Chapter 629 Master, is it true?

Chapter 629 Master, is it true?

After listening to Kisuke Urahara's story, Lu Li finally figured out what was going on.

To put it simply, the plot follows the original work. Rukia came to the human world to carry out a mission and met Ichigo Kurosaki. At the critical moment, she gave the power of the god of death to Ichigo Kurosaki.

This process was not caused by the world's convergence force. After listening to some details described by Urahara Kisuke, Lu Li could clearly sense that there was an external force at work.

The current situation should be the work of explorers. As for their purpose, Lu Li guessed that they wanted to awaken Ichigo Kurosaki's combat power or plan for the Hougyoku.

Before Ichigo Kurosaki came over, Lu Li talked to Kisuke Urahara about the Hogyoku. Kisuke Urahara said that the thing was too dangerous and he had sealed it. He also reminded Lu Li to persuade Aizen not to continue studying the Hogyoku.

But Lu Li knew it clearly, so he didn't say anything himself. After two hundred years, Aizen must have mastered the Hogyoku thoroughly, so Urahara Kisuke's worries were unnecessary.

The way Urahara Kisuke sealed the Hogyoku is the same as in the original work, he chose to bury it in the body of Kuchiki Rukia.

This time, Soul Society convicted Rukia Kuchiki of secretly passing on the power of the god of death to humans, and her brother was responsible for taking everyone back.

Urahara Kisuke originally thought that this matter was not that serious. After all, it is a crime to privately pass on the power of the God of Death to humans, but this crime is not punishable by death. Moreover, Kuchiki Rukia is a noble. According to the corrupt nature of the Soul Society, they will generally make a big deal out of a small matter.

What's more, the one who brought people back was Rukia Kuchiki's brother, the patriarch of the Kuchiki family. He felt that Rukia might come back in a few days.

But afterwards he received news of the trial from the Central 46th Room, sentencing Rukia to death, which surprised him. After Kurosaki Ichigo woke up from his coma, he did not hide the truth from Kurosaki Ichigo and told the boy the truth, which led to the scene before him.

What kind of personality does Ichigo Kurosaki have? He is a warm-hearted person who would go to great lengths to help his friends. Moreover, he always felt that he was the one who implicated Rukia, so he would never give up on saving his friend.

Although he doesn't know his own capabilities now, this kind of young man with no idea of ​​the immensity of the world and full of energy is precious, and Lu Li admires it a little.

After a brief analysis, Lu Li felt that this was not something the explorer did to test Ichigo Kurosaki, but was probably just trying to get the Broken Jade in a roundabout way.

After all, in the original work, Sosuke has already demonstrated to everyone the feasibility of this plan. As long as they put in a little effort, they can get the Hougyoku.

Of course, Aizen in Soul Society definitely has a God-like perspective and knows everything, but the problem is, based on Lu Li's understanding of Sosuke, there is a 100% chance that Sosuke will not interfere in this matter.

After all, this kind of thing is... very fun for Sosuke.

Who knows, Sosuke might have already started gearing up and preparing to start recording Ichigo Kurosaki's combat data.

As for whether the Hogyoku should stay or go, since Urahara Kisuke's Hogyoku was made of hollow power and did not join the Soul King's organization, Aizen and Lu Li actually looked down on it and considered it a defective product, so they didn't care.

However, Lu Li felt that even if he did not come, the probability of success of the explorers' plan was not high, because in order to collect experimental data, Sosuke would probably help Kurosaki Ichigo in secret, and the explorers would end up losing more than they gained.

Now that he has arrived, he naturally has to intervene, in order to further understand the current situation of Soul Society and train the young Ichigo along the way.

He also received two side quests.

[Side Quest: Save Rukia]

Mission content: Help Ichigo Kurosaki and his crew to save their friend Rukia Kuchiki and overturn her case.

Mission difficulty: Easy ~ Normal

Mission Reward: Heritage Crystal. Large*10
Failure penalty: -1 point for all attributes

This was a very simple rescue mission, and the penalty for failure was not too severe. This was probably because the space had taken into account the variables of other explorers in Soul Society. If Rukia was unreasonably killed by an explorer just after he accepted the mission, it would be too unfair for him to be wiped out.

Although the penalty for failure was not severe, Lu Li did not want to have his attributes reduced. In order to avoid the risk of failure, he planned to contact Sosuke later and ask him to help him keep an eye on the direction of Soul Society.

The last time he was in this world, he gave Sosuke a communicator that was a specialty of the End Space. He didn't know if Sosuke still had it.

If he couldn't get in touch with the person, Lu Li would rescue him with lightning speed, first saving the person and then talking about overturning the verdict.

Overturning the verdict might be a little troublesome, but Lu Li felt that a simple and rough approach, simply killing everyone in the Central 46th Room, might solve the problem.

In addition to this side quest, he also received a special side quest.

[Side Quest: King of Fashion]

Mission content: Because it is detected that the pioneer has a special title "King of Kings", this world is suitable for the promotion of this title. The pioneer can promote the promotion progress of this title by brushing the fashion value points determined by the space in this world.

When the score reaches 10000 points, the task is automatically completed, and a special title upgrade reward will be given after returning.

Mission difficulty: Normal to difficult
Mission Reward: Special Title Upgrade

Failure penalty: -2 to all attributes
Lu Li didn't expect that he would receive a task to upgrade his title. This kind of opportunity is hard to come by and will usually only be triggered when the title fits the world very well and there is a certain intervening medium.

It seems that I came at the right time. I can go through a small plot with Kurosaki Ichigo and get points and the inheritance crystal reward at the same time.

"So this is what happened..."

Lu Li stroked his chin and said, "The corruption in Soul Society has been going on for a long time. Your friend's sentence must be problematic. Why don't I go with you?"

"Master? Really?"

Ichigo said in surprise. Although he didn't know how strong the man in front of him was, if the store manager hadn't lied to him and the other party was indeed his master, then he should at least be a vice-captain level, right?
If the other party is willing to help me, then the probability of rescuing Rukia will be greatly increased.

Different from his attitude towards Chad and Inoue, he doesn't want anyone to get involved in this kind of thing at all, because it is very dangerous, and he always has a sense of responsibility that he should shoulder the responsibility himself.

But it was different with Manager Urahara. He subconsciously felt that the other party was an elder, an "adult", who had more experience than himself in dealing with these matters and was trustworthy.

Besides, since he is his master, he should be a god of death, and his return to Soul Society does not involve any illegal crimes such as smuggling and trespassing.

"Mr. Lu, you..."

Unlike Ichigo Kurosaki who was surprised, Kisuke Urahara was frightened. He looked at Lu Li, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

"It's okay. I just went back to take a look around and chat with old friends. It won't cause any big trouble."

Lu Li said, brushing his hand across his face, and the evil god mask appeared, "No one will recognize me this way, right?"

Urahara Kisuke looked at Lu Li's mask and wanted to complain, saying that we never look at your face to identify your identity!

But seeing that Lu Li seemed to have made up his mind, he had no right to persuade Lu Li not to return to Soul Society, so he simply gave up.

"Manager Urahara, our master..." Ichigo Kurosaki is not a fool. Seeing Urahara Kisuke's attitude and Lu Li's behavior of covering his head, he felt that something was wrong.

"Your master is now also a wanted criminal in Soul Society... for desertion."

Urahara Kisuke held his forehead and sighed, and then he was afraid that Kurosaki Ichigo would misunderstand him, "But don't worry, your master is not a bad person. You can just think of him as being wronged like Rukia, and has been wandering outside for two hundred years."

“Damn it… Why are you in Soul Society so unreasonable!?”

Ichigo Kurosaki was very angry when he heard this, mainly because he had a preconceived idea because of Rukia. He was now very desperate about the judicial system of Soul Society.

Just like he felt that Rukia gave him the power of the God of Death in order to save people, and the God of Death was originally meant to kill the Hollows to protect humans. What was wrong with Rukia taking this desperate measure in desperation?

"Ichigo... this doesn't happen often. I think there's still room for maneuver regarding Rukia's matter."

Urahara Kisuke was a little embarrassed. He was still the serving captain of the Gotei 13, and he felt a little uncomfortable being scolded by Kurosaki Ichigo like that.

However, he had some friendship with Genshiba Isshin over the years, so he was willing to help Kurosaki Ichigo privately.

"Um……"

Ichigo Kurosaki was silent for a moment with a serious expression, then looked up at Lu Li, "Master, I don't want to trouble you with this matter. I can go to Soul Society by myself."

Lu Li was a little surprised, but he immediately understood what Kurosaki Ichigo was thinking.

Ichigo Kurosaki heard that he was also a wanted criminal and had been wandering outside for two hundred years. He was afraid that he would be caught if he returned this time.

Originally, Ichigo thought that his master was a god of death, and that he could serve as a guide for him after he entered. But now he felt that it was too selfish to implicate others.

Saving Rukia should be his own responsibility.

"What are you talking about? You don't even have the power of a Shinigami now, how are you going to save them? Once you get to Soul Society, will you know the way?"

Lu Li said.

Ichigo Kurosaki was speechless and looked at Urahara Kisuke again, but Urahara Kisuke was focused on his heart and didn't respond at all.

Obviously, the most Urahara Kisuke could do was to help him open a portal, and no further help was possible, otherwise he, the serving captain, would be implicated and convicted.

Unlike the original, Yoruichi is still the captain of the second division, and she only comes to the human world to chat with Urahara Kisuke when she is bored. It is impossible for her to accompany Kurosaki Ichigo into the Soul Society and lead the way like in the original.

All it can be said is that once a person's position changes and he is in a position of power, his freedom will be restricted. Even if Urahara Kisuke and Yoruichi think that Kurosaki Ichigo is right, they would not openly help him in Soul Society.

"I……"

Ichigo Kurosaki was a little overwhelmed, and looked at Urahara Kisuke eagerly, "Manager Urahara, didn't you say before that there is a way to restore the power of the god of death?"

"Originally, I didn't want you to go to Soul Society after you regain your strength, but now that your master has said he will help you, I can't hide it anymore..."

Urahara Kisuke said helplessly. He knew that this matter was no longer just Kurosaki Ichigo's business.

He didn't know why Lu Li was so protective of his disciple that even his disciple of a different generation was willing to help him so hard. Even if he didn't help Ichigo Kurosaki recover his strength, Lu Li probably had other ways.

Therefore, it is better to let Ichigo Kurosaki, a reckless boy from an aristocratic family, go for it. This way, there won't be too big a conflict. If Lu Li starts a fight, it will be troublesome.

While they were discussing, there was another knock on the door of Urahara's store.

After opening the door, Ichigo Kurosaki saw three people standing there, the tall Yasutora Chadart, the slender Ishida Uryu with glasses, and the strong cleavage of Orihime Inoue.

"Kurosaki-san, we all heard that we need to go and rescue Kuchiki-san. How can we let you go alone?"

Inoue Orihime said bluntly, "She is also our friend."

Lu Li looked at this scene with an intriguing expression. From a God's perspective, he felt that these boys and girls were truly brave.

All we can say is that there really is a mysterious force protecting them, which is why their plan to rescue Soul Society in the original work went so smoothly.

Moreover, the captains are indeed good people. They have no intention of using harsh measures against the young human boys. Even if they defeat them, they will leave them alive.

How weak are these people?

Take Ishida Uryu for example, his comprehensive attributes are... 50 points.

Even if he tried his best and used the Soul-Dispersing Gloves, his damage would probably only exceed 100.

Not to mention Inoue Orihime and Chad, they are extremely weak. It’s a good thing they are in Soul Society, if they went to Hueco Mundo to save people, they would probably be beaten to death.

Next, there was another round of tug-of-war between Ichigo Kurosaki and a few of his friends. In the end, he couldn't resist and had to agree to go to Soul Society to rescue people together, with Lu Li in charge of navigation.

During this period, the kind-hearted Kurosaki Ichigo repeatedly reminded his master Lu Li that he must hide his identity well when he arrives in Soul Society, for fear that Lu Li would be arrested after being exposed, which would implicate his master.

"Now that it's settled, let's get started."

Lu Li smiled, "Urahara-kun, you are responsible for helping Ichigo regain his shinigami power, and I will teach these kids."

"I really can't do anything about you. When you get there, don't say you were trained by me. I still want to work in the Technology Development Bureau for a few more years."

Urahara Kisuke looked helpless. He activated the Kidō, unlocked the basement, and led everyone in.

Ichigo and others were surprised that there was such a large space under the Urahara Store. Even Ishida Uryu, who thought he was knowledgeable, looked left and right but could not figure out how this place was built.

Kisuke Urahara took Ichigo to the prepared pit, ready to let Ichigo fight to the death to see if he could recover his strength.

Lu Li did not directly provide intensive teaching to the three boys and girls who were looking at him eagerly. Instead, he took out a communicator from the storage space and called the other party.

After three seconds, the communicator was connected.

"Mr. Lu?"

A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.
