Death: So I am a Quincy

"Something terrible has happened! Deputy Captain!" the two men said.

"What happened?" Yu Gongdu frowned and asked. Could it be that the two third seats were worried about...

"It's Rukia! The Technology Development Bureau has detected that Rukia's spiritual pressure fluctuations in the human world have disappeared!"

"..." When Amemiya heard this, his heart tightened. It seemed that Rukia had given her power to Ichigo Kurosaki. And the disappearance of the spiritual pressure also meant that Urahara Kisuke had already given the artificial body to Rukia.

"Don't panic, what did the captain say?" Yu Gongdu asked calmly. Since things have already happened, they should make plans as soon as possible.

"The captain is waiting for you in the captain's room to discuss what to do."

"I know, I'll go there now."

In the captain's office of the 13th Division, Ukitake was looking at the report with a worried look on his face.

"Captain, I'm here." Amemiya opened the door directly and asked Ukitake.

"Du, you are finally here. Take a look at this report first." Ukitake handed the information in his hand to Amemiya Du.

Amemiya looked at the content above.

"According to the Technology Development Bureau's tests, a month ago, Kuchiki Rukia's spiritual pressure began to weaken rapidly, and within this month, Kuchiki Rukia's spiritual pressure continued to weaken until it could no longer be detected."

"Captain, have the purification orders for the Hollows in Karakura Town been sent out?"

"Yes, it is sent every time a Hollow appears." Ukitake said seriously, "What do you want to ask?"

"So are the Hollows purified normally every time?"

"Yes, the appearance of the Hollow was purified in time."

"Then Rukia should be fine, her spiritual pressure just can't be detected for some reason, but she can complete the mission." Amemiya said to him.

"That's right..." Ukitake pondered, "That's true. If something happened to Rukia, there would be no one to purify the Hollows in Karakura Town."

"I suggest that the officials from nearby cities go to Karakura Town to investigate. It would be best if we could find Rukia and ask her what happened."

"...It seems that there is no need for that." Ukitake said helplessly, "The Technology Development Bureau not only reported it to us, but also reported it to the Secret Mobile."

"Stealth maneuver?"

"Yes, the covert mobile fourth squadron, the Flying Squadron, is specifically responsible for searching for missing Grim Reapers. With them going, it will be difficult for our application to be approved." Fuzhu said with a wry smile.

"Don't worry too much, Captain Ukitake. At least we can prove that Rukia is safe."

"Yes, but that's not what I'm most worried about..." Ukitake pondered. "Du, do you know about the system of proxy Shinigami?"

"Agent Shinigami? I remember there was a record of it in the 13th Division, but it was just mentioned."

"A proxy Shinigami is a human who does not belong to Soul Society or the Gotei 13, but possesses the power of a Shinigami for some reason, and helps the Shinigami to perform the work of extraditing whole souls and destroying Hollows in the form of a Shinigami. He is called a proxy Shinigami." Ukitake explained.

"But this rule was made after the first person who gained the power of the god of death appeared."

"But the first generation of the substitute Shinigami betrayed Soul Society, so these rules had to be added to the end..."

"It is a serious crime to give the power of a Shinigami to a human. This is a rule issued by the Central 46th Office because of the betrayal of the acting Shinigami Ginjō Kūgo..."

"What does Captain Ukitake want to say?" asked Amemiya.

"Ah, these are just my guesses. I hope Rukia didn't really do this." Ukitake said helplessly.

Amemiya heard Ukitake's guess and sighed inwardly. "Rukia, that idiot, did exactly that."

Amemiya knew that with Rukia's strength, especially since she had regained her Shikai, she should be able to avoid being defeated by ordinary Hollows in the real world.

This means that something must have changed in the world that he didn't know about, which forced Rukia to make this choice.

"Captain Ukitake, what would happen if Rukia really gave the power of the god of death to humans?" asked Amemiya.

"Because of the betrayal of the first acting Shinigami Ginjo Kūgo, there are stricter regulations on this matter. If Rukia really does this, the worst result may be the death penalty..."

"This is the work of the Soul Society's 'nobles'," Amamiya said inwardly.

After hearing this, Amemiya had no choice but to ask Ukitake, "Captain Ukitake, if this really happened, please allow me to go to the human world to investigate."

"Don't worry, this is just my guess. Maybe Rukia will recover after a while." Ukitake comforted.

Amemiya didn't reply, but just stared at Ukitake.

"...I understand. If things really go to the worst possible outcome, I will allow you to go to the real world to investigate." Ukitake saw Amamiya's determination and agreed to him.

Walking out of the captain's room, Kotetsu Kiyone and Kotsubaki Sentaro were waiting anxiously in the distance. Seeing Amemiya Tsutomu coming out of the captain's room, they hurriedly asked Amemiya Tsutomu questions.

"Vice-Captain, what's going on? Is Rukia really in trouble?"

"Yeah, what's going on? Should we send support personnel to the real world for rescue?"

Amemiya comforted her, "The Hollows in Karakura Town where Rukia is have been constantly being conquered and purified, so it seems that Rukia should still be in Karakura Town, but perhaps for some reason, her spiritual pressure cannot be detected."

"Is that so... That's great." Kotetsu Qingyin stroked his chest gently and let out a sigh of relief.

"Well, I got scared. Fortunately, Kuchiki is okay." Sentaro Kotsubaki also wiped a sweat off his face.

"Don't worry. If anything goes wrong, I've already asked Captain Ukitake for permission and will go to the real world."

"Huh? Vice Captain To is going to the world in person?" Tohru Qingyin felt relieved when he heard this, but he noticed the hidden meaning in Amemiya Tou's words.

"Deputy Captain Do is going in person? That's too serious. Don't worry, I can do it for you!" Kotaro Otsubaki thought that Amemiya Do was concerned about his subordinates, so he volunteered.

"Sentaro, shut up!" Kotetsu Kiyone gave Kotsubaki Sentaro an elbow, not wanting him to continue talking.

"I understand. I'll leave it to you, Vice Captain Tou!" Kotetsu Kiyone said to Amemiya Tou, and then pulled Kotsubaki Sentaro away.

"Hey, Qingyin, why are you stopping me? There's no need for the vice-captain to take action for rescue. I'm here..." Sentaro Kotsubaki's voice was getting farther and farther away, but he still pestered Qingyin Kotsubaki, wanting to ask why.

Amemiya saw the two men and shook his head.

"It's time to make some preparations." Amemiya knew that he wouldn't have to wait too long before he would return to the human world.

"The most important person... Urahara Kisuke." Amemiya knew that he couldn't avoid this key person when he went to the human world this time.

Chapter 54: Rukia's Change

"Damn it, why is my spiritual power recovering so slowly?" Rukia gritted her teeth and looked at Ichigo Kurosaki who was fighting with a Hollow in front of her, complaining about the speed of her own spiritual power recovery.

"Even if the spiritual power in this world is thin, it won't be like this. With this spiritual power recovery speed, it will be gone every time I use a few ghost ways."

Ever since Rukia gave the power of the Death God to Ichigo Kurosaki, she has been assisting Ichigo Kurosaki in purifying the Hollows of Karakura Town.

Rukia's original plan was to work hard after recovering her spiritual power. Without her assistance, Ichigo Kurosaki would not be able to transform into a god of death, and he would not be discovered by the Soul Society at that time.

But until now, the speed at which his spiritual power recovered was still very slow. Every time he used the Kidō to help Kurosaki Ichigo, his spiritual power would run out.

"That's too bad... I hope we don't get discovered." Rukia muttered to herself, but what she didn't know was that the Soul Society had already noticed something wrong with her.

"What do you mean by don't want to be discovered?" After Ichigo Kurosaki purified the Hollow, he saw Rukia talking to herself and asked.

"No…it's nothing, Ichigo. You did great."

"Ah, Rukia, wait a moment, I have something to tell you." Kurosaki Ichigo called her.

"what's up?"

"The work of the God of Death is tomorrow, so let me take a leave." After saying this, Ichigo Kurosaki looked in a certain direction with a complicated expression.

"Idiot, there are no holidays in the work of the God of Death, and the Hollows won't wait for you to take a holiday." Rukia did not agree. What if a powerful Hollow happened to appear tomorrow, wouldn't that be the end of her?

"Because tomorrow is the day my mother passed away..." Kurosaki Ichigo said slowly. "Or rather, the day she was killed..."

Rukia saw Ichigo Kurosaki's expression and put away the words that were about to say no.

The next day, August 6th.

Ishida Ryugen arrived at the hospital early and looked out the window with a complicated expression.

'Ye Hui, Masaki...' Ishida Ryugen will naturally never forget this day. Six years ago today, his wife fell into a coma and his good friend Masaki died, which brought him great grief.

Ryugen Ishida wanted to wait until the Kurosaki family finished their memorial service before going to Kurosaki Masaki's grave alone to pay tribute to her.

On the other side, Ichigo Kurosaki and his family arrived at the mountain where his mother's grave was early in the morning, ready to pay tribute to his mother.

But when Ichigo Kurosaki arrived, he found Rukia Kuchiki waving at him not far away, which made him look horrified.

Without bothering to explain to his family, he quickly ran over and took Rukia to a deserted place.

"You guy! Why did you follow me!" Ichigo Kurosaki shouted at Rukia.

"What if a Hollow appears if I'm not here?" Rukia said helplessly.

"Then can't you just not show up in front of my family!" Kurosaki Ichigo said angrily.

"I'm so sorry, I was careless." Rukia apologized insincerely.

Ichigo Kurosaki no longer cared about her, but just told her not to appear in front of her family.

On the mountain, Ichigo Kurosaki and his family paid tribute to his mother, and time quietly came to dusk. On the mountain, Kari Kurosaki saw a girl standing on the edge of a cliff, and couldn't help but ask questions...

At this time, Rukia Kuchiki also felt the presence of Hollow, and quickly took out the messenger machine to check, but it took a long time before the order came.

"Too slow, bastard." Rukia ran up the mountain anxiously and met Ichigo Kurosaki who came with her.

When Ichigo Kurosaki turned into the god of death and came to the mountain, he saw one of his sisters being caught and the other falling to the ground.

"Damn it..." Ichigo Kurosaki hurried forward, raised the knife and was about to chop.

When Rukia saw the appearance of the Hollow, she remembered Amamiya's warning and shouted: "Ichigo, be careful, it's..."

Ichigo Kurosaki didn't hear any sound. He only saw that his two sisters were in danger and he just wanted to kill the Hollow as soon as possible.

Ichigo Kurosaki cut off the claws of the Grand Fisher that were grabbing his sister, and seeing the familiar black-haired girl, he couldn't help but question it.

"It's you! It must be you! The little girl standing on the shore six years ago, how could you be with Xu Dai!"

"It's the Grim Reaper again!" Grand Fisher looked at him angrily, but after hearing what Kurosaki Ichigo said, he remembered what happened six years ago, so he wanted to play a trick on Kurosaki Ichigo.

"What you said is not right, kid." Grand Fisher said with a smile as she transformed into a little black-haired girl.

"Be careful, Ichigo! She is not human. This appearance is just a bait on her head!" Rukia rushed over and reminded.

"Bait?" Ichigo Kurosaki quickly turned his head to look at it.

"Ah, you found me?" The black-haired little girl's face began to crack and fall off, and finally turned into a tentacle wearing a mask.

"Since you have seen me, I can't let you go."

"Ichigo, its code name is Grand Fisher, and it is one of the few extremely cunning Hollows recorded in Soul Society. It uses the mimicry bait on its head to confuse humans with spiritual powers, and then devours them. Even the Shinigami of Soul Society have been repelled by it." Rukia looked at Grand Fisher with a serious expression.

In addition to these, there is also the abnormal spiritual pressure that Amemiya once mentioned. If Grand Fisher really has the ability to defeat the god of death who possesses the Shikai, then today will be in trouble.

"Ichigo, it's very strong, be careful..." Before Rukia finished her warning, Ichigo Kurosaki rushed forward without saying a word.

"Idiot! How reckless!" Rukia shouted loudly, but Ichigo Kurosaki didn't want to listen.

Because he understood from Rukia's words that six years ago, his mother died because he wanted to save this Hollow.

Grand Fisher looked at Ichigo Kurosaki jokingly and did not take him seriously. Compared with the Shinigami he had met before, Ichigo Kurosaki was still too weak.

The Grand Fisher's hand that was cut off by Kurosaki Ichigo quickly grew out, stretched out in an instant, and grabbed towards Kurosaki Ichigo.

Seeing this, Rukia immediately chanted the Kidō, hoping to help Ichigo Kurosaki.

"Don't interfere, Rukia! This is... my battle!" Ichigo Kurosaki's words at this time hit Rukia's heart hard, reminding her of bad memories.

Rukia stopped moving instantly and just watched Ichigo Kurosaki and Grand Fisher fighting.

But she remembered some of the things Amemiya had told her before, and became a little hesitant.

But Grand Fisher gradually gained the upper hand, and Ichigo Kurosaki's injuries continued to increase...

……

Back to the time before Kuchiki Rukia set out, in Koifushi Mountain, Amemiya happened to talk about the matter of Shiba Kaien.

"But in my opinion, I don't quite agree with Captain Ukitake's point of view. Instead, I think your reaction at that time was correct. The lives of your companions are still the most important." Amemiya said to Rukia.

"What did you say? Is fighting for dignity not important?" Rukia asked hurriedly, trying to deny Amamiya's words.

"My dignity is that I cannot let my companions lose their lives. For this reason, I certainly cannot watch my companions die alone." Yu Gongdu said.

"You are, this is sophistry..." Rukia's words became softer and softer, not knowing how to refute this.

"So Rukia, would you rather watch your companions die?"

"I..." Rukia didn't know what to choose after hearing this.

"Stop discussing dignity. If you can't make a choice, just leave it to your instinct. Your heart won't lie to you."
