Death: Captain Millennium

"Are you awake?"

A woman's voice sounded, and Ishida Uryuu noticed that there was someone in the room.

"So it wasn't a dream?"

He thought it was an illusion before he fell into a coma, but he didn't expect it to be real.

Wait..., how could it be you who saved me! "

When Ishida Uryu saw the face of the woman in front of him clearly, his eyes were full of surprise.

Because the person standing before him was actually the female member of the Soul Hunter Organization, and before this, this woman had been pursuing him relentlessly, intending to kill him. Such a huge contrast made him unable to understand what was going on for a moment.

"Are you curious?"

I saw Soma Yoshino's mouth corners slightly raised, and he spoke with a smile.

Then she gracefully picked up two cups of steaming coffee, walked lightly to Ishida Uryu, and handed one of them to him.

Yulong subconsciously reached out to take the cup, feeling the warmth from the cup wall and the rich aroma of coffee. Without hesitation, he tilted his head back and took a big sip of the warm coffee.

A warm current flowed down his throat and into his stomach, bringing a warm and comfortable feeling. At the same time, his originally somewhat confused mind became much clearer.

"Aren't you afraid that I might poison it?"

Soma Yoshino suddenly asked, a hint of curiosity and amusement in her eyes. For someone who had once been hunted by her, drinking something offered to her without any precautions was truly bizarre. Was this person mentally ill, or was he simply being inexplicably trusting?

"Since you saved me, I believe you won't kill me in this way."

Yu Long spoke expressionlessly, his stern face as if covered by a thousand-year-old ice, making it difficult to glimpse his true inner thoughts. Although the other party had just pulled him back from the brink of death, he showed no gratitude towards his savior.

"Do you really believe it?"

Soma Yoshino murmured softly, her thoughts drifting back to the past. The feeling of being trusted seemed too distant to her. Ever since joining Kariya Gami's organization, deception and scheming had become the main theme of her life. Only exploitation and betrayal remained between people, and the word "trust" was as faint and unfamiliar as a candle in the wind.

"Why did you save me?"

Soma Yoshino, who was immersed in his memories, was suddenly interrupted by Ishida Uryu's blunt words. Ishida Uryu's eyes, as deep as a pool of water, stared at the woman in front of him, as if he wanted to see through her true intentions through her indifferent appearance.

"I said... I saw loneliness in your eyes, and that loneliness resonated with me. Do you believe it?"

Facing Ishida Uryu's question, Soma Yoshino slowly raised her head and her eyes met his. After a moment's silence, she answered in a low, almost hoarse voice, her words filled with endless sorrow.

Ishida Uryu remained silent, his eyes quickly scanning the room. The room was extremely simple, consisting of a bed, a table, and a chair. Clearly, this was a single room.

Such a simple environment made Yulong wonder, could it be that this woman didn't live with other soul hunters?

"Boom...boom...boom..."

Just as he was thinking secretly, a heavy and melodious bell suddenly rang out. It was the time signal from Big Ben outside the room. This sudden bell interrupted Yulong's thoughts and brought him back to reality.

Recalling the reason the woman had given for saving him, Yu Long felt it was both absurd and ridiculous, yet also somewhat truthful. It was truly unbelievable that she had saved his life without hesitation for such a seemingly insignificant reason.

"A long time ago, I also lived with my friends. However, as time passed..."

At that moment, Soma Yoshino, who had been observing Uryū's movements, seemed to see through his inner thoughts. She slowly walked to the window, staring silently at the bustling street outside, and then spoke to herself.

"This is truly a contradictory statement! You, who have always hated the passage of time, would actually choose to live in a clock tower that symbolizes the passage of time."

After Ishida Uryu listened quietly to the story told by Soma Yoshino, he felt that Soma Yoshino did not really hate time itself, but had been struggling to find a reason to support himself to continue living.

After all, as soul hunters, they possess the characteristics of immortality. Coupled with the influence of many complex external factors, this woman feels extremely confused and bewildered about her future life path.

Ishida Uryu, who has always been known for his rationality, unexpectedly developed a deep resonance with Soma Yoshino at this moment.

Indeed! Although as a Quincy, he doesn't have the same long and endless lifespan as the Soul Hunters, he also faces loneliness and solitude.

The tribe he belonged to was now almost extinct, most of the tribe members had died tragically, even his beloved mother had her precious life ruthlessly taken away by the Quincy ancestor he believed in. What made him even more heartbroken was that the grandfather who loved him so much also died in Hueco Mundo indirectly because of the God of Death.

"Why are you chasing us?"

Although Ishida Uryu learned from Urahara Kisuke that soul hunters were very fond of the souls of people with spiritual powers, this reason was not enough to send so many people to hunt them down.

"Our goal is not to kill you, but to use your predicament to lure Soul Society into action. Killing those Shinigami is our goal."

Soma Yoshino spoke without reservation, leaving Uryū stunned. Is this really okay? Aren't you afraid that he'll notify Soul Society and bring people over to annihilate these Soul Hunters?

"Alright! Quincy kid, I suddenly found a goal that I can continue to live for."

Without waiting for Yulong to make any move, Soma Yoshino came over and gave him a big hug. After the hug, she turned around without hesitation and left the room quickly with brisk steps, leaving Yulong standing there in a daze, at a loss.

At this moment, Yulong's heart was already in turmoil. After all, he had always been a pure and innocent virgin! From childhood to adulthood, apart from his mother, he had hardly ever had such intimate contact with other women. Somanoyoshi's passionate embrace had been like a storm to him, instantly turning his calm heart upside down.

Yulong felt a burning sensation on his face, and his heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably. He stared blankly at the direction Soma Yoshino had left, the scene just now constantly replaying in his mind, and he couldn't recover for a long time...

It was this hug that brought about an unspeakable intersection between people from two different worlds!
