Death God: Sunny and Cheerful Boy

"Oh? Vice Captain Shifengyuan's taste has changed a lot recently. I thought you were not interested in anyone over 1.5 meters tall." Ichimaru Gin was still fearless.

Well, if Soi-Fong heard this, she would be dead. Besides, the Amanmon and Kasumigaru families would be his mortal enemies from now on!

"Hahaha, my hobbies have always been very broad. For example... I found some interesting information in the Great Spirit Book Corridor before. Some spirits that have the potential to become elite death gods can no longer become death gods if part of their souls are taken away, unless... they are those guys who are born with the power of the Spirit King. Tsk tsk tsk..." Yilong suddenly said something that sounded meaningless at first. (Note 1)

However, upon hearing this, Ichimaru Gin restrained his smile and slightly opened his eyes: "Then... I'll leave it to Vice Captain Shifengyuan!"

Ichimaru Gin said the same thing again, but this time his tone was completely different.

after all……

If Yilong was just using "Rangiku" to threaten him, Ichimaru Gin would not be worried. After all, they were in a cooperative relationship, and he believed that Yilong would not dare to do anything.

However, now, Yilong is clearly hinting to Gin Ichimaru that he already knows... or at least suspects that "you have the motive to hate Aizen"!

Now Ichimaru Gin couldn't sit still anymore.

"No, no, Captain Ichimaru is too polite. I also have something to ask Captain Ichimaru. Of course, it's just a piece of cake for Captain Ichimaru..."

In the battle between fake smiles, Yilong won - his fake smile lasted until the end!

After hearing what Ichiryu said, Ichimaru Gin nodded slightly and continued to leave...

Behind Ichimaru Gin, that is, in front of the East Barrier, it was really lively at this time. For "some reason", the two vice-captains, Hinamori Momo from the Fifth Division, and Kira Izuru from the Third Division, were actually fighting!

It’s just that Ichimaru Gin and Ichiryu acted as if they didn’t see it before…

----

Note 1: According to the supplementary setting of the official novel, the "important thing of Rangiku" that Aizen (ordered his subordinates) took away was part of her soul.

In order to complete the [Hougyoku], Aizen seized the power of a large number of potential souls, and Rangiku was just one of them. However, after Rangiku's soul fragment entered, the [Hougyoku] progress bar skyrocketed. Later, Aizen deduced that the owner of that soul had the "Finger of the Soul King".

In other words, Rangiku was not the specific target, he was just confused, so Aizen did not recognize Rangiku afterwards.

Chapter 33: Anti-ghost killing

Captain Aizen died tragically and was nailed in front of the corpse of the East Barrier, and the two vice-captains had a fierce internal fight!

The cause was very simple. Although Yilong had just arrived, he could guess that Ichimaru Gin must have said something sarcastic just now, which annoyed Hinamori Momo, who was already out of control.

However, as the vice-captain of Ichimaru Gin, Kira Izuru has no choice but to take action to fight back, either out of trust in his captain or out of consideration for stopping Hinamori Momo before the situation gets out of control!

Hinamori Momo attacked in anger at this time, and showed no mercy even when her good friend Kira tried to stop her.

even……

"Bloom! Feimei!"

"Look up! Wabisuke!"

It seems that the two of them have already "released"!

Fortunately, when the two were about to fight head-on, Hitsugaya Toshiro suddenly appeared between them. No matter whether it was Kira's [Wabusuke] or Hinamori's [Tobiume], even the "Shikai", they were easily blocked by Hitsugaya.

Seeing this, the other vice-captains breathed a sigh of relief and hurried forward to pull the two apart. At this time, Vice-Captain Shifengyuan had already approached, and Ichimaru Gin had already walked away...

"Really... Mr. Yamamoto is going to cry, right? What did he say in the meeting yesterday?" Yilong's words were full of sarcasm as soon as he opened his mouth.

Ichiryu first looked at Hinamori and Kira: "It seems that the old man not only wants to execute two vice-captains..." Then he looked at Aizen who died particularly miserably and said: "And at least one more captain must be executed."

It seems to have been confirmed that this is also the result of "fratricide" by Aizen.

After hearing these sarcastic words, Hinamori, who was originally stopped by Toshiro, looked at Ichiryu who was walking from the side...especially at his white hair!

"So... it was actually you?" Hinamori said, and directly released the [Flying Plum] that was stepped on by Hitsugaya, opened her palm and said to Ichiryu: "Hado Thirty-one: Red Fire Cannon!"

Well, this seems to be the most favorite instant-cast [Hadō] by the Shinigami at the level of chief officers and vice-captains.

Because of the "Chant Break", the spirit particle instantly formed a fire-type energy ball in Hinamori's palm, and then shot towards Ichiryu - Hinamori was originally good at long-range fire attacks, so the "Shikai" of her Zanpakutō was the long-range fire attack [Tobimei].

Yilong was hit directly!

but……

But silently!

When the fire bomb approached Yilong, Yilong raised his hand and seemed to use his palm to block the [Thirty-one Red Fire Cannon] directly.

But in reality, the fire bomb formed by the "Red Fire Cannon" was extinguished and disappeared directly in front of Yilong's palm...

Is this... a failure in using the ghost technique?

No - Hitsugaya Toshiro's expression froze, and he looked at Yilong more cautiously.

At the same time, Yilong shouted angrily to Dongshilang next to Hinamori, including the other three vice-captains who were "watching the fun": "The vice-captain doesn't need to block it, right?"

Hearing the roar of Vice Captain Shifengyuan, Toushirou also burst out his spiritual pressure and completely suppressed Kira and Hinamori, and shouted at the same time: "Is this the time to chop each other with swords? Take them both to jail!"

Rangiku and Sheba immediately took down Hinamori, who was suppressed by spiritual pressure, and Hisagi Shuhei immediately pulled away Kira, who also did not resist.

It wasn't that Dong Shilang was careless just now...

But just now, Dong Shilang saw Ichimaru Gin, who had already walked far away, turned his head and looked back!

Toshiro knew about Ichimaru Gin's Shikai and even had a rough idea of ​​his Bankai ability. At this moment, he felt the murderous aura locked on Hinamori, so he was naturally fully alert to Ichimaru Gin in the distance, which gave Hinamori the opportunity to suddenly attack Ichiryu.

"It's really outrageous! I suggest you take him directly in front of Mr. Yamamoto!" Yilong said with a vengeful look.

Not only was he holding a grudge, he was also holding a grudge... Yesterday, when the old man said, "There is no need for a trial in Room 46, I will personally enforce the team rules," he looked at himself - old man, aren't you going to enforce the team rules? I'll watch you, you hurry up!

"Deputy Captain Shifengyuan, the most important thing now is to investigate the cause of Captain Aizen's death, right?" Toushirou said, staring at Yilong.

Obviously in his eyes, Yilong was not free from suspicion!

If it were before today, Toshiro would not have thought that Ichiryu could kill Aizen - even for me, it would be difficult to kill Captain Aizen, right?

But just after seeing Yilong's "counter-ghost killing" move, Dong Shilang suddenly realized that he had greatly underestimated Yilong before, at least in terms of "ghost" ability.

What's more...

It may not be done by one person alone, maybe Yilong and Ichimaru Gin are working together?

At the same time… Dong Shilang didn’t want to give Yilong the opportunity to “escalate the situation”, so he immediately added: “Of course, I will report the matter here to the captain immediately, and I will leave the on-site investigation to Vice Captain Shifengyuan. Is that okay?”

At this moment, Yilong looked aside and said, "Investigating corpses and the like...someone who is more skilled than me is here."

In the direction that Yilong was looking at, Unohana Retsu and Kotetsu Yuune from the 4th Division were rushing over...

Dong Shilang saw this and did not refute. He just paused as he passed by Yilong and said, "Speaking of which... Vice Captain Shifengyuan took Hinamori's Red Fire Cannon very easily, didn't he?"

"Hahaha, she's just a little girl, and she's the 31st broken path of 'Chanting Destruction'."

Faced with Dong Shilang's questioning, Yilong shook his head, as if he didn't care.

"No, I've been hit by Hinamori's Red Fire Cannon many times..." Hitsugaya said seriously.

That's right, because he often feeds on others, Toushirou knows it very well. Given Shihouin Ichiryu's usual performance, it's not surprising that he would dodge or block it.

But the "anti-ghost killing each other" thing is too exaggerated...

Moreover, Dong Shilang understood that Yilong just wanted to show off his skills.

Before, I thought that this person's "cutting fists and walking ghosts" were very average, could it be... that he is actually very good at "ghost ways"?

"Oh? Are you showing me that you two have a good relationship?" Yilong asked back as if he didn't understand.

"Nothing." Dong Shilang stopped asking questions and said something without starting or ending: "Thank you, Vice Captain Shifengyuan, for not choosing to dodge just now."

"Eh? What is Captain Hitsugaya talking about?"

Dong Shilang ignored Shifengyuan's pretense of stupidity and left directly in the direction of the First Team...

Toshiro suspected that it was because Shifengyuan Ichiryuu blocked the attack motionlessly that Ichimaru Gin gave up the opportunity to attack Hinamori Momo!

Otherwise, if Ichiryu dodges, the "Red Fire Cannon" will miss and hit Ichimaru Gin...

When Hinamori used the Hadō attack on Ichimaru Gin, it was not without reasons that he could have killed her with his Bankai!

It is true that just now Ichimaru Gin, Shifengyuan Ichiryu and Hinamori Momo were almost in a straight line, and Ichimaru Gin exuded murderous intent in this direction in an instant...

However, Yilong didn't seem to understand. After Dong Shilang left, he came to Unohana Retsu and said flatteringly: "A brat is a brat, he doesn't know manners... He calls himself a genius? He left without even saying hello to Sister Hua..."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 34 Let It Go

Facing Ichiryu's act of slandering Captain Hitsugaya behind his back, Unohana smiled and said, "First of all, just call me Captain Unohana. Secondly, you should let it go now, right?"

"Actually, I've let it go..." Yilong said with emotion as he looked into the distance upon hearing this.

"I'm talking about Captain Aizen's body." Unohana restrained her smile a little.

Seeing this, Yilong immediately called out, "Quick! Come on, put Captain Aizen down!"

"Huh? I thought that Vice-Captain Shifeng would want to enjoy the sound and feel of the blade rubbing against bones when he pulls his Zanpakuto out of Captain Aizen's chest." Unohana said in surprise.

The voice and tone were as gentle and peaceful as always, but... the words that came out were a little creepy!

Yuin shuddered upon hearing this. Although he could tell that the captain was mocking and even suspecting Shihouin Ichiryu, and that he did have the motive to be hostile to and murder Aizen, but... the explicit description at the end still made people feel cold. It was somewhat unlike the usual Captain Unohana to say this. It seemed like... his true nature was revealed.

"Oh, it's true that I really want to let Captain Aizen go immediately. After all, in my heart, Captain Aizen is my second most admired captain after Sister Hua. But... I really can't bear to see Captain Aizen's current miserable state!" Yilong said, his face full of regret.

Yongyin felt that this guy was extremely suspicious...

Who doesn't know that Vice Captain Shifengyuan and Captain Ichimaru dislike the gentle and righteous Captain Aizen the most?

Of course, considering the strength... Captain Ichimaru is definitely more suspicious!

wrong!

There is a high possibility that the two of them worked together to commit the crime!

However, we cannot just consider the "internal criminal" case now. It could also be a travel disaster or a Shinigami outside of the Thirteenth Squadron...

"Just call me Captain Unohana." Unohana reminded Yilong again and again without getting tired of it.

"Captain Unohana, I will continue to search for the travel disaster. As for Captain Aizen, I will have to... Captain Unohana, thank you for your trouble. If you discover the identity of the murderer, please tell me as soon as possible so that I can avenge Captain Aizen!" Yilong said seriously.

And as soon as he sensed Unohana's impatience, he immediately changed his words!

Yongyin pouted beside him...

Yuyin had long been accustomed to the attentiveness of Shifengyuan Ichiryu towards his captain.

In theory, the captain's "former identity" is not a secret, although most of the new Death Gods don't know it, and the few captains and vice-captains who know it are also tight-lipped to others, but it is not a secret. At the vice-captain level, if anyone wants to know, they can find out.

But no one else is as...diligent as Shifengyuan!

Yongyin remembered that there was a period of time when this guy was often injured. After that, he came to the 4th Squad’s barracks and tried to get close to his captain. Later...

When did it start?

Oh, by the way, one time when his injury was not healed yet, he somehow offended the captain and was thrown out...

At this time, Yilong turned around and left without waiting for "Aizen" to be put down, looking like he was busy with official business.

……

At the same time, the "travel troublemakers" who had rested for a night, were unaware of the sudden "pot" that had fallen from the sky, and began to act again.

Although the locations are different, their destination is obviously... the Palace of Confession!

The Palace of Confession is a tall white tower. It is very conspicuous in the Soul Society where the buildings are generally not tall, and there is no need to find the way.

The one who was the worst at hiding his spiritual pressure among the travelers was a Fullbringer named Yasutora Chatari!

At least Ichigo doesn't let his spiritual pressure surge when there's no fighting. When he encounters some random soldiers, he usually just runs away.

But Chad is different... He is not good at running away!

In addition, he was not good at controlling spiritual pressure, so although he was able to hold back and not harm the lives of these Death God soldiers, he was completely unable to hide himself.

The result is……

Not long after, he was discovered by Kyoraku Shunsui!

Kyoraku, the captain of the 8th Division, or the intelligence division, is undoubtedly a lazy guy in normal times, and all team affairs are handled by his niece Ise Nanao.
