In Soul Society, I just want to retire

But what should I do next? Is it all I can do to wait here? Why haven't the enemies captured me yet?

All this is unknown.

......

Aizen was patrolling the 28th district in the south at this time. It was already late at night, and Aizen stayed overnight at a farmer's house. The farmer couple was very welcoming.

While half asleep and half awake, the voice of Yamabuki Detang came from Aizen's Hell Butterfly.

"Hmm? Teacher? Is there something you want to tell me so late?" Aizen woke up immediately.

"The situation is somewhat unusual. Fifteen Shinigami have gone missing deep in the mountains of District 28. We suspect a powerful enemy may have emerged. We should immediately provide support," said Yamabuki Ditang. "The enemy's ability appears to be able to induce a deep sleep. Furthermore, they won't be very strong in direct confrontation, so be careful."

Aizen didn't expect such a thing to happen.

Without any hesitation, he immediately joined the battle.

I have been looking for an opponent that suits me, and this patrol mission is really boring.

How could I miss out on such a good opportunity?

"Teacher, please rest assured, I will go to support you right away." Aizen picked up his Zanpakuto and headed for the mountains as fast as possible.

Qianchun Lihua was not idle at this time either.

Although Yamabuki Ditang was on standby, there were eleven people who came out with her. If she went back alone, how would she face her companions in the future?

Even if it costs me my life, I will make sure my companions return safely.

Chiharu Reika closed her eyes and felt the spiritual pressure of the team members.

Everyone's perception of spiritual pressure is different.

This thing has nothing to do with the strength of one's own spiritual pressure.

For example, Kenpachi Zaraki is powerful enough, but his perception of spiritual pressure is almost zero. That is to say, unless the enemy appears in his field of vision, he has no ability to pursue the enemy.

Mayuri Kurotsuchi once complained about Kenpachi Zaraki: "He is clearly a beast, but he has lost the most important ability of a beast."

The reason why Kurotsuchi Mayuri complained was very simple.

Kenpachi Zaraki rushed in recklessly and ended up destroying the 12th Division...

Chiharu Rika had some perception of spiritual pressure. Although she couldn't determine the exact location, she could feel the general direction. She rushed in that direction with the determination to die.

No matter what, she had to call her companions back.

I don’t know how long I walked, but the originally dark forest suddenly became bright and bright moonlight shone down from the sky.

This is a huge open space. Through the faint moonlight, you can see many thin spider silks around it.

And directly above it was an extremely huge spider web, which almost covered the entire open space.

Those missing reapers were wrapped in spider webs like big dumplings.

And in the very center of the spider web is a huge spider, no, it should be a spider-type virtual thing.

It is over five meters in diameter, has more than a dozen legs, and has a human face on its abdomen, with a silkworm-white bone mask on its face.

"The only one who escaped the net is here!" Xu let out a shrill laugh.

These Shinigami all have very weak spiritual pressure fluctuations, which means they are not dead yet.

Spiders have the ability to store food, and it is thanks to this ability that these dead gods are still alive.

Just as Chiharu Rika was about to rush forward with the knife, Xu suddenly stretched out his sharp front legs and pressed them against the forehead of a Grim Reaper.

"If you dare take another step forward, I'll pierce his head."

Qianchun Lihua's progress came to an abrupt halt.

This Xu actually takes hostages?

"What do you want?" Qian Chunlihua asked coldly.

"I don't like fighting and killing. I like to have fun. How about we play a game?" Spider Xu used his sharp front legs to play with the cheeks of the Grim Reapers.

"What game do you want to play?" Qian Chunlihua saw that the life and death of her teammates depended on the enemy's thoughts, so she naturally did not dare to act rashly.

"I was a gambler when I was alive. How about we make a bet? Let's bet on these two people's lives!" Xu pointed at the heads of the two death gods: "If you lose, you cut off your right hand. If you win, I will return them to you. One hand for two lives, worth it, right?"

Chapter 41: Big Gamble

"Gambling?" Qian Chunlihua felt a little unsure. She had never gambled before. Her teammates liked to play, but she had never participated.

Qianchun Lihua believes that gambling is meaningless and can only bring temporary happiness. It is better to use this time to practice swordsmanship and improve one's strength.

But she had no say in the current situation, so she could only grit her teeth and go ahead: "How do you want to play?"

Xu's face revealed a sly grin, a look of triumph. "My rules are simple. I roll the dice, and you guess the size. If you guess right, you win, and if you guess wrong, I win. Simple, right? A dice has six sides. One, two, and three are small, and four, five, and six are big. How about it? Do you want to gamble the lives of two teammates with your own hands?"

"Okay, I'll bet with you." Qian Chunlihua agreed without thinking. Qian Chunlihua found that all the Grim Reapers who had disappeared before were also here.

"Funny! I like people who are frank! Come on!" Xu spat out two dice from his mouth and asked vaguely: "Do you want to buy big or small?"

Qian Chunlihua knew nothing about gambling, so she could only grit her teeth and casually say, "I bet on big!"

"Okay, let's witness the moment of miracle together!" Xu spit the dice in the air into the sky. Under the reflection of the faint light, the two people watched the dice rolling from the sky to the ground.

Qian Chunlihua's palms were full of cold sweat, and she kept praying in her heart. She was not afraid that her right hand would be cut off, but she was afraid that she would not be able to rescue the team members.

Both of their eyes were drawn to the dice on the ground. The air became tense, and a smile appeared on Xu's face.

"It's actually big! You're so lucky, little girl!" Xu didn't get frustrated at all because of his loss. Instead, he dropped the two team members who were hanging on the spider silk.

These team members were in a semi-comatose state. Qian Chunlihua hurriedly checked their physical conditions and finally found that these people had only been injected with some kind of anesthetic and were not in danger of life.

"I'm a man of my word. I'll release people if I say so. What do you think? I still have thirteen chips. Do you want to continue?" Xu smiled and looked at Qian Chunlihua.

"Of course we have to continue." After winning for the first time, Qianchun Lihua felt a little more confident. She wanted to win back all the lost team members.

"Let's continue! I'll bet three." Xu used spider silk to hang up three Death Gods: "If you can still win, I will give these three people to you. If you lose, you will return the two you won and cut off your right hand. How about it?"

"Okay, I'll make a bet with you." Qianchun Lihua gritted her teeth. At this moment, a reaper she had rescued had a subtle reaction. He reached out and grabbed Qianchun Lihua's trouser leg, and said in a very weak voice: "Qianchun-chan... don't bet with him... this is..."

"Buy big, buy small! Make a decision quickly!" Xu's voice was very harsh, directly interrupting the words of the God of Death.

Qian Chunlihua was a little bit drunk now. She bit her lip and hesitated for a moment: "Buy a small one!"

The Grim Reaper closed his eyes in pain. People who have been hanging around in casinos for many years know what gambling is.

Nine out of ten gambling cases are scams!

Everyone in the casino cheats, but some are just so skilled that others can't see through them.

How do gamblers get hooked in the first place? Isn't it because they think they can win?

"Then keep an eye on the dice!" Xu's face showed cunning, and he spit the dice in his mouth into the sky. The dice flew very well, almost shoulder to shoulder with the white clouds.

Qian Chunlihua's eyes were fixed on the dice, and her heart also rose and fell with the dice.

Even at the moment the dice fell to the ground, Qianchun Lihua didn't dare to look at the dice.

"Newcomers are really lucky!" Xu's voice was a little impetuous. Qian Chunlihua looked over and found that the number on the dice was only one.

Did that mean she won again? Her heart finally settled down, and Chihchun Lihua forced a smile.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!" Three Grim Reapers were thrown over. Qian Chunlihua hurriedly checked the physical conditions of these people. They had all been injected with some kind of anesthetic and could not wake up temporarily. Even if they woke up, they would not be able to fight in a short time.

"How about it? Do you want to continue playing?" Xu smiled at Qian Chunlihua and said, "You have five Death Gods in your hand now. How about this, I'll leave you one chip to turn the tables, and I'll bet on four!"

After winning twice in a row, Qian Chunlihua was full of confidence: "Okay, I'll give you four. I'll bet on the big one!"

Little did he know that he had fallen into a trap carefully set by the enemy.

Xu used spider silk to roll up the dice that fell on the ground, held it in his mouth, and suddenly spit the dice into the sky.

Qianchun Lihua's heart rose and fell with the dice again. Now she kind of understood why her men all liked to gamble.

When gambling, there is a kind of anticipation for the unknown. Over time, this feeling will turn into pleasure or even addiction.

This is called gambling addiction.

Tick ​​tock!

The dice kept bouncing on the ground, and Qian Chunlihua's heart kept jumping up and down with the dice. Although it was only a short moment, it was extremely tormenting.

The moment the dice stopped jumping, Qian Chunlihua instinctively closed her eyes. A shrill laugh came to her ears: "I knew that people's luck can't always be good. Little girl, you lose this time!"

Qian Chunlihua's heart suddenly sank to the bottom. The dice in front of her had only one point, and she lost.

The spider silk rolled over quickly and rolled the dead god back into the huge spider web.

"Little girl, I think you should just forget it! It's okay for you to take one person back with you. Why bother about the life and death of these people?" Xu's voice sounded extremely ironic in Qian Chunlihua's ears.

The last Grim Reaper smiled bitterly: "Chiharu-chan, I believe you. No matter what choice you make, I won't blame you."

"How about this! You are so beautiful, let me take the loss and we will go all in! If you lose, cut off your hands and feet. If I lose, I will return all the death gods to you. How about it?" Xu smiled.

"No problem. Let's decide the outcome in one go." Qianchun Lihua has already put her own life and death aside.

“Buy big, buy small!”

"Buy big!"

Xu spit the dice directly to Qianchun Lihua's feet. Qianchun Lihua did not close her eyes this time, but stared at the dice.

The dice was about to roll to "4" when suddenly a force came from nowhere, causing the dice to spin half a circle more and land on a single point.

"Little girl, accept the bet and admit defeat! Cut off your own hands and feet! Otherwise, none of your companions will survive!" Xu grinned.

Qianchun Lihua's face was pale, but she still pulled out her knife, aimed at her calf, and swung it fiercely!

Chapter 42: My knife is coated with poison

"clang!"

The sound of metal clashing was heard in the night sky.

Qian Chunlihua did not feel the severe pain in her leg. She mustered up the courage to open half of her eye and saw a knife pointed at her own.

"You...you are..." Qianchun Lihua found that the person standing in front of her was a boy of only eleven or twelve years old.

This young man is also from the 11th Division and is attracting much attention.

"Chiharu Shixi, I haven't seen her for a long time." Aizen looked at the girl in front of him with a faint smile on his face.

"Why are you here?"

"I'm on patrol in the Southern Twenty-Eighth District and just received an order from Soul Society to come for support." Aizen told the truth.

"Support? Just you? Where is the main force?" Chiharu Rika poked her head out to look behind Aizen, but saw nothing.

"There is no large army. I am the first one to arrive. You don't look in good condition. Is there something wrong with your mind? You actually slashed at yourself with a knife." Aizen asked.

If the enemy's ability is mental, you must be extra careful.

"No." Qianchun Lihua explained the situation concisely.

This Void used the life of the God of Death as a bargaining chip.

Aizen reached out and gently pushed his glasses. "I see! I understand the general situation. Now please take this injured team member away immediately, and I will rescue the rest. I am quite confident in my gambling skills."

"But leaving you, a child, here..." Chiharu Rika was a little worried about Aizen.

"You rescued this colleague with great difficulty. You don't want to see him in danger again, do you? Please return to your previous base immediately. The rescue of the Gotei 13 will arrive soon. Please believe me, I will bring all the remaining team members back." Aizen's tone was unusually calm.

Qian Chunlihua looked at the young man in front of her and suddenly had an illusion in her mind that this young man was her leader and she should obey his orders unconditionally.

"I..." Qianchun Lihua was still a little undecided.

The rescued Grim Reaper said weakly, "What this guy said is correct. Your condition is unstable. Even if you stay, you will be a hindrance. Why don't we escape first to avoid becoming hostages of the enemy?"

Chiharu Rika bit her lip and nodded vigorously: "Aizen Sosuke...right? Please hold on until help arrives. I'll come to help you as soon as I've settled him down."

"No, I have enough confidence to rescue everyone. Please guide the large force at the original base. Otherwise, it will take a lot of time for the reinforcements to find us." Aizen analyzed calmly.

Qianchun Lihua could only take the rescued team member down the mountain as quickly as possible. Xu did not stop them, but just watched the scene with a smile.

"Boy, you want to fight me alone? Are you so sure?" Xu showed a smug smile. He was just a young boy. He had plenty of ways to deal with him.

"Actually, you are very scared inside, right?" Aizen suddenly said.

Xu was slightly stunned.
