Chapter 86 (Death)
When the sun set, the weather suddenly turned cooler, and Kisuke Urahara put on a gray-blue shirt and said while milking the black cat, "Is it going to rain?" ”
"Don't pretend to be so easy anymore, Kisuke, you know," the black cat said unexpectedly, his eyes drifting slightly, but there was a weight thrown at the other party, "They are already here." ”
There is no mention of who they are or what they are here for, but both sides know what this means.
Kisuke Urahara stopped what he was doing, and the brim of his hat slanted upwards as he raised his head, casting a shadow, obscure, "Do you want to say these words before or after drinking milk?"
Izawa listened for a long time and didn't find any useful clues, the only thing that was certain was one thing - something happened in the Corpse Soul Realm, and Kisuke Urahara was likely to have something to do with it. Moreover, he finally recalled the identity of Kisuke Urahara, the captain of the 12th team of the original corpse soul realm!
It's been a hundred years since Izawa last left the Corpse Soul Realm, and Kuchigi Hakuya adopted a girl in an accident. Maybe it's too much longing or some other reason, he changes the girl's name to Rukia Kuchigi and makes her his sister.
Rukia Kuchigi is different from Izawa, she is gifted and intelligent, and she graduated from Mao Lingshu Academy and went directly to the Thirteenth Team to train.
Recently, Rukia Kuchigi was assigned to the town of Kuraza on a mission, and while chasing Void, she met a boy who could see the Void and the Grim Reaper entity, Ichigo Kurosaki. In the process of fighting with Void, she was injured and couldn't compete with Void, so she reluctantly passed half of her Death power to Ichigo, but as a result, almost all of her spiritual power was taken away by Ichigo. Yugogo defeats Void, and Rukia Kuchigi loses the power of the Grim Reaper, so she can only take a repositorial body from Kisuke Urahara's shop, and stay in the human world until her power is restored.
It is illegal for the Grim Reaper to pass on his power to humans privately in the Corpse Soul Realm and will be executed. And this day finally became a reality when Shikaedein came to deliver a message to Kisuke Urahara on the night of the day.
Kuchigi Hakuya and Asai Koiji, the childhood sweethearts who wandered in the corpse soul world with Kuchigi Rukia and the current vice captain of the Rokuban team, came to the world together, ready to take Kuchiki Rukia back to the corpse soul realm to be judged.
Rukia Kuchigi was now living with Ichigo Kurosaki, and she vaguely felt that danger was approaching. In order not to bother Kurosaki Ichigo, she left a simple note while there was no one at home, and then ran out of Kurosaki Ichigo's house in a hurry, but she didn't want to have two grim reapers, watching her from afar.
"No, it's really in the righteous remains?!" The man squatting in mid-air raised the goggles on the bridge of his nose, revealing a handsome smile like a bright sun, "Rukia, I've found you!"
got up and flew to the telephone pole at the end of the street with a "whoosh", looked at the girl running hard below, and raised the arc of his ambition: "Actually, you know it very well." ”
Satisfied, seeing Rukia Kuchigi's panicked face, Koiji pulled out the sharp blade on his waist, "Forget it, let's put it another way, it's good that you stay here long enough that you can live so long!"
As he spoke, he leapt from the sky and swung his blade at Rukia.
"Koiji!" Rukia Kuchigi also recognized the man who had landed rapidly in the night sky, and couldn't help but take a step back.
The Soul Slaying Knife, which was infused with a large amount of spiritual power, burst out with a dazzling light the moment it slashed into the ground. Quickly converging into a pillar of light, forcing Rukia to retreat frequently. The skirt swayed with the powerful air current, and the concrete floor was visibly cracked into pieces.
"It's Rukia's name. Koiji withdrew the Soul Slashing Knife, his eyes bursting with anger, and he raised his hand to point at Rukia, "You have such a human-like expression!
Rukia clenched her fists, forcibly suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, and argued: "What are you talking about! Even if my body is a righteous corpse, it does not mean that I have been assimilated by humans and do not know the duties of the god of death!"
"It's humans who have an impact on you!" "Koiji clearly saw Rukia's expression stunned, and he said clearly, "You are from Ruken Street like me, and after being adopted by the Kuchiki family, have you forgotten your original vow?! After so many years, you still haven't become the elite of the Grim Reaper!"
Rukia Kuchigi opened her mouth to say something, but found that the other party seemed to be right, and she couldn't defend herself. Slowly lowering his head, the air around him felt like it was getting colder.
The moonlight is bright and the breeze is caressing.
The white cherry blossoms drift by from nowhere, and the air is filled with a cold fragrance.
This kind of scene -
Thinking about it for the immortal Rukia, Koiji rushed behind her and said, "Yes, Captain Rottenki!"
Rukia's body stiffened instantly, and her eyes overflowed with fear and panic, even more than when she saw Koiji before. She forced herself to turn back, and sure enough, she saw the figure of the man she was most in awe of.
There is no feather weaving body, and the aura of Kuchigi Hakuya, who is only wearing a black death suit, is amazingly strong. He looked indifferently at Rukia Kuchigi, as if he were looking at a prey to be captured. The spiritual power around her body increased instead of shrinking, forcing Rukia to retreat step by step, and she couldn't help but tremble.
The passing cars reflected Kuchigi Hakuya's grim face, his eyes calm, and his gaze stabbed at Rukia like a sharp blade.
"Hakuya...... Big Brother ......"

In a moving car.
Izawa leaned weakly back on the upholstered seat and looked out the window at the dark sky, "It's all so dark." ”
Today, Yoichi and Kisuke Urahara chatted for a long time, and when the chat was over, Kisuke Urahara remembered to take Izawa to the hospital for treatment.
Due to the large size of Ize's wounds, ordinary treatment was ineffective, and only the hospital's machinery and equipment could maintain and repair his wounds. So every time Kisuke Urahara would make an appointment with the hospital early, and then take Izawa for treatment.
It's just that I went late today, and it was already dark on the way back.
Kisuke Urahara turned up the air conditioner in the car again, and he smiled in the rearview mirror, "I'm really sorry today, I was so happy chatting with my friends that I didn't take you to the hospital in time." ”
Izawa shook his head, not caring about going to the hospital. In fact, even if he used his own power, he would be able to recover little by little.
"That's your best friend, and you're having a great time. ”
Not at all surprised that Izawa knew about him and Yoichi Shikaedein, although Izawa was in the house, he did not lose his basic hearing, and it was not surprising that he could hear it.
"It's an old friend, and we'll get together when we have time. ”
Seeing the other party's answer of choosing to avoid the serious, Ize did not continue to ask. At this time, he looked at the diagonal front of the car, and the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually deepened.
"Mr. Urahara, you see something very interesting going on there. ”
Urahara Kisuketsu Guò looked in the rearview mirror at the place Izawa was talking about, and his eyes changed slightly.
・
"It is a serious crime to pass on the power of the god of death to humans! It is already very merciful not to hand it over to Xing Jun to carry it out, but to appoint us forward. So," Koiji's Soul Slashing Knife pointed at Rukia, who was half-propped up on the ground, frowned and continued, "Sue me where he is." ”
Behind Koiji, the glasses boy lying on the ground squirmed with difficulty, and he took a deep breath "You...... What are you going to do?"
"Of course, kill the person who took away the power of the god of death!" "Koiji turned around and slowly walked to the side of the glasses boy and raised the soul slashing knife, "But before that, let's make up for the last sword, Exterminator!"
Rukia's eyes widened, obviously thinking of stepping forward to stop her, but she couldn't control her movements, and she froze in place.
Lying on the ground, the glasses boy Ishida Yuryu is Rukia's classmate at school, and he is also an exterminator with the ability to destroy the void. He happened to find out that Rukia was attacked by Koiji, but after a few moments of battle with Koiji, he was defeated and fell to the ground injured.
Originally, it was to help herself, but Rukia didn't want to see Ishida Yuryu die because of herself. She tried to stop it, but her body stood aside without obeying the command. Seeing the moment when Koiji wielded the Soul Slashing Knife, Rukia could only shout, "Stop!"
Although she shouted, with her understanding of Lianji, it was impossible for this knife to stop. I closed my eyes and didn't dare to look at the tragic picture that followed, and at the same time, my heart swelled with infinite remorse and hatred.
If only she hadn't stayed in the first place, or if she had been attacked by the Void, she should have insisted on taking it herself, rather than transferring her power to Ichigo, so that everyone might not get into trouble......
The expected blood did not come true, and Rukia was mentally prepared, and when she opened her eyes, she found that Kisuke Urahara was standing next to Ishida Yuryu, holding a black stick in his hand, blocking Koiji's attack.
Koiji glanced at the stick that was still intact after striking at his soul slashing knife, and stood up straight again: "Hey, I said you don't interfere in official business, okay!"
Kisuke Urahara, asked Rukia to help Ishida Yuryu to sit down on the railing, squinted and smiled, "Killing humans is also official business? ”
"If he doesn't come to make trouble, how can I do anything to him!, what's more," Koiji glanced sharply at Ishida Yuryu, "The Exterminator shouldn't have lived in this world in the first place. ”
Ishida Yulong, who had just leaned on the railing to catch his breath, immediately shot back angrily when he heard this: "The ignorant Grim Reaper can't fight at all, and he wants to change the stability of the world by himself, haven't you thought about the consequences of not being able to do anything?!"
"You!" was about to step forward, but was interrupted by Bai Ya, who had been silent from the beginning.
Kuchigi Hakuya frowned deeply and looked at Kisuke Urahara, "Why did you appear here?"
Yu Guang glanced at Rukia who was not too surprised by Urahara Kisuke's appearance, and Hakuya's expression became even more stern.
Although there is no particularly obvious change in the expression of the paralyzed face, but after knowing Bai Ya for hundreds of years, Urahara Kisuke certainly knows what he is thinking, shrugged and explained: "Don't get me wrong, I just sent a kid to the hospital for treatment and just came back, and I happened to meet you, and I didn't know anything about it beforehand." ”
In order to prove his credibility, Kisuke Urahara raised his hand and pointed to the car parked on the side of the road, "Oh, that kid is still in the car waiting for me to go back." If you don't believe me, you can check it out. ”
