Gu Shi looked at him strangely, without any expression, but just took the small bottle and operated it carefully, and soon took out his own spiritual power from it.
The usage of this device can basically be said to be a fool-proof operation. Just put the target's spiritual power into it, and then inject your own spiritual power into the device to complete the activation.
The device will automatically track the whereabouts of the owner of the spiritual power inside and give a reminder by flashing. If there are multiple spiritual powers inside, you can also use your own spiritual power to choose one of them to track. The main feature is that it is easy to operate.
Considering that the Grim Reapers are almost all muscle-headed and prefer to speak with their muscles rather than their brains, it is not surprising that such an operating system has emerged.
Perhaps when the earliest tracking devices were created, the systems were designed to be very complex, in an effort to avoid being captured and used by the enemy. However, the developers were beaten up by muscle-brained people who did not understand how to use complex systems, so they were forced to develop a simplified operating system.
After taking out his spiritual power, Gu Shi smiled again and looked at the four death gods in front of him.
"Okay, please each of you give me some spiritual power."
Ibuki and Asido's faces tightened, but the other two death gods immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Without Gu Shi's second urging, they hurriedly divided their spiritual power. Without Gu Shi doing it himself, they took the initiative to send their spiritual power into the tracking device.
Since Gu Shi asked them to leave their spiritual power, it meant that he had no intention of killing them. This was simply the best news for the two Grim Reapers who just wanted to save their lives.
After sending out their spiritual powers, the two Death Gods did not dare to make loud noises without Gu Shi's permission, but they urged Ibuki and Asido with their eyes, asking them to send out their spiritual powers quickly and not do anything stupid that would implicate themselves.
Ibuki sighed in his heart, and without hesitation, he drew out a strand of his own spiritual power, and also drew out a strand of spiritual power from Asido, and sent them into the tracking device together.
Ibuki knew the character of his old friend. If he wanted him to send his spiritual power to the Hollows, he would probably rather fight with these Hollows. So, Ibuki took action directly and took away Asido's spiritual power.
Asido hesitated for a moment, and seeing the pleading in the eyes of the other two Grim Reapers, he sighed deeply, and ultimately did not choose to resist.
After putting away the small bottle containing four spiritual powers, Gu Shi nodded with satisfaction.
“I have received your token of friendship. Now, please keep the matter of these two friends of mine a secret after you return to Soul Society.
“Hueco Mundo is so big, as long as I change my position frequently, even if the Shinigami chasing us later have tracking devices, I’m afraid they won’t be able to find me easily.
"What's more, the Great Hollow Forest is our home ground after all. In addition to Killian, there are also a large number of Achucas, and there are even Vastod in the depths. I am more familiar with the terrain than you. If I want to escape, as long as those captains are not chasing me personally, I will have no problem keeping my life.
"So, everyone, remember to keep my friend's secret. You don't want to have a touching reunion with me when you go on a mission in the future, right?"
As he spoke, Gu Shi shook the tracking device in his hand with a bright and cheerful smile.

Chapter 68: Stay or Go
Things had developed to this point, and even though Gu Shi's threatening intentions were clearly revealed, the Death Gods no longer had the energy to feel dissatisfied. Ibuki kept smiling and said goodbye to Gu Shi again.
This time, Gu Shi did not stop them.
"Well, take care, my friends. Please remember our friendship and our promise."
Gu Shi, who never told his name to his "friends" from beginning to end, waved goodbye to them. At the moment when the death gods just felt relieved, he asked another question as if inadvertently.
"By the way, how are you going to get back? Are you going to use the gate?"
"You overestimate the technology of Soul Society. The Gate of the Realm can only be used to communicate between the real world and Soul Society. We plan to capture Hollows who can only open black channels and have them help us open a passage back to the real world. After arriving in the real world, we will use the Gate of the Realm to return to Soul Society."
Before Ibuki could think of how to give an appropriate answer, a god of death who was only concerned about survival immediately and positively answered Gu Shi's question. Another god of death who also didn't want to die felt that his companion had said something wrong, so he quickly added another sentence.
"We are just asking those Hollows for help. We will definitely not kill them!"
The other Grim Reaper then realized that he had been discussing the matter of catching a Void in front of it. He was so frightened that his face turned pale. He immediately nodded repeatedly to indicate that this was what he meant and he had absolutely no intention of persecuting other Voids.
[Is it true that the Crossgate cannot be opened in Hueco Mundo? This is still good news. 】
Gu Shi muttered something in his heart and waved his hand indifferently.
"Those Hollows who only want to eat people, shouldn't we kill them and keep them for breeding? Well, don't go looking for them everywhere. If you wander around in the Great Hollow Forest and run into Achukas, I'm afraid your heads will be bitten off before you can react. Tianpeng, open a black cavity to send them off."
Neither Gu Shi nor Erlang can speak in a black voice, but Tianpeng has this ability. She had already awakened her talent for speaking in a black voice before she evolved into Killian.
When she first awakened this talent, she tried to open the black cavity for the first time, but the channel she opened was too small and lasted for a very short time, so she couldn't use it at all. She simply forgot about this ability. It was not until she heard Gu Shi mention the black cavity during a chat after dinner recently that she remembered that she had such an ability.
Tianpeng nodded silently, and waved his claws in front of several death gods. Suddenly, a sound like tearing cloth was heard, and a crack five or six meters long and more than three meters high appeared out of thin air.
The two Shinigami who couldn't wait to return to Soul Society hurriedly bowed to Tenpon to express their gratitude and were about to step into the Black Chamber. Ibuki also politely said goodbye to Gu Shi and walked towards the Black Chamber.
"I won't go back."
Just as the three were about to step into the black cavity, a deep voice sounded behind them. They turned around in surprise and saw that Asido was still standing there, with no intention of following them.
"Ashido, what do you mean?"
Ibuki frowned unconsciously, and the other two Shinigami also showed anxious expressions. They hurried to see the reactions of Gu Shi and other hollows, fearing that this sudden accident would make Gu Shi change his mind and leave them here forever.
Asido stared at Ibuki expressionlessly, not caring at all about the anxious or resentful reactions of his colleagues and friends, and spoke calmly.
"If I return to Soul Society, an ordinary officer like me will still be a knife in the hands of the nobles, and I won't be able to really contribute to protecting the people. In this case, instead of going back to be a dog, I might as well stay here and kill as many Hollows as possible. At least every Hollow I kill here means one less Hollow that may enter the human world to eat people."
Asido spoke calmly, as if he was just saying something that was a matter of course, but the other reapers almost had their minds exploded.
We were finally able to escape, but you said in front of the Big Void that you wanted to kill as many Voids as possible. Are you mentally ill, or do you want to deliberately provoke the Big Void and drag us to death together?
Ibuki's hand unconsciously grasped his Zanpakutō, and he looked at Gu Shi and the others vigilantly, and quietly moved his feet closer to his friends.
[Ashido? This name...]
Gu Shi looked at the cold-faced Shinigami with some surprise. He didn't expect that after traveling to the world of Shinigami, the second "acquaintance" he met after Aizen would be this extra who helped Rukia Kuchiki in the Hueco Mundo War.
I remember that in the plot, Asido did live in the Great Hollow Forest for hundreds of years, constantly hunting Hollows during that time. By the time Kuchiki Rukia met him, he had grown to the point where he could kill Achukas without releasing his Zanpakutō.
[Wow, this guy is still a ruthless person. ]
Gu Shi sighed calmly, glanced at those nervous Grim Reapers, and rolled his eyes indifferently.
"Why are you looking at me? Do you want me to help persuade him? Who of you wants to leave or stay has nothing to do with me."
Gu Shi really didn't care. Before he traveled through time, he did have a great liking for many characters in Bleach, but even if he really met his once favorite Soi-Fong, he was confident that he would not have any inappropriate reaction.
After all, there is a huge difference between the characters portrayed in the story with prominent advantages and real people who may have various minor flaws and bad habits. Who knows if the perfect goddess on the screen has sweaty feet and bad breath if you really see her. It is better to leave the good memories of the past.
Gu Shi has this attitude towards his favorite main characters, not to mention a minor character like Asido who only appears briefly. Even if he is persuaded to leave by his friends and his fate changes, and he does not plan to stay in the Great Hollow Forest, Gu Shi does not care.
Seeing that Gu Shi had no intention of getting angry, Ibuki breathed a sigh of relief and quickly went up to Asido and whispered to his stubborn friend. However, no matter what he said, Asido had a calm expression and showed no intention of changing his mind.
After a moment, Ibuki gave up trying to persuade him and could only give Asido a few words of advice, telling him not to charge forward when he encountered an enemy he knew he couldn't defeat. Then he said goodbye to Gu Shi politely again with a worried look on his face and stepped into the black cavity.
The other two Death Gods who had been impatient for a long time did not dare to leave Ibuki without permission. When they saw Ibuki coming, they hurriedly walked into the black cavity.
Asido stood straight in the place, watching his colleagues and friends leave. His determined eyes finally showed some fluctuations, and emotions such as pain, sadness, and reluctance flooded into his eyes.
Gu Shi glanced at the Grim Reaper who stayed in the Great Hollow Forest, thought about the goal he had set for himself to make more friends, hesitated for a moment, and finally put aside the worry of being rejected, and spoke in a deep voice.
"Your name is Ashido, right? Since you've decided to stay in Hueco Mundo, we can barely be considered neighbors. If you encounter any trouble that you can't solve, you can come to us for help."
As a god of death, Asido can only encounter a few kinds of troubles in the Great Hollow Forest.
If he encountered Achukas or even a higher level Hollow, with Asido's current strength, he would definitely be killed on the spot, and would have no chance to ask for help, so he wouldn't have to worry about bringing trouble to himself.
If it is a trouble of Killian's level, since most Hollows like to act alone, Gu Shi, Erlang Tianpeng and the other three big Hollows can basically solve the problem properly when facing a single Killian, even if the other party has self-awareness.
Therefore, Gu Shi doesn't mind showing a little kindness. Maybe he will have more friends who are gods of death in the future.
Asido looked at Gu Shi in surprise. He had no intention of accepting the kindness from Xu, but when he remembered Gu Shi's sigh that "the god of death doesn't care about the life and death of ordinary people" and his hostility towards those cannibalistic Xu, he hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly.
"Then, thank you in advance."
In the dark passage, Ibuki listened to the conversation behind him, subconsciously narrowed his eyes, and slowly swept his gaze over the two colleagues who were running happily in front of him, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled up.
Chapter 69 You Want Happiness
The black chamber was silent except for the disturbing sound of three people's footsteps. Two death gods were running for their lives in the front, while Ibuki was walking slowly and steadily behind them.
However, Ibuki's instant movement was obviously better than the other two. Although he seemed to be walking neither fast nor slow, his speed was not much slower than those two.
Finally, after a short run, the three of them finally rushed out of the dark cavity. Looking up, they saw that it was no longer the pitch-black dome above them, but the slightly dim sky at dusk.
At this point, the two Grim Reapers finally revealed excited smiles of escaping death.
Survived!
Really survived!
The two of them desperately breathed in the air that was different from the Hueco Mundo, and felt that life was so wonderful.
"The mouth flashes three times."
A calm voice sounded behind the two men, and three huge tooth-shaped golden light cones suddenly shot out, piercing through the arms and waist of one of the Grim Reapers, locking him firmly to the ground.
At the same time, Ibuki's Zanpakutō silently stabbed another Shinigami in the back.
A sharp sound of metal collision was heard, and the attacked Shinigami seemed to be prepared. He immediately pressed down hard on the Zanpakutō at his waist, and the scabbard rose up, accurately blocking the tip of the knife that was stabbing towards his heart, and used the force to quickly retreat.
"As expected, if the Great Hollow is willing to let us go, Ibuki will not. How can a guy like you who works for stealth and maneuvers let us, the Shinigami who know the secrets of the nobles, live?"
The Grim Reaper who blocked the fatal blow broke out in cold sweat on his forehead. He immediately released his Zanpakutō and slowly retreated while staring at Ibuki vigilantly.
"Ibuki, let me go! I swear I will never return to Soul Society in my lifetime, and I will never come into contact with other Shinigami. I will find a place in the human world to live in seclusion, and I will never tell anyone what I heard today!"
He quickly asked Ibuki to let him go, and his eyes quickly scanned the surroundings, looking for a way to escape. Another god of death who was imprisoned in the binding path also realized what happened at this time. He struggled hard and begged Ibuki loudly.
Ibuki had a calm smile on his face, the Zanpakutō in his hand still intact, as if his killing intent was not very firm, and he had no intention of using his full strength. With a smile on his face, he slowly walked towards the Grim Reaper nailed to the ground, and stretched out his hand without the knife towards him, as if to untie the restraints on his body, while slowly speaking.
"Yohira, you are quite smart, that's right, nobles are all very proud, you have heard so many secrets about the nobles, whether it is the secret maneuver or the Xing Army, there is no reason for them to let you return to Soul Society.
“If I take action now, you will only have to face me, but when you return to Soul Society, there will be at least three squads of criminal soldiers waiting for you, and you will have no chance of escaping.
"If I really want to kill you, the best option is to call on the criminal army to attack you after returning to Soul Society. Don't you think this makes sense?"
What Ibuki said was true. As the top ten officers in their respective squads, although they were quite strong, they were not strong enough to ignore the difference in numbers. Being besieged by a criminal army that was ten times their number, they had absolutely no chance of escape.
Thinking about it this way, Ibuki's attack on his own before returning to Soul Society seemed to have no ill intentions? Was this a warning to them with actual actions? Or was it some kind of test?
Moreover, for the God of Death, whether or not a Zanpakutō is released is a universal standard for judging whether he is ready to fight seriously. The unreleased Zanpakutō in Ibuki's hand is actually a more powerful comfort than words to the two of them.
What's more, when Ibuki launched a sneak attack just now, he used the binding technique "Three Mouth Flashes" instead of the more lethal breaking technique.
These factors combined made the two Shinigami relax a little. The "Mouth-Throwing Three Flashes", which had lost its power due to the abandonment of chanting, also began to loosen. The Shinigami nailed to the ground hurriedly continued to struggle while nodding to show his agreement with Ibuki's words.
"That's right, Ibuki, you're right. We are colleagues. Please let me go..."
"Red Fire Cannon."
Before the Grim Reaper could finish his words, a fireball with no intention of chanting suddenly flew out from Ibuki's hand and hit his open mouth accurately, exploding from the inside and turning his head into a blazing fireball.
"Yes, we are colleagues. We not only have no hatred, but also have friendship fighting side by side. If the superiors did not issue a kill order, I should let you go. If Ashido also came back with us, I would definitely let you go and let you and Ashido live in seclusion in the real world and take care of each other."
Ibuki still had that calm smile on his face. He walked over the burning corpse, took instant steps, and chased after Hinata who turned around and fled, while still speaking his thoughts steadily.
