34. We are porters of souls
There is no golden wuxi falling, and there is no jade rabbit rising eastward.
The passage of time is almost inexperiential in this void circle shrouded in darkness, and Zhou Jianwen and the others don't know how long they have been wandering in the void circle, and finally look forward to the contact from the corpse soul world.
"I almost felt like I was going to die of old age in that place."
When TongguΓ² passed through the boundary gate, Bai Lan, who had been walking beside Zhou Jianwen, couldn't help but mutter.
Although Zhou Jianwen, who was leading the team in front, did not answer, he couldn't help but agree with Bai Lan's rare and right-sounding complaint.
According to the contact from the Corpse Soul Realm, Zhou Jian Min roughly knew what their Void Circle Expedition team, led by the captain of the tenth team and the deputy leader of the sixth team, had a total of thirty people who had been here for about fifty days.
Originally, from the Corpse Soul Realm, there was almost no way to open the passage to the Void Circle.
But a while ago, I didn't know what was going on inside the Void Circle - it may also be because the cycle had arrived, and there were frequent large void-level void guΓ² black cavities entering the Corpse Soul Realm and even inside the Soul Court.
It's not a strange thing that a great void appears in the Corpse Soul Realm, but it's not right to be so frequent - it's not that the thirteenth team of the court can't be mobilized, after all, this is also the meaning of the god of death.
But the hometown was raided twice in three days, which is obviously a problem, right?
So the Central Room 46, which finally couldn't sit still, had many discussions, and several captains' meetings were held in the 13th team of the Imperial Court.
In the end, it was the captain of the Juban team, who became the real boat Ken in this world, and the vice captain of the sixth team, Kuchiki Sochun, volunteered. After that, they selected some people from each team, and this formed this elite Imaginary Circle Expedition Team.
In fact, the previous Void Circle Expedition was basically composed of noble children who wanted to accumulate meritorious deeds, or sinners who had committed serious crimes. So if you are not in a hurry to make contributions, ordinary Grim Reapers, generally do not choose to join.
After all, who knows if this is a one-way ticket with no return?
But this time the situation is very different, because the real boat Jian Min and Kuchiki Cangjun who led the team are both members of the five noble families, the latter is the only son of the current head of the Kuchiki family, not to mention, the latter is even the current head of the Zhenzhou family.
As a result, the imaginary circle expedition team, which everyone had avoided for fear of being picked, suddenly became a glorious symbol that only elites could join.
Facts have also proved that the team led by these two people is not only efficient, but even the number of casualties is miraculously zero.
"Actually, the passage opened in the Corpse Soul Realm much earlier than expected."
Usually he is basically a gentle and good person, and there is no aristocratic frame at all, Kuchiki Cangchun replied, "I almost doubt that I won't be able to catch up with Miyoko's production." β
Zhou Jian Wen glanced at him expressionlessly, "...... You married man, don't come and provoke us single dogs. β
In the days of the imaginary circle, Zhou Jian Wen has heard the other party talk about his wife Miyoko and the child in her belly more than once. In Zhou Jianwen's words, this guy's Flag has already been inserted.
And the facts have also proved that the current charge will really be set on fire.
If it weren't for the fact that the other party has amazing spiritual power as a member of the great nobles, and his own skills are not bad; It is estimated that before the communication of the Corpse Soul Realm, his grave grass has already ......
Wait, will grass grow in this place of the Void Circle?
"So why did you choose to join the expedition......
As the descendant of the five nobles, with a wife and a child about to be born, Zhou Jianwen still doesn't understand where the rotten wood Cangchun can't think of it and actually came to the void.
Kuchiki Cangchun didn't answer Zhou Jianwen's question directly, but just asked with a smile, "Then why did Miss Jianwen join this expedition?" β
This question has not yet been answered.
Although she had already explored the setting of "True Boat Creek" in this world before, and she also got relevant memories after completing the main quest, she ......
She really didn't understand why she wanted to join the expedition that had previously been known as the "Death Force".
"Probably...... Want to prove that even a woman can build merit? β
Zhou Jianwen gave an answer that sounded a little unreliable at first glance, although she didn't know why she made this choice in the setting, but if she did it, the reasons were nothing more than these.
"Or is it the pride of being the lord of the five nobles?"
ββ¦β¦ I'm probably the same. β
Kuchimu Cangchun smiled bitterly, "As the son of the head of the Kuchimu family, I also have some things that I have to do. β
Zhou Jian Min was stunned, and suddenly remembered that his body was not very good, but he became the vice captain for the sake of his father and family, and it seemed that he had died in battle. She sighed, and all she could do in the end was pat the rotten wood on the shoulder.
Kuchiki Cangjun: "...... Hey? Am I being comforted? β
However, considering that this was a topic that could only be understood between nobles of the same level, Zhou Jian Wen and Kuchiki Cangchun lowered their voices from beginning to end, so except for Bai Lan on the side, who heard some vaguely, the team members behind them didn't hear anything.
Chatting is indeed a way to pass the time of boredom, especially in this dark cavity full of chaos.
As they spoke, the two of them could already see the light in front of them that seemed to be something they hadn't seen in a long time.
"Welcome back, Captain Masahu!"
"Welcome back, Vice Captain Kuchiki!"
Before Zhou Jianwen, who had lived in the dark for too long, could readjust to the blue sky and white clouds, two voices suddenly sounded on her left and right. Startled, Funakami squinted and found that it was the Grim Reaper standing in two columns, about the members of the Juban and Rokuban teams.
In addition to the team members who were apparently greeting them, there was a dark-skinned woman standing in front of her, wearing a black leotard and a long-sleeved white feather weave, grinning at them.
"Yo, it's been a long time, Cangchun, Jianwen."
Sifengyuan Yeyi had a completely uncontrollable smile on his face.
"I'm finally back."
"It's been a long time, Yayi," Zhou Jian Min and Kuchiki Cangchun glanced at each other, and then walked quickly towards each other, "You're here to pick us up." β
After all, everyone is a member of the five nobles, and they are all familiar with each other.
"As soon as I heard that you were coming back, I hurried over, I thought I would be tossed into what the place in the void circle would be, but now I look at the spirit is good."
It's about seeing a friend who hasn't seen you for a long time.,Originally, in front of others, there was a poker face on the four maple courtyard Yeyi, at this time, it didn't seem to have a shelf at all.γ
Jian Wen snorted, with a look of "I don't believe it".
Although it was the first time they met, because of the memories they got from the system, Zhou Jian Min did treat Yeyi as a friend.
"You're really not here to see if we're missing arms or legs?"
"You? If you want to cut off your arm, you'll probably have to use a double sword. β
The rotten wood Cangchun on the side seemed to be accustomed to seeing the two of them get along, but it was obviously inappropriate for the two great nobles with the status of captains to say such things here at the Crossing Gate, so he immediately persuaded, "Let's go and see the captain first." β
Jian Wen nodded and accepted the proposal, and then she and Yeyi glanced at each other, revealing a smile that knew each other.
"That's right."
"We can't delay Cangchun from going home to see Miyoko."
Kuchiki Cangchun: "......"
- That's why I spoke!
Although a few old acquaintances who hadn't seen each other for a long time chatted happily verbally, they didn't stop at all.
It's just that compared to Zhou Jianwen, who knows the original work and has systematic protection, so she quickly integrated into this world, Bai Lan behind her can only maintain an indifferent face throughout the whole process.
He did have the ability to spy on parallel worlds, but when he arrived in a world that he was not familiar with...... I can only smear my eyes.
- Hey, in fact, he also wants to have a system to escort him!
In fact, Bai Lan didn't really know anything about this world, after all, when he was in the Void Circle, Zhou Jian Min also made up some basic knowledge about this world: such as the Grim Reaper, such as the Void, such as the Soul Slashing Knife.
It was only after getting the setting about this world that Zhou Jianwen discovered that although he had guessed it, it was really verified and it was still a very fucked up thing.
That is, Bai Lan is not the Grim Reaper.
As a retainer of Zhenzhou Jianwen, he followed her to the virtual circle to accumulate meritorious deeds.
After confirming this information, Zhou Jianwen was confused at that time.
"The one from Jian Min's family, since you can't go in, then wait here first."
The other members of the Void Circle Expedition Team were disbanded on the spot because of the news brought by Yeyi, but Bai Lan, who didn't know where she should go at all, could only follow them to the team to resume his life, but because he was not a member of the Guardian Thirteen Team, he could only be locked up at the door and wait.
The boss who almost ruled all parallel worlds in the past can now only be shut out of the door and squatting in the corner, and Bai Lan can only write indifference on her face.
However, Bai Lan's indifferent face didn't last long, because soon two people he didn't know, but the other party knew him, appeared in front of the former villain boss.
"When did there be another janitor at the gate of the Ichiban team?"
ββ¦β¦ Captain, that one is Captain Mafune's attendant. β
Bai Lan, who was about to become a left-behind child, was lowering her head and wondering when Zhou Jian Wen would come out, when she heard two unfamiliar voices suddenly sound.
When he looked up, he saw two people, one black and one white, and the man dressed in a big coat similar to Zhou Jian Wen had long blond hair and looked a little unpumped no matter how he looked at it; And the man next to him, wearing black-rimmed glasses and armbands on his arms, looked like a good old man.
Bai Lan opened her mouth, and there was a rare time when she didn't know what to say, and at this moment, the door of the Ichiban team was opened again.
ββ¦β¦ What are you all doing here? β
