Hong Ji

Chapter 12

He hurriedly arrived at Yijinran's Urahara, and after getting the location of Hongji, he hurriedly ran to Lifu Mountain in the northern section of the third west district, and even used Shunpo, just to make himself come back again. See her sooner.

It's a pity that Urahara is not the future Shunshin Yaichi, but compared to his peers, he is also a rare good talent, so when he rushed from Yijinran to Lifu Mountain in the mouth of the flower, it didn't take much time .

Before that, Urahara had never been to Lifu Mountain, so he didn't know that there was such a beautiful place in the West Third District of Liuhun Street.Lush trees, green lawns everywhere, and the blue sky, the warm sun in the afternoon will warm even the heart.

Speaking of which, this is a very suitable place for a spring outing.

But Urahara was not in such a good mood to appreciate the scenery.

Even though he already knew that Hong Ji was pretending to be on Lifu Mountain, a new problem followed, he didn't know how to find Hong Ji on this Lifu Mountain.

If she was a soul with spiritual power, it would be easier to deal with, just search for the spiritual pressure; but in Urahara's eyes, Hong Ji is the whole soul without spiritual power - this is of course the same as Hong Ji has been restraining herself. Her Reiatsu, to prevent others from discovering that her Reiatsu is not like a god of death, but now it is causing Urahara a lot of trouble.

Just when Urahara was thinking about looking for Hong Ji one by one on the Lifu Mountain, he felt a sudden burst of spiritual pressure. Although it was not particularly intense like that of a captain, it was not to be underestimated.

But this is not the main reason why that burst of Reiatsu attracted Urahara's attention.

The reason why Urahara cared about that burst of Reiatsu was because it was different from ordinary Reaper's Reiatsu, but it was not false either.This was an unknown Reiatsu that he had never seen before.

——No, the Reiatsu is not unknown either.

He always felt that he seemed to have seen such a unique and weird spiritual pressure before, but he just couldn't remember it for a while.

Although he was anxious to find Hong Ji, he couldn't just ignore the spirit pressure. After all, as long as he was on Lifu Mountain, Hong Ji, whose whereabouts are still unknown, might be involved.

More importantly, he could feel the Asahi pinned to his waist trembling slightly, as if whimpering or screaming, a thin layer of red spirits covered the Asahi, looking It looked like it was emitting a red light.

(Could it be related to Zanpakuto?)

He guessed so.

Urahara ran towards the location of the spiritual pressure along the spiritual channel, and on the way, he suddenly remembered that he had felt this kind of spiritual pressure in Hong Ji's Yijinran.Yes, when Ye Yi went to Yijinran for the first time, he felt this unprecedented spiritual pressure from the man who suddenly appeared and took Hong Ji away.

Since then, Hong Ji's attitude towards him has also begun to change.

Thinking of this, Urahara quickened his pace and rushed to the place where the Reiatsu was, but saw a scene that he had never imagined.

The person he was looking for was wearing a red dress that he had never seen before—although Hong Ji always wore red clothes and had never seen her with other colors, but those things were also familiar to Liuhun Street. It's just a slightly better material and workmanship, and it has never been the same as the current clothes. It is a little different in Liuhun Street, in Seireitei, and in the entire Soul Soul World.

Hong Ji held a knife in her hand, the blade was slender and had no curvature, and there was no knife between the handle and the blade, but was decorated with a red string, the tail of the handle was curved, and the end was adorned with a string of red tassels.

In terms of the shape of the sword, this sword is different from the Zanpakuto held by Asagi and Shinigami, but Urahara knows that the sword in Honghime's hand is indeed Zanpakuto.

What puzzled Urahara the most was that the Reiatsu that he directly felt was neither Shinigami nor Xu, emanating from Hong Ji.

The sword pinned to his waist trembled more violently as he approached Hongji, and the mournful sound could be heard even if he hadn't pulled out the knife, it seemed to be extremely mournful, but Qianqian was originally only a little The red light of the layer also became more and more dazzling, as if it would expand and burst at any time.

Urahara put his hands on the light pad on his waist, the red light seemed to seep through, but it wasn't hot at all, and he didn't even feel a tingling pain in his palm.

He didn't walk towards Hong Ji immediately, but followed the cover of the bushes, and then looked at her from a distance, as if he wanted to see what she would do next.

Hong Ji stood at the same spot with the knife in her hand, then suddenly raised her arm and swung the knife towards the hillside in front of her.The red spirits formed a beam of dazzling red light, and they slashed towards the hillside quickly and sharply, and then there was a loud noise. On the surface of the hillside where the marks came out, a long mark four or five meters deep appeared.

On the other hand, Hong Ji has no expression on her face from the beginning to the end, as if she is not the one who made this series of actions and carved scars on the hill.

"Since you're here, come out and talk."

She didn't turn her head, she still looked at the hill full of scars, and spoke indifferently.There is no softness in her tone, and her expression is not as gentle as before. At this moment, she is like a cold knife without the slightest warmth.

Such a red princess made Urahara feel a little strange.

"you……"

Urahara finally pushed aside the leaves and walked out from behind the bushes until he stopped three steps away from Hong Ji.The scarf on his waist still glowed red and was still trembling, but the cry was not as mournful as before.

It's more like excitement.

"You came at last."

Hong Ji was like the bees and flowers that Urahara met in Yijin Dye before, she looked at the light gun that was glowing red at his waist, and then raised the corners of her mouth, showing a warm smile.

"It seems that the time is almost here."

"What is this..."

what happened.

Urahara looked at Hong Ji, he didn't know anything about the current situation.

What's the matter with Hongji's words similar to Xihua?She has never been able to feel spiritual power before, why does she have such an unusual spiritual pressure?Why isn't she the Shinigami who has the Zanpakuto?And what happened to the shallow slap on his waist?

The most important problem is Hong Ji's indifferent attitude.

"Let's talk later if you have anything to say."

Hong Ji turned her head to look at Urahara, the arc she had raised earlier has been curtailed at this moment, and she has returned to her original indifference, which reminds Urahara of that day when he was in Yijinran, facing that strange, but also Hong Ji, who is also a man in a well-dressed man.

Could it be that in Hong Ji's eyes, she, like that man, has become an existence that she hates?

Hong Ji took a few steps back, then raised her hand and aimed the knife straight at Urahara, this action made Urahara's expression change slightly, but she didn't say anything.

"Draw your knife."

The indifference of her tone made Urahara feel a little startled.

He had never seen such a Hongji before, even if the smile she saw in Yijinran a few months ago was not sincere, it was much better than the present one who didn't even want to pretend.

He didn't know why he and Hong Ji had come to this point - he had only just seen his heart clearly, but he found that Hong Ji had already gone far.

Why couldn't he see his heart clearly earlier and earlier?

Why hadn't he been able to ask those words earlier?

Why did they come to such a point where they had to face each other with swords?

"……why."

He was still the same as before, but he felt Hong Ji's mood, and it was precisely because he could feel Hong Ji's heart that he understood that she was serious and wanted him to draw the sword seriously.

"why?"

Hong Ji tilted her head, Urahara's figure was reflected in her charming almond eyes, but she was not confused at all.

"Because it's necessary for you and me."

"If you won't draw your sword, then let me force you to draw it from its sheath."

Having said that, Hong Ji quickly slashed at Urahara with the knife in her hand, without any hesitation or pause, as if she really wanted to kill the person in front of her.

Urahara narrowly used the scabbard to block Hong Ji's first round of attacks, but under Hong Ji's subsequent attacks, it was still a bit difficult.For her such a strong attack, Urahara only felt a little surprised after being puzzled.

Seeing that Hongji was gentle and gentle on weekdays, but he never thought that after the knife was replaced by the hands that usually turn the abacus and keep the book, there would be such a violent and heavy attack. Even he couldn't resist it any longer.

"Are you really not going to draw the knife?"

Hong Ji looked coldly at Urahara who was forced to retreat by her attack, her tone was not as gentle as before.

"It's still your dignity, you are not allowed to draw a knife to a woman?"

"...I just don't want to draw my sword at you, Dongyun."

Urahara said softly, and found that after hearing his words, Hong Ji's attacking action finally paused a little, and after that there was another round of fierce attacks.

"You don't have to care who your opponent is," she paused, but her attack did not slow down at all. "You just need to know that those who face your blade are all enemies."

"Even if it's you?"

"no matter who."

Hong Ji finally chuckled, "There is no room for hesitation or pity on the battlefield, and there is no one who is unwilling to draw his sword. If you are still unwilling to confront your enemy and only know how to escape, then in the end The one who died must be you."

"If you are such a person, why not..."

Just let you die in my hands now.

Urahara read the second half of the sentence from Hong Ji's eyes, and Hong Ji's attack became more and more fierce immediately after, without even giving him a moment to breathe.

He finally understood that Hong Ji was serious.

Seriously want him to draw the knife.

Seriously want to kill him.

After a short period of hesitation, Urahara finally pulled out his Asagi from the scabbard. Although it could not be compared with the Zanpakuto in Hongji's hand that was in the state of unraveling, it was not even a Zanpakutao in the state of unraveling. Zanpakuto, but he still resisted Hong Ji's sword with the shallow strike in his hand.

"now it's right."

Hong Ji smiled softly, with some satisfaction in her eyes.

"Then let's have a good fight."

she says.

"As for your questions, you'll know when we're done playing."

"You and Shimbashi-kun really look alike," Urahara seemed to be infected by Honghime's smile, as if joking, but there was no smile on his face because of Honghime's attack.

"That's what he said just now."

Let him answer his own question first, and then tell him where Hong Ji is.

But who would have thought that when he came to Lifu Mountain, what greeted him was Hong Ji's sword.

"After getting along with him for a long time, there will naturally be some similarities." Perhaps because of the mention of the flowers, Hong Ji's eyes that were originally frosty were stained with a bit of softness, "It's a pity..."

I couldn't say goodbye to him properly.

"what?"

"No, nothing."

Hong Ji stopped the attack in her hands, and then took a step back, "Since you have already drawn your sword, let's start from the beginning and have a serious fight."

"I never thought that you are so addicted to war."

Urahara shook his head as if meeting Hongji for the first time, and said with a bit of helplessness.

"War-loving?" Hong Ji just raised her eyebrows after hearing this word, "Perhaps, I used to be war-loving because I wanted to find what I lost, but now I'm fighting with you..."

"It's just that I think it's necessary."

After drawing the sword, Urahara was indeed different from when he was only defensive, but even so, he still felt a little overwhelmed by Hong Ji's more violent attack than before.

There were scars on his back, arms and legs. Although the wounds were not particularly deep, and some were just scratches, Urahara knew that these were just the result of Hong Ji's release of water.Judging from the fact that the wounds on his body were getting more and more serious, if he didn't attack again, Hong Ji might really kill him.

"Broken Way No. 32," Urahara sideways avoided Hong Ji's attack, and then, as if he had made up his mind, he put on an offensive posture, "Yellow Fire Flash."

Seeing that Urahara finally made his first official attack in this battle, the smile on Hongji's face deepened a lot, as if she was very satisfied with the result.

Just being satisfied doesn't mean she will stop there. She pointed the knife at the oncoming flames, and after drawing a circle in the air with the tip of the knife, the ghost attack was canceled out in just a moment.

Urahara looked at Honghime in astonishment, if it was an anti-ghost killing, it would be reasonable, but Honghime didn't even say anything, just using the Zanpakuto in his hand to offset his ghost way, which made him feel a little bit Can't figure out what's going on.

"The way of ghosts is useless to me, but I hope you can fight me for real."

Hong Ji turned her head to look at Urahara.

"Of course, if you want to use Ghost Dao to assist, I will not refuse."

There are a few moves in her initial interpretation that are very similar to the ghost way of the god of death-not only like breaking the way, but also binding the way.If I really want to say, her initial understanding is the ghost-type Zanpakuto, but compared to other Zanpakuto that are more destructive, she has both sides in mind.

"Destroy yourself, black dog of Ronda Nini; burn up completely in one read, and cut your own throat!"

After being told by Hong Ji, Urahara immediately raised his sword to attack her, but during the attack, he chanted the incantation of Kidao, "Nine of Binding Dao, Collapsing Wheel."

The red rope-like spirits entangled with Honghime, but broke immediately after binding Honghime——Honghime didn't even do anything, compared to Urahara, Hongji was not at all in this situation be surprised.

If this bondage is compared to a rope, then she is originally a knife. After the rope is tied to the knife, it will inevitably be cut by the blade, which is nothing surprising.

Seeing that the broken way and bound way are useless to Honghime, Urahara no longer uses the ghost way, but fights with Honghime with the shallow strike in his hand, but this is quickly seen by Hongji as something wrong.

"It's such a gentle attack... Are you worried that you will hurt me?" Hong Ji frowned and asked coldly, "Or are you worried that the knife in my hand will cut off your shallow sword? ? Then all previous efforts will be in vain when I get along with you with a shallow fight?"

Urahara remained silent and did not answer.

"Just let me get all your naive thoughts out of your head."

Urahara looked at Hong Ji and wanted to say something, but in the end all he could say was dry, "Are you serious?"

"I think that's pretty obvious."

Hearing such an answer, Urahara sighed softly, then slowly raised the knife, and then attacked Hong Ji, without hesitation or firing, but with a murderous attack like an enemy.

"That's fine..."

Hong Ji murmured softly, and then used the knife in her hand to resist Urahara's Asahi, the collision between the knife and the knife made an unexpected loud noise, and the red spirits covered the knives in their hands , then trembling and crying.

"This is……"

Urahara seemed to have discovered something suddenly, and looked at Hong Ji with a bit of astonishment.But Hong Ji didn't answer him, but launched another round of attacks.

Just when the battle between the two was in full swing, a strange roar suddenly sounded not far away and attracted the attention of the two of them. Urahara and Hongji turned their heads to look at the source of the sound, but were frightened at the same time. jumped.

It was a Xu, although there would be occasional touches of Xu in Liuhun Street, but he didn't expect it to appear in the first few districts, and even appeared in front of them by such a coincidence.

"Stay behind me and don't move."

Without thinking too much, Urahara immediately stood sideways in front of Hong Ji, without thinking about who has the higher fighting power between the two of them, who is the unscathed one now, and who is the scarred one .

All he cared about was whether something would happen to Hong Ji.

Hong Ji, who was blocked by Urahara, was stunned after hearing this sentence, her eyes were hot as if something was about to burst out of her eyes, but she finally held back.

He held back his tears, and also held back the act of stopping Urahara from sending him to death.

Without Zanpakutō, he just went to fight Xu with a shallow sword. Isn't this sending him to death?Especially now that he is full of scars from the battle just now, maybe his physical strength has already been exhausted, maybe he can't beat that Xu at all.

But he still stopped her behind, leaving her only a back view, and rushed towards the ghost without hesitation.

He said are you serious?

He said to stay behind me and not move.

In front of him, her pretended indifference almost collapsed, but she had no choice but to keep a cold face and force him to do something.So that he can get through this and make her officially his Zanpakutō sooner.

That day, Jinghua Shuiyue came out to her and talked for a long time, just to confirm once again whether she would like to be with him. After getting her rejection, Jinghua Shuiyue said "I know everything" again. There should be no unnecessary emotions towards Shinigami, they are Zanpakutō, and they are destined to be unnecessary and will not have any results.

Then she sent Kyoka Shuige away with her own knife, but after that, she tried her best to avoid Urahara, but sometimes she couldn't help but go back to the shop, just to look at him more.

She really knew that this relationship of hers was destined to end without a problem, and she was very bitter, but she didn't want him to see the flaws, and then alienate herself, and finally she could only force a smile when facing Urahara, but she didn't want him to notice something.

So she told Xihua that if Urahara came to the store with a shallow sword one day, she would tell him where she was. She wanted to take this rare opportunity and consider him her master as soon as possible—after all, Urahara never brought a shallow sword. Come to Yijinran, which makes her want to admit him as the master, but there is no way.

She waited for Urahara at Lifu Mountain, and lived every day as if she was suffering. She hoped that he would show up earlier, but she didn't want him to know that she was his Zanpakuto, for fear that he would think that she had deceived him.And under such circumstances, Urahara finally appeared in front of her with his shallow sword, but he didn't want to face her sharply.

He said it was because of her.

Hong Ji looked at Urahara who was scratched by Xu, the person who would smile gently at her in the past was lying on the ground unable to move at this moment, his slap had been broken in two and fell to the ground.And Naxu had already opened his mouth, and a red light was formed in his mouth, one could tell it was about to emit a false flash.

Without thinking too much, Hong Ji immediately rushed in front of Urahara, used the same way to resolve his ghost way just now to resolve the false flash of Xu, and then kicked the end of Xu away.

"Dongyun, you..."

Why come here.

Then when he fell to the ground, Hong Ji helped Urahara up, her red almond eyes reflected the complex expression of the other person, she looked at him deeply, as if she wanted to imprint his expression and his eyes on herself in his mind, in his heart.

Perhaps it was wrong to force him to face her with a sword.

That was the fastest way she could recognize him as her master, but it was also the way that hurt him the most.

"That head is not dead yet."

She stretched out her hand to cover his broken chest, and the red spirit that covered the chest gave off a very dazzling light in an instant, just like when he found her just now, he saw her sending out light towards the hill. same attack.

"I can lend you my strength."

she says.

The broken sword was instantly enveloped in red light in Urahara's hand, which made him unable to open his eyes, but when the red light dissipated, he was surprised to find that the knife in his hand had changed into a different shape. .

Yes, it became exactly the same as the Zanpakuto in Honghime's hand.

But each Zanpakutō is unique.

In just a short moment, Urahara immediately seemed to have noticed something, and the look in Hong Ji's eyes changed from complicated to unbelievable, and he didn't feel the slightest bit of excitement because his shallow strike turned into Zanpakutō.

"There is no knife in this world that is protected by its own master."

She spoke flatly, as if acquiescing to Urahara's guess.

"Standing in front of the master and beheading all the enemies in front of him for the master, even if his body is stained red with blood and covered with countless sins, this is the mission of the sword."

"you……"

Hong Ji turned around, no longer looking at Urahara, but at Xu, who was kicked away by her just now and finally got up now.

"Go, isn't your battle not over yet?"

Urahara remained silent for a long time, then he patted Hongji's shoulder lightly, and walked slowly towards that animal.

Perhaps he should be grateful for this one, without it, he might not have found his Zanpakuto so early; but he hated this one, because of it, he would know the truth of the matter .

——He wished that he would never know the truth for the rest of his life.

"Wait for me here."

When passing Hong Ji, he said so, with a somewhat dignified tone.

"……I'm waiting for you."

Hong Ji responded, and then added another sentence.

"Also, this time, please don't call me by the wrong name again, Urahara-kun."

It wasn't Yijinran's proprietress, Dongyun. The so-called Dongyun was just a pseudonym for disguise from the beginning.

She is Hong Ji, and she can only be Zanpakuto Hong Ji.

Urahara didn't answer Hong Ji's words, but slowly walked towards Xu who had stood up and was about to launch a second attack. His footsteps may have never been so heavy as before, as if he was dragging a huge boulder. .

"Tweet..."

He raised the Zanpakuto in his hand, and slowly and heavily recited the beginning of the Zanpakuto in his hand.

Maybe he is the first person who is not happy that he got Zanpakuto.

It's really bad.

"Hong Ji."

The beam of light formed by the red spirits quickly slashed towards the ghost, just like the move that Urahara saw Hongji use when he found Hongji just now.Naxu whimpered loudly as if he couldn't bear it, but in the end he turned into a spirit son and disappeared from Urahara's sight.

Urahara's expression didn't change the slightest from the beginning to the end. He calmly watched the Void from the moment it was attacked until it completely disappeared, and then turned around to look at Hongji.

The four eyes looked at each other from a distance, they seemed to read something from each other's eyes, but they didn't seem to know anything.

"It's almost time."

In the end, Hongji was the first to speak. She smiled and sighed softly, but her eyes, which were originally cold, were filled with gentleness again at this moment.

Urahara didn't know what expression to use to face the person in front of him, and he didn't know what he should say. He looked at Hong Ji who finally showed a gentle smile again, and then walked towards her.

Maybe he should be sad.

Because that should be the first love that ended without a disease.

"No matter what, please don't resent me for this."

Hong Ji reached out and stroked Urahara's cheek, the gentle smile on his face hurt Urahara's eyes, he wanted to say something, but in the end he could only keep silent.

"Please also allow me to be with you forever in the future."

"Dong...Hong Ji."

Urahara looked at her, as if he wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Hong Ji.

Her hands tightly held the hand of Urahara holding the knife, and then forced him to hold the knife at the position of her heart, "Just stab here, then I will officially become your Zanpakuto , from now on I can be by your side."

"Hong Ji..."

"...never leave, never give up, live and die together."

"That's enough, Hong Ji! You know that I don't want to..." This is the ending.

Hong Ji, who was held back by Urahara, looked at him, but she didn't get angry because of it, and even the smile on her face didn't change in any way.

"I was born because of you, I came to Ruukon Street, and I met you here. If you say that you don't want to have such an ending, you don't want to have Zanpakuto, and you don't even want to be a god of death because of this, then that's right. My greatest insult."

"But……"

"No but! I am Hong Ji, and Hong Ji can only be your Zanpakuto. If you reject me like this now, then I might as well kill myself."

Urahara's hand holding the knife trembled slightly. This might be the first time he held the knife tremblingly, but Hong Ji's hand held his hand tightly, forcing him to hold the knife tightly in his own hand. knife.

"I……"

Urahara's words stopped abruptly, because Hong Ji had already stepped forward and hugged him tightly, and the knife in his hand pierced her chest because of this.There was no blood flowing from the wound—it was impossible for the Zanpakutou Honghime to bleed, but the red Reiko returned to the sword in Urahara's hand from her wound, and Honghime's figure began to fade away.

"Hongji, you..."

"Sorry, maybe I really can't wait to be your Zanpakuto and stay by your side, Kisuke-sama... Ah, please forgive me for calling you by your name so abruptly, it's just me... ..."

She was still smiling, and her smile didn't fade because her figure gradually faded, and even became more gentle.

"...It's nothing."

Letting go of the hand holding the knife, Urahara hugged Hong Ji back. He couldn't see her expression, but he could feel that the presence of the person in his arms became thinner, and he was almost unable to hold her. up.

"Please don't feel sad, Mr. Xizhu, because I will always be with you. So, can you call me by my name again? Let me know that you don't resent my self-assertion."

Hong Ji slightly distanced herself from Urahara, and burned the other's expression into her heart once again, deeply and indelibly.

"Hong Ji..."

"It's so nice," the corners of Hong Ji's mouth curled up again, "Obviously my name hasn't changed, but when you pronounce it from your mouth, it still sounds better than anyone else's."

"If you like it, I will read it to you every day from now on."

Seeing the fading figure and the smile on Hong Ji's lips, Urahara immediately responded.

"That can't be done, it will be troublesome if you accidentally solve it," Hongji joked, but Urahara couldn't laugh at all, but he still had to force a smile, just so that Hongji wouldn't feel lost.

"Then, I'll take a step first, Mr. Xisuke."

Hong Ji's figure almost became transparent.

"The next time we meet, it will be in your heart."

Her words dissipated in the wind along with her voice, and the Zanpakutō, which had returned to its unresolved state, fell to the ground and plunged into the lawn, and the sun that was about to set in the west sprinkled on the sword A warm light shone from his body, and it hurt Urahara's eyes.

"Goodbye, Hongji."
