Chapter 1058: A Hundred Years Later (Happy New Year, Everyone)
"...I didn't expect that Kusanagi would attack me for the Zanpakutō, so I had no choice but to fight back. In the end, I won, but he was secretly executed." Originally Toshiro wanted to give up the Zanpakutō, but unfortunately Central Room 46 did not allow it, so he could only stand in the arena and was forced to fight with his friends. In the end, he won, and Toshiro always felt guilty.
The story was not very long, and none of the three of them drank. After listening to it, Dulan said, "So that's it, the boat of friendship can really capsize at the drop of a hat. It's no wonder that your friend is still restless after his death. He doesn't accept his feelings." ah."
Toshiro was very uncomfortable with Duran's attitude: "If I had given up the Zanpakuto at that time, everything would not be like this."
"I don't think so. You are indeed wrong, but the fault is not that you didn't give up, but that you didn't beat your friend mercilessly and gave him the illusion that he could still win. This is what happened after his death. Why do you still want to cause trouble?"
"You don't understand the friendship between me and Cao Guan at all." Dong Shilang was very angry, thinking that Dulan's words were an insult to his friendship with his good friend.
Que Bu felt that Dulan was right. Since the two had to compete, it would be better to fight boldly. It would be better to die by the sword of a friend than to be assassinated by Central Room 46. However, this was the first time that two Shinigami obtained the same Zanpakutō. Even the immortal from two thousand years ago said he had never seen it before.
Theoretically speaking, the Zanpakutō is the projection of the soul of the Death God. There are no two identical souls in the world, so naturally there will not be exactly the same Zanpakutō: "Are you and Kusanagi really two identical Zanpakutō? "
Toshiro didn't understand why Quebu asked, but he still nodded: "Yes."
Duran said: "Partner, I know what you are thinking. But in fact, if you think about it carefully, this kind of thing is rare but not completely impossible. If Soujiro Kusanagi has been imitating Toshiro, he will hypnotize himself. The moment he understood the Zanpakutō, it was indeed possible to hypnotize himself into Toshiro and obtain the same Zanpakutō. I am afraid that it happened a long time ago, otherwise there would not be such a rule in Central Room 46. "
"Imitation and hypnosis?" Quebu didn't know if this was possible, but it was an explanation. It wasn't important. What was important was the robber who stole the royal seal: "Then are you sure the robber is Soujiro Kusanagi? But according to your It is correct to say that he has been executed, how could he appear again? "
Toshiro said with disappointment: "Actually, I only heard rumors and didn't see it myself. Later, when I returned to the arena, I only saw a lot of blood and people from the firing squad, but not the corpse. Maybe he didn't see it at that time. Not even death."
That's it, Quebu nodded.
"Whether he is dead or not, the purpose of his return must be to dissatisfy the previous decision of Central Room 46, so sooner or later he will return to Soul Society to cause trouble. Captain Toshiro, you should go back and wait, and you will personally kill him then. "
Toshiro was very unhappy with Dulan's words to sow discord and glared at Dulan: "I will convince him to let go of his resentment. If he really needs Hyōrinmaru, I will give up Hyōrinmaru."
Dulan shook his head: "Why don't you understand? If you could really give up the Zanpakutō, none of this would have happened." "The Zanpakutō is the projection of the soul, and Hyōrinmaru definitely belongs to you." "Wrong." "I can also tell from your words that you are called a genius in school, and Sojiro Kusanagi doesn't have your talent even though he works hard. You can imagine how envious a young man who is working hard is envious of your talent. That’s why he keeps imitating you. Can you recall carefully whether he has been imitating you?”
Toshiro thought about it, but he didn't think so. At that time, they helped each other make progress and pointed out each other's shortcomings, and Cao Guan often pointed out Toshiro's movements. So he shook his head: "No, he didn't imitate me. Instead, he gave me a lot of help and made me progress faster."
"Pointing out your shortcomings means that he has been studying you and pointing you out in the hope that the person you imitate will be stronger. All of this is understandable." Dulan still insisted on his statement. Dong Shirou has always been imitated. Not surpassed.
"In short, you are the real owner of Hyōrinmaru. What Kusanagi gets is just Hyōrinmaru's projection. If you really give him the Zanpakutō, you will harm him." "The Zanpakutō is the projection of the soul. If Kusanagi gets the complete Hyōrinmaru, then his soul will become another one of you, and the personality named Kusanagi will disappear forever."
It’s too sensational. Is this okay? Toshiro looked unbelieving, and Quebu also felt that Dulan's words were too exaggerated.
"No, that won't happen."
"It's possible. Otherwise, why would the Central Room 46 have such regulations?" "Although everyone doesn't like the Central Room 46, you have to admit that in terms of the management of Soul Society, the Central Room 46 is the most important one. They have always been conscientious. Although they are unkind and abuse capital punishment, their main goal is the safety of Soul Society. This cannot be denied. "It is basically certain that the two Zanpakutō will have any negative effects. "Dulan hasn't said it all yet. If this method is possible, he can train a group of Shinigami to imitate and hypnotize them to master the Zanpakutō like his own, and then give up the Zanpakutō and replace the other Shinigami's. If the soul becomes one's own, then the Shinigami can survive in this form forever: "So even the same Zanpakutō can only appear again after the previous holder dies. This must be the same as close relatives cannot marry. regular."
For example, now that Toshiro has given up Hyorinmaru, Kusanagi, who has obtained the complete Hyorinmaru by imitating Toshiro, has his soul affected by his Zanpakuto, and has become another Toshiro. This is equivalent to having two Toshiro with different appearances in the world. If this phenomenon is discovered by the bad guys, they can completely train other Shinigami to imitate hypnosis, let them also master Hyorinmaru, and then let Kusanagi give up Hyorinmaru. In this way, the soul has been reshaped again, and there will be three Toshiro.
This can completely develop into possession, which is an alternative immortality of the Shinigami.
"No matter what, the identity of the robber is temporarily set as Kusanagi Sojiro. I will report the situation to the captain immediately." Suzube was about to leave.
Crash!
A dark crack suddenly opened in front of Suzube who turned around, and a sword blade in the crack went straight to his chest.
Suzube's mustache was raised, but everything changed so suddenly that he had no time to react and shouted that his life was over. But with Duran here, how could he let his partner die? The void grabbed and pulled Suzube back, barely avoiding the slash from the void.
A man with a white mask walked out of the different space, and Dong Shilang immediately recognized that the other party was the robber he had been chasing: "Kusaka, is that you?"
With mixed feelings, Dong Shilang hoped that his friend was still alive, but he didn't want his friend to live in this way.
The man took off his mask, revealing a face that Dong Shilang was very familiar with. Who else could it be if not Kusaka Sojiro? "Long time no see, Hitsugaya-kun." A long-lost greeting, but the identities of the two people are completely different. The former classmates and friends have now become a dead end with opposing positions. The entanglement of friendship, the confrontation of identity, the strokes of marriage and fate will merge into a circle called destiny today, a hundred years later.
