Chapter 198: Those who transcend reincarnation, a huge crisis!
In the team leader's room.

The captains' meeting was officially convened.

This matter is of no trivial matter. In Soul Society, one can actually see the streets of the real world. This means that the two worlds are very close. If this matter is allowed to continue to evolve, it is very likely that the three realms will collapse and the world will be destroyed.

Naturally, when discussing this matter, someone mentioned Aizen, and it was inevitable to speculate that this matter was related to Aizen.

After all, it was such a coincidence.

Just after the turmoil in Soul Society ended, something happened in the human world. It is hard not to wonder whether these things are related. When Aizen was in Soul Society, he officially declared war on them.

I have to say that this speculation makes sense.

After someone brought it up, although the other captains did not agree with it, most of them believed it in their hearts and determined that this matter had a lot to do with Aizen.

Aizen's threat status in the eyes of the Gotei 13 also rose to a higher level.

However, the most important thing is to find out the key to this matter and then resolve the crisis. If the Soul Society and the real world are allowed to get close to each other, it will cause extremely terrible consequences. Once the worlds collide, it will no longer be reversed.

At that time, all existence will be annihilated with the destruction of the world.

"So, who is willing to go to the real world to investigate?"

During the meeting, after Kisuke Urahara informed everyone of the seriousness of the matter and the results of the Technology Development Bureau's investigation, Captain Yamamoto began to question everyone again.

Many captains looked at each other.

Finally, an unexpected figure stood out.

"Let me go!"

Everyone looked at the person who stepped forward, and what came to their mind was the battle on the Double Killing Hill that day.

In that battle, although Aizen finally escaped and did not die, the heroic appearance and powerful strength of Natsuki when fighting with Aizen made many captains feel swayed in a short period of time and they could not forget it for a long time.

Especially the captain of the 9th Division, Kensei Rokuguruma.

He promoted a cult of personality within the 9th Division, and the 9th Division was even nicknamed the Six-Car 9th Division.

He is extremely confident in his own strength.

However, this confidence was completely crushed when facing Xia Mu.

That day he saw Xia Mu trying to stop the execution, so he chose to confront Xia Mu. Unexpectedly, he was defeated after just one encounter.

In the past, when he was fighting, he liked to use the phrase "I won't waste too much of your time" as his catchphrase and told it to the enemy. When he was fighting with Xia Mu, this phrase was indeed proven true. He did not waste too much of Xia Mu's time and was quickly defeated.

Recently, whenever Liu Che Quanxi thought of this matter, he felt so angry that he trembled.

For someone like him who cares a lot about his reputation, it would be very painful to lose it.

If anyone is to blame, it's that he was too impatient at the time, so why should he take the initiative to stand up?

At this moment, after seeing Xia Mu take the initiative to step forward, the scene of that day once again emerged in Liu Che Kenxi's mind.

Unlike Rokuguruma Kensei, the other captains did not fight Xia Mu directly.

They sighed one after another.

"Captain Xia Mu is actually interested in this matter?"

Kyoraku Shunsui's tone was subtle.

Xia Mu said: "I once taught Kurosaki Ichigo for a few days. He can barely be considered my disciple. He was the first one to inform our Gotei 13 about this matter. The place where those owed souls appeared was also in Karakura Town."

"If your guess is correct, this matter is related to Aizen, and an ordinary captain goes to Karakura Town, he will most likely fall into Aizen's scheme."

"In the end, like Captain Shiba back then, he was unfortunately killed."

"I know Kurosaki Ichigo, and I am confident that I can handle Aizen, so it would be most appropriate for me to go."

There was deep confidence in Xia Mu's words.

But the other captains didn't think there was anything wrong with what Xia Mu said.

After all, they had seen the scene of Natsuki and Aizen fighting on the Hill of Two Deaths.

If Aizen didn't have a backup plan, Kenpachi Natsuki would have killed him.

However, when Hitsugaya Toshiro heard Natsuki mention Shiba Isshin, his expression was extremely complicated.

Before Xia Mu stepped forward, he actually thought about going to the real world to investigate himself, just like his own captain did back then.

But then I thought of Aizen's strength.

Does he have the ability to deal with Aizen?
not at all.

Even though he had never seen the release of Kyoka Suigetsu, Hitsugaya Toshiro had no confidence at all when he thought of the terrifying spiritual pressure that Aizen had unleashed.

"In that case, Captain Xia Mu will go to the human world to investigate this matter."

Captain Yamamoto said to the captains.

Although Natsuki is the captain of the 11th Division, which is responsible for combat, after years of contact, Captain Yamamoto knows very well that Natsuki is not a reckless man who only knows how to fight, and his strategy and IQ are also extraordinary.

As for the 11th Division leaving the captain?
He knew that in the 11th Division, there were many strong men at the captain level. In terms of comprehensive strength, the 11th Division could be regarded as the leader of the Gotei 13. For such a division, it would not be a problem even if the captain was temporarily absent.

As for the personnel who would accompany Natsuki to the present world for investigation, Captain Yamamoto did not select any, leaving it to Natsuki to decide on his own.

This matter is over for now.

At this moment, another unexpected figure stood up.

"I'll go with Captain Xia Mu."

"If there are two of us, we can take care of each other."

……

With the help of the gate, go to the present world.

Although a special space had appeared in the Broken World before, and it appeared in the passage to the real world, there was not only one passage to the real world. Over the long years, Soul Society had built countless passages.

These channels are stabilized through special techniques.

As you walk in it, there are hell butterflies leading the way.

The god of death can go to the real world through them, and the souls in the real world, after being buried by the god of death, will also use these channels to come to the Soul Society under the guidance of the Hell Butterfly. This can be considered a kind of reincarnation.

But this process is not smooth sailing, and there are always some unexpected events.

For example, some souls did not follow the guidance of the Hell Butterfly to the Visual Soul Society, but left the passage on the way, fell into the Broken World, and got lost in the Broken World.

Of course Xia Mu couldn't be lost.

Under the guidance of the Hell Butterfly, he and his companions headed towards the present world.

The speed of time in the Broken World is extremely fast, and the ratio with the real world is 1:1000, so there is no need to worry about wasting time here. On the way, Xia Mu turned his head and asked Ye Yi beside him, "Why did you volunteer to go to the real world with me to investigate?"

"Why, can't I go investigate with you?"

Yoruichi asked back to Natsuki.

"It's not this reason, but because there have been so many things involving the nobles recently. As the head of Shifengyuan, shouldn't you be dealing with the aftermath? You should be very busy." Xia Mu said to Yoruichi.

He and Ye Yi are old friends who are very familiar with each other.

For a period of time, we often stayed together.

But then again, in recent years, although he would occasionally visit Shifengyuan's house, he didn't spend much time alone with Yoruichi. Instead, he often spent time alone with Urahara Kisuke. He seemed to have become a frequent visitor to the Technology Development Bureau.

There is no way. Over the years, various crises have emerged one after another. In order to deal with these hidden enemies, we must make more preparations.

"Don't mention those nobles." After hearing Xia Mu's words, Ye Yi couldn't help but sigh.

"It is precisely because matters involving these guys are too difficult to handle that I want to go to the human world with you to relax."

"It's not easy to be the head of a noble family."

"Sometimes I even wonder whether I should give the position of head to Yushiro."

Xia Mu listened to the complaints in Yoruichi's words, raised his eyebrows, and said: "As for Yushiro, he is still so young, maybe he can be the head of Shifengyuan, but can he really be qualified for the position of captain of the second team?"

"So, we can only learn from the Shiba family and give up the position of captain of the second squad!"

It seemed that Ye Yi had really thought about this matter seriously, and she shared some of her thoughts with Xia Mu.

"Sui Feng already has the strength of a captain. It's actually a good idea to let her be the captain."

"Then you'll be relieved." Xia Mu looked at Ye Yi with strange eyes.

Yuushirou becomes the new head of Shihouin, and Soi-Fong becomes the captain of the second division. Isn't this the same situation in the original work? The difference is that in the original work, Yoruichi was forced to leave Soul Society, and this situation was formed out of necessity.

Because Yuushirou did not have the ability to be the captain at that time, he could only take over the position of the head of Shihouin, and the captaincy was handed over to Soi Fong, the head of the Bee family who was attached to the Shihouin family.

And now, it was Ye Yi himself who came up with such thoughts.

"Yes, this will indeed make me feel a lot more relaxed." Ye Yi nodded, "However, when I think about throwing all those important tasks to others for my own ease, it really doesn't make sense, so it's better for me to work harder."

Upon hearing this, Xia Mu couldn't help but look at Ye Yi deeply.

They walked together all the way, and finally, light flooded into their eyes.

They walked out of the passage, stood above the sky, and looked down from above. Below them were the lights of thousands of homes.

At this moment in the world, it is already night.

It is no wonder that the title of the God of Death contains the word "God". In this world, in front of ordinary humans, their performance is indeed almost the same as that of gods. They possess extremely powerful strength and can stand in the sky.

Apart from anything else, just the sight of standing above the sky is enough to soar one's self-confidence.

"Where shall we go next?"

Yoruichi asked Natsuki who was beside him.

Natsuki often sneaks into the real world with Urahara Kisuke, and Yoruichi knows about it. Natsuki is very familiar with the real world. Although she volunteered to come to the real world with Natsuki to investigate this time, Natsuki is still the leader.

"It's already night time. It's not appropriate to go directly to Kurosaki Ichigo. Let's find a place to stay for the night first."

Natsuki said to Yoruichi.

Then, he took Yoruichi straight to Inoue Orihime's house.

Among Ichigo's friends, Inoue Orihime and Chad Yasutora both live alone.

Especially Inoue Orihime, whose life story is quite pitiful. Her parents died early, and she lived alone with her brother. But her brother also died in a car accident before she met Ichigo. Now she is a complete orphan. Although it is already night in the real world, fortunately it is not late at night.

When Natsuki and Yoruichi arrived at Orihime's house, Orihime was still awake. She was... watching TV.

Well, it fits what might happen when a person stays at home.

"Inoue-san, you haven't slept yet!"

A deep voice reached Inoue Orihime's ears.

Inoue Orihime, who was watching TV alone, was stunned when she heard the voice.

She was a bit of a naive person, so she immediately turned her head and looked around, but found nothing.

So, her eyes fell on the TV again.

Xia Mu had to remind her again.

"We're outside the window."

Inoue Orihime then looked out the window and found two figures outside the window.

"Ah, it's you!"

After seeing the man's figure, Inoue Orihime exclaimed immediately.

She recognized Xia Mu.

On that day in Soul Society, she and Uryu Ishida lived in the Technology Development Bureau and were no stranger to Natsuki.

Soon, Inoue Orihime opened the window, and Natsuki and Yoruichi were able to come in. Natsuki stated the purpose of his visit. Because of some things, he had to temporarily come to the human world and hoped to stay overnight at the Inoue family.

Inoue Orihime agreed to Natsuki's request without much hesitation.

She is the only one in her home.

The rooms that once belonged to her brother and parents are now empty, so there is no problem with several people living in her house.

Because it was still early, Inoue Orihime had no intention of going to bed. After settling Natsuki and Yoruichi, she kindly invited them to watch TV together.

Natsuki and Yoruichi did not refuse.

Although Yoruichi is the head of Shihouin, she is not familiar with the real world because she has stayed in Soul Society for a long time. She is very curious about televisions, a new thing that does not exist in Soul Society.

As for Xia Mu, he was simply reminiscing about the past.

After spending so many years in the ancient and backward world of Soul Society, it was inevitable that he felt emotional when he suddenly saw these things in the real world.

Unknowingly, he had been assimilated by Soul Society and turned into an old antique.

That night, Natsuki and Yoruichi temporarily dealt with each other at Inoue Orihime's house.

The next day.

Ichigo carried his schoolbag and went to school. At school, Orihime Inoue found him directly and told him that there were two special beings who wanted to see him, which made Ichigo very curious.

However, Inoue Orihime also said that the other party did not seem to be in a hurry, so he could still have time to talk after school.

So, Ichigo waited until school was over, full of curiosity.

After school, Ichigo immediately went to Inoue Orihime's side.

Yasutora Chad and Uryu Ishida noticed this scene and were also curious, so they subconsciously moved towards them.

Inoue Orihime noticed that several of her friends had gathered around her, but she didn't say anything.

After all, when Xia Mu asked her to pass on the message, he did not deliberately mention that she needed to avoid a few companions.

Inoue Orihime brought Ishida Uryu, Chataro Yasutora, and Kurosaki Ichigo straight to her home.

Ichigo was initially confused as to who Inoue was talking about.

Until, he saw Natsuki and Yoruichi.

He was not familiar with Yoruichi, he only knew that she was the captain of the Gotei 13.

But he was no stranger to Xia Mu.

After pondering for a while, Ichigo asked Xia Mu: "Teacher, how did you come to the human world?"

After hearing this title, Inoue Orihime, Chataro Yasutora and Ishida Uryu couldn't help but look at Ichigo. If they remembered correctly, the wanted criminal Aizen Sosuke who committed a serious crime in Soul Society was also Ichigo's teacher.

It was with that person's help that day that they were able to enter Soul Society.

As a result, Ichigo now calls the god of death in front of him "teacher".

Ichigo has too many teachers.

"Of course there is something important, otherwise I would not have come to this world."

Xia Mu said something nonsense.

But to Ichigo, these words did not sound like nonsense.

He had been to the Soul Society and knew that because of Aizen, the entire Soul Society had fallen into turmoil, and now the situation within the Soul Society was extremely chaotic.

Normally, the Gotei 13 are extremely busy.

As a result, the two captains now choose to come to the human world. What a big deal is this?

Could it be that Aizen did something again?
Ichigo began to speculate.

Soon, Natsuki told Ichigo the truth.

"Did you tell Vice Captain Shiba something through the Shinigami proxy certificate?"

Ichigo nodded.

“Yeah, I met a special group of guys.”

He repeated to Xia Mu what he had told Zhiba Kaiyan that day.

"What you met should be a soul-deductor!"

Xia Mu said the name of that special monster.

"Owing a soul?" Ishida Uryu, Chataro Yasutora and Inoue Orihime all looked at Natsuki. It was the first time they had heard of this name.

They were actually present when the monsters appeared that day.

Naturally, I am curious in my heart.

So, it still has to be Soul Society.

Soul Society really knew what that thing was.

"Reincarnation is a kind of order between heaven and earth. Souls go from reality to Soul Society, and then from Soul Society back to reality. This is reincarnation. One of the duties of the God of Death is to maintain this reincarnation. Although some souls may fall into the Hueco Mundo and become Hollows, as long as the Hollow is killed with a Zanpakutō, the original soul will be purified and return to reincarnation."

"But among the countless souls, there will always be some special beings. They accidentally get lost in the Broken World and transcend the cycle of reincarnation. When these souls gather together, they will merge and transform into a brand new space, appearing in the Broken World. This phenomenon is called emptiness."

"Hollowness is a very special phenomenon. It is not the first time that it has appeared in the long history of Soul Society. Generally speaking, there is no need to actively interfere with this phenomenon. After a while, they will disintegrate on their own. The energy and memories in the soul will return to the real world and enter a new cycle of reincarnation."

"Among them, the monster you encountered is the part of it that belongs to the soul energy, that is, the lack of soul, and the part of it that contains memory is called the Missing Pearl."

"When the two are reunited, they will become a new soul."

"But now, there is only the soul debt, but no Missing Pearl, which is naturally a problem."

"More importantly, this time the floating phenomenon appeared in the passage between Soul Society and the real world."

"This new space is very special. It is like a mirror, reflecting both worlds. You may not know that before this, the sky of our Soul Society reflected the streets of the real world."

"So, the appearance of this floating phenomenon is not accidental?"

After listening to Xia Mu's story, Ishida Uryuu, who was very attentive, noticed the hidden meaning in Xia Mu's words and asked, "What consequences will there be if we let this kind of thing go on?"

"Consequences?" Xia Mu paused and gave an answer, "As long as this new space continues to expand, it will completely replace the passage between the real world and Soul Society and become the place connecting the two worlds."

"If this world still exists, it's fine. But if it doesn't exist and begins to collapse inward and destroy itself, then Soul Society and the real world will continue to move closer together."

"These are two extremely large worlds. Their masses are extraordinary. When they touch each other, human power will no longer be able to stop them. At that time, both worlds will be destroyed, and the aftermath of the destruction will destroy the surrounding worlds and affect Hueco Mundo, and then Hueco Mundo will also fall into destruction."

"At that time, the three realms will return to chaos."

"!!!"

Ichigo and the others' expressions changed drastically.

Although they are young and are only high school students, they can understand the seriousness of the matter better than mere children.

The destruction of the world is a terrifying thing just to think about.

"Is this matter also related to that guy named Aizen?" Ishida Uryuu asked Natsuki again.

Ichigo felt mixed emotions upon hearing the name of his other teacher from Ishida.

"do not know."

Xia Mu gave the answer neatly and clearly.

"The Soul Society is still in a mess right now. The situation is extremely bad. There is no chance to find out whether this matter is related to Aizen."

"Rather than investigating whether this incident is related to Aizen, the most important thing right now is to resolve this crisis."

Xia Mu stated the purpose of this trip.

Ichigo also quickly expressed his opinion, "Teacher, if you need my help, just let me know."

The Soul Society was able to discover this incident because he informed the Soul Society of his encounter with the owed soul, so it can be considered that he has some kind of relationship with it.

For Ichigo, who is still a bit immature, protecting the world is naturally a duty-bound thing.

Ishida Uryu, Chataro Yasutora, and Inoue Orihime also expressed their willingness to provide their help.

"Very good." Xia Mu nodded, "I have seen your good intentions."

Inoue Orihime couldn't help but ask, "What do we need to do next?"

Xia Mu told the next arrangement, "Try to find the trace of the Missing Pearl."
