The So-called Madman Is Someone Who Goes Shirtless in Midwinter and Complains of the Heat!

Chapter 6: A madman is someone who walks shirtless in the dead of winter and shouts that it's hot!

"I'm home!" Kurosaki Ichigo pushed the door open, his voice devoid of energy.

A dark shadow lunged forward at incredible speed, and without a word, a footprint was planted squarely on Kurosaki Ichigo's face.

The strike landed perfectly, sending Kurosaki Ichigo, who had only just stepped into the house, stumbling backward while clutching his nose.

"You bastard, is that any way to welcome a son who just got home after an exhausting day?" Kurosaki Ichigo immediately jumped up in a rage.

"It's all because you, you brat, came home so late!"

"..."

As the saying goes, there is no point in talking to those who don't see eye to eye. After a few heated words, the two began a father-son brawl right there in the entryway.

Yuzu Kurosaki and Shyarly didn't even glance over, acting as if they didn't see the eccentric pair at all, continuing to eat their meal at a leisurely pace.

Wu Biao, however, was cradling an entire rice cooker, shoveling rice into his mouth with a spatula while watching the father-son battle with great interest: "No, no, use your legs, Boss! Ichigo, quick, take advantage of the opening, go for a low kick to the crotch..."

As for the rice cooker he was holding, it had been bought specifically for Wu Biao because his appetite was simply too massive. Every time they cooked, they made two pots: one for the Kurosaki family and one for Wu Biao.

And once the Kurosaki family finished their meal, whatever rice was left in their pot would also be devoured by Wu Biao, leading Shyarly to remark more than once: It's a good thing we don't own a dog, otherwise, it would have starved to death!

Finally, Yuzu couldn't take it anymore and spoke up to intervene: "You two, that's enough! The food is going to get cold!"

"Let them be, Yuzu!" Shyarly didn't even turn her head, simply handing her bowl to Yuzu: "One more serving!"

"I actually think this is pretty fun!" Wu Biao watched their fight, his hands itching, dying to join in: "Boss, Ichigo, count me in!"

"..." The Kurosaki father and son froze instantly. After a few seconds, Kurosaki Isshin straightened his collar and patted Ichigo on the shoulder with a loving expression: "Welcome home, son!"

"I'm home, Dad!"

"Well then, let's eat!"

"Yeah."

Wu Biao watched as the Kurosaki father and son appeared at the dining table in a flash, beginning their meal with serious expressions, and blinked in confusion: "Why did you stop fighting?"

Who the hell would want to fight a non-human like you!

Kurosaki Isshin and Kurosaki Ichigo's eye twitched in unison. Over the past few days, they had come to a clear realization: this guy in front of them wasn't just an incredible eater, he was also terrifyingly strong in a fight.

Often, when this bastard claimed to be using only ten percent of his strength, the resulting impact would leave them aching for days. This led the Kurosaki father and son to a firm conclusion: unless they had a death wish... they must never spar with this non-human!!!

Seeing this, Yuzu smiled adorably and served a bowl of rice to each of them.

Shyarly, on the other hand, glanced toward the back and said irritably: "Big Brother Ichigo, someone followed you home again!"

Kurosaki Ichigo looked back and sure enough, saw a middle-aged man with glasses floating behind him, which immediately made a look of indignation appear on his face: "You bastard, you actually followed me all the way home!"

Wu Biao looked toward Kurosaki Ichigo, feeling a bit confused: "Did another ghost follow you?"

"Yeah!" Yuzu nodded slightly, pointing behind Ichigo: "There's a phantom there, but unlike Big Brother Ichigo and Shyarly, I can barely make out a rough outline."

"That's still better than me, I can't see anything at all!" Wu Biao looked behind Ichigo with a hint of envy: "I wonder if there are any vengeful spirits; if there are, they must be really strong. Too bad... I don't have that kind of spirit vision!"

"Vengeful spirits!" Shyarly scoffed, not even looking up: "I don't believe in any ghosts or gods!"

Yuzu was surprised to hear this: "But can't Shyarly see them too? The only ones who can't are Brother Biao and Dad!"

"Whether I can see them or not, as long as I don't believe in them, they don't exist."

"..." Yuzu was speechless.

Even the ghost himself floated over with a speechless expression!

"Hahahaha, I really do like your attitude!" Wu Biao let out a loud laugh; Ichigo's sister certainly had a lot of personality: "That's right! What ghosts? Whatever tries to mess with me, be it human or ghost, I'll just crush them all!"

"..." The Kurosaki family's eyes twitched. Did this violent maniac not know the meaning of fear?

The ghost's eye twitched as well; it seemed he had been completely ignored.

However, upon seeing the rice cooker Wu Biao was holding, he leaned in with great curiosity: "Seriously? Is this guy human? He's actually eating out of a rice cooker!"

Wu Biao naturally couldn't hear him, but Ichigo couldn't help but smile.

Indeed, anyone who saw Wu Biao's way of eating would doubt his species... and that strength of his was just too against the rules!

The ghost leaned in closer to observe Wu Biao carefully: "He looks human, so how can he eat so much?" As he spoke, he subconsciously reached out to touch him, though he knew it was futile because, aside from people like Kurosaki Ichigo, he could pass right through everyone else.

But the moment he reached out, Wu Biao's expression changed abruptly. He stood up from his chair in an instant and threw a punch in the direction of the ghost.

Pfft--

A sound like a fart reached the ears of those with spirit vision. They all looked up toward that spot, but the scene that unfolded made their pupils shrink in shock.

"How is that possible!!!"

Because the moment Wu Biao's punch hit the ghost, the phantom shattered instantly, finally dissipating into a wisp of blue smoke.

Soul destroyed?

Wu Biao looked left and right, his face full of indignation: "Damn it, which bastard just tried to ambush me? If you've got the guts, come out! I'll beat the hell out of you!"

"..." Kurosaki Ichigo and Kurosaki Shyarly's eyes twitched.

Kurosaki Ichigo looked at Wu Biao in horror: "Brother Biao, didn't you say you couldn't see them?"

"What are you talking about? What can you see or not see?" Wu Biao turned his head with a bewildered expression, yet he failed to notice that the moment the ghost shattered, a faint, imperceptible warmth flowed through his arm and into his body, as if it were a fragment of a soul!

"Right, did you guys see which bastard just tried to ambush me?"

Beside him, Isshin furrowed his brows almost imperceptibly: "Did something happen?"

"Biao-ge... just punched that ghost into pieces!" Ichigo said, looking at Wu Biao with a shocked expression.

Isshin's pupils constricted instantly as he watched Wu Biao looking around; he didn't look like someone who had seen a ghost and then struck it down at all.

It looked more like... instinct, a beast-like instinct that made him sense something was about to attack him, causing his body to trust that instinct instantly and launch a counterattack without even a second of thought.

Yet, such a terrifying instinctive reaction was even more shocking.

Because even the battle maniacs of the 11th Division might not possess such terrifying instincts!!!

Is this Wu Biao... really a human?

"Damn it, running away after a sneak attack, what the hell was that!" Wu Biao grumbled as he sat back down in his chair, completely unaware that he had just sent a ghost to total annihilation!

And these words further confirmed Isshin's hypothesis: Wu Biao's instincts were terrifyingly strong, and Wu Biao trusted his own instincts one hundred percent, without a shred of doubt that he might have sensed it wrong!!!

Is this really a human?
