"What? Hitsugaya is missing? What the hell is going on Captain Zaraki?!"

After receiving the report from Rukia, Ichiryu immediately clarified the responsibilities - it was all Zaraki's fault.

Rukia was also helpless. When she arrived in the present world and found Ichigo, she discovered that he was also looking for Captain Hitsugaya...

Judging from the scene, Hitsugaya seemed to have woken up from a coma and left on his own.

But now is not the time to respect Hitsugaya's personal wishes...

"Rukia, you and Ichigo continue to search for Hitsugaya's spiritual pressure in the real world." Ichiryu gave the order directly to the "Pager God Machine".

The paging machine is a device that can communicate between Soul Society and the real world...

However, the magical thing is that it can be used "between Soul Society and the real world" and can also be used completely in the "real world", but it cannot be used within Soul Society. It seems that there is a lack of substances in Soul Society that can enable it to transmit information.

"Yes!" Rukia responded competently.

At this time, the voice of Kenpachi Zaraki could be heard faintly from the "Pager". Ichiryu said, "Is Kenpachi with you? Tell him to make amends for his crime... and let him go first when he meets an opponent!"

Well, in this way, Gengmu will be willing to take the blame... no, willing to take the responsibility.

Soon, Ichigo and Rukia discovered the traces of the two "Arrancars" Red and Blue in the "real world". However, after a fight, although Red and Blue were defeated, they opened the Black Chamber, and countless Hollows were teleported from the "Hyperion"!

Ichigo had no choice but to eliminate these Hollows first, allowing the two Arrancars to escape.

On the other hand, in Soul Society, Soi-Fong, who had received the news, also came to Ichiryū to ask for an explanation: "Didn't you say that your precious son was 'protecting' Hitsugaya Toushirou? How did he disappear?"

"No, no, no, that's not right... Entrusting Ichigo with protection is just a stopgap measure. He's just a deputy Shinigami and doesn't even have a proper organization. With Zaraki, a legitimate captain, also in Karakura Town, how can we let a small deputy take the blame if something goes wrong?" Ichigo said responsibly.

Broken Bee: ...

Naturally, Soi-Fong rolled her eyes at Yilong's unreasonable arguments.

At the same time, a "Hell Butterfly" flew towards Yilong and landed on his fingertips. Yilong showed a look of surprise, and then enlightenment - because they were communicating within the "Soul Society", they could only use the not-so-convenient "Hell Butterfly".

"Have you found the grass crown?" Soi Feng was still quite concerned about this matter.

Although Kusanagi was able to escape death due to the mistakes of the nobles who kept the [Royal Seal], Kusanagi was indeed the target of the [Secret Mobile Force], so Soi-Fong was still quite concerned about the finishing blow after thirty years.

"No, it's another matter... I have to go to the Technology Development Bureau. By the way, if you find Caoguan, don't rush to execute him thirty years ago. I still have something to ask him. Besides, it won't be easy to kill him with the [King's Seal] in hand. If you have any clues, let me know first." Yilong instructed Soi-Fong.

"He's just a kid who hasn't even mastered Bankai." Soi-Fong was very disdainful of Ichiryu's reminder.

"Just because you haven't mastered Bankai doesn't necessarily mean you're a brat!" Yilong came up to him with a grin on his face. Theoretically, Yilong had not mastered Bankai in the past hundred years.

Yilong has never admitted that he "hid" his Bankai. Even if he used Bankai, it could be that he just realized it!

But this time, Soi-Feng held up her face to block it: "If you want to find him, it's not impossible for me to remind you then."

Zhifeng obviously didn't think there was any danger from "Sojiro Kusanagi", he just saw that Ichiryu had his own ideas.

Then Yilong came to the former 12th Division’s barracks, which was the “Technical Development Bureau”.

Just now, Ohuo Tiger sent a message that the female Arrancar Tiruti who was captured alive before was sent to the "Technical Development Bureau" - it seems that it is because Captain Kurotsuchi Mayuri needs the "Arrancar" as a test subject to repair the detection equipment of Soul Society, which cannot recognize the "Arrancar"!

The "Prison Team" and the "Technical Development Bureau" are both subordinate to the [Service Force] and are only transferred internally, so Kurotsuchi Mayuri's application was easily approved.

However, because there were many old subordinates of Ichiryu who stayed behind to assist Komamura in his work in the "Prison Team", Ichiryu was naturally notified at the first time.

When Yilong arrived at the "Technology Development Bureau", Tiruti had not been sent there yet.

"What can I do for you, Commander-in-Chief Shifengin?" The guarding god of death at the entrance of the Technology Development Bureau stopped Shifengin Ichiryu.

After all, the three major forces have now been "separated", and the "Supervisory Force" and "Former Second Division" are said to be about to be reorganized. There is no power and responsibility relationship between Shifengyuan Ichiryu and the Technical Development Bureau. They are just "leaders of other departments."

"Director Nie invited me here." Yilong said calmly.

"Eh? So..." The guard was stunned when he heard this. He had never heard of such a thing, but Lord Shifengyuan would not tell such a lie.

at this time……

"That's right, the captain has been waiting for you." Nie Yinmeng walked over at this time.

"Deputy Captain." The guard at the door breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Nie Yinmeng coming, so he didn't have to worry about it.

In fact, Yilong did not notify Kurotsuchi Mayuri at all, and came directly to kill him. However, Kurotsuchi Mayuri saw Yilong from the surveillance video, so he asked Nie Yinmeng to come and pick him up.

Shifengyuan and Nieyinmeng walked into the Technology Development Bureau.

After experiencing two destructions, "Kuroshita Mayuri resists arrest" and "Kariya Gami attack", the outer buildings of the Technology Development Bureau have been rebuilt.

The style gives me a feeling of Yilong...

More fortress-like!

Yilong estimated that this also reflected the change in Kurotsuchi Mayuri's mentality - after becoming a hollow, he began to feel insecure, and if it was under normal circumstances, rationality would definitely outweigh sensibility for Kurotsuchi Mayuri, and "lack of security" would be a very easy psychological change to adjust, but... after becoming a hollow, his sensibility also slightly expanded, which allowed the "lack of security" mentality to remain.

Therefore, when deciding on the renovation plan, I was subtly influenced by this and had a feeling of resisting external attacks.

Nie Yinmeng took Yilong and walked deeper into Nie Mayuri's secret laboratory.

"Huh? Who is that person?" Yilong suddenly looked at the corridor on the side and saw a somewhat wretched figure hurried away.

Yilong just noticed that someone was paying attention to him, so he turned his head to look over, but the other person looked very guilty.

He was wearing a research suit, so he shouldn't be from outside the Technology Development Bureau...

"Inaba Kagerousa, the seventh seat in the team, is also the director of the Technology Development Bureau and the Sundering Laboratory." After taking a look, Nie Yinmeng answered without hiding anything.

Even though it’s just a back view, but…

Inaba's style of dressing with no neck, sloping shoulders, and a high collar is very recognizable.

"The Broken World Laboratory..." Yilong muttered, and then suddenly remembered something and said, "Oh, right, the previous [Purification Chapter] was also sealed in the Broken World in the end, right?"

"Yes." Nie Yinmeng nodded and continued walking.

It can be seen that because of what Ichiryu did to Kurotsuchi Mayuri, although Niemeng obeyed orders to pick up Ichiryu and answered his questions, she was very cold.

Yilong was thinking about when to find a [Purification Seal] for Koga Tsuneya. Among the soul hunters who had secretly pledged allegiance to Yilong, he was the only one who had not yet absorbed the [Purification Seal].

Before, there was only one person for each pot, and there were only so many [Purification Chapters], so it was not difficult for Yilong to take one, but now...

Although it did not cause any big explosion before, the nobles also abandoned these [Purification Chapters] just because they were not as strong as imagined and caused trouble.

Not long ago, it was decided to seal them into the Broken World. Theoretically, even the coordinates were not left behind. Theoretically, if they were thrown into the Broken World like this, no one would be able to find them again.

but……

The Technology Development Bureau has a special department to monitor the Broken World, so there must be a back door. Yilong plans to go find a few [Purifying World Chapters] after the limelight has passed for a while, just in case!

When he saw Mayuri Kurotsuchi again, Yilong was surprised to find that without a deeper perception, he could no longer sense the aura of "emptiness" in him...

It seems that the director of the Technology Development Bureau adapts faster than Yilong imagined!

"Isn't this Commander-in-Chief Shifengyuan? What a rare guest..." Kurotsuchi Mayuri's tone gave people a malicious feeling - of course, his tone was always like this.

However, Yilong also understood that after Kurotsuchi Mayuri completely overcame his hollowness, he became more confident.

The two still have a tacit understanding to keep secrets from each other, but... their relationship is definitely not very good.

"I'm just here to supervise Director Nie's improvement work on virtual monitoring." Yilong said calmly.

"Don't worry, the transformation has basically been completed, and we're just waiting for the final test... Nemu, when will the Arrancar be delivered?" Kurotsuchi Mayuri said confidently - after all, it couldn't be detected before, which meant he was the one who tampered with it.

"Captain, we're on the way." Nie Yinmeng replied immediately.

"Let's not talk about the Arrancar for now. What does Director Nirvana think about the [King's Seal]?" Yilong asked calmly.

"The Soul King Palace's special energy body... uses special spirit particles similar to those of the Zero Squad. It's of little reference value." Kurotsuchi Mayuri said in a serious tone.

In Kurotsuchi Mayuri's opinion, the [King's Seal] doesn't require any technical content, it's just "powerful and powerful" - with the special spirit particles of the Spirit King Palace, it can be easily made... at least it is easy for him, and without them... it can't be made!

"What does Director Nirvana think about the identical Zanpakutō?" Yilong didn't believe his evasion.

The Technical Development Bureau had already detected the loss of control of the [Royal Seal] thirty years ago, so the 46th Division immediately stopped its activities and did not pursue anything with the [Secret Mobile Force]. It was also at that time that Kuroshio Mayuri figured out what the [Royal Seal] was.

Now that something has happened to the King's Seal, Kurotsuchi Mayuri should also have discovered traces of the Grass Crown in it...

"Who knows? If Commander-in-Chief Shifengyuan is so interested, why not ask your technical advisor to study it? Tsk tsk." Kurotsuchi Mayuri clicked his tongue in disdain.

Well, not long ago, Yilong also wanted to set up a research institute, on the grounds that it would serve as a supplement to the "Technology Development Bureau", but... before the approval result from Office 46 came out, the plan was aborted.

Because Lan Dao, the researcher that Yilong has his eyes on, ignores him completely!

Although at the end of the Soul Hunting incident, facts proved that Yilong was right, and... Soul Hunters such as Tamamo Su were still on Yilong's side, but Lan Dao still had a lot of opinions about Yilong, and now he went to the human world with Tamamo Su!

Without a researcher, Yilong naturally no longer mentioned setting up a new research institute. However, Kurotsuchi Mayuri felt that Shihouin Yilong was looking down on him!

At this moment, the internal phone nearby rang. After answering it, Nie Yinmeng reported to Nie Mayuri: "Captain, the Arrancar has been sent over..."

2023-10-01

Tiruti was transferred from the prison to the Technology Development Bureau under seal. When he saw the things again, he found that they were already in a laboratory...

Although Tiruti is an "Arrancar" from Hueco Mundo, she can still recognize "laboratory" because there are some in Hueco Mundo and even in Hueco Night Palace - Sal Apollo is the "perverted scientist" in Hueco Mundo.

Tiruti had seen Sal Apollo's laboratory, so... he immediately concluded that the black and white-faced Grim Reaper in front of him must also be a pervert - although there were major problems with the argumentation process, and there were many researchers who were not perverts, but... this conclusion was indeed correct!

In terms of the degree of perversion, Kurotsuchi Mayuri is the Sal Apollo of Soul Society. Leaving aside their technical abilities, the two can be said to be equally matched in terms of "perversion".

Tiruti, who had always been at odds with Sal Apollo, suddenly became nervous. At the same time... she also saw that in addition to the black-and-white-faced Grim Reaper, there was also an expressionless Grim Reaper girl wearing a short skirt, and... Lin!

"Ah my? Commander-in-Chief Shifeng, you don't know this Arrancar lady, do you?" Kurotsuchi Mayuri said immediately and sharply.

Tiruti immediately turned her head away nervously...

Yilong: ...

In this regard, the Arrancars really have no experience.

"Yes, I interrogated her for Commander-in-Chief Kyoraku before." Ichiryu said calmly, and then he specially passed on his experience: "For Arrancar, the mask on their head is their weakness. If it is damaged, it will be permanently degraded. Before, after I broke a crack there, she revealed the news about Aizen."

"It's an interesting clue. I'll study it carefully." Kurotsuchi Mayuri responded as if he believed it.

Tiruti was already a little panicked - as expected, this guy with the same perverted aura as Sal Apollo was not an accomplice of "Lin", and it seemed that they were not even on good terms. It seemed that he could not be expected to let him go, so...

If he is really being used as an experimental subject, is it too late to betray "Lin"?

Although Tiruti had never seen Asar Apollo's experiment, he knew it was horrible. Among the Hollows who were used as experimental subjects, no one survived except his subordinate Luo Jia, and...

Some even became things like chimeras!

“But the [Royal Seal] and the like are really troublesome. If it’s affected, it would be bad if this guy is teleported back to Hueco Mundo… Commander-in-Chief Shihouin, remember to stay away when you fight.” Kurotsuchi Mayuri said meaningfully.

Yilong's expression slightly changed when he heard this: "It can't be such a coincidence, right?"

In fact, it is possible!

Just like thirty years ago, [King's Seal] was effective on two targets at close range, but why did it also work on the grass crown dozens of miles away?

Because the triggering criteria of [Royal Seal]...

It's the will!

Similar to [Broken Jade], the working principle of [King's Seal] is also "satisfying the will".

So the two guards who least wanted to stay there and were already bored were teleported to the entertainment district of Runlin'an, and Caoguan, whose life was hanging by a thread and whose desire to survive was bursting, was also teleported to a safe place and recovered from his injuries.

The reason why it can be effective at such a long distance is because his will is much stronger than those two guys who want to slack off. At the same time, there may be other death gods whose lives are hanging by a thread, but the distance is not as close as dozens of soul miles.

In other words, if the battle is taking place near the "Technology Development Bureau" and Tiruti strongly wants to leave, it is entirely possible that the effect of [Royal Seal] will be triggered!

Or rather...

As long as the [Royal Seal] is attracted nearby, Kurotsuchi Mayuri will naturally find a way to attribute Tiruti's "disappearance" to the effect of the [Royal Seal]!

"Who knows? But in the Technology Development Bureau, there is a device that can detect the fluctuations of the [King's Seal]. If it is the fault of the [King's Seal], no one can blame me for it." Kurotsuchi Mayuri said as a matter of course in the face of Ichiryu's questioning.

As for why Mayuri Kurotsuchi would take the initiative to do such a thing?

Without a doubt, Yilong understood that when Tiruti was released, she would be transplanted with "surveillance bacteria" that she herself did not know about, so that when she was active in Hueco Mundo, Kurotsuchi Mayuri could collect information from Aizen.

"That's right. I hope Commander-in-Chief Kyoraku and his men can be more careful when they capture Kusanagi." Yilong responded at this time.
