"You are"
Looking at the three Hollows in front of him, Stark hesitated for a while and then asked, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the lion-shaped Hollow opposite.
"I am Mira Rhodes."
The golden lion interrupted Stark's words, and then turned his head to the coiled snake beside him.
"She is Sun Sun."
"As for the remaining guy over there, it's called the Apache."
"Mira Ross, what do you mean, you stupid lion!"
Feeling Mira Rhodes' contempt for him, Apache's eyes on one side burned with anger, and he turned his head and shouted at her angrily.
"You guys are pretty strong."
Looking at the noisy three people in front of him, Stark did not feel angry at all, but instead showed a trace of envy in his eyes. It is really a happy thing to have a companion like this, with whom you can make noises and get along with each other.
"Um?"
Hearing Stark's words, Mira Rhodes and Apache, who were noisy, stopped immediately. The three of them turned to look at Stark and Lilynit standing opposite them, and saw the eyes of these two people. The three of them were suddenly confused as to why they could feel the feeling of envy in their eyes.
Although she was puzzled by the envy shown by Stark and Lillynit, Mira Rhodes was more concerned about what Stark had said before.
"Pretty strong?"
Mira Rhodes looked at Stark, wondering what he meant by 'pretty strong'.
"At least you are not like other Hollows who will die just by being close to us. If it were you, you would not die easily even if you live with us."
"You guy."
After hearing Stark's words, Mira Rhodes felt the corners of her eyes twitching. Anyone who knew her well knew that this was a reaction she only had when she was very angry.
"What do you mean by 'I won't die just because I'm close to you'? How dare you say that!"
Mira Rhodes has never suffered such contempt. Although the maskless Hollow in front of her is indeed very strong, she dared to say that she and others did not die just because they were close to him, so the three of them are still quite strong. Even Baidegang is not so proud of his extremely arrogant words.
"What's wrong?"
Stark had a puzzled look on his face. What he said was indeed the truth, and because he had no experience communicating with other people, Stark really didn't know why the virtual meeting in front of him was suddenly so angry. He was just Just telling the truth.
"You guy!!"
Seeing Stark's confused look, Mira Rhodes's anger could no longer be suppressed. This guy actually dared to look down on the three of them like this!
"Wait, Mira Rhodes."
Just when Mira Rhodes was about to run away, Sunsun on the side suddenly called out to her, and then pointed at the pile of empty corpses not far away in her angry eyes.
Seeing Sun Sun's look in her eyes, Mira Rhodes cast her eyes into the distance, and then there was a look of horror in her eyes.
Looking away from the pile of empty corpses in the distance, Mira Rhodes could not calm down the horror in her heart. At first, her attention was attracted by Stark and Lilynit in front of her, but They didn't pay attention to the hill made of countless corpses behind them.
Suddenly, she recalled the terrifying spiritual pressure of Stark that she felt at the beginning. Mira Rhodes suddenly had a thought in her mind. Maybe this Hollow was not lying, nor did it mean to look down on herself and others. , but the fact is that as he said, other Hollows died because they couldn't bear it just by being close to them.
With this thought flashing through her mind, Mira Rhodes's eyes immediately changed when she looked at Stark. After all, Hueco Mundo is a place where the weak prey on the strong. It is the nature of a Xu to respect the strong, and the Xu in front of her is obviously even stronger. The strongest among those.
Stark was keenly aware of the change in the expression of the Hollow in front of him. Although he didn't know what it meant, Stark still felt a kind of respect from the Hollow in front of him.
"you."
Stark's lips moved slightly, and just as he was about to speak, his expression suddenly changed, and a cautious look appeared in his eyes. He turned his gaze to the right, and he felt a great sense of threat from there, which was something he had never felt before. sense of threat.
Seeing Stark's performance, Mira and Rhodes were slightly startled, and then followed Stark's line of sight.
"Lord Harribel! Lord Kimura!"
Seeing the two figures appearing from a distance, Mira and Rhodes shouted.
"Um?"
Hearing the screams from Mira Rhodes and the others, Stark's expression changed. Are the three people here subordinates of these two people
Although Stark acted a little unreasonable before, that was just because he rarely communicated with others. In terms of thinking and reaction, Stark was much better than ordinary people.
Phew~~
A gust of wind and sand blew up, raising the sand on the ground. The two figures in the distance gradually became blurry, but just for a moment, the two figures seemed to have passed through the space and appeared beside them in an instant. .
"So fast!"
Seeing two figures appear in front of him instantly, Stark's eyes shrank, and his eyes fell on the man in front. Feeling the aura emanating from him, Stark's pupils shrank again.
"So strong!"
"You are also very strong."
Feeling the powerful spiritual pressure on Stark's body, Kimura Muyang raised the corners of his eyes slightly. He was indeed the first ten-blade Stark, the only independent Arrancar among the ten blades.
"Lord Kimura, Lord Harribel."
Looking at Kimura Muyang in front of them and Harribel standing behind Kimura Muyang, Mira and Rhodes shouted again.
"Well." Kimura Muyang casually glanced at the three people standing aside, "You guys did a good job this time. I had already given up hope, but I actually let you find out."
"You flatter me."
Seeing the performance of these three people, Kimura Muyang smiled slightly and said nothing more.
Turning to look at Stark standing in front of him, Kimura Muyang smiled again, and he actually found Stark.
Kimura Muyang looked at Stark with a bit of sincerity in his eyes: "I'm looking for a companion, are you interested in joining us?"
Hearing Kimura Muyang's words, Stark and Lilynit's eyes showed a hint of excitement at the same time. As two people who have been alone for a long time, the word companion is a luxury for them. At this time, they suddenly heard Kimura Muyang's invitation, just like dropping a stone on a calm lake. The two of them had been silent for a long time. Suddenly there was a ripple in my heart.
Looking up at Stark, Lilynit's eyes showed a trace of hope. She no longer wanted to live alone with two people. She wished she had a group of companions!
"You are strong!"
Stark glanced at Lilynit's expectant eyes, and then looked at Kimura Muyang, with an unknown look in his eyes, perhaps excitement, perhaps anticipation.
"You will not die easily even if you are with us."
"As you can see."
"Is your companion strong?"
"certainly!"
Upon hearing Stark's question, Kimura Muyang replied without hesitation that there were really few weaklings among his companions.
"This is also one of my companions."
Kimura Muyang stepped aside, revealing Harribel who had been hiding half of her body behind him.
"she"
Seeing Harribel behind Kimura Muyang, Stark had a strange look in his eyes, and even Lilynit on the side had a strange look in his eyes.
At this time, Harribel's image has changed somewhat from the original. Although she still wears a blue and white armor-like coat, the mask on her face is much less than before.
The original strip-shaped mask on her forehead has completely disappeared, and the fish-tail-like thing connected to the strip-shaped mask and trailing behind her head has also disappeared. Now Harribel only has the part from the nose downwards. There is still a large piece of the mask left, and the shape of the mask is very different from the original one. The intersecting teeth make the mask look slightly ferocious.
Although there are still some differences between the two of them, Harribel is obviously very similar to the two of them. They are the same species - Hollow who has taken off the mask. Although Harribel is still far from the level of the two of them.
Staring at Harribel for a while, and then turning his eyes to Kimura Muyang, Stark's eyes were slightly gentle, and a strange emotion suddenly flowed in his heart, as if he had suddenly found something important to him.
"I see."
A smile suddenly bloomed on Stark's face, and then his whole person seemed to suddenly come to life. The loneliness that had been suppressed in his heart suddenly dissipated, and he felt that his life seemed to suddenly exude vitality, and everything changed. Gotta be different.
"Stark, Keyatei Stark."
Looking at Stark's hand stretched out and placed in front of him, Kimura Muyang's smile gradually spread, a smile rippled on his face, and he reached out to hold Stark's outstretched hand.
"Kimura Muyang."
The two looked at each other, and there seemed to be an unusual emotion brewing between them.
Ever since he saw Stark for the first time and felt the loneliness emanating from Stark, Kimura Muyang was touched in his heart. It was not an emotional touch between a man and a woman, nor an emotional touch between gay friends. Touch, that is more like the emotional resonance between two lonely hearts.
Stark has always been lonely, with only Lilinite accompanying him, but even with two people, they still can't eliminate that feeling of loneliness. Stark is certainly lonely, and so is Kimura Muyang. Although he has a group of good friends, in essence, he is still a person who does not belong to this world. His loneliness is even deeper than that of Stark.
Two clasped hands, two hearts that resonated with each other, two people met.
