Yuko remained silent and bled a lot.

Izumi Yamazaki's legs went limp, and he fell back tremblingly.

Hearing the movement, the giant got up from Yuko, pushed her lifeless body aside, let out a comfortable grunt, fastened his belt, and turned to Izumi Yamazaki.

He is about 2 meters tall and wears an old-fashioned linen corset embroidered with light blue star spots and purple rings, and a dark brown leather trench coat, which is new this year.

"The book." He grabbed the wand on the kotatsu and issued a short command to Izumi Yamazaki, "Give me the book."

"Book? No, no..." Izumi Yamazaki's brain went blank, he lay backward on the ground, and crawled backward, "Book..."

"Where is the book?" The giant man stepped on the side of Izumi Yamazaki, his eyes swept around the room, "She doesn't know anything."

"You... what did you do..." Izumi Yamazaki raised his head, hoping that what he saw just now was just a hallucination, but Yuko was still lying like that, with many bruises and black blood sticking to his legs.

Why? A jerky feeling piled up in Yamazaki Izumi's throat. Yuko?

"You don't know how far I have traveled for this matter. I deserve it." The giant man said, "Give me the book now, and your family will no longer have to protect this secret."

Seeing Izumi Yamazaki's complex expression of fear, grief, and disappointment, the giant man knew that he could no longer hear any information from him.

The giant man shook his ebony wand and spoke the wizard spell, a pale silver phantom covered Izumi's head, the giant man began to peek into his memory, and Izumi Yamazaki's expression became blank.

Many of the wizard's powers are aimed at the development of witches, and the spells of the spiritual perspective series are one of them. Any witch's secrets can't be hidden in the torture of the wizard, so that they can understand the information that the witch has mastered first.

It is even more effective when used on ordinary people. Their thoughts are extremely clear, like flipping through a children's book.

Not bad... not bad... The giant man nodded slightly, now he has counted them all.

When the witch was powerful, the wizards were almost extinct, so the surviving wizards from all over the place chose to write what they had learned all their lives into books and entrusted various trustworthy mortal families to protect them. Collection of inheritance books.

There are 10 such inheritances, representing 10 very different wizard systems.

The witch is gone, they wanted to collect all the collections, and a "corporate alliance" across the world emerged. The wizards knew that once their skills fell into the hands of the alliance, they would inevitably become a new tool for the company to control the witch , no freedom at all, so they doubly hide their whereabouts and stay away from civilized society.

Now the good times are coming, the "corporate alliance" that controls the world has collapsed, and the "mistake crisis" has completely dismantled it, and the giant corporations have officially divided the world. In this chaos, the masquerading wizards announced that the era of revival has come , began to recycle these ancient books and reshape the world of wizards.

After checking Izumi Yamazaki's mind, the giant man was satisfied and let the old man faint.

He found the wall where Izumi Yamazaki's family photo was hung, threw the photo on the ground, opened an old-fashioned safe according to the password he found, took out an extremely thick book with a black cover, and hid it inside the coat.

What to do next? What if someone digs out their brains and picks out their memories, and finally reveals the wizard's whereabouts. The company has this kind of technology.

The efforts of their generations cannot be wasted, and the dedication of the guardian family must not be wasted.

Burn them.

He walked to the living room and found a stack of documents in the cabinet, which seemed to be the medical records, health reports and medical examination results of a group of children. He lit these files with a lighter, and the flame spread quickly.

The self-built houses of the tomb guards are very simple in terms of fire resistance. After being ignited, the flames scurry across the ground like poisonous snakes. The giant walked around the house twice more, setting fire to the curtains, the wardrobe, and every door.

After the body is burned, the company cannot extract information.

The fire was too strong, and the house would be completely scorched soon. The wizard used the spell to disappear without a trace, making himself disappear out of thin air, and took the spell book away.

The inheritance of the wizard was successfully recovered.

Hours passed after this.

In the rat lane, the gray fur rat sentinel leads Miying in the front.

It looked back worriedly from time to time, and the Rat Sentinel never thought that a human would use the Rat-Mouse communicator to communicate with them.

"Don't be afraid, you are a partner of justice," Miying bent forward and crawled forward, "And I am the savior of the shadow." This is also an anime line, which has been learned by Miying and incorporated into her corpus.

"Chichi..." The mouse sentinel had no idea about this.

Climbing to the exit of the rat passage, the rat sentry sat on the edge of the ventilation duct, sniffing outside, and it smelled a burning smell. The huge rotating fan on the top blows its hair, and Miying needs to lie on the ground to avoid being cut by the fan blades. She lowers her head and sees that the gravekeeper's street has been razed to the ground by the fire.

What a terrible fire...

"Shanqiquan House has been burned down." Miying communicated to Xu Yang, transmitting the information captured by her camera to him, "There is also a nearby cemetery and a school building, all of which have been burnt down."

Xu Yang received the scene report, the scene was shocking, the fire burned for a long time, and everything was reduced to ashes. The Aizu Castle Cemetery stores death information in the form of a computer room. Now the entire server cluster has been burned to the ground. Aizu Castle has lost its most important historical records, and countless people have lost their last traces.

"...Go to the scene to find clues." Xu Yang said, "Find out who set the fire."
