return trip

The process of the few people arriving at Xuye Palace was unexpectedly smooth. Rukia paused for a moment when she stood outside the wall. She looked at Yulong with the same dignified expression, and said, "You think it's too smooth."

"Well," Uryu called to Ichigo who was about to split the wall with Zan Yue, "Ichigo, don't be impulsive, it will be bad if it's a trap."

"Inoue must be somewhere inside, don't you feel it?" Ichigo waved Zangetsu firmly in his hand, "Even if it is a trap, I will go."

"Idiot!" Yulong cursed angrily, and had no choice but to enter through the mostly destroyed outer wall.

"Ichigo, I really have you," Renji gave a thumbs up to Ichigo, marveling at the degree of damage to the outer wall, "It seems that you have made great progress during this time."

Ichigo put Zhanyue behind his back and said bluntly, "Of course."

Lianji said enthusiastically: "Then when this is over, I must fight you again. I won't let you because you are a woman."

"Okay."

"You two," Lucia interrupted them with black lines all over her face, "stop for a while, do you remember the business we came here for?"

"Haha," Renji patted his head, "Let's go."

There is only one passage on the outside, they have no choice but to walk along that road, at first they always encounter some not so delicate traps, but as time goes by, they are almost forced by the successive traps behind them. into another path.

A road with several forks.

Only then did the few calmly stop. Before that, they were not very familiar with Xuye Palace, so it was difficult for them to choose which path to choose.

Renji stood in the middle, obviously very interested in the intersection in the middle: "I think it must be this."

"It should be the one next to him." Ichigo resolutely refused to make the same choice as him, pointing to the left direction and making a sound.

"It's really hard to choose." Rukia stood there and pondered for a moment, then turned her eyes to the dark entrance on the right.

With one hand on the other elbow, Yulong couldn't help but say to them: "Do you think this is just a play? Judging from the traps just now, every road here is different. If you choose randomly, there will be dangers." □□annoying."

As he spoke, Yulong looked at Chadu, who had remained silent all along, and felt that his current behavior was quite clever: "Chadu, you think so too, right?"

Chadu raised his head, the hair on his forehead covered his eyes: "I'll listen to Ichigo."

"...a group of idiots." Yulong knew that he shouldn't expect too much.

"Then what do you say?" Ichigo asked him.

"Although this behavior is very unwise, judging from the current situation, it might be a good idea for us to split up." Yulong looked at the five gates that were almost tailor-made for them. "Since the enemy wants to disperse us strength, we will let them see our strength."

"There is no better way now, just do what Ishida said," Rukia first agreed with this decision, giving her companion a look of trust, "It will be fine."

Time was running out, they glanced at each other, turned around and headed in the direction they decided, no matter what happened next, it was their own decision.No matter where they are, as long as they can feel each other's spiritual pressure, they won't worry too much. After all, they are all fighting for the ultimate goal.

Crossing the dark road, Ichigo caught a few gleams of light ahead, and she was even more sure that the place ahead was what she was looking for, so she quickened her pace, and at the same time, she was wary of the sudden appearance of a broken face. The trap just now left her a lot of trouble. Small psychological shadow.

Ichigo looked at the hall in front of him, which was almost the same as the room just now, and quickly looked around.

"What are you doing running so fast, it's not easy for me to chase after you just now." The rough-looking man poked his index finger from behind Ichigo who was about to search for the broken face.

With a shake of his body, Ichigo ran forward and turned around after making sure that the other party hadn't caught up. He was a strange old man who started dancing on his own.

Ichigo let go, it turned out to be a false alarm.

"Uncle, you are going to scare me to death."

Doludoni stopped his swaying movements and showed a probing look: "Girl, what are you here for?"

Ichigo gave him a complicated look, but still explained why he came: "I'm here to save my companion."

Doludoni made a surprised expression: "You are so brave, girl." Then he put away his playful look, and his face darkened, "But it would be too naive to casually reveal this to the enemy."

"You bastard!"

"Don't call me that, I have a name," Dorudoni then told Ichigo his own name, "How about it, be afraid."

Ichigo hadn't heard of this person at all, and said hurriedly: "Uncle Panini, I'm really in a hurry, please let me go."

"It's Dorudoni!" Dorudoni emphasized his name.

"I'm sorry, Pa... Dorudoni, it's Uncle Dorudoni." Ichigo changed his words in time, and the face of the person opposite him eased up.

Dorudoni stopped Ichigo who was about to leave: "Girl, the road ahead is not as easy as you imagined, why don't you obediently come with me to see Lord Aizen."

"Aizan?" Hearing this name, Ichigo frowned, he was like a fog, Ichigo still couldn't understand what he was thinking, but the other party was like air wrapped around every inch of her body.From that letter, she knew that all this was destined to be not as simple as she imagined.

"Girl, are you afraid?" Doludoni pointed to the passage, "If you go that way, the opponent you meet won't be as talkative as me."

"It seems that it doesn't make sense to you, so I'm sorry uncle," Ichigo pulled out Zan Yue, "I have a reason to go."

……

Ichimaru Gin walked out of the monitoring room, with his hands hanging by his sides, his head raised slightly, and with his usual weird and unpredictable smile on his lips, he walked all the way along the corridor to Aizen's usual office.

Aizan was reporting to Aizan about the intruder's battle with the former ten blades. Aizan's knuckles were beating on the armrest of the seat. Ichimaru Gin walked up to him and Aizen said to Aizan: "Who made you Sending the funeral troops to deal with Kurosaki Ichigo?"

Pomian heard the words sweating on his forehead, and explained in a panic: "Yes...it's Sir Saar Apollo..."

The door was pushed open, and the person involved, Sal Apollo, appeared behind him.

This Pomian is afraid of Aizen, and also afraid of his boss, Sal Apollo, who loves to torture people. He can't even explain it. If he says the wrong thing, he will definitely kill him!

Sal Apollo did as he thought, just waved his hand, and two attendants walked in behind him, holding his arms and dragging him out.

Saar Apollo bowed slightly to Aizen: "Master Aizen, it's true that I gave the order. This is just to better analyze the intruder's spiritual pressure and ability. I believe you can understand, Aizen-sama."

Aizen stood up and looked down at Saar Apollo: "Oh? Is that so."

"Yes, Aizen-sama."

"If something like this happens again, you should be very clear about your fate." After Aizen dropped these words, Sal Apollo's face stiffened for a moment, and he gritted his teeth and left.

Ichimaru Gin squinted at Aizen's reaction, although the other party didn't show it, Ichimaru Gin could sense the evil nature of his appearance.

"Captain Aizen, you really enjoyed it," said Ichimaru Gin.

"Yin, you've been going to the surveillance room much more frequently than before," Lan Ran gave him a sideways glance, "Is there anyone you care about?"

Ichimaru Gin knew that he knew what he was thinking, but he still maintained a smile and pretended to say: "Captain Aizen also knows that people like me don't care about others."

"After all, I don't even care about myself."

"That's the best way."

Dorudoni still failed to stop Ichigo in the end, he supported his body with a weapon, pointed to the only passage and said to Ichigo: "Girl, thank you very much for your hard work to make me feel the joy of fighting." .Go and rescue your friend."

His words concealed the danger ahead. For Ichigo, even if he told her, it still couldn't stop her from moving forward.

Ichigo thanked him and ran towards the direction he pointed.

She didn't see the mortuary troops that descended from the sky after she left.

Ichigo walked all the way along the dark corridor, the surroundings were very quiet, only the sound of her hurried footsteps could be heard.The dim environment made people uncomfortable, she groped and slid to another space under her feet.

It was a very empty place, she stood up patting the dust on her body, and the humming echo could still be heard when she just fell down.

"Crack-"

A large beam of light fell on the stairs ahead, and the door slowly opened. Ichigo stared at the shadow that appeared behind the door, and took a few steps forward.

"Who?" she asked.

The sound of footsteps on the stairs gradually pulled them into their position, and under the interlaced light and shadow, Ichigo could clearly see each other's appearance.

It was the broken face from last time.

"It's you, Ulquiorra." Ichigo called out his name.

Urquiola heard his name from her mouth, lowered his eyelids and continued to walk in front of her: "It's rare that you still remember my name."

"What are you doing here...? Are you also here to stop me?" Ichigo tentatively asked.

"That question is meaningless," Ulquiorra said.

Ichigo frowned: "Then you go, I don't want to fight with you."

"Woman, figure out the situation, our current relationship is an enemy." Urquiola quickly pinched her chin.

Ichigo held his wrist, he didn't seem to feel the pain, and he didn't want to let go.Ichigo stared at him: "Although from a standpoint, you and I are indeed enemies, but you didn't hurt my companion, and I have no reason to fight you."

"You came here to save that woman," Urquiola said slowly, "I brought her to the virtual circle."

"You!" Ichigo's eyes widened, and he didn't hesitate to strike.

Ulquiola had already expected her actions, and moved back a step to avoid the attack. Seeing that she was obviously irritated by him, her chest was heaving with anger, and the imprint of his fingers was still on her chin .

Human heart, angry emotion.

Very subtle changes.

He continued to speak, and the words he said piled up into countless sharp swords, as if trying to see if he could pierce her heart with one blow: "All this is just to attract you to the Soul Realm."

Ichigo held Zhanyue's hand tremblingly and put it down, her expression on her face was confused and annoyed, she looked at the speaker: "What do you mean by that?!"

Master Aizen wants you.

U/Ulquiola knew the answer should be like this, but by some coincidence, he gave the order very clearly in his mind, and there was no need to tell her that.

He turned to Ichigo with a ring, the huge Reiatsu was like a huge mountain pressing down on Ichigo, he couldn't breathe, he watched Ichigo maintain a standing posture, and said in a low voice, "Has the medicine not worked yet?"

Ichigo looked at him in disbelief when he heard the words, his body was so numb that he couldn't move, if he hadn't stood in front of him, he would probably fall down in the next moment.

Urquiola glanced at her expression blankly: "You really don't feel anything at all."

U/Ulquiola felt her heartbeat spreading from her fingertips, and the blood flowed slowly in her skin, if this barrier was broken...

He moved his hand upwards, this movement was unconscious, he gathered a false flash on his fingertips, and Ichigo didn't even have time to push him away.

"Hey, it's not good to do this." Ichimaru Gin appeared behind Ichigo at some point, and Shunpo picked her up and moved her behind Ulquiorra.

Ulquiola put his hand back to its original position, turned around and looked at Gin Ichimaru who suddenly appeared expressionlessly, and was naturally displeased with his interruption.

Ichimaru Gin kept smiling: "If you kill her, it will be very difficult for me."

Ulquiola glanced at Ichigo's already stiff expression, and roughly guessed that Aizen was coming, and there was no need for him to stay any longer.

"what ever."

Ichimaru Gin looked down at Ichigo after he left, and complained a few words: "That guy's medicine is fine, no matter how stupid he looks."

"...Put me down." Ichigo felt that even his tongue was stiff.

"Hush—" Ichimaru Gin lowered his voice, pretending to be mysterious, "Let me hug you for a while."

"why?"

"There is no reason." Ichimaru Gin tightened his hands, feeling the warm body temperature that had not been seen for a long time.

The ultimate effect of the medicine is to make people in a semi-comatose state.

And all of this will soon be over.

Aizen walked slowly down the almost endless stairs, and the sound of footsteps fell in the empty space. He stopped halfway, looking down at Ichimaru Gin.Ichimaru Gin was slightly stunned, the person in his arms was still clinging to him, and he himself knew very well how irrational his current behavior was.

Aizen appeared in front of Ichimaru Gin in an instant, watching Ichigo buried in his arms with great interest, he stretched out his hand to tuck up a strand of long hair of Ichigo, the orange color was scattered, hanging in the dark circle like hanging in the sky the moon.

"Yin, have you had enough trouble?" Aizen asked him like this.

"Well, what did Captain Aizen say?" Gin Ichimaru put on his trademark fox-like smile, "I just did what I wanted to do."

"Very good, leave her to me." Aizen was not in a hurry, he already knew the other party's answer.And the Kurosaki Ichigo he embraced and cherished has long been his possession, she is his absolute possession, no one can refute this matter, and it cannot be changed.

Even though Ichimaru Gin was greedy for this warmth, he still quickly felt the coldness in his arms. The other party unconsciously tugged on his cuff before leaving. Leave the choice to Ichimaru Gin.

The closest distance between Ichimaru Gin and her was the moment when she knocked off her hand. The crisp sound and the muffled hum of the other party seemed to have suffered some kind of painful complaint in a dream.

Aizen raised the corners of his mouth, and left with his possessions in his arms. Gin Ichimaru quietly opened his narrowed eyes, but no smile appeared on the corners of his mouth.

Aizen's residence was very empty, with not much furniture, and the bed was the most conspicuous item in the room.

Ichigo was placed in the middle of the bed by him, and his orange hair was scattered on the white sheet. Even in her dream, she kept frowning tightly. Aizen's hand brushed her brow, as if she felt it was amused, and bowed her head Print a kiss.

His slender fingers slid down Ichigo's side face, paused for a moment at the collarbone, then continued to move, lightly untiing the death suit she was wearing.

He is very familiar with every inch of this body. He has never touched her like this before, and just watched her every move quietly through the surveillance camera.

But this is not enough, all her emotions and her whole soul can only be owned by him.

……

The last faces in Ichigo's mind were Urquiola and Ichimaru Gin. She felt an indescribable feeling that almost made people feel ashamed to death. Her body seemed to be floating on the ocean, and she had to rely on it. Sturdy vessel.

Waking up to find it was like a dream.

She woke up in a strange room, everything was bleak white, her mind was empty, staring at the ceiling above her head, obviously she should be flustered, but unexpectedly calm.

She rubbed her head, lifted the sheet covering her body, and stepped on the cold ground with her bare feet. Only then did she notice that her clothes had been changed, and it was white that almost blended into the environment.

"This isn't that guy's room, is it?" She muttered to herself, thinking that Inoue might be in this place, she immediately opened the door and went out, trying to feel Inoue's spiritual pressure, holding hope between the roads Walking with tension.

There was no one to stop her on the road, and she had no time to take care of these things, as long as Zhanyue was on her body, she felt very at ease.

She stopped in front of the fork and fell into deep thought again. Just like before, she had no way to deal with this situation.

"Hey, what are you looking for?"

The little girl with light green hair patted Ichigo from behind. Ichigo was concentrating on something, but his body shook when he was patted like this. He turned around and saw that it was a little girl, and another uncle with slightly curly hair lazily followed next to her.

"Who are you?" Ichigo asked.

Stark glanced at Lilinette helplessly: "Didn't Master Aizen say not to touch her casually."

Lilinette didn't care about this, she kicked Stark, and introduced herself to Ichigo as if nothing happened: "I know your name, it's Kurosaki Ichigo, right?"

When Ichigo heard the uncle say Aizen's name, he could conclude that they must also be Aizen's subordinates, but it seemed that there was no malice, which made her feel a little relieved.

Stark clutched his stomach and climbed up from the wall that was smashed out of the pit. He asked Ichigo, "Where are you going?"

"You don't want to run away." Lilinite looked at her.

Ichigo doesn't feel that what she is doing now is running away, insisting that she is just looking for someone.

"It's so troublesome, Lilinette, let's go." Stark knew something was wrong when he saw her eyes, and walked back when he mentioned Lilinette.

"Hey Stark! You put me down, I haven't finished yet!" Lilinette thumped in the air, and started a new round of punching and kicking Stark.

Even so, Ichigo saw him pointing himself in the direction before leaving, thanked him for the place they left, and set off on the road to find Inoue again.

The author has something to say: ...the recent review is still confusing, deletions and deletions reduce the pain in the head, and I don’t have the initial feeling after writing. Let’s stop here for now, and there are no more saved manuscripts.Thank you for all the favorites

In the next chapter, there will be a certain ending that I wrote before. If the text is completely dovetailed, then this is the ending. This ending connects to the part where Ichigo just entered the virtual circle. It will be fine if Lan reads it.
