Throwing Erlang onto his shoulder, Gu Shi happily began to search for Xu's trace.

Chapter 29: Silencing
The Death Girl ran as fast as she could, not stopping even when she encountered various Hollows along the way, and went straight to the place where she placed the bearded man.
However, even though she had run as fast as she could, when she reached the cave, the broken trees piled at the entrance had been violently knocked away, and there was no trace of the bearded Grim Reaper in the cave.
……
Taking a deep breath, the Death Girl suppressed the anger in her heart, stretched out her hand in the air, and spiritual veins appeared out of thin air. One of the spiritual veins was pitch black and dazzling.
Without saying a word, she grabbed the black spiritual vein, sensed the spiritual energy in it, and then turned around decisively and began to track along the spiritual vein.
The bearded man is dead, and so is he. As long as we evacuate the area under his jurisdiction as soon as possible and erase all traces we left behind, we can always get away with this matter.
But before that, the Xu that ate the bearded man must die!
After the search team arrives in the real world, the first target they will suspect is definitely the group of Hollows that are active here. If the Hollow that ate the bearded man reveals to the search team that when he discovered the bearded man, the bearded man had already lost his ability to move and was imprisoned in the cave, the search team will inevitably realize that there are people other than the Hollows involved in this matter.
By then, she, who lives next to the bearded man, will definitely be included in the suspect list.
must!
Before the search team arrives, kill that damn Hollow!
With murderous intent churning and brewing in her heart, the Death Girl quickly found her target with the guidance of her spiritual meridians.
Fortunately, after eating the bearded creature, the Hollow didn't seem to have any intention of escaping far away. It was still active nearby, saving the Death Girl a lot of effort.
From a distance, the Death Girl heard the Hollow's arrogant laughter and the words -
"Hahaha, God is really blessing me! First I found a useless god of death, and then I immediately encountered such a delicious soul. Don't run away, little guy, let me eat you obediently! This is God's arrangement!"
The moment she heard these words, the Grim Reaper's murderous intent surged, but she also breathed a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, since the virtual beings lost their positive emotions when they became virtual, even if they regained their thinking ability by cannibalism, they would mostly become extreme, arrogant, vicious, and violent. Whenever they met someone they could communicate with, they would be eager to show off the things they thought were worth showing off, in order to satisfy their inflated vanity and, by the way, undermine their opponent's confidence.
Fortunately, we found him, otherwise if this guy ran into the search team, he would probably tell the whole process of how he ate the bearded man if the search team's death god gave him a few instructions.
Having found the target, the Death Girl was no longer in a hurry. She stopped and adjusted her somewhat rapid breathing to get herself back to the best condition. Then she unleashed her Zanpakutō and silently stepped behind the Hollow and slashed at the back of its neck.
Although the Death Girl is not known for her strength, her Zanpakutō and her excellent speed make up for this shortcoming very well.
When the first sword was chopped down, it could only cut through the thick skin of the Hollow before being blocked by the strong muscles. However, relying on the ability of the Zanpakutō to steal power, the second sword was swiftly chopped down and left a shallow scar on the cervical vertebrae of the Hollow.
At this moment, after being slashed twice in a row, Xu realized that he had been ambushed. He was quite strong and had rich combat experience, so he did not foolishly try to look back to see who had attacked him, but immediately rushed forward, trying to distance himself from the attacker.
But just as he moved, the golden binding technique fell on him. Without chanting, the binding effect was not strong and could only delay his movements slightly.
But in the brief moment when he was delayed, the third knife had already fallen, and relying on the power stolen from the first two knives, it cut off his head cleanly.
Xu, whose head rolled down, still wanted to roar unwillingly and fight back, but the fourth knife came immediately and split his head in two with one knife, completely cutting off his life.
In the textbooks for grades one to four of Bleach, it has been emphasized more than once that some Hollows with special abilities can continue to control their severed limbs to launch sneak attacks on the Bleach even if their limbs or heads are chopped off. Students are also warned to remain vigilant and make timely finishing blows when fighting with Hollows.
However, many Shinigami don't care about the content taught in these cultural courses when they are in school. They care more about how to practice their own Kidō and communicate with their Zanpakutō. They don't care about things that can't directly improve their strength.
Therefore, among the newly graduated students every year, there are always some who are unlucky enough to die due to problems that the textbooks have already warned about, and then become the next case, being written into the textbooks to warn the next batch of students not to be as stupid as them.
Although there are always the same number of idiots in every class, the cases recorded in the textbooks will only be treated as jokes by them after dinner and will not attract any attention at all.
But the Death Girl was obviously not among them. After she cut off Xu's head, she did not relax. After splitting the head in half, she cut off all the limbs of the corpse and fixed them with restraints before she relaxed.
At this time, the Death Girl noticed that a young woman's body was lying a little further away, and not far away, there was a boy who looked to be underage lying on the ground in a mess.
Obviously, the object that stupid Xu was showing off to just now was this poor little guy.
After a moment's thought, the Grim Reaper girl wiped off the blood that had splashed on her face, revealed a kind smile, and walked quickly towards the poor boy.
"Little guy, are you okay? I have killed this monster. You are safe now."
As she spoke, the Death Girl had already walked up to the boy, knelt on one knee, smiled and stretched out her hand to the boy, as if to pull him up.
The next moment, the hand accelerated instantly, pierced through the boy's chest, and crushed the still beating heart inside.
The fact that he was called delicious by Xu and judging by the situation at the scene, he even escaped from Xu's pursuit for a while was enough to prove that the boy could see Xu and hear Xu's voice.
In other words, he must have heard what the Hollow boasted about, "Discovering a useless Shinigami."
To silence someone, you have to do it completely. Although the search team will most likely not ask the living for information when looking for clues, even the smallest hidden danger must be eliminated in advance.
At this moment, the girl of death suddenly noticed something unusual. Although the boy she killed had the normal pain and despair in his eyes, why did he have a confused look, and his gaze did not seem to be focused on her, as if he had no idea who killed him?
[Strange, can't he see the God of Death and the Hollow? ]
Just as doubts arose in the heart of the Death Girl, a horrible roar suddenly erupted from the boy's body, and a thick arm covered with barbs stretched out from the boy's chest and slapped the Death Girl's head heavily, leaving four hideous wounds on her face and knocking her to the ground.
Then, a hideous-looking creature jumped out from the boy's body, uttering a cry of despair and pain.
However, this Hollow was not the product of the boy's transformation, because in her other claw, she was carefully grasping the boy's soul.
Chapter 30: Tears
The Grim Reaper girl, who was attacked unexpectedly, covered her bloody face and crawled up tremblingly. The burning rage made her laugh out loud.
Her blood-red eyes were fixed on the boy's soul in her empty claws. The Grim Reaper girl stretched out a finger, with a hideous arc at the corner of her mouth.
"Breaking Path No. 4, Bai Lei."
Suddenly, a line of pale lightning shot out and shot straight at the boy's forehead. Even though this was only the broken path of No. 4, it was still enough to easily kill him if it fell on an ordinary soul.
The boy, who was screaming in agony, was startled and quickly turned around, holding the boy's soul in his arms, and used his back to withstand the attack, which was not very lethal.
The white thunder of No. 4 landed on Xu's back, leaving only a shallow blood pit. Considering Xu's physique, such a minor injury could be completely ignored.
But before it could breathe a sigh of relief, another white lightning shot out, still targeting the soul of the boy in her arms.
The Death Girl took instant steps, constantly changing her position, and lightning shot out from her fingertips continuously, each time aiming directly at the boy's soul.
Looking at the hollow being using its body as a shield to block the boy's attacks time and time again, and being forced to leave bloody pits on its body, the Grim Reaper's laughter became even louder.
"Hahahaha! Not bad, not bad! Well done! Well done! If I'm not mistaken, you are the woman who died over there!
"It's because the obsession to protect this cute boy was too strong that after death, the soul still hid in his body, helping him avoid the pursuit of the hollow, right?
"Oh my god, this is so touching! With such a deep obsession, it's no wonder that you immediately became invisible when this cute boy died~
"Oh, you didn't do well enough. Look, my white lightning hit the cute boy's legs. You have to protect him well~
"Yes, yes, that's right, you should make full use of your large body to help him resist the attack!
"Oh, yeah, you know what? After Xu gets injured, his desire to eat people becomes stronger and stronger in order to have enough spirit energy to repair his injuries. Look at the little cutie in your hand, don't you think he's getting more and more delicious?
"Come on, come on! Let me see how long your obsession with protecting him can last under your cannibalistic instinct! I can't wait to see you eat him. It must be a very happy feeling to eat the person you want to protect even if you die!"
The crazy laughter became more and more shrill, and Xu's body was already covered with scars, with almost no intact place visible.
During this period, she tried many times to escape with the boy in her arms, but she was just a newborn Hollow and had no ability to break through the pursuit of Shunpo. She could only use her body to crash into the white lightning shot by the Grim Reaper again and again.
Even if the boy protected in her claws cried and begged her to leave him behind and run away, it was of no use. The sound of his crying only made the Death Girl more excited, and she shot white lightning at him at a faster speed.
Gradually, the minor injuries accumulated, making Xu's movements slower and his breathing more disordered. The Death Girl also "considerately" slowed down her attack, smiling and guiding him step by step.
"That's right, that's right. You're hungry, right? Look at the piece of meat in your hand. Isn't it delicious and tempting? Don't hesitate. Eat it. You won't be hungry after eating it."
"What are you still hesitating about? Do you know him? No, no, no, in the moment of fading, you are no longer the same person you used to be. You have long forgotten him. You just have the obsession to protect him, right? Can this pitiful obsession be more important than filling your stomach?"
The red light in the weak Xu's eyes became more and more intense. Finally, driven by her increasingly strong instinct, she suddenly raised her claws and stuffed the tearful boy into her big mouth. She chewed hard for a few times, and red blood flowed from between her teeth.
At this moment, the anger in the heart of the Grim Reaper was finally extinguished. She raised her hand and used the healing magic on herself to heal the wound on her face that was still bleeding. Then, at the moment when the Void tried to escape, she took instant action and chopped off her head with one blow.
"Phew, I feel refreshed. I just vented out all the anger I've accumulated towards the big guy during this period. Not bad, not bad."
With the hideous and ugly head under her feet, the girl of death slapped her cheeks hard, a bright smile appeared on her face again, and she waved to the ground under her feet in a friendly manner.
"Goodbye, little cutie. There's an even cuter guy waiting for me at home, so I won't be with you for long."
As soon as she finished speaking, the Death Girl chopped the head under her feet in half horizontally with a knife, took a step, followed the pure white spiritual vein in her sight, and happily set out on the return journey.
Shortly after the Death Girl left, the head that was split in two suddenly trembled slightly, and a boy with tears of blood and empty eyes slowly crawled out of the Xu's mouth.
The knife that the Death Girl swung before leaving not only cut Xu's head in half, but also cut him in half in the waist. His legs were now left in the other half of the head.
However, the boy who was cut in half seemed to feel no pain. He just held his head with empty eyes, whose tongue had been bitten off by its owner, and murmured inaudibly by others.
The blood-colored tears slid down and merged into the red that covered the boy's entire body, and gradually they could not be distinguished from each other.
In the sea of red, the only spot of white was extremely dazzling. On the boy's chest, on the chain that separated the man and the void, white mucus grew sharp teeth, which were gnawing at the remaining chain at a rapid speed.
Finally, as the boy murmured, the chains completely disappeared, and a dark hole opened up in the center of his collarbone. Pure white liquid spiritual power gushed out, completely enveloping the boy and the two halves of his head that he was holding tightly in his arms, forming a huge cocoon of bones.
After a moment, a crisp cracking sound was heard, and the bone cocoon shattered piece by piece. A bat-like hollow crawled out, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar world with empty eyes. On the pure white mask, two glaring tear marks were like carvings, deeply imprinted under the eyes.
The moment he saw the huge corpse lying beside him, tears unconsciously overflowed from his eyes. The newly born Xu wiped the tears from his mask, his eyes full of confusion. He didn't understand why he was crying.
Mingming, there is an emptiness in my heart, neither despair nor sadness.
Why do I cry?
Mingming, there is no memory in my mind, it is as blank as a piece of white paper.
Why do I feel that the corpse is so familiar?
The newly born Xu didn't know anything. He just spread his wings instinctively, flew high into the sky, and followed the smell of spiritual energy in the air, chasing in a certain direction.
He didn't know what he was chasing or what he would do after catching up, but he just had a gut feeling that he had to catch up.
In that case, let’s catch up and see what happens.
Confusedly, Xu flapped his wings, and between the rise and fall of the bat wings, he always seemed to be able to piece together a vague smiling face.
ps: In the previous episodes of TV, I remember there was a two-headed void, which was formed by the fusion of two dogs' souls. So, there should be no problem for two souls to form a void.
Secondly, speaking of bats and tears, everyone should be able to see that I am writing about Ulquiorra. Although it is not necessary, I will add a setting. The reason why Ulquiorra can perform the Second Stage of Return to Blade is because he is a hollow formed by the fusion of two souls. It will feel a little more comfortable (?).
