Chapter 131 The Massacre of Forty-Six Chambers
I can only say, he is worthy of being Urahara Kisuke.
The betrayal of his Zanpakutō did not waste too much time on him.
After receiving Xia Mu's call.
Soon, two figures walked out from the 12th Division.
Both figures were wearing "gas masks". The former was wearing the captain's haori, while the latter was dressed strangely. They were the captain and vice-captain of the 12th Division, Kisuke Urahara and Mayuri Kurotsuchi.
"How's the situation over there?"
The Technology Development Bureau, with the help of those devices, can monitor the situation of the entire Soul Society. Especially after the signal tower is erected, the intensity of this monitoring is far greater than before. Urahara Kisuke certainly knows that the Gotei 13 is in chaos.
"Except for the damage to the team house, everything is still under control."
Natsuki said to Urahara Kisuke.
Then he revealed his purpose, "I need you to help me find the culprit."
"Do you know who the culprit is?"
A hoarse and gloomy voice came from the side; it was Kurotsuchi Mayuri.
Mayuri Kuroda said to Natsuki very straightforwardly: "I have learned a lot of Urahara Kisuke's research ideas from you. I am very interested in you, Kenpachi. I wonder if you are willing to cooperate with my research?"
"Research? Sliced by you?" Natsuki glanced at Kurotsuchi Mayuri.
Instantly, powerful spiritual pressure was released from him.
Kuroshio Mayuri felt as if he was being suffocated.
Even though he was a captain-level figure and had mastered Bankai many years ago, because he focused all his attention on research, Kurotsuchi Mayuri did not pay much attention to improving his own strength.
After feeling the pressure released by Natsuki, Kurotsuchi Mayuri's body immediately stiffened.
The whole person became more alert.
Just when he thought Xia Mu was going to attack him, Xia Mu smiled again, "Don't be so nervous, I was just kidding. If you have time, we can talk a little."
He put away his spiritual pressure and looked like nothing had happened.
But Mayuri Kurotsuchi became more wary of Natsuki.
Natsuki said to Urahara Kisuke, "If I'm not mistaken, the culprit this time is Kuchiki Hibiki."
"Kuchiki Hibiki? Someone from the Kuchiki family?" Kurotsuchi Mayuri was wary of Natsuki, but also became curious.
"Is it him?" Urahara Kisuke of course also knew Kuchiki Hibiki.
"Kuchiki Hibiki's Zanpakutō is a very special illusion-type Zanpakutō. It can affect other people's Zanpakutō through special suggestion and hypnosis, so that other people's Zanpakutō can be manifested into reality and betray their master. Before this, he had just been imprisoned in the Palace of Confession because of a case."
"So that's it."
Urahara Kisuke explained to Natsuki, "Not long ago, I detected the death of several noble Shinigami, and immediately reported the matter to Captain Kuchiki. Now I know that these people were probably killed by Kuchiki Hibiki who escaped from prison."
The matter of Kuchiki Hibiki involved the Kuchiki family.
Even if Kuchiki Ginrei had guessed it before, it would be impossible for him to tell Urahara Kisuke about it directly.
Xiumu Yinling originally planned to arrest Xiumu Xianghe and end those things directly to avoid causing bigger disturbances. After all, this involved the honor of the Xiumu family. However, he did not expect that before he found the escaped Xiumu Xianghe, Xiumu Xianghe made a bigger fuss.
In this situation, even with the status of the Kuchiki family, it would be extremely difficult to suppress the storm.
"I came here because I want you to help me find the whereabouts of Kuchiki Hibiki."
Xia Mu stated his purpose, "All these disturbances now are caused by Kuchiki Hibiki's Zanpakuto. As long as Kuchiki Hibiki is eliminated, the rebellious Zanpakuto will return to normal."
"I see."
Urahara Kisuke also realized the seriousness of the matter.
Soon, he went to find a gas mask and gave it to Xia Mu.
Wearing a gas mask, Natsuki followed Urahara Kisuke and Kurotsuchi Mayuri to the Technology Development Bureau's Spirit Wave Capture Division. This division has always been responsible for monitoring the movements of Shinigami.
On the way, Natsuki also learned that the poisonous fog covering the 12th Division was the masterpiece of Kurotsuchi Mayuri.
This made him sigh in his heart.
Unlike Urahara Kisuke, Kurotsuchi Mayuri is an out-and-out madman.
If there wasn't some persistence in my heart.
People like him should be humanely destroyed.
In the original work, Kurotsuchi Mayuri has shown more than once that he is willing to do whatever it takes to achieve his goals for the sake of experiments.
Even his subordinates were used as human bombs by him.
It can be said that when he first appeared in the Traveling Invasion Arc, he was positioned as an out-and-out villain. Ishida Uryu's grandfather, Ishida Sogen, died because of Kurotsuchi Mayuri. At that time, Kurotsuchi Mayuri's actions were really not like those of a good person.
Fortunately, as the subsequent plot progressed, Kurotsuchi Mayuri was gradually redeemed, and he even revealed his unique charm.
"Kuchiki Hibiki was a criminal imprisoned in the Palace of Confession before. Normally, all his belongings would have been confiscated. Although we don't know how he got his Zanpakutō back, he probably didn't have a spirit particle communicator on him, so it would be a little difficult to directly locate his whereabouts."
"But it's only a little difficult."
Urahara Kisuke said to Natsuki while operating the instrument, "According to what you said, although Kuchiki Hibiki's Zanpakuto ability is very strange, it will not affect the entire Gotei 13. He must have taken some special measures to cover the influence of his Zanpakuto to the entire Soul Society."
Operating the instrument, Urahara Kisuke soon got the answer. "Sure enough!"
A complicated look appeared on his face. "Kuchiki Hibiki is very smart. He found a Reiwa Tower and injected his own spiritual power into it. With the help of the Reisubo network that spread throughout the entire Seireitei, he was able to cover the entire Seireitei with the power of his Zanpakuto."
Lingbo Tower is the official name of the Lingzi Signal Tower.
"It seems that the establishment of the spiritual network is not all good things." Xia Mu looked at Urahara Kisuke's complicated expression and knew what Urahara Kisuke was thinking at the moment.
Urahara Kisuke nodded.
The establishment of the Reiton Network has made the connection between the Shinigami closer, and the 12th Division can use it to monitor the movements of the entire Shinigami world. However, if someone uses the Reiwa Tower to perform some strange abilities, the existence of these things can allow the opponent's abilities to directly cover the entire Soul Society.
To be honest, if Natsuki hadn't said it, Urahara Kisuke really wouldn't have known that such a strange Zanpakuto existed.
Is Kuchiki Hibiki really the god of death?
His sword was born specifically to target the god of death.
What hatred does the god of death have for Kuchiki Hibiki? Why did he create such a sword?
"found it!"
With mixed feelings, Urahara Kisuke finally found the trace of Kuchiki Hibiki.
After the emergence of the spirit particle communicator, the spiritual pressure of each Shinigami was recorded in the instruments of the Technology Development Bureau.
Even though Kuchiki Hibiki doesn't have a spirit particle communicator on him now.
However, in Soul Society, there are ghosts who can track others through their spiritual pressure.
I am talking about the fifty-eighth way of binding - slapping toes and chasing birds.
……
In the sky above Seireitei.
Covered with a soul-blocking membrane.
The existence of the soul-blocking membrane is like a powerful barrier, preventing Xu from directly opening the black cavity and entering it.
In addition, as the central area of Soul Society, the concentration of Reizo in Seireitei is far greater than that in Rukongai.
Under such circumstances, it is naturally impossible for the Grim Reaper, who possesses a high-intensity spirit particle, to fly.
But today, Xia Mu flew in the Soul Society.
With the help of the special wings made by Urahara Kisuke, he soared freely over the Soul Society.
"No wonder humans have an inexplicable desire for flying. Although the God of Death can float in the sky of the real world, he spends most of his time in the world of spirit particles. Even though he has many extraordinary abilities, his daily life is not much different from that of humans."
Now, with the help of special props, flying above the Soul Society and looking down at the Soul Society from a high vantage point, Xia Mu had a different feeling.
Although Urahara Kisuke still hasn't completed the Shunbo Armor, nor added any weapon modules to the flying item, for Natsuki, he only needs the ability to fly. With the help of flying, he can avoid having to walk a lot less distance.
soon.
He came to the vicinity of where the Kuchiki Xianghe was.
Above the ear, from a special headset, the voice of Urahara Kisuke continued to come out.
This is Urahara Kisuke providing technical support to Natsuki in the Technology Development Bureau, and informing Natsuki of the whereabouts of Kuchiki Hibiki at any time.
Inner court.
In Guanting Street.
Ahead is the location of the Central Room 46.
Looking at the magnificent building ahead.
Kuchiki Hibiki was still wearing the white prison uniform from the Palace of Confession.
His face was extremely pale.
Although he succeeded in spreading Muramasa's abilities through the "Reiwa Tower" to affect the entire Soul Society, it was also very costly for him.
But even so, he did not hide.
Instead, he decided to come here and swing his sword towards the Central 46th Room.
In Kuchiki Xianghe's opinion, the reason why those nobles looked down on him and slandered him was because of the connivance of the Central Forty-Six Rooms.
Central Room 46 shouldn't exist at all.
Soon, he stepped into it.
Screams echoed.
When Kuchiki Xianghe's figure walked out again, his white clothes were already soaked with blood, and his face showed madness and hideousness. The killing did not eliminate his hatred. On the contrary, due to excessive consumption of spiritual power and the influence of Muramasa, he became more and more crazy.
"You attacked Central Room 46?"
A low voice reached Kuchiki Hibiki's ears. Kuchiki Hibiki turned his head and what caught his eyes was Natsuki wearing the captain's haori.
The foreshadowing in the previous chapter will be resolved in a few chapters, which can be regarded as the conclusion of this volume.
