There are more and more people in Eternal Silence settlement
Starting from the bifurcation of the stream and extending along both banks, the number of newly built houses has changed from a dozen to thirty, and from thirty to fifty.
Crooked mud walls and thatched roofs are mixed with gradually decent wooden beams and tiles. New and old, good and bad, residential and debris, are densely packed on both sides of the stream. From a height, it looks like a pile of stones casually scattered by the river. There is no plan or order, but each stone has its own place.
The large number of people brings many problems.
There are problems with eating, drinking water, getting sick, fighting for territory, and quarrels and fights.
There used to be more than forty people working on these problems, but Wuran could barely cope with them alone.
Now it has doubled countless times. He is busy from morning to night every day, like a top that has been whipped too fast, spinning faster and faster, almost unsteady.
Some people steal other people's clothes hanging outside, some people occupy the open space in front of other people's houses and grow vegetables, some people wash clothes in the upper reaches of the stream, causing people downstream to drink water that smells like soap, some people get drunk and sing loudly at night, and some people don't want to sing but are so noisy that they can't sleep and join the quarrel.
Wuran was running back and forth between these issues. Just after mediating the dispute in the east, fighting started again in the west. Just as the fighting parties in the west were suppressed, someone from the south said that the roof collapsed due to people from the north.
The man with a broken arm found Wuran one evening.
He stood in front of Wuran and handed over a wrinkled list with his only hand. There were some names written on the list, and behind each name was a description of what the person was good at.
"That's what I took care of," said the man with the broken arm.
"These people are willing to help take care of it, but you can't do it alone."
Wuran took the list and read it slowly under the dim light. Those who manage supplies, mediate disputes, patrol, and look after children.
Every matter is assigned a suitable person to assist in management.
The man with a broken arm said softly to Wuran: "You are too tired."
"Wuran folded the list and put it in his arms: "I will arrange the affairs of these people, and you can help me take care of other things."
The man with the broken arm nodded.
When Shen Du was called to the stream by Wuran, the moon just emerged from behind the clouds
"Shen Du, you are in charge of those who can hold a knife. You are the strongest here, and they obey you." Wuran said to him softly, with a tired tone.
"How do you care?" Shen Du looked at Wuran, Shen Du knew that he was very tired
"... use your fists" Wuran was silent for a long time before Kangkang said it
Shen Du looked at Wuran, slightly shocked, and then said one word
"Okay:
There are more people, and there are more people with spiritual power. This is inevitable. Among the wandering souls of Rukongai, the distribution of spiritual power is irregular.
Some families have had no spiritual power for generations, and some families have a child with extremely strong spiritual power. Eternal Silence There are hundreds of people gathered in the settlement. According to the probability, there will be a few people with strong spiritual power. This is indeed the case. Over the years, some children have gradually revealed Reiatsu
Wuran noticed this situation, but didn't pay much attention to it. Rukongai There were many people with psychic powers, and it was not a rare thing, until that evening
The sky cracked
Garganta
Wuran He is running, he is running from one side of the settlement to the other
"Let's go! Let's all go! Don't stay here!"
Garganta is expanding, and the terrifying Reiatsu makes Eternal Silence shake
Eternal Silence The hundreds of souls and the rich spiritual power in the settlement are like a big meal on the table to Xu
The virtual Reiatsu made some souls who had experienced virtuality immediately become stressed and began to run away desperately. Some souls did not know why but were led away by some similar souls. Most of the armed souls who joined the settlement also began to run away because the virtual Reiatsu that appeared was too strong and they were afraid
Shen Du stood in the center of the settlement, holding Asauchi in his hand, facing Garganta, and Wuran stood a few steps behind him, also facing Garganta
The virtual swarm followed Gillian and poured out of Garganta, not just one or two, but dozens, hundreds, hundreds. Ordinary Hollow, Steel-Skinned Hollow, Carapace Hollow, were densely packed together, like black tide pouring down from the cracks, and immediately spread to the surroundings after landing.
Gillian's Cero plowed the earth.
The sea of voids is endless, Shen Du has never seen so many voids, but he did not retreat, he wanted to protect his settlement, Wuran did the same
Blood Heaven Asura
When Shen Du could no longer rely on Zanpakutō Shikai to kill these virtual swords, he finally discovered Blood Heaven Asura's ability: to absorb the Reiatsu of the injured and use it for himself until the target was killed.
So the more Hollows he cut and wounded, the more Reiatsu he plundered, and his combat effectiveness became stronger and stronger. Until later, except for that Gillian, no matter what Hollows he had, he would cut them one by one.
However, there are only two of them. The armed souls of the Shandong people who cannot escape in actual combat will occasionally kill a few virtual ones on the way to escape, but only a few.
Wuran, he is also killing, but there are too many virtual ones. After killing one, two will come, and after killing two, four will come. His physical strength is decreasing, Reiatsu is decreasing, but the number of virtuals has not decreased.
Wuran collapsed on the ground exhausted, the wounds on his body bleeding
"Stand up"
"Stand up"
Wuran keeps urging his body, but it just doesn't move
But Xu doesn't care so much
"Wuran!" Shen Du was entangled by a large number of voids, and he could only roar in despair.
"Delivering the World from Ignorance, the Emperor Pardons Heaven"
Golden lotuses gather around Wuran, with golden petals layered on top of each other.
"Boom!"
The virtual attack hit a light golden translucent barrier, and at the same time, the wounds on Wuran were quickly healed
Even so, so what?
But what a coincidence, a golden Reiatsu fell from the sky
The golden Reiatsu hit Gillian, and the head of Gillian, which was walking towards the group of souls, was cut open by something. The mask was split in half from the center.
Golden Reiatsu falls near the Eternal Silence settlement
It was a young man holding Zanpakutō in his hand. The blade was full of gaps, large and small, as if it had been chewed by something. The young man's hair was black, combed into a hedgehog-style back, and each hair stood up backwards, as if it had been blown by the wind that never stopped.
His eyes were wide open and his smile was weird
He looked at the virtual group, and his weird smile became even brighter. He didn't wait, holding the Zanpakutō that was full of holes, and rushed into the virtual group.
He killed Xu very quickly, and Xu Qun was killed before he could fully react...
Wuran, who was exhausted, walked towards the young man. Shen Du also walked over from the other side. Wuran spoke first, "Thank you for your help. I would like to ask you about your name."
The young man looked at him calmly, "I don't have a name, just call me Zaraki."
Shen Du spoke, "Zaraki, are you interested in joining us?"
Before Shen Du finished speaking, Zaraki turned his head and looked at him. His expression seemed to be confirming something, and then he highlighted four words.
"You are too weak"
Shen Du's lips moved but no words came out.
Zaraki didn't wait for him to speak, and walked away carrying Zanpakutō
