Chapter 563 Correcting the Past
Faced with the sudden appearance of the Arrancar Innex, Ichigo and the others were surprised, but because of Hiroe's words "I'll explain it to you when we get to Hueco Mundo", they didn't ask any more questions.
The group came to Hueco Mundo under the leadership of Innex. Unlike the last time they took back Karakura Town, they were not in the endless white desert under the night sky, but in a place surrounded by towering trees like a forest.
"Have you finally made up your mind, Captain Chouzuka?" A white shadow gradually became clear in the distance, and said in a playful tone: "Hand Ichigo over to me in exchange for our assistance, a smart choice."
"Ichimaru Gin!"
Ichigo saw that the person coming was Ichimaru Gin, and coupled with what the other party said, his body tensed up immediately, and his right hand grasped the hilt of the knife to be alert to the possible surprise attack of Ichimaru Gin or Hiroe.
"Is it time to joke now, Ichimaru?" Hiroe said helplessly.
"I can't help but tease them. It's not good to be too nervous, right?" After saying this, Ichimaru Gin tilted his head and looked at Ichigo over Hiroe and waved: "Long time no see, everyone."
What does this 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 unexpected for these people to appear here.
"I didn't expect to see you here, Ichigo." Ginjo replied with a smile.
Tsukishima looked at Hongjiang and asked softly: "Are we going to tell them everything now?"
"It just happened, although it's not the best time."
Tsukishima felt quite novel when he heard Hongjiang say that. It turned out that there were things that were not under the control of this man. He stretched out his right hand and a samurai sword appeared in his hand.
Ichigo noticed something was wrong and was about to resist. Six beams of light had sealed the three of them at some point. He could only watch Tsukishima quickly step forward and stab three knives into their chests.
But the strange thing was that this knife stabbing only made people a little dazed. Ichigo looked down and there was no blood or wound on his chest. When he looked up, Tsukishima was still standing next to Gin Ichimaru, as if everything just now was just a dream.
What made Ichigo and the other two even more surprised was that a memory that they had never experienced but seemed to have personally appeared in their minds. That was the memory of their first visit to Hueco Mundo to retake Karakura Town. The image of the rebels led by Asido, who opposed the Hueco Muni led by Aizen, was so real.
It seemed to take a long time to accept this strange yet familiar memory, but in fact it was only a short moment. Ichigo glanced at Chad and then at Inoue. They seemed to be able to examine what they were thinking at the moment from each other's eyes.
It was a complex emotion of doubt and belief. On the one hand, they were curious about where this memory that suddenly appeared in their minds came from, and on the other hand, they couldn't help but believe that the experience in the memory was real.
"Tsukishima's Fullbring Technique has the ability to tamper with the past, not the memory, but to make the person who was slashed experience the tampered past."
Hongjiang's voice sounded at the right time: "Now, your tampered past has been corrected, I think you have fewer doubts about Hueco Mundo."
Ichigo nodded. Although it was just a feeling, after being stabbed by Tsukishima with that strange samurai sword, he naturally separated the two memories into true and false. It may sound strange, but even without Hongjiang's explanation, he seemed to understand what Tsukishima's ability was.
Then he shook his head again. At this moment, he did know that Hueco Mundo was under Hongjiang's control, but it did not mean that he had no doubts at all, "What is Mr. Chouzuka's control of Hueco Mundo for?"
Although the corrected past made him no longer simply hostile to the Arrancar, it was no wonder that Ichigo thought too much about the fact that Hueco Mundo changed its owner right after defeating Aizen who occupied Hueco Mundo. In addition, it was hard not to be suspicious of the way he ordered Tsukishima to modify the past.
Hongjiang tampered with the past of Ichigo and others in the hope of completing the post-war process more simply. He knew that the secret would be revealed one day, and he was also prepared accordingly.
"It's a long story, but I can't not give you an explanation. Haiyan has been waiting for my explanation for a long time."
Haiyan couldn't help rolling his eyes. His past was corrected by Tsukishima earlier, and he was waiting for Hongjiang to explain a lot of questions.
"To put it simply, my purpose of building a force in Hueco Mundo can be divided into two stages." Hongjiang wiped his nose and said a little embarrassedly: "The first stage was when I first came to Hueco Mundo a hundred years ago. At that time, I was dissatisfied because of some changes. In order to get the answer in my heart, I came to Hueco Mundo and hoped to find the answer with the power of the Hollow."
"What answer?" Ichigo and Haiyan asked in unison. It was obvious that such a vague answer could not satisfy them.
Hong Jiang had no choice but to answer: "The answer is the Invisible Empire. You now know that the Tenth Division was wiped out. At that time, the conclusion of the Soul Society was that Isshin committed this crime, but I have a different opinion."
"At that time, the Soul Society did not allow me to continue investigating this matter, and my actions were restricted everywhere. Since we have to find someone hiding in the dark, then the Hollow who is proficient in space ability is naturally the best help."
Although the words were general, Hong Jiang also made the cause and his motives clear. Haiyan could not find any loopholes in Hong Jiang's words, and they came here to force out the Invisible Empire, so they believed Hong Jiang's words.
"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!"
