[Death] Acacia inkstone

Sakurai Kaoru looked at the rows of towering bookshelves in front of her with a headache. She was sent by the captain to look up information about erythema in the corridor of the Great Spirit Book early in the morning with sleepy eyes.This job is so hard, the captain doesn't seem to have any intention of giving her a raise.

Why is she the only one in the criminal investigation team who gets squeezed every time?

However, there were only three people in their criminal investigation team. Excluding Dongshiro, the captain of the [-]th division and the leader of the criminal investigation team, and Izumo Kahara, who was recently transferred, Kaoru Sakurai was the only one left. It deserves to be a coolie.

And the young man named Takigawa Aoba, who was recently transferred by the central government, also looked extremely indifferent and superior. Sakurai Kaoru felt that it was lucky that he was not used by him.

Kaoru Sakurai sighed in resignation, and walked among the bookshelves with ease, and in a short while, a thick stack was already piled up in his hand.

She is actually very familiar with this place.

Kaoru Sakurai found a place to put down the books he had just collected, and then walked towards a very secluded place at the end of the corridor, holding the central document tightly in his left hand:

It was Dong Shilang's special application to the central government for the purpose of handling the case - a certificate that allowed her to enter and exit any area of ​​the Great Spirit Book Corridor.

After decades, she was finally able to step into this restricted area.

<<

In fact, there are two restrictions in the corridor of the Great Spirit Book.The first level is the guards set up at the entrance, and only those who have reached a certain level or hold an entry permit can pass through.The second layer is a special ghost path set up for the restricted area alone. Only those who have reached a certain height of spiritual pressure can enter. captain.

Therefore, people like Kaoru Sakurai who have tried their best to find twelve ways to sneak into the corridor of the Great Spirit Book can only stand in a hurry at the entrance of the restricted area.

Fortunately, this time she finally had an official document.The ghost path imposed on the official document allows her to freely enter and leave the restricted area even if the Reiatsu is far from enough. The time limit is until the serial killing case is closed.

Kaoru Sakurai put up all his energy and went through every book in the restricted area as carefully as possible.

Sakurai Kaoru leaned tiredly against the wall, although she couldn't see the sky without a window, but she was sure it was late at night.

There's still no progress on the erythema.But this was within her expectation, because if the red spot really originated from the forbidden art of the spirit world as Takikawa Aoba said, then she would not have gained any discovery here.It's just that what really tires her is that she can't find any clues about her strange dreams.

She closed her eyes, rubbed her forehead, and the fragments of the dream that tormented her all night last night jumped into her mind again:

The dead silence in the cold and damp prison, the extreme cold, and the uncontrollable despair welling up from the bottom of my heart.

She had no idea where that was.

Having been in the criminal investigation team for decades, Sakurai Kaoru knows very well that the prison in the soul world is not like that.

She started to have this dream a long time ago, and it didn't gradually subside until she entered the Juban team for a while.And just yesterday, this damn dream invaded her life again.

Sakurai Kaoru cursed in her heart, "Damn it, at this juncture, she was so tossed by this dream, and the pitifully little rest time due to investigating the case was basically used up.

"Sakurai."

His thoughts were interrupted, Kaoru Sakurai suddenly opened his eyes, and saw the captain standing in front of him with a straight face as usual.

"Captain, I've collected all the information, and I'll get it to you right away." Kaoru Sakurai tried her best to put away the tired look on her face. She knew very well that it was against the rules to use up working time to check her personal affairs.

Dong Shilang stretched out a hand to stop her, and his eyes fell on her face: "Have you checked all the books in the restricted area?"

Sakurai Kaoru nodded helplessly: "I searched almost everything, but I didn't find any useful clues."

Dongshiro didn't answer her immediately, nor did he take his eyes off her face.

After a long time, he sighed and said, "Sakurai, you should go back and rest first."

She was pale and looked a little haggard.Dong Shilang knew very well that she hadn't had a good rest recently.

The successive major cases, coupled with the lack of manpower in the team, made high-intensity work inevitable, and there was nothing he could do about it.

But to Shiro Dongshiro's surprise, Kaoru Sakurai didn't accept the few hours of vacation he temporarily gave her, she just squeezed a wry smile at him: "I'd better go to work, captain, actually sleep sometimes It's also tough."

Dong Shilang didn't understand what she meant, the frequent tragedies left him no extra thought to ponder these, he nodded hastily: "Go and get the information."

<<

"Captain, I think Takigawa's conclusion is probably correct." Kaoru Sakurai was lying on the bench in the captain's room flipping through an ancient book that was about to fall apart.

Dong Shilang closed the last book on the table, his brows were more tightly furrowed than usual: "Are you sure all the information is here?"

Kaoru Sakurai yawned and threw the book in his hand aside: "I have searched through the books in the Dalingshu Corridor decades ago. Give me a title and I can tell you which floor it is on almost immediately." What area, what number, what row, what row, what number of bookshelves, and what number from the left."

She stood up and straightened the long hair that was scattered behind her, and then added: "But if you want to know what is the number from the right, it's okay."

Dong Shilang is not in the mood to listen to her jokes at the moment: "You will be punished if you enter the corridor of the Great Spirit Book without permission."

Sakurai Kaoru seemed to be in a pretty good mood: "But the only person who knows about this matter is you, the captain." She smiled playfully: "Captain, don't you have the heart to send me, your most powerful assistant, into the hospital?" Prison?"

Hearing her boasting so much, Dong Shilang couldn't help laughing: "As I said, Huayuan has done a much better job than you."

Kaoru Sakurai raised his eyebrows in dissatisfaction: "Captain, it turns out that you are also sad about the beauty pass. With beautiful female subordinates, we have forgotten the incomparably deep revolutionary friendship between us..."

Dong Shilang stroked his forehead, he felt that it would be better for him not to talk to her for the time being.

<<

Kaoru Sakurai was lying leisurely in a large tub filled with hot water. She worked so many shifts, it was already a great luxury to take a comfortable bath.Although there is a big difference between bathing behind the screen in the living room and soaking in the hot spring beside the cherry blossom tree, Kaoru Sakurai is already very content with it.

What is said about going to the golden bed after the milk bath? Those are the people in this world who are tired of work and have nothing to do.

Sakurai Kaoru closed her eyes and focused her attention. She couldn't help but think of the days she had spent in this world. The comfortable modern house, rich entertainment methods and convenient bathing conditions. This kind of life really made her miss it very much.

When Kaoru Sakurai was still in endless nostalgia for life in this world, the door of the room was pushed open with a bang.

"Sakurai, there is an urgent mission."

The cold wind rushed in, making Kaoru Sakurai shiver: "Captain, you are murdering your subordinates!"

She turned her head angrily and shouted towards the door, but before she finished speaking, she saw the door slammed shut again.

"Captain, if I catch a cold tomorrow, you will have to pay for my medical bills, and if I have a fever, I will have to take paid leave!" Kaoru Sakurai thought of the scene where the captain was blushing in embarrassment and closing the door in a panic, secretly feeling a little funny.

She hurriedly got up and wiped off the water droplets on her body, put on her clothes quickly, and opened the door with her wet hair on her head.

Dong Shilang leaned against the door, leaving only a profile for her.The expression on his face was still as cold and serious as usual, but his face was slightly red.

Kaoru Sakurai suppressed his smile and asked him, "What mission?"

The moonlight was faint, projecting on his face, and the interlacing of light and shadow made his profile more distinct. His deep voice sounded, without any ups and downs, without any emotion: "The fourth murder case happened. The place is in the present world. .”

Kaoru Sakurai's eyes widened in surprise: "So we're going to the world this time?"

Shiro Dong nodded his head in affirmation.

"I was still missing the high-quality life in this world just now, and now the opportunity has come, and I really want to get what I want recently." Kaoru Sakurai muttered a few words, the volume was not loud, Dongshiro did not hear.

"That's not right, Captain, hasn't Huayuan been alive all this time?" Sakurai Kaoru suddenly remembered that Toshiro had said a few days ago that the central government had ordered Huayuan to be transferred back. changed.

"The fourth murder case actually happened in the area under the jurisdiction of Huayuan. The central government sent us to this world to assist Huayuan in handling the case."

"Then how are our identities arranged?" Sakurai Kaoru recalled that when he was stationed in the real world a few years ago, it was a lot of trouble to enter the criminal investigation team in Karakura Town.

"That's why the central government wants you to go." Dongshiro looked down at her: "One of the reasons is that you participated in the investigation of three murder cases in the world of souls, and the second reason is that your present identity is easier to arrange. "

"Hanahara has been in this world for so long, isn't she working at the police station?" Sakurai Kaoru recalled Huayuan's beautiful and exquisite face: "And she should have won the police flower crown of Karakura Town Police Station as soon as she went there. "

Dongshiro automatically ignored her last sentence: "The law and order in Karakura Town has always been good. Huayuan is a member of the patrol team. Her mission is to eliminate all the ghosts in the area who have fled to the present world."

"I thought she went to the criminal investigation team, so she didn't continue her old career in the world of souls." Kaoru Sakurai raised his hand to wipe off the dripping water from her wet hair, and sneezed again by the way .

"You are the only one who has stayed in the current criminal investigation team in the entire Jingling Court." Dong Shilang frowned: "It's windy outside, so go back and clean up first. We'll leave in half an hour."

In fact, Kaoru Sakurai didn't have anything to clean up. The clothes in this world are completely different from those in the soul world, so she basically doesn't need to bring them.So she just dried her hair, wrapped a few more warm clothes and reopened the door.

Dong Shilang still leaned against the door silently, making it impossible to guess his emotions.

"Captain." Sakurai Kaoru signaled to him that he was ready: "I resigned from the criminal investigation team when I left this world last time——"

"—Karakura Town Police Station is recruiting people recently." He stepped ahead of her, seeming a little hasty: "Their criminal investigation team lacks a forensic doctor."

The author has something to say:

I know that there are people like Ichigo who have captain Reiatsu in Shinigami but are not the captain, but for the convenience of narration, here we use Reiatsu as a criterion to distinguish the captain from ordinary Shinigami.

The setting is a little different from the original~
