Chapter 628 1 Guard, Call Master

Chapter 628 Ichigo, Call Master!
"Come on, tell me first. You are a defector from Soul Society now. If someone sees you here, you won't be able to explain yourself."

Urahara Kisuke invited him. He didn't have a very good relationship with Lu Li back then, but they were acquaintances who they dealt with frequently.

Besides, he was a smart man, and he knew what the Zero Squad was up to, so he didn't think Lu Li was a "fleeing from the crime".

If you must say it, Lu Li made great contributions in the battle against the Quincies and the battle at the opening of the Hell's Gate. He is at least the heroic captain of Soul Society. Even if their illegal experiments in studying the Hogyoku were exposed, their merits and demerits should be offset.

Taking into account the fact that all of the four noble families except the Tsunamiyo family have a relatively good relationship with Lu Li, even if Lu Li is brought to court for trial again, the matter will most likely come to nothing, so why would Lu Li "flee for fear of crime"?
This was also the reason why the Gotei 13 were so excited back then, because Squad Zero was clearly bullying, not only did they not give an explanation for Lu Li's disappearance, they also "slandered" Lu Li for fleeing for fear of crime.

It’s just that Lu Li disappeared for too long, so the matter slowly passed and was defined in official documents.

Of course, those Death Gods who have been around for two hundred years all have their own names in their hearts and know what is going on, so Lu Li's invisible reputation in the Gotei 13 is still very high.

It is also reflected on Lu Li’s personal menu panel, and his current reputation is still at the legendary level.

"You seem to be the captain now? Don't you need to bring soldiers to open a shop here?"

Lu Li asked curiously after entering Urahara's shop. He saw that the goods sold here were all things that living Shinigami could use when performing missions, such as artificial bodies, grim reaper pills and the like.

"Hasn't the Gihunmaru been updated in recent years? I'll test the stability of the product. If there are any problems, I can help the living god of death to solve them."

Urahara Kisuke explained, "But you, you disappeared for two hundred years, what do you want to do now that you're back?"

He speaks in a lighthearted tone, always laughing and joking, but there is seriousness in his eyes.

The new generation of the God of Death may not know, but he knows how terrifying Lu Li is. He is the captain of the court guard who once was known as Kenpachi.

He didn't know what Lu Li had experienced back then, but being labeled a traitor by Squad Zero, given Lu Li's personality, he didn't think he would endure it.

And if Lu Li returns, he is very powerful, and if a conflict breaks out again, Soul Society will probably be plunged into another bloody storm.

"Don't be so serious."

Lu Li waved his hand, as if he had read Urahara Kisuke's thoughts, "I am a person who cherishes old friendships. My friends are still my friends. Mr. Yamamoto has also been very kind to me. I will not mess around in Soul Society."

As he spoke, he casually picked up a product on the shelf and examined it, jokingly saying, "When I saw you opened a store, I thought you were also banished to the human world, and I was wondering if I should live with you."

"If Mr. Lu wants to stay here, I welcome you too."

Urahara Kisuke smiled and said, "But speaking of being demoted, there are Shinigami who left the Gotei 13 in Karakura Town, and they are your students."

"Oh?"

Lu Li was a little surprised when he heard this, "What's going on?"

In fact, when he used his observation Haki to sense the entire city, he had already discovered a familiar spiritual pressure, but it was a little weak and unstable. He was probably injured.

"Shiba Isshin."

Urahara Kisuke explained, "Don't say you forgot. That was your apprentice who received the apprenticeship ceremony. He was not just a student in an ordinary classroom."

"I know it was him. I was asking him why he came to the human world."

Lu Li was really confused. Shiba Isshin was one of the five great nobles. Because of Sosuke's instructions, he should not have caused any trouble before he came. Why did Shiba Isshin still come to the world?
"It's a long story..."

Urahara Kisuke glanced at Lu Li meaningfully, "You are also responsible..."

Next, he told Lu Li the details of what happened.

Lu Li was dumbfounded after hearing this. He didn't expect that this matter was somewhat related to him. At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh at the convergence of the world line, which could even be done by Kurosaki Ichigo.

It turned out that after he was classified as a defector, although the Soul Society's Gotei 13 were dissatisfied, it was ultimately an organization that operated according to rules and regulations, and there was no riot or war or anything like that. At most, they were just dissatisfied in their hearts.

Mr. Yamamoto is the guardian of the rules. Regardless of whether he can win or not, it is impossible for him to personally lead the charge to attack the Spirit King Palace and get things done.

But on the other hand, Hueco Mundo is different.

Originally, with Lu Li taking the lead, Hueco Mundo had maintained a good cooperative relationship with Soul Society, with the intention of jointly governing the three realms and maintaining the balance of spirit particles.

But when Nel, Xiao Wu and others in Hueco Mundo learned that Lu Li was missing and was defined as a defector by Squad Zero, they were very angry.

Even though Lu Li had said earlier that he would travel far away to practice, Squad Zero's words still made them worried. They felt that this was Soul Society's way of settling scores and that they had secretly dealt with Lu Li.

Therefore, in a rage, he almost attacked Soul Society to demand the person back.

If it weren't for the calmer Stark and Harribel stopping them, they would have already started a war with the Soul Society. This was also because Lu Li had said before that he would try his best to ensure friendly coexistence among the three realms.

Eventually, Kyūyāgu gave up on waging war with Soul Society, but a rift still arose between them, and they later severed ties with Soul Society, and everyone went about their own business without interfering with each other.

Under such circumstances, Lu Li's good roommate Sosuke felt a little uncomfortable. All his experimental equipment and other assets were kept in the laboratory in Hueco Mundo. As a result, due to the sensitive situation, it was not very convenient for him to go to Hueco Mundo to do research. He could only occasionally use his shadow clone to do some key experiments.

In recent years, Aizen has been in cahoots with Urahara Kisuke for a long time, and even used Urahara Kisuke's Technology Development Bureau to conduct some sensitive experiments.

Anyway, Urahara Kisuke had already boarded the Hogyoku ship back then, so Aizen was not afraid that Urahara Kisuke would report him, and the two of them often exchanged research results.

In recent decades, Aizen has rarely gone to the Hueco Mundo, so the supervision there has been relaxed.

Then a scientist in the Hueco Mundo let himself go, and classmate Sal Apollo committed suicide one after another. He first tried to break through himself and split himself into two Hollows, but ended up degenerating himself.

In order to get himself back to the top, he continued to study the artificial Vastrod that Aizen and Lu Li had created before, and as a result, he accidentally created "Hyaku".

This guy was not strong enough and was helped by Kyobaku to escape from the laboratory. As luck would have it, after coming to the real world, he ran into Isshin Shiba and Masaki Kurosaki who were on a mission in Karakura Town.

The following plot is similar to the original. Shiba Isshin heroically saves the beauty. Both of them are seriously injured, and finally they get married and have children in the real world.

Because Shiba Isshin lost his power as a Shinigami, and because he married a sensitive Quincy, he was so blinded by love that he simply refused to return to Soul Society. As a result, the Shiba family was directly squeezed out of the top five noble families by the Tsunayashiro family, and directly declined.

Urahara Kisuke knew the inside story of the Hollow because he asked Aizen, who then said that it was not him who did it, but he expressed his interest in the matter and told Urahara Kisuke the truth after investigating. It seems that Sosuke has been paying attention to Ichigo Kurosaki's growth recently, because he is very curious about what will happen when one person gathers the power of the Shinigami, the Quincy, and the Hollow.

After understanding the whole story, Lu Li wanted to clap his hands, it was amazing!

Can this be resolved?

The convergence power of the world line is indeed extraordinary.

Lu Li also heard from the group that in the derivative world, the birth of the protagonist is usually very restrained, and they will try their best as long as there is a little chance.

But sometimes there is really no way out, and the protagonist of the original work will not be present in a certain reincarnation of the world. This situation is sometimes a good thing and sometimes a bad thing.

For example, in the current world of Bleach, the birth of Ichigo Kurosaki is a good thing for ordinary explorers. At least it means that the plot has not collapsed to the point where they cannot understand it at all, and they can also try to cling to Ichigo Kurosaki, a young man with a strong sense of justice.

But for Lu Li, it is not necessarily a good thing, because Ichigo Kurosaki is very weak now, but since he was born, he naturally has the aura of the protagonist.

If you want to extract the complete fragment of the World Core from him, you must wait until Ichigo Kurosaki becomes stronger, and then Lu Li may have to spend a lot of effort to train and discipline Ichigo Kurosaki.

Otherwise, by the time he kills Yhwach, Ichigo Kurosaki will not be strong enough, and that would be troublesome.

Of course, Lu Li would not complain about the birth of the protagonist. After all, he still liked the protagonist like Kurosaki Ichigo who had a strong sense of justice and was unpretentious.

"Boom boom boom——"

As they were talking, there was a hurried knock on the door.

Just as he was talking about the devil, after Urahara Kisuke opened the door, a handsome young man with orange hair came in.

“Manager Urahara! I’m going to Soul Society… cough cough cough…”

The boy coughed a few times while speaking. There was nothing wrong with his physical body, but from the perspective of the god of death, one could see that the boy's soul was still wrapped in bandages.

The Grim Reaper is a magical creature. As a life form condensed from a high concentration of lepton, its life characteristics are actually no different from those of living humans, and it can also bleed and get injured.

There were obvious knife wounds on Ichigo Kurosaki's soul body that had not yet healed, and his soul locks and soul chains were broken. It was obvious that he could not transform into a god of death and fight for the time being.

Seeing Ichigo Kurosaki like this, Lu Li was a little confused again and looked at Kisuke Urahara.

Urahara Kisuke scratched his head, not knowing how to explain for a moment, so he chose to comfort the anxious Kurosaki Ichigo first, "Ichigo, don't worry, your injury hasn't healed yet, and it's useless to say more, just sit down and have a cup of tea first."

As he said this, he spread his hands towards Lu Li, "Also, I've met your master."

"It's not time for tea now! They said they want to execute Rukia! I have to rescue her!"

Ichigo Kurosaki raised his voice so loudly that the wound on his soul body almost broke open in his anxiety.

After the pain subsided, he became more sober and suddenly realized that there was something strange mixed in Manager Urahara's words.

"Master?"

Ichigo Kurosaki looked puzzledly at the man in black who was sitting cross-legged in front of the coffee table, sipping tea leisurely. He thought to himself that he didn't even have a master, so where did this master come from?
"Kurosaki Ichigo, right? He looks a lot like your father when he was a child."

Lu Li looked up at Kurosaki Ichigo and greeted him with a friendly smile.

But Ichigo Kurosaki inexplicably felt a momentary palpitation. He felt that this master had a very evil aura and did not look like a good person at first glance.

But he also knew that judging people by appearance was very rude. In addition, the other party's words had a huge impact on his mind, so he couldn't help but focus on the key point of the question, "You... you know my father? No, from what you said..."

Ichigo Kurosaki was a little confused, but seeing Lu Li smiling and nodding, he could only accept this outrageous guess.

"Yes, your father is the god of death, otherwise how could you and your sister have such strong innate spiritual powers?"

Lu Li casually revealed the whole story of Ichigo Kurosaki, which made Kisuke Urahara look strange.

Because Kurosaki Isshin had told Urahara Kisuke not to tell his son about his life experience, but he himself never said it, but Lu Li told Kurosaki Ichigo as soon as they met.

"My bastard dad... is the god of death?"

Ichigo Kurosaki's face was full of disbelief, in his impression his father was just a second-rate doctor in a clinic, who spent all day joking around with them at home, and didn't look like a god of death at all.

And if it was the God of Death, why did he hide it from him and pretend that he couldn't see the soul all day long?
Now, whenever Ichigo Kurosaki thought about himself transforming into a god of death and running around under his father's nose, he felt an inexplicable sense of shame.

"He was before, but now he's probably injured and his strength is unstable. You can consider your father retired."

Lu Li explained casually, then looked at Urahara Kisuke, "By the way, shouldn't you explain this to me?"

Urahara Kisuke looked innocent, "You two didn't even give me a chance to explain. Let's calm down and sort out the situation first."

He pulled Ichigo Kurosaki to sit down, so that the restless boy would stop shouting and yelling about rushing to Soul Society.

"First of all, Ichigo, I know you have a lot of doubts, but they are not important. You can go home and ask your father later. What you are most worried about now is Rukia, right?"

Urahara Kisuke comforted Ichigo Kurosaki and told him not to pursue Kurosaki Isshin's identity for the time being, otherwise he would tell the story he just told Lu Li at length, and Ichigo would not be able to understand it.

"Yes, Manager Urahara, you saved me before, so there should be a way for me to regain my power as a Shinigami, right?"

Ichigo Kurosaki said, with hope and expectation in his eyes.

Urahara Kisuke nodded, "Yes, there is, but I think I need to let your master figure out the situation first."

As he spoke, he looked at Lu Li and poured new tea for everyone, "Mr. Lu, the truth is this..."
