[Death] Void bite

When I was brought to their lair by those ghosts, I was dumbfounded.

The location where I left the black cavity was not far from the edge of this underground forest, and after a short walk, I could see the tall stone wall at the edge.Looking at the arc at the junction of the stone wall and the rock top, I felt unreal, and a picture popped up in my head-the virtual circle I usually live in is a hemisphere, and there is a huge hemispherical pit underground as wide as that.

At that height... No matter how you look at it, you can only fly up.

Their nests are on rocky walls.

When you get closer, you can see that there are large and small caves on the stone wall, which are connected by passages dug between each other. From time to time, you have to jump a few times to reach the destination.I walked with them along the rough plank road to a half-height cave, and they told me that I could rest here and not leave for the time being, and some Xu would come to tell me their rules later.

...No no, these are not the point.

The point is, let’s not say here that there are hundreds, hundreds, and only ones, but the one who asked me just now told me that all of them are their companions.

……What?

What!

I……

I even thought about whether they were the large group of virtuals led by the "lord of virtual circles" that I had heard of, but they denied it.

I don't know what to say... I can only say, is it a good thing that we didn't fight just now?

After they were all gone, I took a random look at the cave, then shrank in the shadow of the cave, and began to try to open the black cavity.

The void in this place is very strange, among other things, it is very strange to maintain such a large void group, and the territory is so large that it is unbelievable.The attitude when it comes to exporting...is also strange.There is such a place in the virtual circle, I never thought of it.

But now I have a place where no one will bother me. If I don’t open my black mouth and leave, can I still stay?

It is their business that they are different from the voids on the ground.

But it didn't go well.

There is probably a range of influence from those natural black cavities before, and obviously I have left that range.I stared in frustration at the black cavity that was finally opened and then stubbornly closed.

Like I said, I'm not good at opening black holes.As much as I regret it now, why didn't I try to practice this before?

How did you do it the first time you opened it?I tried to remember but...

……not understand.

After trying it a few times, I sighed uncomfortably.

Urkiola's Reiatsu is so far away, like a faint firefly on the horizon, sometimes, I'm not even sure if I feel that Reiatsu, let alone feel the Reiatsu as usual. The pressure fluctuated slightly.

Will it be so slowly that even a trace of perception will be completely lost?

Another fight with the black cavity, this time the black cavity closed like a bubble.

I know I'm a little irritated, and irritability is not good for the fine manipulation of Reiatsu, but I don't know what to do.

Before, when I fell into the black cavity, if I shouted——

Ah, he can't hear.

...If you could hear it, would you stop?

Click.

I turned around suddenly, using the last trace of calm to control myself from showing hostility.What's going on here I don't know, but Hollow here obviously has a weird reaction to leaving, and I'm not sure if it's okay to be seen opening the black cavity.

But I was too careless when someone walked behind me and didn't notice it.

Xu Xu who came over spread his hands.

I just saw it.At first glance, there is an illusion that people mistakenly think it is a human figure, but when you look closely at its bent posture, and then consider the Reiatsu—it is an ape.

And the same rattling sound as before, the guy who stepped on the branch and let me find Xuqun at the beginning is probably it, and most likely, it was intentional.

Yuanxu found a place to sit down on his own, and asked, "Do you want to leave?"

What kind of problem is this?

Although I felt awkward, I sat down and asked, "Is it not possible?"

"If you want to open the black cavity and leave, then, no problem."

Its tone of voice was a bit subtle and drawn out, obviously there was something in the words, with an air of "I'm hinting at you".But I'm not in the mood to care about it now, so I replied perfunctorily, "That's good", and continued to practice black cavity in front of it.

"Don't ignore me." Ape Xu didn't expect me to react like this, and he was a little helpless, and then said, "My name is Rogera Koloba."

"I—" I'm not interested.

I really want to answer this way, but there is no need, "Jaran Trinidad. I thought this cave could be reserved for me to rest. If there is nothing else, can I, please leave?"

"I'm afraid I can't. Remember? I'm responsible for explaining our rules to you."

I vaguely remembered that there was such a thing, I nodded and replied "I'm listening", and continued to compete with Heiqiang.

Yuanxu didn't seem to mind explaining on his own.I listened sporadically, and when it talked about the distribution of void colonies in this place, I remembered to avoid the spider's territory, and I didn't care when I heard that they would only conflict with each other every few months , in short, just stay here.Yuanxu's tone kept changing, as if trying to get my attention, but I really didn't understand why it did that.

As if he was about to finish speaking, Yuanxu lowered his voice abruptly.

"—And, the most important rule here is that it is forbidden to kill Yachukas."

I was stunned for a moment, and finally stopped my futile black-tongued practice and looked at Yuanxu, and Yuanxu had an embarrassing look of "you are really interested"...

I even wondered if the sentence just now was made up on purpose.

"The voids of other void groups...isn't Yachukas?" I asked uncertainly

.

"Yes, it's Yachukas. But this is the rule here. There are a lot of Killian here, don't worry about having nothing to eat, little girl." Yuanxu raised his eyebrows exaggeratedly.

I hate that name.

"...Are you serious?"

"Seriously. Don't look at me like this. I used to be a void on the ground. This place is not as big as you thought when you first saw it. After staying for a long time, you will find that it is a small boring place with no exit. If Fighting each other here, soon there will be no one to fight with. This is our rule here."

I also raised my eyebrows exaggeratedly: "Why don't you go?"

Yuan Xu said with a natural expression, "You don't think it's difficult to open the black cavity?"

……

"I've never been very good at using black accents."

I speak slowly.

Yuanxu paused for two seconds before bursting out into a blunt laugh.

I turned around and used the black cavity again, frowning as the lightless passage opened and closed again.The last time the black cavity was opened in a normal state is too long ago. At that time, how big is the black cavity before it can be closed?Can't remember.

Maybe it's more difficult.

"You can't leave anyway, don't ignore me anymore, how about it? Say, you want to leave that much?"

Yuanxu's tone can be called complacent, but I am not happy at all.

When it comes to "do you want to leave", I don't see a reason for me to stay.Although I agreed to work with them, it was because I didn't know much about this place.

just.

...can't go.

I rubbed the stone wall with the tip of my claws, but I haven't quite reacted yet.

"I guess, you want to leave, because there is something to do." Ape Xu came closer, and I just wanted to slap my paw on its mask-except with my prey and the guy who took me as prey , I seldom parted so close.I don't even dare to get so close to Ulkiorra, I thought angrily.

I have never seen a human being, but I always feel that this guy is very human-like, the way he speaks, and the style of action.What does my imaginary human being look like?It's just... This picture makes me not know what to say.

Ah, let's just say it's infuriatingly peaceful.

My reaction seemed to be misunderstood by Yuanxu into something else, Yuanxu continued: "I guessed it right?"

"You can continue to guess, it's none of my business." I replied.

"Don't hate me so much."

"I thought your explanation was over. There are not many such annoying ghosts on the ground." I said sarcastically, while trying to dispel this guy's plan to stay here, I told myself in my heart that the guy here is a whole False groups, I'd better obey their rules.

"This place is full of 'as annoying as me', you will get used to it soon, or you will be bored to death soon." Ape Xu didn't look like he was going to leave at all.

And I don't quite understand what it wants to say. I always feel that there is a hint of malice. Is this a provocation?

"Seriously, you don't want to stay at all?" Yuanxu leaned forward again, "You don't have to worry about being attacked by others here? Besides, you can't leave, so why don't you be unhappy, just give up like this It’s not so bad to stay, is it? Boring is boring, but it won’t die, think about it? Do you think it’s not bad to stay?”

A little.

……A little.

Just a little bit.I changed my sitting posture to look away, staring at the sand on the ground, thinking, just a little bit of sand.

But not because of any security.I know very well why I followed the group of voids back to their lair, why, I would like to stay a little bit.

The Xu here asked me if I wanted to be with them.

When I heard that sentence... I was moved.

...I probably, like the word "companion".

But acknowledging that I had the idea of ​​"just staying here" made me so disappointed in myself that I had to force myself to do something else to distract myself in order to breathe.So even though messing with the black cavity didn't help, I abused my strained spirit like an idiot, watching the black channel open and close repeatedly in front of my claws.

It feels like, betrayal.

Betrayal of myself who had tried so desperately to follow Ulquiorra, who had been so excited just yesterday because he had simply told me his name.

...the betrayal of Urquiorra.

Although he probably doesn't care.

It's just a void that followed him inexplicably and disappeared inexplicably.

"Take a good rest. If you want to use the black cavity, it will be easier to operate the spirit after the rest."

With a change in tone, Yuan Xu, who was still very annoying just now, seemed to have said enough all at once, left this sentence, turned around and left.

I stared at Yuanxu's back.After it left, I looked at the small cave again, looking at the layers of branches of the quartz tree in the distance, and finally, unwillingly, I stretched out my claws, trying to open the black cavity.

Like a flame being extinguished, the black chamber closed quickly, without leaving any traces of course.

……right.

I fell to the ground and closed my eyes in despair.

rest.
