"grim Reaper?"

Xu made a low and hoarse voice, as if a handful of white sand had been rubbed into his throat.

Ichimaru Gin faced it with a dangerous smile, and the Reiatsu went up a level again: "Yes." The young man shot out like lightning, and the sharp gun shot out vigorously, and the movements in his hands were so fast that they were blurred.

Aoki leaned against the tree trunk, trying to calm down his panting. A little healing technique learned from Mao was used on himself, and the effect was slow.His vision was always blurred, not to mention the movements of Ichimaru's hands, Aoki couldn't even see how he moved.In the previous battle, Ichimaru Gin had reservations, was it to train her?

Did he say "die" in order to motivate her in a different direction?If so, why speak so lightly?

Aoki twitched the corner of her mouth and smiled wryly, under the serious injury, she didn't know whether her action was successful or not.Ichimaru Gin is a person who has no sense of tension. It is really difficult for him to say the word "death" in a serious manner. For three years, I have been by Kuchiki Byakuya's side, and I have been obsessed with his sternness, and I forgot Ichimaru Gin's nature.

Really have to say a long time no see.

Aoki straightened her back and tried to shift her weight away from the tree trunk. In the world she lived in, she was not qualified to say "I'll leave the rest to you".

As if waking up from a big dream, from Mao to Xuquan.

The initial effect of the healing technique, Aoki half leaned on the tree and searched for his own broken knife with his eyes.

From Liuhun Street to Worm's Nest, from Worm's Nest to Liuhun Street, everything in the past seems unreal, only the pain at this moment is clear.

Aoki's heart suddenly became as clear as an epiphany. She actually doesn't care about anything, and she doesn't pursue anything, so she wants the freedom of doing nothing.The warmth of childhood was too short, and she was destroyed and numb during the plastic period.

but.

Kuchiki Byakuya told her not to be afraid.

Ichimaru silver told her to hold on.

The completely different tone gave her the same shock, making her eye sockets tingle in the most real, immediate pain.

Then, even if a part of me has suffered irreparable damage, after going through this process, I can move closer to the complete and correct direction.

With a loud bang and a violent vibration, Aoki who finally stood up was thrown back.

Ichimaru Gin climbed up from the shattered rocks, wearing the Shiba outfit with its sleeves torn off.There were only a few scratches on his body, but when he got up, he paused abruptly. The young man didn't look at Aoki, but seemed to be watching her every move: "Don't worry, little Aoki. Take a rest, we haven't arrived yet." When you make a move."

Aoki supported the tree trunk and stood up slowly, the healing technique continued to run, which made her whole body emit a faint light, a slightly greenish white light, which was very similar to the shrine in her dream, but unfortunately Aoki didn't notice it.

The girl walked to the place where she was shot, picked up the broken knife on the ground with her toes, and grabbed the handle with a slightly stiff movement. Now it is difficult for her to bend down, and she is in pain.

"Before making big moves, you need to do warm-up exercises." She responded to Ichimaru Gin's words in this way.

"Hey? Is Xiao Aoki really ready to make a move? Give me a chance for a hero to save the beauty." Ichimaru Gin stood in place, did not take the initiative to attack, but squinted at Xu.

Xu couldn't figure out the reality of Ichimaru Gin, and he also didn't take the initiative to attack.The knife wound that pierced it was still bleeding, but it didn't care.

Aoki knew that Ichimaru Gin wanted to use the conversation to delay time and accumulate strength, so he continued to cooperate.In Mao, others thought she was cold because she didn't talk much, but with Ichimaru silver gag is as easy as breathing.

"You don't look like a hero." She snorted.

"You can save the beauty without being a hero." Ichimaru Gin shrugged, and moved his left hand under his ribs without any trace, "I'm better than a toad."

Before the words fell, he made a false move.

At the same time, Aoki also moved, and the fire burst out from her palm in a flourishing manner, and burned into a wall against the ground, rushing straight away.

Xu's movements were too fast, and Aoki's fire could not catch up with it.Ichimaru Gin held the sharp gun to meet the enemy head-on, but unfortunately, his movements were not as smooth as before.Suppressed by a vain that grew more ferocious due to pain.

Ichimaru Gin couldn't do what he wanted to be pushed back by Xu, and the straw sandals drew two scorched black marks on the ground.Aoki wanted to catch up, but the pain in her body stopped her.

With a loud bang, it was Ichimaru Gin who smashed into the bushes, and in the collapse surrounded by smoke and dust, Xu turned his head and looked at Aoki, as if saying, it's your turn.

Aoki lowered his eyelids slightly, and there was no expression on his face with blood stains that were not wiped clean, Xu read the familiar sense of danger from it.

——That's right, it's very similar to the feeling of the man who was defeated by him, the man who always smiled.

Not caring about the wounded companion—although they did go out to rescue each other, not caring about the wounded self, only the enemy in their eyes.

The beautiful Xu flicked his tail slowly, isn't this the same as Xu?But why, I always feel that there is a huge difference between the ruthlessness and emptiness reflected between them?

Is it because they are gods of death?

Xu is not satisfied with his own answer, but with relatively chaotic thinking, it has no way to think about the next step.It attacks with sudden rage.

The cyan flame expanded, and the burning was so intense that the surrounding air was distorted.Xu is not afraid, it has already experienced the power of flames, that's all.

Xu Yi rushed towards Aoki, separated by the distorted air, the girl with drooping eyes showed a careless laziness, which should not appear on her face, because a moment ago, her expressionless face was serious and cautious .Xu attributed this change to the illusion of air distortion.

Its claws had already touched the flames, and were about to pierce the girl's body behind the flames.

At this time, a voice involuntarily appeared in Xu's mind - ah, so beautiful, as beautiful as a fake, she.

A nimble figure jumped out of the flames, bringing broken blue light into the air, its sharp claws swept from top to bottom, and the girl's figure was torn apart like a piece of paper.

But those colorful fragments turned into smaller confetti and disappeared into the air little by little.

Xu finally realized something was wrong.It turned its head abruptly, and behind the flames on the other side, two figures were helping to leave.Xu squinted his eyes, kicked his hind legs on the ground, and chased after him.

■

Aoki bent down and coughed again, the black and red blood quickly gathered in a pool in front of her.

Xu had gone so far that he couldn't even feel the spiritual pressure, so the girl put away the flames.The way she let out the flames was the same as before, only this time using the flames seemed to drain all the strength from her body.She could only do her best, and she didn't have time to think about why the ghost ran away as soon as it touched the flames.

Something in the body was violently colliding and wanted to break out, Aoki was so uncomfortable that he couldn't even scream.

What about Ichimaru Gin?Aoki fell into a pool of blood with a snap.He didn't die so easily, did he?

As if to confirm her words, a voice came from the collapsed bushes. Not long after, a young man covered in scars staggered over, and he was still in the mood to joke: "Oh, little Aoki, did you really give it a fatal blow? ? That's amazing."

He walked in front of Aoki, but carried the girl on his back with unexpectedly gentle movements.

Aoki really wanted to say, you can't even walk steadily, and you still want to carry me?You overestimate yourself.

But now she can't say a word, and there is a voice in her heart that cannot be ignored. This time, she was not left behind, unexpectedly, she was not left behind by Ichimaru Gin.

Aoki's consciousness gradually blurred, but Ichimaru Gin became noisy.

The young man stood up staggeringly: "Hold on, little Aoki. The journey in Xuquan has just begun, and you haven't even visited Xuye Palace yet. 28 is waiting for you at your place."

The Reiatsu of the girl on her back was flickering like a flame that was about to be extinguished, and Ichimaru Ginto felt a kind of dazed panic in his heart.

At that time, he saw Aoki and the young master of Kuchiki's family walking on the deserted street, the girl held the drunken boy's arm, the movement of reaching out was so natural, so natural that he felt uncomfortable, as if he was about to lose something.

Ichimaru Gin walked staggeringly towards the exit of the Ozo no Mori, which he had known for a long time, and he chattered——

"Hey, little Aoki, occasionally give some responses, singing a one-man show makes people feel so sad."

The boy's voice is so lonely.
