Chapter 205 204: Flash

"Ah sneeze!"

I couldn't help but sneeze.

Although the body does not feel any discomfort in any sense, at this time, worrying too much can be regarded as 'self-comfort' in another sense.

After all, that's what acting alone is all about.

You have to be very careful about everything.

So...if I had known better, I would have brought some trustworthy people here.

Shiba Isshin couldn't help but rub his hands, showing a rather helpless expression.

In the final analysis, it is true that he did not arrange it well, but just thinking about it and doing it is indeed what Master Zhibo can do now.

Ahaha, that’s what you brought upon yourself.

As his thoughts floated, the scene in the distance emerged. Seeing the familiar figure, Shiba raised his right hand happily and shouted.

"Yo! Good job!"

The team member wearing the Death Tyrant uniform stepped forward quickly and said excitedly.

"Captain, you...are you really here?!"

The other party was stationed in the real world by the 10th Division, and was also a member assigned by Shiba Isshin himself. Naturally, the two sides were familiar with each other.

"After all, I'm worried about you, so if I don't come over and take a look in person, I'll be a little uneasy."

Raising his hand to pat the back of his head, Shiba Isshin had a helpless smile on his face.

"Ha...but now it seems that there is no need for this?"

After all, Shiba Isshin was sending condolences according to the patrol map of the garrison.

Not to mention it was uneventful all the way down, at least it was at the level of "no war today".

If it weren't for the multi-party battle reports sent by Toshiro, Isshin Shiba would have even suspected that someone was deliberately hiding something.

"So, basically nothing happened to you?"

The team member who was questioned had a confused look on his face, apparently completely out of the situation.

——As long as individuals have not been attacked, they are basically unaware of the current situation.

This made Isshin Shiba smile heartily, but at the same time, he had some uneasy thoughts in his heart.

After all, being able to achieve this level usually can only explain one situation.

‘The strength gap between the two sides has been exaggerated to an extent that is difficult to make up for. ’

It must be very easy for an elephant to crush an ant to death, but the most terrifying thing is...the ant is almost unable to realize what it is dying of before it dies.

It's hard to imagine who exactly attacked him.

After all, being able to display that level of combat power in this world...just thinking about it makes people feel a little numb.

At least Shiba thought he couldn't do it.

‘Spiritual power in this world is too thin. If it were the God of Death, he would definitely be concerned about this. ’

‘Then…could he be someone related to the virtualization incident decades ago? ’

‘If it’s virtual, there are no restrictions or rules in this area at all…’

While his thoughts were ups and downs, Shiba Isshin caught a glimpse of the embarrassed team member from the corner of his eye, and immediately decided not to delve deeper for the time being.

Putting unnecessary pressure on your subordinates is obviously a sign of immaturity as a leader.

No, no, no... Shiba Isshin, you are the majestic captain of the 10th Division!

"Well, anyway, I'm going to go outside and walk around twice to make sure what the current situation is... If you have any questions, remember to contact me through Ghost Road."

"Ah... speaking of this! Captain, actually we can try calling."

"Huh? What is that?"

Since we are living in this world, we naturally need to adapt to electronic devices.

The team member took out the mobile phone from his waist and performed a simple demonstration process.

"It's a communication tool used by people in this world... Captain, this thing is very useful, but unfortunately, it seems difficult to form radio waves in Soul Society, so there is no intention to develop it yet."

After all, it can be regarded as a scientific product in a certain sense. According to the normal timeline, when this thing appears in Soul Society...

Basically, it all happened after the Thousand Years of Blood War.

Although he was born into a noble family, he was not a pedantic person, so Isshin Shiba seemed quite interested.

After playing with it for a while under the guidance of his own team members, he indeed showed a very interested expression.

"This is good. Get one for me."

Convenient and practical.

It would be great if it could be used in Soul Society - who would rely on ghosts to communicate with them then?

"That...maybe a little inconvenient..."

"Hey? Why?"

"Identity proof is required, otherwise it is a credit card. Otherwise, you cannot pay regularly and the number cannot be dialed..."

"...???"

Shiba Isshin showed a stupid and clear expression.

Considering that to explain some of these contents, you need to start from the beginning. The team members could only bite the bullet and use their own language to summarize and explain.

Although some of them appear to be "fragmented", as Shiba is the captain, his ability to understand is naturally unusual.

He quickly understood the core contradiction.

"Do you need something from this world? It's a little troublesome...and you won't need it in Soul Society for the time being, right?"

Then forget it for now!

Handing the phone back with a playful smile, Zhibo turned around without looking back.

"After the guys from the Technology Development Bureau break through some technical barriers, I will try these new things~"

It is not difficult to see that this guy is obviously the type who has no patience.

Otherwise, he would not have made such a "lazy" speech at this moment...

Since he has no interest, he will not stay for too long. Zhiba Isshin strode away, saying in a cheerful tone.

"I still need to see how others are doing, so I won't stay here for too long... See you later, remember to contact me in time if you have any questions!"

He came with momentum and left quickly.

Zhiba Isshin's back quickly disappeared from the field of vision, and the team member finally breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter how approachable he is, the captain is still the captain, and there is always a sense of oppression in this regard.

At this moment, he couldn't help but feel confused.

What, what's going on? The captain, who is usually lazy and sloppy, suddenly came to the world to inspect.

Did someone make a big mess?

The answer is unknown, and at this moment, he can only look at the direction where the other party left and sigh lightly.

And speaking of which...

The soldier stretched out his right hand in front of him and caught the sparse things falling from the sky.

It was cold and wet.

It was raining.

...

After completing a full circle of inspections.

Staying in the air, Isshin Shiba folded his arms across his chest with a thoughtful expression.

It was literally a fruitless harvest.

Faced with such a result, the captain of the 10th Division began to doubt his decision.

Could it be that I was simply thinking too much?

In fact, nothing too extreme happened... The thoughts were not able to settle, but in the blink of an eye, Isshin Shiba was already enveloped by a great sense of crisis.

Danger!

The body's reaction was faster than the brain's thinking speed. In the moment when the thought came to mind, Isshin Shiba had already moved half a step to the left.

It was just such a subtle gap.

A dark, dark beam of light flashing with a gloomy glow had already brushed past the side of his face!

Boom! ! !

As if he was only aware of the wind after a while, with the buzzing sound coming from behind him, Shiba stood still in shock.

A stinging sensation came from his cheek, and he could feel liquid sliding down his side face.

The smell of blood came later but first.

The air was filled with the smell of burning gunpowder, and a few faint black electric flashes flashed, as if they had pierced the air, entangled and swirled in the air.

This is...

Although he is not very familiar with it, he is a Shinigami who has received formal education after all.

‘A ray-shaped attack after compressing the spiritual pressure at a high concentration. ’

It is highly similar to the use of Kidō, but it is quite different in terms of performance.

It only emphasizes the characteristics of attack and speed, and abandons other redundant functions - it is a revelation of wildness and instinct.

Subconsciously raised his hand and gently wiped his cheek.

I can feel the stinging pain on the side of my face, and the dark and incomparable spiritual pressure...

Squinting his eyes, Shiba Isshin turned towards the direction of the 'attacker' with a serious expression.

What came into view was an extremely unfamiliar figure.

The milky white, snake-like winding appearance highlighted an unusual sense of weirdness...

The other party floated in the air, as if stepping on invisible wind and waves, constantly making rolling and circling movements.

The erratic long whiskers fluttered, and the slender front and back claws repeated the postures of stretching and grasping in the air, rising and falling like breathing.

This should be...

Hollow, right?

The tone was uncertain.

After all, this kind of monster was the first time that Shiba Isshin saw it with his own eyes.

However, this doubt was soon completely dispelled, because in the next moment, the long mouth stretched like a beast.

Drops of pitch-black light emerged from the air, and were grasped by an invisible force, and mixed into a ball with the most forced posture, gathering into a black and red light ball that was enough to make people look sideways.

Chichi, Chichi...

The sound that seemed to be there and not there appeared, and Shiba Isshin's face almost instantly became much uglier.

The exact same feeling of spiritual pressure, this turbid and full of strong hostility.

That's right, this is a hollow.

Just through this brief contact, Shiba Isshin has completely determined the identity of the other party.

"It's you!"

Under the powerful roar, the captain of the 10th Division drew his sword and took action - while frowning, the anger visible to the naked eye was floating on his face.

"You hurt my team members, and you are making trouble in the world!!!"

There was no answer, but it didn't matter.

After all, there was no need for extra communication at this time.

The duty of the god of death is to eliminate evil souls, and the so-called hostile relationship is like this.

- Use your blood to commemorate the dead.

The enemy is already in front of him. Through the brief contact just now, Shiba Isshin can be more sure that this is definitely not an opponent that he can easily deal with.

There was no right to hold back at this time, so he had to go all out.

He lowered his body and looked serious.

The loose haori was driven by the surging spiritual pressure, and the pressure rolled up from the bottom to the sky, forming a wave visible to the naked eye at this moment.

Rain.

It was pushed away by the spiritual pressure.

Even with Shiba Isshin as the center, the surrounding space seemed to be grabbed in an instant and twisted and began to bend.

There was naturally a reason for such a terrifying momentum.

Because as a captain-level figure, he cannot burst out with all his strength in the real world without permission - the most fragile real world is that it cannot withstand heavy spiritual things.

But...

This is the time to use the "emergency power".

The accountability will also be later, and what needs to be paid attention to now is to do his best to destroy the hollow in front of him!

In this forced, opened up "vacuum zone", Shiba Isshin is ready to show all his strength.

"卍·solution..."

The sonorous and powerful words have not even been fully formed.

Puff!

The stinging feeling that came later and a bright blood flower.

It just bloomed from Shiba Isshin's back.

"?!!"

In the midst of surprise, the continuous release of spiritual pressure was abruptly stopped.

Shiba Isshin subconsciously wanted to turn halfway around, but the hollow flash had already been swallowed and spit out, forcing in front of him.

Unable to avoid.

"Burn, Yanyue!"

A blazing ball of light emerged from the Zanpakutō, and it rolled back and blew up the fire that was blowing towards the sky, and collided with the hollow that attacked in front of him.

The collision of energy instantly stirred the whole sky.

Boom! ! !

Compared with the light and heat that was exaggerated several times more than before, Shiba Isshin's figure fled from the smoke in a panic.

His expression was twisted with pain, and there were traces of fear and sorrow.

'The one who attacked me just now... There is no mistake, this mark is a knife wound. '

'The hollow will not use such a thing. If you think so, there must be someone behind the scenes. '

'But there is no breath to feel at all... Did he hide his spiritual pressure directly after the attack? Why can he do this? '

'... Sure enough, I was too careless. This situation is much more dangerous than I imagined. '

His thoughts fluctuated and condensed, and Shiba Isshin's expression became more and more serious.

The enemy is in the dark, but we are in the light.

He has no idea when the other party will continue to attack.

And what is more troublesome for him is another problem.

"Really, should we say that we are lucky, or is Captain Shiba simply unlucky?"

Wearing a special suit to cover his spiritual pressure, Aizen smiled and looked at the back of the person swinging a knife in front of him, shaking off the blood.

"Just happened to come with this kind of person..."

"Once injured, he can't go all out."

"What do you think, Shizuya-kun?"

Arima Shizuya, who personally opened a big hole on Shiba Isshin's back, only pondered for a moment.

Then he smiled and said.

"Who knows, Aizen-sensei... All I can do now is to wait and see."

He couldn't show any signs of holding back in front of the prison master, otherwise it would arouse unnecessary suspicion from the other party.

At this moment, Arima Shizuya could be said to have no other choice.

Yasha clone, go all out.

In the distance, Shiba Isshin, who was dodging in a panic, had just enough time to stand firm.

But before he could make any move, a long, confusing white shadow had already broken through the air.

The hidden spiritual power completely erupted, and while the air was shaking, the rain began to roll and evaporate like boiling water!

Black and red light balls of varying sizes appeared beside him, flashing black and red electric light, as if just "witnessing" it would make people feel a burning heat.

As if the air was pierced through, the dark and deep virtual flash appeared again.

The number reached double digits.

"What...?!"

So many virtual flashes in one breath? !

Shiba Isshin's shocked expression froze on his face. It was only at this moment that he realized the seriousness of the problem.

——The most important problem now is no longer the mastermind behind the scenes.

But the virtual in front of him!

It is a little too strong! ! !
