Bleach: Stir Up the Situation

Facing the sudden appearance of Arrancar Enex, Ichigo and others were surprised, but because Hong Jiang said "I will explain to you when I get to Hueco Mundo", they didn't ask any more questions.

Under the leadership of Inex, everyone came to Hueco Mundo. Unlike the last time they recaptured Karakura Town, the location they were in now was not the endless white desert under the night sky, but was surrounded by towering trees like a forest. The place.

"Have you finally made up your mind, Captain Choizuka?" A white shadow gradually became clear in the darkness, and he said in a joking tone: "Leave Ichigo to me in exchange for our assistance, it's a smart choice."

"Ichimaru Gin!"

When Ichigo saw that the person coming was Ichimaru Gin, and what the other party said, his body immediately tensed up, and he held his right hand on the handle of the knife to be alert to possible surprise attacks by Ichimaru Gin or Hong Jiang.

"Is it time to joke now, Ichimaru?" Hongjiang said helplessly.

"I can't help teasing them. It's not good to be too nervous, right?" After Ichimaru Gin finished speaking, he tilted his head and looked at Ichigo across Hongjiang and waved: "Long time no see, everyone."

What does it mean? Is Gin Ichimaru also our companion?

Just when Ichigo was confused, the appearance of several people startled him again, "Mr. Ginjo, Mr. Tsukishima!" It was completely beyond his expectation that these people would appear here.

"I didn't expect to see you here, Ichigo." Ginjo replied with a smile.

Tsukishima looked at Hong Jiang and asked softly: "Are we going to confess everything to them now?"

"It's just the right time, even if it's not the best time."

Hearing Hongjiang say this, Tsukishima felt quite strange. It turned out that there were still things that were not under this man's control. Suddenly, he stretched out his right hand, and a katana appeared in his hand.

Ichigo sensed something was wrong and was about to resist, but six beams of light had sealed the three of them at some point. He could only watch as Tsukishima stepped forward quickly and stabbed three of their chests with three knives.

But the strange thing is that the stabbing of the knife only made people slightly dazed. Ichigo looked down and saw that there was no blood and no wounds on his chest. When he looked up, Tsukishima was still standing next to Ichimaru Gin, as if everything just now was just a dream. That’s all.

What makes Ichigo and the other three even more strange is that a memory that they have never experienced but seems like a personal experience appears in their minds in vain. That was the memory of the first time they came to Hueco Mundo to take back Karakura Town. The image of the rebel army led by Asido who opposed the Xuye Palace commanded by Aizen was so real.

It seemed that it took a long time to accept this strange yet familiar memory, but in fact it was only a short moment. Ichigo glanced at Sadatari, and then turned his gaze to Inoue. From each other's eyes, they seemed to be able to examine the inner feelings of their hearts at this moment. Whatever is on your mind.

It was a complex emotion that coexisted with doubt and belief. On the one hand, I was curious about where the memory that suddenly appeared in my mind came from, and on the other hand, I couldn't help but believe that the experience in my memory was real.

"The ability of Tsukishima's Perfection Technique is to tamper with the past. It is not a memory, but it actually allows the person who was hit to experience the tampered past."

Hongjiang's voice sounded at the right time: "Now that your tampered past has been corrected, I guess you have a lot less doubts about Hueco Mundo."

Ichigo nodded. Although it was just a feeling, after being stabbed by Tsukishima with that strange katana, he naturally separated the two memories into true and false. It may be strange to say it, but even without Hong Jiang explaining it, he seems to understand what Tsukishima's ability is.

Then he shook his head again. At this moment, he did know that Hueco Mundo was under Hongjiang's control, but it didn't mean that he had no doubts at all. "What is Mr. Choizuka's purpose in controlling Hueco Mundo?"

Although his corrected past has made him no longer simply hostile to Arrancar, but he defeated Aizen who occupied Hueco Mundo with his front foot, and it is not surprising that Hueco Mundo changed hands with his back foot. It is difficult not to make people suspicious of the island's modification of its past practices.

Hongjiang originally tampered with the past of Ichigo and others in the hope of completing the post-war settlement more easily. He knew that the secret would one day be revealed, and he was prepared accordingly.

"It's a long story, but I can't do it without giving you an explanation. Haiyan must have been waiting for my explanation for a long time."

Haiyan couldn't help but roll her eyes. He had been corrected by Tsukishima earlier, and he had a lot of questions waiting for Hongjiang to explain.

"To put it simply, my purpose of establishing a force in Hueco Mundo is divided into two stages." Hongjiang wiped his nose and said with some embarrassment: "The first stage was when I first came to Hueco Mundo a hundred years ago. Because of some changes, I came to Hueco Mundo in order to get the answer in my heart, hoping to find that answer with the help of Xu’s power.”

"What answer?" Ichigo and Haiyan asked in unison. It was obvious that such a vague answer could not satisfy them.

Hongjiang had no choice but to answer: "The answer is the Invisible Empire. Now you also know what happened when the 10th Division was completely wiped out. At that time, the Seireitei concluded that Isshin committed this crime, but I held a different view. view."

"At that time, I was not allowed to continue investigating this matter in Seireitei, and my actions were restricted everywhere. Since I want to find people hiding in the dark, Kyon, who is proficient in spatial abilities, is the best help. ”

Although he spoke in general terms, Hongjiang made the cause and his motives clear. Haiyan couldn't find any loopholes in Hong Jiang's words, and since they were here just to force out the invisible empire, they believed Hong Jiang's rhetoric.

"What about the second stage?"

"It's for an ideal."

"ideal?"

Hongjiang did not answer, but just stepped aside to let Asido behind him. Asido took over and said: "Now that your past has been corrected, if you are allowed to attack the Arrancar who assisted you at that time, you are you willing?"

"Haiyan?"

"Ichigo?"

Acedo asked one by one, and everyone looked confused and couldn't make a decision. These people had all fought side by side with Arrancar, and it was a bit embarrassing to ask them to turn against each other now.

"This is also the doubt in my mind a hundred years ago. When Xu regained his sanity when he was promoted to Achiukas, it was equivalent to being reborn again. At that time, it was completely unknown whether they were enemies, friends, good or bad. If it was just based on a single The enemy's division is too extreme. Besides, I was saved by Daxu, so I feel even more confused. "

"As a god of death, it is your duty to protect the real world, and those who invade the real world are often the most common Hollows in the lower Hueco Mundo. Strictly speaking, they are the biggest cause of turmoil in the real world." Asido said and suddenly sighed, " But it is almost impossible to kill all these countless Hollows. Thinking about it this way, won’t the turmoil in this world never be solved? "

Faced with this heavy topic, Ichigo and others didn't know what to say. Haiyan put herself in his shoes and thought about it, feeling a little confused.

But when I think about it, why is he proud of being a god of death? Isn't it because of the lofty ideals passed down from generation to generation to protect the world and the soul society?

Thinking of this, he looked at Asido who looked a little lonely and asked, "Does the lack of results mean that we have to give up?"

"No, some things are great just because they have no results but they can't give up!"
