Chapter 149 148: A Critical Moment

"Although I feel it is very inappropriate at this time, in fact, no matter how I think about it, it makes people curious."

Grizzly Tessai tugged on the black cloak-like clothes on his body and said in a rather doubtful tone.

"How on earth are you able to hide your spiritual pressure to this extent?"

While on the road, I did not forget to discuss.

Although this curiosity is commendable, saying these words now makes people feel a bit unhappy.

In other words, if you were not really curious enough to offend someone, you would not choose to speak at this time.

And through this curiosity.

Arima Shizuya also pulled on his cloak and clothes at this moment and asked.

"Although I know it's rude to do this, if possible, I would like to ask what happened."

After all, this is an invention that even prison masters praise.

It was even through this thing that he could find opportunities to hurt Shiha Isshin, which would lead to various subsequent incidents.

So if you go deeper and deduce it, this cloak even contributed to the birth of Brother Strawberry.

This thing is really of extraordinary significance...

After briefly sighing, Arima Shizuya's eyes also focused on it.

Translucent material, like a rainproof cape made of plastic.

It feels airtight when worn on the body, and at the same time there is a subtle and somewhat annoying aura.

Although I had similar conjectures before, when I actually encountered the real thing, it was really surprising.

Arima Shizuo was also thinking about it at this moment.

"Although I am overestimating my capabilities, I have actually studied these things before."

"But in the end, we still have no solution... After all, everything that exists in Soul Society is constructed from spirit sons."

"Trying to use these things to weave something that can cover the spiritual pressure is like using salt water to cover tea."

Although the two sides have completely different purposes, they will blend into each other after contact.

This is what Shizuya Arima wants to express at this moment.

Therefore.

"If it's just because the material is so fine, it shouldn't be possible to do this."

Grizzi Tessai who was standing next to him seemed quite surprised by Arima Shizuya's judgment. Now he half-turned his head and was looking up and down at the young man beside him.

"Awesome, very organized insights... Young man, I can't tell you still have talent in this area."

After all, Grizzi Tessai had only known Arima Shizuya for a short time, so his impression of him was only to the extent that he could sit in on the captain's meeting.

——At best, he should be just a deputy captain.

Facing the other party's compliments, Arima Shizuya laughed twice and just said in a calm tone.

"It's just some knowledge that you don't need in daily life. It's not worth mentioning."

Back to business.

What exactly is this cloak that can shield spiritual pressure?

After all, even with Arima Shizuya's current knowledge, he couldn't see through the 'true appearance' of this thing at all.

"..."

Urahara Kisuke was silent for a moment, and then sighed vaguely.

he said helplessly.

"Actually, it's not something important. As Arima-kun said, the point is not the workmanship, but..."

After a moment of pause, Urahara Kisuke said slowly.

"Material."

Material?

Chewing these two short words carefully, Arima Shizuya's pupils expanded and contracted, and he instantly thought of a lot of relevant information.

It was at this moment that a seemingly impossible option came to mind.

ha……

A sigh that was almost self-deprecating came out, but it made Shizuka Arima reveal a subtle expression.

It can't really be that, right?

"I'm using Xu's body here."

The brief silence meant two completely different attitudes.

Cold sweat suddenly broke out on Nie Ling Te Zhai's forehead, and he let out a low groan that was almost confused.

"……Why?"

etc.

Let’s sort out the existing information a little bit.

Grizzi Tessai pushed up his glasses, which were soaked with sweat and slid down slightly.

His tone could be said to be extremely serious.

"Captain Urahara, are you saying...that you mixed the remains of the evil soul named Hollow into this cloak that can shield your spiritual pressure?"

The very strict wording also represents the rather nervous mental state of the other party.

Compared to this nervousness, Urahara Kisuke just nodded quite calmly and said softly.

"Let me correct it a little. More than 90% of the contents of this cloak are made of Xu's body."

"?!!"

Grizzly Tessai's expression clearly twitched.

It is not difficult to see that for the more established residents of Soul Society, the existence of things like Hollows is closely linked to the word 'disgust'.

However, this emotion did not spread to Arima Shizuya.

"I see."

An emotional tone.

The emotion revealed in it is even more subtle and high-spirited at this moment.

"Although I had some conjectures before, I didn't expect Captain Urahara to have completely realized it..."

Virtual.

According to the textbooks formulated by Soul Society, its essence is an evil state of the soul.

Most of them have no intelligence at all, and many of them appear in twisted and weird forms.

The most obvious sign is a huge hole printed in the middle of the chest... Its existence means the lack of soul and also symbolizes its greedy nature.

Nothing can be communicated.

Hollow cannot communicate.

The existence of the void itself needs to be hated by others.

Expelling them, killing them, until they are completely destroyed... This is a necessary condition for maintaining peace, and it is also one of the duties of the God of Death.

Various information related to virtuality kept flashing in his mind, and it was rapidly taking shape at this moment.

This is established knowledge, and it is also the information content that most spirits can obtain today.

This must be the case for Gribi Tessai.

but.

Is that correct?

Arima Shizuya's eyes sparkled with a light called intelligence.

A negative verdict was given at this time.

"The existence of the void itself is difficult to perceive."

"Although this feature is not universal, the vast majority of evil souls have this ability..."

"Captain Urahara must have considered this and tried to use it as material, right?"

The person involved glanced behind him noncommittally, with a subtle smile on his face.

"Arima-kun, you know a lot."

Although I don’t want to talk too much at this time, the feeling of finding a soulmate is really unbearable.

After all, the sweaty Grizzi Tessai at this moment is the majority of Soul Society - it is difficult for people to be interested in things beyond their own understanding.

Based on this premise, the researcher's journey is destined to be a lonely journey.

So, let’s ask by the way.

"Why do you think Xu has this strange ability?"

It's a little more intense, and there's an obvious 'trap feeling' at this time.

Fortunately, Ma Jing is not a problem.

"It's not so much why Xu possesses it, but rather... the difference between souls."

A very simple example.

"Even the weakest Hollow can open the boundary between Soul Society and Hueco Mundo by chance."

"On top of it, Daxu can even actively use anti-membrane to save his fellow humans and return them to Hueco Mundo safely."

"Even in the void, there is a behavior similar to our Shinigami Shunpo technique... Of course, its name is Hibiki."

"Of course, there are essential differences between the two sides. The former is a rapid movement that squeezes the body. In comparison, the latter is more similar to a jump in space."

This is by no means empty talk.

Because in the thousand-year bloody battle in the original work, Brother Strawberry breaks through the prison to rescue the Soul Society. When he appears on the scene, the spiritual pressure is sensed by the vast majority of Quincy.

But after he started to act, he sighed, "The spiritual pressure has disappeared."

This is enough to show that the two techniques that appear to be the same have extremely essential differences.

"From these characteristics, it is not difficult to see that Xu Tian is born with the power to affect space."

This is a feature.

It was also Arima Shizuya who paved the way for the following argument.

"Because of the difference between the void and our spiritual bodies, there is no need to think too much... because they themselves have the ability to cover the breath and distort space."

As for how to use it properly.

At this moment, Urahara Kisuke has already given his answer.

The corners of his mouth were raised silently, and Urahara Kisuke, who had always had a tense expression, finally showed a faint smile at this moment.

Although I was a little curious as to why the other party knew so much, I thought about the other party's internship experience in the Eighth Division and his relationship with Kyōraku Shunsui.

He was relieved.

"It's really touching, Arima-kun... I should have fought for it more."

To be honest, Urahara Kisuke did have thoughts of regret at this moment.

After all, it is such a talent.

If I could study with him in Division 12, I wouldn't have so many troubles now.

Faced with Urahara Kisuke's emotion, Arima Shizuo simply chuckled and put it off.

That's it for now, let's go on our way.

However, such a short content, which seemed like an interlude, also made Shizuya Arima think about it at this moment.

‘No wonder Urahara Kisuke’s research is so much faster than the prison master’s. ’

‘It seems that people have already been ahead of everyone regarding the specific content of Xu. ’

'After all, not only Bengyu, but also these derivatives have been developed and used in daily life...'

With such enthusiasm, no wonder the prison master thinks so highly of Boss Urahara.

It can only be said that there is indeed a clear difference between reality and comics.

It seems to be just a simple reminder in the original work, but when placed in the real world, some clues can be found...

Thereby completely connecting the front and rear endpoints together.

I was filled with emotion, and the scenes in front of me were intertwined, but with the sound of "There is movement ahead" from Gritstone, everything came to an end at this moment.

…

"Ah, I know, I've known it since a long time ago."

Cold sweat mixed with blood slid down from the wound on his shoulder where Hiyori had cut him.

"Guys like you appear to be sanctimonious on the outside, but in fact, deep down they are full of dirty and despicable people."

pain.

Although it hurts, the flow of spiritual power can still be barely maintained.

Adjust your breathing and stand up slowly.

"The reason why I promoted you to vice-captain and put you by my side is to be able to see the true face of you, a villain."

Hirako Mako's body couldn't stop shaking, but his face still maintained a sarcastic look that seemed to be smiling.

"Now, you finally can't hold it back?"

It's really a headache. If this could have happened half a year earlier.

You said so.

"Aizen Sosuke!!!"

Facing the roar and this almost hysterical attitude.

Aizen, wearing a death hat, pursed his lips lightly, revealing a subtle and implicit smile.

"Don't scold so loudly, Captain Hirako. You just saw the wrong side and didn't find all the truth."

"Humans are such sad creatures."

"If it's just pure stupidity, you can still use ignorance to paralyze yourself."

Aizen Sosuke, who was followed by Ichimaru Gin, walked slowly forward at this moment.

As if walking in the morning bushes, he dodged the dew and morning mist lightly, and tilted the sword at his waist.

"But those smart guys are different."

"Relying on half-knowledge, they think they know everything and see through all the falsehoods."

"How sad it is, if no one points it out, it is still a kind of happiness."

But at this moment, it is really regrettable.

"After all, smart people like you, Captain Hirako, are the most easily deceived."

Aizen raised his right hand in front of him, with his index finger raised high and close to his lips.

He made a gesture to silence his voice.

"The betrayal that can be seen by the naked eye can be known, and the real horror is the invisible betrayal."

"If there is an afterlife, I hope you can be born mediocre and no longer be such a half-baked level."

"What do you think, Captain Hirako?"

Anger gushed out, and he couldn't help but vent!

"You...!!!"

The roar that was choked in his throat could not be fully uttered.

The milky white thick substance was swallowed and spit out in an instant, completely covering half of Hirako Mako's face.

"Gu..."

With a faint humming sound, the remaining half of Hirako Mako's face was in a trance for a moment.

It seemed that his body was no longer his own...

He could see the traitor of the 9th Division rushing up, and he wanted to defend himself, but his body seemed to have its own willpower and fought back more fiercely at this moment.

What? It felt like there was another unknown thing that was robbing him of his body.

Don't get in the way, don't mess it up...

Quick, go back...

Looking at Hirako Mako not far away, his expression was already in a trance.

Aizen stretched out his hand and pushed away Tosen Kaname who still wanted to continue to fight forward.

"That's it. I didn't expect this man to be able to hold on to this point... Compared to the other mediocre people lying on the ground, it's really impressive."

"Although the materials for the experiment are also important, since there are so many examples, just missing one or two will not have any impact on the experiment."

Hiss...

Zanpakuto in hand.

The crescent moon is like a hook, reflecting his body.

Aizen Sosuke raised the weapon in his hand and finally showed an emotional expression.

"Finally, leave me one word."

"In fact, I have hated you for a long time, Captain Hirako."

"If you want to describe it in detail...Yes, it was probably after I came back from the academy."

I have to admit it.

You brought a lot of sad things.

But thanks to this, I learned, I grew...and then transformed into a brand new me.

"Thank you very much."

"Then, goodbye forever."

"Captain Hirako."

Huh...

The blade broke through the air and was about to chop Hirako Mako's face vertically.

Aizen Sosuke raised his eyebrows slightly, and made a backward gesture at this moment.

At the same time, a figure came across and chopped directly on the horizontal blade of Aizen.

Bang!

Sparks flew everywhere, and it was sonorous and powerful.

Aizen took two steps back and returned to the front of Ichimaru Gin and Tosen Kaname.

And the unknown visitor took two steps sideways and retreated to the side of Hirako Mako, supporting her so that she would not fall directly to the ground.

"Ah, should I say it... It was really a close call."

While sighing, the visitor took off the hood on his head and smiled brightly at this moment.

Arima Shizuka also said with a smile.

"It seems that I came at the right time?"
