Chapter 727 Udagawa Rei
The setting sun cast long shadows on the streets of Karakura Town, and Ikuko bought some groceries on her way home.
To be honest, she rarely cooks for herself.
But for some reason, she felt that her house would be very lively for a while.
Although I complained about those idiots, I still had to prepare some things.
only……
She never expected this to happen so quickly.
As soon as Yu Zi opened the door on the first floor and entered the hall, she saw that the shelf she had placed in the corner to block the trench had been moved to a corner and was even a little damaged. It was obviously picked up after being violently pushed over and was leaning against the wall.
Yuko, with a dark expression, went up to the second floor and opened the door.
"Wow, you must be tired from work!"
On the living room sofa, Kisuke Urahara happily waved his fan at Ikuko.
That posture made him look like a little kid waiting for his parents to come home... No, he's not that cute.
They even made tea for her as if she were at home, showing they didn't treat her like an outsider at all.
The moment she opened the door, she heard that damned noise, making Yuko really want to throw the guy off the building.
She looked at the crowd sitting on the sofa, and her lips twitched involuntarily.
"I'm just curious, do you guys have a lot of free time all day?"
Why do you always bring your whole family when you come?
Wo Ling Tiezhai pushed up his glasses: "In a way, that's true."
Jin Tai crossed his arms and said, "The shop doesn't have much business to begin with."
Xiaoyu nodded in agreement with the two people in front of her.
In one corner of the sofa, Soi Fon was sitting upright with a serious expression. If you ask why, Yoruichi was curled up in her arms with her tail tucked in.
If you look closely, you'll notice that although the girl's body is stiff, a suspicious blush is constantly appearing on her face.
Yoruichi glanced at Yuuko, yawning and ignoring her.
It's always the same two sentences; they never seem to know how to change things up.
Let's wait until they get down to business.
Yuko gave a deathly smile: "Even so, will you die if you enter through the main gate?"
Kisuke Urahara retorted, "Wasn't the main gate locked?"
Yu Zi replied expressionlessly, "So, is my door to the second floor open?"
"Haha, don't worry about the details~"
Kisuke Urahara chuckled and brushed it off.
Yu Zi sighed, rubbed her temples, and decided she didn't want to bother with them.
"So? What happened this time?"
Kisuke Urahara's expression turned serious: "We learned from Lilyn and the others that you captured a Bount last night... is that right?"
"That's right, but she's already gone."
"You let it go?" Kisuke Urahara paused, his fan still. "You're as gentle as ever."
Shen Tai almost spat out his tea while drinking it.
Who? Who is gentle? Who is gentle?
Yu Zi glanced at him sideways: "? If you can't speak properly, you don't have to say anything."
Soi Fon then spoke up, "Actually, I wanted to know about Bount's situation."
"I want to organize the intelligence first, so that I can send it back to Soul Society at any time."
Yu Zi paused for a moment and explained, "Let me tell you beforehand, I don't know whether what that woman said is true or false."
"But I don't think she lied to me."
Yoruichi shifted her position in Soi Fon's arms and asked curiously, "You tortured her?"
“Yeah, I beat her half to death.” Yuko casually replied, then said to Soi Fon, “She told me that when Bounts consume the souls of living people, they generate a power that can influence space.”
"Their goal is to connect Hueco Mundo and the present world, so that the present world will be attacked by Hueco Mundo."
Soi Fon's pupils contracted, and she exclaimed in surprise, "What?"
I thought it was just a small-scale incident, but I didn't expect those guys to go this far.
"A power that influences space?" Kisuke Urahara rubbed his chin. "That's an interesting statement."
"You think it's fake?"
“No, we haven’t collected any residual spiritual particles from the Bount yet, so I can’t be sure.” Kisuke Urahara shrugged. “I can only be sure that if they succeed, it will be extremely dangerous.”
"Nonsense." Yoruichi rolled her eyes at him and jumped from Soi Fon's arms onto the coffee table. "The spiritual particle density in Hueco Mundo is extremely high. If the two worlds are connected, the present world will suffer unpredictable losses."
“I have a question: can just a few living souls be enough to connect the two worlds?” Yuko asked. “Or is their goal not just to secretly consume the souls of the living, but to create a large-scale crisis?”
By absorbing the souls of living people on a large scale, it can influence the quality of space.
“We can’t rule out that possibility,” Kisuke Urahara said, waving his fan. “But I’m sure it would be very difficult for them to do it.”
It's not just because of their presence, but also because of the Soul Society.
If a large-scale spiritual pressure disorder were to occur, even the most idiotic person in Soul Society would take notice.
Soi Fon frowned slightly and thought for a moment: "I need to report this matter to Kyoraku and Captain Ukitake first."
"At least we should tell them about Bavent first."
Despite the presence of Yuko and Yoruichi, she couldn't believe that the substitute Grim Reaper could handle such an important matter alone, even with his companions.
She came to the human world to investigate the abnormal spirits of the Bount. Although she chose not to report it because of her trust in Yoruichi, she still had to inform them now that things had come to this point.
Yoruichi nodded slightly: "Okay, go ahead."
Soi Fon nodded slightly and disappeared from the room.
"That sounds a bit tricky~" Kisuke Urahara said with a smile, "I wonder if Kurosaki-kun and the others can handle it..."
The word "呢" had barely finished when Yoruichi's tail lashed across his face.
Yoruichi interrupted Kisuke Urahara with her actions, pressing Ikuko for an answer: "What is their purpose in connecting Hueco Mundo and the Human World?"
"I don't know, maybe it's related to the discrimination their clan suffered."
Yuko shook her head and told everyone what Yoshino had told her about the Bwant family the night before.
……
"...Unbelievable, the Bount family are espers who appeared out of nowhere?" Yoruichi looked at Kisuke Urahara with a question in her mind.
Kisuke Urahara quickly waved his hand: "Don't look at me, I don't know either."
Yoruichi sneered, "Heh, I'll find out from Soul Society sooner or later."
This guy not only kept it from Yuko, but he even fooled her.
Tessai Goryu pondered for a moment: "Is it because he was ostracized by humans, Hollows, and Shinigami that he did this?"
"What a pathetic race."
After he brought it up, Yuko asked curiously, "Now that you mention it, I'm suddenly curious. Since there are Shinigami involved, why not connect Soul Society, Hueco Mundo, and the human world together?"
When Kisuke Urahara heard the first part of the sentence, he was initially startled, thinking that Ikuko knew the truth. After hearing the second part, he almost collapsed.
"You're the devil."
"Why?" Yuko asked matter-of-factly. "We can't treat them differently, can we?"
"...In some ways, you really are a master of balancing things."
Yu Zi turned to look at the setting sun and said coldly, "Whether you're a master or not is another matter. It's already very late, you should all get out of here."
"Wow, so many fresh ingredients, if only..."
Urahara Kisuke was up to his old tricks when, in a flash, a white blade was pressed against his face.
Before anyone could react, the next moment had passed.
"Get lost."
Kisuke Urahara had already appeared outside the door, but half of his body shrank back inside, and once the door closed, he disappeared from the scene.
"...How embarrassing."
Shen Tai covered his face and jumped off the sofa.
The group said goodbye to Yuko.
……
Night falls in Karakura-cho, at a construction site in the old town.
A construction worker, having finished his overtime shift, was walking home on the shortest route, carrying his hard hat. His mind was filled with thoughts of the steaming noodles at the roadside stall, completely unaware that death was close at hand.
"What an ordinary yet fulfilling soul..."
From the shadows, a man in a well-tailored suit slowly emerged.
He held a gold pocket watch elegantly in his hand, his movements slow and deliberate, like a gentleman.
Ryo Udagawa has an air of nobility.
"Though it is just a cheap ingredient, please sacrifice your life for the greater cause."
“Come out, Fleet.” The pocket watch in his hand revealed the coat of arms of the Bavent, which transformed into a black-striped yellow python that coiled around his neck.
As the python flicked its tongue, the steel bars placed against the wall transformed into long, thin black snakes, swarming out of the shadows.
Before the worker realized the danger approaching, he suddenly heard a rustling sound behind him and instinctively turned around.
"what!"
He was completely surrounded by a dense swarm of snakes.
"What, what's going on?"
Before the worker could react, several black snakes rushed up, slithered past his feet, and tripped him to the ground.
"Help, help!"
The black snake opened its blood-red maw, about to bite.
"Get!"
With a sharp shout, a fiery meteor streaked across the night sky and struck the ground in front of the snake swarm precisely, instantly turning dozens of black snakes into charred remains.
"Yoshino?"
Udagawa Ryo cast a glance at him, his brows furrowing slightly.
Yoshino stood on high ground, wearing a simple leather coat. Behind her, a fire doll named Gate was radiating intense flames.
“That won’t do, Yoshino,” Udagawa said calmly. “Going out without permission…”
"what!"
The workers then realized what was happening, saw this, and screamed and fled in panic.
Utagawa's expression darkened. "It's also affecting my foraging."
The black-striped python in his arms poked its head out, making a childlike sound and flicking its tongue.
"traitor."
Yoshino gritted her teeth: "Kariya has gone mad. What you are doing now is destroying the bottom line of us as humans."
“Humans?” Utagawa tilted his head. “Are you out of your mind? We Bounts aren’t such a fragile race.”
Yoshino wanted to argue further, but Udagawa had already lost interest.
"That's enough. Since you don't want to go back, I'll take you back by force."
"Getter!" Yoshino sensed the danger and shouted immediately.
"Felte!"
But Udagawa seemed to be faster. Without any visible movement from him, the bracelet on Yoshino's hand transformed into the shape of a black snake, instantly binding Yoshino.
"Well……"
The black snake began to tighten, and Yoshino felt a suffocating pain.
"Yoshino!"
Upon seeing this, Gates charged straight down from the air, ignoring the steel pipes on either side.
With its master restrained, the doll's full power seems unable to be unleashed. Or perhaps Yoshino's combat strength is simply not that great to begin with.
With almost no effort, the black snake that the steel pipe had transformed into coiled around Gates and tightened its grip...
dissipate.
Yoshino was completely unable to move. Just when she thought she was about to be taken away by Udagawa, another sharp shout came from above.
Udagawa instinctively stepped back to dodge.
The next moment, a figure dressed in a Shinigami uniform slashed down from where he had just been standing.
If we fall for this move, a feast might be in the works.
Udagawa frowned: "Tsk, the Grim Reaper?"
Ichigo ignored him, intending only to force him back, and freed Yoshino from the black snake's grasp with a few slashes.
Before Yoshino could land, Ichigo turned around and confronted Udagawa.
Without turning his head, he asked, "Are you alright?"
"Hmm." Fangye coughed twice, looked up at him with some surprise, and responded softly.
She subconsciously looked around, seemingly trying to find another figure.
Udagawa raised his hand, and the steel pipes scattered on the ground transformed into the shape of black snakes, flying towards Ichigo.
The Zangetsu in Ichigo's hand hummed as its blade collided with the black snakes, sparks flying like metal.
“Not bad, Grim Reaper.” Utagawa smoothed out the wrinkles on his suit sleeve. “But against my Fleet, you can only be defeated.”
"Taste this."
The snake named Flett had a faint red glow in its eyes, and the bamboo sticks placed against the wall transformed into black-striped yellow snakes that rushed towards Ichigo.
"what is that?"
Ichigo quickly dodged, and the yellow snake crashed into the wall, actually creating a hole.
Udagawa explained his ability: "My ability is to turn anything that resembles a snake into a snake."
Although I don't know why the other person is so straightforward, but...
Ichigo glanced around.
There are quite a few long and narrow things in this place!
“Felte, strangle him.” Utagawa’s eyes were cold and devoid of pity.
As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of exposed steel bars shot up from the pile of cement as if they were alive, transforming into black snakes that attacked Ichigo.
Ping ping ping pong.
Sparks flew up in the darkness.
Ichigo raised his sword to parry, but due to a lack of information and the sudden attack, he was completely unable to block all the attacks. Soon, he was covered in blood, and his Shinigami uniform was torn in several places, with blood soaking the fabric.
Seeing this, Yoshino struggled to get up: "Stop, Udagawa, your target is me."
“You have lost your right to be a fellow countryman, Yoshino.” Udagawa sneered. “If it weren’t for Kariya sparing your life, I would have ended you long ago.”
