Chapter 179 Soul Society
I don't know how long it took, but Natsume slowly regained consciousness. The familiar feeling made the first thought that came to his mind was -
could he be reborn again?
It's not surprising that Natsume has such thoughts. He knew how badly he was injured. He activated the forbidden curse without treatment. Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for him to survive unless he was reborn as Natsume like before. Takashi's situation.
I wouldn't be so lucky to be reborn twice in a row, right?
Then Natsume soon learned that although his RP was indeed not good enough to be reborn twice in a row, in a certain situation he was almost alive.
"Are you new here?"
When Natsume opened his eyes, a voice sounded in his ears.
Putting aside his doubts about the current situation and worries about Sesshomaru, Natsume decided to remain calm for the time being and clarify the situation.
Looking in the direction of the sound, the figure that suddenly came into view almost made Natsume look shocked.
Fortunately, Natsume has been through a lot and has a good ability to control his emotions. He suppressed the shock in his heart without showing it on the surface.
"New here? What do you mean?"
Natsume made a panicked look:
"Am I dead? Is there going to be Sesshomaru? How is Sesshomaru?"
The half-truth and half-false words and the facial expression that were so fake made the person just now The person who spoke didn't have the slightest suspicion. Of course, it might be because that person was too young, so his mind wasn't particularly mature yet.
"This is Soul Society. You are indeed dead. You are in the state of your soul now." The young man's voice was cold and emotionless, but Natsume was relieved that he was not left alone. He was not a stranger in this place. Strange, that is to say, in a place that is both familiar and unfamiliar, it is good to have someone you “know”.
Although the other party didn't know Natsume at all.
"Where is Soul Society? What's the state of the soul?"
Natsume pretended to be shocked and looked at the boy with silver hair and red eyes standing in front of him.
The clothes on the young man's body were very shabby, and his face was not very good, but the look in his eyes was very energetic, and there was no trace of numbness or sorrow caused by the bad environment he was in.
Yes, the reason why Natsume was so shocked when he opened his eyes was because he recognized that the person talking to him was actually Ichimaru Gin! Gin Ichimaru in his teenage years!
How could Natsume not be shocked by the sudden sight of Death? Especially Gin Ichimaru, who was clearly in the wrong era.
In fact, the moment Natsume saw Ichimaru Gin, he had roughly guessed that he was not reborn this time, but had come to Soul Society.
Originally, it was normal for a person's soul to go to Soul Society after death, but Natsume knew that his situation was abnormal.
The era he really should exist in is the modern era. According to the development of the plot, the current Ichimaru Gin is still the majestic captain of the third division.
And when he died, he was in the Warring States Period five hundred years ago. At that time, there was no Ichimaru Gin!
So what is going on with the Gin Ichimaru who is clearly in his teenage years in front of him now?
If he were not in the Soul Society during the Warring States Period, then even if he ran to the present world, he would not be able to see Sesshomaru!
All Natsume could think about was Sesshomaru's appearance after his arm was broken off. He was more worried about Sesshomaru than his own current situation.
Unfortunately, it is useless no matter how anxious Natsume is. All he can do now is to deal with his own affairs and then find a way to go back to find Sesshomaru.
After all, compared to real death, the current situation is countless times better than Natsume imagined.
You know, what Natsume used at that time was time and space magic. Originally, he just wanted to transport his "corpse" to a place where Sesshomaru could not find it. Who knows that now he can't even find his "corpse"!
——I
don’t know if it’s because Natsume didn’t have any abnormal reaction when he saw Ichimaru Gin’s red eyes, so Ichimaru Gin had a pretty good impression of Natsume, so this boy who is not considered kind-hearted actually gave Natsume a little explanation. He took a look at Soul Society and explained the situation where they were now.
Then Natsume knew that his luck was not good. The place he fell into was not the peaceful and wealthy areas at the front of Rukongai, but the poor and dangerous area at the back.
Ichimaru Gin didn't say exactly how many wards it was, but looking at Ichimaru Gin's pale and weak look, I knew it was definitely not a good place.
And now Ichimaru Gin seems to be still alone, which means that he has not met Matsumoto Rangiku yet. Natsume can probably calculate how many years he is away from his real era.
——What a long distance! The safest way is to live peacefully until that time, and then find a way to return to the present world, and then go through the bone-eating well to find Sesshomaru.
But that also has its drawbacks. Who knows if we will encounter the same Sesshomaru again?
Or can we pass through the bone-eating well in the form of a god of death or a soul?
Natsume rubbed his swollen forehead and felt that he should take it step by step. Maybe he could find a way to go back to the time when he left the Warring States Period?
The technology here in Soul Society is also very advanced! A certain shady boss is quite talented.
So the first problem is to become a Shinigami and then enter the twelfth division!
Not to mention what Natsume was thinking, Ichimaru Gin was surprised when he saw that Natsume was silent and had no other reaction after hearing his words.
This was not the first time for Ichimaru Gin to see a soul that came to Soul Society after death, but it was the first time for him to be so calm at Natsume's age.
Looking at Natsume, who unconsciously exuded a special temperament even in deep thought, Ichimaru Gin's eyes flashed, feeling that this young man's identity must not be simple when he was alive, so he made some kind of decision in his heart.
——Natsume
doesn’t know what Ichimaru Gin thinks. Anyway, him not leaving is exactly what Natsume needs.
Because time and space, and even the body itself, had changed, Natsume had no idea how much time had passed since his death. Anyway, after listening to Ichimaru Gin's words and already having some plans for the future, he Suddenly I felt hungry.
Natsume didn't speak, but his brows furrowed slightly -
he was a new arrival, and he didn't know whether the spell was effective in the state of his soul. Finding food was really a problem!
Haven't you seen that Ichimaru Gin to looks skin and bones?
Chapter 180 Clothes
Although Natsume's movement was very small, it was still noticed by the keen Ichimaru Gin. His heart moved slightly, and he suddenly had some guess: "Are you hungry?" Ichimaru Gin asked seemingly calmly, but in his eyes The flash of light was still noticed by Natsume.
——Ichimaru Gin definitely doesn’t know what it actually means for the soul to feel hungry. He knows it clearly, right?
Of course, Natsume would not stupidly say, "I know everything." Instead, he would make a slightly dazed look and nod, "Yes." Then, Natsume would make a puzzled look at the right time: "There is still life after
death
.
Can you feel hungry? So besides living in another world, what is the difference between death and living?" For
this very simple question, Ichimaru Gin had no way to answer, because he had been living in the corpse soul since he could remember it. World, for Ichimaru Gin, he has no idea what the current world is like, nor does he know the essential difference between living in the two worlds.
So Ichimaru Gin naturally avoided Natsume's question, took out a persimmon from his pocket and handed it to Natsume: "I only have
this, eat it."
For a hungry person, a persimmon cannot solve the problem at all, but Ichimaru From the serious look on Gin's face when he took out the persimmon, you could tell that either Ichimaru Gin's only food was this persimmon, or he liked persimmons very much.
Natsume guessed that maybe it was both.
"Thank you."
Knowing how precious this persimmon was to Ichimaru Gin, Natsume did not dislike it, but took it seriously and ate it carefully.
Natsume's serious attitude obviously pleased Ichimaru Gin, and it could be seen from his narrowed eyes that he was in a good mood.
Although he had just lost his favorite and only remaining food.
Then naturally, Natsume began to act together with Ichimaru Gin. Ichimaru Gin did not express welcome or say rejection, and just acquiesced.
In the next few days, Natsume learned more about Soul Society, especially the Rukongai where they lived, and how rare food was.
The land in this district is very barren, and there are very few crops that can be grown. In order to snatch food, the residents all implement the policy of the strong being king. Whoever grabs something belongs to them. There are few people who can chat peacefully, so Natsume is very happy. The person he met was Gin Ichimaru. If it were other residents, he might have completely disappeared from this world before he even opened his eyes.
After all, one less competitor means one more chance of getting food. There are not many kind-hearted people in Rukongai, including Gin Ichimaru, so Natsume is really lucky to be alive.
Natsume has only been in Rukongai for three days, and already no less than five groups of people have come to rob him and Ichimaru Gin. Natsume guesses that this has something to do with the expensive clothes on his body. After all, this place is not among the top ones. In this district, everyone wears ordinary cotton clothes, and some residents even do not have complete clothes.
For example, Natsume's outfit looks very luxurious at first glance, and it clearly exudes the aura of "I'm rich, come and rob me".
After realizing this problem, Natsume smiled bitterly for a while, but did not get rid of the eye-catching clothes on her body.
You must know that Sesshomaru spent a lot of time on Natsume's clothes, specifically looking for precious furs and furs. For this set of clothes, Sesshomaru even drove Natsume back to modern times.
You know, Sesshomaru really doesn't like to be separated from Natsume.
The clothes were what Sesshomaru asked Natsume to change into when he first arrived in the Warring States Period. Even now, Natsume can't forget the look on his lips when he took off the clothes Tomoe had prepared and put on the clothes Sesshomaru brought. A smile that cannot be concealed.
Sesshomaru rarely smiled, so every smile he smiled was enough for Natsume to remember and cherish.
This can be said to be the only proof that Natsume once lived in that world, and Natsume doesn't want to lose it.
——Speaking
of which, although the style and materials seem to be exactly the same as my previous clothes, I now understand in my heart that this dress is not the one Sesshomaru gave me.
I'm afraid that the real clothes are currently being worn on my body, and I don't know where they are in the world!
It's just because after the soul arrives in Soul Society, the clothes on its body are the same as before death, that's why this copycat version appears.
Moreover, he only had one set of clothes, and nothing else on his body was even a knockoff, so even if it was a knockoff, Natsume cherished it very much.
It's a pity that outsiders don't understand how much Natsume attaches importance to his clothes, or even if they do, they don't take it seriously. After all, he is just a soul who has just arrived in Soul Society. Even if he is not a complete man without spiritual power, He didn't show too much power, so becoming the target of certain souls became a normal thing.
After all, even if beautiful and comfortable clothes are not as useful as food that can fill your stomach, but they can be more comfortable and look better, who would say no to them?
On this day, Natsume and Ichimaru Gin were walking on the road looking for food. Five figures suddenly appeared in front of them, blocking their way rudely.
"Yeah, yeah, another group is here to rob."
Ichimaru Gin yawned, his leisurely look didn't look like he was being robbed at all, and those who didn't know better thought they were the robbers!
It's really no wonder that Ichimaru Gin is so nervous. After all, whoever it is, he can't be afraid of things that happen around him every day.
In particular, Ichimaru Gin is quite courageous. He even did something to plot against Aizen, let alone just encounter a few robbers.
——
"Stretch your hands and feet, Natsume!"
Gin Ichimaru said to Natsume.
"It's really annoying to be like this every day!"
Natsume's face also showed more boredom than fear, or there was no fear at all.
The reaction of the two people made the robbers very angry. They had never seen such an uncooperative robbery target!
Then one of the souls in blue clothes yelled at Natsume:
"A mere newcomer dares to look down on our brothers. Originally, I just wanted to take off your clothes. Now you have to keep your life too !"
"Clothes?"
Natsume's expression suddenly became very strange. He looked at the talking soul and asked word by word, as if his ears suddenly failed: "You want my clothes?"
