After Kurosaki Ichigo and Kuchiki Rukia left and turned around to see clearly everything in front of them, Tang Kannonji fell to his knees weakly.
He saw the whole process of the collapse of the monster he defeated.
The skin that was as hard as steel gradually peeled off like cracked paint on the wall, and a human figure gradually appeared in front of his eyes.
He was very familiar with this human form because he had personally 'transcluded' it before.
"Why...the souls that I 'transcended' turned into such terrifying monsters?"
Tears slipped out of the corners of his eyes for no apparent reason. At this moment, Tang Guanyin probably knew that what he did before was definitely wrong, even without the need for anyone else to explain.
Watching the prototype soul body in front of him gradually collapse and dissipate, even if his brain is not working well, he can still see that this is not being 'transcended' or 'purified' at all... but truly and completely being
Eliminated.
He personally 'killed' an already pitiful soul again.
"Everything I did...after all..."
Tang Guanyin Temple stood up in confusion.
In front of him is the spirit that has dissipated into a spirit child and knows where it will go, and behind him is the worship and cheers coming from downstairs.
At this moment, he seemed to feel very clearly that his power was dissipating. The dream of a 'hero' seemed to be shattered again at this moment, and he became an ordinary person again.
But for some reason, he always felt that his shoulders had become heavier. It was a suffocating weight, as if the suffocating blue sky was licking his back.
This is probably the ‘weight’ that so-called ‘heroes’ must shoulder.
"That's right...even if I don't have power, I'm still a hero."
Tang Guanyinsi wiped away the tears on his face, because a hero cannot cry in front of everyone.
He crossed his hands on his chest in a signature gesture and laughed loudly at the cheering crowd downstairs.
Among the crowd, Kurosaki Ichigo, who was walking away from here in the opposite direction, couldn't help but look back when he heard the laughter that seemed to scream sadness.
"Being a hero... seems very tiring..."
······
Thursday, afternoon.
A luxury convertible parked in front of the Kurosaki clinic, which had not yet opened for business.
The cloaked figure jumped out of the car, and after hesitating for a long time, he finally rang the doorbell.
From the perspective of Tang Guanyin Temple at this moment, this seemingly ordinary clinic door in front of him may be a door that can change his future destiny.
By watching the video of that day, he saw the boy who rushed into the recording scene and was stopped by security guards and fainted.
Although the attire was completely different from that of the young man in his soul state, he was certain that this was definitely the same person.
Through many connections, he finally found out that this boy's identity was Kurosaki Ichigo, a student of Karakura Town No. 1 Middle School.
Obviously, this seemingly ordinary boy must hold some secret that he doesn't know, and it is probably a secret about the 'truth' of this world.
In order to understand this, and to have a chance to become a 'hero' in the true sense, Tang Guanyin Temple came here resolutely and rang the doorbell.
"Coming, coming, who is it? Sorry, we are closed on Thursday afternoon, please..."
"Click——"
The door opened, and a voice that made Tang Guanyin Temple excited came from the door.
Kurosaki Ichigo yawned and went downstairs to open the door without looking at who was outside.
"boom--"
The door was closed and locked, leaving Tang Guanyinsi, who had just become excited, confused.
"Young man! Why are you so heartless after not seeing each other for a few days!?"
Tang Guanyin Temple knocked on the door frantically, "We are comrades who fought side by side!"
"Who is your comrade in arms? How did you, a perverted stalker, know that I live here?"
Kurosaki Ichigo had a dark face. He originally thought that he would never meet this guy again, but he didn't expect that he would come to his door just a few days ago.
"No, no, no, you misunderstood, I didn't follow you!" Tang Guanyin Temple explained.
When he politely stepped aside, Kurosaki Ichigo saw Rukia Kuchiki standing behind this guy through the glass door, holding a large pile of red bean glutinous rice balls.
"I met this young lady on the road. I just gave her a ride." Tang Guanyinsi said without blushing or heartbeat.
"Ichigo, look! He bought me a lot of the highest-end red bean glutinous rice balls sold by Hotai House." Rukia Kuchiki hugged the glutinous rice balls with an excited look on her face.
"You idiot..."
Kurosaki Ichigo opened the door and looked at the 'Reaper' who was bribed by a bag of glutinous rice balls in front of him, his face was speechless.
"I knew you would open the door!"
Seeing Kurosaki Ichigo opening the door again, Tang Guanyinji was moved to tears.
"Come in first, you are too arrogant! Standing outside will bring trouble to our family!"
Kurosaki Ichigo dragged the person in with a dark face.
Tang Guanyinji's clothes at the moment are as exaggerated as when he was on the show. This guy is a hugely popular star. If a passerby sees such a big star standing in front of their clinic and begging, the next day
The 'business' will be much better! But what the heck, this is a clinic! It's not good news for a place like this to be blocked by a group of fanatic fans pretending to be sick.
"You idiot, shouldn't ordinary people know about the work of the God of Death? Why did you bring this guy here..."
As he went upstairs, Kurosaki Ichigo complained softly to Rukia Kuchiki beside him.
"It doesn't matter," Kuchiki Rukia hugged the glutinous rice balls with a look of self-abasement on her face, her eyes seemed to have lost their luster, "anyway, the world is already chaotic enough, I don't care about this anymore."
"Hey, hey, hey, don't give up on treatment in such a hurry..."
Kurosaki Ichigo looked helplessly at Kuchiki Rukia, who had begun to give up on herself.
Although the situation in this world does seem to be getting more and more out of control. After all, you see, that guy Sadatari couldn't replace Rukia's memory because of Xuanhao, and Inoue also knew a lot of things that ordinary people shouldn't because of Xuanhao.
What I know is that even the transformed soul can now be alive and kicking around in the streets of this world to pick up girls...
Well, thinking about it this way, Ichigo Kurosaki seems to be unable to understand why Rukia gave up on herself.
If Soul Society found out about this shinigami who failed at his job, he would be killed right away, right?
He even began to be a little afraid that Lucia would turn her grief and anger into appetite and become the first Shinigami in history to be choked to death by red bean glutinous rice balls.
"Oh... tell me, what do you want to do here?"
After sighing slightly, Kurosaki Ichigo took Tang Kannonji and Kuchiki Rukia to his room, sat on the bed with his hands folded, and asked angrily.
"Hey, young man, don't be so cold~"
Tang Guanyinsi scratched his head and smiled playfully. He took out a large stack of photos of himself from his arms, and his name seemed to have been signed on them. "Look, I brought you a lot of signed photos! Your lovely sister.
You should be very happy, right?"
"#!!"
Kurosaki Ichigo's fists clenched and a grumpy smile appeared on his face, "You've done your investigation very clearly! And you said you're not a stalker!?"
But even though he said that, he still kept the signed photos carefully, thinking that the wanderer would probably be very happy.
"Okay, let's get down to business. If you have anything, just ask me directly, although I don't guarantee that I will be able to answer you."
After putting away the photo, Kurosaki Ichigo scratched his head helplessly.
Needless to say, he could probably guess the other party's intention. After all... this guy had inexplicably killed a Hollow without knowing anything about it! Even he was curious about how he did it.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance in the direction of Kuchiki Rukia.
She is probably the only one here who knows the truth about this matter, but this guy hasn't been in a good mood in the past few days and hasn't paid much attention to him.
"Um...actually, I want to ask, what exactly was the monster I killed that day?" Tang Guanyinsi carefully looked at the expressions of the two people in front of him and asked, "Also...I suddenly suddenly
Does the power you obtained have anything to do with you?"
"..."
Kurosaki Ichigo was silent for a moment, and cast an inquiring look at Kuchiki Rukia beside him, as if to confirm whether he could tell this guy about this matter.
After seeing the other party nodding, he sighed helplessly. It seemed that Lucia was really fearless.
"That is not a monster, but a spirit called 'hollow'." Kurosaki Ichigo looked at Tang Guanyinji and said, "Ordinary spirits have chains on their chests. If the chains are destroyed, let the chest
If a hole appears, the spirit will become an irrational monster, that is, a void."
"So...it's really me..."
Recalling what he had done, the expression on Tang Guanyinsi's face became a little painful, "Before, I always thought that those chains were restraints that prevented the soul from rebirth. Breaking them would allow the soul to reincarnate. As a result...
"
"Speaking of which, your luck is not that good..."
Ichigo Kurosaki looked at the uncle in front of him speechlessly, "I have been exterminating spirits like this, but I have never seen a spirit that turned into a Hollow appear in front of you and attack you again before. It is simply incredible."
"hehe……"
Tang Guanyinsi smiled bitterly, this was not good luck for him. If he had known the truth earlier, he might not have made so many mistakes.
"well……"
Looking at the painful expression on Tang Guanyinji's face, Kurosaki Ichigo sighed and said comfortingly, "The ignorant are not guilty... Although such words are no different from farting, it is useless even if you regret it. Moreover
Even if those spirits are not turned into nothingness by you...if you keep ignoring them, it will only be a matter of time."
"There is no need to comfort me. If you do something wrong, you do something wrong. A hero will not escape his mistakes." Tang Guanyinsi shook his head and cheered up again, "What I want to know most now is what happened to my body that day.
What's going on with the sudden surge of power? And...who are you?"
"Sorry, I don't know this question, so I can't answer you."
Kurosaki Ichigo shook his head slightly and turned his gaze to Rukia Kuchiki, who had been silent and gloomy.
"Miss, do you know?"
Noticing Kurosaki Ichigo's gaze, Don Kannonji also looked at Kuchiki Rukia.
He had realized before that this girl seemed to be the leader between the two, otherwise they would not have bought so many glutinous rice balls to bribe each other.
But this girl always feels like something is wrong.
Well...especially the smile on his face that looked happy but actually made him feel inexplicably miserable, it really sent shivers down his spine.
Smiling is uglier than crying, which probably describes Kuchiki Rukia's current state.
She was holding a pile of her "favorite" high-grade red bean glutinous rice balls, and her face was full of happiness, but she looked so sad, as if she was deliberately trying to tell others, "Look, I'm laughing, I'm laughing."
!', with this forced smile, it is obvious that he has given up on treatment.
"That power of yours... it does have something to do with me, but..."
Kuchiki Rukia lowered her head and squeezed the hand holding the glutinous rice dumpling package tightly. The plastic package made a squeaking sound. She curled up her body, as if she wanted to hug something in pain.
After knowing that there was something called "Beng Yu" in her body, and that she was a "guinea pig" being toyed with by others, she felt extremely helpless, as if the whole world had abandoned her.
When and why did you insert such a thing into your body? What will your fate be like next?
Ignorance is really a gift from God to the incompetent, because the moment the truth is revealed, the incompetent will be gradually swallowed up by fear. Rukia Kuchiki discovered that even if she knew that she was being used, she was trapped in
There is no way to escape from someone's conspiracy.
What to do? Ask for help? Who should she ask for help? A series of questions made her upset because she found that no one seemed to be able to help her.
Having lost the power of the God of Death, she is a sinner in the Soul Society. Her brother, who is a noble, has his own position. Even if he wants to help her, he should be unable to do anything, not to mention who knows what the facial paralysis is thinking in his head all day long.
ah……
Now the only person she can think of who might be able to help her is Xuan Hao. If it is this man who doesn't even disdain the power of 'Beng Yu', he should be able to solve her problem easily, but the key opponent is obviously not at all
He planned to help her, but that damn girl-controller put all the truth in front of her like she was watching the fun, and then left in fear of her ass! What is going on?
As for Ichigo Kurosaki next to him? Forget it, it was already his dereliction of duty to involve him in the work of the 'Reaper'. How could he let this idiot continue to take risks for himself? And what can this idiot do with his little ability?
Woolen cloth……
In short, Rukia Kuchiki's mood was very complicated at the moment. She felt as if she was being targeted by the entire world.
