21st Century Necromancer

Chapter 111 Man Does Not Know, God Knows (Seeking Recommendations, Seeking Favorites)

As the cemetery staff sealed Saegusa Mikie's grave completely, Chen Yu and Misumi Meiqin, along with others, offered their tributes once more. Saegusa Mikie's funeral came to an end, and with that, her final journey in this world was complete.

"Xiao Sanmao, rest in peace! I will keep our promise, I will definitely go! I will definitely go to see the White Night!" Hana-san stood in front of Saegusa Mikie's tombstone, staring at the photo on it, and prayed earnestly.

Watching Hana-san pray so sincerely, Chen Yu couldn't help but let out a slight chuckle. She probably had no idea that Saegusa Mikie could actually hear what she was saying.

Chen Yu did not take back the Black Crystal, but instead buried it together with Saegusa Mikie's ashes.

Although this might give rise to a powerful ghost... no, according to the "Multiverse Universal Necromancy Spell Compendium," it should be referred to as a Grudge Spirit, Chen Yu obviously would not let Saegusa Mikie become the kind of Grudge Spirit that loses its reason and then goes on a killing spree.

After all, her own fixation was merely wanting to see the White Night with her friends, and the resentment from being murdered had already dissipated with the punishment of the murderer. Hence, it is unlikely to be too greatly affected, and at most, it might become a strong spiritual body.

But this is the least of a Necromancer's concerns, no matter how powerful the Grudge Spirits... even if they evolve into Fierce Spirits or Evil Spirits, to Chen Yu, it's just a matter of whether they can be crushed easily or require a bit more effort.

"Doctor Chen, thank you! If it weren't for you, Xiao Sanmao couldn't have been laid to rest so peacefully, I'm truly extremely grateful," Hana-san, having finished her prayers, walked up to Chen Yu, bowed deeply to him, and expressed her heartfelt thanks. Stay tuned with empire

"It's just a small thing, no need to be so polite," Chen Yu said nonchalantly, shaking his head. He then smiled and added, "I've heard about your situation. Since you've promised to see the White Night together, take the opportunity to go. It's your wish, and also Miss Saegusa Mikie's."

"I definitely will," Hana-san nodded vigorously.

"This is the inescapable reality you face, even if you can delay it for now, you cannot do so forever," Audis, sensing Chen Yu's inner thoughts, spoke earnestly and sternly, trying to persuade him.

Though just a pet cat, Audis, housing a fragment of Chen Yu's soul, was in a sense his other half. The questions Audis posed to Chen Yu were also reflections of his innermost thoughts.

"When the time is right, I'll tell her," Chen Yu ultimately decided not to resolve the matter immediately, choosing instead to wait for the right moment: "For now, focus on the task at hand, you stay here and watch the house."

Having said that, Chen Yu put on his jacket and shoes and left the house.

Watching Chen Yu leave, Audis's feline eyes followed his retreating figure with a complex look: "When the right time comes, when will it ever be the right time?"

Though Chen Yu couldn't hear Audis's voice after stepping out, he could still feel Audis's thoughts through their soul connection. Standing outside, he looked up at the sky, which was void of the moon and shrouded in darkness.

"When she's willing to marry me, to spend her life with me," Chen Yu seemed to be telling Audis, as well as murmuring to himself, then he walked towards the stairs below.

Crossing the street and following the familiar path, Chen Yu once again arrived at Kawakami Cemetery.

Passing through rows of tombstones, he returned to the place he had visited earlier that day, a newly erected grave, in front of Saegusa Kyoko's tombstone.

"Come out, I'm taking you to someone who knows where the dead should go," Chen Yu knocked on the tombstone's base, and Saegusa Mikie's spiritual body crawled out from the ground.

"Doctor Chen, thank you!" After climbing out of the ground, Saegusa Mikie bowed deeply to express her gratitude before asking, "May I ask where we are going? Who knows what happens to people after they die?"

"There," Chen Yu pointed toward the small shrine halfway up the hill: "Humans do not know, but the gods do."
