As everyone knew.
The vast majority of soul residents in Rukongai did not need solid food. They could survive simply by absorbing the reishi in the air and a certain amount of water.
Of course, that only applied to souls without Spiritual Power.
Any soul with a certain amount of Spiritual Power could not sustain itself on the reishi in the atmosphere alone. Not only would they go hungry from lack of food, but in severe cases, they could even die from it.
For commoners who had already become Soul Reapers, food was even more indispensable.
The same was true of Hueco Mundo.
Weak animal Hollows could survive on the reishi in the atmosphere, meeting their daily needs.
But ordinary Hollows and Menos had to devour their own kind.
Other than Hollows, there was no food of any kind in Hueco Mundo. Even the white sand that blanketed every corner was actually formed from weathered Hollow corpses.
This was the world of Hollows.
As a genius scientist in the field of human-body research, Seinosuke Yamada noticed Ashido Kanō's abnormality at once.
How could an ordinary Soul Reaper nearly enter Hollowfication because of a slight emotional fluctuation?
If it were truly so dangerous, why would the Five Great Noble Clans permit the existence of the Gotei 13?
For a Soul Reaper to undergo Hollowfication, the most basic requirement was to implant a Hollow's soul into their own, thereby destroying the boundary of the soul.
Without Hollow power, Hollowfication was simply impossible.
At this point, the answer was already obvious.
Under Seinosuke Yamada's serious, intent gaze, Ashido Kanō's lips moved hesitantly before he said, "Hollow corpses..."
The moment those words fell, Tsunayashiro Su Feng, Azashiro Soya, and Hanataro Yamada were all stunned, staring at the red-haired figure ahead with astonishment.
