Chapter 170 Two Peculiar Perspectives

As the sun sets, its afterglow lazily spills onto the streets of Karakura Town, casting a golden hue over the area.

The streets, usually bustling with traffic, were now deserted, without a single pedestrian, making it seem particularly eerie.

Fang Zheng was observing all of this through Rukia Kuchiki's perspective.

"Interesting! Different perspectives reveal completely different worlds?"

Just now, what he saw through the observer mode was a bustling street scene, but when he entered Kuchiki Rukia's perspective again, the street was almost empty, with only the occasional passing soul coming into view.

As the streetlights flickered, Fang Zheng noticed a middle-aged man in a suit sitting by the roadside below.

At first glance, the man seemed to be a living person. In the setting sun, his shadow was stretched long, and he sat there alone, sighing and looking quite lonely.

However, a chain of medium length was attached to his chest, embedded directly in his flesh.

"Does the form of the soul differ from different perspectives?"

"Or rather, it becomes clearer and closer to reality?"

From the very beginning, from the perspective of Fang Zheng entering the interior of Kurosaki Ichigo and Nishiyama Rin, he could indeed see the existence of souls.

Initially, the souls seen from Ichigo Kurosaki's perspective had semi-transparent bodies. Some floated in mid-air, while others hovered on the ground. No chains were visible on their chests, much like the ghosts in movies and TV shows that could pass through walls at will.

Until noon, when the monster that the girl in the black kimono called "Hollow" attacked, seemingly due to some kind of power or pressure, Ichigo Kurosaki and Rin Nishiyama's perspectives suddenly changed.

The once bustling crowd vanished instantly, and the whole world seemed to be shrouded in a warm-colored filter, becoming both blurry and luminous.

The attacking phantom instantly transformed into something resembling a real wild beast, its form crystal clear and terrifyingly ferocious.

Interestingly, after Rin Nishiyama was controlled by Fang Zheng and killed the Hollow, from Rin Nishiyama and Ichigo Kurosaki's perspective, the previously disappeared crowd suddenly reappeared, and the damage marks left by the Hollow on the ground also disappeared out of thin air.

We are in the same world, but it seems to be divided into different levels.

It is difficult for the living to see ghosts, and from the perspective of ghosts, it is also difficult to see the figures of the living.

From the perspective of the living, ghosts can pass through walls at will and float around and fly everywhere; but from the perspective of the girl, the ghost, she can only walk on the ground like a living person and cannot pass through walls.

How do these two different levels overlap, and what are the patterns involved?

"Perhaps it's like two overlapping cities, one for the living and one for the ghosts. In these two different cities, there's a difference in the height of the buildings, so from the perspective of the living, some ghosts can pass through walls or even float freely."

"Moreover, living people seem unable to interfere with the world from the perspective of ghosts, and cannot destroy buildings in the ghost world; while ghosts can selectively interfere with the perspective of living people."

Just like a young girl today, she can make the world she sees seem empty by switching her perspective, even though the city should be bustling and in the middle of rush hour.

puff!

She activated Shunpo, drew her Zanpakuto, and the sharp blade cleanly and decisively cleaved through the hideous white Hollowface. Rukia Kuchiki wiped the blood off the blade, but her brows remained furrowed as she pulled out her phone from her pocket.

Drop drop... drop drop...

The alarm continued to sound, which meant that at least one more lurking creature was still hidden in the shadows.

Spiritual energy surged beneath her feet, and she activated her Instant Step once more, speeding off in the general direction indicated by her phone, her heart filled with worry.

"What's going on today? We rarely see Hollows, but they're showing up one after another?"

Generally speaking, compared to Soul Society and Hueco Mundo, where everything is made of spirit particles, even air and water, the present world, which is made of vessel particles mixed with a portion of spirit particles, is like a desert.

Whether it's an ordinary soul or a corrupted evil spirit like a Hollow, in Soul Society and Hueco Mundo, as long as the spiritual power intensity doesn't reach a certain level, they can survive for a long time by simply breathing in spiritual particles.

In the mortal realm, the situation is similar to that of ordinary creatures roaming in the desert. The scarcity of spirit particles leads to physical discomfort and a strong urge to prey. Only those weak individuals born in the mortal realm who have not yet had the chance to go to Hueco Mundo, or those who are simply too weak to compete with other powerful Hollows in Hueco Mundo, will choose to go to the mortal realm to prey on the weak souls of humans.

Wild animals have their own hunting territories, and so do animals.

In the present world, the spiritual particles of the souls of living people are generally very small, and they are of little nutritional value to the unseen. Therefore, their territory of activity is often very large.

They also deliberately avoid other voids because, compared to the bland and tasteless human soul, voids, being of the same kind, are more nutritious. When different voids get close to each other, they will prey on their own kind first.

The worry on her face hadn't faded, and Rukia Kuchiki murmured to herself, "If these lowly Hollows choose to gather together, then what is it that attracts them?"

……

Location: Ichigo Kurosaki's home.

Ichigo Kurosaki lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, constantly recalling the scene he had witnessed at noon.

He clenched his fists tightly, a strong sense of irritation welling up inside him.

"He was actually protected by such a young child..."

"An evil spirit? There are actually such powerful evil spirits? And what's wrong with Rin? Why does she possess such terrifying power?"

A dark spot in the corner of the ceiling caught his attention. "That must be bloodstains from a couple of days ago that weren't cleaned up properly."

So what exactly happened these past few days?

A right hand that suddenly exploded and then regenerated, Uncle Inoki who suddenly revived, and Rin who suddenly revived...

He clenched his fists, carefully comparing the subtle difference in skin tone between his left and right hands. "Ultimately, have I really awakened some extraordinary ability?"

"It's just like the protagonist of a light novel."

"Ha!" With a sudden sharpening look in his eyes, Kurosaki Ichigo raised his right fist and hissed, "Awaken! My power!"

"Kamehameha!" The right hand fell, both hands went to the waist, the palms bloomed like flowers and then were released, and the veins on the forehead bulged.

"Dongdongbo!"

"Devil Penetrating Light Killing Cannon!"

"Fist of the North Star!"

"Ripple sprint!"

……

This 15-year-old boy with orange hair, although past his teenage years, still strikes various poses in his room, seemingly trying to awaken some mysterious power deep within him.

After a long while, he sighed, his expression dazed. "It really didn't work."

"Even if it's a light novel or anime, awakening power still requires rigorous training."

"Sigh..." He stretched. "Time to go down for dinner."

"As for psychic abilities, let's just take it one step at a time..."

boom!
A loud bang suddenly exploded, and everything around seemed to be slowed down, as if time itself had slowed down.

"what!"
