Death: No cheats, take refuge in Aizen

Chapter 128 126. Investigation and Protection Arrangements

"So, Kyoraku Shunsui asked us to protect Shiba Haiyan?"

In the spacious basement, Liu Che Quan XiZhi asked temperamentally.

Returning to the present world, Higashino Shuichi immediately told everyone in the present world what Kyoraku Shunsui meant and part of the information he had obtained at Nirvana.

Except for my own guesses.

"No wonder you dare to speak out loud directly near us. Kyoraku Shunsui must have said hello to Ukitake Jushiro in advance, right?"

Urahara Kisuke looked at Higashino Shuichi and said.

"Yes, otherwise I would definitely find a place to speak blackly, and then find a way to sneak back."

Higashino Shuichi answered with a shrug.

This is where the black cavity is inconvenient compared to the world-crossing gate. The former is too loud and can be detected and locked by the monitoring equipment of Soul Society at once.

"Hey, hey, you two, that's enough. Is it time to discuss this issue now? Shouldn't it be about whether we should protect Shiba Haiyan?"

Rokusha Kennishi on the side quickly interrupted the conversation between Urahara Kisuke and Higashino Shuichi.

"The future head of the Shiba family," Mako Hirako, who was sitting next to Rokusha Kensai and had mastered the virtualization and successfully awakened, said hesitantly. At the same time, he looked at Shifouin Yoruichi opposite, who was rarely in human form, "Kyo Le Chunshui, is this a statement? If we can successfully protect Shiba Haiyan, can we return to Soul Society?

After all, according to Shuichi's description, Shunsui should also know by now that virtualization can be perfectly controlled by us. "

"I'm afraid this will be difficult," before Shifouin Yoruichi spoke, Urahara Kisuke, who was sitting on her right, replied directly, "Shunsui's approach can only represent his personal attitude and that of Ukitake Jūshirō. , it is still impossible to influence the captain."

Sifengyuan Ye nodded in agreement, "Everyone must be well aware of the character of the captain. Since we have all been identified as rebel Death Gods, there is no possibility of going back on our word.

Unless we can prove that the events that day were not really done by us, but were led by Sosuke Aizen, controlling the Hollow alone will not be enough to change the captain's mind. "

"Then why are you asking us to protect Shiba Haiyan without giving us any benefits?"

Hiyori Sarugaki, the former deputy captain of the 12th Division, put one foot on the stool and said rather dissatisfiedly.

Among all the Hollow Death Gods in the world, she is the one who is the most dissatisfied with Soul Society's handling of the last incident.

"It can't be said that there are no benefits at all. At least with the captain's endorsement and help, we will have direct access to Shiba Haiyan. If we can pass this protection, we can gain the recognition of the Shiba family, one of the five nobles, and at the same time let When Soul Society sees our attitude, there may not be a chance of returning to Soul Society."

Lisa Yasomaru, the former vice-captain of the eighth division, who was sitting on the left side of Shifouin Yoruichi, pushed her pink-rimmed eyes and analyzed.

"Then what else is there to discuss? I am the first to agree to go!"

When Rukuka Kensai heard that there was a chance to return to Soul Society, he couldn't sit still. He really didn't want to stay in this world for a moment, he just wanted to go back and beat up Sosuke Aizen.

However, after Liu Che Quan Xi finished speaking, he found that no one in the room agreed with him.

"What? No one wants to go back to Soul Society?"

Liu Che Quan Xi asked in confusion.

"It's not that I don't want to go back, but protecting Shiba Haiyan in this world may not be a difficult task for other Shinigami, but for people like us, it is a bit difficult."

Higashino Shuichi explained.

"Why is it so difficult? We all have mastered the virtualization now. In non-combat state, everyone is still the same as the original Shinigami. It is just a matter of the length of time everyone has been virtual. In terms of combat effectiveness, we are better than Were you stronger before?"

Liu Che Quan Xi asked in confusion.

"Are you stupid? We usually wear prosthetics when we go out. You won't forget the effects of prosthetics, right?"

Jiunabai, who was sitting next to Liu Che Quan Xi, gave Liu Che Quan Xi a hard roll of his eyes.

"Isn't it possible to make us like human beings in this world?"

Liu Che Quan Xi said confused.

After listening, Jiu Nanbai had a helpless expression as expected, and put a hand on his forehead.

Even she, the vice-captain, felt embarrassed for her former captain.

"The other function of the righteous bones is to help us isolate the spiritual energy from the outside world. In this case, even if we are outside without the protection of the barrier set up by Kisuke, those monitoring devices from the Soul Society will not be able to detect the presence of our spiritual pressure. of.

In this case, although we can still transmit our own souls through the body of justice, as long as we do not remove the body of justice, we will never be supplemented by the souls of the outside world, let alone perceive other people. There are reiatsu users.

The "spiritual sense" we usually use subconsciously in battle will also be severely interfered with.

And even if we really have to unload our spiritual bodies, with our current status, it is not easy to directly show up as a god of death. Otherwise, what will the Soul Society think of us?

In other words, if something unexpected happens, there is a high probability that we will only be able to show up in the form of a void, disguising ourselves as an Achucas-level void.

At least, in the entire Soul Society now, except for Aizen Sosuke, there should be no other Shinigami who has seen your posture and spiritual pressure after being hollowed out.

But if this happens, our true combat effectiveness will be questioned. "

Shuichi Higashino explained for Rokukaru Kensai.

This is only the situation of others. Higashino Shuichi himself is even worse, because his virtual form is also famous on the Soul Society list. Therefore, if Higashino Shuichi wants to fight openly and honestly in this world, he can only arrange it in advance. The spiritual pressure shielding barrier with space attributes created by Urahara Kisuke will do.

This will be more cumbersome and troublesome.

Fortunately, Higashino Shuichi has his own advantages compared to others, that is, he has been able to restrain his own spiritual pressure on the Zanpakutō. He can also pose a considerable threat to most enemies by relying only on his slicing skills. .

"Then this won't work, that won't work either, then what nonsense are we talking about? Why don't we just stop protecting Shiba Haiyan? Soul Society's own affairs can be solved by ourselves, right?

We still follow the original plan, first mention the incorporation time, and then take advantage of the fact that our upper limit of spiritual pressure has increased, and then mention our spiritual pressure, and try to go back and fuck Aizen one day! "

After listening to this, Roku Che Kensai was full of complaints. When would he, a former captain of Division 9, have to suffer such cowardice?

It's a pity that the person talking in this room is obviously not Rukuka Kennishi. After thinking about it for a while, Urahara Kisuke finally made the decision.

"Shiba Haiyan must be protected. Lisa is right. If we can fight for the Shiba family, one of the five nobles, it is best to fight for it. This is definitely the only way for us to uncover Aizen's conspiracy in the future. There is no downside to the benefits.

But we can't be so passive and be led by others. What if this is another trap set by Aizen for us? "

"So Kisuke, what do you think?"

Hearing the word Aizen, Hobashiro No. 11, who was sitting next to Urahara Kisuke, immediately asked.

If we want to say who hates Aizen Sosuke the most among all the people present, it must be him.

Because he was the only one who saw with his own eyes that his vice-captain, Archer Qiantetsu, who had a very good relationship with him and could even be said to be a family member, was killed by Aizen in front of him with just a finger.

Urahara Kisuke looked around at everyone present, and finally fixed his gaze on Higashino Shuichi, who was sitting opposite him.

"My idea is to divide the troops into three groups.

Shuichi-kun, you are responsible for the whole journey, leading Kennishi-kun, Matsumoto Rangiku, Kisaragi Suisuke, Miss Sayako, and Miss Nagasawa Rimi, the human perfectionist, to protect Shiba Petrel, which is too inconvenient to use in this world. Fighting with strong spiritual pressure will cause the world's environment to collapse, so having too many captains there actually doesn't mean much;

For the second leg, I want Yoruichi to be in charge and take everyone else except Tessai and me to trace the origin of the armored samurai.

Didn’t Shuichi-kun say that? The armored warrior was also part of the deal. Since it was man-made, it must have a source.

I can't guarantee that that place will definitely be the source of the missing incident in Soul Society, but there must be a close relationship between the two.

As for the last third route, I will go to the west with Tessai to check out the Western Bureau. I am personally very interested in the captain of the Western Bureau development team and want to know what he took from me. How much information, after such a long time, has researched something new. "

"Three-way?"

Higashino Shuichi did not expect that Urahara Kisuke was far bolder than he imagined, and this personnel allocation

It is difficult for Higashino Shuichi to say that there is no selfishness from Urahara Kisuke in this. It is obvious that among the three routes, protecting Shiba Haiyan is the most laborious and troublesome part. And the personnel of Higashino Shuichi's route are basically the same as Higashino Shuichi. Very good person.

It can be said that it is used easily to take care of Higashino Shuichi, or it can be said that it is separated intentionally.

However, this was in line with Higashino Shuichi's own wishes. He himself did not want to act with Urahara Kisuke. Being able to go out alone with people he was familiar with made it easier for him to act alone.

Not to mention, according to Higashino Shuichi's own judgment, the main source of threats to Shiba Haiyan and his investigation team this time should be those Fullbringers in this world.

Otherwise, at a time when Soul Society has just experienced a major reshuffle of strength, where else can such a team of Shinigami be found within Soul Society that can threaten an investigation team led by a deputy-captain-level Shinigami?

And just as Higashino Shuichi and the others were intensively arranging future arrangements, a selection was also going on in Soul Society's Seireitei.

On the edge of the huge training ground, the words "Soul Society Living Investigation Team Selection Contest" were written on a huge banner.

"Little bald head, come on!"

On the sidelines, due to the defection of the former vice-captain Higashino Shuichi, the former vice-captain Kusuka Yachiru, who had only been serving as the captain's assistant but still had his butt warmed up, became the vice-captain of the 11th Division again. At this moment, she was cheering for the very fierce newcomer Bald Death in the middle of the field.

I saw the bald Shinigami slashing his opponent away with a sword, and then yelling manically at Kusuka Yachiru: "How many times have I told you, my name is not the little bald man! Your uncle, my name is Madarame A corner!!”

"Okay! Little Baldhead! I understand, I'll call you Baldhead from now on!"

Kusaka Yachiru waved two small pink flags that Higashino Shuichi had given her before, and shouted happily.

"It's better to call him Little Baldy!"

A vein popped out on Madarame's head.

At this time, the battle on the other side also decided the outcome.

"The battle is over, Yumichika Ayasegawa wins the final victory!"

Compared to the miserable appearance of Madarame's opponent, Yumichika Ayasekawa's side looks much better, at least the opponent can stand up on his own.

"Wow, I didn't expect that in the end it was Little Baldy and Little Peacock, you two newcomers who won the final victory~"

Just when Madarame Kakkaku turned around to celebrate his friend, Kusuka Yachiryu's voice suddenly came from above his head. It turned out that in the short period of time when Madarame Kazuo turned around, Kusuka Yachiryu came from On the stand, he landed lightly on Madarame's back.

"Ah~!! Come down here quickly!"

Madarame Ikkaku felt that he was going to be driven crazy by this little girl who seemed a little helpless, but this girl was actually the vice-captain of the 11th Division. She inherited the man who made him think about the man day and night. Position man.

"Vice Captain Caolu, I didn't expect you to come to watch our inferior game."

After Yumichika Ayasekawa finished the game, she walked straight towards Madarame Ikkaku and witnessed Madarame Ikkaku desperately trying to catch the Kusuka Yachiru on him, but he was always able to be dexterously dodged by the latter. Finally, he could only let Kusuka Yachiru lie on his back as if resigned to his fate, holding his smooth head with a pair of small hands.

Based on this alone, Yumichika Ayasekawa knew that the harmless-looking little girl in front of him definitely had the strength to match his status as vice-captain.

"Isn't it good? How could it be? Xiao Xiuyi once said that the real strong men are trained through battles again and again. The winner of any competition is worthy of respect~

And using this kind of competition to select candidates was also proposed by Xiao Xiuyi~

It's a pity that Xiao Xiuyi is no longer here, otherwise he would definitely be happy to accompany you winners to play another round! "

"Really? That man is indeed as passionate as me!

I can't wait to play with him again! "

When Madarame heard this, his eyes lit up with excitement.

"That would be troublesome. Xiao Shuichi has defected to the present world." Kusaka Yachiru, who was lying on Madarame's back, made a regretful expression, and then quickly showed a sly smile, "But this time you After winning the selection competition, don't you have to follow the investigation team to the present world? If you work hard in the present world, you might be able to find Xiaoxiu in the present world~"

"really?"

When Madarame heard this, he became even more excited. After all, the reason why he chose to come to the 11th Division was because of the man named Higashino Shuichi.

Originally, he and Yumichika Ayasekawa planned to go to the Fourth Division. Unfortunately, the Fourth Division only had graduates of the Mao Spiritual Arts Academy, and they had no interest in wild people like them who had never attended the Mao Spiritual Arts Academy. interest.

So Ikkaku Madarame took Yumichika Ayasekawa and signed up for Mao Spiritual Arts Academy together. Who would have thought that as soon as they signed up, they heard the news that Higashino Shuichi had been appointed as the deputy captain of the 11th Division.

Then Madarame Ikkaku rushed over with Yumichika Ayasekawa to join the 11th Division.

However, when the two of them finally passed the examination, Higashino Shuichi had already defected, and the two of them missed the point again.

Now he suddenly heard that there was still a chance to find Higashino Shuichi in this world, which made Madarame Ikkaku's fiery heart start to move again.

Only Yumichika Ayasegawa on the side could see the undisguised change of expression on Kusuka Yachiru's face.

Obviously, Kusuka Yachiru's purpose is not simple. Yumichika Ayasekawa, who has been in the 11th Division for more than two years, is also very knowledgeable about their captain's combat attributes. He is a close friend of Madarame Ikkaku. Compared to that, there is even more fighting madness.

Most of the Shinigami had heard about the defeat of their captain by Higashino Shuichi two years ago, so they thought that the vice-captain in front of him probably wanted to borrow their hands to find Higashino Shuichi, so that he could Captain Zaraki came to this world to take revenge.

Ayasekawa Yumichika was not too worried about this, because in his memory, Higashino Hideichi was always a kind-hearted Shinigami, and he was very measured in doing things. After coming to Seireitei and becoming a Shinigami, In the past two years, most of the rumors he had heard were like this.

Even if the adult defected under the huge pressure two years ago, the ultimate move he unleashed at the last moment proved to not cause many casualties.

Therefore, Ayasekawa Yumichika is actually not worried about the serious consequences of Madarame's actions.

Besides, the current world is so big, how could that person be found by Madarame Ikkaku so coincidentally?

How can such a coincidence happen?

"Speaking of which, Vice Captain Kusanolu, I heard that the circumstances of this investigation into the present world are somewhat special, so every member of the investigation team will be required to wear a piece of equipment recently developed by the Technology Development Bureau. Is it right?"

In contrast, Yumichika Ayasekawa is still more concerned about their mission in this world.

Although it was just an investigation into a simple theft case, in the past, such investigations were straightforward, and it was rare for all Shinigami to be forced to wear a certain piece of equipment.

"Hmm, it seems to be something called a human body, right? That thing allows you to wear it and become like a human being in the real world.

Because I heard that the objects of this investigation may involve some special human beings in this world. If you approach them rashly as a god of death, it may cause them some unnecessary misunderstandings and disturb your target. Therefore, the eighth team’s Jing The band leader forces each of you members of the investigation team to first disguise themselves as humans to conduct investigations~"

Kusuka Yachiru nodded and replied that all this information is public, so there is no problem in telling Ayasekawa Yumichika in advance.

"Special human being?"

After hearing this, Yumichika Ayasekawa fell into deep thought. He had a vague hunch that this investigation might not be as simple as the captains said.
