This has always been the atmosphere in Hueco Mundo, and no one would object to it, just like no one would demand that normal people communicate with the air on an equal footing. However, Nel has always been dissatisfied with this situation.

Nello is just innocent, not naive. She can accept necessary hunting when she is hungry, just like a normal person, no matter how loving they are, would not demand to ban coyotes from hunting rabbits and let them starve to death.

But outside of hunting, Nilu hopes that every life will be respected, even the tiny void that is as thin as air.

However, her views were destined to be unacceptable to other great voids. Gradually, she stopped conveying her ideas to others and just restrained herself as always, not allowing herself to despise any life.

But today, right before her eyes, two Yachukas, one of whom was more powerful, possibly the Great Hollow of Vastod, treated a small Hollow as a real life, and even accepted it as a disciple, imparting knowledge to it. A feeling similar to "I am not alone" surged in her heart, making Nilu extremely happy, the happiest she had ever felt in hundreds of years.

Nelue's way of expressing happiness is also very simple. She is very enthusiastic and starts to chat with Nnoitra about daily life. She considerately asks Nnoitra if he can eat enough on weekdays? Is there any confusion during the usual battles? Is there any trouble that is inconvenient to tell the master and wants to confide in her?

The enthusiasm is so intense that it can make people with social anxiety die instantly.

Although Noitra was a little overwhelmed by Nilu's enthusiasm and was a little annoyed by the questions, wondering if "this woman is questioning the relationship between me and Lord Gu Shi", Nilu was, after all, a senior acknowledged by Gu Shi himself. The little mantis, who had been taught by Gu Shi for two months, still answered every question of Nilu honestly.

This made Nilu's enthusiasm even higher.

While Nel's attention was all diverted to Nnoitra, Ulquiorra quietly moved to Gu Shi's side and asked in a low voice.

"Gu Shi, aren't you going to invite her?"

Not only Jiro, but Ulquiorra also realized from Gu Shi's introduction that he didn't seem to intend to become friends with Nel, which made Ulquiorra a little confused.

He could see that this man with a particularly long name, Yachukas, had extremely profound accumulations. Perhaps it wouldn't be long before he could evolve into Vastrod. Wouldn't it be more efficient to invite such a strong man to go to the universe than to cultivate a small virtual like Nnoitra from scratch?

Moreover, it seems that Ni Lu has a good impression of Gu Shi.

Gu Shi's eyes fluctuated, and he also answered in a low voice.

"Ur, Nilu is a good person."

This answer made Ulquiorra even more confused. What is a "good person"? Can a Hollow be a "good person"? Shouldn't this be the furthest word from a Hollow?

"I'm not wrong. Nilu is really a good person. Apart from hunting, she will not kill easily. Even if someone offends or insults her, she will at most punish them and will not take their life."

Gu Shi's whispered explanation made Ulquiorra, who was usually calm, widen his eyes a little. He couldn't help but ask Gu Shi, "Are you sure you are talking about the Hollow?" Let alone the Hollows that have defects in their minds due to the Hollowization, even a living person with a complete mind could not do this, right?

unless……

When this Nilu turned into a hollow, what she lost were emotions like cruelty and coldness?

However, if this is the case, it is no wonder that Gu Shi was unwilling to invite Ni Lu.

Tianpeng consumes a large amount of Killian as material every day when he makes elixirs and conducts experiments. Erlang also dissects Killian from time to time when he studies martial arts, or does experiments on Killian. Even Gu Shi himself doesn't really value life that much. He just doesn't want to eat humans, but he doesn't have much aversion to killing.

This group of people and this Nilu have fundamental differences in concepts. If they really become friends, it will probably be a mutual torture.

At this time, Noitra, who was a little overwhelmed by Nilu's concern, finally couldn't help interrupting Nilu's speech and asked a question for the first time.

"Senior Nilu, why are you here? There shouldn't be much food around here for Yachukas, right?"

Nnoitra just casually asked a question with the purpose of interrupting Nilu. He actually had no idea whether there was enough food around.

However, his nonsense happened to be in line with reality. There were indeed no Hollows around that could serve as food for Achukas, and Nel's answer happened to confirm Gu Shi's explanation to Ulquiorra.

She said so.

"The territory of Bylergan is a long way ahead. He is a very powerful Vastod. All the Yachukas who enter his perception range must either offer a part of their mask and cut off their evolutionary potential to become his subordinates, or they will be killed by him.

“I have been active in this area recently to warn the Yachucas who are near here to avoid this dangerous area.”

Ulquiorra couldn't help but nod slightly at this answer.

That’s right, this is indeed a “good guy” that should not exist in the Great Void, an absolutely rare species.

Seeing that Ulquiorra seemed to approve of Nel, Gu Shi couldn't help but shook his head, poked Ulquiorra lightly with his elbow, and whispered.

"Ur, you are also a Vastod. Do you think that if you rush in and defeat the Vastod called Bylergan and intend to wipe out the roots, will Nilu persuade you to spare his life?"

...This is impossible, right? Didn't Nilu already decide that Bylergan was a "bad guy"? Would she still plead for a "bad guy"?

Gu Shi saw through Ulquiorra's thoughts at a glance and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Isn't the big Hollow in Hueco Mundo a bad guy?"

Those who can evolve into hollows are either lunatics or paranoids, and each of them is a standard bad guy. But didn't Nilu still forgive those bad guys who offended her?

A kind person is kind to everyone, and a gentle person is gentle to everyone, even if that person is a bad person.

Chapter 195 Angel Mirror

When Ulquiorra spoke to Gu Shi, Jiro also quietly came over and eavesdropped on their conversation. He tilted his head and thought for a while, then blinked and spoke hesitantly.

"Gu Shi, I'm not human, so I don't really know what the human nature you've been talking about is. If I'm wrong, just treat it as nonsense. According to my understanding, human nature should be the characteristics that distinguish humans from other animals, right?

"Then, sympathizing with others, giving them a chance to start over even when you can and have reason to kill them, isn't that human nature? In the dog pack I used to live with, not a single dog would feel sympathy for their prey, let alone give them a chance to start over after catching them."

Under Erlang's puzzled gaze, Gu Shi thought for a while and had to nod, admitting that Erlang was right. In a narrow sense, human nature is indeed the thoughts and decisions that people make based on rational thinking and moral requirements, which are different from those of animals.

Of course, if we want to talk about it in a broader sense and from a philosophical perspective, human nature can also be a debate about whether human nature is good or evil, whether human nature is naturally selfish or lazy.

However, these have nothing to do with the humanity that Gu Shi wants to maintain. What Gu Shi wants to keep is just the "humanity" that can prevent him from completely turning into a man-eating monster. He is not interested in retaining those bad things that come from his genes after losing his physical body.

Seeing Gu Shi nod, Erlang was obviously encouraged and became more confident, and quickly continued.

"Since this is human nature, then isn't what Nilu did perfectly in line with human nature? Gu Shi, why do you reject her just because she has human nature? Is human nature exclusive? Just like territorial awareness, if you have human nature, you can't tolerate other people around you having human nature?"

Erlang's question stunned Gu Shiwen. He quickly checked his heart to confirm whether he had unknowingly made a major shift towards the direction of emptiness, which was why he was so repulsed by the human-like Nilu.

After a thorough examination, Gu Shi did not find anything unusual in himself. He seemed to have always been like this, a little kind, but never a good person in the strict sense. It didn't seem strange that he rejected the company of truly good people?

After thinking for a while, Gu Shi did not accept the answer immediately, but closed his eyes and sank his consciousness into his own spiritual world.

Sensing Gu Shi's arrival, his Zanpakuto wooden doll and tin doll both came out. Gu Shi simply greeted them, slapped away the tin doll that wanted to badmouth him, and after waiting patiently for a moment, the glass doll representing his "great hollow nature" also crawled out of the air.

Gu Shi still remembered that the last time they met, the glass doll was covered with cracks and looked like it could shatter completely at any time. This time, although it was not obvious, after careful observation, Gu Shi was still able to confirm that two tiny cracks on the glass doll had indeed disappeared.

In other words, the nature of the Great Void did rise slightly.

Tsk, I really can't relax at all.

He decisively exited the spiritual world, rubbed Jilang's head hard, praised him softly, "Well done", then turned his head to look at Nilu and shouted loudly.

"Nilu, would you like to try to act with us for a while?"

Nilu, who was teaching Noitra "how to stay calm when being scolded, and then scold back politely", couldn't help but widen her eyes in surprise when she heard this.

Seeing the surprise in Nilu's eyes, Gu Shi secretly punched himself in his heart.

Nilu was so surprised by his invitation. It was obvious that she had already understood the rejection hidden in his words, but she pretended not to understand in order not to embarrass him.

Looking into those eyes that were as pure as a child's, Gu Shi swallowed the excuse he had just made up in three seconds and decided to tell Ni Lu his thoughts honestly. He strode up to Ni Lu and spoke seriously.

"I'm sorry for what happened before, Nilu. Just now, after my friend reminded me, I noticed that I was gradually becoming a pure Hollow, the kind of Hollow that abandons humanity and regards life as dust.

"I don't want to become like that, but the problem is that the Great Hollow's instincts erode human nature silently. I have always been vigilant, but my mind and cognition have shifted unconsciously.

"So, I need a mirror, a mirror that is always full of humanity to remind me of the loss of humanity. I think you, Nilu, will be a very good mirror, so I extend an invitation to you."

At this point, Gu Shi paused and observed Ni Lu's reaction. After all, although his explanation was honest enough, it was undeniable that his invitation was a completely selfish invitation that only considered his own needs.

If Ni Lu got angry about this and hit him on the spot or spit a spit at him, Gu Shi thought it was completely understandable.

However, there was no sign of joy or anger on Ni Lu's face. She just looked at Gu Shi quietly and listened to what he said seriously.

After hesitating for a moment, Gu Shi could only grit his teeth and continue speaking.

"Although I invited you to be my mirror, it is difficult for me to do everything according to your ideas. Because, you are a real good person, but I am not. For example, I will not give up on eradicating the enemy or hunting when conducting research."

At this point, Gu Shi himself felt that what he said was totally unreasonable, and he wanted to stop talking awkwardly, but Nilu was still listening attentively, with seriousness written all over her big eyes. He didn't want to give up halfway, so he could only force himself to continue talking.

"What I think is that as long as we become friends, then even if we have some minor disagreements on a daily basis, we can still discuss them and always find a solution that satisfies both parties. But if one day, I do something that you cannot accept at all, and you are not even willing to persuade me, and just want to leave me, or even kill me directly, then I must have lost a lot of my humanity, and I need to quickly reflect on myself and find a way to restore my humanity."

Finally, after taking out all his selfish thoughts and exposing them to the sun, Gu Shi felt exhausted. He took a deep breath, and sat down on the sand, waiting for Ni Lu's "judgment" of him.

Seeing that Gu Shi had finished speaking, Ni Lu blinked her big watery eyes and commented on his speech.

"Gu Shi, you...are so amazing."

Ok?

Gu Shi looked up in confusion. Jiro and Ulquiorra beside him couldn't help but look sideways. When Gu Shi confessed just now, they, as Gu Shi's friends, felt embarrassed for Gu Shi when they were listening beside him. Shouldn't Nel despise and scold Gu Shi? What kind of evaluation is "very good"?

Being stared at by everyone, Nilu tilted her head in confusion.

"Am I wrong? Gu Shi, didn't you immediately start trying to find a way to stop yourself from becoming a bad person after realizing that you might become a bad person? I've seen many Daxu who know they are bad people but don't plan to change. Gu Shi, aren't you amazing?"

Isn't this just a comparison of the worst? It's all thanks to the peers in Hueco Mundo.

After complaining a little in his heart, Gu Shi continued to ask.

"What about you? I want to use you, Nilu. Aren't you angry?"

Gu Shi, who asked the question, was confused, and Ni Lu, who was asked, was even more confused.

"I can help a Hollow who might turn bad to be a good person. Isn't this a very fulfilling and happy thing? What's there to be angry about?"

"Nilu, are you an angel?"

"Hmm? I'm Daxu."

"No, no, no, you are definitely an angel."

"Ah! Here comes our first disagreement! I think it is very rude to change someone's race at will and not follow their wishes. What do you think, Gu Shi? Do you want to debate? Let's see who can convince the other?"

"No, no, no, Nilu, you win. I think so too."

Gu Shi sincerely acknowledged Ni Lu's victory and sent her congratulations on her first victory. Looking at the other party's bright smiling face, he hesitated for a moment before confirming in a low voice.

"Then, Nilu, starting today, we..."

"We are now partners in this endeavor! Please give us your guidance, Gu Shi, and everyone else!"

So, the antelope's hoof and the mantis's sickle were held together.

Chapter 196 Plant-shaped Great Void! ?

The joining of Nilu brought some human insurance to Gu Shi, but the person who was most affected by the joining of Nilu was not Gu Shi, but the poor, weak, only junior, Noitra, who was loved by the elders.

Although theoretically, Hollows, like Grim Reapers, still have the ability to reproduce even if they are souls, the relationship between Hollows has always been one of eating and being eaten, hunting and being hunted, and no two Hollows have ever reproduced in harmony and friendship.

Therefore, in the relationship between the virtual and the virtual, there has never been the "parent-child relationship" that should exist in theory. In this regard, even the senior Achukas, Nilu, who has lived for hundreds of years, is no exception.

It is also because of this that, with the emergence of a younger generation like Nnoitra, Nilu, who is kind-hearted by nature, as an elder, seems to have suddenly ignited the maternal instinct that has not been expressed for hundreds of years, and she is very caring towards Nnoitra.
