Both start in hell: but their talents are multiplied a hundredfold.

The drinking party ended quickly. After Kyoraku Shunsui explained a series of investigation plans, Shen Jue patted his chest and said that he would be at the forefront of the investigation.

This moved Kyoraku Shunsui so much that he drank three cups of wine with Shen Jue.

Shen Jue's security career in the Thirteenth Guardian Team returned to normalcy. Every day, besides going to work, he would spend his time with his two subordinate officers practicing their inner cultivation in the mortal world.

Toshiro Hitsugaya has matured quite a bit.

With the captain of the 10th Division, Shiba Isshin, not yet back, the 10th Division's paperwork has been handed over by the lazy Shen Jue to the lazy Matsumoto Rangiku, who in turn handed it over to the newly appointed seat officer, Hitsugaya Toshiro.

Dealing with heavy paperwork every day, the young boy Toshiro Hitsugaya has naturally matured quite a bit.

Toshiro Hitsugaya was engrossed in his paperwork at the 10th Division barracks when Shen Jue walked in with a grim expression.

"Vice Captain Shen Jue, what happened?" Toshiro Hitsugaya asked curiously.

"The 10th Division Captain Shiba Isshin has been declared missing by the Central 46." Shen Jue took a deep breath and said, "The Captain-Commander has ordered the rescue of the 5th Division Captain Aizen Sousuke, and he and the 10th Division Vice-Captain Shen Jue will go to the real world to carry out a special rescue mission."

"A Death God noble of captain rank has mysteriously disappeared."

"Captain Shiba has really given us a huge problem."

Shen Jue explained the situation to Hitsugaya Toshiro: "Toshiro, before Captain Aizen and I complete our special rescue mission, I'm entrusting the 10th Division to you and Matsumoto Rangiku."

"I will definitely bring Captain Shiba back!"

"You're so foolish, Captain!" Shen Jue thought to himself. "What's the difference between this and herding wolves into a sheepfold?"

This is the terrifying aspect of information asymmetry. In the original storyline of Bleach, the strongest Shinigami Captain-Commander in a thousand years, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, had his Bankai stolen because of information asymmetry, and later died at the hands of Yhwach because of the constraints of responsibility and protection.

Seeing Shen Jue issue a declaration that sounded like a death flag, Toshiro Hitsugaya was on edge. He shouted, "Vice Captain Shen Jue, please come back alive!"

Shen Jue paused, then waved his hand and resolutely left the Tenth Division barracks.

In the present world, Aizen smiled and led the members of the Fifth Division of the Shinigami to the location where Shiba Isshin was last seen, and began a thorough search.

Shen Jue, on the other hand, began searching for Shiba Isshin's spiritual pressure in the mortal world using extremely profound Kido techniques.

Shen Jue's demonic arts had once been recognized by the captain.

This is why Shen Jue was chosen to cooperate with the Fifth Division Rescue Team on their mission.

The world today is filled with the atmosphere of modern urban life.

If it weren't for the mission, Shen Jue would definitely go to Urahara Kisuke's shop to surprise him, and while he's at it, get a cybernetic body so he can experience the glitz and glamour of the modern world again.

Shiba Isshin's spiritual pressure has completely disappeared in the present world, but some of his residual spiritual particles can still be found.

Shen Jue knew exactly where Shiba Isshin was, but he had no intention of taking him back to Soul Society.

Therefore, Shen Jue found a compromise to complete this mission.

On a sweltering summer day, under the lush trees baked by the sun, a black cat was lying on its back, enjoying the shade.

The black cat looked so relaxed and carefree; it was incredibly cute.

"Oh my, what an adorable kitty."

As a soul, Shen Jue's body moved like a ghost through the lush trees, and exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the black cat.

"Such an adorable kitten, it would be a waste of your life not to pet it," Shen Jue said with a smile, then squatted down and used both hands to touch the black cat's belly.

With a nimble flip, the black cat dodged Shen Jue's hands and strolled past him as if it hadn't seen him at all.

"Huh? This kitten is so naughty," Shen Jue said dejectedly, then belatedly realized to herself, "I've completely forgotten that I'm a soul now."

"The soul cannot touch any living being in this world."

"But what should I do if I really want to pet that kitten?"

Even if I can't touch it, I'll still try!

After saying that, Shen Jue bent down to grab the black cat.

With a nimble leap, the black cat dodged Shen Jue's claws.

Shen Jue, however, persisted, following behind the black cat as if determined not to give up.

The black cat shuddered and fled along its usual route toward the outskirts of the city.

Shen Jue followed the black cat leisurely as they left the city.

Shen Jue only stopped when the black cat arrived at a secluded suburb, sat upright on the grass, licked the fur on its paws, and showed a human-like contemplative expression.

"What's wrong? Kitty, aren't you going to keep running away?" Shen Jue asked with a smile.

The black cat seemed to roll its eyes, and then just sat there, waiting for Shen Jue to catch it.

"Cute little cat." Shen Jue grabbed the black cat into his arms without any hesitation, completely forgetting the fact that the soul cannot touch living beings in the mortal world.

The black cat rolled around in Shen Jue's arms, just like an ordinary black cat.

Shen Jue gently tugged at the black cat's tail, teased its ears a few times, and then cupped its little face and rubbed it.

Finally, Shen Jue said with a grin, "Such an obedient kitten is rare. Let me see if you're the older brother or the younger sister?"

Just as Shen Jue was about to pick up the black cat to examine it closely, the black cat angrily kicked him in the face.

Shen Jue flew out naturally, tumbling two and a half times in the air before landing on the ground.

"That's really rude of me, Brother Shen Jue!" the black cat said angrily.

"Huh?" Shen Jue scrambled to her feet, straightened her haori, and said, "A cat can talk?"

The black cat opened its mouth and hissed at Shen Jue.

A cloud of black spiritual energy appeared, and Yoruichi, a dark-skinned hot girl who was naked and covering her vitals with her hands, appeared.

That black cat was Yoruichi in disguise.

"Oh my! It's you, Yoruichi! I thought it was just an ordinary black kitten." Upon seeing this, Shen Jue immediately covered his eyes with his fingers and handed Yoruichi the 10th Division Shinigami uniform that he had prepared beforehand.

Yoruichi glared angrily at Shen Jue, then quickly put on her Shinigami uniform before letting out a long sigh.

"It's been so many years, Yoruichi, you're even cuter than before." Shen Jue lowered his hand from his eyes and gave Yoruichi a thumbs up.

After a brief silence, Yoruichi said, "It's been so many years, Shen Jue-ge, you haven't changed a bit."

"Yes, Yoruichi Shihouin, a deserter from the Gotei 13."

The smile on Shen Jue's face disappeared.

"Are you ready to be taken back to Soul Society for judgment?" Shen Jue asked, drawing his Human Game from his waist.
