Death God: Sunny and Cheerful Boy

Because this is equivalent to directly searching for information about the "Spirit King", Yilong was also attacked by the "Great Spirit Book Corridor", and his spirit body was alienated and expanded to the point that it even broke through the Death Tyrant Suit...

(Refer to Ichigo's reaction when he walked into [No Sando]. It's not me who defeated him, it's the original work that defeated him.)

However, even in this situation, Yilong was not without the power to resist. At the critical moment, he twisted himself into Qizi's body and interrupted the backlash. After doing all this, Yilong lost consciousness - so Nayura could see his "full body"!

Nayora: ...

Although there was some impact, but... the reaction of the "awakening rope" before, and the "healing wounds" all over Yilong's body, all showed that the situation was very urgent.

Nayura couldn't complain and could only take Yilong back by herself - because she couldn't explain to anyone why Yilong was here, and... the "Death Suit" was missing, so Nayura had to carry it by herself.

Before, Ichiryu had complained that the Tsunayashiro family seemed to have means to weaken the backlash, but in fact...Ichiryu's way of fighting against "backlash" was already much more sophisticated than that of ordinary Shinigami.

This is not a matter of spiritual pressure. Even if it is old man Yamamoto, if this situation is triggered, he would not be able to be more relaxed than Yilong now.

Nayura didn't need to worry about how to deal with the situation of "the captain of the 9th squad is missing". Before dawn, Yilong woke up naturally.

When Yilong found himself lying on the bed, he looked a little confused at first, but he immediately realized what happened before he fell into a coma!

At this time, there were only Nayura and Yilong in the room, and of course this was also Nayura's room.

In order to avoid being discovered by others, Nayora also took a lot of effort...

Nayula saw Yilong wake up and was about to get up, so she quickly said, "Wait, you put on your clothes first..."

However, she did not need to be reminded. When Yilong's body emerged from the quilt, he was already wearing the "Death Suit" - he had transformed from a Qizi body back to a Lingzi body.

Apart from being a little weak, he looked fine. Nayora heaved a sigh of relief, but she still kept a straight face and said, "Remember what you promised me before?"

"Something unexpected happened." Yilong felt a little embarrassed when he heard this.

"What did you see?" Nayula asked curiously - she also knew that Yilong had a strong "resistance" to the backlash of the "Great Spirit Book Corridor".

All in all, this was the third time that Nayura brought Yilong in, and this was also the time when he was most seriously injured!

"The Soul Hunter's experiment failed, and there seems to be some hidden story. Well... I will handle the specific matters. If there is any situation, I will inform you again." Yilong's answer was reserved.

If it were someone else, even if they used the same method as Yilong, this "crime" would probably be in vain. At most, they would be suspicious and wonder if there was any hidden room in Soul Society.

But Yilong is different...

In the shadow of Soul Society, in the space that was exploded by the [Purification Chapter], Yilong was not completely sure about the specific situation, but he already understood what the image he saw was pointing to - Yhwach!

For thousands of years, there have only been two "people" who have truly put pressure on the nobles of Seireitei and triggered a major event that could be called a battle for survival...

One was "Yijijiba" who defeated Yamamoto Shigekuni, who was already famous although still young, and rushed to the Palace of the Soul King. He wanted to devour the Soul King, but was defeated by the monk with his real name Hu Heshang and Sword God Wang Yue. The other one was naturally "Yihabach" who led the Quincy to fight against the God of Death a thousand years ago!

Among them, the nobles of Seireitei left a greater impression on the latter...

After all, "Yi Ji Si Ji Ba" only "almost" devoured the Spirit King.

In fact, he did not cause large-scale destruction in the Soul Society. After defeating Yamamoto Shigekuni who tried to stop him and swallowing some Shinigami whole, he rushed to the Soul King Palace... and died.

Even its own name has been erased by its real name Hu Heshang, leaving only the sealed name "Yi Ji Si Ji Ba".

As long as the true name is not released, even if it breaks out of the seal, the power it can exert will be very limited.

In contrast, when fighting against Yhwach a thousand years ago, the Zero Squad was unable to take action due to some reasons...

The Quincies were strong and fought the Soul Reapers of the Soul Society for many years. In the end, the nobles even had to win over the civilian Soul Reapers and paid a huge sacrifice before they won the victory with great difficulty.

The "Soul Hunting" experiment was also launched for this reason.

Yilong was very sure that the feeling was that of Yhwach. After all... Yilong had worked with him before!

At that time, Yilong was still the Star Sky Emperor...

That’s right, it was the Star Sky Emperor who controlled the Soul Hunters and united the Quincies, and almost accomplished a feat that no emperor in the world, past or present, could match!

After Yhwach was severely injured and disappeared, and the Quincy that attacked Soul Society was defeated, the modern Star Dynasty also fell into collapse.

The various lords who supported Seireitei behind the scenes branded him a "tyrant who never listened to the suffering of his subjects" and executed him by pouring mercury water into his ears...

Emperor Xingtian, who had long been aware of the "power of virtualization", successfully became virtual after his death.

Although Emperor Xingtian was filled with resentment when he died—it was obvious that these rebels were the real "minority", but they accused him of such a crime and executed him in such a humiliating and vicious way, and the people of the world who should have benefited from his deeds also quickly accepted this statement, and even foolishly celebrated the new dynasty...

However, he also understood that devouring those rebellious princes would only be a meaningless way to vent his anger. In addition, the God of Death was also present at the time. So after completing his Hollowification in secret, he directly escaped into the Hueco Mundo.

At that time, there were countless deaths due to the continuous wars, and it was easy for him to become Killian or even Achukas, and then "arrancar himself" and walk in Hueco Mundo under the name Lin...

Yilong did not have too much resentment about "that" death itself. After all, success or failure makes you a king, and you can just let it go. However, he was still bothered by his "crime", so... after breaking his mask, his hollow moved to his ear.

Based on this identity alone, Yhwach is an ally to Yilong.

only……

Times have changed, Yilong's position is no longer the same as before!

Although Yilong had seen the vague future of Yhwach's comeback, he didn't expect to be involved so early, and he didn't expect that he was in the shadow of Soul Society. After knowing it was Yhwach, following the "Quincy's ability", Yilong also deduced the principle of hiding "in the dark under the lamp".

Calculate the time of the "Soul Hunter Explosion"...

Yilong understood that Yhwach had sent people to make arrangements in "Seireitei" before being defeated - indeed according to the war situation at the time, because the front line was not here, Seireitei, the "nest of the god of death", was actually very empty.

Perhaps because of his suspicious nature, Ichiryu left the Amanmon family before dawn and walked in the Soul Society. He always felt that every shadow was so suspicious!

If Yilong had a choice, he would actually want to push his former ally back...

However, he remained calm on the surface, because Yilong knew that Youhabach, who had regained consciousness, should have noticed his peeping.

Without knowing the progress of Yhwach's recovery, Yilong may still need to rely on his identity as a "former ally" and does not want to turn against him immediately.

How to deal with it specifically still needs to be "tested" by Yilong...

Yilong thinks that if any Quincy comes looking for him in the near future, he should pretend to be an ally, or even a subordinate, and act accordingly. If Yhwach does not react... that means that although he has awakened, he is still very lacking in strength. Then Yilong can become more aggressive and see if he can make Aizen or Yamamoto and him suffer mutual losses!

"Soul Hunter..." Yilong muttered to himself - one more reason for Soul Hunter to come to Soul Society!

At the same time, Yilong also heard footsteps coming from behind...

However, it wasn’t a Quincy, but… the petite Rurichiyo!

133. Chapter 133 The Real Murderer

133.

2023-09-11

"Aha! You are here after all... Did you go to Awanmon's house?" Ruri Chiyo looked as if she had seen through Yilong.

Ruri Chiyo went to the 9th squad's barracks to look for Ichiryu, but found that he was not there and his vice-captain didn't know where he had gone. She instinctively guessed that he was looking for Nayura, so she came to the vicinity of the Amanmon tribe...

Of course, her two guards were also secretly protecting her at this time.

"No, I'm just monitoring the patrol team's patrol situation." Yilong said seriously.

Compared to Nayura, Rurichiyo is more innocent and has no great ideals, which makes her more obedient, but may also do bad things unintentionally, so Yilong did not tell her too much.

"Patrol team? Really?" Liuli Chiyo looked at Yilong with a disbelieving look, and then said: "Forget it, but now you have the time to monitor the patrol team, why don't you monitor your own monitoring team!"

Liuli Chiyo seemed very dissatisfied.

On the one hand, it was because Ise Shinkuro had previously captured the people of the Kasumigaoji family; on the other hand, after Yilong came back, he did not even go to help her...

If it was only the former, Ruri Chiyo would have convinced herself that Yilong should have a plan and she could wait patiently - after all, the ones who were caught were the "killers" left by Yun Jing, and Ruri Chiyo didn't think much of them.

But Yilong actually didn't care and didn't come to look for me...

If she hadn't been on "duty" in Room 46, Ruri Chiyo would have come over long ago.

Previously, Ise Shinkuro investigated the case of "the lackey who harassed the Kyoraku family's gambling house was killed" and determined that the murderer used the "Takashiro Sword" of the Kasumigaoji family. He then arrested four retainers of the Kasumigaoji family who had the "Takashiro Sword" and were in the nearby neighborhood at the time.

Although they were indeed killers before and had once been loyal to Yun Jing, since they had already pledged allegiance to Kasumi Avenue and to herself, no matter how sincere they were, after they were caught, Ruri Chiyo still felt like she had been slapped in the face - a very aristocratic thought.

"Kan'i Hanzo and the others... Well, it's time for Vice Captain Ise to give an explanation." Yilong said, giving instructions to Ruri Chiyo in person.

Then, when it was daybreak, Ruri Chiyo followed what Yilong said and directly brought her retainers and armed nobles to surround the supervisory troops!

The Kasumigaoji family is originally a high-ranking noble family, and now Ruri Chiyo is also a judge. Naturally, their every move in the Soul Society attracts a lot of attention, especially such an explosive thing as blocking the barracks of the inspection force.

When they heard that the Supervisory Corps' barracks were surrounded, everyone's first reaction was "Who is so bold?", but when they learned that it was Ruri Chiyo, most of them immediately reacted...

It seems that it is not someone else who wants to make trouble for the Supervisory Force, but Shifengyuan Ichiryu who wants to take action against the "nail" planted in the Supervisory Force!

Sure enough, when the captain of the supervisory force, Shifengyuan Ichiryu, arrived late, the two sides were already in a standoff - Ichiryu had been transferred away for more than half a month, which was considered to have bought a "newbie protection period" for Ise Shinkuro, so that someone was available.

Yilong took a quick look at the people in the Supervision Team's quarters...

Sure enough, they are all unfamiliar faces!

"Stop it." After Yilong arrived, he raised his hand lazily.

Seeing this, Ruri Chiyo waved her hands to her retainers, who put away their swords one after another. However, the soldiers of the Supervisory Force actually hesitated for a moment...

However, when Yilong glanced over, these soldiers who were stationed in were still frightened by the name of Shifengyuan Yilong and put away their swords.

Ise Shinkuro, who was originally confronting Ruri Chiyo, asked Ichiryu in a teasing manner: "Captain, the Kasumigaoji family brazenly besieged the inspection team, this..."

"In my inspection force, the most important thing is fairness. As long as you behave properly, we don't have to be afraid of anyone... Deputy Captain Ise, how is the case of the gambling house going?" Yilong said righteously.

Ise hesitated for a moment, then said solemnly: "I have arrested the murderer!"

"So, it has been confirmed that they are several retainers of the Kasumigaoji family?"

I saw a figure in a flowery robe walking towards me from the crowd.

At the same time, because of the confrontation in the inner court, Komamura from the inner court team has arrived. This time, Hitsugaya from the patrol guard team is also there, and he puts his arms in front of his chest, acting like an adult.

Seeing that several captains who were related in terms of responsibilities were all there, Ise Shinkuro held his head high and said, "Not bad!"

"Master Kasumigaoji, you don't have any relationship with the Kyōraku family, right?" Kyōraku Shunsui mentioned the Kyōraku family as if he was talking about any other family.

The murderer's crime was "killing someone who went to the gambling house to cause trouble", which was naturally an act of getting close to the Kyoraku family.

"Huh? What Kyoraku family?" Although Ruri Chiyo was small in stature, she looked arrogant, as if to say, "I don't take you seriously at all."

However, Kyoraku Shunsui did not seem angry - what does the Kyoraku family have to do with me?

"Captain Kyoraku, you don't know, these four guys are originally bandits from Rukongai, recruited by the former steward of the Kasumigaoji family, Kumoi. I think they are wild and hard to tame. They are not trying to get close to anyone, they are just ferocious and want to vent their anger." Ise Shinkuro explained to prevent Kyoraku Shunsui from pleading for mercy later.

"Is this your conclusion?" Yilong confirmed with him again.

"Good!" Ise Shinkuro looked very confident.

"Have they confessed?" Yilong asked further.

"The criminal is very tight-lipped." Ise Shinkuro answered without any guilt.

Yilong didn't care and continued to ask: "Then is there any concrete evidence?"

"We've found their tapir swords! They match the weapons the witnesses saw during the crime!" Ise Shinkuro was tickled.

"But from the eyewitness testimony, I remember there was only one murderer. Which one of the four of them was it? Have you been able to identify him?" Yilong asked specifically.

"This... they are very uncooperative, but even so, I have found evidence. The person who did it should be... Kan'i Hanza!" Although Ise Shinkuro did not seem to feel guilty at this time, he was a little reserved.

The person being identified was the leader of the four.

At this time, Kyoraku raised his eyelids, looked at him, curled the corners of his mouth, and then pulled down his hat, as if he already knew the "ending" of this farce!

"Why do you think so?" Yilong kept asking about the evidence.

"Although the criminals protected each other, I... still compared the wounds, confessions, and Kan'ai Hanzo's tapir sword, and the evidence is solid." Ise Shinkuro said with certainty.

"Confession?" Yilong smiled slightly when he heard that.

"Yes, it was a customer in the gambling house at that time..." Ise Shinkuro was well prepared and asked someone to bring the witness over.

The other party cowered and proved that Kan'ai Hanzo's [Takuya Sword] was the one he saw the murderer holding - when the [Takuya Sword] is used, it will parasitize on the owner, and the form is different. The threshold for use is higher than that of the [Zanpakuto], and it is more dangerous.

Komamura and Hitsugaya both noticed something was wrong and suspected that Ise Shinkuro had colluded to force a confession, but...

In their view, the current conflict among the nobles is just one of internal strife, and as long as it does not disrupt the peace of Seireitei and can be resolved on its own, they are too lazy to interfere.

"Guan Jing Banzuo's [Mo Yao Knife], I remember there was a round mirror on the blade guard, right? Didn't you say before that what you saw was an eyeball?" Yilong asked the witness in confusion.

Without waiting for the witness to say anything, Yilong looked at Ise Shinkuro in a daze and said, "Vice Captain Ise, although we had an agreement before that you should solve the case as soon as possible, but... even if you can't solve it, I won't do anything to you, so please don't collude with others or frame me."

Being told this by Yilong in public, Ise Shinkuro pretended to be angry, then said with a straight face: "Don't worry, Captain Shifengyuan! Since I said it, I will definitely do it... This is the result of my detailed investigation. It's not surprising that he made a mistake in panic. If Captain Shifengyuan feels there is a problem, why not..."

Ise wasn't worried at all that anything could go wrong.

Firstly, he was certain that the murderer must be one of the four people including Guan Jing Han Zuo, and it was almost certain; secondly, the witness had been clearly confessed before, and he would never dare to turn against him...
