"Mei, run!"

Hearing the woman's urgent shouts, Hoshino Rie looked up and her pupils dilated sharply.

A blurry image came into view.

It had a long tail, and it must have used that tail to whip her away.

Most importantly—the long tail had already passed through the woman's belly.

The woman, with a strength she didn't know she possessed, handed the baby in her arms to the little girl when the monster appeared, and pushed her away.

Chapter 58 Dilemma (Please continue reading)

The little girl, holding her newborn brother, froze in place.

Being too young to make a rational judgment in this situation, she stared blankly at the scene before her.

But she quickly realized that her mother had been hurt by the monster and cried out anxiously, "Mom!"

"Husband...Madam!"

Such a strange thing happened in the room that some of the servants and midwives wanted to escape, but then they saw the door open.

Hearing the commotion inside, the young man pushed open the door and entered the room: "What happened?!"

"Young Master, it seems... it seems there are unseen ghosts in the house!" the servant said in a trembling voice.

The servants and midwives inside the house could not see Xu and the little girl. They only saw the table suddenly smash against the wall, and then the lady who had just given birth was pierced by something and seemed to be lifted up.

At that moment, a terrifying smile appeared on the mask of Nagao Uzumaki, revealing his white teeth.

"We're family, huh? Then let's send you off to reunite!" Nagao Gen let out a piercing laugh. "You'd better thank me properly!"

It swung its tail, throwing the woman on its tail at the young man.

The young man was just an ordinary human being and had no time to react before being hit by his wife.

The two men's flesh and blood merged, and they fell silent.

The scene before them caused the people inside to completely collapse, and they all rushed towards the door. However, there were too many of them, and for a moment they got stuck in the door frame.

"faster!"

"Get out of the way!"

"Let me out!"

The girl was devastated. Her parents had died tragically before her eyes, and she was holding her newborn brother in her arms. However, she had no power to protect her brother from this terrifying monster.

The intense despair caused the chains of cause and effect on her heart to corrode and dissolve rapidly.

"How interesting!" Nagao Hun grinned maliciously, ignoring the humans blocking the doorway, and turned to look at the girl.

It suddenly became interested and wanted to see if the girl would just turn into nothingness.

And for some reason, the newborn child was particularly tempting, which greatly increased its appetite, and that's why it came.

It stretched out its claws and quickly reached for the younger brother in the girl's arms.

The girl tried to escape, but her speed was negligible in the eyes of the long-tailed monster, and she couldn't escape its claws at all.

call out--

Suddenly, the girl disappeared.

Nagao Utsuro turned his head and saw the Shinigami who had been sent flying earlier holding a girl and a child.

However, she looked to be in very bad condition. Her right hand was hanging limply, bleeding profusely, her breathing was disordered, and several of her right sternum bones were broken.

"It's quite sturdy; we should use more force," Long-tailed Hollow sneered.

Hoshino Rie was slightly out of breath, and her legs were trembling. She was too badly injured, and it seemed that she was about to exceed her limit after using only the next Shunpo.

My legs felt like they were filled with lead and wouldn't obey my commands.

She quickly realized that the tendons in her leg might also be injured.

Hoshino Rie gritted her teeth, forcibly raised her spiritual pressure, grabbed the girl and child, smashed open the wooden window, and fled outside.

However, just as she escaped outside, she witnessed a scene that filled her with despair.

On the opposite rooftop, a figure with an extremely imposing presence was lying there.

It was a Hollow that resembled a gecko, even larger than the long-tailed Hollow inside the house. The eyes on its mask alone were larger than those of an adult.

bang——

The wall behind him was smashed, and the figure of Nagao Utsuro slowly appeared.

"It's...it's all over..."

Hoshino Rie originally wanted to escape, make a commotion, and attract her teammates' attention to the situation so they could come to her aid.

But by then she was in dire straits.

There's no strength left to run far, let alone escape from the clutches of both sides.

It seems she won't live to see her teammates rescue her.

"This is my prey!" After warning the gecko, the long-tailed Void extended its claws and grabbed at Hoshino Rie.

Just then, a whooshing sound suddenly rang out.

call out--

puff-

The long-tailed fox's claws suddenly split open and broke into several pieces.

The person who appeared in front of Hoshino Rie was Yoruichi Shihouin.

“I’m saved…” Hoshino Rie felt a huge sense of relief.

She was quite familiar with her fellow disciple's abilities.

Yoruichi Shihouin turned around, revealing what she thought was a cool smile. "Yo, I'm not late, am I?"

Hoshino Rie cried out, "Watch out!"

"Damn it! Die!" Long Tail roared, his long tail lashing out at Yoruichi Shihouin.

Boom!

Yoruichi Shihouin used her other hand to press down on her Zanpakuto and cut off its long tail.

"Hey—a small fry should act like a small fry, don't cause trouble for others!" Yoruichi Shihouin pushed her long tail aside and disappeared with Shunpo.

The next instant, she appeared behind Longtail Hollow.

A crack appeared on Longtail Hollow's forehead, and then his entire body split in two.

"Boss, come help us!"

Hoshino Rie looked up and saw that her two teammates were fighting against the gecko.

"Here they come!" Yoruichi Shihouin joined the battle.

The Gecko Hollow was slightly stronger than the Long-tailed Hollow, but with Yoruichi Shihouin joining the fight, the three of them quickly defeated it.

Only then did Hoshino Rie have time to treat her injuries and check on the girl in her arms.

However, the girl had already fainted, but she did not put down the baby in her arms. The "Lock of Cause and Effect" on her heart was corroded down to just a little bit.

When Hoshino Rie took the baby from the girl's arms, she found that he had also lost his life.

She remembered that she hadn't harmed the baby, yet he still died.

"She'll soon transform into a void, so hurry up and perform a soul burial," the baby-faced girl said.

"What's wrong, Rie?" Yoruichi Shihouin noticed that Rie Hoshino was in low spirits.

“I shouldn’t have brought her here, she got hurt like this… If I were stronger, that tragedy wouldn’t have happened…” Hoshino Rie said.

Yoruichi Shihōin was silent for a moment, then said, "It was my mistake. I shouldn't have assigned you, who was positioned as a medical professional, to act alone."

"It's good that you weren't eaten by the Hollow. I'll use Soul Burial now." The baby-faced girl pointed the end of the knife hilt at the girl, preparing to use Soul Burial.

"Wait a minute—have you forgotten? A 'spirit' with obsessive attachments can't be burialed!" Yoruichi Shihouin pressed down on her Zanpakuto.

"Then what do we do? Just wait for her to turn into a phantom and then cut it down?" the baby-faced girl said.

“She’s so young, she definitely doesn’t have any sins on her body. Even if she becomes a Hollow, she’ll only go to Soul Society after being purified,” the short-haired youth said.

When Shinigami use their Zanpakuto to destroy Hollows, they are not actually erasing them completely, but rather purifying the sins accumulated after their deaths.

After being purified by the Shinigami, Hollows will revert to souls and return to the homeland of souls—Soul Society.

However, if a person is burdened with sins in life, even after being purified by death, they can only fall into hell.

"Okay, I'll report the situation here to the teacher."

Just as the baby-faced girl was about to use the Hell Butterfly to contact her teacher, the Hell Butterfly spoke first, revealing Shikatoshi Nanatsuki's voice: "Second-class students, there is a high-risk spiritual pressure reaction at your location. Leave immediately!"

Chapter 59 Desperate Situation (Please continue reading)

The sky suddenly darkened.

To be precise, the sky cracked open.

A giant skeletal claw emerged from the crack.

The giant skeletal claw gripped the edge of the crack, and the sky was torn apart like a curtain by the giant skeletal claw.

A white mask was revealed from the crack.

A terrifying and violent spiritual pressure descended from the sky.

A terrifying black shadow, obscuring the sky, slowly emerged from the crack in the sky.

The four people in Group Two suddenly felt as if they had a mountain on their backs.

The short-haired youth stared at the horrifying scene before him and said in a trembling voice, "Such a terrifying aura... this is beyond our ability to handle, isn't it?"

“A hollow void…” Yoruichi Shihouin showed a solemn expression for the first time in front of the group. “This is a ‘Ghilian,’ a Hollow formed by the fusion of many Hollows… and there’s more than one!”

It could be vaguely seen that there was more than one Hollow in the crack in the sky.

The baby-faced girl said blankly, "Aren't Hollows something that only royal agents or multiple captains can handle? Why are we encountering something like this..."

Yoruichi Shihouin shook her head: "It's not as exaggerated as the textbooks say. A vice-captain or a high-ranking officer can deal with a Hollow."

"But this is beyond our control, let's go!"

Seeing that Hoshino Rie was badly injured, Yoruichi Shihouin carried her on his back. After thinking for a moment, he couldn't bear to leave the girl there, so he took her with him.

If purified by the Grim Reaper, one can go to the Soul Society, but if consumed by a Hollow, one can only become a part of the Hollow's spirit particles.

The group quickly set off to leave.

The Hell Butterfly following them continued to transmit Shikato Nanatsu's voice: "Don't go this way to the base. There are enemies on this route. Find a hidden spot and I'll come find you as soon as possible!"

The short-haired youth hurriedly asked, "Boss, what should we do? Should we go back to the base?"

Without hesitation, Yoruichi Shihouin decisively said, "Let's listen to our teacher and change direction!"

The group changed direction and fled.

At this moment, a huge rift had been torn open in the curtain of the sky, revealing the figures of the Hollows.

Yoruichi Shihouin looked back and broke out in a cold sweat. There were four Hollows in the crack!

"Even if Shikatori-sensei came, could he handle so many Hollows?" Yoruichi Shihouin thought to herself.

However, after changing direction, they were blocked by a group of fakes.

Although these Hollows are all ordinary Hollows, under normal circumstances, Yoruichi Shihouin alone would be able to deal with them. But now that they are blocking her way, it is a very dangerous situation, especially since there are four powerful Hollows behind her!

"Damn it, why are there so many fakes!" the short-haired youth said in despair.

"Break through immediately! Otherwise we'll all die here!" Yoruichi Shihouin drew her Zanpakuto and swiftly sliced ​​a Hollow that lunged at her in two.

She had just finished slaying one Hollow when three more Hollows immediately pounced on her.
