Death: Then stood in the sky.

Masaki Kurosaki's surprised gaze fell on the black cat again, her face filled with shock: "Why can it talk? Is it some kind of monster?"

Upon hearing this, Yoruichi Shifūin frowned in displeasure: "Don't be so rude, human."

Masaki Kurosaki exclaimed, "So cute!"

Yoruichi Shifūin narrowed her eyes and smiled slightly. Who doesn't like compliments?

The cat is happy.

Its tail also began to sway slightly involuntarily.

Then, Masaki Kurosaki pointed with her little finger: "So, she really can do a backflip?"

Yoruichi Shifūin: "???"

Chapter 71 Gin Ichimaru's Attention

Seeing the displeased look on Yoruichi Shifuin's outstretched claw, Masaki Kurosaki gave in.

Although she really wanted to see the cat do a backflip.

But she was also afraid that the other party would leave a few more wounds on her.

If she tore her clothes, that would be even worse, making her look too embarrassed in front of Seiji. Kurosaki Masaki still wanted to be seen as an energetic girl in his eyes.

"This is probably targeting us; he has already begun his actions."

Seeing that Kurosaki Masaki had stopped moving around, Shifuin Yoruichi jumped onto Seiji's shoulder and suddenly said.

"Huh?"

"What is being targeted? Who initiated the operation?"

Masaki Kurosaki blinked curiously.

“Your location hasn’t been exposed yet, so we can only try to force you out by sweeping the floor like this.”

Aoshi explained, then put away the transformation bracelet, planning to give it to Nel when they got back.

"That guy Kisuke also made the same judgment." Shifengyuan nodded, his golden pupils full of solemnity, "But if we don't solve it quickly, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble."

According to Kisuke Urahara's assessment, the Hollow released by Aizen should be in a completely irrational state, feeding only on instinct.

Given time, perhaps they really can find their location.

"Captain Isshin will take care of that." Aoji smiled and replied, knowing he wasn't planning to intervene and would just wait for Isshin to finish off Hollow.

Then, I'll go clean up the mess and collect the legacy left by Xu Bai.

Is it Shiba Isshin?

Yoruichi Shifūin nodded upon hearing this.

Although she wasn't very familiar with the head of the Shiba family's branch family, he was said to be quite powerful and very strong.

"What are you talking about?"

"Can anyone please help me? Please, please."

Kurosaki Masaki looked pitiful, completely unable to understand their conversation.

Yoruichi Shifūin glanced at her. "That's enough for today. I'll come back to see you again. Remember to leave the door open for me."

Masaki Kurosaki: "???"

Why do I feel this sense of déjà vu right now?

She wanted to say something, but found that from her perspective, it seemed inappropriate to say anything.

So, they could only watch helplessly as the black cat leaped more than ten meters high and disappeared from the wall they had come from.

Aoshi kindly reminded him, "Remember not to go out recently."

The Hollow White Society hunts targets with high spiritual pressure, and Quincy are naturally among them.

This time, Masaki Kurosaki understood. Although her voice was still young, she said firmly, "I will not run away. As a Quincy, I will never allow a Hollow to harm innocent people so recklessly."

Won't you run away?

Qing Si glanced at her.

Just as Masaki Kurosaki's face began to flush red from being seen, she whispered:

"Don't worry, nothing will happen."

......

Seireitei, a secret research base.

Three men dressed in white down coats were watching the surveillance signals transmitted back from the real world.

Above, a massive, pitch-black monster with a deathly white mask and sharp bull horns was silently wandering through the city.

Strangely, it seemed that no one could see him.

Gin Ichimaru knew that this was because human spiritual pressure was too weak; they couldn't even sense the existence of Hollow White, let alone see it.

The ability of the ethereal white to conceal spiritual pressure is exceptional. If a device capable of locating it had not been implanted in its body beforehand, even they would have had a hard time pinpointing its exact location.

"It's terrifying. He's grown to this extent in just a few days. Even just observing him through the screen, you can feel that overwhelming sense of despair."

"If we let it grow any further, it might reach some terrifying height. Should we just leave it alone?"

Looking at the man standing close to him, Gin Ichimaru smiled and said.

"Oh, that's alright."

Aizen smiled gently:

"Anyway, we are gradually pinpointing the location of Kisuke Urahara and Shinji Hirako's group. Once we find them, we can use Shinji Hirako and the others to continue the Hollowfication experiment."

"Take your time, Gin, yes."

"Everything is under our control."

Kaname Tosen suddenly spoke up: "Although we successfully installed the ability that allows Hollow to induce people to become Hollow, the souls of ordinary Gotei 13 members simply cannot withstand it and will collapse on the spot."

"If this isn't resolved..."

"Why do we need to solve this?" Aizen glanced at him and explained with a smile, "If the souls of ordinary Gotei 13 members cannot withstand the power of Hollow White, then we can simply choose a stronger soul."

Gin Ichimaru was startled, and subtly probed, "Does Captain Aizen mean... that he wants Seiji Ukitake to use the power of Hollow White to achieve Hollowfication?"

Upon hearing this, Aizen looked over and said softly, "Gin, have you noticed that you seem to be very concerned about things concerning Ukitake Seiji?"

With his hands tucked into his sleeves, Gin Ichimaru chuckled and said, "Oh, isn't it because Captain Aizen is paying so much attention to him that I've unconsciously started paying attention to him too?"

Is that so?

"Even Gin is paying so much attention to Ukitake Seiji. He must be an excellent man after all."

Aizen remained noncommittal, silently moving on from the previous topic.

But upon hearing his assessment, Gin Ichimaru narrowed his eyes.

An outstanding man...?

"To allow a stronger soul to be equipped with the power of emptiness?"

At this moment, Tosen turned around, his brows furrowed.

Hollow White is currently the most perfect experimental subject, possessing infinite possibilities, but unfortunately no Shinigami has been able to withstand its power.

If it were replaced by a captain-level soul.

Maybe... it really can be done!

Thinking of this, Tosen Kaname's brows relaxed.

"interesting."

"Then, I'm really starting to look forward to the situation that Captain Aizen described happening."

Hearing his words, Aizen pushed up his glasses and reminded him, "Yes, it will be even more interesting than you imagine."

As he spoke.

Under the curious gaze of the two, Aizen took a few steps forward and zoomed in on a surveillance camera.

"This is... Captain Kurotsuchi of the 12th Division? Did he go to the human world?"

Tosen made a gesture as if he were 'looking' at the surveillance footage. I don't know how he, a blind man, could do that, but he recognized Kurenai at a glance.

"Tch, going to the mortal world without permission? What is Captain Nekomamushi planning to do?"

"Ichimaru Gin asked curiously."

Then, he took his hand out of his sleeve and began to manually adjust the device. Soon, the data was fed back.

"Interesting. Are they setting up a trap for Quincy?"

"It seems that Captain Nekomamushi is also preparing to do some pranks that might anger the Captain-Commander."

Gin Ichimaru suddenly turned his head and pointed at Mikoto Kurotsuchi on the screen, asking, "Shouldn't we just ignore her, Captain Aizen? She might ruin our plans."

Aizen shook his head.

"No need, Silver."

"Let's see what they're capable of."

"Whether it is Nekorea."

“Void and white”.

"Or perhaps, Ukitake Seiji."

At this point, Aizen's lips curled into a slight smile, and a strong interest shone in his eyes.

I'm really curious, how far can you go, Aoshi-kun?

Chapter 72 Gray Cat, Execute Him!

evening.

Karakura Town and Naruki City remained peaceful, as if the Hollow monster had never existed.

Shiba Isshin took the opportunity to return to Soul Society, saying he wanted to see Captain-Commander Yamamoto.

Seiji then handed Nel the bracelet that allowed her to control her transformation.

"What is this?"

Matsumoto Rangiku poked at the pink bracelet on Nel's wrist and said coquettishly, "It looks pretty. Is there no one else who can have one?"

As she spoke, she casually pulled her wrist away, indicating that the space was empty—a blatant hint.

"There are some."

Aoshi nodded seriously.

Upon hearing this, Matsumoto Rangiku's eyes lit up with surprise.

Then, she saw the man's gaze fall on her fair neck, and the smile on her face vanished instantly.

"I'll kill you!"

With her collar being held, Aoji stared intently and earnestly reminded her, "Rangiku, you're showing too much skin."

To be fair, Rangiku is really something.

Moreover, her mature yet innocent appearance has a unique charm.

"Then you shouldn't look at it."

“I still want to see it.” Qing Si shook his head decisively, hesitating for even a second would be disrespectful to something beautiful. “Besides, with such a beautiful view in front of us, if I don’t appreciate it, then I would be the one who doesn’t understand romance.”
