[Reaper Lanping] Dark River

Hands are shaking.

The knife is also trembling.

However, the girl tried to put on a fearless posture and confronted Xu.

This time, there was no captain-level Grim Reaper by their side, and she was the only Grim Reaper present.Xia Li and Youzi's spiritual power is very strong, but they are not gods of death, and they don't have the means to attack and protect themselves like Zhi Ji's predecessors.

Xu's spiritual pressure is very strong, before the rescue arrives, he must try his best to resist it for a while.

Waiting impatiently, Xu rushed over very quickly, Qianhe had no time to make a move, so he could only use his shallow blow to first touch Xu's mouth, and was constantly pushed back by Xu's strength.While pushing and resisting, the blade rubbed against Xu's fangs and sparks were produced.Daxu's head suddenly lifted up, Qianhe was caught off guard, lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground on his back.

For someone who has never used a knife before, being able to defend against this blow can already surprise others.If it was Urahara, he would definitely make such an evaluation.Xia Li and You Zi hid aside, and Xia Li knew that this bird might come out from other places, so she looked around nervously.

Misaki.

From the time I met him, I felt that this person was very weird. He neither made friends nor participated in clubs. Apart from studying, he was a student with a very low sense of existence.Sitting next to her, she seemed unwilling to communicate with anyone.Was his appearance just now a coincidence, or something else?

While vigilant, Xia Li quickly searched for everything about Yu Zuoming in her mind.I have never met his parents, and no one came to pick him up from school, and I don't know where he lives now. He just said that he had something to do so he dropped out of school.Urahara-san said that the Xu who attacked them and Hitsugaya-kun that day was probably domesticated, so could it be him?

Qianhe in the battlefield ignored the pain on his body, immediately stood up with the knife, raised the knife and slashed at Xu.Aizen said that as long as the mask is cut, it’s all right—how did Mr. Hitsugaya behave that day, because she passed out, so she didn’t know that this virtual mask couldn’t even cut through the captain-level god of death, so she just With a swing of the knife, of course it collided violently with Xu's mask.Xu Chi raised his head in pain, and let out the long screaming sound that she had heard that day.

...I can't die.

As long as you swing your sword with such faith——

Before she had time to think about it, Xu Xu flicked her head, and she flew out and fell heavily on the ground.

Every part of her body was aching, and when she raised her hand to touch her head with difficulty, she felt a wet feeling that made her panic.

Blood dripped slowly from the head.

Probably enraged by Chizuru's actions, more black cavities opened, Xu's head protruded from it, and greed and anger shone in the dark golden eyes.From the looks of it, he should plan to eat her first.Chizuru regretted it, if, if...

From the corner of the eye, I saw the boy who had just gone away, but he had actually been hiding in the woods behind the park.Iron-gray eyes looked down at him without any waves.

Oops, are you really going to die here?

But I don't want to die yet...

"Hey, over there! What's going on??"

Seemingly noticing something unusual here, a familiar male voice sounded.Seeing the young man, Qianhe seemed to give a "tsk" in disdain, then retracted Xu's head into the black cavity one by one, and the figure of the young man also disappeared into the woods.

who is it?Who is here?

He struggled to get up, and looking back, the man ran towards the direction where Youzi and Xia Li were holding her body.Oh no!Once out of the body, one's bodily functions will completely stop.

She propped up her body with the knife, ran over stumblingly, and returned to her body before the man.When I opened my eyes again, I saw... the new teacher, Junichiro Fukumune, the history teacher.

"Hey, are you okay, classmate Tianman? What's wrong? Why is your head still bleeding??"

From the perspective of a passer-by, it must be two girls hugging another girl who was unconscious on the ground, no matter how you look at it, it looks suspicious!Xia Li can understand this feeling very well, so she quickly shook her head and explained to their new history teacher: "It's okay, classmate Qianhe just suddenly lost his strength and fell here, knocking his head."

His whole body was still in severe pain, but Qianhe still had to act like he was fine, and nodded at Fuzong: "Thank you teacher, I passed out suddenly just now..."

"Ah! Really! It scared me to death!"

Fuzong wiped the sweat from his head and straightened up: "Student Tianman, are you sick? Pay attention to your body! There are also Kurosaki-san and Kurosaki-san..."

"It's okay, teacher!" Youzi smiled at him comfortingly, "Our home is a clinic! Please leave it to us!"

"Is it really okay?" Fu Zong asked again, "Recently there have been many accidents in Karakura Town, why don't I send you back?"

Kurosaki Xia Li nodded: "Thank you, teacher! It's okay, our house is just a few minutes' walk across the park."

Fu Zong was stunned for a moment, and then thought of something, his face suddenly turned red, he hesitated and said to Tianman: "Well, classmate Tianman, if you feel unwell for a period of time, don't force yourself, pay attention to rest. , if the pain is really unbearable...Since Kurosaki-san said that he can take care of you...then I'll go first and have a good rest!"

After finishing speaking, Fuzong turned around, walked quickly to the gate of the park, turned his head uneasy, glanced at Tianma and the others again, saw Kurosaki Xiali nodded at him, and then walked away.

Youzi supported Qianhe, and thanked her tenderly: "Thank you, Qianhe was really amazing just now..."

"no!"

Qianzuru supported her head, stood with gritted teeth, seemed to spend a little time organizing her sentences, and then turned to Xia Li and said, "That Yuzuo, there is a problem!"

Yu Zuoming, his parents are unknown, and his place of residence is unknown. All he knows is that he and Xia Li entered the school together in the first year of high school, and they will suspend school this semester, that's all.

Because after seeing ordinary people coming, Yu Zuo seemed to be afraid of something, and disappeared with Xu Xu.If Fuzong hadn't come over, I don't know what would have happened.

"Let's not talk about this first, why didn't you protect them? Obviously you are in charge of monitoring, right?"

After Natsuri and the others left the Urahara store, Toshiro lowered his voice and questioned Aizen first.Now in the small tea room, Urahara Aizen Hirako and Dongshiro formed a circle, Xiaotao was in charge of escorting the three girls back, and Ranju continued to patrol.Hearing that three people were attacked and Aizen didn't go to rescue them, Toshiro couldn't help but doubt Urahara's decision, so he turned his attention to Urahara.

"It's hard for me to explain this, but I believe Soyousuke-kun has his own judgment, don't you?"

Usually when Urahara called Aizen by name, it would be more teasing and difficult.Aizen put the teacup on the low table, with an invariable smile on his face: "That's because I want to see if the person who attacked them is the same person who attacked me."

The one who attacked him was a man of juvenile stature, and Misaki certainly fit the bill.So, why did Misaki take Xu to devour the souls of living people all over Karakuza Town, and why has the speed of feeding Xu been accelerated recently?Xu's greed has really reached the point where he can't maintain the life that a normal person should have. Does he need to suspend school to create conditions for Xu to eat his soul?

"There is another doubt." Hirako raised a finger and stared at Urahara, "Think about it, why Aizen was attacked when he went to the rooftop, but Xu didn't show up?"

Urahara's eyes also became sharper: "Yeah - if it's simply because you can't eat it, there's no need to attack him, as long as you hide it so you won't be found. In that case, why would Mizuaki attack him?"

"It's not just me, if you go, you will also be attacked." Aizen said, turning his gaze to the black cat who hadn't spoken since the beginning of the discussion, "Mr. Sifengyuan, do you have any news? "

The black cat stretched itself, and dexterously jumped onto the table after hearing the question, and said in a hoarse male voice: "Before you escaped from prison, because the war spread to the special prison area, many prisoners escaped. It should include the prisoners in the special prison area. The other prisoners have been arrested and brought to justice, but this one was taken into custody when he was the god of death, but after being detained, he found out that he was not the god of death, Misaki, but escaped before you."

Slanting his eyes, the black cat's eyes were a little playful: "Small Bee also said that he would bring you and Yu Zuoming back together in the present world."

Aizen ignored the last sentence, and turned his attention to Urahara again: "If I remember correctly, you were in the second team before you became the captain. Don't you and Mr. Sifengin have no impression?"

"If it wasn't for me to take it in person, I really don't have a special impression. Besides, I wasn't the third seat 150 years ago—isn't it Miss Yeyi?"

"The third seat 150 years ago suddenly died of a sudden illness after a detention job." The black cat flicked its tail back and forth, "That is to say, no one knows now, what exactly is Yu Zuoming?"

Lan Ran's eyes darkened: "It seems that all the gentlemen are clueless again."

That sword is also good, he may still have some ideas about that simple sword.It's just that now he doesn't want to share it with others.It was a very precious and valuable thing. It would be a pity if it was given to Urahara and brought back to Soul Society by the captains.

"I have to try my best to remember." Urahara covered his forehead, "It's too bad, if Captain Kurosaki comes back and finds out that his daughter has been attacked twice, I don't know how he will fight with me!"

Sitting in the knife house, she looked at the cherry blossoms outside.

Why, the master hasn't summoned himself yet?

The sword soul was forged by Ermeiya as the master's power of death matured and awakened.Obviously already a very powerful god of death, but he has not summoned himself for a long time.

The gray-yellow color that was like a dream enveloped his eyes, and even his heart became restless.

Calling her master, but her master has not responded to her for a long time.Why, why not summon her, why not desire her...

"I'll be by your side."

The man's voice still echoed in his ears.

In the beginning, she was not as silent as she is now, staying away from the crowd.Only later, because of that man's departure, did he feel even more lonely?

Whether it is you or the master, it is actually me who longs for and chases you, but in the end I will only end up being abandoned.

"Go to sleep."

The man's voice has no ups and downs.A man whose name and abilities are unknown, has disappeared since then because he was attracted by his master.She is the only one who sits here day after day, watching the cherry blossoms bloom, the green leaves stretching in summer, the maple leaves falling on the ground from the knife house next door, and the winter snow covering the entire yard.

day to day.

Incomparably lonely.

She raised her head, and the cherry blossoms covered the entire sky.She stood up and walked towards the door.Bare feet, stepping on the petals of cherry blossoms.The white sleeves were blown up by the wind, and the blue flowers seemed to be falling, almost flying up on her sleeves.

In the dark green eyes, the usually beautiful scenery is also full of unknown meaning of melancholy and sadness.

I want to find you.

I want to find you (あなた).

When she was born, Master Nimeiya gave her approving eyes; the man's cold palm conveyed encouragement to her; the master's spiritual power was faintly felt for the first time.

Those are things that make her very happy.However, if you keep waiting, the joyful things will not happen again.

Step by step, she walked down the corridor.Because she had been sitting for a long time, she staggered on her feet, leaning on the pillars of the porch, and walked forward slowly.

The cherry blossoms floated into the house as usual, the girl's long dark brown hair was blown up by the wind, and the small flowers on the hairpin also danced and stretched their petals with the wind.

I want to meet you.

Please call me.

Please--

Mako Hirako sat up suddenly.

"Please call my name."

This is not his memory, not his dream.In the darkness, he was panting heavily, his chest heaving violently.That sad little voice was still echoing in my head, with a strong feeling of longing.Recalling the rustling sound in his ears, he raised his hand to hold Ni Fu, looked at the knife in his hand, his brown eyes were pensive.

That was not the memory of his knife, let alone his own.He can confirm that it belongs to the memory of Flowers in Mirror and Moon in Water.Why did Aizen's knife give her memory to him, or was it just an unintentional move?

Looking at the door, because Shiro Dong tried to escape in the morning, Jinghua Shuiyue stubbornly stayed in Shiro Dong's bedroom, standing motionless at the door.Thinking of Aizen's threatening eyes when he left, under Hirako's staring and cheering, Shiro Toshiro's hand trembled several times and grabbed the mirror flower and water moon, but finally stopped midway and ended in failure.

"Hey, Jinghua Shuiyue said, you are very similar to her, is it true?"

Apart from the initial rustling, Ni Fu fell silent again.Pingzi scratched his head in embarrassment, and hit Nifu hard.

"If you ask me, just answer it! I'm your master!"

He leaned against the wall and looked out the window.There is no moon, only the lights of street lamps, and a black sky.

"Really, it's the same, but you are actually worse!" There was no refutation or explanation, as if the tremor just now and his dream did not exist.Ni Fu has never been particularly interested in the outside world. As for Pingzi, after he found out the truth in his countless words and learned the swastika, he almost never talked to him again.

Such silent resistance will only give way to Pingzi, who is chasing after every step, and feel embarrassed.He gave up communicating with the knife, as if thinking of something, he closed his eyes, stretched out his hand, and sensed a person's spiritual pressure.

It's not in the Urahara store now, but it should be somewhere in Karakura Town.Where will he be?

In the darkness, he stretched out his hand and caught a red ribbon in the void.

That was Aizen's spirit channel.

The bright red spirit fluttering in his hand would fly out as soon as he let go of his hand.Pingzi held the Lingluo tightly and sighed.

Soyousuke.Aizen Soyousuke.

Could it be that he was lying to me, the kind of behavior that clearly expresses his favor to himself.He held the fluttering red spirit thread, wrapped it around his fingertips, and played with it repeatedly, his fingers twisted and loosened.

That is a title that should have been abandoned by myself 100 years ago.As long as those three syllables are pronounced between the lips and teeth, even the heart will tense up.Obviously I am not such a twitchy person, but I would hesitate to move forward because of something I like.And when he wanted to fight for it for the first time, he was completely deceived. Should he say that he was unlucky?

What I used to think more is that as long as he is always behind me, whether it is for a second or for a lifetime, even if I will not say my heart in the end, seeing who he likes, I will be happy in my heart, right? ?However, everything he expected was shattered by his action of raising the knife under the moon that night. Even if the memory of a certain night is erased, the past days and nights printed in the soul will not disappear.

A bright red spiritual vein coiled between the palms.He had done the same once in the dim light of the captain's room of the Fifth Division.In the end it was like this——

He let go of his hand lightly, and the red spirit thread passed through the wall and disappeared.

Because I feel that there are still many opportunities to play like this, so I let go every time without paying attention.Until a long time later, when I closed my eyes again and grabbed into the darkness, it was empty.

By the way, that guy was imprisoned in the Infinite Room, so it's normal not to feel it.While he was relieved, a sense of loss gradually surfaced in his heart.

"Blue dye..."

……

It's obviously much younger than me, but she always looks like she's in control of everything, which makes me uncomfortable.There will be no mistakes in all calculations, and what you want will be in your hands.

I used to think that I was such a person, right?It feels like there are never mistakes and everything is handled perfectly.

...I have to go out tomorrow and go to the scene of the accident to see for myself.

It's better to go out now while Huajinghuashuiyue is not here.Entering the corpse, he put on casual clothes, opened the door lightly with a knife in his hand, and held his shoes with the other hand.

No one, Urahara probably fell asleep too.Reiatsu cannot deceive people, so he can only sneak out when they are asleep and unable to perceive.Why did Urahara let Aizen investigate so reassuringly? Isn't he afraid that Aizen has concealed some important information and won't tell him?

He walked to the store in a few instants.The door was locked, he cursed inwardly and went back, and when he got to the courtyard he could run up to the roof in a blink of an eye.

After a few more Shunbu, the spiritual pressure was lowered, he went outside the house, looked at the moon on the treetops, carried the knife in one hand, and helped put on the shoes with the other hand, and disappeared into the courtyard after a few ups and downs.

If it is you, according to what Urahara and Aizen said, find the one that makes you most irritable and uncontrollable.Follow that feeling, maybe you can find that Misaki.

Staying in the courtyard shrouded in moonlight, Kyoka Suigetsu wearing black furisui gradually took human form.Holding on to the pillar, she looked at the direction where Pingzi disappeared, and shook her head slightly.

"Sure enough, as the master expected, he left."
