Chapter 124: See You Again (2)
Urahara store.
When Ichigo and Asai Ryoji arrived, they saw that Tsuryo Tetsusai was already waiting for them at the door.
Chadu, Ishida Yuryu and Orihime didn't come with the two, but were left in the school by Ichigo, so as not to have time to react when something happened and cause something regretful.
"Mr. Kurosaki, Mr. Asui, please come in! Everyone is already waiting! He opened the door of the store with a "swish" and made a "please enter" gesture sideways.
"Hmm!" Koiji Asani nodded and walked in.
"Everyone?"
Ichigo was a little puzzled by the words of the Ryo Tetsusai: "Is it a little love?" ”
"Hmmm! Mr. Kurosaki's words are indeed in it! Sholing Tiezhai nodded in response.
"That's it!"
Ichigo rubbed his somewhat stiff cheeks and said, "I don't know what happened this time, even Xiao Ai made it so solemn!" ”
With that, Ichigo also walked into the Urahara store.
――――――――――――
Underground space.
When Ichigo walked out of the pitch-black passage, he saw Ai, Kisuke Urahara, and Yaichi in the form of a black cat, the captain of the second team, Broken Bee, and the captain of the fourth team, Uno Hanari!
"Captain of the Flower Spirit?" Ichigo's face was full of consternation.
"It's been a long time! Mr. Kurosaki. Uno Hanari said with a gentle smile.
"That's it!" Love is impatient with the politeness between the two, and waved his hand and said: "This is the end of the chatter!" Let Asai Koji find you today, there is something serious to do! ”
"Ugh"
Being robbed of love by love, Ichigo couldn't react for a while, but when he came back to his senses, he immediately asked, "What the hell is going on?!" Even you are so solemn?! ”
On his previous trip to the Corpse Soul Realm, Ichigo could be regarded as having seen the kung fu of his unscrupulous brother's scheming!
That's absolutely perfect, the pinnacle of achievement!
Even in such a situation that can be called a dead end under the blue dye, it is understated, but it is hard to plan it from the hand of the blue dye for a long time, and the broken jade that has been snatched back is also a tiger's mouth!
But now, love is so solemn that it can't help but make Ichigo's mood a little heavy!
What kind of serious thing does it have to be for Xiao Ai, who has always been confident, to put on such a serious posture to deal with it?
"Broken bee! Let's talk about the specifics of the matter! ”
Ai didn't pay attention to Ichigo's questions, but turned the topic to the side of the broken bee who was blushing with Yaichi.
"Huh?! Yes! Oh! ”
The broken bee who had been paying attention to Yeyi's body, only then did he seem to have just reacted to what Ai had just asked himself, and he straightened his expression slightly embarrassed, recovering his previous coldness.
"In this area of Kuza Town, there have been a lot of abnormal human deaths recently!" Broken Bee said with a heavy face.
"An unnatural death? What do you mean? "Ichigo was a little confused by Broken Bee's words.
"No matter how humans die, in the final analysis, it is considered a normal death, because their souls still have to be classified into the corpse soul realm after all! However, the souls of those humans who have died recently have not reached the Corpse Soul Realm! And it's not because they haven't been buried yet! It's that even the Technology Development Bureau's all-out search didn't find their souls! This is also known as an abnormal death! ”
"Well, I still don't understand!" Ichigo smiled awkwardly, scratched his head, and said, "What do you mean by that?" ”
"You"
The corners of Broken Bee's mouth twitched weakly a few times, and he looked at Ichigo with a rather hurtful, suspicious gaze, "Are you really brothers with Ai Kurosaki, this rather annoying bastard guy?" ”
"I'm really sorry I'm so stupid!" The corners of Ichigo's eyes twitched wildly. "Do I need to show you the birth certificates of our two brothers?"
"That's it! Don't make a fuss! ”
Urahara stood up at the right time and said, "Mr. Kurosaki, you have to understand!" After death, there is a soul no matter what! Of course, occasionally it will be swallowed by the void! However, this time, it's different! Mr. Kurosaki. ”
"Papapapa~" shook the small folding fan in his hand, and Urahara said mysteriously: "The few people who died, all of them have become dried corpses!" And their souls are gone! However, some remnants of the spirit son were left in the same place. ”
"Then they can't be eaten by something that also has special abilities?" Ichigo said with a blank face.
For Ichigo, this explanation can indeed be explained, after all, he himself has experienced a grandfissure who pretends to be a girl and preys on high-spirited humans!
However, this is not the right answer!
"Whew!"
Ai exhaled a long breath, covered his forehead, and said with "apologies": "I'm sorry! It's my fault for expecting from your wisdom! ”
"Hey! I wouldn't have pretended not to have heard you! Ichigo raised his eyebrows unwillingly.
"The key lies in the remnants of the spirit son!" A trace of inexplicable brilliance flashed on Ai's face, but it was fleeting, so that everyone next to him was unable to catch it.
"If it's nothing, eat those souls! Then, there will definitely be no remnants of the spirit child in the same place! Moreover, do you think that there are a lot of imaginaries with special abilities like grandfissure?! ”
"I can't blame you! After all, you're just a half-baked grim reaper. Love said in a tone of hatred that iron is not made of steel: "It is a creature named Bavent who did it!" ”
"You know I'm just a half-Grim Reaper, hey! Then don't look at me with such hurtful eyes! Ichigo's cheeks couldn't help but tremble, and he complained, "And ah! Baba Winter? What's that? ”
"Bavent is a chain reaction created by the Corpse Soul Realm after the failure of the eternal life research. The explosion caused by the failure of the experiment led to the rapid spread of a large number of mutant spirit children, and accidentally spread to the human world, mixing with some human bodies, thus giving birth to human but non-human life! ”
"Is it human but not human life? Why would they do it? Ichigo asked.
"Why?" As if she had heard some rather funny joke, Love glanced disdainfully at the unnatural crushed bee on her face.
"Hey! Bastard! What kind of eyes are you! Look again, I've blown you away! Noticing Ai's disdainful eyes, Broken Bee raised his fist in annoyance.
"That's it! Broken bees! Ye Yi stopped Broken Bee's actions in a timely voice, and said, "After all, this matter is still the fault of the Corpse Soul Realm in the final analysis!" ”
"You remember it for me! Ai Kurosaki. The broken bee, who was stopped by Yoichi from taking revenge, looked at the fist that was delicate but definitely not easy to mess with, and put down a cruel word hatefully!
"The fault of the Corpse Soul Realm?"
Ichigo muttered, but he had already guessed something in his heart!
"They have human appearance, but they have inhuman strength! That power is even close to that of the Grim Reaper, but they don't have the ability to control spiritual power like the Grim Reaper, so they are regarded as a good meal! Neither can they be recognized by the corpse soul world that created them, nor can they be affirmed by humans. After all, in the eyes of humans, they are immortal monsters. At this point, Ai paused and continued: "He has great power, but he can't control it; Hunted down by death, and regarded as a good meal by 'void', and rejected by humans! None of the three sides are welcome to them! What a pathetic race! ”
"How can the disappearance of spirits have anything to do with them?"
"Hmmm! This can be regarded as a wretched person, and there must be something hateful about it! ”
Love nodded and said, "Let me tell you something!" Bavent actually relies on sucking people's souls to obtain the posture of immortality! And when Bavent sucks the souls of living people, he will also get the power that can affect space! And those spirits that are sucked by Bavent will have dregs left, just as people will always leave crumbs after eating bread. ”
"Breadcrumbs?"
Hearing this, Ichigo twisted his eyebrows, only to feel a churning in his stomach! "Can't you just change the analogy? Damn it! ”
"That's it! It's just a trifle! Don't care! Ai waved her hand nonchalantly, interrupting Ichigo's continued complaints, and said, "If you were them, you would be ruthlessly abandoned by the people who created you, used as food, and feared by humans. What would you do after a millennium of suffering: killed, trampled, ostracized, helpless, helpless, and your companions dying or leaving one after another?! ”
Ichigo couldn't help but fall silent.
"So"
Ichigo's voice suddenly became very dry!
"Ahh They began to suck on the souls of the living, and soon gained the power to influence space! Then, invade the Corpse Soul Realm and begin their revenge! ”
Everyone present guessed what these Bavents were trying to do! In this case, Bavent has only one aim: revenge!
Take revenge on the Corpse Soul Realm that created them, but abandoned them!
"So what should we do next?" Ichigo asked in a deep voice.
Although he is also very sympathetic to what happened to Bavent, this is Kuza Town! And if they are allowed to go down like this, many more people will surely die at their hands! That's all there is to it, and Ichigo can't accept it anyway! So, Ichigo directly asks Ai about her next plan of action!
"Killed, of course!" Love waved his hand downward and made a "cut" gesture, and said categorically: "Their existence has seriously threatened the safety of this world!" And our plan for the next indigo dyeing! So, they must die! ”
"Killed?!"
Ichigo swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and looked at Ai in disbelief who said "kill" so easily, "Is this necessary?" Kill them all? Just beat it, right?! ”
"It's just childish! Obviously two brothers, why are you so indecisive! There is no such thing as Ai Kurosaki's decisiveness at all! ”
The crushed bee on the side said hatefully.
She can't deal with Ai Kurosaki, but if you want to deal with this Kurosaki Ichigo, she can do it!
Hearing this, Ichigo smiled bitterly.
Broken Bee's words reminded him of the things he had been trying to forget since he returned from the Corpse Soul Realm!
Love is in the corpse soul world, but he mercilessly slaughters Aizen's subordinate, the captain of the Jiuban team, Dongxian!
"Don't you think it's strange? In the past, Bavent had always lived in the present world, and he had always been at peace with the humans in the present world, why did they start to take revenge on the Corpse Soul Realm now?! ”
"Is this because of indigo?"
Ichigo's brows furrowed, and he suddenly said as if he remembered something. "That guy started playing harassment tactics in order to buy himself enough time! He's planning to leave us with little energy to prepare for the decisive battle with him in the winter! ”
"Cut! I can't see it, you're not really stupid! ”
With a "I'm upset" expression, Broken Bee turned his head away.
Indeed, whether it is to protect the safety of the human beings in this world, or to keep the Corpse Soul Realm stable, to be able to have enough energy to prepare for the winter decisive battle, or to eliminate an unexpected variable that is very likely to strike a blow against one's side, these Bavent, who are similar to the existence of time bombs, must die!
Under the premise of dealing with indigo dyeing, any obstacle must be resolutely eliminated!
