Sunshine of Death's cheerful big boy

Chapter 99
"There is no need to bother Dean Ishida. If I can't cure Xiaolong, it will be useless." Masaki came out at some point and patted Ichigo and Uryū on the shoulders from behind.

The two of them were taken aback!
"Ah! Mom, Mom? Of course we don't suspect you!" Ichigo laughed dryly.

After being startled, Yulong was still puzzled and said, "Xiaolong?"

He has never officially been to Ichigo's house before. This is the first time he has communicated with Ichigo's mother, and... he can tell that this "little dragon" is not calling him!
Masaki still called him "Dean Ishida" in the first half of the sentence, but she used a nickname after that—after all, she and Ishida Ryuseki grew up together.

only……

For various reasons, she and Xiaolong were just good friends in the end, and they were still together with a certain big pig's trotter.

"Eh? Didn't Xiaolong tell you? We've known each other since we were kids." Masaki said it directly.

"You and Ryuzuru Ishida..." Uryu looked at Ichigo's mother in surprise.

"Pfft... brat, you are crazier than Xiaolong when he was a child." Masaki couldn't help laughing out loud when she heard Yulong calling Longxian like that.

"Eh? I haven't heard of it either!" Ichigo was also surprised—he and Uryu got acquainted after this guy challenged himself and attracted a group of virtual competitions. Before that, he didn't know that the two were "old friends." .

At this moment, Masaki sniggered and said in a low voice that everyone could hear: "Because Daddy Ni will be jealous! Can't you see it? He is actually very narrow-minded..."

"Huh? Is that so?" Ichigo still felt strange.

Uryū suddenly remembered something at this moment - when Ichiryu was in Seireitei, he had said a few words to him, which he couldn't understand at all at the time, something like "Don't flirt with other people's wives"... But Uryū has not met Ichigo's father now, and naturally has no contact with him.

Yulong didn't have time to think about it, so he was interrupted, and Masaki said: "That little brat, stay at our house for now, although the environment in Ishida Hospital is better, but he doesn't have much money, Xiaolong definitely doesn't welcome him." .”

This was a bit of a joke about Ryugen Ishida's "death for money", but Uryū just nodded firmly and agreed.

"Great! I just don't know if Hong has any relatives yet." Ichigo was relieved at first, but then he became a little nervous.

"Relieved" was naturally because he could take this kid in first, otherwise he would have to be sent to Urahara Store, and "nervous" was because he remembered that other soul hunters seemed to be chasing him...

Will there be any danger when I am not at home?How about sending it to Urahara store?

But it's not easy for my mother to be generous, and because the store manager Urahara didn't tell the whole truth about the soul hunting issue, Ichigo also doesn't want to send people to him.

"By the way, where's dad?" Ichigo wondered at this moment.

"Going back to work!" Masaki said angrily - after seeing the injured boy, she somewhat guessed why the guy left in such a hurry...at least one of the reasons has been guessed.

"What? Why are you in such a hurry? Youzi and Xia Li haven't come back yet, right? He...did he leave by himself?" Ichigo was surprised at first, then a little annoyed, and finally... a little worried—this is not because he escaped from prison and was caught back Bar?

"Otherwise? Do you need someone to carry him?" Masaki gave her son a white look.

Then, not to mention that after Youzi and Xia Li came back, they learned that their father had left again, Youzi cried out in anxiety, Xia Li's mouth was stubborn, but her mood was obviously wrong, Masaki took a long time to coax her...

At night, the boy named "Ah Hong" woke up, but he wanted to leave without saying goodbye and leave through the window. It was still raining heavily outside.

In the middle of the night, Ichigo woke up and found the window open, so he chased him out.

Because Ichigo was worried, he also contacted Uryu, Chadu, and Inoue...

Finally, relying on the "Soul Transformation"'s induction of "Soul Hunting", the four finally found Ah Hong who had sneaked out.

After being caught in the rain, Hong's originally stable injury deteriorated a bit. Fortunately, he was not far from the Urahara store at this time.

The four of them sent Ahong to the shop manager Urahara, at least they changed his clothes and boiled hot water for him...

While Jinta and Xiaoyu were busy, Ichigo asked Urahara Kisuke, "Shop Manager Urahara, do you still have something to hide from us about Soul Hunting?"

Previously, Urahara only said that "Soul Hunting" was the product of a failed research at the Seireitei Research Institute, and that now they suddenly start sucking the souls of living people, which has become very dangerous, but... Judging from Ahong's situation, These "soul hunters" don't seem to be a unified group?
"So that's the case... Is this child hunted down by Soul Hunting? It seems... well, let me tell you guys. Actually, I didn't mean not to say it. It's just that it wasn't necessary before. Now it seems that they still have differences Ah..." Urahara murmured at this moment.

"What is what? Can you please explain it more clearly?" Ichigo hated the Riddler the most.Urahara looked at Uryū at this moment and said, "Actually, Uryū-san may already know this, right?"

"What do you know? Soul hunting? I just vaguely remember that it seems to be some kind of entanglement with our Quincy..." After all, Uryū has not received a complete inheritance, and has not even gone through a formal trial.

"Actually... the birth of Soul Hunter is related to the Quincy. The original purpose of the Seireitei Research Institute was to fight against the Quincy, so the experiment was started." Urahara said at this time.

"Wait, didn't you say last time that it was 1000 years ago?" Yulong immediately interrupted—in his heart, the war between the Death God and the Quincy only happened 200 years ago, and it was a one-sided massacre!

"That's right, listen to me first..." Urahara said this, but he didn't mention the jihad 1000 years ago.

Ichigo faintly noticed that Urahara was talking about "fighting" the Quincy, but he didn't think much about it at this time.

"Originally, the Seireitei Research Institute wanted to develop a 'weapon' that could be manufactured in large quantities, but it obviously failed in the end. The explosion caused by the failed experiment directly destroyed one-tenth of Seireitei!
"The current soul hunter is actually the residual power generated by some experiments after the explosion, which was scattered into the world and combined with human souls. And what period was it in the world at that time? You have also learned it in history class, right? "Urahara asked in a meaningful tone at this time.

"Thousands of years ago... the Star Sky Dynasty?" Ichigo and the other four reacted immediately.

Even Sadatari, who seems a bit silly, and Inoue, who usually behaves in a dull manner, are actually "students".

"That's right, and in the history of this world, there is a part missing... The Star Dynasty at that time actually cooperated with Quincy and took in most of the soul hunters!" Urahara said in shock.

"what?"

Ichigo and Uryu were both surprised.

if it is like this……

They could not imagine why the Starry Dynasty would perish!

"Could it be... because of the civil strife, the princes also have the support of Quincy and Soul Hunting?" Yulong guessed at this time.

"That's not the point, what's important is... At that time, some Soulhunters were instigated by the God of Death, rebelled against the Star Dynasty, and joined the battle with the Quincy in this world.

"At first, I also thought that the Soul Hunters who were still loyal to the Star Dynasty should have been wiped out. This time, it was only another faction that suddenly started sucking souls, but now it seems that there are actually two camps of Soul Hunters... Urahara was also amazed by this, as if he really just found out.

"Wait, survivors? Shouldn't the rebellious faction win? Could it be... that they were both defeated by the Quincy at that time?" Ichigo asked wonderingly at this moment—after all, the Star Dynasty did perish a thousand years ago. up.

At this time, Urahara unfolded a small fan to cover his face, and said as if he was embarrassed: "Really, Kurosaki-san, don't ask about this kind of thing!"

"Eh?" Ichigo was still puzzled, but Uryu had already guessed something when he saw this.

"So, the gods of death crossed the river and demolished the bridge, right?" Yulong lowered his glasses and understood the reason.

Urahara just looked embarrassed, but in fact... it was none of his business. He didn't have much empathy with the nobles. At this time, he said directly: "Yes, the nobles of the Seireitei at that time tempted them to rebel. The condition is to accept them back to Soul Society.

"However... In fact, the experiment failed, but one-tenth of the Seireitei was blown up. If you accept them, wouldn't you have to admit that you made a big mistake in your decision-making? So the nobles will negotiate with them. , That is, the person in charge of the experiment was exiled, and then refused to recognize the agreement.

"The power of soul hunters is greatly restricted by the environment. After being expelled from the world of corpses and souls, they live in the world with a low spiritual environment for a long time. Their power gradually weakens, and they are different from ordinary people. Without the protection of the dynasty Later, they were persecuted by ordinary humans, and there have been very few left over the past thousand years.”

Ichigo obviously couldn't understand the logic of the nobles, and said angrily: "Those nobles are really too much!"

"They can only blame themselves for being deceived into rebelling, right?" Yulong sneered at this moment, but then he also wondered: "But they can't even reproduce normally? After all, they have more power than ordinary people... "

As his strength deteriorates, he is gradually unable to fight against a large number of ordinary people, so he can only hide his identity. How can the number be reduced to this level despite his long lifespan?
"Soulhunters themselves cannot reproduce. Although there are occasional newborn soulhunters among ordinary people, their number is destined not to increase, but to decrease. The number of newborn soul hunters must be less than that of dead soul hunters. Satoshi, if you don't get guidance, you can easily be killed when you just show your peculiarities." Urahara revealed this point.

"So, Hong should be the new soul hunter..." Ichigo suddenly said after hearing this.

It's just that I still don't know which faction Ah Hong belongs to, and which faction is the one who wants to suck the soul now...

Yulong was puzzled and said, "However... even if they are divided into two factions, there is no need to fight each other, right? Now their enemies are all gods of death..."
