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

Chapter 264 Chapter 263: Lonely Person

Although it sounds a little unbelievable.

But after Arima Shizuka touched her head, the nervousness she had felt about arriving in a strange place disappeared at that moment.

There is an indescribable feeling of dependence that emerges from my heart.

——Is it some strange ability?
do not know.

But I just firmly feel that the other person is someone I can trust, that's all.

A light green light enveloped Inoue Orihime from top to bottom, wrapping her entire body... It was as if she was back in her mother's arms, feeling the warm and kind breath.

The girl slowly closed her eyes and finally fell into a deep sleep.

Seeing the other person's head tilted, Arima Shizuka also withdrew some of the scattered spiritual power. He laid the little girl flat on the tatami and took out the bedding to settle her down.

Although Huidao can easily heal these injuries, it is obviously not the right approach to rely solely on external forces.

Plant a seed and let the skin, flesh and cells heal the wounds themselves.

At the same time, Orihime Inoue can also take a break for a while... This is also one of Arima Shizuya's goals.

After all, it's not good to keep your nerves tense all the time. If you keep doing it indefinitely, both your body and mind... will collapse in the end.

While thinking, Arima Shizuka also turned her head towards the door.

"Ulquiorra."

A figure in a white robe walked forward and half-knelt outside the door.

"I am here, Arima-sama."

Arima Shizuka also sat down near the door with a smile on her face, her smile as peaceful and calm as ever.

"This trip to the human world was tough. It must have been hard to communicate with the other Espada."

"It's just my job, it doesn't matter whether it's hard or not."

"Really? It seems like you still have a lot of room for improvement."

Arima Shizuka also scratched the corner of his mouth with a wry smile, and there was an inexplicable sadness in his sighing tone.

"If you think about it carefully, understanding other people's psychology is also part of the training goal I set for you, right?"

"……Feel sorry."

"Ha, forget about the apology. There's no need to be so polite between you and me~"

after all……

"You were also my first experimental subject. I should be apologizing to you."

I don't really understand what Arima Shizuya meant by what he said.

But Ulquiorra himself doesn't dwell too much on these things.

If he couldn't understand it, he could just ignore it... When the time came, Arima-sama would surely explain everything to him.

"Okay, let's get back to the topic."

His expression became a little more serious.

Arima Shizuya's tone also became slightly serious.

"Ulquiorra, during the operation in the human world, did you feel any obvious discomfort in your body?"

Wu Laosi shook his head quite honestly, his tone calm.

"No, I also tried to enter the state of returning to the blade during that time... Although I was also careful about my state, surprisingly, no accidents happened."

"Although I want to try to enter the next stage, I don't think the situation is that serious..."

"At the same time, I think it is not appropriate to expose your trump card for no reason. Without the certainty of completely annihilating the opponent, I finally chose to retain some of my strength."

Regarding this point alone, Ulquiorra bowed his head deeply towards Arima Shizuya and spoke in an apologetic tone.

"I disappoint you."

Arima Jing also waved her hands repeatedly, with an expression of emotion on her face.

"No, the situation on the battlefield changes rapidly. The mission I gave you is just for reference... It doesn't matter if you don't complete it."

And put it another way.

"Although it hasn't reached the final stage, all other states are quite stable, right?"

Ulquiorra nodded calmly.

After receiving the other party's affirmation, a smile of "as expected" appeared on Arima Shizuya's face.

The unexpected stability, just confirming this information, was enough to make Arima Shizuka feel satisfied at the moment.

Yeah.

That would be great.

Arima Shizuya raised the corner of his mouth slightly, nodded slightly, and then extended his right hand towards the other party.

"Then take it out. Based on the data this time, I also need to debug it."

Ulquiorra raised his right hand in silence.

His index finger groped its way into his empty hole, as if tearing something stuck in his body off abruptly.

There were teeth-aching sounds of flesh being torn apart and bones being dislocated...

Until a small round object was held in his hand.

Ulquiorra held it in front of him respectfully, with drops of black and red blood sticking to it, and lowered his head slightly.

"please……"

It was only about the size of the tip of a thumb, completely black and round, as if it could absorb all the light...

At this moment it presents a dark and deep color.

Its existence itself seemed to echo the environment of Hueco Mundo - both sides had the same sense of loneliness, and there was no vitality at all.

Trial-made broken jade.

This is what Arima Shizuka said after referring to the original body of the prison master.

Modifications were made, experiments were conducted, and finally mass-produced products were produced.

Of course, this name is chosen only to prove the origin of its prototype.

In fact, the small collapsing jade made by Arima Shizuya is far from the expected state.

Unable to achieve a significant breakthrough in spiritual pressure...

Nor can we fill the flaws of the Arrancar immediately after loading...

Even whether it is possible to enter the second stage and unlock a new form of the Arrancar is still unknown.

It is a completely exploratory process from scratch.

There is no doubt that wanting to achieve this goal through one's own strength is as ridiculous as a fairy tale.

However, the direction of the experiment is not unclear.

Because Arima Jing had already clarified his research direction before starting.

Well known.

The so-called void is essentially a corrupted and distorted soul.

Therefore, even if the Arrancar themselves have already possessed inhuman powers and broken free from their shackles... they cannot escape this category.

Even more.

All of the Espada have deepened this trait.

Loneliness, decay, sacrifice, nothingness, etc.

It's like an Arrancar whose soul has had a portion of its emotions dug out, lacking some ability.

From a social perspective, they are all "mentally disabled people" in the formal sense.

No wonder these 'people' behave cruelly and violently.

After all, for these people who are born with defects, what demands can Arima Shizuya, as a normal person, make of them?

At this moment, looking at Ulquiorra in front of him, Arima Shizuka also found the direction of his research.

In the original work.

After a long time with Orihime Inoue and then in the confrontation with Ichigo Kurosaki, Ulquiorra gradually understood what he was thinking.

Second stage return to the blade.

You know, the original book describes that even the prison warden had never seen this state.

According to Wu Laosi's temper, it is unlikely that he would not tell the prison warden about this, so let's understand it from another way...

Perhaps it discovered its own imperfections during the fight with Ichigo Kurosaki.

Achieved a process from nothing to something.

By filling the gap called 'emptiness', that extremely special state was achieved.

But in Arima Shizuya's opinion.

The second stage of returning to the blade is definitely not Wu Laosi's exclusive state.

As long as a way can be found to fill in the gaps, there must be someone among the known Ten Espadas who can achieve it.

Now the question is obvious, how to achieve this goal?

Holding the still warm piece of broken jade in his hand, Arima Shizuya's expression became a little subtle.

——By analyzing the changes and data of Ulquiorra, the specific content was analyzed and dissected, and finally implanted into this small mass-produced Hougyoku.

As Arima Shizuya had previously speculated, this tiny thing could not provide much power.

But it is the Arrancar who can look directly at his own imperfections and thus find the 'opportunity' to fill them.

Of course, the experiment itself will not specialize in this direction.

Arima Shizuka is also looking for a way to make the mass-produced Hogyoku contain power so as to imitate the original prototype and break the taboo between 'Death God and Hollow'.

There are many goals and a long way to go.

Thoughts were surging in his mind, and Arima Shizuya's gaze came back to his senses slightly. He was in a trance for a moment, then chuckled and said.

"Thank you for your hard work. Please wait for a few minutes... I'll be back soon."

Ulquiorra simply backed away in silence, returning to the door.

Arima Shizuya thought for a moment and opened his mouth to speak.

"Ulquiorra, from now on, remember to spend more time with Inoue Orihime... Of course, don't bully others casually."

"..."

An instruction that makes no sense.

However, this is also part of my responsibility.

Just agree to it.

"I know."

The sense of time in Hueco Mundo is very weak.

Because there is no rising sun or setting moon, and the "beasts" living here don't have a deep understanding of these things.

After all, in these days when one's future is uncertain, who would have the leisure time to do something sad and mournful?
"Mr. Arima, can I just leave the things here?"

"Ah... that's fine. Thank you, Inoue."

Inoue Orihime, who had changed into the unique attire of Hueco Mundo, gave a slightly forced smile at this moment.

——Arima Shizuka was also very nice to her.

There was no bullying, but instead, they were extremely polite and respectful to their "prisoner".

It even got to the point where she doubted whether she was just a guest.

Not only does he not have any demands, but he also takes good care of himself... although it may sound unbelievable.

But Orihime Inoue felt that she might have gained a little weight.

Have you come to Hueco Mundo to raise meat?
Yeah! Pretty Girl Crisis!
Although the overly stable life makes people feel a little bit of stability, this place is not their home after all...

"Mr. Arima, when can I go back?"

I finally mustered up the courage to ask this question.

Arima Shizuya just replied with a smile.

"Then you have to ask your prince charming when he will come to pick you up."

What prince charming?!

Is it possible to say such things casually?

"Yes, yes, yes, yes, Mr. Arima! Please don't make such a joke!"

"Haha, such an interesting name, Inoue, are you really calling me that?"

After all, he was once a captain, so it was not difficult for him to deal with a little girl.

Inoue Orihime was so frightened that she screamed and didn't dare to talk to Arima Shizuka for a long time, but in her spare time.

Deep in her heart...the image of a certain young man could not help but emerge.

he.

Will you really come to rescue me?
"..."

Looking at Inoue Orihime's back, Arima Shizuya's eyes also became somewhat emotional.

I'm afraid there isn't much time left.

However, the progress of the experiment has not improved much, which makes people a little worried.

Thoughts floating.

Ulquiorra's voice often came from behind.

"Master Arima, outside..."

He couldn't finish his words because he had to consider that Inoue Orihime was also present at the moment.

Arima Shizuka understood and turned her head, and the spiritual power she emitted was like a tentacle, capturing the surrounding environment in an instant.

What some people considered as "secret actions" was now completely exposed to his sight.

"Do you want to deal with it?"

"Do not……"

Arima Shizuya said thoughtfully.

"That's it, let's see what she's going to do."

……

"Um... Lady Lori, do we really have to... do this?"

"Stop making so much noise! ​​Just do what I say!"

Lori Evann.

After being humiliated in the conference room, this guy did not seem to want to 'disappear' after lying dormant for a while.

Even at this moment, he would rather mobilize his few resources to continue to do something.

She looked viciously at the trembling Arrancar in front of her and spoke in a sharp tone.

"You guys are allowed to enter and exit Arima Shizuya's territory, go and call that woman out!"

“Ah, ah, ah… I, we only granted you permission to move the goods. I feel really sorry for doing something like this, Arima-sama!”

"Then you all go to hell!"

Morality and life were placed on the scales for measurement.

Such unequal conditions soon made the weight of one side become overwhelming.

Several Arrancars entered the barrier tremblingly, and after a moment, Inoue Orihime appeared with a slightly curious expression.

They were really brought out.

"What? Someone injured who needs help? Where?"

Lori Evann walked forward quickly, her face was extremely gloomy and her tone was extremely aggressive.

"it's here!"

Just had time to meet each other's eyes.

It was too late for Inoue Orihime to retreat.

She was grabbed by the shoulders and pressed against the barrier of the barrier like a prisoner.

"You are……"

"Lori Evann!"

Calling her own name directly, she clenched her teeth and tensed her body so that her whole body was shaking uncontrollably.

This hysterical woman asked the question that had been lingering in her mind until now.

"That day... why did you help me that day!"

I don't understand.

The Arrancars follow their strength and instinct, and have no desire to help each other in their hearts.

Even in that situation, Lori Evans was ready to die.

Just like Menori who died in the Sal Apollo laboratory... simply weak, simply incompetent.

So they will be eliminated and swallowed up without leaving any trace.

It's my fault.

If only it could be more powerful.

But... this woman broke her common sense so far.

A life was saved.

But it did not make her feel happy. Instead, she felt an unknown anger rising and burning wildly in her heart.

She desperately wanted to know, to understand.

"What on earth are you thinking!!!"

Inoue Orihime's expression changed from surprise to fear.

Until she turned into silence and thought. Finally, after a while of choking, she

With a slightly reluctant tone, he spoke softly at this moment.

"Because you looked very lonely that day."
