[Reaper Lanping] Dark River

With a serious profile, a gentle voice, and outwardly speaking, Aizen is undoubtedly a good man from any angle.

It stands to reason that the grievances between them should have been settled from the moment Aizen was defeated and imprisoned in Wujian.Although irritable as Hiyori still hates Aizen when he talks about Aizen, he can understand it, because Hiyori is that kind of girl; although Kensai looks calm when talking about Aizen, there is still murder in his tone. meaning.Lisa, who was a little more relieved, although there was no special ups and downs when talking about Aizen, but when they bumped into Lisa who came back from buying comics and novels before they left, he still saw a faint look in Lisa's eyes. disgusted.

And what about myself?I can't say I hate him, because I know that he is such a person; I can't say I hate him, seeing him fail in the end and returning to Jinglingting, Aizen has suffered the most terrible punishment that can make normal people go crazy-now everything should pass Now, Hirako Mako is not a man who is obsessed with the past and can't extricate himself from it.

Maybe it should be summed up as annoying him; it has nothing to do with his deeds, but simply hates such a person, there is nothing worth worrying about or thinking about.

It's just that the smile under the light is the most suitable for that night, the most suitable for that dream, but it is very different from the Aizen Soyousuke he hates.

He turned his head to look at the culprit who disturbed him, perhaps because Aizen was still disturbed by his spiritual pressure, so even though he was deeply asleep, he frowned and his face was pale.He carefully put away the spiritual pressure, observed for a while, but found no signs of Aizen's improvement.Well, it will be fine in a while, he took the cell phone next to his pillow and found that it was early morning.

It's really rare, Aizen who can sleep like hell.

"Hey, wake up, Aizen!" He called him casually, with a long ending, just like before, but it was a little blunt.Aizen didn't wake up, on the contrary, he shrank under the quilt, only showing his brown hair, and a strand of brown hair that would hang down after he changed his hairstyle.

Aizen still didn't wake up, it was too abnormal.Feeling something was wrong, Hirako pushed Aizen a few times: "Hey! You bastard! How long are you going to sleep!"

Unexpectedly, when he was pushing, his hand passed directly through Aizen's shoulder for the second time.

Now the big devil is drinking black tea.Perhaps it was because he was bored of drinking green tea in Jinglingting. During the few days when Hirako and Aizen got along, he found that Aizen would drink green tea from Urahara store while maintaining his politeness; besides, there was black tea in his cupboard. The tea set is a Western tea set, and the drink I usually drink outside is also black tea.At this stall where his life was in danger, he picked up the teacup, first sniffed it for a while, as if feeling the aroma of the tea, then drank it, and finally put it back on the table.

"You haven't used Yike all this time, have you?" Urahara Kisuke sat across from him and asked him.

Aizen nodded: "Ah, yes...you don't need Yikui to be seen by humans, so I didn't think about it."

Hirako looked at Ichigo in bewilderment, Ichigo looked at Yoruichi, Yoruichi sighed, and finally looked at Urahara.After the two smart people in the room looked at each other, Kisuke Urahara, who was more reliable, spoke.

"Aizen's body is originally composed of a high concentration of spirit particles. This concentration has surpassed Shinigami and Hollow, so it can be materialized in this world and be seen by humans." He took out a whiteboard and drew instructions on it. Erase it, and draw a very abstract human body with a small circle in the middle.

Aizen's eyebrows twitched, his eyes moved away from the distorted portrait, and he looked down at the black tea cup.

"But ~ now Aizen's spiritual power has been emptied! And there is no Bengyu to renew his life—" Urahara painted out the small dots in the middle with a few strokes, and drew a knife with long legs and ran away Stick figure, "His body shaped by high-concentration spiritual particles requires a lot of spiritual support, but now he has no spiritual power, and every day with the captain-level death—"

He drew a head portrait of his younger sister with a simple pen, and marked 50% off next to it: "Although it is only half of it, Aizen radiates spiritual power all the time to fight against his spiritual pressure, causing the phenomenon that even the body cannot maintain it. And now he has no collapse jade, no way to continue his body transformation, and he can't degenerate, so if we can't find his sword and his spiritual power as soon as possible, he will disappear in a few days, above!"

Hirako Mako didn't care about the big head portrait of herself with slanted eyes, but was the first to ask: "What if we're not beside him?"

"That doesn't work, his body will collapse whether we are there or not, it's just a matter of time - that's why he will find us in advance, because it is very difficult to do things after losing a lot of spiritual power, isn't it Aizen-kun?"

Aizen smiled calmly and nodded: "Although it doesn't matter if it disappears like this, after all, my goal has been achieved..."

Kurosaki Ichigo rubbed his arms, feeling cold all over: "Don't look at me, look at me..."

"...I can't find interesting things even if I'm alive now. If I have to say the reason why I don't want to disappear, I probably feel regretful, because maybe there will be some goals worth challenging in the future." Aizen finished adding, giving an example Cup gestured to Urahara, "Compared to you, you will understand me better."

Urahara nodded, and laughed easily with Aizen: "Oh, I don't understand, but if Jing Lingting can't catch the fugitives, their nerves will be broken, you are too cunning—— "

"Is there any way to delay his disappearance?" Hirako stood behind Aizen, pressed Aizen's shoulder, and looked at Kisuke Urahara.As if hearing something unbelievable, Aizen was a little surprised, and looked back at Hirako.Hirako Mako didn't have any expression on her face, she just asked the simplest question, nothing more.

This question caught the captain of the former twelfth squad, he rubbed his chin, lost in thought.

Kurosaki Ichigo raised his hand next to him: "How about inserting a knife into my body like Rukia did? Can't you give me the spiritual power?"

Hearing this, both Aizen and Urahara looked at him like idiots.Ichigo put down his hands awkwardly, and he also remembered that it was not because of Rukia, but because of the spiritual power in his body, and the power of Hollow and Quincy, so that he could become Shinigami smoothly...

"Maybe it's okay?" Lan Ran touched his chin, "I can't find a knife now, my body can last up to two days, maybe it will work if I try."

Among the people present, only Urahara Hirako and Ichigo had knives. Ichigo hesitated to turn into a god of death, but was stopped by Urahara: "Your strength is too complicated. If you stab Aizen to death, you will be meritorious." .”

"Hey, what is meritorious service!" Ichigo's mouth turned into a classic inverted triangle shape, "I just can't just watch him die!"

Urahara waved his hand, and pulled out Hong Ji from the crutch he was carrying: "Why don't we try it now?"

Ichigo was still worried about this dangerous experiment, but Aizen nodded: "It's okay, let's try, but be careful, if I die, my sword may run away, please be careful Urahara-kun."

He felt Mako Hirako's hand on his shoulder tighten.This is the second time he woke up this morning and looked up at Pingzi: "Stay away, Mako Pingzi, your Reiatsu is a kind of disturbance to me."

The point of Urahara's sword touched Lan Ran's chest, which happened to be the place where he put Bengyu before.

"Then shall we start?" Urahara Kisuke took off his green and white striped hat, looked at Aizen seriously: "Aizen-kun, it might hurt a little."

Ye Yi was leaning on the side, smacking his mouth meaningfully.

The sword went deep into the fabric, Aizen was wearing a turtleneck sweater, Hirako standing behind Aizen couldn't see what was going on in front of him, he just leaned his back against the wall, put his weight on one leg, the other leg was bent, and the heel of his shoe was in contact with the wall .

"Miss Yoruichi, Mr. Kurosaki, Captain Hirako, you all go out first." Urahara said, "I need to carefully control the transmission of spiritual power, there are too many spiritual pressures around right now."

All three nodded and went out, leaving Aizen and Urahara inside.Yoruichi closed the door casually, looked at Hirako, then at Ichigo.

"Ichigo, can you help me buy some water?" Ye Yi smiled at Ichigo, "I didn't bring any money, please!"

I'm not a child, so this way of dismissing others is too clumsy!Kurosaki Ichigo nodded, and left while making complaints. He didn't say anything because he would be beaten by Yeichi if he said it, and his physical skills were far inferior to hers.

Apparently Hirako thought the same way, he glanced at Yeyi with a pair of dead fish eyes, and then focused on studying the wallpaper pattern on the wall of the hotel corridor.

"Pingzi, do you still hate Aizen?" She asked directly.No amount of pleasantries is useless, and it's not what she is good at.Her character is like a cat, for example, when she is curious, she must want to find out what is going on.

"...Maybe, I don't know too well."

Use a tone that you're not sure about yourself.

The three drank all the drinks Ichigo bought outside the door, and the remaining two bottles were for Urahara and Aizen.Ichigo, who may be the only one of the five people with relatively normal three views, believes that anyway, Aizen was imprisoned (although he escaped after being released from prison), and he was still standing when the Star Crusaders attacked the world of souls. The Grim Reaper did not fall to the Quincy, and now he is a fugitive who lost his knife, facing a crisis of survival... Anyway, he can't do it if he just watched Aizen die like this.Hirako was still laughing at his childishness after hearing this, and Ichigo's way of jumping and being unable to refute managed to please Yoruichi who was watching.

The door behind him opened, and what came out was Urahara, who was constantly fanning his hat with sweat on his forehead, and stretched out a hand: "Can I have a bottle of water?"

Ye gave some water to Urahara, and Urahara wiped his mouth after opening half of the bottle and explained the situation: "He is in a stable condition at the moment, Hirako, you have to control your Reiatsu and not stimulate him...don't really kill him, If his knife goes berserk, it might be a catastrophe for the whole of Kyoto."

"What will happen?" Ichigo turned his head sharply, eyes widening.

"Yesterday we went to see that river, and it will absorb the spiritual power of the gods of death and gods around... If it is not satisfied, it will sooner or later absorb human souls." Urahara was serious for a few seconds, and then unfolded the sign With an unscrupulous smile, "It's okay, relax, Ichigo, the knife will be found!"

Hirako's eyes lingered on the ceiling, door panel and carpet, and finally asked Urahara: "You still let me stay in the same room with him?"

"Now I don't have enough spiritual power, Yoruichi doesn't have a sword, and Ichigo can't help." Urahara explained to him, and at the same time pushed open the half-hidden door to let Hirako in, "It's up to you from now on, If you really don’t like him, just leave him a breath, don’t let him die. I used spiritual power to build a channel in his chest, and then you just stab the knife there, and I drew a cross on it .”

It's Kisuke Urahara's usual style.

Hirako stayed to take care of Aizen, while the other three were going to investigate Aizen River again.The door was gently closed, and the door lock made a soft click. Pingzi only saw Lan Ran lying on the bed with her upper body lying on the bed, her calves below her knees hanging beside the bed, she fell backwards due to lack of strength, and her glasses flew out due to the impact , probably bounced a couple of times, and faltered on the edge of the bed.

Gee, what a hassle.

He lifted Aizen's calf, pulled off the slippers and threw them behind him, pushing him towards the inside of the bed as carefully as possible.He obviously couldn't go out at all, and before Urahara and the others came in, he quickly got up in front of him, washed, changed his clothes, boiled water and made black tea, and finally opened the door slowly to let three unknown people in.

No matter what he does, he never seems to make a mistake or lose his image. If he was stable before, he should be described as guaranteeing his image now.

A god of death who wants to rule the soul world, of course, can't meet his former enemy with his upper body naked and wrapped in a quilt. If it was Hirako, if there was Aizen outside the door, he would have to get up, and he didn't want to let the other party see his weak body appearance.

Subconsciously thought of him.

He fell asleep peacefully, his face seemed to have been wiped indiscriminately, using the same towel that wiped his hair yesterday.Even though his spiritual power had bottomed out and he wanted to dry his hair, Pingzi didn't understand what Aizen was thinking.

Through the towel, the slightly higher temperature in Aizen's hands reminded him inevitably of his dream last night.That was what really happened, Hirako was sure of it.He lifted the blue dyed pair, and saw a crooked red cross on his chest, and a little bit of blood on the back of the sweater.Sure enough, it was impossible not to bleed just now, and Aizen was very quiet from the beginning to the end.

"Put down my clothes." Aizen said with her eyes closed.

Hirako let go of Aizen's clothes as if being scalded: "Why are you still awake?"

"Crap."

Closing his eyes and frowning, it reminded him of Aizen's appearance in the early morning.

"Stay with me for a while, Hirako."

After frowning and saying these words, Aizen became quiet again.Standing by the bed, Hirako watched his breathing gradually calm down, confirming that he was really asleep.

...is this Aizen?With such weak strength, the man who even asked him to be beside him frowns with a look of dissatisfaction, whether it is smiling or contemptuous in his memory, those expressions are far away.

But it's probably the same person as the vice-captain Aizen holding his long hair in his hand under the white paper lantern of the [-]th Division.

"Even if we get to the source, there are no clues."

Urahara stood in front of the stele, facing the Guangming Temple in Kyoto.Because the river with poignant and touching love stories has been revitalized, many couples also come here and visit Guangming Temple by the way.Kyoto has always had no shortage of temples and shrines. On the way they came, there was a small shrine facing the Aizan River.

"For temples, we can only visit them at night." Urahara scratched his head, there are quite a lot of people now, places like temples and shrines are more suitable for nourishing spirits, especially those in front of the spirit veins.They walked all the way back along the river, and saw the shrine when they came.Compared with the famous Guangming Temple, there are much fewer people here, but there are still many girls hanging out here, and they will also ask for an painted horse to write down their wishes.

"There are so many girls who come here to seek marriage recently! How about thinking about having an affair here, Ichigo-kun?"

"What, you are more serious!"

Kurosaki Ichigo stammered, "We're not here to hang out!"

"Huh? Aren't you tourists?"

A soft voice sounded behind them, and the three of them turned their heads. A girl in a maiden costume with a broom smiled at them gently.

"Ahaha, what..." Urahara smiled dryly, and suddenly slapped Herosaki on the back, "This is my nephew! I took him to Kyoto for a trip, but this kid just wants to go home and play games!"

What am I your nephew!Ichigo is in the inner channel.

The black cat in the man's arms yawned lazily, and the girl looked up at Urahara with love in her eyes: "Well, this cat is so cute."

Urahara immediately picked up the cat and stuffed it into the girl's arms: "You're welcome, just touch it casually, she has a very good personality."

Kurosaki Ichigo looked at him with accusing eyes, what's wrong with this cat's character? !

"Sorry..." He scratched the back of his head and tried to force a smile so that he didn't look so vicious. "Are you the miko of this shrine?"

While stroking the black cat, the girl smiled at Ichigo: "Yes, I am the heir of this shrine. My name is Tenma Chizuru—a lot of people suddenly came to the shrine recently. My mother-in-law and I are very busy!"

"Temma..." Urahara squeezed his chin, "Well, is there any connection between this shrine and the legend of the Aizen River? And the shrine is also called Tenma Shrine."

Amma Chizuru laughed happily: "Of course! This shrine is the proof of that legend! My mother-in-law told me that this shrine was set up for her by the descendants of Umetsu. Later, there was a shrine dedicated to Inari God, and it is also a recent thing that everyone suddenly came to pray for marriage, usually only local people would come.”

While talking, Qianhe gently stroked Yeyi with his hand: "This lady is really cute, if you know what I say..."

Speaking of this, her smile suddenly became a little sad: "When I was a child, the animals didn't approach me, but my mother-in-law said that it was because I was a worshiper of the gods, and that was the animals' expression of respect... so touching the little one It's the first time for a cat, thank you."

"My name is Urahara Kisuke." He also smiled at the girl, at least much better than the usual wretched smile, "Well, this cat is very clingy, and this time it was too entangled, so I took her out. .”

He clapped his hands lightly, and the black cat jumped from the girl's arms to Urahara's shoulder.

"Then let's go! Thank you, Miss Tianman!"

"Thank you, Urahara-kun, too!"

The girl bowed in their direction, smiling at Ichigo as well.Ichigo's face was a little hot, and he stretched out his hand to scratch his cheek: "That! See you later!"

They left the shrine again like this, Kisuke Urahara stroked the shiny fur of the black cat in his arms, and seemed to be in a good mood.

"Well, don't you think...that girl...is a bit strange?"

After walking quite a distance, Ichigo asked the question hesitantly.

"I thought Kurosaki-kun was bewitched by beauty!"

"Hey! No!"

"It looks like it to me," the black cat yawned lazily, then whispered, "but your feeling is right."

Ichigo was obviously still a little hesitant, so his pace also slowed down slightly.Along the Aizen River where people come and go, the faint breath of Xu, the breath of death, mixed with Aizen's Reiatsu, made him feel very uncomfortable.

"Maybe it's because she lives by the river?" Ichigo asked again.

Urahara shook his head and looked up at the blue sky.Under the circumstance that normal humans couldn't hear them, they all heard the roaring sound of Xu Xu in the distance and the interlacing sound of Jin Ge at the same time.The gods of death are preventing Xu from advancing, and the current situation is still within the controllable range, so there is no need to worry, not to mention that this river will also decompose Xu.It's just that I don't know what kind of things Aizen will do after he takes back the knife and gains spiritual power, or whether his mind will be affected by the spirit son from Xu?

"That girl does have an aura of emptiness." Urahara retracted his gaze and lowered the brim of his hat, "That's fine, so we don't have to go to Guangming Temple at night, let's start with this shrine."
