Kuchiki Rukia, who had just left Urahara Store, took out her cell phone and cursed.
That's right, it's another virtual instruction.
She looked at the coordinates displayed on the phone screen, pondered for a while, and finally sighed.
"Oh...forget it, I'll believe it one last time."
She decided to trust this crappy machine one more time, and if there was no trace of Xu after that, she would just smash this crappy thing!
In the afternoon, as lunch break began, the school became noisy.
tread--
Menacing footsteps could be heard in the corridor.
"Ichi...Ichigo, have you offended Kuchiki-san recently?"
Kojima Mizuiro looked at the figure walking violently from the end of the corridor, and could not help but shed a little cold sweat on his forehead.
"No, what's wrong?"
Kurosaki Ichigo didn't seem to be aware of the approaching 'danger', and was still staring at the exam results list, looking for his name. This time, his midterm exam results were pretty good, and he entered the top twenty.
That's right, don't look at him like this. Although he looks like a delinquent and does often miss classes, hey, his grades have always been among the best. Just ask if you are angry. Anyway, his best friends around him are looking at the results on the list.
The rankings all looked like they had seen a ghost.
"I suggest you run...well, it's already too late."
Xiaodao Shuise shook her head helplessly and took half a step back.
"Um?"
Kurosaki Ichigo was stunned for a moment, and then he felt like there was something terrible behind him.
But before he could turn his head, he was dragged away.
"Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing?"
After seeing clearly who was coming, Kurosaki Ichigo complained while dancing and struggling.
But he couldn't break away from Rukia Kuchiki's clutches while he was still in the physical body. The physical functions of the remains of the God of Death were far beyond those of ordinary people. Although it was a bit difficult to defeat Hollow, he didn't have the ability to protect himself at all. After all,
This thing is used by the God of Death who has lost his power for emergencies, not for waiting for death.
"Damn it! Let go, don't you know that the relationship between us is rumored to be very bad now?"
"Shut up, Kyon appears again, come with me to see it first!" Rukia Kuchiki couldn't help but ran along with Ichigo Kurosaki by the collar.
"Xu? Isn't it going to be nothing again this time?"
Kurosaki Ichigo's face was full of distrust, after all, the broken machine had not worked a few times in the past few days.
"Keep your voice down, this is a school!"
Kuchiki Rukia let go of her hand angrily, "Anyway, hurry over first."
"Okay, I'll go by myself."
Kurosaki Ichigo reluctantly got up from the ground and followed.
"Hey! No running in the corridor!
"
The faculty member who heard the commotion here came over with a bamboo sword in hand.
"Walk!"
"Ah! Sorry!"
Kurosaki Ichigo accidentally bumped into a figure while running. In order to avoid the pursuit of the faculty, he hurriedly said sorry and continued to follow Kuchiki Rukia without even seeing the other person's face clearly. He didn't even notice this
The person who was hit by him suddenly did not lose his balance at all.
The two of them ran like crazy and disappeared into the corridor.
"Papa..."
"..." The figure in school uniform silently patted the shoulder that was hit. The expression on his face did not change at all, but no one knew what his expression was under those reflective glasses.
"Are all the gods of death such unreliable guys?"
Ishida Uryu murmured and turned around, walked around the corner of the corridor, walked downstairs unhurriedly to the school locker room and opened the closet.
In his wardrobe, in addition to the sportswear he needs to change into during physical education class, there is also a set of pure white clothes. That is his Quincy combat uniform, which can also be called a 'spiritual outfit'.
"Card--"
After changing clothes calmly, Ishida Uryu opened the window of the dressing room, and the next moment, his figure disappeared from the place.
······
The wind whistled in Ishida Uryū's ears, and his figure kept leaping on the rooftops of the town. His glasses reflected the afternoon sun and stretched it into a dazzling light strip on the roof. Although he was not a spirit, his extremely fast movement speed accelerated.
Even if passers-by raised their heads in the dazzling sunlight, they could only see an afterimage of the lake, and finally felt that they had seen it wrong.
Soon he overtook Kurosaki Ichigo, who was moving slowly because of Rukia Kuchiki, and headed straight in the direction where Hollow appeared.
tread--
When he was about to approach the target, Uryu Ishida stepped on the roof violently, and his entire figure coincided with the sun like an eagle soaring in the sky.
The spirit sons began to gather towards his right hand, and the Cross of Annihilation turned into a huge, flickering spiritual bow in his hand.
The figure leaping in mid-air bent the bow and set an arrow, locking the aura of the void.
"disease!"
With a soft shout, Ishida Uryu released his hand holding the bowstring made of spirit seeds, and shot out a straight shot.
Almost at the same moment as the arrow missed, an inaudible scream came from the distance at the end of the line of sight, and then the breath he locked disappeared.
tread--
After everything was done, Uryu Ishida landed gently on the roof and looked towards the 'God of Death' who was still halfway there.
"What a disappointment..."
······
"Sure enough, I was tricked again!"
Kurosaki Ichigo scratched his head and complained, "I still didn't see Yuxu in the end! Is there really nothing wrong with your machine?"
"I took it to Urahara to check, and he said there was nothing wrong with it."
Kuchiki Rukia frowned.
There was no need for Urahara Kisuke to deceive her, so this shouldn't be a problem with the 'Herald God Machine', but some other reason, but...she couldn't figure out what was going on for a while.
"Then what is going on!?" Kurosaki Ichigo was a little irritated. This was already the nth time. "Wolf Cried Wolf" was not so outrageous. He could still believe that he was patient enough to follow.
"I want to ask too!" Rukia Kuchiki was equally irritable, "I just haven't figured out what the situation is yet..."
This is not Soul Society, and in her current state, there is no way she can ask for help from Soul Society. She can't even investigate the information. There are no clues at all, which makes it impossible for her to start. Although it seems that Urahara Kisuke should know something.
, but didn’t want to tell her that there was nothing she could do.
"Did we have a fight? It's so embarrassing and disappointing."
Just as the two were arguing, a cold voice came from the corner of the road nearby.
"who!?"
The two of them suddenly turned their heads, only to realize that someone had been standing there for some time. His pure white clothes stood out clearly in the sunlight.
"Hello, Kurosaki, Kuchiki."
Facing the two people's questions, the visitor just responded calmly and accurately called the two people's surnames.
"who are you?"
Kurosaki Ichigo raised his hand slightly, his eyes alert, as if he was ready to draw his sword at any time.
The young man in front of me, who seems to be about the same age as me, is dressed weirdly and looks like a 'priest'. He is not a serious person at first glance, and the most important thing is... this guy can actually see the 'God of Death'
His!
"Can you see me? And...why do you know our names?"
"Are you surprised?"
Ishida Uryu didn't answer Kurosaki Ichigo's question, and even turned his head, as if he didn't even bother to look at him.
"You guy..."
Seeing this attitude of the other party, Kurosaki Ichigo was a little angry.
But in fact, he misunderstood Uryu Ishida, and Uryu Ishida just felt the aura of Hollow again.
"I'm feeling weak again..."
Ishida Uryu sighed and spoke softly.
"Didi dididi——"
As soon as he finished speaking, Kuchiki Rukia's cell phone began to ring rapidly.
"Youxu? Where is it?"
Kurosaki Ichigo was stunned and asked subconsciously.
"Right over there."
Ishida Uryu stretched out his hand towards the direction where Hollow appeared, and gave Kurosaki Ichigo a cold glance, "You can't even sense this, are you really a Shinigami?"
From before, he felt that Kurosaki Ichigo was very strange. He was obviously a 'Death God' but when he was purifying the void, he moved slowly like a half-hearted person. He could hardly stand it anymore.
Well, he can't stand it anymore.
"!?"
In the surprised gazes of Ichigo Kurosaki and Rukia Kuchiki, a surge of spiritual pressure rose from the person in front of them.
I saw Uryu Ishida's raised hand pointing in the direction flashing with a faint blue light, which was the Annihilation Cross hanging on his wrist.
In the blink of an eye, the spirit sons had once again condensed into a huge spiritual bow with the Cross of Annihilation as the main body.
Before Ichigo Kurosaki and Rukia Kuchiki could react, Uryū Ishida had already bent his bow and arrow again, and his arrows flew across the sky like lightning, drawing a zigzag arc of light in mid-air, and in the end it was as accurate as tracking.
It hit the void in the distance.
"Didi-didi-"
The ringing of the phone stopped suddenly, and Rukia Kuchiki looked at the 'Herald Divine Machine' in her hand in surprise. The reaction was that the arrow disappeared the moment it was missed, which meant that the Hollow had been eliminated!
"Who are you...?"
Facing the figure with his back to them, Kurosaki Ichigo had a trace of cold sweat on his forehead and asked with a trembling voice.
He couldn't see the Xu, but based on the trajectory of the light arrow, he could probably judge how far the Xu was from here.
The person in front of me can actually sense the void from such a long distance, and can kill it with one arrow. He is definitely not an ordinary guy.
"The Quincy—Uryū Ishida."
Ishida Uryu turned his head indifferently and glanced at Kurosaki Ichigo with a cold gaze, "I - hate the 'Death'."
"..." Kurosaki Ichigo could even clearly feel the disgust in the other person's eyes through his eyes reflecting the white light.
Faced with such undisguised disgust, Kurosaki Ichigo cautiously reached out and grasped the handle of the knife, "You guy... what do you want?"
"Do you have a problem with your understanding?"
Ishida Uryu asked indifferently, "What I want to express is very simple, that is, I - hate you!"
After saying that, he took back the spiritual bow in his hand, turned around and left calmly without any hesitation.
"???"
Is this person sick?
This was the first thought in Ichigo Kurosaki's mind.
Listening to the tone of the other party's words, he thought he was going to fight! Is there something wrong with his understanding? Isn't 'hate' usually directed at the 'enemy'? And it was in such a tense situation! A fight is the best option.
Normal right?
But this guy actually turned around and left after showing off, patting his butt, is there any mistake!?
"Hey! You guy..."
Kurosaki Ichigo was about to stop this guy and ask him what was going on, but he was stopped by Rukia Kuchiki beside him.
"What's wrong?"
"..."
Kuchiki Rukia shook her head slightly, "Don't do anything yet...let me think...what exactly is going on."
‘Quincy’, this word always seemed familiar to her. It seemed that she had learned relevant knowledge when she was studying at Zhenyang Spiritual Arts Academy...
"Anyway, let's go back to school first... now is not the time to have a conflict with this guy."
"Tsk...okay."
Finally, Kurosaki Ichigo plans to catch up.
Although Ishida Uryū had a bad mouth just now, he didn't really take action. Since he wasn't planning to take action, he shouldn't be an enemy. In short... In the eyes of Kurosaki Ichigo, who knew nothing about the complex relationship between the various forces, Ishida looked like
It seems that Uryū can only be the companion to destroy Hollow.
······
"Tsk——"
After returning to school, Kurosaki Ichigo recalled what had just happened and suddenly felt unhappy.
He stood in the corridor outside the classroom door and kept stamping his feet. He looked extremely irritable, which made the classmates who passed by subconsciously stay away.
What on earth is going on with that guy? How could anyone say such rude words to a stranger whom they don’t know as soon as they meet? There is really no courtesy at all! Although Kurosaki Ichigo is used to being disliked because of his hair color
, but I still feel very uncomfortable when someone says that to my face as soon as I meet you!
As the saying goes, the more Ren thinks about it, the more angry he gets and the more he takes a step back, the more he loses. Anyway, he feels inexplicably angry right now. If Lucia hadn't stopped him before, he would have sparred with this foul-mouthed guy.
Anyway, next time you meet that guy, make sure he looks good!
Hmm...what's that guy's name?
After thinking about it, Kurosaki Ichigo realized that he didn't seem to even remember the other person's name.
"Ishida...what's going on? Hmm...Willy? No...that's a half-red artist...Wally? That doesn't seem right...what the hell...who is Ishida? Why?
Just can’t remember?”
This guy was thinking irritably, and didn't seem to notice that his level of politeness was about the same as Uryu Ishida's.
"What's wrong with him Ishida?"
While Ichigo Kurosaki was thinking hard, Orihime Inoue, who was about to return to the classroom after lunch with Xuanhao, passed by him, heard his words, and asked with some confusion.
"Inoue? And..."
Kurosaki Ichigo turned his head when he heard the doubtful voice and looked at the two familiar figures, unable to react for a while.
But soon he discovered that the ‘clue’ seemed to be coming to his door!
Inoue looks like he knows Ishida! And the person next to him must be more knowledgeable than both him and Rukia!
"Inoue, do you know Ishida? No... that... Xuanhao, do you know what a 'Quincy' is?"
There seemed to be too many questions surrounding Ichigo Kurosaki, making him a little incoherent for a while.
