[Reaper Lanping] Dark River

Under the intense white light, Urahara slowly closed his eyes and let out a barely audible sigh.

Whether it was what he said to Chisen deliberately to let him break the seal, or his sincere thoughts, he no longer wanted to pursue it.Perhaps, because of his own guilt towards Hirako, he couldn't do what he said, watching Hirako die; maybe it was because he remembered the frenzied roar when he sealed Aizen for the first time, Kurosaki's Thoughts, what was his mood at that time.

Although I also said that Bengyu gave up helping Aizen evolve because it no longer recognizes Aizen as its master; but if Bengyu responds to Aizen again this time, even if he only changes the level of awakening from hundred Raising one-tenth to three percent is enough for Lan Ran to kill Da Xu and them together, and then slowly undo the seal.

If he hadn't set a new seal for Aizen later, he probably wouldn't have agreed to Aizen's request just because of Chisen's words today.The milky white spiritual power quickly materialized and enveloped Lan Ran, and the god of death who had broken through the evolution of the dimension in the winter battlefield appeared in front of him.It may be because Bengyu has not been completely liberated, except for the purple-black eyes and the long brown hair scattered behind due to the soaring spiritual power, Aizen has not changed much.

... No, the change in eyes and hair is enough to shock those next to me!Because of being injured or trapped in the virtual circle, only Urahara has seen Aizen's appearance like this.To be honest, thinking of Aizen's evolutionary form in the end, Urahara sincerely thinks there is nothing surprising about it.

"Hmph, stingy man."

Glancing at Urahara with great pressure, Aizen might have noticed that Bengyu hadn't fully awakened.Contrary to what he saw before, his body began to turn into white spirit particles floating in the air.

The body was scattered on one side, Lan Ran passed him by, walked to the front of the enchantment and said slowly: "Have you never thought about why the mirror flower that was clearly shattered in that battle, when you found me I didn't The Kyoka Suigetsu I carried now will have the blade again, so is there any reason to stand inside?"

Urahara widened his eyes.

Is it—

Hirako supported her body with the knife and stood up with difficulty.Half of his mask has been shattered, and his spiritual and physical strength have already been exhausted.

"Too bad, I don't know if I can still buy this windbreaker."

Whispering to himself, he raised the knife and pointed it at Daxu who had no good intentions towards him.Taking advantage of the fact that he can attract Da Xu to buy some time, maybe...

If he falls here, not only Qianhe and Xia Li, but everyone in this school will die. Once Daxu is satisfied and breaks through the barrier, I don't know how many people will be involved.

This responsibility made him feel extremely heavy.What's worse is that if he falls here, the situation will definitely expand, which means negating all the efforts he and Qianzuru have made for this.

"Little Qianhe..."

He knew that it was because of Daxu's fear of Qianhe's bow and arrow, and because he harassed it many times, that he focused on him.She was able to unravel Zanpakuto less than a month after she became Shinigami, and her talent is also very high.Well, that's the talented person that Aizen is looking for, and Qianzuru's improvement should be expected by that man.

Hirako couldn't help smiling under the mask when he noticed the figure that had flashed through his mind many times.

As a result, until his death, he couldn't forget this man.He must have been cheated again to become like this.

Urahara stared at Aizen's gradually disappearing figure: "Could it be that you—"

"Ah, I left Kyoka Suigetsu with you on purpose, Kisuke Urahara."

His gaze was cold, and there was an inexplicable blame in it: "The order I gave Kyoka Suigetsu was actually not to stay with Mako-kun and Hitsugaya-kun, but to stay with you. When you are about to approach here, I will Ask Jinghua Shuiyue to come with you. However, Makoto-kun woke up earlier than I thought, and seeing that you didn't do anything, Jinghua Shuiyue took this as the first goal and followed Makoto-kun to the rooftop."

While he was speaking, Kyoka Shuiyue on the rooftop looked up at the helpless Qianzuru: "Sister Tianman, throw me over."

"what?"

Tianma Qianhe looked at the mirror flower and water moon, and the figure of the mirror flower water moon was also gradually disappearing, turning into a white spirit child, revealing the cold light of the blade from the lowest end.

"There's no time to explain, Sister Tianman." Jinghua Shuiyue's expression was never serious, "After I disappear, pull me out and throw me at Mr. Pingzi's side."

Indeed, at this moment, there is no time to think about it, Chizuru nodded and stretched out his hand towards Kyoka Shuiyue.

"After throwing me, you can put an arrow behind me, so that I can be controlled by Da Xu."

Fading away gradually, the dark green eyes contained encouragement to Chizuru: "Please."

"it is good!"

Qianzuru grasped the dark green gauntlet and pulled the knife out of the concrete on the roof.The cold light flickered on the blade.At this time, she didn't want to think about why Jinghua Shuiyue asked her to do this.She only knew that if she didn't do anything, there was nothing she could do.

Daxu's eight heads screamed at the same time, that was its last movement before attacking.

Aizen below has slowly disappeared, he withdrew the icy smile that was aimed at Urahara, closed his eyes, and then completely disappeared in front of everyone.

"How is this going?"

Dongshiro looked at the Lingzi that was flying away and gradually disappeared in front of him, and Luanju Inoue Ishida and others beside him were also puzzled, only Xiaotao seemed to have sensed something, and cast her gaze above the rooftop.

In Aizen's unfinished words, Urahara quickly understood his unexplainable and unfinished words.

Why did his broken knife reappear?Why did he have to let Jinghua Shuiyue follow him and Pingzi to the rooftop?

That's because the beauty in the mirror and the moon in the water have become a part of his body.

After Bengyu's help to evolve, Aizen can already be integrated with his own Zanpakuto.Even though Kyoka Suigetsu was chopped into pieces during the battle with Kurosaki Ichigo, his sword spirit is still preserved in his soul as a part of him.As long as Sword Soul is still there, Aizen can regain the body of Kyoka Suigetsu at any time.

That is to say, from the very beginning, part of his body has been inside the purple anti-membrane, and only he can enter inside the anti-membrane after the anti-membrane is erected.

Did he expect it?Anticipating such a terrible Xu, and his unfolding anti-membrane?Expected that he would unlock the seal for him?It is expected that Bengyu can make him quickly evolve to the stage of combining with Zanpakudao while being suppressed by him?

If this is the case, it can also explain why the sword soul and the sword body can take away his spiritual power.His spirit son was suppressed by his own seal, and could not freely control the flow. It was equivalent to frozen water. Although its strength increased, it was expected that it would be easily taken away, so he could not let Urahara borrow it. Find Zanpakuto by helping him unlock the seal of Bengyu, because his body will dissipate because he cannot bear the power of Bengyu.

Aizen must have expected it, no matter whether it is Urahara or Hirako inside, if it is Urahara, in order to protect himself, Urahara must pick up the mirror flower Suigetsu by himself, and the seal can still be lifted through contact with him; if it is Hirako, outside Urahara will also release his seal because of his request and perhaps other people's requests.

——No matter what the situation is, he will finally gain the power of Bengyu. Although it is temporary, he can make further analysis of his seal.

Looking up at the roof, the spiritual pressure inside is still expanding and overflowing.

How long does it take for Aizen to restructure the body?

Maybe it was the flash of light during the war, maybe because of the suppression of power, the time will be extended.

Urahara only hoped that he made a decision that he did not regret.

Everything was in that man's calculations, from the very beginning.

On the rooftop, Xu's head went straight down, facing Hirako Mako.Amma Chizuru used all her strength to throw the sword like a javelin.

Everyone saw that Pingzi's figure jumped up from the edge of the roof, and rushed towards Daxu with a knife in his hand.

With a decisive and fearless attitude.

Aizen's figure still did not appear.

A huge impact sounded, and time, together with everyone's terrified and desperate expressions, stopped at that moment.

Tianman Qianhe sat on the ground powerlessly; only she saw that the knife suddenly shattered and disappeared into the air when it passed by Daxu on the way of flying.

"Mr. Hirako——!!!"

"team leader!"

Everything is like watching an old-fashioned movie, and all the colors in front of my eyes have faded away.

After getting rid of Daxu in front of him, he bared his teeth and turned his head impatiently.Aizen stood there panting, his eyes were full of panic and worry, as well as vague anger.

"why!"

That was the only time he lost his composure in front of himself.

"Why what?" He sheathed the knife, walked over and patted him on the shoulder, "Please clean up the scene, Sousuke."

Lan Ran held the scabbard in one hand and chased after him: "Killian happened on Liuhun Street! Why didn't you tell me! Captain, in case you—"

"Long-winded, you are so annoying!"

He raised his hand lazily and waved behind him: "Did I call you here to send you to death?"

Ah, that day, he sent Aizen and other team members away, and went to meet that Killian by himself in advance.Of course, the matter was perfectly resolved, and the team members only solved it when the captain accidentally met Killian. Only Aizen noticed it, and when Killian moved towards them at the other end, Hirako took the lead. All the team members at the scene said "this is the captain's order" to their doubts, and forcibly sent him away.

"Even so, Captain, I—"

"No but, I'm going back, Soyousuke."

Refusing to explain, he arched his waist and walked in front with a very tired look.

Maybe it was from that time that Aizen never walked by his side like other vice-captains, or chattered endlessly behind him.

Most of the time, he chooses to keep quiet behind him, and occasionally complains, and the days go by bit by bit.

"Even so", this sentence should be said by him.The relationship between them is getting more delicate day by day.While enjoying the care of the vice-captain, while indulging himself in his tenderness, he never thought what Aizen would think about what he did that day.

He just wanted Aizen to stay by his side forever and behind him forever.Aizen doesn't need to worry about other things, just leave everything to himself.

However, on that moonlit night, hearing his vice-captain mocking his own stupidity while complaining and thanking him for his distrust, he felt unprecedentedly at a loss.

He didn't know who to blame, and he didn't know who to hate. At least at that moment, he couldn't tell whether the partner lying on the ground should be responsible for Aizen or him.

Yes, as Aizen said, it was because of his "distrust" that this result was caused.

When looking back, Lan Ran's eyes, which stood there dazedly, were complicated and difficult to discern.Thinking about it carefully, it was Aizen's sense of peace of mind caused by his distrust of him, because in this way he could deceive his captain at will without being discovered by the captain; there was also the deep sorrow that gushed out because of his distrust , Obviously whether in battle or in life, the deputy captain and the captain have the most contact, but in the end he doesn't allow him to stand by his side. For the proud him, is it a kind of sad denial?

——All scenes gradually disappeared, and finally turned into black.Waking up from the memory, he remembered that he was still in a battle before, and at this moment there was only nothingness in front of him, which was very strange.

I am, dead?

Slowly opened his eyes, the whole body was pure white.

There was no pain in his body, and he couldn't feel Xu's Reiatsu, and he couldn't even feel his own Reiatsu. He lost all his strength, and he seemed to be floating in the air.He couldn't think in his head, and there was nothing in front of him except a piece of pure white.

Even so, he suddenly felt relieved.

"Mako-kun."

A gentle, familiar voice with hidden worries sounded above his head.

There is warmth all around, and the flow of life seems to have stopped.A steady stream of spiritual power poured into his body, Hirako raised his head and met those eyes.

"Hey, Sousuke..."

Even though he was still weak, Pingzi grinned persistently and sneered: "What's the matter with your eyes, they are so ugly..."

"is it?"

Aizen smiled at him very gently: "As long as I can hold you in my arms, it's not too much to appear in any posture, right?"

Behind him, a huge spiritual pressure burst out and turned into a strong white light.He vaguely heard the howling sound outside, and couldn't help squinting his eyes because of the stimulation of the light.

"Close your eyes and hold me tight, Mako-kun."

Aizen wrapped one hand around Hirako's waist, and clasped him in her arms.As if passing through more than 100 years of time, Hirako felt the temperature of his body, and the lips he gently leaned over to her ear.The warm breath in his ear made his already calm heartbeat speed up again.He slowly raised his arm, the knife in his hand did not loosen, but he used his arm to wrap around Aizen's back with very light force.

"...All of this will end soon."

At an angle that Pingzi couldn't see, Lan Ran frowned, and the mirror flower and water moon in the other hand waved out in front of him. And the deep wound caused by the released sword pressure.

After that, he still had a lot to say to Aizen.

Burying his head on Aizen's neck, he sighed softly.

"what happened?"

Lifting the knife, small purple balls of spiritual power began to gather in front of the knife tip.Feeling the sigh at the neck, Aizen glanced down at the top of Hirako's head.

"It's embarrassing to feel saved by you, probably."

He didn't die, and the person who saved him was Aizen. After saying this, he didn't hear Aizen's reply, but felt the spiritual pressure behind him seem to be surging and gathering.

Hearing Hirako's weak voice complaining so much, Aizen's smile finally melted in his eyes, and at the same time, his eyes gradually returned to normal brown, and his hair broke in the air.All the spiritual power is gathered in the small ball in front of the knife tip, it doesn't look like a ghost, and it doesn't look like a false flash.

That was the skill he acquired when relying on Beng Yu to evolve. In the final form, he gathered spiritual power and released the Radiant Breaker. Although Urahara had suppressed Beng Yu's power and use time to a certain extent, this blow was enough to knock this giant virtual eradication.

However, now he neither thought about Kisuke Urahara, nor did he pay attention to the Daixu in front of him, nor did he think carefully about the relationship between his own power and the seal.Because what I want the most is in my arms at this moment, there is no need to make extra thoughts.

Aizen turned her head and carefully kissed Hirako's golden hair.

The Radiant Poison in front of the knife tip bombarded out at the same time, and when it touched Daxu, it emitted a strong light, and the purple light enveloped Daxu, and the violent explosion sounded in the air.Using the last Bengyu's strength, Lanran erected a single shield in front of him, isolating the impact of the sound waves, and slowly landed on the school's roof with Pingzi in his arms.

All this happened only 3 minutes after Tianma Chizuru threw the knife.

With Xu's disappearance, the purple reflection film and Xu's spiritual pressure gradually disappeared, and the figure of Aizen who disappeared in front of them just now appeared in front of everyone after the strong white light dissipated.

No one heard what was said between them, and no one saw Aizen's soft kiss on Hirako's head.

But the look in Aizen's eyes at this moment was displayed in front of everyone.Without other words, the warmth and ease in the eyes are enough to explain everything.

Lan Ran put the knife back into its sheath, and didn't spare half of the vision for the people below.On the contrary, Hirako seemed to have escaped from the state of unconsciousness, and the breathing he sprayed on his neck became smoother.

"Blue dye."

"Ok?"

"...Well, what, I just called you."

"Ah, so."

All kinds of mixed spiritual pressure slowly dissipated with Daxu's disappearance, Aizen's hand clasped around Pingzi's waist showed no sign of letting go, and Pingzi didn't struggle either.The two of them just stood on the dilapidated roof of the school. The breeze blew by, cooling the restlessness caused by the battle just now, but they couldn't stop the beating heart.

Neither of them could see the other's expression now, but they still stood in place tacitly, and Hirako Mako couldn't help tightening the strength on her arms.

"Don't you have anything to say?" Pingzi asked in a muffled voice.Because of his Kansai accent, his words sounded a little casual, but Aizen knew it wasn't like that.

The brown-haired man raised his other arm, wrapping it around his back as well.

"Makoto-kun, what do you want me to say?"

"..."

The other party was still stubbornly silent, and Aizen also knew how stupid he had just said.However, in this confrontation, there is no winner, only two people admit defeat to each other.

"Great." Muttering, Aizen gently closed her eyes, turned her head to kiss the soft golden hair on top of Hirako's head.

"Mako-kun... also likes me."

Just like that night that he once thought had no future, the moon hanging high in the sky, and the fragrance of flowers brought by the breeze.

The sky in Karaza was an open and bright blue, and clouds drifted slowly over their heads.Suddenly another gust of wind blew over, and he looked down to see the other party's somewhat damaged gray windbreaker, and the broken hem was gently lifted by the wind.

"……fool."

After saying this, he heard a mocking chuckle from the person in his arms.Immediately afterwards, the sound of the knife falling to the ground sounded, and he completely put his weight in Aizen's arms and lost consciousness.
