Bleach-Stir Up

Ashido’s residence is deeper in the inner circle.

As we continue to deepen, there are more and more trees shining brightly around. If you don’t know clearly that your location is under the ground of Hueco Mundo, Kotōmi will feel that this is the beauty of elves inhabited. Forest.

According to Ashido's introduction, this place is called Forest of Menos, where the subordinate Menos Grande Gillian and other Ordinary Hollows live. The Hollow that invaded Human World most likely came from here.

Kotōmi is incomprehensible about this. The place where Ashido lives is already regarded as the core of Hueco Mundo. Gillian and more Ordinary Hollows who are about to enter the Gillian level live underground. According to Kotōmi’s observations, this kind of Hollow is not Will easily invade Human World.

Ashido also explained this point. The so-called Forest of Menos actually refers to the underground of Hueco Mundo, including the place Kotōmi first thought was the outer circle, which is also included, and most of the Hollow Activities are relatively inward. Except for the newly born Hollow, it is really rare for the elderly Hollow to be on the periphery like Seth.

The inner and outer circles are actually called on the ground. There is a desert there. Except that some places are ruined and broken, the location can be distinguished. There is really no big difference in other places.

When I came to a cave, where Ashido lived in it, Kotōmi told Seth to move around, and then entered the within cave.

The cave is a very simple hut, lit by the flames emitted by Kidō, except for some artificial stone beds and tables and stools, there is nothing extra.

One of the walls was cut into a shelf with some Gotei 13 player armbands and broken Zanpakutō. It can be seen that these knives have no owners.

"these all are left by my friends, and this." Ashido said, taking off the mask on his face, looking at it and said softly.

Kotōmi looked at the red-haired, facing the young Ashido. Sure enough, there was no impression of this face in his mind.

"How long have you been here, why are you the only one who survived?"

"I don't remember, it should have been a long time since I thought about it."

Ashido shook the head and continued: "Our entire group came after Hollow. At first, we didn’t know how to hide ourselves. We went to war with Hollow day and night. After we were exhausted, we all followed Hollow. I fell down."

Shinigami is easily discovered by Hollow. This is not only something that can be avoided by suppressing Reiryoku, but Kotōmi only learned about it after coming here.

According to Ashido, he discovered this accidentally after getting the Hollow mask on his face from his last friend. After that, he collected the fur and mask left by Hollow after his death, and made the clothes on his body. As long as he does not release Reiryoku with all his strength, he will not attract a large number of Hollow over.

As for whether Hollow will leave a corpse, it shouldn’t be possible in theory. After all, they and Shinigami’s body are both Spirit Physique made of Reishi in essence.

After Shinigami died, the corpse would turn into Reishi little by little and eventually disappear in the Soul Society. Therefore, the cemeteries in Seireitei are almost full of garments, some even have a tombstone, and there is nothing inside.

The same is true for Hollow. Kotōmi killed a lot of Hollow during Soul Society, and their bodies will soon become Reishi and disappear. The same is true for Human World.

Only in Hueco Mundo, Hollow’s corpse can be preserved, and only Hollow’s corpse can be preserved. The specific reason for Kotōmi is still unclear, but Hueco Mundo is indeed different from Soul Society. There are far more unknown secrets than Soul Society that can give birth to a world like Hollow.

"Why don't you return to Human World through Hollow and return to Seireitei?" Kotōmi asked slowly, his tone of voice has become much milder. So far, Ashido's explanation is more convincing.

"We are here to protect the human soul and defend the dignity of Shinigami. Until death, none of my companions regretted it." Ashido looked at the mask in his hand and smiled at the corner of his mouth. It seems to remember the best time.

"They are dead, I always have to give them an explanation, and I also believe that as long as I fight here, Human World will be less harassed by Hollow." Then, Ashido will Looking away from the mask, Kotōmi asked sincerely, "Now, has the number of Hollows appearing in Human World reduced a little?"

"The old man will soon become Seireitei, so I don’t know the situation of Human World."

How could this great Hueco Mundo be changed by the killing of one person, and how could Hollow be a life that can be solved by killing only, Ashido His efforts are destined to be in vain.

Kotōmi told a white lie, but it aroused Ashido’s vigilance. Earlier he said that his actions to protect Hollow were Seireitei’s secrets, but he is now in Seireitei again soon. This is not a contradiction. Is it?

"Excuse me, what is your name, I didn’t seem to have seen your character before I left Seireitei."

"You can call old man green, when I left Seireitei , Let alone you, even a kid like Kuroyashiki hasn’t been born yet.”

Kotōmi could of course guess Ashido’s concerns, so he continued: “But even after leaving Seireitei, the old man and you Same, I am a Shinigami, and I also need to run for Seireitei."

"What about the so-called secrets?"

"Secrets are secrets, you don't need to know." Kotōmi Shen He scolded a sentence, and then continued: "The old man will not explain to you, you only need to know that the purpose of the old man is the same as you."

"Protect Hollow's actions Send me unheard-of..."

"This is not the only thing you haven't heard of, and the way to protect the Human World is not just endless killing this!" Kotōmi interrupted Ashido. Seeing the other party still looked entangled, he suddenly asked: "Are you staying here with hatred towards Hollow to keep your partner's agreement, or simply for revenge, and think clearly, kid!" "

"I want to keep the promise!" Ashido answered Kotōmi's question without hesitation, and he was extremely sure of this.

It was just the enemy he faced, but one day he was protected by Shinigami like him, which made him feel an inexplicable sense of betrayal.

"But after protecting Hollow, how can I be worthy of the soul who was Devouring by them? How could I be worthy of my companions who died to protect the soul?"

"You are worthy or sorry for those Those who died, those living souls should be Devouring or Devouring." Kotōmi pointed to Ashido and said solemnly: "Don't lead unsuspecting people down a narrow road just because you really thought that day!"

Ashido thought for a while, what Kotōmi said is not unreasonable, even if he is desperately beheading Hollow, there will still be souls being Hollow Devouring in Human World.

And if the temporary protection of Hollow can gradually reduce the number of Hollows that invade Human World, and even if Hollow can no longer invade Human World, then his and his companions' wishes will be fulfilled.

It's just that he couldn't accept it for a while, and Kotōmi could guess the entanglement in the opponent's heart by looking at Ashido's clenched fist.
