The reason why the [-]th District is in chaos is inseparable from the fact that it is too far away from the Jingling Court.

As the saying goes, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. Those who pursue order desperately want to go to the area with small numbers, while those who do not want to obey Jinglingting come back.The [-]th district has its own system, and Jinglingting doesn't bother to take care of it. Under the centralized system, there must always be an outlet, which is similar to the existence of underground fighting arenas.

The [-]th district is very large, accounting for one-tenth of the area of ​​the soul world. There are violent people, and there are also people who want to live in peace. The two do not interfere with the river. Anyway, the [-]th district is big enough and barren enough. There is no direct conflict.

The reason why people in other districts describe the eighty districts so scary is because they only walk on the edge of the eighty districts—although there is no direct conflict, those who want to live in peace always have to give in. The edge area with a better natural environment to the violent elements.

Aoki and Ichimaru temporarily stayed in this village, and in the house where Aoki opened the first door, they found a book with detailed records.Most of the items came from another village, but the pair didn't know the way to get there.

Ichimaru silver said that there should be a map of the eighty districts in this village, after all, they are not primitive people who drink blood.

"Although the sparrow is small and complete, since it is a village, there must be someone like a village chief." And the map is probably there.

Aoki stood on the largest road in the village, looking around, all the houses under the snow cover were of the same shape, unable to tell the difference between rich and poor.

Although the village is small, it is not a small amount of work for two people to find a map in it.

Fortunately, they have a lot of time.

During this time, snow fell again.Aoki opened the window, letting the faint light of the sky penetrate into the dark attic, and then lit the half of the candle on the window sill with the ghost way of abandoning the chant with a wipe of his fingers.She turned around holding the candlestick, lighting up the place where Ichimaru Gin was.The attic between the two sloping roofs is very small, and there are still a lot of boxes piled up inside. There are two people standing, the space is getting tighter, and it is almost impossible to turn around.

The boy was bending over, opening the lid of the top wooden box.The dust that has accumulated over the years suddenly rises under the light of the candlelight, and then there is a stale smell.

That's all Aoki can see, the boy's back is in front of her, she can't see the contents of the box.

"Little Aoki, give me the candle." The candlelight was blocked by his own shadow, and Ichimaru stretched out his hand behind him.

Aoki handed the candlestick over, turned sideways to hide behind the window, so as not to block the light outside.

Snowflakes were floating densely outside the window, and a few flakes flew in, leaving dark marks on the dusty windowsill.Aoki looked far away, and behind the village was a vast and distant mountain, and under the white snow cover, he could vaguely see a dark green that was so thick that it was almost black.The past few days have been very peaceful, there is no sound of people or dogs barking and jackals around.

Thousands of birds and all-rounders.

Such a lonely mood is incompatible with the fights of the previous days, and it is so peaceful that it makes people feel unreal.

There were no living things in the village, but there was a vegetable shed left, which was crushed by the heavy snow and opened by wild boars. Some of the hardy vegetables were lost and some were damaged by freezing, but there were still some edible.There was plenty of pickles in the kitchen cellar, and a single wild boar would feed the two of them for quite a while.

Everything is ready-made, nothing to worry about.Compared with the fugitive life she imagined, such a day is undoubtedly a paradise.But Aoki is not satisfied with such a day, in her opinion, the silence here is not a cage.She is not a saint who has passed away, and is more willing to devote herself to the bustling world.

After rummaging through the first box, Ichimaru handed the candlestick back to Aoki, and when he turned his head, he saw the girl as a silhouette outlined by the faint light.The boy paused slightly, and Aoki had already received the candlestick.

"Have you found it?" Aoki asked habitually, with both hands empty.

"No." Ichimaru bent down and closed the box, trying to stack it elsewhere but couldn't find it.

Aoki held the candlestick and sat on the window frame, shaking his feet: "Put it here."

Ichimaru glanced at her, and that gaze made Aoki feel a little inexplicable: "Oh, what a good idea."

The boy turned around and rummaged through the second box, but he didn't ask Aoki for candles again.

The girl carefully stepped on the box under her feet, made sure it could bear her own weight, stood up straight, and raised the candle above her head so that Ichimaru Gin would not block the light again.

When it was completely dark, the candles had just finished burning.Although they could still barely see it, neither of them bothered to turn it over.Back at the temporary house, Aoki went into the kitchen to prepare dinner, and Ichimaru sat in the living room, hunched over like a boneless one.

There is nothing to prepare, just heat it up at noon.

During the waiting time, Aoki served a plate of peanuts, scalded two jugs of wine with ghost way, and drank with Shimaru.

The two drank very quietly, clinking glasses from time to time, the sound of falling snow filled the rest of the time, and occasionally a piece of snow fell from the roof with a "plop" sound.

So when the regular sound of stepping on the snow sounded, the two of them could hear it very clearly.

Aoki put down the cup in his hand, picked up the knife in the corner and sneaked to the door.Ichimaru Gin glanced at her and continued drinking.

The footsteps approached and finally stopped at the door.The characteristic heavy breathing after a long journey is clearly audible.Aoki's location is suitable for a sneak attack, but it is a blind spot both internally and externally.So she turned to cast a questioning look at Ichimaru.

The movement of Ichimaru Gin holding peanuts stopped in mid-air, the smile on his face fell, his mouth was slightly open, his expression was similar to the surprise of seeing an acquaintance, but it was more than just surprise, some joy and some fear, more unwilling believe--

Moment's expression was too complicated, and Aoki's attention was drawn away.

The people outside the door rushed in at this moment.

The figure that was as fast as a bolt of lightning did not rush towards Gin Ichimaru who could be seen at a glance outside the door, but instead rushed towards Aoki who had a weak presence in the corner.

Aoki was distracted, he was caught off guard, his reaction was half a beat slow, and he was thrown down.The guy rushing over was so powerful that the knife he was holding flew out of his hand.

The man fought without any rules, opened his mouth and bit Aoki after throwing himself down.In the chaos, Aoki saw that the person who came had slightly curly orange hair, and a false mask on his face!

She has never seen such a void!Possessing a human form will also affect Reiatsu!

Horrified, Aoki didn't consider the distance between himself and Xu at all, and directly blasted out with a red cannon.The action of the conditional launch was extremely fast, Gin Ichimaru had no time to stop it, Aoki's Reiatsu was high, even though he gave up the chant, the power of the red cannon still blasted Xu out.

The fiery red light streaked across the air, and the hit figure pierced through layers of wooden walls and flew straight to the snow outside the village!

Ichimaru Gin flew to follow, and at the same time, Xu's Reiatsu burst out, and the boy's body froze suddenly.

Xu thumped twice on the snow and slowly stood up.

Aoki also retrieved the knife and stood next to Ichimaru. There was a pungent smell of burnt low-quality paint in the air, and she was holding a frozen steamed bun in her hand.She saw the boy's always squinting eyes opened, and the scarlet pupils trembled slightly.

"You know it?" Xu standing up was about the same size as them, and there was still a round steamed bun in his arms, and the steamed bun in Aoki's hand just fell from it.

It was quite vulgar and funny, but Aoki couldn't laugh.

A strong killing intent suddenly erupted from the young man, Aoki was shocked, Shimaru Gin grabbed the knife in her hand and rushed straight to Xu a few steps away.

If Riichimaru Gin usually gave people the impression of a cunning fox, then now, he is completely like a poisonous snake-like cold Shura.

Aoki felt Ichimaru Gin's anger.

Gin Ichimaru, who was furious, was extremely terrifying. He stabbed into Xingxu's chest with a knife, pulled it down to the right, to the waist, then swiped to the left, and lifted it up, directly hollowing out the torso.During this period, he completely ignored the sharp claws that had pierced into his shoulder.

Aoki was overwhelmed by Ichimaru's murderous aura, so he didn't think of helping at all.

Xu's body fell to the ground with a bang, his arm broke with a snap, and the part connected to the palm was stuck on Ichimaru's shoulder.The young man pulled out the severed arm from his shoulder indifferently, and said in a low voice——

"I don't like it at all. It's a joke without saying hello."
