Chapter 200 Disappearance
Upon returning to Las Noches, 'Geo Wig' was demoted for his poor performance.

Barragan wasn't cruel enough to take his life outright; he merely removed him from the ranks of his subordinates and put him in charge of cleaning Las Noches. This was a great humiliation for the proud and arrogant Geo Weiger. However, since Geo Weiger's actions were now under Guan Yi's control, keeping him a little further away from Barragan would make it easier for him to achieve his goals.

However, the two female Arrancar beside him were a bit of a nuisance. They were Arrancar No. 33 and No. 34, Lori Evan and Minori Maria, who held a special position as Aizen's attendants.

It seems that due to Barragan's hidden hatred for Aizen, there was also much discord between Barragan's subordinates and Aizen's two attendants.

Guan Yi ran into them eight times in seven days.

“Menori, look! As expected of Lord Geo Wieg, number 26, this hall has been cleaned without a speck of dust.”

"Yes, but Lord Geo shouldn't forget the corridor outside; it needs to be cleaned too!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The laughter was so loud it almost made Geo Wiegard's mind race. Guan Yi pretended to be annoyed and glared at them, only to be met with even louder laughter.

Just then, a calm, seemingly undisturbed voice came from outside the main hall.

"What are you two doing here?"

Lori and Menori's laughter stopped abruptly as they turned to see a pale-skinned, slender figure slowly walking in from outside the hall.

The two were startled and greeted each other in unison.

"Lord Ulquiorra!"

The newcomer was none other than Ulquiorra, the 4th Espada. His expression was calm and composed, without a trace of emotion. He walked towards the center of Las Noches and spoke again as he passed by Lori and Menori.

"Didn't you receive the summons? Don't leave your positions without permission. Lord Aizen will be arriving at Las Noches in ten minutes."

"!!!"

The two stared at each other in shock, then glared fiercely at Guan Yi—it was all this guy's fault, he almost ruined the important business and was going to be punished by Lord Aizen!
They hurriedly bowed to Ulquiorra in thanks and ran off to prepare to greet Aizen.

Ulquiorra didn't give 'Gio Wieg' much of a look and quickly passed through the hall.

Aizen has arrived! Guan Yi silently strengthened his control over spirit summoning to the extreme, without revealing the slightest abnormality, only his heart was filled with turmoil.

'I didn't expect Aizen to appear so soon. If I face him directly, I'll most likely be exposed. I've also collected enough items...'

He cleaned the dust off the pillar as he moved toward the outside of the corridor.

……

Ten minutes later, in the main hall of Hueco Mundo.

The throne that once belonged to Barragan now had another owner. Aizen sat high on the throne, with Lori and Minori standing behind him, who had rushed over in haste.

Before him, only Barragán, his two subordinates, and Ulquiorra stood respectfully.

Of the Espada, it seems that only two were summoned by Aizen this time to Hueco Mundo.

Aizen's gaze swept over Barragan's two subordinates, and he asked, "Barragan, has anything unusual happened in Hueco Mundo during this time?"

"There's nothing there, Lord Aizen," Barragan replied in a deep voice.

"Is that so?" Aizen remained noncommittal, shifting his gaze to Ulquiorra.

"No, Lord Aizen."

Barragan's eyes twitched, but he was powerless against the 'honest' Ulquiorra. Ulquiorra said, "A week ago, a human who appeared to be a Shinigami captain accidentally entered Hueco Mundo and fought with Barragan's subordinate, Geo Weig."

Geo Weiger was defeated, and Grimmjow arrived just in time, scaring his opponent away. He then gave chase, but has not received any further news since.

"The Grim Reaper... Captain?"

Aizen was slightly surprised, then smiled and said, "Is that so? I didn't know anything about that. Call Geo Weiger over."

"Yes!"

Lori immediately responded and teleported away to find Geo Wieg.

Barragan replied, "He's just a Shinigami who accidentally wandered into Hueco Mundo. It's a trivial matter. No need for Lord Aizen to worry about it. I will handle it."

Aizen remained silent, simply sitting quietly on his throne and waiting. However, five minutes later, only Lori returned. "Lord Aizen!" she reported in astonishment, "Geo Weiger is missing! He was cleaning the Toyo Palace half an hour ago, but now I can't find him anywhere. I've already asked the guards nearby, and none of them have seen him!"

"what?!"

Barragán's expression changed, and he turned to signal to the two subordinates beside him. The two bowed their heads in agreement and went to search, but no feedback came for a long time.

Aizen sat calmly on the throne and waited for half an hour, only to find that Geo Weig had vanished as if into thin air, leaving no trace of him anywhere!

Barragán's expression was extremely grim. He trusted his subordinates; could it be that the Grim Reaper who had broken in had secretly done something to him?!

Aizen, with his deep gaze, gently pushed up his glasses and said softly, "Interesting."

“Since we can’t find them, let’s leave it for now. Barragan, Ulquiorra, I’ve brought you new companions to Hueco Mundo this time. Although they are human, their power is very valuable to us. Ulquiorra, you will personally show them around Hueco Mundo and settle them in…”

……

In the present world, Urahara Store.

"The timings generally match."

Kisuke Urahara tidied up the documents on the table, which contained the bank statements of Guan Yi's bank card that he had managed to obtain: "You're really amazing, Guan Yi-san, making hundreds of billions of yen without making a sound."

"You can rest assured now, Kisuke," Yoruichi said from the side. "When Kaneki took leave, he was just busy making money. He gave me hush money, so you'd better keep this a secret for me from now on!"

Kisuke Urahara didn't answer, only his expression was deep. Yoruichi was taken aback and asked in surprise, "You're not still doubting something, are you? Kisuke, what exactly made you doubt that kid?"

Urahara Kisuke paused for a moment, then shook his head and said, "It's a feeling. I always feel that our relationship with Guan Yi-san has gone too smoothly. We've easily established a friendship with him, easily utilized his Mohist mechanical arts to create many useful things, and easily trained him into a fighting force capable of influencing the course of battle. We've also learned quite a bit of magic from him..."

Everything progressed so smoothly, requiring almost no guidance from us, that I always felt... Guan Yisang was actively cooperating with us.

Moreover, there are many suspicious points about him. Why have I never heard of or seen those bizarre and strange techniques before? Is it really a cultivation tradition from China? But if not, what could it be?

Yoruichi shook her cat head. She didn't think there was anything wrong with Kan's intentions, but she trusted Urahara Kisuke's wisdom. So she asked helplessly, "Alright, how else do you want to investigate? Be careful, Kisuke. If he finds out we're investigating him, it will really make all the past two years of getting along go to waste."

Kisuke Urahara thought for a moment, then looked at the documents in his hand: "Yoruichi-san, I'm even a little scared right now. If even these things were prepared in advance by him, just to hide his true whereabouts and secrets, then what he's hiding is probably bigger than we imagine, and his scheming is deeper than we anticipated..."

"Hey, this is getting scarier and scarier. How could a 20-year-old have the cunning of Aizen? Don't scare yourself..."

"Manager! Manager!" Just then, Jin Tai's sudden shout interrupted their conversation.

Just then, Shen Tai rushed in with a frantic expression, saying, "Something terrible has happened! Manager! Brother Guan Yi... Brother Guan Yi wants to resign!"

Kisuke Urahara's expression changed immediately, and he took the 'resignation letter' from Jinta's hand.

'Manager, Yoruichi, Tessai, Jinta, Koyu... I am grateful for your care over the past two years. My time at Urahara Store has been a pleasant journey of training.'

Although I don't know what the shopkeeper and Yoruichi intend for me to do, it's probably a conflict between Shinigami, and I really don't want to get involved. I've already repaid the gift of the Demonic Path with the Reverse Rebirth Triple Technique and the Qimen Dunjia, so I feel I owe neither of you anything.

I left without saying goodbye today because I was worried that the shop manager, with his silver tongue, would try to lure me into staying in the shop again. Please forgive me.

Don't think about it, don't dwell on it, we'll meet again someday.

While reading the letter, Shen Tai hurriedly said, "Brother Guan Yi didn't come this morning. Xiao Yu and I thought he had overslept, so we went to wake him up, but all we found at his place was this letter!"

"Manager, Mr. Yoruichi, what should we do?!"

Kisuke Urahara and Yoruichi stared at each other in shock.

Did he just happen to resign at this time, or did he sense our suspicions and flee in unease? Could it really be the worst-case scenario?!
"He was still here last night, so he shouldn't have gone too far. Yoruichi-san, split up and search!"

The two acted together, using their spiritual pressure to sense and search for Guan Yi throughout Karakura Town. Half a day later, they returned to Urahara Shop, looked at each other, and shook their heads.

"did not find."

"Don't you have any over there either?"

There won't be any buses going out of Karakura Town early in the morning, so did they run there after using Genpo?

Even the place where I lived didn't leave any trace of spiritual energy. If I had used it all, there should have been at least some trace left!

Where could they have gone? A perfectly healthy person, it's as if they've simply vanished into thin air!
