In the present world, the void suddenly cracked and a passage emerged.

Natsuki, Urahara Kisuke, and Yoruichi walked out.

After the Hell's Gate incident, Soul Society realized the seriousness of the matter.

An investigation team was organized immediately.

In a normal investigation team, the personnel configuration is extremely strict, and the division of responsibilities among combatants, investigators, technicians, etc. is extremely complicated.

But this time it's different.

When Natsuki showed up and brought in Urahara Kisuke, all problems were solved.

The two of them are enough to solve all the troubles.

They can do everything.

The Soul Society did not think there was anything wrong with Natsuki stepping forward. Instead, they felt that Captain Natsuki was a very responsible captain.

The matter of hell might involve Aizen. Even if it is just a guess, it is an extremely dangerous thing.

When fighting against Aizen, Captain Natsuki was the main force.

It's great that he's in charge.

As for Urahara Kisuke, he is the director of the Technology Development Bureau. In addition to his outstanding strength, he is also proficient in various technologies. If he goes to the human world together, perhaps they can find out why the gate to hell was opened.

Logically speaking, there should be only two people who actually came into the world.

But besides these two, there is another Yoruichi.

This means that Ye Yi has nothing to do after retirement.

Because she had relatively little free time, she had become a street stalker in Soul Society during this period, either drinking everywhere. When she found out that Natsuki and Urahara Kisuke, two people she was familiar with, were heading to the human world to carry out a mission, she naturally took the initiative to follow them since she had nothing to do.

"Come to think of it, this Karakura town is really full of disasters."

After arriving in the real world, Ye Yi looked at the city below and couldn't help but sigh.

That’s right, the place where the Gate of Hell appeared this time was Karakura Town again.

Considering the many things that have happened in this city, one cannot help but sigh at the miserable lives of people living in this city.

After the previous battle with Aizen, the entire Karakura Town was completely destroyed. Although it was rebuilt with the help of the Soul Society's technology, many humans still died. The remaining humans had their memories modified. It was thought that they would be able to enjoy a happy future after surviving the disaster, but unexpectedly, the peaceful days did not last long before Karakura Town suffered another disaster.

"After all, this is a spiritual land. It is not an ordinary place."

Natsuki glanced at Yoruichi and explained.

Is he saying that Karakura Town is plagued by so many disasters because the protagonist Ichigo Kurosaki is in the town?

If Ichigo Kurosaki moved to another place to live, disaster might occur in that place.

Kisuke Urahara did not join the conversation between Natsuki and Yoruichi. After coming to the real world, he held a special instrument and monitored the real world.

"over there!"

He pointed out the direction, and the three of them moved quickly, moving towards that direction.

"The gate to hell opens here."

After arriving at a place, Urahara Kisuke said with great certainty.

Xia Mu didn't say anything, but sensed it carefully, "There is indeed a trace of hell power left."

Urahara Kisuke frowned.

At this moment, several familiar figures quickly rushed over.

Ichigo Kurosaki, Akane Shizuku, Orihime Inoue, Yasutora Chadari, and... Uryu Ishida.

I haven’t come into contact with the first few for a long time, so I won’t talk about them for now.

Ishida Uryu's words were all too familiar to Natsuki and Urahara Kisuke.

"you?"

After rushing here, Ichigo and the others looked up at the three people floating in the air, somewhat surprised.

……

"So, what's going on?"

Natsuki asked Ichigo, his cheap apprentice.

Apart from teaching Ichigo Bankai in Soul Society, he didn't actually teach Ichigo much. However, he still recognized Ichigo as his cheap apprentice.

"My sister is missing..."

Ichigo, with a somewhat anxious look on his face, told Natsuki what had happened.

After regaining the power of the God of Death, Ichigo once again became the guardian of Karakura Town.

Today, another Hollow appeared in Karakura Town, so he led the team to deal with it.

On the way, he naturally sensed the breath of the Gate of Hell.

But because the distance was too far, and the Hell's Gate only appeared for a moment, by the time Ichigo and the others wanted to investigate the Hell's Gate, it had already disappeared.

I thought it was just a trivial matter.

But then, Ichigo suddenly discovered that his two sisters were missing.

This is not all. His two younger sisters disappeared in the place where the Gate of Hell appeared. Today is the weekend, and they made an appointment to come here to shop and play. They didn't expect that the Gate of Hell appeared here. In addition to them, many people also disappeared.

This is why Ichigo and the others rushed here in a hurry.

"Ichigo!"

Xia Mu's tone suddenly became serious.

"teacher?"

Ichigo looked up, looking at Natsuki in confusion.

"One good news and one bad news." Xia Mu said concisely.

"The good news is that I think I know why your sister is missing."

"What's the reason?" Ichigo asked quickly.

"This is also the bad news I want to tell you." Xia Mu looked at Ichigo and told him the bad news, "Your sister is likely to have fallen into hell."

"Hell? That's not..." Ichigo's face changed drastically when he heard what Natsuki said.

He had some knowledge about hell. When he had just met Rukia and obtained Rukia's power of the god of death and helped Rukia fight against the hollows that appeared in the world, he had seen the gate of hell and learned some things about hell from Rukia.

Hell is a place even more mysterious than Soul Society.

Only true sinners can trigger the laws of hell, causing the gates of hell to open and pull them into hell.

After defeating Aizen, his final fate was to be exiled to hell by the Hell Gate summoned by his teacher.

Ichigo didn't expect to hear about hell again from Natsuki.

"Yes, Aizen was banished to hell. We speculate that this incident may be related to Aizen. This is also the reason why we came to the human world."

After Ichigo knew the whole story, the anxiety on his face became even more intense.

"Youzi, Xiali..."

"I know you're anxious, but please don't be anxious. Now that Kisuke, Yoruichi and I are here, we will definitely resolve this incident properly." Natsuki comforted Ichigo.

Ichigo's emotions finally stabilized.

Originally, Natsuki, Urahara Kisuke, and Yoruichi were the only ones here, but now that Ichigo and the others had joined them, it seemed like it was time for a little chat.

Everyone found a rooftop of a building and started chatting in the open space.

"Hell is a very special place. There are no spirit particles there. The laws of hell are everywhere. When the beings in the spirit particle world fall into it, the spirit particles that make up the soul will quickly be infected by the laws of hell. The power of hell replaces the original traces of existence. This is also the transformation between life and death, from the living to the dead. "

"However, even for the dead, it is not easy to survive in that world."

"The power of hell is the source of their life force in that world. Under normal circumstances, they cannot absorb the power of hell in the void by absorbing spirit particles in the air like they do in the spirit particle world."

"It can be said that apart from the time they fall into hell and come into contact with the laws of hell for the first time and are baptized by the laws of hell, when they can obtain powerful hell power, it is difficult for them to obtain this power through conventional means afterwards."

"When the power of hell in the body is completely worn out over time, the dead will completely turn into dust."

"If you want to gain the power of hell in hell, there are two ways."

"The first is to obey the laws of hell and become a jailer. You need to catch the criminals wandering around in hell and send them to the gates of hell for trial. Then you can get rewards from the gates of hell. In addition, by becoming a jailer, you can also get some preferential treatment from hell and gain some special abilities."

Xia Mu spoke eloquently, revealing a deep understanding of hell.

Urahara Kisuke and Yoruichi were all listening to Natsuki's story carefully. Even these captain-level Shinigami didn't know much about Hell, let alone Ichigo and the others.

This was the first time they had heard about these conditions in hell.

For the gods of death, although they also carry out team burials and use special rituals to extradite the souls of those powerful gods of death who died in battle to hell, they are not very clear about the situation in hell.

"Secondly, if you don't want to be bound by the laws of hell and want freedom, that's fine too. But there's only one way for such a being to obtain the power of hell, and that's plunder. You can obtain the power of hell by devouring the rest of the dead and attacking the jailers."

"Criminals and jailers fighting each other, this is the original pattern of hell!"

"You mean originally?" Ye Yi keenly grasped the key words in Xia Mu's words.

"Yes, the original hell should be like this. The dead fight and struggle with each other for eternity. But I don't know when it started. After the five old guys fell into hell, the structure of hell changed."

Xia Mu glanced at Ye Yi, a complex look flashed in his eyes. After thinking for a while, he still said it truthfully, "The ancestor of the five nobles!"

"!!!"

Ye Yi's expression suddenly changed, and he was extremely shocked.

As for Ichigo, after his father showed up, and because Shiba Kaien often chatted with him, he also learned some things about the past when he regained the power of the God of Death. For example, his father was actually from the Shiba family. If he were placed in the Soul Society, he would actually be considered a great noble.

But who told him to live in the real world? So, he didn't know much about the five great nobles and had no intention of trying to understand them.

But it is not the case at night.

Not long ago, she was the head of the Shifengyuan family. Because of her noble status, she was very familiar with the history of the great nobles.

The five great nobles have a very long tradition. Thousands of years ago, there were still records of their great noble ancestors in this world. However, suddenly at a certain period of time, the ancestors of the five great nobles all disappeared. It was also after that that new heads of the families took the throne, and the great nobles have been passed down from generation to generation to this day.

This is also the reason why the five great nobles have existed for millions of years, but have only been passed down for more than twenty generations so far.

"Have we actually entered hell?"

After understanding the reason, Ye Yi sighed.

Then, she thought of another thing.

It didn't seem to be a secret that several ancestors of the nobles had fallen into hell. I should have guessed it long ago.

When Tsunayashiro Tokisei opened the gate of hell, the guy who occupied his body revealed some information.

That was undoubtedly the ancestor of Tsunayashiro.

The ancestor Tsunamiyo is in hell, so there is no reason why the other ancestors are not in hell.

However, even though he knew these things, Ye Yi had no interest in bringing his ancestor back.

After all, the era of the nobility has come to an end. This era is still quite good. There is no need to bring those ancestors out of hell. Ye Yi has no idea about restoring the glory of the great nobility.

Moreover, judging from what the ancestor Tsunamiyo did when he wanted to escape from hell, it must not be an easy task to get out of there.

After giving Ye Yi some time to think, Xia Mu continued: "After the five noble ancestors entered hell, they occupied the lowest level of hell, Avici Hell, and established their own order in it. Although they did not actively interfere with the other hells, with their strength, they can roam freely in hell as long as they want."

"Over the years, they have thought about escaping from hell, but once they enter hell, they have no control over their bodies. When their entire bodies are saturated with the breath of death, it is not easy to get out of there and return to the world of the living."

"There's only one way to do something like this."

"What method?" This time it was not Yoruichi who asked, but Urahara Kisuke.

The existence of the world of the dead can actually return to the world of the living. This is something that concerns Kisuke Urahara and is a topic that is worth studying.

"Seek equal strength to wash away the power of hell in your body. Just as when a soul falls into hell, it will be tainted by the power of hell. As long as you can wash away the power of hell, you can break free from the shackles of hell and return to the spirit world."

This explanation immediately reminded Ye Yi of what the ancestor Tsunamiyo had done.

"That guy opened the gate of hell in Seireitei. Was this his purpose?"

After hearing what Yoruichi said, Urahara Kisuke also thought of what happened at the beginning.

Xia Mu continued, "The five noble ancestors have been in hell for many years. Except for the original ancestor Tsunamiyo who did some things, the rest of them didn't do much. It's not that they don't want to leave hell, but under normal circumstances, they can't interfere with the world of spirits."

"And now, if the opening of the gate of hell has nothing to do with them, then it can only be the change brought about by Aizen's entry into hell." (End of this chapter)
