With Kisuke's talent, no matter which division he joined, he would surely be able to become the captain within fifty years and receive the respect and awe of all the Shinigami, rather than being his own shadow and being content to be a "little guy" in the second division.
"If you think it's unfair, then you can compensate me after I become the captain. For example, if you're going on a long trip, tell me in advance~"
In the dim light, Urahara Kisuke's eyes narrowed into a thin line due to his smile.
ps: Before Urahara Kisuke was chosen as the captain, he was already the third seat in the second division, and was considered a well-known figure in Soul Society. However, Soi-Fong, who probably did not hold a very high position in the Executioner Army at the time, looked down on him at first and even followed Urahara Kisuke personally.
If we say that Urahara Kisuke is just hiding his shortcomings, I don't think he can hide them so "cleanly". He has already become the third seat and still hasn't revealed any of his secrets. So I made a second setting and gave him a reason to hide his shortcomings. I hope readers can accept it~
By the way, it should be available tomorrow. I hope all readers can subscribe to support it. At least support the first order~
Testimonials
Another book is coming up!
I should be considered an experienced writer. I started writing out of interest. During the holidays, I was watching "A Certain Magical Index" and complained to my friends about how I would develop my abilities if I had superpowers. My friends said that I had a good imagination and I might as well write it down. Then I wrote my first book.
I won't mention the title of the book. Novice works always have a dark history. If you tell it, you will only end up dying. Besides, the book was deleted by the website a long time ago because it crossed the line.
Well, but I still remember the reason why I gave up on that book. The results were too bad, and there were only advertisements in the review section of the book with more than 100,000 words. I really couldn’t persist.
There's no way, people are always greedy. When they first think about writing something, they feel happy. But after writing it, they feel that it won't be a waste of their efforts if someone reads it and discusses it.
So, I am really grateful to all the readers who are willing to leave comments in the book review section of my book and make comments in the thread.
Every word you leave, even if it’s just a casual emoticon, can provide me with motivation to continue writing.
If you are still willing to support me after the product is put on the shelves, I will be very grateful!
It will be on the shelves tomorrow. I hope to see you in the book review area and in the thread~
Xiusheng is grateful to you~
By the way, Kusen is the name of the snake god in the Monogatari series. Please allow me to solemnly recommend the Monogatari series to everyone. It is really a masterpiece and you will definitely not lose out if you read it~
Well, see you tomorrow~~
Chapter 85 It’s simple, really simple
"That's the situation, Kisuke, what do you have in mind?"
Yoruichi described the problems she encountered in detail, then looked at Urahara Kisuke expectantly, waiting for him to solve her puzzles.
Urahara Kisuke did not disappoint Yoruichi. He just thought about it briefly, then smiled and shook his head.
"Yoichi, your thinking was wrong from the beginning. Let me ask you, what was the reason for Saito Yami to be convicted?"
"Killing colleagues, colluding with the Hollows, and attempting to undermine the stability of Soul Society is treasonous!"
Before leaving Soul Society, Yoruichi Shihouin had already read Saito Yomiuri's information in detail and gave her answer without even thinking.
"That's right. After all, the Saito family is a high-ranking noble family, and they have the support of the Tsunayashiro family. They are not soft persimmons that can be bullied by others. These crimes should not be fabricated out of thin air. They are all things that Saito Yami really did."
Urahara Kisuke nodded with a smile, and there was a hint of sarcasm in the smile on his lips, and he continued to ask questions.
"Let's put the murder of her colleagues aside. Do you think, Yoruichi, that she colluded with the Hollows in order to destroy Soul Society?"
"…It's probably unlikely."
Shihouin Yoruichi thought about it for a moment and then shook her head firmly.
Ordinary Shinigami may be ignorant and fearless, thinking that the Hollows are very powerful and that they can cause destruction to the Soul Society by cooperating with them. However, as the heir to a high-ranking noble family, Saito Yami must know how strong the Soul Society's foundation is.
The 13th Court Guard Squad is only the strongest and most superficial guard force of the Seireitei. In addition, there are many hidden armed forces, such as the Barrier Squad and the Kidōshu.
Take the ghosts as an example. On the surface, they are only responsible for building various barriers and seals. Normally, even people cannot see them and they are inconspicuous.
However, the chief and deputy great ghost Taoist priests can abandon chanting and use all ghost arts below number ninety. The great ghost Taoist priest can even use ghost arts up to number ninety-nine and a large number of forbidden techniques alone, and some forbidden techniques can even stop time.
Their ability to deal with sudden head-on battles may not be as good as that of the captains, but as long as someone cooperates and gives them enough time to chant, it will not be difficult to seal a captain who has used Bankai.
Not to mention, above them is the strongest squad, Squad Zero, which won't take action easily.
Not to mention that Saito Yomiuri is only colluding with lower-level Hollows, even if her partner is a higher-level Hollow, it is impossible for it to really pose a threat to Soul Society. Saito Yomiuri herself must understand this truth.
"So, her purpose in colluding with the Hollow is not to destroy Soul Society, but to gain something from that Hollow?"
With Urahara Kisuke's reminder, Yoruichi finally realized that she had been misled by the information that seemed detailed but was actually exaggerated to convict Saito Yorumi. She couldn't help but let out a disgusted "tsk" and regained her spirit to check answers with Urahara Kisuke.
"So, it is very possible that Saito Yami's appearance in the world is just a trick. Did she go to Hueco Mundo to find that big Hollow?"
"Yes, the answer is obvious, isn't it?"
Shihouin Yoruichi could tell that Kisuke was secretly criticizing her for being stupid and not being able to understand such an "obvious" thing, but she didn't have time to worry about such trivial matters and immediately asked a second question.
"Then why is the tracking device not responding? Logically, even if the target is in Hueco Mundo, the tracking device should be able to stably lock onto her position."
"Yoichi~ I told you to read more books. The answer to such a simple question has long been written in history."
Urahara Kisuke's nonchalant smile really asked for a beating. In order to get the answer as soon as possible, Shihouin Yoruichi controlled her fists and just signaled to her friends with her eyes that if she didn't want to get beaten, she should keep it in suspense.
Urahara Kisuke still had that irritating, mocking smile on his face, and he raised his hands in surrender as he explained.
"About 150 years ago, a captain of a criminal army squad defected. At first, people couldn't find him, and the tracking device couldn't lock onto his spiritual energy.
“It was not until a certain death god stationed in the human world accidentally discovered him and immediately reported the intelligence. After the criminal army captured him, they finally learned how he hid himself.
"The answer is simple. It's really simple. It's just using the void."
Shifengyuan Yoruichi frowned and thought for a while, but still couldn't figure out how to use the Hollow to hide her spiritual energy, so she simply asked to copy the answer.
"Kisuke, please stop being so mysterious. I'm really in a hurry. Tell me what's going on!"
Since his good friend was trying to sabotage him and refused to cooperate with him, Urahara Kisuke shook his head in boredom and could only reveal the answer directly.
"It's very simple. He found a Hollow that was much weaker than himself, cut open its stomach, hid inside it, and then used Hui Dao to heal the Hollow's wounds. He threatened the Hollow from the inside to act according to his instructions.
"The principle of the tracking device is to track the trace spiritual energy that is inevitably released into the atmosphere during the metabolism of the target's life activities. The death god is hiding in the stomach of the void. As soon as the trace spiritual energy released by its own life activities is produced, it will be immediately digested and absorbed by the stomach of the void. Naturally, the tracking device cannot find the target."
Shifengyuan Yoruichi suddenly realized that this was indeed a good way to avoid tracking devices.
As long as the chosen Hollow is weak enough, even if the Grim Reaper takes the initiative to drill into its stomach, there is no need to worry about being digested. After all, a weak Hollow cannot have a strong digestive ability, and it may not even be able to break through the Grim Reaper's body spiritual pressure.
"So, Saito Yami also used this method? Doesn't she feel disgusted?"
It is easy to imagine how bad the environment and smell in an empty stomach would be. Shifengyuan Yoruichi widened her eyes in disbelief, not understanding how Saito Yami, the heir of a upper noble family, a girl who had lived in luxury since childhood and had never suffered any hardship, could have the determination to torture herself like this.
"Don't underestimate other people's awareness, Yoruichi. Your will is strong enough, and your enemies are not necessarily weaker than you. If you are careless, you will suffer~"
Urahara Kisuke smiled and waved his hands. He didn't think there was anything strange about Saito Yami's behavior. He grabbed the air casually, and suddenly spiritual veins appeared in his field of vision. In addition to the red spiritual veins that disappeared when Saito Yami arrived here, there were also several black spiritual veins representing hollows.
"Let's put these Hollow spirit powers into the tracking device and see where they are now. Those in Hueco Mundo should be the ones we are looking for."
Shihouin Yoruichi put away her underestimation of Saito Yami, nodded and began to collect the remaining spiritual energy of the hollow in the air.
"By the way, Kisuke, the records of the criminal army's defection and arrests are probably not released to the public, right? Where did you see these things?"
"Oh, about this. I'm currently researching a cloak that can conceal aura, so I asked my aunt for some information to get some inspiration."
"You went to see my mom! When did this happen? How come I didn't know about it!?"
"Hey, don't worry about such trivial matters~"
"Kisuke! Did you sell me out again? How many secrets did you sell me out to convince that old woman to show you this top-secret information?!"
"Oh my, Master Yoruichi, a boss who pries too deeply into the privacy of his subordinates will be disliked!"
"It's you who sold my privacy, and you're actually blaming me for it!?"
"Oh, I found it, it should be this one, let's set off quickly!"
"Don't try to change the subject! Get back here!"
In the darkness of the night, the touching and deep friendship brewed the fragrance of fists.
Chapter 86: Sneak Attack
"I dug it out! This is it!"
There was some dust on the big rabbit mask. It excitedly took out a stone about five meters square, and with a bit of joy of showing off its "great achievements", it kept handing the stone to Gu Shi.
"Look, it's really hard. I can't bite it no matter how hard I try."
On one side of the stone, one could see some traces of Erlang's flash. Gu Shi nodded in satisfaction.
"That's right. Let's dig two more pieces as a backup and then we can go back."
"Eh? Do we really have to go back? We are all here anyway, why don't we just build a new camp here?"
Tianpeng originally thought that Gu Shi said he wanted to "return" in order to take care of Asido who was unwilling to act together at that time. But now Asido is here, and there is nothing valuable left in the camp, so why should he go back?
"Of course we have to go back. The view over there is wider and there are no annoying stone pillars."
As he spoke, Gu Shi pointed around and motioned Tianpeng to look for himself.
Next to the crowd, every ten or so meters, one can see towering stone pillars that are inserted straight into the "dome". These stone pillars will continue to extend until the tips reach the surface desert, branching out into "branches", forming the dead trees that Gu Shi and others had often seen in the surface desert before.
Tianpeng looked around in confusion, not understanding why these stone pillars were annoying. Aren’t these the most common scenery in the Great Void Forest?
On the side, Asido hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded slightly.
"Gu Shi is right. The open area without the stone pillars will be safer for you."
【Safety?】
Tianpeng was confused at first, but then he suddenly realized that he and others might be attacked by the god of death at any time. Once a battle took place in an area with dense stone pillars, the god of death could easily move between the stone pillars and launch sneak attacks with the high mobility provided by instant step. He and others might even find it difficult to find the opponent, and at that time, a height of over 30 meters would become a huge disadvantage.
On the other side of the camp, there was a vast open area with only a few scattered stone pillars within the field of vision, which would not cause any interference to their side during the battle.
"I see. Thank you, Asido."
Tianpeng's thanks were sincere, but Asido felt a little ashamed. He reminded Tianpeng in order to repay Tianpeng's kindness to him. Returning kindness with kindness and repaying kindness has always been his code of conduct. However, his reminder was undoubtedly a betrayal of the "God of Death".
It is true that the nobles are hateful, but those Grim Reapers who were sent to hunt down Gu Shi are most likely ignorant of the truth, just like he was in the past. They only think that they are practicing justice. If those Grim Reapers were killed by Gu Shi and his men because of the disadvantage in the field, would he also have to bear some responsibility for their deaths?
[No, Gu Shi has obviously thought of this. Even if I don't say it, Gu Shi will explain it to Tian Peng. I should have done nothing wrong...right?]
Shaking his head, Asido comforted himself in his heart not to think too much, and forced a somewhat forced smile to respond to Tianpeng.
"Gu Shi, I dug out two more pieces here. Do you want to continue digging?"
Erlang never doubted Gu Shi's decision. He didn't even listen to the conversation between Tianpeng and Asido. He hurried to dig out two smaller stones.
