Chapter 255 [Black Winged Demon Ulquiorra Cifer] (6k)
"Ding dong."
In a luxurious apartment, Russell rang the doorbell and waited quietly for the owner to open the door.
Generally speaking, members of the logistics department who can work at the association’s headquarters, even if they are not card makers, will have a high salary on weekdays.
So Russell was not surprised that the first person he visited, Xiao Xu, lived in a luxury apartment.
Moreover, Xiao Xu is not a native of Donglai, so the probability of him renting a house is higher.
By the way, when he just wanted to enter the community, he was stopped by a five-star general at the gate. Fortunately, after he showed his ID, the other party also slid away at the speed of light, and asked if he wanted to help him find a property manager, but Russell politely refused.
After all, no one knows what will happen next. If something related to Guiyi Sect is really found out, letting these ordinary people know will only harm them.
After waiting for a while, seeing that no one opened the door, Russell frowned slightly and released his mental power: "Hmm?"
Out of respect for other people's privacy, he did not use his mental power to scan the situation inside the house.
However, as soon as he released his mental power, he discovered a very weak breath of life in the house.
With a flash, Russell, led by the ghost soldier, entered the house from the shadow under his feet.
At this time, he naturally didn't care about his privacy.
Feeling the breath of mental feedback, Russell pushed open a door.
The furnishings in the room were obviously a bedroom, and his target was lying unconscious on the bed with a weak breath.
"Sure enough, he is similar to Lao Yu."
As soon as he saw Xiao Xu, Russell knew that he had made the right choice this time.
Because the young man lying on the bed at this moment looked exactly like Yu Hengrui, with a haggard face and a shriveled body.
However, Yu Hengrui could still move, but Xiao Xu in front of him had completely lost the ability to move.
"Sister Lie, please take a look."
Nodding to Unohana Retsu who appeared beside him, Russell quietly watched the woman wearing the fourth squad captain's haori step forward to check on Xiao Xu's condition.
By the way, he also asked the ghost soldiers to clean up the house and prepare some hot water and porridge.
In other words, Xiao Xu lives alone and has no family, otherwise he wouldn't have to worry about these things.
Fortunately, he didn't have to do it himself. The ghost soldier might have received further training while taking care of Xiaoyu, and he has been adept at this kind of thing since he was created.
After a long while, Unohana Retsu turned to look at Russell with a slightly puzzled look on his face: "I don't see any problem."
Hearing this, Russell's heart sank. He still remembered that when he visited Yu Hengrui before, he also said that the doctor said there was nothing wrong with his body and it was just an old illness.
But now that Xiao Xu is almost dying, he doesn't believe that there is really no problem.
"Try to reply."
With the attitude of trying everything possible, Russell asked Unohana Retsu to use Huido to treat Xiao Xu. Maybe a miracle would happen.
There was a faint light in the room, and Xiao Xu still looked as haggard as before.
However, Russell and Unohana Retsu stared at him intently, because they both saw each other's eyelids move just now.
Unfortunately, after a long time, Xiao Xu still didn't open his eyes.
After thinking for a while, Russell prepared to consult an expert.
He summoned out the three gold-level cards he had on display.
Misaka Mikoto can provide CPR and electrotherapy, and as a great scientist, Aizen might be able to discover some unusual problems.
As for Luffy
Luffy, go play.
"Shall we start now?" Misaka Mikoto put her left hand in the pocket of her frog sweatshirt, with a flash of electric arc in her right hand, looking eager to try.
Russell pulled the corner of his mouth and held the girl down: "She's not dead yet, don't worry."
Then he turned to look at Aizen: "Any ideas?"
Aizen had an interested smile on his face. He carefully looked at Xiao Xu on the bed, then looked at Unohana Retsu beside him: "Captain Unohana, can you please use Kaido again?"
Unohana Retsu glanced at the brown-haired man when he heard that, and a faint light flashed on his hand again.
As Xiao Xu's eyelids moved, Aizen touched his chin thoughtfully.
After a while, he seemed to have thought of something and said, "Captain Unohana, please use Kaido a few more times."
Unohana Retsu did not hesitate, but used Huidao several times in a row without hesitation.
As several rays of light fell on his body continuously, Xiao Xu's eyelids began to tremble violently.
Seeing this, Aizen turned to Unohana Retsu and said, "You should have noticed it too, right?"
Unohana Retsu on the side frowned slightly and said, "It seems that the Huidao has been absorbed by something and it has no effect on this child."
Hearing what the two said, Russell raised his eyebrows slightly, and then summoned a prop card.
【Medium for extracting soul and foreign matter】.
You should know that Huidao is essentially a healing ghost technique for repairing injuries of the soul and body. Although it has become a general healing ability due to the interference of the mysterious space, it does not mean that it has lost this ability.
Plus the reactions of Unohana Retsu and Aizen.
"Cough cough."
A weak cough sounded in the room, but Russell didn't care. Instead, he stared at the thing that appeared in the center of his palm.
A wisp of scarlet blood?
Russell finally understood why Aizen suddenly generated the item card [Soul Foreign Object Extraction Medium] some time ago. It turned out that he was waiting here.
No, it should be said that related abnormalities should have appeared in the city as early as that time.
He carefully placed the blood into the teacup brought by the ghost soldier, and kept it in the Shadow Kingdom before turning his attention to the bed.
"woke up?"
At this moment, Xiao Xu heard the voice coming from his ear. He forced himself to open his eyes and found that there were many figures in the bedroom looking at him quietly.
Before he could react to what was happening, a ghost soldier came forward and lifted his upper body against the head of the bed.
"Meet the President?!"
Only then did Xiao Xu notice Russell standing behind the man and woman beside the bed, as well as the bored girl and the young man in a straw hat at the door.
His first reaction was that he had taken too long of a leave of absence and the president was angry and came to fire him.
However, before he could say anything, Russell seemed to have seen through his thoughts and said, "I'm not here today because of your request for leave."
"Think carefully about whether anything strange has happened recently."
Xiao Xu was stunned, and then he saw his slightly withered palms.
As a member of the logistics department who could work at the association's headquarters, he was naturally not a fool. He immediately realized that he was probably not simply sick, and immediately frowned and began to recall.
After a long while, he said hesitantly, "It seems."
“Nothing strange about it.”
Hearing this, Russell couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He sighed and patted the other person's shoulder: "Then you have a good rest, I will approve your leave."
"There's some hot porridge in the kitchen. You can have some first."
After saying this, he put away his cards and left the apartment.
Xiao Xu stared blankly at the bedroom that was suddenly empty. After a long while, he scratched his head and said, "The president is a very nice person."
Outside the house, Russell stood quietly for a while, and only left after making sure that Xiao Xu was fine.
According to the report submitted by Lao Wang before, Xiao Xu was not the only one who was absent so frequently.
"There's nothing wrong with it?"
In the dark night, Russell muttered to himself in confusion.
Just now, he had visited the homes of the association members who were absent one by one.
Some of them took leave simply due to physical discomfort, while others were in the same situation as Xiao Xu.
Fortunately, with previous experience, the problem was easily solved.
But the strange thing is that no one remembered that there was anything wrong.
Fortunately, since they are all members of the association's headquarters, the distance between their residences is not far.
"Forget it. I still have to go find Old Yu anyway. I hope he can find something wrong."
Now that there is a treatment method, Russell will naturally go to Yu Hengrui.
If it was caused by Guiyi Sect, then there is nothing to say, but if it is really the other party's body is about to fail
Then Russell also needs to report, and ask the Qiluka Teacher Association to prepare in advance to send a new director of the Human Resources Management Department to Donglai.
In other words, no silver-level card maker in Donglai has broken through to the gold level in recent days, otherwise there wouldn't be so much trouble.
As Russell rang the doorbell, Yu Hengrui opened the door with a surprised look on his face: "President?"
Russell didn't waste any words and said straight to the point: "I think I know what your problem is."
As he said that, he took out the [Soul Foreign Object Extraction Medium].
Yu Hengrui looked confused as he watched the young man in front of him operate the machine.
The next moment, in the middle-aged man's horrified eyes, a wooden arm suddenly stabbed into his chest.
"Russell?"
Yu Hengrui looked at the chest in astonishment as the arm was pulled out but remained intact.
"Eh?"
He now felt that his whole body suddenly felt much more relaxed.
However, a streak of scarlet blood was floating on the palm of the young man opposite.
Yu Hengrui then realized that his physical problems were definitely not caused by the recurrence of old injuries.
His expression suddenly became serious: "President, come in and talk."
Russell followed him all the way to the living room, sat on the sofa without any hesitation and asked, "Director Yu, did you find anything unusual a few days ago?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Hengrui lowered his head and began to think.
After a long while, he said uncertainly, "If you want to tell me what's wrong."
"My physical condition started to deteriorate after President Sima was assassinated that day."
"I'm afraid it was the trick that day."
"Let me think about where I've been that day."
While he was thinking, Russell provided another piece of information: "It's not just you, Director Yu, who is affected. Many people are affected."
Hearing this, Yu Hengrui frowned even more tightly.
After a long while, he let out a long breath, took a sip of the hot tea that the ghost soldier had just brewed, and said, "No."
"like."
"cough"
Yu Hengrui suddenly looked at the teacup in his hand in surprise, then turned to look at Russell and said blankly: "My body."
"It's back to that again."
Hearing Yu Hengrui's words, Russell took out the [Soul Foreign Object Extraction Medium] again without any hesitation.
next moment.
The two gold-level card makers stared at the imperceptible trace of blood in Russell's hand.
"Director Yu, does your water come from the water plant in this area?"
At this moment, Russell felt that he had grasped the clue and asked in a deep voice.
Although he didn't know why he was not affected after drinking the same water, it did not stop him from setting his sights on the water plant.
"Because I'm not injured? Or some other reason."
Russell couldn't figure it out for a moment, but he wasn't going to dwell on this problem.
"Is it just a random effect?"
He thought of several members of the logistics department whom he had visited before. Some of them were not alone, but lived and ate with their families, but their families did not have any problems.
After hearing Russell's question, Yu Hengrui nodded heavily: "Yes."
Russell nodded slightly: "I understand."
"Director Yu will come to the headquarters tomorrow, so don't alert them tonight."
Yu Hengrui was stunned. He felt that the best option was to launch a surprise attack now.
But since Russell, the president, has said so, he won't refute it. "Okay."
Underground, in front of the blood pool.
Li Shuo looked at the huge monster that was gradually occupying the entire blood pool in front of him, and asked Cliff beside him: "It shouldn't take long, right?"
But who would have thought that Cliff frowned and looked at the instrument in his hand: "Normally it will take two days."
"But several eggs just disappeared."
"I have already set it so that no one will be harmed before activation."
Li Shuo couldn't help but curl his lips when he heard this: "With that kind of sucking, I think it's normal for an old guy to lose his life because he couldn't stand it."
After hearing what Li Shuo said, although Cliff was still a little confused, he felt that what the middle-aged man next to him said made some sense.
However, to be on the safe side, he decided to speed up the process a little, but the cost would be an increased chance of being discovered.
After setting the parameters, Cliff breathed a sigh of relief, a smile appeared on his face, and he said to Li Shuo: "In two days, your long-cherished wish will be fulfilled. Don't forget the agreement with us then."
Li Shuo glanced at the researcher and said casually, "Don't worry, I won't forget it."
Although he wanted to go back on his word, thinking about the consequences of offending the demon army, he felt it would be better to fulfill his promise honestly.
Seeing a satisfactory answer, Cliff said no more words, but just folded his hands and looked quietly at the treasure in front of him created by their demon army.
After returning home, Russell actually knew that the best option at the moment was to directly raid the water plant, but he always felt a little uneasy in his heart, so he planned to convert the materials on his body into combat power first.
“I originally wanted to save up some points first.”
Russell sighed with some regret, then took out his mobile phone and opened the points platform.
Looking at his remaining points of 9050, he couldn't help but feel fortunate that he had some left over from the last time he made Luffy.
"I hope I can exchange it for a gold material, otherwise I'll have to make do with purple."
Russell's eyes flashed with materials, and suddenly, he stopped his fingertips.
"【Heartless Soul】(Gold), price: 8900 points"
Without any hesitation, he took the photo instantly.
While waiting for the materials to arrive, Russell made sure that there was no one around and then called out Spider-Man. He wanted Spider-Man to identify the origin of the blood.
----
【Blood of ？ ？ ？】
Level: ???
quality:? ? ?
category:? ? ?
Introduction:
The body will no longer be a burden to me, and the spirit will no longer be a shackle to me.
I will transform into a dragon.
----
"?"
Russell was a little confused for a moment. Apart from an introduction, there was no other important information about Spider-Man's identification.
This was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
Usually, Spidey could at least identify a name.
"Is Li Shuo planning to become a limb-replacing demon?"
Russell muttered to himself somewhat puzzledly, according to the introduction.
But that's impossible. You have to know that becoming a limb-replacing monster will definitely reduce your combat effectiveness compared to a card maker.
Even if he could become an emerald-level limb-removing demon, it would not be worth it in Russell's opinion.
"Tsk, there is still too little information."
He rubbed his eyebrows with a headache.
Just when Russell was thinking about what Li Shuo was trying to do, the last piece of material was delivered to his residence.
Fortunately, the material transfer location is not far from Donglai, and the gold-level card makers used by the association to escort the materials are all specialized in speed and defense. After all, they don't have to beat others, as long as others can't kill them or catch up with them.
After successfully signing for the materials, Russell took them upstairs.
Looking at the [Hollow Demon Bat] (red), [Void Walker] (red), and [Heartless Soul] (gold) placed in front of him, he took a deep breath, picked up the pen and began to paint on the blank card.
Soon, a man with short black hair, pale skin, and two dark green tear marks on his face appeared on the card.
【Please start compiling your story. 】
[In Hueco Mundo, a long time ago, a pure white Hollow named Ulquiorra Cifer was born, who only had vision. 】
[Because he was ostracized by his companions, Ulquiorra wandered alone in Hueco Mundo, and on the way he saw a white bush. 】
[Ulquiorra, who has been pondering the ultimate philosophical question of who I am, decided to bury himself in this grove. ]
[But as he approached the bushes, the white mask that originally covered his face gradually broke, gradually revealing his original appearance.]
[After evolving, Ulquiorra set out on his journey again. ]
[Although he doesn't like cannibalism, when faced with a fellow being with only the primitive devouring instinct, he still has no choice but to take action. ]
[After all, this is the law of survival in Hueco Mundo. ]
[As the battles get more and more, he becomes stronger and stronger. ]
[He heard that there was a force called the Palace of Night in this desert, ruled by a powerful Great Hollow.]
[But he had no interest in joining the other party, nor did he have any interest in competing with the other party.
[Until that day, a powerful being named Aizen came to him after defeating the Lord of the Palace of Night. ]
[The brown-haired man used the Hogyoku to transform him into an Arrancar, mastered the power called Return to Blade, and became the fourth of the Ten Espadas.]
[Looking at the ordinary Hollow trembling under his own Return Blade, Black Winged Demon, he touched the Hollow hole on his chest and couldn't help asking himself. ]
【What is the heart?】
Since Russell already has a lot of cards in the Death series, the car card this time was much smoother than other cards.
"No wonder everyone likes to play with the same lineup until death."
He also understood at this time why most card makers liked to make cards from the same series as before.
In addition to the possibility of bonds, the difficulty of card making will be greatly reduced.
He put the card floating in front of him into his mind and began to check the information.
----
[Black Winged Demon Ulquiorra Cifer]
Level: Gold
Quality: red
Category: Biology

[Ring Turn]: The high-speed displacement ability used by the Arrancar to move.
[Hollow Flash]: A common skill for all Hollows, and as one of the Ten Espada, Ulquiorra also possesses derivative skills such as the Hollow King's Flash.
[Returned Blade: Black Winged Demon]: The powerful ability possessed by the Arrancar allows it to release its own power and unlock even more powerful forms.

[Heart of Nothingness]: As one of the Ten Blades whose death is represented by "nothingness", Ulquiorra has been pondering a philosophical question throughout his life, which is what the heart is. Because he has no heart, he is not affected by emotional effects when in battle.
Introduction: Heart, what is that?
Advancement: Gold level [Black Winged Demon·Ulquiorra.Cifer] → Emerald level [No.4·Ulquiorra.Cifer].
羁绊:
When it appears at the same time as the [Stark] series, the effect [Peak of Hueco Mundo] can be activated.
----
"Sure enough, there is no way to generate the second stage of the return blade ability."
Although the gold-level Xiao Wu did not generate the Second Stage of Blade, Russell was not disappointed. After all, when he made up the story, he only made up that Xiao Wu had just become a Decadent under the control of Lao Lan, and he was not yet the terrifying existence that would be the only one who could perform the Second Stage of Blade in the future.
"Most of the abilities are the same as Nel, but the strength should be much improved."
Although Nel also has characteristics such as [Steel Skin] and [Super-Speed Regeneration], her strength is definitely not as good as that of the gold-level Xiaowu.
"By the way, Xuye Palace should have unlocked Xiaowu's ability."
Thinking of this, Russell immediately checked the information of [Xuye Palace].
----
[Between Nothingness]: Activated when holding [Ulquiorra Cifer].
No.4: In the familiar palace, Ulquiorra Cifer’s strength will be greatly enhanced.
Nothingness: When [Kyouyagu] reaches Emerald Level, [Ulquiorra Cifer] in battle will gradually affect the surrounding enemies, making them confused. (Banned)
Another possibility: When [Kuroyagu] reaches diamond level, [Ulquiorra Cifer] will gain a new stance [The World of Nothingness]. (Banned)
----
“It’s like this again.”
"What exactly is the new attitude?"
Russell scratched his head. He was sure that he had never seen relevant content in the original book before traveling through time.
The key problem is that [Xuye Palace] must reach diamond level to unlock it, which makes him very itchy but there is nothing he can do.
After putting away the two cards, Russell immediately began to think about another thing.
He was wondering whether he should try the item card [Unstable Collapse Jade (Experimental)] (One-time).
But after thinking for a long time, he chose to give up.
It's mainly a one-time thing, and it's really a waste just to experiment.
Seeing that there was still some time before sunrise outside the window, Russell prepared to meditate to recover his mental strength.
Early in the morning, Russell called several gold-level card makers from the headquarters to the president's office with a serious face.
After Yu Hengrui's explanation, Lu Yan and the other two quickly understood the situation.
After a moment of silence, Zeng Bo was the first to ask, "Then President, shall I go and organize the people now?"
But Russell waved his hand and said, "If this is really the Guiyi Sect's lair, too many people would only alert the enemy."
"Let's go together."
"But Director Zeng, remember to tell your subordinates to be on standby at all times."
"As for Director Yu, you should stay at the headquarters to coordinate. Your body is not suitable for risking your life with us."
After arranging everything, the four of them quickly arrived at the water plant which was highly suspicious.
After arriving, Russell and his companions did not alarm anyone, but secretly explored the water plant to see if there was anything unusual.
After a long while, Lu Yan frowned and said, "Strange."
"How come everything is fine?"
Russell thought for a moment and decided to let Luffy come out and search using his Observation Haki.
After a few breaths, Luffy scratched his head and said, "I didn't find anything, Russell."
Hearing this, just as Russell and the others were about to find another way, the young man in the straw hat continued, "But I heard a sound underground."
"Someone kept shouting why, it hurts."
Hearing this, Russell and the other three looked at each other.
You have to know that in their spiritual power, there is nothing underground.
There is no doubt that the Guiyi Sect group has the means to block detection.
“No wonder it went undiscovered for so long.”
If Luffy's [Listen to the Voices of All Things] hadn't come into play again, the four of them might have really made a wasted trip today.
Russell said to Zeng Bo calmly, "Director Zeng, go inform the factory manager here and ask him to evacuate the people in the factory immediately."
"What will happen next."
"It won't be small."
