Alchemist in Death

Chapter 328 Justice of Action

In the blink of an eye, another week passed. On this day, Ichigo and Rukia still went to the Urahara store together directly after school.

At the school gate, Ariza Ryuuki and Inoue Orihime stood together. Watching their leaving figures, Ryuuki frowned and said to Inoue on the side: "Recently, they seem to have been going back together.

"Yes, brother and sister, isn't this quite normal?"

Long Gui looked at Inoue's chest, then at her head, and rolled his eyes.

"Why don't you have a brain? Do you really think they are brother and sister?"

"Isn't it? Their surname is Kurosaki." Inoue looked at Long Gui in confusion.

"...Rukia said that she was Ichigo's cousin that day, right?"

"correct."

"Do your cousins ​​have the same last name as you?"

"Um... isn't this a distant relative? It's still possible. I think you're just overthinking it."

Arisawa Ryuki stroked his forehead, and said no more, this guy is either pretending not to see it, or he is really stupid. Of course, based on her understanding of Inoue, it is probably the latter...

Shaking their heads, the two stopped talking about this issue, but went home together. Recently, they don't know what's going on, and there are frequent car accidents, and they often crash into houses or even roads. A shadow appears, and it feels safer to walk together.

Although if the two of them go together, it's probably buy one get one free...

But, it’s better than being alone, right?
Fortunately, their current spiritual power is not high and they have not attracted Xu. Apart from Inoue being unlucky as always and bumping into each other from time to time, nothing much happened.

"Goodbye, see you tomorrow."

"Well, be careful on the road. See you tomorrow." Inoue and Long Gui waved and walked home.

On the way back home without any danger, Inoue glanced at his brother's photo, smiled slightly, clenched his fists, and then began to wash vegetables and cook.

However, what she didn't notice was that with her move, there was a greater commotion on a level that she couldn't observe now. It was almost unbearable...

In the corner of the room, Nicholas looked at the increasingly violent Inoue Hao, and narrowed his eyes slightly. At this time, Inoue Hao could be said to be the last step away from Xu, his lower body completely turned into a snake body, and the mask on his face It also begins to emerge and become virtual, which is possible at any time.

And when the time comes, Hao Inoue, who has become a ghost, will be the first to kill Orihime Inoue, whom he valued the most during his lifetime.
This is one of the disadvantages of staying in the present world for a long time after death. It will be slowly eroded by various negative emotions and slowly lead to degeneration. Especially now, Daxu will invade the present world from time to time, making those who stay in the present world Souls are more likely to fall into emptiness.

Just like Inoue Hao, Nicholas remembers that he originally became a Hollow, and part of the factors were that he was surrounded by the Hollow and devoured, and was infected by the Hollow's breath, so he turned into a Hollow so quickly.

But now, without Xu's devouring, Inoue Hao has turned into Xu so quickly. One can imagine how bad the current world environment is.
Seeing Inoue Hao's murderous intention splashing out, Nicholas, who was hiding in the dark, did not take action and was still observing carefully.

He has always had a doubt in his heart, that is, whether Inoue and Chadu's full manifestation technique was brought by Beng Yu, or they had it themselves and were just activated by Beng Yu.

With limited energy, he could only choose one observation between Sadatari and Inoue, so Nicholas naturally chose Inoue. Not to mention that one is a beautiful girl and the other is a strong man. Just from the perspective of ability, Inoue's instant shield Rikka is also perfect. Chado's demon skin.

Reject the power of everything, beyond time and space.
In terms of power alone, this is an existence that can compete with the abilities of the Star Cross Knights and even Youha!

After a while, as Inoue Hao's mask took shape, it also meant that he completely degenerated into a hollow!
Watching him slowly walking towards Inoue Orihime, Nicholas narrowed his eyes slightly and cheered up, but did not take action because in his perception, Ichigo and Rukia were coming here. Obviously, the general situation was the same as in the original work. At about the same time, Lucia noticed something strange about Inoue's body.

The disasters she suffered were not simply due to bad luck.
"what!"

"Canopy!"

Inoue Orihime was slapped against the wall by her tail, and she was completely unconscious, including her separated soul. Just as Inoue Hao was slowly walking towards Inoue, ready to devour her soul, a loud shout rang out. !
"Crescent Moon~Tian Chong!"

"boom!"

A white slash struck directly at Inoue Hao's waist, cutting him in half and sending him flying away!

"Inoue, wake up, are you okay?" After killing Inoue Hao, Ichigo quickly squatted in front of Inoue, put Zangetsu aside, and gently picked up Inoue.

"Kurosaki-kun? Why is this a dream?" Inoue Yuyu woke up from Ichigo's arms, looked at Ichigo in the Death Domination costume in confusion, slowly raised his weak bare hands, and gently caressed Ichigo. cheek.

"Great, you're fine."

"Idiot! You saw it wrong! That is Inoue's soul! Her body is here!" Rukia, who arrived later, quickly walked to Inoue's body, picked her up gently, and checked her injuries. , shouted at Ichigo.

"Rukia-san? Why is she also in my dream? Am I really..."

"Huh? Masaka!" Before Inoue could say the next words, Ichigo's expression changed instantly when he heard Rukia shouting. He looked at Inoue in his arms, and then at Rukia's arms. Inoue, "Is Inoue dead?! You bastard!"

Fierce rage surged from his heart, and the bloodthirsty thoughts in Ichigo's heart, who thought Inoue had been killed by Hollow, were so strong that he called on the Hollow's power deep in his heart for the first time after mastering the beginning!

"Crescent Moon~~Tian Chong!!!"

"Let go of the well~~~"

"boom!"

Before Inoue Hao could finish speaking, a black crescent swallowed him directly, smashing it into pieces and instantly transcending him! 'Is this your friend Orihime?We need to get along well. Finally, come on, I can rest assured that he can care about you so much and leave you in his hands. Goodbye, Orihime'

"elder brother!!!"

Hearing the voice in her heart, Inoue jumped up from the ground and looked around eagerly. Just now, she did hear her brother's voice, but why... couldn't she even see him in her dream?
Inoue, who mistakenly thought he was in a dream, lowered his head in despair. Compared to Inoue, who was disappointed, Ichigo and Rukia on the other side were happier.
"Idiot Yijigu! Didn't I tell you? Don't use virtual power casually! What if you lose control?"

"But, I can't help it when I'm angry~" Ichigo argued stiffly.

"Then don't get angry casually! Do you know! Once you lose to Xu in the battle with Xu, you are finished! Now you have no chance of winning against him!" Lucia yelled loudly. She had a feeling of hating iron for not being able to become steel. She now somewhat understood how Ichiro felt when he taught her the way of ghosts. It was probably worse than this.
"I understand." Ichigo lowered his head and responded softly, then raised his head and looked at Rukia seriously, "But he killed Inoue, I will never spare him!"

"I know, but the problem is that Inoue is not dead, her soul and body are just separated. In a moment, she is watching us."

"Aren't I here, dreaming?" Inoue stared blankly at Ichigo in his Death Boss uniform, Rukia in her school uniform, and her lying in Rukia's arms.
In Ichigo's surprised eyes, Inoue stretched out a hand blankly, grabbed his cheek, and then twisted it hard! ,

"Hi~~~ It hurts!" Inoue squatted on the ground with eyes wide open, looking at Ichigo and Rukia pitifully.

Rukia and Ichigo: "."

"Has she always been like this?" Rukia turned to Ichigo and asked.

Ichigo shrugged, "Just get used to it."

"Alas~" Rukia sighed. Without waiting for Inoue to say anything, she stretched out her right hand to Inoue, who was squatting on the ground with his face covered, and shouted softly, "Come on!"

"Whoo~"

As Lucia shouted, a demonic wind came and blew Inoue's soul back to her body in an instant. Then Lucia roughly treated her injuries and put her on the sofa.

"Okay, it's okay. Tomorrow, she will forget these things. There is some trouble in this house, and it's all your fault!" Rukia glared at Ichigo fiercely, and then headed towards the actual combat location arranged by Urahara. Dash away.

"The situation is urgent, what can I do?" Ichigo shrugged, glanced at the surroundings of Inoue's house, confirmed that the police car was approaching and there was no suspicious person around, and left quickly to follow Rukia.

"Hmph~" Not long after Ichigo left, Inoue hummed softly, slowly climbed up from the sofa, frowned, and rubbed his aching head vigorously.

"Is this a dream? How could you think this is my home?" Inoue looked at the home that was almost in ruins and tilted his head slightly, his mind filled with doubts.

"Inoue!" Before Inoue came back to his senses, Long Gui rushed over and hugged her.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." After saying that, he looked thoughtfully at the ruins that were exactly the same as in the dream. Isn't that a dream?

"Stay at my house for now. It's still too dangerous for you to be outside alone."

"Well, excuse me." Inoue flipped her hair, but she didn't refuse. In other words, she had no reason to refuse. If she refused, she wouldn't even have a place to live.
"Except that the spiritual pressure has become a little stronger, the rest has not changed. Therefore, it has nothing to do with being attacked by the Hollow. The fragment of the Spirit King~ You can't tell without a deep inspection~ Wait for an opportunity, or train directly?" Looking at Helong As Gui slowly left Inoue, Nicholas fell into deep thought.

"Well, don't rush. Let's observe it for a few days, and then stimulate her whole body to see if she can awaken. By the way, I'll also give Lucia a massage. It's been so long, and there's no progress at all. It's really lazy. ~Tsk~ This kind of thing really cannot be left to the world. She is just too kind, woman~sigh~"

Nicholas shook his head and left here. At the same time, he used the power of the gods and ghosts to erase his own traces and put a mark on Inoue to prevent her from having any accidents.

Now he doesn't have the energy to follow up with the other Fullbringers. No matter how he goes on, he may expose himself. After all, he is Yuhabach, and he can't be too careful, so the most important thing at the moment is Stay on top of the well.

Instant Shield Rikka is something that he is currently very interested in.

The next day, Inoue walked up to Ichigo and said with a very natural smile: "Kurosaki-kun, thank you for last night~"

"It's okay, you're welcome. Just raise your hand. Um." Looking at Inoue's smiling eyes and Rukia's look at a fool, Ichigo was stunned on the spot. Was he being tricked?Inoue, unexpectedly has such intelligence! ?

At noon, the place where Brother Cheng fought.

Inoue grabbed the guardrail and looked into the distance, his long orange hair fluttered gently with the breeze~
"Reaper and Hollow?" After hearing Rukia's explanation, Inoue frowned, turned to look at Rukia, hesitated, and asked, "Yesterday, after Kurosaki-san killed that Hollow, I seemed to I heard my brother’s voice, could that Xu be him?”

"It should be him. After Zheng became a Hollow, his first goal was to devour his relatives, because that was what they cared about most before they turned into Hollows. Therefore, after turning into Hollows, they also considered them to be the ones who could best fill their hearts. My own empty things." Looking at Inoue's disappointed expression, Rukia said quickly, "But you don't have to worry, the Hollow killed by the Zanpakutō was actually purified and went to Soul Society, although you should not have Goodbye chance, but he is still alive, which should count as good news."

Inoue looked at Rukia blankly: "Really?"

"Well, and continuing to stay in this world will only make him more miserable. Even more so when he becomes a Hollow. He will fall into endless pain. It is precisely because of this that my teacher said that although the God of Death is not for justice, We fight, but what we do is undoubtedly just.”

"Justice?" Ichigo chewed the word and looked at his hands thoughtfully.

Indeed, although he has not been a Shinigami for a long time, because of Rukia's explanation, he still knows something about the situation in Soul Society. That place is full of intrigues and even the political system is very backward and very feudal. system.

And from Rukia's few words, we can know that the so-called Jing Ling Ting's establishment was definitely not very good, and the Thirteenth Division, which maintains order today, is a whitewashed background of the killer group.

No matter what, it cannot be compared with justice. Extraditing souls and protecting human beings in this world is just to prevent the imbalance of souls from affecting their own world.

It is basically certain that once the constraint of spiritual balance is lost, there is a high probability that Jinglingting will not care about the life and death of humans.

But as Lucia said, no matter what the cause is, in short, killing Xu and extraditing souls are just and correct. Are the others important?
At least to Ichigo, it doesn't matter.
"I found another reason to become stronger~"
