Chapter 20 The disappearance of soul incident!

Xia Mu is actually a very thoughtful person.

After being unable to do strenuous exercise in his previous life, he suffered from the pain of illness, which made his mind more delicate. He began to care more about the attitudes and thoughts of the people around him.

This time, after an unexpected encounter with Kenpachi Zaraki.

Natsuki realized at the first moment that there were some unknown secrets hidden in Kenpachi Zaraki.

It was no coincidence that the other party appeared in this Rukongai.

However, Natsuki had no intention of prying into Kenpachi Zaraki's secret.

Everyone has their own secrets, and there is no need to get to the bottom of everything. Just like Xia Mu himself, he also has secrets. His biggest secret is his identity as a "time traveler."

Return to the Soul Society.

Natsuki first went to the 11th Division and handed over the mission to the deputy captain Gosuke and reported on the mission. He did not tell Gosuke about his encounter with Kenpachi Zaraki.

After the task is handed over.

Xia Mu started practicing again in the 11th Squadron.

His life is actually very monotonous.

Perhaps he had witnessed the powerlessness of the God of Death in the face of the Hollow when he first came to this world, and later witnessed the deaths of many members of the expeditionary force. For him now, the biggest goal is to work hard to improve his strength. Only with sufficient strength can he survive in this dangerous world.

As for the future, whether his goals will change, that is also a matter of the future.

Time passes quietly.

In the blink of an eye, several months passed.

A few months is actually a very short period of time for the Shinigami living in Seireitei.

Due to the long lifespan of the Shinigami, social progress in Soul Society is exceptionally slow.

In the past few months, Xia Mu, in addition to helping Gosuke with team affairs, has been running back and forth between going out to slash the void and practicing. He does not feel bored, on the contrary, he can feel his own progress.

Apart from anything else, during this period, he finally broke the last layer of membrane.

It sounds a little incredible that he successfully mastered the "Shikai" of his Zanpakutō.

Xia Mu, as a third-rank master, didn't even master the initial release.

But if you consider that this is the 11th Division, it doesn’t seem strange.

In the original work, Kenpachi Zaraki, the captain of the 11th Division, did not master the Shikai. It is very normal that Natsuki, a third-rank officer, cannot master the Shikai.

"Xia Mu, take a look at this document."

In the captain's room, captain Kenpachi Zaraki was absent as usual.

Next to the captain's desk is the desk of the deputy captain Gosuke. At this moment, he is sitting behind the desk, handling tedious team affairs. Natsuki comes to assist Gosuke as his assistant.

While Gosuke was signing various documents, he suddenly issued a latest report and handed it to Natsuki.

After spending several months together, Gosuke and Natsuki have become more familiar with each other. They no longer put "seat" after each other's names, but call each other by their names.

Xia Mu took the report and started reading it.

The content of the report was very simple. It was basically that the 12th Division had recently monitored that a large number of souls suddenly disappeared in Rukongai. They suspected that there was some conspiracy and did not know whether it was caused by Hollows or something else. Therefore, the matter was reported to the 1st Division. Then the 1st Division drafted a formal document and issued it to the entire Gotei 13, asking all the Shinigami of the Gotei 13 to be vigilant. If they found similar things while performing missions in Rukongai, they should report them without hesitation.

"I will convey this to the team members." After reading the document, Xia Mu knew what Gosuke meant and spoke immediately.

Gosuke said nothing more.

After helping Gosuke deal with some team affairs and relieving some of his pressure, Natsuki conveyed the contents of the report to the members of the 11th Division, just asking them to pay a little attention to it later. However, Natsuki was not sure whether the members of the 11th Division would listen to him or not.

After all, they are just a bunch of reckless men.

After finishing these things, I received news that the Great Hollow appeared in Rukongai.

Without saying a word, Xia Mu, who had the highest seat besides the captain and vice-captain, took action.

He didn't bring more team members to help. If it was an ordinary hollow, Xia Mu alone would be enough.

If it is a mid-level Daxu, it is a high-level Daxu.

Now Xia Mu has mastered the Shikai. After using it, it is hard to say who will win.

It is still the wilderness of Rukongai.

It seems that when the Void descends, they all like to choose this type of area.

There are very few Hollows that can directly descend into the central area of ​​Rukongai.

However, they do exist, and these Hollows are usually dealt with by the Shinigami who have noticed them in advance before they can cause any damage in the central area of ​​Rukongai as soon as they arrive.

No, it should be said that any Hollow that descends and makes a slightly loud noise will be detected by the Gotei 13, and then the Shinigami will be sent out to deal with it.

However, the Hueco Mundo is too large, and among the vast number of Hollows, some special Hollows occasionally appear. They are either very powerful or have special abilities that can hide from the monitoring devices of the Gotei 13, and then cause huge damage in Soul Society.

This is also the reason why even with advance warning, the Gotei 13 still suffer casualties from time to time, and even the captain may die in battle.

"puff!"

With one strike, Killian, who had just arrived in Soul Society, was easily killed by Natsuki with one strike before he could reveal his terrifying power as a Hollow to the civilians in the nearby Rukongai.

Bang!
The tall body fell to the ground. In order to speed up the destruction of Killian's body, Xia Mu added another ghost move, burning Killian's body to ashes.

Even if it is left there, it won't take long for its body to dissipate and turn into spirit particles.

But there is no guarantee that during this period, some ordinary soul will come to this area and come into contact with Xu's body.

If the power of the Hollow accidentally infects an ordinary soul, it would not be a good thing.

Even though this possibility was extremely small, Xia Mu still considered it.

Cross Rukongai and return to Seireitei.

I don't know if it was a coincidence, but the area where Natsuki fought against the Hollow this time was not far from the area where he met Kenpachi Zaraki in Rukongai. While walking through it, Natsuki couldn't help but think of the report again.

It seems that these areas are also where the soul disappearance incidents occurred.

On the way back.

Xia Mu was keenly aware of a familiar spiritual pressure.

Even if the spiritual pressure is very weak, almost non-existent, it can absorb spiritual particles to help the owner increase spiritual power in the shallow state. For Xia Mu, who possesses a very special Zanpakuto and has an extremely sharp spiritual perception, this spiritual pressure is still as eye-catching as a bright light in the night.

"Kenpachi Zaraki, does this incident have anything to do with you?"
