Kirito looked at the mysterious man's face and thought of his mother's smile a long time ago. Kirito shook his head hard to shake this ridiculous thought out of his head.
Kirito endured the pain and listened to the mysterious man. The mysterious man seemed to be immersed in his own world and did not notice Kirito's abnormality at all. The mysterious man spoke slowly.
"Kirito, you have to know that the Death God is not the only one who can destroy Voids in this world. There is also a kind of person called Quincy. However, Quincy should have disappeared for a long time now. If there are any, they should have hidden themselves."
Kirito was shocked when he heard the mysterious man's words. He suddenly thought of Nichang. He did not know if she had found her mother and sister.
Kirito asked with some doubts, "Why are there not many Quincy left now?"
The mysterious man looked at Kirito with a complicated expression and said solemnly, "In this world, life and death are opposite. The Death God is in charge of the important task of controlling the balance between Soul Society and Hueco Mundo. Therefore, the balance has been maintained until the appearance of Quincy. Most of them awaken their spiritual power because of Voids' attacks, so they usually see their loved ones being killed at the moment. Therefore, they hate Voids and cannot forgive them."
Kirito was shocked. He did not expect the Death God and Quincy to be so different. Kirito continued to look at the mysterious man and listen to him. "However, Quincy is destined to be unable to destroy Voids together with the Death God because Quincy destroys the balance. Whether it is Voids or souls, their total number is fixed, but Quincy destroys Voids in a true sense. If this continues, souls will become fewer and fewer until there are no more souls."
Kirito suddenly stood up, as if he did not believe the mysterious man's words. The mysterious man continued, "In addition, Quincy cannot stop killing Voids because of hatred. Therefore, no matter how Death God and Quincy communicated, they could not come to a good end. In the end, Quincy were all killed by the Death God. Even if there were some left, they could not cause any big waves."
Kirito widened his eyes and saw the pain and sadness in the mysterious man's eyes. He said, "Are you Quincy?
Are you trying to take revenge on Death? "
The mysterious man nodded and then shook his head. He slowly said: "You're only half right. Even though I'm Quincy, I don't have any thoughts of revenge."
The mysterious man's words surprised Kirito. Kirito asked in surprise, "Did you and your family escape in advance to avoid the disaster?"
The mysterious man revealed a blissful smile. It was the first time Kirito had seen him smile like this. The mysterious man said, "No, it's because I fell in love with a Grim Reaper."
Kirito didn't know what to say all of a sudden. He could only look at the mysterious man with a complicated expression. At this time, the mysterious man stood up and looked at Kirito, saying, "The following days, I was very happy, even the happiest days of my life."
Hearing what he said, Kirito felt sad and lost. Kirito didn't know what was wrong with him. Kirito always felt that there seemed to be some connection between him and the mysterious man. Kirito's heart kept pounding.
At this time, the mysterious man slowly took off his white mask and black hat. He looked at Kirito nervously and said slowly, "I'm sorry, son. Forgive me for not recognizing you earlier. Forgive me, okay?"
When Kirito saw his appearance, his inner world suddenly collapsed. Kirito looked at the mysterious man in disbelief. No, it should be his mother. Her appearance hadn't changed at all. She was still as gentle and dazzling as in his memory.
Kirito suddenly remembered what had happened in his inner world before. Tears flowed out of his eyes. However, Kirito restrained himself and didn't let himself cry out. He choked and said, "Mom, how could you bear not to see me for so long?"
When Kirito's mother heard Kirito's words, she also burst into tears. She cried and said, "Kirito, I have my difficulties. Don't blame me, okay?"
Kirito didn't say a word. He just looked at his mother in a daze. Suddenly, she held him in her arms. The mother and son hugged each other and cried. Kirito seemed to want to cry all the grievances and pain he had suffered over the years. Tears kept flowing out of his eyes.
After a long time, the two stopped crying. They looked into each other's eyes and slowly began to talk about their experiences over the years. Kirito kept talking about his mother's absence. Kirito's mother also held Kirito's hand affectionately and listened to Kirito's story without the slightest impatience.
In fact, what Kirito didn't know was that she had been by Kirito's side all these years. However, she could feel Kirito's feelings even though she didn't appear in the Middle East. After all, her spiritual power was limited.
She was only able to stay now because her husband kept looking for ways to treat her after her death. He even went to the Soul Society to search for her soul. Now, she was able to fulfill her wish of watching Kirito grow up and know how Kirito was doing and what kind of person he had become.
Kirito's mother waited for Kirito to finish talking before she slowly said, "Kirito, you've grown up. Back then, I was killed by Void. It wasn't your fault, so you don't have to blame yourself. In the future, mother won't be by your side and can't protect you. You must take care of yourself."
Kirito was startled. He suddenly remembered that his mother said that she was going to leave. He said anxiously, "Where are you going?
Is there no other way for you to stay? "
Kirito's mother shook her head and smiled calmly. "Silly child, I'm already dead. The dead can't come back to life. It's already a blessing that I can see you grow up safely. Why are you so obsessed with my life and death?"
Kirito still couldn't let it go. He held his mother's hand tightly and said resentfully, "I was too young and couldn't protect you. Instead, I became your burden. Now that I have the ability, tell me, who killed you?
Was it Aizen or Void? "
Kirito's mother shook her head and said earnestly to Kirito, "Child, my life and death are no longer important. What's important is that I feel that a dark power is rising. It's a power more powerful than Aizen. It even has the smell of destroying Quincy."
Kirito was shocked and repeated in a low voice, "Dark power, the feeling of destroying Quincy?
Could it be that Aizen hasn't given up? "
Kirito's mother shook her head and said solemnly, "I don't know where this power comes from. I hope you can figure it out. Also, I'm already a soul now. It's still that thing that's about to disappear."
