[The flowers will gradually wither with the passage of time, but the waves will never stop. 】

As Zhibo Haiyan continued to go deeper, a point of light gradually appeared in front of him, and the point of light became bigger and bigger, it turned out that it was the exit of this road, and Zhibo Haiyan immediately riveted his strength and rushed out in one go.

After exiting the gloomy passage, it stands to reason that he should have entered the interior of the Void Night Palace, but what appeared in front of Shiba Haiyan's eyes now was a clear blue sky.

"What's going on, I should be inside the Void Night Palace, why can I see the blue sky inside the closed Void Night Palace?" Zhiba Haiyan looked around, a look of surprise on his face, "Could it be that I accidentally ran out?" ”

I saw that inside the Void Night Palace, there was a blue sky and white clouds, and a breeze blew from time to time, the sun was not dazzling, but there was no trace of the sun in the sky, as if the blue sky itself was shining.

"Are you confused, do you want me to tell you the answer?"

Just as Shiba Haiyan was looking around, a white figure quietly appeared behind him and said in a somewhat bewitching female voice.

“？！” Shiba Haiyan suddenly became vigilant and looked behind him, but the white figure had disappeared, and when he reappeared, he was already standing in front of a gate not far from Shiba Haiyan.

"Who are you?"

"Follow me." The white figure spoke again, but this time it was a majestic male voice, and after he finished speaking, he slowly walked into the dark door.

"Stop!" Zhibo Haiyan's eyes condensed slightly, and he pressed his hand on the hilt of the slashing knife and rushed towards the gate.

Before entering the gate, Shiba Haiyan's pace slowed down as he scanned his surroundings vigilantly, and suddenly, after he had fully walked in, the door closed automatically, and he suddenly became nervous and pulled out the sword at his waist.

"Sneaky, come out for me!" Shiba Haiyan said sharply.

"Whew, I can finally rest assured......" The strange female voice before sounded again, and Zhibo Haiyan suddenly heard the voice, only to see that at some point, the figure with a long white mask on his face was standing on a high platform at the moment, without any extra movements, and looked at himself like this, "I'm sorry, I really can't stand the kind of 'sunshine' outside." ”

"As long as it's here, the sun won't shine in......"

"Don't talk nonsense, who are you," Shiba Haiyan interrupted the man's words, looking at it with a cold gaze, "Is it one of the ten blades?" ”

Hearing this, the white figure seemed to be slightly silent, and it said slowly: "Yes, it's really time to take off the mask and say hello to you......

"My name is Aronillo," Shiba Haiyan watched, she slowly took off her mask, revealing the beautiful face under the mask, "Ninetieth blade, Aronillo Aruruyeli." ”

After seeing her face, Zhibo Haiyan's eyes suddenly widened, and her pupils contracted suddenly, and she almost couldn't even hold the slashing knife in her hand.

“…… All?! ”

……

Rewind time not long ago, and Rihachi Konno arrives in the monitoring room with Broken Bee, intending to let her see how her teammates are doing at this time.

"Oh, Ichimaru-sama, what are you doing here......"

"Has anyone entered the room of the Ten Blades?"

When Noren Hachi walked into the monitoring room with Crushed Bee today, he saw Ichimaru Silver fiddling with something, and immediately leaned up and asked with a curious face.

"Ah, it's Renpachi, it's really rare," Ichimaru Gin looked at Rihachi Konno with a smile, and said without being shy at all, "Why did you suddenly have time to come here to see, I remember that you don't seem to like getting along with me." ”

"There's no such thing, Ichimaru-sama...... Oh, cloister operation? While talking a little perfunctorily, Rihachi Konno leaned in to take a look and immediately laughed a little playfully.

"It's really annoying, I didn't do it, that kind of bad thing," Ichimaru Gin turned his chair and faced Konno Renpachi, "What's more, I hate sad stories the most." ”

"Eh, that's interesting, it's the first time I've heard of it," Hitohachi Konno crossed his hips and leaned down to look at it carefully, "Did this get them to the 'hundred-figure lair'?" ”

"Not exactly, such as these two, I'll send them directly to the Ten Blades," Ichimaru Silver said in a relaxed tone, "After these people defeat the hundreds, they will soon be on the Ten Blades' side." ”

"Is it so sure, although it is the eliminator, but the hundredth number is not so unbearable," Rihachi Konno curiously clicked on the detailed image information of the red dot displayed on the screen, and saw the faces of four people appear on the big screen, "Well, this is the captain of the 11th team, Kenpachi Kanmu, this is the captain of the 13th team, Shiba Haiyan, and this, the captain of the 12th team, Nirvana, are all difficult characters to deal with......"

"Well, but the biggest threat among these people is really Mr. Zhen," Ichimaru said with a smile, "I don't understand the arrangement of Captain Aizen, anyway, let's delay this hundred figures for a while." ”

"And after that?"

"After that, Captain Aizen has arranged a suitable person to continue to drag, don't worry."

Hearing this, Rihachi Konno was slightly stunned.

"Is it just dragging?"

"Oh yes......" After hearing Imano Renpachi's question, Rao Shimaru Silver couldn't help but open his eyes slightly, looked at him and said, "Even if it's a drag, I don't think it can be delayed for long, if it's Captain Aizen himself, it's definitely no problem, but if it's someone else, it's only a drag." ”

"How could it be ......" Hitohachi Konno muttered in a low voice, but at that moment, a new point of light appeared on the screen, attracting the attention of the two.

"Hey, are there five of them?" Ichimaru Yin's brows furrowed slightly, "The Corpse Soul Realm sent five captains in one go?" ”

"That's a ......"

……

At this time, at the five-way intersection, two figures appeared again.

"Ahh......h Looks like there's been a terrible battle here," looking at the corpses of the skeleton soldiers everywhere in front of her, Uno Hanari, who had just arrived here, said to her deputy captain Yuyin Torato, "Yuyin, check if there are any broken faces that are still alive, and if so, start treatment immediately." ”

Hearing this, Hu Che Yongyin's eyes suddenly widened.

"But, Captain......"

"It's okay, Yongyin," Uno Hanari looked at Tiger Toru Yongyin softly, and said softly, "Our mission is to rescue, even if it is a defeated enemy, we, as healers, can't just die without saving." ”

Hu Che Yongyin was slightly stunned, although he was still entangled in his heart, but in the end he still chose to obey Mao Zhihualie's arrangement.

"Yes!"

Soon, the two found Ludeben, who still had a breath left, and immediately began to treat him, fortunately, although Ludburn was seriously injured, his own vitality was very tenacious, so he survived until the arrival of the Uno Flower Lie, and successfully saved his name.

……

There are two flowers, one on each branch, and at this time, on the side of Shiba petrel.

"All ......" Zhibo Haiyan's body trembled slightly, his eyes stared at the woman in front of him, and his voice trembled a little, "Is it really you, Du?" ”

But immediately, Zhibo Haiyan's face changed, and his eyes regained some sense.

"No, she died forty years ago, who the hell are you, and you dare to pretend to be Du?!"

Facing Zhibo Haiyan's angry gaze, on the high platform, the ninetieth blade, which had the same face and figure as Zhibo, was slightly stunned.

"What are you talking about, Lord Haiyan," Shiba Du looked at Shiba Haiyan with soft eyes, his voice full of warmth, "Or do you not know me after only forty years?" ”

"No, even if it's been a long time, I can still recognize the face of the capital, but ...... She's already ......," Shiba Haiyan immediately retorted, but halfway through his words, his voice was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say anything.

I saw that Zhibo had disappeared on the high platform at some point, walked in front of Zhibo Haiyan, and gently hugged him.

"I'm sorry, Lady Haiyan, for worrying you......" Shiba said softly, she quietly lay in Shiba Haiyan's arms, her arms tightly wrapped around Shiba Haiyan's waist.

Shiba Haiyan hung his arms in the air, his eyes kept vibrating, and after a long time, he finally couldn't hold back anymore and put his hands on Shiba Du's back.

It seemed that she felt the movements of Zhibo Haiyan, and Zhibo who was lying in her arms suddenly showed a happy smile.

The two embraced each other quietly like this, without superfluous words.

Until—

"Ah, I almost forgot!"

Suddenly, Zhibo Haiyan's body was shocked, as if he remembered something, he patted Zhibo Du on the shoulder, and Zhibo immediately took a few steps back and blinked.

"What's wrong, Lady Haiyan?"

Looking at the woman in front of him whose temperament, language, and style were no different from his wife Zhibo, Zhibo Haiyan couldn't help but be in a trance again.

"Haiyan-sama?"

Zhibo tilted his head, and there was a hint of puzzlement in his eyes.

"Ah, I'm distracted......" Shiba Haiyan immediately came back to his senses, scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "uh...... All? ”

"I'm here, Lord Haiyan," Zhibo looked at him with a gentle gaze and smiled, "Oh, it seems that it would be more appropriate to call you 'Captain Haiyan' now." ”

"If I'm not mistaken, you're the captain after I was killed."

Hearing this, Zhibo Haiyan's pupils suddenly shrank, and a trace of cold sweat appeared on his forehead, but he still looked directly into Zhibo Du's eyes and replied.

"Ah, that's right, it was after your incident that I took over as the captain of the 13th team."

Zhibo nodded lightly, but there was no trace of loss on his face.

"Yes, Captain Ukitake's body is indeed ......," Zhibo said softly, and then smiled and quipped, "However, you are really handsome in this Captain Haori, Captain Haiyan, there must be many female team members who like you very much!" ”

"How is that possible! I only like to be alone! Zhibo Haiyan hurriedly denied it.

"If you really only like me alone, then why do you go to the 'old place'?" Shibo rolled his eyes and glanced at him.

"Uh, this ......"

"Tell me, after I die, have you ever gone to that old place again?"

"No, no, no ......"

"Really?"

"Really!" Zhibo Haiyan said with a sincere face, and suddenly, his face became serious, "By the way, all, about what happened after you died in the Corpse Soul Realm...... I'd like to hear you say that. ”

When Zhibo heard this, he was slightly stunned, then nodded slightly, turned around and walked to the dark place and brought two futons, and sat opposite Zhibo Haiyan.

"Well, that's a long story...... I'll just talk briefly," Zhibo looked at Zhibo Haiyan with gentle eyes, and said softly, "That night of the void, it was an experiment of Aizen, at that time, after I was completely devoured by it, it seemed to be fused with it, and then after being killed by Rukia with a slashing knife, my spirit body turned into a spirit child, and was teleported back to the Void Circle, reorganized in the Void Circle, and directly survived in my appearance. ”

"For some reason, when I woke up, I found that the void consciousness had dissipated, and it was my will that dominated this body."

"After that, he joined the Void Night Palace where Aizen was located and became one of the ten blades under his command."

Speaking of this, Zhibo paused slightly.

"Of course, my original intention in joining the Ten Blades was to wait for an opportunity to crusade against Aizen."

"I see...... Is this really, should I say lucky or unlucky......" Zhibo Haiyan sighed slightly, and her gaze at Zhibo gradually softened.

[It is indeed all.] 】

[Whether it is appearance, tone, posture, or habits, they are all exactly the same. 】

"It's good luck, after all, after all, I still survived, although in this way," Shiba said with a smile, "Although I was still very uncomfortable at first, but after a long time, I realized that it is not a bad thing to become virtual." ”

"At the very least, my combat power is much stronger now than when I was still a Grim Reaper."

Hearing this, Zhibo Haiyan was slightly stunned, and there was a complex look in his eyes when he looked at Zhibo Du.

"Speaking of which, Lord Haiyan," Zhibo slowly stood up, his eyes calmly staring at him, "We must be a little vague about each other's strength after not seeing each other for so long." ”

"I guess I'll have a little discussion with you, okay?"

Shiba Haiyan slowly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he had regained his composure.

"Ahh

The two of them stood up from the futon at the same time, walked to the left and right, and immediately stood still, facing each other directly, and at the same time drew the slashing knife at his waist.

"It's a miracle that after so much time, we're still able to do exactly that, all." Shiba Haiyan said softly.

Because the two often fight together, the tacit understanding between Zhibo Haiyan and Zhibo has long been perfected, and every move can be completely consistent.

"Forty years have passed, but Haiyan-sama's movements are still exactly the same as they were forty years ago," Zhibo said calmly, looking directly at Zhibo Haiyan, "Does this mean that Haiyan-sama has not made any progress in the past forty years?" ”

"This, you can try it and you'll know," Zhibo Haiyan smiled slightly, and the slashing knife turned in his hand, "Let the water and the sky roll backwards, and make flowers!" ”

At the same time, a burst of floral fragrance wafted by, and I saw Zhibo gently placing the sword in front of him, his lips lightly opened, and he read the beginning of the sword: "Wait a minute, bellflower." ”

With a flash of light, the sword in the hand of Zhibodu, who was wearing a long white dress, suddenly turned into a thin sword with a blue luster, the blue blade, the flower-shaped blade, the purple hilt, and the petal-shaped ornament tied to the hilt, everywhere poured out the beauty of this slashing knife.

"Kikyo, the most beautiful slashing knife in the corpse soul world," looking at the slashing knife in Shibo Du's hand, Shiba Haiyan said with a slight distraction.

Hearing this, Zhibo smiled lightly.

"Lord Haiyan has won the prize, so ...... now" said, her figure suddenly disappeared, and the next second-

"Qiang—"

Between the swords and swords, sparks burst out.

"Let's start the discussion!"
