Chapter 67: "Love"

[If I shed blood for you, will you hug me in blood like hugging the blooming bellflower flower?] 】

PS: Six thousand words, I didn't sleep, and I kept the yard until 6:04......

Time passed, and soon, the internship period of the three was over, and on this day, Rukia made an appointment to meet the three at home.

"Well, you're all going to the fifth team...... Rukia said with some sighs as she looked at the three people in front of her.

"Ah...... After all, Captain Aizen personally mentioned to us that there is an opportunity to join the team directly without being exempted from the team entrance assessment, of course we have to seize it, after all, we are not genius Grim Reaper......" Asai Renji scratched his head and said a little stuckly, although he also wanted to enter the thirteenth team like Rukia, but the temptation to join the team directly was too great.

At this moment, the door was opened, and Shin walked in with a tea tray, poured a cup of tea for each of the three, and then placed the teapot in Rukia's hand, and sat down on the tatami mat beside her.

"Please."

"Ah...... Thank you. The three of them hurriedly thanked each other, took a small sip of the teacup, and Hinamori Momo sneaked a glance at the real from time to time, and then quickly looked away.

"You're welcome, you and Rukia are at the same time, but you have to get along well," Zhen smiled gently, "If you encounter any confusion in your daily life, you can also consider asking me, although I dare not say that it can be solved all, but it should be able to help somewhat." ”

"That, that, real senior, my words, I really want to learn what you used before, the combination between the ghost paths, after all, my slashing knife is the ghost path system, so, I feel that using the ghost path to cooperate with the battle is more suitable for me......" As soon as the true voice fell, Hinamori Tao couldn't wait to raise her little hand and said with some embarrassment.

"You remember, that's just a trick that can't be used on the stage, but if you want to learn, I can teach you, but ......" Shin nodded slightly, but there was a hint of regret in his tone, "You need to lay the foundation first." ”

"I think, you should only be able to break the first forty ghost paths of chanting now, this is not enough, you still have to practice again."

"Ah, yes!"

"Don't be too nervous, if I interrupt your communication here......"

"No, how could it be!"

"Haha, just kidding, but I do have some team work to take care of," she said, smiling and standing up, rubbing Rukia's head, "Rukia, treat your friends well." ”

"I will, brother." Rukia nodded obediently, and Shin left the room.

"Mako-senpai, what a gentle person......" After Shin walked away, Hinamori Momo breathed a sigh of relief, and said with some admiration in his tone, "There is also Captain Aizen, they are all gentle, and they are also powerful...... I really want to be like them. ”

"Captain Aizen is good, but it's still not comparable to my brother." Rukia said casually, and it could be seen that it had become her instinct to defend her brother.

"Yes, yes, my brother is the best~"

"It's my brother!"

……

In this way, in a harmonious environment, another four years passed.

During this period, some interesting things happened, such as Asai Koiji because he had a brawl with the team members soon after joining the team, so in the second year of his joining the team, he was transferred to the 11th team by Aizen, and worshiped Madara as a teacher to learn combat skills. In the third year, Hinosaki performed well in the Kuban team, climbed to the fourth position of the Kuban team, and won the appreciation of the captain of the Kuban team, Dongsen, according to him, Tosento also specially let him feel his own understanding, which shocked him, and under the guidance of Tosen, his progress was very rapid.

In the past four years, Rukia has made significant progress under the guidance of Shiba Haiyan, not only learning the first solution, but also being able to skillfully use the two moves of "first dance" and "second dance", and has also been able to cause some trouble to Shiba Haiyan in the state of first solution.

And now, four years laterβ€”

It was a windy autumn night, and the stars were buried deep in the night sky, sporadically glowing.

But at this time, the team building of the 13th team is not as quiet and beautiful as this scenery, and at this moment, almost all the members, including the captain Ukitake Shishiro and the vice captain Shiba Haiyan, are busy.

"Damn, another Grim Reaper has lost contact," Shiba Haiyan clutched at her hair irritably, a hint of sadness lingering between her brows, "I haven't mastered that false information until now......"

"Ahem, ahem...... Yes, so the most important thing now is to figure out that false information," Ukitake Shishiro sat on the chair, although his body did not improve, but in such an incident, he still stood up to deal with this matter, "So, I plan to let you take someone to investigate." ”

"Let's go...... Zhibo Haiyan was slightly stunned, but immediately understood, "I know, when will I go?" ”

"Leave at dawn, you can't put it off any longer, this kind of thing should be solved as soon as possible, otherwise...... Ahem......"

"All right, Captain?" Shiba Haiyan looked at Ukitake Shishiro, who was coughing incessantly, with some concern.

"I'm fine, damn it, if my body allows it, I'll be able to take care of it myself......" Ukitake Shiro hammered the arm of his chair hatefully, his face covered with sweat from enduring the pain.

"You can rest in peace, leave it to me and the capital, can't you rest assured?" Zhibo Haiyan was relieved, and got up to wipe his sweat.

"Alas...... It's a good thing you're here," Ukitake Shishiro sighed, his gaze softened slightly, "After I have eliminated that void, I will propose to the above to let you succeed as captain, don't shirk it, you see me like this, being a captain is actually a burden." ”

Shiba Kaiyan opened his mouth, wanting to refuse, but was interrupted by Ukitake Shiro in advance, and finally, he breathed a sigh of relief, with a hint of determination in his eyes.

"Yes."

……

At dawn, Zhibo had already led his four team members to stand at the door of the thirteenth team, and Zhibo Haiyan also stood with Rukia to say goodbye to her.

"I'm afraid this void will be very troublesome, after all, I don't know its information at all now......" Zhibo Haiyan said with one hand on his waist, scratching his head, "So, don't force yourself too much, after all, you are my wife." ”

"Ah, it's really rare to suddenly say such a sensual thing." Zhibo suddenly covered his mouth and chuckled, looking at Zhibo Haiyan's eyes full of tenderness.

"Don't take what I say as a deaf ear......" Seeing her like this, Zhibo Haiyan's face was suddenly covered with black lines.

At this time, her gaze moved to Rukia, and when she saw the worry on her face, her gaze couldn't help but soften a little.

"I can't forgive something as depraved as Void, and likewise, I'm proud to be a member of Team 13, so I can't allow it to continue to run rampant."

"Lord Du......" Hearing this, the worry on Rukia's face became even worse.

"Don't worry, I'm just going on a reconnaissance mission this time, but I'll leave it to you later, okay, I'm leaving." After saying that, Zhibo said goodbye to the two and led several subordinates to leave.

Looking at the figure of Zhibo leaving, Zhibo Haiyan frowned slightly, and always felt that he seemed to have forgotten something important, as if he had really said something to himself, but he couldn't remember it for a while, which made him very troubled.

The two returned to the captain's room, Shiba Haiyan and Ukitake Shishiro sat together, quietly waiting for news from Shibato, and Rukia consciously went to make a pot of tea for the two.

"Captain......" Suddenly, Rukia stopped and called out, attracting the attention of the two.

"What's wrong, Rukia?" Ukitake Shishiro asked with a solemn face, now his heart is very heavy, since the appearance of that head void, the team has lost more than a dozen players, which makes him blame himself very much.

"No, what do you say......" Rukia held the tea tray and clenched her hands nervously into fists, "That head is dangerous, I wonder what if the adults are in danger......"

Zhibo Haiyan was slightly stunned.

"It's the third seat in the team, and the strength is not much worse than me......"

Suddenly, his eyes widened.

[When encountering more difficult events, don't let Sister Du face it alone, you'd better follow her to protect her. 】

yes, I remembered......

At that time, I really said this to myself......

Shiba Haiyan stood up suddenly, a faint sense of uneasiness in his heart, coupled with the fact that he remembered what Shin had said, at this moment, there was only one thought left in his heart.

"Captain, I'm going to help you investigate!"

Ukitake Shishiro looked at him with some astonishment.

"But, Haiyan, your mission is ......"

"Please, Captain," before Ukitake Shishiro could finish speaking, Shiba Haiyan bowed deeply to him and said again, "Please......"

Seeing him like this, Ukitake Shishiro fell silent.

"Okay, though, I'll go with you," Ukitake Jusharo quickly made a decision after a moment's thought, "Rukia, you follow along." ”

"Yes, Captain!" Shiba Haiyan replied in surprise.

He understood that what Captain Ukitake meant was that since this was the case, he would simply go and kill him.

"Yes!" Rukia didn't know why, and breathed a sigh of relief.

In her eyes, Zhibo has always been a smart, gentle, and powerful heroine, which is what she longed for, and this time Zhibo went on a mission, and Rukia felt a strong uneasiness in her heart for the first time.

So, after Ukitake Shiro entrusted the task of managing the thirteenth team to Kotsubaki Sentaro and Tora Toru Kiyone, who were standing outside the door, the three of them rushed to the place where they had explored the void before.

Since it has reached the suburbs and belongs to no man's land, the whereabouts of the void have always been elusive.

……

And at this moment, Zhibo is facing an unprecedented crisis.

"Hey, hey, what's wrong, you're wielding a knife," in front of Zhibodu, the five team members who were originally led by Zhi Bodu, have now fallen four, life and death are unknown, and now it is the last person standing in front of her, but at this moment, this team member is approaching her step by step with a hideous face, exuding a chaotic void aura on his body, "Because it is a member of the team, can't you bear to start?" ”

"This can't be done, if you don't wield the knife, this person will really die!"

"What to do, you can't save it with a knife, you can't save it without a knife, what should I do? What to do? Hahahaha......"

Zhibo gasped slightly, her feet stepped back step by step, although the void in front of her kept trying to provoke her, she still kept calm, and the slashing knife in her hand had been liberated at some point.

"It's really boring, since that's the case......" I saw this head squint his eyes, and the back of the Grim Reaper attached to it suddenly burst, and a large number of tentacles rushed towards Shibodu, "Then let me eat you!" ”

Zhibo parried left and right, and all the tentacles that came to the attack were all cut off, but helplessly, the number of tentacles was too much, and Zhibo finally couldn't fully defend himself, and was violently knocked out by a tentacle, and a trace of blood oozed from the corner of her mouth, but the corner of her mouth showed a smile.

"Do you remember how many stabs I slashed?"

After a long time, he reacted and looked at her with some consternation.

[Reaction, slowed down......]

[Damn, is it the power of the slashing sword!? 】

"Farewell." Zhibo took an instantaneous step, brushed shoulders with Xu, and a blood flower soared, and Xuxu slowly fell to the ground, falling into pieces.

Zhibo was relieved of the first solution and stood with her knife in tow, she quietly looked at the bodies of the five team members who had died, and fell silent.

And at this moment, when she was defenseless, a few filaments lying quietly on the ground moved lightly, and suddenly rushed towards Shibodu.

"What......" Zhibo's eyes widened suddenly, but he didn't have time to draw his knife, so he had to block his arm in front of him.

The filament instantly sank into Shibodu's arm, and in the next second, half of her face became distorted.

"It's really a strong force, but you're still careless, and next, let me eat you...... Belch? ”

Suddenly, a blue light lit up on Zhibodu's body, and under the light of this blue light, he only had time to scream, and a few filaments were forcibly squeezed out of Zhibodu's body and fell to the ground.

"This is ......" Zhibo looked at the strangeness on her body in astonishment, and suddenly, she thought of something, and reached out and took out a blue amulet from her arms, it turned out that it was this amulet that saved her at a critical moment.

"Both!" At this time, Ukitake Shijuro, Shiba Haiyan, and Rukia also discovered Shiba and were rushing towards her with all their might.

Just now, the three of them also saw the strangeness of Shibadu's side, but fortunately there was nothing wrong, so they breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that the curtain has come to an end.

And yet, at this momentβ€”

"Roarβ€”" A high-pitched roar startled everyone, and a huge figure fell from the sky and smashed between Shibado and the three people who rushed over, stirring up a circle of dust.

"Get out of the way!" Before he could be shocked, the situation that made his eyes tear appeared before his eyes, and he lost the ability to think for a moment.

The filament that was forced back by the blue light was actually covered by the dust at this moment, and rushed towards Shibodu again.

And now Zhibodu's body has lost the blue light of the amulet.

"Both!"

In an instant, filaments poured into Shibodu's body, perhaps because the power of the void had just been greatly weakened, this time her consciousness was not easily covered, and at this moment, Shiba struggled painfully, fighting hard with her will.

A huge palm slapped towards Shiba Haiyan, but it was cut off by Ukitake Shijuro's sword, and he himself seemed to have relapsed because of his violent movements, and coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood in pain.

But even so, he was still more concerned about the situation on the other side.

"Petrel!"

Shiba Haiyan was completely sobered up by Ukitake Shishiro's shout, and he hurriedly rushed over and helped Shiba To's shoulder.

"All, all! Hold on......" Shiba Haiyan shouted anxiously, and although she wanted to help, she couldn't do anything for a while, and could only watch her wife in pain.

"Lord Du, hold on, you will definitely be able to defeat it!" At this time, Rukia, who was already half a step behind, also ran over and shouted nervously.

Perhaps hearing the words of the two, Zhibodu's consciousness regained a little, and she looked at the two of them, her eyes revealing infinite sadness.

"My power is being devoured...... I'm already ......," Zhibo said tremblingly, green spots on her beautiful face were spreading at a speed visible to the naked eye, and she struggled with the last of her strength, and said to the two of them, "Take advantage of it now...... I'm still conscious......"

"Kill me......"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Shiba Haiyan shouted helplessly, and at this time, he suddenly thought that he still had something on him!

"Amulet! The amulet of the true giving...... It must be useful, it must be useful! He hurriedly took out the amulet he had been wearing from his bosom and stuffed it into Shibodu's hand.

However, the blue light did not appear.

"How can this be ......"

Zhibo Haiyan clenched her hands into fists, and her eyes were already bloodshot.

Suddenly, Zhibo stopped struggling in pain, opened his eyes blankly, and looked fixedly at Shiba Haiyan in front of him.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ All? ”

"Lord?"

Seeing Zhibodu like this, the hearts of the two suddenly swelled with a touch of surprise that could not be concealed.

"You're recovering?"

Zhibo struggled to sit up from the ground, did not answer the questions of the two, just lowered his head slightly, stretched out his hand, and rubbed his temples.

At this time, Ukitake Shishiro had also dismantled the sudden arrival of the void and came to the three of them.

"How's it going, are you alright?" Seeing that she looked a little uncomfortable, Ukitake Shishiro hurriedly asked with concern, but forgot to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"Both?" Hearing Ukitake Shishiro's words, Shiba finally reacted, only to hear her repeat her name in a strange tone, which made the three of them jump.

"What you say is ...... Is it me? ”

Zhibodu looked up suddenly, only to see that what appeared in front of the three of them was no longer Zhibodu's beautiful face, but a strange face of miserable green.

"Bastard......!" Shiba Haiyan's eyes instantly spread and faded, and at this moment, his anger had reached its peak.

"Shibodu, hahaha, I have to say, this woman is the most delicious Grim Reaper I've ever eaten," the void that occupied Shibodu's body, named Metastasia, was laughing rampantly at the moment, "What's the matter, do you want to pull out a knife and cut me?" ”

"If you don't do it......"

"I'll do it!"

Shiba Kaiyan drew his sword and held out his right hand towards Ukitake Shishiro and Rukia.

"Captain, Rukia...... You guys, don't make a move," Zhibo Haiyan said coldly, at this moment, there were no distracting thoughts in his heart, only full of killing intent, "I want to ...... Slaughter it! ”

"Die!" Metastasia manipulated Shibodu's body, wielding a slashing knife and slashing at Shiba Petrel, who slashed at the blades, slamming their blades together and bursting out with sparks.

After a few rounds of fighting, Shibodu's body gradually collapsed, and it seemed that he had been almost eaten by Metastasia.

Seeing his wife being devoured little by little in front of him, Shiba Haiyan gritted his teeth desperately, ignoring the blood oozing from too much force in his mouth.

"It's so delicious, so I can't help but eat it a little slower, could it be that the female Grim Reaper will be a little more delicious?" Metastasia smiled wryly, her eyes greedily scanning the three people in front of her, as if she was picking her prey, "You'll be next, little girl!" ”

When Rukia, who was standing on the side, heard this, she immediately grasped the hilt of the knife, and the killing intent rose in her heart, and even suppressed the fear of death.

"Don't think!" Shiba Haiyan swung his knife to force it back, and in the next second, a large bag bulged out of the body of Shibo Du controlled by Metastasia, and after it broke, a large number of tentacles poured out of it, pumping towards Shiba Haiyan, and it itself swung its knife towards Rukia.

"Rukia! Cough cough cough cough ......" On the side, Ukitake Shishiro just wanted to make a move, but instantly fell to his knees in pain, coughing up a large mouthful of blood in his mouth.

Looking at the blade that was constantly enlarging in her eyes, and the face that was getting closer and closer, Shiba was no longer beautiful, Rukia trembled and raised the slashing knife.

However, such a speed is destined to be unable to stop Metastasia's knife.

And at this moment, Shiba Petrel stood in front of Rukia, Metastasia was already close at hand, and the remnants of Shiba controlled by it swung its blade towards Shiba Petrel, but at the moment when it was about to hit, it was frozen in the air.

It seemed that some force was stopping him, swinging his knife at the man in front of him.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ What's going on? Metastasia didn't expect this to happen at all, and immediately fell into a great panic.

No matter how much he struggled, he couldn't make Shibato's blade advance another millimeter for a while.

"How is it possible, she has already been eaten by me......"

"Poofβ€”"

At this time, Rukia looked at Metastasia, who was close at hand, and subconsciously stabbed the blade into its chest, and by the time Rukia came back to her senses, the remnants of Zhibodu had already fallen on top of her.

Purified by the slashing knife, Metastasia screamed and dissipated into the air, and Shiba had a knife in his chest, and fell into Rukia's arms, but facing in the direction of Shiba Petrel. Her gaze fell softly on Shiba Haiyan's face, and Shiba Haiyan also looked at her eyes steadily.

Although the two of them are dead and alive, at this moment, they look at each other from life and death.
