MM Racing Chapter 1163 Capitano's Fake Death Funeral
Chapter 1163 Capitano's Fake Death Funeral
Time flies, and two days have passed in the blink of an eye.
As planned, Capitano's funeral was held as scheduled on this day, and the location was exactly the beach where he "died in battle".
A lot of people gathered at the beach early in the morning.
Capitano's men spontaneously came to commemorate the "great and brave warrior" in their hearts.
Shao Yun also attended the funeral as promised.
After all, you have to perform well to avoid revealing any flaws.
He rode his Andalusian horse "Rou" slowly to the funeral scene.
As soon as he got off his horse, Shao Yun couldn't help but look at the surrounding arrangements.
To be honest, the scale of this funeral was much simpler than he had imagined.
There was no solemn coffin. After all, everyone "knew" that Capitano was "torn to pieces" in the battle.
A large photo frame was placed on an open space by the sea. In the frame was a photo of Capitano wearing an executive uniform. Above the photo was a simple sunshade pavilion to block the scorching sun on the seaside.
There were a few bouquets of flowers around the pavilion, but no other decorations.
This is the scene of commemorating the "great warrior".
Shao Yun dismounted and walked slowly towards the crowd.
He quickly observed the people who came to mourn, most of whom were Capitano's men, and he stopped only when his eyes swept over a familiar figure.
Ian Shan is here too.
Shao Yun walked forward, patted Yi Anshan's shoulder gently, and asked, "Yi Anshan, you're here too. By the way, isn't Mavica here?"
When Yi Anshan heard the voice, she turned around and saw that it was Shao Yun. A complicated expression appeared on her face and she shook her head slightly.
"Oh, Mavica has been saying she has something to do these past two days and hasn't left the office. She even has her meals delivered to her."
After a pause, Ian Shan added:
"We originally thought we could prepare a celebration party for you soon, but with Mavica's condition, the celebration party will have to be put on hold for now."
After hearing this, Shao Yun understood instantly.
Mavica didn't have anything to do. It was obvious that she was unable to get over the hurdle in her heart that night and was hiding in her room being "emo".
He could imagine Mavica staying alone in the room, silently digesting her loss and sadness.
Afterwards, Shao Yun temporarily shifted his attention away from Mavica's affairs and focused on the funeral in front of him.
"We'll talk about the celebration banquet later. Let's take care of the funeral first."
"By the way, what's the funeral process like now? It seems like there's nothing else going on besides laying flowers. Isn't it a bit too quiet?"
He glanced at the sparse arrangement on the seashore, and recalled the scene of the funeral at Liyue's Hall of the Dead, and couldn't help but casually suggested:
"Should I invite Liyue's Hall of Rebirth over? At least we can have a professional preside over the ceremony and add to the atmosphere."
"Look at it now. I always feel that the scene is a bit monotonous and lacks the sense of ritual of remembrance."
Yi Anshan followed Shao Yun's gaze towards the funeral scene, her eyes still complicated, her tone filled with regret, yet also full of respect:
"Well, the process is going pretty smoothly so far. It's mainly just for people to come and lay flowers and pay their respects."
"In fact, the reason for this arrangement is that Mr. Capitano left a will before his death, which explicitly requested that his funeral be kept simple and not extravagant."
"Since we want to commemorate this great warrior, we naturally have to respect his wishes. So, with the highest regard for him, we have simply arranged the scene so that everyone can express their grief."
After listening to this, Shao Yun felt that the simple funeral was more in line with the character of this "warrior", so he no longer worried about the sense of ceremony.
At this moment, Yi Anshan seemed to suddenly remember something. She glanced around Shao Yun and found that he was the only one there. She couldn't help but ask curiously:
"By the way, Shao Yun, where are Ying and Paimeng?"
Shao Yun shook his head. These two had another very important matter to attend to today.
"The two of them sent Jade back to Xumi today. They should be almost at the Echo Sons tribe now..."
When Yi Anshan heard that they were going to send Jade home, an understanding look appeared on her face.
"Oh, I see... Sending a friend home is indeed very important."
Just as Shao Yun and Yi Anshan were looking at the funeral scene and talking in low voices, a man in the Fatui uniform in the crowd noticed Shao Yun's figure.
He hesitated for a few seconds, then walked over quickly and stopped in front of Shao Yun. With a complicated yet respectful look, he said:
"You are... the one who brings peace to the captain."
The title of "the one who brings peace to the captain" is not friendly, but it is not hostile either.
Shao Yun looked at the Fatui who walked up to him.
He looked the other person up and down, feeling confused... Who is this person?
Normally, most Fatui wear various masks that cover most of their faces. Unless you are very familiar with them, it is impossible to recognize who is who.
For example, there's the fat man who loves raspberries, the big debt handler who's dating Ms. Hidden Mirror... and of course, there's Ms. Katarina from the Abyss.
Although the man in front of him was not wearing a mask and revealed a sharp-edged face, Shao Yun had no impression of him.
So, Shao Yun asked frankly, "Who are you?"
When the man heard Shao Yun's question, he smiled friendly and took the initiative to introduce himself.
"I'm the captain's subordinate and have been working with him. You can just call me 'Rocheyev'."
"I saw you from afar on the battlefield before, but the situation was chaotic at that time and I couldn't say hello to you."
Shao Yun nodded and silently memorized the name "Rochev" in his heart.
He could sense that the other party had no ill intentions, so he responded in the same friendly manner:
"Hello, Rocheyev. I hope you don't mind coming to Capitano's funeral today."
Although he knew that this funeral was just a "show", Shao Yun still maintained basic courtesy when facing Capitano's former subordinates.
The feelings these people have for Capitano are real.
When Rocheyev heard this, the smile on his face faded, and he said sincerely:
"To be honest, people's opinions of you are indeed very complicated."
"After all, you were the one who ended the captain's life with your own hands. Many of our brothers still can't fully accept this fact."
"But the captain's will clearly forbade us from avenging him. He also said, 'It is a blessing to die at the end of the war and witness the hope of peace with your own eyes.'"
"The captain has said so. As subordinates, we cannot go against his wishes, no matter how unwilling we are. Moreover..."
Rocheyev looked at Shao Yun, his tone showing more respect for the strong.
"Moreover, the fact that you were able to defeat the captain head-on on the battlefield is enough to prove that your strength far exceeds that of ordinary people."
"We are under the captain's instruction, but we also respect the truly strong, so we can't hate you."
After hearing Rocheyev's words, Shao Yun was stunned for a moment, then blinked lightly and commented simply, "Not bad... Capitano is indeed a very insightful person."
Following Shao Yun's words, Rocheyev turned his gaze to the small pavilion not far away where Capitano's portrait was placed.
"Although the captain didn't even have his body left, and we could only send him off with a photo, but... we really miss him."
"He is not only our captain, but also our family member. Following him over the years has enabled us to survive on the battlefield time and time again."
Shao Yun looked at Rocheyev's genuine expression...
He knew that Capitano was not dead at all, and this "missing" was a misunderstanding at the root, but he could not say it, and did not dare to say it.
So, he could only look at the portrait and said meaningfully: "I...he was indeed a good person."
……
Shao Yun looked at Rochev's sad face beside him, and glanced at the solemn expressions of the Fatui around him. He knew in his heart that "the show must be done to the fullest."
He walked slowly towards the small pavilion where Capitano's portrait was placed, stood in front of the portrait and paid tribute.
Although he knew that Capitano was only faking his death and might be hiding somewhere observing the funeral, it was still necessary to pretend in order to put a perfect end to this "dead end".
But this scene instantly caused quite a commotion in the eyes of the fools present.
The people, who had already less hostility towards Shao Yun because of Capitano's will, felt their complicated emotions fade a little when they saw how "respectful" he was to their captain.
Someone in the crowd suggested, "Since this gentleman is the captain's recognized opponent, why not have him offer the captain's final prayers?"
As soon as these words came out, they were immediately echoed by other fools:
"That's right! He will definitely be happy to have the person who defeated him send him off for the last time!"
"Please pray for the captain!"
For a moment, all eyes were focused on Shao Yun.
Shao Yun froze in place. He had never expected that he would be forced to do something when he was just pretending.
He subconsciously recalled the scene when he was providing hospice care to Kujo Sara, but at that time he was actually facing the deceased and his state of mind was completely different. Now, praying to a photo of a person who was pretending to be dead always felt a bit absurd.
Just when he was at a loss and didn't know how to deal with it, he suddenly thought of the dream he had a few days ago.
The yellowed paper he saw on the bedside table was the eulogy that the "fake" Gan Yu had said.
He didn't have time to take a closer look at it at the time and just stuffed it into his backpack. He didn't expect that it would come in handy at this moment.
Then Shao Yun slowly opened his mouth in front of everyone and read the words on the paper.
"We gather here today to bid our final farewell and pray for our beloved Capitano."
"A bloodthirsty man hates the blameless, but the upright seeks his life."
"Today, we can bear witness to Capitano. He was a man of integrity, integrity, and integrity."
“There was no deceit or darkness in his life; he walked justly and spoke the truth; his heart was full of mercy and his hands did good works.”
“He is not one who hides, but one who stands in the light; not one who retreats, but one who stands forth.”
"He is brave and never retreats in times of danger; he is resolute and never hesitates in making decisions."
"A complete man, a complete friend, a complete brother. He did nothing wrong, not because he didn't have the opportunity, but because he chose not to.
"He was upright not because he didn't face the darkness, but because he refused to walk with it."
"Unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground, it remains alone; but if it does, it produces many seeds."
"Today, the grain of wheat, Capitano, fell into the ground."
“We mourn, but not despair; we weep, but do not lose hope.”
"Because we know the fruits of his deeds: integrity, courage, faithfulness, and love. These have been sown among us, among his friends, and in every life he has touched."
“May we inherit his spirit and continue to walk the righteous path he walked; may we live out his example and make the world brighter because of him;”
"We are not losing him, but we are temporarily separated. In a place without tears, without war, without lies, without farewells."
“There he will run and not be weary, he will walk and not faint; there he will live forever in light, just as he has lived here.”
"May his presence and spirit be with us all, now and forever."
……
In the kingdom of the Night God.
Capitano was observing his own funeral through a mirror formed by the clairvoyant mist provided by the Night God.
He looked at the eulogy Shao Yun gave him...
"I did hear that he seemed to have a cooperative relationship with Liyue Wangsheng Hall, but I never knew he was also good at hosting funerals..."
Ye Shen's voice replied: "It feels good..."
