Death: Starting as the Guardian of Avici Hell

Just as Aizen was pondering, Naraku Sora had already rummaged through a cupboard in the corner and pulled out a huge pile of snacks, then stuffed them all into the hands of the bewildered boy.

"Since I promised to give you a life free from worries about food and clothing, I will definitely not treat you unfairly."

"Don't worry, I, Kong, don't starve my soldiers!"

"By the way, young man, I still don't know your name."

Feeling the happiness of being surrounded by food, the boy paused for a moment, then forced a smile:

"Gin, Gin Ichimaru..."

……

……

After leaving the laboratory, Naraku Sora led Ichimaru Gin directly back to the Shinigami Prison barracks, and took the opportunity to soak in the public hot spring to wash away the dust and fatigue.

This time, the transformation into a divine body has yielded great results, so we must reward the lazy and slacking-off Kinosuke handsomely.

Let's give him a day off, no, half a day off.

If Kisuke knew this, he would surely be moved to tears and exclaim something like, "Kisuke has been wandering for half his life."

Naraku Sora walked toward the laboratory while thinking about it.

Kisuke Urahara, having learned about what was happening at Las Noches, frequently traveled to Hueco Mundo, not only to conduct research on forbidden matters but also because he was more interested in the freedom of being unrestrained there.

However, it seems that he has been staying at home recently because a certain research project has reached a critical stage.

They had only gone halfway when they saw Mayuri Kurotsuchi leaving the laboratory in a flustered manner.

He looked up and saw Naraku Sora. It was as if he had found his pillar of support. He took three steps at a time and came to him.

"Mr. Naraku, disaster has struck."

Naraku Sora frowned and subconsciously asked, "Have I been caught?"

Mayuri Kurotsuchi: "..."

Please forgive him for staying in the lab all day and not being fully aware of how many things Naraku has done.

"It's none of your business."

Mayuri Kurotsuchi twitched the corner of her mouth, not dwelling on the matter further, but said seriously:

"It's too complicated to explain in detail, so why don't you come with me and take a look?"

Driven by curiosity, Naraku Sora followed Mayuri Kurotsuchi into a laboratory. Unlike other laboratories, this one mainly featured a giant screen.

To be honest, even Naraku Sora was a little confused about how the Soul Society's technology tree was structured.

Although the buildings outside are still in an old-fashioned style, the technology has already reached a futuristic level.

And it's the same in the real world.

Long ago, it was already bustling with traffic and filled with skyscrapers.

However, considering that the history of the Three Realms spans millions of years, it doesn't seem to be a problem.

The two approached the screen, and Mayuri Kurotsuchi performed a simple operation.

Soon, a large amount of data fluctuations and a picture appeared in front of me.

Against the deep night sky, visible distortions appeared, as if they had been disturbed by something.

Before long, an abandoned building was reflected in the sky, and judging from its style, it seemed to be from the other side of the world.

Just as Naraku was about to ask, "What does this mean?"

Mayuri Kurotsuchi explained with a serious expression:

"This laboratory is specifically designed to observe unusual spiritual waves. Just now, I observed spiritual waves from the mortal realm from within the rift."

"This also means that the human world is moving closer to the Soul Society!"

Chapter 244 Memories of No One

Without further ado, Mayuri Kurotsuchi reached out and tapped the screen a few times.

The scene constantly shifts, revealing a desolate valley where countless mud-like things grow on the rock walls, piling up layer upon layer.

The crimson earth exuded a profound aura, as if it had been soaked in immeasurable blood.

Even through the screen, you can still feel the eeriness emanating from it, giving people a very uncomfortable feeling.

"Normally, the Soul Society and the real world are separated by a barrier, and the two do not have any interaction."

"But now, for some unknown reason, the distance between them is getting closer and closer, as if someone has built a bridge out of thin air between them, connecting the two worlds."

"Based on my observation, as time goes by, it won't be long before the two realms merge and then collide."

Mayuri Kurotsuchi tried to avoid using technical jargon so that his less-than-intelligent superior could understand him.

"Have you sent someone to investigate?"

Naraku Sora turned his gaze away from the screen and looked at Mayuri Kurotsuchi.

"As soon as this anomaly was discovered, a Death Squad was sent to investigate."

Mayuri Kurotsuchi frowned, as if she had remembered something unpleasant:

"Not only did they not send back any useful information, but now even the people haven't returned."

"Judging from the current situation, he has probably been murdered, which is why I came to discuss this with Mr. Naraku as soon as possible."

Naraku Sora nodded:

"Now that things have come to this, let's notify the teacher first."

"He's the nominal captain, after all. There's no reason not to let him know about such a serious incident."

Soon, Yamamoto, led by the messenger Shinigami, arrived at the laboratory with a serious expression.

Mayuri Kurotsuchi then restated what he had just said in more concise language.

In his eyes, Naraku Sora's current brute state was inextricably linked to this teacher.

Upon hearing this, Yamamoto's face darkened:

"It must have been those damned Quincy who did it!"

"Such events have occurred as early as a hundred years ago, when the balance between the two worlds was disrupted due to the excessive extermination of the Hollows."

"Fortunately, I discovered it early and sent several captains to the human world to negotiate with the Quincy."

"I thought that after signing the contract last time, these damn Quincy would behave themselves, but I didn't expect them to dare to do such heinous things in private!"

"Kid, it seems you're being a bit too lenient."

Narakuku grinned, but didn't say anything.

The old man is in a bad mood; if you say something inappropriate that angers him, you're sure to get a good beating.

Although he's not really afraid now.

Mayuri Kurotsuchi, however, spoke frankly about it without the slightest fear. He frowned slightly.

"Judging from the observed signs, it may not necessarily have been done by the Quincy."

"Because the expansion was too fast, unless they wiped out an extremely large Hollow horde in one go, but the Twelfth Division did not issue an early warning."

"Therefore, I am more inclined to believe that some unknown anomaly has occurred inside the boundary."

Naraku Sora nodded in deep agreement.

It's not surprising at all that Yamamoto Shōchi would say something so thoughtless.

After all, not everyone is like him, possessing extraordinary wisdom rarely seen in the world.

Thinking of this, he crossed his arms and let out a sneer.

Veins bulged on Yamamoto's forehead; if it weren't for the fact that his subordinates were present, he would have already punched that bastard on the head.

"I am merely proposing a hypothesis."

"Regardless of whether it was the Quincy who did it or not, we should send someone to the human world to investigate. If my guess is true, then we should stop them by any means necessary."

"If necessary, all of them can be processed!"

Instantly, a chilling atmosphere filled the entire laboratory.

Despite not releasing a single trace of spiritual pressure, Mayuri Kurotsuchi still felt the rising heat.

It makes one feel thirsty and parched.

"Kid, you're in full charge of this matter. If anything goes wrong, you'll be held responsible!"

Yamamoto left in a hurry after saying just one sentence.

Judging from the direction he left, it seemed he was going to the 12th Division to ask about the specifics.

As the captain-commander of the Gotei 13, his primary task is to protect the Seireitei.

Just then, Kisuke Urahara rushed back from outside.

Upon opening the door, he saw Naraku Sora unharmed, which dampened his initial enthusiasm considerably.

He had just seen Yamamoto leave his barracks with a displeased expression, and he thought he would see something wonderful, but there was nothing there.

It's such a pity.

"Kisuke, you're back." Naraku Sora grinned.

Seeing the smile on someone's face, Kisuke Urahara immediately had a bad feeling.

Just as I was about to say something like "I have other work to do," a large hand appeared out of nowhere and pulled me directly in front of the screen.

Mayuri Kurotsuchi, with perfect understanding, described what had just happened.

This time, it involves a lot of technical jargon that will make your head spin.

Kisuke Urahara's smile faded, and he said seriously:

"Based on the observation results, it is indeed unlikely that the Quincy did it, but we cannot rule out that they used some special methods."

"After all, Quincy don't just exist in this world, they also exist right beneath our feet."
