Chapter 5: Memory and White Shadows
"Your name is Ichigo Kurosaki?"
It was a teenager about my age who spoke, and the guy named Fei Uchiha was an orphan, but with his terrifying physical qualities, anyone who dared to bully him was taught a lesson he deserved. Because of this, he was also called "Fighting Fan Chang Ah Fei" by those bad teenagers.
But I don't know him well, and the only intersection with him is that a little brother under his command was taught a lesson in front of him after bullying Youzi and Xia Li a few days ago.
He didn't say anything at the time, and even stopped the other people who wanted to do something to me, and now he is coming to settle accounts with me? Thinking about this, I couldn't help but be cautious and look at this guy in front of me vigilantly.
"That's the kind of look in my eyes," he smiled suddenly, and then sat down next to me, leaving me a little confused to guess his intentions, "I like it." ”
"What are you going to do?" I stood up and looked at him coldly, this is where I lost my mother, and whenever I was in a bad mood, I would come here, not knowing how he found me.
"Don't worry," he just smiled, as if not taking my reaction to heart, "I'm not here for any ill will towards you. ”
Damn it, do you think he's got me? Actually talk to me in the tone of this 'second boy in the middle school of the world'!
"I" Just when I couldn't help but want to burst out and punch this guy's handsome face, this boy who always seemed to be lonely and arrogant suddenly said in a low voice for some reason, "I saw the way you protected your two sisters." ”
My breath was suffocated, and then a dense pain hit my heart, like a cold raindrop that day, hitting my body, faintly aching.
It was here, when the rain was hazy, that I had lost my beloved mother, and that no one would comfort me with a smile like a warm sunshine when I was cowardly and sad.
"You must have lost someone who was very important to you," the guy said, looking me in the eye, "that's why you're so desperate to protect the people around you, with the idea of gambling everything in your eyes." ”
"My mother," I exhaled heavily, and for some reason I felt the urge to talk to this guy, "here, to drown in the river to save me." ”
"How did my mother feel when she left?" I couldn't help but recall the situation that day, and muttered, "Even though I knew that I was going to die, I still smiled and blessed me to take care of myself..."
"Since then, I've been determined to do everything I can to protect my loved ones! Even if it costs me my life! ”
"But," I don't know if it was my delusion, there was a hint of indescribable sadness in the guy's voice, "What if you give everything, but you still can't protect your relatives and companions?" What should you do? ”
I was startled and turned my head to look at the young man next to me, he lowered his head, so that people could not see the expression in his eyes, as if he had hidden himself in an endless darkness.
"Answer me, Ichigo, what would you do if you gave everything and still couldn't protect your loved ones?"
Ah Fei's voice gradually became distant, and at the same time, another somewhat familiar man's voice chattered in, but it was impossible to distinguish the specific sentences, but it felt like a general meaning, laughing at me.
The feeling of powerlessness enveloped me, and the feeling of fullness that once ran in my blood vanished, and I could only fall limply to the ground, unable to do anything.
"Hah," the man's voice became clear, and then I remembered that this voice belonged to Kugo Ginjo, whom I regarded as a 'companion', "The plan is really going well." ”
"But there was almost a change," Tsukishima Shukuro's slightly lazy voice said to Kugo Ginjo without hostility, "It's not all smooth sailing." ”
"Cut, this guy has only caused a little trouble, but the exterminator named 'Ishida Yuryu' has suddenly disappeared," Ginjo Kugo's voice carried a hint of smugness that could not be concealed, "But Ah, everything is under control." ”
As he spoke, a big foot stepped on my shoulder, and the force was so great that I could only lie on the ground and couldn't move.
This scene is so familiar, ah, by the way, when I faced the man named Madara Uchiha in the present war, it was Ah Fei who stood in front of him again and again to protect me, who was seriously injured and endangered, and then he was trampled under his feet like this.
But what about now? What about the boy who will talk to you about the new beautiful woman with a smile on his face, the friend who will become handsome when he gets serious, and the companion who will stand firmly by your side no matter who the enemy is? He's dead! Dead at my hands!
But even before he died, he was not concerned about why his brother, whom he had known for many years, would betray him, but about the safety of the person who killed him.
"Heh," I tried my best to brace myself, then turned my head to see Fei lying in a pool of blood, "My name is 'Ichigo', and I swore to protect my companions, but now it seems ridiculous." ”
"Huh? Can you still move, Ichigo Kurosaki," Ginjo glanced down at me, then said with a sneer, "What? Do you have any last words to say? ”
"Ahem," the blood flowed upstream, spilling from my mouth and nose, and before my consciousness sank into darkness, I forced myself to ask:
"What should I do if I give everything and still can't protect what I love?"
"Rukia, it's almost there, isn't it?" It was a tall man with long red hair and strange eyebrows, and the object of his question was undoubtedly the onion-headed girl who was hurrying in front of him, followed by several tall men.
There is no doubt that the man who asked the question was the vice captain of the sixth team, Asai Koji, and the girl was the vice captain of the thirteenth team, Ruki, and the identities of the people behind him were also extraordinary, namely the captain of the sixth team, Kuchigi Hakuya, the captain of the tenth team, Hibanya Fuyushiro, the captain of the eleventh team, Kenhachi, and the eleventh team three Madara Corner.
The purpose of coming to the present world is not only to test and re-endow Kurosaki Ichigo Reaper with the power of the Grim Reaper, but also to destroy the organization 'Xcution' established by the original acting Reaper who defected.
"It's coming, it's coming." Rukia said impatiently, and for some reason, there was a strong sense of uneasiness churning in her heart at this time.
"That's it..."Rukia, who finally arrived at the villa in the suburbs, jumped off the branch first, but the sight in front of her made her stop her unfinished words for an instant.
The magnificent-looking two-story villa was now reduced to a single floor of several half-peeling load-bearing walls, scattered with bricks and stones of various sizes, and even some flesh and blood fragments in between, which could be seen to belong to the Xcution people.
Standing above the ruins was a white figure with a slender and slender white knife stuck in its side.
