Death: This Death is not serious

Aozaki Mazuki left the living world and entered the 11th Division's dormitory in Soul Society.

He made no secret of it, and in front of Gin Ichimaru and other soldiers, he openly declared that he was going to start slacking off.

Then, he summoned Gin Ichimaru to the office alone.

After entering the room, Aozaki Mazuki sat nonchalantly on the chair behind the captain's desk, and said nonchalantly:

"You don't need to come to me for the next period of time, Gin. You will be in charge of the affairs of the team, and I will naturally notify you when I come back."

When Gin Ichimaru heard this, his body shook violently.

Refusing to contact, it was the first time he heard such a request from Aozaki Mazuki.

He straightened his back, and his expression became extremely serious:

"Where are you going? Is it dangerous?"

"Hueco Mundo." Aozaki Mazuki responded lightly.

"......Are you crazy! !?"

Ichimaru Gin couldn't help but screamed.

Before he finished speaking, he felt a piercing cold surge from the soles of his feet, like a surging cold current, climbing up along his spine until it penetrated into his mind.

This chill did not come from the temperature change outside, but from the fear and worry deep in his heart.

The reason was that Ichimaru Gin knew Aozaki Mayu's personality very well -

Once he made up his mind, no matter what or who, it would be difficult to shake his will.

"Why do you want to go to Hueco Mundo? It's too dangerous there, it's the living area of ​​Hollows."

Ichimaru Gin took a step closer, lowered his voice and said to Aozaki Mayu with a nervous look,

"Maybe you will encounter a Hollow, or even a Vastod-level Hollow, ten of which can destroy the Soul Society."

Obviously, his understanding of Hollows is still in the textbooks of the Maou Academy of Spiritual Arts.

After all, from birth to now, the farthest place he has been to is the human world, and it was only for regular duty.

Not to mention Vastod, even the lowest level of Great Hollow Killian has never been seen.

"Well, what you said makes sense, but I have a reason to go."

Aozaki Mayu grinned.

After hearing this, Ichimaru Gin's body suddenly stiffened, and his face showed astonishment, but he quickly regained his composure and said firmly:

"I want to go with you!"

However, Aozaki Mayu shook his head without hesitation and said firmly:

"Absolutely not. With your current strength, it is far from enough to deal with the dangerous situation in the Hueco Mundo, and even I can hardly take care of you."

Then, Aozaki Mayu patted Ichimaru Gin on the shoulder and continued earnestly:

"You just need to stay here and take care of the affairs of the squad for me. In this way, it will be the greatest support and help to me!"

Ichimaru Gin clenched his fists, his lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to refute something, but he finally held back.

Because he knew very well in his heart that what Aozaki Mayu said was true.

Aozaki Shingetsu is a captain-level warrior with second-class spiritual power.

If a crisis that even he cannot solve comes, then even if he, the vice-captain with fifth-class spiritual power, follows along, he will probably be nothing more than a useless burden.

Aozaki Shingetsu felt the inner entanglement and uneasiness of Ichimaru Gin, so he patted his shoulder again and comforted him with a smile: "Don't be too nervous."

Then, he paused for a moment, showing a trace of confidence and pride on his face, and added softly:

"Don't forget, I am the captain's favorite student! Compared to you, I know more about those great hollows."

Finally, Aozaki Shingetsu looked into Ichimaru Gin's eyes and solemnly assured:

"With my current strength, I am more than enough to protect myself. There is no need to worry about my safety."

After that, he turned and left.

Ichimaru Gin stared at Aozaki Shingetsu's back as he walked away, frowning tightly, his heart full of worries.

…………

Three days later.

The earth was shrouded in night,

A bright moon hung in the sky, but it seemed a little hazy, as if covered by a layer of gray fog.

This mysterious and strange place is the residence of the Hollow - the Hollow Circle.

Looking around, it was all gray and white, as if you were in an endless white desert.

The land under your feet was extremely dry and hard, without any vitality.

And those dead trees scattered around, similar to quartz structures, added a bit of desolation and silence to the whole scene.

The strong wind whistled from time to time, bringing up gusts of sand and dust, which made people feel terrified.

Several dazzling light cannons streaked through the night sky like meteors, dragging long red tails, and rushed towards the four figures wearing white masks at a speed as fast as lightning.Go.

Through the spiritual pressure, it can be judged that the four figures running are all powerful Hollows.

The three Hollows following behind are Achucas-class Hollows in the form of horned deer, python, and lion.

The Hollow in the front holds a bone sword in his hand, and his body shape is very similar to that of a human.

Although the whole body is wrapped in hard white bone armor, only the eyes and long golden hair are exposed, but from the huge organs on its chest that look like human hearts, it can be inferred that this is actually a female Vastod-class Hollow.

Accompanied by deafening noises, "Boom boom boom!!"

Pieces of snow-white fine sand exploded around the four female Hollows, rushing straight into the sky like a surging sandstorm.

Then, groups of blazing red flames burst violently in the sky, releasing billowing smoke, like blooming mushroom clouds, dyeing the entire sky a fiery red.

"Harribel!! Don't run!! I must catch you today!!!"

Not far from the four fleeing Hollows, more than a dozen Hollows followed them, one of which was also in human form, roaring angrily, swinging his strong hands like a windmill, throwing huge rocks out crazily.

"Oswell again!! Will this bastard ever stop!? He has been chasing us for three days and three nights!! Why do these bastards have to chase after Lady Harribel, aren't they tired!?"

Beside the humanoid Hollow named Harribel, a slightly irritable voice of a deer-shaped Hollow came.

"I'm sorry, Apache. I've caused you trouble."

Herlibel's face hidden under the mask uttered a cold and apologetic voice.

Hearing this voice, the deer-shaped great hollow Emmylu Apache's face changed instantly.

Her eyes were full of panic, as if she had just said something she shouldn't have said.

"No, no, no... Lord Harlibel, please don't misunderstand me!" Apache explained hurriedly.

"I'm really not blaming you! It's just... it's just that those men of Bylergan are really too much!"
