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

Chapter 267: Book of the Quincy: Evidence of the Invisible Empire
"Is this the direction?"

After only figuring out the approximate location, Ishida Uryuu decided to set off.

He was determined to leave, and his close friend Ichigo Kurosaki could clearly feel this intention.

There was no point in saying anything to stop him, and after realizing this, Ichigo completely gave up the idea.

"We...will wait for you to come back."

After hearing what the other party said, a faint smile appeared on Ishida Uryu's lips.

Unconditional trust is the bond between the two.

"Well, I'll fix the problem quickly."

After declining the invitation from Nilu and others to lead the way, Ishida Uryu chose to travel light on his own.

Since the purpose is to deliver something, there is naturally no need to prepare too many things... and based on the relevant information from Ishida Ryugen, Uryu also believes that the other party will not make things difficult for him.

Ishida Uryu controlled the spirit particles and performed the Hi Lian Kick, his figure flashing continuously in the air.

The deeper he went into the Hueco Mundo, the more his brows furrowed.

Because while moving forward, he could also clearly feel... a lot of spiritual pressure was constantly "wandering and looking" at his body in a scanning posture.

"..."

There was no direct conflict, but even so, Ishida Uryuu was already sweating profusely.

The other party is definitely not a mediocre person.

At this moment, after experiencing the invasion of the real world, Ishida Uryu has learned many Quincy skills from his biological father.

Although it is not to the extent of complete transformation, it is already a great improvement.

But even so...

He was also unable to overcome the confidence that exuded malicious aura.

They are all a bunch of monsters.

"You really didn't choose to attack me. It seems that both Ryugen and the Arrancar are right."

Arima Shizuya seemed to be really waiting for his arrival.

After whispering silently in his heart, he no longer cared about these things and focused all his attention on the matters at hand.

Kurosaki and Chad alone are not enough to deal with this kind of enemy... I have to speed up.

Not long after.

As a breath suddenly appeared not far away, Ishida Uryu also stopped at the same time.

Ulquiorra, wearing a white uniform, stood silently in mid-air, staring straight at Ishida Uryuu.

"Arima-sama has been waiting for you for a long time, hurry up."

That's it.

Wu Laosi turned around, activated his spiritual pressure, performed the Xiang Zhuan technique and started on his way.

"..."

The opponent's spiritual pressure should not be underestimated either.

Is it true that an Arrancar of this strength is just a tool for Arima Shizuya to use?

It's hard to imagine the extent to which the man had been touched.

The uneasy mood rolled in his chest and condensed in his throat, making Ishida Uryuu feel as if he had difficulty swallowing.

Speed ​​up.

A square lens comes into view.

Under Ulquiorra's silent guidance, Ishida Uryuu passed through the opened curtain and saw the birdsong and flowers inside.

at the same time.

The figure of Inoue Orihime also came into view.

"Inoue?!"

"Hey? Ishida-kun?"

It would be a lie to say I wasn't surprised - after all, why did they come here? Wasn't it just for her?

Now that the goal is right in front of him, Ishida Uryu must consider whether this is his only chance in his life!

His brain was working rapidly, and Ishida Uryuu subconsciously straightened his glasses and began to quickly analyze the current situation and weigh the pros and cons.

If he takes action directly, what are the chances that he will be able to take Inoue away?

"you……"

The words have not yet fallen.

As the sliding door on the other side was pulled open, Arima Shizuya, who had changed into a loose robe, was speaking to Ishida Uryu with a smile.

"Oh~ You're finally here, Uryuu. I've been waiting for you for a long time."

——The probability is infinitely close to 0.

Ishida Uryuu didn't think he could defeat the opponent, especially when there was a powerful Arrancar next to him...

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Ishida Uryu walked forward slowly with a wooden expression.

"I'm not that familiar with you. I came here just to complete the commission and deliver the things to you..."

Reaching into his arms, he fumbled out a bag and threw it in the direction of Arima Shizuya.

The action was simple and sharp, and the tone was far from friendly.

However, Arima Shizuka didn't seem to care much about these "details".

"Very cold... But, it's within expectations."

After all, the impression given before really made it difficult for people to have a good impression of him, and Ishida Uryuu's vigilance and caution were completely expected at this time.

"By the way, did Ishida-kun take a look at what was inside beforehand?"

"I'm not the type to break promises."

"I see. That means you don't know much about what happened."

"I wasn't interested in it anyway... Now that the stuff has been delivered, I'll leave first."

In this situation, it is impossible to take Inoue Orihime with him. In order to ensure that their group achieves their goal, the most appropriate solution is to contact Kurosaki Ichigo.

Gather all your strength together and fight to the death!
"Are you leaving now? It's a little early... Ishida-kun, are you interested in learning more about what's going on here?"

Forcing others to do things they don't want to do is not Arima Jingye's style.

just.

If the matter is of some importance... that's another matter.

Ishida Uryu's brows frowned unconsciously, he subconsciously took half a step back, and his tone became cautious.

He could not rule out the possibility that the other party might suddenly turn against him, so he had to be extremely careful.

"I'm not interested at all."

The atmosphere was indescribably solemn - even the somewhat naive Inoue Orihime sensed this subtlety and tried to adjust.

“Ishida-kun! Um, Mr. Arima should have no ill intentions…”

People who are not good at talking are naturally not good at persuasion, and it is obvious that these words cannot impress Ishida Uryu.

Fortunately, Ma Jing had made relevant preparations in advance.

He calmly unbuttoned the pocket in front of him and spoke in a calm tone.

"Really? Then if... this thing is related to your grandfather's past experience, would you be interested?"

"...?!!!"

Ishida family lineage.

As a branch of the pure-blooded Quincy.

Although its history is long, the people who can inherit its bloodline and skills have always been a single-line inheritance from beginning to end.

However, Ishida Ryugen, the successor, does not seem to be interested in this...

At the same time, it is also because of some unknown family affairs.

The rift between Yu Long and his father has been widening, to the point where now both sides feel like they are strangers to each other.

Because of the relationship at this level.

As a grandfather, Ishida Sogen took over the responsibility of education and was responsible for guiding Ishida Uryuu to become a qualified Quincy.

The affection between the grandfather and grandson is self-evident. After hearing what Arima Shizuya said, a blue wave of air appeared on Ishida Uryu's body.

The irrepressible emotions formed a torrent of spiritual power visible to the naked eye.

"What did you say?!"

"It's just a literal statement. I don't need to emphasize it a second time, right?"

Arima Shizuya's movements paused at the last moment, as if all the secrets would be solved by just turning over the corner of the cloth.

"This is your last chance, Ishida-kun."

"Want to know the Quincy secrets that your grandfather couldn't tell you and your father didn't want to reveal?"

"Of course, you can also leave now... As promised, I won't make things difficult for you."

The balance of power lies in the hands of Ishida Uryu.

Left and right.

Danger and curiosity.

Should you satisfy your own heart, or choose to avoid this 'trap' that is visible to the naked eye?
In just a moment, Uryu Ishida had found his answer.

He took a deep breath.

At this moment, he chose to walk forward slowly until he stood in front of Arima Shizuya.

"Please... let me see it too."

An unexpected smile appeared on Arima Shizuya's face, as if he had known the answer from the beginning.

"as you wish."

He loosened his right hand.

The falling piece of cloth completely revealed all the hidden objects.

But what caught Ishida Uryu's eyes at this moment was not something valuable.

That is……

Two things that seem to have some unclear meaning.

Placed on the left is a book that looks quite old.

Perhaps because it had been read so many times, Ishida Uryu could see the slightly curled footers and the wrinkled and yellowed papers inside.

No cover or title.

Perhaps it is a collection of some kind of notes?
There is too little information to conduct further analysis.

Ishida Uryu turned his attention to another hidden object.

It was a strange object that looked quite exquisite.

It has a silvery-white glow all over, and is round and flat.

It's like a collectible that was used as currency in some unknown era.

When Ishida Uryu saw the various contours that were protruding and concave, his thoughts couldn't help but spread out.

A book, a coin.

These two things...

What connection does it have with his own life experience and his grandfather Sogen Ishida?

At this moment, Arima Jing was also staring at the two things in front of him, with an indescribable subtle expression on his face.

After a moment, he chuckled as if he had let go of something.

"Huh... so that's your answer?"

Ishida Uryu looked at him in confusion.

"what are you saying?"

"Nothing. I made a deal with Ishida Ryugen. I hoped to get three things from your father, but now it seems... I can only get two."

However, it is enough.

Inoue Orihime, who was not far behind, noticed the subtle atmosphere. She smiled awkwardly and tried to ask.

"Would it be appropriate for me to...leave for a while?"

I always feel that the current heavy atmosphere is not suitable for someone like her to be present?
Arima Shizuka waved her hand casually and spoke in a light tone.

"It's not such a serious matter. If Inoue-san is interested, it's okay to sit in on it."

After all, it is information that will be made public sooner or later.

But now that the topic has been brought up.

Arima Shizuya actually remembered another 'person' and said with a smile at this moment.

"Captain Nie, you should be here too, right? Since you've heard this, why don't you come out and have a chat?"

"...?"

Ishida Uryuu didn't quite understand the meaning of Arima Shizuya's sudden action.

And in the next moment, a sound that made his hair stand on end came from him!

"Wow, you can actually detect this much? Arima Shizuya~ I really underestimated you."

It was Kurotsuchi Mayuri’s voice.

But why did it come from my body? !

A chill pierced his bones, and Ishida Uryu couldn't help but shiver violently.

He saw something light and thin falling from his body, and in a moment, a simple, miniature figure of Kurotsuchi Mayuri stood on the ground.

He was only half a meter tall, but his demeanor and expression were as real and disgusting as a real person...

"Arima Shizuya, I'm very interested in the secrets you're telling me. Come on! Let's get to the point."

Ishida Uryuu started jumping up and down anxiously.

"Wait! How did you get out here!?"

"What a noisy fellow! You are a descendant of a Quincy but you are so impatient. Your ancestors are crying."

Pretending to pick his ears, the mini Captain Nie said disdainfully.

"It's just that when I was helping to treat you, I implanted some bacteria in your body for detection. Don't worry, there are no side effects. It can even help regulate your body and make your physical condition a little better."

anyway.

"Your lifestyle is very unhealthy. If you continue like this, you will be at risk of developing chronic diseases before you are thirty."

"Get out of my body now, right now, immediately!!!"

The noisy episode didn't last long. Although they were unwilling/indifferent, the two finally accepted the current situation and turned their attention back to Arima Shizuya.

That’s all the chit-chat, let’s get down to business.

Arima Shizuka also waved behind her, allowing the still somewhat nervous Inoue Orihime to come closer.

"If I were to describe it from the beginning, it would be a very long story."

"So before we begin..."

"Let me first briefly explain the meaning of these two things and their origins."

He pointed to the collection of books on the left side.

"This is Ishida Sogen's diary, recording what he has seen and heard. And in it... a guy known as the founder of the Quincy is among them."

"Its name is..."

"The Book of the Quincy."

With her fingertips moving, Arima Shizuka also pointed to the coin on the other side.

"And this thing is a symbol that Ishida Sogen was once active and active in some unknown place."

"Its name is..."

"Evidence of the Invisible Empire."

So, let's get started.

The man who attempted to destroy the world a thousand years ago and made a comeback a thousand years later.

His story... slowly emerged at this moment along with Arima Shizuya's narration.
