Return of the Mask

When I got home, it was already late.

Gennai's mother was startled when she saw Zhishu's drowsy appearance, and thought that something had happened. Yinshu told her that Zhishu just fell asleep after playing too tired, and then went upstairs with Zhishu in her arms.

Opening the door, turning on the light, Yin Shu lightly hugged Zhi Shu to the bed.Helping her take off her shoes, Yinshu covered her with a quilt, then looked at her sleeping face and sighed.

Zhishu is very smart.

Maybe she didn't understand what happened at the time, but Yinshu felt that she might have felt uneasy.

During these days with Zhishu, she has seen a lot of emotions in Zhishu's eyes, but it has never been like today.However...even so, what could she do?Not to mention that she is not the real Gennai Yinshu, and she is not human.

Maybe she can stay in this house for a few more days for Zhishu, but how long can she stay?She was going to leave after all, she couldn't be with them from now until they died.

The identity of Gennai Otoki should have disappeared as early as the day she fell down the stairs.

Walking out of Zhishu's room, closing the door, Yinshu returned to his own room.

However, just as she was about to turn on the light, she suddenly stopped and frowned.

A knife lay across her neck.

Slowly closing the door with his hand, Yinshu said: "May I ask you what you want...Death?"

"You..." The man in front of him who was wearing a deadly costume and holding a Zanpakuto hesitated, "You killed Xu, on that day?"

Seems to be the Grim Reaper who runs the district.

Yinshu nodded.

Because the lights in the room were not turned on, and the night outside the window had already fallen, the room was dark.

Yinshu couldn't see the other party's face, and presumably the other party couldn't see her either.

She just felt that the voice was a little familiar.

"Gennai... Yinshu?" The man in front of him trembled.

Yinshu frowned and looked at him again.

"Excuse me, can I turn on the light?"

The god of death seemed to hesitate for a few seconds, and then slowly moved the Zanpakuto away.

With a "pop", the light was turned on, and Yinshu looked at the man in front of him, a little dazed.It seems...where have I seen it?

When the man in front of him saw Yinshu's face, he took a step back with a complicated expression.

"Yuan, deputy captain of Yuannai?"

Yinshu was shocked.

"Who are you?"

"I, I am the 18th seat of the original second division team, Kinoshita Jiro!" Shinigami ran over excitedly and grabbed Otoki's shoulder, "Vice captain, you are not dead?! You and the captain disappeared more than 100 years ago In Seiling Court, we always thought you were dead!"

...Kinoshita Jiro?Looking at Shinigami's face, Gennai raised an eyebrow.Yeah...how could she have forgotten such an interesting name?The former captain's identity in Seireitei is not only the captain of the second division, but also the commander-in-chief of secret maneuvers.There are several teams in Covert Mobile, and she is the captain of the third team.Kinoshita Eighteen Seats used to be one of her team members.

"It turned out to be Erlang," Yinshu held back a smile, admiring the man's suddenly stiff expression, "I still remember, but, 'Original Second Division'?"

"Ah..." Erlang Kinoshita touched his head slightly dejectedly, "It's you and the captain, and many other captains disappeared in Seireitei for a while, the Goutei [-]th team made a big change, I was transferred to the third The team is gone."

"But why did you appear in this world? Why did Seilingting let a team chief come to this world?" Yinshu asked with a frown.

Kinoshita Jiro trembled, took a step back, and smiled stiffly: "Uh... this..."

From his expression, Yinshu almost guessed the reason, and narrowed his eyes dangerously.

"Yes, I'm sorry, vice-captain!" Kinoshita Jiro bowed in fright when he saw Otoki's expression, "After you left for a year, I accepted a challenge from a member of the third team. I lost Already!"

In the next second, he was kicked out by Yinshu and hit the wall!

"What a disgrace to the second team, Erlang!" Yin Shu clapped his hands and glanced at him.

"But without the vice-captain and the captain, it's really boring..." Jiro Kinoshita complained, rubbing his stomach.

"Forget it," Yin Shu let out a breath, and asked casually, "Who is the captain of the third team now?"

"Eh? Ichimaru Gin, Ichimaru Captain."

"... Ichimaru Gin?" Otoki looked at him blankly.

"Uh..." Jiro Kinoshita looked at Tone Tree suspiciously.

Turning his head away, Yinshu frowned.

What is she surprised by...

When she was investigating Aizen, she had already found him and Ichimaru Gin, who had been in frequent contact with him as a new team member at the time.Aizen's goal was not achieved and he remained in Seireitei, so in order to consolidate his strength, Gin Ichimaru will definitely become the captain.After all, Ichimaru Gin is also very powerful, a former genius...

"What... what's wrong, vice-captain?" Jiro Kinoshita called her tentatively.

Yinshu came back to his senses and shook his head.

Kanyinshu didn't want to say more, Kinoshita Jiro scratched the back of his head, and asked with some hesitation: "That... the vice-captain? Did you and the captain not die back then?"

Yinshu glanced at him.After a long silence, she said, "It is true that the captain is not dead, but I am."

Her current body is a human body, it is impossible for Kinoshita Jiro not to know, so there is no need to hide it.

"Then you..." He didn't seem to know whether to ask further.

"You don't need to know that much," Yin Shu closed his eyes and said, "Anyway, you just need to know that I'm back now."

"Ah... okay..." After a pause, Jiro Kinoshita straightened his body and shouted, "Welcome back, Vice Captain Gennai!"

Yinshu froze for a moment, then looked at him with some amusement. "Your current deputy captain is not me."

"No! Vice Captain Gennai will always be my Vice Captain!"

Yinshu shook his head helplessly.

"By the way, vice-captain, will you go back to Seireitei?"

"...I don't know," Yin Shu hesitated, but still said to him, "I don't know if I can go back for the time being."

"So... what about the captain?"

"Captain?" Yinshu could vaguely guess Ye Yi's thoughts, "I don't think she will go back, even if she does, what is her identity? After more than 100 years, the position of the captain of the second team cannot always be vacant Are you going?"

"Ah..." Kinoshita Jiro hesitated, "The current captain of the second division is Suifeng."

Yinshu opened his eyes wide in surprise, and then smiled and said, "Not bad, has Broken Bee become the captain? I really want to see who is stronger between her and the captain. She must be very sad when the captain disappeared, right? "

"How should I put it..." Kinoshita Jiro said with some confusion, "After the captain left, Suifeng has changed a lot... It's completely different from before, and sometimes I really feel that she has become very cold... Uh, the vice-captain, you don't know what to say. Don't mention it to Captain Broken Bee..."

Yinshu gave him a hopeless look, and then pondered: "Well... for her, there is no way... After all, she used to admire the captain so much, but the captain left without saying a word."

The two fell silent.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Kinoshita Jiro held the Zanpakuto vigilantly, Otoki blocked him with his hand, stepped forward and opened the door.

"Mother?"

"Yinshu, are you hungry?"

"You're not hungry, go rest." After a pause, Yinshu suddenly thought of something, "By the way, Mom, I'm going out with my classmates for the rest tomorrow."

"Ah, then remember to come back early?"

"Well, good." Yinshu closed the door.

"Where is the vice-captain going tomorrow? Can I follow the vice-captain?" Jiro Kinoshita approached expectantly.

"Don't follow me." Yin Shu let out a sigh and shook his head.

However, the next day, Kinoshita Jiro followed up sneakily, and Yinshu pretended not to see it.

As his former team captain, Otoki trusted him a lot, not to mention whether he could see the captain and Kisuke Urahara was also a problem.

Arriving in Karakura Town by car, Otoki walked directly to the Urahara store.

The Urahara store stood in such an open space, thanks to the fact that no one thought the store was suspicious.

The door was opened, but as expected, there was no one there.

Yinshu walked in and closed the door.

"Kisuke Urahara? Captain?"

After a long time, Urahara Kisuke came out leisurely flashing his small fan, and was surprised when he saw Otoki, "Oh, it's really early, Gennai."

"Did I bother you to do something sneaky?" Yinshu walked directly into a room, where the black cat was lying on the table and taking a nap.

"Ah," Kisuke Urahara smiled confidently, "What are you talking about Gennai, but you brought a sneaky friend."

"No matter how sneaky you are, it's fine if you don't enter your shop, right?"

Kisuke Urahara looked at Otoki innocently.

The next second, there was a loud noise outside the store, as if something had exploded.

Otoki drank his tea in silence, while Urahara Kisuke shook his small fan as if he hadn't heard anything, and the black cat hadn't raised his head since the beginning.

"So, what is Gennai doing here today?" Kisuke Urahara asked after taking a sip of tea and putting down the teacup after the sound outside had almost disappeared.

"It seems that our conversation yesterday is not over yet?" Toneki said while playing with an empty cup on the table, resting his chin on his hand, "What happened to Kuchiki Rukia? Did you do anything to her?"

"Well, even though he disappeared for more than 100 years, Gennai is still so keen."

"Don't talk to me like this," Yinshu frowned, "If you don't want to say it, I won't force you, after all, this kind of thing has nothing to do with me—" However, before Yinshu finished speaking, Urahara interrupted up.

"Wrong, wrong." Urahara raised a big smile, "I believe Gennai will be very interested in this matter."

Yin Shu froze for a moment, then opened his eyes wide in surprise.

"Is it related to... Aizen?"

"If I'm not wrong."

"Now it's not a question of guessing wrong, is it?" The black cat flicked its tail and said lazily on the ground.

Otoki frowned and looked at him, then turned his gaze to Urahara Kisuke.

Urahara Kisuke gradually suppressed his smile, took off his hat, and put it on the table.

"I put Bengyu in Kuchiki Rukia's soul."

"Beng... jade?" Yinshu chewed on unfamiliar words.

"That's right," Kisuke Urahara stared at her after a pause, and said slowly, "It's a very dangerous thing that can break the boundary between Shinigami and Hollow in an instant."

Yinshu opened his eyes wide, and felt a little difficult to breathe for a moment.

"What happened 100 years ago... has something to do with you?"

"No." Shaking his head, Urahara Kisuke said, "At the beginning, I was researching the method of strengthening the soul of the god of death, and blurring was one of the answers I came up with, and the one that can do this is Bengyu—— I made a very dangerous thing. At that time, Aizen might have known that I was researching the same thing as him, so he could use Hirako and the others as experimental materials without any scruples."

"Wait," Yin Shu interrupted him, "You were framed by him and had to leave Soul Soul Realm?! Master Tie Zhai too?!"

Kisuke Urahara nodded slowly.

Yinshu looked at him in disbelief.

"I couldn't think of any way to hide that thing, so I had to bury it in Kuchiki Rukia's body."

"Will the skeleton you gave her prevent her from recovering her spiritual power?" Yinshu continued along his train of thought, "If she can't recover her spiritual power, Kuchiki Rukia can only become a human being gradually, and Bengyu can only become a human being." Won't it be discovered and used by others?"

"Lanran is looking for Bengyu?!"

Kisuke Urahara looked at Otoki silently.

Yin Shu looked at him and shook his head slowly. "Impossible, Seireitei will send someone to find Rukia. What's more, she is Kuchiki Byakuya's younger sister, so it is impossible for him to let her go in this world."

"Well, so—" Urahara Kisuke suddenly put on his hat, grinned, and opened his fan, "Gennai must really want to go to Seireitei now, right?"

Kisuke Urahara's topic changed too quickly, and Otoki couldn't react for a moment, so he could only stare at him blankly.

"And this opportunity will come soon."

Yinshu narrowed his eyes, thought carefully about his words, and gradually came up with the answer.Raising her eyebrows, she said, "You want me to save Kuchiki Rukia."

"It's not you." Kisuke Urahara smiled meaningfully.

"Sound Tree." The black cat suddenly raised its head and spoke.

Yinshu looked at it.

"I'll go with you this time too. I can't stop you from doing what you want to do, but no matter what you say, you must be careful."

Yinshu was silent for a few seconds, nodded, and suddenly felt a little nervous.

"Well..." She forced a smile, "I just happened to be able to find one thing when I went to Seiling Court this time."

Otoki stayed at the Urahara store for dinner, and when he went out, it was already dark.

And Kinoshita Jiro sat outside the store door with his head down.

Yinshu walked over and patted his head, and he woke up immediately.

"Vice-captain! What is this place? Why is there such a dangerous child?!"

Yinshu glanced at him.

"Don't play dumb with me. Also, let me pretend that nothing happened today."

"Uh..." Kinoshita Jiro smiled dryly.

Looking up at the starless sky, Yinshu took a deep breath.

Finally, it's time to go back.
