Chapter 329: Secret Interrogation

Chapter 329: Secret Interrogation

Ye Yi watched Lu Li shatter her ghost path and shrugged: "After so many years, you still have no sense of humor. At least you are in front of my subordinates. Will you die if you cooperate with me?"

"It's just that I didn't sense any hostility when you attacked me, just like I didn't have any murderous intent. Otherwise, would you dare to come around behind me like that?"

As Lu Li spoke, he put away his Shikai state and the spiritual pressure around him was restrained, making it impossible for Soi Fong, who was following behind Yoruichi, to tell his depth.

"Tsk, you're still as crazy as ever. If it weren't for Aizen asking me to do that, I wouldn't be working here."

Ye Yi said unhappily, "After I finish your process, I will let you know clearly who is stronger now."

Lu Li raised his hands in surrender, "Then I'll trouble you, Commander-in-Chief of the Secret Mobile Force."

"That's pretty much it."

Yoruichi smiled and waved his hand, "Little Bee, let's go, pack up."

"Ah? Master Yoruichi, aren't you going to search for the other soldiers? Since this soldier Lu Li was able to escape through the black cavity at the anomaly, then the other soldiers..."

Soi-Feng was a little puzzled, thinking, isn't their basic mission to search for people who disappeared last month? Why did they call it a day after finding the missing people from 70 years ago?

"That's Hueco Mundo. The chances of survival are very low. I will arrange for people to continue searching here later."

Yoruichi said casually, to be honest she didn't think those people could survive, she came here just to try her luck based on Aizen's analysis, who ever thought she could really find Lu Li.

And she was not allowed to take the risk of entering the Hueco Mundo. Lu Li fought his way out on his own.

Most likely, Daxu was forced into a desperate situation and opened the black chamber, and found an opportunity to follow and run over here.

However, Soul Society has not yet conducted a systematic study to come to a conclusion on the correspondence between the location where the Black Chamber opens in the Hueco Mundo and its landing point in the human world. Yoruichi also felt that it was very suspicious that Lu Li came out from the area she was investigating.

But after observation and communication, she was sure that Lu Li in front of her was the person she knew, so her vigilance was reduced a lot, and she had no intention of sending him to prison.

"Is this really good?"

Shuifeng muttered quietly, and stole a glance at Lu Li, wondering what kind of story Master Ye Yi had with this man.

"What's wrong with that? Let's go back to Soul Society and figure out what happened to this guy first."

Ye Yi looked at Lu Li with eager eyes. If you didn't know better, you might think she was going to torture him. But in fact, she was just curious about how Lu Li survived in Hueco Mundo.

Without any urging or binding, Lu Li followed Ye Yi's footsteps.

He understood that there would be many doubts about returning in this way, but rather than returning directly to the real world and letting Yoruichi find him, returning in a way that would involve too many guesses, it would be better to kill Yoruichi in front of him.

This at least proves his position that he is still a god of death fighting against the void.

As for the randomness, Aizen also took it into consideration for himself. This place, which was later called Karakura Town, was originally a singularity.

He disappeared here seventy years ago, and the Grim Reapers also disappeared here a month ago. So his return through the frequently opened black cavity here can also be said to be the result of his own reverse reasoning.

It was just that Yaichi happened to come to the present world to investigate and witnessed his return.

Although there are still many doubts, no matter what he does, it is beyond common sense that a weak Shinigami back then could come back alive from Hueco Mundo. Whether it will arouse the suspicion of the top leaders depends entirely on the report that Yoruichi finally gives.

"You really have to thank Aizen this time. If he hadn't begged me, I wouldn't have come here. After all, there are many missions that require covert maneuvers."

Although Yoruichi said this, she was eating snacks she bought from the real world while walking, and she didn't look like she was "busy with official business" at all.

Soi-Fong also wanted to complain, saying that Master Yoruichi was clearly having a great time in the real world these days, as if he was on vacation.

But she also knew that what Yoruichi said was not lying. Due to the preparations for the war to attack the Quincies, the tasks of covert maneuvers have been very heavy recently. Yoruichi was probably too tired to bear the disturbance and escaped to the human world to give herself a vacation.

"Combined with your order just now, Yoruichi, can I assume that, apart from Sosuke, no one in Soul Society has thought about how to rescue me in these years, right?"

Lu Li asked back.

Ye Yi paused, a little embarrassed, "I actually thought about looking for you, but I was just a student at that time. Your situation is usually judged as death, which is normal."

Seeing Lu Li silent, Ye Yi added, "Don't think too much. It's a good thing that you can come back. The captain and Captain Unohana will be very happy when they know it."

She knew that the Gotei 13 were rather indifferent in their attitude towards the missing members, and she might feel disheartened if she were in Lu Li's shoes.

But as the commander-in-chief of the Secret Mobile Force, she also understood the difficulties faced by the Gotei 13. Normal disappearances were relatively easy to handle, as most of them were people lost in the real world, and their Secret Mobile Force could go and search and rescue them.

But Lu Li was clearly determined to be lost in Hueco Mundo, so how could they search and rescue him? Could they really find a way to enter Hueco Mundo? That was too unrealistic.

It is impossible for Soul Society to lose more combat power in order to save one person. Hueco Mundo is an extremely dangerous place for most Shinigami.

It can be said that except for captain-level figures, it is impossible to move freely in Hueco Mundo, and he is the only captain-level figure in the Secret Mobile Force... Facing the extremely vast Hueco Mundo, there is nothing they can do.

So Yoruichi understood the cold approach of the Gotei 13, but from a personal emotional point of view, she did feel that the missing members would not be able to accept such an outcome.

"Forget it. I'm alive now, so tell me about Soul Society's latest news."

Lu Li said with a magnanimous look that even though he had learned a lot from Sosuke, he still wanted to hear about Soul Society from Yoruichi's perspective. This also fits in with the setting that he had been away from Soul Society for many years.

While chatting, several people stepped into the gate.

Compared to the virtual opening of the black cavity channel, the gate is much more stable. Even a weaker god of death can pass through without condensing the landing point of the spirit particles under his feet.

…………

"Yeyi, sometimes, I really wonder what happened to you over the years?"

Lu Li sat on the chair, feeling the bound body, and looked at Ye Yi, who was holding a small whip and stepping on the gap between the stools. "Have you awakened some strange attribute?"

Snapped--

Ye Yi swung the whip, making a sound in the air, with a sly smile on his face, "Student Lu Li, scream a few times so that I can record that I have tortured you and that you are clean."

"Ah——It hurts, I'll take it all..."

Lu Li weakly read, "Are you satisfied with this? Is this process really necessary? Is your Xingjun Prison an SM base?"

"Tch, it's boring."

Yoruichi threw the whip aside and waved to the outside, "Next item."

Lu Li used his spiritual pressure to break the ropes on his body. "Such a long-winded process, it feels like even those who have no intention of rebelling will be forced to rebel. Who designed this?"

"Who else could it be? Isn't it all decided by those old men in Room 46? I think it's stupid too."

Ye Yi blurted out a rebellious remark, causing Xing Jun, who was masked and in charge of recording, to sweat profusely. He didn't know whether to write this sentence or not. "It's really stupid."

Lu Li agreed.

Most of the old antiques in the Forty-sixth Room were born in the five great noble families of Soul Society. In theory, there were also many people from the Shihouin family. Their personal strength might not be that great, but they were the real rulers of the Soul Society.

Even Captain Yamamoto had to act according to the rules they set, but Lu Li felt that this was probably because the captain himself was very upright and believed that rules were very important for management.

The biggest obstacle for Lu Li to return right now is the Central Room 46. Even if Ye Yi helps him get away with it, if the Room 46 brings it up again later, he might be disgusted again.

It’s just that Lu Li is not someone who can stay in Soul Society for a long time. He can only stay in the mission world for six months at most, and he will leave when the time is up. As long as nothing serious happens during this time, there will be no problem.

Even if something went wrong, he could just run back to Hueco Mundo.

"Well, the next step is the subsequent record. I ask questions and you answer them..."

Ye Yi sat at the table, snatched the pen from Xing Jun's hand, and signaled him to leave with his eyes.

She is still confident about the confidentiality within the Xing Army. No one will betray her, the commander-in-chief of the secret mobile force. In terms of keeping her mouth shut, no other team in the Thirteen Court Guard Squadrons could compare to her.

After a long and tedious interrogation, Lu Li finally cleared his name under Ye Yi's instructions.

"I'm really tired, come here and let me beat you up."

After completing all the formalities, Yoruichi threw the documents aside, stretched his shoulders and said, "This is the deal between Aizen and me."

"But you didn't get my consent?"

Lu Li has no hobby of being beaten.

"You are such an ungrateful fellow. Then take a step back and let's have a sparring match. Let me see if your fighting skills have improved."

Ye Yi said eagerly, she couldn't wait to get back at him.

Although she had felt Lu Li's powerful spiritual pressure before and witnessed his powerful record of killing Yachukas, she felt that Lu Li must have focused on the swordsmanship of Zanpakuto during the years fighting in Hueco Mundo and must have fallen behind in the field of Hakuto.

She just wanted to regain her position in the field where she was good at, and had no intention of fighting with Lu Li in real battle.

"you sure?"

Lu Li looked at Yoruichi with a strange look. In his opinion, Yoruichi's spiritual pressure was really not that good. He was barely qualified to be a captain. When his spiritual pressure was fully activated, his external attributes would probably be around 84 points.

If she uses the instantaneous coaxing technique she developed, Yoruichi's actual combat strength cannot be underestimated, but she should be at the bottom of the current Gotei 13.

As for the field of fighting, Lu Li classified it as a specialization in close combat. He has not fallen behind in this field and has now reached the grandmaster level.

"Heh, we haven't seen each other for seventy years. Do you still think it's the same as before? You'll know if you try it in the martial arts arena."

Ye Yi got angry whenever she saw Lu Li's eyes. Even though she had matured a lot compared to the past, her obsession with defeating Lu Li had not diminished.

In order to train their members, the Secret Maneuvers has the largest training ground among the Gotei 13, and it is hidden beneath the surface of the Soul Society. After all, the identities of the people in their team are usually kept secret, and so are their strengths.

Therefore, the secret maneuvers will not allow outsiders to observe their training, and it is kept secret from most people.

"That's good. I haven't fought anyone in a long time."

Lu Li grinned.

…………

A figure in black tights was blown away by the explosion and hit the wall of the underground training ground, causing the entire underground space to tremble.

Ye Yi's curvy figure was embedded in the wall, and she struggled hard to get out. She coughed up blood, and there were some bloody marks on the unprotected areas on both sides of her back. Her instant consolation was also interrupted by the powerful attack just now, and the spiritual pressure in her body was disrupted.

"Sorry, I couldn't control my power for a moment."

Lu Li walked over from the opposite side and said something that seemed extremely sarcastic to Ye Yi.

"You are still a disgusting guy..."

The corner of Ye Yi's mouth twitched, and he grimaced in pain when he moved his body, "No more hitting, no more hitting, wait until I perfect the instant coaxing, then I will teach you a lesson."

She waved to a shocked subordinate to come over and help her with the minor injuries. "You really don't understand the ways of the world. I helped you, so why can't you let me win for once?"

"If I let you go, you'd probably be even more annoyed, right?"

Lu Li asked back with a smile.

Yoruichi was speechless for a moment, "That's true, but I'm a little unhappy that the deal I made with Aizen was completed in this way. You're right, this is the deal between me and him, why not just change it to beating him up."

Lu Li really wanted to complain to Sosuke that you can’t beat him…

But he still held back, mainly because he wanted to turn the tables on Sosuke and see how he would act. That scene must be very interesting, right?
At this time, while Lu Li and Ye Yi were having a friendly discussion, the conclusion of the report on the secret maneuver had already been sent out.

In addition to submitting a record to the Central 46th Office in accordance with the procedures, the report was also sent to the captain-general. The Fifth Division, which was the court defense team where Lu Li originally served, would also receive a report.

In the First Squadron's barracks, Captain-General Yamamoto Genryusai was enjoying his afternoon tea, his eyes slightly narrowed as he sipped his tea, just like an ordinary kind old grandfather.

"Captain, here is a new report from the secret operation."

A voice somewhat ruined the mood by interrupting the captain's afternoon tea, causing the old man to exude an unhappy mood when he opened his eyes.

At the same time, he looked at Chojiro who was walking towards him with some confusion. As his trusted subordinate, Chojiro knew best that this period of time was a rare moment of free time for him and he usually would not handle official business.

He would not be disturbed unless there was an emergency.

But he clearly remembered that there was nothing urgent in the current task list of the secret maneuver.

"Choujiro, is this an emergency?"

The captain spoke calmly, the aroma of tea floating in front of him, shrouding him like a steady Mount Tai in the clouds.

It is this calmness of his that always makes the Gotei tai feel at ease when facing big events.

Chojiro walked to the captain, knelt down across the tea table, and pushed the report across the table. He concluded, "It's not an emergency, but the news from the secret operation said that they found Lu Li and brought him back to Soul Society."

The next moment, Mount Tai collapsed.
