[Death Doujin] Ink dyed white smoke

The new year of becoming the head of the family is not as uncomfortable as imagined.

After Moran Soichiro retired, he and Suzuki Butler left Moran's main house and moved to a separate mansion to recuperate. Occasionally, he and a few old noble friends would organize trips to the present world to find his granddaughter as a guide. The retirement life is quite nourishing.

Mrs. Suzuki couldn't let go of her granddaughter who took over as the new housekeeper, so she decided to stay and raise her, while assisting Suzuki Sumire to train new recruits.

Under Kuchiki Yinling's behest of this year's nobleman's annual meeting, Moran Xianyi attended Kuchiki Byakuya together.

While strolling leisurely at the exhibition site, I happened to run into Ryuichi Todo, who was taking his two sons out as trainees. The other party only exchanged a few words with them before leaving in a hurry, leaving Yusuke Todo and his elder brother to salute the two tremblingly .

Excluding the aristocrats, these two are their death chiefs.

On the way back to the Deadwood House for dinner, the two analyzed the relationship between the nobles in recent years, locked on a few moderate and neutral families, and planned to separate and deepen contact with them after a while.

Kuchiki Byakuya hopes that the plan can be implemented after her position as the head of the family is stabilized, so as to avoid any accidents.Moran Xianyi was noncommittal about this, and readily agreed.

Before leaving the rotten wood house, the two went to the ancestral hall to pay homage to Fei Zhen.

The furnishings in the room are low-key and solemn, and the atmosphere is peaceful and peaceful, just like what she saw that day.

Seeing Kuchiki Byakuya's tender expression when he stared at the photo of Hiejin, Moran Xianyi was very grateful that there was such a man who let her know that there is still a beauty that never changes in this world.

In order to take care of the work of the present world, the chairperson, and the head of the family at the same time, Mo Ranxianyi resigned from writing the column of Seilingting Newsletter, and only sent a few photos to Captain Dongxian for use as drawings in his spare time.

Mu Mi is nine years old, and her body is already showing signs of aging.Even though he has already decided to take her back to the Soul Realm, Mo Ran Xianyi still wants to spend the rest of her life with her as an ordinary owner.

For this reason, she brought all the things to the present world to deal with, and she really had to go back to the world of souls and souls in a hurry to get back and forth on the same day.Suzuki Sumire will report to the present world regularly about the affairs in the house, so she is not worried.As for the blind date with Yusuke Todo, she postponed it indefinitely. She is not in the mood to deal with the pressure of the elders on her marriage.

All the way to April, when the cherry blossoms are in full swing, the little gentleman Haruna Mai in her heart officially became a junior high school student.Entrusted by the busy Mr. Haruna, Moran Xianyi participated in the opening ceremony of the current school as an agent.

There is no age limit for the admission of students to the Shino Spiritual Art Academy. As long as they have the qualifications to become a god of death, they can take the exam. Children of nobles are even listed on the admission list as soon as they are born.The opening ceremony is just a formality, not as important as it is in the present world.

Moran Xianyi secretly observed the parents who looked at their children with a slightly proud expression, and felt fresh in his heart.

She thought that no matter how many years she experienced these things in this world, she would never forget them.

In the past six months, Mo Ran Xianyi only met Lan Ran once.

Abandoning the chanting of the broken way of 75, she proudly made Aizen nod and applaud with the power of [-]% of the original ghost way.

I don't usually have the chance to meet each other, so if I want to communicate, I rely on writing letters.After all, as the team leader, Aizen is busy with work and has a full schedule, and receiving a reply within a month can make her very happy.

I thought life would go on smoothly like this.

After going back to the Soul Realm in August to organize Oikawa and Miyajima's wedding, she received an urgent task instruction from the captain before she had time to catch her breath.

The orders that are usually issued directly from the first team are different, so Mo Ran Xianyi walked into the first team leader's room cautiously and fearfully.It was a bit late for her to rush back from the present world, and after saluting, she found that there were other people in the room besides the chief captain and vice-captain Sparrow──

The vice-captain of the [-]th Division Toru Isamu, the vice-captain of the [-]th Division Matsumoto Rangiku, and the chief officer of the [-]th Division Hisagi Shuhei who I met not long ago.

"Recently, it has been reported that the resident gods of death in several cities were attacked by mutants who are good at hiding spiritual pressure, and one eyeball was taken away. Have you heard any rumors about this?" Don't be wordy, just ask straight to the point.

"Yes, I have heard of it a little bit." The four responded respectfully in unison.

Captain Yamamoto opened one eye, glanced at the four people and then stopped on Moran Kanyi: "Moran Four Seats, what is the situation in Kuza Town?"

"So far there has been no abnormalities."

"En." Hearing this, Commander Yamamoto tapped the floor with his cane, and ordered solemnly and sharply, "From today until the incident is resolved, I will order the [-]th division's fourth seat, Moran Kanyi, to be the captain of the conquest unit, and Matsumoto Rangiku, the vice-captain of the [-]th division. , Hisagi Shuhei, the fifth member of the [-]th division, and Toru Yunon, the vice-captain of the [-]th division of the logistics team, went to the present world to crusade against the Mutant Void that took away the eyeballs of the god of death.

"—Above."

As soon as the words fell, the four of them knelt down on one knee to accept the order.When the cane hit the floor again, the four of them immediately left their place in a blink of an eye.

***

After going back and forth to several cities under attack for a week, Moran Xianyi frowned and stared at the unresponsive messenger in his hand, feeling exhausted.

"Hey──" Matsumoto Ranju rolled around on Moran Xianyi's bed, and Mumi lay on the side and looked at her calmly, "Why can't I rest? I want to go shopping today──"

"I can't do it, Miss Ranju, our work is not over yet." Huche Yuyin knelt down on the soft sculpted cushion solemnly, trying to reassure his friend.

"Shuhei──Okay, let's go out for a stroll──" Matsumoto Rangiku saw that the two women ignored her proposal, and turned to the only man in the room.

Hisagi Shuhei blushed when he saw the other party's clothes slightly opened, but he didn't stop working.Borrowing to live in his senior's house, he couldn't afford to eat and live for nothing, so he found some housework to do.Just washed the dishes in the kitchen and now is diligently sweeping the floors.

"Don't bully Mr. Hisagi, Rangiku." Putting the messenger aside, Moran Kanyi smiled hoarsely. They hadn't rested for a week, and they rushed to the city when they received news of a suspected false attack. It was nothing. "The captain attaches great importance to this operation, and it is not time to relax."

"But—"

Mo Ran Xianyi tapped the other party's forehead, and said with a soft smile: "It's not easy to have a captain in the team, I thought you would be a little more serious."

Matsumoto Rangiku, who is determined to write a teaching book on "How to Be Lazy while Being Friendly with Your Boss", doesn't like this: "What's the matter? Anyway, it's not a day or two since Captain Shiba despises you."

This year, the captain of the [-]th squad is determined to be replaced by Zhibo Yixin, and finally the [-]th squad with a captain is slowly on the right track.The new captain is very capable, but his only miscalculation is probably to recruit Matsumoto Rangiku as his adjutant.

The captain's workload is already heavy, and since Rangiku became the vice captain, Captain Shiba's working hours have doubled.When he finally found out what the problem was, he couldn't escape the overtime cycle set up by his adjutant intentionally or unintentionally.

"You..." Moran Xianyi smiled helplessly and shook her head. Her friend is so capricious and cute, no one would really be angry with her.When it's time to be serious, she takes it more seriously than anyone else.

"But we've all been here for a week, and we don't know how many people were beheaded, but there's no news about the mutation." Hu Che Yongyin was worried.The conquest troops dispatched a combination of double lieutenants and double chiefs, and the enemy was really tricky.Although they haven't heard of anything going wrong recently, they can't just sit still.

Moran Xianyi spread out the map of the surrounding cities, pointed to the red circle on the top and analyzed: "The Kongza town we are in is a land of heavy spirits, and the place where the false attack returned happened to circle around the town."

"──Except here." Hinoki Sagi Shuhei put down the cleaning tools, and pointed to the city marked with an asterisk on the map, Tianlecho.

For this reason, they initially analyzed the city where the next victim would be, so they placed some eyeliners there.But after a week, there were sporadic false attacks, and the mutation disappeared without a trace.It seems that I was wrong.

The enemy heard that it can hide the spiritual pressure, so the messenger machine is probably useless.

The Death colleagues who had their eyeballs taken away are not in danger. If they can get the eyeballs back, the fourth team may be able to cure them. Unfortunately, they all say that they just took their eyes and left, and they disappeared when they wanted to fight back.

The four of them discussed the status quo for a while, and decided to divide into two teams to patrol, and use the messenger to communicate in case of emergency.

Matsumoto Rangiku and Toru Yune intend to try their luck around the edge of Karakuma Town; Mozo Kani and Hisagi Shuhei decide to return to the scene.

"I didn't notice it when I came the day before yesterday," Moran Xianyi squatted on the open space of the first false attack site, and keenly found something wrong, "Why is there a spiritual pressure from the Watani team here?"

Watatani is the third victim, stationed in the opposite city.

"Senior Moran! There is also Hanada-senpai's Reiatsu here!" Hisagi Shuhei waved his hand not far away.

Mo Ran Xianyi frowned, these two team members have never been out in the medical center, and the spiritual pressure was not there when they were on patrol a few days ago, but now they appear...

Before leaving the open space, Hisagi Shuhei heard Moran Kanyi chanting words, touching the ground with his fingers.

But he didn't open his mouth to ask any questions. Senior must have her reasons for doing things.

The two then re-investigated the five locations where the incident happened, and found different Reiatsu responses in three of them. The news from the Soul World was that the victim said that he had never stepped into a city other than the station.

"That's it." Matsumoto Rangiku, who came to join him, was unusually serious, "Could it be the ability to mutate?"

"Perhaps it has the ability to use the spiritual power of the god of death for its own use." Hisagi Shuhei followed suit.

Looking at the unmoving messenger in his hand, Moran Xianyi temporarily put it in his pocket: "It is preliminarily judged that it can hide one's own spiritual pressure, but it cannot completely eliminate the spiritual pressure of others. If the traces left from those locations Let’s see, maybe it’s just like Hisagi-san said.”

"But to be on the safe side, let's expand the range and assume for the time being that it can use the moves of the god of death. According to the report, the victim himself is fine, but the Zanpakuto has disappeared."

"Then why do you want to take away the eyeballs of God of Death?"

"There is a saying in human beings—" Moran Xianyi recalled Haruna Mai's saying, "The eyes are the window to the soul."

Through this ritual, it can obtain part of the soul of Death.If the hypothesis is true, then this mutation is false...

Suddenly, small fireworks exploded in the night sky, Moran Kanyi's eyes narrowed, and the direction was the place where Watatani was killed.

"Location No. [-], Hisagi-san, come with me. Isamu-san rushes in from the east, and Rangiku-you from the west. The northern side happens to be Tianle Town, which has the largest number of people. Members who don't immediately enter the fighting state after confirming the target should request the corpse first anyway. Support from the soul world."

Remember, don't try hard.

They nodded to each other seriously, and the four disappeared into the night.

Moran Xianyi set up a signal flare in each relatively spacious location.

The ghost way of hiding the signal of Reiatsu by space knot seal is Moran Soichiro's special skill.The characteristic of this thing is that it will only react to the malicious death spirit, and it will not work on the void.The range is small, but it is very helpful for scouting.

As long as it reveals a little clue, it can sense maliciousness and send out a signal.After her mother learned it from her grandfather, she often used it to test whether her husband lied to his wife and children, and secretly went to the Death Reception without telling them.This also cultivated Moran Xianyi's personality that is not very good at lying.

There are no personnel stationed in the several cities that were attacked, and there is a high chance that someone will appear there with malicious intent at this time, and it will be the target.

Even if it wasn't, she still wanted to know which ignorant guy it was.

Sure enough—

The first to enter the battle was Matsumoto Rangiku, who had already released Zanpakutō, a cloud of dust rose up in the open space, and after the fog dissipated, a pile of broken sand appeared around her.

"It really knows how to use the ability of Shinigami!" Seeing the two people appear, Matsumoto Rangiku shouted, while supporting the back of the sword to resist Mutant Xu's attack.

It was a monster with eight legs, and each of the four raised legs held a Zanpakuto.Its body is densely covered with eyes, and the overall feeling is very strange.

Moran Kanyi and Hisagi Shuhei suddenly felt sick.

"Sandification, iron ball, substitute, protective film, and healing!" Moran Xianyi yelled to join the battle. She caught a glimpse of Huche Yuyin quietly hiding behind the bushes, and she must be asking for support. "This is the five soldiers. Zanpakuto ability!"

Together with Matsumoto Rangiku, they flicked Huo away forcefully, followed by Hisagi Shuhei Zanpakuto's Hajime, and tied it tightly with chains.Mo Ran Xianyi saw that it still had a way to struggle, so he chanted the ghost way.

The Tao-bound "Six Sticks of Light Prison" chanted in its entirety was useless to spiders, and Mo Ran Xianyi immediately released Hong Die.

"Damn it, is it a protective film?" When Moran Xianyi's most famous paralyzing black butterfly was confirmed to be ineffective against it, Matsumoto Rangiku clicked his tongue.It happened to be Zanpakuto, a defense system that can resist ghosts, and Moran Xianyi's nemesis at all.

There was a Zanpakutao in Zhixu's hand, the blade disappeared, it must be that one, Moran Xianyi decided to knock off the handle first.Unexpectedly, just as he made a move, he heard Hisagi withdraw Zanpakuto in horror.

"Sand, desertification..."

As soon as his body was lightened, Zhixu rushed towards Hisagi angrily. Before Hisagi had time to react, he abruptly caught the big iron ball tied with an iron chain and was knocked hundreds of meters away.Fortunately, Huche Yuyin appeared at the right time and blocked him, so he was not seriously injured.

Just let this protective film disappear.

"Crumble, gray cat!"

"It's windy, Hongdie."

Looking at each other tacitly, Moran Xianyi sideways avoided the attack of the iron ball, while throwing out a ribbon to wrap around the hairy and thin limbs holding the handle of the defensive Zanpakutō. The form of Hongdie is not afraid of desertification.

A gray mist enveloped the arm, Matsumoto Rangiku swiped down the hand holding the handle, and the spider's slender limb snapped.

Taking advantage of the moment the hilt left its body──

"Raise your feathers, Hongdie!" Seventy percent of the dose was used to paralyze the black butterfly, and Mo Ranxianyi felt that more than half of his spiritual power had been taken away.But it's worth it to watch the spider move noticeably slower.

"Let's run, Dongyun!"

"Cut it off, the wind is dead!"

Toru Yunon found an opportunity to freeze Xu's feet, and behind him, Hisagi threw out a double-headed black scythe, cutting off all eight of Xu's feet.

The above said that it is best to keep alive, so I didn't choose to cut off the head.

"The 63 of Binding Dao──Shipping with a lock bar." Hu Che Yongyin quickly added a ghost road, and seeing that the Binding Dao had definitely bound the variation, the four of them heaved a sigh of relief.Fortunately, nothing major happened.

"That's great──" Matsumoto Ranju happily ran over from one side, and Moran Kanyi smiled and got up to catch her who was rushing over. She didn't expect to raise her eyes, but the smile she was about to raise froze on her lips.

A black shadow suddenly appeared behind Matsumoto Rangiku, and then a knife slowly pierced her abdomen.Taking advantage of the slow speed of the other party affected by the paralysis, Moran Xianyi hurriedly carried Luanju back to Huche Yongyin in front of Huche Yongyin.

The blood kept gushing out, and Matsumoto Rangiku's face gradually lost its color. Isamura Torutsu knelt down urgently to treat her.

They all forgot that the fifth knife was a stand-in.

Now there are only two people left who can fight.

"Then, what is that..."

The densely packed eyeballs on the spider's body rolled at the same time, and after it stopped, its body became much darker again, and the sixth knife was raised in its hand.

How could she not know whose knife it was?

"Grey cat..." Moran Xianyi murmured, and rushed to Luanju's side, half of her eyeballs were weathering, her heart tightened.

"You, why, want, to kill me?" A thin, broken voice came from the empty false face, "Aren't we, fellow, companions?"

From the corner of his eyes, Hisagi caught sight of Matsumoto Rangiku who was giving first aid, and roared angrily at Xu: "Who is your partner with a monster like you!"

After finishing speaking, he rushed forward with Zanpakuto.Before Moran Xianyi could stop it, he saw several wounds cut by the gray cat's ability after blocking the iron ball vigorously, and Zanpakuto was even damaged by the ability of sandification.

Moran Xianyi's heart tightened, and he quickly threw the long ribbon over to bring Hisagi back: "Why are you so impulsive?"

The eyeballs are still there and show no signs of weathering, which is great.

Quickly helping Hisagi to stop the bleeding, Moran Xianyi told him to be careful and concentrate on staying where he was to protect Ranju and Yongyin.

"Senior Moran..." Hisagi, who had lost his Zanpakuto, was very anxious, but seeing Moran Kanyi's firm eyes, he could only keep silent.

"Do you know what we can do now?" Seeing that the enemy had retrieved the defensive Zanpakuto, Mo Ranxianyi judged that the two of them had no chance by relying on force alone. "Stay away and wait for rescue."

It's not something that just wants to rely on his own pride, and he clenched the Zanpakuto with his backhand, Mo Ran Xianyi's heart trembled: "Weave a soft dream, break the cocoon, Hongdie."

She had to find a way to stall for time.

After finishing speaking, white buildings appeared on the vacant lot that had been destroyed.

This is the hometown she has lived in for hundreds of years, and it is also the scenery she has seen for hundreds of years.

"Hey, Spider."

In the center of the scene, Moran Xianyi did not hide himself this time, but stood there loudly, with a frivolous tone.

After spending five years with that man, she also learned the ability to taunt: "Do you know where this is?"

where?A suspicious voice came from the empty mask.

Mo Ran Xianyi made an exaggerated puff when he heard the words, and said with disdainful eyes: "This is interesting. You, didn't you say that you are also a god of death?"

"I, yes, Grim Reaper." The spider turned around and looked at the white buildings. It didn't know what the woman in front of it wanted to say.

"Seiling Court, the hometown of the God of Death." Mo Ran Xianyi raised the corners of his lips, "Why, are you afraid that you haven't even brought your brain out?"

"I don't know this. You lied to me." The hollow voice began to have emotions.Mo Ran Xianyi knew that it was panic.

"Forget it, such a clumsy lie." Mo Ranxian's heart was pounding, his muscles tensed, but he said it in a very casual tone, "A mere Xu dares to claim that he is a god of death."

It had to be shaken, it had to drag on a little longer.

"I, I am Shinigami." Xu vigorously shook the Zanpakuto in his hand, "I got, got, Shinigami, power."

"I didn't see that."

"Just, if you devour the god of death's spiritual power, I, too, have death and domineering pretense."

Moran Xianyi squinted his eyes and looked at its whole body. Indeed, after gaining the power of Luanju, its color became much darker: "You don't know about Selingting, but you know the word "deadly pretense."

why?

"I, is death, god. I, am."

The broken words and sharp voice made Moran Xianyi's eardrums hurt a little, but the conversation had to continue: "The black body and Zanpakuto really look like that."

I saw Xu Yao swayed his body, seemed very happy: "I, we are really, really companions."

Moran Xianyi took a deep breath, bit his lips and emphasized word by word: "You are not my companion, and true companions will not hurt each other."

"I, didn't hurt my co-companion. I just, absorbed."

"Who told you that?" Looking sideways at the other's second and fourth arms which were frantically flung because of his eagerness to explain, Mo Ran Xianyi quietly put the handle of the red butterfly knife behind his back.

The topic could not continue any longer, she had to think of countermeasures in advance.

Xu Xu, who was eager to explain at first, heard the question, and suddenly stopped all his movements.Mo Ran Xianyi felt bad for a while.

"That, my lord, said that if someone wants to inquire about him," Xu pointed the three Zanpakutō forwards—the gray cat, the iron ball, and the sand—and released them at the same time, "All of them, the enemy .”

I fought for more than ten minutes, which is not bad.It's just that she really didn't want to use it.

"Waltz of Death, dance with your wings, Red Butterfly!"

When asked, the owner of Zanpakuto said that the substitute can only be used once in a short period of time.

Physical attack, targeting those two raised arms.

Seireitei's illusion disappeared instantly.

Healing and protective film, the two Zanpakuto and Xu's thin limbs were all taken away by the killing black butterfly.Mo Ran Xianyi's throat constricted for a while. Anyway, it was a little hoarse, so it's good to rest for a day.

Transforming Red Butterfly into a fan form, she has to rely on it to survive.Yong Yin's expression has relaxed a little, and Luan Ju is no longer a serious problem.just eyes...

She had to get rid of the gray cat in Xu's hand.

They have been making mistakes all the time. It is not that Zanpakuto disappears after taking the eyeballs, but because Zanpakuto is taken away, half of the soul is taken away.

The gray mist hit her, and Mo Ranxianyi raised his fan and fanned it to the side without blinking, not letting the gray cat touch her.

Seize the opportunity to wrap the ribbon around Xu's foot, blow it high and fall heavily.

Inadvertently seeing the surprised eyes of Hisagi Shuhei beside him, Moran Kanyi's heart tightened. She really didn't just want to rely on her arrogance, she just regretted──

Why do you only think about not wanting to use the Killing Black Butterfly?If you use it from the beginning, Luan Ju will not be injured, and everything will become simple.

She was really selfish.

She still has strength and spiritual power, looking at Xu who fell to the ground, she wants to help Luanju get the gray cat back.

A shunpo flashed in front of Xu, and Moran Xianyi raised his Zanpakuto and stabbed Xu's mask──

"Miss Mo Ran, you still haven't changed the habit of opening the defense hole on the right side when you are nervous."

Suddenly recalled Lan Ran whispering in her ear, the same position, the same pain in the heart...

Because of fear, she often subconsciously ignored the right abdomen during the battle, and a knife was slowly pushed out.

Cold sweat was dripping down, Hisagi's roar and Yuon's scream could be heard in her ears, and she still──

Don't want to die.

The author has something to say: rush out before going out!happy holidays!
