I'm losing every time, so I'm done playing—time to type!

Meanwhile, on the other side, Inoue's Brother had already approached the home of Orihime.

Inside the house, Orihime and Tatsuki Arisawa were chatting together, completely unaware. Since they hadn't been affected by the spiritual pressure of Kurosaki Ichigo yet, they had never seen the abilities of a Hollow.

Even as Inoue's Brother entered the home through a black hole, the two girls remained oblivious. It wasn't until a teddy bear nearby was torn apart by the friction of the Hollow's massive body that they noticed something was wrong.

"Huh?" Orihime hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the doll from the floor: "Enraku, how did you get ripped like this?"

If she possessed spiritual vision, she would have seen a behemoth standing before her, its head brushing against the ceiling. The blood-red pupils of Inoue's Brother were locked onto Orihime, filled with a complex mix of emotions.

Emptiness, greed, loneliness, and sorrow were all tangled together.

Hollows are formed from a portion of the deceased. Due to their attachment to the Human World or other obstructive factors—such as being bound to a specific location—they cannot ascend and instead linger in places that draw them in.

Some of them, after years of being tormented by grief, eventually degenerate into Hollows. But this is not true for all; Inoue's Brother belonged to the second category, his soul merged and controlled by another Hollow, passively degenerating into one.

Regardless of the type, the moment they become a Hollow, their instinct is to devour souls, with high-spiritual-power souls being the primary target. However, if they cannot consume such souls, they will attack those they loved most in life to fill the void in their chests!

Tatsuki Arisawa leaned in to take a look at the tear in the teddy bear. She frowned slightly, as the tear didn't look like it had occurred naturally; it looked more like it had been sliced by a sharp blade.

However, this confusion was interrupted by a step taken by the invisible Hollow. As the room shook, a look of panic appeared on both girls' faces, and right in the space they couldn't see...

Inoue's Brother reached his giant hand directly toward Orihime. In an instant, it pierced through her chest. While there was no physical wound on Orihime's body, in the realm they couldn't see... her soul was knocked right out.

Amidst the sound of clanking chains, Orihime's physical body collapsed to the floor. An invisible chain formed from her chest, connecting to her soul, which was now staring in terror at the behemoth in the room.

"Orihime!" Seeing this, Tatsuki was startled. She stepped forward, intending to check on Orihime's condition, but was swiped away by a flick of Inoue's Brother's hand.

What? What just happened? What is this monster?

Orihime's soul watched the monster attacking Tatsuki, her body trembling uncontrollably.

On the other side, Inoue's Brother had already knocked Tatsuki to the ground. Her shoulder was torn by those sharp claws, blood flowing freely, and that terrifying, massive hand was clamped tightly around her neck, causing her face to turn a shade of purple!

"This isn't the time to be thinking about that!" Seeing this, Orihime grew anxious. She stood up, ready to rush over.

Snap—

Just then, the window of the house shattered completely. A person with both hands shielding their face, whose features were unclear, burst through the window, leaving the two girls and the Hollow stunned by the sudden turn of events.

"Hahaha, found you!"

The one who burst through the window was none other than Wu Biao. After rolling upon landing, he grabbed the Hollow's tail and swung it with all his might.

Orihime stood frozen in place, staring blankly at the monster that had been swung and slammed hard against the wall, unable to speak for a long time.

On the other side, although Tatsuki couldn't see the Hollow, she could feel the pressure on her neck vanish after the strange man performed the swinging motion.

Wu Biao grinned ferociously as he swung Inoue's Brother around, feeling quite excited. However, he was clearly too excited and ignored the size of the room; with his powerful swing, Inoue's Brother slammed directly into the wall.

Boom!

With a loud explosion, dust filled the air. Amidst the screams of Inoue's Brother, the entire wall shattered, and the slightly chilly night wind blew in through the gap.

Oh no...

The moment he saw the wall collapse, Wu Biao cursed inwardly. He was going to have to pay for this!

Because of this, his grip on the tail loosened, and Inoue's Brother shot out like a cannonball, instantly smashing through the wall outside the Inoue residence.

"..."

The corners of Wu Biao's mouth twitched slightly. He then silently pulled a cigarette from his lab coat and lit it. After taking a drag with a look of profound melancholy, he turned to look at the two girls in the room.

"Actually... sometimes what you see isn't necessarily the truth. Everything that just happened was just a hallucination. Do you understand what I'm saying?"

Both girls shook their heads simultaneously. How could they possibly understand?

"Anyway, I don't have any money. Please go ask that guy downstairs for the repair costs!"

"..." The two girls were speechless. After something like this, who cared about the house? What kind of brain did this kid, who looked even younger than them, have?

Tatsuki looked at Wu Biao. She still felt like she was in a dream regarding what had just happened, and her mind was filled with countless questions.

However, Wu Biao's appearance clearly provided an outlet for these doubts.

"Who are you? What just happened? It felt like something invisible was choking my neck! And what happened to Orihime?" A series of questions poured out of Tatsuki's mouth.

She didn't stay idle, though, dragging her sore body over to Orihime's physical form.

"I don't know!"

"Huh?"

"I just got here too. How could I possibly know what kind of argument you two little girls had that led you to kill that orange-haired girl in a fit of rage?" Wu Biao looked at the scene, taking a drag of his cigarette as he analyzed the situation.

I have to say... his analysis always managed to veer off into strange directions!

Tatsuki was speechless for a moment, then shocked: "You mean... Orihime is dead?"

"Duh, her ghost is right next to you, looking at you with such resentment!" Wu Biao said, looking at Orihime, who was staring blankly at her own body from behind Tatsuki.

This is my body, so am I a ghost now?

Orihime thought blankly. But after hearing Wu Biao's words, she blinked at him and said: "Tatsuki didn't kill me!"

"Oh, so that little girl didn't kill her!" Wu Biao nodded indifferently. On the other side, Tatsuki turned around in terror, looking behind her: "Orihime?"

"Roar--" At this moment, the roar of Inoue's Brother reached them. His massive body floated directly into the air, and he charged straight at Wu Biao, no longer concerned with any sense of fear.

First, he had failed to devour a high-spirit entity, and now, his attempt to reach his most beloved sister was being obstructed. This had driven his remaining consciousness into a state of total madness, and he lunged at Wu Biao with murderous intent, ready to tear him apart.

"The two of you, get back!" Wu Biao let out a sinister grin.

"What's wrong?" Tatsuki Arisawa was startled. Recalling the bizarre scene from earlier, fear welled up in her heart, and for a moment, she forgot to listen to Wu Biao's instructions.

Orihime's soul, however, saw the Hollow attacking and immediately grabbed Tatsuki to pull her backward.

"Ahhh..." A terrified scream rang out, but in the blink of an eye, Tatsuki swallowed it back. Remembering Wu Biao's earlier words, she looked at her own shoulder and hesitated, "Orihime?"

On the other side, the Hollow had already charged up, his massive mouth gaping wide, the upper jaw reaching all the way to the top of his head. The posture suggested he intended to bite Wu Biao's head clean off and chew it up.

Seeing this, Wu Biao showed no sign of panic. Just as that massive maw reached within half a meter of him, Wu Biao lunged forward in a low crouch, instantly closing the distance beneath Inoue's Brother.

"Go flying!" Accompanied by a violent roar, Wu Biao delivered a heavy punch directly to the lower jaw of Inoue's Brother. The massive mouth slammed shut, and with the collision of the upper and lower jaws, the teeth shattered into pieces as the creature's body was sent soaring into the sky.

Watching Inoue's Brother hurtling straight toward the ceiling, Wu Biao's expression shifted. He hurriedly leaped up, dug his fingers into the Hollow hole, and forcibly dragged Inoue's Brother back down before swinging him out toward the side of the wall that had already crumbled.

"Scared the hell out of me. If the wall breaks, that's one thing, but if the ceiling shatters, I'll tear you into scraps," Wu Biao muttered to himself as he watched Inoue's Brother crash heavily onto the street.

"Brother Biao!"

Kurosaki Ichigo arrived at that moment. Seeing the state of the Inoue residence, his mouth twitched, and he asked Rukia, who was strapped to his back, "This... can you fix this?"

"Think about your own house..." Rukia replied irritably.

"..."

Kurosaki Ichigo was speechless; his house had just been repaired today!

"Yo, you guys are here!" Wu Biao leaped down from the second floor of the Inoue residence and landed a heavy stomp directly onto the head of Inoue's Brother. Accompanied by the creature's wail, its massive skull was driven straight into the ground.

"Hahaha, you guys are late!"
