half soul

The eyes were gradually covered in black, and the black overflowing from Sather's scabbard surrounded them, forming a huge sphere in depth and depth, gradually blocking all eyes from the outside.This time, Xia Li could finally concentrate on looking at the snow-haired boy in front of her, feeling a strange sense of stability spreading.The brighter awns were swallowed by the surrounding darkness, but they were enough to illuminate the space between them.That's why she was able to see clearly the young man's emerald eyes, the light red and blue and white spiritual pressure occasionally flashed across unusual colors, and there was a faint shadow standing in the eyes that couldn't be concealed.

With a slight smile, he rode away.

This time he never gave up his reasons...

There will be no more evasion, no hesitation.

She faintly felt the fragments vibrating in her palm, mixed with her heartbeat, beating endlessly at a familiar and subtle frequency.His own spiritual pressure increased along with his spiritual pressure, and it didn't seem very strenuous to climb to such a height.Kurosaki Xiali obviously felt that this ascension was completely different from the previous rampage, it was very gentle and stable.

For an experienced god of death like Hitsugaya, he is naturally extremely keen.He felt it when the spiritual pressure was raised, and that layer of black had an irresistible effect on himself and Xia Li.It is devouring and controlling the power of the spiritual pressure, and even the increase is under its control.Thinking back to that black-haired man, it's no wonder that he felt so powerful. It turned out that the man named Sather already possessed such extremely domineering power.Unlike illusions, this is total control and will give anyone the strongest and most real sense of powerlessness.After all, he could probably destroy any opponent if he wanted to.

But then again, since they are now on the same front, such an ability should be a very reliable helper.

"Wear your sleeves, Fragmented."

The moment he finally uttered the Liberation Language, it seemed as if a spring of water collapsed somewhere.The flame-colored Reiatsu exploded, enveloping the whole body of the black-haired girl.When Hitsugaya followed her with her Reiatsu rising, she saw that the black boulder tied to the hilt of the knife turned into a crimson color, and gradually floated into the air from its original hanging state.

Is this what this Zanpakuto looks like when it is unraveled?

Before he could think more deeply, he suddenly felt his eyes go dark.Blinking suddenly, when he opened it again, he found that he was standing in a completely different place.It is definitely not the Xuye Palace, nor even the Xuhuan... This place has golden waves of wheat rolling in the eyes, and it is so vast that it can't see the edge.And... the sound of gurgling water came from a place probably close to Tianjiao, far away.The loneliness of being empty.There is no anger, no breath of Zanpakuto, and no Xia Li.

However, such a question could not trouble him, Toshirō Hitsugaya.He immediately understood that this was her inner world.

Looking at those too distant and endless gold, he suddenly felt lonely for no reason.Everyone's inner world is an inner reflection of oneself.For example, Toshirō Hitsugaya never felt that his ice field was cold and lonely, and he could walk in that vast expanse resolutely without fear of wind and snow.Just because his heart is like this.He has the king of ice and snow.He is the king of ice and snow.

So at this moment, Xia Li's true heart is displayed in front of her.A very warm place where many people can be trapped but she is always the only one.

"Hitsugaya Toshiro." A voice suddenly sounded from somewhere, calling his name.

The snow-haired boy raised his eyes and looked around, only the wheat awns everywhere, and the sound of moaning resounded throughout the world.

"You are fragmented?!"

"Go and find her, if you can find it." The voice was lost in the sound of wheat awns.No matter how much the boy yelled, he ignored it.Disappeared without a trace.

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

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

Hitsugaya Toshiro looked around, and there was no difference in the picture in each direction.From time to time, the wind blows, drawing some wonderful arcs on the wheat waves.It may seem like something is different, but things aren't getting any better.And here, every inch of land is her spiritual pressure, and there is no way to find it.He couldn't help but frown.

Tsk.Unexpectedly, Zanpakuto separated himself from Xia Li on his own initiative.

That is to say, Xia Li still rejects herself a little deep in her heart, so she doesn't want to see herself?

Or, compared to other weapons, this suitable Zanpakuto has more ideas of its own, and even disregards the suitable person's ideas?

And the most serious question he faced at the moment was, where should he find her?

Dazed for a moment, he recalled the night when Kuchiki Rukia and Xia Li knocked on her door in Runlin'an.It's hard to imagine how many trails they ran and how many passers-by they asked in order to find a self who had no spiritual pressure.At that time, I only thought that if I left without saying goodbye, if I took the initiative to leave, I could keep her away from danger and not be involved in this matter.It turned out how wrong I was.

She knocked on that door.

So God knows, when she opened the door and saw Xia Li, who was obviously tired and her eyes brightened, she had to pretend to be indifferent, what a deadly and numb disguise.

So, so say.

This time, is the exchange of plots asking me to find her, as a trial, or as a punishment?

This world is Xia Li's heart, perhaps, her Zanpakuto also has the creator's share.If you really don't want to see yourself, you will definitely find a way to refuse.So I must find her.Even if you don't know where your destination is or when you want to go, you must find it.You must always find the moment when you are recognized and accepted, and always find the moment when she appears.

beyond reproach.

The boy stood quietly in the wind for a while, then suddenly walked towards the direction in front of him.No one can ask the way, just keep walking and keep going.Through the endless golden light in front of his eyes, he seemed to be able to see someone waiting for him at the other end.walk up to her.

Time and space overlapped, as if she had stayed on her lonely and cold ice field, waiting for him to take her back.

He finally understood that he was also constantly looking for her.

There is no hesitation at all.

As he turned over another low hill, he began to feel a sting from the bright gold everywhere...he finally saw something unusual, and to be precise, it was a person.

Of course, Captain Hitsugaya was not too surprised because that was not the person he was looking for.Although Xia Li's black hair is very conspicuous, that person's is not bad.It is very light gray, and it can still be seen clearly at a glance in the golden wheat waves that have long been used to.His first reaction was... Could this be fragmentation? !However, a sentence Xia Li once said rang in his ears.

"There is someone who is trapped in my inner world by me."

The young man couldn't help but wonder, maybe this is the person trapped by her?

That person happened to be looking over here too.When he saw Hitsugaya, he seemed to be taken aback for a moment, and then walked over to meet him.

"It's you?!" The snow-haired boy saw clearly when he got closer. The person in front of him was the young servant who brought him to see "Chien Sen".

The gray-haired boy lowered his head slightly, very modest, at least on the surface. "Your Highness Hitsugaya. You also... came in on your own initiative? Or, has it already started?!"

"What started?"

"Don't you want to use this place as a different world?" The little servant named Ai looked at him sideways, "You don't know or what? What happened outside?!"

"I'm here to take you out."

He froze for a moment, then let out a smile. "I reject."

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

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

The black as ink-colored spring water crawls under the feet, gurgling and murmuring.What greets me is the endless wheat waves.It's the same as the last time I came here in memory.There is a sense of inexplicable freedom in the world that is too vast and empty.

Kurosaki Xiali lowered her head, and her eyes were peacefully fragmented.She breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what, she felt a little at ease when she saw its appearance.She knew that what she was going to do this time was to create a different world, and then let the outsiders seal it up, and bring Hitsugaya Toshiro and Ai back to the virtual circle.Surely you need to use its abilities, right?

"Zhili, where are the others?" Looking up, there was no shadow around.And she thought that if she entered her inner world, she would see those two people.If Shiro Dong didn't come in, at least Ai would be there too.But now, no one is there.

"You want to see them?" came the fragmented voice very erratically.

"I want to open a different world, and then bring them back. Dong Shilang and Ai." Xia Li blinked, and for some reason, a feeling of uneasiness suddenly surfaced.

The disjointed answers made her immediately understand where her uneasiness lies.It said it was impossible.

"Varied?!"

"The two of them can't get out."

Xia Li stood there with her eyes wide open, infinitely astonished.

"Impossible! You must have a way!" She gritted her teeth, "When I was trapped in Dong Shilang's ice field, didn't he bring me out too!"

"That's because his idiot Ice Dragon didn't tell him that he will definitely lose this master." Zhili talked about the King of the Ice and Snow Department with a little disdain, but his voice suddenly became dignified, "I don't want to lose you. "

As I said, the only one who can understand me in this world is you.

You can let me create the most domineering world with your most gorgeous Reiatsu.

But you are the only one who doesn't understand me the most.

... You don't understand what I'm waiting for, what I'm pursuing.

"But now he..." Xia Li remembered that Hitsugaya was no longer restrained by the bracelet, and all her spiritual pressure was restored.Naturally, there will be no more ice wheel pills lost.

"Things are not as simple as you think, Xia Li." Zhili seemed to understand what she was thinking, "His behavior will separate the god of death from his own Zanpakuto, there is no reason, this is fate. Maybe it should be called a curse... more appropriate Right. Now that his spiritual pressure has recovered, it doesn’t mean it’s the same as before. He’s not qualified to pick up the ice wheel pill again. Otherwise, the ice wheel pill should have appeared in his hand the moment he recovered his spiritual pressure!”

It was as thrilling as owning that weapon for the first time.

But he didn't.

The girl thought of Hitsugaya's hands that were always empty, and the place on her chest seemed to be empty.She opened her mouth, but didn't speak.

Does he know about this matter?

So what is he going to do?What should I do with the ice wheel pills?

Could it be that he has been waiting for his next master in the ice field?

She thought of every lonely day and night she spent with the ice blue dragon, and she was so bitter that she didn't know how else to speak.

Because someone has been with you, you will understand the pain of loneliness better.

"...Unless," Zhili suddenly said again, "Reaper and Zanpakuto can re-sign a contract."

"What contract?!" As if grabbing a life-saving straw, Xia Li squatted down and looked down at the spring, with a little eagerness in her gaze.

"I can help you... Let that guy Hirinmaru meet him again... As for how to sign the contract, it's their business."

"You..." Xia Li just wanted to agree, but paused again, "What are the conditions?"

"I want you to answer me a question honestly."

"what is the problem?"

"Do you have any ambition, suitable person?!"

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

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

"Do you know what you're talking about?!" Hitsugaya frowned, "You will be sealed in this place forever."

"That's not important." Ai Pingping gave him a flat look, "Miss Merwitt's request. Even if it is death, I will obey."

I consider myself more reliable than some people.

Essentially, he disdains talking to Toshiro Hitsugaya.Even though he was stuck in this place for some time, he still didn't want to pay attention to that person.So he turned his head away and went to look at the endless wheat waves in the distance.

"You!" Hitsugu was furious.What a stubborn guy.He sighed, sat down in the golden awning, scratched his hair, "I think, I can tell you what happened outside first, and you can judge for yourself whether it is worth staying here."

Just when the snow-haired boy finally finished telling the story, he found that Ai looked at his back and opened his eyes suddenly.He couldn't help turning his head back.

It's Xiali.

The black-haired girl stood not far from them with a faint smile on her lips.As she approached, the wheat waves suddenly rolled behind her like a struggling tide, and the bright golden color stung someone's eyes.

"Xia Li!" Hitsugaya jumped up, not knowing why his heart ached for no reason.It always felt a little bad, but he didn't understand why.

"Dongshilang." Xia Li looked into his green eyes calmly, "I just made a deal with Zhili."

ha?Make a deal with your Zanpakuto?

When he was still thinking about how weird it would be to make a deal with his Zanpakuto, he heard Xia Li say. "It promised me to do what I asked... to create a different world and send the two of you out."

"If this is a promise, what is the condition...?"

Xia Li looked into his eyes coldly, and the chuckle at the corner of her mouth disappeared. "I want your Binglun Wan."

To her surprise, Hitsugaya lowered his eyebrows and smiled. "Xia Li, the connection between Zanpakuto and its master cannot be interrupted just by interrupting."

"That's right, at least Zhili doesn't think so. Don't forget, it's an out-and-out Zanpakuto."

"Then it is planning...how?"

Xia Li looked into his eyes seriously. "That depends on what you do, Dongshiro."

Before he finished speaking, starting from the boundary at the end of the sky, the color of the golden wheat awns faded, and the ice-white snow line flowed rapidly, spreading to his feet in an instant.At some point, the two people around him had disappeared, and in the blink of an eye, the whole world faded into the snowstorm and severe cold that he was extremely familiar with.The snow-haired boy suddenly tensed every blood vessel and every nerve in his body, because no one knew this feeling better than him... This has accompanied him through countless years...

...his ice field.

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

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

"You can't escape, Kurosaki Ichigo." On the top of Xuye Palace, which was as white as snow, dark colors exploded and spread, covering most of the sky long ago.Ulquiorra's deep and indifferent voice was more like the curse of Night Demon Reaper.The bony bone wing is unbelievably powerful.At this moment, those deep green eyes are staring closely at the dusty scene below.

The top of the hall, which was struggling to resist the attacks of both sides just now, was finally smashed to pieces in another round of battle.It was so thoroughly broken that it was hard to recognize, and the dust and smoke covered the sight.But Ulquiorra knew that his spiritual pressure was still there.In a very distant place, Inoue Orihime can also feel that Kurosaki Ichigo is still alive.

Seeing the two fighting, unreachable people, Inoue suddenly had the illusion that he was looking through a glass, watching them fighting fiercely with another self.Although they don't have the same appearance, the two have the same unyielding attitude, and they fight together persistently and fiercely without flinching in order to pursue a meaning that she can't understand.Bleeding, broken, those dripping colors are like catalysts, making their blood boil in the cold air.Even the stars in the eyes are shining brightly.

"We are destined to be rivals."

Just for this kind of illusory so-called fate, is it necessary to put the other party to death? !

There was no denying that they were keeping the fight away from her with an unspoken tenderness, but that didn't mean she wanted to.

Finally, when the dust settled a little and the vision became clearer, Ulquiola saw Ichigo move his arm from the broken rubble with difficulty, and then a mouthful of blood coughed out of his throat without warning.At the place on his chest, the gurgling liquid could no longer be suppressed.

"Kurosaki-san!" Inoue gritted his teeth fiercely.The distance was too far, she couldn't reach him in time.But that didn't stop her from continuing to run towards him.With all her strength, she ran towards where Ichigo was.

The lofty No.40 Blade spoke coldly, his already indifferent tone even more cruel as ice. "He can't be saved."

"Ulquiorra!" Orihime Inoue pointed towards the roof of the hall from a distance like the horn of the sky.However, just calling this name made her trembling lips unable to continue.She bit her lower lip hard to stop the trembling, until warm fishy sweetness flowed down her lips and teeth.All the words and sentences converged into a mournful and shaking look, which was decisive and mighty in the bright eyes.

Enough, enough!

I want you to stop, and I also want Kurosaki-san to stop.Why must this be so? !

Ulquiola saw Inoue Orihime's excited and fierce eyes.At that moment, it seemed that a large number of black-feathered crows flew across the pale sky, and the whole world was deserted and empty.He suddenly wanted to see more clearly, wanted to get close to her to see that look.So Inoue almost hit Ulquiola in the next second.His speed and even his own sight are difficult to track.She stopped abruptly and stared at the devil who suddenly appeared in front of her and stretched out his night wings.

"Get out of the way." Inoue's voice trembled slightly.

"Why did you save him? You should know that if he stands up again, he will still fall in front of me."

Inoue stared into his dark green eyes, stuttering every word. "It's impossible for me to watch Kurosaki-san fall and remain indifferent."

"Because he is your companion?"

Inoue's eyes became very complicated. This time, she paused before speaking. "No, you are the same, Ulquiorra. If you are the one who fell, I will save you."

Time was like the wind, and Ulquiola felt that something was filling his empty chest along with the wind.

It's the feeling of being filled.

Is this... the heart...?
