"Quiet, whoever is talking will stay here."
On the platform of the portal, three sixth grade students stood side by side. The one who shouted was the young man in the middle.
Following his shout, all the fourth grade students in front of the portal quieted down. Natsuhiko stood among them, staring at the portal.
Today was the day they would head to the modern world to bury their souls. They would arrive in the modern world and bury their souls.
"My name is Qing Yan, the one on the left is Bai Lu, and the one on the right is Yi Dong. The three of us will be your guides to the modern world. If you encounter any danger in the modern world, just call our names."
Qing Yan shouted loudly. He was a tall young man with his arms crossed and his Zanpakuto on his back.
Bai Lu, on the other hand, was a tall girl with a cold expression.
Yi Dong, on the other hand, was a young man with glasses. He wasn't tall and looked harmless.
In front of these three, no one dared to speak loudly. These sixth grade students not only played the role of teachers, but were also responsible for protecting them.
Every sixth grade student who could be a guide was an elite student, and each of them had the ability to kill Voids, so they could save them if they encountered any Voids.
Seeing that they had quieted down, Qing Yan said, "Now, let's count the names. When you were in school, you all drew lots. Those with the same token will be in a group of three. Now, find your team members."
Hearing Qing Yan's words, everyone gathered together. Natsuhiko's token was engraved with a black cat, and the people with the same black cat were Ryoji Sanada and a student named Nozawa Keizo.
"What a coincidence." Ryoji Sanada smiled and put his arm around Natsuhiko's shoulder.
"Indeed."
Natsuhiko's mouth twitched. How could he not know that Ryoji Sanada had stolen someone else's token and joined his team?
After Natsuhiko and the other two finished counting with Bai Lu, they gathered together and waited for the portal to open.
Beside the three of them were three Hell Butterflies. The Hell Butterfly was a kind of insect that grew in the Soul Society. It had the function of communication and guiding the way. When going to the Modern World and back, the Hell Butterfly's guidance was required to enter the proper path.
Green Rock stood in front of the portal and said, "Follow the people in front of you. After entering the portal, run forward. Don't be afraid and don't fall behind. Got it?"
"Got it."
A loud and clear shout rang out, and everyone got into formation.
Qing Yan pulled out his Zanpakuto and inserted it into the portal. With a gentle twist, the portal slowly opened.
Green Rock then said, "Come with me."
He jumped down first. Bai Lu and Yi Dong stood outside the door and shouted, "Enter in order."
The rest of the people quickly entered the World Crossing Gate. After entering, they found themselves in a long passage. It was different from the passage that Ichigo Kurosaki used to enter and leave Soul Society. There were no obstacles because they had the Hell Butterfly to carry them to the Modern World through a stable path.
Even so, Natsuhiko didn't dare to be negligent. He quickly ran forward and followed Green Rock at the front.
The passage to the Sundered World was not long. In about a minute, they reached the other end and entered the Modern World with a poof.
"This is the Modern World?"
Ryoji Sanada asked. He was born in Drifting Soul Street, not a dead soul.
In Soul Society, souls can get married and have children. But the number of souls born is very small. It can't be compared to the number of souls that die in the transformation process of the Three Realms.
Once there is a problem with the number of souls in the Three Realms, it will forcefully intervene. For example, killing the souls in Drifting Soul Street to achieve balance.
So when the Death God maintains the balance of the Three Realms, there are countless lives in the dark.
Natsuhiko and the others' place of practice is a small town. The streets are clean, but there aren't too many tall buildings.
Green Rock said, "With the Realm Crossing Gate as the center, move within 0.1 spirit miles of it. Look for souls that are alone and bury their souls."
Following Green Rock's words, the group dispersed. Ryoji Sanada shouted, "Let's go, we're going to look for souls."
The three of them formed a small group and headed east. It was currently night in the Modern World. There were no pedestrians on the streets, but there were still some wandering souls.
Among these souls, some were children with bloodied faces, some were old uncles, and some were confused youths.
They maintained their rationality and had their own judgment. When they saw so many people appear around them, they were curious at first and even touched them with interest.
But when they touched real bodies and saw them walking towards them with swords drawn, they were scared out of their wits.
Ryoji Sanada saw an old soul chasing after the other party.
But the other party was scared out of his wits and fled into the distance.
"Hey, don't run, we're not bad people." Ryoji Sanada shouted and chased after the other party.
"Then put down your saber!" the old soul shouted.
Ryoji Sanada shouted, "How can I transcend without a sword?"
Hearing this, the old soul trembled in fear and shouted, "You really want to kill us."
But at this time, Natsuhiko's figure flashed and appeared in front of the other party, blocking his way.
The old soul crashed into Natsuhiko and sat on the ground. The next moment, Natsuhiko's sword hilt touched the other party's head.
When Natsuhiko put the Zanpakuto back into the scabbard, a "soul" character appeared on the other party's head. And with the appearance of the "soul" character, a black round hole appeared behind the old soul.
As the round hole appeared, the old soul was sucked in. A butterfly flew out from behind Natsuhiko and followed the old soul into the round hole.
Without the guidance of the Hell Butterfly, these souls couldn't be sent to the transit station of Drifting Soul Street. After the Hell Butterfly sent them away, it would come back again.
After Natsuhiko finished the soul burial ceremony, Ryoji Sanada and Nozawa Keizo ran to his side. Ryoji Sanada said, "It's that simple?"
Natsuhiko nodded and said, "It's not difficult."
"My turn."
Sanada Ryoji immediately chased after one of the souls. However, his tall figure, ugly face, and the sword in his hand made most of the souls that saw him flee in all directions.
Ryoji Sanada spent a lot of effort to catch one, but he didn't succeed. He was puzzled and couldn't find the reason.
"You're too strong, can't you see him screaming in pain?"
Natsuhiko looked helplessly at Ryoji Sanada who kept hitting the other party's head with his sword hilt.
"Again." Ryoji Sanada tried several times and finally succeeded in sending the other party into Soul Society.
"Haha, I did it." Ryoji Sanada looked at the disappearing soul and laughed proudly.
But the moment Ryoji Sanada turned his back, a white claw penetrated his chest and appeared on his chest.
"Ah!"
Ryoji Sanada's body stiffened, looking at the claw on his chest covered in his blood, his face was full of despair.
Behind Ryoji Sanada, a Hollow that was half the height of a person slowly emerged. It crouched there like a huge lizard with a hard shell and a long tail, and its forelimbs penetrated Ryoji's body.
"Ryoji."
Natsuhiko was slightly stunned, then shouted, "Hold on, I'll save you."
As his voice fell, Natsuhiko clenched the Zanpakuto in his hand and rushed to the Hollow.
