"There's no need to trouble Dean Ishida, if I can't cure it, Xiaolong will be in vain." Misaki came out at some point, behind Ichigo and Yuryu, and patted them both on the shoulder.

The two of them were taken aback!

"Ahh Old, old mom? Of course we don't suspect you! Ichigo laughed dryly.

After Yulong was startled, he wondered, "Xiaolong? ”

He hadn't officially come to Ichigo's house before, and this was the first time he had communicated with Ichigo's mother, and ...... He could hear that this "little dragon" should not be called himself!

Misaki still calls "Dean Ishida" in the first half of the sentence, but she is called by a nickname later - after all, she and Ishida Ryuxian grew up together.

It's just that......

For various reasons, in the end, she and Xiaolong were just good friends, and they were still with a certain big pig's trotter.

"Huh? Didn't Xiaolong tell you about it? We've known each other since we were kids. Misaki said it directly.

"You and Ishida Ryuxian ......," Uryu looked at Ichigo's mother in surprise.

"Poof...... Little ghost, you are even crazier than Xiaolong when he was a child. Misaki couldn't help but laugh out loud when she heard Yulong call Long Xian like this.

"Huh? I haven't heard of it either! Ichigo was also surprised - he and Yulong began to get acquainted with each other when this guy challenged himself and attracted a group of virtual competitions, but he didn't know that the two were still "old friends".

Misaki snickered at this time, and deliberately said in a whisper that everyone could hear: "Because Daddy Ling will be jealous!" You can't see it, can you? He's actually very cautious......"

"Huh? Is that so? "Ichigo still thinks something is weird.

Yulong remembered something in a trance at this time - when Yilong was in the Lingting Court, he had spoken a few words to him, and he didn't understand at all, something like "don't make eye contact with other people's wives" or something...... However, Yulong has not seen Ichigo's father now, and naturally he has not been contacted.

Yulong didn't have time to think about it, he was interrupted, only to hear Misaki say: "That little ghost, let's live in our house first, although the environment of Ishida Hospital is better, but seeing that he doesn't have much money, Xiaolong will definitely not welcome it." ”

This was a bit of a ridicule of Ishida Ryuxian's meaning of "asking for money for death", but Yulong just nodded vigorously and agreed.

"Great! I just don't know if Ah Hong has any relatives. Ichigo breathed a sigh of relief at first, but then became a little nervous.

"Relieved" naturally because he could take this kid in first, otherwise he would have to send it to the Urahara store, and "nervous" because he remembered that the other soul hunters seemed to be chasing him......

Is it dangerous when you are not at home? Why don't you send it to the Urahara store?

But finally my mother was generous, and because the store manager Urahara didn't tell the whole truth about the soul hunting issue, Ichigo didn't want to send people to him.

"By the way, what about Dad?" Ichigo wondered.

"Back to work!" Misaki said angrily - after seeing the injured teenager, she guessed a little why the guy was in such a hurry...... At least one of the reasons has already been guessed.

"What? Why is it in such a hurry? Youzi and Xia Li haven't come back yet, have they? He...... Did you go on your own? Ichigo was surprised at first, then a little annoyed, and finally ...... I'm a little worried - isn't this a prison break and being caught?

"Or else? Do you want someone to carry him? Misaki gave her son a blank look.

Then, not to mention that after the wanderer and Xia Li came back, they learned that their father was gone again, and the wanderer was so anxious that he cried, Xia Li was stubborn, but the mood was obviously wrong, and it took a while for Misaki to coax it......

In the evening, the boy named "Ah Hong" woke up, but he wanted to leave without saying goodbye and leave through the window, when it was still raining heavily.

In the middle of the night, Ichigo, who turned over and woke up, found that the window was open, so he chased him out.

Ichigo was worried and also contacted Yulong, Chadu, and Inoue......

In the end, with the induction of "transforming the soul" to the "soul hunting", the four of them finally found Ah Hong who ran away.

After the rain, Hong's originally stable injuries deteriorated a little, but fortunately it was not far from the Urahara store at this time.

The four of them sent Ah Hong to the store manager of Puhara, and finally changed his clothes and boiled hot water for him first......

While Shita and Xiaoyu were busy with their work, Ichigo asked Kisuke Urahara, "Manager Urahara, do you still have something to hide from us about Soul Hunting?" ”

Previously, Urahara only said that "Soul Hunting" was the product of a failed research at the Reinting Research Institute, and that now they suddenly began to suck the souls of living people, and it became very dangerous, but ...... Judging from Ah Hong's situation, it seems that these "soul hunting" are not a unified group?

"I see...... Was this kid hunted by Soul Hunting? Seemingly...... Well, I'll tell you, it's not that I didn't mean not to say it, it's just that it wasn't necessary before, and now it seems that they still have differences......" Urahara muttered at this time.

"What the hell is going on? Would you like to make it clear? "Ichigo hates Riddlers the most.

Urahara looked at Yulong at this time and said, "Actually, Yulong's classmate may already know, right?" ”

"Know what? Soul Hunting? I only vaguely remember that it seemed to have some entanglement with our exterminator...... "After all, the rain dragon has not obtained a complete inheritance, and has not even undergone a formal trial.

"Actually...... The birth of the soul hunt is related to the Exterminator, and the original purpose of the Soul Court Research Institute was to fight against the Exterminator, so the experiment began. Urahara, then.

"Wait, didn't you say last time, a thousand years ago?" Yulong immediately interrupted - in his heart, the war between the Grim Reaper and the Exterminator only happened two hundred years ago, and it was a one-sided slaughter!

"That's right, you listen to me first......," Urahara said, but he didn't mention the holy war a thousand years ago.

Ichigo faintly noticed that Urahara was talking about "fighting" the Exterminator, but he didn't think much about it at this time.

"Originally, the Lingting Research Institute wanted to develop a 'weapon' that could be manufactured in large quantities, but in the end, it obviously failed, and the explosion caused by the failure of the experiment directly destroyed one-tenth of the Lingting!

"The current soul hunt is actually born after the explosion, and the residual power generated by some experiments was scattered into the present world and combined with the human soul...... And what was the period of the present world, did you also learn about it in history class? Urahara asked meaningfully at this time.

"Millennia ago...... Star Dynasty? The four of Ichigo reacted immediately.

Even Chadu, who looks a little silly, and Inoue, who is usually dull in words and deeds, are actually "scholars".

"That's right, and there's a missing part of the history of this world...... At that time, the Xingtian Dynasty actually cooperated with the Exterminator and took in most of the Soul Hunting! Urahara said in shock.

"What?"

Both Ichigo and Rain Ryu were surprised.

If that's the case......

They couldn't imagine that the Star Heaven Dynasty would have any reason to perish!

"Could it be...... Is it because the princes of civil strife also have the support of the Exterminator and the Soul Hunt? Yulong guessed at this time.

"That's not the point, it's the ...... At that time, a part of the soul hunter was rebelled by the god of death, rebelled against the Star Celestial Dynasty, and joined the battle against the Destroyer in this life.

"Originally, I also thought that the soul hunt that was still loyal to the Star Heaven Dynasty should have been completely wiped out, and this time it was only the remnants of the other faction that suddenly began to suck souls, but now it seems that in fact, soul hunting is still two camps......" Urahara was also surprised by this, as if he really just knew.

"Wait, remnants? Shouldn't the rebellious faction win? Don't...... Was it a defeat with the exterminator at that time? Ichigo asked in confusion at this time—after all, the Star Celestial Dynasty did fall a thousand years ago.

Urahara unfolded a small fan at this time, covering his face, as if embarrassed and said, "Really, Kurosaki-san, don't ask about this kind of thing!" ”

"Huh?" Ichigo was still wondering, but Yulong had already guessed something when he saw this.

"So, it's the Grim Reaper who crossed the river and demolished the bridge, right?" Yulong put down his glasses and already understood the reason.

Urahara just looked embarrassed and actually ...... It's none of his business, he doesn't have so much empathy with the nobles, so he said directly: "That's right, the nobles of the Lingling Court at that time tempted them to rebel on the condition that they were accepted to return to the Corpse Soul Realm.

"But...... In fact, the experiment failed, but it blew up one-tenth of the Soul Court, and if you accept them, wouldn't you have to admit that your own decision was a big mistake? So the nobles exiled the Grim Reaper, who was in charge of the experiment, with whom they had negotiated, and then refused to recognize the agreement.

"The power of soul hunting is very restricted by the environment, after being expelled from the corpse soul realm, living in the present world of the low spirit child environment for a long time, their strength is gradually weakening, and they are different from ordinary people, after not having the protection of the dynasty, they have been persecuted by ordinary humans, and there is not much left for thousands of years."

Ichigo obviously couldn't understand this logic of the nobles, and said indignantly: "Those nobles are really excessive! ”

"They can only blame themselves for being deceived and rebelling, right?" Yulong sneered at this time, but then wondered, "But can't they even reproduce normally?" It's hard to have the power of an ordinary person......"

Under the degradation of strength, it is gradually impossible to fight against a large number of ordinary people, and it is just a matter of hiding his identity, but in the case of a long life, the number has been reduced to this extent?

"The soul hunt itself cannot reproduce, although among ordinary people, there are occasional newborn soul hunts born, but their number is destined not to increase, only to decrease, the newborn souls must be fewer than the dead soul hunts, and these newborn soul hunts, if they are not guided, it is easy to be killed when they just reveal their peculiarities." Urahara revealed this.

"In that case, Hong should be the new soul hunter......" Ichigo said suddenly.

It's just that I don't know what faction Ah Hong is, and what kind of faction is going to suck souls now......

Yulong was puzzled: "But...... Even if they are still divided into two factions, there is no need to fight each other, right? Now their enemies are all Grim Reaper......"
