Death: Starting as the Guardian of Avici Hell

After waiting for a while without any results, Rangiku prepared to leave.

However, at that moment, they suddenly sensed unusual spiritual energy fluctuations coming from the room.

Her eyes lit up immediately, and she suppressed her restless heart once again.

We waited quietly for a few minutes.

Just as Rangiku's patience was wearing thin, and she was grinding her teeth, making a creaking sound, wondering whether she should break down the door and rush in, the door suddenly opened.

One figure stepped out first.

A quiet and gentle temperament, long black hair falling to her waist, and a pure white haori.

and many more!

Something doesn't seem right!

Rangiku stared intently at the face flushed an abnormal red and the shihaka outfit that didn't match his figure.

Even the haori has been changed to the one from the prison order.

Damn it, what have you done?!

Rangiku's expression gradually turned fierce, as if she wanted to rush up and ask her for an explanation.

However, at that moment, Retsu Unohana noticed a strange spying. Following the gaze, she saw a girl with a figure no less impressive than hers squatting in a tree, watching her.

That child seems to be one of those who admire Kong, right?

Her name seems to be Matsumoto Rangiku. She has great talent and has mastered Shikai at a young age.

However, he doesn't seem to have much courage.

Otherwise, why hasn't there been any substantial progress for so long?

Thinking of this, Unohana Retsu looked at Matsumoto Rangiku and revealed a victor's smile.

Matsumoto Rangiku's expression froze instantly, her eyes widened, and her breath almost stopped. She instinctively prepared to rush out and fight Unohana Retsu.

However, before she could take any action, the figure in the courtyard had already disappeared.

Seeing this, Rangiku clenched her fists, and her spiritual pressure involuntarily flared outwards.

What are you laughing at?!

Nasty old woman!

Chapter 258 Ah, good, it's done!

As the weather turns cold and snowflakes flutter down, opening the window and taking a breath of the cool air makes me feel much more refreshed.

Naraku Sora nestled by the fireplace, holding a cup of hot tea, feeling the warmth provided by the Vengeful God, and was completely at ease.

Although this temperature change doesn't have much of an impact on him, the comfort of the environment directly affects a person's mood.

He did indeed experience intense internal competition during his daily practice, but after all the hard work, it was time to enjoy it.

Proper relaxation is beneficial to physical and mental health.

Recently, Aizen has been busy researching the second stage of Hollowfication and hasn't had much free time, which means he can't share any good things with others.

I had no choice but to slack off in the team barracks for a few days.

It's not really suitable to go to Unohana Retsu's place every day. As the captain of the Fourth Division and the head of the Comprehensive Aid Center, her usual work is quite busy.

It is worth mentioning that during the days when Retsu Unohana disappeared, his vice-captain Seinosuke Yamada went to the First Division alone to complain and accuse someone of harming his colleagues.

They even produced "letters" that could serve as evidence.

After a quick glance, Yamamoto understood what had happened, and his previously anxious heart immediately settled down.

Ultimately, it was just two brutes fighting.

Judging from Naraku Sora's performance of destroying the Dangai with a single strike, what problem could there be? Not to mention he also has the Hollowfication trump card.

Therefore, Yamamoto was still quite at ease.

After offering a few words of comfort to Yamada Seinosuke, he sent him back.

After leaving the First Division barracks, Seinosuke Yamada once again realized the corruption of the Seireitei's upper echelons.

Captain-Commander Yamamoto Shigekuni disregarded the laws of Soul Society, protecting his disciples who committed atrocities with impunity.

As the captain of the Fourth Division, he was powerless against this towering figure, both in terms of strength and influence, and had no choice but to report it to the Forty-Sixth Chamber.

Hopefully, the wise men and judges will uphold justice for Captain Unohana.

Not long after.

Seinosuke Yamada stood blankly at the entrance of the underground council hall, holding the 46th Chamber's attitude toward the matter.

"What do you mean that the 46th Chamber has no right to manage the internal affairs of the Zhenyang Prison?"

……

……

Naraku Sora was unaware of Yamada Seinosuke's actions, nor did he know the current attitude of the 46th Chamber towards him.

As long as these old fogies don't resort to any underhanded tricks behind our backs, it's fine.

If you have any opinions, just confront them directly. At worst, he can take on forty-six of them by himself.

If you still feel it's unfair, you can have your family members join in.

Naraku Sora said there was absolutely no problem.

He downed the hot tea in one gulp, casually drew his Zanpakuto from the fire, and sheathed it again, ready to begin his inspection of the day's work.

However, as soon as she stepped outside, she ran into Akane Shizuku, who had an excited expression on her face.

"Greetings, Lord Naraku!"

What's going on here?

Naraku Sora curiously sized up the girl in front of him. She was full of youthful energy, and although her figure was not particularly outstanding, she had a unique charm.

Instead of wearing the standard Shinigami uniform, he changed into a researcher's uniform from the Technology Development Bureau.

Akane Shizuku paused for a moment, then, noticing the other person's gaze lingering on her clothes, she suddenly realized:

You mean this?

"I was transferred to work under Lord Nie a while ago, didn't Senior Ge Kuang tell you?"

Nai Luo Kong: "?"

Putting aside whether these subordinates respect me or not, do you think a thought bead that has become sentient has research talent?

It seems that he saw through someone's thoughts, or rather, Naraku Sora is never good at hiding his emotions and thoughts in front of people he knows well.

Akane Shizuku chuckled and said smugly, "Lord Nie said I have a great talent for research, and I am ten or a hundred times better than a certain prison warden."

"So, aren't you envious?"

Naraku Sora raised an eyebrow, immediately becoming interested, and went with Akane Shizuku to Mayuri Kurotsuchi's private research lab.

"You've finally arrived."

When the door opened, what came into view was a face covered in white paint, with bloodshot eyes and an extremely distorted expression.

It seems to be moving away from the realm of normal human beings.

"Ah, Shizuku, you've arrived, and so has Mr. Naraku."

Mayuri Kurotsuchi wasn't surprised by Naraku's arrival.

As a regular at the lab, he had long ago recorded the palm prints and spiritual pressure of Naraku Sora's room.

If the palm print cannot be opened, the gate can still be opened instantly as long as the corresponding spiritual pressure is detected.

To prevent someone from smashing the metal door in an emergency.

"Lord Nie, what is my research work today?"

Akane Shizuku looked very energetic.

Mayuri Kurotsuchi glanced at her, a strange smile curving his lips, and replied in a low voice:

“Sit here, and then be studied.”

Akane Shizuku: "..."

Is it too late to retract the words I just used to mock someone?

Why would the work of a research institute be the subject of research?

Is this some kind of New Year's tradition?!

Although she was somewhat resistant, she obediently sat down in her assigned chair out of trust in Naraku Sora.

Soon, some strange instruments appeared around us and began scanning and sampling the whole thing.

From hair and skin debris to blood, more than three samples were collected for each item.

Naraku Sora curiously leaned closer: "Mayuri, what kind of project is this?"

Mayuri Kurotsuchi glanced at the person next to him, but he usually wouldn't bother with anyone else.

But things didn't go as planned.

They not only supported him in conducting various prohibited experiments, but also provided him with a large number of high-precision equipment and instruments, and his research funding was never lacking.

Furthermore, it occasionally offers excellent experimental projects, such as hellish hot springs and Zanpakuto forging.

He's many times stronger than when he was in the 12th Division.

"I wonder if Mr. Naraku has ever heard of artificial body technology or artificial soul technology?"

I've heard a little about it.

Mayuri Kurotsuchi gave a strange look.

It was a research project that hadn't even been launched yet, something that most of the research Shinigami in the Twelfth Division had never even heard of, yet Naraku Sora knew about it.

Given the many fascinating aspects of one's own leader, it's not surprising to know these things.
