Return of the Mask

Crossing the boundary between death and void, such an existence itself is not allowed to exist, this is balance.

Maybe when it will disappear, but in what way and when it will disappear, no one in this world knows about this kind of thing.

And she was able to leave the virtual circle, went to other worlds, and finally returned to this world. She has lived for more than 100 years and is already a matter of gratitude.

By the time they walked out of Division [-], night had completely fallen.

Two patrolling gods of death passed by the small road directly opposite the [-]th Division, and when they saw her, they stopped and bowed slightly.

"But this kind of thing is not the most important thing." Seeing Otoki's expression, Nirvana Yuri squinted her eyes as if thinking she was stupid. "The power of this kind of existence itself is beyond your estimation."

Yinshu's lips moved, and his eyes stayed on the big screen.

After a long time, her expression finally changed.

Pursing her lips, she looked away, looked at Nie Yuli, raised her eyebrows and said, "Will it be stronger than Aizen?"

"Say," Nirvana Mayuri grinned, revealing a row of teeth, "who knows."

In fact, she had already died once, and today's news was not enough to shock her into a state of depression.

Since she was lucky enough to get an extra opportunity, even an opportunity with such good conditions, what she should do now is to make good use of the current time and make good use of the strength in her body.

I remember the last time when she broke into Seireitei as a traveler, she told Yeyi that the captain of the [-]th team and Ichigo both played in the same way, and they both played desperately.

In fact, why is she not like this now?

No matter how aware she was in an environment where she could die at any time before, but because she had never experienced death herself, that feeling was completely different from what she could feel now.

For her, death is no longer a fear.

Taking a deep breath, she turned and left.

The first thing she did after leaving Team [-] was to find Run Lin'an.After all, the task will be assigned tomorrow, and she has to make a decision today whether she wants to participate or not.

Yinshu finally found her at the gate of the Fourth Division. It seemed that one of her friends was injured, so she sent him over.

"Eh? Let me go to the present world together?!" Run Lin'an widened his eyes in surprise, and pointed at himself.

Yinshu walked to the edge of the steps and sat down, nodded. "Ah, can I ask you?"

"But... I still don't even know how to understand it..." Somewhat embarrassedly scratching his cheeks, Run Lin'an looked at the knife in his waist, "Can I help you?"

Yinshu was silent for a while, then slowly said: "You... do you know that I actually died more than 100 years ago?"

I don't know why Yinshu suddenly changed the subject, Run Lin'an froze for a moment, then nodded.

"Actually, I didn't die. After I woke up, my soul was attached to a human being in this world. That human should have died before I came."

Run Lin'an frowned and listened half-understood, and continued to look at Yinshu suspiciously.

"That human being is called Yuannai Yinshu. She is studying at Lihai University. She has parents and a younger sister. The younger sister's name is Yuannai Zhishu." Yinshu put his hands on the ground, leaned back slightly, and looked up at her With a gradually stiff expression, "She had a friend named Monobe Chidori, but it was this person who caused her to fall down the stairs and die."

Run Lin'an took a step back, looking at her with a pale face, a little absent-minded.

Yinshu looked at her, waiting for her to slowly accept the message.

After a long time, she swallowed, and whispered in a trembling voice: "Vice Captain Gennai... is attached to me?" Her expression was weird and stiff.

"Will it feel particularly disgusting?" Yinshu raised his eyebrows, and smiled indifferently, "Because I entered that body immediately after you died, so your family members don't know that you are actually dead."

"This time I go to the present world to perform missions, and I don't have much time to stay in Kanagawa, and it's not very convenient to run with that body. After all, the human body has an identity, which is completely different from Yoshiko."

Run Linan's eyes widened in surprise.

"Do you... want me to go into that body?"

Yinshu nodded.

Pursing his lips, Run Lin'an lowered his head and clenched his fists. "Then why bother... just let them think that the sound tree in the source is dead... This is the truth..."

Yinshu looked at her silently.

"Vice-captain Gennai can leave that body alone... One day they will know that I'm dead..."

After a long time, seeing that she didn't seem to want to talk anymore, Yinshu said:

"is this okay?"

Run Lin'an was slightly shocked, but did not raise his head.

"I don't care, after all, that's not my identity," Yinshu turned his head and looked at the night, "But if you leave it alone, whether it's your parents, your sister, or even you Your classmates will panic, right?"

"Classmates?" Run Lin'an had a mocking expression on his face, "I don't have any good classmates at school."

"Yes." Yin Shu frowned at her, "It's just that you always thought you were unpopular, so even this point was ignored."

Run Lin'an was taken aback, and looked at Yinshu.

"What's more, if you leave that body alone now, the people around you will not know your 'death', but mine." After a pause, Yinshu raised his eyebrows and said, "And you don't feel that what you just said Is it actually irresponsible?"

"If you want to say that there is also the deputy captain responsible for Yuannei!" Run Lin'an said with wide-eyed eyes.

"Haha!" Yinshu smiled, then looked at her meaningfully and said, "Actually, you have changed a lot, haven't you?"

"Seize the last chance to say goodbye to your relatives. In fact, there are so many souls in the soul world, and you are the only one who has this chance." Yin Shu said leisurely.

"I..." Run Lin'an hesitated.

"Don't be afraid of seeing your family," Yinshu said lightly, "When I first came to Soul Soul Realm, I was often afraid of thinking of my family."

"Will they cry? Are they still crying now? How are they doing now? In the future... When they pass away and come to Soul Soul Realm, what will it be like if they meet again?" Yin Shu He spoke slowly, and then laughed at himself, "Actually, in such a large corpse and soul world, it is impossible to meet people you knew before you were alive, but I didn't know that at the time."

"I said I was afraid...in fact, I also had a little expectation..."

Run Linan was silent, then walked up the steps and sat beside Yinshu.

"And after a long time, the fear completely turned into expectation, and then the expectation became blank."

"In the end, I don't even remember the appearance of my relatives before my death."

"So, wouldn't it be great to have such an opportunity?" Yin Shu looked at the night sky and said leisurely, "This is not an opportunity I specially gave you, it's just a special task for you."

Run Lin'an was taken aback, looked at Yinshu, then turned around, hesitating.

In the end, she still pursed her lips and nodded with a smile, and clenched her hands.

"By the way," Yinshu turned his head and said to her, "About Zhishu..."

Before Yinshu could finish speaking, Run Lin'an interrupted her: "Vice Captain Yuannai, I know what you're going to say."

"I used to be jealous of Zhishu, because she was always so popular and confident. She and I are sisters, but the contrast is so big. It always makes me feel weird and annoying that she likes my sister so much. Like mocking me."

Taking a deep breath, Run Lin'an said with a smile: "But my mentality has completely changed, the moment my soul left my body."

Yinshu looked at her lightly, with a smile on his lips.

Run Lin'an looked at his clenched hands and smiled. Such an expression is not something a person with low self-esteem would have.

"I don't know if it's like it's written in the book. When people die, those people who think of them are people who mean a lot to them. I saw my parents, and I also saw Zhishu...but when I died, they Not by my side, I couldn't see them for the last time..." The clasped hands tightened, and Run Lin'an lowered his head.

"As Vice Captain Gennai said, I'm actually just afraid. But I'm different from Vice Captain Gennai, the things I'm afraid of..."

"I'm not very good at communicating with my parents, and I'm very indifferent to Zhishu. If I die like this, will they still be disappointed in me in the end? How sad will they be? And just now... I was thinking, What would happen to me if I saw them again? What should I say..."

"But... after arriving in Soul Soul Realm and summoning the Zanpakuto to protect myself, I don't think I'm as bad as I thought." After a pause, she laughed, "Actually, I'm pretty good too. , It’s not as bad as I thought, but after living for more than 10 years, my parents and Zhishu know me better than myself..."

"With me like this, I should be able to stand in front of them again...... Then, say goodbye to them."

After Run Lin'an left, Yin Shu sat on the steps for a long time.

I don't know how much time passed, and a person sat down beside me.

"Ah, Xiaobai, are you really here?"

"It's been a long time," said the person beside him, closing his eyes. "Are you really planning to let her go with you?"

"Do you think I'm joking?"

"Even if the place where she stays is not the area where the face is active," Hitsugaya said slowly, frowning, "but there is no guarantee that there will be no accidents, and she may not be able to handle it with her strength."

"Don't worry," Yinshu said with a sigh of relief, "The god of death in that place turned out to be the chief officer of the second division, even if he was at the bottom, he wouldn't be so bad."

"There's a big difference between chairmen," Hitsugaya reminded her, "especially after he's taken a long break from being a chairperson."

Yinshu chuckled, and looked at him meaningfully: "Xiaobai cares about Run Lin'an very much, why don't you go to this world too? Isn't that guaranteed?"

"I am the leader of the current team." Hitsugaya closed his eyes and said with bulging veins.

"Ah, is that so?" Yinshu looked at the sky innocently, then waved her hand, "Well, don't talk about it," yawned, she rubbed her eyes and said, "How is your childhood sweetheart?"

Hitsugaya looked at her with a weird look, then turned his head and fell silent for a while, then said, "If you're talking about Chisen, she hasn't woken up yet."

"Is that so..." After a pause, Yinshu raised his eyebrows and said, "The vice-captain of the fifth team was completely fooled by Aizen. When he wakes up later, he looks normal, and maybe he still thinks Aizen in his heart. Captain, I hope you can get Aizen back."

Hitsugaya remained silent, frowning more and more tightly.

Yin Shu turned his head and glanced at him, couldn't help laughing, and stretched out his hand subconsciously.However, he stopped when he was about to touch his forehead, and then slowly withdrew his hand.

Hitsugaya was taken aback and looked at her.

Turning his head away unnaturally, Yinshu propped his chin with his hands and said, "Be careful, I think Chisen is in a very dangerous situation now."

"...Ah..." After a pause, Hitsugaya frowned and changed the subject, "Are you still looking for Mayuri Nirvana?"

Yinshu raised his eyebrows. "ah."

"You..." He spoke hesitantly, but was interrupted by Yinshu in the next second.

"Xiaobai, do you still remember your relatives?"

Hitsugaya was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at the night, and a hoarse voice sounded slowly: "The soul has stayed in the soul world for so long, it is impossible to remember that kind of thing again."

"For me, grandma and Chisen are my relatives."

"Thinking about it like this is really indifferent... No matter who it is," Yin Shu murmured, suddenly thought of something, and frowned, "Am I not your relative? Although it happened 100 years ago, don't tell me I, you have forgotten what I look like? I am by your side now!"

Hitsugaya looked back at her helplessly.

The corner of Yinshu's mouth twitched: "What kind of expression are you... as if you are laughing at me..."

"Ah, what you say is fine." With a smile in his eyes, Hitsugaya finally said.

"Why do you say it so reluctantly..." Yinshu complained.

Turning around, she was silent for a long time, and said, "How would it feel to be left without saying goodbye..."

Hitsugaya was slightly taken aback, and turned to look at her in surprise.However, the look of surprise was slowly settled by the lake green, and it became complicated.

"Suddenly realized that I always do this kind of thing." Scratching his cheeks, Toneki closed his eyes and said, "When I die, will I, Gennai Toneki, become a particularly bad person in the impression of others? What about people?"

"It's like 'You're a woman, but you always like to play handsome and leave without saying goodbye' or something like that..."

"Just don't do this kind of thing again in the future." With a sigh of relief, Hitsugaya closed his eyes and frowned.

"It's not an easy thing, at least for me," Yinshu stretched his waist and said, "Hey, Xiaobai, so that I don't become a bad person, let's say a simple farewell now , like saying 'goodbye' or something."

Hitsugaya looked at her with a sullen expression for a long time, and finally avoided her question, and said directly: "What did Nirvana Yuri say to you?"

"He." After a pause, Yinshu smiled brightly, "He said he didn't realize how powerful I am until today after he came out of the maggot lair for so long!"

Hitsugaya didn't smile.

Glancing at him helplessly, Yin Shu stood up, patted the hem of his clothes, and waved his hand. "Well, after more than 100 years, you are still boring, Xiaobai, it's getting late, let's see you tomorrow."

However, before he took a step forward, a hoarse voice sounded behind him.

"'This time I have time to say goodbye to you', that's what a truly powerful person would say. Things like going to die without saying goodbye," paused, "I don't think it's more like Did a coward do it?"

Yinshu stood there, dazed.

After a long time, a soft sigh came from behind, and there was an imperceptible sense of loss in the hoarse voice.

"After more than 100 years, it turns out that you still don't like to share the pain with others."
