Bleach: Traveling through Soi-Fong, Starting from Bankai

It's highly likely that Mayuri could completely metabolize that large bucket of purified caffeine if he ate it as a meal.

Furthermore, Soi-Fong herself was extremely tired, so she gave up her desire to complain and said:

"I came to ask you about Urahara Kisuke."

"Especially regarding his research."

"Oh?"

After hearing this, Kurotsuchi Mayuri was no longer sleepy.

He raised the can of caffeine, turned around and said:

"That's a very long story. I'm afraid it will take all night."

"I suggest you get some caffeine first."

What do you call that?

Broken Bee rolled her eyes and waved her hands:

"I don't want to drink. Just keep your words short."

"I'm in a hurry to get back to bed."

Kurotsuchi Mayuri sighed, shook his head and said to himself, "What a pity."

Put the diuretic in your other hand back in the cabinet.

He sat up on the sofa opposite Soi Feng, drinking his caffeine dilution while asking:

"Tell me, what kind of research do you want to know about that man?"

He pointed at Akin who was standing beside him:

"Although we didn't get along with that man, we still followed him for nine years and went through the early days of the Technology Development Bureau together."

"We are all involved in his research at this stage."

Ajin nodded in agreement.

Soi Feng shook her head and said:

"not necessarily."

"What I want to ask is..."

She pointed to the room where [Mian No. 7] was located:

"Artificial soul."

Kurotsuchi Mayuri's expression changed.

Without giving him a chance to ask further questions, Soi-Feng added:

"Moreover, it is a mature artificial soul."

"Possessing an unexpected lifespan, complete intelligence, and innate spiritual power..."

"—even enough to make a humanoid soul into a god of death."

Looking at Kurotsuchi Mayuri's livid face, Soi Fong asked:

"Has Urahara Kisuke ever done research of this type?"

With a "crack", the glass in Kurotsuchi Mayuri's hand was crushed by him.

He ignored the sticky artificial blood that kept flowing from his palm and stared at Suifeng.

"Did Urahara Kisuke, that man, tell you?"

"Or……"

He stood up, his eyes wide open with bloodshot eyes:

"You went to the present world and saw the finished product?"

"Oh yeah? You're pretty well-informed, aren't you?"

Soi Fong went to the human world, and the reason given to the outside world was to search for the defected captain-level Shinigami.

But this statement is only open to captains, and vice-captain Mayuri Kurotsuchi should not know about it.

Although he is already the acting captain of the 12th Division, the power of this position is only effective when it comes to the 12th Division.

The captain of the 11th Division was dispatched to the real world to carry out a secret mission.

As for matters concerning other divisions, Mayuri Kurotsuchi only had the right to know the information at the vice-captain level.

But Kurotsuchi Mayuri not only knew it, but he could also infer it from what he just said.

This guy has known for a long time that Urahara Kisuke is hiding in the real world.

"As expected of an old creature who has lived for hundreds of years... He really shouldn't be underestimated."

Soi Fong thought to herself, but on the surface she looked at Kurotsuchi Mayuri calmly.

After being stung by Soi-ho, Kurotsuchi Mayuri sat down and explained:

"...The Technology Development Bureau can monitor the Broken Boundary."

"The guidance information of the Hell Butterfly is also collected, calculated, and archived here."

"As the director, it's normal for me to know the trends."

I believe you!

Soi-Fong had no idea of it, but it didn't matter.

What she wanted was not the truth, but an explanation from Kurotsuchi Mayuri, which represented a submissive attitude.

This guy has a high IQ and is very rebellious.

If you don't maintain a high-pressure and superior attitude when dealing with him, it's easy for him to treat you perfunctorily and scheme against you.

In crucial conversations, it becomes crucial for Shattered Bee to take the initiative.

Seeing Kurotsuchi Mayuri back down, Soi Fong said:

"As you guessed, I should have seen the finished product."

"Although he is young, he has already grown into adolescence."

"I've observed her spiritual power. Given time, she might become a Shinigami or even a captain."

"Snapped!"

Kurotsuchi Mayuri slammed the table.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!!"

He was breathing heavily, and his eyes were twitching and spinning, unable to focus.

Soi Feng wasn't surprised.

Her plan this time was to stimulate Kurotsuchi Mayuri and make him reveal more information.

The [Sleeping Plan] has been implemented for many years, and Kurotsuchi Mayuri has also been studying it hard for many years.

This is how [Mian No. 7] came into being, finally exceeding the lifespan limit that the previous six could reach.

But now, Soi-Feng told him:

Kisuke Urahara, the guy who had suppressed him for almost ten years.

They actually developed a mature artificial soul that reached puberty?

He even possesses enough spiritual power to become a god of death?

This is undoubtedly a denial of Kurotsuchi Mayuri's talent!!

Kurotsuchi gritted his teeth:

"This guy said he wasn't interested in this and wouldn't delve into the art of artificial bodies and artificial souls..."

"It turns out that all the experiments he conducted secretly were to steal my research direction!!"

Soi Feng's eyes lit up, and she seized the opportunity to quickly ask for details.

Based on the narration by Kurotsuchi Mayuri and the supplement by Akon.

Only then did Soi Feng realize that the original Technology Development Bureau had established three technology development directions.

Mayuri Kurotsuchi took over the technical direction of Hikifune Kiryu and was responsible for the breakthrough development of the righteous soul and righteous corpse.

According to him, this route originally came from Shutara Senjumaru, and he himself has a deep connection with it, so it was just right for him to pick it up.

Although Akon is young, he has a great talent for monitoring fluctuations in spiritual pressure.

With reference to the technology of the present world, he is responsible for the research of communication technology and radio wave measurement in the Soul Society.

And finally, there was Urahara Kisuke——

Chapter 149 Are you taking kendo lessons too?

"That guy may be annoying, but he's a visionary."

Mayuri Kurotsuchi calmed down a little, and told Soi Fong about the past of the Technical Development Bureau.

"He said that technological development must not only develop practical new technologies that benefit both the Shinigami and Soul Society at the application level."

"We should also shoulder the responsibility of exploring the forefront of soul science."

Broken Bee frowned:

"so?"

"So, that man is responsible for this direction."

Kurotsuchi Mayuri unconsciously sat up straight, his tone becoming more serious.

"To study the nature of the soul."

"He intends to start his research by studying the souls of the dead."

"He's been working on this for almost ten years, and I haven't heard of any progress."

Kurotsuchi Mayuri snorted.

"This guy, I'm afraid he's using this as an excuse to secretly come up with some results, but he's keeping it secret and not telling anyone!"

Akin added:

"During those years, the director and I had to submit experimental reports every month."

"Urahara-sama is in control of our research progress."

Kurotsuchi Mayuri said angrily:

"Hmph! This guy must have stolen my technique around this time!!"

"But Director, didn't you tell me that the data had to be tampered with before the lab report was submitted..."

"Akin, shut up!"

Kuroda Mayuri was a little furious and grabbed Akon's mouth.

Soi Fong felt a little heavy-hearted. According to what the two said, it was very likely that Urahara Kisuke was researching artificial souls.

Even though it was not his main direction, he rubbed the [Broken Jade] with his hands and roughly grasped the righteous soul and righteous body techniques on Nirvana's side.

It is easy to attack from a higher dimension and use the power of jade collapse to solve the technical bottlenecks encountered by Nirvana.

With a large amount of research resources at his disposal, given Urahara's personality, it would be hard for him not to try his hand at the field of artificial souls.

"Well, we still have to find Rukia as soon as possible!"

Previously, Soi Fong still had some hope, but now she is roughly certain that the Hime sisters are most likely artificial souls.

Then there is a high probability that the Hogyoku is also hidden in Rukia's body!

It’s okay if you don’t know, but once you know, it’s hard for Soi-Fong to ignore it.

Especially for a powerful weapon like [Hougyoku], it is not a good thing to let it wander around in Rukongai.

At the very least, he had to bring her to his side so that no one else, especially Aizen, would find out.

Soi Fong speculated that Urahara hid the Hogyoku in Rukia's body, most likely to suppress the impact of the Hogyoku's ability on the surrounding environment.
