"It's even scarier precisely because we can't see it!"

…

Soul Society, the legendary world where the god of death and souls live, includes Seireitei in the center of Rukongai and Rukongai surrounding Seireitei.

As far as Huato knows, Seireitei is where nobles and shinigami live, while Rukongai is where ordinary Rukongai live:

Seireitei is located in the center of Soul Society, surrounded by Rukongai. From a bird's-eye view, it looks like a ripe poached egg, with the yolk tightly wrapped in egg white.

Theoretically speaking, Rukongai has 1-80 areas in each of the four directions: east, south, west, and north. After ordinary Rukongai arrives in Soul Society, the Shinigami will randomly arrange them to Rukongai based on "sorting tickets"

a certain district.

The higher ranking districts have good public security and living standards. The closer they are to Jinglingting, the more abundant the resources are;

As for the districts that are ranked lower, there is no grass growing there and there is famine everywhere. People's souls are killing each other to decide who gets the right to live.

By analogy, as the number of area codes increases, the security situation and living conditions in each district will decline, and resources will be extremely scarce, getting worse and worse!

It is said that in places with poor public security, evil things such as murder and arson often occur. There was even a "bloody massacre" in a certain district that took pleasure in massacre.

…

Rukongai West 3rd District·Lifu Mountain.

After noon, the howling west wind carried dark clouds that filled the sky layer by layer. After a while, the entire sky was as dark as a sponge full of ink.

"Boom!"

A bolt of lightning suddenly flashed across the gloomy sky, like a sharp knife slicing through the little girl's face. In an instant, there was a strong wind and heavy rain.

Bean-sized raindrops fell down, washing rows of trees in Lifu Mountain. The dense rainwater left low-lying puddles one after another on the muddy mountain road.

"Gulu...Gulu."

"Gulu...Gulu."

The rain has not stopped, the wind has not stopped, a carriage comes from the north, the rolling wheels crush the water on the ground, but cannot crush the loneliness between heaven and earth.

"It's raining again! I don't know which roof she will take shelter from."

Kuchiki Hijin, who was gorgeously dressed and elegant, put down the car curtain, sighed quietly, and then took out a diary from his arms, his eyes full of sadness and worry.

When she picked up the pen to record in her diary, she also coughed quietly. The constant coughing made her pale face turn a sickly blush.

"Hisama-sama, are you okay?" Tachibana Shikyo, the driver of the car, asked worriedly.

"No, it's okay! Shi Jing." Kuchiki Hijin replied awkwardly, then put away the diary, raised the corner of the car curtain again, and stared blankly at the rain curtain outside the window.

Tachibana Shikyo stretched out his hand to lift the bamboo hat up, took a look at the sky and said: "Hisama-sama, please bear with me a little longer. After passing this Lifu Mountain, we will arrive at Shiba's house.

You can take a rest there and take shelter from the rain. You can rush back to Jinglingting tomorrow morning."

"No." Kuchiki Heizhen said slowly, "I've been out for a long time this time, so I better not let Byakuya-sama worry about it."

"Hi! I understand!" Tachibana Shikyo nodded, then took the reins and continued to drive forward.

Soon, the carriage drove through the muddy mountain road and came to a green grassland. Not far ahead, a thin figure was seen walking alone in the pouring rain:

He walked very slowly, but never stopped. Although he heard the sound of bells and horses, he never looked back!

He neither brought an umbrella nor a hat. The cold rainwater flowed along his face and into his neck. He only wore very thin clothes.

But his back was still straight, and his body was as strong as iron. Cold rain, strong wind, fatigue, fatigue, and hunger could not make him succumb.

Tachibana Shikyo saw such a strange passerby from afar, and immediately raised his riding whip and shouted: "This is the Kuchiki family's car, please pull over here!"

Unexpectedly, the man didn't even look back, nor did he stop. It was as if he didn't hear anyone talking at all, and he just walked forward despite the heavy rain and cold wind.

The man did not pull over, but Tachibana Shikyo had no intention of stopping. He drove the carriage past quickly, and the mud kicked up by the wheels splashed all over the man.

The man who was splashed with muddy water finally spoke, but he said something that no one could understand: "Damn it! Do you understand how to be courteous to pedestrians?!"

Kuchiki Heizhen also saw the young man rushing on his way. Seeing him walking in the pouring rain with thin clothes, it immediately touched her heart. She patted the car string and said: "Shi Jing, please stop!"

"Hizhen-sama, there is no need to pay any attention to these Rukongai people, they are not worthy of pity!"

"Stop!" Kuchiki Hijin said again, this time she raised her voice. Although she couldn't hear it clearly under the patter of rain, it seemed that she had exhausted all her strength.

"Hisama-sama, Byakuya-sama told me before he left not to let you have too much contact with Rukongai! So——"

Before Ju Shijing finished speaking, he heard a "plop" and the passerby suddenly plunged into the mud pit and never stood up again.

When Kuchiki Heizhen saw this, he was very worried and said angrily: "Shi Jing, stop the car immediately! I will naturally explain it to Lord Byakuya!"

"Hi..." Tachibana Shikyo reluctantly stopped the carriage, and then held an oil-paper umbrella beside the carriage. Unexpectedly, Kuchiki Hinama held up a floral umbrella and walked towards the passerby——

This passerby was called Huato. Because he did not understand Japanese during his lifetime, after he was extradited by Shiba Haiyan to the 3rd district of Nishi Rukongai, Lifushan, his eyesight completely darkened: Where is this?

After a brief period of panic, Huato suddenly remembered that Seireitei is located in the center of Rukongai and is the tallest building in Soul Society, so he rushed towards Seireitei without hesitation.

However, after walking for only half a day, Huateng realized a very serious problem: Why can’t I feel hungry???

As we all know, the souls in Rukongai are divided into two types: those with spiritual power and those without spiritual power:

The former will starve because of the spiritual power contained in their bodies. Simply ingesting spiritual seeds in the atmosphere is not enough to survive, so they need to eat food rich in spiritual power every day!

Because the latter have no spiritual power, they only need to ingest spirit seeds in the air and drink water to survive. Therefore, they will not change their height or weight even after death!

And a whole night has passed since Huato traveled to Karakura Town and now arrived in Soul Society, and he didn't feel any hunger at all!!

"Could it be that... I am a ghost without spiritual power??" Huateng was a little desperate. He had inexplicably traveled into "The God of Death", but ended up with no spiritual power at all?

When he thought that he was not even qualified to be cannon fodder, Hua Teng became less interested and even walked slowly. He walked like this from morning to afternoon. The sky was overcast, and soon it started to rain heavily.

.

The sound of a carriage came from behind, and Huateng didn't bother to pay attention. He just walked along the mountain road. It wasn't until he was splashed with mud that he couldn't help but yell: "Damn it! Do you understand how to be courteous to pedestrians?!"

Although I am a prankster without spiritual power, you can't prank me like this!

I walked along fine but got splashed with mud, and there was no Mrs. Ah Qing here. Who wouldn't be angry?

After venting his dissatisfaction, Huateng accidentally tripped his left foot with his right foot and plunged into the puddle. He drank himself to death on the spot and lay on the ground motionless for a long time...

At this time, Kuchiki Feizhen walked over and asked cautiously: "Are you... okay?"

Huateng vaguely heard someone talking, so he opened one eye with difficulty, looked at the familiar little woman in front of him, and muttered: "Oh, haha, Guo Zayi Masi!"

"Huh?" Kuchiki Heizhen was confused. He didn't know what this man was talking about. Seeing that he was dressed like a homeless beggar, he took out a box of rice balls from his sleeves and placed it in front of Huato, saying:

"I'm sorry, please forgive our rudeness! Um...are you hungry? Please accept this! I apologize to you again!!"

To be honest, Kuchiki Heizhen didn't know Huato, but Huato reminded her of her abandoned sister Lucia:

About one hundred and fifty years ago, after Hijin and Rukia died in this world, they were sent to the "Xutiao" area in District 78 of Minami Rukongai by the God of Death.

Due to the poor living environment in the "Xutiao" area, Feizhen was unable to support herself with her young sister, and eventually abandoned the infant Lucia...

After wandering in Rukongai for many years, Haizhen met Byakuya Kuchiki, the head of the Kuchiki family, one of the four nobles, fell in love with him and married into the Kuchiki family.

Because of the guilt towards his sister Rukia, Hijin has been trying every means to find Rukia after marrying into the Kuchiki family.

But because she is frail and sick, she can only go to Rukongai to inquire about her sister when her health improves.

But unfortunately, she has never been able to find Lucia, which also makes her inner guilt grow day by day!

Therefore, when Kuchiki Heizhen saw Huafu lying "hungry" on the muddy path, he immediately thought of Rukia who was also "hungry and cold".

Suddenly her sympathy overflowed, and she ignored Kishikyo's dissuasion and insisted on sending warmth to Huato:

"Maybe you are tired that you can't tell, but you must cheer up and never give in to difficulties!

For the sake of the family behind me, and for the happiness in the future, why are we afraid of suffering now? No matter how tired we are, what can we do? Come on!"
