[Reaper Lanping] Dark River

Going back to the beginning, back to before everything happened—this is of course impossible.

There will be no more time like that, watching his back, following him through one street after another.

Why did you choose him?In fact, he also has many places to choose from, and he doesn't have to make trouble for himself and put himself in this person's vision.The way he looked at himself was full of doubts and vigilance, which was different from other gods of death, and also different from anyone he had ever met.

Why did you choose him?This kind of thing, even oneself does not know.After discovering such a secret, obeying one's own will and wanting to kill the spirit king and stand in the sky—the moment before stepping on the throne, one would step forward on the bones of others for this goal, using their anger and despair to forge Stairway to the sky.

So why on earth would I choose to be with that person?

It should be that shortly after he became the captain, he graduated from Mao.Seeing that man rolled up his sleeves, he said something to the assessment teacher with a casual look.

Immediately, he just sat there, watching the students take the assessment, pass or be eliminated, bored.When it was my turn, I didn't do anything special, I just sat there.A gust of wind blew by, blowing his long hair, and his bangs were half-length but not short.

Probably because of the setting sun, he saw a little bit of orange in those brown eyes.He sat so high, maybe the staring was just his own illusion.

Beautiful and sharp, that's the kind of person.The sobriety in those eyes is like the uncivilized thin ice on the river surface in early spring, or the piercing running water that has not yet frozen in early winter.

It was somewhere in between, which made him look dazed.

The wide feather weave was blown up by the wind, the white and green inside fluttered up and down, the long golden hair fluttered in the wind, and he, bathed in the sunset light——

Want to be with this person.

That shouldn't be something that will affect your goals.

"That captain looks very unfamiliar."

Before going on stage, he asked the classmates around him this way.

"Ah, that one just took office a while ago, the captain of the Fifth Division, Hirako Mako. Hey, although he was the vice-captain before, I heard that he has been acting as the captain of the Fifth Division for a while. After the death of Captain Zhu Sibo*—”

"Yes, thank you very much."

He smiled slightly, narrowed his eyes, and walked into the trial ground with his head down.

In the endless darkness, thinking of the original time, could it be that from that moment on, he was destined to be shaken at the last step of becoming a god?

If there is buried even the most meaningful hope of ordinary people, even if it is standing in front of the throne, even if it is already a god——the heart will make it fall from the sky.

Then, if the clock is turned back again, it will be earlier, and it will be another story to contact these two people.

It's just too early to tell.

"Urahara-kun told me to come here to find you, captain—ah, Hinamori-kun."

Aizen naturally guessed why Pingzi was angry, and speaking of it, it was entirely his own fault.Thinking without any guilt, Aizen put his hands in his pockets, turned sideways to meet Pingzi with angry and questioning eyes: "Please don't blame her, captain."

"Captain Aizen..."

No matter what, I can't believe that my beloved chief will appear in front of me again, so close to her.Although her dress was completely different from before, her voice and gentle look were exactly the same as she remembered.

But as soon as the words were spoken, she reacted.

The fact of Aizen's betrayal has been accepted in his mind, but his heart is still subconsciously facing the former captain.But at this moment, her captain is here—Mako Hirako, looking down at her after hearing her call.

"You don't need to do this, Vice Captain Hina Mori, get up." Hirako lowered his head, with a look of hesitation and helplessness in his eyes.

Although I have already given my feelings, but the real person will not be changed, right?He knew that in Chu Sen's heart, he was not quite her captain; but when he really heard it, he couldn't help but feel disappointed.

"team leader……"

Pingzi walked over and forcefully helped her up.Chu Sen stood on the spot, her hands clenched uneasily in front of her chest, at a loss for what to do.

"Sure enough, I'm not a good captain, am I? Sorry, my words... are far from the guy behind me."

Without waiting for Chimori to speak, Hirako showed a helpless expression, seemingly indifferent: "I know, you helped me persuade some new players to accept me in the fifth team, and I am very grateful for this. "

Even if she is protected, cherished, and taken care of, it cannot completely replace Aizen's position in her heart.He understands all of these, but he is still looking forward to it with meaningless fantasies.Although he is not the one who grows up with her, but he will be a captain who protects her and guides her on the next path...

"If you say it out, it doesn't matter if I am an unqualified captain, I will definitely try my best to do what Taoxin thinks—but if I am asked to do blue dye, I am really sorry."

Chu Sen could only shake her head desperately, bit her lower lip, tears flowed out again, not knowing what to say.Tears rolled down, hit her hand, and slid down the back of her hand.

"Let's go back first."

Holding Hina Mori's shoulders, Hirako wanted to leave in an instant as he spoke.

"Leave me alone, okay?"

Behind him was Aizen's voice with a playful smile. Seeing him looking back at him, he tilted his head innocently: "Mr. Urahara told me to come to you quickly, and I happened to see this scene. I'm sorry, Captain .”

"I'm not your captain anymore, Aizen." Hirako said coldly.

Aizen stepped forward step by step, and at the same time saw Hirako's feet move a little bit, facing him sideways—it was the gait he made before drawing his sword.

"Then, Hirako Mako, what's the matter, it's better to explain it to Urahara-kun." He stopped, only two steps away from Hirako, and then disappeared before his eyes as quickly as when he came.

After Aizen's spiritual pressure disappeared, Hina Mori felt that the spiritual pressure raised by the captain had dropped again.He exhaled, still looking at her with a sad expression.

"Let's go, Peach."

Urahara and Heiko got more or less the latest information about the disintegration of the soul.Because the incident happened not long ago, Urahara detected these scattered spirit particles, and finally they all gathered in one place in the room, and then disappeared.

It is very likely that these spirits were forcibly gathered together and then taken away.In other words, someone is deliberately hunting the souls of living people, collecting them and taking them away, or devouring them on the spot.According to the scene, the person who did this kind of thing is very familiar with the laws of human society, and the time of committing the crime may have been pushed back to about five years ago, after the millennium bloody war ended.

At that time, Aizen was still bound to the chair. Who knows how he was re-sealed at the ankle a year later, and he was able to undo all the seals behind the mouth and eyes and escape from prison.But at that time, various strange accidents began to appear in Karakura Town.If you sort it out carefully, you can find that whether it is tourists or locals, a lot of people were killed.It may be because of something that caused the culprit to speed up the collection of spirit particles. The gods of death received the disappearance of life in a certain household. The soul reaction remains, but the person has disappeared—so it is reported as the disappearance of the soul.Later, after investigation, it was finally confirmed that it was disintegrated, rather than simply disappearing.

"That is to say, we have ruled out the most likely suspect, but we still don't know where the real criminal is now, nor what he wants to do~"

Aizen stood leisurely behind Urahara, eyes closed, with a face of nothing to do with himself, while the captain and deputy captains in front of Urahara looked as if they were facing a big enemy.

"Hey, don't be so serious, Hitsugaya-kun, Hirako-kun, at least we have helpers now, don't we?"

Toshiro was the first to cast contempt and suspicion at him: "Aizen? And then again, you know that Aizen is in Karakura Town, right? Why didn't you report it to Jinglingting?"

"I'm not a member of the Guarding Thirteen Team anymore. Besides, if he wants to run away, no one can stop him!"

Speaking of this, he paid special attention to the expressions of the two members of the Fifth Division.Hirako seemed really shocked, and when he used honorifics to him just now, he didn't interrupt him to call him Mako as usual.Although Chu Sen next to him looked fine, his eye circles were still red, and both of them seemed to be wandering away.

"Ah, Vice Captain Chu Mori." He had no choice but to call her first.Fortunately, Chu Sen came back to his senses and quickly agreed.

Urahara pressed his hat habitually: "You follow Captain Hitsugaya first, and the three of you will take turns patrolling the city."

Hearing about his vice-captain, Hirako was the first to react: "Hey Kisuke, you forgot about me!"

"The two of us are going to patrol alone." Urahara waved his hand and looked directly at Toshiro, "Hey, Hitsugaya-kun, how about this?"

Dongshiro narrowed his eyes and nodded his head: "There are two captain-level investigations, and I am also very relieved. I will leave the patrols to us. Please also investigate."

He turned around directly, perhaps showing a little bit of vigilance towards Aizen, and said, "Matsumoto, Hinamori, let's go——Urahara, please take care of the other things."

After speaking, he and Matsumoto disappeared one after another, and Hina Mori finally turned back to look in Aizen's direction, but Aizen didn't look at her.Following Aizen's gaze, she saw her current captain looking at her.

Without any extra words, she also disappeared in front of Urahara's store in an instant.

Urahara looked at Hirako and had nothing to say, he could only pat him on the shoulder: "I'm really sorry." I can't help you.

It is natural for Pingzi to feel bad about being concealed by two vice-captains in a row.

Although this is the first time to bluntly confess to his vice-captain, it does not seem to have the result he expected.Aizen leaned against the wall, with a half-smile on his face, and closed his eyes again.Pingzi was too lazy to talk to him, and even if he did, he would only get a mocking answer.

"Any guesses, Urahara?"

"No more, I just want you to be separated from Chusen-kun for a while, I think Chusen-kun will understand your painstaking efforts."

Hearing what Urahara said, Hirako finally showed a slightly troubled expression: "I'm really sorry to trouble you, thank you."

The culprit finally opened his eyes: "I finally didn't say that everything was my fault and rushed forward, and I also breathed a sigh of relief."

It's okay not to say this, but as soon as the words fell, Hirako disappeared from Urahara's sight, Shunbu appeared in front of Aizen, and brushed out the sheath against Aizen's neck.

"You bastard... You bastard is now, how can you still say such things in such a leisurely way! Ah!!!"

The memories he retrieved, what he found last night, his various reactions when he was with him.Because of these, his attitude towards Aizen became more subtle, but when something happened again, all of these would turn into oil poured on the anger.

"Don't worry, captain, since everything has already happened, it is impossible to turn back the time."

Aizen said calmly, as if he didn't know that there was a sharp knife on his neck.

"Instead of venting your anger on me, it's better to think about how to catch the prisoner..."

Those sharp and rational eyes were full of hatred and anger towards him, and he originally imagined whether unlocking the memory seal would make him feel a little better for him, but it seemed that he had miscalculated.

Even when he was tied to a chair, he had a plan in every word and deed, and Aizen Soyousuke, who had no mistakes, was somewhat similar to the helpless feeling of Kurosaki Ichigo who saw the moonless Kurosaki Ichigo.

Failed, no way.

Perhaps it was because he knew that he would never be able to get him again, so when he saw the disgust in his eyes because of himself, he felt a burst of joy in his heart.

"Ping Zijun, if you don't have the ability to get along well with your subordinates as a superior, how can you blame others?"

"Blue, dye!"

"Enough! Mako!"

Urahara made a sound to stop, but there was already a trace of blood on Aizen's neck.

"Kisuke! You too!"

The anger that Pingzi had accumulated for a long time finally broke out: "Didn't you also be implicated by this guy and had to come to the present world? You also know how many people this guy killed and what he did! Hiyori and the others It’s also because of this guy that it’s so painful! Why, why do you all stop me, wouldn’t it be good to kill this guy!”

"Let's not talk about whether we can kill this problem, Mr. Hirako." The look in Urahara's eyes was pressed under the brim of his hat, "You really don't hate him so much because of yourself?"

For the remorse and guilt of his companions, and for the souls that he failed to save and protect, when he talked about these things, he noticed that when Hirako was talking about these things, he avoided everything about his own thoughts.Because of this, the distance he gives people is always very far away, even if he opens his heart, he will not allow others to understand himself deeply.

It looks like a man who doesn't need to worry about others, but in fact he doesn't allow others to peek into his heart.He is not alone in having this.

With a final sigh, he turned and walked to the back of the shop.Because the other party was Aizen, they had an agreement, so he decided to take a gamble.If he still deceived everyone this time, and he lost in his hands... He couldn't help sighing, thinking that things had happened more recently, and the frequency of his sighing became more frequent.

Only Hirako and Aizen were left in the store, Hirako stared at the man who seemed to be able to do anything with ease, gritted his teeth, but his hands did not tremble.

"Captain, is there really no other reason to be angry with me?" Lan Ran put away her smile and asked him in a low voice.

The reason why this man never admitted it was obvious to everyone else.And he guessed it himself, imagining why Zhongpingzi was so angry and hated himself.

"...Not at all, Captain?"

The hand holding the knife did not shake at all, but Hirako's lips trembled a little.

Subconsciously, Aizen raised his hand and rested his fingers on the blade.

"Before you swing your knife at me, please think about it, at least tell me why you hate me so much?"

"Does it need to be said—"

"Not for anyone else."

Aizen's fingertips rubbed against the clean blade, and then circled around the blade to touch Hirako's cheek.

"Not for others, Mako Hirako, but for yourself."

The look of expectation settled in the eyes of the brown-haired man, turning into a deeper color.In the eyes of the other party, he saw his calm face, and even he felt that his appearance was a bit ugly.

He knows how difficult it is to do things for himself and obey his own will; he himself realized this only after he failed.

"Mako Hirako, for yourself, tell me...why do you hate me so much?"

His vision trembled, and he could only see the handsome but annoying face of the man, and hear his low and slow words, speaking his familiar bewitching words.Knowing that she could never trust him, she believed him again and again after that.

The temperature of the other party was transmitted through the fingertips, and the tactile sensation was magnified by the skin. It was a little cold, but also had an incredible warmth; the flickering lights, and the refreshing smell that belonged to this man in the memory seemed to reappear in front of my eyes. , lingering in the nose.

"……I……"

At first it was just a superficial touch. After he struggled to say a syllable, the touch of the fingertips changed direction, and then the whole hand, stroking the side of his face.

Shaking is only a momentary thing.

Using the other hand to carefully push the blade away, Aizen lowered his head and saw his own face with confusion in the opponent's eyes, getting close enough to clearly see the trembling of his eyelashes.

"Pirako, Mako..."

Last time, bathed in the brilliance of the setting sun, she was bewitched to approach him; this time, she wanted to forcibly open his heart and made a deliberate approach.

And at this moment, he saw the whites of Mako Hirako's eyes protrude, and a turbulent black appeared; the touch of his hand also changed from warm skin to something cold and hard.He quickly moved away from the man in front of him, but it was still too late, the other man's blade swung over, slashing cleanly across his chest.

The brown eyes that were originally full of anger turned into an ominous dark gold; the bone mask quickly covered his face, and Mako Hirako completely blurred in an instant, which even alarmed Urahara.

"Hey Aizen!!! And Mako!!! Aizen Soyousuke-kun, what the hell have you done—"

Aizan quickly exited the narrow space and came to the top of the Urahara store, and Hirako Mako also caught up with him in a blink of an eye, holding the knife flat in front of her chest, and a red light gathered in front of her.

When Urahara ran out of the store, he only saw this scene.

"Give it to me, die here."

With Xu's unique hollow voice, Xu Shan in front of Mako Hirako spoke to Aizen who was still dripping blood on his chest.Aizen rested on the knife with one hand, and his thumb rested on the knife but did not move.

"Mako!!!!"

In the next second, Aizen's figure was surrounded by the red light.

The author has something to say: *Zhu Sibo Zhengyuan: The former captain of the Fifth Division in the Reaper NDS game.This is embarrassing, NDS assumes that he is Aizen's boss, who was killed by Aizen and turned into a monster.Time manipulation is carried out here, and it is set that the captain before Mako Hirako was Zhu Sibo, and Mako Hirako was his vice-captain before.Private Aizen started experimenting during the Mao period, and the captain who "accidentally placed an order" was convenient.
