Death's Hidden Mobile

The little girl cried, "My mommy, my mommy has been taken away by a monster."

"monster?"

Yoruichi frowned and asked, "What kind of monster?"

The little girl sobbed, "The monster is very big, it has wings, and it can fly."

Oh, I see.

Yoruichi, Natsuhiko, and the others exchanged glances, all sensing something was amiss; this monster was probably a Hollow.

The young man immediately said, "She was knocked unconscious by the monster and didn't see where it went, but we can split up to look for it. There are four of us in total. I'll go to the east, and you can go in the other three directions, okay?"

It turned out that he had stopped them because of a search operation. Upon hearing this, Jiu Nanbai said, "You can't count, can you? There are four of us."

The young man looked at Xia Yan and said, "He's still a child. We can't let a child face that kind of monster."

Hearing this, Yoruichi laughed and asked, "Then what should you do if you encounter a monster? It can fly."

The young man scratched his head and said, "No matter what, we can't just stand by and watch someone die. I plan to find them first."

He seems to be a kind-hearted person.

Yoruichi looked at the three people around him and asked, "How are you? Do you need any help?"

Lisa Yadomaru said, "They were captured by Hollows, so they are very likely already dead."

Jiu Nanbai deeply agreed, and Xia Yan also felt the same way. Putting aside whether they could find it or not, even if they did find it, it would probably be dead.

The young man immediately shouted, "Hey, don't say things like that! As long as there's even the slightest possibility, we can't give up hope!"

"Then let's look for it."

Yoruichi sighed and said, "I'll go east, Kunan Shiro will go west, Yadomaru Lisa will go north, and Natsuhiko, you go..."

The young man immediately patted his chest and said, "Leave this brat to me, I'll protect him."

Xia Yan glanced at him and said softly, "I will follow this big brother."

Yoruichi nodded in relief. With Natsuhiko around, the young man wouldn't be in danger even if he encountered a Hollow.

Yoruichi said, "Then I'll take care of this little girl."

Yoruichi picked up the little girl and ran eastward, while Kunan Shiro and Yadomaru Lisa went west and northward respectively.

As for Xia Yan, he looked at the young man, who smiled and said, "Your name is Xia Yan, right?"

Xia Yan nodded, and the young man immediately said, "My name is Kannonji Minobuo, and this is my first time in Karakura Town."

“Kannonji Miyuki? That name is a bit strange.” Xia Yan knew that another person was also named Kannonji, Tang Kannonji.

It can't be just one person, right?

Kannonji Miyuki said, "Alright kid, let's go south."

Xia Yan nodded and followed Kannonji Miyuki southward, asking, "So, Miyuki, how do you plan to find that monster?"

Mei Xinxiong shouted, "Hey, kid, why are you calling me by my name? I'm older than you, okay? You should at least call me 'brother'!"

Xia Yan sighed. Actually, I'm about ten years older than you.

Xia Yan said helplessly, "Brother Mei Xinxiong, how do you plan to find the monster?"

Mei Xinxiong said smugly, "We can ask other spirits; we can always find one that saw where the monster went."

As he spoke, Mei Xinxiong ran to an elderly spirit not far away and asked, "Grandpa, have you seen a monster?"

"Monster? No, there isn't one." The old spirit shook its head.

Mei Xinxiong scratched his head and said, "I see."

"Let's take another look ahead."

Mei Xinxiong called out to Xia Yan and continued walking forward, asking several people in a row, but receiving no answer. Then Mei Xinxiong found the spirit of a middle-aged woman who was wandering by the roadside and asked, "Auntie, have you seen any monsters?"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged woman thought for a moment and said, "You're looking for a monster? I just saw a monster flying by in the sky, with a person in its claws."

"You saw it?" Mei Xinxiong's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Which direction did it go?"

"To the south, it seems to be near Zanglu Mountain," the middle-aged woman pointed into the distance.

"Thank you, I understand."

After thanking him, Mei Xinxiong excitedly said, "Found it! It's in Canglu Mountain. You're a local, you should know about Canglu Mountain, right?"

Is it really heading in this direction?

Xia Yan nodded, pointed to a tall mountain in the distance, and said, "Of course I know it, it's over there."

But just then, two voices rang out behind them, "How terrifying that man is, he's talking to thin air."

"Yes, he's so tall, yet he talks to himself. He's a monster."

Xia Yan turned around and saw two young women standing not far away, looking at Mei Xinxiong and mocking him.

These two are human; they cannot see Xia Yan or his soul, so they mistakenly believe that Mei Xinxiong is talking to himself.

Mei Xinxiong's actions were indeed strange, but he was trying to help others and running around for the souls he didn't know, yet he was ridiculed. This made Xia Yan feel sorry for Mei Xinxiong, and he couldn't help but say, "How could they say such things?"

Mei Xinxiong patted Xia Yan on the shoulder and said, "It's okay. I can see souls. I'm a monster after all. Besides, I'm used to it."

Mei Xinxiong scratched his head. Although he was used to it, you could tell that his face was somewhat sad.

He must have encountered similar situations many times, but he could only silently endure them.

Xia Yan nodded and said, "Then let's go."

"You'd better not go." Mei Xinxiong's expression turned serious.

Xia Yan suddenly asked, "Why?"

Miyuki said, "It's a flying monster that can attack people. Natsuhiko, you're a child, so you shouldn't go."

Upon hearing this, Xia Yan retorted, "Aren't you afraid?"

Mei Xinxiong said with a smile, "I'm afraid, but I have to go, because I'm a hero."

After saying that, Mei Xinxiong ran alone towards Zanglu Mountain, trying to shake off Xia Yan.

Seeing this, Xia Yan's eyes softened. Although Mei Xinxiong was a reckless person, he was a good person.

"Haha, did you hear that? He's saying he's a hero."

"Looks like he's a lunatic, hahaha."

The two women were still talking when Xia Yan sighed, walked over to them, and suddenly stretched out a finger. With a bang, a flame rose from his finger.

Ordinary spiritual flames are invisible to humans, but when a spiritual flame contains too many spiritual particles, it can make people see the flame briefly.

This is why there are so many eyewitnesses to will-o'-the-wisps.

"What, what is this? Will-o'-the-wisp? But it's daytime."

"How terrifying! There seems to be something in the will-o'-the-wisp... a skull!"

"Ghost!"

The two women turned and ran, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Xia Yan clapped his hands in satisfaction as he watched them leave, then looked at the spot where Mei Xinxiong had disappeared and said, "I can't let you die."

Leaving those words behind, Xia Yan took a step and chased after Mei Xinxiong.

(Tomorrow at 5 AM, the Human World arc will be shorter than the Soul Society arc, but it will also span a longer period of time. Therefore, I will try to describe some plot points at each time span, aiming to depict all the Visoreds, including Yoruichi. I should be able to cross over the first time span by tomorrow.)

Chapter 106: Hero

Xia Yan wasn't very fast. After leaving the warehouse and getting outside, he didn't dare use his spiritual power, so he could only run using his physical strength.

He ran towards Zanglu Mountain, and it took him half an hour to reach the foot of the mountain, but he did not see any trace of Mei Xinxiong.

Wow, that's really fast!

Xia Yan did not search immediately, but quietly sensed the spiritual pressure and found two spiritual pressures on the mountain, one moving and the other stationary halfway up the mountain.

The moving spiritual pressure was heading straight for the spiritual pressure point halfway up the mountain.

If that virtual creature comes to Zanglu Mountain, Mei Xinxiong will definitely encounter it, and he must hurry over there.

Xia Yan thought to himself, and quickly climbed the mountain, using both his hands and feet to ascend.

As Xia Yan approached the mountainside, Mei Xinxiong had already reached the mountainside and encountered the still spiritual pressure.

Damn.

Xia Yan quickened his pace, subtly manipulating the spiritual particles in the air to create a burst point beneath his feet, causing his speed to increase dramatically.

Arrived.

Seven or eight seconds later, Xia Yan arrived near Mei Xinxiong and looked inside.

Mei Xinxiong was standing in front of a cave, holding a wooden stick in his hand. Beside the cave was a winged creature, and next to it was a woman who was barely breathing.

He's not dead yet; although his condition isn't good, he's still alive.

"Hehehe, can you see me? You dare to come here? I might as well keep you here as food," the charlatan said with a laugh.

"Release her immediately!" Mei Xinxiong shouted nervously, gripping a wooden stick in his hand.

"Release her? You stay here too." The phallus flapped its wings and swooped down on Nobuo Miyoshi.

It was slow, and judging by its size, it was a small Hollow, which even students from the True Spirit Arts Academy could handle.

The Fiend's sharp claws reached for Nobuo Mi, who quickly dodged to the side and then struck at the Fiend's body.

"boom."

Miyuki hit the grotesque man on the head with the wooden stick in his hand, but the man was unharmed.

"boom."

It flapped its wings and struck Miyuki. Miyuki braced himself with his hands in front of him, but was still knocked away and fell heavily to the ground.

"Stop resisting, just die."

The void flew towards Miyuki, who propped himself up, his arms hanging limply. He looked at the distance and suddenly stood up and ran into the woods.
