Boom, the heavy steel bar was slid down from Chado Taihu's body.
Chatata Taihu patted the dust on his body and straightened his back, as if nothing was wrong. He didn't seem to feel the blood spilling from his head.
"Chadu, are you okay?"
The other two teenagers asked, somewhat at a loss.
"Well...I'm fine."
Chatata Taihu answered his friend's questions calmly as usual.
"Hey, hey, hey! He's bleeding! It doesn't look like everything's okay, does it?"
The two are still worried friends.
But before they had time to check Chadota Taihu's injuries, a sound from below startled them.
"Thank you for saving me."
"!?"
Several teenagers, including Chadou, lowered their heads.
They saw that the caged parrot actually spoke.
"My name is Shibata Yuichi, uncle, what's your name?"
The parrot raised its head, tilted its head and asked Sadatori Taihu in front of him.
"Oh no!? So you said the situation, the parrot spoke?" Shigeo said with a trace of cold sweat on his forehead, "And he said it seriously? The name it just reported...is the name that a parrot should have?"
This parrot became more and more weird in the eyes of several teenagers.
Whether it was the fallen steel bar just now or the human name spoken out of the parrot's mouth, they had no choice but to believe that this was really a cursed parrot.
"that……"
Chadata Taihu leaned down with some embarrassment and looked at the parrot talking to him, "I'm only fifteen years old..."
Yes, although he is tall and slightly anxious, he is still only a fifteen-year-old boy.
"Chadu! Isn't this the point?"
Shigeo looked at Taihu Chawatari with some worry.
As a friend for many years, he could tell at a glance that Sadat seemed to be interested in the parrot at this moment, "You don't...really want to raise it, do you?"
"Um……"
Chatata Taihu leaned over and lifted up the cage. For some reason, a gentle smile appeared on his face, and he responded softly.
"He is indeed an interesting little guy."
From a high place, Xuan Hao looked at the back of Chadu Taihu carrying the cage and leaving, with a faint smile on his lips.
He raised his head and looked at the place where the steel bar had just fallen. There was the residual aura of Xu there.
That parrot was not cursed, it was simply targeted by a void. To be more precise, the 'spirit' residing in that parrot was targeted by a certain void.
It is true that talking parrots are rare, but such intelligent parrots do not exist at all. The tone of this parrot's speech just now was exactly the same as that of a human being, and it even said a human's name. No wonder it made several teenagers feel strange.
It seemed that the boy Chadata Taihu noticed something, so he decided to adopt this parrot.
What Xuan Hao admires the most is that this kid shouldn't be able to feel anything. Whether it's Xu or the soul inhabiting the parrot, it's impossible for Taihu Chawatari, an ordinary human, to feel it. But even so
, he still chose to adopt this parrot.
"What a 'pure' person."
······
The next day, noon.
Karakura No. 1 Middle School, on the roof of the teaching building.
After class, Xuanhao went directly to the school cafeteria, bought a piece of fried noodles and bread, and went straight to the roof.
Very few people come back here. After all, campus bullying happens all the time in this country. Students are usually prohibited from going up to the top floor. As for why, just look at the fence surrounding the top floor.
Although it is forbidden to come here, there are always a few unruly students who come here to have lunch.
There were already three people present before Xuanhao came here.
"You two have a really good relationship."
Kojima Mizuiro took a lunch box and a kettle and sat down next to Kuchiki Rukia and Kurosaki Ichigo, who had already arrived here.
"Is this called a good relationship? Idiot!"
Kurosaki Ichigo rolled his eyes angrily, "We are obviously quarreling, okay?"
"Yes, yes...but you should also pay attention to the impact."
Looking at the two people who were still bickering, Kojima Mizuki looked like he had seen through everything. After sitting down, he greeted Rukia Kuchiki who was holding a straw and trying to figure out how to poke it into the drink box.
"Hello, Kuchiki-san~ Speaking of which, I haven't had time to properly introduce myself to you. My name is Kojima Mizuiro, I'm fifteen years old..."
"My hobby is picking up girls." Kurosaki Ichigo on the side casually added.
"I didn't, I'm not, you're talking nonsense." Kojima shook his head three times.
"Don't be fooled by his serious appearance. This guy is a veteran in love. You have to be careful." Kurosaki Ichigo pointed at Kojima Mizuro seriously and reminded Rukia Kuchiki.
"Don't slander me, Ichigo."
Kojima Mizuiro sighed, "I only like mature women, and I'm absolutely safe for my peers!"
"It's just because you like the older one that I asked her to be careful..."
Ichigo Kurosaki whispered to himself. That guy is the God of Death. Although he has a girlish face, he knows how old he is.
"Is it okay to sit next to me? Kurosaki-san, Kuchiki-san?"
At some point, Xuan Hao came to several people with the bread in his hand.
"Forehead……"
The faces of Kurosaki Ichigo and Kuchiki Rukia twitched at the same time as if they were having cramps.
"Huh? Are you two okay? Don't suck too hard when you drink. You're not a child anymore."
Kojima Mizuiro on the side looked at the expressions of the two people twitching together and felt confused.
Then, he turned to look at the new classmate, "Ah, you are the new classmate who transferred here on the same day as Kuchiki-san, right? Speaking of which, we haven't said hello yet! Please sit down, don't worry about these two greetings.
Emotional and playful."
"Thank you." Xuan Hao smiled and nodded, then sat down as if nothing had happened.
At the same time, Kurosaki Ichigo and Kuchiki Rukia subconsciously moved their buttocks.
"?"
Kojima Mizuiro looked at this strange scene with confusion on his face.
Is this person... so scary? He obviously feels that the other person's smile is very friendly, and he seems to have a good relationship with Inoue Orihime. Inoue is a famous "natural idiot" in their class, and he can get along well with her.
No one should be a bad person.
"..."
The atmosphere became a little awkward for some reason.
Kurosaki Ichigo, "I think this guy seems to care about Inoue. He shouldn't be a bad person, right?"
Kuchiki Rukia, "Idiot! Naive! Have you not experienced the horror of this guy firsthand?"
Kurosaki Ichigo, "Then...what should we do?"
Kuchiki Rukia, "Don't look at me, I don't know either!"
Kojima's water-colored eyes wandered back and forth between the three people in front of him.
He watched Ichigo Kurosaki and Rukia Kuchiki flirting with each other as if they were guilty of committing crimes, and suddenly he felt that the atmosphere was getting weirder and weirder.
Speaking of which, Inoue seems to like Ichigo. Ichigo and his transferred classmate Kuchiki are now very close, but another transfer student fell in love with Inoue that same day...
The relationship between these guys seems to be very complicated...
Kojima Mizuro would like to ask why the relationships in your circle seem to have become so complicated?
The more he thought about it, the more panicked he became, wondering if he should evacuate this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.
"Oops, the atmosphere seems to be getting more and more tense. Is there anyone who can help me..." Kojima roared in his heart, regretting that he came to the rooftop for lunch today.
Suddenly, he turned his eyes and saw a figure that looked like a savior. The figure was tall and majestic, which made him feel safe. He was simply a hero sent by God to save him!
"Chawatari! You're here too!" Kojima Mizuro hurriedly greeted Sadatari Taihu who had just opened the door to the rooftop, in case he didn't see the few people here and ran aside to enjoy lunch alone.
"Hi……"
Chatata Taihu turned his head when he was called.
"Yo...yo! Chadu!"
Kurosaki Ichigo also noticed the arrival of Sadatora Yasutora, and quickly said hello, changed the subject, and tried to ease the awkward atmosphere, "I didn't seem to see you all this morning. What's going on? Did you ask for leave?"
"Something happened on the way to school..."
Chado raised his hand and greeted everyone.
The bandage exposed at the raised cuff made Ichigo Kurosaki a little worried.
"What happened? Are you injured?"
When he took a closer look, he discovered that Chado had been injured in various places on his body after being gone for just one night. Not only his hands, but also faintly visible band-aids on parts of his face that were covered by hair.
"oh……"
Sadatora looked at Kurosaki Ichigo's worried eyes. In order to stop him from worrying, he explained casually, "The injury on my head was caused by a steel bar yesterday... and on my hand, it was from riding a motorcycle when I came to school in the morning.
The car hit head-on."
"!?Are you OK?"
"It's okay, it's just that the motorcyclist was seriously injured. It took me a while to carry him to the hospital, so I came to school so late." Sadatora shook his head and said.
This doesn't seem to be a big deal to him.
"..."
Except for Xuan Hao, everyone present suddenly shed cold sweat on their foreheads after hearing this.
This doesn't sound like a trivial matter! Most people would have died a long time ago, right? Even Rukia Kuchiki looked at the guy in front of her in surprise.
No matter how she looks at it, he is just an ordinary person.
"Have I failed to keep up with the times? When did the world become full of freaks!?"
Kuchiki Rukia felt like she was almost numb.
At this moment, there were three freaks less than two meters away from her, and each one was more abnormal than the last. There was nothing to be afraid of anymore, and she felt that she could accept everything calmly, because this world should not
There would be more outrageous guys than the few around her.
"By the way, what you are carrying is..."
Kojima Mizuiro smiled awkwardly and began to change the topic. Things seemed to be developing in an increasingly weird direction. He felt that they should talk about something more normal. For example, about the birds of Sadatora.
That's right, he saw that in addition to the bread, he also saw a birdcage in Chado Taihu's hand.
"Ah, this is the parrot I got from my friend yesterday afternoon."
Chadu Taihu laid the cage flat on the ground.
"Hello, my name is Shibata Yuichi, big brother and big sister, what are your names?"
As soon as the birdcage was placed on the ground, the parrot, which regained its balance, asked a few people.
"Wow!"
Kojima Mizuro looked at the parrot on the ground in surprise, "Is it still a parrot that can only talk!?"
He felt that he was so wise, and now the topic at noon today could develop in a normal direction.
"My name is Kojima Mizuro, come and learn from me, Kojima!"
"Brother Kojima."
"Wow! Chadoo, your parrot is too smart, isn't it!?"
"Uh... um..."
Kojima Mizuro and Chatata Taihu started chatting.
The expressions on the faces of the other three people on the side were different.
"..."
Kurosaki Ichigo cast a worried look at the other two people, probably meaning, 'Is this parrot okay?'
Even if he is not very proficient in using the power of Death, he can still feel that this parrot is not ordinary.
"Don't worry, there is indeed something in this parrot, but it's not a bad thing. It's probably just a soul that is afraid of loneliness."
Rukia Kuchiki continued to drink the juice in her hand and said calmly, "However, if it is left alone for a long time, it will become hollow sooner or later. Let's find an opportunity to bury its soul tonight."
"..."
Xuan Hao listened silently to the exchange between the two without speaking. He just slowly stood up and came to the parrot, stretched out his hand and touched the parrot's head with his fingertips.
Then, he sighed and shook his head slowly.
"Senior... have you discovered anything? Is there anything wrong with my judgment...?"
Kuchiki Rukia looked at the other party's shaking head and asked hesitantly.
The strength she has left now is too weak, and she might really miss something.
"Nothing is wrong."
Xuan Hao responded casually, then turned and left.
There was indeed nothing wrong with it. The Hollow did not have direct contact with the spirit or Sadatari who resided on the parrot, so even Rukia Kuchiki, a god of death, could not feel any unusual aura.
This is absolutely normal, after all, not everyone has his ability.
By 'deconstructing', what he can analyze is not just the simple physical structure of things, he can even see spiritual things. In other words, he can even view the target's memory through this ability.
He could see the past of certain targets through the unstable 'soul resonance' before, but now through 'deconstruction' he can take the initiative to view the target's past. Of course, the prerequisite is that the other party's soul does not or cannot
Resist.
Through his contact with the parrot just now, he probably understood the whole story clearly. Combined with his own less detailed memory, he has completely restored this part of the plot.
Xuanhao, who walked to the door, turned around and glanced at Taihu Chawatari, who was still communicating with the parrot, with a faint smile on his face.
He admired this young man very much, especially his superhuman physique. If he exercised a little, he might be able to produce unexpected results.
