half soul

Toshirō Hitsugaya stands on the roof of his Juban hut.He cupped his hands, and the feathers flew behind him.Looking around, the Jingling Court, and even the entire corpse soul world, was peaceful and peaceful.All people, things, and things have escaped from the shadow of the Winter War, and are moving towards a more distant future in Vientiane.

He thought, using my ice wheel pills in exchange for the peace of your soul, is it a gain or a loss?

It's like having a balance, always weighing in the bottom of my heart, what can be lost in order to get something, and what can be exchanged for what to pay.

Is it enough to see?

First of all, Toshiro Hitsugaya is not a selfish person.Those who participated in the Winter War could not even take their lives, what can they do if they lose a knife.What's more, he was already "dead".Everything now is considered lost and recovered, life, existence, and Zanpakuto.He won't be bothered to keep these things again.However, he is the captain of Goutei [-]th Division, and the responsibility of the captain is like an innate instinct. He will instinctively consider whether his actions will have an impact on the soul world.

The question he was thinking about was, if one day, or even now, the battle in the soul world started at any time, and the world would be turned upside down at any time, then would he be able to let go of the king of ice and snow so easily?

To make him give up his sword may only be limited to times of peace and prosperity, only when his sword does not need to be unsheathed.

Fortunately, the world is at peace now.

So when Xia Li fell into a coma again, he stretched out his fingers to pick up Xia Li's hair, and the black hair flowed through his fingertips and fell on the cheeks of a person who was sleeping peacefully.He could no longer tolerate the situation where he allowed that person to pass out without knowing when, that was an inexcusable sin due to his existence.Hitsugaya Toshiro finally got up and came to Captain Unokana's door.

"What should I do to close my inner world?"

With his back turned to him, Uzhi Huaretsu turned around, and the black braids on his chest slightly raised a slight arc.She burst into a beautiful smile, just like her frustrating gentleness for thousands of years.

"I knew you would come, Captain Hitsugaya. You've already made up your mind, haven't you?"

Hitsugaya nodded.

"In order to keep you away from the inner world, I will do everything I can to reduce your spiritual pressure to the level of ordinary people. Because you can no longer pick up the Zanpakutō, you can't even do ordinary Shinigami...you ..." Uozhihualie looked at those ice-like cold green eyes, where a frozen flame was burning quietly, "Are you really thinking about it?"

Hitsugaya Toshiro nodded again.The young man slightly closed his eyes, his voice drowned in the silent peace.

"It's already... I don't need to take a knife anymore."

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

"You, who are you?"

Rukia's purple eyes were fixed on the person opposite, and the sleeves in her hands were tightly tightened.

The person opposite stood high in the sky, with black hair and black eyes, a pair of bottomless eyes were star-heavy and mighty, shining cold and clear light in the night of the empty seat.The wind blew through the short black hair, and it swayed slightly to cover the eyes, but it couldn't hide the sharpness.He was wearing a clear gray and narrow windbreaker, and when the sleeves fluttered, a little silver scabbard was exposed at the waist.The moonlight cleared away, and the eyes with disdainful eyes flowed arrogantly, like an emperor, lowered his eyebrows and lingered on the ground.

Rukia had never seen anyone with such a strong sense of presence.

And that person's spiritual pressure is really too strong.He just stood there casually, without deliberately suppressing it, Rukia could feel his body becoming dull and cold sweat slipping down.I will bow my head unconsciously.If that person is an enemy, a hundred of them are not enough to die.

Even after fighting one after another, becoming stronger little by little, he was still too weak to raise his hand in front of that person.

She gritted her teeth and clenched the weapon in her hand, the cold light insisted on locking the unknown opponent from afar.

But the man didn't have the slightest intention to fight, he just shook his head lightly. "I won't attack you, God of Death." He raised his head and turned his head in a certain direction. "It seems that your companion is coming soon. In order not to cause trouble, I left first."

In that direction, Kurosaki Ichigo's Reiatsu was rapidly approaching.

"What's your purpose?!" Rukia frowned and shouted.

The man gently pulled the corners of his mouth, and his domineering smile was like a vortex, so turbulent that it was hard to extricate himself from it.In the next instant, that person disappeared.Rukia didn't even see how he left, her eyes were blank.Immediately afterwards, the orange-haired boy Shunpo appeared beside her.

"Lukia, where's the person?" Ichigo's face showed the chill and awareness of a powerful enemy.She was very familiar with this expression.

She opened her mouth, not knowing whether her tone should be relaxed or more entangled. "left already."

"Aren't you hurt?"

Rukia shook her head, looked at the direction where the man disappeared, and narrowed Amethyst's pupils slightly.

It turns out that Big Brother Bai Zai sent himself to investigate in the present world, and he really has a lot to say.Such an inexplicably powerful person will not appear in the empty seat for no reason.What is the reason for that person not to attack Shinigami, and what is the purpose of coming to the empty seat, I don't understand at all... Besides, the one on his waist...is Zanpakuto...

Exactly... what will happen here...

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

"But according to your description, I can't think of such a person at all. Or I'll go and look up the information in the world of corpses and souls." Sifengyuan Ye Yi crossed his hands and sat cross-legged.The people sent to investigate the empty seats all gathered at the Urahara store to exchange information.

"The records in Soul World are probably incomplete and untrue." The owner of the Urahara store spread his hands, with a nonchalant tone, "And there are many records that were secretly destroyed and tampered with."

Like a nest of maggots, all things that cannot see the light will hide in the ground, gradually rotting in the darkness.

It is precisely because they have been familiar with walking in the gap between light and darkness that they can understand these biting realities.

Ye Yi glanced at the store manager whose expression was inversely proportional to his tone of voice, and his golden pupils shone brightly. "Don't worry Kisuke, I know where to look."

"I think he seems to be on some mission." Rukia frowned, stretched out her fingers and pinched her chin, "and...maybe...has already completed..."

Otherwise, it wouldn't have appeared without hiding it.

But, obviously possessing such powerful power, why did he want to avoid the god of death before?

Isn't... isn't it an enemy?

Or... are you waiting for your time?

"The reason for appearing here is probably directly related to the fact that Kongzuo is a heavy spirit land. The many incidents in Kongzuo actually happened because of this reason." Urahara's sharp eyes scanned the circle of people around the warming table.Of all the people sent out this time, only Rukia came into contact with that mysterious person.Although this spiritual pressure had appeared in the empty seat many times before, no one could arrive in time.Perhaps this time, it should be said that he deliberately appeared in front of Rukia.

It is impossible for such a powerful person to appear without warning.

It is impossible to appear in an accident-prone place like Kongza without a purpose.

"Lukia," Yoichi stood up, his long purple hair flung handsomely on his back, "you follow me back to Soul Society. I'll check Mao's records, and you report to Byakuya. The rest continue Act and get in touch anytime."

"That's it. Mr. Kurosaki," Urahara snapped the paper fan in his hand, touched Kurosaki Ichigo who was directly opposite, and then swept aside, "The empty seats still need you guys to continue patrolling. And, finally Let’s find out if there’s anything special about the places that person stayed.” As if seeing Ichigo’s raised eyebrows, the store manager added, “Don’t worry, I’ve written down those places.”

Ishida, Inoue and Chadu all nodded.Having experienced the Winter War, these people who are Ichigo's partners and live in the empty seat have also become the right-hand man to protect this place.

Kurosaki Ichigo stood up and left, his eyes filled with fighting intent.All he wanted was to find the mighty guy and tell him that if he was going to do harm to this place, he had to physically feel the regret that he ever set foot on this land.

This is not any place, it is an empty seat.

And he Kurosaki Ichigo, not just anyone, is the guardian of Karakuza.

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

"Hey, Hua Taro?" When Xia Li woke up, she saw the seventh seat of the fourth team sitting in the ward, guarding her side.

Seeing that she was awake, Huataro hurriedly handed her a glass of water.She has also been getting along for some time, and she knows that Hua Taro is actually very gentle and shy.In front of him, you don't have to worry about anything, and you can ask anything you want to ask directly.And he can talk endlessly. In this regard, Hua Taro is still very reliable.

"Where is Winter Shiro?"

"I heard that Captain Hitsugaya went home to visit relatives."

"go home?"

"Yes, Captain Hitsugaya is from Ruhun Street." Hanataro reached out to take the cup that Xia Li handed back, "I used to go back to visit relatives when I was on vacation. And..." Hanataro obviously hesitated, "I don't know if I should say..."

As if realizing something, the girl on the bed suddenly turned her head and stared at him carefully.Anything that happened now could be the unspeakable truth that she was doubting, being concealed.

Since no one is willing to tell her directly.

That's fine, that's fine.She will rely on herself to think about it bit by bit.

...sometimes I'll figure something out.

"Tell me, Hanataro."

Hua Taro hesitated again, and he glanced at the door before speaking again. "The current Captain Hitsugaya has suppressed all his spiritual power and has become like an ordinary person... during the time you were unconscious."

Kurosaki Natsuri opened her eyes wide.

She forgot that she originally wanted to analyze the news she heard, but now she was simply overwhelmed by the news, so she couldn't think about anything.

"What..." She stood there in a daze, then clenched her teeth.

She thought almost angrily, are you an idiot, Toshiro Hitsugaya.

Never for no reason, right?

What kind of deal is this?What are you doing? !

With a soft bang, someone pushed open the door of the ward and walked in.Both of them looked away, the person who walked in the door blinked Amethyst's pupils, and showed a gentle smile to the two people in the room.

"Thank you for your hard work, Hanataro, now I will do it instead."

"Ah, Miss Lucia, have you returned yet? Then I won't bother you two."

When Hanataro respectfully closed the door, the person on the hospital bed couldn't wait to throw off the snow-white sheets and get off the bed.When Rukia looked at her movements with puzzled eyes, Xia Li said calmly.

"Rukia, take me to Ruukon Street."

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

At the same time, in a certain place far away on Liuhun Street, emergencies always come faster than anything else.

"Hitsugaya Toshiro." A cold voice sounded without warning.

A person appeared on that street without a sound, wearing a snow-white long gown, with his hands in his pockets, standing at random.Those dark green and cold pupils silently stared at the snow-haired boy not far in front of him.This voice is no stranger to Hitsugaya, Ulquiorra, the No. 4 person who did a lot of action before the Winter War.The powerful broken face suppressed all the spiritual pressure, and even Hitsugaya, who had turned into an ordinary person, did not feel any discomfort.

Yes, he has obeyed Captain Unokana's words and suppressed all of his spiritual pressure in order to seal his inner space.Using effective medicine and the wristband of the Technology Development Bureau that kept devouring spiritual pressure, he finally completed this matter, and since then he has been like an ordinary soul.Now, he is walking through Liuhun Street, preparing to return to Run Lin'an's home to visit his grandma.Probably, from now on he will live in Runlin'an instead of Jinglingting.

He once smiled and thought, how can he still stay among a group of death gods now that he is such a Reiatsu?I used to enjoy the powerful spiritual pressure peacefully, did I ever think that I would have today?

That person's voice rose suddenly, cutting off all Hitsugaya's thoughts.The young man turned his head slowly, and the expressionless person gradually fell into his eyes.

"how did you find me?"

It should be known that finding a person without spiritual pressure in the vast Liuhun Street is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

"I've been following you."

Hitsugaya took a deep breath.

No matter what he wants to do, the current self actually has no room to resist.Not at all.

Why do you have to go to a place where no one is there to reappear?

He closed his eyes, turned around and stood still, and looked at Ulquiola with his hands folded.

"Then... what's the point?"

In the eyes of Ulquiola, that calm look, even he began to be slightly moved by Hitsugaya Toshirō's calmness and fearlessness.He is obviously an ordinary person without Reiatsu, yet he is able to lift weights lightly when facing himself. Just looking at his demeanor, he is worthy of being the captain of the [-]th Division of the Gotei.He raised his hand slowly.

"This time, I want you to see something."

The left eye was taken out, and then it was grabbed violently.The dots of fragments glowed golden under the sun, and spread out with the wind in all directions.Certain images appeared in Hitsugaya's mind at that moment.This is Ulquiorra's ability, every picture has no possibility of falsehood or fabrication.

First of all, the huge and majestic architectural complex of the Xuye Palace stands in a remote sandy expanse. The gray sky and the vast field of vision faithfully outline the black and white of the virtual circle, which is vast and endless.The figure in the middle of the screen made Hitsugaya's eyes widen.The familiar snow-white haori, with the vigorous "one" on the back, is walking steadily towards Xuye Palace.The Flowing Blade Ruohuo knife has been unsheathed, and every step it takes, a raging fire will be rolled up behind it.

Absolutely strong.

Captain Yamamoto? !

Wait... Shouldn't he be going to the virtual circle?Isn't he always modeling empty seats? !

Should he... be dead too? !

Or... is this actually the image before the Winter War? !

The screen turned again.If it was said that Hitsugaya just opened his eyes wide in shock, then this time, he almost stopped breathing.The blood vessels in his whole body were almost frozen, and every breath was trembling uncontrollably due to anger.As far as the eye can see, the person imprisoned under the long and narrow window, bathed in moonlight, is dressed in a black death suit, and her dark purple hair trembles with every breath she takes.She raised her head and opened her eyes. There was peace in those dark eyes, but she threw a huge stone on someone's heart, and the agitation was unstoppable.

that face...

...How could he forget.

"Hina... Mori..."

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

Kurosaki Natsuri ran straight out of the No. [-] hospital, and just casually took a bathrobe to replace her white hospital gown.This place only has very traditional clothing like yukata.However, the conch red material with white and blue iris patterns made her feel that it was not bad to wear.

Rukia saw her standing at the border of Jingreitei and Ruukon Street, and when she stopped, she asked where Toshirō Hitsugaya was going back to.She just looked up at the vast and peaceful neighborhood in front of her, and pointed to a certain direction ahead.She knew the direction. No one in Xiliuhun Street knew the direction of Runlin'an in the first district.

"I only know that Captain Hitsugaya lives in Runlin'an. But I don't know where exactly." Then, she frowned slightly, raised her hand and twisted her chin, and said to herself with some confusion, "Okay Strange, why can't you feel the spiritual pressure?"

It's because that idiot has no Reiatsu anymore.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be in such a hurry to see him.

Xia Li twitched the corner of her mouth, revealing a wry smile.Something is tearing, peeling, and hurting.Although she didn't understand why it was.But she is hard to ignore no matter what, and she cannot be ignored.

That person's affairs are more important than the pain.

"Anyway, this time...Lukia, we have to find it by ourselves." She grabbed the sleeves of Rukia's black deadly dress and walked forward.

Liuhun Street contains almost all the souls of the Soul Soul World.Even if it is divided into blocks in four directions, even if each block is divided into eighty districts, it is still too difficult to find a person without spiritual pressure.Those ordinary residential areas and residents were constantly left behind when she walked by, and at a glance, they were laughing, cursing, and going through the world like a revolving lantern.A noisy and chaotic scene flashed by, and Xia Li had the illusion that Toshirō Hitsugaya was going to turn into a drop of water and join the torrent.I will never see myself again.

She clenched her fists lightly, feeling a cold numbness rushing from her fingertips to her heart, dyeing a large area of ​​her heart gray.The clear emerald pupils of the snow-haired boy flashed before her eyes, the warmth of him hugging her, the light when he kissed her forehead lightly, amidst those chaotic and suffocating memories, she began to struggle.

You won't leave me, will you?

You said it.

She stubbornly told herself to believe this sentence, but she couldn't wait any longer.

Because waiting is a hopeless and endless thing, she has enjoyed enough of that feeling and dreaded enough of that feeling.Don't, really don't.

"Excuse me, do you know Hitsugaya's house?"

"Do you know where Toshirō Hitsugaya lives?"

"Excuse me, do you know someone named Toshiro Hitsugaya?"

"Well, may I ask..."

Until the setting sun reclines, until it is dusk.Xu Shi hasn't asked about the vicinity of his residence yet, and all the answers he got were shaking his head, sorry, I don't know, I don't know, you should ask others.Xia Li just felt like this could not be repeated, her body was trembling slightly all the time, dripping with cold sweat.But she still insisted on walking to the next person, knocked on the door of the next house, and asked the same question with a smile on her face.

...and then, got the same answer.

Another one.Another one.

She had made up her mind a long time ago, even if she knocked on doors all over the world, she would still find that person.

Lucia finally couldn't bear to see the girl's self-supporting expression anymore, she closed Amethyst's pupils, some transparent tears poured into her chest with the sound of howling wind, and kept flowing.

The more that person smiled, the more sad she felt.

Is separation so bitter?

It hurts so much.

She was distracted, and couldn't help but think of the Kuchiki Rukia from before.

So...has he ever been this bitter?

So Master Haiyan wants to entrust her heart to herself in the end?

So Captain Fuzhu didn't hesitate to disappear to see himself?

She stepped forward to hold the girl's thin shoulders, and persuaded her softly. "Xia Li, take a break."

When Xia Li turned her head, her eyes seemed to fall into a piece of warm and soft rain.Faced with such a sight, she couldn't help but compromise.So the girl nodded slightly, walked to the railing at the end of the bridge and sat down, her gaze fell to reflect the mottled water surface.It is the twilight of the lights on Liuhun Street and the brilliant streamer of the Milky Way.For a while, both of them were quiet, one was sitting on the railing, the other was leaning on it, neither of them spoke.A long wind blows, passing through the long sleeves.The black and elegant dead bully outfit, and the snail red breezy bathrobe.

In the silence all around, Rukia suddenly let out a low cry.

Two black hell butterflies came from nowhere, but they didn't look like they were here to send a message.Rukia stretched out her hand and they didn't stop, they circled around Xia Li lightly and deftly, and danced beside her.The dark red spots on the wings of the phoenix-tailed butterfly flickered on and off under the cover of the warm orange light.

Xia Li stared at the two hell butterflies, her expression gradually became dignified, and then softened, those black pupils were dyed with an unbelievable brilliance.She opened her mouth and whispered in a voice only she and the butterfly could hear.

"...Hey, take me to Winter Shiro's house."

Hey, Rangiku-san, Ichimaru Gin.
