Death: No cheats, take refuge in Aizen

Chapter 140 138. Where did these Quincy come from?

How do you kill yourself in a fictional future?

This is the question that Higashino Shuichi has thought about the most since he became the captain of the 11th Squadron in this fictional future.

Because after all, this is an ability beyond his cognition, and there is no past experience that can be used as a reference.

Fortunately, the arrogant character created at the beginning is enough to support Higashino Shuichi's inhumanity for a period of time, and he can remain sufficiently wary of anyone who wants to get close to him.

And Akimi didn't seem to intend to keep Higashino Shuichi waiting for long.

Just three days after Higashino Shuichi became the captain of the 11th Division, a group of uninvited guests broke into the Seireitei like ghosts without triggering any alarms, and their only target was Higashino Shuichi.

Sitting in the captain's lounge in the 11th Division team building, Higashino Shuichi was a little surprised when he looked at the three "guests" who suddenly appeared in front of him, with uniform white hooded long cloaks behind them.

"Is your first target me?"

Higashino Shuichi was not surprised by the appearance of these Quincy, but he was surprised that the first person they came to was him.

Logically speaking, even if Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni was killed due to an accident, these people should go directly to the current captain Kyoraku Shunsui.

But they were the first to find themselves, whose official identity was that they had just returned from hell.

Higashino Shuichi could only think of one explanation for this, and that was that the person behind the scenes who designed and arranged the Quincy invasion in this fictional future knew his identity very well.

And in this fictional future, who else knows his identity?

You shouldn't have put a Hasward skin on yourself, right? Qiushi.

Higashino Shuichi thought with a headache.

This is still a relatively good result. If Qiushi had put Yhwach's skin on himself, it would have been really difficult.

"It sounds like you know our identities very well?"

Among the three "guests", the tall man with long black hair parted in the middle, no eyebrows, and a black mask with multiple cones on the surface covered his face below the eyes, facing Higashino Shuichi Said proudly.

"That's right. For example, I know that you come from the shadow of the Seireitei, and I also know that you are all Quincy and belong to the Invisible Empire Star Cross Knights that you call yourself."

Higashino Shuichi stood up from his seat as he spoke. At the same time, the members of the Three-faced Star Cross Knights standing opposite him had expressions of incredible shock on their faces.

"For another example, I also know that your name is Ace Nott, code-named F. The guy on your left with short black hair and beautiful eyes is named Cangdu, code-named I, and the guy standing on your right is Cangdu. The guy next to me looks like a big lump of iron. If I remember correctly, his name is B.J. Quinn, right?

As for the code name, it should be K, right? "

"Who are you! Why do you know so much about us!"

If, just a few seconds ago, Ace Nott was full of arrogance towards Higashino Shuichi, the Death Captain, then now he is full of fear.

That is the psychological fear of being completely seen through by the enemy.

"It doesn't matter who I am. What's important is that you are here as guests at Seireitei today, so you don't have to think about going back. As the new captain of the 11th Division, I am still very hospitable!"

After saying that, Higashino Hideichi disappeared from the place, released his spiritual pressure, landed in front of Ace Nott, and swung out a caressing slash. While the latter was still stunned, he ended his short appearance with a knife.

At the same moment, almost most of the Shinigami in the entire Seireitei felt Higashino Shuichi's majestic and undisguised spiritual pressure.

"Captain, Captain Higashino, who is he?"

In the first team building, Kyoraku Shunsui followed Kyoraku Shunsui to the first team. Ise Nanao, who served as the captain's assistant, pushed up his glasses, glanced worriedly in the direction of the eleventh team and said,

From the beginning, she had been opposed to Kyōraku Shunsui simply appointing a Shinigami who appeared out of nowhere to serve as the captain of the 11th Division during this sensitive post-war period.

"Go and see!"

Regarding this, Jingraku Shunsui was also filled with confusion.

He believed in his own judgment about Higashino Shuichi. This was a Shinigami who still had a certain sense of belonging to Soul Society. Otherwise, his battle with Madarame Ikkaku and others would not have been so restrained.

But what happens now?

Openly releasing all of one's spiritual pressure in the Seireitei is no longer just an illegal act.

There are also many Shinigami who have similar ideas to Kyoraku Shunsui, and some of them move faster. That is, after the battle in Karakura Town, he returned to Soul Society and took the captain from the former captain of the second division, Zhihou. The current captain of the second division, Yoruichi Shihoin, took over the position again.

"That is."

But when Si Fengyuan Ye Yi rushed to the battlefield, she was stunned for the first time.

Then why are the two people fighting Higashino Kenpachi using Quincy abilities?

No, the question should be, why did the captains like them not receive any warning when a Quincy broke into the Seireitei?

"Flying Sickle Kick!"

"Gatling!"

Cang Du and Bi Jie Quinn could no longer care about the reminder that they had been specially instructed by the group leader to fight quickly before coming.

Because they discovered that the Death God they were going to deal with this time was not only a little too strong, but also seemed to know them too well.

Until now in this battle, the Death God Captain has not released his Zanpakutō from the beginning to the end, but simply uses slicing techniques and Kidō to fight.

This makes the stars they specially prepared for these Death Captains completely useless.

So much so that both of them are now forced to fight using their Quincy's final form, the Perfect Saint.

But even if both of them had activated the Holy Body, it seemed that they would not be able to defeat the Death Captain for a while.

Li Fuzhao!

Thanks to his previous needs in real-life battles, Higashino Shuichi was forced to use his powerful control over spiritual beings, and developed the second form of Fu Zhan, which compresses both spiritual pressure and spiritual beings into the blade to the extreme.

Compared to the original Fu Zhan, which pursues unparalleled destructive power, the form developed by Higashino Shuichi is more repressive and unreachable.

That was because countless souls gathered together and finally completed the collapse slash. Even though Cangdu and Quinn immediately avoided the slash route, they found that their bodies seemed unable to move. Got it

"No, it's not that I can't move."

Cangdu's forehead was dripping with sweat, because he found that even if he used his flying sickle kick to the extreme, he could not stay away from the space that had just been cut open by the death captain named Higashino Shuichi from the opposite side.

That space was like a black hole, constantly emitting a fatal attraction to attract him away.

Although, as the stalemate lasted longer, the split space seemed to be gradually weakening and closing, however.

Higashino Shuichi is a person who adds insult to injury.

He took one step forward and came to Cangdu.

No unnecessary movements are required, just raise the Zanpakutō above your head and then drop it quickly.

"Realm of Shadows!"

When Quinn on the other side saw this, he immediately controlled the spirit to inject into the shadows of the two of them.

Under normal circumstances, Cangdu could use this moment to hide in Quinn's shadow. However, the space created by Higashino Shuichi not only pulled Cangdu and Quinn's bodies, but also their spirits.

Therefore, Cangdu's movement to hide in the shadow was still half a beat too slow.

"ah!"

Cangdu screamed in pain, and an arm fell from mid-air.

His right arm was easily cut off by Higashino Shuichi.

"This move."

Standing on the rooftop in the distance, Shifouin Yoruichi stopped the other Shinigami team members from rushing over to support him. Looking at Higashino Shuichi's "execution" of Aodu, he couldn't help but think of the former captain in his mind. .

No matter how much grudges and misunderstandings there were between them in the past, all of them disappeared after his death in battle that day.

I originally thought that the captain's moves would be lost because of this, but I didn't expect to see him again in this way.

However, it seemed that the time had come for her to take action in this matter.

Yoruichi Shifouin watched Higashino Shuichi turn his head and attack the Quincy named Quinn, even though the latter seemed to see through Higashino Shuichi's actions, he could make the most correct response every time.

But being able to see through it never means being able to deal with it.

Obviously, Quinn's body movements couldn't keep up with his head.

Therefore, after persisting for a few more minutes, his left leg was cut off by Higashino Shuichi.

And this also means the beginning of its collapse.

"Eighty One of the Binding Dao, Duan Kong!"

A transparent spirit wall suddenly appeared between Higashino Shuichi and Na Quinn, but it was not to protect Higashino Shuichi from Quinn's attack, but was specially used by Shifengyuan Yoruichi to protect the two named Quinn. and the Quincy of Cangdu.

"What do you mean? Captain Sifengyuan?"

Facing Shifengyuan Yoruichi's attack, Higashino Shuichi naturally could not continue to attack without hesitation.

"You can't kill these two people yet. Leave them alive and ask them how they sneaked into the Seireitei. The key is to ask them!"

Yoichi Shifengin said half of it, and the other half was that she wanted to know, what on earth are these Quincys doing?

What's the matter with the special form of the people in Cangdu? Even as the head of the Shifengyuan family, one of the five nobles, Shifengyuan Yoruichi has never seen a Quincy with this special form. .

Could it be that the remaining Quincy in the present world are in trouble again?

This is not good news for Shifouin Yoruichi, who has just experienced the Karakura Town battle with Kurosaki Ichigo, Ishida Uryu and the others.

Because if this was really related to the Quincy in the world, even she would not be able to stop other nobles from the Soul Society from joining forces to attack the remaining Quincies in the world.

Among them, people like Kurosaki Ichigo and Ishida Uryu, who are the sons of the Quincy, are definitely inseparable.

"That makes sense, but Captain Sifengyuan, the problem now is probably how we are going to find them."

Seeing Aangdu and Quinn with his own eyes, Higashino Shuichi was pulled back from the shadow by two pairs of big hands just as Shifouin Yoruichi was talking to him. After taking back his Zanpakutō, he spread his hands and said.

This result was not what Higashino Shuichi had expected.

Except for the previous Ace Nott who was completely caught off guard by him, Higashino Shuichi believed that those in the Invisible Empire must be paying attention to the situation in Soul Society at the moment and would definitely not let him succeed easily again. .

Therefore, even if there was no such thing as Shifengyuan Yoruichi, Higashino Shuichi estimated that those people in the shadow would take action and take Cangdu two people back by force.

"What?!"

But this was a bit of a slap in the face for Si Fengyuan Ye Yi.

At least from the surface, it was her intervention that caused the two Quincy to escape.

If Yoruichi Sihoin didn't have the identity of the head of the Sihoin family and the identity of the captain, Higashino Shuichi estimated that Yoruichi Sihoin would have taken a one-day trip to Central Room 46 afterwards.

"They were dragged into the shadows. If I guessed correctly, this is how they entered the Seireitei, right?"

Fortunately, at this time, because Higashino Shuichi had used his spiritual pressure without concealment, several captains had gathered outside the 11th Division team building, and among them was the current Gotei who came with his assistant. Kyōraku Shunsui, the commander-in-chief of the Thirteenth Division, after seeing the way Cangdu and the two escaped, he directly revealed the mystery.

In this regard, Higashino Shuichi nodded unequivocally, "I agree with your idea, Captain. At that time, I was handling team affairs in the captain's lounge, and these three Quincy suddenly appeared in my room without any prior notice. Any sign.

If you emerge from the shadows, you can indeed do this.

And in the battle just now, the two Quincy showed extremely superb skills in using shadows.

One can be said to be a coincidence, but if there are two, I have reason to believe that they have a systematic training method. "

"So, according to Higashino Kenpachi, do you think they are hiding in our shadow?"

Kyoraku Shunsui rarely had a playful smile on his face, but looked at Higashino Shuichi with a serious face and said.

Kyōraku Shunsui had a certain degree of trust in this mysterious god of death who had nominally followed the Kabutuma family for hundreds of years.

After all, even he, the commander-in-chief, is not qualified to inspect everything.

In a place like the Great Spirit Book Corridor, if there is no necessary business, he is not qualified to review it for a long time.

As a retainer of the Kabutuma family, one of the five nobles, he is still the one who follows the hell branch all year round. Considering that all the members of the Kabutuma family in Soul Society have died, the Shinigami (from Higashino) was specially sent back in order to maintain their influence. Shuichi's carefully woven identity), Higashino Shuichi himself has the qualifications to access some secrets.

"I don't know, but I have always believed in one sentence. Regarding potential dangers, it is better to believe that they exist than to believe that they do not exist. Since there is such a possibility before us now, then make this assumption and invest in it. It’s not a bad idea to have certain resources for practice. At least, we don’t have any capital on hand now, right?”

As he said that, Higashino turned his head and looked at the corpse on the ground not far away, Ace Nott, the man who was killed by Higashino Hideyoshi from the beginning.

"Oh, indeed, I overcomplicated things." After being pointed out by Higashino Shuichi, Kyoryu Shunsui also smiled self-deprecatingly. He found that since he became the captain, he has also begun to worry about gains and losses. The current Soul Society cannot withstand another big toss. Instead of making a plan and then taking action, it is better to act first, as Higashino Shuichi said. If there is a gain, it is best. If there is no gain, they will not lose. Too much stuff.

And watching Higashino Shuichi and Kyoraku Shunsui preliminarily decide on the final outcome of this matter while singing along, Shifouin Yoruichi stood in the middle, feeling like an outsider.

Therefore, such a prelude to the invasion of the invisible empire that should have caused huge waves in Soul Society failed to cause enough waves among the vast group of Shinigami because it picked the wrong target. Only captain-level Shinigami can From these Quincy with their unique forms, there is a hint of the coming rain.
