This system is kind of weird

Chapter 234 Mutation

How many times?

Looking at the dead forest in front of him, Duan Mu subconsciously began to search.

Since the last time I entered this space, I have come here again after losing consciousness almost every few days.

But it won't take long for them to be expelled.

But it was not the little white dog that drove him away, but this space.

As for the little white dog, every time I came here, it took the initiative to run in front of Duan Mu. When it saw Duan Mu, it never made any movements such as resisting or running away. Instead, it gave people the feeling of suppressing fear and wanting to

The feeling of summoning up the courage to come to Duan Mu’s feet.

It's just that this spiritual world seems to be an over-indulgent mother. Every time he sees the trembling white dog, Duan Mu will be expelled from his own spiritual space...

In a way, this is the only legacy left by the Zanpakutō.

Judging from the experience of entering here several times, that little white dog... which is no more than the size of my own paw, should be my new Zanpakutō.

Although the Zanpakuto containing the sword spirit has not yet fully recovered, the sword spirit has been fully born.

But the legacy left by the former Zanpakutō was to protect the little white dog, preventing Duanmu from coming in contact with it, preventing him from 'dialogue' and 'synchronization' with the new Zanpakutō.

but……

Although the little white dog was extremely afraid of him and would tremble when he saw him. But every time Duan Mu came here, the little white dog would suppress its fear of him, come to him, and give Duan Mu

I feel like I long to touch it myself.

Having said that.

Duan Mu's eyes are a little weird, how can he talk to a dog?

Should we discuss this with Renji?

If I remember correctly, his Zanpakutō manifested into two animal forms: 'gorilla' and 'snake'.

The crazy woman waiting for her to wake up from the outside world is also within the scope of reference.

But forget about asking her for advice.

When I happily came to learn the art of beheading from Unohana Retsu, there was definitely something wrong with my brain.

Duan Mu has lost count of how many days this guidance lasted.

After all, every time he woke up from a coma, that disgusting scimitar would strike immediately. Duan Mu had no idea how long he had been in coma, nor how long he had been slashed by Uzhihua...

Only when he came here did Duan Mu have time to breathe.

Therefore, Duan Mu was not in a hurry to have a 'dialogue' and 'synchronization' with the Zanpakutō. Anyway, before the Zanpakutō was completely recovered, not to mention Hajime, he didn't even have a usable shallow strike, so he could only use

Kidou's Blade keeps meeting Unohana Retsu's attacks!

And most importantly...

No need to be intimidated!

The first release of the Zanpakutō requires "dialogue" and "synchronization" with the Zanpakutō; while the swastika requires the Zanpakutō to materialize and then subdue it.

But judging from the observations during this period, the little white dog did not need to be subdued.

and……

Duan Mu always felt that his newly born Zanpakutō was so fragile that it could be crushed to death with one kick!

Wow~

At this moment, there was a sound of grass moving.

This let Duan Mu know that the little white dog was coming to see him again.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the little white dog to roll out from Duan Mu's left side. It seemed that he tripped and somersaulted a few times as he ran too fast.

The little white dog got up from the ground and looked at Duan Mu. His purple eyes looked a little watery. His ears and tail, which were originally erect with joy, suddenly dropped after seeing Duan Mu.

"Ouch~~"

Amidst the soft barking, the little white dog stood tremblingly on the spot, still just like the previous times, not daring to approach Duan Mu, but unwilling to leave just like that.

Having said that...

The corners of Duan Mu's eyes twitched, how should I talk to this thing?

Is it possible that I have to bark at it?

After hesitating for a moment, Duan Mu knelt down and reached out to the little white dog.

"Woo~~"

Looking at Duan Mu's stretched out hand, the little white dog was so frightened that he whimpered and took half a step back with his trembling body.

This scene made Duan Mu frown slightly.

As a result, when he frowned, the little white dog was so frightened that his head immediately dropped and kept retracting.

Buzz~~

That inexplicable pulling feeling came again, as if it was pulling him away from the little white dog.

Duan Mu felt the pressure all over his body, clicked his tongue, and prepared to retract his hand, concentrating on facing the attack that would come after he woke up.

"Woof woof!"

But just when Duan Mu was about to take back his hand, the little white dog, which had not moved a few times before, suddenly jumped forward and jumped under Duan Mu's outstretched palm.

Then he mustered up his courage and raised his head to look at Duan Mu.

Um?

Facing the little white dog's gaze, Duan Mu curled his lips slightly, stretched out his outstretched palm like lightning, grabbed the back of the little white dog's neck, pulled it by the neck and lifted it in front of him.

Almost the moment Duan Mu mentioned the little white dog, the inexplicable pulling feeling disappeared suddenly, and the surrounding gray trees began to sway at this moment, creating a breeze.

This breeze seemed to be conscious, dragging the puppy that was lifted by Duan Mu.

The little white dog was held in Duan Mu's hand, and he was not angry. He just shook his body and his little head almost shrank into his arms.

"Um……"

Holding the little white dog in his hand, Duan Mu couldn't help but feel speechless.

Is this really my Zanpakutō?

Why do you think it's not as reliable as the original brat?

Although that kid is disobedient, at least he is human and can speak some human words.

And this thing in front of me...

"Come on, let me listen to you."

"Woo~"

Can't even speak a human word.

The corners of Duan Mu's eyes twitched, and he took the little white dog by the collar and shook it: "Then you have to tell me what your name is, right?"

"Woof woof woof~~"

This time the little white dog answered very quickly and barked several times proudly.

"..." Duan Mu.

Woof woof woof?

How on earth can you understand this?

A picture suddenly appeared in Duan Mu's mind. When he was fighting with the enemy, he suddenly raised his Zanpakutō, his body's spiritual pressure surged, his face was cold, and then...

"Woof woof woof, woof woof woof!"

Hiss~

Duan Mu hurriedly shook his head and dismissed the images that appeared in his mind.

After pondering for a while, Duan Mu sat down on the ground and immediately placed the little white dog in front of him.

After the little white dog landed, he also sat on the ground, tilting his head and looking at Duan Mu.

A person and a dog looked at each other without saying a word.

Mainly because...

Duan Mu really didn't know what to do next.

A new Zanpakutō was born, and it seemed that he was very close to me and did not reject him in any way.

But Duan Mu had no idea what to do next.

Because he has never communicated with a Zanpakutō before, and other people's Zanpakutō guide their masters to master themselves step by step, but this thing in front of him... let alone guidance, trying to communicate with this little brat is a very difficult task.

Big question!

"What are your abilities?"

"Ouch~"

"Can you write?"

"Ouch~"

"..."

Duan Mu changed his tricks and asked the puppy several questions in succession.

But he couldn't understand the answer he got.

At the end of the question, Duan Mu suddenly had the urge to "just strangle it to death and get a new knife."

The little white dog had just calmed down its trembling body and began to tremble crazily again.

This scene made Duan Mu even more convinced that the little white dog could feel his own thoughts.

"Don't worry, I'm just thinking about it."

This is not to deceive the little white dog. After all, it took so many twists and turns to create a Zanpakutō that is completely his own.

Looking at the silly little white dog in front of him, Duan Mu couldn't help but sigh: "It's not good for a Zanpakutō to be too smart, and it's certainly not good to be too stupid. When I first knew the name 'Sameness, Difference, Sameness', I couldn't help but sigh.

It’s not that strenuous.”

No, it's not so much that it's effortless, it's better to say that the brat took the initiative to tell Duan Mu his name in order to let Duan Mu use it.

“Woof woof woof woof~~”

Almost at the same time Duan Mu said these words, the little white dog suddenly started barking and kept running in front of Duan Mu.

Um?

Duan Mu was startled, then seemed to think of something, and asked tentatively: "Ju Ming?"

The little white dog ran a little slower and howled twice more.

"Similar but different?"

The moment the four words were spoken, the little white dog's purple eyes suddenly burst into purple light.

at the same time.

Gray trees, gray grass, gray soil...

At this moment, everything was covered with a layer of purple mist.

In the blue sky, the stars shine brightly, and the sun and moon burst into dazzling white light.

The white light and purple mist complement each other, filling the whole world with this extremely dreamy color.

"This name..."

Duan Mu didn't pay attention to the changes around him, but looked at the little white dog in front of him with a wary expression.

Because of this name, he instinctively felt something bad.

After all, the original similarities and differences can be extended to differences and rebellion, but the puppy in front of me has inherited the name of that brat.

Duan Mu is very suspicious...

Will this little puppy suddenly pounce on me and bite me?

"Ouch~"

The little white dog looked at Duan Mu with his purple eyes. At this moment, Duan Mu seemed to have something suddenly in his mind.

"Is it true that life and death are the same thing?"

After murmuring in his mouth, Duan Mu frowned slightly, vaguely understanding why the little white dog's name was still similar but different.

There are two types of similarities and differences: small similarities and differences and major similarities and differences.

People have consistent and inconsistent understandings of different things. This kind of similarity or difference in understanding is only a small similarity and difference; and all things have exactly the same aspect, that is, they are inseparable from the change of survival and death, but they also have a completely different aspect.

, that is, their respective changes are different, which is the great similarity and difference.

When things are different and there are similarities and differences, this is the so-called small similarity and difference.

The exchange of life and death, the passing of cold and heat, are the so-called great similarities and differences.

Before Duan Mu could think deeply, the surrounding scene quickly became illusory, and his eyes turned into darkness.

Duan Mu, who was already familiar with this feeling, opened his eyes without hesitation, and what he saw was the training ground located under Shuangshou Hill.

Zheng——!

Amidst the soft chirping, the Kidō blade of Zhan Hualun condensed in an instant, almost becoming an instinct.

Because Unohana Retsu will not give him too much preparation time at all. The moment she realizes that she wakes up, she will attack herself.

However……

When Duan Mu stood up with Kidou Blade in hand, the expected attack did not come.

How is it possible?

Duan Mu, whose body was covered with various knife marks and whose clothes were in tatters, stood on the same spot. It took him a while before he remembered to check for Uozhihana Retsu.

It was discovered that Hana Lie Uozhi was standing in the center of the training ground at this time, looking in the direction outside the cave entrance.

This scene made Duan Mu's eyes flash with a strange color.

Is something happening outside?

Thinking of this, Duan Mu immediately spread his detection nerves, and everything he sensed made his face darken.

because……

He actually felt numerous spiritual pressure conflicts within the Seireitei.

It's not Hollow's spiritual pressure, but the Shinigami's spiritual pressure that are conflicting with each other, and many of the auras are almost exactly the same.

During this period of his training, Aizen attacked Soul Society?

Impossible!

Although the reiatsu conflicts within the Seireitei are fierce, they are only in large numbers, and individuals are extremely weak.

What happened?

What he discovered did not solve Duan Mu's doubts, but made him even more confused.

Boom~~

At this moment, there was a sudden explosion from the entrance to the training ground.

A figure fell from the sky, its whole body covered with a layer of ice crystals, sending out bursts of chill around it.

That's...

Lucia?

When he saw the figure falling from the sky, Duan Mu's expression darkened and he immediately turned his head to look up into the air.

I saw a pure white figure slowly falling from the passage.

This is a young woman wearing a white long furisode kimono, with long lavender hair and ice blue eyes. The back part of her hair is tied together in a long bun and falls behind her shoulders; and the most bizarre thing is

Yes... At this moment, she actually held a Zanpakutō that was exactly the same as Kuchiki Rukia's.

she is?

A flash of surprise flashed in Duan Mu's eyes, and he suddenly understood why so many conflicts suddenly appeared outside, and most of the individuals were relatively weak.

"Duan Mu, be careful, she..."

Lucia, who fell to the ground, raised her head despite the pain and wanted to remind her.

But the scene that caught her eye made her swallow what she was about to say.

because……

Phew~

Amid the sound of blood spurting out, one could see the girl with long lavender hair, her pupils shrunk, and her eyes filled with disbelief.

And beside him...

A scimitar slashed across his waist.

Bang bang~

Two muffled sounds were heard in succession, and the upper body and lower body fell to the ground at the same time.

Next to the body that had been chopped in half, Uzhihua Lie's eyes looked extremely gloomy, giving people a feeling as if they were being disturbed in their pleasure. It seemed that people could only feel the cold air spreading straight up along the tail spine.

"Mumble~"

Kuchiki Rukia swallowed her saliva, who was that person?

Because Unohana Retsu was facing her sideways, with his long black hair flowing down like a waterfall, Lucia did not see Unohana Retsu's face under the cover.

Click~

At this moment, a crisp sound came from Kuchiki Rukia's hand.

"Oops!"

Rukia Kuchiki seemed to have thought of something, her face couldn't help but change, and she hurriedly looked towards the Zanpakutō in her hand.

I saw...

The untied Sode Shirayuki in her hand actually broke into two pieces just like the mysterious girl.

The mysterious girl who was cut in half turned into ice dust, all of which merged into the broken Sode Shirayuki in Kuchiki Rukia's hand.

Seeing this, Duan Mu frowned slightly.

It just happened at this moment...

Um?

This kind of timing?

Duan Mu's expression changed drastically and he looked at Lucia hurriedly:
