half soul

"I think there is no need for self-introduction, right?" The former captain of Jinglingting stood still in front of the throne, leaning on the wooden staff with both hands, just like he had stood condescendingly in front of the gods of death thousands of times.

No one showed a surprised look, including Kurosaki Natsuri.

She would recognize this man just like she would recognize Chisen, nothing surprising.

"Captain, I need an explanation. Everything." The snow-haired boy standing at the bottom said neither humble nor humble.Although he lost his spiritual pressure, it did not damage his usual calm spirit.He suppressed the idea of ​​asking Chu Sen immediately, and the situation in front of him deserved his attention even more.

Why did the captain, who was supposed to disappear with Beng Yu in that empty seat, appear in the palace of Xuquan after many days.

After all, is it an enemy?

The chief captain of Jinglingting watched the eyes of his former capable subordinate gradually become suspicious, and raised his hand to signal Ulquiola to explain to him.

"Master Yuanliuzhai has been implementing this plan from the very beginning." The former No. 4 Pomian took half a step forward lightly, "It's as early as... when Lord Aizen just noticed Bengyu, it has already started .I am the chess piece that Mr. Yuan Liuzhai supported in Xuye at that time. After Mr. Aizen came to Xuye Palace, on the one hand, I looked at the world of corpses with the eyes of Mr. Aizen, on the other hand, as Yuan Liu Lord Zhai's eyes are looking at the Xuye Palace."

Hitsugaya listened coldly to Ulquiola's unwavering voice, as if he was telling someone else's story rather than his own.He thought to himself, such a thing, if this man...

The snow-haired boy's gaze passed through Ulquiorra's bottomless pupils indiscriminately.

... definitely can be done.

"Master Aizen has been led away by Lord Genryuzai from the very beginning, and the same is true for Gin Ichimaru and Kaname Tosen. Lord Aizen thought he succeeded in the matter of Bengyu, but that was only because of Lord Genryuzai. Let him hold it. That's all. From the very beginning, Master Yuan Liuzhai was acquiescing to him to snatch Beng Yu, study Beng Yu, and conduct various experiments. As expected, everything is going towards Yuan Liu Zhai The result that the adults want is to develop—that is, to make Bengyu's power completely out of control during the Winter War."

"What...!" The emerald green pupils suddenly widened.Hitsugaya stared at the captain sitting on the seat suddenly, and the light of indignation began to wander in his eyes, "Why?! Why did you do this!?"

How many gods of death and pomian were killed by Beng Yu's out of control? !

Almost destroyed most of Jinglingting and the entire Xuye Palace!

If it was purely for the sake of winning, it would be too unscrupulous!

He gritted his teeth a little bit.

Is this the purpose of the captain? !A win for both sides? !

no, no...

If that's the case, the Corpse Soul Realm has already won, why didn't he show up, but hid in the Xuye Palace until now and was willing to show it to others?

The black-haired girl looked at Hitsugaya's brows gradually tightened, and the green pupils were dyed with a deeper icy light.She tries to understand the relationship between those things.But the only thing she could understand was that Aizen seemed to be used by the captain.All her thoughts went back to when she first met Aizen—the half-spirited Aizen Soyousuke.

The man who is known as the chief boss of the Winter War, a great villain who disregards human life.

The first time he came to see himself, he just asked himself to help bring someone over.He wanted to see that person again.

In Xia Li's eyes, he was just an ordinary person who wanted to silently look at his most important person.

Even though he knew that the person could not see or hear him, he was still stubborn and wanted to see her peacefully.

She remembered exactly the gentle smile that fell on the corner of that man's lips.

He spoke words that would never be heard to the woman in front of him.

She couldn't help not thinking... If the incident in the empty seat hadn't happened, would Aizen have—one day—will really stand in front of Captain Unohana so tenderly?

But this question has become a riddle that will never have an answer.

On the seat, Yamamoto Motoyanagi Shigekuni narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the people below.The truth may be difficult to accept, but everything is going perfectly according to the script.

This showdown step will have to be taken sooner or later.

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

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

"Natsuri Kurosaki."

Suddenly hearing her own name from the captain's mouth, the black-haired girl raised her head slightly, and the tall and majestic figure of that person was reflected in the dark star pupils.The light streamed from the frosted window lattice on one side of the main hall, and the man stood in the heavy light curtain at the junction of light and dark, and something indescribable was gurgling.His voice was solemn and resounded in the hall.

"As a suitable half-soul, the Zanpakuto you hold has a unique ability to overturn the world."

Ulquiola, Remy, Sather and Mervet all looked as usual, obviously they all knew about such a thing long ago.Hitsugaya Toshiro opened his eyes suddenly, staring at the person in the seat in disbelief.

Why... Xia Li's identity, why would the captain in Xuye Palace know?

Also, why did he know Xia Li Zanpakuto's ability?

The snow-haired boy once thought that only a half-soul would know about such a thing.And this ability will be a secret shared by the fit person and the half-soul, and will never be revealed.

The myth is so easily debunked.

"I need this kind of ability. So I can tell you without hiding anything, what kind of thing I want to accomplish." Yamamoto Motonyanagi Shigekuni paused, "I want to build a complete world."

Hitsugaya's expression became complicated the moment he heard such remarks.And looking at Kurosaki Xiali's puzzled expression, the captain explained to her with a gentle expression. "The present world is composed of three parts that do not interfere with each other. The soul world, the world, and the virtual circle. Between these three areas, there is a boundary and a black cavity that block each other and maintain balance. My purpose, It is to eliminate the barriers between the three worlds. Let the world become the only and complete existence."

"What?!" Hitsugaya's body shook violently.

If Xia Li didn't understand those things, he, Hitsugaya Toshiro, wouldn't.How spirits flow and maintain balance between these different areas.Once broken, the consequences would be disastrous.Although, the snow-haired boy realized that this was not a simple matter, but he never imagined that what the captain had to do was something like this.

This... will break the balance of the world in an instant.Is it tantamount to destroying the whole world!

"Captain!..." Without waiting for him to say another word, Captain Yamamoto already knew what the boy wanted to express and cut off his words.

"Captain Hitsugaya," the former captain of Jinglingting said indifferently, as if what he described before was a very common thing, "I would like to ask for your opinion on a piece of history in the world of corpses and souls." ...In your opinion, the fact that the Quincy was wiped out by the god of death...is it right or wrong?"

"what?"

"The Quincy was originally a human being with slightly higher spiritual power. Because of the existence of Xu in this world, he gradually became a powerful Quincy. For human beings, this is a kind of progress, or it can be called...evolution."

Hitsugaya looked at Captain Yamamoto coldly.He didn't understand why the captain suddenly changed the subject and began to mention that disgraceful matter to the Soul Society and Jinglingting.He also didn't understand how this incident was related to the shocking words and the big plan to overthrow the world.

He didn't make any rash remarks, but that person would not choose to remain silent just because of his silence.No one stopped, so Captain Yamamoto continued.

"The virtual will exist in the present world originally, and human beings will inevitably have different levels of spiritual power, so the emergence of the Quincy Master is an inevitable evolution. What we are doing is killing the evolution that should have existed. And this kind of Behavior is not right, against nature."

The black-haired girl looked at the old man's statement calmly. Although she didn't quite understand it, she felt that what the man said seemed to make sense.Because Hitsugaya Toshiro did not make any kind of rebuttal.Not even a verbal rebuttal, he just gritted his teeth and looked at the captain with a complicated expression.Hitsugaya Toshiro couldn't stop the captain from continuing, and perhaps, he didn't intend to refute him at all.

"What I want to create is a world that combines the world so that all human beings, souls, gods of death, and emptiness are mutually restrained and evolved, and finally gradually tend to a perfect and balanced world. To create such a world, the power of the fit is indispensable."

Captain Yamamoto raised his bony hand and pointed at the black-haired girl below.All eyes were on Xia Li.

"You are the one who is destined to change the world, Kurosaki Natsuri."

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

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

"Once the suitable person becomes the god of death, Zanpakuto will have the ability to shock the world, and the power to control space far surpasses any kind of ghost way that exists. The Zanpakuto by your side is the most precious asset. I don't Will force you to make a choice, because you are not enough to understand these things now. I can wait for you to make a decision. I can wait until the moment when you expect to discover your abilities." The captain did not immediately force the girl to answer, which means The words are magnanimous, and every word is sonorous.

Outside the window, the golden light of the setting sun flows without a trace.The illusion of time drifts away, the pendulum of the clock passes through the mirror, and there is a mist in someone's eyes.

"I...I don't know..." Xia Li was a little dazed and shook her head slightly.

Although she is very accepting of being a suitable person, she really doesn't have the slightest bit of confidence in the face of the Zanpakuto she just got.Regarding the abilities of the captains and vice-team Zanpakuto of each team, she has read about them in the monthly magazine "Jinglingting", and each knife has different abilities.She had also imagined in her mind the gestures of those Zanpakuto's being liberated, with the mighty power to end all lives.

But she really couldn't imagine what kind of ability the fragments in her hands would have.

She reached out to caress the crimson scabbard, and the black boulder that fell on the handle shook slightly.The luster as deep as water flashed by, smudged her eyes together.If there is something deeply experienced, it shakes from the fingertips, infiltrates the skin, and dissolves into the blood of the bones.

Obviously...it belongs to me...but I don't understand it like this.

Maybe this is a good opportunity...to understand myself better.

It's been too long, too long, and I can't figure myself out, right?

"Captain, how did you know about the Zanpakuto's ability?" Hitsugaya's eyes were filled with even more doubts, staring at the person on the seat, his tone was a little more sharp.

Kurosaki Xiali didn't raise her head, but it was clearly the snow-haired and green-eyed person in front of her, wandering around, endlessly.But she didn't even want to - or dare not - look back at the man.Even if it's close at hand.

I always feel... just looking at him, my world will definitely collapse.

It's...it can't collapse anymore.

Yamamoto Motoyakusai Shigekuni didn't say a word, but just cast his eyes lightly behind Hitsugaya.The smoky green-haired boy took a step forward lightly, and smiled calmly with the corners of his mouth raised.Remy raised his eyelashes, and met Hitsugaya Toshirō's cold gaze without any guilt.

"Can I take this as a compliment, Captain Hitsugaya?"

The snow-haired boy turned his head, and was facing Laimi's pale black eyes. Under the unpredictable light and dark light, the veins were deep and shallow, unpredictable.

"Consulted countless materials, including various banned and sealed documents, and analyzed all the old accounts hidden under the imprint of light... This is the final conclusion, Captain Hitsugaya. "The smile on the young man's eyebrows was indifferent and leisurely, "Only the Zanpakuto of the suitable one will be passed on from generation to generation. It will be inherited by the next suitable person. Maybe the name will be different, because the name depends on the suitable person himself. state of mind, but their abilities... are exactly the same."

"There should not be two Zanpakuto with the same ability, even at different times." Hitsugaya gradually gritted his teeth.It is impossible for him to forget what it would be like to have two of the same Zanpakuto.However, it was impossible for him to deny what Lemmy said... because every word was absolutely correct.

For Xia Li's safety, he had to do his best to convince others that it was a mistake.

The green-haired boy regained his previous idle look.His voice was soft, but it sounded like thunder in Hitsugaya's ears. "This is the fate shared by those who are suitable. I think you understand, my captain?"

When the snow-haired boy was uncontrollably frightened and angry, the captain stood up. "That's all for today. Kurosaki Natsuri's daily life will be handed over to Movit, and Captain Hitsugaya will temporarily stay where he is."

Lemmy, Sather and Ulquiola are all ready to leave.The beautiful woman in black kimono walked up to Xia Li and held her hand intimately.She smiled, come with me, Xia Li.My name is Merwitt.

"Wait a minute." Hitsugaya's voice suddenly sounded in the hall, and everyone stopped.Xia Li felt that the left side of her chest was being pulled hard following the sound.Hitsugaya Toshiro looked at the back of Captain Yamamoto who was about to leave, and finally asked the question that had troubled him for a long time...

"Chisen, why are you locked up?"

When his voice fell to the ground, Kurosaki Xiali felt that the dull pain that was beyond redemption was spreading, intense and persistent.She understands.It is impossible for that person not to look after him, and it is even more impossible to abandon him.

So...it's impossible...to get back.

She walked out with Mervet without any hesitation.The sound of the palace door closing came from behind, heavy and depressing, connected to the heart, completely cutting off all sounds.

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

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

"Does it hurt?" He sighed softly, ringing in the black-haired girl's ears.

Xia Li was startled, and looked at the woman named Moweite who was walking beside her.It seems to be about the same age as Rukia, but Xia Li knows that the lifespan of Shinigami is far longer than that of human beings, so she can't tell her real age.

Mervet's expression was indifferent and cold.But Xia Li felt that she could see clearly, under that nearly perfect delicate face, there was a lingering sadness.Dotted between the eyebrows of Xinyue Dai, it is like a hazy nightmare that cannot escape through hundreds of thousands of years.Those gray eyes drifted past, bringing with it the wind of March of Awakening of Insects.The half of the zenith is soft and bright, and the highlights of the long wine red hair are turbulent and fascinated anyone's vision.Anything starts to recover and grow in the interlacing of light and dark.

"Sorry. I don't know what you're talking about." Xia Li looked away and continued to move forward.

I always feel that if I let it go, it will be certain in the end. It will be like a grand drowning rain, heavy and suffocating, and painful.In that case... in that case, there will be no escape.

So you can't let it go.So suppress it all.

I am not afraid of heaven and earth falling apart.

But I'm afraid it will break down again and again.

"Heh," Mervet looked sideways and looked at the girl beside him playfully, "They are all people with the same fate, how could they not understand."

Toshirō Hitsugaya is to you what that person is to me.Whatever you are willing to do for him, I will not hesitate.

But between the two of us, who loves more deeply, is more desperate, more tragic, and more... heart-piercing?

For this reason, those...endless darkness that I feel, you can also try.

Does it hurt?

The black-haired girl's footsteps stopped suddenly.Kurosaki Xiali stared at the frozen shadow under her feet.Mervet watched as the corners of her mouth gradually curved into a shallow arc.She can also see... the deep and shallow eyes of Xia Li's eyes, the converging shapes, the prelude to despair.

Inevitably she began to ache.

The girl spoke with a careless voice and a cruel smile. "I haven't had anything at all. So, how can it hurt?"

All that Toshiro Hitsugaya gave to himself was the sentence "I won't leave you alone again" and that pale kiss on the forehead.

What can it represent.

I didn't even say a word of liking, how can I believe it.

What should I believe?

You can save his life, but not a heart.From the very beginning, what I believed was probably just my own imagination and self-righteousness.

That person can only be grateful to himself.All his tenderness is just out of politeness.

If there is any emotion, it is also an illusion.

Kurosaki Natsuri, do you really want to live with such an illusion to the point of death?

This is not the first time that such thoughts have appeared, but like poppies, once they strike, they will inevitably spread and grow rapidly.The sky above Xu Yegong's head was covered with heavy clouds, and those bright black pupils flowed like clouds.The blue sky is too soft, and will eventually be covered with heavy haze.

Ah.So say, so say Ah.They are all people with the same fate.

Mervet calmed down, she knew that what she was going to do now was another thing.She led Xia Li forward and spoke casually. "Do you... understand your Zanpakuto?"

Xia Li was taken aback, no matter what, how could this topic jump so quickly.

"..."

"Do you know how powerful your Zanpakuto is?" Without waiting for the girl's answer, Mervet approached slightly, with a confident and evil smile on the corner of her raised mouth, "Wait until you truly possess the Swastika. , can own the whole world from scratch. Naturally, you can also own that person."

Xia Li opened her eyes uncontrollably.

"Believe me."

She watched Mervet reaching out to her, with an elegant and beautiful smile, blooming for no reason in the brilliance.The warmth without warning rose gently, and the gray eyes showed traces of empty lights.

"I'll help you. Come with us, Xia Li."

The appearance is obviously different, but Xia Li's mind is in awe, but at this moment, the figure of the red-haired woman overlaps with Rukia, so similar.

...At that time, Kuchiki Rukia was smiling at her at the dim lights behind her. "Come back with me, Xia Li."

The extended hand was so warm, her vision blurred.
