"Are these the images of the future?"

"Chad..."

"Orihime..."

"Please don't look at me like that, I really don't know anything" Sensing the surprise and suspicion in the eyes of the two companions, Ichigo was completely dumbfounded.

About half an hour ago.

It happens to be lunchtime at the high school campus.

As usual, after lunch, he met up with Chad and Orihime to chat and relax on the rooftop.

However.

The three of them had arrived on the rooftop not long ago.

The mysterious transparent light curtain suddenly appeared.

Then there was the inventory video playback screen.

At first, Ichigo watched it eagerly, curious about the unknown.

But who knows.

After finishing the last character inventory.

On the next screen, his own figure will appear.

This is outrageous.

"Ah, what do you mean, are you really a complete ignoramus?" asked Chad hesitantly.

"Otherwise, do I have to lie to you?"

Ichigo rolled his eyes helplessly.

It is undeniable that the one who is insane often commits some outrageous acts.

Like skipping classes.

Fighting with street gangsters.

Even fighting with my father, Kurosaki Isshin, etc...

but.

Ichigo is sure.

I've never touched any knives.

It's even more impossible to attack a strangely dressed stranger holding a sword on a strange hill who's never been there before like in the video.

"But..."

The gazes met Ichigo's.

Sensing the affirmation in the other party's eyes, Chad hesitated. "Those images are obviously very realistic. It's like it happened in real life. How can this be explained?"

Due to the current time node.

Rukia Kuchiki has not yet appeared.

So Chad did not awaken the power of full manifestation.

Like Ichigo, he doesn't have Reiatsu, he's just a normal human being.

For Shinigami, for Zanpakutō.

Chad didn't know anything, he had no concept in mind.

But.

In the video, whether it was the rain of Sakura flowers formed after the Shikai Senbonzakura, or the pressure of the bloody sword cut by Tensa Zangetsu, he couldn't help but tremble in his soul.

This feeling of immersion.

It seems like I've already integrated into the image and I'm standing on the edge of the hill watching.

It's so weird.

Ichigo stroked his forehead and shook his head uncomprehendingly. "To be honest, not only you, I also want to know about this problem, what bastard is this joke about"

I finished speaking.

Ichigo clenched his fists.

He slammed hard against the light curtain.

However, the moment the fist was about to touch, it strangely went through the entire light curtain.

This scene immediately made everyone's scalp bristle.

"Does this curtain of light really exist in virtual reality, impossible" Orihime covered her mouth in fright. These kinds of high-tech objects had always existed only in fantasy.

"A thing that appears out of nowhere and is virtualized is too scary..."

Unbeknownst to him.

Even Ichigo himself didn't realize that his back was wet with cold sweat.

This inexplicable curtain of transparent light had gone beyond his knowledge and completely subverted Ichigo's worldview.

"What should I do now?"

Chad asked with a worried face.

The more he looks, the more uncomfortable he feels inside and the negative emotions intensify.

"Either you report it immediately. Or you keep reading, what do you think?"

It was beyond Chad's expectations.

After a brief shock, Ichigo quickly calmed down and his expression gradually became calm.

Even though his back was cold.

There was a trace of cold sweat on his forehead.

But in the video, the self-sustaining Tensa Zangetsu still aroused Ichigo's strong curiosity, and he was eager to keep watching.

Looking at the transparent light curtain, Chad hesitated.

He frowned, thought carefully for a few seconds, and then gave an affirmative answer.

"Honestly, even though I think the appearance of this thing is not a good thing, I still sincerely hope to keep looking at it"

Yes.

He and Ichigo think the same way.

Despite the fear for the appearance of the transparent light curtain.

But looking at Ichigo as a Shinigami, Chad also has the urge to keep looking.

"Orihime, what about you?" Ichigo turned to look at Orihime and comforted him with concern. "If you feel afraid, why don't you leave here first?"

"No..."

It's beyond Ichigo's expectations.

Orihime shook her head without thinking. "I'll stay with you, in fact, I'm also very curious about the next content"

Although the character is shy and weak.

However, seeing Ichigo waving his Zanpakutō in the video, Orihime gathered her courage and can't wait to see more pictures.

"Alright, then let's stick together. Find out"

Ichigo nodded and changed the subject. "Speaking of which, what's that black sword in my hand?"

I don't know why.

The moment I saw Tensa Zangetsu.

He really had an indescribable kindness.

It seems like this jet-black sword has been with me for a long time.

"And many more..."

After Ichigo's reminder, Chad suddenly remembered the key clue and said in a deep voice. "Just now, I seem to hear you in the video saying the word Shinigami full of hostility. Could it be that... the one who fought with you, that man with facial paralysis, is the legendary Shinigami?"

I finished speaking,

Chad had a strange expression on his face.

In his impression, the so-called Shinigami usually have hideous faces, are covered in black cloaks and hold a sharp scythe in their hands.

This image has long been ingrained.

But...

The man with facial paralysis in the video is no different from a human being at all, he's even a bit handsome! He's clearly a handsome man with a noble temperament.

No...

Could it be that even Shinigamis are so curly these days?

"Shinigami?"

Whispering this strange term softly.

Ichigo frowned and after a moment's thought, shook his head and shook his head. "Chad, I think you think too much. Shinigami, it's just an urban legend, I don't think it's real"

"Moreover, according to your assumption, being able to face a Shinigami head-on with the same weapon, doesn't that mean I'm a Shinigami with a high probability too?"

Shaking his head, Chad replied.

"Ichigo, don't jump to conclusions. Even if it's not now, who knows what will happen in the future"

"Ah? You mean... these are images of the future?" Ichigo's eyes lit up.

Come to think of it, the self in the video, after putting on that black tuxedo, instantly full of looks and temperament.

It looks like this.

He looks cool to be a Shinigami.

See Ichigo's excited expression in his eyes.

Chad reminded him kindly. "Of course, I said it casually. Don't get happy too soon. After all, everything is unknown."

"Chad is right, let's watch it patiently, maybe the next clips will have the answer we want" Orihime agreed.

"Yeah, you're right..."

Ichigo clenched his fist and said with steady eyes.

"I think my appearance must not be casual, there must be more surprises in the future"

....

The screen changes.

Seireitei, in the Sixth Division.

Silence reigned in the squad room, so quiet that even the sound of a falling needle could be clearly heard.

"Captain... These photos should be fake, right?" Under the red urchin's head, Renji Abarai's lips trembled and he looked shakily at the figure sitting cross-legged in front of the wooden table.

Long black hair.

Leading hair accessory pliers.

Silver and white floral thread scarf.

As captain of the sixth division, Byakuya Kuchiki should have devoted himself to handling the team's affairs.

But now, he stood frozen in place as if petrified, silently watching the inventory video, stunned.

That beautiful face that had always been cold.

At that moment, everything was gloomy like a pool of stagnant water.

Yes.

Just like everywhere else.

In the sixth team's team affairs room, a curtain of transparent light also appeared.

And as captain, Byakuya Kuchiki sees everything.
