Alchemist in Death

Chapter 7 Soul burial is different from imagination
After crossing the world gate, Ichiro came to the present world a little disappointed. If possible, he would still like to meet Kutu. Based on the records alone, he felt that Kutu's ability to decompose all matter would be very useful for his spirit alchemy. help.

Although in the records of Soul Society, Kutu decomposes and swallows all matter, but in fact, the recorder here made a mistake and fell into a cognitive barrier.

In fact, it has never been proven that Gutu can decompose and devour all matter. Everything in the Soul Society is composed of souls, and if people or things in the world want to come to the Soul Society, they must first be converted into souls. Only the spirit child can pass through the broken world. Therefore, it can be said that from the beginning to the end, Jutu only swallowed the spirit child and did not swallow the material in this world.

Of course, this is just Ichiro's guess. What the specific situation is, we have to actually meet him and try it out.

But looking at it... I guess there won't be much chance in the short term...

Entering the real world, they appeared on a flat grassland. Not far from the grassland, there was a small village.

Ichiro and the others looked around curiously. This was their first time coming to the real world. Although there were people in the class who were not from the Soul Society like Ichiro, but because they came from different eras and places, they were still familiar with the current world. very curious.

"Clap~"

After standing still, the members of Team [-] clapped their hands, attracted everyone's attention, and said, "Next, we will first show you how to bury the soul."

After finishing speaking, he winked, and his teammates immediately understood, and rushed towards the small village not far away, while he began to introduce the main points of soul burial to everyone. Although he had learned it in class, showing up to teach always To be more profound.

After death, the soul is divided into wholeness and emptiness, and wholeness is divided into two types, one with obsessions and the other without obsessions.

The difference between the two lies in the chain of cause and effect that connects the body. Of course, due to death, this chain is broken regardless of whether there is obsession or not.

The difference is that when there is obsession with wholeness, when the obsession cannot be achieved for a long time, the chain of cause and effect will gradually collapse. When the chain of cause and effect completely disappears, wholeness will become empty...

Therefore, what they need to focus on learning is to get in touch with these obsessed people, how to get close to them, gain trust, and fulfill their obsessions. This is a knowledge that can never be finished, and an ordinary sword handle can be used to solve the problem. , nothing to pay attention to.

During the explanation, everyone discovered that the member of the [-]th Division had walked into the village and walked towards a little girl squatting in the corner with her hands on her knees. With a gentle smile on her face, she slowly squatted down. , asked: "Little sister, what are you doing here?"

"I...I'm waiting for dad..."

"Really? Then where is your father? Do you need big brother to help you find him?"

"I have no idea……"

"That's it. Then do you remember which way your father went? How long have you been waiting here? Big brother just came here. Maybe I met him on the road."

Hearing this, the little girl finally raised her head, and asked curiously, "Really? Brother, have you met Dad?"

"!!!"

"!!!"xn
When the little girl raised her head, everyone was shocked and their pupils shrank suddenly. Only the last link of the chain of cause and effect on the little girl's chest was left...

Looking at the expectant gaze of the little girl, the shock in the eyes of the actor faded away, replaced by soft eyes, and he said warmly: "Maybe you have seen him before, which direction is he walking in? What color clothes is he wearing? Are you waiting here? How long?"

"Well, dad is walking that way... I remember dad was wearing red clothes, and mom said they were only worn by warriors... I waited and waited... I waited for four winters... I miss dad so much... …”

Listening to the little girl's gradually blurred voice, the actor's heart tightened. He sighed in his heart and kept a smile on his face: "A red samurai uniform? I think I've seen it before. Wait a minute, I'll call him right away and wait here. Me." After saying that, he patted the little girl's head, turned around and walked towards the team with her expectant eyes.

……

"team leader……"

The leader of the team, B, sighed and said: "This is the only way, let's go."

Ichiro and the others were stunned for a moment, then looked at the leading man b in confusion, not understanding what they meant.

Actor B sighed and explained: "This place was a battlefield a few years ago. The child's father should be dead...and even if he is alive, the child's current condition will not last long. Sometimes, well-intentioned Lies are more important than facts..."

After listening, Ichiro looked thoughtfully at the departing Dragon Tou A, and somewhat understood why he had illusion-like Kidō techniques on his body, but...

There is a more efficient way that the leader has not mentioned, that is to turn the little girl into a hollow, and then kill her with a Zanpakutō, which can also complete the ascension to heaven!

It's just that it's not very humane...

So Ichiro just thought about it. By now, he had somewhat understood the main purpose of the soul burial practice. To put it bluntly, it was to satisfy the wishes of the entire family as much as possible, and then let them ascend to heaven and start a new life in the Soul Society. , as for whether this period of life is good or bad, it is up to the benevolent to decide the wisdom...

It is foreseeable that their next soul burial practice will also be based on this, and it is unlikely that they will come into contact with ordinary soul burial. However, Ichiro still has some doubts in his heart. This seems to be a bit inconsistent with the concept of soul burial class...

While Ichiro was lost in thought, the actor A had already walked up to the tearful little girl, squatted down gently, and held her in his arms: "Sorry, I'm late..."

"Dad...I miss you so much..."

At this time, under the influence of ghost magic, the image of the little girl's partner A has become the father she has been waiting for many years.

Under the current circumstances, there is only one way to fulfill her wish, and the effect of this method is also very significant. After being confused by the illusion, the little girl's heart is satisfied, and the chain of cause and effect that is constantly eroding on her chest slowly disappears. He returned to his original state, and then the dragon set a. Before the little girl could react, the hilt of the Zanpakuto was printed on her forehead.

I whispered in my heart: 'I'm sorry...'

"..."

"..."

In the distance, Ichiro and the others silently watched the little girl ascending to heaven, and their moods changed. For the first time, they had a new view on the profession of death. Although they were still very immature, they took root...

In the next few days, just as Ichiro expected, their goals were all with problems, none of which could be solved by tapping the hilt of the knife.

However, one thing was beyond Ichiro's expectation. During the whole process, none of their students played. It was all handled by the members of Team [-]. Ichiro and the others were only responsible for watching and listening to the explanations of the supporting actor B.

Until the last day...
