[Reaper Lanping] Dark River

A nest of maggots.

Byakuya Kuchiki knew about this place after he took office as the captain.The detention center, where the unqualified among the qualified ones are held, is at the same time... also one of the means that some nobles can use when fighting for their interests.

In Jinglingting, no matter what class of nobles they are, there will always be one or two members of the family who work as gods of death in the thirteenth squadron of the guarding court, or take up positions in the group of ghosts.If it is the head of the family, it will also rely on the qualifications of working in the 46th team or the ghosts to be promoted to room [-] in the end.

In the battle of nobles, if you can't find the other party's handle, throwing them into the nest of maggots is also a way.

Before he became the captain, Byakuya Kuchiki didn't know much about the joints in it—it wasn't until Kuchiki Yinling revealed the last dark side that he realized that there was indeed such a place in Jingling Court existing.

In addition to those civilians who only magnify their threats, there are many warriors and truly powerful people who are imprisoned here.The most famous person who came out from here is Nirvana Mayuri.

At this moment, in the cloud of smoke and dust, between the bodies of the prisoners lying on the ground, stood a person.Qianbenzakura began to unravel, and the sharp cherry blossom petals swept away the smoke and dust in front of him, and that person slowly turned around.

Dark skin, golden eyes, dark purple hair - Byakuya Kuchiki's eyes widened slightly.

"...Are you from the Kuchiki family?"

The man chuckled and turned around.It is indeed not an exaggeration to use the word handsome to describe this person.Just standing there, one can feel the faint sense of strength in that slender figure.Just standing there, Kuchiki Byakuya knew that this person was definitely not someone who could be subdued casually.

"Are you from the Sifeng Courtyard family?"

"I'm afraid a noble surname like Sifengyuan is not suitable for me."

That person sneered, but he didn't completely deny his connection with Sifengyuan's family.His long hair was tied loosely in a bunch at the back, and his white prison clothes were also tattered.Before everyone could react, his figure disappeared from the field of vision - just in the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Kuchiki Byakuya.

"You brought these people here..."

In the dark golden eyes, there was an undisguised blood-red murderous intent.

"Is it buried with you?"

As soon as the words fell, the secret mobile members around Byakuya Kuchiki fell down one after another.Bai Zai looked down, and there was a thin line of blood oozing from the middle of the necks of those people.He brought down only nine people, and the person in front of him only took about a second to kill all nine of them, and distanced himself from him.The petals of Senbon Sakura gathered around him again, holding back the anger in his heart, Kuchiki Byakuya looked directly at his opponent.

"What's the relationship between you and the family of Sifengyuan?"

Such a speed cannot be achieved if it is just a Reaper or a member of a secret maneuver who receives ordinary training.

The man in front of him moved his too thin wrist and ankle, and dropped the murder weapon just now.The thin stone fragments fell to the ground, the man put away the smile on his face and rushed towards Bai Zai.The wave of Senbon Sakura blocked the man's attack, and Kuchiki Byakuya stood quietly on the spot without any panic.

——It was just a sudden pain in his shoulder that made him aware of something strange.

"Your knife is special."

The man's voice sounded again.

After Qianbenzakura cut off his line of sight, under the wrapping of petals all over the sky, Byakuya could hear the similarities between this person and Yeichi and Yushiro just by listening to the voice.Different from the voice that is always full of energy, this person's voice hides a sharp indifference, as if he was rejecting others when he opened his mouth.

It is true that Sifengyuan, as one of the four great nobles, manages secret maneuvers, and the head of the family must also have extraordinary strength.However, as a big noble, there must also be a branch family. The descendants of these people have served the family for generations, and as the killer of the family, they have done some shameful things.

While the cherry blossoms were dancing, Byakuya Kuchiki saw a place in the distance, broken handcuffs and shackles.I'm afraid that man has been in for a while, that's why the wrists and ankles are too slender - that's the proof of being bound all the time.This man grew up here.

after all……

A man like a beast is lurking outside.After a long time of not being able to hear the sound, the cherry blossom barrier was a little looser, making it easier for Kuchiki Byakuya to observe the situation outside.

"Your task is to come down and check the abnormalities here?"

Byakuya Kuchiki turned sideways, facing the direction from which the voice came.The voice continued: "That's right, I killed the first batch of secret maneuvers that entered here, and so did the prisoners here."

In other words, those prisoners who were lying in disorder had already turned into corpses.Standing in the middle of a group of corpses, even though he knew that most of the people inside did come to this place because of their incompetence, Kuchiki Byakuya still felt extremely disgusted with this kind of mass killing.Most of these prisoners also wear shackles or handcuffs, and collars used to suppress Reiatsu.In his pride, killing someone who can't resist like this is absolutely not allowed.

From observation, this person's harness was forcibly destroyed from the outside, rather than being opened by himself.Other than this person, the real mastermind behind the scenes should still be outside.

With a wave of Kuchiki Byakuya's hand, the wave of cherry blossoms filled with murderous intent attacked the source of the sound, and scattered one after another.This person's Reiatsu is still in the maggot's nest, but the cherry blossoms are flying everywhere, and there is no sign of this person anywhere.

There is only one possibility, the speed of this person is already faster than Qianben Sakura's movement speed.No wonder other prisoners only had shackles or handcuffs, and were even able to move freely, but this man had a full set of restraints.

The man didn't make any more sound, but the ever-increasing shallow wounds made Kuchiki Byakuya realize that this man was a professional killer.But why keep hurting him and not trying to kill him?Is it his mission, or is he just kidding himself?And judging from his clean strikes, he doesn't seem like someone who can play tricks on the target.

"Captain Deadwood!"

After a soft sound caused by movement, another group of secret mobile members came to the nest of maggots, Kuchiki Byakuya frowned and raised his voice: "Don't come over!"

"……Humph."

After hearing this sentence, the man stopped moving at high speed instead, and faced Kuchiki Byakuya, frowning.

"hypocritical."

"……what?"

"Are you a nobleman? Isn't your mission this time to try your best to kill those who make trouble here?"

The man's dark golden eyes were full of sarcasm.

"As you saw just now, your strength alone is not enough to find my flaws—it's good to let those bugs down, maybe you can find my weakness in the interval between attacking me."

"boring."

The petals of the cherry blossoms swept across the place where the man stopped in an instant, but the cherry blossoms dispersed, leaving only a pit on the ground.

"Isn't that what nobles do? Sacrifice these bugs to achieve their own honor."

The man appeared behind him in an instant, and let go of his fingertips.

Kuchiki Byakuya was slightly startled when he saw the murder weapon that the man had just attacked him.

A thin cherry blossom petal fell from the man's bleeding finger.From the beginning of the attack, the man stole a blade from his thousand cherry blossoms, and it was this blade that caused so much damage to Byakuya—it may also be because the blade was too thin, so the opponent didn't find a chance Can kill himself with this awkward weapon.

Just about to say something more, suddenly the ceiling shook violently.As if he had been given some new order, the man jumped up and attacked Kuchiki Byakuya.In less than half a second, he was already within Qianbenying's uninjured circle—the man with a short lower body accumulating energy looked up at him coldly, then raised his leg and kicked him in the face.Bai Zai raised his hand and blocked the blow in time.

After missing the first blow, the man jumped up again and kicked another blow to his head.With the arm of the hand holding the hilt, Kuchiki Byakuya blocked the top of his head.In an instant, the impact of the man's strike pushed him down hard into the floor.The surrounding floor with him as the center was thus shattered.

Seeing that his attack didn't work, the man flew out in an instant, rushing towards the door guarded by the secret mobile team members.Before the other team members had time to see his movements clearly, they only felt a gust of wind around him.

Thus the man escaped from the nest of maggots.

Outside, Mako Hirako was panting half-kneeled at the entrance, and the haori on her body was also showing signs of damage.

"not bad."

Yu Zuoming looked down at the embarrassed man, and his voice was full of pleasure: "I can't even prevent my own false flashes - it can be seen that you really want to kill me with all your heart."

At the moment of rushing over, Pingzi gave up chanting, and even gave up the Ghost Dao, and directly issued a broken air, blocking the entrance.

If this blow really hits upwards, not to mention the entire entrance will collapse, and the space inside will also be in jeopardy.

Just abandoning the Duankong of chant, it is not enough to prevent the false flash under his full strength blow.

"Hmph, you're pretty good at dodging."

Hirako staggered to his feet, with his hands on his shoulders.Under Misaki's gaze, the wound that was impossible to heal was slowly healed.

"what happened?"

This is impossible.Hirako Mako read this clearly from Misaki's eyes.It is impossible to heal the wound cut by Tiancongyun, which is why it is called the magic sword.

"you do not need to know."

Holding the handle of the knife with both hands, Hirako Mako rushed forward.

In the case that the other party is a cloud of black mist, I really don't know if the other party has a sense of smell.In this case, he can't be sure whether the ability of reverse brush will be activated smoothly after the initial solution.It is the best choice to hold the other party and wait for reinforcements now, he thought so, and took the initiative to meet the blade, and fought with Yu Zuoming.

When he didn't notice for a while, another deep scar was drawn on Pingzi's left arm.He backed away from Yu Zuoming, put his fingers on the wound, and after a while, his arm that had been cut and injured recovered smooth and smooth.

"Impossible...it's impossible..."

Misaki, who witnessed all this, rushed forward screaming like crazy.Holding the knife with one hand, Hirako blocked Misaki's blow with clenched teeth.

"Impossible! That guy Aizen! Did that guy Aizen give you the power of Bengyu?!"

The power of collapsing jade?In other words, the power of Beng Yu can compete with this knife.

"Well, who knows? You look like you know everything... why don't you come and guess?"

While saying this, Hirako grasped the hilt of the knife again with his left hand, and swung Misaki away.When the blade cut through the black mist, Pingzi felt that his own knife had indeed encountered resistance, and the opponent was also afraid of his own blade, so he retreated quickly after he hit it.

After blurring, the more you fight, the calmer your mind becomes.Different from other people's state of madness after virtualization, Hirako discovered this since the night of virtualization.As long as you control it with your heart, you can use the power of virtualization to exert two to four times the usual ability.

While concentrating on dealing with Misaki, he sharply saw a black figure jumping out from the entrance of the maggot nest.

That's not Kuchiki Byakuya.

"Captain Pingzi!"

At the same time, Yushiro's shout sounded behind him.

The moon reappeared from behind the clouds, and under the moonlight, the black shadow that had just emerged was caught by Pingzi's peripheral vision.Looking carefully, the man was somewhat similar to Yushiro, both with black skin and dark golden eyes.

After hearing Yushiro's shout, Hirako felt bad.Sure enough, after hearing Xishiro's voice, the beautiful man frowned, and killing intent suddenly burst out from his body.

"Yushiro!"

Flying to block the way of that person's attack, Yushiro Sifengin and Momo Hina who came later saw this scene.

The left arm was raised to block the man's fist, and the right hand raised the knife to block the attack of the unknown shadow.Under the attack from both sides, Pingzi knelt on one knee, trying to support himself.The feathers of the Fifth Division slowly stopped fluttering, and blood was stained on the torn sleeves.

"Broken Road 31, Red Cannon!"

Xiaotao, who came back to her senses first, uttered ghostly expressions at the dark-skinned man.Pingzi withdrew his arm in time, and the red cannon roared and flew over, hitting a big tree.Trees fell with a crash, and the man stepped away panting, with burn marks on one arm.Pingzi, who was empty-handed, turned his head and shouted at the two people who came one step ahead: "Quick back!"

However, at this moment, Misaki swung his knife and slashed at his back.

The Chinese characters on the back of the white feather weave were cut diagonally, and blood gushed out.

Pingzi took a deep breath, dizzy for a while.

Under the moonlight, Yushiro, who saw the dark-skinned man clearly, also widened his eyes in shock.

Pingzi put his left hand on his back, and the wound on his back quickly disappeared after a while.

"impossible……"

Misaki backed up again and again in the air.Human voices came from the direction where Liuche Quanxi left in the forest just now, as well as in the maggot's nest, and behind Hinamori and Yushiro.

"Let's retreat first, Tiger City."

"makes sense."

After calming down, Misaki landed beside the man.The man grabbed the shadow and jumped onto the branch.

"Wait a moment!"

Yushiro, who came back to his senses, just wanted to catch up, but Hirako stretched out his arm to block him.

"No, you can't beat that person."

The words seemed to be squeezed out of Hirako's teeth. He looked up at the two people and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"As expected of the captain."

After the man left these words, he disappeared in front of the crowd who had been late.

Hirako looked up at the place where they disappeared, still squinting her eyes.

"team leader?"

Chu Sen stepped forward worriedly, but suddenly found something unusual.

The exposed skin, which seemed to have no scars, was filled with colorful lights.

"This is……"

Pingzi lifted the blur, his face was pale under the moonlight, then he slowly lowered his head and looked at Chu Sen.

"Peach... from now on... I'll leave it to you."

Hirako, who looked like his clothes were just torn in places, slowly knelt down.Holding the ground with one hand, panting, tremblingly said: "That person's name... His name is Toruya Toragi... The other one... Judging by Yushiro's expression, he should know it, right?"

Turning his head to smile at Yushiro who was still in shock, Hirako seemed to want to say something, but closed his eyes and fell into Hina Mori's arms.

"team leader……??!!"

Colorful lights rose from Hirako's body, and Hirako's eyes widened in horror.

The deep wounds on the back were soaked with the big Chinese character "five" on the white feather weave.

"team leader!!!!"

"That's Captain Pingzi's Dao-Binding Curved Light used to confuse the opponent, covering up the wound on his body, pretending that he can heal quickly."

At this point, Hinamori tried her best to hold back her tears, and looked at Aizen and Ichigo pleadingly.

"Currently the captain is in the special care unit of the fourth team... The wound on his body will not heal no matter what..."

Ichigo gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, while Aizen just knelt on the tatami and closed his eyes quietly.

Not only the culprit who hurt his own sisters, but also Hirako.Ichigo wished he could rush out to find that person named Yusaoaki now.But Aizen was still sitting beside him, not intending to get up.

"What about other things?" Aizen continued to ask her.

Chu Sen also tried his best to calm down his mood, holding the fabric of the skirt pants tightly, and said after a while: "The other things are left to the [-]th and [-]rd teams to deal with, and the [-]th team is now . . . and I will direct the work."

"Thanks for your hard work."

Lan Ran opened her eyes, nodded to her, and then suddenly said: "Someone is coming, I will avoid it for a while."

In Ichigo's eyes, Aizen still sat there without moving, but looking at Hina Mori's gaze, Aizen seemed to disappear from her eyes in an instant.

"Vice-Captain Hina Mori?"

The person who came was Nanao Ise, the current deputy captain of the first team.Seeing Kurosaki Ichigo in the Japanese room, she was obviously taken aback.

"Why are you here?" She asked Kurosaki Ichigo coldly, "Squad [-] should have completely sealed off the boundary, how did you come here?"

Ichigo scratched his head, a little at a loss: "Um, Urahara sent me here... Both of our Zanpakuto couldn't open the world-transmitting gate, so he sent me over to see what happened in Soul Soul Realm look."

"That's true, Vice Captain Ise." Hina Mori said seriously, without the flustered and sad expression she had when talking about Hirako just now, "After I found out that there was an unknown spiritual pressure here in the fifth team, I set up an enchantment, I came here to check it out myself, and I just recounted what happened to Kurosaki-kun."

Aizen's figure reappeared in front of Hinamori, but Ise Nanao still didn't seem to see Aizen.Nodding to Hina Mori, Aizen calmly looked at Nanao Ise with a serious face.

"That's right, thank you for your hard work, Vice Captain Hina Mori."

After nodding to Chimori, Nanao Ise said to Ichigo: "Come with me, the captain wants to see you."

"Huh? Me?"

"As soon as your Reiatsu appeared, the people from the [-]th Division captured it." Nanao said, stretched out her hand and pushed her glasses, "Since you are here, we also have a heartfelt request, I hope you can help us together To deal with Tetsuya Tiger City."

"Tiger City... who is that?" Ichigo blinked, obviously not yet able to react.Isn't that person called Misaki?

Thinking of something, Nanao nodded to him: "According to Captain Hitsugaya, this person is also called Misakaaki—anyway, come with me first, and I will explain the current situation to you on the way."

Watching Ise Nanao take Kurosaki Ichigo away, Aizen looked calmly at Hina Mori who stood up to send them out, and said, "I'll go to the fourth team."

"Captain Aizen?"

When the two of them got along, they couldn't help but blurt out the old names again.However, neither Aizen nor Hinata paid any attention to this matter at the moment.

"I'll go and see the captain, Hina Mori-kun will stay here and preside over the work."

While speaking, Aizen put on his shoes and walked outside.

"Please be careful." Chisen added worriedly, "The fourth team has recruited a lot of newcomers, Captain Aizen..."

"Relax, Hina Mori-kun."

After leaving a comforting smile, the light of ghosts appeared in Aizen's hands.Slowly, the colorful light covered him, and soon Chu Sen could no longer tell where the scenery was, and where the curved light was camouflaging.

"Captain Pingzi..."

Aizen's voice in the air did not fluctuate at all.

But just the unwavering voice made Chu Sen, who was standing on the corridor, couldn't help tightening his hand on the door frame.She clasped one hand tightly to her chest, looking at the scenery in front of her, with worry in her eyes.After looking at it for a while, she reached out to remove the barrier, and walked towards the office area of ​​the Fifth Division.
