Reborn with Steve Stand

Chapter 186: Steve

The black fog and the sensation of weightlessness disappeared at the same time, and Fang Mo opened his eyes.

What he saw was a somewhat dilapidated rural street.

The road felt extremely terrible; forget asphalt or concrete, there weren't even cobblestones. It was entirely formed from pure yellow mud and was uneven and potholed.

On both sides of the road were some low, run-down buildings.

It's worth mentioning that these buildings also looked quite old-fashioned. The better ones were Japanese-style classical wooden houses, but the worse ones were simply made of straw and mud.

However, something was strange.

The surrounding buildings were clearly very dilapidated.

But if you looked straight ahead down the road, you could see many beautiful white buildings.

These buildings mainly followed a Japanese aesthetic, and just by looking, they appeared very clean and majestic, in stark contrast to the messy street here.

"Hmm..."

After observing his surroundings, Fang Mo quickly determined his location: "Rukongai Street?"

Once he realized he had crossed into the world of "Bleach," this place was easy to identify.

In the world view of "Bleach," there are three worlds: the human world, the Hollow world, and the Soul Society.

The 'human world' is easy to understand.

It's similar to Marvel's Midgard setting.

When humans from the living world die, most of their souls go to the Soul Society. Most of them are untalented, ordinary souls, so they generally reside on Rukongai Street. The conditions on Rukongai Street are actually quite poor. While some areas are more affluent, the vast majority are no different from slums.

The place where the Shinigamis live is in the center of the Soul Society, known as the Seireitei.

Only those souls with talent are absorbed by Seireitei and transformed from ordinary souls into Shinigamis.

The environment in Seireitei is naturally different from Rukongai Street, it's more like a luxury villa area. The gap between the rich and poor is like that between a tycoon and a beggar.

Merely appearing on Rukongai Street wasn't enough for Fang Mo to determine anything.

After all, there had been precedents before. When he was in the X-Men world, Fang Mo even crossed over to 18 years before the background story of World War I, when Sebastian was still mixing with the army.

The timeline in the world of "Bleach" is even longer, even including arcs like the 'Thousand-Year Blood War.'

That would be terrifying.

Would you be scared if you were thrown back more than a thousand years?

But just as Fang Mo was thinking, he suddenly felt as if he was being watched by someone.

Turning his head, Fang Mo discovered that there were people in the surrounding houses observing him, and it wasn't just one person. However, these people seemed to be afraid of him, hiding in door cracks, corners, or next to windows, watching him quietly. At the same time, their gazes didn't seem malicious.

Fang Mo thought for a moment and decided to pull someone out to ask about the situation.

"Um"

However, what Fang Mo didn't expect was that as soon as he raised his hand, these people immediately panicked.

Like frightened rabbits, everyone began to avoid him. The windows and doors were immediately closed, and those hiding in the corners quickly retracted their heads.

""

Fang Mo's raised hand hung in mid-air, frozen in place.

Although he was a bit speechless, Fang Mo quickly figured out their mindset after some thought.

Yes, the power structure here was actually similar to the feudal times, with the souls living on this street being commoners, and the Shinigami being the warrior class, the two having vastly different statuses.

Just by looking at Fang Mo, he didn't appear to be an ordinary person, so these ordinary souls were all adopting a "better safe than sorry" attitude to avoid getting into trouble.

Since they were avoiding him, Fang Mo also didn't want to bother with these commoners.

He looked up at the end of the street and walked directly towards the location of Seireitei.

The Soul Society was indeed quite large. At first glance, Seireitei didn't seem to be far away, but actually walking there took at least half an hour.

However, since Fang Mo was new here, he wasn't in a rush.

He took it as enjoying the scenery along the way.

As he got closer to Seireitei, the buildings on both sides of the road gradually became more prosperous. The houses made of yellow mud and thatch became fewer and fewer, until they were completely gone.

Before long, Fang Mo arrived in front of Seireitei.

However, before he could walk over, there was a sudden loud noise behind him, as if something had crashed into the ground.

Turning his head, he saw an orange-haired hedgehog head rushing straight towards him.

His target was not Fang Mo, but Seireitei not far away.

However, before he could enter Seireitei, a row of giant stone walls suddenly fell from the sky, one after another crashing into the ground, stirring up a huge cloud of dust. Then, a giant suddenly burst out from the dust, blocking this orange-haired hedgehog head.

"Ah, this"

Seeing this scene, Fang Mo was first stunned and then started laughing.

He was originally worried that he might have time-traveled to a thousand years ago, but now the main character appeared right in his face, which put his mind at ease.

Yes, the orange-haired hedgehog head in front of him was the protagonist of Bleach, Ichigo Kurosaki.

The current situation was roughly that Ichigo Kurosaki, who simultaneously had the bloodlines of a Shinigami, Hollow, and Quincy, mistakenly thought he was a human. He rushed into the Soul Society to save his friend Rukia Kuchiki. The loud noise that Fang Mo had heard was actually the sound of their arrival in the Soul Society.

However, this guy was a bit naive.

Before even entering Seireitei, he was stopped by the gatekeeper.

Thinking about this, Fang Mo looked back and indeed saw Orihime Inoue with orange hair, the muscular man Chad, the Quincy Uryu Ishida in white clothes, and a female black cat.

As Fang Mo was observing them, Ichigo Kurosaki also made his move.

The gatekeeper said that his job was to guard the gate and wouldn't let him in. He attacked Ichigo Kurosaki with an axe, but he was very weak and his attacks were easily blocked by Ichigo.

In contrast, Ichigo swung his sword and directly shattered the opponent's axe.

However, the funny thing was that this guy broke down and started crying when he saw his axe shattered, throwing the entire squad into disarray.

Ichigo Kurosaki was, of course, also helpless, and subconsciously apologized to him.

Unexpectedly, this moved the guy, who agreed to open the gate for him. Then, he used all his strength to lift the giant stone gate, allowing the group to quickly pass through.

""

To be honest, this scene completely stunned Fang Mo.

Because you admire others, you voluntarily open the door to let others in freely... Is this how you protect the owners' security? Have you ever considered the collective will of the owners?

However, Ichigo Kurosaki is not an owner of the Soul Society, so he doesn't care about all of that.

Seeing the door open, he immediately ran inside with excitement, but the next second he suddenly froze because the owner... no, a previously unseen Shinigami was blocking his way.

This Shinigami looked quite friendly, with silvery, shattered hair and a smiling face, and a fine short knife hung around his waist. However, as soon as he spoke, everyone in Jidanbo was scared to the point of being as pale as death, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

"You... guard the gate like this?"

With those words, a flash of silver light suddenly passed by, and Jidanbo's enormous left arm was instantly severed.

Blood spurted out like a fountain, and Jidanbo's knees weakened, making him kneel on the ground. The massive stone gate slammed down on the back of his neck, but he still clenched his teeth and held on without falling completely.

Just then, the silver-haired Shinigami spoke again.

"The existence of a gatekeeper is not for opening doors for others." As he walked towards Jidanbo, although smiling, a terrifying murderous aura was continuously leaking out of him: "A defeated gatekeeper has no reason to exist, so it's better to kill him..."

However, Ichigo Kurosaki doesn't care about all that.

Being the protagonist of a shonen series, seeing this scene made his blood boil, even curing his low blood pressure as he instantly unsheathed Zangetsu and charged forward.

The silver-haired Shinigami drew his short knife and easily blocked Ichigo Kurosaki's attack.

Yet, until then, Ichigo Kurosaki still hadn't realized anything, and even pointed Zangetsu at the Shinigami, saying, "You! How could you attack an unarmed guy... He is the one guarding the gate for you, and you treat him like this?"

"Hehehe..."

The silver-haired Shinigami chuckled, completely ignoring him, and simply turned and walked away.

"Huh?"

Ichigo Kurosaki was also momentarily stunned.

However, the next second, the Shinigami suddenly turned back around, his short knife aimed directly at Ichigo Kurosaki, transforming into a silver streak.

"!"

Ichigo Kurosaki instinctively blocked with Zangetsu, but a tremendous force hit him, sending him flying back and colliding with Jidanbo. Subsequently, both of them were violently thrown out of the Soul Society.

Since Jidanbo was flung away, the giant stone gate also slowly closed.

"Bye-bye~"

The Shinigami on the other side even specifically bent down, squinting his eyes and waving goodbye to them.

"You bastard!"

Ichigo Kurosaki angrily got up, but then suddenly froze because he noticed that next to that gigantic stone gate, a two-meter-high rectangular small door had somehow appeared.

An unfamiliar guy glanced at them and then walked in.
