Where is this place?
Natsuhiko stood in this narrow street. Above him was the gray sky, and on both sides were low houses. The walls were dilapidated, and the air was filled with an oppressive smell.
Not far away at the corner of the street, there was a person lying there. His body was thin and withered, and his eyes were lifeless. He looked like a dead mummy.
Am I dead?
Natsuhiko recalled what had happened before he fainted. A big hole had suddenly appeared in the house, and a huge monster had poked out of the house. It had raised its thick arm and smashed it at him, and then he had fainted.
When he woke up, he had appeared in this place.
This is me?
Natsuhiko found that his body had become much shorter, and his arms and palms had become small. He saw a puddle not far away. He walked to the puddle and looked down. He saw a young face reflected in the puddle. He had short black hair, a pair of deep eyes, pursed lips, and a pale face.
It turned out that he had become another person.
Natsuhiko sighed. He planned to leave this dangerous place first.
He took a step forward. Suddenly, a head appeared from the window of the house next to him. Natsuhiko was so scared that his body trembled. He looked at it and found that it was a human face.
The face was very old. His eyes were sunken, and there were only a few sparse hairs on his head. He stood by the window and looked at Natsuhiko for a while, then turned and left.
Natsuhiko sighed. The eyes of the other party scared Natsuhiko, especially the deathly stillness in his eyes. That empty feeling of having lost all interest in life was frightening.
Natsuhiko did not want to stay here for long. He quickened his pace, planning to leave this street.
He walked past the intersection and turned left. In front of him was an open space. There was a big house next to the open space, and two people were standing in front of the house.
One of them was muscular and had a scar on his cheek. The other was young, but had a guilty expression and held a long knife in his hand.
The moment he saw Natsuhiko, the scar-faced man's eyes lit up. He said, "I didn't expect a new soul."
The young man next to him chuckled and said, "Leave this newborn soul to me. I want to use it to test my saber."
The scar-faced man said, "Then don't fail."
"No problem."
The young man chuckled and waved the katana in his hand as he walked towards Natsuhiko.
When Natsuhiko saw this scene, his face was filled with fear. If he was strong and healthy, he would have thought of fighting with the other party. But now, he had become an eleven or twelve year old boy. His limbs were weak. How could he fight with an enemy with a long saber?
Without another word, Natsuhiko turned around and fled. The young man did not mind Natsuhiko's escape. Instead, he looked at him with interest, like a hunter looking at his prey.
Natsuhiko ran with all his might, and a small path appeared in front of him. Natsuhiko turned into it, and after passing through this small path, Natsuhiko continued to run. He ran past more than ten houses and ran into the distance.
He turned the corner and ran for a distance before turning right. He found himself standing at the entrance of a new street.
Natsuhiko did not dare to stop. After running for a distance, he turned his head and saw a figure behind him. It was the young man from before.
He waved the long saber in his hand and ran towards Natsuhiko. Natsuhiko ran with all his might, but the distance between the two of them was closing.
Natsuhiko continued to run, but after running for a few hundred meters, he was panting and his speed began to slow down.
Therefore, Natsuhiko ran for another twenty or thirty meters. The young man behind him caught up and kicked Natsuhiko to the ground.
Then, he walked over and said arrogantly, "Where can you run to when I see you?"
Natsuhiko turned over and looked at the approaching man. He asked carefully, "I don't think I've offended you, right?
Why are you against me? "
Hearing this, the young man laughed and said, "Why do I need a reason to kill someone in the Chenyi District?"
After saying this, the young man walked towards Natsuhiko. Natsuhiko wanted to straighten up and run, but he was kicked to the ground.
Natsuhiko fell heavily to the ground. The young man walked up to Natsuhiko, stepped on his chest, and raised the saber in his hand.
The young man's eyes were filled with fanaticism. Killing would not be a burden to him. Instead, it would make him excited.
Natsuhiko kept struggling, but the young man's foot was firmly on him. With his small body, how could he break free?
The long saber was swung down, and a cold light appeared in the sky, slashing towards Natsuhiko.
Natsuhiko closed his eyes as if he had accepted his fate. However, the attack that he expected did not come.
With a bang, the pair of feet that were stepping on him left his body. Two figures stood in front of Natsuhiko, blocking the other party.
The two figures were not tall. They were shorter than the other party by a third. The leader was a muscular young man with long red hair. He held a wooden saber in his hand and stared at the other party.
In addition, there was a short-haired girl. She stared at the other party and did not back down.
Seeing them, the young man's face turned ugly. He snorted and said, "This is someone from our Chenyi District. He ran here. Get out of the way."
The leading red-haired young man said coldly, "I don't care which district he is from. As long as he comes to our Chenyi District, you have no right to kill him."
At this moment, the short-haired girl standing beside the red-haired young man said coldly, "Get out of here."
The young man looked at the red-haired young man with fear in his eyes. He snorted and turned to leave.
After he left, the red-haired young man heaved a sigh of relief. The short-haired girl walked to Natsuhiko and looked at Natsuhiko with pure eyes. She asked, "Little brother, are you okay?"
"I'm fine."
Natsuhiko smiled at the short-haired girl. He slowly stood up and looked at them. "Thank you for saving me."
"Thank you for saving me?
Your words are strange. "
The red-haired young man laughed and patted Natsuhiko's shoulder. "We didn't save you. We just didn't want people from the Chenyi District to come here and do evil."
Chenyi District?
Natsuhiko remembered that they had said that this was the Chenyi District. Hence, he asked curiously, "What is this place?"
Hearing this, the red-haired young man's smile disappeared. He looked at Natsuhiko and said, "So you are a newborn soul."
"Newborn soul?"
Natsuhiko's eyes widened. "You mean I'm already dead?"
The red-haired youth nodded and said, "That's right, you're already dead. This is Soul Society's Drifting Soul Street. You were in the 79th district of South Drifting Soul Street, and this is the 78th district of South Drifting Soul Street, Xu Diao District."
Soul Society?
When Natsuhiko heard this term, he frowned slightly. An idea appeared in his mind, but he couldn't believe it.
Seeing Natsuhiko stunned, the short-haired girl said to him, "You don't have to worry. Since you are in the Chenyi District, you can stay here. Those people won't dare to come here."
The red-haired young man nodded. "That's right. Although we are all orphans and this place is rather chaotic, we can take care of each other. No one will dare to provoke us."
When Natsuhiko heard this, he said seriously, "Thank you."
Although they were not much older than him, they were willing to help him. Natsuhiko was very grateful to them.
At this time, the short-haired girl asked again, "Right, I still don't know your name."
Natsuhiko quickly answered, "I'm Natsuhiko."
"Natsuhiko?"
The short-haired girl repeated the name, then suddenly said, "Hello, I'm Lucia."
"Lucia?"
Natsuhiko's eyes widened. At this time, the red-haired young man also said, "I'm Renji Asanai."
Renji Asanai?
When Natsuhiko heard this name, he was stunned. Renji Asanai, Lucia, Soul Society, Chenyi District.
Isn't this the content of the Grim Reaper manga?
I actually transmigrated to the Grim Reaper's world?
