Chapter 21 The mastermind, Kenpachi Zaraki! (Edited)

More than half a year has passed since Kenpachi Zaraki took office as captain of the 11th Division.

However, even so, in the minds of all the members of the 11th Division, Kenpachi is still an extremely mysterious person.

The relationship between many team members and him did not become close.

Normally, we rarely even see each other.

As the third seat, Xia Mu often goes to the captain's room to assist the deputy captain Wuzu, and this is the case, not to mention the rest of the team members.

Thinking of the report and combining it with the spiritual pressure he sensed this time, Xia Mu immediately had some guesses in his mind.

So, two choices were placed before him.

The first option is to ignore it.

The second option is to find out.

However, after a little thought, Xia Mu chose to ignore it.

After all, that was the extent of his interactions with Kenpachi Zaraki.

There is no deep connection between me and this world.

Watanabe Yuji, the only one who had some relationship with the army, also returned to the expeditionary force.

Meddling in other people's affairs doesn't seem to be a good thing.

Earlier, out of curiosity, he discovered the whereabouts of Kenpachi Zaraki. Now thinking about it, it seems a bit reckless.

Even though we discovered traces of Kenpachi Zaraki's spiritual pressure again, there was no need to pay any attention to it.

Just pretend you never discovered this.

That’s what Xia Mu thought.

However, he didn't know that when he discovered Kenpachi Zaraki's spiritual pressure, the other party had actually discovered him.

……

In a residential area on Rukongai.

The soul living in it screamed in pain, and as it screamed, white substance continued to pour out of his body. In just a short moment, his body underwent a drastic change. Compared with before, it expanded a lot, and the whole person looked more like a monster than the previous human form.

"Failed?"

A figure wearing the captain's haori whispered.

After he said this, a sharp female voice kept mocking him in his ear: "Ah, is this our Kenpachi? How funny! You haven't succeeded once in such a long time. Even so, you still swear that you can transform these souls of Rukongai into weapons?"

"I advise you to give up as soon as possible."

"If you give up now, you are still the captain of the 11th Division, a well-deserved big shot!"

"Hahahaha!"

First there were some sarcastic remarks, and then, he burst into laughter.

If it were a person with a slightly worse temper, he would definitely not be able to stand such sarcasm, but Kenpachi Zaraki endured it. He looked calm and did not show any sign of anger.

Because he has been with the woman for a long time, and the woman has been by his side since his Zanpakuto began to awaken.

At that time, all his family members died.

It can be said that it was the presence of the woman that made him feel the last bit of warmth and made him no longer feel lonely.

So, he can tolerate women's bad breath.

Looking at the soul in front of him that was constantly changing and was about to evolve into a hollow, Kenpachi Zaraki raised his hand, and a Zanpakuto made of spirit particles appeared in his hand. With a slash, the other party's painful voice stopped abruptly, and finally turned into spirit particles and completely dissipated.

Leave this house.

The man was preparing to look for other souls to continue his experiment.

This is Rukongai. There is nothing else here, but there are plenty of souls.

At this moment, the man's brows frowned slightly.

Behind him, the woman's voice sounded again, "Ah, it seems to be the boy from before."

"It seems to be the third seat of your squad." "He seems to be nearby. Has he discovered what you have done?"

The man didn't say anything. His face was expressionless and no one knew what he was thinking.

In Rukongai, after Natsuki sensed the spiritual pressure of Kenpachi Zaraki, he prepared to leave and pretend that he had not noticed these things. Anyway, even if Kenpachi Zaraki did something excessive, the Gotei 13 would handle it.

This has nothing to do with him.

He just needs to keep to himself.

However, at this moment, a cold voice came into his ears, "Xia Mu San Xi, are you looking for me?"

When Xia Mu heard the voice, his pupils shrank slightly, and then he looked over there suddenly.

"Captain Mole City!"

Xia Mu called out to the other party.

After addressing him, Xia Mu pretended not to know and asked, "Captain Zaraki, why are you here?"

Zaraki Kenpachi said coldly: "I am doing an experiment here."

"Is that so? Then Captain Zaraki, just continue with your work and don't worry about me." After hearing this, Xia Mu was about to leave.

However, Kenpachi Zaraki had no intention of letting him go easily.

"Don't you want to know what experiment I'm doing?" he asked Xia Mu.

Xia Mu said: "What the captain does must have a purpose. I am just an officer and I can't control too much."

"Is it that you can't care too much, or have you discovered some clues but don't want to get into trouble and don't want to care?" Kenpachi Zaraki looked at Natsuki sharply.

"Why do you say that, Captain Zaraki?" Xia Mu asked.

Kenpachi Zaraki explained, "You clearly sensed my spiritual pressure earlier, but you deliberately stopped approaching this side, and you hesitated for a moment. This shows that you may have guessed something, but you don't want to care about it."

These words shocked Xia Mu.

He did sense Kenpachi Zaraki's spiritual pressure.

Of course, it wasn't this that shocked him.

Instead, Kenpachi Zaraki seemed to be standing right next to them and knew everything.

How did the other party know?
Yes, I felt something was a little strange when I first joined the squad.

Even though Kenpachi Zaraki was not at the scene most of the time, he always knew the whole story and many details.

Kenpachi Zaraki continued to say to Natsuki: "You are a very smart person."

"I asked you some questions before, but I didn't get any clear answers from you."

"But it doesn't matter. Since you have seen through some of the things I did in Rukongai, whether you want to care about these things or not, when you know these things, you can no longer escape."

Kenpachi Zaraki spoke to Natsuki in a cold tone.

Xia Mu took a deep breath.

I knew I couldn't escape today.

So, why should one's spiritual perception be so sensitive?

Why are we coming to Rukongai to carry out the mission today?
Faced with Kenpachi Zaraki's aggressive pressure, he could only admit frankly that he had some guesses.

He continued, "Recently, there have been many cases of souls disappearing in Rukongai. Is Captain Zaraki aware of these things?"

His original intention was just to test the waters and give Kenpachi Zaraki a way out.

But I didn't expect the other party's answer to be so unexpected.

“I did these things.”

Kenpachi Zaraki admitted it frankly.

Xia Mu was stunned again. After a long while, he asked Zaraki Kenpachi in a complicated tone: "Why?"

"As the captain of the 11th Division, you bear the name of Kenpachi, and judging by your attire, you are of noble birth. I don't understand what the meaning of you doing these things is."
