Return of the Mask

"Who?"

There was no sound in the quiet alley.

The clouds were blown by the evening wind, gradually covering the moon and cutting off the moonlight.

Yin Shu frowned and walked towards the entrance of the alley, and said coldly as he walked: "A large group of boys like to do such sneaky things?"

"Who is stealing chickens and dogs!"

"Who is stealing chickens and dogs!"

Two arrogant voices roared, and at the same time two black figures jumped out!

Then there were two more sighs.

Yinshu stopped and raised his eyebrows.

"This is..." Kinoshita Jiro looked at them in surprise, "Is it the vice-captain's classmate?"

Marui Bunta and Uesugi Tensuke stared at Otoki, speechless.

Yinshu looked to their left, and the other two walked out obediently, clutching their foreheads.

"First explain," Nioh Masaharu said helplessly, raising his hand, "I didn't mean it."

Seeing Nioh excuse himself so quickly, Uesugi Tensuke's eyes widened: "Hey! What are you doing here on purpose?!"

"That's because Marui is here too," Nio continued to say in a helpless tone while playing with his pigtails, "If he gets into any trouble, it will be the two of us who will be punished."

"Nio!!" Marui clenched his fists in embarrassment when he heard his companion say so.

Hashiba Ryogo stood beside Nioh, nodding his head in agreement.

Yinshu looked at them lightly, waiting for none of them to speak, then glanced at Uesugi Tensuke, and said, "Is there anything?"

Uesugi Tensuke lowered his head and closed his mouth, Marui turned his head away with a soft snort, Nioh looked at the sky leisurely, and Hashiba Ryogo looked away unnaturally.

"Vice-captain, I..." Seeing this situation, Kinoshita Jiro walked behind Yinshu and said in a low voice.

"If you want to talk about Hirako," Yinshu said after a pause, "it's impossible for him not to have discovered what old man Yamamoto was thinking, so he still came to me, so it doesn't matter if you report this matter .”

After being silent for a while, Kinoshita Jiro finally responded: "Yes!" After a pause, he said, "There is also the vice-captain... sorry." After speaking, he passed by Uesugi Tensuke and walked out of the alley.

"It's work..." Behind him, Yinshu said helplessly.

And now, finally, there were only five of them left in the alley.

Yinshu glanced at them, walked past them and walked out of the alley.

Maybe it was because he thought it was not a good decision to keep up. When Otoki crossed the street, only Uesugi Tensuke was left to catch up.

"That uncle just now...is he the same person as you?"

"It's none of your business." Yinshu said lightly.

Uesugi Tensuke gritted his teeth, stared at her and continued: "That person named Hirako is the one who came to you at noon, right? He is also the same person as you?"

Yin Shu breathed out, stopped, turned around and looked at him with a frown and said, "Don't you know that you are so annoying? I have never seen any human being with spiritual power like you."

"Haven't seen it?" Uesugi Tensuke sneered, "It's just that they didn't realize the existence of people like you! Who would see such disgusting things and live in peace?"

"Then can you live with peace of mind like this?" Yinshu's voice couldn't help but grow louder.

"At least we can know what the danger is lurking around us all day!" Uesugi Tensuke roared, and then fell silent.

He clenched his fists and lowered his head.After a long time, he said in a low voice: "At least... after knowing what they are, maybe there is still a chance to save my parents who are in danger because of me..."

Yinshu was taken aback.

"I know that you people have the ability to kill those things, so you will never be afraid of those things, and you can't understand my feelings at all!" Turning his head away, he gritted his teeth, "What do you know... ..."

"Would any of your loved ones be attacked by something like that for your own sake?"

"Have you ever seen your relatives about to be killed, but you can't do anything, and you can only be rescued by some unknown things?"

Yin Shu frowned at him.

"That's why I hate you guys!" Uesugi Tensuke raised his head and stared at her with red eyes, "Obviously I am familiar with that kind of monster and have the ability to kill that kind of monster, why don't you help me?! You can teach me to kill those monsters The method of the monster! This way I can protect others!"

"It's annoying to say something, even if you have the ability to kill those things, it's too arrogant to say that?!"

Otoki rubbed his forehead, looked at Uesugi Tensuke who drooped his head as if he had no strength after roaring, folded his arms around his chest, frowned and said, "Something of unknown origin?"

Uesugi Tensuke was taken aback.

"Have you seen clearly the appearance of the person who saved your loved one?"

"...I, how do I know!" He stared at her, "I said I couldn't see very clearly, anyway, I was wearing black clothes, and I was holding a knife in my hand, so I don't look like a good person..."

Yinshu was speechless.

Standing there a little restlessly for a while, the buzzing of insects continued.

Under the street lamp, Yinshu glanced at Uesugi Tensuke again, and finally said helplessly:

"First of all, let me make it clear to you that even if you know what those 'monsters' are and how to kill them, it is still impossible for you to master these abilities."

Seeing his dissatisfied look of "you are arrogant again", Yinshu frowned and said: "Although these words are not suitable for a human being like you, but seeing your situation now, it is better to speak clearly."

"Human?" Uesugi Tensuke was a little puzzled when he heard Yinshu say so.

"First of all, the person who saved you back then was the god of death."

A moment of silence.

After a long time, Uesugi Tensuke looked at her in bewilderment.

"It literally means that the only one who can kill Xu is Shinigami," Otoki didn't bother to mention special cases like Inoue Orihime and Chadu Taitora, so he skipped over and looked at Uesugi Tensuke's eyes that gradually widened , She continued, "And as you think now, I, that uncle, and that bald man who appeared in the classroom today are all death." After she finished speaking, she fell silent.

But he didn't find anything wrong with Tone Tree, Uesugi Tensuke just asked embarrassingly: "Baldy? That person has hair, and it's golden!"

Yin Shu was called to God, and he only cast a contemptuous glance at Uesugi Tensuke's speech, and continued: "There is a god of death in this world, and the name of those 'monsters' is Xu. Xu and Shinigami are enemies. There is always a situation of opposition. In this world," Yin Shu stretched out a hand and pointed to the ground, "In order to protect this world, the god of death is responsible for destroying those voids."

"The only thing that can kill Xu is the Zanpakuto, and you can only master this kind of sword if you have learned how to use it." After ambiguously speaking some key points, he looked at Uesugi Tensuke who frowned. Yin Shu squinted his eyes and said before him: "You want to say that you can also learn sword skills? Sorry——"

"Many souls have to study for six years to master it, and some cannot learn it no matter how hard they study."

A moment of silence.

After a while, Uesugi Tensuke argued: "But it's not impossible to learn! After all, you are—"

"—Did you hear what I said clearly?" Yinshu interrupted him impatiently.

"I'm talking about—the soul."

Uesugi froze for a moment, then gradually opened his eyes wide.

Yinshu looked at him, and said in a deep voice: "Only those who died in this world have the right to learn that skill."

After a while, Uesugi's trembling voice slowly sounded from the side of the path: "Are you... a dead person?

"That uncle, and the person who appeared in the classroom today... are all dead?"

Yinshu looked at him silently.

He finally closed his mouth, swallowed, took a step back trembling all over, his face was pale, and his eyes were full of fear.

Seeing him like this, Yinshu couldn't help but sneer.

"Xu is the soul, and the god of death is also the soul. Xu and the god of death are not in the same world as you humans, so even if you understand these things, it is meaningless. You have no way to intervene."

Uesugi stayed there.

"And as for your parents," paused, "every place is in charge of a god of death, so there will be no danger." That's what he said, but Yinshu also knows that there are so many ghosts in the world. A little Reaper who doesn't even have a seat in the [-]th Goutei team really can't handle it sometimes.

Uesugi stood there in a daze.

Yinshu glanced at him, turned around and planned to leave.But after taking a step, he stopped.

After a second or two, she turned around, raised her eyebrows and said, "By the way, if you have some brains about those things, you should know that you can't tell others, so please forget what happened tonight." After saying that, he turned around and planned to leave.

Not long after walking out, a hesitant voice sounded from behind.

"Are you... strong?"

Yinshu stopped, turned around and frowned at him, not knowing why he would ask such a question.

"That uncle called you 'Vice-captain'." Uesugi's face was very bad, but he still looked at Yinshu and said awkwardly, "The vice-captain should be the most powerful and powerful person after the captain, right?"

"With your identity, it doesn't matter if you tell me these things about a human being?"

"It doesn't matter?" Yinshu chuckled, "I don't think about whether it will cause trouble to others after I have already done it. Let's forget about this redundant thought."

"...I'm sorry." He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something more, but after a long time, he finally closed his mouth and didn't say anything.

Yinshu glanced at him, then exhaled lightly, scratched his hair, and turned around.

"Well, it's okay."

"……Eh?!"

"It doesn't matter..." Yin Shu said as he walked, his voice was soft, he didn't know whether to tell him or himself, "The status of deputy captain... has long been gone."

The evening wind blows, blows over the ends of the hair, and even the lingering sounds are scattered.

When I arrived at the school the next day, although a few people around me were curious about the sudden silence of Uesugi Tensuke, they still didn't mention what happened last night after all.

Two days later, the second weekend after school finally arrived.

On Friday night, Gennai's mother had already prepared a change of clothes.

Early the next morning, Otoki and Tomoki arrived at Tachikai University, gathered with a group of people from the tennis club, and then took the bus to Karakura Town.Apart from her and Tomoki, the people who were not in the tennis club this time included Nioh's younger brother and another girl, who was said to be the daughter of Yukimura's relatives, and they came along because they liked tennis.

Although I went to bed very late last night, the upcoming tennis match seemed to make Zhishu very excited.

"Ah, why don't you learn tennis from now on, right?!" Leaning on the back of Zhishu's chair, Fumiya Marui said excitedly.

"Okay, okay!" Zhishu nodded immediately.

After flicking the back of Marui's head, Nio who was sitting behind him smiled and said, "Tennis is hard work, you know, don't agree to such a thing so easily."

"Eh? But Zhishu likes tennis very much!" Zhishu said seriously with his eyes wide open, and then tugged Yinshu who was sitting next to her and fell asleep with a book covering his face, "Sister! Zhishu is going to learn tennis, okay?" ?”

Yinshu tugged at the sleeve that Zhishu had torn off, and said sullenly, "Okay..."

"Does sister think Zhishu can learn tennis well?" Zhishu lowered his head and hesitated.

"OK……"

"Can my sister learn tennis with Zhishu?"

After a few seconds this time, Yinshu replied decisively: "Not good!"

King Nio shrugged.

Yinshu took down the book, put his hands on Zhishu's shoulders, frowned, and said seriously: "Zhishu, you've gotten too close to them recently!"

Tomoki looked at her innocently.

At this time, the car stopped slowly.

Yin Shu withdrew his hand, yawned, then got up and got out of the car with the others.

"Sasa, wait until today to hit you, Li Huazhong!!" As soon as the car drove away, Marui Fumta stretched his waist and said excitedly.

"Is it Yukimura's relative's vacant house this time?" Liu said while holding a notebook in one hand.

Yukimura nodded.

"Because it only needs to be used for one night, my aunt said there is no problem."

"Ah, it seems that you are well prepared," Nioh said with a smile, "whether it is the residence or the competition."

Although this time I was going to watch the tennis match between the junior high schools of the two schools, in fact Uesugi Tensuke had already made a challenge to them.In addition to Kirihara Chiya from the junior high school, he has already been promoted to the Lihai tennis club from the high school, and he hopes to have one or two small-scale matches.

This kind of competition is not allowed in principle, but Marui was very annoyed by Uesugi Tensuke, and Nio also faintly showed the idea of ​​​​wanting to give it a try, and said in Liu, "Now I am promoted to the high school, as the former junior middle school minister The rules of the tennis club set by Yukimura are invalid." After that, Yukimura agreed with a very bright smile.

Seeing Yukimura's smile, Yagyu, Sanada, and Jackal could only remain silent.

After walking for a long time, I finally arrived at the house that was said to be vacant by Yukimura's relatives. A group of people stood in front of the door and looked up.

Fumta Marui was very excited on the side, and a group of people were noisy.

At this moment, Niwang's younger brother sneaked up to Yinshu, looked at her warily and said, "Are you a girl in the same class as your brother?"

Yinshu raised an eyebrow and glanced at him. "What's wrong?"

"Let me warn you," the little lady folded her arms around her chest, turned her head away, and said with a frown, "If the room is not enough this time, I will probably sleep in the same room with my brother again. If you want to chase him Please don't disturb me." After a pause, he turned his head and gave her a hard look, "Otherwise, you are dead."

"..." Yinshu said that this was the first time she met such a child, so she didn't know what to say.

Even if he looks the same as Dongshiro, Dongshiro's age is definitely not as simple as his appearance...

Letting out a breath, Yinshu shook his head, picked out his ears, patted Zhishu on the head, and was about to walk into that room first, but unexpectedly, the door of the room she was facing was suddenly opened , a black shadow suddenly rushed out!

"Who is arguing over there so early in the morning!!!" An angry roar passed through her ears!

Yin Shu frowned and pushed Zhi Shu out, then grabbed the arm of the black shadow rushing towards her with one hand, turned around, and threw him out violently!The man fell to the ground and made a big hole!

The whole movement was very smooth, and a group of people stared at her dumbfounded.

After clapping his hands and straightening up, Yinshu raised the corners of his lips and hummed softly.

The next second, a familiar voice sounded:

"Hey! Dad! What the hell are you doing?!"

Hearing this voice, Yinshu was taken aback, and turned his head expressionlessly.

The orange-haired boy was taken aback when he saw her.

It was extremely quiet.

After a while, Kurosaki Ichigo twisted his face and said: "I still have luggage... Gennai, you don't want to live in my house, do you..."

In the next second, he was hit directly in the face by a bag of luggage, and he fell straight backwards and fell to the ground.

silence.silence.
