A Dimensional Journey Begins with the Dragon Clan

Chapter 552
But soon the cranky soul felt a chill behind his back, as if a thorn was on his back.

"Hey, look at my dog ​​eyes and smelly mouth, dog paws! Shut up, shut up and thug!"

Hun wished he could temporarily block all his five senses.

Is this something he can watch and talk about without paying?It's better to act like nothing happened.If I let my elder brother know that I dare to think about things behind my back, I think I can give him all the skins...

"Why are you running so fast all of a sudden!?"

Kuchiki Rukia gasped heavily and grabbed Kurosaki Ichigo's running figure.

Her body ability is stronger than that of most ordinary humans, and Kurosaki Ichigo couldn't escape this category when he was still a human.

"..."

Kurosaki Ichigo, who was caught by Kuchiki Rukia, knelt down on the ground as if deflated.

"Actually... the one who killed my mother... was me..."

After seeing that familiar figure just now, the memory in my mind seemed to be awakened and became clearer.

"If I hadn't been meddling in other people's business...Mom probably wouldn't have been killed by me!
Since I was a child, I have been able to see ghosts, because I can see them so clearly, so at that time, I couldn't even tell whether the other party was dead or alive.For this kind of thing, I always laugh it off, thinking it’s no big deal, and even naively show it off to other children as a supernatural power...

Until that day..."

Kurosaki Ichigo could never forget that rainy day when it was pouring.

Like today, it was also June [-]th, when he was nine years old.

wow-

Dark clouds shrouded the white sky, and the rain fell on the ground.

The truck followed the wide road, through the shelter of the dense jungle, to the narrow path where Kurosaki Ichigo and his mother walked.

Water was gurgling in the drainage ditches on the side of the road, and the path full of potholes was soaked by the rain at the moment, and on the opposite side of the road was a river with fast-flowing water due to the rain.

The soil became muddy under the wetness of the rain.

The truck slammed into the narrow path with its hideous monster-like front.

puff--

The splashing rain rushed towards Kurosaki Ichigo's face. If it wasn't for wearing a raincoat, his whole body would be completely soaked by the rain.

"Ichigo, are you alright?"

A gentle voice rang in the ears of the young Kurosakiichi.

"Gee, what a nasty truck."

Kurosaki Ichigo wiped his face while complaining.

"Sorry, let's change it and let mom go outside."

Kurosaki Masaki gently took out a handkerchief and gently wiped Kurosaki Ichigo's face.

"It's okay! I'm going outside!"

Kurosaki Ichigo patted the raincoat on his body, "It doesn't matter if you have a raincoat, so I can still protect my mother!"

"Ah, what a good boy."

Kurosaki Masaki still had a gentle smile on her face, "However, when you can defeat Long Gui, mother will let you go outside~"

"I've already... woo—"

"Hehe..." Kurosaki Masaki laughed and wiped Kurosaki Ichigo's wet face with a handkerchief, making him unable to speak, "What are you talking about? Mom didn't hear."

"I say!"

Kurosaki Ichigo pulled his mother's hand away, "I have been able to beat her once in a while!"

"Okay, okay, Ichigo is the best."

Kurosaki Masaki smiled and touched his son's head, "Wipe it clean, let's go~"

As she spoke, she took Kurosaki Ichigo's hand, with a smile on her face, and continued walking towards home.

Kurosaki Ichigo didn't know what was going on now, but at this moment he was able to look at the mother and child walking in the rain like a bystander.

Everything is so real that it seems to be happening right in front of you, not like a memory at all.

He wasn't sure what power was allowing him to see this, but it didn't seem to matter anymore.

He clearly understood that this was an opportunity, an opportunity for him to truly see everything that happened that year!

The mother and child in front of me are walking hand in hand in the heavy rain, and the end of this rainy road is sadness.

Kurosaki Ichigo stretched out his hand to stop it, and wanted to remind the mother and child in front of him, 'stop now'.

But this is meaningless, because the mother and son seem to be unable to hear or feel his existence, everything in front of him is like a bubble, he is like a person standing in the gap between time, he can only watch all this helplessly.

I can only watch helplessly as my favorite mother goes to death again, step by step.

"..."

Kurosaki Ichigo watched silently as his mother smiled and pulled his young self forward.

That familiar smile once infected him deeply.

Speaking of it, he seemed to have never seen his mother cry or lose her temper.In the past, no matter what troubles he encountered, as long as he saw his mother's smile, he could cast all his troubles to the sky.

Perhaps because he was afraid that the uneasiness in the parents' hearts would affect the children, Kurosaki Masaki faced everything with a smile, even when he finally left.

"I failed to protect my mother..."

Kurosaki Ichigo looked down at his trembling hands, feeling powerless.

He still remembered, in his vague memory, that his father had told him that 'ichigo' meant 'to protect something all the time'.

His only wish was to protect his mother.

Moreover, after making such a swearing promise, in the end, not only failed to protect her, but also killed her mother.

He raised his head and looked at the picture in front of him again.

That is the mother and child walking in the rain.

He knew the final result, but he still watched it intently, as if he wanted to engrave every detail deeply in his mind and never forget it again.

He wanted to see clearly what happened that day.

The rain curtain hanging from the sky connects the river, and the swollen river is like the legendary Santu River that divides life and death, making Kurosaki Ichigo feel extremely fearful and angry, which is in sharp contrast to the fearlessness and innocence in the eyes of the young figure in his memory Compared.

He saw clearly that standing by the river was a girl.

A girl without an umbrella even though it was pouring rain stood blankly by the river as if she was about to jump into the river.

The young figure couldn't tell whether it was a dead person or a living person, but he just greeted his mother, then crossed the road and ran towards the river regardless of obstacles.

At this moment, Kurosaki Ichigo knew that this was the fuse of the tragedy.

He clenched his fists tightly and stared at the scene in front of him, of course he knew what he was thinking at that time.

At that time, he wanted to protect his mother at first, but after having a younger sister, the number of people he wanted to protect increased. In order to better protect them, he insisted on going to the dojo to exercise and want to become stronger.

At that time, he was young and in the second grade, like the protagonists in those cartoons, once he had power, he thought of 'to protect more people'.

So, tragedy happened.

The young figure rushed towards the girl by the river.

His mother followed behind him, shouting and chasing after him, but it was not like the trucks passing by the adults in his memory.

At that time, the young Ichigo had no idea what was happening behind him because his back was facing his mother and it was raining heavily.

But this time, Kurosaki Ichigo saw it very clearly.

He saw the girl standing by the black side turned her head when the young figure was about to run to her.

She is laughing.

What kind of smile is that?
It made people feel the coldness from the heart. He was obviously smiling, but it made him feel extremely scared.

The girl's lips moved slightly, and time seemed to slow down countless times in Kurosaki Ichigo's eyes. Even if he couldn't hear the other party's voice, he could still judge the words spoken by the other party from the shape of the lips.

"Hooked."

Finally, Kurosaki Ichigo understood that it was the smile that a hunter would only show when he saw his prey stepping into a trap.

There was a suffocating killing intent in that smile.

The blood color dyed the rain curtain red in the next moment.

What followed was monstrous rage.

Another killing intent shot up into the sky, as if it wanted to tear the gray-black rain curtain apart!

"..."

Kuchiki Rukia stood silently in front of Kurosaki's bodyguard, listening to him quietly.

For some reason, Kurosaki Ichigo's voice became smaller and smaller, as if lost in thought, lying on the ground in a daze.

After a while, Kurosaki Ichigo stood up.

"Wait here for me obediently."

After leaving these words, Kurosaki Ichigo turned and left.

"This……"

Kuchiki Rukia stared blankly at Kurosaki Ichigo's back as he turned and left, cold sweat dripping from his forehead.

Such a strong sense of oppression!

This guy obviously hasn't come out of his body yet...

She was overwhelmed by Kurosaki Ichigo's sudden courageous aura, which was an anger and killing intent that came from nowhere.

"Exactly... what happened?"

Kuchiki Rukia who was stunned in place was puzzled.

Kurosaki Ichigo didn't finish speaking, and she still hasn't figured out what happened.

but……

"He cried?"

When she saw Kurosaki Ichigo's tears that stayed where they were and fell to the ground after he left.

Only then did she realize that she was an idiot.

Perhaps because of being a god of death, she has long been a little numb to things like 'death'. A person's death is nothing more than a transfer process from this world to the world of corpses and souls. As long as they don't become void, it's no big deal .

But seeing Kurosaki Ichigo's appearance at the moment, she realized that this was not the case.

In people's eyes, death is a very sad and sad thing.

She who only thinks about 'virtual' first, is simply a jerk!
But... what is this murderous intent and anger coming from nowhere?

Kuchiki Rukia started to panic.

She thought that this guy would kill her because he said something wrong, right?
In front of the grave of the Kurosaki family.

Kurosaki Ichigo gently placed the flowers for the grave in front of his mother's tombstone.

The anger in his eyes seemed to fade away, he clasped his hands together and said to himself, "Don't worry, Mom, I will catch it."

Now he finally understood the truth of that rainy day.

Kuchiki Rukia's guess was right, the real murderer who killed his mother was Xu!

And... just now, he saw it again.

You can't read it wrong!

On a higher place where no one was paying attention, in mid-air with no support, Xuan Hao looked down at the figure standing in front of the tombstone.

Feeling the anger and killing intent coming from the opponent, he couldn't help showing a faint smile on his face.

"The fun is about to begin."

······
"Please...don't cry, okay?"

A helpless voice came from the hillside.

After worshiping his mother, the wanderer secretly came to this deserted place to cry.

And Xia Li, who was worried about her accident, comforted softly, "You can't cry every year when you come here? We are already 11 years old, we are adults! Don't let those unreliable father and brother see jokes." ..."

"Hmm...I see...Whoahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah..."

Youzi understood while continuing to cry.

"Ugh……"

Xia Li on the side sighed, her face full of helplessness.

"Okay, it's almost time to go back, otherwise dad and brother should be worried."

With that said, she got up and looked around, wanting to confirm the way back.

But as soon as he looked up, he saw a petite figure standing on the edge of the cliff.

It was a girl who looked younger than them, standing on the edge of the cliff, precarious.

"That kid... why are you standing there?"

Xia Li asked subconsciously.

"Ah? Who are you talking about?"

You Zi was a little puzzled.

"..."

Xia Li was silent for a moment.

It's no secret that she can see ghosts, everyone in the family knows, but except for the elder brother who can also see ghosts, Dad thinks they are playing a game at all, and Youzi just cooperates with hesitation.

In general, only she and her unreliable brother in the whole family seem to be able to actually see ghosts.

So now... Youzi can't see the girl on the edge of the cliff, which means it's a ghost.

"Oh... it's really troublesome."

Xia Li supported the peaked cap she was wearing on her head, and complained as she walked towards the edge of the cliff.

"Youzi, wait for me."

"Ah? Oh, where are you going?" Youzi looked puzzled.

"Don't worry, I'll be right back."

Xia Li waved her hand and said indifferently.

It seems to be a good tradition of the Kurosaki family to like to be nosy, not only Kurosaki Ichigo, but his sister is also an enthusiastic guy with a knife mouth and a tofu heart.

"Probably some poor lost guy wandering here..."

While Xia Li was thinking this way, she approached that figure.

Perhaps it was because the memory of encountering Xu was replaced, in her impression, ghosts are not scary things, they can communicate like living humans, and they are not harmful.After all, all the ghosts she met were like this, and because the family opened a clinic, in fact, there would be ghosts visiting their house from time to time, and she was used to it.

"Hey, what are you standing on the edge of the cliff and staring down at?"

After getting closer, Xia Li asked while scratching her neck.

"If you get lost, you can go down the mountain road over there. This is a cemetery, and there is a temple at the foot of the mountain. The monks inside can probably help you..." Speaking of people who can help these lonely ghosts guide the way, she can imagine Only the monks in the temple arrived. Although she didn't know if it would be useful, she still kindly reminded her out of kindness.

But... the girl standing on the edge of the cliff didn't seem to listen to Xia Li's words at all, but turned her head with interest, with a weird smile on her face.

"Oh? You...can you see me?"
