half soul

The man who ranked No. 4 in the broken face went straight to the center of the hall, and the long white robe settled down gracefully after his figure stopped.He bowed slightly, and greeted the people seated shallowly.On the road, the dark green ice pupils swept slightly over the three people beside them without stopping.

Sather bowed his head humbly at the front, but it was still unstoppable. Remy's clear and shallow smile was full of pride and joy at the beginning of a good show, and Mervet's beautiful lips with long wine red hair Create a slight arc without temperature.As always, as with Ulquiola's many collaborations with them, each is an almost constant performance.Not friends by any means, but not enemies either.Ulquiorra didn't think it was wrong for Ten Blades to mix with Shinigami.In his thinking, everything he does, whether following or cooperating, is actually just trying to figure out one thing, and that thing has nothing to do with identity and affiliation.

As long as there is no conflict is enough, as long as it is possible is enough.

That's why he will be safe with the god of death.But maybe, from the bottom line, his relationship with these people is not even "association".

"Ur, what's the matter?" Remy stared at Ulquiorra's eyes and provoked a more carefree smile. No.4's cold and mysterious left eye can perfectly reproduce any scene that he tries to keep.What a handy ability, Lemmy thought, because real enough to make my plan foolproof.The result can only be unique, and that person will definitely come.

"We'll see the result tomorrow." Ulquiorra replied calmly, her deep voice unwavering.

Mervet looked sideways at Remy, who was on the right hand, and raised the brows of willow leaves, showing a playful expression of uncertainty.However, no one would misunderstand it as a kind of ridicule or provocation, because everyone knew that she believed so deeply in that green-haired, smoky-eyed boy.

"Then," the person in the seat stood up and spread out a bony hand.The sound of the rough wooden crutches reverberating in the empty hall, forming a silent deterrent, made everyone present look solemn. "Let's see, Ulquiorra."

"Yes, Lord Yuanliuzhai."

That's right, the person who lives on the seat of the Xuye Palace is the captain of the thirteenth division of the Gotei who should have died in the empty seat during the Winter War

——Yamamoto Motoyanagi Shigekuni.

Ulquiola raised his arm, and covered his left forehead with his right hand, the eye was taken out again, and then it shattered into dust with a light click.The scenes he had seen all spread out in the space, gradually merged into everyone's thinking, and built a world of exact memories.

Absolutely, exactly.

On the alley of Liuhun Street where no one was around, the young man with snow hair and green eyes looked at the person in front of him in astonishment.Ulquiola stared at him calmly, watching the young man's expression gradually change from surprise to indignation, and gradually, he could almost hear the sound of his teeth clenching.Even those green eyes, which were as clear as water, were stained with a layer of ferocity that suppressed the rage, but it was deeply buried under the appearance of self-possession.In the breath, it is an unusual precursor of the imminent mountain haze.

Unfortunately, he can't do anything.

"Her, what's the matter." The smoky wind in autumn carried the temperature of ice and snow.

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

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

"Find the answer yourself. If you want to know, tomorrow, this time, this place."

Ulquiola watched indifferently as the snow-haired boy was furious.That person has turned into an ordinary soul, and nothing can be done or changed.Even if he was still the captain of the [-]th team back then, the so-called young genius who hadn't been seen in the soul world for a hundred years, Ulquiola still wouldn't care, because he wouldn't be weaker than him.He, Ulquiorra, can stand proudly in the world and overlook all living beings.

It's just that there is a slight difference...

He would think indifferently, if Kurosaki Ichigo and Urahara Kisuke had listened to his warning back then.

...There will never be a scene like this.

So, Laimi's scheming is really terrifying... That person has laid out a huge scheme. Until now, the person who was designed is still kept in the dark...but it finally started... A little bit Cocooning and spinning.

He himself used tricks to bring Inoue Orihime to the virtual circle willingly.That was also a well-thought-out plan, but it was still inferior to Lemmy's.The difference is that he only counted one person's heart, but Laimi counted far more than that.

Everyone is nothing more than a pawn.

As for those who played chess, Ulquiola knew very well that those people did not have any selfish intentions, but they could also subvert the invisible world.

... Just like before, those people walked into the magnificent white palace in the virtual circle.

He couldn't help but think of those people's wild and absurd plans.Ulquiorra didn't care what the consequences of what they were about to do would be.Taking a step back, so what.

It's just that this world will either exist or not.

That's it.

Everything to be conveyed has been made clear, Ulquiola has never been a talkative person, and it is time to leave.What's more, he is very clear that every word he says and every action he makes will be understood by other people in a short time.Even if he'd ever wanted to help Hitsugaya—he didn't understand why he would—it was impossible now.Seeing the man in front of him with a serious expression and thoughtful expression, he stretched out his fingers and made a dark voice.

Take a step back and disappear into that dark world.The last thing that lingered in his sight was the emerald green pupils, always looking in this direction.No one can read more content, because there are too many, too complicated and difficult things in those eyes.

Then as time passed, the people in the Void Night Palace opened their eyes.

"Wow. It's really concise and concise, Mr. Ur." Moweit approved in his eyes, and when he nodded, a faint arc appeared on the edge of the long wine red hair.

However, the person Ulquiola had been looking at, the captain of Jinglingting, just nodded slightly without any further hints.

The man stood in the hall, no sadness or joy could be seen in his dark green pupils.He paused for a moment and asked for instructions.

"Tomorrow, I'll bring Hitsugaya Toshiro back."

Before Captain Yamamoto made any further explanations, Remy took a step forward, bowed gracefully, and the corners of his mouth were gradually stained with evil spirits.The wantonness that slanted into the eyebrows and eyes was like a ray of light, piercing the entire hall.Only now did you realize that he has an arrogance no less than that of Sasse, and it has already penetrated into his bone marrow, allowing him to arrange and sway freely.

"Master Yuan Liuzhai, can I take the initiative to invite Her Royal Highness to Xuye Palace as a guest?"

The old man squinted his eyes, and his sharp and hidden gaze swept over everyone below.He stood up and walked slowly towards the direction where they were standing in the middle of the hall.He didn't speak leisurely until he passed those four people shoulder to shoulder.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Remy. Captain Hitsugaya will hand it over to Ulquiorra. As for Sasofio, continue to sneak into the empty seat and prepare for the chains that pass through the world. Don't rush this matter, the request is still It is to try not to disturb the god of death. Mervet stays in the Palace of Void Night, ready to welcome the coming guests."

Accompanied by the ending sound, the person has disappeared outside the palace gate.

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

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

As soon as Huataro turned his head, no, it would be better to say that he had foreseen what was happening behind him before he turned his head.The feeling of rising and overwhelming spiritual pressure, although not as powerful and oppressive as the captain's spiritual pressure, still has the rhythm of heart palpitations that cannot be ignored.

However, the scene in front of him was what really made his breathing stagnate.

Kurosaki Natsuri, who was lying on the bed and fell asleep, stood up at some point.Her whole body was soaked in the translucent flame-like red spiritual pressure, and the expression of her eyebrows and eyes could not be seen clearly.Hanataro could see the red spiritual pressure overflowing and turbulent for no reason, the girl's slightly loose white hospital gown was fluttering when the spiritual pressure was stirring, arrogant and wanton.The evil spirit pressure, which was completely different from the usual Kurosaki Natsuri, spread rapidly like a storm.Then inevitably, all eyes are on one place...

In the girl's right hand, she tightly held a Zanpakudao with light red chaotic blades.

That Zanpakutō... is not so much an entity, it seems more like a shadow, a faint red light, faintly visible in the uncertain light and shade of the light released by the girl.

That's never seen before, evil.

Yamada Hanataro took a step back involuntarily.

Why... Ms. Kurosaki... has such a strange Reiatsu? !light red? !And why...she has such an evil Zanpakuto? !

Every god of death will go through the process of getting his own zanpakuto.Zanpakuto that has not been liberated is called Asagi.Under normal circumstances, Qian Da will have the appearance of a relatively well-behaved sword, and it will not appear in various styles that are doubly evil and confusing until it is liberated.Like Mr. Kurosaki's Zangetsu, it is already considered a rare alien in the light hit.I have never heard of anyone who has such an unreal feeling when playing lightly...

The door of the ward was suddenly pushed open.Unohana appeared in front of the door.She calmly stared at the girl whose spiritual pressure was agitated at the moment and whose condition was unknown.

"Finally..." Her tone was calm and calm.It was as if she knew everything already, or Hanataro thought, it seemed more like she had been waiting for this for a long time.

"Captain Unokana..." Hanataro pointed to the side of the hospital bed, and looked at his captain with unconcealable surprise, "Miss Kurosaki, is she alright?"

Unokanaretsu looked at the girl carefully. "I think, to some extent, Ms. Kurosaki is finally out of danger."

As long as Kurosaki Xiali successfully obtains her own Zanpakuto, it means that she has successfully entered her own inner world, and the outside world, especially the inner world that Captain Hitsugaya interacts with, has not had any impact on her.At least for now.But as for whether Captain Hitsugaya can restore his spiritual pressure in the future, it is still unknown.

Everything seems to be running perfectly.

"It's just..." An imperceptible unease finally flashed across her seemingly peaceful eyes.

In another way...

Except... the Zanpakuto feeling is really ominous.

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

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

The snow-haired boy has been standing on this street for a long time.In fact, since Xia Li and Rukia left his house, he has been restless.At dawn, Hitsugaya finally made up his mind, said goodbye to grandma, and left there.Without any hesitation, he came to the spot agreed with Ulquiorra.

He wants to figure it out, there is no doubt about it.

If so, it won't be found.

The chance of being hit is almost zero.

What's more, I have already emphasized that I don't want them to come again.

...that's it.

The young man twitched the corners of his mouth, revealing a slightly bitter smile.Ulquiola's previous non-threatening behavior does not mean that he will be the same in the future.So, Hitsugaya doesn't know how long he can last on the path he chose with such a weak body... But no matter what the ending is, he must go on.The boy clenched his fists tightly, and he could feel the black bracelet on his wrist pressed against his skin, and the feeling of weakness began to spread from there.

This is his own choice, so there is no possibility of refusing or regretting it.

He raised his head to see that the sky was getting brighter and brighter, and finally it was clear.The streets are still deserted, empty and lonely.The autumn wind has already brought coolness, whistling across the distant sky.Hitsugaya once again recalled what Ulquiorra showed him, and in fact he never gave up thinking after he calmed down.What he cared about was not only the appearance of Hina Mori, but also the scene about Captain Yamamoto that cannot be ignored.

why?

What kind of message did Ulquiorra want to convey?

Was it intentional or unintentional to reveal Chisen's situation to herself?

Obviously during the Battle of Winter, those two people were in empty seats, so it stands to reason that there is no possibility of narrow escape.Then why...

... Sure enough, there are too many questions that only the questioners can answer.

"As expected, you are here." An unwavering voice sounded behind him.

It is the broken face No.4 who came to the appointment.

"What the hell does that mean?" Concisely.The emerald green eyes no longer had the violence and anger of last time, and now they seemed like a pool of calm autumn water, with deep rays of light scorching people.

"I said that you need to find the answer by yourself. If you want to know, come with me." Behind Ulquiola, the black cavity that swallowed the light has never been closed.The endless unknowns, including the answer Hitsugaya wants, are on the opposite side of that darkness.A corner of the long white robe was raised, and the person leading the way turned and stepped in, then looked sideways at the person behind him.The dark green pupils were as indifferent as ever, and all he was waiting for was that person's reaction.

to come, or not to come.

So the boy didn't hesitate.The light gray bathrobe flashed lightly, and the dark alien world engulfed his entire vision.

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

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

"I'm going to find Toshiro!" These were the first words Kurosaki Natsuri really woke up from.

It is said that she "really" woke up because when she got the Zanpakuto from the surge of spiritual pressure, she had been in a stage of not being sober.Fortunately, apart from the evil spirit, nothing serious and terrible happened, so the nervous people breathed a sigh of relief.It was already past noon, and a lazy light came faintly from behind the curtains, illuminating the whole room with a hazy light.Rukia and Yeyi also came here before, and seeing Xia Li back to normal and falling asleep, they both left the fourth team.Of course, they still have things to do urgently.So it is Hanataro Yamada who stays in the ward to take care of her.

Her shout startled Hanatarou.

"Miss Kurosaki..." Before he had time to say anything, Xia Li found the Zanpakuto in his hand.

"Hey, what's this?!" The crimson scabbard and the beautiful shapeless hollow gauntlet have a kind of indescribable simplicity.A three-inch long black silk thread hangs from the handle of the knife, and at the end is a round stone the size of a fingernail, the whole body is pitch black and dull.

"Zanpakuto." She murmured.

Unable to control herself, Xia Li stretched out her hand and gently stroked the smooth and linear blade.An inexplicable familiar breath enveloped her in an instant, she closed her eyes, and in the sudden blankness in her vision was the black spring water.

So he opened his eyes suddenly.

Her Zanpakuto.

Called by name, fragmented.

"Hey Hanataro, take me to Ruhun Street. I said, I'm going to find him today." Xia Li, who was affected by the Zanpakuto incident, remembered what she had to do.

Hanataro was walking to the window and drawing the curtains.As soon as the pale white curtains were lifted, the more dazzling skylight could not wait to get into the room, peaceful and serene.Xia Li sat on the hospital bed, looking at him calmly.The look on her brow clearly indicated that she didn't want any other answer except a promise.

Hanataro thought about it for a while, although Captain Unohana didn't stipulate that Xia Li could not leave the fourth division or even Jingling Court, but now with this Zanpakuto, the situation is slightly different.But indeed, when I brought her back last night, I heard her say that I would go today... So, should I report to my captain first and ask for approval?

"Mm. Kurosaki, then wait for me, I'll go and talk to Captain Unokana." Waving his hand, Hanataro smiled gently, "Don't worry, the captain is very reasonable and won't disagree."

Xia Li watched him go out and close the door of the ward, a young voice rang in her ears without warning, with a cheerful tone.

"Hey, is that your Zanpakuto? It's beautiful."

Xia Li, who was still staring at the door thoughtfully, turned her head back immediately.

The bed was right next to the window.A young teenager leaned halfway in from the window, almost speaking these words in her ear.He rested his chin, looking at the Zanpakutō with great interest.Green flamboyant hair reflected an indescribable highlight when he smiled casually.The vast smoky crystal-colored pupils were pure and clean, and his gaze moved from Zanpakutō to the person sitting on the hospital bed with an obvious smile.

This young man with casual posture and expression has an unusually free and easy and beautiful feeling.

The girl's eyes fell on the boy's shirt exposed in the window, and it could be seen that it was a light gray and white robe.She can swear that the style of this dress is definitely not the dress of Death.But in the entire Jingling Court, she has never seen anyone who doesn't wear a deadly costume or a haori.

So she was very vigilant and stared at the boy with a harmless smile on his face.

"who are you?"

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

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

The young man lightly stretched out his hand and pressed on the window sill, and he jumped into the window, his movements flying and jumping, as light as the wind.It wasn't until the whole person stood in front of Xia Li that the girl felt that the long robe just set off his slender figure.A long knife hung beside him. Xia Li noticed that there was a complex loop of dark green, forming a beautiful pattern in the center of the gray scabbard, like a line of ancient and unknown characters.The young man bowed slightly, with an easy-going smile, and answered her half jokingly and half respectfully.

"Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Lemi, and I am here to greet you, Your Royal Highness."

It's a very flattering and light-hearted statement, but in fact it doesn't reveal any information at all except the name.Of course, what Laimi can be sure of is that even if his name is in the whole world of corpses and souls, there is no trace of clues to be found.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have said his name so easily.

"I refuse." Xia Li raised her eyebrows.Xu Shi's youthful attitude made her feel that she could be tougher.Anyway, an inexplicable person appeared inexplicably, she thought, no problem.

"Eh?" Laimi raised his head in surprise, "But, you have a reason to come with me."

The narrowing of his brows made the girl feel as if she was teasing him, so she couldn't help becoming kinder.This time, it was her who relaxed her eyebrows indifferently.On the other hand, she was even more curious, she wanted to hear what reason this young man who appeared suddenly could give her "definitely" to leave.

"Oh? Why is that?"

Hearing the girl let go, Remy chuckled. "Because the person you want to see has left here, and where that person goes, only I can take you there."

Xia Li was taken aback for a moment, then condensed her previous laughing expression, and stared at the green-haired boy expressionlessly.

Lemmy sighed and held out his hands to her.His voice was clear and clear, with a hint of carelessness floating in the afternoon sun. "I know too. That guy is arrogant and idiot. He obviously can't do anything, but he still works so hard. He only wants to solve the matter by himself, and he thinks it's his own business...so he doesn't want anyone's help."

In fact, it has already been figured out, this is absolutely a [-]% fact.

Besides, you are actually much clearer than me, right, my respected princess?

"Of course, I won't ask you to decide now. When you are sure, when you need to see me, I will naturally show up. Ah, you must remember that my name is Remy. Well, and I hope you Don't tell others that I've been here." The young man showed a faint smile that seemed to Xia Li to be shallow and quiet, "Anyway, no one here knows me."

Remy bowed down, and then, like when she came, reached out and pressed lightly on the window sill, and jumped out.When white and green flashed before her eyes, Xia Li suddenly thought of a swallow, nimble and brisk, with a beautiful and almost perfect trajectory when passing in the air... just like this person passing by her eyes... ...With just this daze, the window is blank.The pale white curtain was raised gently in the blowing wind, and then slowly fell, still, as if nothing had happened.as before.

But there is something unknown, which has quietly departed with each breath.

Such a young man, with such a smile and such words, made Xia Li suddenly feel powerless.

— powerless to doubt.

Because when it comes to that guy Hitsugaya, every word that Laimi said can be matched, [-]%.

By gods, Shiro Dong really said that he would leave, don't go to him.

So, he is really... definitely going to leave.

Xia Li got up, and didn't care about changing into a bathrobe or waiting for Hanataro, so she put on her hospital gown and ran out.Zhili was dragged by her hand, and followed quietly all the time, but weeping in a place where no one could hear.

The spring water flows, and it is dark into the night.

If...if what that person said is true...

The girl pursed her lips tightly, with a stubborn expression on her face.

...I definitely have no way out.
