[Death] Acacia inkstone

Dong Shilang didn't expect that he would need to visit the Great Spirit Book Corridor in person.

At least I didn't expect it before hearing Takikawa Aoba's reply.

He thought he would hear a decent answer that could solve the puzzle.Unexpectedly, Takigawa Aoba shook his head at him and told him that he himself didn't remember when he learned the techniques of the spirit world, although he remembered them clearly in his mind.

Takikawa Aoba said that his investigation will continue for about a week, that is to say, Kaoru Sakurai will be released in another week.

Dong Shilang decided to take advantage of this rare gap to check all the doubts himself.

<<

Hundreds of years ago, the spirit world was much more closed than it is now, and according to the law of the spirit world, leaving the spirit world without authorization is punished, even communication with people in the soul world is strictly prohibited, and violators will be punished. Felony.

A large part of the reason for this is that the spirit world's magic techniques are extremely unique and exquisite. In order to prevent these magic techniques from being used by outsiders with ulterior motives, the rulers of the spirit world simply blocked all connections between the spirit world and the outside world.

Standing in front of a row of tall bookshelves, Shiro Dong raised his hand to dust off the dust, and pulled out an ancient book.

He remembered that there was a person in history who defied the laws of the spirit world and came to the corpse soul world. If it is said that the spirit world magic was really used in the recent extermination cases, it is very likely that this person brought him out of.

Because it has been stored for hundreds of years and few people read it, there are many moth-eaten spots on the pages of the ancient book. Dongshiro was very careful when flipping through it.

He quickly found that period of history, but the writing in the book was very brief. It only said that the seventh spirit officer of the spirit world went down to live in the soul world for a period of time without permission before taking office, and died shortly after taking office. lost track.As a result, he became the spirit official with the shortest term in the history of the spirit world, and his name was not even recorded in the book.

Dong Shilang closed the book helplessly.

This information is of no use to him at all.

Sure enough, as Sakurai Kaoru said, there is no valuable information here.

Dong Shilang walked out of the first area and walked along the long and narrow wooden corridor.

Sakurai Kaoru said she used to frequent here for ten years.At first he thought she was just joking, until later when he saw her looking for books in the corridor for him with ease, he realized that what she said was true.

And that was not too long ago.

He felt that Kaoru Sakurai didn't understand her own heart enough, and why didn't he, never really see through her.

"Captain?" A very soft female voice came.Dong Shilang followed the sound and saw that Huayuan Izumo had appeared a few meters away from him at some point.

Huayuan's spiritual pressure is relatively high in the vice team. He remembered that she graduated with the honor of No.1 in her class.To be honest, he felt that it was a pity that a Shinigami with excellent combat skills like her stayed in the [-]th squad to do criminal investigation.If she had gone to the [-]th team back then, she might have accomplished a lot by now.

It's not like he didn't ask Hua Yuan if he would like to transfer to another team, and he even promised to write her a letter of recommendation himself.But her answer is always a gentle refusal after a smile.

Kaoru Sakurai always teased him with this, saying that Izumo Kahara followed him as the deputy team so hard because of his deep affection for him.

He never bothered to think about what Hua Yuan thought, and he only regarded her as a capable subordinate all the time.But at this moment, Dong Shilang saw Hua Yuan staring at him, and finally realized that Hua Yuan seemed a little too obsessed with him.

"You came back from this world?" Sakurai Kaoru said to him so many times in a circumstantial way, no matter how slow Dongshiro was emotionally, he already understood Huayuan's different feelings for him.But she wasn't his type at all.

He knows very well in his heart that he will always only have the friendship between the captain and his subordinates to her, and there is absolutely no possibility of surpassing her.

"Yeah." Huayuan Izumo nodded, with a smile on his face.Different from Sakurai Kaoru's laid-back style, Huayuan's smile made her already beautiful face more gentle and pleasant.

"But I have to rush back to this world to do night patrol tonight."

Dong Shilang didn't say anything, just walked past her.He still has things to do, and now is not a good time for small talk.What's more, he didn't have anything to say to her.

"Captain." Hua Yuan suddenly stopped him.

Shiro Dong stopped, he had passed her by five or six steps, so he could only turn around:

"Do you have anything else to do?"

She also turned around, looking at his eyes with tenderness, she was silent for a few seconds, then bit her lips tightly, as if she had made up her mind, she mustered up her courage and said to him:

"Captain, have you heard of the Soul Resurrection Technique?"

Although Dong Shilang didn't understand why she asked such a question so suddenly, he still thought about it carefully.He once heard old man Shan mentioned this technique inadvertently: "I heard that it is a long-lost forbidden technique."

"I heard people say that a long time ago, a person used this technique to find all the soul fragments of the dead, and then repaired them one by one."

Dong Shilang remembered that when Old Man Shan mentioned this technique, he said that no one in history had ever used it.And what Hua Yuan said just now, he has never heard of it:

"After a person dies, the soul will be broken into thousands of pieces, and will soon be scattered in the atmosphere." He shook his head to deny her statement: "It is too difficult to collect them. Even if one person succeeds Well, it's going to take a lot of his time."

"And this is a forbidden technique. There will be some backlash after the technique is completed. For example, the caster may lose spiritual power or lose memory."

The soul resurgence technique should be one of the few spiritual world spells spread to the corpse and soul world, but because of its high difficulty, long time-consuming, and large backlash, no one cares about it.

Hua Yuan nodded thoughtfully: "Captain, if someone who is very important to you dies, will you try to revive her with forbidden techniques?"

"Resurrecting souls can't really bring people back to life." Dong Shilang felt that something was wrong with Huayuan, and she never asked these strange questions in his memory. The technique is to protect the broken soul and prevent it from turning into a spirit, that is to say, it actually freezes the life at the moment before death."

"Resurrection can be regarded as a long-term dormancy, but it can no longer save the dead."

"There is no magic technique that can really teach people to bring the dead back to life."

In the afternoon, the sun shines into the living room through the glass door of the balcony, making the already simple living room look even more empty.Dong Shilang sat on the sofa with his back facing the balcony, and the sunlight illuminated the documents in his hand very brightly.

Karakura always has such nice weather.No wonder Kaoru Sakurai likes staying here so much.

He remembered her telling him solemnly that life without tea was no life at all.

However, what is interesting is that since she joined the criminal investigation profession, her busy work has made it difficult for her to guarantee three meals a day, not to mention afternoon tea.

But she still looked like she was enjoying it.

After neatly folding the materials and placing them on the coffee table, he picked up the water glass and took a sip.

Ice-cold liquid in the mouth, tasteless.

Only then did Toshiro realize that during the few days when Kaoru Sakurai was away, he was so busy that he didn't even have time to make a cup of tea.And although she has a lot of work, she can always find time to make him a pot of tea and bring him some snacks when she is in the apartment.

He had thought that he had gotten used to living without her in the ten years since she had been gone.It's just that he didn't expect to get used to it so quickly. In just two years, he got used to her being around again.

"Okay, I see." Dongshiro hurried on the way back to the apartment.Akiyama Suzumi of the criminal investigation team just called to tell him that Team Leader Takikawa had captured the suspect in the case, and forensic doctor Sakurai should be released soon.

He walked all the way and saved the strange number that just called into the address book. He will know these members of the criminal investigation team sooner or later.

Today happened to be the sixth day of Sakurai's detention, and Takikawa Aoba really got the timing right.

As the sky was getting darker, Shiro Dong thought, he still had to go to the bureau tomorrow, firstly to bring Sakurai Kaoru back, and secondly, to see who the suspect who had just been arrested was.

"Hey, when did the patrol unit in Karakura Town change?"

Dong Shilang just came back from the world of corpses and souls. In order to make it easier for him to disguise himself and replace him with a skeleton as soon as he arrives in this world, he set up the world-transmitting gate on a remote path where few people walk.

At this time, the sun had already set, and the path looked extraordinarily quiet in the dark night, which made the human voice just now very clear and loud.

"You look pretty good." Dong Shilang walked towards the sound, and saw a few people dressed as gangsters grabbing a slim young woman.The leading man pressed her firmly against the wall with one hand, and clasped her chin with the other, with frivolous eyes.

Toshiro recognized Kahara Izumo at a glance.

Although he knew that Hua Yuan was very capable, but she was a woman after all, and she was outnumbered.He decided to shoot without hesitation:

"stop."

"Where did you get in the way?" The gangster glanced at the silver-haired boy who suddenly appeared on the street corner with a look of disdain, and ignored him at all.

Dong Shilang folded his hands in front of his chest, leaning one shoulder against the wall, looking at these tall and thick men with indifferent eyes: "It was you who started the trouble first."

The man let go of Huayuan Izumo's hand, and looked at him arrogantly: "We started the trouble first, so what? I'm in a good mood today. I wanted to persuade you to be sensible and get out."

"However, I changed my mind again." He rolled up his sleeves: "Because you are too tidy."
