Bleach: The Captain of the Fifth Division Becomes Stronger Through Training.

Chapter 149 148: A Critical Moment

"Although I think this is inappropriate at this time, it actually makes me curious no matter how I think about it."

Wuling Tiezhai tugged at the black cloak-like clothing on his body and spoke in a rather puzzled tone.

"How on earth can one hide his spiritual pressure to such an extent?"

We did not forget to discuss while on the road.

Although this curiosity is commendable, saying these words now makes people feel somewhat unhappy.

In other words, if one is not really curious enough to offend others, one would not choose to speak at this time.

And through this curiosity.

At this moment, Arima Shizuka also tugged at his cloak and asked.

"Although I know it's rude to do so, I would like to ask for the truth if possible."

After all, this is an invention that even the prison warden praised.

It was even with the help of this thing that he was able to find an opportunity to hurt Shiba Isshin, which led to various subsequent events.

So if we extrapolate deeper, this cloak may even be a contributing factor to the birth of Strawberry Brother.

This thing is really of extraordinary significance...

After a simple sigh, Arima Shizuya's gaze also fell on it.

Translucent material, like a rain cape made of plastic.

Wearing it on the body gives a feeling of being airtight, and at the same time, there is a subtle, yet somewhat unpleasant smell.

Although I had similar guesses before, it was still surprising when I actually encountered the real thing.

Arima Jing also spoke carefully at this moment.

"Although I may be overestimating my own abilities, I have actually studied these things before."

"But in the end, I still can't find the right method... After all, everything that exists in Soul Society is constructed from spirit particles."

"Trying to use these things to weave something that can conceal spiritual pressure is like trying to cover tea with salt water."

Although the two sides have completely different uses, they will blend into each other after contact.

This is what Arima Shizuya wanted to express at this moment.

Therefore.

"If it's just because the material is so fine, it shouldn't be possible to achieve this level."

Wuling Tesai, who was standing next to him, seemed quite surprised by Arima Shizuya's judgment. He turned his head halfway and was looking up and down at the young man next to him.

"Amazing! Very organized insights... Young man, I didn't realize you have such talent in this area."

After all, Wuling Tessai had only known Arima Shizuka for a short time, so his impression of him was limited to the fact that he was able to sit in on the captain's meetings.

——At best, he should be just a vice-captain.

In response to the other party's praise, Arima Jing also smiled twice and spoke in a flat tone.

"It's just some trivia that you don't use in your daily life. It's not worth mentioning."

Closer to home.

What on earth is this cloak that can conceal spiritual pressure?

After all, even with Arima Shizuka's current knowledge, he couldn't see the 'true appearance' of this thing.

"..."

Urahara Kisuke was silent for a moment, then he sighed faintly.

he said helplessly.

"It's not really that important. As Arima-kun said, the point is not the workmanship, but..."

After a pause, Urahara Kisuke spoke slowly.

"Material."

Material?

Chewing on these two short words carefully, Arima Shizuya's pupils expanded and contracted, and he instantly associated with a lot of related information.

It was at this moment that a seemingly impossible option came to mind.

what……

A sigh that sounded almost like self-mockery came out of her mouth, but Arima Shizuka couldn't help but reveal a subtle expression.

It can't really be that?

"I used Xu's corpse here."

The brief silence means two completely different attitudes.

Cold sweat suddenly broke out on Wuling Tiezhai's forehead, and he let out a low hum that sounded like doubt.

"……Why?"

and many more.

Let's sort out the existing information.

Wu Ling Tie Zhai pushed up his glasses which were slightly sliding down due to sweat.

His tone was extremely serious.

"Captain Urahara, are you saying that... you have mixed the remains of the evil souls called Hollows into this cloak that can conceal spiritual pressure?"

The wording is very rigorous, and it also represents the other party's very nervous mental state.

Compared to this nervousness, Urahara Kisuke simply nodded calmly and spoke softly.

"Let me correct you. More than 90% of the contents of this cloak are made up of Hollow's body."

"?!!"

Wu Ling Tie Zhai's expression twitched obviously.

It is not difficult to see that for the older residents of Soul Society, things like Hollows... their very existence is closely linked to the word "disgust".

However, this emotion did not extend to Arima Shizuya.

"I see."

An emotional tone.

The emotions revealed in it at this moment have a subtle sense of upliftment.

"Although I had guessed it before, I didn't expect that Captain Urahara has already realized it completely..."

virtual.

According to the textbooks compiled by Soul Society, its essence is a soul in an evil state.

Most of them are completely devoid of intelligence, and many of them appear in twisted and strange forms.

The most obvious sign is a huge hole printed in the middle of the chest... Its existence means the absence of soul and also symbolizes its greedy nature.

The void cannot be communicated.

The void cannot communicate.

The very existence of emptiness needs to be hated.

Drive them out, kill them, until they completely disappear... This is a necessary condition for maintaining peace, and it is also one of the jobs of the God of Death.

Various information about virtual correlation kept flashing in my mind and took shape rapidly at this moment.

This is established knowledge and is the intelligence that most spirits can obtain today.

This must be the case with Wuling Tiezhai.

but.

Is that correct?
There was a gleam of intelligence in Arima Shizuya's eyes.

A negative ruling was given at this time.

"The existence of the void itself is difficult to perceive."

"Although this feature is not universal, the vast majority of evil souls have this ability..."

"I guess Captain Urahara must have considered this, so he tried to use it as material, right?"

The person in question glanced behind him without commenting, and a subtle smile appeared on his face.

"Arima-kun, you know a lot."

Although I don't want to talk too much at this time, the feeling of finding a soulmate is really unbearable.

After all, Wuling Tessai, who was sweating profusely at this moment, was the majority of people in Soul Society - it was difficult for people to be interested in things beyond their own understanding.

Based on this premise, the researcher’s journey is destined to be a lonely one.

Well, let me ask you this question.

"Why do you think Xu has this strange ability?"

The intensity has increased a bit, and there is also a clear sense of "trap" at this time.

Fortunately, it was not a problem for Arima Shizuka.

"Rather than asking why the Hollow possesses it, it's more like... the difference between souls."

A very simple example.

"Even the weakest Hollow can, by chance, open the boundary between Soul Society and Hueco Mundo."

"On top of that, the Great Hollow can even use the anti-membrane to save its own kind and return them safely to the Hueco Mundo."

"Even among the Hollows, there are actions similar to our Shinigami Instant Step techniques... Of course, it's called Hibiki Ten."

"Of course, there are essential differences between the two. The former is to squeeze the body to carry out rapid movement. In comparison, the latter is more like a jump in space." This is not groundless talk.

Because in the Thousand Year Bloody War chapter in the original work, Strawberry Bro broke through the prison to rescue Soul Society, and when he appeared, his spiritual pressure was sensed by the vast majority of Quincies.

But after he started to act, he sighed that his spiritual pressure had disappeared.

This is enough to illustrate that the two seemingly identical techniques actually have extremely essential differences.

"From these characteristics, it is not difficult to see that Xu is born with the power to influence space."

This is a feature.

This is also one of the ways that Arima Jing lays the groundwork for the following argument.

"Because of the difference between the Hollows and our spirit bodies, there is no need to consider too much... because they have the ability to conceal aura and distort space."

As for how to use it reasonably.

At this moment, Urahara Kisuke has also given his answer.

Urahara Kisuke raised the corners of his mouth silently. His expression had been tense all the time, but at this moment he finally showed a faint smile.

Although I am a little curious about why he knows so much, I think about his internship experience in the Eighth Division and his relationship with Kyoraku Shunsui.

He was relieved.

"It's really touching, Arima-kun... I should have tried harder in the beginning."

To be honest, Urahara Kisuke did have a flash of regret at this moment.

After all, there are talents like this.

If he could do research with me in the 12th Division, there wouldn't be so many troubles right now.

In response to Urahara Kisuke's sigh, Arima Shizuka simply chuckled and evaded the question.

Now that things have come to this, let’s get on with our journey.

However, this short content, which seemed like an interlude, also made Arima Shizuka recall some memories at this moment.

'No wonder Urahara Kisuke's research is so much faster than Master Roku's.'

"It seems that he has already been ahead of everyone in understanding the specific content of the Hollow."

"After all, not only the Broken Jade, but also these derivatives have been developed and used in daily life..."

With such enthusiasm, it's no wonder that Master Lao thinks so highly of Boss Urahara.

All I can say is that there is indeed a clear difference between reality and comics.

In the original book, it seems to be just a simple reminder, but in the real world, we can find some clues from it...

Thereby completely connecting the front and rear endpoints together.

I was filled with emotion in my heart, and the scenes in front of me were intertwined, but with the shout of "There is movement ahead" from Wuling Tiezhai, everything came to an end at this moment.

……

"Ah, I know. I've known it for a long time."

Cold sweat mixed with blood flowed down his shoulder from the wound caused by Hiyori's cut.

"You are a person who looks righteous on the surface, but is actually a dirty and despicable person deep down inside."

pain.

Although it was very painful, the flow of spiritual energy could still be maintained.

Adjust your breathing and allow yourself to stand up slowly.

"The reason why I promoted you to deputy captain and kept you by my side was so that I could see the true face of you, a villain."

Mako Hirako's body couldn't stop shaking, but her face still maintained that sarcastic look of a half-smile.

"Now, you finally can't hold it in anymore?"

It’s really a headache. I wish this could have happened half a year earlier.

Am I right.

"Aizen Sosuke!!!"

Facing the roar and this almost hysterical attitude.

Aizen, wearing a death suit, pursed his lips slightly, revealing a subtle and reserved smile.

"Don't scold so loudly, Captain Hirako. You just saw the wrong side and didn't find all the truth."

"Humans are such sad creatures."

"If it is just pure stupidity, I can still use ignorance to paralyze myself."

Aizen Sosuke walked slowly forward with Ichimaru Gin beside him.

As if walking in the morning bushes, he nimbly avoided the dew and morning mist, and held the sword at his waist at an angle.

"But the same cannot be said for the smart-alecky ones."

"With only a little knowledge, one can conceive that he knows everything and has seen through all the falsehoods."

"How sad it is! If no one exposes it, it would be a kind of happiness."

But at this moment, it is really regrettable.

"After all, people like you, Captain Hirako, who think you are smart, are the type that are most easily deceived."

Aizen raised his right hand in front of him, with his index finger raised high, and placed it against his lips.

He made a gesture as if to shut up.

"Treachery that can be seen with the naked eye can be known, but what is truly terrifying is the betrayal that is invisible."

"If there is an afterlife, I hope you can be born mediocre and not be such a half-baked person."

"What do you think, Captain Hirako?"

The anger was gushing out and I couldn't help but express it!
"you……!!!"

But the roar that was stuck in his throat could not be fully uttered.

The milky white thick substance was swallowed and spit out in an instant, completely covering half of Hirako Mako's face.

"Gu..."

With a faint humming sound, the remaining half of Hirako Mako's face was in a trance for a moment.

It feels like my body no longer belongs to me...

He could see the traitor from the 9th Division charging at him, and he wanted to defend himself, but his body seemed to have its own willpower and fought back even more fiercely at this moment.

What? It felt like there was another unknown entity that was trying to seize control of his body.

Don't get in the way, don't mess up...

Quick, go back...

Looking at Mako Hirako not far away, his expression was dazed.

Aizen stretched out his hand and pushed away Tosen Kaname, who was still trying to continue fighting.

"That's it. I didn't expect this man to be able to hold on to this extent... Compared to the other mediocre people lying on the ground, it's really impressive."

"Although the experimental materials are also important, since there are already so many examples, even if one or two are missing, it will not have any impact on the experiment."

hiss……

Obtain the Zanpakutō.

The crescent moon is like a hook, reflecting his body.

Aizen Sosuke raised the weapon in his hand and finally showed an emotional expression.

"Finally, I have one word for you."

"In fact, I have hated you for a long time, Captain Hirako."

"If I were to describe it in detail... yes, it was probably after I returned from my post at the academy."

Have to admit.

You have brought many sorrows.

But thanks to this, I learned, I grew... and then transformed into a brand new me.

"Grateful."

"Goodbye, then."

"Captain Hirako."

call……

The blade broke through the air and was about to chop Hirako Makoto in the face.

Aizen Sosuke raised his eyebrows slightly and made a gesture to step back at this moment.

At the same time, a figure came across and chopped directly on Aizen's horizontal blade.

bump!
Sparks are flying and powerful.

Aizen took two steps back and returned to the front of Ichimaru Gin and Tosen Kaname.

The unidentified person took two steps sideways and retreated to the side of Hirako Mako, supporting her so that she would not fall to the ground.

"Ah, I have to say it...it was really a close call."

As he sighed, the visitor took off his hood and smiled brightly.

Arima Shizuka also said with a smile.

"It seems I came at the right time?"
