Death God: Sunny and Cheerful Boy

"That's right, Captain-General Kyoraku seems to... want to avoid us." said Ohuo Tiger - "we" naturally refers to Ichiryu's confidants who stayed in the prison team.

However, Weihuohu and his men are not idle either. They have already infiltrated the prison team. Even if the news does not come directly through them, they can still get it from other officers!

It's not that Kyoraku must rely on the prison team, but...

Kyoraku cannot use the other two more secure prisons - the Maggot Nest is guarded by the Secret Mobile Force, and it will be even more defenseless for Shifengyuan if it is placed there, and the Mujian is located in the basement of the General Division, which is now the Marshal's Headquarters, and it must be opened with the warrant of Room 46!

"Who is being detained?" Yilong asked.

"It's the legendary [Arrancar]! It looks like a human, but there is an incomplete Hollow Mask on its head, and there is also a Hollow on its head..." Weihuohu said hurriedly.

Before this, Seireitei had never had direct contact with the Arrancars, but had only "heard of them" and therefore suspected Ichiryū.

Ichiryu nodded at this time, realizing that Kyōraku had been evading the main point before - he did not explain in detail the appearance of the [Arrancar], but only said that "it broke the boundary between Hollows and Shinigami". It seemed that Kuchiki and Soi-Fong, who did not know about this before, could not imagine the appearance of the [Arrancar] from his words, and might have imagined just a "Hollow" with a part of its mask broken.

"What does it look like." Yilong obviously didn't just want to ask about the [Arrancar], but wanted to know if it was the [Arrancar] he knew.

However, Ichiryuu was not worried. It was the Arrancars that he was most familiar with. If it were them, even if they were ambushed by the Masks, they would not be unable to escape using the Black Chamber. And...

If it were them, even if the battle took place in a remote place in Soul Society, once their spiritual pressure was fully unleashed, Ichiryu should be able to sense it.

"She looks like a short woman. Although she was in a dishevel, you can see that her hair is purple. When she was first brought in, she was still seriously injured, with remnants of moth-shaped hollows on her body. Later, as she healed quickly, the characteristics of the hollow disappeared, and she returned to human form. She is currently sealed in prison." Weihuohu recalled and described in detail.

"Not tall...purple hair...moth? Is the mask fragment on the left forehead? It looks like a cocoon with thorns, and the hole is in the middle of the mask fragment?" Yilong thought about it and confirmed.

"That's right, Captain, that's a good idea!" Weihuohu immediately started to flatter him.

"Let's go back to the prison team." Yilong said directly, as if he was going back to his own home.

Wei Huohu was a little hesitant after hearing this: "Master Yilong, what if we are discovered by Captain Kyoraku and the others..."

"It doesn't matter. Since they are [Arrancar] from Hueco Mundo, it cannot be said that they have nothing to do with the [Expeditionary Force] in charge of foreign wars! It is normal for me to interrogate them." Yilong said openly.

Although they are no longer a department, but... when Komamura was injured, no one in the entire prison team would try to stop Shihouin. Instead, they were very cooperative in all aspects - even if the vice-captain Hisagi was here, at most he would just ask a few questions with a little uneasiness, and now the vice-captain is not here!

Soon, Yilong found a female Arrancar, Tiruti Sandavichi, who was completely sealed in a cross restraint tool in a sealed prison!

Yilong knew her...because she was originally a member of the Ten Blades!

However, Yilong was not sure what her number was now. After Nelue and the others were brought into the group by Yilong and Stark was also called in, she was squeezed out of the "Ten Espada". According to Aizen's numbering logic, her number should be in the three digits now.

Yilong returned to the prison team as if he was returning to his own dormitory, and arrived at the prison without any hindrance.

Looking at the female Arrancar sealed on the cross, Ichiryu also recognized her identity...

Tiruti was one of the earliest Arrancars. Because he was an Achukas, when he was infused with the power of the god of death by the Hogyoku and became an Arrancar, he was listed as one of the "Ten Espada" by Aizen.

However, because Aizen soon found a "partner" and found a lot of truly powerful [Arrancar] for him, Tiruti was squeezed out of the [Espada] and became a "three-digit number" - only the [Arrancar] who had served as [Espada] and were later squeezed out would have a "three-digit" number.

Tiruti's number is 105...that means he is the fifth of the top ten blades to be squeezed out!

There shouldn't be many Arrancars entering the Soul Society. After all, Aizen doesn't want to start a war right now...

Among them was Tiruti. Ichiryu estimated that there might not be any "Espada" among the "Arrancar" that were dispatched, or there might be only one "Espada" as the leader.

visible……

Aizen did not regard the [King's Seal] as a necessity, but more like "try it if you can"!

Tiruti was wrapped in white bandages at this time, not to stop bleeding, but to bind her to the cross sealing prop, with only her neck exposed.

He had his head down, as if he was still weak due to the inability to absorb spiritual particles. He raised his head only when he heard the sound of the door opening.

“You…” When Tiruti saw Yilong, he was startled at first, and then seemed to recognize him.

A mere "former Ten Espada", he was a marginal figure in the Karate Palace. Of course, he had no idea that "Lin" had been in Soul Society for the past hundred years.

but……

Ichiryū's current appearance is similar to that of "Lin", the Arrancar mentor in Hueco Mundo. His facial features have not changed much, except for his skin color. His "mask" and "Hollow Hollow" are disguised, and his temperament is quite different.

Tiruti also knew "Lin"...

Tiruti, who was still a "moth" back then, also came to Yilong to listen to his lessons and left a deep impression on Yilong.

On the one hand, it was because she herself was a rare "Achukas" - although not as rare as "Vastold", she was much rarer than the ordinary Hollows that were as numerous as dust in the sky. It was also the threshold that Yilong really cared about and whether she could "break her mask on her own". As for ordinary Hollows, Yilong had no hope at all.

As for "Killian"...

Their consciousness is confused, not even as good as ordinary Hollows, let alone "self-Hollowing", it is difficult to catalyze it artificially with [Hougyoku]. Their number is even less than that of Yajukas' [Hollowing]. Therefore, in the Karate Palace, there is a gap in the strength of [Hollowing]."

On the other hand, Tiruti was one of the Hollows who was most enthusiastic about "self-made Arrancar" among the "Achukas" at the time. He had a "twisted" ambition and often pestered "Lin", even making Nel feel that this guy was too enthusiastic.

Perhaps it was because she was too eager that she was unable to "tame the beast outside" at all. After the news that Aizen used the [Hogyoku] to facilitate the birth of the [Arrancar] came, Tiruti was also the first to leave...

When Tiruti saw Yilong at this time, he suddenly realized that the god of death in front of him must be related to "Lin"!

But just as she opened her mouth, Yilong walked up to her and pinched her small chin as if he was pinching a handful of plasticine. The lower half of her face was instantly distorted, and the sound of bones rubbing against each other could be heard. It seemed that if he used a little more force, it would break.

Then Yilong seemed to have seen something interesting, twisting his body left and right to observe...

"It is indeed the breath of a Hollow, and it is the breath of Achukas, but it looks like a human... Interesting, so this is the [Arrancar]... It is broken so thoroughly!" Yilong said in amazement, as if he had seen it for the first time.

Tiruti was unable to speak at this time, and at the same time... seeing Yilong's cold eyes, she shuddered in her heart and immediately understood what the other party meant.

"Did Aizen send you here? What is his purpose?" Yilong asked coldly, and also loosened Tiruti's chin.

Although his mouth was slightly twisted due to the injury, Tiruti still said with a click: "I don't know!"

Yilong then grabbed her short purple hair, pulled it down, and slammed her knee into it hard - this time her whole face was "slightly distorted".

at the same time……

Because of Yilong's excessive torture, the cross torture device had bent and broken.

"I'm not like those gentle guys. If I don't know... I wonder if the mask is still a weakness after becoming an [Arrancar]?" Yilong said, holding the mask on her left forehead with one hand, and lifted her up along with the cross.

Seeing this, Wei Huohuo said at the right time: "Master Yilong, Captain Kyoraku only captured her..."

It was obviously a reminder to Yilong that he couldn't be beaten to death!

"No, that guy Kyoraku told me that he didn't catch any." Ichiryu said nonchalantly.

"But..." Weihuohu looked around signally.

"Tsk... I'm going to take this prisoner out for individual interrogation!" Yilong said, and he grabbed her mask and dragged her out of the prison.

Then, in the interrogation room that Yilong had personally arranged, Yilong once again interrogated Tiruti: "What is your name?"

Tiruti, who had been glaring at Yilong angrily, spat at him, but Yilong easily dodged it.

But this also angered Yilong...

"Haha, it does look like a human, but... I don't know if the body structure is different."

Yilong sneered, and the next moment he punched her in the abdomen!

only……

This naturally also broke the seal on her!

……

At this time, Xiumu and the other two quickly arrived at the "crime scene". This place was indeed very remote. They saw a destroyed sedan chair parked at the scene, which was probably used to transport the [King's Seal].

at this time……

"Hmm? Did you find anything?" Soi-Fong asked Kyōraku with a frown - Kyōraku had just made a slight sound and covered his ears.

"Nothing..." Kyoraku smiled awkwardly with some helplessness.

That’s right, he had placed surveillance equipment in the prison where Tiruti was imprisoned, and in the seal on her body!

He could also guess that the fact that the female Arrancar was imprisoned could not be hidden from Shihouin, but he just wanted to take the opportunity to test and see what the relationship between Shihouin and Aizen was.

But now...

Not only did Shihouin take the female Arrancar away, but during the interrogation, he also destroyed the sealing structure, making it impossible for him to eavesdrop.

This made Kyoraku very helpless - he also suspected that Shihouin might have done it on purpose, but... from the evidence he had now, Shihouin could completely say that he was interrogating normally and the seal was broken "accidentally."

181. Chapter 180 Another Hyorinmaru?

2023-09-28

"What is Aizen trying to do? Why are you here?" Yilong sat directly in the interrogation room, crossed his legs, and asked Tiruti who had been freed from the seal.

Although Tiruti was injured, especially the punch from Ichiryuu when he broke the seal, he was still sitting on the ground, covering his wound to promote recovery, and replied: "Lord Aizen wants the [King's Seal]."

"Why?" Yilong frowned.

"I don't know. Lord Aizen simply ordered that the Arrancar who can offer the [Royal Seal] can become the new Espada." Tiruti said truthfully.

"New Espada? Who was kicked out of the Espada recently?" Yilong wondered.

"Not yet, but that guy Sal Apollo had previously plotted against Nelliel and was seriously injured. Lord Aizen ordered him to do this. If he can get the [Royal Seal] back, his position will be retained." Tiruti said fiercely at this time.

"So..." Yilong said in a tone of "I see."

"That's right. When I was ambushed by those sinister Grim Reapers, that guy Sal Apollo suddenly attacked me. I was unable to enter the anti-membrane and had to stay behind to cover my retreat. As a result, I was slashed by that dog-headed Grim Reaper!" Tiruti was also filled with anger when he mentioned this.

It seems that Komamura injured her...

When Yilong heard about Sar Apollo, he had already vaguely guessed this - after all, Sar Apollo and Tiruti had always had a bad relationship. Perhaps it was because, before becoming an [Arrancar], Sar Apollo was a "butterfly-shaped Hollow" and Tiruti was a "moth-shaped Hollow", so they repelled each other like this?

"So, only Sal Apollo and a few three-digit guys are doing this? Who were the people who ambushed you before?" Yilong's tone sounded as expected - as expected, Aizen didn't think he took this matter very seriously.

If there had been no problem with the alarm detecting "Hollow" on Mayuri's side, Aizen might not have taken this action at all.

As for the reason...

Yilong suspected that Aizen wanted to try to use the [King's Seal] to make the [King's Key] - the [King's Seal] not only has strong spiritual power, but also has the effect of "transferring space" itself, but the range does not include the "Spirit King Palace". Perhaps it can be processed into the [King's Key] to go to the "Spirit King Palace"!

But this is not the first choice. Aizen should be more inclined to use the "Heavy Spiritual Land" in the present world to create the [King Key].

"Guntenbine, Dorudoni, Ruby, I and I agreed to work together with Sar Apollo to seize the [King's Seal]..."

Yilong: ...

Are you trying to seize Sar Apollo's position and are you working with him?

That is to say...

Do you guys think you can outsmart Sal Apollo with your brains?

Yilong did not comment on their mysterious self-confidence.

"As a result, when we tried to intercept the transport troops, we were ambushed by several Grim Reapers that were not mentioned in the information!" Tiruti said angrily.

"What kind of person is not in the information?" Yilong asked - the so-called information should be the previous information of the Gotei 13.

"A guy with short white hair and a sword that looks like a dagger, a fat old man with a pink beard and a round face, a female Grim Reaper with green hair and wearing tights, a female Grim Reaper with a single braid in a sailor suit and glasses... and a little thing with double braids and a super short stature!" Tiruti said with a look of disgust.

Ichiryū listened and roughly understood that it should be the former captain of the 9th Division, Kensei Muguruma, the vice-captain of the team, Hachigen Akida, and Muguruma's former vice-captain Kunan Shiro, Kyoraku's former vice-captain Yadomaru Lisa, and Urahara's former vice-captain, Hisari Saruki...

However, after hearing Tiruti's description, Yilong couldn't help but ask: "The last one... is shorter than you?"

Tiruti: ...

"Much shorter!" Tiruti said firmly after a moment of silence.

If someone else asked this question, Tiruti would let him know that being short does not prevent her from killing people, but whether facing "Lin" or "the hope of escaping death", she did not have the courage to resist.

Yilong was also very surprised...

After all, when he came to Soul Society, that group of people had already "defected" out. He had never seen how short Sarugaki Hiyori was. But now, Tiruti, who was only 1.5 meters tall even with her battle suit and high heels, was so confident. Yilong had a rough estimate of Sarugaki Hiyori's body shape!

But that's not the point of course...

"So... did you succeed in getting the [King's Seal] in the end?" Yilong was not sure whether Kyōraku was telling the truth.

And even if Kyoraku didn't lie, it's possible that Sar Apollo used some tricks...
