Chapter 558 551. Xuan Hao: Have you finished talking?
The sky was gray and it started to rain again at some point.
"Mom, I'm sorry...I couldn't avenge you."
There seemed to be such a sad voice coming from the rain curtain, but it seemed extremely small and almost inaudible amid the patter of rain.
The raindrops kept beating on the tombstone, making a ticking sound. The monotonous sound was always the same, as if it would never end.
Kurosaki Isshin was wearing a crisp black suit and walked step by step out of the rain. For some reason, this seemingly unreliable man at this moment was clearly holding a broken umbrella, but he gave the impression that he was holding a sharp sword.
a sense of solemnity.
The umbrella in his hand was like a sharp sword that could tear through this damn rain curtain.
With the cigarette burning under the umbrella, he walked through the rain to the tombstone, as if everything was contained under that ordinary black umbrella.
"Idiot, your mother would feel bad if she saw you like this."
Kurosaki Isshin said angrily, he raised the umbrella over the head of Kurosaki Ichigo who was soaked in the rain, and blocked him from the drizzle.
And his eyes continued to fall along the rain, until they landed on the lonely tombstone, and their eyes gradually became gentle.
"Life flies by so fast. It's been ten years since my mother died."
Kurosaki Isshin looked at the tombstone in front of him and smiled with emotion. There was no sadness on his face, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.
"It's six years, right?"
Kurosaki Ichigo hummed and glared at his unreliable father. "You bastard, you can't even tell how many years it has been since your wife died? I'm so angry just listening to you!"
"Hahaha……"
Kurosaki Isshin smiled softly and said, "You look like you haven't been caught in the rain. You are indeed my son. This little disturbance can't affect you at all. Your mother will definitely be pleased to see you so lively and vigorous."
Right?"
"..."
Kurosaki Ichigo was silent for a while, "Asshole, don't change the subject for me..."
He saw that the smile on this man's face was different from usual.
It's not like the usual heartless smile, but full of sadness.
Although he doesn't even remember how many years it has been since his wife died, in fact... this guy should be more sad than anyone else, right?
And... dad probably still doesn’t know the real cause of mom’s death.
Thinking of this, Kurosaki Ichigo suddenly lost his anger.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t know, or you have forgotten.
The fewer people who are sad, the better... It might be good if dad can always be so carefree.
As for revenge, leave it to me.
However, seeing Kurosaki Isshin smoking, Kurosaki Ichigo's face that had just calmed down became bulging with veins.
"You stinky old man, haven't you quit smoking? It's useless and polite to smoke in front of a grave, okay!"
"Ah...are you talking about this?"
Kurosaki Isshin raised the burning cigarette in his hand and chuckled, "She once praised me when Yuzi and Xia Li were born. At the beginning of our relationship, she also once said... I look handsome when I smoke.
."
"In other words, you bastard old man still smokes in front of young girls and pregnant women, right?" Ichigo Kurosaki complained angrily. He thought to himself, I really don't know how my mother, who is so beautiful, could fall in love with such a bastard guy.
of.
"Haha... Now that I think about it, it seems like that."
Kurosaki Isshin rubbed his head in embarrassment, "But since your mother praises me for being handsome when I smoke, I must look my most handsome to see her."
"So...are you just smoking today?"
Kurosaki Ichigo seemed to understand something, and a sad look appeared on his face.
It turns out that no one has forgotten his mother's death, they just pretend to be okay and live strong. From this point of view, he is still a bit too naive.
"Okay, don't always look so sad!"
Isshin Kurosaki smiled and patted his son on the shoulder, "I told you that your mother would feel bad if she saw you like this!"
"I understand everything..."
Kurosaki Ichigo lowered his head, water dripping onto the ground covered by the black umbrella and splashing. He didn't know whether it was the rain remaining on his face or tears.
"But I can't smile like you...why...no one blames me? When my mother died, and just now...why did this happen! Why don't you blame me! It's obviously because of me, my mother
He will die..."
No matter what he thought, he felt that if he hadn't been meddling in his own business, his mother would not have been killed by that virtual creature. But now he couldn't even take revenge and watched his enemy escape before his eyes!
"Huh? What nonsense are you talking about?"
Kurosaki Isshin looked at Kurosaki Ichigo with an idiotic expression on his face, "If I dare to blame you for Masaki's death, she must not curse me to death..."
"So isn't everything still my fault?"
"No, you seem to have made a mistake, silly boy."
Kurosaki's eyes became more serious. He looked at his stubborn son and sighed slightly, "I don't blame you for your mother's death."
No one knows better than him what exactly caused Kurosaki Masaki's death.
It's impossible for him to really forget how many years his wife died.
It's just that there is no way to tell his stupid son truthfully.
A mere low-level Arrancar can kill Masaki? What a joke! Kurosaki put out the cigarette in his hand with all his heart, and his eyes became gloomy.
He knew very well that the real cause of his beloved's death was definitely not the Hollow. On the surface, Kurosaki Masaki's death was indeed the accident six years ago.
But in fact, he knew that if it hadn't been for the incident that caused Masaki to lose all his Quincy power ten years ago, it would have been impossible to kill Masaki with the power of the Hollow.
That's right, his wife, Kurosaki Ichigo's mother, is not an ordinary human being, but a powerful Quincy.
As a Quincy, her life has gradually begun to perish since she lost all her Quincy powers and was contaminated by Hollow's power.
All this is irreversible.
Therefore, none of this will be the fault of my stupid son.
"If I have to say it, the woman I love stood up to protect her child even if she lost her strength. I should be proud of her."
Thinking of this, Kurosaki looked at the lost Kurosaki Ichigo and said, "You brat, you have to remember that you were given life by the woman I love. Cheer up and live a good life."
"Dad..."
Kurosaki Ichigo looked at the smile on Kurosaki Isshin's face and was stunned.
Then he punched the opponent in the face.
"Sure enough, I'm still unhappy with you, you bastard old man! You're not the one who saved me, why are you trying to be cool!"
"Oh, you brat."
Kurosaki rubbed his sore face and smiled, "It's really not cute at all, not like your mother at all."
"Stop being so verbose."
Kurosaki Ichigo put his hands in his pockets and lowered his head, turning around and walking into the rain.
He just wanted to escape from here quickly before he burst into tears.
"Boy, you must remember this."
Behind me came the old father’s tireless warning, “Live well, grow up, slowly become bald, and live longer than me. After that, if you can—
And I will die with a smile on my face.”
"Who wants to die, old man?"
Kurosaki Ichigo complained without looking back.
"Of course it would be best not to die."
Kurosaki Isshin knelt down and stroked the tombstone in front of him, with a gentle smile on his face, "If you died earlier than me, how could I have the nerve to see your mother..."
As he spoke, his gaze became dangerous.
"Also, I can't blame you for not being able to avenge your mother..."
Although the rain was loud, he actually heard what Kurosaki Ichigo said alone in front of the tomb just now.
"That's okay, after all... no matter how I think about this kind of thing, I have to do it myself."
"Tick-tock——"
The last drop of rain fell to the ground and the sky cleared.
"dart out--"
The dark umbrella suddenly shrunk.
Kurosaki Ichigo, who had already gone away, did not notice this scene.
At this moment, his father was holding up the umbrella in his hand and pointing straight at the sky, as if he was holding a sharp sword, with murderous intent in his eyes.
······
"Ahhhhhhhhhh-"
The screams continued to echo in this chaotic space.
However, the Xu that escaped here was not being persecuted by anyone, but was repairing its body with the help of its companions.
"puff--"
Amidst the frenzied cutting of a pair of arms that were as fast as afterimages, the blood on this virtual body spewed out like a fountain.
Although it looks cruel, this is indeed therapy.
"Esslinger, be gentle! You guy!" Xu screamed in pain, with suppressed anger in his tone.
"Stop blabbering, Grand Fisher, you idiot. If you tell me to be careful again, I will cut you into pieces right now."
The virtual voice known as Esgler continued to carry out the actions in his hands without any hesitation.
Like this injured Hollow, it is not an ordinary Hollow, but an Arrancar.
However, if you observe carefully, you will find that their level of Arrancars seems to be incomplete. They can only be regarded as 'semi-finished products' at best, and they are the lowest level of 'semi-Arrancars'.
GrandFisher is the code name of the Hollow who was injured by Kurosaki Ichigo. This guy actually had his own name, but he preferred the nicknames given to him by the Gods of Death. After all, this was proof that the Gods of Death had no way to deal with him.
It's very respectable to go out.
And its companions obviously disdained such a nickname, as if they didn't give it any face now.
"Really, you loser, you were beaten back by others before you even used your true skills. It's all because you don't take those gods of death seriously. Are you going to suffer now?" Esslinger helped.
He complained as he cut open the camouflage shell on the Grand Fisher package body.
"That's right," there seemed to be another Arrancar guarding the side, and its voice was also full of ridicule, seeming to be very disdainful of this companion who was beaten so embarrassingly by the God of Death, "Although those Gods of Death have to kill you if they want to kill you."
I'll have to chop your head off, but I told you a long time ago that it's best to be fully prepared before going out to look for food, we don't want to always clean up your mess."
"Hug...sorry."
Grand Fisher, who was scolded, put away his anger.
This anger is not directed at its companions, but at the god of death named Kurosaki Ichigo. If it offends the two guys around it, it will be very dangerous in its current state.
Although they all work for that master, their relationship is not as harmonious as imagined. In fact, their essence is still virtual, and there are no real companions in the virtual survival law, only domination and being dominated, swallowing and being swallowed.
Devour.
"Click——"
As the shell surrounding its body was completely cut open, Grand Fisher finally revealed its ferocious true appearance.
The strong body like a giant slowly stood up. It moved the body that had been hidden under the camouflage shell for a long time, and made the sound of creaking bones all over its body.
"God of Death...I have already remembered you. Don't try to take advantage of me next time!"
"Okay, don't embarrass yourself here, don't forget the Lord's order."
Esslinger reminded coldly, "Now is not the time for us to show up, and it is not time for the Death Gods to know about the Arrancar's existence. Don't go out in such a big way. If that adult knows about it, no one will
Can't save you."
"I know..." Grand Fisher seemed to be discouraged for a moment.
"..."
Several Arrancars chatted with each other, as if the reason why they appeared here was under someone's instructions. But they didn't know that everything they said now was heard by others.
Xuan Hao stood silently not far from several Arrancars. He did not hide deliberately, but the strange thing was that these three Arrancars seemed not to notice that there was an extra human beside them.
"I didn't expect that an Arrancar would appear in this world so early, right?"
Xuanhao touched his chin with interest and thought.
Has Aizen mastered the technique of helping the Hollow Arrancar so quickly? If he guessed correctly, the 'sama' mentioned by these three guys is probably Aizen Soyou who is still hiding in Soul Society.
Introduced.
As for what the truth is - wouldn’t you know it if you just ask?
"Hey, are you done talking?"
"!?"
The sudden sound made the three Arrancars tense up immediately.
They looked sharply in the direction of the sound, only to realize that there was someone suddenly there.
"Who are you……"
Grand Fisher looked at the humans who suddenly appeared here with alert eyes, "How is that possible?"
He remembered this human being. When he was escaping, he originally wanted to kill the injured Death God. It was this human being who saved the Death God.
I originally thought that no one would catch up, but I didn’t expect that I was being followed silently!
No, that’s not right! This is the gap between the real world and Hueco Mundo! How did humans get here!?
"Damn it, GrandFisher! You idiot, you are such a complete waste. Not only were you beaten back, but you were also followed!?"
Esslinger also had another Arrancar yelling.
Although they wanted to clean up this useless waste, the situation at hand obviously meant that they had to deal with the human who broke into their lair first.
This human is extremely dangerous because they don't even feel each other's presence before the other party makes a sound!
