The journey from the Quincy

Ichigo was in a very unhappy mood and stared at Ichimaru Gin fiercely.

However, his pretending to be fierce eyes were still too immature, too gentle and kind in the eyes of Ichimaru Gin, the real poisonous snake.

"Of course not. I have watched you grow up all the way. You are a child born to protect others. As long as you make up your mind, no one can stop you from protecting your companions and the people you cherish."

Ichimaru Gin seemed to know Ichigo very well. His narrowed eyes slowly opened, and his sharp edge gradually revealed, "However, your friends are staying in Hueco Mundo now, their lives will not be in any danger, and they will receive the best hospitality. You can also come back to rescue them at any time, this is not the only chance.

But once they leave Hueco Mundo now and follow you into the battlefield, it will be hard to say.

Imagine that your friend is killed mercilessly by the enemy in front of you just like Grimmjow who turned into fireworks before. Can you really bear this result?

In other words, have you really considered the consequences and are you ready to join your companions in facing a war that does not belong to them?

It's not about sacrificing your own life, but about being prepared that your friends may die with you. War is not a child's game.

Even if all this is just hypothetical, and your friends will definitely be well protected by you, do you really dare to gamble with the lives of your companions? Even if the possibility of them dying in the war is very small. "

"you……"

Ichigo clenched the knife tightly in his hand, veins bulging on the back of his hand. For a moment, he seemed to have a thousand words to say, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say anything. He only felt a tightness in his chest.

"Decide now. Do you want to risk your life and be dragged into the quagmire of war with your friends who care about you, or do you want to postpone this rescue and wait until the war is over and everything is settled, and then come here to set them free?"

Gin Ichimaru asked Ichigo a soul-searching question.

As long as it is for the sake of protecting the lives of others, Ichigo Kurosaki will not hesitate to sacrifice his own life, even if it means forcing himself to be brave. However, he will never sit idly by and watch his comrades die. He cannot bear the terrible consequences of his comrades dying because of his willfulness. He will not deceive himself by saying that it is normal for people to die in war, because he doesn't want to see anyone die at all!

If his friend died because of his mistake, he would never be able to forgive himself for the rest of his life.

Obviously, Gin Ichimaru's words made Ichigo Kurosaki lose his indomitable spirit. He became indecisive for a while and fell into a state of confusion and anxiety.

His mind kept recalling the scene where Grimmjow had fireworks set off in front of him. Every time a Grimmjow died in the replay in his mind, Ichigo's aura became lower and an unspoken fear gripped his heart.

With just a few words from Ichimaru Gin, Ichigo Kurosaki's faith was shaken and he almost lost all his will to fight. At this moment, he was sweating profusely and didn't know what to do.

Just like when Rukia was in front of the Palace of Confession, Ichimaru Gin teased her and rekindled the hope of life and fear of death in Rukia, who had originally been determined to die and had no desire to live. Then, with the words "I was just kidding", Rukia's heart was instantly thrown into hell.

He completely shook Rukia, and very easily made her want to live again. At the same time, he completely destroyed Rukia's original preparedness, causing her to scream and shout like crazy, completely losing the demeanor of a lady.

Now, he also played with Kurosaki Ichigo's mind. With just a few short words, he made Kurosaki Ichigo lose his composure. His originally firm fighting belief had collapsed, and he fell into self-torture that would not produce any results.

Chapter 62: Ichigo is furious and Ichigo retreats.

"Hey, Ichigo, cheer up."

At this moment, Pei Xue suddenly kicked Ichigo from behind, bringing Ichigo, who was already sweating profusely from mental exhaustion, back to reality.

"Pei Xue?"

Ichigo looked at Pei Xue with some confusion.

"Now that you're here, what are you still hesitating about? What are you going to do? What are you going to choose for the future? Everyone is an independent individual with their own ideas. You don't need others to make decisions for you!

Do you want to make decisions for your friends and Lady Nilu? When did you become so arrogant?

Besides, is your friend really as safe as he said while being imprisoned by a Quincy in Hueco Mundo?

Hey, hey, hey, you can't be so naive, I want to protect Lady Nilu and don't want her to be dragged into the battlefield with you, but that guy is the enemy, can you really believe the enemy's words? "

Pei Xue's words cheered Ichigo up again, and he began to look at this guy who usually only knew how to make jokes and seemed funny and unreliable with a new respect.

"Ah, thank you very much, Pei Xue."

Ichigo's eyes became firm again, which made Ichimaru Gin's smile disappear and his eyes became gloomy.

It’s not that Ichigo is not afraid that his companions might get injured if they go to the battlefield with him, but mainly because Ichigo remembered the character of Bai Yuetong. No matter what, he cannot let his companions fall into the hands of this despicable person like Bai Yuetong.

There is no safety at all in Bai Yuetong's hands, and he might use his companions to threaten him at any time, making him restricted in his actions. The main reason is that Ichigo has a great prejudice against the character of this bastard Bai Yuetong. The prejudice against Bai Yuetong and Pei Xue's reminder happened to be connected together, which easily broke the torture that Ichimaru Gin carefully constructed for Ichigo.

No matter what, we must rescue our companions from the enemy first. Pei Xue is right. How can we trust everything the enemy says!

If he was really afraid that his companions would get hurt, he would let them stay in the real world. Even though doing so would definitely make Chad and the others sad, Ichigo had no choice but to do so.

Ichigo's friends are not only Chad and the others, there are also Ryuki and other classmates. However, those classmates who have no fighting ability, no matter how unwilling they are, can only stay in the real world and wait for the result. So in the face of such a cruel war, Ichigo has made up his mind to have a good talk with them after rescuing his imprisoned friends.

"Hey, wasn't my speech just now cool? Ah, I was so cool just now."

Pei Xue soon became out of tune again, but in the next moment he was overjoyed and turned into sorrow.

A dazzling knife flashed across, and blood splattered. Pei Xue, who was laughing and lively just now, was instantly cut in half.

The scarlet blood dyed the floor red, reflecting the face of Ichigo Kurosaki, who was first stunned, then his eyes widened, his mouth opened, and his pupils contracted, and he yelled in helplessness, grief and anger.

"Pei Xue——!!!"

Ichigo knelt down on the ground in sorrow, trembling all over, and frantically put the two pieces of Peixue together, as if trying to glue Peixue back together again, and called out to his friend whose body still had some warmth in it with a trembling voice, "Hey, cheer up, don't die!"

"I told you before, war is never a game. You see, you can't protect your companions at all. Even if they are right next to you, as long as you are careless for a moment, they will immediately break into two halves like now~"

Ichimaru Gin's voice sounded cold but with a hint of playfulness.

At the same time, silver light flashed, and Pei Xue's companion Dongdechaka also suffered an unexpected disaster. Like Pei Xue, he was broken into two parts and bled a lot.

"Ichi-maru-gin-!"

Ichigo Kurosaki stood up and looked up, shouting through gritted teeth. Seeing two lives disappear in front of him in an instant, the murderous intent that he could not suppress caused his spiritual pressure to surge, turning into a beam of light that shot straight into the sky.

"Ah, are you angry already? Are you going to kill me? However, if these two Hollows are treated in time, they might be able to survive~"

Ichimaru Gin looked at Kurosaki Ichigo with a smile.

"you!"

Ichigo was so angry that his entire face turned a ferocious red.

"If you are willing to leave Hueco Mundo right now, I might show mercy and send all these bloody parts to that human girl.

Her ability was praised by Captain Aizen. If she could have provided timely treatment, the two Hollows might have survived."

As Ichimaru Gin spoke, he raised the dagger in his hand and pointed it at the pool of blood, which aroused Ichigo Kurosaki's vigilance.

"What do you want to do now!"

Ichigo Kurosaki shouted angrily, his whole body tense, ready to chop Ichimaru Gin at any time.

"You have been indifferent and it seems that you don't want to leave. After all, I am the enemy, and you must never believe the enemy's words.

Since you don't want to leave, there's no point in keeping these eyesores, so of course you have to clean them up."

Ichimaru Gin ignored Ichigo's machete and spoke as if it was a matter of course.

"mean!"

Ichigo Kurosaki was so angry that he was shaking all over. He resisted the urge to kill the other person and turned around with a dark face, "I will leave Hueco Mundo now. Remember your promise, otherwise... otherwise I will tell Miss Rangiku everything that just happened!"

Ichigo's murderous aura was broken by his last words that tried to threaten Gin Ichimaru. Even he himself couldn't hold it anymore and could only flee away in shame and anger using Flash Step.

Because Ichigo Kurosaki really didn't know how to make harsh words to Gin Ichimaru and threatened to kill him, but the other party had been pulled back from the quiet sleep of death, so he was not afraid at all. As for an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, it was even more impossible for Ichigo to do it with his kind and gentle character.

Besides, the only person Gin Ichimaru cares about is Rangiku, and there is no way Ichigo could retaliate against Gin Ichimaru by hurting Rangiku, so Ichigo lost his tongue at the end while speaking, and made himself look like an elementary school student who told the other person's parents after being bullied.

"What a creepy kid!"

After sensing that Ichigo Kurosaki's spiritual pressure was quickly fading away, Gin Ichimaru breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

In fact, Ichigo was not the only one who was under great psychological pressure. He was the same just now. Not to mention that his pants were wet, at least his nerves were tense.

After learning that Ichigo Kurosaki's latest configuration after the version update is the Hogyoku, the moment he received the task of repelling Ichigo Kurosaki, Ichimaru Gin felt extremely stressed and did not even think of relying solely on force to repel the opponent.

The memory of being stabbed to death by the evolved Captain Aizen constantly attacks Ichimaru Gin's bitter heart. His biggest trump card, the God-killing Spear, can probably only play a role in accelerating the evolution of the holder of the Hogyoku.

Moreover, Ichimaru Gin probably guessed that the purpose of Shirayuki Hitomi sending herself to Hueco Mundo might also be to promote Ichigo Kurosaki's evolution, otherwise Shirayuki Hitomi would not have deliberately sent herself to stop the opponent when she knew that Ichigo Kurosaki had the Hogyoku.

Chapter 63: The knights are slacking off, and the loyal minister Kiluge.

In other words, as long as Kurosaki Ichigo evolves, it will be fine. As for what will happen to Gin Ichimaru after he evolves, in front of Ichigo Kurosaki who is extremely furious because his life is threatened, in the eyes of Shirayuki Hitomi who has already achieved her goal, it may no longer be important.

Just like how Captain Aizen once deliberately selected some just-right enemies to hone Ichigo Kurosaki, he was able to put enough pressure on Ichigo Kurosaki without completely killing him, allowing Ichigo Kurosaki to improve at the fastest speed under appropriate pressure.

There was once a Grimmjow who went out without any report and disrupted Aizen's plan. After he returned to Hueco Mundo, he was severely bullied by Lord Aizen in the workplace.

However, Gin Ichimaru did not want to die for the time being. It was not because he was afraid of death, but because he felt that this war was too dangerous. He was worried and did not dare to die until he saw that Rangiku was completely safe.

After much thought, Gin Ichimaru could only try to use intimidation, threats, and deception to make Ichigo Kurosaki retreat on his own initiative, in order to complete the mission in a tricky way.

As for whether doing so would disrupt Bai Yuetong's original plan, causing the new boss to become dissatisfied and causing him to suffer in the future, or even lead to workplace bullying like Grimmjow, Ichimaru Gin couldn't care less for the time being. After all, he had completed the mission on the surface.

However, this method can probably only be used this time. After all, using the life safety of a companion to threaten Ichigo Kurosaki is something only Hitomi Shiratsuki can do. Gin Ichimaru is still very sensible.

After a long sigh, Gin Ichimaru picked up a disc-shaped teleportation device. A blue light unfolded and wrapped around Gin Ichimaru and the parts on the ground, and teleported them towards the gate of the castle built by Bai Yuetong in the Hueco Mundo.

Although he did not report to his superiors, he was directly exposed to the surveillance equipment. He was worried that Kurosaki Ichigo, Inoue Orihime, and Nellie would be able to see what he was doing. They were probably waiting for him at the door.

Just as he expected, when he arrived at the castle gate, the worried women had already rushed over. A film of light unfolded, and the several pieces of the body that had not yet cooled down were put together again, and the scars gradually disappeared.

Seeing this, Ichimaru Gin finally put his heart at ease, because Bai Yuetong was definitely also paying attention to this side. Without the other party's tacit consent, these girls would not be able to leave the castle. This also meant that he had passed the test for the time being.

Before the girls blamed him, Gin Ichimaru had already left the scene in a cunning way, leaving Nel with a rage and no way to vent her anger. She could only look at her two subordinates with concern.

"Don't worry, Nilu. They were sent here just in time and are no longer in danger of death. As long as they rest for a while, they will be able to fully recover."

After confirming that Peixue and Dondechaka were successfully healed by her ability, Orihime Inoue breathed a sigh of relief, and then comforted Nel.

They all had a friendship of sharing weal and woe, so during this period of time, Orihime and Nel had a very good relationship. At least now, Orihime would not politely call the other party Miss Nel, but would call her Nel directly.

"Great, they're still alive. Thank you Orihime!"

Upon hearing this, Nel, with tears in her eyes, was extremely excited and hugged Orihime.

"You're holding me too tight, Nello. I can't breathe... I can't breathe!"

Faced with Nel's huge impact that was even more majestic than her own, as well as the powerful brute force and iron-like physique of a female Vastod, the human Orihime was completely unable to withstand it and even felt suffocated.

Upon hearing this, Nel had no choice but to loosen her arms and stop hugging Orihime excitedly, which allowed Orihime to breathe smoothly again.

"Harribel, why are you here?"

Neel frowned and asked when she saw Harribel coming over.

Although everyone had to submit to Bai Yue Hitomi out of concern for their companions, Nel was dissatisfied with the fact that Harribel acknowledged her alliance with Bai Yue Hitomi, worked for Bai Yue Hitomi, and maintained Bai Yue Hitomi's ruling order in the Hueco Mundo.

"Bai Yuetong asked me to come here. He asked me to tell you that everything you do has a price. He has seen all your little actions, so he also acquiesced to Ichimaru Gin's actions to warn you."

Harribel sighed, "He said that he expects you to continue to resist, but if you fail, you will have to bear the corresponding bitter consequences. Next time, it won't be as simple as just shedding blood."

She knew that Bai Yuetong deliberately asked her to pass on the message, so that Ni Lu and the others would instinctively hate her and gradually develop more hostility and estrangement, but there was nothing she could do.

Sure enough, when Orihime heard this, her eyes dimmed and her melancholy was evident in her words. Nel clenched her fists even more, but looking at the two subordinates who had just recovered on the ground, she could only feel discouraged. She was not a loner who could be fearless and could vent any dissatisfaction directly. She also had her weaknesses.

Looking at the expressions of the two, Harribel roughly understood why Bai Yuetong condoned Ichimaru Gin to harm Nel's subordinates, and at the same time condoned Inoue Orihime and Nel to leave the castle to rescue them. These two subordinates would be more useful if they were alive, allowing Bai Yuetong to control Nelielu more easily.

She herself was in the same situation. She was trapped by Bai Yuetong using her companions and the entire Hueco Mundo. She was unable to resist or refuse. All her weaknesses were controlled by Bai Yuetong. And the worst thing was that Bai Yuetong did not completely rule with high pressure. She also gave Harribel some hope, completely trapping her.

……

Soul Society.

The war between the Shinigami and the Quincies continues, and under the catalysis of Kurotsuchi Mayuri's poison gas, the desire to kill on both sides continues to rise, and the struggle begins to become increasingly fierce.

Be it ordinary Shinigami or ordinary holy soldiers among the Quincy, the large-scale casualties among the lower-level personnel far exceeded the expectations of the leaders of both sides.

The new captain of the Shinigami side, Kyoraku Shunsui, expressed his helplessness, but accepted this result. At least under Kurotsuchi Mayuri's poison gas attack, the ordinary low-level Quincies also suffered heavy casualties, and they were able to fight back and forth with the middle-level Quincies.

Although Haschwalth, the commander of the Quincy, kept frowning, he knew that no matter how many casualties there were on both sides of the battlefield, as long as the war continued and people kept dying, it would be an advantage for His Majesty personally.

But Haschwald still felt a little dissatisfied, because he found that in such a cruel war, many knights were actually slacking off.

Buzby fought fiercely with the genius captain among the Death Gods, and even activated the Complete Holy Body. The war between ice and fire was indisputable.

However, there were many knights who were leisurely on the battlefield, as if they were out for a spring outing, detached from the fierce battle.

Moreover, a huge warrior appeared on the battlefield, constantly sweeping across the battlefield, rescuing the Shinigami and killing the Quincies. In particular, he relied on his size advantage and could take the lives of large numbers of Quincies with a casual swing of his giant blade.

It must be the captain named Komamura Sajin. No one knows what secret technique he used, but no matter what kind of damage the giant samurai whose life is connected to his is hurt, he can recover quickly, as if he has an immortal body.

However, this guy seemed unsatisfied after protecting his companions, and he kept jumping up and rushing towards the direction where Your Majesty was. Everyone on the battlefield could see the movement trajectory of the giant warrior.

If no one took the initiative to intercept such an obvious movement and such a conspicuous giant, he would be really angry.
