Just Had a Dream, Only to Find an Idiot Pestering Me for Updates at My Bedside

Someone is holding a knife to my throat, forcing me to update.

"What's wrong with him?"

Shyarly watched Wu Biao wolfing down his food at the table and couldn't help but ask in confusion. You had to understand, this freeloader usually never kept his mouth still at the dinner table. And it wasn't his mouth for eating, but his mouth for talking.

Whenever it was time to eat, Wu Biao always had all sorts of topics to bring up, which was incredibly annoying.

But today, Wu Biao was acting extremely out of character. Not only was he sitting there without saying a word, but his face also bore a rare, serious expression.

It seems the things that parrot said last night really made Brother Biao angry! Kurosaki Ichigo, who had just woken up and finished washing, thought to himself as he looked at Brother Biao's appearance.

Thinking of this, Kurosaki Ichigo cast his gaze toward the parrot on Wu Biao's shoulder and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It was no wonder Brother Biao felt angry; that piece of human trash had tormented Yuichi's family while he was alive, and even after death, he wouldn't let Yuichi go.

"I'm full!"

Wu Biao slammed his rice bowl—no, the entire rice cooker—onto the table, then turned to Kurosaki Isshin, who had just walked out from the other side. "Boss, I'm going out for a stroll today. Give me a day off!"

Kurosaki Isshin naturally knew what Wu Biao was planning to do. He nodded to himself, suddenly feeling that this kid was becoming more and more to his liking.

"Go ahead, be careful!" As he said this, Kurosaki Isshin stepped forward, pulled two banknotes from his pocket, and handed them to Wu Biao. "Come back early. If you can't make it back for lunch, go buy yourself something to eat!"

"Mm!" Wu Biao nodded, took the money, and stuffed it directly into the pocket of his white lab coat.

Seeing this, Kurosaki Isshin shook his head. "Use the rest of the money to buy some clothes. You're a fine young man; stop walking around in that lab coat all the time!" As he spoke, he glanced sideways at Kurosaki Ichigo. Look at him, then look at you—always wanting to buy new clothes.

"..." Kurosaki Ichigo's mouth twitched slightly. He didn't need to be told what that look meant, but... he basically wore his school uniform every day. When had he ever asked to buy new clothes!

Did you buy the Shihakusho for me, or what?

Ignoring the silent battle of glares between father and son, Wu Biao walked straight out the door. He knew that bastard Hollow could appear at any moment, so it was better to leave early; it wouldn't be good if the Kurosaki Clinic got caught in the crossfire!

"You're still here!" Just as he stepped outside, Wu Biao saw a familiar figure crouching outside the Kurosaki Clinic. Upon seeing him walk out, the person stood up and walked over. It was Sado Yasutora.

"I want to help too," Sado Yasutora stated his purpose concisely.

Wu Biao glanced at him. "Then follow along!" With that, he ignored Sado and walked straight toward the distance. Sado followed closely behind him, the two figures—one tall and one short—gradually fading into the morning sunlight.

"Wait—"

Kurosaki Ichigo, in his Shinigami form, and Rukia had also caught up at some point. Wu Biao turned his head to glance at them, his face expressionless. "What are you two doing here? I'm enough on my own!"

Kurosaki Ichigo chuckled. Such a serious Brother Biao gave off an indescribable aura of power that made one feel a subconscious sense of fear, but he still said, "Brother Biao, I'm just here to watch. I won't interfere!"

"Suit yourself!"

Wu Biao muttered, then turned to ask Rukia, "Where exactly do those monsters live? Why can I feel them one moment and then not at all the next?"

Although he didn't know this woman's identity, even as slow as Wu Biao was, he had noticed that Kurosaki Ichigo had undergone a major change ever since she appeared. This was clearly her doing.

Rukia looked at Wu Biao with some suspicion, gathered her thoughts, and said, "When a Hollow that has come to the Human World isn't doing anything evil, it hides in the gap between the Human World and the Soul Society. You can only detect its presence when it comes out to attack. Understand?"

"So that's how it is!" Wu Biao nodded as if he understood perfectly, then pondered for a long while. "In other words... hmm, anyway, as long as I have Yuichi with me, I can find him, right?"

Where on earth did you get that 'so that's how it is' from...

Rukia sighed in resignation. "Just take it as you said!"

As for Sado Yasutora on the other side, he had groped his way over to Kurosaki Ichigo's side. It was like a child playing blind man's buff; he was following the sounds he heard.

It had to be said that the influence of Ichigo on his friends was already beginning to show. Although Sado still couldn't see spiritual bodies, he was already able to hear their voices.

Kurosaki Ichigo couldn't help but smile as he watched Sado groping his way over, and he stepped forward to take Sado's hand and pull him along.

"Is that you, Ichigo?"

"It's him!" Wu Biao answered for Ichigo casually and walked straight ahead. "If you have any questions, ask him yourself later. I don't get it anyway; I just want to beat that bastard into the sky!"

Ichigo couldn't help but smile at this. Such a Brother Biao made people feel safe and very heroic!

Perhaps this was the unique charm of Brother Biao, which was why he had brought home a man he had only met twice!

The journey was silent. Under Wu Biao's lead, the group arrived at an abandoned factory. Kurosaki Ichigo looked around and asked, "Brother Biao, how did you know about a place like this?"

Sitting down on a random broken stone, Wu Biao pulled out a cigarette and lit it before saying with disdain, "This is a gathering spot for a bunch of little punks. My hands were itching last time, so I found them and gave them a beating!"

"..." The three of them were silent. Sado was fine, but Ichigo and Rukia, who knew the extent of Wu Biao's destructive power, couldn't help but pity that group of so-called delinquents. Being targeted by such a violent maniac meant they definitely wouldn't have a good ending.

"Kid, when will that bastard appear?" Wu Biao asked Yuichi on his shoulder.

Yuichi shook his head. "I don't know, but... he comes out a few times every day, though not for long!"

Is it to avoid the pursuit of the Shinigami? Rukia thought to herself. She didn't know that this Hollow had been a serial killer in his previous life and was already well-versed in evasion techniques. Once he learned that Shinigami were hunting Hollows, he spent most of his time hiding in the gaps.

Only at the moment of the kill would he step out from the gap, playing with his prey like a cat with a mouse.

Just as Yuichi's voice fell, Wu Biao suddenly looked into the distance, a savage arc slowly curling at the corner of his mouth. "Looks like the mouse has finally come out of its hole!"

Rukia was surprised to see this; she hadn't sensed anything at all. Had this battle maniac's sensory ability reached such a level? Thinking of this, she turned to look at Ichigo. "Did you feel it?"

"No..." Before he could finish, Ichigo's face darkened. "I feel it now!" As he spoke, he also looked in the direction Wu Biao was staring at.

Rukia followed his gaze and was indeed shocked to see a black shadow in the sky in the distance, approaching them at high speed.

How could his sensory ability be so terrifying?

One had to know that the Hell Butterfly hadn't even given a notification yet, meaning that even the Soul Society hadn't discovered the appearance of this Hollow. Yet, the moment it appeared, Wu Biao had already sensed it and could even pinpoint its exact location!
