Death's Hidden Mobile

Madarame Ikkaku shook his head and said, "No, Natsuhiko might still be alive. Didn't Aizen say that Natsuhiko has just become faster and is relatively stationary compared to us? Because he can't stay in one place for a hundred years, we can't see him, but he is definitely still alive. You can only see him if you are alive."

Soi Fon said softly, "After accelerating, one second of his life is equivalent to a hundred days, and ten days is equivalent to more than 80 million years. How could anyone's consciousness sustain such a long time? His body won't die, and he can't commit suicide. The only result will be a mental breakdown, forever trapped in the time gap, and I will never see him again. If Xia Yan still had consciousness, why wouldn't he come to save me? Is Xia Yan who has lost his own consciousness still Xia Yan? I can never see him again, never. So, I choose death."

"But……"

Madarame Ikkaku looked somewhat troubled upon hearing this.

"Captain-Commander Yamamoto has been taken away. Let's leave quickly."

At that moment, two figures rushed into the house; they were Renji Abarai and Izuru Kira.

Ikkaku Madarame scratched his head and said, "Captain Soi Fon doesn't plan to leave."

Renji Abarai looked at Soi Fon and asked, puzzled, "Why don't you leave? Why don't you leave?"

Madarame Ikkaku repeated Soi Fon's words, and Abarai Renji said angrily, "Captain Soi Fon, you must leave because you are Natsuhiko's only love. You carry all his love. How can you not live?"

Kira Izuru added, "It's not just Natsuhiko's love, but also our love. Those who came this time, and those who supported us, include Natsuhiko's childhood friends, his friends, and his colleagues. Almost everyone has been saved by him. He saved our lives, and all our feelings and gratitude towards Natsuhiko are concentrated on you. You carry everyone's expectations. Captain Soi Fon, please come with us and survive, okay?"

Kira Izuru's eyes were a little red.

He didn't think Xia Yan was right. If he saw Xia Yan about to invade the Soul King's Palace, he would refuse to protect the Soul King or help Xia Yan because the 13th Division was protecting the Seireitei and the Zero Division was protecting the Soul King's Palace. He belonged to the 13th Division.

But Xia Yan is dead. Even if Xia Yan did wrong, the feelings in his heart will not disappear.

Moreover, everyone's emotions will not disappear, but can only be poured into Soi Fon, because she is Natsuhiko's most beloved person.

"Feelings? You place your feelings on me. But where do I place my feelings? You find solace in this, but what about me? Am I to continue enduring this torment that is worse than death?"

Soi Fon's eyes were red and tears welled up as she looked at the three of them and said, "Whether you're sad or not is none of my business. I just want to be free, to be free forever from Natsuhiko's disappearance."

At this point, Soi Fon's voice trembled with emotion. "It's not just once, Natsuhiko has died more than once. If he were truly dead, I would believe he would return. But he didn't die; instead, he became a ghost forever. No one can see him, no one can know him. He spent tens of millions of years alone in a place where no one can see him. That was more painful for him than death. The thought of him losing his will and becoming a ghost with nowhere to go, wandering the world, causes me immense pain. Can you imagine?"

"So please leave me alone, give me relief, let me escape from this pain. Please leave quickly. I beg you."

When she uttered the last five words, Soi Fon's face was full of pleading.

Upon hearing this, Madarame Ikkaku roared, "Since you don't intend to leave, then we'll kidnap you. Abarai Renji, prepare to make your move."

As he spoke, Madarame Ikkaku was about to make a move, but Abarai Renji grabbed him and said with his head down, "Never mind."

Madarame Ikkaku didn't understand Abarai Renji's actions and glared at him, saying, "What are you doing? Aren't you Natsuhiko's good brother?"

Kira Izuru sighed and said, "Captain Soi Fon is right. We want to pour all our feelings and gratitude for Natsuhiko into Soi Fon's body. But we forgot that the one suffering the most is actually Captain Soi Fon. With each day she lives, she will suffer more, and the pain will not lessen, but only intensify. We can't be so selfish as to let Captain Soi Fon slowly walk into the abyss just so we can find comfort."

"Ah~!"

Madarame Ikkaku roared, looking somewhat annoyed.

Soi Fon said softly, "I'm not leaving. Don't waste your time here. Saving me will only make you sinners like me. Leave now, go find Shiba Kaien and Rukia, stop them, and there's still a chance to turn things around."

Renji Abarai gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go."

Madarame Ikkaku clenched his fist, feeling resentful but helpless.

Soi Fon has made her decision, and they cannot change it with their own power.

They never expected that they would be persuaded by Soi Fon after they went to rescue her.

They were persuaded not because they lacked a firm stance, but because they also experienced the pain that Soi Fon described.

That kind of sorrow was unbearable even for them.

Chapter 312: Powerless

"A scorching hell, the old man is furious."

In the Eighth Division's barracks, Kyoraku Shunsui sat in the corridor, a sake bottle and cup in front of him, but his gaze was fixed on the distant Sogyoku Hill, where flames raged.

"Aren't you going to do something? One of them is Captain Shiba, and I believe he can't withstand Captain-Commander Yamamoto."

Ise Nanao appeared not far away, standing behind Kyoraku Shunsui.

Kyoraku Shunsui shook his head and said, "Their plan is to take Soi Fon away, and the battle is taking place at Sokyogaoka. This proves that they have lured the old man away, so as long as someone goes to rescue him, they will be able to rescue Soi Fon. My going will be of no use and will only make the situation worse."

"But you're so irritable, still not asleep this late. And you haven't drunk a drop of your wine."

Ise Nanao saw the sake cup in front of Kyoraku Shunsui, which was still full.

Kyoraku Shunsui said with a wry smile, "How could anyone possibly drink that?"

Getting drunk can relieve one's troubles, but if one is truly sorrowful, then drinking will only make one more sorrowful.

You can't cut water with a knife; you can't drown your sorrows with a cup of wine.

Kyoraku Shunsui squinted at the distant flames, feeling as if his own heart was being burned to ashes.

. . .

"Soi Fon might not necessarily leave with you."

Retsu Unohana stood by the window, looking out, and said slowly.

Her eyes were filled with sorrow. She stood by the window for a while, then turned and left.

. . .

"I don't know if it will be successful, but um, it should be successful."

Shiba Kukaku paced back and forth in the room, while Shiba Ganju knelt beside him with a somber expression.

They knew about Shiba Kaien's plan and offered to go with him, but their offer was not accepted.

We can only wait for the final news.

. . .

In the present world, Naruki City.

"Why? Yoruichi is blocking us, and Liza, you're blocking us too. What exactly do you want?"

Hiyori Sarugaki glared at Lisa Yadomaru, who stood there at an angle with her head down, Yoruichi standing beside her. The two of them blocked the way of the other members of the Visored.

"I'm going to save Xia Yan."

As Hachigen Yuzaki slowly said, Natsuhiko was not only his apprentice but also his friend.

Despite his naiveté, he was the most determined to save Xia Yan.

Shinji Hirako looked at Lisa Yadōmaru and said, "Natsuhiko wants to kill the Soul King? There's nothing wrong with that, I support Natsuhiko. Now that Soi Fon is about to be executed, I'm going to save her. Lisa, Yoruichi, you two don't stop me."

Kensei Mugurumaru looked at Lisa Yadomaru and asked, "Lisa, you and Natsuhiko are the best of friends, why did you stop us at this time? Tell me your reasons."

Lisa Yadomaru lowered her head and said, "It's simple, because only death can be the greatest relief for Soi Fon."

Yoruichi sighed and said, "Urahara kept Natsuhiko trapped in the time rift, unable to escape the imprisonment of time forever. For Soi Fon, death is the best relief."

Hiyori Sarugaki sneered, "Death brings liberation? How could that be? Yoruichi, you think that way because Soi Fon killed Kisuke Urahara, and that's why Soi Fon died. But Lisa, what are you doing? How can that be liberation?"

Hiyori Sarugaki was furious and couldn't understand their actions. If they died, they would disappear completely. How could they possibly be completely free?

"Because that's what I think too."

Lisa Yadomaru suddenly raised her head, her face covered in tears.

. . .

"Should we go save Soi Fon?"

Inside the Hueco Mundo Palace, Ginjo Kūgo looked at Halibel and asked.

After the Thousand-Year Blood War ended, Ginjo Kūgo and the others returned to Hueco Mundo following Natsuhiko's instructions. A few days later, they received Natsuhiko's report and information that Soi Fon had been imprisoned and was to be executed.

"Our duty is to return to Hueco Mundo; we have no other duty."

"Heribel said softly."

The others had very complicated expressions. Although they were Xia Yan's subordinates, they were willing to fight for him.

But Xia Yan is dead, and they are unwilling to give their lives for him.

“I’m going to save Soi Fon.” Nellyel stood up and said, “Whether you go or not, I’m going to save her.”

Nereil is the captain of the Hueco Mundo Covert Mobile Force Patrol Team and also Natsuhiko's personal guard.

She was more loyal to Xia Yan than the others, so she decided to go.

"Let's forget about it."

Dondchaka and Pesser exchanged a glance. Dondchaka said, "If we go to Seireitei now, we will definitely be besieged. At that time, you will die, my lord."

Nellyel narrowed her eyes and said, "I'm going to save Soi Fon. And I believe that someone in Seireitei must be taking action, so I'm not alone."

"I'll go as well."

Perez stood up and followed behind Nelielu.

"Okay, let's go together."

Nellyel and Perez were about to leave Las Noches, but Halibel blocked their way and said, "Sorry, but I will stop you if you want to go."

"And me too."

Grimmjow appeared in front of Perez.

Ulquiorra gripped his blade tightly, ready to strike if Nelliel attempted to leave.

Nellyel looked at them and asked, "Why? Don't you have any feelings for Xia Yan at all?"

Harribel said calmly, "Our service to Xia Yan is enough to offset his help. The important thing now is not to let Hueco Mundo become a target of Xia Yan's attacks because of Xia Yan's affairs."

Grimmjow nodded and said, "That's what I was thinking too."

"You, all of you."

Neliel was furious, but with these three people blocking her way, she couldn't leave at all.

Seeing this, Ginjo Kūgo yawned and said, "Let's go to sleep and talk about it tomorrow."

Ginjou Kugo led the Fullbringer team away, while Nelieel slumped to the ground, asking blankly, "Why didn't you make a move?"

Neliel looked sad, but there was nothing she could do.

. . .

Jinglingting, on the hill of Shuangji.
