Long Sword pierced Ginjo's body.
Blood dripped down the tip of the knife and soon dyed his white shirt red.
Ginjo lowered his head, covering the blade that penetrated his body with one hand, and never spoke.
"Ginjo!"
Riruka's face changed suddenly and he subconsciously ran forward.
Jackie stretched out his hand to stop her.
"Don't go there."
Tsukishima did not continue the attack.
He held Book of the End and stepped back while holding Orihime and Chad to distance themselves.
Ichigo saw this scene and could no longer care about other things.
"Ginjo!"
He activated Spirit Light Step and rushed directly towards Ginjo.
No matter what Ginjo did in the past, at least he was helping him persuade Tsukishima just now.
Now that the other party's body was pierced by a sword, he couldn't stand aside and watch.
But Yoriichi didn't move.
He stared at Ginjo, his eyes gradually becoming serious.
No.
After Ginjo was stabbed by Tsukishima, Reiatsu not only did not weaken, but also improved rapidly.
Among Transparent World, all the spiritual power in Ginjo's body became clearly visible.
The Reiatsu that were originally scattered on the limbs and torso were quickly gathering along the Reishi veins, and finally all rushed to the Cross on his neck.
That's not an instinctive reaction after an injury.
It's more like being prepared.
Ginjo kept his head down, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
Yoriichi understood something instantly.
"Wait, Ichigo."
He held it in his right hand, and a Gray Nichirin Blade appeared in his hand.
"There's something wrong with his state."
There are only two steps left from Ichigo to Ginjo.
Hearing the voice of Yoriichi, he subconsciously turned his head.
"Yoriichi, what did you just say?"
Before the words could even be finished, Ginjo suddenly raised his head.
All the pain and sadness on his face disappeared, replaced by an unabashed smile.
Cross bursts out with black spiritual light.
A two-handed sword took shape in an instant, and with a heavy sound of breaking wind, it slashed towards Ichigo's body.
"Careful, Ichigo."
Yoriichi turned his right hand upward, and Hekyō appeared in his palm.
His figure disappeared instantly.
The next moment, Yoriichi appeared behind Ichigo, raising Hekyō's sword to block Ginjo's sword.
Just when the blades were about to collide, Ginjo suddenly turned his wrist.
The two-handed sword changed direction and instead of continuing to slash at Ichigo's body, it passed by his waist.
Click.
Ichigo Substitute Shinigami Badge from the waist was chopped off with a sword.
Ginjo reached out his left hand and accurately grabbed the fallen document.
Yoriichi's eyes condensed.
He did not pursue, but stretched out his hand to grab Ichigo's shoulder, and exerted force under his feet instantly.
The two quickly retreated more than ten meters and landed in the middle of the open space outside the stronghold.
Ginjo suddenly showed hostility, and other Fullbringer present may not be trustworthy.
At least until it becomes clear how many people's pasts Tsukishima has modified, everyone must be on guard.
Ichigo stood firm, still looking confused.
He lowered his head and touched his waist, but only encountered a cut piece of fabric.
"My Substitute Badge..."
Ichigo raised his head suddenly.
"Ginjo, what are you doing?"
Ginjo did not answer.
He looked down at the Substitute Shinigami Badge in his hand, feeling the full power of Fullbring inside the document, and the smile on his face became more and more obvious.
Riruka also didn't respond.
She looked at Ginjo, then at Tsukishima standing in the distance, her mind almost went blank.
"Ginjo?"
"Why did you attack Ichigo?"
Jackie frowned.
She clearly saw just now that Ginjo's sword did not slash at Tsukishima, but almost hit Ichigo Kurosaki who was about to save him.
This is not an accidental injury at all.
From drawing the sword, to changing direction, to taking away Substitute Shinigami Badge, every move was well prepared.
"What the hell are you doing?"
Giriko held Pocket Watch and asked in a deep voice, "Mr. Ginjo, this is not among the original Contract."
Yukio has taken out the game console.
His fingers stopped on the button, but he didn't press it for a long time.
Everything that happened in front of him was completely beyond his judgment.
Obviously Tsukishima is the betrayer.
But now, Tsukishima stabbed Ginjo, and Ginjo took the opportunity to take away Substitute Badge from Ichigo.
Who is the enemy between these two people?
"Ginjo!"
Riruka couldn't help shouting, "You should say something!"
Ginjo still ignored her.
The white armor on Ichigo quickly appeared, and black lines spread along the chest and limbs.
Ichigo subconsciously reached out and touched his waist.
There should have been Substitute Soul Reaper Badge there, but now there is nothing there.
Substitute Shinigami Badge is his Fullbring medium.
After the certificate was taken away by Ginjo, although he could still maintain the armor, he could no longer fully control his power.
"Give me the stuff back."
Ichigo stared at Ginjo.
Ginjo finally raised his head.
"Don't be so anxious."
He held Substitute Shinigami Badge in the palm of his hand, and carried the Cross sword on his shoulder.
"This power has just been completed. It would be such a waste to return it to you now."
Ichigo Clenched his fists.
"Were you lying to me from the beginning?"
"That's right."
The person who answered him was not Ginjo.
Tsukishima stood in the distance and slowly raised Book of the End. There was still Ginjo's blood on the blade, but his expression became gentle again.
Ichigo looked at Tsukishima.
"Are you in the same group?"
"Always have."
Tsukishima said calmly, "I have never betrayed XCUTION."
Riruka was stunned in place.
"Impossible."
She clearly remembers the day Tsukishima left the organization, and also remembers her companions who later died at the hands of Tsukishima.
The sadness and anger are so real.
How could everything be fake?
"You obviously killed them."
"That's just the past that Mr. Ginjo wants you to remember."
Tsukishima Gently shake the blade.
"To be precise, it's the past I wrote for you."
After saying this, the expressions of Jackie and Giriko changed at the same time.
Yukio finally raised his head and looked at Tsukishima coldly.
"You modified our memories?"
"Yes."
Tsukishima did not deny it.
"In order for Ichigo Kurosaki to trust Mr. Ginjo, we need a betrayer and a group of companions who truly hate the betrayer."
"Mere acting can easily be seen through."
"So, I can only make you really believe it."
Riruka looked down at the puppet in his arms, and his body began to tremble slightly.
It turns out that her anger towards Tsukishima, the sadness she felt when she heard Ginjo's persuasion just now, and even the thought of wanting Tsukishima back at that moment were all based on the false past.
She raised her head sharply.
"Then why did you stab Ginjo just now?"
"Because only by Book of the End cutting into his past again can the previously inserted memory be released."
Tsukishima looked at Ginjo.
"The knife just now was not meant to kill him."
"But let him regain his true memory."
Ichigo finally understands.
From the moment Tsukishima approached his family, this was a well-prepared scam.
Tsukishima plays the traitor, Ginjo plays the trustworthy leader of the organization, and the other members have become the most authentic proof of this scam after their memories have been modified.
They let themselves lose Soul Reaper powers, and then guide themselves to awaken Fullbring.
Everything I do is just for this moment.
Ichigo looked at Substitute Badge in Ginjo's hand, his eyes gradually becoming cold.
"So, your goal has always been my strength."
"I finally figured it out."
Ginjo grinned.
The Substitute Shinigami Badge in his hand vibrated slightly, and black Reiatsu continued to spill out of the inside of the document.
That's Ichigo just finished Complete Fullbring.
It is also the power that Ginjo has been waiting for a long time.
Ginjo held Ichigo's Substitute Soul Reaper Badge in one hand and a big sword in the other, raising his head and laughing.
Then, he said to Tsukishima, "Thank you, Tsukishima."
