Chapter 213 212: Split Soul

The meeting was not long.

After completing the main topic of the day, it was almost over.

With the old man’s call of ‘disband’, everyone present instantly switched to a free-movement mode.

Kenpachi Zaraki was the first to leave the meeting room - this guy always had a stern face, and he didn’t seem to be very good at dealing with such serious occasions.

Of course, it might be that he simply didn’t want to meet Unohana Retsu’s eyes, or have a verbal exchange.

Following closely behind was Mayuri Kurotsuchi.

Boss Kurotsuchi seemed to be busy with something recently, and even during the meeting, he looked uninterested.

It was probably that some research had reached a bottleneck again.

The rest of the people surrounded Arima Shizuya, and everyone looked at this colleague from left to right, with expressions of confusion or surprise on their faces.

Soi-Fong stood at the outermost layer, with her arms folded across her chest, showing a rather disgusted expression.

“Weak guy…”

The prison master was also near the outside, looking inside with a fake smile.

Tosen seemed to be hesitant to speak, and he originally seemed to want to step forward, but the blind brother seemed to be a little reserved.

In the end, Doudou turned around and stood next to the prison master again, which was a bit stuck here...

Komamura Sajin looked at his good friend with some strangeness, and obviously didn't understand what Tosen was going to do.

Considering that the relationship between Dagou and Arima Shizuya was not too deep, it was the most normal behavior not to get too close at this time.

In comparison.

The people standing next to Arima Shizuya now obviously had some "concern" in their hearts.

Kuchiki Byakuya lived up to his name.

He stood behind Arima Shizuya like a piece of wood, with a tense face, and no one knew what he was thinking.

But his hands were clenched into fists, which made people feel his nervousness.

A man who is not good at speaking...

Kyoraku Shunsui and Ukitake Jushiro stood on both sides, one on each side, and the expressions on their faces were somewhat relaxed.

"Really? Is there going to be another sickly person in our Thirteenth Team?"

"Shunsui! You are so inappropriate to say these things at this time, you..."

"It's okay, it's okay. You see, the person involved doesn't have any objections, right?"

As he said this, Kyoraku Shunsui smiled and looked at Arima Shizuya.

"Hey~ Captain Arima?"

What else can I do?

The person involved could only respond with a helpless and indifferent smile.

The angle formed by several people has made the surrounding space much tighter, but even so, there are still people who can squeeze in and stand next to Arima Shizuya.

Ichimaru Gin.

He just silently 'looked' at Arima Shizuya, and didn't say anything, making people wonder what this guy was thinking.

If it weren't for the fact that this guy and Arima Shizuya were in a superior-subordinate relationship before, people might have mistakenly thought that the two sides had some conflicts.

Even the person involved began to feel a little embarrassed.

'Um... say something? Gin? '

"..."

'It's so embarrassing, what are you doing like this? '

"..."

Yeah! I don't remember teaching you to answer questions with silence!

Although he kept complaining in his heart, his expression on his face was still helpless... After all, he was concerned about himself.

Don't hit a smiling person.

Moreover, with Arima Shizuya's temper, how could he say bad things to his relatives and friends?

While sighing, Unohana Retsu had already arrived in front of him.

"Although it would be more professional to diagnose when we return to the team house..."

But now is obviously not the time to be particular.

Unohana Retsu's smile on the corner of his mouth was restrained, and the kind Bodhisattva's expression was restrained, revealing a serious outline at this moment.

"Captain Arima, can you show me the handkerchief that covered your mouth before?"

"..."

Can I refuse?

Although I wanted to say so.

But Kuchiki Byakuya behind him suddenly coughed.

——Oh, you can talk with a club?

Considering this situation, even if Arima Shizuya is in good condition and firing at full power, he can't kill...

In the end, he could only helplessly take out the handkerchief in his pocket.

He handed it over.

"That's... a little dirty."

"Do you think the doctor would care about these things?"

That's true.

Unohana Retsu took Arima Shizuka's handkerchief, and when he spread it out... the crowd was silent for a moment.

The traces of blood were unusually bright.

No wonder Arima Shizuka was so quick to clean up, it turned out that he also wanted to cover up this fact.

After witnessing this 'shocking' evidence, Unohana Retsu's eyes froze slightly.

The professional doctor quickly came to a conclusion.

"Since the situation is so serious that you are coughing up blood, it means that your physical condition is not optimistic... Captain Arima, are you really okay?"

Facing Unohana Retsu's questioning, Arima Shizuka also waved his hands repeatedly.

"It's okay, I asked Yuin to see it before, and that guy couldn't tell the severity... In fact, I just made some illegal attempts myself."

Unohana Retsu's expression moved slightly.

"Have you let that kid Kotetsu take a look?"

"Well, after all, the vice-captain of my team is very concerned about this matter, so he has already contacted your team earlier..."

Hinamori Momo watched Arima Shizuya cough up blood, and it could be said that she couldn't sleep well all night long.

In order to appease the other party, Arima Shizu could only compromise and take a look around...

Of course, the results are nothing particularly noteworthy.

After all, only the parties involved understand the reasons.

——On that day, in order to ensure that the virtual poison was transferred into Masaki Kurosaki's body, he compressed his spiritual pressure to the greatest extent within the limit.

Wanting to be injured without dying is a very difficult thing in itself.

Fortunately.

The end result is gratifying.

Arima Shizu could feel a clear force peeling out of the clone's body, and finally passed to Masaki Kurosaki.

It is definitely very difficult to achieve this step. Arima Shizu also mastered the ability called "transfer" after tearing Xubai to pieces with his hands.

After all, it is not something that comes with it, and it is naturally difficult to control it like an arm.

And after achieving this goal.

But before he could appreciate the separated energy, Arima Shizu intuitively experienced severe pain.

It was like a giant ax falling from the sky and splitting along the center line of the Tianling Cap.

With his spirit and body connected, he seems to be so stubborn that he wants to cut Arima Shizuya whole...

A violent touch, distinct and strong.

And this severe pain caused even a strong person like Arima Shizuya to faint directly...

When I woke up, I was in the fifth division team building.

If you think about it carefully, at this stage, the prison master and Tosen should help move him back to the Seireitei.

If not, he would have been either 'picked up' by the Masked Legion or taken away by Kyōraku Shunsui at that time...

Of course, that's another story.

In fact, after the pain that day, Arima Shizuya's condition has worsened until now.

And if you want to find out the reason.

That's because at this moment, Arima Shizuya's soul is in a state of 'missing'.

Yaksha clone.

Gone.

No, if we want to describe it accurately, Arima Shizuo at this moment cannot feel the power belonging to the Zanpakutō.

It seems to come with the ability to 'shift'.

With the power of Yasha's clone, part of Shizuya Arima's soul was poured into Kurosaki Masaki's body.

Although I don't know why it turned out like this, Arima Shizu is indeed extremely weak at this moment.

after all……

He has simply lost half of his soul.

It was as if half of the organs had been completely stripped off.

If you were an ordinary person, even if you were not killed directly at this moment, you would be lying half-dead in bed and turning into a vegetative state.

And Arima Shizu can still move freely.

This in itself is already a powerful manifestation... and the reason why the person involved at this moment resists having people 'see a doctor'.

This reason was also taken into consideration.

——A good captain lost half of his soul for no reason.

Turtle, is this Seireitei haunted?

He didn't want to cause unnecessary commotion, and he also didn't want to cause trouble to others. Arima Shizu just wanted to avoid these 'possibilities' as much as possible.

In order to cover up his weakness, Arima Shizu also tried his best to simulate the level of spiritual pressure he originally possessed by weaving spirit seeds during his travels.

I have to say that it is absolutely difficult to achieve this level.

However, relying on the ability of the Swastika, the Eight Heavenly Dragons, and the Gandharva, Shizuya Arima's level of control over the spirits is far beyond the reach of ordinary Shinigami.

It is not difficult for him to construct such a mirage.

While his thoughts were wandering, the door was pushed open.

The vice-captains who had been waiting outside for a long time also entered the room at this moment.

The one walking at the front was Hinamori Momo - this guy was holding a rather delicate crutch in his arms.

Needless to say...this stuff is just for Arima Shizuya.

Although I have said many times before, I don't need this kind of props exclusive to senior citizens.

But the other party didn't seem to listen at all.

This vice-captain is good at everything, but only at these times...she seems more willing to stick to her own opinions.

The few people who followed were almost all familiar faces.

Kira Izuru, who is a little more cheerful than before;

With his own strength, Renji Abarai, who finally climbed to the position of deputy captain of the sixth division, was also among them.

While respecting their own captain, the vice-captains who also had a "fate" with Arima Shizu also greeted him cautiously.

"Captain Arima..."

It's just that unspeakable expression that's a little eye-catching.

Considering Hinamori Momo's character, she should have explained the situation while waiting outside.

At this moment, even Matsumoto Rangiku put down the wine glass in his hand and looked at Arima Shizuya with a sad face.

It's a bit exaggerated...

Do you care about me being ‘injured’ to this extent?

While sighing in his heart, Unohana Retsu in front of Arima Shizuya also frowned.

"Kuche's child does have medical skills that are no less than mine. Since she has nothing to do..."

Then there's nothing you can do about it, right?

Being able to get away with it was already a happy ending for everyone - Arima Shizuya was relieved in his heart.

Unohana Retsu in front of him suddenly raised his head and thrust out his right hand like lightning.

"......?!!!"

The sudden action was really unpredictable.

Moreover, with Arima Shizuya's current physical condition, he could not avoid it.

Caught off guard, Arima Shizuya's chest was heavily "touched" by the opponent.

Puff...

In the faint sound, it was as if glass fell to the ground, a certain illusory thing that was constructed.

It also ushered in shattering at this moment.

Arima Shizuya's breath was fully revealed at this moment.

"!!!"

"What is this..."

"Hey, hey, hey, wait, is this true?!"

"Isn't this already covered with wounds!"

There was no mediocre player in the popular sense at the scene. For Arima Shizuya at this moment, even the most inexperienced Soi Fong could look at him "from a high position" at this moment.

The weakness of the soul and body was clearly seen by all the captains.

Even the other vice-captains could sense the obvious abnormality.

The spiritual pressure that was imperceptible in the past became clear at this moment - how could such an abnormal phenomenon not make people pay attention?

"Captain Arima, what's going on with you?!"

It can be said that after becoming a captain.

This is the first time that Arima Shizuka has ended up in such a "disgraceful" situation.

She wanted to explain something.

But one question after another almost drowned her.

In the end, a clapping sound came from outside, which completely curbed the commotion.

"Everyone, please be patient."

It was Aizen Sosuke who spoke.

His right hand grabbed Soi-Fong who was about to step forward, and the smile on his face was extremely friendly.

It seemed that just seeing this expression could give people a sense of calm...

This made the originally somewhat chaotic situation completely calm down at this moment.

"Let's first listen to the judgment of the authoritative person, Captain Unohana Retsu."

The best solution given by the prison master also put the topic back on track.

Then focus your eyes.

The sorrow on Unohana Retsu's face is as compassionate as the Bodhisattva's eyes shed tears.

"Captain Arima, I don't want to ask you about your experience."

"But the current situation can no longer let me watch."

"With your strength, you should be able to understand...what the loss of soul means?"

The person concerned pondered for a moment, and then chuckled again.

"Uh...hehe, it's almost the same."

I thought I had concealed it, but I didn't expect Unohana Retsu to be so sensitive in this regard.

And now...complaining is not Arima Jingye's style.

Anyway, it's all exposed.

Then I can only break the jar.

Raising his hand, under the concerned and worried eyes of everyone, Arima Jingye patted the back of his head and said in a calm tone.

"My current strength... is probably only at the level of fourth-level spiritual power."

Good news.

The lost soul will recover slowly like an injury.

Bad news.

But that process will definitely not be too short - even the death god who has been numb to the series of units of measurement such as years, months and days.

will feel that the cycle of soul recovery is long.

And now, Arima Shizuya.

is trapped in the vortex called "incompleteness".

Unohana Retsu said word by word at this moment.

"Even with my help, it will take at least more than ten years to recover from an injury like yours."

Arima Shizuya was still smiling bitterly, but after hearing this, his expression subtly changed a little.

More than ten years?

Wait...

It seems that it is not so unacceptable?
