Ichigo Kurosaki struggled to get up, but the injuries on his body made him breathe in pain.

"Even this level of emptiness can hurt you, are you considered a god of death?"

The voice behind him rang out again.

"What are you talking about?!"

Kurosaki Ichigo gritted his teeth.

Even though he had just rejected the Grim Reaper's request to become a proxy Grim Reaper for her.

But when he heard this, he was still slightly angry in his heart.

"Who the hell are you? Why do you know my name? ”

"I ......"

The man said coldly, "It's a man who hates death." ”

"What?"

"Don't you understand? I hate you, Ichigo Kurosaki. ”

(????)

"Don't talk nonsense, tell me, what the hell happened that night? Or is it up to you to tell me, Kuchigi-san? ”

“！”

Kurosaki Ichigo pushed himself up despite the severe pain on his body, and saw Rukia Kuchigi, dressed in a school uniform, come out of the corner.

There was also a man wearing the same high school uniform as him, wearing glasses, and looking very sven, standing on a wall.

Rukia Kuchigi stared at the man with a calm expression, "Who are you?" Why is the Grim Reaper known? ”

"Doesn't I know it?"

The man lifted his glasses and smiled lightly: "Are you there too, Chadu?" Don't you want to know? ”

"Chadu?!"

Another sturdy figure stepped out.

Seeing the person who came, Kurosaki Ichigo was obviously even more surprised.

Chadu Taihu is one of his best friends.

But now that his friend, who has always thought he knew the roots, seems to have other identities, Kurosaki Ichigo can't help but be surprised.

"Are you also the Grim Reaper?! Or is it the same as this nasty guy? ”

Chadu Taihu's eye-length thick bangs make him, who is already introverted and quiet, tall and strong, even more gloomy and vicious.

He shook his head and said, "No, I'm not a god of death, I'm not an exterminator, I'm an exorcist warrior. ”

"Exterminator? What is that? ”

Ichigo Kurosaki grimaced and pointed to the man with glasses on the wall, "Are you talking about the guy who likes to squat on the wall like a stray cat?" ”

"Also, what is an exorcist samurai?"

His question was also what Rukia Kuchigi wanted to know.

As a Grim Reaper, there aren't many things she doesn't know in this world.

But these two names made her feel unfamiliar.

Man with glasses: "......" (;?? _??)

"Yes,"

Chadu Taihu nodded, he glanced at the glasses man on the verge of an outbreak, and did not explain what the meaning of the exterminator was, but said: "The exorcist warrior is an exorcist clan that appeared in this world thousands of years ago and specializes in dealing with demons and ghosts. ”

"Demons? What's that?! No, no, you don't have to tell me, I don't want to know! ”(； ￣Д￣)

First the Grim Reaper, then the Void, then the awesome Tennoji Temple, and now there is an exterminator and an exorcist samurai, and a demon......

Ichigo Kurosaki says that his worldview has become a mess and he really doesn't want to hear about these weird things anymore......

"A thousand years ago, during the Warring States Period, there were wars and disasters everywhere on this land, and all kinds of resentment, unwillingness, and pain of human beings...... The world is filled with negative emotions, and many terrible monsters have been born, and these monsters are demons,"

"Void, most of them just like to eat the souls of the dead, and the demons ......"

"Because of all kinds of resentment in life, revenge on human beings is their only obsession, and killing and devouring human beings is their happy ......"

"At that time, although there were many monks and witches with high mana, for a large number of demons, there was no way to play a big role, and it was already rare to be able to protect the peace of a place,"

"At that time, people not only had to suffer from war, but they also had to be afraid of being harmed by demons all the time......

Chado Taihu said in a tone that did not fluctuate, but those who listened could feel the misery in it.

Even the man with glasses and Rukia Kuchigi had heard this kind of story for the first time.

"It was at this time that a group of people suddenly appeared......"

In the undulating tone of Chadu Taihu, for the first time, a mood that seemed to be yearning appeared.

"They have great power, scattered all over the world, specializing in hunting demons,"

"Compared to the number of demons, this group of people is not large, but they have never been fearless, and they use their powerful power to constantly destroy demons and demons......"

Kurosaki Ichigo couldn't help but say, "These people are the exorcist samurai you said?" ”

"It's not." Chadu Taihu is very straightforward and authentic.

“……”

Chadu Taihu said to himself: "Legend has it that they are not from this world. ”

"Not from this world? Could it be like her, from the Corpse Soul Realm? ”

Ichigo Kurosaki pointed to Rukia Kuchigi.

Chado Taihu shook his head: "I don't know, I just listened to what my teacher said,"

"After the demon is destroyed, those people disappear, and no one knows where they went, just as no one knows where they came from,"

"But they left their own power in this world, and the people who got their power inherited their legacy, and slowly, they became exorcist warriors."

Rukia Kuchigi interjected at this time, "Why have I never seen the demon you said?" ”

There was obvious suspicion in her eyes.

It was the man in glasses, who seemed thoughtful, silent on the wall.

"I don't know,"

Chadu Taihu still shook his head very directly: "Most of the demons were wiped out thousands of years ago, and those terrifyingly powerful demons and demons are almost extinct.

"Even if a demon appears, it will be discovered and destroyed."

"......" Rukia Kuchigi is not very receptive to this explanation.

It's just that Chadu Taihu obviously doesn't know much, and she can't ask.

She is only a hundred years old now, and what happened thousands of years ago, even if it is the school of death, the Mao Spiritual Academy, she may not be able to get much information.

"You ...... Did you destroy those so-called demons? ”

The man with glasses standing on the wall suddenly asked.

“……”

Chado Taihu looked at him, as if he knew why he suddenly had such an inexplicable question.

"Demons and voids are not the same,"

"Most of them are produced by people's obsessions, and emptiness is caused by the mutation of people's souls,"

"If you destroy the void, it is equivalent to destroying the soul of a person,"

"But we, even if we eliminate demons, we only eliminate people's obsessions, and ......"

Suddenly, he stretched out his stout right hand and spread it out.

Under the inexplicable gaze of several people, his palm suddenly cracked.

In the crack, the scarlet flesh was shocking.

What's even more terrifying is that this mouth is densely covered with many sharp teeth-like spikes, which is very terrifying.

"Ha~~"

"Chadu, what are you calling me out for?"

This bloody mouth, which was as bloody as some kind of mouthpiece, actually yawned and spoke, causing the three of them to widen their eyes.

"Huh? What a pure spirit! ”

The mouthparts of his palm were like a snake, and they suddenly burst out of his palm, constantly turning between the three of Kurosaki Ichigo, making a very greedy sound.

"Go back."

"Ahh

Chadu Taihu pinched his palm, and the mouthpiece let out a strange scream and retracted suddenly.

Ichigo Kurosaki pointed at him and shouted, "This, this, what?!" ”

"Exorcist warriors, although they have obtained the power of those people, are far less powerful than them, so when they encounter demons, most of them will choose to surrender the demons and take them for their own use, and over time, almost every exorcist warrior will have their own companion demons."

Chado Taihu said calmly.

But in fact, it is not so easy to coexist with demons and ghosts, and the price paid by ordinary people is not affordable.

"Hehe, interesting."

The man in glasses suddenly laughed.

"Death, exorcist samurai......"

"Since they've all met, then ......"

He lifted his glasses and raised his head, the lenses flashed brightly: "Kurosaki Ichigo, Chado Taihu, let's fight it out......"

"Look who...... Better! ”

"In this world, there is no need for the god of death at all, as for you exorcist warriors......"

"It's ridiculous to be in the company of monsters to be destroyed, these monsters that kill humans don't deserve to live in this world at all!"

"If I win, you're going to tell me what happened last night, that ...... What is ......?"

The man with glasses couldn't help but shudder in his heart when he thought of the face and the statue he saw.

It's just a pity that when he traced the past last night, he couldn't find a trace.

only to find out that it belongs to the Grim Reaper...... There is also the spirit of Ichigo Kurosaki.

That's why he's here today.

“……”

Ichigo Kurosaki had a pair of dead fish eyes: "Glasses cat, are you sick?" ”

"Hmph, now you are really not worthy of a duel with me, when you are healed, learn how to use the power of death with her, I will come to you at that time."

The man with glasses turned to Chado Taihu: "Do you want to stay here?" It won't do him any good to meddle now. ”

“……”

Chado Taihu was silent for a while before saying, "Ichigo, then I'll go first, see you at school tomorrow." ”

“……”

(?? _??)?

Looking at the two who left, Ichigo Kurosaki had a question mark on his face.

"You can't even find the void, and to this extent, you don't deserve to be called a god of death at all."

The man with glasses turned around and left a word, jumped over, and disappeared.

"Ichigo, be careful."

Chado Taihu also said something that made him inexplicable and left.

(｀Д′)

"Is this spectacled cat a psychopath!"

Kurosaki Ichigo was provoked with anger, but there was no one to vent to.

"Don't you understand?"

Rukia Kuchigi suddenly held up something that looked like a mobile phone.

"What?"

Kurosaki Ichigo asked, and suddenly there was a cry for help from the side.

"Help!"

The kid suddenly ran out of a wall.

This is not a living man, but a dead spirit.

"Boom!"

The ground beneath that wall exploded into a large crater, and a spider crawled out of it.

Kurosaki Ichigo was shocked: "What's going on?" Isn't this void dead?! ”

"How?"

Rukia Kuchigi didn't seem surprised: "Do you still want to hide now?" ”

"I ......"

Ichigo Kurosaki looked at the child spirit who fled in terror and gritted his teeth.

Rukia Kuchigi smiled at the corner of her mouth, took out a glove and put it on amid Kurosaki Ichigo's puzzled gaze, and when he was stunned, she suddenly slapped a palm on his chest.

"Hey! What are you doing? ”

Then he was like a ghost: "Ahhh Me, my body!? What have you done to me!? ”

He saw "himself" lying on the ground.

Then he found that he was already wearing the black mourning clothes exclusive to the Grim Reaper, the death tyrant suit, and carrying a big knife behind his back.

didn't bother to ask, pulled out the big knife with his backhand, and wanted to rush out.

"What, are you going to save him?" Rukia Kuchigi stopped him.

"Nonsense!"

"Wait a minute!"

"What are you doing!"

Rukia Kuchigi said in a deep voice, "Why did you save him? That kid is just someone who has nothing to do with you, right? ”

Kurosaki Ichigo shouted angrily: "I have no reason not to save me!" He's right in front of me! ”

"Don't be naïve!"

The girl suddenly scolded: "The so-called Grim Reaper means that all spirits must be treated equally, just trying to save what you can help, help what you see in front of you, that is impossible!" ”

"If you save the one in front of you, you have to be enlightened, even if you sacrifice your life, you have to save the consciousness of all the spirits, no matter where you are, you have to do your best!"

The girl stared at him and said in a deep voice, "How is it?" Such...... Do you still want to save it? ”

“……”

Ichigo Kurosaki was silent when he heard this, and then the sound of the child calling for help came into his ears again.

"It's all!"

He cursed angrily, waved his broadsword, and rushed out.

The sword flashed, and the spider void suddenly split into two halves and instantly collapsed.

Ichigo Kurosaki didn't stop, looking around.

Suddenly he turned over and jumped back, holding the big knife upside down, falling from the air, and plunging the knife into it.

"Woohoo!"

With a strange scream, a bright light erupted from the ground, and after a few seconds, it gradually dissipated.

In the distance, the horror on the child's face finally disappeared, and he bowed to Ichigo Kurosaki: "Thank you!" ”

Looking at the disappeared child, Rukia Kuchigi said, "Are you enlightened?" ”

Ichigo Kurosaki took the knife and said: "What kind of enlightenment, I don't care!" I'm going to save him just because...... I want to save him! ”

"You ......"

"Go back!"

……

Tennoji.

Chen also withdrew his "gaze" from Ichigo Kurosaki and several others.

He was still in retreat, and the reason why he paid attention to them was purely because of a sudden whim.

When he saw that Chadu Taihu, he realized that his whim was not because of the "protagonist" of Kurosaki Ichigo, but because of this exorcist samurai who suddenly appeared.

I can't help but feel a little weird.

Does that count...... Was he who changed his fate?

If he didn't guess wrong, Chen Yi felt that when he was condensing the Mani Orb before, the smooth feeling of sudden arrival came from this Chadu Taihu.

From the exorcist samurai clan, to be exact.

That kind of inexplicable smoothness made Chen also feel like the aura of the legendary protagonist.

As if it was arranged, everything went smoothly to death, and the luck was so good that it could turn into good fortune......

Isn't this what the protagonist aura is?

Or, you can use another word: luck!

The ethereal luck is in line with the inexplicable smoothness of the formless and qualitative he feels.

If the guess is correct, it was what he did thousands of years ago, that is, during the Warring States period, that changed the trajectory of this world.

The birth of the exorcist warrior is the best proof of this, and it is likely to be the source of luck......
