Izakaya base.
"Brother Mizoli, don't be so stingy. Just tell us what happened between you and Mr. Tsukishima. I've been working at the stronghold for four years and I've only met one senior executive, and..."
Nakamura Que secretly looked at the two young people around him who were waiting to hear the story with a headache, and regretted even more that he had boasted so foolishly just now.
At the moment, all the words of evasion are blocked by Komayo Miyuki's coquettish tone. To be honest, do I still need the face of the person who leads the way with the Perfection Technique?
He took a deep puff of cigarette, thought for a few seconds and said: "It's not that I don't want to tell you, after all, it was more than ten years ago. At that time, Tsukishima-sama and I were still comrades fighting side by side, but now they are already Now that we are at the top of the organization, we need to recognize our identity.”
"Fight side by side?" Miyuki Komayo caught the word, her eyes shining.
Nakamura wanted to slap himself, but on the surface he waved his right hand indifferently: "Ah, I can say whatever you insist on hearing, but when Tsukishima-sama comes later, don't mention it. It's still based on merit. First of all, don’t let Tsukishima-sama feel unhappy that we want to use the back door.”
"Yeah! We know!"
"Haha, that was twelve, yes, twelve years ago..." If you want to blow, just blow louder. In a calm tone, Nakamura 'narrated' the past story, how we were saved from the hands of the deputy captain of Death together. Companion, describes a pitched battle.
In his uncontrollable words, Tsukishima and he seemed to have had a life-long friendship.
Until his phone rang.
When he saw the number on the opposite side, he immediately made a shushing gesture to the two of them: "Stop talking, it's Tsukishima-sama, he should be here soon."
Komayo Miyuki was startled and couldn't help but glance at Ji Xing. She saw Ji Xing's serious expression, as if he was nervous about the upcoming assessment.
She became slightly confused.
"This is Nakamura Kaku... what? Police station?" She was respectful at first and then raised her voice. Nakamura Kakugo Roku's words instantly made her shrink again.
"Stabbed to death with a sharp blade?! How is it possible..."
"Make sure it's really..."
Nakamura's face gradually turned pale, and he listened quietly to what the policeman on the other side said, and said hoarsely: "He and I... Well, I don't know him!
Yes, through the phone, but just... It's just an online relationship, we haven't met in person, only through the phone. Well, I run an izakaya, and he happened to come to Karakura Town for something, so I invited him to be a guest, so I talked on the phone this morning..."
"How could this happen..."
"Yes, yes, I'll be there right away!"
After hanging up the phone, he looked at the two pairs of confused eyes beside him and said in horror: "Something happened, something happened to Mr. Tsukishima... Something big happened!
You... Miyuki, please continue to operate the izakaya and open up your reception to outsiders. Gongshu, go back to the hotel to work immediately. If you can't contact me in a short time... No, don't contact me either. Wait for me to find you. Other things have nothing to do with you, so don't worry! "
After giving an explanation, he staggered out of the izakaya, leaving Ji Xing and Komatoyo Miyuki alone.
The two looked at each other, and Miyuki Komayo said with a panicked expression: "It sounds like Tsukishima-sama... is dead? Is it those Shinigami who did it?"
"It must be the God of Death." Ji Xing nodded, stood up and said, "Then I will go back to the hotel first. If you need help, please contact me at any time, Sister Miyuki."
"Hmm..." Miyuki Komayo watched Ji Xing leave the izakaya and put up the open sign.
This doesn't seem like a coincidence, Gongshu...could it be the person who got the Death God into the Perfection Jutsu? Did he discover something about me?
…
"Chawatari, when did you find out that I became a Shinigami?" On the other side, the atmosphere between Rukia, Ichigo and Sadatari became slightly awkward.
They actually haven't figured out what happened yet. One second the two Perfectionists were clearly full of malice, and the next second they suddenly evacuated as if they had received some signal?
This attack seemed to be an attempt to expose the secret between Ichigo and Sadatari. Ichigo was embarrassed for a long time before he asked.
"Two days ago." Chadu replied, "By chance."
"Is that so..." Ichigo scratched his head: "I'm sorry, mainly... I don't know how to explain to you that the relationship between the Shinigami and the Perfection Jutsu seems..."
"It's okay, I understand." Chadou said: "I didn't know how to explain it to you before, so I hid it from you after I became a Perfect Master."
Ichigo breathed out softly and stretched out his hand to Sadatari: "The current situation allows me to breathe a sigh of relief. I have been carefully hiding it from you, and it's very uncomfortable."
"Me too."
Two best friends hold hands together.
They had obviously never worried about the confrontation between the Shinigami and the Fullbringers, they just didn't know how to express it. Rukia looked at the two boys and thought: "Thank you for saving me, Sadatari.
But I'm afraid we have to put other things aside for now. We first have to figure out why a Fullbringer suddenly attacked us, Ichigo. "
"Ah, there's also Sadatari." Ichigo said: "As a Perfect Master, you helped us. If the Perfect Master organization knew about it, wouldn't there be trouble?"
Chadar was also more concerned about Ichigo's safety: "When I was instructed to practice the genjutsu, the teacher introduced Death to me, but he only told me about our hostility, and asked me to be careful to conceal my identity. If I meet Death, If so, stay away.
I have never seen the two people who just launched the attack. They may be members of Special Operations Team X, which is a..."
He, who was usually taciturn, rarely said a lot, and the expressions of Ichigo and Rukia became more and more solemn. He only accepts elite forces assigned by high-level officials? If it's really them...
If you retreat after an accident this time, won't there be a steady stream of attacks from behind? !
Lucia's heart suddenly sank.
No, the Soul Society needs to dispatch the Gotei 14th Team to guard the complete world. It is definitely not something that Ichigo Sadatari and I, who have lost the power of the Shinigami, can resist!
One mistake and everyone may die!
Rukia gritted her teeth. Although she was still discussing with Ichigo and Chadari on the surface, she quietly made another decision in her heart.
Exposure has become a given.
I...I'm afraid I can't continue to be selfish and drag them down just to escape punishment.
…
Night, 21:30.
Rukia, who moved into Ichigo's house, quietly left the attic of his house while Ichigo was taking a shower, and rushed to Shishi Hotel under the cover of night.
Instead of entering through the front door, he reluctantly used his recovered strength to control the hang glider and boarded the rooftop of the hotel from the back, raising his hands in the air and waving them crosswise.
While waving, the body also rotates and makes two small jumps to ensure that as long as there are people around, it can attract the other party's attention.
But until she was so exhausted that she was panting, she didn't get any feedback. She couldn't help but frown slightly: Didn't Vice Captain Hiyori come today?
"Miss Lucia, haven't you already checked out? Why is it so dangerous to go to the top of the building?"
Suddenly, a voice came from behind, causing Lucia's expression to freeze suddenly. The opening of the scene, which was like a horror story, made her forehead be covered with fine beads of sweat in an instant.
"I..." Lucia turned her head, and the person she saw was indeed Ji Xing. She was silent and explained with a dry laugh: "I'm used to living here, and I'm still a little reluctant to move out. And it suddenly occurred to me that I haven't left yet." I’ve seen the scenery on the roof of the hotel, so I stopped by to take a look. Does it cause any trouble to you?”
Ji Xing shook his head: "It doesn't bother me at all, but I thought you were looking for the Death Vice Captain. Turns out you were just looking at the scenery?"
"..."
Rukia's body stiffened even more, and she said with an innocent look on her face: "What Death? Vice-captain?"
"That's the little one you saw jumping around me and scolding me the morning after you moved in." Ji Xing compared Hiyori's height and said, "I'm afraid she won't have time to come here today."
Lucia instantly no longer had any luck. Did she actually find out my identity at that time? !
How stupid I am! I clearly know that this guy is the person that Vice-Captain Hiyori is watching, but because he judged that humans and animals are harmless a few days ago, he came here to throw himself into a trap! Is my identity exposed...
"The exposure of your identity has nothing to do with me." Ji Xing said: "You went to study in the same class as Chadu. The school was mixed with people, and the god of death was showing the magic and the one who was hiding it. How dare you bet that the magic was not completed? The magician has seen you before?"
Rukia was silent.
Indeed, I made too many mistakes.
"So...are you going to kill me?"
Ji Xing nodded: "Sorry."
The next moment, he reached out and slid his hand on his coat, and a long sword was pulled out. Rukia staggered back two steps, but she had almost no ability to resist after losing her ability to die!
The long sword passed over her body, and Lucia subconsciously closed her eyes, locked her neck, and waited in fear for death. However, after waiting for three seconds, the expected painful death did not come.
"I..." She opened her eyes in confusion.
"I'm just trying to scare you." Ji Xing said with a smile in front of him: "Why should I kill you? Is it because you dislike that idiot vice-captain for not really killing me? Go back early, don't worry about the Perfectionist who attacked you tonight , there is something wrong within the organization, and I probably won’t be able to take care of you in the short term.”
"..."
After narrowly escaping from death, Rukia felt that her back was covered with cold sweat, and she almost made a bigger embarrassment. She subconsciously wanted to grind her teeth. How could this guy... have a bad taste like the former captain Urahara Kisuke? !
Also... is there something wrong within the Perfectionist? Is this the reason why those two people suddenly evacuated?
"What on earth are you..."
"What? Aren't you happy if I don't kill you? If you really feel sorry for me, you can call me 'Grandpa' out of gratitude." Ji Xing said with a smile.
...What a mess!
Lucia's face darkened, she turned around and went downstairs from the ladder this time. When she came to the hotel door, Ji Xing was already at his post and said to her: "Guest, please go slowly. Welcome to come again."
Lucia didn't know why, but she suddenly felt the pressure subside and became relaxed.
…
On the other side, the two Perfectionists who drove all the way out of Karakura Town and arrived in the next city had very heavy expressions.
Stopping in front of a three-story building, the two looked at each other, quickly stepped forward and rang the doorbell.
Soon the door was opened, and a strong man like a tea ferry stood across the door, making the two of them look happy and shout in unison: "Sir Ryuzai!"
"It's great that you are safe!" Mai Sanguan, who was wearing a silk ribbon, followed closely: "We originally accepted the mission to go to Karakura Town to investigate the Death God Kuchiki Rukia, but we were fighting with the target. At that time, I suddenly discovered some memory changes about Tsukishima-sama.
He seems to have inserted a passage in our memories that makes us feel particularly close to him. Although I don’t know why it failed, I want to tell you about this right away. I’m afraid he might...and this kind of thing may not be his alone..."
"Are you suspicious of the leader?" Hiraikage Ryuya asked calmly: "So you found me directly? Are you even worried that something bad will happen to me because of this?"
"...Yes!" Shanguan Wu responded, suddenly feeling that the response from the other party seemed a little too calm.
The companion next to her was also aware of it. A sudden pull allowed her to dodge a palm pushing from the opposite side, but she was pressed against her chest.
There was no time to show his despair and fear, and he disappeared in a flash, leaving no trace around him. Even the residual body heat disappeared, as if the whole person had never existed!
Shanguan Wu suddenly showed an expression of disbelief.
"Ryuzai...sir?!"
"Aren't you going to run away?"
"...You were the one who brought me out of that environment." Shanguan Wu was silent for a while, then said bitterly: "And if you are not trustworthy, then it means that Tsukishima Hidekuro's actions were... With all those in power supporting and understanding, where can we escape?”
She responded with a punch.
There was no sound in front of the three-story building, as if no visitor had come. The fourth character in x, the 'Eliminating Fist' Hiraikage Ryuya, closed the door.
…
Somewhere, residence.
A white-haired old woman pressed the phone awkwardly and heard a voice coming from the other side.
"Shikako-sama! I'm sorry, I accidentally let Moji escape. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you again."
"I know, I know." Chao Fei Luzi muttered in a hoarse voice: "Really, you are just trying to absorb the abilities of those guys, how easy would it be to just let the old woman curse them to death?"
She casually turned over a few cards in front of her and said: "It's in the back street. Oh, it's moving towards Karakura Town. It's smart. It seems that it wants to find the God of Death. You have to speed up."
"Yes!" The phone then hung up.
The old woman muttered something rude, and another phone rang.
"Oh, the old woman can't sleep tonight."
X's No. 3 character, the 'diviner' Kao Fei Shikazi, continues to divine the X members who are suspected of leaving the organization due to the failure of Tsukishima's abilities.
…
Another place, residence.
The blond middle-aged man lay lazily on the bed with his legs crossed, his hands dancing in front of his chest like a band conductor.
At the same time, pictures and scenes seemed to be playing directly in his mind.
"Why, why do you have to do this?!"
"ah--"
"Aren't we all companions?!"
Many Fullbringers who had Tsukishima's abilities unlocked and discovered that their hostility towards the Shinigami had no origin were hunted down and had their abilities taken away.
"Companion? Not a companion. The characteristics of the Perfection Technique determine that x is just a fish pond, and we are all fish and shrimps in this fish pond.
Those who have just joined the organization and have perfect skills are ignorant shrimps who can only wait to be eaten. After becoming a guide or a member of The god of death is just causing some trouble.
The 13 of us have grown into big fish, and we can eat whoever we want, but big fish also come in different sizes. In the end, will there be one fish that eats up the entire fish pond and leaps out as a dragon? "
x The second person, 'Conductor' Iruma Toya murmured excitedly.
…
In Naruki City, with her hair combed into an 'adult look', the leader of X, Xia Yuanhama Hozuki, was making a call: "Has the God of Death already taken action? These guys reacted faster than expected.
I know, leave them alone, cut them off if they persist, and let them go if they only take a few people away. When everyone has digested the new power, the time to counterattack will come, and I will go to Karakura Town myself.
Take you...to kill all the gods of death! "
…
At the warehouse base, Liu Che Quanxi listened to the reports from all sides with a confused look on his face.
"Are these Perfectionists suddenly crazy?" Hiyori's curse expressed his inner thoughts.
What happened?
