I said you are all war criminals

Renji couldn't help but curse as he fended off the barrage of light arrows. After just one attack and defense, he felt his arms begin to tingle and his spiritual pressure drain steadily increasing. If this continued, he would eventually be exhausted.

Rukia's heart sank at the sight. She knew that Renji, though seemingly careless, was actually very reliable, especially in combat. As the third captain, Renji was even more formidable than herself, the vice-captain. If even Renji was struggling, it showed that the red-haired girl's strength was not to be underestimated.

We must find a way to break the deadlock! Rukia thought of this and instantly disappeared from the spot. When she reappeared, she was already behind the red-haired girl, her Zanpakutō going straight for the girl's back.

However, the girl seemed to have anticipated this. Without even turning her head, she launched a swift spinning kick, hitting Rukia in the stomach.

"Well……"

Rukia groaned, feeling a sharp pain in her abdomen, as if struck by a huge rock. She flew backward like a kite with its string cut, slamming heavily into the wall of the building behind her. Her Zanpakutō flew out of her hand with a resounding thud.

"Rukia!"

Seeing this, Renji was horrified. He didn't care about defending himself from the light arrows and rushed towards Rukia. Then, Renji grabbed Rukia and, despite being hit by two arrows in the back, he used a flash step and disappeared without a trace.

"That's too weak... Is this the level of a Death God?"

Kita swung his arm and threw off the blue light bow.

She hadn't intended to take anyone's life in the first place—while Kita enjoyed fighting, she didn't enjoy killing that much.

only……

"Oh, I forgot I could be seen."

Kita looked at the crowd on the ground who were raising their phones to take pictures, and scratched his hair in confusion.

Unlike Shinigami, Quincies are not spirits, but humans. Even though the battle just now lasted only a few seconds, it was enough for everyone to see.

...Oh no, I'm going to get scolded now.

Chapter 142: Kita’s busy day.

"Well, you're not going to punish me?"

After returning to the satellite, Kita thought he would be electrocuted as well. However, Ichiri just sat on the throne this time and had no intention of getting up to electrocute Kita.

Seeing this, Xiduo couldn't help but smile.

"So Pochi-chan likes me so much?"

"It's just not necessary..."

Ichiri finally spoke, "You are different from those guys. The Quincy blood in your body has no room to awaken further. The Quincy blood will never devour the Golden God blood in your body, let alone make you stronger than me."

Kita, floating between the thrones, raised an eyebrow.

"Oh my, that electric shock turned out to be some kind of strengthening ritual? I thought it was a punishment."

"That's a punishment, but also a reinforcement. The mission failed, which means they're not strong enough... Since they're not strong enough, I'll make up for it."

Yili said indifferently, "It's just a simple arithmetic problem."

"Oh my, that's so high-sounding,"

Kita landed on the armrest of the throne, propped up his cheek, and looked at Ichiri with a smile, "Pochi-chan, you just like me, admit it~"

Yili finally gave her a look, a look without much emotion, "Ryo discovered that there is an abnormal fluctuation of spiritual pressure somewhere, you go to investigate."

"Huh? Is that all?"

Xiduo was originally waiting to continue teasing Ichiri, but unexpectedly, he changed the subject and gave her a task. This made her somewhat unhappy, and she muttered, "Really, this is not fun at all..."

Despite her complaints, Kita obediently followed orders and set off. She arrived at the source of the unusual spiritual pressure with ease—Shibuya, Tokyo. The bustling crowds, flashing neon lights, and blaring music were all very much like Tokyo.

"This spiritual pressure... is quite interesting."

Kita closed his eyes and carefully felt the spiritual pressure fluctuations around him. This spiritual pressure was not strong, but it was extremely active, like a beating heart, full of vitality.

Following the guidance of spiritual pressure, Kita arrived at the entrance of a large live house. The deafening music coming from inside, mixed with the screams of fans, made his scalp tingle.

"This is it."

Xiduo bought a ticket and entered the venue through the door.

On the morning stage, a blonde girl was singing with great energy.

"Hoshino Ruby..."

Kita looked at the girl on the stage and whispered the name he saw on the ticket.

Unexpectedly, this seemingly ordinary idol girl would be the source of the abnormal fluctuation of spiritual pressure.

What's so special about this girl?

The more Xiduo watched the live show, the brighter his eyes became.

This Hoshino Ruby was indeed quite interesting. As the song progressed, her spiritual pressure continued to grow, like a gradually expanding flame, emitting strange fluctuations, subtly affecting the audience around her, making them more enthusiastic and more involved.

"What a strange ability..."

Kita stroked his chin, observing with interest. This ability to control emotions was truly not something an ordinary person could possess.

The performance ended and the crowd dispersed. Kita did not follow them, but quietly sneaked backstage.

The backstage was in a mess, and the staff were busy cleaning up. Kita easily avoided the crowd and found Hoshino Ruby's dressing room.

The door was ajar, and Kita pushed it gently and slipped in.

Ruby Hoshino was sitting in front of the makeup mirror removing her makeup. The light on the stage faded, revealing her slightly tired true face.

After removing her makeup, Ruby's spiritual pressure weakened a lot, like a star that was about to go out, emitting a faint light.

Kita hid in the shadows, watching her quietly.

"Should we tie her up and take her back for some research?"

Kita stroked his chin, thinking about this question half seriously. After all, a girl with such a unique spiritual pressure must be something that Ichiri wanted very much.

At this moment, Ruby Hoshino suddenly lay down on the dressing table and started crying softly.

"elder brother……"

She sobbed intermittently, her voice full of sadness and helplessness.

Kita was stunned, took out his phone and searched for Ruby Hoshino's name.

The first piece of news that popped up made Kita reveal a subtle expression.

"Shocking! Popular idol Ruby Hoshino's father is a murderer! Her mother and brother were both murdered!"

The news basically said that Ruby's father planned to kill her mother, and then killed her brother with his own hands, but was finally killed by her brother and both died.

Isn't this person just unlucky?

Kita looked at Ruby crying on the dressing table, and his original kidnapping plan instantly disappeared. Forget it, such a poor little girl, it's better not to make her suffer anymore.

However, this abnormal spiritual pressure still needs to be dealt with.

Kita put away her phone and left the dressing room. She had to find Ryo to make a device to mask the abnormal Reiatsu and protect this poor girl. After all, as long as Ruby continued to emit such abnormal Reiatsu, Ichiri would definitely notice it.

When Kita found Ryo, she was tucked away in a room filled with all sorts of odd parts, fiddling with something that looked like a cross between a rice cooker and a microwave. The room was filled with the smell of motor oil and burnt food, which made Kita frown.

"Look, you're a technical genius after all, can't you just build a ventilation system?"

Kita covered his nose and looked around with disgust.

Without even looking up, Liang muttered incoherently, "A ventilation system? That thing takes up so much space. I'd rather install a few more capacitors."

Kita didn't bother arguing with her. She already knew how to deal with Ryo-senpai, so she got straight to the point: "I've found someone with unusually fluctuating spiritual pressure. I need your help in making a device to mask it."

"Abnormal spiritual pressure? How abnormal is it?"

Liang finally raised his head.

"Although that guy's spiritual pressure isn't strong, it's very active. It can also affect the emotions of those around him, making them more enthusiastic and involved."

Kita didn't say Ruby's name.

Liang paused, finally becoming interested. "Manipulating emotions? That's interesting... Tell me more about the situation."

Kita described in detail what he had seen and heard at the Live House, as well as Hoshino Ruby's background. After listening, Ryo stroked his chin and said thoughtfully, "That sounds like the power of Fullbring."

“Fullbring?”

Kita raised an eyebrow.

"A person who has a Soul King fragment in his body...haven't you read the information Ichiri gave me?"

Liang put down the screwdriver in his hand. "You'd better read more books, Kita. It's better to learn more knowledge than to fight..."

"Ahh, the gas in my house is not turned off-"

Seeing that Ryo was about to start talking about the importance of diplomas again, Kita immediately tried to leave.

Even though he was a descendant of the Golden God and the strongest among the Quincies, Kita was still powerless against Ryo.

——She didn't want to be scolded by Liang for an hour.

Even in the simulation, Kita still has a lot to do.

Chapter 143 Hongxia and Lixi.

Ijichi Hongxia did not chase out to look for Kita.

She didn't have many weapons on her right now, and she wasn't confident she could completely defeat Kita. While she could kill him if necessary, Hongxia wasn't sure... if she really had to.

At least for now, Kita hasn't reached the point where he has to die.

"Are you ok?"

Hongxia turned around and asked Shiina Riki.

She wasn't very familiar with Shiina Riki.

Although Hongxia also knew about the tragedy that happened to Lixi, if she had to take care of every small tragedy like this, she would not be able to sleep.

"...Do you know that guy?"

Li Xi glared at Hong Xia with a fierce look.

Hongxia thought of the Jimmy Henry in Yili's family, who was somewhat similar to Lixi now.

"My relationship with Kita is like your relationship with Shoko."

"...Don't mention that person's name."

Li Xi's expression became visibly worse.

So, Hongxia didn't raise the question again, but simply changed the subject.

"Do you want to continue staying here in the hospital, or go out and find those two Death Gods?"

Li Xi didn't answer, but just got up from the bed and staggered towards the ward door... Only when she reached the door did she turn her head back and say, "Don't follow me."

After saying this, Lixi stumbled out of the hospital. She wandered aimlessly on the street. Passersby gave her strange looks, but she didn't care.

The God of Death, the Quincy... and what Rukia calls "Hollows".

Li Xi's mind is full of these things now.

Of course, the one that occupies the largest share is the "Quincy Plan for All Humanity".

"...Just hearing about this kind of plan, I know it's definitely something bad."

Li Xi's greatest weapon as a detective is her intuition. This isn't to say that Li Xi is guessing when handling cases, but rather that she is able to quickly grasp the crux of the matter – if the extermination of all humanity as Quincy is a good thing, then why would Ye Mu want to silence Li Xi just because she might have heard of the plan?

"Damn..."

Li Xi cursed under her breath and punched a roadside telephone pole, a dull pain in her knuckles. She needed to figure this out, and Rukia, the girl who called herself the God of Death, was her only clue. "What's this Quincy Plan for All Humanity..."

Next, I have to find Rukia...

"Don't you have Death's phone number?"

The voice came from in front of Lixi.

Li Xi looked up and saw Hong Xia standing in front of him. She was holding a bag of crepes and an unopened bottle of Coke.

Hongxia handed the crepe towards Lixi.
