hero?it must be me

Obviously that's all true.

"So, what do you think?"

Glancing at Kisuke, Zheng Qi took a sip of the amber tea and turned his gaze to the pit.

"Row."

"Thank you so much! I just like your straightforward personality!"

Ignoring Kisuke who was laughing, Zheng Qi looked at the deep pit.

(What do you think it tastes like?)

[Analyzing the information you provided and the various information intercepted from this world, compared with ordinary spirit bodies, gods of death, and Quincy masters, there should be a special kind of "Hazardous substances" - of course, this is probably only for ordinary spirit bodies, gods of death, and Quincy masters. 】

Lying on top of Zheng Qi's head, Magic Code squinted his eyes and answered in Zheng Qi's mind.

[If we can conduct research on the real and the cheap, we will be able to draw more accurate conclusions. 】

(If you are interested, we will just find a chance to go to Xuquan.)

[That's not a small risk. 】

(Just tell me are you curious?)

【…】

(Then let's go.)

Mo Dian closed her eyes and said nothing, only her long, fluffy tail hooked and rubbed against Zheng Qi's neck.

Kisuke on the side looked at this person and cat, and he also had uncontrollable curiosity in his heart.

Are the gatekeepers of hell all like this configuration?

As a scientific researcher, it is not surprising to be curious about the unknown that is close at hand.

However, Kisuke Urahara is also very clear about his position.

No matter how curious he is, he will not do anything unwise at this time.

There are too many mysteries about Zheng Qi.

As for what Zheng Qi said to him and Ye Yi, Urahara Kisuke naturally remembered them all, but it was impossible to believe them all.

So in Kisuke's eyes, Zheng Qi was full of unknowns.

But there is only one thing, Kisuke can see it clearly.

That means Zheng Qi is very strong.

Kisuke is so strong that he doesn't want to take risks.

For today's Kisuke, as long as he understands this, it is enough.

In this way, under Ichigo's repeated troubles, time continued to pass by every minute and every second.

Just when Ichigo failed to climb again and fell back to the bottom of the pit, wondering how he could climb up, he noticed a figure running down the rock wall amidst the light cast by the cave entrance.

It's too much.

He was carrying a large plate of fruit and landed in front of Ichigo.

"I figured you'd probably be hungry too."

Hearing Jinta's words, Ichigo who fell on the ground sneered.

"What nonsense, don't you see that there is still a long piece of my chain?"

Unexpectedly, Jinta, who had a smirk on his face, suddenly stopped his smile when he heard the words, put down the fruit in his hand with a straight face, and stood up.

"In this kind of pit, it's normal to not know the time."

He looked down at Ichigo and said, "It has been 70 hours since you fell here, and some weaker spirits may have become empty by this time."

While talking, Jinta turned around.

"Just to remind you, the last erosion is far more violent than any previous one."

As soon as the words fell, I saw the only remaining piece of causal chain on Ichigo's chest, shaking violently.

Do not!

It was the entire remaining chain that was transforming into a strange mouth with a radicle!

As Jinta said, it is different from the transformation and erosion from a small part of the fracture before, this time, the entire remaining chain is alienating!

In other words, this time, really, is the last time!

"—Wooahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

Chapter 428 Chapter 5: The young man is really iron

Zheng Qi was observing Ichigo who was crying at the bottom of the pit.

A turbid white substance is gushing out from the seven orifices of Ichigo, and in just a few seconds, a small half of a mask with a strange shape has been formed on Ichigo's head.

Zheng Qi knew that it was one of the symbols of emptiness.

This means Ichigo is indeed transforming towards Hollow.

"Hey, hey - he'll really turn into a void if this goes on like this!"

Jinta, who immediately climbed back to the ground immediately after Ichigo's mutation, turned his head and looked at the scene at the bottom of the pit.

After staring at Ichigo for a moment, Xiao Yu raised his hand.

"and many more."

"But, Mr. Kisuke, if you don't save him again!"

"Don't worry, look carefully."

Glancing at Zheng Qi who was not moving, Urahara Kisuke said in a deep voice: "Generally speaking, when degenerated into a void, the spirit will first explode and then recombine."

"But look at him, the order is messed up."

Kisuke closed the folding fan, pointed at Ichigo and said, "The body is still intact, but a mask has started to appear on the head."

"It means he's still fighting."

"At the same time, this also means that he still has the possibility of becoming the god of death..."

Kisuke, who always had a smile on his face, said to Xiao Yu and Jinta with a blank face at this moment: "This is a very crucial step."

"There is still time before he really becomes virtual, just wait a little longer... just wait a little longer."

"——What do you think? Mr. Zheng Qi."

Hearing Kisuke asking himself, Zheng Qi nodded slightly, without turning his head.

After getting the answer he wanted, Kisuke leaned on crutches with one hand, and stared at Ichigo at the bottom of the pit with sharp eyes.

"Then let us wait and see."

Now, apart from Ichigo at the bottom of the pit, there is only Tesai who has guarded Ichigo from the beginning.

He is the insurance left by Kisuke.

For a moment, in the entire underground training ground, except for Ichigo's hissing, there was no other sound.

Everyone is paying attention to the changes in Ichigo.

Listening to Ichigo's more and more mournful howling, Jinta and Xiaoyu only felt that passing each second became longer.

And at the bottom of the pit, when Ichigo, whose head mask became more and more complete, faintly wanted to break free from the bondage on his hands, Tiesai, who had been sitting in a corner without saying a word for seventy hours, also Can't help showing a dignified look.

"Boss, I don't think it's going to work."

He raised his hands: "I'm going to change to a block type!"

After saying that, without waiting for Kisuke above to respond, Tie Zhai inserted his arms into the rock face below him.

"Bound Road 99 No. [-],

Swastika! "

"First song, stop tension!"

"Second song, Bailianshu!"

Accompanied by Tiesai's display, first a white bandage formed by spiritual power suddenly rolled up from the ground, wrapping around the roaring Ichigo like a wave, and then, several specially made spikes pierced into Ichigo's body from all directions , Accurately hitting many important tips in Ichigo's body to support the operation of spiritual power!

"Wait——Tie Zhai! He will really die if this trick continues!"

Jinta exclaimed.

"This is also a helpless thing, at least before he really completely becomes empty..."

Having said that, Tie Zhai clapped his hands together in front of his chest.

"Finale! Swastika Taifeng!"

Above the deep pit, a huge stone tablet engraved with the swastika was suddenly formed, and it was about to fall towards the sealed Ichigo at the bottom of the pit!

Zheng Qi, who was staring at Ichigo, raised his chin slightly.

On the side, Kisuke lowered his face, and his eyes under the shadow of the brim of the hat were vaguely shifting to Zheng Qi's body, and the fingers holding Hong Ji's knife handle began to exert strength quietly.

【This Tiezhai is really not ordinary. 】

The magic code lying on Zheng Qi's head looked at the stone tablet that started to fall vertically.

The so-called ghost way, to a certain extent, can be said to be the spells used by the gods of death.

So for the Grimoire, this is like [magic] from another world.

It is normal to be interested and to see some clues.

And at the moment when the huge stone tablet was about to hit Ichigo——

"Long!!"

Bursting spiritual pressure and boiling spiritual power, like magma bursting from a crater, spewed out from the bottom of a deep pit.

Kisuke immediately protected Yu and Jinta.

Zheng Qi and Mo Dian raised their faces together.

I saw a golden ball of light rushing out of the deep pit with this burst of spiritual power, and after turning several times in mid-air, it crashed into an open space not far from Zheng Qi and the others.

"What...something ran out..."

Jinta grumbled.

Everyone looked at the smoke and dust in unison.

Dark and pale.

A deadly costume and... a fake mask?

Simultaneously possessing the symbols of death and emptiness, this figure standing in front of everyone's eyes is...

Before everyone could speak, the weird figure suddenly reached out and grabbed the handle of the knife on his back.

This shock shocked Jinta and Xiaoyu and put on a fighting stance.

However, after the other party pulled out the hilt, there was nothing but a broken knife with almost only the hilt in his hand.

Immediately, under the gaze of everyone, the other party directly smashed the mask on his face with the handle of the knife.

"call!"

Kurosaki Ichigo, who revealed his true face, let out a long breath.

"Congratulations! You successfully passed the second test and regained the power of the god of death! Oops! What a beautiful Jedi - Oops!"

Before Kisuke could finish his sentence, Ichigo and Ichihiel, who rushed up in two or three steps, beat the second half of the sentence back into his throat.

"Noisy!"

Seeing Assistant Xi fall to the ground covering his face, Ichigo gritted his teeth and said, "Let me know what other tests you have to do! Don't pour out like toothpaste, which requires crowding!"

He shouted angrily: "Since I promised to have special training, I will never give up halfway. Don't make it seem like I will back down if you say so!"

"...Well, this is indeed because I underestimated you, and I have to apologize to you, Mr. Kurosaki."
