shadow of nothingness

But for some reason, that person didn't feel very good to her.

The knife on his waist seemed to indicate something, and he should run away in such a situation, but Qianqian couldn't move at all.

The trembling of the body could not be stopped at all, so I had to stand helplessly watching the person getting closer and closer.

"Are you new? You don't seem to be in good condition."

The man's voice was unexpectedly gentle, and there was a smile in his black eyes.

This person seems to be different from what she imagined...

Qianqian thought so, but still stared nervously at the other party.

"Don't worry, I'm the god of death, and I'll take you back to where you should go." The man said and slowly pulled out the knife from his waist.

The blade of the knife looked a little dazzling under the sunlight, and Qianqian's body trembled even more. She bit her lip and restrained the fear in her heart, "Death, death?"

"Ah," the man nodded, "The next place I'm going to send you to is the Soul Realm, where dead people like you live." After speaking, the man raised the knife in his hand.

"Wait a minute!" Qianqian quickly stretched out a hand, as if trying to stop the man's behavior.

"Any questions?"

"That..." Swallowed unconsciously, Qianqian took a step back cautiously, slightly increasing the distance between herself and the other party. "You, what do you mean by not being in a good condition just now?" Reminiscent of Ichigo and Xia Li's sudden inability to see her condition before, Qianqian suddenly had an ominous premonition.

Could it be that what he said was...

The man sighed softly, "Well, I'm not too busy anyway, so please explain."

"It stands to reason that after death, you should be sent to the Soul Realm immediately. Although I don't know why you were not sent there. But if you stay in this world for a long time, you may become empty, so you should go there obediently." The man's explanation was brief, and he raised the knife in his hand again after briefly mentioning it lightly.

"Wait a little longer!"

"What is it this time..."

"You said that if you stay here for too long, you will become void. What is that void?"

For some reason, Qianqian suddenly thought of the senior who had disappeared not long ago, and looked at him nervously, for fear of missing half of the information.

"Really...No, according to your thinking, it's probably a monster or something."

"Monster..." His pupils constricted instantly, and Qianqian looked shocked, "Then that ghost that suddenly disappeared overnight turned into that monster named Xu!"

His red eyes stared straight at the other party, and he clenched his hands tightly.

After listening to Qianqian finished her previous story, the god of death thought for a while and said, "I haven't encountered the situation you mentioned very much. The whole thing may have become empty, or it may be sent by the god of death stationed nearby. It’s not necessarily true that you’ve gone to the Soul Realm.”

"Is that so..." Because of the other party's uncertainty, Qianqian looked a little depressed.But on second thought, there is still some hope.

"Your question is over," Reaper once again raised the knife in his hand, but was stopped by Qianqian again, anyone would feel annoyed in this situation.The Grim Reaper glared at Qianqian angrily, "You're such a hassle! It's not about beheading you, but poking your head with the handle of the knife!"

"Hey..." Touching her head, she smiled a little embarrassedly.

I knew in my heart that no matter what, I would be sent to that place called Soul World by the person who claimed to be the God of Death, but it seemed that I was not willing to do so.Qianqian boldly said, "Well, can you let me say goodbye to my friend?"

Although she had a faint premonition before and left a message for Ichigo.But... as expected, I still hope to say it myself.

Ignoring the faint throbbing pain in my heart, I smiled lightly.

Ichigo stayed alone in the room for a long time, but he never saw Qianqian walk into his room.

"Strange...what did that guy do..."

Putting down the pen in his hand, Ichigo frowned and went straight to the window, stuck his head out and looked down.

Qianqian was standing on the street, opposite her was a person in black clothes.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Ichigo yelled involuntarily.

Hearing the familiar voice, Qianqian raised her head, smiled at Ichigo, and opened her mouth to say something.

But a new voice came from my ear, "No, I'm impatient!"

Before Qianqian could react, there was a cold touch on her forehead.

The body seemed to become very strange, Qianqian lowered her head, watching her body gradually turn into water-blue particles.

Tears didn't know when they fell from the eyes, and he tried his best to raise his head, and smiled at the shocked Ichigo.

"Shallow!"

"...Kurosaki-kun, this is the first time you called me by my name."

Although he couldn't hear her voice clearly from a distance, Ichigo understood her words for some reason.

The hand holding on to the window suddenly let go, his pupils constricted, and Ichigo turned around and ran downstairs as fast as he could with all his strength.

"Brother Yihu, what were you doing just now?"

"What's wrong, Brother Ichigo, your face looks ugly..."

Ignoring the words of the two younger sisters, Ichigo ran straight to the entrance, opened the door and ran out.

However, it was too late.

There was no one on the street, only some weird water-blue particles floating in the air.

"..." As if all the strength in his body had been emptied suddenly, Ichigo leaned against the wall a little weakly. "That idiot...it's not the first time."

【Gone...】

Suddenly seeing JUMP on the ground, Ichigo knew very clearly that it was the one he bought for Qianqian just now.

Bend down and pick it up.Then gently opened it, and some distorted handwriting immediately came into view.

[Thank you for your care these days, Kurosaki-kun. 】

【I...may disappear soon...】

[But Kurosaki-kun will definitely not be sad, because Kurosaki-kun has always found me annoying, and I must be happy that I disappeared, for sure! 】

【Kurosaki-kun is a very gentle person, although he doesn't show it in his mouth and face.I like such a gentle Kurosaki-kun... Ahaha, of course I was joking! 】

[Say goodbye to You Zijiang and Xia Li for me, and be happy all the time! 】

【clear water, shallow】

"That idiot... Qingshui, Qianqian."

"Who would be happy...in this way."

"After becoming a Buddha, don't be self-willed..."

Ichigo turned his head and walked in the direction of his home.Holding the JUMP just now in his hand, his fingertips turned slightly white due to too much force.

The expression on his face was still the same as usual, and the low voice spread out in the air, "Goodbye..."
