boom.
There was a dull sound of falling to the ground, and Hiyori Sarugaki was slashed to the ground by Tosen Kaname.
"It's time to get to know each other, Captain Hirako."
Aizen looked at this scene expressionlessly and said calmly, "You are a perfect commander. Because you don't trust me, you keep me by your side. Because you don't trust me, you deliberately keep a distance. You passed the surveillance ...to control my actions. Then, remember..."
As he spoke, Aizen slowly raised his knife and walked towards Hirako Mako, with a sarcastic smile on his face: "The betrayal in front of you is easy to see through, but the truly terrifying thing is the invisible betrayal. Captain Hirako, your gaze is too much. It’s narrow-minded.”
"Damn...damn...ahhhhhhhhh-"
Looking at the blade slowly falling towards him, Hirako Mako's eyes were full of unwillingness. He roared angrily, but he couldn't do anything. It would only make the sarcastic smile on Aizen's face even more presumptuous.
"Farewell, you guys are really good test subjects. Thanks to your contribution, my research has gone a step further." The smile on Aizen's face turned cruel.
However, at this moment, a whistling sound came from behind.
"Um?"
Aizen noticed the movement behind him and stopped swinging his sword.
call--
The next moment, the team seal engraved with 'Fifth Division' fell in the air, but Aizen's figure disappeared.
"Tsk...didn't you hit it..."
Kisuke Urahara, who was speeding towards him, stopped and looked gloomy.
Behind him was Gribi Tessai who came with him.
"Well...this time...we have another interesting guest coming?"
Aizen retreated to Ichimaru Gin and Tosen Kaname, with a look of helplessness on his face. He calmly looked at the two people who came over and asked indifferently.
"So...you two, what advice do you have? Captain Urahara, the great ghost master of Niryo..."
"Yeah, it's not good, I was discovered by an unexpected person." Ichimaru Gin on the side narrowed his eyes slightly and answered with a smile.
"It doesn't matter...I'll kill them." Dong Xian took a step forward and slowly pulled out the Zanpakuto from his waist. He seemed very confident that he could kill the two people in front of him one against two.
"No, there's no need." Faced with Tōsen Kaname's offer, Aizen closed his eyes and shook his head helplessly.
"But..." Tosen Kaname looked a little hesitant.
"I said...'No need,."
It seemed that because his order was questioned, the expression on Aizen's face became gloomy, and the terrifying spiritual pressure instantly enveloped Tosen.
Dongxian immediately knelt down on one knee, his forehead covered with cold sweat, and said in fear, "Yes! Please forgive me for my arrogant words and deeds just now!"
"..."
Urahara Kisuke looked at the few people with a serious expression. He and Tessai had not spoken a word since they arrived here.
"Ki...suke...what are you doing here? Idiot..." Half of his face was covered by a ferocious mask, but Mako Hirako, who still remained rational, gasped and asked with difficulty.
"What are you doing? Of course I'm here to save you." Urahara Kisuke frowned slightly and said, "By the way, what is that ugly mask on your face?"...
"How did I know...bastard..." Hirako Mako scolded with a smile.
It seemed that he relaxed because the man in front of him was present.
"hey-hey……"
A faint smile also appeared on Urahara Kisuke's face.
But the smile soon disappeared.
He glanced at the people lying on the ground and looked at Aizen opposite with a gloomy expression.
"Aizen...vice-captain."
"Yes." Aizen answered calmly.
"What are you doing here?" Urahara Kisuke asked.
"I didn't do anything." Aizen replied matter-of-factly, "As you saw, I happened to meet the personnel of the special unit handling the case of missing souls, and saw that they were suffering from the battle.
The hurt looks like... I'm preparing for actual treatment. "
"Huh, 'treatment?'" A sarcastic smile appeared on Mako Hirako's face, "Do you mean making them feel no pain?"
"Well... in a sense, that's true." Aizen was stunned for a moment, then answered calmly.
"Why are you trying to trick me with such boring lies?" Urahara Kisuke asked with a gloomy look.
"'Lie,? Is there anything wrong with the deputy captain rescuing the captain?" Aizen remained unmoved.
"No, that's not what I'm referring to." Urahara Kisuke glanced at the injured people lying on the ground again, his eyes became dangerous, and his tone was full of anger, "'Injured because of the battle? Can they be called that? Why are you injured? You guy... resting on me! This is clearly a blur!"
"Is that so?"
After hearing Urahara Kisuke's words, Aizen's expression became dangerous. The terrifying look in his eyes made Urahara Kisuke feel a chill down his spine for some unknown reason.
"You are indeed... exactly as I imagined! Captain Urahara."
As if Aizen had confirmed something, he slowly sheathed the Zanpakuto in his hand and turned around to leave.
"Let's go, Silver, please."
"..."
Ichimaru Gin and Tosen Kaname didn't say anything, they just turned around calmly and prepared to leave, seemingly not paying attention to the two people who came.
"You...wait!"
Seeing this, Urahara Kisuke roared and wanted to rush forward to stop him.
But it seems someone is more efficient than him.
"Urahara-sama, get out of the way!"
Behind him, Nie Ling Te Zhai roared and gestured.
Feeling the spiritual power fluctuations coming from behind, Urahara Kisuke realized what the other party wanted to do and quickly got out of the way.
[Currently used, this is the most comprehensive and best-used book-listening sound system. It integrates 4 major speech synthesis engines with over 100 kinds of sounds, and also supports offline reading.
The degree of transformation is already quite deep. If it is dealt with here, maybe..." Urahara Kisuke hesitated.
"It seems...you seem to know something about this matter? Urahara-sama..." Tessai looked at Urahara Kisuke with some confusion, "There is something about the so-called 'hollow...what exactly is it? I have never heard of it. I said this word."
"..."
Only then did Urahara Kisuke realize that he seemed to have let something slip.
"I do know that it is right... but because I know, I understand how dangerous their current situation is. To be honest... if they have reached this level, whether they can be saved can only depend on their own will. Strength and luck..."
"I understand." Upon hearing this, Tessai's expression became extremely serious.
His subordinate, Hakugen Ariakida, also became a victim of Aizen's conspiracy.
"I want to confirm one thing. You said, 'If it's done here, maybe...? In other words, specific materials or equipment are needed to ensure the success rate, right?"
"That's right."
"Do you have one in your twelfth division team building?"
"certainly."
"Okay, now let the eight of them... maintain this state and return to the twelfth division team building. Then you can rely on the sufficient equipment there to save them, right?" Zhai suggested seriously.
"Is this... can such a thing be done?" Urahara Kisuke asked in surprise.
"Of course, I will do my best to assist you." Grizzi Tessai's tone was extremely serious, "As long as you use 'time stop' and 'space transfer,' you should be able to do it."
"What did you say!?"
Urahara Kisuke was slightly startled when he heard this.
Please don’t take such outrageous things for granted! ?
Regarding the laws of time and space...that is a taboo that mortals should not touch!
"No time to explain."
Giryo Tessai concentrated on it, "These two are forbidden arts among the forbidden arts, so please just pretend that you don't know what to do and nothing happened!"...
As he spoke, the seal in his hand was completed.
Before Urahara Kisuke could react, the surrounding space and time seemed to undergo subtle changes.
When he came to his senses, the eight people who fell on the ground were instantly transferred to the laboratory in the twelfth division team building along with the entire land.
Because time was forcibly stopped at the moment just now, Urahara Kisuke had no idea what happened in the middle. He could only see the fact that the space in front of him had been transferred.
"It's really...amazing..."
"Isn't this the time to talk about this? Quick! How can we save them?" Tessai reminded anxiously, "What exactly is the so-called 'hollowing'?"
"The so-called 'hollow'... is one of the 'answers' I came up with during the process of researching the strengthening of souls of Shinigami..." Urahara Kisuke answered hesitantly, "During that process, I created a A thing that can destroy the boundary between the Shinigami and Hollows in an instant. Although this kind of thing is very dangerous, if we want to save Mr. Hirako and the others now... we can only rely on its power..."
With that said, Urahara Kisuke pressed a secret switch somewhere in the laboratory, and a secret dark room on the wall opened, and the things preserved in it were displayed in front of the two of them.
"This is..." Looking at the thing in front of him and feeling the terrifying power emanating from it, Tessai's voice trembled a little as he spoke.
"'Hengyu," Urahara Kisuke replied solemnly, "This is actually something that happened unintentionally during my experiment. I still don't fully understand its specific functions, but you should also be able to feel it. Arrived? How dangerous it is."
"Gulu...of course..." Tessai swallowed and nodded.
"So, I have to trouble you to pretend that you didn't see anything and that nothing happened from now on..."
Saying that, Urahara Kisuke stepped forward to take out the Bengyu to save people, "Please, help me look at the situation outside, don't let
Anyone coming in..."
"clear."
············
The next day, early morning.
"Feel sorry……"
Urahara Kisuke said regretfully to Tessai who was guarding outside the laboratory.
"Mr. Tessai... it seems that he failed... I have no way to remove the 'hollow' for the time being."
"..."
Looking at the eight people lying on the ground with their faces covered by masks, Tessai fell into silence.
"It doesn't matter...it takes time, right? It's...very simple for me. I will stop their time until you find a way to lift the virtualization."
"Then I'll trouble you... But... 'Time stands still, if those guys find out about this kind of thing, the consequences will be serious, right?'" Urahara Kisuke asked hesitantly.
"Both each other..." An awkward smile appeared on Tessai's face, "Urahara-sama, the research you conducted is also within the scope of 'forbidden, right? In short... we must conceal this matter before rescuing them. "
"Well...I'm going to go out and get some fresh air first..."
Urahara Kisuke nodded slightly and was about to leave the team building.
However, what neither of them could have expected was that... something that no one would have known about had already been revealed before they even started to hide it.
When they opened the door to the team building, they were greeted by the people sent from Room 46 of the Central Committee to detain them.
"Captain of the twelfth division, Urahara Kisuke-sama! The handsome master of the Kidou system, Gribi Tessai-sama! A compulsory arrest order has been issued by Central Room 46! Please come with us."
"boom."
As the door of the Central Courtroom No. 46 closed, the two people with bewildered faces were taken to the center of the conference hall to await trial.
"What exactly is going on?"
Urahara Kisuke, who had not yet reacted, asked hesitantly.
"Are you allowed to speak? You are being questioned now. You only need to answer questions and are not allowed to speak." An old voice came from above.
The Sage, who was sitting in one of the forty-six rooms behind the sign with the number 'Twenty,' engraved on it, said in a gloomy tone, "You'd better understand the current situation first, captain of the 12th Division." .
